"In that case, thank you very much. I'm not familiar with this area, and it's not easy to find the right person. ”

Deng Yan immediately smiled, "Brother Liu, don't say that, I should thank you so much, so that I can share some livelihood for my mother." ”

"Then it's decided, we'll go over together when we're done with the meal."

To be honest, there is indeed a shortage of people in the shop, Lu Feng basically doesn't care about everything, and Dong Ban is busy.

When he recruited Dong Ban, he mainly wanted to have some relationship with Li Gu, if it really made him tired, he would be embarrassed.

As soon as the dishes were served, several people chatted while eating, Deng Yan was born in a famous family, although he was still a little restrained at the beginning, he was also very talkative after getting acquainted.

He is different from Dong Ban's angry youth, although his family is unfortunate, he is still in a peaceful state of mind, and he knows more about things in Kyoto.

After the two ate a meal, they felt that the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they both felt familiar at first sight. Liu Zhi's depressed mood gradually improved, and he became talking and laughing.

Just as he was about to get up after eating, Liu Zhi found that Deng Yan looked at the meat dishes on the table that didn't move many chopsticks, showing a look of pity.

I immediately understood it in my heart, but the scholar in this era has a strong sense of face, even if he wants Deng Yan to pack it back, I am afraid that the other party will sternly refuse.

When he got out, he quietly pulled Zhang Rang and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Rang was clever, and immediately nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I will do it well." With that, he turned around and ran.

Here Liu Zhi and Deng Yan came to Dong Ban's second-hand book shop again, although there were not as many people in it as in the morning, there were still two poor scholars who had been pestering him.

Dong Ban used to be an official when he was in Nanyang, and he was not a complete nerd, and when he saw Liu Zhi go and return, he knew that something was indeed wrong.

So I apologized to let the two scholars come back next time, but when I turned my head and saw him walking hand in hand with Deng Yan, I couldn't help but be very surprised.

"How did you two meet?"

Liu Zhi laughed, "Speaking of this, it's a bit embarrassing. ”

So he smiled and told him in detail about the misunderstanding that happened before.

Dong Ban couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, "If you want to say that Deng Meng's sister-in-law, she is indeed a little spicy, but her heart is still good." ”

The crowd made fun of him a few times, and then threw the matter away.

Liu Zhi said to Dong Ban at this time: "I see that the shop is very busy, so I want to ask Brother Dong to give you a hand, and leave the things of sorting out books and transcriptions to him in the future." ”

Dong Ban also knew that he didn't care whether he was profitable or not, so he wanted to make a few more friends who were in love.

"That's good, I'll be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future."

A few people were gathering to chat, when they heard a commotion outside, and then a team of halberd-wielding soldiers broke in.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted violently, "On the order of the general, track down the fugitives." With that, the group of armor soldiers prepared to begin their search.

Zuo Yi hurriedly went up to stop him, took out a black token, and the little leader led by him saw it, and his face changed greatly.

"It turns out that there is a noble person here, and I am offended."

Immediately waved his hand, "No need to check here." ”

A group of armor soldiers rushed out again, as they had first entered, and the little leader arched his hand at them as a sign of apology.

Dong Ban and Deng Yan were secretly surprised, you must know that the general's people are famous for their flying and domineering, and ordinary dignitaries and nobles will not give him the slightest face.

Although Liu Yi claims to be a royal clan, to be honest, there are really few Liu clans in Kyoto that can make Liang Ji scruples, and all of them can be counted, and there is no unknown person like Liu Yi among them.

It seems that his true identity is not simple.

"The general is so powerful, I don't know who he is arresting?"

Dong Ban sighed, in his mind, Liang Ji was the thief of the Han Court, and all those who were hunted down by him were loyal, benevolent, and righteous.

Liu Zhi sighed, "It's Lang Zhong Yuan, he wrote to His Majesty, saying that the general has a high merit and should resign and go into hiding." ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a while, even a cynical person like Dong Ban knew that this move was too naïve.

"Alas, I don't know how many people will be involved this time, and there is another round of purging above the court."

Although Liu Zhi is just a puppet emperor, he comes into contact with national affairs every day, and he always brings some out unconsciously.

Dong Ban felt that something was wrong, although he regarded Liu Zhi as a friend, but in his mind, he only felt that he was a righteous and noble son, and he never knew that he still had the heart to worry about the country and the people.

Everyone sighed for a while, Liu Zhi was worried about Zuo Yi's safety because of this incident, so he hurriedly went home.

After returning to the palace, he went straight to Yongle Palace, and met Zhou Fu at the gate of the palace, so he stopped and asked about the situation.

Only then did I know that the general and the queen mother had a dispute over this matter, and they broke up unhappily, and now the queen mother is sulking.

When Liu Zhi went in, he saw Mrs. Liang sitting there gloomy, and when he saw him come in, he reluctantly greeted him twice.

"Queen Mother, I just came in from outside the palace, and the general is sending Zhi Jinwu to search for Yuan Zhu and Hao Xu."

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, "This Yuan Shu is also to blame, why did he write to scold the general for no reason." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, this must be Liang Ji's words again, fortunately, he has not destroyed the piece of music and has always carried it with him.

Hearing this, he took it out directly, "Actually, that Yuan Langzhong is also kind-hearted, and he doesn't have any intention of insulting the general, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this."

The Queen Mother might as well take a look at it first. ”

Empress Dowager Liang suspiciously stretched out her hand to take the song and quickly browsed it.

"I see, that kid usually looks clever, how could he do such a stupid thing."

Previously, Liang Ji ran over and quarreled with her, saying that Zuo Yi was dissatisfied with him, and instructed Lang Zhong Yuan Zhu and Hao Xu to spread rumors and insult him.

Then he immediately forced the Queen Mother to dismiss Zuo Yi from his position as a permanent attendant, and sent him to prison for questioning, as for a small role like Yuan Zhi, he didn't bother to mention it, it was just an excuse.

Among the six middle attendants, there are not many who are completely loyal to the Queen Mother, and if the left one is removed and Liang Ji's people are replaced, she is even inferior to her brother in terms of control over the palace.

But now that the left one has a handle in the hands of others, she has no choice but to be secretly angry here.

Now that he is making a big fuss and deliberately taking the opportunity to suppress his subordinates, he can't help but be very angry.

He is connected with the Liang family by blood, honor and disgrace, and he thinks about the family everywhere, but his brother only wants to install his own forces, and he doesn't think about her and the country at all.

She is a woman's family, and she has worked hard for the Han world and the royal family, but her brother not only does not support her, but pulls her back legs everywhere.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt extremely lonely and aggrieved in my heart, and sighed faintly, with an extremely depressed look on my face.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Liang, who is usually dignified and noble in front of outsiders, is like an ordinary haggard woman at this time.

When Liu Zhi saw it, his heart moved, and he looked at her very sincerely and said slowly: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, and I will share it for you." ”
