At the end of the weekend month, I hope you will cheer for your support! ）

When I entered the store, it was a small storefront, but the furnishings were quite wild. The store was originally unable to book a seat at this time, but Pei Du expected that the high-door eunuchs would not dare to travel today, and there must be a place here, and sure enough, there was a private room by the window. As soon as he entered the private room, Pei Du called Xiao Er to make noodle soup and let Bai Yuan and the others clean their faces. Note that the word noodle soup, noodles refers to the face, and the soup is hot water, which is translated into the vernacular as face washing water, not the gnocchi soup often drunk by people in northern Jiangsu. Xiao Er waited and cleaned the clothes for the two. At this time, Bai Yuan's anger also disappeared a little.

The three of them were polite, because Pei Du's age, qualifications, and official positions were higher than the two, and he was the master, so Pei Du sat on the table, and the two of them accompanied him. When he was young, the second child came up to drink tea and fruits and vegetables, and the three of them chatted and waited for the food to be served, and after saying three or two words, they talked about today's matter.

Seeing Pei Du ask, Yuan Zhen, who had calmed down, immediately became excited again, slapped his palm on the table, and said: "Today's affairs, the people are really angry, and if the eunuchs are arrogant, how can the country have peace?" Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Bai Juyi, and then continued.

It turned out that Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhi were both secretaries and provincial school scholars, and they both planned to participate in next year's election of officials, so early this morning, Yuan Zhi came to the house to find Bai Juyi and discuss the matter. Seeing that today's spring breeze is warm and the weather is fine, not as gloomy as in the past, I moved the heart of travel. The two were originally petty officials, so they didn't have so many taboos, so they rode the Bai family's horse to Qujiang together. Today, the executives didn't travel much, but they were met by the two. Because of the congestion on the road, Yuan Zhen's horse blocked the road of a family's carriage, and was beaten by the evil slave, Bai Juyi hurriedly stepped forward to report his identity, but the evil slave said: "The district secretary and the provincial school secretary, I also dare to praise in front of my family, I beat you today!" Yuan Zhen had an impulsive temper, so he fought with this evil slave who spoke disrespectfully. Originally, the two of them were at a loss, but fortunately, Gao Chongwen, the envoy of the Shence Army, passed by the side of the road, and heard that it was the talented Bai Juyi, and saw that the evil slave was named in the Shence Army, so he stepped forward to drink, and when he asked, he knew that this was the car of the eunuch Xue Yingzhen's housekeeper. Gao Chongwen persuaded him with good words, and Xue Yingzhen's housekeeper sold Gao Chongwen's face and made Bai Yuan and the others apologize, but Yuan Zhen was unwilling to apologize, and Bai Juyi lowered his head. Thank you Gao Chongwen, but when I turned around, I saw that the evil slave made a lewd gesture, Yuan Zhi was furious, and found that his new clothes were broken, and he refused to do anything, Yuan Zhen's family was poor, this new clothes were made by Mrs. Wei's stitch and thread, Wei was born in a big family, and he loved Yuan Zhen's talent to marry, and he suffered a lot but never complained, so Yuan Zhi especially loved Mrs., and at this time he was even more unwilling to give up, and was pulled all the way back by Bai Juyi, and then met Pei Du.

After listening to Bai Juyi's speech, Yuan Zhi said angrily: "The villain has a will!" A housekeeper's subordinate is also so arrogant, but it is really annoying to imagine this eunuch flying and domineering! Bai Juyi also shook his head and sighed: "Since the chaos of the country's history, it has been sinking day by day, and it is thanks to the heroic military of the first emperors and the service of the ministers that it has been stable for more than 20 years." Now that His Majesty has taken the throne at the beginning of his reign, although he is physically inconvenient, he has made great efforts to govern the country, stopped entering the service, and belittled Li Shi, all of which are good governance. It's just that the envoy is so arrogant, I'm afraid it will hurt the ambition of the soldiers! Although a certain official position is meager, he will be a letter tomorrow to report this matter for His Majesty, and to restrain the envoys from advancing and retreating with an imperial decree. "At that time, the eunuchs were powerful, and the high-ranking officials knew that their status was not easy to come by, and they were afraid of the eunuchs, and there were many people who swallowed their anger when they encountered this matter. And Bai Juyi Yuanzhi is just a petty official at this time, he belongs to a hot-blooded young man, he has no scruples, and only takes his family and country as his own responsibility, so he dares to say so.

Pei Dufu came to Jingshi, originally intended to be stable before exercising the ministry, at this time, seeing that Yuan Bai and the others spoke generously, not because of their own injustice, but because of their own injustice, but thinking of national affairs, secretly admired in his heart. Pei Du is a character who lives and dies for the benefit of the country, so he said solemnly: "The two secretaries Lang Gaoyi are really admired." The two of you are like this, how can you save face for me? A certain place to supervise the imperial history, this matter is an internal matter, and it must be impeached by him, but there is no such thing today, last night Sun Rongyi's mansion held a banquet, singing music until late at night, such a presumptuous thing, a certain will also be impeached in the book. The two of you are waiting for the time being, waiting for me Pei to play the news tomorrow. "It is taboo to overstep one's duties, not to mention the two of them who are petty officials, and they don't know where they will be left when they go to the book. At this time, the two heard that Pei Du was willing to impeach the eunuch for them, and they were overjoyed at the moment, and they thanked them without mentioning it.

At this time, Xiao Er came up to lay down the dishes, and the three of them drank happily, and Yuan Zhen was also happy, and frequently toasted Pei Du. The three of them talked about some national affairs, talked about the streets, songs and articles, and speculated, and they all secretly sighed that the trip was worthwhile.

When they were drinking and drinking happily, suddenly there was a commotion in their ears, and the three of them were strange, and they got up and looked at the window, only to see a large group of people coming this way, so they shouted and cheered while walking, which startled the three of them. I vaguely heard words such as "killed tolerance", "lawlessness" and "deserved", and my curiosity was even heavier. It happened that the group of people approached, and the private room of the three was by the window, and Yuan Zhen looked at it, and it was the group of evil slaves who were tied up and walking this way, and an official on the side was riding on a horse, with a gray face and a face full of anger. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a person and asked, but the person was a lively watcher, and when he saw a lot of people, he followed, and the specific situation was not clear. Yuan Zhen was angry and funny when he heard it, so he had to let go.

Just as he was about to find someone to ask again, a person next to him said: "Three officials, the villain knows this matter very clearly." ”

When the three of them looked back, they saw a yellow-skinned young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, his face covered with plaster, and only a pair of eyes flashed brightly, revealing a shrewd appearance. Dressed in rags, holding a bamboo pole in one hand, the lower end is cracked, and a bowl in the other, it turned out to be a beggar. Yuan Bai and the others frowned, but Pei Du didn't care, and asked, "This little brother, how do you know?" ”

The young man was silent, Yuan Zhen was anxious, and was about to ask, but the young man looked up at the sky and raised the bowl in his hand, Pei Du smiled, knowing that the young beggar was asking for a reward, so he took out the money bag. Bai Juyi next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw this young man acting, Pei Du was happy to do good deeds, and when he saw that the young man was pitiful, he grabbed a handful and threw it into the bowl. The young man wanted to earn one or two pennies and be content, but Kuang Kuang rang out and looked down, seven or eight pennies lying in a broken bowl, and immediately, with a smile, he stretched out his hand to grab the money, stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a mouthful: "Three adults, so charitable, he will definitely pay homage to the prime minister in the future!" Just about to continue to tout, but seeing Pei Du's face cold, he hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth, and said: "My lord is merciful, the villain was dizzy for a while when he saw so much money, and he forgot what you adults want to ask, and he should be beaten!" Villains, that's for adults. The villain's name is Zhao Wu, who usually begs for a living and lives ten miles outside the city......"

On the side, Bai Juyi shouted: "Say what matters to choose." ”

Zhao Wu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes." There are many people in Qujiang today, and the villain comes here to beg, just to see it. The one who was arrested was the housekeeper in Gonggong Xue's mansion, named Jia Hu, who was just a scoundrel back then, but he just voted for Lord Xue, and he received a share of money and food in the Shence Army on weekdays, relying on his official power, and doing all kinds of evil. Today, I wanted to take advantage of the large number of people in Qujiang to tease some little ladies from good families, but I didn't want Lord Han to know that there are many people in Qujiang today, so I will send more arrests to maintain them. Seeing such a scoundrel molesting a woman, he stepped forward to stop it. That little lady is really handsome, Jia Hu is reluctant to let go. Lord Han is a master, but he is friendly with his father-in-law in the palace, so he is good at persuasion, but these people put Lord Han in their eyes, the two sides quarreled, disagreed, and killed the tolerance of Wannian County, Lord Han was furious, so he ordered these people to be arrested, and after a fight, the group of splashes scattered and fled, only catching Jia Hu and a few people. Now I am returning to Wannian County for trial. I don't know if the villain's words are what the adults want to hear? ”

Zhao Wu's words, although they were verbose, the main information was not leaked at all. Pei Du nodded unconsciously.

Yuan Zhenqi said: "How do you know that we are officials? The young man said, "This lord, all the people in the group have the characteristics of the group, the merchants are all smiling, the shrewdness is hidden in the flesh, the people in the army are all angry, and the officials are naturally different." ”

At this moment, the three of them knew the situation and were not in a hurry, seeing Zhao Wu say this, not only Yuan Zhen was curious, but even Pei Du and Bai Juyi were also interested, wondering how this beggar could say something. Then he asked, how is the knowledge of the official body?

Seeing that the three of them were interested, Zhao Wu wanted to show off more and more, so he said: "In the villain's house, he used to be a tailor. Whenever an official comes to my house to make clothes, my family doesn't ask anything else, only what subject it is, how old and high school they are, and the clothes they make are all suitable. It turns out that young high schools are often complacent, walking with their heads held high, and old high school students, after repeated ups and downs, are exhausted, and walk with their heads bowed and pinched their shoulders. My family only cut down in turn, and everything fits. Therefore, the expressions and attitudes of the three adults can be seen at a glance that the three of them are all young in high school. This last sentence is pure sycophancy. Pei Du saw that what he said made sense, so he rewarded dozens of articles. Zhao Wu was even more grateful, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Pei Du originally saw that this Zhao Wu was clear-minded and not an ordinary beggar, and wanted to ask more, but Yuan Zhi wanted to go to Wannian County as soon as possible to see the bad luck of those wicked people, and urged again and again, Pei Du had to wave his hand to let Zhao Wu go.

The three of them had no intention of eating, so they met the account, Pei Du went to the station to get the horse, and the three of them met and rushed to Wannian County.
