Compete for the Song Dynasty

Shi Qian walked on the street with his chest up and his head up. He turned here yesterday. Although there were few people on the street this early in the morning, one of them had to see that he was fine and came out. Don't look at the one who chased him. He is a human being, but his foot strength is not as good as others, and he doesn't hold any grudges, but the closer he gets to the Mayer's house, the more Shi Qian's heart beats.

The butler of Yang Jian's mansion stepped forward and patted on the door. Seeing the door opened, he hurriedly said: "Please tell the lord, the little slave in his mansion, my lord, let me send it back." make way,

At this moment, Shi Qian felt that his legs were a little heavy, so he bravely stepped into the mansion, the servants had already got up early, some cleaned the yard, some made breakfast, and when they saw Shi Qian came back, they all came over and laughed,

"Hey, the little flea in our house is back."

"How come the sun came out from over there today, and the little flea actually walked out of the house." [

"Go, go, don't make me happy." Shi Qian was not angry: "Hey, has the prince woke up yet?"

"What time is it? The prince has already woken up to practice and is ready to have breakfast."

Shi Qian walked to the door of the hall, gently opened a crack in the door, and peeked inside, when suddenly he was slapped on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, I have been watching you sneaky since I beat you in."

Looking back, Jiao Deyou was standing beside him: "Uncle Jiao, you scared me to death."

Jiao Deyou: "It's easy to scare you to death. If I were the prince, I would kill you."

"Tch, I'd rather let the prince beat me to death than let you scare me to death."

"I don't have time to argue with you." Jiao Deyou said, holding Shi Qian's collar, opened the door and walked in.

Sitting at the table, Wang Pang waited for breakfast and looked at the government's mansion newspaper. He had already heard the movement outside the door. From the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Qian being carried in by Jiao Deyou. Eyebrows drooping,

When he came to the side of the king, Jiao Deyou let go: "You can tell the prince yourself."

"My lord, I'm back." Shi Qian whispered timidly,

"Where did you go this night?" The king didn't even look at him,

"Go to the capital."

"What are you doing in Duxiang?"

"sleep."

Wang Pang was very angry and funny, this kid was obviously wrong and didn't say it straight, if I asked him how he was sleeping, he answered okay, nothing happened yesterday.

When he looked up and saw Cui Deyou standing behind Shi Qian, with a suppressed smile on his face, Wang Pang no longer asked Shi Qian, but instead asked Cui Deyou: "Brother Cui, Yang Jian said yesterday that he lost a lot of gold and silver in his house. Is he ready?"

This matter is not in the plan, but people of Cui Deyou's age reacted very quickly: "It's ready, it's already sent, why don't they let him go."

Wang Pang then asked: "You look back and do the math, just deduct it from Shi Qian's wages every month."

"My lord, I'm wronged, I didn't take his gold and silver, not to mention gold and silver, I don't even have anything of value." Shi Qian couldn't help it anymore, [

"take,."

"No, I didn't steal it, my lord, this Yang Jian is really hateful, I said why he sent me back obediently, it turned out that he stole money from the lord."

"Stop talking nonsense. After all, you secretly stole things from his house."

Shi Qian thought for a while: "My lord, to be honest, I just saw that he had a booklet that was mysterious and thought it was a secret book about the eunuch's intercourse. Who knew it was all circles and crosses like ghostly symbols, and there were some words I remembered. They are all used for daily use, so what kind of treasure is that.”

Wang Bang said: "It's over, you have caused a big disaster, those are royal bookkeeping, this is no better than stealing something to eat, I don't even want the emperor to let you go."

When Shi Qian heard this, his face turned pale with fright: "My mother, how can I fall into the hands of the emperor as soon as I do something?"

Jiao Deyou said: "Who asked your family to exchange Chongyang cakes, otherwise there is no connection with that matter."

Shi Qian said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that this nickname is only useful if it is famous outside?"

Wang Pang said: "It's a good name. You have done a good deed to be praised by others. You think that each family can become famous by changing cakes. Besides, you can be famous even if people catch you."

"My lord, I know I was wrong, what should I do now." Shi Qian tugged at Wang Pang's sleeve and shook his head. When he looked up, he saw Jiao Deyou's face was turning red with a suppressed smile. Thinking back carefully on this morning, he immediately understood that Wang Pang was scaring himself. ,

He turned to Wang Pang and rubbed Wang Pang's shoulders and beat his back in a courteous manner: "My lord, I know I was wrong, and I also know that you are good to me, my lord. I swear that I will never be naughty again, so you will forgive me." This time."

Although the children of Fifteen and Six are naughty and have a little problem, Wang Pang really can't get angry with Shi Qian: "You know how this king educates you on weekdays, but you also know Yang Jian's temper. This time he It's for my face, if you commit another crime next time, I'll send you directly to him, anyway, he has eunuchs who specialize in cleaning people."

This is more ruthless than beating Shi Qian. Shi Qian also knows that he is in trouble, or he has been refusing to say that he is a member of the palace. Now he is also annoyed that the prince has a handle to sit in Yang Jian's hands. He muttered, "My lord." , I'd better let General Tong do it, after all, I'm my own, so I'll be more steadfast."

Wang Pang and Cui Deyou both laughed. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Shi Qian said with a serious face: "My lord, I didn't practice this lightness kung fu to be a thief, but because my father was seriously ill and I couldn't think of a way. Thanks to Liang Your lord Zhou Ji just got through this difficult time, and your lord taught me a lesson. Since I followed you, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Why do you do those petty things? This small negligence made my lord embarrassed. If Yang Jian blackmails my lord , I will never forgive him."

Seeing his sincerity, Wang Pang laughed and said, "What can you do if you don't spare him."

Shi Qian rolled his eyes, and Cui Deyou said: "Okay, you are all on the record, in case something goes wrong in Yang Jian's mansion Chapter 56, people in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty climbed to the high platform to enjoy the autumn scenery, and walked not far southeast after leaving the Chenzhou Gate It is Fantai. Today, the gates of Chenzhou City are full of people coming and going. The officers and soldiers guarding the city are standing at the gates, watching the people coming and going more carefully than usual.

With a blue cloth bag on his arm, Shi Qian hurriedly walked towards the gate of the city. While walking, he looked back, and suddenly bumped into a gatekeeper by accident.

"What are you doing in a hurry, you have eyes when you walk." The gatekeeper scolded him,

Shi Qian was busy talking about the small mistake, while squatting down to pick up the dropped package. The package was loosely tied and opened as soon as it hit the ground. But what to do, he thought for a while, then knocked on the door and said: "Master, you let my things fall under your feet."

"What?" The gatekeeper lowered his head, and saw a young man pointing at his feet, there seemed to be something yellow,

Why is such a big child carrying such a valuable thing, the door guard stepped on it: "What is this?"

"Gold, gold." Shi Qian was a little nervous, [

"who."

Shi Qian became more nervous: "I, mine."

"where from,."

When Shi Qian heard that he didn't seem to be planning to take it anymore, he stood up and was about to leave, but the guard grabbed him and said, "I don't know where you want to go."

"Come on, take him up." The guard greeted, passed two officers and soldiers, and while cutting Shi Qian's arms backwards, escorted him to the top of the city gate.

Shi Qian was so depressed that he told the prince that he would not do anything sneaky. It is really not good for the prince to arrange such an errand for him.

The gatekeeper picked up the ingot of gold on the ground, looked left and right to see people's attention, put it in his arms, turned around and went up to the gate tower, and just took two steps when he heard someone behind him say: "This official, have you seen it just now?" Is a child going out of the city gate?"

The door supervisor looked back and saw a man in his 50s or [-]s, wearing a blue silk shirt and a cap on his head. He should be working for a wealthy family. "Look at the crowds today, who has the time to pay attention to this?"

The person in front of him was Jiao Deyou, and he gestured with his hand: "He is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He is so tall, has a small face, wears a green coat, a cap, and a blue package."

Wasn't it just about the kid just now, the door supervisor asked, "Who is he to you?"

"He's a servant in our house. He did something wrong, and he wanted to sneak away in fear that the master would punish him."

Now the gate guard is definitely that young man: "There was one just now, but it's out of the city, you can recognize it." Said that he led Jiao Deyou to the gate tower,

Shi Qian was crouching in the corner with his parcel in his arms. As soon as Jiao Deyou saw him, he stepped forward and patted Shi Qian's neck: "Stinky boy, what's wrong with learning, learn to steal, and see how the master of Huifu will deal with you."

After finishing speaking, Jiao Deyou took out two taels of silver and put it in the hands of the door supervisor: "You officials have worked hard, you drink these things, so don't send this person to the capital, after all, he is a family scandal."

Seeing Jiao Deyou taking Shi Qian out, Shi Qian looked at the gatekeeper, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it.

"You two stop, let me ask you, what is missing from your house, why don't you check what this kid is missing from your house."

Shi Qian swallowed his saliva, Jiao Deyou seemed to be in a hurry and said, "Throw it, lose it, don't check."

Because there was an extra ingot of gold, the door supervisor hesitated for a moment, people are greedy, not to mention that the job of my own door supervisor is really embarrassing, the monthly salary of fifteen is just enough to eat and drink for the whole family, I think Drinking a sip of wine, all rich, thinking about the house at home that has been in disrepair for a long time, and being a prisoner, I feel aggrieved. In a thought, watching Jiao Deyou and Shi Qian talking about something, the two walked away.

Seeing that it was time for the shift change, the guard had changed his clothes and was about to go home. Jiao Deyou approached him in a hurry, and greeted him as he walked: "Master, stay a little longer."

The door supervisor recognized the one who had just led the person, and was about to go to the warm gold ingot, which was annoyed in his heart.

Jiao Deyou walked up to him: "Master, I must thank you for helping me a lot."

"Forget it, it's a matter!" The guard turned around and was about to leave, but Jiao Deyou grabbed him and said, "I have one more thing, you are a Fuzhou native, and your surname is Zheng, your name is Xia, and your name is Jiefu."

The gate supervisor stopped and looked Jiao Deyou up and down: "Exactly, you are."

Jiao Deyou looked overjoyed: "Oh, I'm just like you, have you forgotten, we used to live in the same street, and you don't remember me when we moved, but I remember that you were often praised for your good poetry at that time. "

Some old people praised him, Zheng Xia was happy, but he still looked at Jiao Deyou warily,

Jiao Deyou patted Zheng Xia's arm: "What a coincidence, today I happen to have an appointment, so I'll treat our guests to Qingfenglou for a drink."
