Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 73
Pingkangfang, Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Linfu couldn't sleep well during the day with his worries in mind, he only slept for more than an hour and then got up, and asked someone to ask about Yang Shenjin's case.

Dali Temple Minister Li Daoxi gave him face, and quickly sent someone to send the dossier, and he was very surprised after reading it.

"How could this be? How dare you link everything up with Yang Shenjin? Wouldn't the case be closed immediately?!"

——The case is closed, how can the truth take the opportunity to deal with Donggong? !
"Right Prime Minister, this file was determined by the sage's personal interrogation..."

Li Linfu was uncertain because of this, knowing that he was caught off guard by the East Palace, and the aftermath of the Liu Ji case and the case of the dead man in Longyou ended.

The point is, what does the sage think?Just refuse to abolish the prince.

He wished he could enter the palace to make a speech in person, "The sage is too confused! Li Heng looks respectful and filial, but in reality he is vicious and ruthless. He is definitely not a good candidate."

I sent someone to inquire again, but learned that the saint had summoned Xue Bai before he made up his mind.

It was Xue Bai again.

After that, Princess Xianyi sent someone to send the deed he wanted to see to the right minister's mansion.

"On June 25th, the [-]th year of Kaiyuan, the supervisor of the Shaofu said that Xue Ruo's son Xue Pingzhao was sitting against the crime. He was five years old and was betrayed by Zhang's wife Tan Yu..."

Li Linfu didn't recognize the word "婜", frowned slightly, and then looked at the record of the second deed, it was Tianbao's five-year winter moon, which was sold from the Tan family to Princess Xianyi.

He took a closer look and found that Tan's two handprints were not the same... It meant that it wasn't that Tan sold Xue Pingzhao, and Princess Xianyi's purchase of an official slave this time did not comply with Tang laws at all.

I was considering who to hand it over to investigate, and someone outside the door communicated.

"Ah Lang, Xue Ling brought his son Xue Bai to visit."

"doing what?"

"It's called...it's called to propose a marriage."

Li Linfu was taken aback for a moment, and soon understood Xue Bai's meaning, which was to give the Right Prime Minister's House a face.

However, Li Linfu was narrow-minded, and after receiving this kindness, he became more and more jealous in his heart, and secretly said: "This son still has this city, and it will be a serious disaster in the future, so we must get rid of it."

Of course, if Xue Bai doesn't come, he will be even more jealous when someone chews on the right minister's tongue.

That is to say, there are too many people to kill now, Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi, Li Shizhi, Pei Kuan... Xue Bai, an official slave, can't be ranked in front of him, and we can talk about it after Yang Hui finds out the mastermind behind it.

~~
"Seventeen girls!"

Mian'er ran across the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hurried into the boudoir, "Seventeen Niang, Mr. Xue Lang has come to propose marriage!"

This little maid didn't know about the accident of this marriage, her eyes were bright, and her face was full of joy.

Jiaonu was thinking why he didn't send him over to stare at Xue Bai, when he heard this, he stood up.

Li Tengkong was still in a daze. Hearing the news, his eyes widened in surprise and he ran straight out.

In fact, she had conveyed Xue Bai's words to Grandpa, "Whether there is hatred or not, it depends on the right minister", and said that Xue Bai had no resentment at all, and what Princess Xianyi said must be wrong.

All he got was a rebuke.

"Idiot, the more he seems to have no resentment, the more vicious his heart is!"

But Xue Bai still came to propose marriage, and she really hoped that Grandpa could meet him.

Maybe it's because she trusts Xue Bai too easily, but she still thinks it's just in case, if grandpa can be persuaded by him, even if she is only tolerant and open-minded this time in her life...

"Grandpa!"

"Seventeen Niang, go back."

Several healthy women came back from the path and directly carried the thin Li Tengkong into the boudoir.

"The people who came to hire have been driven away by A Lang, and A Lang ordered you to be grounded for a month."

Li Tengkong couldn't struggle. Looking at the vast Youxiang Mansion, he couldn't feel any freedom.

Her grandpa really won't change...

~~
Xue Bai glanced at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, then led the horse and left.

Although it was an unexpected break with Li Linfu, it will be even more dangerous in the future.But after leaving Suo Douji, he felt much more relaxed.

Xue Ling was very disappointed and kept yelling.

"My Xue family is also a famous family..."

"Are you going to gamble again?" Xue Bai walked towards Qingmen for a while, then turned around and asked, "If I tell you to quit gambling, will you be able to quit?"

Xue Ling smiled perfunctorily, and said, "I just went to Qingmen to meet up with my friends."

Xue Bai knew that this kind of person would never change until he died, so he had nothing to say, so he rode away on his own.

"Liulang, when will you move back home?"

Xue Ling yelled, and weighed the girdle on the lean horse's back, thinking that if he had the capital, he would make a fortune tonight and buy back all the houses that had been sold off!

~~
Xue Bai got off his horse near a watchtower in Qingmen Restaurant and was still adjusting the reins when someone called out behind him.

"Mr. Xue Lang."

Xue Bai turned around to meet Tian Shengong, and said with a smile, "After the New Year's Eve, you changed into armor? It's beautiful."

"Hey, thanks to Mr. Lang's support."

"I have an awkward situation with the right minister, don't get too close to me for the time being."

Xue Bai said in a low voice, and handed over a large piece of gold.

Tian Shengong refused to answer, and said in a low voice, "It's just a small matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks..."

"Take it, find a matchmaker for Shenyu, and tell me if the dowry is not enough."

Xue Bai's tone was uncompromising, and Tian Shengong was not pretentious, he gritted his teeth and accepted it, and his eyes were different.

"Let's go. You don't go to patrol near Fengwei Building recently, stay away."

"it is good."

Xue Bai confessed again, and led the horse away.

Tian Shengong walked into the watchtower, glanced at several of his colleagues, and whispered to himself: "If you offend the right minister, how can I have anything to do with you?"

Xue Bai turned into Daozhengfang, walked near Fengwei Building, glanced around inadvertently, a passerby who was looking at him turned his face to avoid his gaze.

At this time, before the banquet, Du Wulang was sitting in the hall talking with several shopkeepers, looking sad.

Xue Bai hadn't seen him reading for a long time.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"I did some business in Pingkangfang. I passed by and came to see you."

"That's right." Du Wulang said: "I'm really worried. This evening was originally ordered by Wang Zhongcheng of the Household Department. But I heard that it was his cousin who rebelled last night. I don't know if the banquet will be held or not, and I will not send anyone to come." Speak."

"Don't worry, it won't affect you."

Xue Bai turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking into the hall, he said: "You are busy with your work, give me a private room."

"Huh? Didn't you come to see me?"

……

Xue Bai sat in the private room for a while.

Pei Mian pushed the door in and said, "How about talking in another place?"

"Do not."

Xue Bai raised his hand, asked Pei Mian to sit down, raised a glass filled with clear water and took a glass, "Congratulations on the success of your plan, I think those cases will come to an end soon."

"It's a pity that there are still some hidden dangers that haven't been removed."

"Me too." Xue Bai said: "My identity has been exposed, and Li Linfu wants to kill me. Otherwise, the East Palace would have given me your life last night."

It won't be long before Wang Ji knows about this, he is too lazy to hide it from Pei Mian.

Pei Mian's eyes were fixed, and he said calmly: "You said you have two witnesses? This can only scare Li Jingzhong. They have been poisoned by hook kisses and are already dead."

"Test me? Don't be so troublesome, I can tell you directly."

Xue Bai casually took out two objects and showed Pei Mian a look.

One is the card talisman Pei Mian gave to Lao Liang, which was used to frame Yang Shenjin, and there is also a prescription, which can cure the poison of hooking and kissing.

"People are hiding in this restaurant?"

"I thought you were very smart." Xue Bai said calmly, "You don't have to be too hostile to us. Although we are not in the Eastern Palace, we can cooperate with the Eastern Palace for a long time to come."

Pei Mian noticed that he said "we", but didn't know whether he was referring to the Du family or the imperial concubine.

"Donggong doesn't need to cooperate with others, and you don't deserve it either."

"I want you to do two things." Xue Bai said to himself, "One is to bring me the family members of Lao Liang and Jiang's brothers. Second, Li Linfu must investigate my background and let him hand it over to you check."

Pei Mian couldn't help frowning, and said displeasedly: "I'm just an eighth-rank official, you want me to do these?"

"Now I know that you are an eighth-rank petty official? Why didn't you know when you raised dead soldiers?"

As he said that, Xue Bai leaned forward slightly, giving Pei Mian a sense of oppression, and said: "I don't know how you encouraged Wang Yu to frame Yang Shenjin? Wang Ji is about to become Yushi Zhongcheng, and you, a hero, will surely be promoted. To monitor the censor, isn't it?"

Pei Mian closed his eyes, surprised that the young man in front of him had such a keen sense of smell.

~~
In the courtyard next to the Fengwei Building, Daxi Yingying rushed to the side hall in a hurry.

A decadent middle-aged man was sitting there, it was Li Wei.

"Why is Aaron here?"

Daxi Yingying smiled charmingly, and sat down in Li Yun's arms.

Li Yan raised his hand to block her, and sighed: "I'm really tired today after staying up all night in Huae Building."

His face turned black, he was indeed very tired, and he couldn't stand this woman's torture.

"Then Alang came here on business."

"Yeah, after the banquet, I let my mother and Yang Hui stop talking for a long time." Li Tong said: "I need you to help me find someone... Xue Bai."

"Xue Bai?"

"This person may also be called Xue Pingzhao. This is the document that was used to establish the deed when buying and selling official slaves at that time."

Daxi Yingying listened carefully to the details, including the matter of Xue Bai's acknowledgment of relatives in front of the imperial court, and then looked at the document carefully, she frowned, and asked: "Why didn't you use your fingerprints and government office letter seals?"

"Li Genu is leaving, you can check the transcript." Li Tong said, "I have to go, you know the rules of the ten king's house."

"My slave sent Alang..."

Daxi Yingying looked at Li Tong's back, but sighed slightly, and beckoned Shi Zhong, who was in charge.

"The name Xue Ling, do you have any impression?"

"Yes, no one will forget him when the villain forgets him." Shi Zhong shook his head and laughed, "A gambler who owes a lot to the gambling house."

"Go and see if he came to gamble today? If he comes, let him go bankrupt."

While talking, Daxi Yingying walked up to the attic, looked towards Fengwei Building, and saw a young man leaving with a horse, which reminded her of Cui Zongzhi, Cen Shen, Liu Changqing, Cui Hao who had been with her in the past few years...

~~
The sky darkened quickly, and Chang'an City once again lit up lanterns one after another.

When Xue Bai walked to Fan Yang Lu's big lantern, Du Youlin and his wife had already arrived, but Lu Fengniang's face was slightly embarrassed.

Her cousin had already taken her daughter to Pingkangfang, but on the way, he heard that "the Xue Bai who wrote the "Sapphire Case" before the imperial court proposed marriage to the right and was rejected", so he turned back.

It's not that he doesn't like this marriage because of this, but it's not a good time to see each other. Fan Yang and Lu always don't like to attract attention... It should be noted that Wei Jian's case happened on the Lantern Festival last year.

The only thing is to let Lu Fengniang not know how to speak.

"Xue Bai, you are here, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it, and it really looks better when you look at it this way." Xue Bai looked at the lantern in Lu's house and nodded, "This trip is worthwhile."

Lu Fengniang knew that he hadn't understood what she meant, so she relaxed, turned her head to Du Youlin and said, "Mr. Lang, can you compose a poem too?"

Du Youlin clicked his tongue impatiently, groaned with his hands behind his back, and even chanted a song.

"Chang'an sparks illuminate the Lantern Festival, and ten miles of lanterns are far away. If you want to read the words under the lamp during the moon, your old eyes suddenly feel that the young man is far away."

Not to mention good or bad, everyone seems to be able to compose poetry in Tianbao years.

Xue Bai praised a few good words and followed the couple to play.

He originally planned to rest at home, but he was actually forced to go out tonight, but after walking around for a while, he gradually integrated into the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

Everywhere you can see little ladies wearing colorful dresses, or clinging to round fans, or carrying lanterns, adding countless beauty to this Lantern Festival.

Suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar figure among the crowd across the street.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with extraordinary appearance and elegant demeanor. He was wearing only ordinary gowns, but he had a sense of righteousness and iron bones.

Xue Bai was still remembering when he saw each other, but Du Youlin and Lu Fengniang whispered: "I seem to have seen Yan Shaofu just now."

Shaofu is a good name for a county lieutenant, and from this, Xue Bai immediately remembered who it was—Yan Zhenqing, Wei Yanzhenqing of Chang'an County.

He then turned around and followed over there.

After searching for a while, I saw Yan Zhenqing was at a stall, stroking his beard and looking at the crossword puzzles, handed over a string of money to the vendor, picked up a pen to answer more than ten crossword puzzles, and took a beautifully tied lantern from the vendor.

Xue Bai then stepped forward, seeing that the vendor was about to rub up more than ten pieces of paper, he hurried forward.

"Hold on."

"Mr. Lang wants to guess the crossword puzzle. You can guess two for a penny. If you guess sixteen, you will get a lantern."

Xue Bai took out a bunch of money and said with a smile, "I can't guess right. Can you sell me these? I'll learn."

The vendor was overjoyed, fearing that the young man would repent, he hastily handed over the crossword puzzle paper with the answer, and took the money.

Xue Bai took it and took a look. First, he saw a line of handwriting that was about the same level as him, saying "Right and wrong are just for talking more". When he looked down, it was the word "bandit" in regular script.

Although it is just a word for bandit, it has strong bones and awe-inspiring spirit.

I roughly glanced at each one, and then turned around, only to see Yan Zhenqing guessing riddles in front of the next stall, and Xue Bai followed again.

……

A lantern was handed to Yan Zhenqing, but he already had four in his hand, so it was not easy to hold.

So he turned around and said, "Young man, why are you following this old man?"

The young man who was flipping through the note in his hand turned around, stepped forward to perform the salute, and said, "Young Master Yan's mansion is on Yuan Ankang, this junior likes the words of Young Master Yan's mansion, so..."

"Take it."

Xue Bai hadn't finished speaking when two lanterns were handed to him, Yan Zhenqing smiled and said, "Hold it for the old man, come to the Chang'an county government office if you have time, and I'll give you a copybook."

"Thank you Yan Shaofu."

Before Xue Bai accepted the lantern, eight coins were handed over.

Yan Zhenqing said: "How about guessing another lantern for the old man?"

"it is good."

Xue Bai immediately went to find an anagram stall, and spent eight pennies at first, but guessed two wrongly, so he had to spend another penny.

Yan Zhenqing added another lantern in his hand, and when he came over to have a look, he realized that not everyone could guess everything right, so he handed over another penny.

Xue Bai smiled, and accepted it without hesitation.

At this time, a beautiful woman just turned around, saw Yan Zhenqing, hurriedly stepped forward to take the object in his hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. All the lanterns beside her were taken away by her."

"Okay, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat."

Yan Zhenqing stroked his beard and smiled, quite heartily.

He took the lantern from Xue Bai, and said, "Don't forget to ask me for a copybook."

Seeing that he brought his family, Xue Bai saluted and said goodbye.

Looking at the many authentic works of Yan Zhenqing in his hand, he felt that Shangyuan Lantern would yield a lot.

Leaving those power struggles for a while, the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty really caught his eyes.
