During the Xiantong period, Tian Lingzi was already a celebrity around the saint, although the official position was not high, but he could walk in front of the emperor and talk to the saint.

You must know that this is something that many people can't envy, just take the officials from other places as an example, if you can see the saint when you go back to Beijing to report on your work, then you can be promoted to three levels in a row.

Of course, there is also a way to not see the saint and pay money to bribe the celebrities around the saint, as long as you take out enough money, of course, more money is not a good thing, and it depends on whether the other party is willing or not.

So there's a lot of tricks and knowledge out there.

Lingnan is located in the border of the Tang Dynasty, sparsely populated and even birds don't in the place, the festival makes Fang Xingwei work here for more than ten years, because of old age and frailty want to resign and go home, in the hometown of a certain errand, after all, people still have to fall back to their roots!

He reported to his superiors, and his superiors promised him to return to Beijing to report on his work and resign from the above table.

Half a year later, Fang Xingwei's family arrived in Chang'an, and after appreciating the majesty of Chang'an City, they encountered a tricky thing.

In the Gao family wine shop, I met a few thieves who didn't give money after eating and wanted to slip away.

"Xiao Er, I didn't bring any money when I came out in a hurry today, and I will make up for it next time I pass by"

Xiao Er hurriedly and politely stopped a few people who wanted white food.

"Look at a few masters, our shop is a small profit, today I met a few masters ordered a table of good wine and good food, it must be a business to make a fortune, you are not like a master who does not give money for dinner, a few masters don't tease the villain, you see how many masters can appreciate the face to see if you can squeeze out a little rich silver from your rich hands to reward the small, the small one for you"

Dian Xiaoer is a smart person, after all, in the huge Chang'an City, you know who is the emperor's relatives, as long as you say the wrong word, it is the sin of killing the head, the shop Xiaoer is cautious, and the words he says are also beautiful, and there is nothing wrong, if he meets a reasonable person, he will definitely pay for the meal, but he met a broken skin scoundrel today.

"Xiao Er can speak, I like to listen to it, but it doesn't matter if it's good, write down this account first, and I'll give it to you next time, and I'll give you some reward."

Saying that, these people were about to leave, Xiao Er stopped again, and before he could say anything, the leader slapped him in the face.

"Son dog, give you face, don't say that you don't give money to eat here, I can take whatever I want in the palace, and no one dares to say a word"

The shopkeeper was wronged and couldn't say a word, just lay on the ground and cried.

"Doctor Tian, people have also been beaten, and the anger should be gone, let's go back, this is not better than the palace, there are many people, and it will not be good if it reaches the saint."

Tian Lingzi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, snorted coldly and left the handkerchief on Xiao Er's face, and ran into the angry Fang Xingwei every few steps.

"This old man has a big temper, he must be a rich man, and he has seen a lot of rich men and old men in Chang'an City, but this rich old man who doesn't give money for meals is the first time he has seen it, not only when he sees the old man today, but also because he has to take care of it."

Although Fang Xingwei is old, he is powerful and powerful in fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and his eyes are full of murderous energy, Tian Lingzi was scared when he saw him angry, curled up in a ball, and apologized to him and used all kinds of tricks for him, but Fang Xingwei still did not give up.

"Old man, if I don't clean you up today, you won't have any memory, remember to meet me again in Chang'an City in the future, and you will avoid me."

Fang Xingwei was about to make a move, but was stopped by the owner of the wine shop.

"This master, you don't want to do it, do you know who they are? I'm just afraid not to get into trouble."

Fang Xingwei sneered: "Who do I care about him, is he even more powerful than the Japanese Kou?" I think that in Lingnan, my Tang soldiers and Silla soldiers combined were less than 10,000, but on the Japanese side, there were 70,000 people. There is such a disparity in the number of soldiers.

And the Tang soldiers I led were not timid at all, I personally commanded the advance by land and water, burned more than 400 warships of the Japanese Invaders, and beat the Japanese Invaders to flee in embarrassment.

Fang Xingwei retired from his family, and single-handedly beat these few people who didn't give money for eating, which was unanimously praised by the people of Chang'an.

The next day, Fang Xingwei came to the palace to report on his work before putting on his court clothes, led by the eunuch who led the way, and said as he walked.

"Lord Fang has not been an official in Beijing for many years, and some rules may not be known."

"Rules? What rules? Fang Xingwei asked suspiciously: "Chang'an City is still that Chang'an City, the world is still that world, it's just that the old man has added a few years, and he hasn't seen any other rules, father-in-law, what do you mean by this?" ”

The eunuch who led the way explained with a smile: "What General Fang said are all old yellow calendars, today's court is different from the past, the saint is busy with the government affairs, and he doesn't even have time to approve the chapters, let alone meet officials from other places like you, if the saint receives officials from other places every day, how can so many officials and saints in the country come over, then the saint will not do anything."

Fang Xingwei still didn't understand what the eunuch meant by leading the way, but felt that the road he took him was not leading to the Daming Palace where the saint was, but to an unknown path.

"Where is my father-in-law going with my husband? Why didn't you take the road to Daming Palace? ”

The leading eunuch explained.

"Our family hasn't finished speaking, what is General Fang anxious about, this road is indeed not the road to Daming Palace, but to the official office of Dr. Tian"

"Doctor Tian?" Fang Xingwei asked suspiciously: "The old man doesn't know him, why did my father-in-law bring me here?" No, today I have to meet the saints."

Fang Xingwei turned around and walked back, but was stopped by the father-in-law who led the way.

"You, a general from other places, are really unreasonable, others want to see the saint because they have no way, today I take you to take a shortcut, but you turn around and go."

Fang Xingwei was moved by the eunuch who led the way, and when he went to Tian Lingzi's official office, he thought in his heart that the way of the world had really changed.

That's right, the way of the world has really changed, and the rag-skinned scoundrel you beat up in the street yesterday has become the only way for you to meet the saint today.

"It's the Lingnan Jiedu envoy general?"

Fang Xing didn't want to see what kind of moth Tian Lingzi brushed, he replied without humility or arrogance: "It's this general, and I also ask Tian Gonggong to make it convenient for me to meet the saint."

Tian Lingzi looked at Fang Xingwei with wide eyes and said in surprise.

"Oh, General Fang, people say that there is no exactly the same river in the world, but Dr. Ben saw a big man who looks the same as General Fang yesterday, and beat me, if General Fang didn't tell his identity, I almost thought you were that person, you said it's funny or not."

Saying this, Tian Lingzi laughed unscrupulously, although Fang Xingwei was a general who had been through a hundred battles, killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and had seen a lot of corpses, but listening to Tian Lingzi's laughter, he still felt a chill in his back.

Fang Xingwei hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't know if Dr. Tian still has official business, please wait for me to inform the sage, saying that the Lingnan Festival has made Fang Xingwei ask to see"

As soon as the words fell, Tian Lingzi waved his hand and said: "Not busy, not busy, now the first task is to find out the person who beat me on the street yesterday, General Fang, do you know where that person is?" ”

Fang Xingwei dodged and said: "Doctor Huitian, General Ben doesn't know"

Tian Lingzi sneered: "You don't know? But I know that if I find him, I will definitely skin him, cramp his tendons, crush his bones and ashes, and behead him all over the house, do you say General Fang, what I did is right or not! ”

Fang Xingwei's heart sank for a moment and he didn't speak again.

That night, Fang Xingwei fled with his family overnight, but was stopped by Tian Lingzi's people and sent back to the post house where they lived.

For half a month, Fang Xingwei chose countless ways to escape, but he was always caught by Tian Lingzi's people and brought back to the post house.

Tian Lingzi, who had been playing the game of cat scratching rats for half a month, was also tired, so he ordered Fang Xingwei's whole family to be beheaded and not left behind.

Although Tian Lingzi mobilized the entire Jinwuwei to enclose the post house, there were also times when Fang Xingwei's eight-year-old youngest son Fang Wenkang ran away from the dog cave under the leadership of the kind-hearted post house owner.

After Fang Wenkang grew up, he came to the house of Tian Lingzi, who was already the prime minister, and started a housekeeper, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Because of his carefulness, composure and steady, he was quickly appreciated by Tian Xiang, and soon achieved the position of housekeeper.

At the time of Tian Xiang's birthday banquet, Fang Wenkang felt that the time for revenge had come.
