Recently a company of silk merchants had arrived at the east gate, and their registered personnel were thirty-four, and this was the only group of guards who did not carefully check it. ”

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there are a lot of merchants, the city gate guards are naturally impossible to check one by one, generally encounter a merchant document, after counting the number of people, they will be released immediately.

"Moreover, the subordinates observed that during this period, they only had a total of thirty-three people, one less than the one on the paper." The black-clothed guard had cold eyes.

The leader said coldly: "Just catch it and ask for clarification." ”

The group of merchants was in the west of the city in the afternoon, and they noticed a woman among the merchants with a white flower on her head and a sad expression.

"On the way to Chang'an, this woman's related to the disease died. In other words, her father-in-law did not follow her into the city at all. ”

Now, there's no greasy.

wanted to get into the trick of the merchants and going out of the city, but Zong Chuke used it in order to save his only son.

"What to do? Do you want to tell the adults? ”

The black-clothed leader's eyes were gloomy, "Ask first." ”

The woman was already frightened, surrounded by three or five masked men around, and immediately said everything, the man who mixed up in the business under the name of the caravan was just a stranger that their caravan met outside the city, and the stranger begged the leader of the caravan to take him into the city, and this was the rest of the matter.

When the killers told Zong Chuke everything, Zong Chuke's reaction was still cold.

At the beginning, the killer only took the portrait of Fan Wenjun, and it is very likely that they killed the wrong person.

If it's really the killer who killed the wrong person, then it can be explained.

"My lord, we let the killer destroy Fan Wenjun's face in the first place, just in case someone knows him, but what if it's really a mistake?"

Now there is no proof of death, and even the killer who was on the mission should not be able to remember exactly what he looked like.

And the most troublesome thing is that they ordered the corpse's face to be destroyed, and now even they themselves can't be sure.

Zong Chuke was cold: "Pei Tan is taking advantage of your heart. ”

The leader couldn't help but say, "My lord, today we were on the street, and we also met people from the Liu family, and they were also following that 'Fan Wenjun'. "Not only that, but the people of the Liu family also found that merchant.

"So what?" Zong Chuke was indifferent.

The leader stopped, and fell silently to his knees.

"The 10,000 taels of his Liu family are only enough to buy his champion, not enough for the official to bow down to his words."

The Liu family thought that by leaning on the big tree of Wei, they could casually instruct Shangshu Mansion, but they didn't expect that Zong Chuke would also only treat them as Wei's dogs.

The Liu family really couldn't sit still, they were annoyed by Zong Chuke's inaction, as the time of the palace test got closer, the more they couldn't hold their breath, seeing that the champion was at their fingertips, who was willing to let the meat in their mouths fly at this time.

The Liu family decided to take matters into their own hands.

"Prepare the car, this son will personally visit the prime minister."

Now the only one who can take care of this matter is Wei Xiang. The Liu family promised a lot of money in exchange for a seat in the court, but they didn't believe that at this time, the Wei family would not care.

Liu Pinzhuo got in the car and typed the draft along the way, Zong Chuke because of his hatred of Pei Tan, but he wanted to affect him Liu Shi also suffered, this old horseman is really old and confused.

After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Pinzhuo never expected that he was stopped at the door.

"The Prime Minister is meeting guests, please wait a moment." The servant of the Prime Minister at the door said politely but detachedly.

Liu Pinzhuo glared: "Tell Xiangye that I have something important to report." ”

Liu Pinzhuo directly stuffed a gold ingot into the servant's hand.

The servant's face was embarrassed: "This, it's not good, Liu Gongzi." ”

Liu Pinzhuo's face was calm: "You just have to pass the word on behalf of my son, will the prime minister not see me?" ”

The servant glanced at him, and the face of this descendant of the Liu family was already a little ugly.

Think about the fact that Zhang Bang won the championship not long ago, and the streets were praising this Liu Gongzi for being as gentle as jade and talented as the sky, and then look at the current appearance, tsk.

But the servant put the gold in his sleeve, and was ready to go in and make the ceremony.

Just then, out of the corner of the servant's eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure coming out of the courtyard and coming to the door.

The servant's face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Pei Gongzi, are you coming out?" ”

Liu Pinzhuo's eyes almost popped out.

Just watched Pei Tan walk slowly, from the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, slowly walked to the door, Pei Tan saw Liu Pinzhuo, and only bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. "Young Master Liu."

Although Liu Pinzhuo has now topped the list and is famous in Chang'an, he has no official status after all, and his identity is at most the son of the Liu family, and he is in front of Pei Tan... Of course, it's more than that.

Liu Pinzhuo's eyes could breathe fire, and he couldn't help but say in a weird way: "Why did Pei Siqing come here?" ”

This is crowded, as if no one else in the world can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion except for his Liu family.

Pei Tan said: "Some small things, discuss them with Wei Xiang." ”

How could Liu Pinzhuo be willing to believe that it was a trivial matter, he stared at Pei Tan, wanting to see something from that face.

"Master Pei is in charge of Dali Temple, how can there be something that needs to be asked by the Prime Minister?" Liu Pinzhuo raised his voice.

This is changed to other third-grade masters, and it can have long been able to change color.

It's just a cloth cloth who has just taken the exam, and he dares to be so presumptuous.

Pei Tan stared at Liu Pinzhuo for a while, "Liu Gongzi can go and ask Wei Xiang, Pei still has something, so he will leave first." ”

As he spoke, he passed him directly and walked to a carriage parked by the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If Liu Pinzhuo had paid a little attention just now, he would have seen this carriage there, and then judged that someone had already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit.

But his eyes are fixed on himself, so naturally he won't pay attention to others.

Pei Tan got into the carriage, driving his own cold-faced Pei County guards, Pei County waited for Pei Tan to sit down, then raised the horsewhip, loosened the reins, and the carriage flew away.

"Young Master Liu, are you still going in?" The servant at the door asked pleasantly.

These servants are all rudder when they see the wind, and they are very quick when they see the opportunity, and they have won a lot of gold in vain, and their hearts have long been happy.

Liu Pinzhuo's sensitive nerves had long been provoked, and in his opinion, Pei Tan was ridiculing him by asking Wei Xuanzhen what he said.

Liu Pinzhuo pushed the servant away and stepped into the prime minister's mansion.

Wei Xuanzhen was sitting idly in the courtyard, with two or three beautiful maids beside her, and there was wine in front of her.

Liu Pinzhuo walked to the side and found that Wei Xuanzhen didn't look at him much, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his chest.

"Lord Wei Xiang."

Wei Xuanzhen took the sake from the beautiful maid's hand, "What's the matter with Young Master Liu?" ”

Liu Pinzhuo trembled a little, "Xiangye, why did the plague god of the Pei family come to you just now?" ”

Wei Xuanzhen paused for the wine glass in his hand, glanced at Liu Pinzhuo, and suddenly squinted his eyes: "Liu Gongzi, Master Pei is a member of the Tang Dynasty's three products, and the official worships Zhengqing of Dali Temple, you actually call him so, who did Liu Gongzi listen to?" ”

Liu Pinzhuo's face turned ugly. His face changed.

"Prime Minister, I..."

Wei Xuanzhen stopped him from talking, there was no one else in this courtyard except him and Meiwen, so Liu Pinzhuo thought that he could be presumptuous.

When he said that just now, he didn't realize that he was going to lose his head.

Wei Xuanzhen said slowly: "Liu Gongzi was born in a scholar clan like the Liu family, if you have anything, you should seek help from the family first, you ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion so recklessly, and bumped into the court officials at the door, did Liu Gongzi ever care about your identity and what will be the consequences?" ”

Liu Pinzhuo was almost stunned, and the breath in his chest seemed to be sucked away, and he suddenly trembled.

The whole Chang'an now knows that the Liu family is the leader, and at this time, Liu Pinzhuo came to Wei Xuanzhen alone, it was like an effortless self-slap in the face, but he ignored the words of the servant at the door, and after meeting Pei Tan, he had to break in.

"But Lord Prime Minister, there is a person named Fan on the street of Dongxiang..."

Wei Xuanzhen said mercilessly and coldly: "Young Master Liu, the prime minister said that you were confused, but I didn't expect you to be really confused." ”

Liu Pinzhuo's whole face was wooden.

Wei Xuanzhen's eyes sneered, since the restoration of His Majesty Zhongzong, the Wei family has been in the sky, not only the Liu family, the Wang clan that once covered the sky with one hand has been suppressed and cannot raise their heads, they finally understand that only by clinging to the tree of the Liu family can it be possible to keep the family standing.

Among them, only Pei's is not included.

The Pei family has been noble for five generations, and even Wei Xuanzhen is unwilling to offend openly, this Liu family is really a stupid person.
