The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 97 Geng's Lu

I don't know where the cicadas are singing, and the corners of the palace eaves are neighing. The sky is shining, and the figures of the two old people are dragging slowly along the palace road. When they are approaching the gate of the imperial city, the words of the son-in-law are heard.

"Things haven't reached that point yet, Mr. Lu, don't be impatient."

Yu Cong knew that this old man had a strong temper, and he would definitely do such a thing at that time, so he couldn't do anything to dissuade him. He pursed his lips, raised his hands, and arched towards Lu Xie wordlessly.

Putting aside the upcoming war and the troubled court, the two will also talk about the assassination at the fifth watch today, and of course they also mentioned a person.

"This person is actually a thousand-mile steed. I will meet him later. Those who have meritorious deeds should be rewarded. Don't make people feel cold. While still in this position, let's support him a little bit more."

"Haha, the man I heard from the son-in-law is really interesting and has good abilities. It's best to disgust that treacherous eunuch!"

"Then Lu Xiang, come with me?"

"No, there are still a lot of things going on in the mansion, plus the body is not good enough to be bumpy."

"Well, let's say goodbye."

"Go slowly, son-in-law."

Walking out of the gate of the imperial city, the two arched their hands towards each other, then got into their respective carriages, parted ways and drove in opposite directions. The long street in the past was full of pedestrians, noisy and angry.

The neighborhood is bustling and bustling, and the shopkeepers walking around the streets are carrying their loads and yelling loudly; the woman fetching water struggles to twist the rope, pull up the clear water, tilt her head and scold the running children, then turn around and pour the clear water barrel.

In Yong'an Square, where the woman was, someone walked into a certain courtyard, bypassed the fox flying past with its tail dragging, and went straight to the walnut tree by the courtyard wall, approaching the figure under the tree.

"Mr. Geng, there is indeed someone outside, do you want to ask the brothers to invite him in for a cup of tea?"

"Tea? I already gave it to my father."

Geng Qing cut the wooden peg, put it across the tip of his nose, and carefully checked whether it was even. In his voice, the old man Geng, who was weaving the fence over there, froze for a while, turned his head to look at the teapot on the small table next to him, and freed his fingers refer to.

"There's a little left, why don't you take it to him?"

This remark caused the surrounding martial arts practitioners to burst into laughter, and someone bared his arms and shouted: "Go, catch that sneaky guy."

"You can't beat him." "Then go together! Don't talk about the rules of the world."

Geng Qing put down the wooden peg in his hand, pressed his hands towards them, and then stopped the noisy words. He smiled and patted the dust on his hands and got up, and walked to the gate of the courtyard while talking.

"What are you shouting about? That's a guest. Besides, it's not bad luck to be rough at the door! Everyone hurry up, or the monthly fee will be deducted."

"Not afraid!"

I don't know who shouted, and it caused another commotion.In the noisy voice, Geng Qing shook his head, walked out of the courtyard door with a smile, followed Dou Wei's guidance, and came to the tea shop diagonally opposite. I knew there was a bandage wrapped inside.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Shujiu, who was drinking from a cup, seemed to know that someone was coming, so he was not too surprised. He drank all the tea, took the teapot and poured another cup, and pushed it to the young man sitting next to him.

"Come here and have a look. Mr. Geng won't mind, will you?"

"No, now can I see how many people are in Geng's family?" After experiencing the incident with the Shatuo people, although Geng Qing is still afraid of life and death, his courage to face danger is much higher than before. After all, self-regulation , but a necessary ability for elite sales.

"How about it, trust me now and move the whole family to Chang'an?"

Chen Shujiu nodded, the young man in front of him rescued his group, the man was naturally grateful, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the head, and followed all the way, and it was indeed as the other party said, this was not a lie, it was just knowing that the other party What he did in Feihu County, every time he saw him smile, Chen Shujiu always felt terrified in his pores, as if he had been stripped naked, and opened up to the other party unguardedly.
"The head is here today, so it's inconvenient for me to speak."

As he said that, the man suddenly put down the empty cup, stood up and cupped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, sir, for saving me."

"Thank you, it's just a sale. After the transaction is over, you don't owe me, and I don't owe you."

Geng Qing waved his hands indifferently, he didn't have the slightest appreciation for these Jianghu people, including that Miss Tang, and her master Zhuang Renli, if it wasn't for the connection of interests, he wouldn't bother to get involved.

Just when he was about to speak, a carriage came slowly and stopped at the courtyard gate. Geng Qing closed his mouth and turned his head to look at the old man who came down. The latter looked around, and the young man met his eyes and walked away with a smile Go to the door, stand there with your hands behind your back and don't go in.

"Brother Chen, the limelight will be better in two days, and I will go to pay a visit to the head of the village."

After issuing the eviction order, Chen Shujiu looked at the old man whose figure was hidden by the carriage, clasped his fists and nodded, and then was led by Dou Wei out of the tea shop and turned to a nearby alley.

Here, Geng Qing paid the tea money, got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, arching his hands: "Geng Qing pays his respects to the son-in-law. Why doesn't the son-in-law go in?"

"The master's house is outside, as a guest, how can he enter privately?"

The old man laughed twice, Geng Qing invited him in, but just waved his hand.

"Just now I was joking, the old man won't go in and sit in it. When I come to you, I have something to say to my lord, come here."

An old man and a young man walked to the chariot, but Yu Cong sized Geng Qing up without opening his mouth.

"As for the assassin, you have a strategy and you are a person who can do practical things. Your Highness has not misunderstood it. Since you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded. I originally wanted to send you to Shang Shusheng, but today, Shang Shuxing is afraid that he will be weakened. , Instead of going in and doing nothing, it is better to go to another place to experience it first."

Geng Qing blinked, rarely interrupted, and quietly listened to what the old man said behind him.

"The old man knows that you have never read a book and are illiterate. If you can learn to read and write in the county government office, you are naturally gifted. However, there are too many people with high eyesight and low abilities in Shangshu Province. There are many people who suppress the latecomers. Besides, you did not enter the court through the imperial examination. , will be criticized. The old man is thinking, it is better to enter the Ministry of Punishment first, where there are warriors and civil servants, and the environment is relatively better."

Ministry of punishment?

Why did it have something to do with 'punishment' again? Before Geng Qing could get entangled, Yu Cong saw him silent and thought he agreed, so he got into the chariot, went inside and lifted the curtain and said, "The Ministry of punishment is also there." It happens that there is a shortage of manpower, there were originally 19 officials, but now there are only eight available, you can just fill some of the vacancies, and after a while, the old man will promote you."

"Thank you consort!"

Geng Qing cupped his hands to express his thanks, and watched the old man leave in the carriage, waving his hands and saying goodbye. Then he leaned against the door frame with his hands down and frowning, and went to Chang'an to seek an official position. Small
Rather, when he was still in the future, he worked in 26 companies, and each company began to experience various problems and go bankrupt within a year.

Geng Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the deserted street, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but take a breath.

'Hiss, was my mother Uncle Liu in her previous life, or Lu Ma? '
