The two subordinates sent by An Qingzong quickly confessed after being escorted to the county government, after all, they had already told the matter when they were in Li An's mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As a result, news soon spread from the county office, and this news was the same as the news spread by the guards of Li An's mansion, and the two verified each other, which further confirmed the authenticity of the matter.

In this way, the people of the entire Chang'an City were convinced of this matter, and seriously doubted the character of An Lushan's father and son, which caused An Lushan's reputation of painstaking management to suffer a major blow.

The news soon reached An Lushan's ears, which made An Lushan, who was already in a bad mood, furious, and immediately taught An Qingzong a hard lesson.

"You rebel son, you are really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, your father asked you to find a way, but you stabbed such a big basket for your father, and now the people of the entire Chang'an City are watching our jokes."

An Qingzong knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong, the child is careless for a while, and he will never make such a mistake next time." ”

"Next time, you want to have a next time."

An Lushan was furious and scolded: "Now that my father is being dragged down by you, how do you say it should end?" ”

An Qingzong understood what his father meant, and said respectfully: "At this time, it was all done by the child alone, and the father did not know, and the child will take all the responsibility and eliminate the rumors that are unfavorable to the father outside." ”

"Okay, my son still dares to act, but this matter is spreading, it is estimated that even His Majesty may know about it, and the father of this matter is at least responsible for the laxity of his godson, and he will personally ask His Majesty for his guilt in order to obtain His Majesty's forgiveness."

An Lushan said helplessly.

"Yes, father."

An Qingzong didn't dare to breathe, and slowly retreated.

In the Tang Dynasty, the crime of breaking into a people's house at night was not too big or small, and according to the law, it was punishable by cane, and the cane punishment was divided into several grades, which were 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100.

Two of An Qingzong's subordinates had the purpose of stealing art, and they should be punished with the heaviest punishment, that is, 100 battles each, in order to set an example.

However, this is only a case for ordinary night breaks, and there is a mastermind behind these two people, so it is a bit tricky to deal with.

The grade of the Jingxian Order is only the fifth grade, and the positions of both parties involved in this case are not lower than him, and many people in the capital are paying attention to this matter, so how to deal with it is really not easy to do.

The law is extremely harsh in all dynasties and generations, but people are emotional, and this is what the law means, so the key to how this case is concluded depends on the attitudes of both parties.

At least, no matter what, Li An and An Qingzong still have to summon, and the way of summoning is relatively gentle, almost similar to inviting someone, and the officials dare not snub these two in the slightest.

"Big brother, now it's An Qingzong who has done something wrong and fallen into our hands, but we must not cheapen him."

Li Kunxiong reminded of small things.

"To spare people and surround people, An Qingzong didn't mean it, as long as he is willing to pay a hundred gold to make amends, this matter will be over."

Ang Lee is going to get married one day, so naturally he won't pursue too much in this trivial matter, besides, this kind of trivial matter is not a big crime, as long as he can make a little money.

After arriving at the county office, Li An saw that An Qingzong and the county magistrate had already sat down and talked, like old friends who had not seen each other for many days, and there was no appearance of an official trying a case.

"Gongzi An is so comfortable, hey, why didn't An Jieshuai come?"

Li An opened his mouth to joke, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.

"This matter is completely my own idea, and has nothing to do with my father, what do you want him to do?"

An Qingzong stood up very sensitively, his eyes were very ill-intentioned.

Li An smiled: "I'm sorry, it's all rumored like this, and I'm gullible, but I'm also very curious, if it weren't for An Jieshuai's instructions, how could Gongzi An have such courage to send his subordinates to break into my house at night." ”

An Qingzong said: "This is completely my idea, I admit it, this matter has nothing to do with my father, I can swear." ”

Li An didn't refute, and said confidently: "If Gongzi An wants to eat bean sprouts, just take some beans and soak them in water, but why send his subordinates to venture into my house with such a lot of effort, this is too much fuss!" ”

"Nonsense, how can it be so easy, I spent more than 100 catties of beans and failed to produce bean sprouts, my father forced me, so I made this decision."

An Qingzong didn't think about it, so he told the real situation.

"Your father is pushing, how is it pushing?"

Li An asked with a frown.

"Ang Lee, you go around me."

"That's not the point, the point is that you've told the truth, and it's really about your father, isn't it?"

Li An pressed forward step by step.

"Don't talk nonsense, Ang Lee, what do you want?"

An Qingzong is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and his attitude has never been better.

"Send someone to break into my mansion at night, you are quite arrogant! According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the mastermind ...... Forget it, tomorrow is my wedding, and it is inconvenient to dwell on such a trivial matter, if you are willing to accompany me for 500 pieces of gold, this matter will be written off, how about it? ”

Ang Lee made his own conditions lightly.

An Qingxu was shocked when he heard this, Li An This is a lion's big mouth, and as soon as he exits, it is five hundred pieces of gold, which is not a small amount, although he is not short of money, but he can't be slaughtered like this.

The county magistrate on the side was also taken aback, and Ang Li's appetite was too big, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was five hundred pieces of gold, which was really frightening.

"Ang Li, your appetite is too big, you actually want so much."

"Five hundred gold, this shouldn't be much for Gongzi An! Why not buy peace with 500 pieces of gold? ”

Ang Lee walked through the temptation.

"Two hundred gold, I can give so much at most."

"Two hundred gold, okay, that's it, give the money!"

Li An was very happy, he originally only thought that he could get a hundred gold, but he didn't expect to get two hundred gold, which was twice as much as expected?

An Qingzong knew that he had been fooled, Li An deliberately said a high price that he couldn't accept, and let himself bargain, but he only cut half the price, which was in the hands of the other party.

"Give money."

An Qingzong had no choice but to give an order to his subordinates to take the money and give it to Li An.

Soon, the compensation of 200 gold was in the hands of Ang Lee.

For the sake of these yellow gold, Ang Lee decided not to pursue it any longer, and the matter was revealed, and he began to carefully prepare for the wedding on the second day.

One tael of gold in the Tang Dynasty is about equal to forty-two grams now, one gold is ten taels, and two hundred gold is two thousand taels, that is, one hundred and seventy or eighty catties in later generations, which is equivalent to the weight of an adult fat man, and it is very difficult for a person to carry.

Fortunately, Li An brought eight guards to come, and it was easy for each of them to carry more than 20 catties.

Seeing that Li An accepted the money and left the county government triumphantly, An Qingzong's face was angry, because of his momentary negligence and impulsiveness, he actually paid the price of two hundred gold, and the lesson was not deep.

After returning to the mansion, Ang Lee was in a good mood and rewarded several guards with a gold for their merits.

"Big brother, didn't you say to ask for a hundred pieces of gold? How can there be two hundred? ”

Li An joked: "The eldest brother wants a hundred gold, but An Qingzong refuses, crying and crying, he must give an extra hundred gold to forgive his sins, hey!" ”

"Amazing, the eldest brother doesn't even blush when he lies now, if it weren't for my great understanding of An Qingzong, I would really believe the eldest brother."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest brother, you have to prepare well."

"Yes, big brother."

"Ah Lang, for tomorrow's wedding, twenty maids and thirty male servants have been temporarily recruited, each with fifty yuan, do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Liu came to report after a busy day.

"Yes, let these people do a good job, do what I am satisfied with, double the salary, remember, we must make all the guests feel at home, whether it is meals or all kinds of services, we must be in place, and all the useless things must be cleaned up in the big backyard, and the mansion must be clean, tidy and hygienic."

Li Anzheng said.

"Yes, Ah Lang, don't worry! It must be foolproof. ”

Zhao Liu is still quite good at these things, and these things are really difficult for him.

Ang Lee handed over these trivial matters to Zhao Liu, and he was still more relieved, and Ang Lee instructed some key places, so everything was under Ang Lee's control, as long as there were no major accidents, the wedding would be very smooth.

This wedding, there will be a lot of nobles who come to attend, even the crown prince Li Heng said that he wants to attend, not to mention the rest of the ministers, and Li An will also take advantage of this opportunity to show his various inventions and creations, so that the ministers who come to see the wedding can experience the service level of a five-star hotel.

Among them, the biggest feature is undoubtedly the environment of the toilet, the cleanliness and hygiene of the pumping toilet is not at all comparable to the ordinary dry toilet, it is simply a world of difference.

The faucet used to wash the hands of guests is also Ang Lee's originality, placing a few large water tanks filled with water on the second floor, connecting them to the bottom with a bamboo pipe, and then opening holes in some positions of the bamboo pipe, and using some simple devices to control the flow of water, or even completely lock the water flow, this is the tap water of later generations, and Ang Lee used him in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and the sensation that can be caused is naturally needless to say.

The great improvement of the toilet and handwashing environment will inevitably make the guests feel comfortable, but it is winter at this time, and the cold environment will make people very uncomfortable, and Ang Lee has obviously taken this into account, and has prepared a different number of fireplaces in the rooms where the guests are staying, as long as the fire burns, the whole room will be eased a lot, so that the guests can be much more comfortable.

Once everything was ready, Ang Lee personally checked to make sure that the new gadgets were reliable and in place, so as to completely eliminate any surprises that might arise on the second day.

After some inspection, Ang Lee was very satisfied with the facilities and arranged for some servants to be in charge of teaching the guests the use of flush toilets and running water.

Early the next morning, Ang Lee wore a red wedding gown and began to greet the guests.

The subordinates of the mansion are also all busy, welcoming guests, cooking, all busy.

Some ministers who knew Ang Lee came to the mansion early and congratulated Ang Lee on his wedding with gifts.

After entering Ang Lee's mansion, everyone sat in a warm room.

These ministers are all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and they usually feel that their lives should be very rich, but sitting in the house of Li An's house, they don't think so, because they feel so cold in their own home, but staying in Li An's room is so warm, and the fireplaces set up around them naturally attract the attention of these ministers, so that they immediately understand that the warmth of the room is because of these fireplaces.

"This is a new thing, I didn't expect General Li to have this rare thing at home."

"It's a good thing, but it costs a lot of firewood."

"It's fine, it's only used when guests come, and it doesn't cost a lot of money."

"This is a good thing, I also want to install one at home, my wife is old, and she always feels cold in winter."

"Huh! Zhang Yushi is filial, and he will ask General Li later which craftsman made it, and hire him back to build one. ”

When the guests came, they naturally wanted to serve the dishes, and the first dish on the table was bean sprouts, which was a special dish invented by Ang Lee himself, but this bean sprouts was not only two plates, but as many as six plates, in addition to the fried soybean sprouts and fried mung bean sprouts that these ministers had eaten, as well as cold bean sprouts and bean sprouts and green vegetable soup.

The greens in the green vegetable soup are naturally small rape picked in the vegetable greenhouse in the big backyard, but now these small rape have not fully grown up, that is, three or five real leaves.

It's a little small, but it's already a very good delicacy for the guests who can't eat vegetables in the winter, and the guests are full of praise for these simple dishes.

The banquet is divided into morning and afternoon, and the morning is also divided into the first and second sessions, at this time, after the guests of the first session have eaten and drunk enough, they naturally have to wash their dirty hands, and comrades who have drunk too much wine and soup should also go to the toilet to relax the swollen bladder.

The state-of-the-art tap water handwashing and clean toilet environment completely stunned the guests, who never thought that there would be such a clean room and such a convenient way to wash their hands in time.

In the beginning, no one knew how to use running water and flush toilets, but with the servant's demonstration, the guests quickly learned how to use them, and were so happy that they were eager to move one back to use it immediately.

Of course, many guests asked the servants about the origin of these new creatures, but the servants used only the word 'I don't know' to completely block the curiosity of these guests.

The guests who were still unsatisfied, with reluctance, left Ang Lee's mansion one after another, and at the same time, they also quickly spread what they saw and heard in Ang Lee's mansion, and within a few hours, it caused a sensation throughout Chang'an City, which shows how fast the gossip spreads.
