The people who went to Weinan in Shaanxi came back and brought Chen Kuiyuan with them. Bumps along the way and abuse, Chen Kuiyuan has long been out of appearance, and he is seriously ill and dying. Pan Guohong personally interrogated but could not, so angry that he beat the people sent to each of them with 20 boards. Fortunately, I had already asked for a confession, and I was able to confess to Cao Shu.

When he handed over the confession to Cao Shu, Pan Guohong was terrified. Cao Shu looked at it carefully, didn't look at him and asked, "What about Chen Kuiyuan?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Cao Shu raised his head and looked at him.

Pan Guohong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "I was seriously ill on the road, and I couldn't speak. It's all to blame for the incompetence of my subordinates, and I have taught them a lesson.".

Cao Shu threw the confession on the table, lost his temper and scolded: "What are you eating? Are you on your first day? Look at what it is, you only know that it is two cripples, don't say the name, you don't know if it's deaf, lame, or blind, it's the same as not saying it! Where to find it?'.

"It's a subordinate who should be damned! I didn't expect him to be so weak, he mainly sent money to Peng Lu's relatives, and he didn't know much about Jiaoling Sanyi, so much more.", Pan Guohong believes in the ability of his subordinates, and only blames himself for not explaining clearly, people must bring it well, and those who do things think that they can have a confession, and it is too late to regret it.

"It's because you didn't pay attention to it at all, Liang Ji is a cripple, and Peng Ji is still stirring up the storm, so they can't find a capable person and push him up to fight against the old man?"

When Pan Guohong heard it, it was really like this. He was not allowed to think about it, "Is there such a new official in the capital?", Cao Shu began his question, and there was no doubt about it.

Pan Guohong's mind flashed, and he didn't make a serious analysis, "This time, most of the three Jinshi are nerds, and those who have the ability are all in Jiangnan, and there are no ones in Shaanxi, Shanxi.".

Cao Shu snorted, sneered and said: "It's not that there is a Xuanfu, both civil and military, and you still help him stay in the capital?".

A name popped up in Pan Guohong's mind, "The master is talking about Tang Tong, the commander of Xidingmen?".

"Aren't you stupid? Check it out and see if there is anyone like that around him!".

Pan Guohong woke up like a dream, and hurriedly responded: "I'll handle this matter as soon as possible, the master will wait!", stood up after speaking, regardless of the dust on his clothes, turned around and left.

Pan Guohong came to the future, but Lan Tingmei came to the door. It was useless for Tang Tong to hide in the barracks, there was no one in the military camp in the capital who didn't know Miss Lan Er, and when he appeared directly in the Yamen of the Xidingmen Barracks, Tang Tong had no choice but to invite him enthusiastically, "Why is Miss Lan Er here, please sit!", Lan Tingmei was not polite, and sat down in front of Tang Tong silently.

Lan Tingshu's marriage is already known to the whole city, and Lan Tingmei's purpose here is self-evident. Seeing that she was worried, Tang Tong asked with a smiling face, "Miss Lan Er, is there something wrong?".

Lan Tingmei didn't hide her thoughts at this time, and said cheerfully, "It's not for my brother's business, aren't I in a hurry?" Do you have a good idea?".

Tang Tong originally wanted to hide from the leisure, but replied very simply, "We are both small people to King Yu, as long as we do our best and have a clear conscience!".

Lan Tingmei was a little angry when she heard this, although Tang Tong said the truth, but she complained from the bottom of her heart about Tang Tong's inaction. So he scolded loudly: "Can you stand up and cheer for Sister Xia.".

Tang Tong opened his hands and said helplessly: "After all, it's not very convenient, and besides, the Xia Mansion has sent someone to warn, and I can't do it.", he shook his head as he spoke, very embarrassed.

Lan Tingmena knew this, and it seemed that she was wrong to blame him, so she didn't mention it anymore." It's not even easy to see Sister Xia now, think about her situation, I'm really worried about her.".

"As long as your brother becomes a relative, we will see each other at that time, so there is no need to rush this time.".

Lan Tingmei glared at him when she heard this, and Tang Tong could only smile knowingly. The two of them had no more topics, and Lan Tingmei was in a bad mood, so she ignored Tang Tong for a while and left alone.

On this day, Tang Tong was working in Yamen, and when he heard that someone had come to report that Pan Guohong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was coming, Tang Tong hurried to greet him. Seeing Pan Guohong waving his hand, "Xiaguan meets Master Shangshu Pan!".

Pan Guohong naturally looked down on Tang Tong, much lower than himself, he was a fourth-grade, and he was a martial artist, if it weren't for Cao Shu and Xia Zhan insisting on coming by themselves, they really didn't want to stir up this troubled water. nodded reluctantly, "Lord Tang doesn't have to be polite!" I was just passing by, and I remembered that I had met before, so I came to bother!", he said, looking around.

"I can be remembered by Lord Pan, Xia Guan is really a blessing!", Tang Tong smiled and stretched out his hand, "Lord Pan, please!", his attitude was very flattering, and his body was very low.

Pan Guohong was very satisfied, and walked towards the yamen proudly, his head still kept looking around, and he didn't care when he walked, and he didn't care if Tang Tong kept up or not.

When he arrived in the inner court, Tang Tong respectfully asked Pan Guohong to sit down, and of course the self-righteous Pan Guohong was not polite, and after sitting down, he stilted his feet and his attitude was very arrogant. Tang Tong didn't think so, and still accompanied the smiling face.

After serving tea and taking a few sips, Pan Guohong said lightly to Tang Tong, who was still standing: "Lord Tang sit!", and his eyes did not look at Tang Tong when he spoke.

Tang Tong bowed down and thanked, "Lord Xie!", sat opposite Pan Guohong very respectfully, didn't even dare to serve the teacup, and looked straight at him. Pan Guohong glanced at him, this person is nothing more than that.

Pan Guohong just wanted to hang Tang Tong's taste, and after a long silence, Pan Guohong said very reluctantly: "If Lord Tang can sit in today's position, he should know whose promotion he has?".

That knew that Tang Tong was a little wooden at this time, and it took a long time to say a sentence, "I know!".

Pan Guohong looked at him with a teacup, meaning to say that he would continue. But Tang Tong also looked at him, looking incomprehensible, looking at each other for a long time, Tang Tong felt uncomfortable. His eyes went down to avoid Pan Guohong's gaze, still not understanding, and he didn't speak.

Pan Guohong was a little annoyed and asked rhetorically, "What do you know?".

Tang Tong rolled his eyes and said cautiously: "Naturally, it's Xia Xiangye, if it weren't for Miss Xia, how could a petty official like me talk to Xia Shangshu.", the words were helpless, but I was satisfied.

I don't want Tang Tong to be an understanding person, and I can't look down on it at all, let alone Xia Zhan. But if he let his subordinates recruit him, it will disappoint Tang Tong. Pan Guohong had some balance in his heart at this time, and he still didn't lower his body and said: "It's good to find me in the future, and you can mention my name in front of people.", he shook his neck as he spoke, a little impatient.

This is a blatant solicitation, how can Tang Tong not understand it. Hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Thank you Pan Shangshu!" It's just that Miss Xia is kind to me, and out of politeness, I learned that it would be called.".

Pan Guohong became angry when he heard this, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he mentioned the eldest lady of the Xia family, and he didn't dare to say it too harshly. With a flick of his right hand, he said, "If you know who you are, I'll say it!".

At this juncture, if you don't know how to be interested, you will invite trouble. Tang Tong bowed down slightly, and said in a loud voice: "I will definitely take Pan Shangshu as the head of the horse, and I will never break my word!"

Pan Guohong wanted this sentence, and his heart was a little fluttering, "In the future, Lord Tang will be on the rise, but he still has to understand the general situation, and the rules are required.", he glanced at Tang Tong as he said to see how he reacted.

Tang Tong hesitated for a moment, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Pan Guohong, and said respectfully: "This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope Pan Shangshu will not dislike it.'.

Pan Guohong glanced at it and saw that it was two thousand taels of silver tickets, no more, no less, no more and no less, it was difficult to say anything, and put it in his sleeve. Qi Yu Xuanang said: "I will announce you if there is something, and you can also go to my mansion.", Tang Tong kept nodding, Pan Guohong didn't look at him at all.

"I heard that your master is very talented, why haven't you seen him?", this is the purpose of Pan Guohong's trip.

Tang Tong hesitated for a moment, "He's next door, I'm going to call him?", seeing that Pan Guohong didn't squeak, he turned around and walked to the next room, and after a while, he came in with Mao Zongxie.

Mao Zongxie bowed deeply, "The grass people have seen Master Pan!".

Pan Guohong took a closer look and didn't find anything abnormal, but he was still not reassured." What's your last name?".

"In the Xia Mao Zongxie, fortunately, Lord Tang did not give up and became a staff member.".

Pan Guohong was not staring at him, "I heard that the literary talent is extraordinary, why don't you take the road of the imperial examination.".

Mao Zongxie shuddered slightly, as if he knew why he asked. I am good at reciting poems and writing articles, especially in the exam, just a showman, I have taken the exam several times and have fallen to Sun Shan, and I swear not to take the test again.".

Pan Guohong didn't seem to believe it, "You can't have anything wrong with your body, right?".

Mao Zongxie shook his head again and again, stretched out his hands, and took turns stepping with his feet, "My lord!" Do you see something wrong?".

Pan Guohong just smiled, and Tang Tong, who was on the side, laughed loudly and said: "Brother Mao just doesn't want to be an official, he is tired of flattery, and thinks that this hurts the bones of scholars!".

Pan Guohong believed this a little, "Then you should be a hermit, why did you appear in the place of the meeting in the capital?".

"Is it that people always have to eat? Besides, it's better to be a big hidden in the land of the stormy world?", Mao Zongxie straightened his waist, without the humility just now, and with the spirit of a literati.

Pan Guohong believed it now, "What a big hidden!" I hope to see Mr.'s strange plan.", after speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, seemingly wanting to leave. Mao Zongxie saluted knowingly and withdrew.

Tang Tong saw it and hurriedly complimented: "It's lunchtime, can Pan Shangshu have a meal and then leave?".

Pan Guohong hesitated, it was indeed time to eat, but he still said politely: "Don't bother, I'll go back to eat!", said Standing up to leave, his movements were very twisted.

Tang Tong followed, and further persuaded: "The nearby Huangxiang Hotel has a unique taste, the charm of the proprietress still exists, and it has some reputation in my area, since it is a pity not to go.", the provocative meaning is overflowing, just see what the reaction is.

Pan Guohong's wine and beauty are his love, and he was moved when he heard it. But still reluctantly said: "Is this good? Pay attention to the impact!", said with his hand to point Tang Tong, very serious.

Tang Tong retreated and accompanied the smiling face, "Only you and me, no one will know, and besides, Pan Shangshu is a righteous gentleman, how can he be bewitched by it.", he smiled cheerfully as he spoke.

Pan Guohong couldn't bear it in his heart for a long time, so he pretended to have to say: "Then go and see, if it doesn't work, leave!".

Tang Tong greeted him with a smile and agreed, "Listen to adults!" Just go check it out.".
