Chapter 286: People become old and fine
Wu Jian walked out of the main hall of Taichang Temple, looked back at this not majestic hall, and looked a little puzzled.
In the hall just now, Tai Changqing took the official doctor and the other two people, and asked Wu Yan some questions with a gentle expression. At the beginning, it was nothing more than where he was born, where his parents were, what position he went through, how he entered the Shenwu Academy, and so on.
Wu Yan clearly remembered that when he heard that he was from a cottage, the two subordinate officials on Tai Changqing's side frowned unconsciously. And this white-haired, oily Tai Changqing didn't react, still smiling silently.
It was only at the end that the old man reached out and took out a token from his sleeve and asked Wu Jian if he had ever seen this thing. When Wu Gen took it, there was a black crow logo on the token, and under the black crow were five small characters of the rebellious hall master, and Wu Gan's name was engraved on the back.
Wu Yan took a look, couldn't help laughing, and didn't explain, but said that if necessary, he could order one hundred and eighty such objects, and if Tai Changqing liked it, he could also send one.
Tai Changqing raised his head and laughed, and pointed at Wu Jian again and again. It's just that the ceremonial doctor next to him was a little dissatisfied, pointing out why the token was found in the residence of Wu Yan of the Shenwu Academy, and how to explain it.
Wu Yan was a little dazed when he heard it at first, but he suddenly realized that he had lived in the valley since he came back, and he forgot that he still had a dormitory in the Shenwu Academy. I had to explain that I hadn't lived there for many years, so I had to ask Fang Cheng, a later student.
Soon, after the three of them finished questioning, they asked Wu Gen to sign and postpone him before allowing him to leave. When he got out of the main hall, Wu Yan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this inquiry was a little too sloppy, so it was over, headless and brainless.
Just as he was about to leave Taichang Temple, a younger official stopped Wu Gan and bluntly said that Taichang Qing was invited.
As the others arrived at a separate room, the old man was sitting on the kang drinking hot tea. With each sip, the eyebrows are tightly pressed together, and it looks like drinking.
"Sit. Don't be restrained." When the old man saw Wu Yan coming in, he greeted him warmly.
Wu Yan hurriedly sat on the edge of the kang with his body bowed, knowing that the meat drama was coming, and the process was a process, so he had to get to the point.
"I don't know what the adults are looking for." Wu asked with a smile.
"Okay, old boy, let me take care of you." The old man went straight to the point, which made Wu Gan's nervous mind relax all of a sudden, and there was a national teacher to greet him, this is his own person.
"But I didn't say yes." The next sentence almost choked Wu Gan, who had just sat up straight.
"The old man's name is Li Zhenglu, at this time, you and me, if you are happy, you will call it an official name, and if you are not happy, you will call Lao Li Yecheng. If I don't bow you when you just came in, I will cure you for the sin of despising your nobles." Li Zhenglu put down the teacup in his hand, his face was still full of smiles, but there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.
"My lord, please give me advice." Wu Jian stood up and bowed, but he didn't care about sitting on the edge of the kang. Nonsense, scare children, in this place where you know and me, if the punishment had been taken down a long time ago.
"I summoned you today because of the canonization of nobles, and Rong Kui also looked for me, but I didn't agree." Li Zhenglu helped his somewhat fat belly and looked directly at Wu Gan.
Wu Yan was speechless, this old man can say it directly, is this wave the rhythm of slapping people to death.
"My lord, please tell me if you have anything." Wu Gen's expression was calm, and he also looked directly at the other party, without giving in.
"Hehe, I'm a little bold, no wonder Zhu Buzhan fell in love with you. It's just that some of them are too aggressive, young people, and it's good to be sleek." Li Zhenglu shook his head with a smile.
"I'll tell you the truth, no matter who comes up, as long as the emperor doesn't nod, the old man will treat him as a fart. What about the eldest princess, what about the national teacher, jumping happily one by one, but I don't know that in the eyes of the emperor, it is like a child frolicking." The smile on Li Zhenglu's face was still the same, even more kind, but his tone was like a blade, a little more aggressive.
One hand slapped heavily on the table, and a powerful aura spread out.
Wu Yan nodded, the old man can be an official for so many years, and he is in charge of the promotion of nobles other than the surname Zhao, how can he do it without two brushes. After thinking about it, he looked around and saw that there was no one, and habitually groped around again. Today
I thought it was a normal inquiry, but I didn't bring anything good with me.
Li Zhenglu is a little strange, he has practiced a secret method, he has been cultivating his qi for a long time, and he has been an official for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of power, after this action, ordinary people may have been frightened and knelt on the ground, even if the nobles are here, I am afraid they will not be able to support this might.
But the kid in front of him was like a nobody, and he groped around with his body, and it took a long time to take out a black stone the size of a chess piece, and handed it to himself with a smile.
It's just that he didn't expect that when Wu Gan was in the Great Relic Continent, he had seen many majestic and powerful people, and this might was almost better than nothing for him.
"Bold, you dare to bribe an official of the imperial court in person, you can't think of going to prison." Li Zhenglu was really a little crying and laughing, and finally understood why he wanted to let himself teach a good lesson to this leather monkey. That's right, the original word of Jian Xing is a leather monkey.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly stuffed the stone back into his sleeve, originally thinking that the old man was beating and pulling, hinting at himself, but he didn't expect that he would be wrong.
"My lord, this thing is worthless." Wu Gan tried to defend himself.
Alas, Li Zhenglu sighed, his body was full of momentum, and he said helplessly: "There is no one here, I will ask you again, Rong Xi died because of you."
Wu Yan waved his hand, with a look of disdain, "Don't listen to rumors, my lord, that Rong Xi was killed by Xueyong, everyone saw it, and Zhang Changshi was also on the spot, how could you put this pot on my head."
"Some people say that you once hunted down and killed Rong Xi when you were in the Great Relic Continent, so what's the explanation." Li Zhenglu then asked, staring at Wu Geng's eyes, as if he wanted to see something.
"But Zhao Ling said it." Wu Gan's face showed anger, "I just offended her, why did you slander me so much. I also said that her subordinate Li Yi betrayed the master and tried to murder Rong Xi, and he was saved by me."
Wu Jian is naturally not afraid of this kind of thing, unless Qi He and the others who came out with him betrayed, they can't say whatever they want.
"What grievances do you have with Zhao Ling?" Li Zhenglu was noncommittal.
Wu Yan hesitated for a moment, "She once robbed me of the recipe of Bai Yushu, and also accused me of witchcraft, and repeatedly sent people to hunt down and kill." Speaking of this, Wu Yan lowered his voice, "I believe that the adults have also heard about the matter of King Jinchun, and the emperor probably knows it, but it is just that it is difficult to deal with it because of the situation.
My lord, can you believe the words of such a person, can you listen to them? Your Excellency has been serving the Emperor for a long time, and you should understand Your Majesty's intentions."
"Hahaha." Zhao Zhenglu laughed, "Wu Gan, you are not very old, but you are very good at figuring out people's hearts. Zhao Ling doesn't say it, she is just a night cat wandering around, and she doesn't have to be afraid of it, but her ability to muddy the water is first-class.
Having said that, the emperor's family affairs are also state affairs, and with that good wife here, Rong Kui is very confident. Rong Kui is a person from a humble background, and he has come all the way to his current position, which is also his ability. It's just that after he stepped into a high position, he became a different person, believing in his relatives and respect, and repeatedly had conflicts with Zhu Buzhan, and I suspect that Zhu Buzhan was also degraded back then.
This person has been operating in officialdom for many years and has attracted a group of people, if he is a hindrance, it will be difficult for you to say that you are a nobleman. Alright, that's all for today's inquiry.
Go back and tell that old man that I will do my best if I can, and he won't have to go to my house often to eat. Wu Gan, witchcraft is a taboo in the royal family, whether it can be tampered with this reputation or not. The capital is muddy, so let's do it for ourselves."
As he spoke, Li Zhenglu picked up the teacup.
Wu Gen finally understood what Li Zhenglu meant by calling himself in, that is, to let himself beware of Rong Kui, and Zhao Ling didn't have to care too much about it.
Standing up and bowing respectfully, Wu Jian was ready to leave. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly saw that his tea cup had not moved, so he stepped forward and drank the tea in the cup, and then strode out of the house.
Looking at the tea cup on the table, Li Zhenglu suddenly smiled and shook his head slightly. This kid is still a little tender, I don't know if this thorn is useless, it's better than nothing.
Wu Gen walked out of Taichang Temple, and as soon as his mind was gone, he relaxed a lot. Thinking that he hadn't really walked around the capital yet, he went back and talked to Old Man Qi and walked around.
Walking to the west market in the city, it is very lively
。 Wu Gen walked around the street, while buying a bunch of snacks along the way, in Zhu Buzhan's house in the past two days, except for the first day, the three meals a day were a little light, which made Wu Gen quite uncomfortable.
This street belongs to the lower market, which is the lowest market in the western market. Most of the people on the street are setting up stalls, and there are very few nobles here on weekdays, so you don't have to worry about who you bump into. Otherwise, when a group of nobles comes, everyone will give gifts and avoid them, and the business will not be done.
As he was walking and eating a bag of beef, there was a commotion on the road ahead, and soon four burly men in gray clothes came over, followed by a boy about ten years old.
The young man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed in white, with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and no crown on his head, frowning as he walked. There were also two young women dressed as maids beside him, wiping the sweat of the young man from time to time.
Every time the boy stopped in front of a stall, the four men stood in four corners, not allowing others to approach. This street and alley are close to the river, and it is already very narrow, and almost no one can pass through these four people at such a stop. As a result, the flow of people is blocked and unable to move.
It's not that no one scolds out loud, and at this time, a long-faced man among the four people makes a crisp pimple sound in his mouth. The person who drank and scolded was like being struck by lightning, and squatted on the ground with his head in pain, and it took half a day to rest.
Some people wanted to do it, but when they saw the gloomy eyes of the four men, they were scared and shivered.
Wu Yan looked at it and simply stood by the river. People who dare to behave like this in the capital are not ordinary people. Isn't there a saying in the capital, throwing a brick from the building on both sides of the road, one of the ten people who was stoned to death must be an official.
Wu Gen didn't have any ideas for coming out, just after Li Taichang's beating, the capital was muddy, and our water was not good, so we didn't dare to charge a big head here.
was impartial, the young man stopped in front of the sugar man stall in front of Wu Gan, and looked at the lifelike sugar man in front of him with interest.
Suddenly, a young man, escorted by a servant, came ashore from a pleasure boat in the middle of the river, hurried through the crowd, and walked to the young man's side. This person should know this young man, and the four men only briefly interrogated him, and then let him go.
When he got to the boy's side, the man gave a deep bow and started talking to the boy with a smile on his face.
When this person came ashore, the crowd was crowded, and Wu Gan was almost pushed into the river. I can only step on the river embankment with half a foot and eat the beef in my hand.
When he saw the young man's face clearly, Wu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, how could this person be so familiar, thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the third son of Qin Guan Qin, the one who tried to draw on Zhu Qian when he was in Dingyuan City. Blood Yong was once a subordinate of this person, but he didn't expect to meet here today.
As soon as Qin Guan appeared, the silver crown on his head immediately attracted everyone's attention, this is a nobleman. Suddenly, the people on the street bowed their heads and saluted. In this way, Wu Gan, who was dangling by the river, was revealed.
Wu Gen looked left and right, and when he was thinking about where to go, Qin Guan got up and invited the young man to come on the boat, and saw Wu Gen who "stood out from the crowd" at a glance.
His face changed abruptly, and he shouted angrily: "Bold ***, why don't you kneel when you see the prince."
