Chapter 817 No one wants to be happy
Li Yifu came out of Ziwei Palace, and just turned from the palace road to the main road, he saw an ox cart full of hay slamming into his convoy fiercely, smoke was coming from the tail of the ox pulling the cart, and at the same time, the The dry grass also burned in an instant, dragged by the crazy cattle like a huge fireball.
Li Yifu didn't panic, and the guards under his command quickly figured out a countermeasure, put the front carriage across the road, and cut off the reins with a knife, letting the frightened draft horse run first.
As soon as the horse ran away, the mad cow dragged a big fireball and hit the carriage. The ignited hay on the cart left the cart at once, passed the crashed carriage and the fallen mad cow, and landed on the ground. Ten steps away in front of Li Yifu's carriage.
Li Yifu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked indifferently at the burning carriage in front of him, and the mad cow still struggling in the flames, and said to the guard leader who was standing beside him: "Did you catch the thief?"
The leader of the guards looked around looking for the suspicious person Luoyang, and said: "Lang Jun, it seems that there will be no results."
Li Yifu nodded and said: "In that case, let's go back to the imperial city and rest in the official office from now on."
The leader of the guards said: "Mr. Lang, in the imperial city, the old slave has no way to bring people to protect you personally. Moreover, the old slave can't pick and choose what to eat there, and the accident may be even worse. big."
Li Yifu said: "Isn't the imperial city safe?"
The leader of the guards said: "So far, the identities of the assassins are very mixed, there are dancers, there are cooks, there are villains, there are merchants, there are Tuyuhun people, and it is not surprising that there is a handyman in the imperial city. "
Li Yifu looked at the mad cow that stopped bouncing, nodded and said, "We should leave Luoyang as soon as possible and go to Chang'an."
The leader of the guards sighed and said, "Judging from the current situation, it might be better to be inside the barracks, but I'm afraid..."
Li Yifu smiled wryly and said: "Yunchu's reputation in the army has always been very good. The biggest dream of Heluo Mansion soldiers is to be transferred to Chang'an to join the army. Therefore, the army is not so stable."
The leader of the guards said: "Since Mr. Lang knew that Yunchu was harming you, didn't he tell His Majesty clearly?"
Li Yifu sighed and said: "I told you, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, or rather, Your Majesty doesn't want to believe it, Jiulang, we are in big trouble."
The leader of the guards was puzzled and said: "The lord is in the high position of the prime minister, the family is deep, and the queen has a lot of trust in the lord. Over the years, there is no one who is not allowed to play by the lord. Why is it now? Said such despondent words?"
Li Yifu shook his head with a smile and said: "You don't understand, since you also feel that the imperial city is not a safe place, let's go back to the mansion."
Seeing the unscrupulous people move away the burning haystack, Li Yifu's carriage continued to move forward surrounded by the guards, only Li Yifu was inexplicably sad when he passed the burnt black mad cow.
A burly man in black walked through Ping'an Square, stopped at a small bamboo shop in Kaiming Square, looked around, and entered the shop.
The shopkeeper of the bamboo shop greeted him with a smile and said, "Guest officer, but if you need anything, the shop has everything you need."
The burly man in black took out a money note from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I did the job, but it didn't work out. Let's pay the bill according to the previous agreement!"
The shopkeeper of the bamboo shop took the one with the shape of a pavilion on it and said in doubt: "Why?"
The burly man in black saw that the shopkeeper seemed to be confused, so he said in a deep voice, "You don't know this thing?"
The shopkeeper shook his head resolutely and said: "Customers should know that nowadays, the money spent on private castings can't be sold at a price. Besides, the small shop is a bamboo shop, and money is also accepted, but the price can't be paid."
The burly man in black saw that what the shopkeeper said was wrong, so he snatched the money, turned around and left the bamboo shop.
As soon as he went out, he saw the man selling straw sandals leaning against the lintel of the bamboo shop, smiling at him.
The strong man in black hesitated for a moment, put the money in his palm, and spread his hands in front of the man selling straw sandals.
The straw sandal seller took away the money and said with a smile: "The fire bull's method of defeating the enemy is the most thoughtful assassination in these two days, but it's a pity that the vehicle in front blocked it, otherwise the thief would peel off his skin even if he didn't die.
Things are not in harmony, after all, it is a matter of no solution, cattle, ox carts, fodder, count eight pennies, and the risk you take counts seven pennies, how about fifteen pennies in total? "
The burly man in black looked at the dilapidated straw sandal stand opposite him, and he didn't understand how this man could afford fifteen guan.
Just when he was puzzled, the man selling straw sandals took out a string of money from his sleeve, put it in the palm of the strong man in black and said, "One coin is always money, and it is exactly ten thousand dollars."
The strong man in black held the money and looked around.
The man selling straw sandals said: "Don't look, your companion in Dali Temple has already fallen for Lao Tzu's plum blossom trick, and you are the only one left here."
The burly man in black arched his back slightly, and was about to draw a knife from his waist, when the straw sandal seller waved his hand and said, "This is the business of Tsing Yi Lou, as long as you do as agreed, you will receive the money. It doesn't matter whether you are a member of the government or not, we only look at the results.
Brother, you are 40 years old this year, right? "
The burly man in black asked vigilantly, "How are you doing?"
The straw sandal seller laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I just saw that your clothes are shabby and your shoes are almost worn out. It seems that your family background is not good. How about it? The salary given by the errand in Dali Temple is not enough to support your eight-member family." home?"
There was a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the strong man in black, but the man who sold the straw sandals grabbed his arm and put the money in his hand again, saying: "The first transaction is considered successful, we will discuss it next time." .”
The burly man in black wanted to pounce on the straw sandal seller, but he remained motionless after all, watching helplessly as he packed up the stall and left Kaimingfang with a load.
When the people from Dali Temple in Luoyang found the black-clothed burly man, the leader of the black-clothed burly man Chao shook his head.
The head catcher said, "They won't give you money?"
The burly man in black took out ten coins from his pocket and put them in his hand, he said, "I didn't see the thief, but I have these fifteen extra coins in my pocket."
The head catcher took the ten coins, weighed them in his hand and said: "It's a loss, according to the market price in Luoyang, I should give eleven coins.
However, he has a good reputation, and he thought it was a trivial matter, but he didn't expect to have money for it.
It's a pity, we are officials, not thieves, or else this deal is completely done.
Lao Su, since we have given you the money, we need to do this kind of thing to lure snakes out of the hole a few more times. Anyway, the Shangguan has ordered that the case of assassinating the prime minister be solved within a time limit. No matter how many times we do it, we will have an excuse.
We dare not hurt the prime minister, those servants..."
Old Su, a strong man in black, nodded and said: "What the boss said is very true. Brothers live a miserable life. If there is such a thing that you can get [-] points by doing something, we brothers must not miss it." .”
Just after the people from Dali Temple left, a young man who looked like a cook who was very close to them turned around and entered another courtyard.
Xue Changfeng checked the abacus that is now popular in Chang'an and Luoyang, and said to Yin Erhu: "Nine assassinations in two days, six died, three were captured alive, and four escaped. It seems that the guards around Li Yifu are still It works."
Yin Erhu said dissatisfiedly: "We are only qualified to spend [-] guan, and you spent almost [-] guan in two days. If you use it like this, [-] guan won't last long."
Xue Changfeng shook his head and said, "It's not your money, why are you so concerned about it?"
Yin Erhu said: "My lord's money didn't come from a strong wind, I don't allow you to waste it like this."
Xue Changfeng said: "Every money spent today will be repaid a hundred times in the future."
Yin Erhu laughed and said, "It's the master's. If you don't talk about repayment, you won't repay it. Whether you earn or not, it's the master's. You and I can only get two cents from it."
Xue Changfeng sighed and said, "If a tiger is tied up and its teeth are sealed, how can it roar proudly in the mountains?"
Yin Erhu frowned and said: "My lord, the rules are the biggest, if the lord wants money, how much is he not allowed to get?
If the lord wants power, he has a better way, Changfeng, this Tsingyi Building, I helped you ask the lord.
It is a place that can help you fulfill your dreams and let you have a good dream, but you must not make this dream come true. "
Xue Changfeng sighed and said: "This is to let my horse run, but not let the horse eat grass."
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "My lord said that the Tsingyi building is originally black, and if you are not careful, it will turn into a poisonous dragon. Therefore, it is best to put shackles on this poisonous dragon and let him dance."
Xue Changfeng said: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for the things here to achieve what the Lord thinks."
Yin Erhu said: "Behavior must be controlled, and things must be achieved. If you can't do this, what is the Lord doing with this Tsingyi Building? What do you want trash like you and me to do?
Also, don't play tricks in front of the lord that you will not accept the orders of the foreign monarchs, the lord does not allow such things to happen.
Moreover, what the Lord hates most is others giving him surprises, so even if we fail to do things in a mediocre manner, it is a hundred times better than giving the Lord a big surprise. "
Xue Changfeng looked at Yin Erhu's shining eyes and said, "Who is our master? Chang'an Yun?"
Yin Erhu smiled and said, "You can continue to guess."
Xue Changfeng hesitated and said, "I only know that you are a shopkeeper of the Jinchangfang Canteen."
Yin Erhu smiled and said, "You can continue to guess."
Xue Changfeng said: "The unreasonable point is He Lanminzhi. The relationship between Yunchu and He Lanmin seems to be just friendship between gentlemen. There is no enmity or kindness. Why do you want to deal with He Lanminzhi at all costs? This is my fault." The only thing I can't figure out."
Yin Erhu patted Xue Changfeng on the shoulder and said: "Don't think about it, it's tiring. If you don't like Tsing Yi Building, you can hand it over to someone else. You can go to the National Dynasty Competition next year. It's not bad to get a Jinshi back to honor your ancestors." .”
Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a bohemian by nature, and I can't live a peaceful life."
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "Then continue, so that Li Yifu can't go to Chang'an smoothly."
The chariots and horses of Li Yi's mansion walked very slowly, and they did not return safely to the Luoyang mansion until the sky was about to darken.
After entering the back house, he did not go to his wife Zhao's room, but walked into a lonely courtyard nearby.
Chunyu put down his pen and ink, and went out to greet him. Before Chunyu could speak, Li Yifu asked, "Can the divine writing be used?"
Pointing to the tortoise shells and keel bones all over the table, Chunyu sighed and said, "The more you delve deeper, the more loopholes will become. These tortoise shell and keel inscriptions will not be able to be credited in a short while."
Li Yifu turned around in the room and said: "I have a feeling that a catastrophe is imminent. If you can't write a heavenly edict for your majesty when your majesty enshrines Zen on Mount Tai, a catastrophe may come."
Chunyu looked at Li Yifu and sighed, "Even if Li is a domestic servant, he can have an official status, not to mention that all the children in the family occupy noble positions. I originally thought that the lord would be satisfied by this point.
Unexpectedly, last year, Mr. Lang moved Aye's bones to the side of Yongkang Mausoleum. It would be fine if he did this quietly, but Mr. Lang recruited peasants from seven counties with great fanfare to build a tomb for Aye. , the regulations are only a foot lower than Yongkang Mausoleum.
What the concubine didn't understand the most was, why did the gentleman wantonly collect money on this matter, so that the gift-giving team was as long as seventy miles?
Mr. Lang, all these behaviors of yours are just hating yourself for not dying. "
Li Yifu's face was reddened by Chunyu's words, he slapped Chunyu's face and said angrily, "It's just a lowly maidservant who dares to criticize a man."
After the beating, Chunyu walked away without even looking at the fallen Chunyu, feeling that there was a fire burning violently in his heart.
Chunyu waited for Li Yi's mansion to leave, then slowly got up, rubbed his red and swollen face, a servant girl came over quietly, and said to Chunyu, "Lang Jun is gone."
While rubbing his painful face, Chunyu said to the servant girl, "Have you contacted all the people I want you to contact?"
The servant girl hesitated and said, "Madam, are we really going to leave the county mansion?"
Chunyu looked at the servant girl and said, "The building here is about to collapse, and it can no longer shelter us weak girls from the wind and rain."
The servant girl has been with Chunyu since she was a child, and she is loyal to her. Seeing that the madam has made up her mind, she nodded and said: "My servant has already looked for the escort with the best reputation in the guild. They said that it is only seven hundred miles to Anyang. The roads are basically official roads, there are not many thieves, and if you drive lightly, you can get there in five days."
Chunyu said with a smile: "If we arrive in Anyang, our master and servant will be completely safe. We also have some savings over the years, and we can accompany these oracle bones and keel bones in the future to study with peace of mind."
The servant girl looked at the madam puzzled and said, "We are just two weak girls, helpless in Anyang..."
Chunyu said: "Naturally there is someone to rely on, it's just that people dislike my bad reputation, so they don't want to have direct contact with us.
My reputation is not good, and my body is also filthy. Fortunately, learning is an innate ability not to be stained with dirt. Even if it comes from the latrine, when it should shine, it will still shine. When it should be admired by all, It will still be admired by all. "
The servant girl carefully pointed to the slap mark on Chunyu's face and said, "What should the Duke do here?"
Pointing to the scar on his face, Chunyu said: "This is the last bit of care I have given him to protect us all these years.
When he fished me out of the prison, he only valued my color. Now, I have nothing to worry about, so it is best to leave at this time.
I also don't want to see with my own eyes the tragic situation where his whole family was robbed and beheaded, even if it is the last trace of tenderness I gave him. "
