Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

chapter 49

Time is about to enter November, winter is coming quietly, and a capillary snow has already fallen in the north.In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since Wang Yu came to Kyoto.

Although there was only less than a month left before the task period to find out the truth, Wang Yu was not in a hurry.

All this, as long as there is a breakthrough, everything is relatively simple.This breakthrough was not found by Wang Yu, but Zhao Gao was the first to discover the clue.

The current Wang Yu is indeed a little immature compared to Zhao Gao's old yin gangster!

The matter had to start from the day of the Drunk Dream Building. Wang Yu did not believe that this incident was a coincidence, and it was even more impossible for Zhao Gao, who hid in the dark after being summoned by Wang Yu.

After that incident, Wang Yu was staring at the fourth prince who had behaved abnormally on that day, but it was impossible for Wang Yu to interrogate the dignified prince.Every time I went to test, the other party didn't say a few words, and he could test out a woolen thread!

However, Zhao Gao did not focus on the Fourth Prince, but on Lu Chong, more precisely on Cheng Zhe who led Lu Chong to the Drunk Dream Tower.

Later, I don't know what method Zhao Gao used. After investigating Cheng Zhe, he first discovered that this kid is a person of the prince on the surface, but secretly the eldest prince is still connected.Not only with the eldest prince, but also with another key figure, the fourth prince.

Even, after knowing that Cheng Zhe likes to make friends with martial arts people, especially those with strong martial arts, Zhao Gao also sent Xuan Jian to his door.

It's not to hope that Xuan Jian can find out, the other party is not a fool, and it is impossible to gain the other party's trust in such a short period of time, but to let Xuan Jian hide, such a person who is among the princes, maybe in the future. What's the use?

Seeing that Zhao Gao handled things so neatly, Wang Yu simply handed over this matter to him to investigate!
But today, Wang Yu has another thing to do. His prospective father-in-law, Bai Shang, has already returned to the capital. It is reasonable that he should go to see him as soon as possible.

"Let's go!" Taking advantage of the lack of classes today, Wang Yu changed into more formal clothes and was about to go to the White House.And the person in front of him is Wang Yuan's big housekeeper and one of Wang Yuan's confidants. Today, he is the one who came to pick Wang Yu to the Wei residence.

The carriages roamed the bustling streets, the splendid sunlight shone among the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt eaves, the high-flying shop signs and flags, the sparkling The chariots and horses that came, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the peaceful and comfortable smiling faces all spoke of the prosperity of Kyoto, which was in stark contrast to what Wang Yu saw and heard on the way to Kyoto.

In the past, although Wang Yu was often dragged by Zhao Kuangwei and the others to wander around the capital, it was only in the evening or at night at that time that it was quite different from the bustling day, each with its own flavor. .

On both sides of the street, there are tea houses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, everything, and there are many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.

The street stretches from east to west, until it reaches the quieter suburbs outside the city, but there are still pedestrians on the street: some people are rushing on the road, some people drive ox carts to deliver goods, some people drive donkeys to pull trucks, some people stop to watch Liujing. river view.

With the tall tower as the center, the houses on both sides are row upon row, including tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.

The carriage passed through the central street, and a huge city wall made of huge bluestones appeared. The city wall was nearly ten meters high, just like the majestic and continuous mountains, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

Passing through here is the inner city. Only people who have reached a certain status can live here. Many yamen at all levels are also placed here, and their royal family's Kyoto courtyard is also in the inner city.The place just passed by is where the outer city is located. The outer city is mainly a gathering place for commoners or some wealthy businessmen.

Within the inner city, there is still the imperial city.Since it is an imperial city, it is naturally where the palace is located.

Compared with the prosperity of the outer city, the inner city is relatively quiet. Although there are still various shops on both sides of the small road, it is obvious that all of them are high-end clubs, unlike the outer city, where guests come and go.

After the carriage passed the gate of the inner city, it continued to drive north. The mansion of the Minister of Rites was a place on the north side of the inner city.

Wang Yu got off the carriage and led the housekeeper into the White Mansion.After all, there is a marriage contract between the two families, so Wang Yuan has many contacts with Bai Shang on weekdays.

Wang Yuan's housekeeper and the servants in the Bai mansion also recognized them. In addition, they had already received the news that the future uncle would come to visit today. Therefore, they were led in without wasting any time at the mansion gate. .

In the civil service system of the Great Cang Dynasty, in addition to the prime ministers left and right, there are six ministers, and this status is definitely a high-ranking member of the court.It's just that it's hard to imagine that Bai Shang's house is so simple, not to mention that it is far inferior to that of General Zhendong's mansion.

The Minister of Rites, Bai Shang, did not come from any aristocratic family. He was just an ordinary Confucian scholar. Based on the philosophy of learning and becoming an official, he participated in two imperial examinations before and after, but he was reduced to escort.

However, it can only be said that the time has come. Bai Shang, who should have had a slim career, met the nobleman of his life after the second imperial examination, the then Prince Rui, who is now Emperor Da Cang.

At that time, Prince Rui was actually not outstanding among the candidates competing for the throne, and he did not have much advantage. However, it is undeniable that this person's methods were indeed strong, and in the end he really made it happen. Flip it over.

This matter seems to have something to do with Wang Yu's cheap father.However, Wang Yu is not very clear about this history.Many of the things that happened back then were taboos. Since they were taboos, naturally no one would come to talk to Wang Yu about these things.

As for Bai Shang, although he was unfavorable twice in the imperial examinations, since he was selected by Emperor Cang, who was still in the state of Qianlong, he quickly shone his light and accomplished a lot of great things for Emperor Cang.

Even in the counterattack later in the arena, Bai Shang had a lot of meritorious deeds.

Otherwise, Bai Shang would not have started to rise up step by step after Emperor Cang ascended the throne, and in just over 20 years, he had already become a high-ranking official like one of the six ministers.

Even, Bai Shang, who was born as an ordinary Confucian scholar, later married the daughter of the Xu family in the six great families.He secretly formed a marriage with the General's Mansion in the east of their town.

It can be said that more than 20 years ago, not only the Cang Emperor showed a counterattack, but also Bai Shang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, also showed a counterattack.
