In the first year of Wu Zhou, July 12, thirty miles outside the city of Dingzhou.

The newly repaired Yingguan Pavilion of Dingzhou Mansion is beautiful. The summoned gong and drum team was full of spirit.

The firecrackers bought were all coarse, the colorful flags were colorful, and even the local elders who were invited to participate in the greeting were all in good spirits and talked elegantly.

Dingzhou Assassin Sun Yangao personally inspected the honor guard several times before he was relieved.

It's no wonder that he is so cautious in this dignified state assassin, it's really that this Wang Zhu is too bad. His elder brother Wang Bo became famous all over the world for his poetry, but unfortunately died young.

However, the predecessors built trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Although Wang Zhu was more than ten years younger than Wang Bo, as soon as he was a jinshi, he received special care from Wu Zetian and was awarded the post of supervising the imperial history.

This is not the end, since this Wang Zhu took office, none of the impeached local officials have come to a good end. At the least, he will lose his official position and be dismissed, and at worst, his head will be moved. Damn, this Wang Zhu is simply the nemesis of corrupt officials and mediocre officials, and he is extremely accurate, one bullet is accurate! Among them, the most famous is the Yizhou assassin Shi Jizhe, who was impeached by him this time.

Obediently, Ji Zhe's guy is the same as himself, he is a three-grade Shangzhou assassin who holds military and political power. The result? didn't even go to the capital, Wu Zetian directly ordered to remove all his posts, and asked for beheading after the autumn.

Sun Yangao knows his own things too well, his ass is full of shit, how smart can he be than Ji Zhe? If this annoys Wang Zhu, the consequences are unimaginable!

"Look, my lord, it's coming! Here it comes! ”

Just when he was panicking, Fan Guanglie, who joined the army in Dingzhou, pointed to the distance and shouted loudly.

Sun Yangao fixed his eyes on the distance, didn't he? Flags were lined up, entourage embraced each other, mighty, and Wang Zhu's guard of honor arrived.

Without hesitation, he hurriedly led the civil and military officials of Dingzhou City to meet him.

Wang Zhu is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, with a white complexion of medium stature, a resolute face, and no anger and self-arrogance.

As soon as he stepped forward, although Sun Yangao's sycophants slammed over as if he didn't want money, Wang Zhu's face did not have the slightest joy.

Finally, Sun Yangao himself felt embarrassed by this sycophant, and asked weakly: "Eh, is there any point in the inappropriate hospitality of this official that offended Wang Yushi?" If there is any offense, please also ask Wang Yu Shi Duo Haihan to be. ”

"I don't dare to take offense." Wang Zhu replied lightly, "It's just that this imperial history is a little curious, and the rank of the lower rank is only under the eighth grade, but Sun Tingshi is a dignified third-grade local master." There is such a far difference in rank between you and me, but you have to put down your body and go out of the city for thirty miles to greet each other, what is the reason? ”

Mr. Sun Yangao scolded secretly, your mother, you have a lot of shit, this assassin is so polite and humble to go out of the city to greet him, are you still unhappy?

He can't say he's a thief, right? So he could only reply vaguely: "Haha, as the saying goes, it's not strange to have many people!" ”

"Oh? Sun Tingshi is so afraid that this imperial history will be blamed? ”

Wang Zhu's voice suddenly sank, and he said: "As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door." Could it be that Sun Thorn Shi has a ghost in his heart? ”

Sun Yangao's face was like a pig's liver in an instant, and he was choked speechless by Wang Zhu.

Fan Guanglie, who joined the army next to him, hurriedly gave him a round, "Haha, where is it, Wang Yushi is really joking, the reason why Sun Tingshi wants to greet you so ceremoniously is not because you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven supervising the imperial history, but because of the name of the royal history!" ”

"Oh?"

Wang Zhu's face softened slightly, although his talent was not as good as his brother Wang Bo, who died young, but he was also talented. Wang Zhu is still quite confident in this regard. So Fan Guanglie's words are not deliberately sycophants.

Then, he said with a slightly pale: "It seems that this imperial history has wronged Sun Thorn History!" ”

"It's not wrong, it's just a misunderstanding. Wang Yushi's "Collection of Carved Insects", the official has also read it. Okay, it's really amazing, and I'm not under Brother Ling. If that were to take time......"

Sun Yangao was woken up by Fan Guanglie at such a point, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, and talked about poetry and songs with Wang Zhu.

This really scratched Wang Zhu's itch, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Seeing Wang Zhu smiling, Sun Yangao's heart hanging in his throat could be regarded as falling back into his stomach, "Eh, Wang Yushi, this is not the place to speak, please ask Wang Yushi to go." What's the matter, let's talk about it after we enter Dingzhou. How is it? ”

"It's fine."

Just when Wang Zhu was about to let people set off and move to Dingzhou City, a young man in Tsing Yi who was waiting next to him suddenly reminded him: "My lord, didn't you say that when you came to Dingzhou this time, you want to have a good talk about poetry and poetry with the long history of Dingzhou surnamed Cui?" You also call him the world-famous Cui Feijiang, why don't you see this Cui Changshi today? ”

"As soon as you say that, this imperial history will remember this stubble."

Wang Zhu stroked his forehead and smiled: "It's the negligence of this imperial history." Sun Tingshi, I heard that Cui Fei will now serve as the chief of Dingzhou, why don't you invite him out and meet me? ”

Sun Yangao's face froze slightly, and he prevaricated: "It's really unfortunate, Cui Changshi is not here." ”

"Oh? Where is he now? Wang Zhu asked.

Cui Geng's current whereabouts, Sun Yangao still knows very well, and replied: "He, now in Huangcheng Village, the ancestral land of the Cui clan in Boling. ”

"In the ancestral land of the Bolingcui clan? Fortunately, it is reported that the Boling Cui clan is the head of the five surnames and seven hopes, and there are many talents in the clan, and the handsome and outstanding people do not know how many, and this imperial history should go to Huangcheng Village to investigate. Sun Tingshi, why don't we go together? ”

Among the six articles of supervision, one of them is "to observe virtue and filial piety, Mao Cai is different, etc., and the hidden instruments are obscure, and they should be used in a timely manner."

Wang Zhu wants to go to Huangcheng Village, that is where the duty lies, and no one has the right to stop him from going.

Now that he has opened his mouth to invite, if Sun Yangao doesn't follow, he will save someone's face, and the painstaking efforts of the grand courtesy just now will be in vain!

Sun Yangao just wanted to nod and agree, but suddenly remembered what Cui Geng had released.

He remembered that he had been closed to Cui Geng, so that the other party could not take up the position of new Changshi. Later, Cui Erlang released cruel words, saying that one day he would take the civil and military officials of Dingzhou to take the initiative to meet him.

Now if he accompanies the superintendent of the imperial history Wang Zhu and takes the civil and military officials of Dingzhou to Huangcheng Village? Isn't that the cruel words that Cui Geng released at the beginning?

It's a shame to be so humiliating!

Sun Yangao was entangled, and suddenly, he covered his stomach violently and screamed: "Oh, eh, Wang Yushi, this official suddenly felt colic in his abdomen, and he lost his company for a while." ”

"Huh? Sun Thorn History, please. Wang Zhu was also a little baffled by Sun Yangao's play.

As soon as Sun Yangao walked on his front foot, Fan Guanglie, a dog-legged henchman, immediately followed his heels.

Soon, he caught up with Sun Yangao.

He reminded in a low voice: "My lord, you have to think clearly, if you accompany Wang Zhu to see Cui Erlang, your adult will have no face at all, and all the hard work you had before will be wasted!" ”

Sun Yangao frowned and said, "Of course the official knows, but he can't refute Wang Zhu's face, right?" This guy came down from Chang'an to inspect Hebei Road, isn't the noise big enough? The lessons of Yizhou Thorn Shi Jizhe are not far away! ”

Fan Guanglie leaned into Sun Yangao's ear and said, "My lord, you don't have to refute his face!" That's what you say for a while......"

When Sun Yangao heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he patted Fan Guanglie's shoulder heavily, "Okay, Fan joins the army, you are really resourceful, you are Zhang Zifang of this assassin's history!" ”

Subsequently, Sun and Fan pretended to go to the grove on the side of the road to go out of Gong, and quickly turned back.

When he came back to see Wang Zhu, Sun Yangao said: "Wang Yushi, if you want to go to this Huangcheng Village, go by yourself, and the official will not accompany you." In addition, we also advise you not to go! ”

Wang Zhu was slightly stunned, didn't know what to do, and asked, "Sun Tingshi, how do you say this?" ”

Sun Yangao smashed his mouth and said, "Alas, this Cui Erlang, the official didn't say that he was not good, he was a person, but there were two problems that made people unhappy." One is that this man is young but rampant. Don't you know, since this surnamed Cui came to Dingzhou, because the official's poetry talent is not as good as him, he has always looked down on the official, and threatened that the official is not worthy of being the Dingzhou assassin history, and he is unwilling to be the adjutant chief of the assassin history. No, now he has been in Dingzhou for almost a month, but he has been refusing to take office! ”

Wang Zhu shook his head and said, "Can't you?" I've heard of this imperial history......"

"Hey, I heard that it's just hearsay!"

Sun Yangao snatched Wang Zhu's words, and said: "His second problem is that he is hypocritical, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, yang and yin, fake benevolence and false righteousness." You explained that he was unwilling to take office and disdained me as the Dingzhou assassin, but he let out his mouth, saying that I, the Dingzhou assassin, were sick and didn't want to see him, so that he could not take up his new post. Eh, what a joke in the world! ”

Seeing Sun Yangao's dignified history of the three-grade assassination, saying so pitifully and miserably, saying so confidently and conclusively, Wang Zhu was a little suspicious and asked: "He... Really? ”

"Of course it's true!"

Sun Yangao continued: "He is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, not only for me, the history of Dingzhou, but also for you. Once, he was drunk and made a big fuss, threatening to the outside world, saying that others said that your "Carving Insect Collection" was elegant and subtle. But in his opinion, it was ......"

"What does he think? What did he say? For his own disgusting work, Wang Zhu is very much in the unexpected world.

Who knew that Sun Yangao sold the guanzi halfway through his words, and shook his head and said, "Alas, don't say this!" ”

But the more he sold Guanzi, the more anxious Wang Zhu became, and finally Sun Yangao slowly told all the lies that Fan Guanglie confessed in the grove just now, "Hehe, this Cui Erlang is making a lot of nonsense, telling people, your "Carving Insect Collection" is also worthy of giving him a pad for the table legs!" ”

"Rampant!"

These words were a needle to Wang Zhu's death hole, and he thundered and said angrily: "Cui Erlang dares to belittle Wang so much? ”

"Not only that, he also said that Wang Yushi and Brother Ling Wang Bo are both people who deceive the world and steal their reputations. When it comes to literary talent, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for him. It can be corroborated below! Fan Guanglie next to him made up for it again.

"Annoying, how dare you insult my dead brother? Cui Erlang deceived people too much! Wang Zhu said angrily: "Okay, this official will go to Huangcheng Village, and I will ask him for advice." Let's see who's really the one who cheats the world! ”

Sun Yangao heard how beautiful he was in his heart, but he pretended to be kind and persuaded bitterly: "Wang Yushi is angry, why should he be so concerned with this kind of rampant villain? This person is brazen, even if you question him face to face, I'm afraid he won't admit it! ”

"What if you don't admit it?" Wang Zhu clenched his fists angrily and said hatefully, "When I arrived in Huangcheng Village, I personally tested him and competed with him." If he doesn't dare, hum, he will be a real villain who has lost his name and deceived the world, and I will see where his face will go! ”

As soon as the voices fell, Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of snickering in their successful schemes.

Wang Zhu was preparing to inform Sui Hu that he would not enter the city for the time being, and was preparing to divert to Huangcheng Village.

Suddenly, dust flew in the distance, and there was a burst of ringing bells.

In a few moments, five horses galloped in.

The first person, of medium stature, with a white face and beard, shouted at the throat of the male duck: "Ahead is the official of the Dingzhou Mansion?" Five hundred miles of urgency, there is a will of Chang'an. Hurry up and invite Dingzhou Assassin Shi Sun Yangao, Dingzhou Governor Shi Cui Geng is here, quickly receive the order! ”

I rub!

When Sun Yangao heard this, he was dumbfounded, damn, why did you get involved with Cui Geng and Cui Erlang again?

This nerd king helps to fool him, but how can the holy decree fool him? How dare you fool around?

Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie glanced at each other again, and the snickering in their eyes had long since disappeared, and there was only shallow anxiety and uneasiness in their eyes.
