Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 217 Aftermath 2
At the same time, Jiang Tian is in an ordinary-looking teahouse in Shanglinfang in the north of Luoyang City/North Bank of Luoshui.And in front of him was the most popular cup of iced cheese, and the golden crispy mountain as an accompaniment.From the outside, there is a clear and ups and downs speaking ancient voice.

It’s just that the ice cream is as white as snow, sprinkled with candied salt and preserved crumbs, topped with honey and boiled hawthorn juice, which looks red, yellow and white; Sushan Mountain has also completely melted, and there is no longer a hint of pleasant air-conditioning.

However, the several people who accompanied the scene didn't even touch it. They just seemed to be facing a house decorated with grid black-headed doors on the other side of the street.Until the inner middle door suddenly opened, and faint crying sounds came out, as well as some men and women who were faltering and dejected.

This is obviously the family of a city official who was dismissed from office and sent back to his original place.However, the pedestrians in the market seemed to have turned a blind eye to this, and none of them even stopped to watch.On the contrary, everyone present showed relief, relaxation, surprise and sigh.

Because the family that was expelled from the official residence belonged to the Dongdu Branch Division, Dali Temple Shaoqing Pei Yong and his family.Of course, relying on a family relationship alone, it is impossible to directly bring down the fifth-rank Shaoqing of Dali Temple; but this time, the Daozhengfang Pei family in Chang'an made a move.

In a sense, this Pei Shaoqing of Dongdu Division and Pei Mansion of Daozhengfang are also the source of the same surname Shuzong.It's just that one has already established a separate family, and the other is a sporadic branch of Wenxi's main family in Wenxi, so he got some help in his early scientific examinations and official career.

However, this time, Pei Yong didn't make good friends with Jiang Tian, ​​who was the guest of Pei's family, on the surface; on the contrary, he showed inexplicable malice and conspiracy in secret.Although there may be hidden secrets, it also greatly angered the family of the Pei family of Daozhengfang who had a good relationship.

Therefore, under some kind of behind-the-scenes that is not humane, under repeated operations and trade-offs, exchanges and compromises.Some of the old things of this Pei Sixing were dug out and added layer by layer; he could only swallow the bitter fruit and price, and sadly bid farewell to his official career.

And Jiang Tian, ​​who was specially invited to come here just to witness this scene, also took up the ice cream that completely melted the mixed colors of the city, drank it in one gulp, and nodded to the clansman named Pei Shaoxi in front of him: "In that case , then I would like to thank the family, and this matter will stop here."

"Thank you, Mr. Size." Pei Shaoxi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the words, because, according to the news and instructions sent urgently from the other side of the family; But there will be more unspeakable follow-up things will happen.

Linghu Xiaomu, who witnessed the whole process as an escort, took a deep breath; trying not to lose his composure on the spot.She was not only startled by the energy displayed by the Pei family behind the scenes; but also because of the fact that the other party's family valued so much, she was faintly frightened and afraid.

If, if he had brought his adoptive father Zhang Yu to the door, Zhang's marriage was not to make friends with him immediately; but to use this method of instigating others to test out the depth of the other party; How much better will it be than this Pei Shaoqing.

This is the official official of Dongdu under the fifth rank, the second of the nine ministers.In contrast, although Wu Desi's marriage officer is well-known, those who can be deterred and manipulated are those low-level foreign officials and subordinates. Be careful.

In contrast, in the past few nights, she has been inexplicably sleeping very well; then she woke up at dawn, lying in the arms of this man in a daze; her clothes were neat as if something had happened, but nothing seemed to happen The strange state; but it is nothing.

Because there are too many secrets in this man.And Linghu Xiaomu, who is a member of the Wu De Division, was ordered to come here for this; therefore, she herself is an inevitable part of paying the price for this.But now, she couldn't help but come up with some new ideas.

If they are just the children of a good family, even if they just have food and clothing, who is willing to fall into Wu Desi's mixed fish and dragons, or a big dyeing vat full of mud and sand?It's like this man said, how can there be so many unprovoked benefits and goodwill in this world?

Those relatives of Wu Desi pulled them up from the low-level bureaucrats and even the prostitution, and cultivated them as effective subordinates and operators; it was just to use up their greatest value.No one would want to know where most of them went after being eliminated.

Only those who are particularly alert and discerning will seize the few opportunities, survive the competition of intriguing peers, and stand out after passing various tests.Of course, the greatest asset and strength of being a female member is undoubtedly her own beauty and beauty.

Therefore, after becoming official members of Wu Desi, quite a few of them will learn some ways of serving and courtesies; then, with various identities and opportunities arranged in advance, they will marry into the homes of officials, wealthy businessmen, and famous scholars. Serve as a long-term latent eyeliner in a sense.

And those who are luckier will meet the right person in Wu Desi afterwards.Then, on the grounds of cooperating with business affairs, it became a de facto cohabitation.Then ask to arrange an identity to go to another place, use the cover of running a family business and craftsmanship, and continue to act as a hidden stake and eyeliner on the periphery.

Only those with outstanding specialties and potentials will be retained and become one of the more comprehensive Wude Division outer courtyard children (field personnel).Fortunately for Linghu Xiaomu, she met a relative Shangguan Zhang Yu who had just been replaced and was seriously lacking in reliable subordinates.

Those who are also willing to take a long time to catch big fish agree to shelter and cultivate her in the name of adoptive father for a while, in order to obtain the maximum one-time return in the future.Of course, according to the agreement, if she can't find the greatest value and use for herself, then she can only be recycled.

However, as she has grown older over the years, even the most inconspicuous men's clothing can hardly conceal her figure and appearance; those young and vigorous "brothers" are always in front of her intentionally or unintentionally. Express, or even get close to and tease her, that's all.

But Zhang Yu, the nominal adoptive father, looked at her with more and more complicated and strange eyes.Especially the aunts in the other party's family, after seeing her come to greet her and ask for instructions, they also spoke in a strange way; so Linghu Xiaomu suddenly understood something.

So, under her deliberate laissez-faire and construction, some flattering and smoky comments began to be vaguely spread; however, some colleagues who wanted to get ahead and even used extraordinary methods against her , there will be sudden accidents or unspeakable secrets.

However, at this time, adoptive father Zhang Yu unexpectedly stepped forward and blocked most of the private accountability and coercion for her.Therefore, there were also rumors that she was named Zhang's adopted daughter, but she was actually a forbidden child; and Linghu Xiaomu's reward was to follow him and risk his life several times.

Originally, she just wanted to wait until everything couldn't be dragged on any longer, so she could find a chance to fulfill the original agreement with this adoptive father; sell herself for the best price, and try to be a stable caged bird, that's all.But Jiang Sheng, who was born out of nowhere, gave her another choice.

That was the obsession she had always hidden in her heart.At the beginning, every clerk employed by the Wu De Division had a chance to rename himself and be incorporated into the household registration; but she chose the well-known Linghu family that made her worry about her.

Linghu Xiaomu was thinking about how to selectively report what he had seen and heard to Wu Desi.Seeing that Jiang Tian had already got up and left, he hurriedly followed.After bidding farewell to Pei Shaoxi at the teahouse, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going next?"

"Next, I don't need to go anywhere. Let's go for a stroll in Beishi." Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "I'm afraid we won't have much time left when we stay in Luodu. Let's buy some souvenirs first ( Souvenirs), pack your bags and get ready to go back to Chang'an!"

"Back to Chang'an? Why is that?" Zhang Wusheng, who was at the side, spoke out: After all, these days, he has only done well, and he has found some sense of accomplishment. Lots of interesting or unique characters.

"Dare to ask the officer, isn't there still a follow-up investigation?" Li Huan, another follower, also interjected: "Is it going to be abandoned halfway because of this?"

"We have investigated three companies this time, and the imperial court has dealt with two, and the remaining one is not so simple." Jiang Tian said lightly: "If my prediction is correct, I believe someone will come forward and close the case soon. And send it to my life. Because some people in the court don't want us to continue on this matter."

After all, the other party, as the most important observation and defense envoy of the Eastern Capital of the world, is analogous to the head of the garrison of the magic capital in later generations;It is far more important than the eldest princess of Anyang who is said to be living in seclusion to recuperate from illness, or Pei Shaoqing who was deposed.

After splashing dirty water in the name of "beast disaster" and liquidating the two families in disguise; whether it is the dignity of the court or the rules of system operation, it is unlikely to touch the other party easily.There is a high probability that someone will come out and plead guilty, and then pay a large amount of compensation to expose the matter officially.

Of course, making enemies or making enemies in private is another matter entirely.Thinking of this, Jiang Tian said again: "Remember our responsibilities, after all, we still have to deal with and solve the animal disasters and mutations that poison the people, instead of entangled in the right and wrong of these officials."

After that, it was like being hit by Jiang Tian's words.When he led a group of followers, he hired a donkey cart and returned with a full load of lake silk, Yueluo, Tianzhu Baidie and overseas fragrant medicine in the nearby Luodubei City; , met a lieutenant.

It was Lin Zike, the young envoy of the Huangmen who introduced His Majesty back then.However, he did not take out the edict or decree, but after taking another look at Linghu Xiaomu, who was dressed in men's clothes, he narrowed his eyes and smiled; "Congratulations to Jiang Daizhao, but there is a happy event. Delivered to the door."

"Why do you like it?" Jiang Tian couldn't help being stunned:
"King Guangling has a jewel in his palm," Lin Zike said with an even more beaming smile, "I have regarded him as a treasure since I was a child, but he has both talent and appearance, waiting for the right age..."
