Just ask for it, and it's easy to do.

Li Kui said with satisfaction: "Dare to ask the old man's surname? ”

"The surname is Wen, the name is meritorious. Naiwen's servant, not a great character. ”

The old man is very modest, and he can't help it. After Liu Baosheng was crowned the Grand Master, Wen Yanbo was forced to move his seat. Taishi, not only Taishi, in the Great Song Dynasty, Taishi's official position should be - Taishi Pingzhang military affairs.

What does that mean?

You can express your opinions on anything in the court, and it depends on your courtiers whether you listen or not.

That is, the meaning of the emperor's highest adviser, with a high official position and high status, that is, there is no power. Taibao also has almost the same meaning, that is, an official position to provide for meritorious veterans. This official position was strongly recommended by Sima Guang in the early years of Yuan You, and there was a seat in the previous court, and no one said anything if he didn't go to the court.

Of course, Sima Guang strongly recommended Wen Yanbo, mainly because Wen Yanbo's qualifications were too high, and although the Taishi said that he didn't care about anything, he could still get a generous salary, mainly so that Wen Yanbo would not talk nonsense.

The elders of the Four Dynasties, if they really can't get along with Sima Guang, Sima Guang will also have to sit on wax.

After being a Taishi for a few years, he chose Zhishi and only retained the virtual title of Taishi. The new monarch Zhao Xu did not treat him badly after he became in power, and gave him an official position as a crown prince. It's almost the same, and it's already a good honor for an old man like Wen Yanbo who is too old to worship the prime minister. Zhao Xu used Wen Yanbo's estimation to have the same mind as Sima Guang, and asked Wen Yanbo not to do much on weekdays, so that he, the little emperor, could not come to power.

The patriarch of the Four Dynasties, he has done the top official positions in the Great Song Dynasty, even if he is the emperor, he doesn't even dare to say a word to him.

The people of the Wen family are quite low-key in the capital. Although the Wen family and the Han family, the Bao family and other powerful people married. But Wen Yanbo has eight adult sons, and although he is deceased now, there are dozens of people in a family, close to hundreds of people, and there are always grandchildren who need to use marriage to stabilize the family's heritage. Marriage is a simple method, but it is not effective.

But it is impossible for all children and grandchildren to marry, and there are always some unsalable goods that are not chosen.

It is absolutely impossible for the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of the mansion to marry a commoner for the Luguo Mansion, which is a shame for the Mansion.

But if it's a marriage, it's impossible, and it won't marry all the powerful, right? In this case, the emperor should not be able to sleep.

As a result, such a simple and crude method of catching a golden turtle son-in-law was put into the plan of the Luguo Mansion. Of course, it is definitely not Wen Yanbo's daughter who is married, his youngest daughter is almost forty, how can she get married?

Li Kui asked: "Since it is the Luguo Mansion, dare to ask which room is the little lady?" ”

"The concubine of the eighth master." The old housekeeper Wen Ji pursed his lips, and he had a great grudge against Li Kui and the others who pretended to be the current science scholars before. If it weren't for the idlers in the capital, how would they know about the Luguo Mansion?

I don't know the Luguo Mansion, how can I ask which room? Besides, the seventh master has a prosperous official fortune, so naturally he doesn't need to use such a strategy as catching his son-in-law under the list, and the status of the eighth master at home is almost there.

Of course Li Kui has heard of Wen Yanbo, not only has he heard of it, but he also knows that this old man has a very long life, and he actually lived to be ninety-four years old, which is very rare auspicious. Even now, this one is almost ninety years old.

Since it is really a Wen family, Li Kui feels that he should help out, of course, money is more important.

Li Kui is not interested in money, but he is interested in making money by himself, and he is now enjoying this process. Otherwise, how could the big proprietor of Huitong Money Village not even let go of the small money on the gambling table?

"A thousand?"

"A thousand runs, Tong Su is not bullied."

Wen Ji felt that Li Kui's reaction was very suspicious, and this guy deliberately raised the price. However, I invited a strong man out of a thousand times, but I didn't expect there to be a helper. Li Kui said to Li Yun: "Come to business, do you want to do it?" ”

"Do!"

Li Yun's frustration dissipated a little, but he saw that the high school scholars were full of unpleasant eyes, and he didn't count his own people. As for helping people tie up tributes and earn money, Li Yun felt that it was a deserved reward. He snatched a few sacks from Wen Ji's servants, and immediately took on the role, his eyes swept across the chaotic square like an eagle falcon, and replied: "Second brother, I'll put on a sack, do you want to prepare a stick to knock me out?" ”

Li Kui didn't talk, but Wen Ji was anxious, and nervously stopped Li Yun and said: "Don't dare to hurt the nobles, you can't use the means of kidnapping tickets." Just bring someone in. ”

After speaking, he hesitated to take out some linen cloth and handed it to Li Yun: "If you really shout loudly, you will gag your mouth with linen." "Or the number of ways to tie up tickets, who asked someone to cover it with a sack and gag it with a sack?

Fan Chong was not let go, the main Li Yun did not let him go, although this is no longer popular among the scholars because of his father.

But he is a student of Tai in the capital, and among the scholars today, hundreds of them are from Taixue.

These are all students who have good knowledge in Taixue Middle School, and Fan Chong is a classmate, these people either caught up with the selection within Taixue and participated in the provincial examination of Jinke, and they are all students who are enrolled in Taixue. Or, like Su Guo, who has studied in Taixue for a few years, has fully met the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty for scholars to study in the academy for more than 300 days, and can participate in the imperial examination and participate in the government examination of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The same is true for Li Kui and Li Yun, but they went through the back door and passed the one-year study at Shouyang Academy. Of course, they did not study in the academy, but Su Shi sent a letter and asked the head of the academy to conceal it together.

It is indeed not easy to catch the tribute soldiers, or to enter the top 20 tributes, for Li Kui and Li Yun, two outsiders.

Because no one knows anyone.

But Fan Chong is different, after he came to the capital with his father, he studied in Taixue for several years. All the way from the lower to the upper.

He knows all the students of Jinke High School.

The Belt and Road Party is very hateful, which Fan Chong naturally understands, but the income distribution makes him a little reluctant.

Fan Chong asked, "How to divide the money?" ”

"The second brother is in front, so naturally we have to divide the big head, how about half?" After Li Yun finished speaking, he immediately looked at Li Kui.

Li Kui nodded, no comment.

Then Li Yun said to Fan Chong: "You recognize people, I put on a sack, maybe I have to carry people to run." You and I pay about the same, and we divide the remaining half equally. ”

"It's a pity that there are only 1,000 guan, and the average score between you and me is only two hundred and five." Since Fan Chong met Li Kui, his temperament has plummeted. He had also pit the emperor before, and now he is a fellow student, so naturally he will not have any psychological burden. Besides, it's still the Luguo Mansion to catch a son-in-law, and you can laugh secretly, right? Such a good thing, no one can be regarded as being cheated in their turn.

Fan Chong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." Can I cover my face though? ”

"Don't talk about you, Li Yun and I are both covering our faces." After Li Kui finished speaking, he took out a triangular scarf from his pocket, covered his face, and covered his chin, mouth and nose.

Li Yun also took out a strip that was almost covered with his mouth and nose, Fan Chong was dumbfounded, he didn't prepare for it.

I had to take out a clean handkerchief and dress myself up.

The three of them sneaked towards the small alley next to Taixue, and there was already a mess near the Gongyuan. Today's situation, even the forbidden army in the city will not care. Besides, it's just a son-in-law on the list, and it's not really a kidnapping. Even if you don't want to, you don't necessarily have to use force, right?

Even if it is strong, a man will never feel a loss in this kind of thing.

Unless you meet a tigress......

The three of them waited for a long time, and they swore that they had sent Wen Ji and the others to wait at the Luguo Mansion. Wen Baye was quite miserable in the Luguo Mansion, and he didn't finish his studies, so he had to be a loose official who was a contractor, and he went to do business by himself, and his family property was thousands, and he was definitely a good father-in-law.

People came and went in the alley, passing by the corner where Li Kui and a few of them were hiding, and the passers-by were frightened.

However, I quickly reacted that today is the day when the Gongyuan is released, and most of them are idle men who came to catch their sons-in-law under the list. It's no wonder.

Inadvertently, there were really soldiers who threw themselves into the net, and fled from the alley in a panic. There were a few people who looked like family members chasing after him, shouting while chasing: "Don't let him go!" ”

Fan Chong squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the other party's appearance, and when the arrival was almost in front of him, he jumped out of the corner, holding the hemp rope in his hand, as if he was going to put it on the other party's neck.

"Two brothers, come on, big business is coming!"

"Fan Chong!"

"Su Guo, can you recognize me?"

Fan Chong was dumbfounded, and he was recognized with his face covered. The other party is indeed Su Guo, who was dressed as a farmer and watched the list at the gate of the Gongyuan before. Su Guo, who had an experience of falling off the list, didn't dare to let his uncle send someone to see the list, worried that in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty. I had to bite the bullet and come to see the list myself. He has lived in the capital for a few years, so he naturally knows the madness of catching his son-in-law under the list, so he dressed up carefully.

But when it came, he was still recognized, so he could only pull his legs and run.

Unlike other scholars, Su Guo often worked, and his body, legs and feet were much stronger than ordinary scholars.

As for why he recognized Fan Chong, it was still Fan Chong who embroidered an orchid on the net handkerchief on his face, and if he was familiar with it, coupled with his height and appearance, it would be easy to recognize. They are classmates, and the two families still have some friendship, but they didn't expect to be tied to an acquaintance, and Fan Chong was also a little dumbfounded. I secretly hated in my heart: "These unrighteous bastards, they said they would do it together, but let him be the first bird." ”

Fortunately, he covered his face with a clean handkerchief, otherwise Fan Chong would have been so embarrassed that he would have hit the wall with his head.

What's more, he looked around, only to find that Li Kui and Li Yun were gone. When he looked up, he found that Li Kui and Li Yun were stunned, and they sat on the wall and arched their hands to Su and said, "Little uncle!" ”

"Teacher!"

The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and his own family destroyed his own family. Li Kui and Li Yun didn't dare to do this!

If you really want to do it, you will deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors.

Su Guo was also puzzled, pointed at Fan Chong, and then asked hesitantly, "Who are you?" ”

"Help."

"Yes, help."

"The Duke of Luguo wants to arrest his son-in-law, and we all admire the prestige of Master Wen and make some modest efforts." Li Kui opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he also showed a sense of impatience and righteousness to do good deeds without leaving a name.

Li Kui saw that the people chasing after Su Guo were also dressed up like them, but they lacked a masked headscarf, which was a little unprofessional.

Fan Chong stuck the word 'earning money' in his throat, nodded very talentedly, and said: "Gong Wen is so old, and he has to worry about his juniors, I really can't bear to wait." ”

Even if Su Guo didn't know anything, he knew that these two people didn't have a word of truth. And Li Yun, a disciple, is not to mention, it is estimated that there are benefits, so he is caught in the middle. is different from Fan Chong, for Li Kui and Li Yun, Su Guo has lived together for more than two years. These two people carry a whole set of equipment for robbing houses and houses with them on weekdays.

Of course, it is impossible to be a strong man.

The main business is black and black.

Anyway, when Li Kui and Li Yun were in Yangzhou, the water bandits on the Yangtze River were almost extinct. It is often heard that the treasure that a big boss has accumulated for most of his life is robbed of his wealth when he is ready to wash his hands.

Li Yun shot out to repel the chasing slaves, and he didn't hit a heavy hand. But one person rushed into the midst of a dozen or so strong slaves, like the arrogance of a tiger entering a flock, and the other party naturally understood that the fat sheep was about to be lost. Li Yun was too strong, he had no chance at all, so he could only retreat. Fortunately, there are a lot of fat sheep in the capital today, not to mention more than 300 heads, and it is nothing to lose one. It's a pity that the fifth Su Guo should be able to sell for a high price.

Li Yun rushed over and found that Su Guo hadn't left yet, and felt that his teacher had some potential, thinking about whether to bring him in?

Fortunately, Li Kui spoke in time: "Uncle Shi, don't leave quickly, if you don't leave, you really have to be the groom's official." ”

Su Guo was afraid for a while, so he ran away. While running, I was still pondering, fortunately I met my own family, otherwise I would be in trouble today. Just as he was running away, someone behind him was shouting: "Uncle Dang, wait for us?" ”

Su Guo listened to the familiar voice, and turned around, but found that Li Kui and Li Yun were holding the sack and put the person on it, Fan Chong was clumsily at the mouth of the sack, and trembled suddenly, as if he realized that he had also walked around from the ghost gate.

I had the intention to scold Li Yun, a disciple, but I didn't dare to rush forward if I said anything. In case of......

Su Guo could only bury his head and run, complaining in his heart that his uncle Su Zhe would not make friends with bandits if Li Kui and others were included in the mansion. But Fan Chong shouldn't be a bandit!

This person has been very good before, has good knowledge, speaks well, and has the demeanor of a handsome son, which is very intimate.

However, he just thought about these things, his uncle has always been stubborn, and he will not listen to the request of one of his juniors at all.

Outside the Luguo Mansion, Li Kui said to Wen Ji: "Send two, one of the top ten, and take a top twenty Ma Yu." A thousand, your lord has made a lot of money. ”

The performance was also magnificent, and after confirming his identity from the sack, he immediately took out 1,500 yuan, saying that it was a benefit.

Fan Chong happily took the money and went home, and the moment he got the money, he was in a particularly peaceful mood. What about the first place in the provincial test?

As far as the people his father offended are basically about to return to the court, even if he becomes an official in the future, Fan Chong is also pessimistic that he is estimated to be degraded all the way to a bitter place like Yazhou.

Fortunately, the travel expenses were quite well prepared, otherwise, when the order of the imperial court came to take office within a time limit, he would not have cried.

And Li Kui also bought some gifts on the street, preparing to go to the master's house to give a generous gift. When the three of them walked near Huang Tingjian's house, they saw the eunuch Tong Guan walking around the street at the gate of Huang Tingjian's courtyard, waiting impatiently at the door.

Seeing Li Kui for the first time, Tong Guan's face suddenly burst into a false smile, and he strode over to Li Kui and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty summons you, and quickly follow our family into the palace." ”
