Over the years, although Shuo Wangfu has also been recruiting talents, because the power of Shuo Wangfu in the court is far less than that of Rongwangfu and Hefu, so those who come here to apply for jobs are basically losers who apply for jobs in Rongwangfu and Mansion, these people come to Shuowangfu to apply, basically just to find a long-term meal ticket, eat and drink, and fly away as soon as there are other high talents, which has always made Prince Shuo extremely depressed, but in order not to let Rongwangfu and Hefu go farther, he has to continue to recruit diners every three months。 Although this thing is still continuing, in order to make him taller among the short people, he asked the master to prepare a few interview test papers in advance, let the applicants answer the questions first, and wait to watch them at leisure, and look at their results to decide whether to admit or not, but when he flipped through the test papers today, he was still attracted by the one-point test papers, because he found a blank paper in the answer sheet of the applicant diner, and it was not entirely clear that it was blank, at least there was another person on the paper.

- Fang Xiaoyu.

Although there were only three words on the paper, the paper managed to attract the attention of Prince Shuo, and out of curiosity, Prince Shuo decided to meet the applicant.

When he saw Fang Xiaoyu, he was a little disappointed, Fang Xiaoyu was too young, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and he didn't look like he was reading poetry and books at all, but since he came, he still decided to meet him patiently: "You are Fang Xiaoyu?"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Is the prince disappointed?"

Prince Shuo was slightly stunned, and the young man seemed to see through what he was thinking: "How do you know?"

Fang Xiaoyu actually sat down, picked up the teacup and drank tea: "Most people think that a well-educated person should not be a milky teenager. ”

Prince Shuo asked, "Do you have a meritorious reputation?"

"Nine-year-old children, twelve talents, fifteen people. ”

"If you are a lifter, why don't you answer a word on the answer sheet?" asked Prince Shuo.

"Because the prince won't look at every test paper," Fang Xiaoyu always had a smile on his face: "If my test paper can't attract the attention of the prince, what good is it to answer well." ”

Prince Shuo began to feel that the young man in front of him was a little interesting: "So you want to serve this king?"

"Fang Xiaoyu is just making a deal with the palace," Fang Xiaoyu seemed very direct: "I am a prince from Minxi, and this time I went to Beijing mainly to participate in the next year's scientific examination, but there is still a long time from now to the spring and autumn examination of the next year, although I have some silver on me, but it is not easy to live in the capital, in order not to get out of the capital in a gray way, or live on the streets, so I want to come here to see if I can find an errand and eat together?"

Prince Shuo was very depressed when he heard it, although their Shuo Wangfu was not as powerful as the Rong Wangfu and the Hefu, but he was also the prince of the imperial court, and he was noble, when did his Shuo Wangfu become a place for those Jianghu characters to eat.

Fang Xiaoyu ignored Prince Shuo's depressed mood at all, and continued: "My requirements are not very high, the prince can give me one hundred taels of silver every month, what doubts does the prince have, I will try my best to solve problems for the prince, of course, every time I solve problems for the prince, I have to collect another 50 taels of silver, in addition, I am not subject to any restrictions from the palace, and I can come and go freely." ”

King Shuoqing laughed angrily: "Your conditions are very harsh. ”

"Because I'm worth the price. ”

Fang Xiaoyu is very confident.

Prince Shuo snorted coldly: "What if this king says no?"

Fang Xiaoyu said leisurely: "As the saying goes, the twisted melon is not sweet, the pole is not a deal, since it is a deal, you and I must be willing to do it, not at all, besides, if the owner does not beat me, I can find the west family, if that's the case, you have to be careful, in case I accidentally take refuge in the prince's political enemy, you have to be careful, if that's the case, I may be your most terrible enemy, for the sake of the prince, I suggest that the prince still agree." ”

Prince Shuo sneered: "You are not afraid that this king will kill you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Lord Wang, you are just laughing at your anger, as a prince, how can you be so small-bellied, you look at those great figures in history, which of them doesn't have a heart that embraces all things, Lord Wang, you are a noble Tianhuang, but you don't have tolerance for the amount of the world, and it shouldn't be such a small-bellied chicken intestine, right?"

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Don't be a sycophant, this king is not a big man who has achieved great things, isn't it just a little person who wants to guard his wife and hot kang?"

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that Prince Shuo was very cute, he looked like a little old man who was angry with his children," Lord Wang, you are also a dignified member of the royal family, Tianhuang noble, how can you joke with me and a small people, but I am not scared, can we talk openly and honestly, I am not scared, and I am easy to suffer from sleepwalking, you said that if you accidentally sleepwalk to your mansion at night, scare you, this is not very good, although the prince's mansion is heavily guarded, what are the five masters, the six masters are in charge, but it is not easy to catch me, although I am not a peerless master。 ”

As he spoke, the tea cup in his hand shattered, and his hand squirmed a few times, and a thin white powder slipped from his fingers: "Lord, the tea set in your house is too unstrong, do you want me to introduce you to one, I know several tea sets that sell them." ”

Prince Shuo was moved.

Fang Xiaoyu undoubtedly showed him his superb internal skills.

Although he is not a martial arts master, but he is also a knowledgeable person, it is not only difficult for a person to crush a cup with one hand, but it is also very difficult, at least among so many masters under him, no one can do it, such a master, even if it costs a little more to snare him into his command, it is worth it, but he doesn't want to be so soft, otherwise this kid's tail will not be raised to the sky:" You want 200 taels of silver a month, no problem, every time you charge 50 taels of silver for the king to solve problems, it's no problem, but before that, you have to prove to the king that you have this ability, although your martial arts are high enough, it can only prove that you are a martial artist, and what this king wants is a staff member who can help the king share his worries and solve his labor. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "How does the prince want me to prove it?"

"I don't know," Prince Shuo replied honestly: "The recruitment of samurai in the palace is assessed by my daughter, and the recruitment of literati is assessed by my wife. “

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this: "Lord Wang, you can't do anything in the house." “

Prince Shuo saw Fang Xiaoyu's very depressed appearance, and he was extremely happy in his heart, but his face was very calm: "Don't you know that this king is a well-known prince of Hu Tu, although this king is a little nonsense, but it is not easy for you to deceive this king, this king has a shrewd and virtuous Fujin, and a filial daughter, with them to take care of everything in the house, this king can hide behind and enjoy the happiness, but since you are here, you have to first submit a letter of fame to this king and help this king solve a small matter." “

Fang Xiaoyu's mouth pursed: "It's not impossible for me to make suggestions, and I can make plans for fifty taels at a time." “

"Isn't it fifty taels of silver, this little money can still be taken out by the king. “

Prince Shuo directly threw a fifty-tael silver ingot to Fang Xiaoyu, and after taking the silver ingot, for fear that there would be a fake, he repeatedly argued there, and Prince Shuo said with contempt: "Stinky boy, it's true, will our dignified Shuo Wangfu use fake silver?"

Fang Xiaoyu didn't mean to be ashamed at all: "Born in a small family, I haven't seen anything in the world, don't blame the prince, but since I have received the prince's silver, Xiaoyu should share the worries and relieve the prince, and the prince can say any confusion." “

Prince Shuo pretended to be fierce and said: "I have accepted the silver of this king, if your answer cannot satisfy this king, this king will not only recover fifty taels of silver, but also beat you fifty big boards, and deprive you of your fame, and never hire you." “

Fang Xiaoyu looked very calm: "If Xiaoyu can't solve problems for the prince, it will be shameless, but I don't know what confusion the prince has." “

Prince Shuo got up: "Come with this king." “

When he came out of the inner hall with Prince Shuo, Fang Xiaoyu saw two trembling and frightened men kneeling in the courtyard, and behind them stood several guards of the palace: "Have you seen those two people?"

Fang Xiaoyu nodded.

Prince Shuo continued: " Today, the king went down to the court, and met the nasty Liu Luoguo, he gave the king a problem, said that his people heard someone on the road called to catch the thief, so let people chase it, but Chang Sui caught two at once, and Chang Sui only knew that there must be a thief in the middle, who was the thief, they didn't know, and there were no eyewitnesses at the time, when they rushed over, they saw that the two people had scuffled together, and they had to say that the other party was a thief, unable to tell, helplessly, only to bring these two people back, do you have a way to tell who is the thief？“

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "The prince is angry with Lord Liu?"

"Dut," Prince Shuo said immediately: "This king will be angry with a Luo pot, and if you don't insult the identity of this king, you can tell if you can tell who is the thief." “

"After receiving the prince's silver, it is natural that you should solve your problems for the prince," Fang Xiaoyu replied: "The prince asked them to run more than a dozen laps in the yard, and of course the one who runs slowly is a thief." “

Prince Shuo was suspicious: "It's that simple?"

"The two can scuffle together, there must be one person chasing the thief, and then they scuffle together, if the chasing person is slower than the thief, the thief must have run away......

Before Fang Xiaoyu's words were finished, Prince Shuo couldn't help patting his head, and suddenly said: "The thief runs slower than the person who chases, why do you say that this king is so stupid, I can't think of such a simple truth, come to someone, drive to find Liu Luoguo." ”

Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Where am I?"

Prince Shuo nodded: "You are a little clever, so let's leave an address, you go back and wait for the news first, and when Fujin comes back from his mother's house, this king will let people inform you, now you get out of here." ”

"Yes!

What Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that at noon the next day, he was invited by Prince Shuo's guards to the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, as soon as he entered the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Fang Xiaoyu saw Prince Shuo sitting there from a distance, and he was sitting with a middle-aged man with an ostrich's back, and there was an official with a four-rank top in them, and this official was clearly the governor of Shuntian Mansion.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, Prince Shuo sat at that end, waiting for Fang Xiaoyu to greet him, until Fang Xiaoyu greeted him, he was old-fashioned and angry, and with Prince Shuo there was also a four-grade top official, until he saw the salute, Prince Shuo said in an old-fashioned manner:" Boy, this king praised you in front of Luo Guozi and Shuntianfu yesterday, but people just disdain you at all, and said that you played what they had left over from the early years, and today you fight for this king, if you do this today, this king will accept you as a diner on behalf of Shuo Wangfu, otherwise you will stay cool. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, Prince Shuo was really direct enough: "But I don't know what the prince has to make the little one serve." ”

Prince Shuo thought about it for a while and turned to the official who wore the four pins and said: "Xiao Du, you still tell him, this king and I are too stupid and lazy to talk to this kid, this kid is very slippery, maybe he will go around this king in a few words." ”
