Compete for the Song Dynasty

How could Wang Pang not know about the case that caused a sensation in the capital? !

"Han Xiang, are you talking about the Ayun case?"

Han Jiang squinted his eyes as if he was recalling what happened back then. He nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the prince was really majestic back then, so this case should be dealt with so decisively." Are you here?"

"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I know that Li Shi'an was your father's student, and later went to Penglai County under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou to become the county magistrate. After your father resigned for the first time, someone dug out the The Yun case, it was said that there was a problem with the decision at the time, and it was many years ago, and later I heard that Li Shian was hiding the suspect, so he lost his official position and went to prison for this, and he was not released until his father was restored."

"hateful!"[

"That's right, that's why I said, now that your father has insisted on refusing to enter the court, if you persist, something like Li Shi'an may happen again!"

Wang Pang didn't answer any more, he already had a plan in his heart, and he definitely didn't think about entering the court, but Lu Huiqing had to get rid of it.

The father and son chatted for a while while drinking, until Han Jiang walked out of the house slightly drunk with the help of his followers, got into a sedan chair and headed back home.

Wang Pang stood at the gate of the mansion and watched the sedan chair go away. It was already dark at this time.

"Time shift!"

"Here, what's the matter, my lord?"

"Come out with me!"

"It's so late, where are you going?" Shi Qian followed behind Wang Pang.

This time is when restaurants, teahouses, karaoke houses and brothels are the most popular. The night in Bianjing City is very bustling. There are many people walking out to play on the streets, and there are many snacks on the roadside.How many times have I seen these times before, but every time I pass by here, I can't help but look at those tempting snacks and swallow my mouth.

Qingfeng Building has opened again, but the owner is no longer Lin Zhihao but Cui Xi.The guys greeted the guests at the door, and when they saw Wang Pang and Shi Qian approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "My lord, you are here."

"Is the shopkeeper here?!"

"Yes, yes! I'll invite you right away!"

Although Wang Pang seldom came, but the clerk recognized this person as an honored guest here, he ran towards the backyard, and after a while Cui Xi came out quickly.

"My lord, you haven't come for a while, please come inside!" Cui Xi greeted and led Wang Pang into the building, and the two went upstairs to the room in the corner.

"You stay here and watch!" Wang Pang ordered Shi Qian and followed Cui Xi into the room.Shi Qian tactfully stood at the door, leaning against the pillars of the corridor, looking at the guests upstairs and downstairs.The guests are nothing to look at, but the women in this building are all charming guests.

The clerk brought the wine jug and wine glasses and one or two side dishes upstairs, and Shi Qian knocked on the door: "Master, there is a drinker!"

"Let him in!" Cui Xi's voice came from inside.

When the clerk left the room, Shi Qian hurriedly closed the door. Normally, he would be curious about what the lord said and did, but he didn't have enough eyesight to come here, so he couldn't care about the people in the room.

"My lord hasn't come for a while, I heard that my lord left the courtyard."

"Yeah, it's been nearly two months since you left, and the business of your restaurant is getting better and better. It seems that it's doing very well?!"

"Thanks to the care of the lord, Master Lin's restaurant has a good foundation. Don't look at me as a housekeeper here for so many years. If there is anything to do here, I have to go to Master Lin's house and discuss it with Master Lin." Cui Xi Hehe said with a smile. From the smile on his face, it can be seen that although he said so, the business is obviously good.

"I haven't had time to see Brother Lin since I came back from Jiangning. How is he?"

"Very good. I just take care of my little grandson every day. I heard that Lin Chong has hired a martial artist to teach him martial arts. That little guy is very smart. Every time Master Lin sees me, he praises him."

Wang Pang listened and smiled, the future instructor of the 80 imperial army, can it be wrong to practice martial arts?

"By the way, my lord, did you come to see me for something today?!" Cui Xi asked.

"Help me inquire about a person, this person is Zheng Xia, who was the prison gate installed in the capital at that time."

Do you want to go to Qingfeng Building alone?The inquiring that Wang Pang said is different from ordinary inquiring. What can be inquired in Qingfeng Building is not where he lives, but what hobbies and notoriety this person has.In other words, everything that can be inquired here is something that cannot be put on the table.

Of course Cui Xi understood what Wang Bang meant: "My lord, I know a little about what you said. Back then, Zheng Xia's father, Zheng Ren, was the liquor tax supervisor. We who run restaurants had to deal with such officials. It doesn't matter, Wang Xianggong already knows about Zheng Xia.

You also know that at that time when Wang Xianggong was employing people, Zheng Xia visited Wang Xianggong when he came to Beijing to report on his work.At that time, the imperial court used a new examination method to select talents, and those who passed the examination could be promoted to Beijing officials by leapfrogging.Wang Xianggong wanted Zheng Xia to be reused by the court through this channel.But Zheng Xia faced all kinds of disadvantages brought by Chen Xinfa, and as a result, the old man demoted him to be a small prison official who came to the capital's house as soon as he got angry. "

Wang Pang shook his head and smiled. He understood his father's temper. Back then, Wang Anshi practiced the new method with great enthusiasm. If anyone said that the new method was not good in front of him, he would not be angry.But his temper is also a shortcoming, otherwise, how could a villain like Lu Huiqing succeed.

Although I didn't know what Zheng Xia was stating at the time, but hearing what Zheng Xia said, he was the one who dared to speak.

"What then?"

"In the sixth year of Xining, the plague of locusts continued in Gwangju. The sky was raining, and the roads were full of starvation. The hungry people were displaced and flowed into the capital. This Zheng Xia saw this scene on the city gate, so he drew a "Picture of Refugees", but he didn't know this picture. No matter what happened, the emperor saw it, and I heard that it was the emperor who was presented by Zheng Xia in person. As a result, the emperor issued a "responsibility order" the next day, and immediately stopped going to Fangtian, Baojia, and Qingmiao. Alas, Wang Xiangye Because of this matter, I resigned for the first time."

Wang Pang felt something was wrong when he heard it. Zheng Xia was just a prison gate, and the prison gate was the guard of the inner gate.Your majesty, can anyone see it?It is only possible to see the emperor if the fifth rank of the Beijing official is above the third rank of the foreign official. If you get a guard at the city gate, you can go to the palace to talk to the emperor. Today, you can change to a city manager and go to the middle, south, and sea to meet the chairman, so what? possible?Even the captain of the urban management team can't do it!

Seeing that Wang Pang was frowning, Cui Xi immediately said: "My lord, these are well known in the world. I will hurry up and inquire about what you want me to inquire about. But this matter has been in the past ten years. Do you remember asking about this?"

"It's okay, haven't I been here for so many years? There are many things I want to know more about!"

His father was a bit arbitrary in his actions back then, but what Cui Xi told Wang Pang further cites Wang Pang's thoughts, he is not afraid of bad things or bad people.

A clerk hurried upstairs, and was about to knock on the door when Shi Qian stopped him: "Oh? What are you doing?"

"Oh, sir, I have something to ask Shopkeeper Cui!"

"Didn't you see that I'm here? Tell me if there's anything, I'll go in and tell Shopkeeper Cui."

Seeing that Shi Qian was the person next to Wang, the man did not dare to offend: "Then please tell shopkeeper Cui that the bridal sedan chair for Mr. Yang has arrived."

Cut, isn't it just to pick up the lady in this building for a night?This is as good as telling the shopkeeper in person.

"Wait!" After Shi Qian finished speaking, he knocked on the door and heard Wang Pang say that he came in. Then he opened the door and said, "My lord, shopkeeper Cui, the staff just said that a sedan chair for a master named Yang has arrived."

Cui Xi sighed after hearing this, and took out a silver ingot from his bosom, weighing a dozen taels or so.He smiled wryly and said to Wang Pang: "Look, it's all ready, and it's another money-losing product."

After speaking, he called the buddy to come in, and gave the money to the buddy: "This is for the stewards who pick up the people. In addition, I have prepared gifts in the backyard. Don't forget to pick them up and send them over."

The clerk took the money and left the room, Wang Pang asked: "Who is this person, what do you mean by losing money?"

"We can't afford to offend this person. If you like our young lady in Qingfenglou, please give us some. I give it as a dowry. If this person is sent away, he will never come back."

Wang Pang smiled: "Prostitutes are good? Congratulations!"

"Director Yang? Which Manager Yang?"

"It's Chief Manager Yang Jian of Chongning Palace?! You don't even know, this Manager Yang is the fourth concubine, and he's the son of a good family when he picks a girl. Didn't he go to this door the other day? I fell in love with a young lady from us, otherwise she wouldn't want to come out of this restaurant."

Wang Pang snorted contemptuously, that was a pure eunuch, Cui Xi was right, if this girl followed him, wouldn't she suffer? !

"An eunuch has to take so many wives and concubines, and he married our lady, not to mention ransom, we have to match the dowry, it's not worth it!" Cui Xi shook his head resentfully.

"If you see this kind of thing too often, you won't be surprised. I have seen Yang Jian before, but I didn't know that he had come to Chongning Palace after so many years."

"He is serving the concubine De concubine now, and the concubine Guide's status in the harem may not be inferior to that of the queen. So the eunuch is also in the position, and you don't know what he did. I heard that if he When he is not in the mansion, all the doors in the mansion are locked with an extra lock, because he is afraid that the wives will steal the man behind his back; if he is caught, he will invite the eunuch who specializes in cleaning the man in the palace to eunuch the man."

"Is there no one who cares about him doing this?"

"Who dares to control him?! Besides, the adulterer and concubine dare to sue him."

As Wang listened, he suddenly thought that Yang Jian was so vicious, and wondered how he was getting along with Tong Guan now.It also reminded Wang Bang that the reason why Zheng Xia was able to see the emperor must be supported by people from the palace.

The matter of Yang Jian taking a concubine has nothing to do with him, but he wanted to find out who the person who met Zheng Xia with the emperor was.After coming out of Qingfeng Tower, Wang Pang strolled back, and suddenly remembered that Cui Xi had just said that Yang Jian's mansion was in Xiaotianshui Lane not far from Qingfeng Tower.

For Wang Pang, this place is not considered a detour, he is also idle when he is idle, he called Shi Qian to stroll and came to the door of Yang Jian's mansion.
