Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wang Pang is in a particularly good mood today. After visiting relatives and friends these few days, he discovered that there are quite a lot of people who don't know him.I used to leave the capital often, but I had entourage around me, and I was on official business. Everywhere I passed by, I was greeted by officials or my old friends. I rode on horses and was surrounded by people all day long.Now that he came to Jiangning, he was already a light official, besides, he could just wear simple clothes when he came to this place, and he only met his relatives and friends who had been in Linchuan all year round. He only heard his name, but he didn't recognize his face.

In this way, Wang Pang completely let go, and no one recognized him anyway. With this thought in his heart, he thought that when he went on the road after the New Year, the further south he went, the easier it would be.Because of this, the mood is casual.Do things casually, find a small tavern and have lunch with Yuan Ze at will, and run into Yuanwai Chen, who is urging the account; then come out and see the scene just now, a discerning person can see clearly that this restaurant is relying on power Bully honest people.

"Brother, wait for me, I'll go and have a look!" Then he walked into the crowd.

Yuanze couldn't stop him, but fortunately he knew that Wang Pang was always the one who would never suffer, so he could only watch anxiously and nervously.

When Wang Pang approached, Zhang San just snatched Chen Yuanwai's account book, Wang Pang couldn't stand it now, he grabbed Zhang San's wrist, and this was the scene just now.How could this group of people know how powerful Wang Pang is? Anyone who sees their brothers in this county will take a detour.Now Cheng Yaojin came out on the way, he was a young man around 20 years old, and he didn't pay much attention to Wang Pang. [

Zhang San was the closest to Wang Pang, and he swung his fist fiercely and hit Wang Pang on the head, thinking that you are a brat, the uncle will beat you up first with his fist.

Before his fist arrived, Wang Pang's fist had already hit his eye socket. Oh, Zhang San covered his eyes and stepped back. Fortunately, he was supported by a few big men behind him, "Stinky boy, dare to fight back!"

Wang Pang frowned and shook his head: "This is a big deal, I told you not to slap your face, if you don't listen, it's not my fault."

There was a burst of laughter from upstairs, and the passers-by on the street also gathered around: "Zhang San and the others, someone should teach them a lesson." Someone whispered that Zhang San's face turned red and white at times, and the people around him Seeing that Zhang San had suffered a disadvantage, several big men came to besiege the king with Zhang San screaming.

Who is Wang Pang?Learning martial arts from Di Qing, learning swords from Zhang Yi, and fighting on the battlefield, do you still take them seriously when dealing with these little thieves?As soon as Wang Pang made a move, the big men rushing over hadn't figured out what was going on, so they heard "Aiya" and "Aiyo", and three or four big men fell to the ground in disorder, some covering their eyes, Some clutched their bellies, others clutched their crotches.

Immediately, laughter, screams and applause came from upstairs, Zhang San gritted his teeth and raised his head and scolded: "Women, you don't want to hang around here anymore, do you?"

"Bah! You are capable with us, and you can practice with this little brother when you have the ability?" The singing girl surnamed Liu, relying on the support of the county magistrate, naturally did not pay attention to this third-class person, so she said It made other women laugh even more.

"My lord, my lord, let's go!" Officer Chen was not happy when he saw the situation, but was even more frightened. He grabbed Wang Pang's sleeve and dragged Wang Pang away.The onlookers probably saw that these people were used to bullying others, and Chen Yuanwai pulled Wang aside, so they all consciously stepped out of the way.

"The surname is Chen! You look good!" Zhang San cursed viciously from behind.

Wang Pang turned his head and glared at Zhang San. Zhang San just got up from the ground and hesitated to chase after him. Seeing Wang Pang's eyes like a torch, he jumped on the spot and cursed: "Okay, you cripple surnamed Chen, just wait, you can run away, monk!" Can't run to the temple..."

Chen Yuanwai pulled Wang Pang out of the crowd, Wang Pang let him pull him, seeing that he was limping and walking slowly, Wang Pang secretly smiled in his heart.Chen Yuanwai walked two streets in one breath, and looked back, only a young man was following him not far away, and he seemed to be walking with Wang Pang.Only then did he pant and say, "Young Master, thank you very much. But you'd better leave quickly, you can't afford to mess with those people."

"Who are those people? Didn't you go to the shopkeeper to ask for an account? Why are you so afraid of them?"

"Hey, where did I see the shopkeeper? If this restaurant pays taxes well, it can't grow so big. It relies on bullying to dominate the market, has a good relationship with the government, and doesn't even pay taxes. If you raise these gangsters, you will fight. The business is good. When they make money, they don’t pay taxes. When the business is not good, they go directly to other restaurants to snatch customers. No one dares to mess with them, and I have no choice.”

Chen Yuanwai sighed, and couldn't help the red circles of his eyes. He looked at Wang Pang: "Young master, thank you for your help just now, no, I feel happy talking to you. Forget it, I I don't want to stay in this place anymore, I'll just sell the house and find a place to make a living."

Wang Pang thought that if he left like this, Zhang San and the others would blame Chen Yuanwai for the beating, and Chen Yuanwai couldn't help beating him.He was pitiful when he saw Chen Yuanwai, not to mention that he had just heard the people talking about it. It would be hateful to come to this government. He had corrupt officials at the foot of the emperor in the capital for his own benefit. The place.Hearing Chen Yuanwai's talk about selling a house, he got into this world, and felt sympathetic, so he took out a silver coin from his pocket and put it in Chen Yuanwai's hand: "The house is not easy to sell because of the New Year's Eve. Let's hold it for a year, and discuss it later if there is anything to do."

This ingot of silver was a full ten taels, Chen Yuanwai held it in his hand and it was heavy, this silver was nothing to the king, but to Chen Yuanwai it was not a small amount, his heart became hot and he hastily wiped his tears with the sleeve of his robe: " Young master, I still don't know what your address is, how can I take your silver."

"You're welcome, you take it first, if I can help you figure out a solution in the next few days, I'll send someone to look for you." After Wang Pang finished speaking, he turned around and returned to Yuan Ze who was following him, got on his horse and prepared to return home .At this moment, he really wanted to read Wang Anshi's Wan Yan Shu back then, but he didn't take it seriously at all at that time. Now that the world is like this, it is so different from the prosperous Northern Song Dynasty he imagined, and he can't help but feel confused.

In the past, he only knew about Wang Anshi’s reform, but he didn’t know how and why he wanted to change. What Wang Pang heard and saw now made him interested in his father and Xining’s reform, let alone today. He also wanted to ask Wang Anshi if what he saw was true, or if it was only Linchuan.After all, it was Zhang Zai who talked about Cheng Hao in the past, and he saw positive things for Wang Pang in governing the county.

Thinking of this, Wang Pang got on his horse and was about to go back to the mansion. Chen Yuanwai limped behind and chased after him and asked, "My lord! My lord, you must leave me a name~"

"My brother's surname is Wang, next to his name, the word Ruo! If you have anything to do, just ask him! We will live on Yanbu Ridge." Yuan Ze was very excited when he saw what Wang Pang was doing. He didn't expect his younger brother to be so nice. Skill, and so generous.Infected by Wang Pang's chivalrous spirit, he forgot that his brother's name and his name were only one letter apart, so he reported his brother's name, but Chen Yuanwai really only remembered the word "Wang Pang".

The two brothers walked home, and on the way Yuan Ze praised: "I said, brother, you are becoming more and more like a knight." He said, reciting: "Lu Lixi with long hair, Cui Wei with crown and cloud."

"Hahaha!" Wang Pang laughed loudly: "Brother, you compare me to Qu Yuan, do you want me to throw myself into the river?"

"You're about to throw yourself into the river, so we'll eat hot pot instead on Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate you!"

"You can't throw this into the river, it pollutes the environment, so let's change to something else~"

The two brothers returned to the mansion talking and laughing, and Uncle Zhao heard that Brother Wang Pang had returned.Quickly came out to greet him: "The two sons are back, the master is in the front hall."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, let's go now." Yuan Ze said to Uncle Zhao.

"Wait~~Master, there will be a guest here, and it's Zhu County Magistrate from our county..."

Well, the county magistrate Zhu came at the right time. If he didn't come, Wang Bang wanted to see what kind of official he was, and how he managed the county like this?Hearing what Uncle Zhao said, Wang Pang said: "He came just in time! There is no need to report, we will go directly."

When Uncle Zhao saw what Wang Pang said, he couldn't stop him. The second son and the eldest son have different personalities!The eldest son is cautious, knowledgeable and reasonable.If the master has guests, he never disturbs them.But these two young masters are different, they used to be higher than the master in terms of official position, and it is said that they are also unexpected in doing things.What's more, the master never stopped the second son from doing things. If the two sons were in the mansion just now, the master would bring them to see the county magistrate, so Uncle Zhao had no choice but to let him go and watch the two brothers Wang Pang together. Go to the hall.

The two beside Wang approached the hall, and heard voices coming from inside. There were only two people in the room, one was his father Wang Anshi, and the other, needless to say, was the magistrate Zhu.

The county magistrate Zhu had just entered the mansion, and was waiting for Wang Anshi to come in the hall. The guests and hosts were seated. Wang Anshi asked, "What's the matter with the magistrate?"

County Magistrate Zhu leaned back slightly, and smiled along with him: "Your Majesty lives in Linchuan now. It's my luck in Linchuan. I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace. I'm here to disturb you today because I have something to discuss."

When officials don't smile, County Magistrate Zhu said it politely, Wang Anshi nodded: "If you have any questions, please speak directly to the county magistrate."

"I heard that the two young masters of your mansion are back? You know the law of service in the Song Dynasty. The eldest son is a Gongsheng, so he can be exempted from military service. I heard that the two young masters have no shadow, and they are not order officials now, let alone Fame, look..." The county magistrate hesitated, his face full of embarrassment.

Wang Pang and Yuan Ze were really listening outside the door, Wang Pang was so angry, okay!The work of this messenger was actually assigned to him!
