It just so happened that the two of them didn't eat either, and found a restaurant that looked very luxurious. Although it was night, the restaurant was still full of people, full of guests, Han Tongwen found the most lively position and sat down, ordered some wine and food and began to listen to the people next to him chatting.

What do the Tang people do after dinner? Answer, bragging and nonsense! Remove the elements of bragging, and a lot of useful information can be drawn from nonsense. If a spy wants to gather information, it's very simple, and everything will be known after a meal.

"Damn, the city gate has been blocked for half a month, when is it a head, is Lao Tzu's goods rotting here?" said a big man indignantly

"Let's not say a word, you just lost some goods, but those refugees from Beiting Prefecture outside the city lost their lives," Dahan's friend knocked his fingers on the table and whispered

"It is said that the wealthy Liangzhou is definitely not short of a mouthful of food for those thousands of people, Liangzhou and Beiting Prefecture have been married for many years, even if the government doesn't care, why are the four doors closed" Dahan was also afraid of being heard by others, so his voice was very low

"It's not the order of Zhu Fangping, the assassin of Liangzhou, who said that the military situation is urgent, gathered all the food that Liangzhou could mobilize, and said that he would give priority to supplying the Northern Army of the Tang Dynasty."

"Fart, Generalissimo Li's Northern Army is still on the edge of Youzhou, when has Liangzhou been supplied, eighty percent of this bastard wants to fill his pocket!"

"That's not necessarily, it is said that Zhu Fangping is still a good official in Liangzhou, he has been in Liangzhou for nearly ten years, and he has taken care of this place in an orderly manner, and as usual, he should not do such a thing."

"The world is as black as a crow," the big man poured a sip of wine

"I'm very strange, it hasn't happened since Zhu Fangping announced the blockade of the four gates, it is rumored that he is infected with the wind and cold, and these days it is the general Yanqiu who is managing Liangzhou"

"So many refugees starved to death and froze to death, he contracted a cold, this kind of corrupt official, it's good to die, dead pure"

"Who said it wasn't" Han Tongwen took a pot of wine and fought on this table, "My wife is from Beiting Prefecture, it snows heavily in Beiting Prefecture, and my wife also saved some surplus food and said that it was to wait for my mother's family to come and take care of it, who knew that the four doors of this dog day would be closed, and I pity my seventy-year-old grandmother, she must not be able to survive this winter" Han Tongwen showed a grief-stricken expression

"Little brother, don't be sad, the government of the dog day will not do anything!" the big man slapped the table

"Shhhh

"I only saw my grandmother last year, what a good old man," Han Tongwen said and took a sip of wine depressedly

Watching Han Tongwen's performance, Qiao Song almost believed it, he did have a maternal grandmother.

"Big brother, you said that Zhu Fangping was a good official before, why did he do this to watch the refugees starve to death at the gate of the city!"

The other took a sip of wine and was late for his meal, looking like I know more than you do

"Oops, this can be regarded as a secret of Liangzhou, and there are few people who know it."

"Big brother, you have hands and eyes, don't sell it, it's a big deal, this wine brother invited"

"Haha, that is, you look at the little brother, you are pleasing to the eye, I really don't tell him about ordinary people" Han Tongwen's sycophants are still very useful

"The cousin of the son of my third aunt's brother-in-law is on an errand under Yanqiu!"

Although Han Tongwen didn't know who his third aunt's brother-in-law's son's cousin was, it sounded quite powerful.

"It is said that before closing the four gates, Zhu Fangping once convened the civil and military generals of Liangzhou City to discuss countermeasures, and I heard that the two also quarreled. Zhu Fangping advocated closing the city gate, and Yanqiu advocated relief for refugees, and the two quarreled."

"This Yanqiu is usually inconspicuous, and I can't imagine that I dare to do it with the assassin at such a critical moment, so I rush to this and come to one" The big man praised Yanqiu very much

"Also, according to the cousin of the son of my third aunt's brother-in-law, this Yanqiu is really righteous!"

"How to say"

"Since Zhu Fangping fell ill, Yanqiu often sent people to secretly open the city gate in the middle of the night and send some food and clothes outside the city, otherwise more people would die."

"How is it possible, where is there a good official in the world" Han Tongwen deliberately looked disbelieving

"Alas, little brother, don't believe it, my third aunt's brother-in-law's son's cousin sent it, it's true, although he doesn't dare to blatantly disobey the assassination, but it's still okay to secretly open an opening"

"Yanqiu" Han Tongwen silently remembered this name in his heart.

The friends at the wine table were like this, the seats were scattered, and they didn't even write down their names, and they only knew that someone had invited them to a meal and blew the cow for a while.

"Qiao Song, I always have some trouble figuring it out, do you say that a disciple of Wenzong will be a merciless and unrighteous person who regards the lives of refugees as nothing?"

"What is Wenzong" Qiao Song didn't know what Wenzong was

"Take your Grandpa Li An as an example, do you think his disciple will become a liar like Zhao Quanhai?" Han Tongwen made an analogy

Qiao Song thought for a while, "No, how can Grandpa Li An be such a good person, how can there be such a shameful disciple?"

"Well, before I came here, I specifically asked Mr. Wu about some matters related to Beiting Prefecture and the neighboring Youzhou and Liangzhou, and Mr. Wu mentioned Zhu Fangping. ”

"Zhu Fangping is a young child, born in a scholarly boy, and grew up in "Spring and Autumn". The Fourteenth School and the Zhaowen Academy, because of his integrity, was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Ji Da, and was named the champion of the Nineteenth Imperial Examination! When Mr. Wu came, he also specially told me that Mr. Ji's ability to recognize people is known to the world, and the four apprentices he received are all Tang officials, and Zhu Fangping should be credible."

"But what other people say doesn't seem to be the same," Qiao Song said

"People are always changing, after 20 years, maybe the current Zhu Fangping is no longer the Zhu Fangping he once was"

Han Tongwen frowned, intuitively, it didn't seem to be simple for Liangzhou to close the four gates, he wanted to have dinner and explore the Shi Mansion at night!

Coincidentally, I was curious about Yanqiu, and in addition to the middle-aged Kong Wu with a square face, there were several armorers behind him in armor!

Feeling hungry, the middle-aged man walked up to a stall selling scones and found a few copper coins

"Bring us some cookies"

"General Yan, the old man will give you a few good hot ones, and I won't delay you to patrol the city soon! The money will not be collected, who dares to collect your money on this street, the old man will be the first to get along with him!"

"Old man, you are serious" Yan Qiu looked very wooden, a little unsmiling, Han Tongwen felt that the more such a person, the less he could disguise, so the first impression was very good, not like a cunning person.

Yan Qiu didn't stay long, and left after dinner.
