Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 170 The troubles of happiness

"Go ahead!"

Zhu Niang was obviously very self-motivated, she still followed behind and was unwilling to leave, until Li Yan waved her hand, she reluctantly returned to the house.

"Li Jiyi has good means!"

Yang Zaisi came behind him and looked at the Supi girls who had started to study again: "It's a pity that there are still a few of these subjugated noble girls. If there are hundreds, this kind of offensive will be a sharp weapon against Tubo Sun Boru!"

As soon as Li Yan heard this, he knew that the Ministry of Rites had obviously considered a similar method, but because the number of people was too small, he probably gave up, and nodded: "It's better than nothing, you can copy more, more than [-] people are more than [-] People, it can be more than [-] people."

Yang Zaisi's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

Li Yandao: "However, whether it is a letter or a translation of a book, it must go through strict inspection."

Yang Zaisi nodded: "I'll make sure later, after all, they were taught by Jia thieves from Liangzhou, if they have hidden secrets, it will be troublesome!"

Because of Qiu Ying's relationship, the two sides were naturally somewhat close, Li Yan invited, "Can you make an appointment for dinner with Yang Jiyi?"

Yang Zaisi's face was full of smiles immediately: "No wonder I ate less lunch today, it was to drink with Li Jiyi, haha, let's go!"

Li Yan also laughed, but just after taking a few steps, his feet suddenly stopped and he turned back.

He stood at the window, confirmed the number of women inside, and asked: "These Subi women were brought out from Jia's house. There were thirty-five of them, but now there are thirty-six in the house. The extra one who is it?"

Yang Zaisi followed, his expression changed immediately, and he looked at the guards on both sides: "What's going on?"

The imperial guard also became nervous, clenched their weapons, and was about to rush inside.

But Li Yan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

He walked into the house, Zhu Niang hurriedly saluted, and then the big and small ladies also stood up and saluted.

Li Yan said to Zhu Niang: "Are all Subi people here?"

Zhu Niang's complexion changed slightly, and she dared not hide it: "When I return to Mr. Lang, there is also a little maid who comes to listen to every class. I see that she is eager to learn, so I didn't stop her."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

After the words fell, the shortest lady in the front row stood up: "It's me."

Li Yan was surprised, because this little lady is really too young.

The little girl, who was about six or seven years old, had tears of fear in her eyes under the gaze, but she tried not to let them fall.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Yan signaled to the imperial guards outside that it was okay, and said gently: "Go back, you will not be issued orders in the future, and don't walk around at will."

"Thank you sir!"

Tears welled up in the eyes of the little lady, she bowed and ran out quickly.

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, a little dumbfounded.

Yang Zaisi followed the little lady's running direction all the way, and sighed: "She is a criminal daughter of Ye Ting, I am afraid she is also a noble daughter of a certain family, so she is so eager to learn!"

Li Yan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "The Qi county magistrate who was wronged in the Jiangnan case, his wife and daughter were also assigned to Yeting. Now that the truth is revealed, have they been sent back to their original places?"

The guard next to him said: "Report to Li Jiyi, but I don't know about it, I'm going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire."

Yang Zaisi said in a low voice: "This matter is over, it's better to ignore it."

Li Yan thought of Zhang Yang, but was ready to care: "I still want to ask."

Yang Zaisi immediately said: "There is still some time before dinner, why don't we drop by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Okay!"

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is located in the imperial city, on the edge.

Because the positions inside are all held by eunuchs, and in this era, eunuchs are discriminated against, and they have to walk aside to avoid the smell on their bodies.

Seeing the two officials in scarlet robes entering, the servants greeted them immediately, and after asking about the situation, they hurriedly went to inquire.

Not long after, the result came: "The Qi family died of illness one year after entering the palace, and his daughter also died more than four months ago."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Unfortunately died? Is there no specific way to die?"

The servant showed fear: "It's recorded like this above, and I don't know."

Li Yan waved his hand: "Go!"

Yang Zaisi also felt a little strange, and then showed disgust: "Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs acting so hastily now, using such vague records?"

Li Yan kept it in his heart and didn't say much. After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he first sent a letter to his family, telling Li Dejian and Mr. Xie not to wait for him to eat, and then smiled and said: "Let's go, let's meet again!"

……

"Dry!"

Seeing that the more he drank, Yang Zaisi's eyes became brighter, and he was obviously a natural entertainer. Li Yan was very thankful for his profound skills.

But Yang Zaisi felt very happy: "Yuan Fang is bold, I drank to my heart's content today, so happy!"

Li Yan asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Juyuan, can't we have a drink with you?"

Yang Zaisi waved his hands when he heard the words: "Shen Juyuan will go crazy with alcohol, and when he becomes crazy, he will beat everyone. He can't hold back. He has caused disasters before and almost lost his official position. I don't dare to drink with him. Come on, do it again!"

The two drank a few more cups, Yang Zaisi let out a mouthful of alcohol, showing his drunkenness: "To tell the truth, Yuanfang, I have suffered from being an official, and I was born in the Hongnong Yang family, huh, what a great name, but this famous sect in the country , There are so many sects and countless clansmen, how can everyone be rich? People who are down and out like me have to rely on clansmen to help them at first, and it wasn't until I learned the scriptures that I finally figured it out."

This kind of intimacy, which seems drunk but not drunk, can bring the relationship closer. Li Yan also accompanied the other party to recall the bitterness and sweetness: "When I was in Liangzhou, I was studying in the school at first, and my books were empty, and I was writing hard every day in class. , transcribed the textbook..."

Yang Zaisi was moved by it, and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world sees the brilliance, but how many people know my suffering?"

Li Yan felt blushed when he heard that, if the high-ranking nobles also felt the pain, how would the common people in the world live?
It's really bitter, the princes and princes are all suffering, no one is perfect...

Yang Zaisi shook his head and sighed bitterly for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "Yuan Fang, I heard from the leader Qiu Ge that my Tang Dynasty will send an envoy to Tibet?"

Li Yan nodded: "Mr. Li asks for orders, and the sage has already agreed."

Yang Zaisi's eyes brightened slightly: "The meaning of the leader of the Qiu Pavilion is that you also want to go with me. This mission will make the thieves succumb to our Great Tang Tianwei?"

Li Yan knew that he thought it was a good job, so he reminded: "This trip is dangerous, don't forget, the Tubo ambassador, Nian Zenggu, died in our territory of Tang Dynasty."

Yang Zaisi's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly changed: "Thank you Yuanfang for your suggestion, but if this is the case, why are Li Gong and you?"

Li Yandao: "Some things must be done by someone."

Yang Zaisi got up immediately: "With Li Gong's uprightness, entering the court to pay homage is just around the corner, and at Yuan Fang's age, the future is also a great future. You guys have this courage, and Yang is in awe. Yuan Fang, I respect you!"

Li Yan got up.

The Yang Zaisi in history will also be the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the future. He is very good at being wise and protecting his life.

In the past, Li Yan looked down on this kind of people, but after experiencing Su Weiwei in the scholar's poisoning case, he realized that he couldn't look at them in his youth based on the performance of the characters in history, and his attitude changed.

After Yang Zaisi drank heavily, he thought about it, his face was a little gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "To tell the truth, Yuan Fang, I originally wanted to go with the envoys, but since it is so dangerous, I am so incapable of writing or martial arts. Don't be a burden."

Li Yandao: "Brother Zaisi is humble. With your ability, if you go on an envoy next time, you will definitely have the opportunity to make meritorious service! By the way, does the current Ministry of Rites still have specific records of Ludong's praise of the Tang Dynasty?"

Yang Zai thought for a while: "Yes, Lu Dongzan is indeed an outstanding man. When I was envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he left an impression on the late emperor. Many officials of the Ministry of Rites have also met him."

Li Yandao: "I want to know what kind of person this powerful minister who single-handedly let the Gar family overshadow the sky in Tubo."

Yang Zaisi cheered up: "Okay, I can help with this! Keep drinking!"

Then he fell.

Li Yan smiled.

You have the capacity to drink, but I have magic skills!
But Yang Zaisi was completely paralyzed on the ground, Li Yan waited for a while, and found that this person had the same taste as Su, and he didn't say anything after being drunk.

Originally, he wanted to ask about Shen Juyuan, but now he had to give up. After thinking about it, he planned to send him home in person.

Li Yan has always been easygoing, and he doesn't like to bring servants, so Yang Zaisi didn't bring them.

In this way, Li Yan was not at ease when he asked the boy in the restaurant to send him back, so he called out, "Come on, go and prepare a carriage!"

The person waiting in front of the door immediately went to prepare, but after a while, he saw Mr. Xie walking in: "Yuan Fang!"

Li Yan was stunned: "Uncle? Why are you here?"

Mr. Xie said with a smile: "Yuan Fang doesn't know yet, but this place of reunion in Dongshi is already the property of my Xie family. Your mother wants to transfer it to your name. I wonder if you are willing?"

Li Yan: "..."

Guys, are you going to smash me to death with money?I have never been insulted like this!
The key point is to look at it this way, the behavior just now is very similar to a restaurant persuading people to increase their sales~
He smiled: "Since it's my own restaurant, then I can rest assured and arrange for some safe people to send Yang Jiyi back."

Director Xie immediately called his confidant in charge, carefully helped Yang Zaisi down, and sent him back to Yang's residence.

He didn't sit down until the outsiders had left, looked at the amount of alcohol the two had drunk, and said, "Yuan Fang has a good drinker!"

Li Yandao: "Drink alcohol in moderation, I don't usually drink like this."

Master Xie smiled wryly and said: "I know that too, but the Xie family has been in decline for a long time, and there is no one to rely on, and they are often forced to helplessness, so you can't refuse!"

Li Yan glanced at him, refused to answer, and said calmly: "I may be sent to Tibet as an envoy."

Master Xie's expression changed: "Is this the will of the saint?"

Li Yandao: "It's my own idea. The matter has not yet been completed, and it is still in the preparation stage."

Director Xie wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare, so he became cautious: "Yuan Fang, how can I help you?"

Li Yan asked: "Is it true that most of the people trading with Tubo are Shu merchants?"

Master Xie nodded: "That's right, the land of Shu is closed, but there are things to spare, and there are small roads in the middle of Shu, which can directly reach the territory of Tubo, and there are many exchanges between the two sides."

Li Yandao: "The original official road between my Tang Dynasty and Tubo had to go through the old land of Tuyuhun. Now that Tuyuhun has been swallowed up by the Gar family, Tubo's own territory wants to bypass the Gar family. The land of Sichuan and Shu has become their primary target for trading. Shu merchants benefit, can they help the envoys?"

Mr. Xie hurriedly said: "The businessman sees the profit, so don't entrust big things!"

He became so ruthless that he scolded himself.

But it is also the merchant who knows the merchant best, and knows that those guys may really be collaborating with the enemy and traitorously.

Li Yan nodded slightly: "The land of Shu is close to Guanzhong, so they can't help it, but it's really impossible to get things done if you just blindly intimidate them. What is most lacking in Sichuan?"

Xie Zhangshi said: "Except that the road to Shu is too difficult, the land of Shu is rich in products, and there seems to be no shortage of anything."

Li Yan's eyes moved: "Since the road is difficult and difficult, the Feiqian initiated by the Dou's Chamber of Commerce, have the Shu merchants ever been tempted?"

Xie Zhangshi said: "Of course I am excited. The Shu merchants have long wanted to participate, but they don't trust each other. The Dou Chamber of Commerce must firmly control the Feiqian release. How can the Shu merchants hand over their lifeline to another chamber of commerce? The two sides will collapse. gone."

Li Yandao: "It seems that many people have thought of it long ago, but the actual operation is very difficult. Well, what if Feiqian is issued by the court?"

This sounded casual sentence made Xie Zhang startled for a moment, then his eyes widened and his voice trembled slightly: "Yuan Fang, can this be done?"

Li Yan pondered.

Director Xie held his breath slightly.

The nephew's next words may affect businessmen all over the world!

But judging by his expression, this matter is difficult...

indeed.

The matter of Feiqian is of great importance, should he write directly to Li Zhi?
Or pass through the North Gate Bachelor, first to impress the queen?

Or go to Shaoyang courtyard and ask the prince for a suggestion?
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the troubles of happiness, it is really difficult for Li Yan to choose.
