Chapter 19: The Imperial History's Interrogation
Huang Zhongtian didn't say a word, he went up and gave Niu Tielong a big mouth, Niu Tielong covered his face, quickly knelt down, and said, "Adults are angry, adults are angry." ”
"The official asked you to invite Mr. Zheng over, but you were directly knocked unconscious and tied up, it's really a mud that can't be supported, if you can't change your banditry behavior in the future, the official will let your soul fly away!"
"Yes, yes, the little one knows that he is wrong, he knows that he is wrong."
"Don't get out of here!"
Niu Tielong took his subordinates and crawled away, and before he could go out of the gate, he was stopped by Huang Zhongtian's housekeeper, and the housekeeper said: "Niu is strong and slow!" ”
He glanced back and said, "Butler, what's the matter?" ”
"Our lord has ordered, saying that when you leave, I will stop you and take you to the concierge to receive the reward."
"Bounty?" Hearing the word reward, Niu Tielong was a little blind, he had just been beaten with a big mouth, how could he get the money when he turned around?
But after thinking about it, he also understood that Lord Huang was doing it for Zheng Gan, in fact, he was very satisfied with his approach, but it was just difficult to say it in front of Zheng Gan.
Niu Tielong immediately pretended to know a long time ago, and said to the housekeeper: "Ah, Lord Huang is really polite, in fact, I have long understood what he means, as an official, it is a common thing to act on the spot, you say yes, butler." ”
The housekeeper is also a person, often helping Huang Zhongtian with errands, and the rules of human affection have long been familiar with his heart, and he can be regarded as an old oilman who has read countless people, he can see at a glance that Niu Tielong is pretending to be in front of him, but he didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile, and took him to the concierge to get the money.
After arriving at the gatehouse, Mr. Bookkeeper gave Niu Tielong 100,000 coins.
But after he came out of the porter, he said to his younger brothers: "Lord Huang will reward 50,000 yuan, I will keep 20,000 yuan for myself, and the remaining 30,000 yuan, you three will divide it equally, okay!" ”
The three people involved in this matter had no opinion, after all, they were just working along, and if there was no Niu Tielong, they would not want to earn Lord Huang's money in their lives.
"Okay, big brother, we can divide it as you say."
"Yes, we all listen to the eldest brother."
"Yes, yes, it's all up to you!"
Niu Tielong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, drink, I'll have a treat!" ”
The three little brothers happily followed Niu Tielong.
The butler saw them go and scolded in the back: "Phew, it's not a thing!" ”
Huang Zhongtian took Zheng Gan's hand and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm really sorry, my subordinates can't do things, so I'm frightened." ”
Zheng Qian rubbed his head and said, "How frightened, I almost didn't beat me to death with a stick!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"No, my lord, I don't know who you are until now."
"Yes, I haven't introduced it yet, Xia Guan is Huang Zhongtian, the imperial historian of the west patrol city of the capital city, and he has long admired Mr. Zheng Qian's name, so he specially prepared a banquet today and invited Mr. Zheng to have a drink."
Zheng Qian thought to himself, I've only been here for a few days, and some officials have invited me to drink, this is wrong!
He remembered Chen Guangzong's three words of advice, he couldn't trust anyone, and he couldn't let anyone believe it, everyone wanted to use him, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon, this Huang Zhongtian definitely didn't just invite him to drink, there must be other purposes.
Zheng Qian smiled and said to Lord Huang: "Lord Huang, the grass people died in modern times, and I don't know a lot about your etiquette at that time, so please bear with me." ”
Huang Zhongtian waved his hand and said: "How can there be, the old man has dealt with many people, and he also knows that you don't like the rules, so from now on, you will treat me here as your home, there are not so many rules, how to be comfortable." ”
"So, can the grass people take the liberty of asking you a question?"
"Yes, but, let's talk about it in the house."
After speaking, Huang Zhongtian pulled Zheng Qian into the house, Zheng Qian didn't understand wood, but looking at the workmanship of the furniture in this house, he knew that it was definitely not a bargain, and there were many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, each of which was enough for Zheng Qian to live in the underworld for one hundred and eighty years.
The food I ate was not even more said, I really responded to Mr. Storyteller's words, the beasts in the mountains, the swallows in the clouds, the cattle and sheep on the land, the fresh under the sea, the bird's nest shark fins at the back, the bear's paws and dried scallops and the tip of the deer's tail, obviously there were only two people eating, but a large table of dishes was slowly placed.
After the two of them were done, Lord Huang said: "Mr. Zheng, the old man has prepared a thin banquet, if there is no good hospitality, please forgive me!" ”
"My God, this is still a thin banquet, Lord Huang, you are too polite."
Huang Zhongtian said with a smile: "Just now, Mr. Zheng asked the old man why he invited you to drink, and the old man was born in the house of the eunuch before his death, and after a hundred years, the family got a lot of funeral goods, and went to the underworld to make dots up and down, and also became an official, so he also studied a little about the way of being an official, and invited you to come today, there is no other meaning, just want to make you a friend." ”
"Friends?" Zheng Qian nodded, and then asked, "Dare to ask Lord Huang, what kind of official position is this imperial history of patrolling the city?" ”
"Those who patrol the city and the imperial history, who are in charge of the army but do not enter the battlefield, who are in power but do not participate in the government affairs, who are in charge of the bullying and tyrannical in the imperial city, who are brutal and make trouble, as for those who burn and kill, and who are traitors and criminals, are not within my jurisdiction."
Zheng Qian was confused when he heard this, and said, "Lord Huang, please use the vernacular again." ”
"Hahahaha, good, well, the imperial history of the city patrol has soldiers in his hands, but he doesn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he turns the door to take care of those things that make trouble on the street, set up stalls and so on."
As soon as he said this, Zheng Qian understood, co-authored, he is the head of the chengguan.
That's right.,Patrol the city.,As the name suggests, it's an officer who walks around the city patrolling.。
But Zheng Qian felt that something was wrong, if it was just like this, where did he get the money to build such a good yard?
So he said, "Lord Huang, it shouldn't be just like that. ”
Huang Zhongtian nodded and said: "The old man hasn't finished talking yet, officials at all levels, if there is trouble on the street, it will also be under the control of the old man, and the officials will go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to have fun, and they will be bumped into by the old man's people, and they will also be in great trouble!" ”
I see, it seems that this Huang Zhongtian is really amazing.
Zheng Qian had to leave this place as soon as possible, and he couldn't talk to him more, otherwise he would get into a lot of trouble if he said the wrong thing, so he said straight to the point: "Lord Huang, what will happen if your people meet and go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion with adults?" ”
Huang Zhongtian glanced at him meaningfully, took a sip of wine from his wine glass, and said, "What did Mr. Zheng say?" ”
"I understand what you mean, as an official, do you naturally want to have a good relationship with the above, and the adult should be your immediate boss, you saw me coming out of the mansion with the adult, naturally you wanted to ask me what I was doing."
"Although Mr. Zheng is very smart, but this time, he really misunderstood the old man, the old man just wants to ask you, how is the complexion of the adult, and is there anything to worry about."
"Okay, okay, Lord Huang, you don't have to say more, about me, you'd better not ask more, it's really no good, there's nothing wrong with the adults, don't worry, the juniors are leaving."
As soon as Huang Zhongtian wanted to speak, Zheng Gan stood up and walked directly, he chewed Zheng Qian's words repeatedly, trying to figure out what kind of way from them, but he didn't know that Zheng Qian hadn't seen Master He at all.
After Zheng Qian went out, he went back directly to find Liu Junyue, and after seeing Liu Junyue, he said, "Sister Junyue, hello, I'm back!" ”
Liu Junyue sat behind the counter, smiled, and said to him, "How is it, the girl opposite, is it okay?" ”
"Oh, I said Sister Junyue, don't make fun of me, I already understand this, good guy, but it scared me."
As soon as the words fell, I just came back from grocery shopping in the summer, and after seeing Zheng Qian, I said: "Oh, you are in good health, you have been playing directly on the opposite side for so many days." ”
"I... Hey, I can't explain it yet, I won't tell you if I have it, go back and pack up the house and get ready to work. ”
Now the room of this tavern is Zheng Gan's home, he doesn't know if he had such a house during his lifetime, whether he has such friends, in fact, he is full of curiosity about the world, but he understands that it is even more difficult for a lonely ghost to find something in the world, so he must come to the underworld and find clues from the capital.
But until now, I haven't found any clues...
After a simple tidying up of the things in the house, Zheng Qian took a towel and went outside to solicit guests, now it was the meal, he stood at the door and shouted a few words, and many guests came to eat.
At this time, a young man named Hanako came to the door, who looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and there was a big hole in his head, which seemed to have been beaten to death before his death, and he had no money to find a soul undertaker, so he could only maintain this appearance.
He took a broken bowl, walked next to Zheng Qian, and said, "Uncle is good, reward some money, reward some money..."
Zheng Qian understands that ghosts can't starve to death at all, so there is no need for them to come out to beg.
Originally, Zheng Qian wanted to give him some, but Liu Junyue came out, and she said coldly: "If you meet this kind of person in the future, you will be beaten away." ”
"Knock it away? Why, why..."
Liu Junyue glanced at Zheng Qian and said, "Are you the boss or am I the boss?" I said hit it and hit it away! ”
Zheng Qian couldn't figure it out, so he helplessly said to the little flower child: "Did you hear it, you can go!" ”
"I'm not leaving, uncle, it's good, give a reward!"
"I said, you can go!"
"I just don't go, uncle, okay!"
Zheng Qian couldn't understand why this little Hanako took a fancy to himself? Can't you have this effort to ask someone for money?
Coupled with what Sister Junyue said, he felt that there might be a problem here, so he directly kicked the little Hanako and said, ", don't you understand people's words?" Get out of here! ”
This kick was very powerful, and directly kicked Hanako out three meters away.
Zheng Qian didn't notice that his move was seen by a girl in the crowd.
