When Lan Duo talked about this topic, Zheng Peng had an urge to see Huang San.

Counting that Huang San has been back in Chang'an for three months, I don't know what he is doing now.

Approaching the New Year, Zheng Peng did not arrange any more tasks, so that everyone could relax, early the next morning, several women met to go to the temple to burn incense and add sesame oil, and when they were finished, they went to purchase things for the New Year, and Zheng Peng was not idle, and sent Zheng Jinlun salaries and gifts after breakfast, and by the way, the material money owed was settled first.

After settling the money, Zheng Peng didn't go home, took Ah Jun to Xishi, wandered around for a while, and came to a restaurant called Zuifeng Lou.

Next to the drunken wind building is a drainage ditch, and next to the drainage ditch is paved with several bluestone slabs.

Zheng Peng looked left and right, rubbed the stone in the middle three times, rubbed the mud on the bluestone slab, and then took Ah Jun straight up to the Zuifeng Building, asked for a private room, and ate it with taste.

"Ah Jun, there are no outsiders here, sit down and eat together." Zheng Peng started eating, but Ah Jun was still sitting and motioned for him to sit down.

Ah Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "The young master is here, he wants to meet an important person, should the little one avoid it?" ”

"Oh, see?"

"I've been with the young master for so long, I still understand, when the young master entered the restaurant, he specially found the bluestone slab and rubbed it three times, it must be the code of the appointment." Ah Jun said.

Sure enough, Zheng Peng lowered his voice and said, "Don't avoid it, I can trust you, and you know this person." ”

Ah Jun sat down with some emotion, hesitated, and then whispered, "Young Master, is it Huang San?" ”

"Yes, you guessed it, how did you guess it was his?" Zheng Peng asked with interest.

Huang San's matter, except for Lin Xun'er guessing a little, even Ah Jun was also hidden in the dark, Ah Jun was not Huang San's kind of person with a grinning face, there was no need to hang his appetite, Zheng Peng simply told him the truth.

Ah Jun said calmly: "It's not a guess, I just think, with a good master like the young master, no one will be willing to leave by himself." ”

The most important thing is that Zheng Peng is good to his subordinates from the bottom of his heart, and there is a faint sense of respect, which makes Ah Jun the most moved.

Zheng Peng suddenly asked: "Ah Jun, I promised your father to find an opportunity to remove you and Xiaoyin's lowly status, if your lowly status goes, have you thought about what to do?" ”

Children born of lowly nationality are called family children, also called family slaves, and they are the property of their masters as soon as they are born, which is an important reason for the large number of slaves in the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Peng promised Zheng Fu that his descendants would no longer be untouchable, but there has been no action.

Xiaoyin said that a servant girl can be replaced by just one person, but the role of Ah Jun is too great, and Zheng Peng really can't find a replacement for a while, so he hasn't taken action.

I was reluctant to let him go.

"The little one can't plow the land, can't do business, has a bad temper, has a clumsy tongue, and can't do anything except brute force, so he must be by the young master's side." Ah Jun said without hesitation.

Zheng Peng patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, in the future, I will get rid of the nationality, and I will hire you for the rest of my life." Zheng Peng said with an affirmative face.

"Good!" Ah Jun still said with pity, but Zheng Peng could hear the firmness and joy in his words.

As soon as the two agreed, there was a knock on the box door, and a familiar voice came in: "Is there anyone?" ”

It was Huang San's voice, and Zheng Peng was overjoyed: "Come in." ”

Huang San pushed the door in, and when he saw Ah Jun, he was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "Young master, Brother Ah Jun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zheng Peng was taken aback when he saw Huang San's appearance, then pointed at him and said with a smile: "Huang San, how did you become like this?" ”

I haven't seen him for a few months, Huang San is wearing a new dress, with hair and beard, that eyebrow seems to have been trimmed, bowing his head and waist, looking like the kind of person who has an unsatisfactory life and is depressed, and the former sunny and proud number one follower is a different person, if it weren't for the same eyes and voice, Zheng Peng almost didn't dare to recognize it.

Although he sold himself into slavery, Huang San did not have any inferiority complex, and treated his follower as a promising job, with a very positive attitude.

Huang San said a little embarrassedly: "Young master, you used to be a big celebrity in Chang'an, there are too many people in Chang'an who know you, so that even the little ones are familiar, and the more low-key you are, the better, in order not to attract attention, you have to change your appearance." ”

The sense of self-protection is not bad, Zheng Peng nodded, and said, "Look at you out of breath and running over?" Sit down and take a sip of tea. ”

"Well, when I heard my subordinates say that someone left a secret message here, the little one guessed that the young master was coming, so he trotted over." Huang San said with some excitement.

"Young master, you guys talk first, and the little one goes to the door to take care of the wind." After Ah Jun finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Zheng Peng smiled, ignored Ah Jun, and said to Huang San with a smile: "Yes, you have subordinates running errands for you." ”

Huang San hurriedly said: "It's rare that the young master has entrusted him with a heavy task, the little one doesn't dare to slack off, and he doesn't have any subordinates, just take that money, find the right person everywhere to get a relationship, and then set up a small inn, which is the kind that is specially used for the peddlers and pawns to stay overnight, and the money is not much, but it is easy to get a lot of news." ”

"Yes, these mixed places are indeed easy to collect information, by the way, how do you place that Xianglian?"

In order to trick Zheng Cheng, Zheng Peng secretly sent someone to ransom Xianglian, and then asked him to hand Xianglian over to Huang San to deal with.

Three hundred redeemed people, naturally they can't say that they will let her go, but they are afraid that they will let her go, and they will return to Yuancheng halfway to resume their old business, and then this matter will be exposed.

Anyway, Huang San needed someone, so he sent her to Chang'an, and she didn't need it, or she could do laundry and cooking.

At the mention of Xianglian, Huang San's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly responded: "Young master, Xianglian will start at the inn, I discussed it with her, get a kiln after the New Year, this kind of place is convenient to find out the news, if it is well managed, you can also make money, you don't have to find the young master for everything." ”

Looking at Huang San's reaction, he must have been involved with Xianglian, Zheng Peng didn't pay attention to this matter, and waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "You can do these things at your own discretion, I just want the result, this time I will look for you, first, to see how you are doing, and second, to see what difficulties you have." ”

"Yes" Huang San said unceremoniously: "Young master, there is a gang named Huang Eryu in the West Market, relying on his uncle to be the head of the Wuhou shop in Guangdefang, he always goes against the little one, and he also smashed the inn. ”

"I'm looking for a chance to clean them up."

"The money is a little tight, 3,000 is almost gone, and I want to give some gifts for the New Year......"

With a sound of "Peng", Zheng Peng put a bag on the table: "Here are three hundred taels of gold, find Ah Jun when you run out, by the way, if you have important things in the future, contact Ah Jun, so that the target is smaller." ”

Huang San's eyes lit up, and he didn't take the money as soon as possible, but took out an account book from his arms and carefully handed it to Zheng Peng: "Young master, how did you spend the three thousand yuan, every stroke is recorded here, please take a look." “

Zheng Peng picked it up casually, didn't open it to look at it, looked at Huang San and said, "It's all written here?" ”

"It's all written down, and now there are eighty-seven and one hundred and twenty Wen left."

Zheng Peng picked up the account book, threw it away, and threw it on the charcoal stove on the side, and soon, the account book was on fire.

"Young Master, you, you are..."

"Don't worry" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "Young Master Ben has always been suspicious, and he is not suspicious of employing people, and there is no need to keep this account in the future, just know it in your heart." ”

Huang San's eyes were a little wet, and he ran to the ground and said, kowtowed three times in a row, and said respectfully: "The young master regenerates Huang Sanen, Huang Sansheng is the young master's person, and death is the young master's ghost. ”

When he didn't follow Zheng Peng, Huang San was a subordinate and a broker, but no matter how hard he tried, he was treated with suspicion, when he used to work as a handyman in a crude medicine shop, he was afraid that he would steal money and steal precious medicinal materials.

Unexpectedly, it was the broker who met Zheng Peng, thus changing his fate.

Three thousand guan, what a lot of money, the young master ignored it, and burned the account book in front of him, what a lot of trust this is, Huang San suddenly had a feeling that he was dying for his confidant.
