Chapter 381: Behind Closed Doors
"Thank you Brother Luo, along the way, I promise to listen to you and not cause trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" In the camp of the Hedong thief army outside the city, Qin Shixin said to Luo Shiji while packing up the saddle, although he was short-tempered, he also knew the severity, and he was afraid that he would not know how to control his emotions, and he did not forget to tell Luo Shiji a few words before leaving, "If Brother Luo sees me about to lose his temper, just scold, my old Qin will definitely not complain about Brother Luo." ”
Luo Shiji was still frowning at this time, he was not as rude as Qin Shixin, from the clues at the moment, he had faintly noticed that the court's attitude towards Zhang Guo seemed to have undergone a subtle change, thinking that this task of asking for food would definitely not be successfully completed, I hope that the old man in Beijing can contribute a little!
"Hey." Luo Shiji sighed, if the princes in the court were willing to use this idea of fighting for power and profit to govern the world, why would so many thieves emerge? He turned his head to look at Qin Shixin, "Brother Qin, you and I have followed adults for many years, so I will say some things directly." ”
"Brother Luo, just say it, I, Lao Qin, am not a stingy person!" Qin Shixin patted his chest and assured that he had always admired this thoughtful brother very much.
"Although there are many reckless people all the way to the capital, it is nothing compared to the sinister in the capital! When you enter the capital, you can't drink, you can't leave my side, if I go out to do something, you just stay in the inn, don't go out and wander around. He knew that Qin Shixin was jealous and hateful by nature, and he knew very well the evil virtues of those officials in Beijing, if he was released, he would accidentally offend the big family and cause trouble for the adults.
"It's... I haven't been to the capital yet, I finally went to the capital this time, and you still won't let me go shopping......" Seeing that Luo Shiji had a cold face, Qin Shixin's voice gradually lowered, "Okay, let's promise Brother Luo, I promise not to cause trouble for you." ”
"Okay, when this matter is done, I'll go to Chunhelou and invite you to drink!" Seeing him say this, Luo Shiji breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
Leaning slightly, the two of them packed up and rushed to the capital with a few personal soldiers, along the way you can see ragged homeless people, unscrupulous monks, and businessmen who take the opportunity to buy and sell people, Qin Shixin wanted to go crazy several times, but was stopped by Luo Shiji with a major event.
After running for several days in the morning and at night, everyone finally saw the city wall of the capital, "Haha, this is the capital!" It's fucking big! Qin Shixin shouted happily, the last time King Qin was still a few miles outside the capital, they were sent to Hedong by the Ministry of War, and Zhang Guo did not bring Qin Shixin when he entered the city, and this was the first time he had seen the capital.
Qin Shixin had completed the task of guarding at this time, but Luo Shiji's characters had just begun, and he knew that these officials in the capital were much more difficult to deal with than the bandits and bandits he encountered along the way.
After everyone followed into the city, Luo Shiji found a remote inn to settle them down according to his memories when he first entered Beijing to take the exam, and on the day he washed up, he planned to take Zhang Guo's old letter to the same year to ask for news, and naturally asked Qin Shixin before leaving.
Changing into clean clothes, Luo Shiji called a carriage and found the first target - the house of Ren Jingsi, the head of the Ministry of War, this Jingsi and Zhang Guo were Jinshi in the same year, and they served in the Ministry of War, so Luo Shiji took him as the first object of visit, and only by understanding the reason for the matter could he find a way to solve it.
"Please let me know, my family is a friend of Lord Ren in the same year, and I was sent to Beijing to visit, and I hope you have a convenient personality." Luo Shiji came to the concierge to hand over the post, and stuffed a piece of broken silver into his hand.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll go and see if my lord is in the house." Seeing that he had an extraordinary appearance, the porter didn't dare to make things difficult, so he immediately went to the house and left Luo Shiji in the gatehouse.
After about a quarter of an hour's effort, the disciple came back slowly, but his face changed, and he said with a cold face, "Let Mr. run in vain, my family is on an errand in the ministry, but he hasn't come back yet." ”
"Then dare to ask when your lord will come back? Come back next time? Luo Shiji didn't expect that he would be taken on a closed door for the first time, so he sighed in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"My family has a lot of opportunities, if you are busy for ten days and half a month and do not return home, it is common for me to ask more?" Menzi didn't speak anymore after speaking, and drove Luo Shiji out of the gatehouse.
Luo Shiji hesitated at the door for a moment, and could only leave unwillingly, Menzi saw this and hurriedly reported the news to Ren Jingsi, who was hiding in the mansion, Ren Jingsi nodded and waved his hand to let him retreat.
"Master, this Lord Zhang was also a close friend with you back then, and now he has sent people to Beijing, why haven't you even seen each other?" Mrs. Ren asked puzzled.
"What do you know as a woman?" Ren Jingsi said impatiently, "Zhang Guo has recently provoked Yuan Taiwei and Wang Shangshu, how dare I see his personal entourage?" ”
What's more, although Ren Jingsi and Zhang Guo were Jinshi in the same year, many years have passed, Ren Jingsi is still the head of the military department of the sixth grade, but Zhang Guo is already the prefect of the fourth grade, and this time he has made a new great contribution, and if he returns to Beijing, he will be reused; Ren Jingsi was inevitably jealous in his heart, and now he heard that Zhang Guo had caused Yuan Rukui and Wang Jihe's unhappiness, although it was inconvenient to fall into the well, but he didn't want him to contribute half of his efforts to Zhang Guo.
Coming out of Ren Jingsi's mansion, Luo Shiji didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately called another carriage and went to the mansion of the second official on the letter.
After a whole day's work, Luo Shiji ran around in Beijing, visiting the mansions of five or six officials one after another, but the results were all ordinary treatment, he had not even seen anyone's face, so his heart became more and more uneasy, what happened in Beijing? Why do these people avoid themselves?
Back in the inn, Luo Shiji closed the door and thought hard, looked at the few letters left, and found one from them, before coming to the capital, he had decided that he would never use this letter unless it was a last resort, but at this time, he couldn't care about it so much.
On the afternoon of the second day, Luo Shiji got out of the carriage again and came to the door of a mansion to hand over a letter of worship, "I'm tired of informing Lord Qiu, Lord Zhang Guozhang, the ambassador of the four provinces of Hedong to fight thieves, sent me to visit!"
