I have a roll of fairy pictures

Chapter 16 Chang'an County Government

Huo Taixian opened his eyes in a daze when he heard the words, only to see Xiaochunzi rushing in: "My lord, we are all ready for the carriage to Chang'an County."

"Are you sure you want to go to Chang'an County with me?" Huo Taixian looked at Xiaochunzi with surprise.

"My son, we have been with you for 16 years. When the mistress was alive, we followed her. Wherever the son goes, the villain will go." Xiaochunzi looked at Huo Taixian and grinned.

"It's really intentional." Huo Taixian nodded, and started to straighten his clothes.

Although Xiaochunzi was a bit rude, he had withstood the test of an assassin, so he could handle it.

Huo Taixian tidied up his clothes, then washed his face with clean water unhurriedly: "Let's keep a low profile, go and dismiss the guards and the carriage. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you outside the mansion. Let's go out of the mansion in a carriage, isn't it?" Actively leak traces to others?"

Xiaochunzi was taken aback when he heard the words, and patted his head: "That's the reason."

Dressed in a low profile, the master and servant quietly slipped out through the back door, blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Chang'an County

Chang'an County Government
Wang Tai, the county magistrate of Chang'an, looked at the map of Jiangshan and Sheji spread out on the screen, and his eyes showed seriousness: "It's strange, there is a mythical scroll in Chang'an, and I didn't notice the slightest trace of that mighty man. It's really strange. It is reasonable to say that people have left their seals and geese have left their voices, so why is there no news of such a powerful person living in seclusion in Chang'an?"

The entire boundary of Chang'an was imprinted on the picture scroll, every plant, every tree, every mountain and every river were all clear and lifelike.

But it's just a map of Chang'an's territory.

"My lord, King Duan is here."

Just when thousands of thoughts flickered in Wang Tai's mind, he only heard the quick words from the policeman outside the door.

"Prince Duan? What is he doing here?" Wang Tai frowned, and rolled up the picture of Jiangshan Sheji in front of him:
"Call him in."

He only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, but he saw Duan Wang walking in from outside the door, and saw Wang Tai, so he hurriedly took big steps back, and stepped forward quickly: "Nephew has seen Uncle Wang."

"I've been expelled from the royal genealogy. That's still your uncle. Don't call me that indiscriminately. If those officials in the court know about it, they will have to participate in my book and punish me for being disrespectful. "Wang Tai glanced at Duan Wang, scolded angrily, and then swaggered and sat on that chair.

"I heard that you have been cultivating in Da Nei in recent years, and you seldom go out of the palace, why do you have time to come to my place today?" Wang Tai asked.

"Isn't it because the mythical picture scroll was born the day before yesterday." Duan Wang said.

"It turned out that I came here for the mythical scroll." Wang Tai glanced at Wang Duan, "You should know who I am, I don't care if you come to Chang'an City to find that hermit, but you need to abide by the rules of my Chang'an territory. Otherwise, even if your father is here, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Where. My nephew has already heard about Uncle Wang's temperament, how dare he act presumptuously in Chang'an?" King Duan quickly apologized, then hesitated a bit before saying:

"My nephew has another matter, I want to ask Uncle Wang."

"Tell me about it." Wang Tai said indifferently.

"I heard that Huo Taixian, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is about to enter the Chang'an County Government to take up an official position. Xiao Wang wants to ask Uncle Wang for help to suppress Huo Taixian for three to five years, so that he will not step into the realm of a painter..." Duan Wang carefully chose his words and carefully looked at Wang Tai who was opposite him.

"Bang~"

But there was a loud noise, the table shook and the tea splashed.

Before Duan Wang finished speaking, Wang Tai was already furious:
"My temper is known to everyone in the entire Zhou Dynasty. There are rewards and punishments for crimes. I can clearly distinguish between black and white."

"Boy, do you dare to come to me to instigate and harm others? Get out of here quickly, or I will take your skin off."

Wang Tai's tea hit Duan Wang's chest and sprinkled him all over, so startled that Duan Wang quickly got up and ran away:

"Uncle Wang, calm down! Uncle Wang, calm down! My nephew just asks you to be more flexible. Even if you disagree, why are you so angry?"

Just as he was talking, he turned his head and suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes, a figure blocked his way at some point, Duan Wang directly bumped into that person, and fell to the ground with him.

Let's say Huo Taixian sneaked all the way to the Chang'an County Yamen, and stood at the gate of the Yamen to report. The guard led Huo Taixian to the backyard to register. The two walked through the middle hall and passed the arched door of the backyard. When they turned the corner, a figure suddenly bumped into them. , knocking it to the ground.

Huo Taixian got up, and saw that the man was wearing a purple python robe, he was born heroic and majestic, with a good skin, but a large area of ​​his chest was wet, and his whole face was panicked and somewhat embarrassed.

The two looked at each other, but the other didn't speak, just passed by and ran towards the gate.

Looking at the back of the other party, Huo Taixian showed a look of difference. For some reason, he always felt a little mysterious and unspeakably weird.

Thinking in my heart, the guard next to me hurried forward to help Huo Taixian up: "Mr. Huo, are you alright?"

"It's okay. Who is this person? Why are you running around like this in the yamen?" Huo Taixian patted the dust on his body.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, this person is the prince of the dynasty, the emperor's most beloved son, King Duan." The guard hurriedly lowered his voice.

Huo Taixian was stunned when he heard this.

"Master has already ordered, if you come, go directly to the backyard. You follow me." The guard continued to lead the way.

Huo Taixian didn't ask, but followed behind the other party, with a hint of thought in his eyes.It was just a bump, and he didn't want to cause trouble.Thinking about how embarrassing the water stain on King Duan's chest was, countless conjectures had crossed his mind.

When they arrived at the lobby of the backyard, the guards brought Huo Taixian to him, offered tea and left.

This world does not have the so-called tea in the 21st century. The tea in this world is just some fruit soaked in water.

Such as wolfberry soaked in water, bayberry soaked in water, etc., which are called 'tea'.

Huo Taixian picked up the fruit water and sat in the lobby drinking it quietly. Suddenly he heard footsteps, but saw Wang Tai striding towards the door:

"You boy actually came to me, you are indeed a wonderful person. You are different from other nobles."

"I've met you, sir." Huo Taixian quickly put down the tea, stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Sit down, don't be too polite."

Wang Tai helped Huo Taixian up, then sat down, and looked up and down at Huo Taixian:
"I wronged you before, don't you hate me?"

"My lord is full of passion, but there are few good officials who are not afraid of power and act as masters for the people. Although I misunderstood me and let the culprits go, I admire him very much in my heart, so I can't hate it. I just wish I couldn't follow my lord. , go through fire and water for adults, and seek a blessing for the common people in the world."

"I haven't misjudged these two tricks of my father. You are indeed a wonderful person." Wang Tai laughed when he heard this, and looked Huo Taixian up and down:

"You gave up the title of noble inheritance?"

"The news spread so quickly? The adults already know?" Huo Taixian asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I guessed it." Wang Tai said: "The servants are low-ranking. If you have a noble honor on your body, Huo Jia will never allow you to enter the yamen. And the Chang'an yamen in my district can't arrange a second honor." expensive."

"The villain has already given up the inheritance of the family, and now he has nowhere to go, so he can only ask for a bite of food from the adults, and I hope the adults will take him in." Huo Taixian hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted: "I would like to be a servant of the Chang'an County Government, and I will provide for the adults in the future." dispatch."

"I've heard about the Huo family. You are a poor man." Wang Tai looked at Huo Taixian:
"It's not that simple to just want to be a servant. Do you have the cultivation base? Have you ever been a painter?"

"My family doesn't allow me to touch things about painters." Huo Taixian smiled helplessly.

"Without cultivation, how can we arrest important criminals?" Wang Tai frowned, "Can you read and write?"

"Literacy and hyphenation! Literacy and hyphenation!" Huo Taixian said hastily.

"Then let's be a bookkeeper first." Wang Tai looked at Huo Taixian.

"I...I want to become a servant and learn the skills of a painter." Huo Taixian hurriedly said: "Although I am not a painter, I can learn. I wonder if I can learn the skills of a painter after becoming a writer?"

"You want to learn how to be a painter, why don't you study in the Huo family, or go to an academy? Given your status in the Huo family, it shouldn't be difficult." Wang Tai showed curiosity.

It's just that when he said this, he suddenly remembered what King Duan said earlier, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he had already figured out the reason.

"Being a pen official naturally has the opportunity to learn the skills of painters, but the skills of painters in the county government are different from the methods of orthodox painters. The catchers in the county government use tricks to use up their potential, and it is difficult to prove a master in this life. "Wang Tai looked at Huo Taixian with a serious expression:

"Do you really want to learn?"
