Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

Cao Cao looked at Zhiyuan at this moment, and drank a bowl of wine with her. "I said that I heard that the girl is good at swordsmanship recently?"

After all, it was no secret that he had a competition with Yuan Shu's subordinates yesterday.

Zhiyuan nodded, and briefly talked about her apprenticeship with Wang Yue.

Cao Cao asked again: "Then what about the art of assassination?"

Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It should be fine."

"Okay, okay...then what does Zhiyuan think of the Ten Attendants?" Cao Cao asked again.

Now Zhiyuan had to think about how to answer, because if she answered badly, she might lose her favorability.

Chapter 24: Trading Buying and Selling

Zhi Yuan glanced at Cao Cao, then suddenly smiled: "Brother Meng De, you and I have some relationship with the eunuch."

"You are the queen of the eunuch, and my uncle Tang Heng is also an eunuch. So I think the ten permanent servants, we are clear in our hearts..."

"You and my family, how the family's money and capital came from, should be clear in my heart. So brother Mengde, do you think the problem of the big man is really because of the eunuch?"

Cao Cao: "..." He didn't speak because he didn't know how to say it.

To be honest, after being an eunuch, it is quite embarrassing.This embarrassment is quite obvious in the big gentry. Although Yuan Shao didn't say it, he still felt a little disgusted in his heart.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, if someone in the family was an eunuch, the grade would be lowered.Cao Cao was also insulted by many people (He Jin) because of this... When he broke with Yuan Shao later, he was also scolded by Yuan Shao, and of course these people died in the end.

It's different now, so when Zhi Yuan asked such a question, Cao Cao naturally couldn't answer it.

Yuan Shao on the side must be disgusted, and Cao Cao himself often avoids this question.He didn't expect Zhiyuan to ask directly, which really made him a little embarrassed.

Yuan Shao made a sound aside, and then he didn't take it seriously at all.From Yuan Shao's point of view, if all the eunuchs were killed, it would be their gentry who would speak in the future.After all, in his heart, nothing is more important than his family.

Of course... this family has to decide for themselves, not that Yuan Gonglu.

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Zhi Yuan smiled, "One cannot change one's origin, but one can change one's future..."

"You and I know in our hearts that eunuchs are not the main reason for the turmoil in the world. Of course...it's useless if I say it. Mengde should stop asking...have a drink."

Zhi Yuan didn't want to embarrass Cao Cao too much, and Cao Cao couldn't let go of this burden.So he smiled wryly, then nodded to the kite, and picked up the wine jar.

Yuan Shao asked suddenly: "My little girl knows the art of assassination, so how about I pay you to kill a few people for me?"

Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, but there are a few requirements, you can't ask me to kill today, I have the ability to kill, right?"

"And, I only kill bad guys..." Zhi Yuan said seriously.

Yuan Shao laughed, he thought this girl was really naive. "The person I asked you to kill must be a bad person..."

"Bad guy...you don't care what you say about this title, I have to judge it myself. Good or bad in my eyes is slightly different from yours..." Zhi Yuan curled her lips.

"Hahaha...Okay...Of course I won't embarrass you, little girl. There are two people who are really not good people. They are criminals..."

"A person is one of the ten permanent attendants, Zhao Zhong's godson Zhao Fang... Girl, if you have the ability, you can investigate whether he should be killed."

"The second person is a ranger from Luoyang City, named Fang Yue, who is also investigated by the girl."

"I will give a hundred dollars to everyone for their heads, and bring them up to meet..."

One hundred silver is 100 taels... One tael of silver is equal to one thousand taels, and 100 taels is one hundred thousand taels.This amount really doesn't sound like a lot, and it was indeed a windfall for Zhi Yuan, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the Yuan family.

Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay...but I don't know them, so please arrange a subordinate for me. Many things need to be confirmed by one person. I will determine whether to kill the other party in about a week and carry out the task. "

Yuan Shao nodded: "How about I give you fifteen days?"

Zhiyuan nodded and left, she had nothing to communicate with these two people.Especially Yuan Shao, this person is basically the root cause of the chaos in the world in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Because he was the one who introduced Dong Zhuo to Luoyang City, Yuan Shao looked down on warriors, eunuchs, and even that butcher... Well, he was also a butcher in his ancestors, and that's not what He Jin did here.

The Three Kingdoms was an era when people were very aware of their origins, but fortunately, Zhiyuan's current identity problem has been resolved.Even if she is called Tiger Girl, many people think she is vulgar, but they must not be too harsh on Zhiyuan.

Yuan Shao looked down on Zhiyuan, but he could only endure it, and even wanted to use Zhiyuan to help him.If it's those Yuan Shu's subordinates in front, I'm sorry... Yuan Shao will never meet, because his skills are too humble and unremarkable.

After Zhi Yuan left, Yuan Shao sneered: "As expected, I heard that this girl is different, she is indeed suitable for my younger brother."

Cao Cao smiled wryly, then continued to drink.Zhi Yuan's sentence that you and I have something to do with the eunuch made him think about it.

After all, even if all ten servants are killed, can the big man be restored to life?So what is the crux of the big man? Cao Cao began to ponder, but Yuan Shao didn't care.

When Zhiyuan returned home, Pei Yuanshao came back from Tianqing Pavilion.After all, there is still work to be done to deal with the aftermath, so Yuan Shu must have looked unhappy, but he was also embarrassed to take the anger out on Pei Yuanshao.

After Zhiyuan came back, she started to put on makeup.If you want to kill someone, you can't use your appearance. This appearance is too outstanding. At least in Luoyang City, there must be many people who know him.

Rouge and gouache are still available, as well as things like cinnabar.Zhiyuan must draw herself ugly, and then paint the damn chest.Tie it tight and try not to draw attention...

"The body is developing so fast, I think it's all C..." Zhiyuan sighed, talking about her breasts.The waist is similar to plastic surgery, but there is no sagging, and I don't know if it is because of the benefits given by my time travel.

But no matter what, Zhiyuan was very satisfied with her body.

After Zhiyuan put on her makeup, she went out to take care of the well, and Pei Yuanshao also came to her side. "I said girl, what do you mean?"

"I just took over a job from a rich man, and I'm going to kill two people. Each of them costs a hundred silver, so I'm going to take it..." Zhiyuan smiled.

After all, Pei Yuanshao was familiar with Zhiyuan, so even if Zhiyuan put on makeup, he could still tell it.Hearing what Zhi Yuan said, Pei Yuanshao's eyes also lit up: "I'll go...a hundred silver alone? If this is near our Peijiazhuang, let alone a hundred silver, someone will help you..."

Zhiyuan looked at the local leopard: "This is Luoyang, the consumption is so high, can it compare with your Peijiazhuang..."

"Okay, someone will come back tomorrow. Then you go out with him and see where the target people usually go. If you can, quietly inquire about them and see how they are evaluated among ordinary people."

"If no one speaks well of them, I'll just do the job... I'll buy you a good horse at that time, which will be much better than those poor horses in our family."

Pei Yuanshao was sure of this, and immediately became excited: "No problem, girl, leave this trivial matter to me!"

Chapter 25: Tang Zhen's family view

Sure enough, when horses were mentioned, Pei Yuanshao immediately became excited.

In the evening, Zhiyuan also got some simple information.

Zhao Fang: The son of Zhao Zhong, the ten-time attendant, is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and even often robs the daughters of ordinary people for his lust.

Fang Yue: The head of the Luoyang Tigers Gang, with about 200 people under his command.On weekdays, he collects some money from the store, and is hired to often fight with other gangs, gangsters and rangers.

This is simple information. In fact, Pei Yuanshao went, that is, to get to know the other party, and help Zhi Yuan find out the specific location by the way.

Because at night, Zhiyuan will go over to check it out in person, and in the next few days will also see what kind of person the other party is.Of course, at night, Tang Zhen was almost not taken aback when she saw Zhi Yuan.

Zhiyuan hastily explained that this was the disguise technique Wang Yue gave her.Because walking outside in the future, the girl's appearance is really inconvenient.Tang Zhen watched it carefully, and then she was amazed.

After all, it was something that was beneficial to her daughter, so Tang Zhen wouldn't ask about it.Instead, she was concerned about whether Zhiyuan had met the young masters of those aristocratic families, how the chat was going, whether she was happy or not.

Now the house is basically full of chairs and seats. Although the food is still shared, Zhiyuan basically cooks when she is free, and the family is happy.And Tang Zhen's son, Tang Tian, ​​will leave for Pingyuan County in two months and October.

And Tang Zhen also promised Zhi Yuan to find her a cheap official position.Of course... Tang Zhen also had something to say first, because if it is a female official position, it is very easy to get it.

However, there are two types of female officials in the Han Dynasty. The first type is concubines, and everyone has a corresponding official position.The second type is some female officials in charge of the harem, such as Shangshu, Yuchang, Gongchang, and female officials.

It is said that the Diaochan that Lu Bu likes is also a kind of female official.Diaochan is a kind of women's headgear. Many people in later generations think that the woman may have held the official position of Diaochan, a position in charge of women's headgear.

But none of these positions are suitable for paper kites.After all, those officials are all in the palace.If Zhiyuan really enters it, it is estimated that this novel will turn into a scene of palace fighting. Of course, Zhiyuan is most likely to be blood-stained in the harem.

So, if the kite wants to be released outside and has a legal identity, it can only be considered by normal officials.But the big man has never had a woman as a civil and military official, so this is indeed a bit troublesome.

Now that Tang Zhen has some reputation, she can say something to the emperor.His son Tang Tian was purely going to practice, so he arranged a Pingyuan County for him.It's better to get the paper kite over there too, so the siblings can still support each other.

In the end, Tang Zhen considered that it would be enough to give Zhiyuan a postal supervisor status in Anping Country.Duyou is a post that represents the prefect and inspects counties and townships, promulgating government orders and judiciary.Zhiyuan can bring five hundred guards with him, after all, he needs to go to the countryside frequently for inspections.

Tang Zhen felt that there were more than 500 guards outside, plus her own daughter's ability, she should be able to handle it with ease.Tang Tian doesn't know martial arts, he only knows some fencing skills.If there are some bandits in the plain, I am afraid it will not be beautiful.

Ping'an County is not too far away from Anping Country. Since the official position of Anping County has not been determined in recent years, Anping Country is responsible for most of the time.At present, Anping Kingdom is the fiefdom of Anping King Liu Xu, and it can be regarded as a place with relatively good law and order.

Therefore, although Tang Zhen got the kite from Anping Country, she would basically not work in Anping Country.Instead, she went directly to Pingyuan to be with her brother Tang Tian, ​​so that she wouldn't be stubborn.

Tang Zhen thinks that law and order are good, but Zhi Yuan doesn't think so.Because she knew that there might be the hardest-hit area next year, and the risk of going there would definitely not be low.

But... Zhiyuan twitched her lips as Duyou.It seems that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei slapped the face of a governor.Of course... at the grassroots level, the official position should not be too small, and the position is quite powerful.

"Father, is it easy for a woman to be the postal supervisor?" Zhi Yuan asked, although she was a girl after all, although her official position was not high.

Tang Zhen sighed: "It's nothing, use the method of being a father, spend money...I paid for an official back then, and I was shamed by many people. But my daughter, your official position, to be honest.... It’s just a daughter who wants to say hello to the emperor.”

Zhiyuan asked, "It shouldn't cost much, right?"

"It's true that you don't need much. It's just a mail superintendent, and you can buy it for 50 yuan."

"Back then, when I bought this Sikong, I basically spent more than half of my brother Tang Heng's family property, 1000 million yuan to buy it..." Tang Zhen sighed a little.

"But I had to buy it. Although I was quite famous at the time, I had no foundation. If I didn't buy the Sikong position, it wouldn't be long before those family properties would be taken over by some colleagues."

"It's like this above the court, you die and you live. So I can only let my son step into my old way. After a period of experience outside, before I die, I can also put him in a high position."

Tang Zhen also has no choice, because he is not considered a family at all.It was nothing more than what Tang Heng got in exchange for his status as an eunuch.Moreover, Tang Heng only had one daughter, and Tang Zhen only had one son.

What kind of aristocratic family is this, just two people like this.So it's no wonder why Tang Zhen treats Zhi Yuan so well, and even thinks of Zhi Yuan everywhere.Because the Tang family is too small.Any offspring who has blood with him is worth cultivating.

Even what Tang Zhen considered the most was to let Zhi Yuan marry the descendants of the emperor.It's a pity that the emperor has not yet decided who will inherit, one Liu Xie and one Liu Bian, so Tang Zhen has no way to choose.

If the emperor Liu Hong has confirmed the issue of the heir now, then there is no need for Yuan Shao to find someone to spread the name of Tiger Girl, Tang Zhen will go to Liu Hong to talk about it.

This is the interest, the interest of the Tang family is also for the family to continue.Tang Heng and Tang Zhen have spent their entire lives climbing to this position. Could it be that the Tang family will fall when they die?

Now the emperor Liu Hong has not confirmed his successor, and Liu Hong is still young, Tang Zhen doesn't think she can survive him.But the emperor can't marry randomly, because if you marry wrong, it may be a disaster of death.

In fact, Tang Zhen's idea was to let Zhi Yuan marry that Yuan Shu.After all, for the Yuan family of four generations and three generations, the greatest benefit lies in the marriage between the two parties.But looking at his own daughter, it's really not worry-free.

In the past few days, Tang Zhen has understood that Zhi Yuan has no intention of marrying.But the kite knew martial arts, so Tang Zhen was also afraid that the kite would hurt Yuan Shu.It's better to get Zhiyuan to her brother's side, if not, just stay for a few years and see.

And this idea coincides with Zhiyuan's idea of ​​going to farm.But... is the plain accessible to ordinary people?The Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out next year, and how much the two young people can do, they will still be reduced to cannon fodder and disappear in the long river of history.

Chapter 26: The eunuch's godson

Generally speaking, it was settled like this, Tang Tian would take his wife to take up the post.

Tang Tian is not young, so he has already married a wife.His wife is a daughter of a branch of the Yin family, Yin Ting... also known as the Yin family.

It's a pity that the Yin family is also in decline now, and it can't play a big role in the court.But the appearance is not bad, very quiet and gentle, and Tang Tian can be considered to be in love with each other.

Zhiyuan always felt like she was being fed a mouthful of dog food.

After nightfall, Zhiyuan put on her night clothes, put down her epee, and went out with her rapier.The epee is not suitable for sneaking, and the left-handed sword is suitable for assassination.

And on Zhiyuan's waist, there is also a crossbow, which is a very small weapon made by someone after Zhiyuan came to Luoyang.It's a bit rough, but it's straight-up shooting.Although it may not be used, it is necessary to be prepared.

Pei Yuanshao also took it out, also wearing night clothes and a mask.Zhiyuan needs Pei Yuanshao to respond, because sneaking in is often very dangerous.

"Go to Zhao Fang's place first. How can I say that my family has something to do with eunuchs. After a long time, let's see if the lives of people who are also eunuchs are particularly depraved."

"Speaking of it... my father said that it cost 1000 million yuan to buy the position of Sikong... My uncle probably was greedy for money back then. Arrogance and domineering should be common, so how can I judge other eunuchs?"

1000 million yuan, the paper kite twitches more and more... This is 1 taels of silver, all put together can bury the paper kite.

(The "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records a story about Cui Lie buying an official, which is very interesting. It is said that Cui Lie spent 500 million yuan to buy a Situ (one of the three lords). Emperor Ling was very excited about the big deal, so on the day of canonization, he came to the hall in person to show his importance. But when he saw Cui Lie's proud look, he suddenly felt that the official sale was too cheap, so he expressed regret to the The entourage said: "I regret a lot, but it can reach ten million")

(Tang Zhen did not have an official position back then. In order to keep her family property, she spent a lot of money. Not only for the emperor, but also for the money of her colleagues. If it was only for the emperor, it would definitely not cost 1000 million yuan.)

Pei Yuanshao didn't know how to evaluate it for a long time, and he felt that the current Tang Mansion definitely had millions of money.If the money is given to the farmers, they probably won't be hungry in this life.

"You're here, if I'm found out, you can simply set the fire on this side..." Zhi Yuan pointed to Pei Yuanshao, there was a warehouse for fodder nearby.

Pei Yuanshao nodded, and Zhiyuan quietly climbed the wall and entered the Zhao family's mansion.The mansion is not small, and it is very grand.

What Pei Yuanshao did earlier was to inquire, and even drew a simple sketch for Zhi Yuan.Of course, this is all taught by Zhiyuan, and now Pei Yuanshao can barely recognize simple Chinese characters.

Zhiyuan entered the vicinity of Zhao's hall smoothly, and found that someone was talking here.The kite poked a small hole in the paper of the window with its small tongue, and then looked inside.

There were two people talking, one with a sharp voice, next year was not a normal man.The other one kept nodding, obviously it was the man's subordinate.

"It seems that in the information, the man who works under So-and-so is Zhao Fang, so the one who is talking, could it be Zhao Zhongba?" Zhi Yuan thought for a while, and then listened carefully to their conversation.

Zhao Zhong: "This month's offering should be done. Everyone is short of money now. We should give you more money."

"Yes, adoptive father!" Zhao Fang nodded.

Zhao Zhong: "I heard that someone from your family wants to buy an official? How much can you give?"

"My family, that is, my uncle, wants to buy a Taishi Ling... I can bid 300 million." Zhao Fang replied.
