Shanyin County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.

Due to the many years of operation of the four surnames of Huiji, the business and trade of San'in Castle are very prosperous, which can be seen from the liveliness of the market.

Chen Wentian didn't like shopping in later generations, after all, e-commerce and logistics are too convenient, and there is no need to go out at all, not to mention that the shopping environment of this Han Dynasty market is not very good......

But he still patiently accompanied Shang Qing and the two to visit the market, who made him unable to erase Shang Ke's pleading......

This kid has been restless since he entered the city, and has always wanted to travel around, but he was forced by Shang Qing before, so he could only stay in the house and be sullen.

Until Chen Wentian came back from the county guard's mansion, he asked a few of them to go out to buy some items and change their clothes.

At this time, Chen Wentian was like a broad son who became rich overnight, and he changed into the outfit of a scholar in the county guard's mansion, wandering around the market with a smile, and letting the Shangqing sisters buy at will.

He told Nie Zhen that the activity funds he brought at the beginning were all sunk into the sea with the new ship, and hoped that the other party could temporarily lend him some money, but he didn't expect Nie Zhen to give him 30,000 yuan without saying a word......

Finally, I have a little pleasure of hugging thick legs!

It's just that for his request to send some more seeds from Yizhou that he carried before, Nie Junshou said that he couldn't be the master, and he needed to send someone back to the lord.

Chen Wentian understands him, it is estimated that Nie Zhen does not have this authority, it is normal to need to ask Ouyang Qi, he will wait in Shanyin County......

Seeing that Shang Ke was holding a pale yellow pastry he had just bought, excitedly wandering around each store, and from time to time he didn't want to take a bite, Chen Wentian smiled and walked to Shang Qing, who was a little restrained and tangled, and asked:

"Why don't you go shopping with Ke'er, you can buy some yourself, it's rare to come to the county, the market here is the largest in Huiji County."

"Are you here to keep our sisters here?"

But Shang Qing's brows furrowed even tighter when she heard this, and she asked directly and sharply, what she was most worried about now was that Chen Wentian would leave them by herself.

"Well, how can you think that, I ...... Didn't I want to buy you some clothes to make your journey......"

Chen Wentian originally thought about settling Shang Qing and Shang Ke, and when the person who reported to Ouyang Qi got a reply and returned with his things, he set off for Qingzhou alone.

Anyway, he had already reconfirmed to Nie Zhen the action of purging the four major counties of Huiji, and the other party said that it had already begun to be implemented, and presumably Shang Qing's great revenge would be avenged soon.

It should be regarded as returning her escort all the way......

As for the safety of the trip after that, Chen Wentian said that he was not worried at all, after all, there were more than ten "Tianlong Task Force members" secretly "protecting" around the clock, and they were all by land in the back, so there would be no danger in thinking about it!

But who knew that the keen Shang Qing could see through his thoughts, and Chen Wentian could only say perfunctorily.

"Is that true?"

Shang Qing still asked, and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes.

"Seriously...... Seriously. ”

Chen Wentian smiled bitterly.

"Then Lang Jun is willing to swear?"

……

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The imperial capital of Luoyang Palace.

Just when Chen Wentian was worried about his red face, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was also deciding his life's events.

Since Empress Song was deposed, the lord of his harem has been empty, and now it is time to choose another queen.

The difference is that he has nothing to worry about, and the election of the queen is not only his own major event, but also a major event of the court, but Liu Hong took this as an important opportunity to appease the scholars everywhere.

Therefore, he decisively chose Yang Ru, a talented person born in Hongnong Yang, to become the queen, and at the same time greatly promoted the ranks of the daughters of the Yuan, Xun, Chen, Zheng, Han and other scholars in the palace, and also recruited the Cui family, the Wei family, the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Cai family, the Pang family and other dozens of families sent the good people in the clan......

For Liu Hong, there are not too many women, and the key has to work.

Only by attaching importance to the daughter of the scholar clan with a clear banner can the hesitant heart of the scholar clan in the world be re-settled, and can it also provide space for his follow-up planning.

Especially after the end of the state party dispute.

As for the newly promoted eunuchs, Liu Hong said that it was better to forget it......

Recently, because he has to deal with a lot of affairs, his energy has not been as good as before, and this kind of woman who is purely for entertainment should take it slowly.

However, the little eunuchs will not be disappointed, because the palace is established and large-scale newcomers, and the master Liu Hong requires a grand ceremony to be held, and the arrangement is for them to handle it specifically.

As long as there is something to do, it means that they have a role, not to mention that it is such a big celebration, maybe the opportunity for promotion will come if you do it well!

There are only three of the ten permanent servants left, and I heard that Zhang's husband still intends to retire.

The little eunuchs are all full of enthusiasm now, and the young people are already aggressive, not to mention that the positions above have been vacated, if you don't work hard now, when will you stay?

As for the death of the other permanent servants, they didn't care, this was a life-and-death arena, and if they were not as skilled as others, they would end up like this, who told them to make things too hot!

Over the years, they have been crazy about collecting money behind the master's back, and the master has given them the opportunity to clear their name, but they still want to hide it, isn't this just death......

"In that case, wait and stand down."

In the Huaxing Palace, Liu Hong explained some requirements for ceremonies, and was very satisfied with the excited expressions of the little eunuchs, so he sent them to retreat.

When the new batch of eunuchs left, Liu Hong began to arrange the old people in the palace again.

He ordered someone to pass on Zhang Rang and Song Dian, who were waiting outside the palace, to enter the palace, and when the two approached, he asked with a sinister smile:

"Zhang Qing, I heard that you want to resign and return to your hometown, is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is old, and I am afraid that His Majesty will drive him to live up to the holy will, so he prays to return to his hometown for the elderly, and all his assets are willing to be dedicated to the Shaofu ......"

Zhang Rang said pitifully.

Since the merger incident, he has completely seen the true face of his master.

While others were still thinking carefully, he silently began to protect himself, and finally became one of the only three remaining permanent attendants as he wished.

But he understands that if he continues to stay in the palace and occupy the position of permanent attendant, then the next time the master acts, no matter how careful he is, he will not be able to avoid the fate of becoming a self-destructing pawn......

So, the clever Zhang Rang proposed to return to his hometown at this time, in order to avoid the next disaster.

"Hmph, does Zhang Qing think that handing over his assets can be regarded as repaying my favor for many years?"

But Liu Hong was still unwilling to give up his once powerful leader of the eunuch party.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, please also spare the life of the old slave for the sake of the old slave's dedication for many years......"

When Zhang Rang heard this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Zhang Qing rest assured, as long as you do one more thing, I will definitely save your life!"
