Tang Qi Tan

After coming out of Bei Nei, Jiang Tian turned to Prince Pu's Mansion along the way.Although the late King Pu seemed to have made a mistake, at least he made a lot of effort in the invisible to complete his task; he even used himself as a bait in the end to test out possible black hands behind the scenes.

Therefore, based on emotion and reason, I have to find a chance to rest in peace and express my grief for the elders around me who died on the road of pursuing the truth.However, after Jiang Tian handed over the name card outside the gate of the palace, the side door was quickly opened by the top and bottom of the palace, and he was ushered in solemnly.

Then, he was driven all the way straight in, passing through many annexes of the front courtyard and the back house, and finally came to a place where the strong smell of incense could be smelled from a distance.At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly understood that this is the family temple of Prince Pu's Mansion; in ordinary people's homes, it is the so-called ancestral hall.

But this family temple with three shelves and five rooms, at this moment, the middle door is wide open, people can vaguely see the gods and portraits inside, and there are several rows of men, women, old and young in the vestibule; The still wealthy and suave Prince Pu's son Li Cunhuan stood at the front.

"This is Supervisor Jiang, and the benefactor of our family." Seeing that he couldn't hide his pain and sorrow, he took the initiative to meet Jiang Tian's arm, and introduced loudly to the people behind him: "According to father The king's last order can be regarded as the same as the family, do you all remember it?"

"..." At this moment, Jiang Tian was a little embarrassed and ashamed when he heard the words; After introducing and getting acquainted with each other one by one, all the descendants and clan members of Prince Pu's mansion came.

In the end, amidst a sea of ​​sideways and complex eyes and gazes, Jiang Tian was led into the family temple; he stood under a reserved blank tablet.Then he retreated to the left and right, and slightly cupped his hands to Jiang Tian and said imploringly: "The lonely family makes its own decisions, and please don't be offended by the supervisor."

"Father's whereabouts are still unknown, but His Royal Highness has returned to the palace safely..." Then, he explained again: "I can only follow my father's order and proceed to this point; the next follow-up opportunity can only be relied on The Supervisory Commissioner acts on his own, and cannot intervene too much."

"But if you have free time, the supervisor might as well come to the mansion for a walk." Then he took out another jade tablet and said: "Although the lonely family is not easy to get help from, but thanks to the grace of heaven these years, there are still some surplus wealth. In the future But if there is a need, just ask people to go to 'Shun Changlian' (Flying Money Square) to withdraw."

Well, it seems that Prince Pu is determined to recognize this perverted relative.And Jiang Tian really didn't know how to reject and justify.Could it be that you have found the wrong person? In fact, Zhenzhu Ji gave birth to twin daughters instead of twin daughters?

Even so, Jiang Tian took advantage of the opportunity to accept the jade medal, so that he could feel at ease.After all, Jiang Tian can somewhat understand his current position and embarrassment; especially in the case of the old Pu Wang, who is rich in prestige and seniority, only disappeared rather than died.

As the prince's son, the resources and power he can use in a legitimate way are actually far worse than before.Being able to invite myself to be a guest in the family temple, and even go into the room to introduce a group of family members; this is already considered a rather outrageous attitude and a clear position on the official level.

On the other hand, Prince Pu's Mansion is really rich, very rich.Among the many clans in the world, the lineage of King Pu with a transcendent status, in addition to the rewards and bestowments of the emperors of the past dynasties, has also accumulated considerable resources and contacts because of serving as Zongzhengqing/Da Zongbo many times;
Not to mention other private income, just within the five clothes of the emperor under the control of Zongzheng Temple, hundreds of thousands of clan members' annuities and support expenses, as well as clan products and other industries all over the famous cities of Wangyi; A decimal point is an impressive astronomical figure.

Therefore, although Jiang Tian could not want this windfall money that he could withdraw at any time, he had to accept this kindness.In other words, he can rely on his own strength to basically ignore most of the world's sophistication, but he might as well use this to unite all available forces.

Let alone whether he knew anything, or what King Pu explained before he left?But under normal circumstances, it is not just a one-sided show of favor or favor in the world; if there is nothing to repay over time, it is easy to develop a rebellious mentality of "promoting kindness and fighting against each other".

Relationships are easier to maintain and consolidate in the interaction between each other.Just like Jiang Tian may not need it, but the elder sister who has been silently supporting and giving behind the scenes, or the Daozhengfang Pei family who has stood up for her many times, also needs feedback and rewards...

When Jiang Tian was riding through the bustling and bustling market full of thoughts, he suddenly heard a burst of noise, and then the pedestrians, carriages and horses in front of him stopped temporarily.Immediately, these people who were blocked on the street looked forward to a certain direction.

Amidst the faint sound of drums and musical instruments, a seasonal float with a height of ten feet, led and cleared by a dozen flag-carrying riders, slowly passed the specially emptied side street.And on the float, there were still people shouting and yelling with ups and downs and long tones...

It is like the advertising streetcar of the later generations, and it is also like the trumpet publicity vehicle for the government to issue notices, and even the broadcasting vehicle for politicians to campaign on the street.Of course, this is also a major feature of this era, and it is one of the legacy left by the senior traveler, and it is also a major advance of Jingzhao Mansion.

Chang'an is a highly commercially developed metropolis, with 220 shops and tens of thousands of shops in Dongshi alone.Therefore, as long as you have a legal business identity or a background issued by the guild, you can theoretically apply for a savanna parade corresponding to the market and time period.

That is, the commercial advertisement behavior of parading on the street; so later, the parade of sound and hearing was no longer limited to ordinary business behavior, but expanded to other industries and classes.For example, the Jingshi Jockey Club, the Polo and Cuju Federation, the sword fighting organized by the Jinghua Society, and so on.

Even the head of the society in Pingkangli organizes a street parade for each of the newly-listed scholars; or it is also the large and small temples, nunneries, gymnasiums and pavilions in Beijing to promote various gardens and gardens held by themselves. Fairs and festive viewing activities; regular water and land rituals and Luotian Dajiao.

Therefore, even if it was far away, Jiang Tian, ​​who was waiting on horseback, heard it very quickly, and this caused a hot topic on the street: "The imperial court held the world's number one athletics meeting in advance," "Selected the world's domestic, four barbarian and nine Beside, the warriors of Pingfan, the princes..."

However, after hearing the exact news again, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel his heart move again.It seems that those elders in the imperial court are no longer satisfied with the current situation, but want to gather more talents from all over the world?Or is it simply someone trying to do something with it?
Jiang Tian looked at the bustling street market again, those peddlers who were busy making a living, or all kinds of people who were enjoying life, as if they had not been affected much by the Autumn Hunting Day Camp Incident; suddenly felt that sometimes ignorance is also a fundamentals of happiness.

The next moment, his thoughts were interrupted.Because someone in the crowd briefly contacted through one of the followers who followed, and sent Jiang Tian a note with a specific symbol on it.Afterwards, according to the reminder of the note, Jiang Tian turned around two alleys and came to a nearby Lifang street.

After taking a few glances at the environment, I walked into a roadside tea shed; the ground made of gravel here still has low-lying water; simple and crude charcoal stoves, blackened tin pots, grinding Several furnishings of bare wooden plates and patterned pottery bowls appear "clean and hygienic".

And on the sparse earthen altar "Elegant Seat" among them, there is only a chunky and stocky figure drinking tea soup with his back facing Jiang Tian's impressive grunt; He recognized the man's identity immediately.

As a few civilians scattered from all directions, they happened to occupy the corner of the tea shed; basic vigilance was maintained.Only then did Jiang Tian sit down, scooped up a large spoonful of thick tea stalks and raised it to his mouth, facing the person who still hadn't turned his head, asked, "What can I teach you about Zhang's marriage?"

That's right, he was the first to have a relationship with Jiang Tian, ​​and he was also Linghu Xiaomu's adoptive father, Wu Desi Marriage Officer Zhang Yu; but later, with Linghu Xiaomu's mediation, he never saw each other again.Now it looks like he is darker than before, and he seems to have peeled off a layer of skin.

"It makes you laugh at me. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold this position for long." Zhang Yu, who was sitting with his back facing him, put down his teacup and laughed at himself: "In this case, I have nothing to shy away from. A piece of news I overheard, I want to ask you for a small favor..."

"Please tell me about Zhang's marriage?" Jiang Tian said calmly: "Although I never owe others' favor easily, if your news is important enough, it is not impossible to consider."

"Actually, this news is about the nobles." Zhang Yu couldn't help but relax his back and shoulders when he heard the words: "I learned by chance from an old friend of our company that the official Shangsan, who was transferred by Zheng Zhizhi, was in command. A number of people suspected of being in the Li Xingyuan were secretly detained in secret."

"People from Lixingyuan? Are you sure?" Jiang Tian frowned when he heard the words: "You know, all the staff in the Xijing Branch are under my order, and there is no shortage of staff? No It could be someone else who faked it, or..." The next moment, he suddenly fell silent.

Because Jiang Tian thought of another possibility; since he was not a member of the Xijing Lixingyuan/Dark Walking Department under his jurisdiction, it was undoubtedly that he appeared in the Forbidden Garden the night before yesterday, as the fleeing His Royal Highness, secretly responding And support, the team from Dongdu.

"Your news is very important to me, and I owe you a favor." Jiang Tian immediately said decisively: "Or, what kind of conditions you want to realize this is fine. However, I need more detailed and exact circumstances ..."

Immediately after receiving the letter, Zhang Yu took out a fold of sticky notes soaked in sweat and tea from under his feet without hesitation.At the same time, he said: "I just want to be able to return to the countryside to retire in peace. You know that we are from the Wu Desi, and there are too many relationships and right and wrong involved."
