Seeing the ruffian molesting the woman of a good family, Xiao Wu immediately couldn't help it, and was about to take the bow and arrow on the horse with her backhand, but Zhang Yi reached out to stop her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chong Xiaowu shook his head, and Zhang Yi whispered: "Don't be reckless, our purpose is to enter the city!" ”

"But ......" Xiao Wu still had to argue, but after seeing Zhang Yi's stern gaze, he finally let go of the hand holding the bow and arrow.

The commotion in front didn't last long, the few soldiers were too addicted to their hands and let the two women go, the team entering the city was still moving slowly, lined up, and finally it was Zhang Yi's turn, although the city gate official looked at Huang Zhong's official documents, but when he heard Huang Zhong they were foreign accents, he immediately looked at Huang Zhong with bad intentions, his eyes swept on Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong was quite unhappy, but fortunately he turned his gaze away before Huang Zhong was angry.

After the city gate official looked at Huang Zhong and them, he led people to check Zhang Yi's frame in turn, and when he saw Huang Wudie riding a horse, the city gate official's eyes were filled with wolf light.

After seeing the eyes of the city gate official, Zhang Yi chuckled in his heart and secretly said that it was not good.

"All the people at once come down and be checked!" The city gate official shouted loudly at his bull throat, but a pair of mung bean eyes kept aiming at Huang Wudie.

Sure enough, the city gate official had a lustful heart.

Afraid that he would cause trouble, Zhang Yi hurriedly dismounted, rushed to the city gate official in a few steps, and secretly stuffed the 10 taels of gold that had been prepared into the hands of the city gate official.

Checking the gold in his hand, the city gate official was too little to say, but he had encountered a lot of this situation, and he had a lot of bad ideas in his stomach.

Turning a pair of mung bean eyes, the city gate official beckoned to the two ruffians, and then said, "Let's see, if there is any contraband, let them into the city." ”

After the city gate official finished speaking, a pair of mung bean eyes kept glancing at Xiao Wu, and the two ruffians immediately understood, and began to search the vehicle pretendedly.

Seeing that the city gate official was unrelenting, Zhang Yi was angry but didn't dare to offend him, and when he was in a hurry, Sima Wei, who had already gotten out of the car, suddenly asked the city gate official: "My lord, bother to ask, where does Zhao Zhong and Zhao Chang's family live?" ”

"What? Zhao ...... Zhao Changshi? As soon as the city gate official heard Zhao Zhong's name, he stammered, and after the corners of his mouth twitched, he asked Sima Wei rhetorically: "...... Are you looking for Zhao Changshi? ”

"Yes, the ancestor of my son-in-law is an old friend of Zhao Changshou," said Sima Wei, who turned his head to Zhang Yi and said, "Son, what about the letter from the head of the family to Zhao Changshou?" Take it out and show it to the official. ”

Listening to Sima Wei's words, Zhang Yi immediately reacted, and while praising Sima Wei's brain for turning fast, he reached out and pulled it into his arms, and when Zhang Yi took out the cloth bag wrapped in Bai Juan, the city gate official immediately panicked.

"Stop, stop," while drinking his subordinates, the city gate official said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhao Changshi's old man, disrespectful and disrespectful, let the small one go!" ”

The city gate official is also an old man, knowing that this kind of thing would rather be credible than not, he can see from Zhang Yi's clothes that Zhang Yi is a decent person, and he doesn't dare to check the letter to Zhao Zhong, let alone offend Zhao Zhong's people, so he can only believe that Zhang Yi What they said is true.

Saying that, the city gate official hurriedly waved his hand at the other two subordinates, signaling them to let them go, but his subordinates didn't understand what was going on, they looked at him with a confused expression, and then the corners of their mouths skimmed in the direction of Xiao Wu, indicating that he hadn't taken advantage of it yet, how could he let him go.

"Smack"

A big slap in the face of a soldier shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear that Lao Tzu asked you to let you go? ”

After yelling, the city gate official leaned into the soldier's ear and whispered, "They are Zhao Changshi's people, do you want to die?" ”

Hearing that the city gate official said that Zhang Yi was Zhao Zhong's people, those ruffian companies immediately changed color, and hurriedly stood aside respectfully, not daring to glance at Xiao Wu's body anymore.

"Then thank you Jun Master," after arching his hand to the city gate, Zhang Yi turned over his horse and shouted: "Enter the city." ”

After saying that, Zhang Yi grabbed the horse's belly and swaggered to the city, and after knowing that Zhang Yi was Zhao Zhong's people, those soldiers not only didn't dare to ask for the city tax, but also bowed down to see Zhang Yi and them off.

After entering the city, Zhang Yi chartered a small inn as usual, and then asked the guards where Zhao Zhong's house was in the hall, when he was at home, and before Zhang Yi could settle down, the guards trotted back, not only did the hall know where Zhao Zhong's house was, but also inquired that he was at home now, and he would be at home this afternoon.

Although Zhao Zhong is a eunuch, he is one of the most powerful people in the Han Dynasty now, even Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty calls him his mother, which shows how powerful he is, it is normal for a powerful minister like him to have a mansion in Luoyang, and because he is powerful, he can know where his mansion is with a little inquiry.

Knowing that Zhao Zhong was at home, Zhang Yi immediately rushed to Zhao's mansion with 3,000 taels of gold, Sima Wei and two guards.

The street where Zhao's Mansion is located is the most famous Vermilion Bird Street in Luoyang, which is the residence of dignitaries, and the people generally do not come to this street, so after arriving at Suzaku Street, there is no lively scene of people coming and going on the street.

Zhang Yi didn't bring Zhou Wu with him when he came to Zhao's mansion, otherwise it would be inconvenient to introduce Zhao Zhong's words when he asked, in case Zhao Zhong heard that Zhou Wu was Zhou Xian's son, and gave Zhou Wu the official with a stroke of his brain, wouldn't Zhang Yi be sad.

Outside Zhao Zhong's mansion, Zhang Yi saw a pair of stone lions that did not match Zhao Zhong's identity, usually there will be stone lions in front of the official house, but generally their stone lions do not have a ball on their necks, and even if there is, there will only be one or three, because the stone lion in the Han Dynasty only the royal family and the royal chartered minister's family will be carved, the stone lion in front of the palace is Jiuying, the prince and nobleman are eight Ying, and the back is gradually reduced, generally below the fourth grade is not allowed to carve without a license, and the stone lion of Zhao Zhong's family is actually eight Ying, It's no wonder that even Emperor Han Ling called his mother, and he didn't give Emperor Han Ling a price if he didn't carve eight Ying.

Without being too entangled in the pair of stone lions, Zhang Yi straightened his clothes and went up to call the door, and only Sima Wei followed him, and the two guards stood under the stone steps and watched the horses.

As soon as Zhang Yi and Sima Wei went up the steps, the guards of the Zhao Mansion came out.

The doorman pouted and shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you doing, you know where this is, just break in?" ”

is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, Zhang Yi saw that the door of the Zhao Mansion came out, and immediately took out the gold in his arms, and then respectfully handed it over.

"Zhou Sinong, Zhou Xian's protégé Zhang Yi, the special master of the family teacher's letter, asking to see Zhao Changshi." Bowing down, Zhang Yi respectfully handed over 60 taels of gold along with Zhou Xian's letter.

This time Zhang Yi didn't save money, he was afraid that he would give less, and he wouldn't even be able to enter the door, which would be embarrassing, and when he came, Sima Wei said that the money given to Zhao's men could not be less, because he had to send it up level by level, and if the gold was less, he couldn't send it to Zhao Zhong at all.

After getting the gold, the menzi immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Zhou's protégé, come on, come on, please inside." ”

After beckoning Zhang Yi and Sima Wei into the gatehouse, the doorman immediately trotted into the inner courtyard.

It is good to give gold, Zhang Yi and Sima Wei's butts have not yet been hot, and there is a word from inside, letting Zhang Yi and Sima Wei enter the main hall.

After Menzi led Zhang Yi into the inner courtyard, he handed them over to the steward of the inner courtyard, and the steward of the inner courtyard led them into the side compartment and handed them over to the steward of the main hall.

According to Zhou Xian, he had saved Zhao Zhong's life twice, so Zhao Zhong took special care of him after taking power, but she was a clear-eyed person and saw that the court was unstable, and Zhao Zhong couldn't wait too long, he was afraid that Zhao Zhong would affect himself after the fall, so he told the old man to return to his hometown, but even if he told the old man to return to his hometown, Zhao Zhong still sent people to see him every year, which shows that Zhou Xian's kindness to Zhao Zhong was not small.

After Zhang Yi and Sima Wei entered the main hall, they didn't see Zhao Zhong, the steward just arranged for Zhang Yi to sit down, served tea, and no one paid attention to him anymore, no wonder, with Zhao Zhong's identity, it was naturally impossible to sit in the main hall and wait for him.

Zhang Yi waited for a cup of tea, and Zhao Zhong walked out of the inner hall slowly.
