The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 837 820 Six: Two people stationed in Dengfeng Mansion

After a short time, General Liu came back, and Sun Zhifu met him and said, "General Liu, just now the imperial envoy decided to visit Shaolin Temple tomorrow, so go to the street and buy some gifts for them!

Come back immediately after purchasing, we have to serve the imperial envoy a while later, how can you not participate in such an important event! "

Mr. Liu listened and nodded.

"Yes! Lord Prefect, I'm going now.

My lord, I'm going out now, so what should I buy?
How much money does it cost to have Pu'er? "

"Liu Zongbing, what kind of Pu'er is this! You can handle this matter, it doesn't matter if you spend more or less!
The gift brought by the imperial envoy, how can it be less!
Could it be that you plan to let the imperial envoy take a few packs of snacks with you?Isn't that embarrassing for our imperial envoy? "

As soon as Zongbing Liu heard what Sun Hefu said, he immediately understood what the imperial envoy meant.

"Yes! Yes! I understand what you mean, I just go and do it right away!"

After finishing speaking, General Liu turned around and went out.

Duan Wuji looked at Prefect Sun and said: "I said Prefect Sun, in our place, is there any case that our mansion can't solve?
Bring it up as soon as possible!We will solve it together for you!What do you think! "

The prefect Sun shook his head.

"Master Imperial Envoy, this one case has troubled me to death, how can there be other cases!
If there are other cases, can I still live? "

"Well! If that's the case, that's good!

There's nothing serious about it now, I think we'll just take a break! "

The prefect Sun laughed and said: "My colleagues, since there is nothing else to do now, let's set up tables in this lobby, and the banquets we have ordered will be brought over in a while.

The imperial envoys have just arrived at our place, so we have to clean them up! "

After hearing this, all the officials took action immediately, the one who moved the table moved the table, and the one who lifted the bench lifted the bench!

Immediately, the lobby became lively.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu watched the people packing up, but they didn't say a word!

It wasn't too long, everything was tidied up, and then, the servants of the yamen brought tea first, Sun Zhifu personally poured tea for Duan Wuji and the others, and let the two of them drink first.

The officials also poured tea by themselves, chatting while drinking tea!

The time is not too long, then Liu Zongbing came back cheerfully.

When Sun Zhifu saw it, he quickly asked: "Mr. Liu, have you prepared all the gifts?
Did you get it back?
Did you buy something in total? "

Then Zongbing Liu sat down on the stool.

"Master Zhifu, I have ordered all the goods. I have purchased a total of eight gifts. These are six kinds of delicious snacks. I also have 150 pieces of cloth and a cart of tea.

Since I wanted a lot of things, they couldn't get the goods together for a while.

Do not worry!Before dark, they delivered these things in person.

This will definitely not miss the imperial envoy to use it tomorrow! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mr. Liu, from what you said, it turns out that you must have bought a lot of things!"

"That's needless to say! There are so many monks in Shaolin Temple, if there are too few monks, how can it be enough!
Besides, who are you!You are the imperial envoy!

You go to the Shaolin Temple, you represent our imperial court!How shameful it would be to get a little bit of something!

Don't you think it's such a gift?
This is called Lixian descending to the next world. If we ask for anything at that time, they will not agree to it, and they will be too embarrassed to say anything else.

Imperial envoy, do you think it makes sense? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Well! Now that you have bought everything, what else can I say! Thank you."

"Oh! Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy, isn't it the job of a subordinate official to do these things!

This is for running errands, isn't that what it should be!

If you want to say thank you, that is also the next official, I thank you both!

The magistrate and I have jointly captured those thieves. We have captured them for such a long time, there is nothing we can do!

If you help us catch these three thieves, you will do us a great favor.

To say thank you, that is our thank you Na! "

Ho!This Mr. Liu can really speak!To put it bluntly, Duan Wuji and the others are a little bit smug!
Not too long, a guard ran in.

"Master Zhifu, the guys from Wangxianlou have brought the food box over. When do you think the feast will start?"

The prefect Sun grinned when he heard this.

"All of us are waiting for them here. Since the meal is ready, why don't you hurry up and ask them to bring it in?"

The guard ran out after hearing this, and within a short time, eight men came in carrying dozens of food boxes.

These guys opened the food box and put the dishes inside up one by one!

Duan Wuji saw it, ho!The banquets in this place are no worse than those in Kaifeng and Luoyang!

Every dish is unique!

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Master Zhifu, in order to welcome us, you have to spend money again. This is useless food and drink. To be honest, we really feel a little bit sorry for it!"

"My lord, what are you talking about?

How do you entertain the imperial envoy? The imperial court also has standards. We do this according to the rules.

Imperial Envoy, to be honest, our hospitality standards for you are not exceeded at all!

The imperial court has long stipulated that the reception of officials from above is different for each level of officials.

You are imperial envoys, and the level of hospitality is the highest.

Don't worry, my lord!We make no mistakes. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Well, it's fine if you don't make mistakes.

Colleagues, since the banquet is set up, let's eat. After eating, there will be nothing more to do. "

Duan Wuji and the others knew that if they didn't move their chopsticks first, these people wouldn't dare to eat it.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu picked up their chopsticks and started eating first.

This is to tell everyone that there is nothing wrong with moving chopsticks now.

Sun Zhifu poured wine for Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"Master Imperial Envoy, this is our Henan specialty wine, called Dukang wine, try it, this wine is quite special.

We in Henan can't do other things, but this wine is famous all over the world.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Mengde once wrote a poem: "How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang.

That Dukang refers to this Dukang wine! "

If you don't drink a few glasses of Dukang wine, it means you haven't been to the border of Henan. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Prefect Sun, you are so talented.

This drink can tell so many good stories!No one can compare to you!

Well!Then we brothers will try this Dukang bar!

Save yourself any regrets in the future! "

Sun Zhifu said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, raise your wine bowls. In order to welcome the imperial envoy, everyone made this bowl of wine together!"

After hearing this, all the officials stood up.

"Master Imperial Envoy, you are all welcome to our Dengfeng Mansion."

As soon as the bowl of wine was finished, Mr. Liu filled up the wine for Duan Wuji and Tieniu again.

"Colleagues, my old Liu is a rough man, and he has no culture, so he won't speak in a polite manner like the prefect Sun.

But what!The imperial envoy is here, so I have to say a few words.

If I don't say anything, the imperial envoy should say that I'm not polite.

The reason Duan Qin sent them to our Dengfeng mansion was to arrest those boys, everyone must know.

Let us all wish the imperial envoy a successful start and success in no time. "

After hearing this, all the officials immediately raised their wine bowls.

"My lord imperial envoy is successful in the first place, and he will succeed in no time."

After finishing speaking, the second bowl of wine was also dry.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu filled themselves with wine, and then said with a smile: "The two adults have spoken just now, today I am the imperial envoy, so let me also say a few words!
We toured the world under the imperial decree of the Tang Emperor, mainly to eradicate violence and save the people from suffering and fire.

An Cang was born in danger.

Where there are difficulties, we will solve them one by one!

To be honest, we brothers have been to Dengfeng Mansion many times, and we are quite familiar with this place.

Our two brothers also have some relationship with the Shaolin Temple, my colleagues, follow us to the Shaolin Temple tomorrow!

You are so close to the Shaolin Temple, there are not five hundred monks in that temple!
The thirteen stick monks once bravely rescued the king of Tang. Instead of looking for so many capable people, you waited for our buddies to solve this matter. This is more or less a bit embarrassing! "

After hearing Duan Wuji's words, Sun Zhifu and Liu Zongbing broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the imperial envoy was blaming them!

The prefect Sun wiped the cold sweat off his brow and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, you have wrongly blamed us, the lower officials.

Yes, there is a Shaolin Temple in our place, and we also thought of going to the temple to ask them to help us catch this thief.

However, we begged them a total of three times, and they all refused on the grounds that they would no longer ask about worldly affairs. What can we do about it? "

Duan Wuji frowned upon hearing this!

"Oh? There's such a thing, I'll find them someday! I'll ask them what's going on!

If this Shaolin Temple is really unpatriotic, I will punish them at that time.

They are begging everywhere in our country. If they are not patriotic, what is the use of them!
All right, let's have a drink!

Colleagues, thank you for cleaning up the dust for us brothers today, come on, everyone raise the wine bowl, let's do this bowl again!

After this bowl of wine is finished, it will be the third bowl of wine. Whoever is drinking down can pour it himself!

To be honest, this Henan Dukang wine is really good!

This famous wine is really comparable to our Shanxi Fenjiu! "

When everyone saw that the imperial envoy had changed the topic, their hearts fell to the ground.

After drinking and eating, all the officials bid farewell to Duan Wuji and the others one after another and went home.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu stood up, and the prefect Sun hurriedly said: "You two imperial envoys, I have already arranged your residence.

Two adults, come with me! "

Sun Zhifu winked at Liu Zongbing, and Liu Zongbing also followed.

Sun Zhifu put them into a small courtyard in the Houya residence!
"Master Imperial Envoy, this yard used to be my wife's house. Didn't you come here? I asked her to move to another yard! My lords, let's go! Let's go in and have a look!"

Duan Wuji saw three guards with scimitars standing in the yard, so he knew that these men were wearing them for him.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed them into the room to have a look, ho!This house is really nice.

The ground is covered with blue bricks, and there is a table for the Eight Immortals in the room, and four chairs for the grand master beside the table. There are teapots and tea bowls on the table, as well as two plates of snacks and two plates of fruit.

Of course, the quilts on the bed are not much different from the quilts in other houses, they are the best quilts!

The four sat at the table, and Zhifu Sun poured tea for the four of them, and then brought two bowls and placed them in front of Duan Wuji and Tie Niu.

"Master Imperial Envoy, rest in this place!
Our place is small, and we can't provide you with any good place to rest your body!

Mr. Imperial Envoy, just make do with it! "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"We brothers don't care if this resting place is good or not, as long as there is a bed!

Two adults, let's go to Shaolin Temple to play tomorrow!

It's not a big deal to capture such a few robbers, don't worry about it, how about the thieves in Luoyang Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, haven't our brothers solved it!
Let me tell you that we are here, and this trivial matter will be resolved immediately! "

"My lord, the kung fu of those thieves is not ordinary!

If it was that easy to catch, we would have caught them long ago.

Did it take so much effort!

Maybe the imperial envoy has extraordinary abilities, that's another matter. "

Tie Niu said with a smile: "My lords, if you have nothing to do, you can go to rest early!

After all, we have to hurry tomorrow, do you think it makes sense?
In addition, after the gift ordered by Mr. Liu arrives in a while, you should work hard to load the car.

To save us trouble tomorrow morning.

My lords, I tell you that we will start early tomorrow morning.

After all, it is still far away from the Shaolin Temple!It's about a hundred miles away from us.

We'll get down to business when we get there, and we probably won't be back early tomorrow. "

The Sun Zhifu listened and nodded.

"Well, that's what you're talking about. Don't worry, Mr. Imperial Envoy. We'll take care of this little thing in a while.

Your Excellency, then you can rest.

We both said goodbye. "

After speaking, the two walked out of the room.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu sent them out again out of politeness.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu didn't come back until they left the yard.

When the two returned to the house, they immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

It wasn't until the next day when the sky was about to dawn that the two of them had finished their work!

The two jumped off the bed, practiced their swords against each other in the yard for a while, and practiced boxing and kicking kung fu, and then walked outside.
