Chapter 5 Yan Zhenqing
This middle-aged customer is quite dignified-looking, with bright eyes, exuding an elegant atmosphere all over his body, because he has a Beijing accent and has an entourage, which makes people feel unfathomable.
"Who are you?"
The shopkeeper's face was extremely ugly, and the customer slapped him in the face as soon as he said it, and it was still in his shop.
The middle-aged customer ignored the shopkeeper at all, and smiled strangely at the corner of his mouth: "If you come from the capital, if you return to the capital with these animal skins, you will have five times the profit, so Shaolang don't have to be suspicious." β
Li Ang was not stupid, and immediately understood the sly smile of this middle-aged customer, he was helping himself, not really wanting to buy.
"Okay, five hundred times, deal." Li An smiled indifferently.
"Wait." The shopkeeper's face was full of anger, and he shouted: "This is my royal family's animal skin shop, how can it be a place for you to do business." Seeing this, several shopkeepers gathered over.
"What do you mean, do you want to fight?"
"This is the Wang family's animal skin shop, your animal skin can only be sold to me, and you can only buy the animal skin in my shop." The shopkeeper is full of momentum with his nose and mouth facing the sky.
"Don't sell it, Kunxiong, let's go."
"Don't go, you go out to trade, and you also take advantage of this store, you met in my shop."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, several shopkeepers surrounded him and didn't let Li An leave.
Li An really didn't want to cause trouble, so he gently reached out and lifted a burly doctor above his head, and the rest of the doctors saw this and immediately besieged Li An, but just these wastes, they really couldn't help fighting, and they all lay on the ground under three punches and two feet.
"What are you going to do?" The shopkeeper was immediately frightened.
Li An patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "I sell animal skins below, of course, whoever gives the most money, I will sell it to whomever you say, what do you say?" β
"Yes, yes, Shaolang is reasonable." The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and then said angrily: "I'll give six hundred, six hundred." β
The middle-aged customer smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded to Li An, said that the price was reasonable and could be sold, and then walked out of the store with his entourage.
"Six hundred, deal."
"Deal, deal."
It is always a thousand yuan, and 600 yuan is 600,000 yuan, and if it is paid in copper coins, it is extremely difficult to carry, so the shopkeeper pays in gold, and one tael of gold is worth six yuan, and one hundred taels of gold is exactly 600 yuan.
At this time, the gold was mostly ten taels and one collars, and ten collars were exactly one hundred taels, and Li An walked out of the Wang family's animal skin shop with ten rings of gold in his arms.
"Lang Jun stays." Li An hurriedly caught up, took out a handful of gold, and said, "Thank you Lang Jun for your help, this gold is a reward." After saying that, he handed it over.
The middle-aged Lang Jun was quite displeased, stretched out his hand to stop it, and blamed: "I am not used to seeing the shopkeeper bullying Shaolang, is it to get rewarded, Shaolang regards me Yan Zhenqing as someone." β
"Yan Zhenqing?" Li An'an's head shook, could it be that the person in front of him was Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher in history, how could he appear in small Liucheng County, did he come to experience life and find inspiration for calligraphy?
Li An naturally didn't know that Yan Zhenqing at this time was the supervision of the imperial history of Bapin, and was ordered to inspect Hebei with Zhang Yi in the imperial history to understand the local disaster situation and people's livelihood conditions, and at the same time inspect the political achievements of officials at all levels.
"Lang Jun forgives the sin, Li An is abrupt." Originally, I didn't particularly want to send it, but seeing that Yan Zhenqing didn't accept it, Li An put the gold back in his arms.
"Ang Lee." Yan Zhenqing nodded and praised: "Li Shaolang has good skills, if he joins the army in the future, he will definitely be a general." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, Lang Jun praised it."
"Haha! If you have a fate, you will see you again, so don't say goodbye. Yan Zhenqing grinned and left with his entourage.
"Kunxiong, let's go."
"Yushi, from what my subordinates have seen, that Li Shaolang's martial arts just now are quite powerful, if he can recruit the East Palace Guard, wouldn't it be a good thing."
When Yan Zhenqing heard this, his expression was quite complicated, he paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "The prince lives in the palace courtyard all the year round, and is completely guarded by His Majesty's tens of thousands of Yulin troops, and the East Palace guard rate has long been an ornament, but Your Majesty is so 'protecting' the prince, it is really well-intentioned!" After saying that, there was a wry smile.
Obviously, in Yan Zhenqing's opinion, the existence of the East Palace Guards is a decoration, they are responsible for defending the East Palace, but the prince does not live in the East Palace, but lives with the emperor, and is closely guarded by the emperor's Yulin Army, which is not so much a defense as a surveillance.
This is enough to show that the current emperor Li Longji is very uneasy about his crown prince, of course, this is also related to the frequent coups d'Γ©tat in the Tang Empire for more than 100 years, as the son of heaven, Li Longji has to guard against his son.
"What do you mean?"
"You just need to remember that what the prince needs is not the Donggong guard, but the support of the court ministers and border generals, only when they all support the prince, the prince can be truly safe, and in this way, my Tang Dynasty can prosper forever."
Yan Zhenqing admonished his henchmen.
As a supporter of the crown prince, Yan Zhenqing knew that if he wanted to stabilize the prince's position, the ministers and border generals of the court and the central government were very important, and the Donggong guard rate would not work at all.
"What the imperial history says is that now Li Xiangguo and King Qing are secretly in contact, and there is a great tendency to jointly deal with the prince, the situation between the DPRK and China is quite urgent, and the border passes are not much better, especially in Hebei, several generals who support the prince have all been damaged."
Yan Zhenqing frowned and said: "It's just a small-scale Northern Expedition, which actually led to the loss of many generals, and all of them are generals who support the prince, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" β
"Goshi thinks there's something wrong with this?"
"Of course, there is a problem, although these generals are all killed and missing, as long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely be able to find out the truth, which is also another task of our trip."
"Don't worry, your subordinates will do their best to investigate this matter."
Yan Zhenqing was ordered by the imperial court to come to Hebei to inspect the disaster, but he also accepted the secret order of the prince's party and went to Yingzhou to investigate the hidden circumstances of the loss of many generals.
"By the way, Li Shaolang just now is a good clue." Yan Zhenqing smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.
"Li Shaolang?"
Yan Zhenqing nodded and said: "This imperial history and the missing Pinglu military captain Li Wu can also be regarded as close friends, and this Li Shaolang and Li Wu look very similar, it is very likely that they are father and son, if not, how could this imperial history meddle just now." β
"Haha! I see, my subordinates understood. β
On the streets of Xifang, Liucheng County, a burly aristocratic young man and an equally burly middle-aged Langjun were walking side by side, followed by six guards with swords hanging from them.
"Uncle Tian, I heard that you have been to Chang'an City, I don't know how Chang'an City is better than Liucheng County?" The aristocratic young man asked, scanning the crowd on the street.
"How can the small Liucheng County be compared with Chang'an City, it is too far behind, and it cannot be compared at all." The middle-aged Lang Jun waved his hand.
"What about the women in Chang'an City? Whether it is also incomparable to Liucheng County. A glint flashed in the aristocratic young man's eyes.
The middle-aged Lang Jun smiled knowingly, and raised his head and said: "The Junyue Building in Chang'an City will catch a little lady casually, it will be better than the vulgar fans in Liucheng County, Da Lang can know that in Chang'an City, some people are willing to spend thousands of dollars, but just to see the beauty." β
"There is such a thing, if I can live in Chang'an City for a long time and appreciate the beauty of the world, even if I am a hostage, I Anqingzong is willing." A hint of evil intent flashed in the aristocratic young man's eyes.
That's right, this burly young man is An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, and the middle-aged Langjun next to him is Tian Qianzhen, a general under An Lushan.
As An Lushan's eldest son, An Qingzong knew that sooner or later he would be sent to Chang'an City as a hostage, and he was originally a little reluctant, but after listening to Tian Qianzhen's words at this moment, he changed his opinion.
"Uncle Tian, the little lady in front of you looks good?" An Qingzong raised his eyes to look at the young sprouts who were selling hazelnuts.
Tian Qianzhen glanced at it, shook his head and said, "It's too young, too tender." β
"I'm a little younger, but it's still good if I buy a house to be a little maid."
"Oh, is there a shortage of maidservants in Dalang's mansion?"
Tian Qianzhen had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, obviously, he could see that An Qingzong liked tender ones, and saying that buying a little maid was just a pretext.
"What a delicate little lady, go back with my son to be a little maid, and pay 30 times a month, which is much better than selling hazelnuts on this street." An Qingzong said undoubtedly.
"Third brother." The young sprouts took a few steps back in fright.
"This son, we sell mountain goods, not people." Li Feiyu took a step forward and stared at An Qingzong.
"Dare to stare at me, what a big dog, do you know who this son is?" An Qingzong was furious, his eyes were as wide as a spring toad.
"Da Lang Hugh is going to be angry," Tian Qianzhen smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked over, looked at Li Feiyu, and said arrogantly: "This Shaolang, my son is the eldest son of the Andu Governor of Yingzhou, and his status is noble. β
Threat, this is Chiguoguo's threat, Li Feiyu naturally will not agree.
"Thank you Lang Jun for your kindness, my sister is a vulgar person in the countryside and will not serve nobles."
"It's okay, my son can be trained slowly, a few of you, take this little lady away." An Qingzong still lost his patience and let several guards behind him do it.
"What are you going to do, is there no royal law?"
Li Feiyu was in a hurry, there were eight people on the other side at the moment, and they all looked strong, but he was alone, and it was bound to be difficult to maintain the young shoots.
"Wang Fa, here, this son is Wang Fa, hahaha!" An Qingzong was very proud.
