Pang Ji was very proud: "Xiangguo, what did those rotten Confucians say when the early dynasty was today?" They also know that Pang Xi is my person, don't they have any reaction? ”

Pang Ji himself can't go to court now, even if he knows some general situations, but like the reaction of the key person at the time, he still has to rely on Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian sighed deeply, his expression was a little sad, which made Pang Ji a little surprised: "Isn't it good?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "Everything is the same as our plan, those righteous men and gentlemen didn't think about making a fuss about this matter at all, they definitely thought in their hearts that even if Chen Shimei and Pang Xi were our people, but after doing this good deed, they couldn't do too much." Now Fan Zhongyan is putting on a posture of waiting to be beaten, which really makes the old man boring. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan had already roughly understood the current situation in the court, and people like Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu would definitely not think that Pang Ji sent Pang Xi to Liao with him to make Liao like this just out of an accident, they knew that Pang Ji must have a backhand waiting to be killed.

At this time, there are two most effective ways to protect them, one is to abandon the car and protect the handsome, and take the initiative to dispose of Song Qi to Renzong. The other is to discredit himself, make his reputation stink before he comes back, and set up a plaque for himself as a "bad guy" in Renzong's heart.

But Fan Zhongyan and those people will neither abandon the car to protect the handsome, nor will they attack themselves, the reason is very simple, they are all gentlemen.

Pang Ji laughed: "This Fan Lao'er is like this, just like the last time I turned him down, he is stubborn and a little cute." Could it be that when the emperor asked about Chen Shimei, no one said anything in the court? ”

Chen Yuan was shocked in his heart: "The emperor asked about me?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "Of course, if you make Liao like this this time, the people have already spread it all over the country. The news of your return has not spread yet, and I guess it will not be so convenient for you to go out tomorrow. The emperor also asked about your situation in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and Ouyang Xiu actually said that you were just a peddler who did not seek progress. ”

Chen Yuan gently rubbed his nose, Ouyang Xiu's evaluation of himself, although it was biased, he didn't get much worse.

Lu Yijian suddenly glanced at Chen Yuan very meaningfully, and then said: "But Bao Heizi has the heart to protect those corrupt Confucians, Bao Heizi said that the talent of the world's beauty champion is no less than Song Qi, he can take on heavy responsibilities as a vigilant person, and he can be loyal and honest to take care of big things." ”

Chen Yuan almost squirted out the wine in his mouth when he drank it, he was very surprised! He didn't know if what Lao Bao said was true or false, Lao Bao looked up to himself like this? Or do you want to say two good words out of gratitude to yourself after rescuing that Zhang Kuangzheng? Whatever the reason, it's always right to make a good impression in Lao Bao's heart. Chen Yuan wanted to laugh a little, an unconscious, unprovoked smile from his heart.

When Pang Ji heard Bao Zheng say this, he also understood the meaning of deliberately defending Fan Zhongyan and the others, and the contempt on his face suddenly disappeared: "Xiangguo, if Bao Heizi really intervenes, then the matter is really a little troublesome!" ”

Lu Yijian smiled and shook his head: "Is the Taishi very afraid of Bao Zheng?" ”

Of course Ponji is afraid! The reason why he was afraid of Bao Zheng was very simple, that is, Bao Zheng was more frank than Xia Zhu, so that Pang Ji couldn't grasp the slightest handle. More flexible than Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng would never say those useless words, and he would never jump into the pit dug by Pang Ji. than Ouyang Xiu's demeanor.

Now almost all the important ministers have gone through ups and downs, Xia Zhu, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, and Lu Yijian have all experienced a few ups and downs, including him Pang Ji, even if he has a daughter in the palace, he has almost finished several times.

Only Bao Zheng, although he can't talk about the clouds, he is stepping steadily step by step, and the solidity under his footsteps is unique in the Renzong Dynasty.

So Pang Ji didn't want to provoke Bao Zheng, and when he heard Lu Yijian ask, he immediately asked rhetorically: "Are we looking for someone to ask Bao Heizi and probe his bottom line?" ”

Lu Yijian said with a smile: "At the birthday banquet of the fifth queen, why don't you invite him to come?" ”

Pang Ji thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Chen Shimei, after the fifth day, it will be the old man's birthday, and the emperor will come when the time comes." I will arrange a suitable opportunity for the emperor to see you. With what you do this time, you will definitely be able to reuse. ”

Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, this may be a very enviable thing in the eyes of others, but Chen Yuan doesn't care. After passing through the Liao State and his party, he had reached the point where he was extremely tired of politics and power struggles, and he was not interested in participating in the struggle between Pang Ji and Lü Yijian and Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu.

He wanted to go home, now that everything was relatively stable, he went back to pick up Chen Shimei's parents, Qin Xianglian, and the two oil bottles that Chen Shimei dragged down. Then he built a villa, married Linghua and Hu Jing into the door, and the family lived happily together.

It's okay to give some gifts to the two old guys in front of you, and ask them to help if you are in trouble. Of course, Ouyang Xiu and those people don't offend themselves, and then train those Jurchens into bodyguards and suppress those little gangsters, and no one will bully them in the future! If you think there are fewer people in the family, you can give birth to a few dolls, and if you don't have enough wives, you can soak a few more chicks.

"Taishi, I may not be able to come to the birthday banquet, I want to go back to Junzhou and go home to see. Don't hide it from the master, I haven't been home for two years, and I even miss it in my heart. Chen Yuan said softly.

Pang Ji was stunned at the time, Chen Yuan was obviously a prevarication, even if you are in a hurry, can you still wait for a few days? Lao Pang's eyes drifted to Lu Yijian, and Lu Yijian smiled: "Since Shimei is homesick, let's arrange to go back as soon as possible, without Shimei here, isn't there still Pang Xi?" Let's do the same. ”

Seeing what Lu Yijian said, Chen Yuan hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you Xiangguo!" ”

Pang Ji naturally didn't want to say anything, so he raised his glass at the moment: "Okay, then don't force Shimei." Come, let's drink and celebrate the safe return of Shimei and Pang Xi! ”

Five people picked up their cups at the same time and drank them all.

When Chen Yuan left the Taishi Mansion, he was in a very comfortable mood. Lao Pang promised to come forward to help with the land matter, and he could naturally handle it. Tomorrow, I will arrange the affairs of Bianjing by myself, mainly Amuda's barbecue restaurant and Han Qi's wine shop, and it is best to run these two together.

Then it's time to get ready to go home.

When he picks up Qin Xianglian, the nightmare coiled in his heart will end. Don't be afraid of Bao Zheng anymore!

The carriage walked slowly down the street, not very fast.

Chen Yuan poked his head out of the car window, looked at the bustling night market in Bianjing, and couldn't help but be full of pride: "It won't be long before the most lively stall in the Bianjing night market must be my own barbecue restaurant!" ”

Fantasizing about the prosperous scene of guests dozens of times a day at a table, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth slowly floated into a smile.

He just wants to do business, and people say that everything is inferior, but Chen Yuan is interested in inferior, people live, they have to live happily.

The carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and Chen Yuan was caught off guard and the whole person rushed out of the cushion, seeing that he was about to fall off the carriage, but fortunately, the handlebar saw the opportunity quickly, and pulled Chen Yuan away: "Shopkeeper, didn't hurt you, right?" ”

The handlebar-like voice was a little frightened, Chen Yuan's original anger subsided in this panicked voice, and he suddenly remembered the time he saw Lu Yijian in Xiangguo Temple, these people who drove the car were actually just coolies living at the bottom.

Patting the knee that was touched and hurt a little, Chen Yuan said softly: "You also look at it when you catch the car, it's okay, let's go." ”

The handlebar type breathed a sigh of relief: "The shopkeeper, it's not that I don't look at the road, it's really that this guy rushed out too fast!" ”

Chen Yuan saw that there was a person lying on the ground with a smell of alcohol, trying to stand up.

"You didn't touch him, did you?" Seeing that the man didn't stand up a few times, Chen Yuan was a little worried.

The handlebar hurriedly said, "No! The people on both sides are looking at it, and there is still half a horse left! ”

When he was hesitating whether he should go down to check it out, seven or eight strong men suddenly rushed out of the restaurant next to him, and knocked the drunk man down and punched and kicked him!

The man's body rolled on the ground with the legs and feet of those strong men, and he couldn't even stand up, but those strong men still didn't give up, and scolded while beating: "You dare to drink without money?" I think you're tired of it! If I don't give you some color today, you'll come back next time! ”

Chen Yuan is no longer the original Chen Yuan, he is very calm in the face of such a scene, hesitating whether to help this drunk or leave now?

At this time, a guy with a big belly and a round waist walked out of the restaurant, maybe the boss or the shopkeeper, looked at the strong men who were fighting and shouted: "Don't kill you!" Just break his legs! ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, he let out a long breath of wine, and then shouted at the man: "Brother Tai, stop first." ”

As he spoke, he jumped out of the carriage.

The man glanced at Chen Yuan: "You are?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled and pointed at the drunk: "How much wine money he drank, I'll help him give it." ”

When the man heard this, he nodded: "Okay, but I advise you not to be too troublesome, this guy doesn't know what to do." When he used to drink with me, people often paid for him, but he was the one who paid for him and he beat whom! Be careful. ”

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard it, who helped him pay and who he beats? And such people?

The man had already fallen to the ground and couldn't move, and blood stains were sprinkled around, Chen Yuan cautiously leaned over and stood far away: "Brother? Brother? ”

The man's hand snapped, but he didn't get up, and it seemed that the injury was too severe. Chen Yuan approached and flipped him over, and when he turned over, Chen Yuan was suddenly taken aback: "Chai Daguan!" How are you? ”

Chai Yang was filthy, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he stared at Chen Yuan and didn't speak. Chen Yuan hurriedly greeted the handlebar: "Quick, come and help me help him," before he finished speaking, suddenly a heavy punch hit Chen Yuan's waist, and Chen Yuan was beaten and rolled twice in a row.

The fat man from the hotel hurriedly ran over: "Guest officer, you see me tell you to be careful, this guy is crazy!" ”
