Tokyo Bianliang is not only the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the political, economic and cultural center, according to the household registration of the Ministry of Households, there are more than 20 million households in the country, the total population is only more than 100 million, but it occupies more than 1.5 million people, which can be called the largest and most prosperous city in the world, and is the most dazzling pearl.

Such a huge city, the layout is also very clear, it is composed of three areas: the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, due to the ridiculously expensive land and housing prices in Bianliang, Tokyo, the inner city is basically an area where the powerful and wealthy gentry live, even the lower rank officials can not live in.

Although the Zhu family has won the trust of His Majesty and is extremely powerful, there is only one mansion in the inner city, and the Zhu family's outer residence that Zhao Bufan temporarily settled down in is still in the eastern district of the outer city, although it is still close to the inner city, but after all, it cannot be compared with the inner city, but in such a big mansion, the land price alone is as high as 100,000 yuan, even if the area is not small, but such a price is indeed terrible.

From the servants in the house, he learned that many officials serving in the capital could only rent houses, in addition to renting from the people, they could also rent from the imperial court, because the imperial court built many houses in the city of Tokyo, which was specially responsible for the "shop house", which was cheap and subsidized, and was open to everyone.

In addition, Tokyo also has a "nursing home" that provides free support for the elderly who are lonely and widowed, and a "pharmacy and anjibo" that are used to help poor people with medical treatment, and so on.

Such a scene also brought a violent impact to Zhao Bufan, in this dark era, Bianliang City is incompatible with the outside, here is compared to the outside, that is heaven!

But as the initial curiosity faded, when Zhao Bufan thought about it again, he felt that this Tokyo Bianliang was like a cage, and it was the emperor who imprisoned him, and it was those princes who lived deep in the palace, held power, and strictly controlled the power, but their eyes were completely blinded, and at most they saw the prosperity of Tokyo City, and then they felt that this was the prosperous era.

This also made him lose the idea of playing suddenly, and he was relieved to recuperate at home outside Zhu's house.

Zheyuezhi is different, she is lively and active, where is the person who can stay in the house, she runs out all day long, buys a lot of useless things every time, and then shows them to Zhao Bufan. Shi Qian is similar to her, he goes out every day, this should be his paradise, but unfortunately Zhao Bufan now strictly forbids him to steal the people, so he can only travel around, the main purpose is to collect some scattered news in the inner city.

Luan Tingyu and Zhu Hu have nothing to do, except for the occasional outing, most of the time they stay in the house and pass the time by practicing martial arts.

A few days later, Zhao Bufan tried to find Liang Shicheng, this was something he had planned a long time ago, the holy decree was lost, and finding Liang Shicheng was the safest solution, the reason was that Liang Shicheng drafted the holy decree on behalf of His Majesty all the year round, and there were even many empty holy decrees in his hand that had been stamped, so he could redraft one immediately.

The reason why Liang Shicheng is called "Hidden Phase" by everyone is precisely because he is too trusted by the emperor and has no real power, but because he can do this, even Cai Jing really doesn't dare to offend him openly, and Liang Shicheng is also a person who knows how to measure himself, he will not scribble some holy decrees that will alarm the emperor, and he is only used to sell some officials and favors on weekdays, so it does not affect the overall situation.

The loss of the holy decree in Zhao Bufan's hand is the crime of killing the head according to the big point, but as long as you find Liang Shicheng and ask him to take out the empty holy decree with the seal and fill in the content again, then there will be no problem, because it is the true holy decree with the big seal, but the content was not written originally, and now it can be filled in.

Therefore, the key to the problem is how to impress him, and for this, Zhao Bufan has long been prepared.

never thought that after ordering someone to inform Zhu Bocai about this, Zhu Bocai actually rushed over to stop him in person, asking him not to see Liang Shicheng now, just let him wait!

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Bufan followed the advice and continued to recuperate quietly in the Zhu family's outer house.

Until the end of July, when he couldn't sit still and doubts rose in his heart, Zhu Bocai finally came to the outer house at night and took him to the inner courtyard study alone.

Entering the study, Zhu Bocai lit the candlelight in the room, and in Zhao Bufan's puzzled gaze, he directly took out a roll of yellow cloth from his arms.

"Extraordinary, the holy decree has been obtained, you can face the saint!"

Zhao Bufan's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't believe it, and he took the holy decree and carefully identified it.

Zhu Bocai looked at him funny: "Don't worry, this is from Liang Shicheng!"

"Father-in-law, I haven't even gone to see Liang Shicheng yet, and I haven't paid any price, he is willing to give me the holy decree, how can he be so generous?

Zhu Bocai shook his head lightly: "Yang Jian's attack on you has made this matter complicated, Liang Shicheng was originally incompatible with Yang Jian, Yang Jian wants to kill you, but you have always been quite respectful to Liang Shicheng, didn't you send him 100,000 yuan earlier? When I release the news that Yang Jian intends to kill you, and then make some gossip out, let Liang Shicheng suspect that this matter is Yang Jian fighting for him and suppressing his prestige, so that he will naturally try his best to protect you!"

With Zhu Bocai's explanation, Zhao Bufan immediately understood, and smiled: "In this way, that Tong Guan doesn't dare to go to Liang Shicheng now, because if he asks Liang Shicheng not to help me, then Liang Shicheng will think that he and Yang Jian are all the way, not only will he not be pleased, but he will make Liang Shicheng jealous!"

"That's right!" Zhu Bocai said with a smile: "I let Liang Shicheng know that Wanhualou is Yang Jian's power, and let him know that Wanhualou is going to kill you, and then spread some rumors a little, he can't find out the reason why Yang Jian killed you, so he will naturally believe those rumors, thinking that Yang Jian can't get used to you getting close to him, so he wants to get rid of you."

In this case, Liang Shicheng absolutely cannot accept it, Yang Jian's doing this is equivalent to cutting off his financial path and breaking his foundation. If he doesn't keep you, then this kind of thing will spread out, and in the future, everyone will think that he Liang Shicheng can't fight Yang Jian, and he won't dare to send him money in the future, and he won't dare to get close to him anymore, but he will all go to get close to Yang Jian, what else can he Liang Shicheng do? What's more, I also leaked out that the holy decree was robbed by Wanhualou, do you say that he Liang Shicheng is not angry?"

Zhao Bufan smiled, this is really a wonderful move, although the steps are very simple, but it just happens to hit the sensitive place of all parties.

Now, Yang Jian is inexplicably carrying the black cauldron, in the eyes of the powerful ministers of all parties, he is the one who snatched Zhao Bufan's holy decree, and he is speechless, and Tong Guan, who really holds the holy decree, does not dare to leak the slightest news, for fear that Liang Shicheng will misunderstand that he and Yang Jian are all the way, and there is no way to threaten Zhao Bufan anymore, it can be said that he is dumb and eats yellow lotus, and he can't say anything about his suffering!

A storm that should have been set off will obviously calm down quietly.

At this moment, Zhao Bufan also had a deeper understanding of the battle between the high-level, this time it was Zhu Bocai who took advantage of the situation, and he won a game, but this kind of battle between forces happens all year round, when to win and when to lose, it is impossible to say!

You calculate me, I calculate you, who is in whose trap, who becomes a chess piece is even more difficult to say, everyone is like walking a tightrope, it is really terrifying!

Zhu Bocai may have seen through what he was thinking, and spoke again with a smile: "Extraordinary, the affairs of the court, you don't have to think too much about it now, you just need to work hard to lead the troops, work hard to enhance your prestige, work hard to control the power, and solve the border affairs, when you are well prepared and have enough strength, then is the time for you to consider the court, and it will be no problem for us to go up for another ten or eight years, and we must not be in a hurry to do great things!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, this sentence is in my heart!"

Zhao Bufan bowed seriously, paused for a moment, and then asked again: "There is one more thing that the son-in-law doesn't understand, I have never had a grudge with Yang Jian, and I don't think I have offended him, why did he hold me and kill me at such a big price?"

Faced with this, Zhu Bocai smiled and said nothing, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"I also just speculated about this matter, but I didn't find out the specific details of the incident back then, so I can't be sure, so this question can't answer you for the time being, and you'd better not know now, it won't do you any good. You need to believe me, if I marry my beloved daughter Zhu Lian to you, then I won't harm you!"

Zhao Bufan looked at Zhu Bocai seriously for a long time, and nodded quietly: "I believe this!"

Zhu Bocai got up with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about these heavy things, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you are going to enter the palace to face the saint, and I will also prepare for your wedding with Lian'er, this Zhu family's outer house has sent you, the title deed and the house deed are in the mezzanine of this study, from now on this place is yours, as for the one million dowry, it will be secretly sent here tomorrow night, and on the day of marrying Zhu Lian, you remember to give it back to me with great fanfare!"

Zhao Bufan was very silent, he didn't know what to say!

If you say thank you, it really seems a little strange, and if you don't speak, it looks even stranger!

Zhu Bocai seemed to see through what he was thinking, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and shook his head with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it, just remember the two promises you promised me!"

In fact, Zhao Bufan didn't have any guesses, Zhu Bocai's behavior made him have a lot of vague feelings, not to mention that those two promises were very strange.

For some reason, Zhao Bufan blurted out in a daze: "Father-in-law, do you want to support me to rebel?"

Zhu Bocai's forward steps were momentarily stunned, and he was silent for a long time before he shook his head with a smile: "I don't want to, neither do our Zhu family, our Zhu family has been favored by the emperor for generations, loyal to the Zhao family, no matter who wants to make trouble, my Zhu family will desperately suppress it!"

Zhao Bufan was silent, he really didn't understand Zhu Bocai, he didn't understand what he was trying to do, and why he made those two promises, but in any case, after marrying Zhu Lian, he and the Zhu family were tied to the same boat, if the boat capsized and wiped out the three clans, then he and the Zhu family would die together!

Zhu Bocai also looked back at him again, with a strange smile on his face, but in the end he didn't say anything and strolled away...... (To be continued.) )
