Chapter 177: Hints and Threats

Mao Wen'an looked left and right, then lowered his voice, and said very mysteriously: "It's not hard, it's very simple, you have to have stones to repair the embankment, but do you think, it turns out that the stones on the embankment can't be removed, and those removed stones are not also stones...... How's that, got it? ”

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Could it be that he wants to make a profit from the new stone that was transported, and then transport the dismantled stone away again, and make another profit?" This is equivalent to doing a business twice, making money with both left and right hands, which is a good idea, but it is still hard, and it is very troublesome, he is a pony, can he make this kind of hard money? It's too hardworking, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a hardworking and rich person! ”

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Mao Wen'an said a little anxiously: "What about this matter, you can only understand it and not say it, you can only figure it out yourself!" He looked at Yang Ze, and saw that Yang Ze didn't seem to understand, he was a little anxious for Yang Ze, why was he so stupid, he became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he didn't understand things so much, he hurriedly said: "The stone is not good on the side of the river, but it can be turned over, isn't it still good, the stone is not wood, it is impossible to rot the whole root!" ”

Yang Ze was taken aback, what to do, turn the stone over and use it, but if the stone is knocked down, there will be damage, if the embankment is not the right seam, the seam will have to be filled with other materials, even if people who don't know how to do it also know, the river embankment can be strong, and the river embankment is not the courtyard wall of the people's house, that can't be dealt with, this kind of thing dare to do, look for death!

Yang Ze didn't dare to say that he understood, if he understood, he would know about it, and if something happened in the future, he would have to find what he had on his head! He still shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, so he didn't answer at all!

Mao asked Anxin and thought: "He still doesn't understand, it seems that he is not smart enough!" ”

If you want to change someone else, you won't say this to Yang Ze anyway. Before the matter was done, it was leaked out, which would be a big trouble, but Mao Wen'an was very hasty, and even had the idea of explaining to Yang Ze.

Yang Ze suddenly said: "Oh, the lower official remembered, there is still something in the yamen, Lord Hou asked me to find him, I don't know what the matter is, anyway, I am in a hurry." I won't eat this meal today, and I'll invite Captain Mao Du back another day, and we'll talk another day! After that, he got up and left, but he didn't dare to listen to his nonsense.

Mao Wen'an was anxious, grabbed Yang Ze, and said, "Then Lord Yang, do you agree to this?" Don't worry, with your benefits, you followed me this time. The money to buy officials is there, maybe there is still leftover! ”

You can pull it down, and we'll see you later! Yang Ze said that he would not stay longer, and he did not dare to agree. As if fleeing for his life, he quickly got out of the hotel, jumped on the horse and ran!

Mao Wen'an chased out of the store and saw Yang Ze running fast. He stomped his foot and said angrily: "Coward, you won't take advantage of the opportunity to get rich." I think you're a five-grade official in your life, and you're not a big deal! ”

He didn't eat anymore, returned to the princess's mansion, and told Princess Yong'an about it, but he was afraid of being scolded by Princess Yong'an, so he didn't say that he leaked the news, but said that Yang Ze was a stone, stubborn, and refused to listen to him, just like the Wan'an county order, and refused to woo him.

Princess Yong'an felt a pity, but Yang Ze didn't agree, and she couldn't help it, with her thoughts, this matter would be done, and she didn't tell Qi Xianzhong, thinking that this matter would end here.

Of course, Yang Ze didn't go back to Dali Temple, he went back to his house, closed the door, thought about it, Mao asked An and what he said, but it was too heavy, and Princess Yong'an must know, they are husband and wife, how can they not know the reason, but he can't report this matter, because the matter has not been done, it is useless to report, you can't convict Princess Yong'an and Mao Juma because of what has not been done, he went to report but offended people, as long as Princess Yong'an does not admit it, maybe he will be convicted of a false accusation, So it's better to stop a bit.

Yang Ze decided to put this in his stomach in advance and not tell anyone, but if Mao Wen'an really did something to cut corners, then he must not sit idly by, the river embankment is not repaired, and the disaster is the whole city, but he also lives in Chang'an City, and he will also be a victim. It's really strange, Princess Yong'an and her husband also live in Chang'an City, aren't they afraid of death, if they can't repair the river embankment, they will also suffer!

This matter was put aside for the time being, and after a few days, there was nothing to do in Dali Temple, and Yang Ze was having a good time.

At noon on this day, Wu Youren, who had not seen each other for a long time, came to visit and came to talk to Yang Ze. It turned out that the Qujiangchi banquet would be held three days later, and then the Dugu Empress would come to the banquet in person, and the envoys of various countries would also go together to see the generous literati and the children brought by the second Turkic prince to test the poems, which was definitely a grand event.

Wu Youren said: "Lord Yang, you are not a general from other places now, but the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but a civil official, and you can also participate in it then." What's the matter, you asked that Li Bozhi at the beginning, and wanted him to help you get into the banquet, but now you don't need to, so I said, there is no need to ask that old and immortal guy, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no need to ask others! "He asked Yang Ze for Li Bozhi at the beginning, and now he is still angry!

Yang Ze was overjoyed and said: "I don't expect to be in the limelight at the banquet, as long as I can see the excitement, it is enough, dare to ask Lord Wu, what do the lower officials want to prepare?" ”

"If you want to watch the excitement, you don't need to prepare anything, just prepare your stomach. You have to remember the rules of the banquet, that is, you are hungry to hold on to the wall, and you have to hold on to the wall out! After that, Wu Youren laughed.

Yang Ze's eyes lit up, isn't this the same rule as when he went to the buffet in modern times, okay, it turns out that the ancient people did the same thing, and readily agreed!

After Wu Youren finished saying this, his expression regained his expression, and he said: "Lord Yang, the case of the Yuwen family has come to an end, Yuwen Wuluo has been driven out of the capital, it is estimated that he doesn't have to think about coming back in this life, but do you know who took over his position and became the general of the prison?" ”

Yang Ze shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, the imperial court hasn't issued an official document yet, how can I know, isn't this son still empty?" "Wu Youren, as the central housekeeper in the Feng Pavilion, will definitely know the candidate, but if he doesn't say it, it's not easy for him to inquire, after all, it doesn't have much to do with him.

Wu Youren snorted coldly and said, "It's the person who recently took refuge in the eldest princess, I guess you have also heard of it, it's that Wannian County Order Ning Bao Tie!" ”

"Ten thousand years of county order? I really know that! Yang Ze remembered that when he first arrived in Chang'an, he was entangled by a ruffian hooligan named Chuang Ye, and he also caught a Chuang Ye's subordinates and sent him to Wannian County.

This is not a matter of secrecy, Yang Ze will not hide it from Wu Youren, so he will say it.

Wu Youren listened, thought for a moment, and then said: "When you saw Ning Bao Tie, it is estimated that he has not yet taken refuge in the eldest princess, and he was supposed to be the general of the prison, but he couldn't say anything about Ning Bao Tie's turn to do it, and the promotion was too fast, but he went to take refuge in the eldest princess, and I don't know what the reason is, the eldest princess pushed him to be the general of the prison, this is really incomprehensible, what rumors have Lord Yang heard?" ”

Yang Ze shook his head and said: "How can this subordinate know, he has only met Lord Ning once, and he is not familiar with him at all, how can I know why he has the trust of the eldest princess." But he is a small county order, although it is a county order in the capital, but he is only a six-grade official, how can he suddenly become a third-grade official, I am also quite puzzled! ”

"I heard that the people from the Ministry of Industry have co-opted Ning Bao Tie, and the Ministry of Industry is the territory of Princess Yong'an, I don't know if there will be any connection between the two." Wu Youren said casually, and said: "The water in the capital is deep, Lord Yang is new to the city, don't go to the water at will, it's better to hide away." ”

He saw that Yang Ze didn't squeak, and said: "If something happens, be the elder brother's persuasion brother, after all, the surname Li is still in the world, and the heroine is in the dynasty, maybe there is only this generation!" After saying this, he said no more and took his leave.

Yang Ze sent Wu Youren out, and on the way back, he kept thinking, Wu Youren came here today just to inform about the Qujiangchi banquet? This is impossible, it is enough to give a personal notice of this kind of thing, and Wu Youren does not need to come in person. But what did he mean by hinting at himself in the end?

was hinted at, but he couldn't find someone else to ask, so he could only think about it himself, and went back to the house and thought about it for a while, when suddenly he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Understood!" ”

In Wu Youren's hint, he said that Ning Bao Tie became the head of the general as a supervisor from a small county order, this is not a normal promotion, but a promotion to a higher level, then Ning Bao Tie is like a rocket, even the more several levels, things are abnormal must be demons, and Ning Bao Tie is the eldest princess who has recently taken refuge, how can he get so much attention from the eldest princess, there must be a reason.

Ning Baotie is a grassroots official, and he has nothing to do with the high-level bigwigs, and he suddenly became a bigwig, so he doesn't have to sell anyone's face, he doesn't have to deal with the bigwigs, and the bigwigs don't have favors for him, he can do things, and he doesn't have to take care of all aspects, it will be much more convenient.

And Ning Baotie contacted the Ministry of Industry again, and it is estimated that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu sent someone to contact him, nine times out of ten it was Dong Shichang, and the embankment of the Yucang River was in Wannian County, doesn't this mean that Ning Baotie also knew Princess Yong'an's fortune plan, as long as he sold this fortune plan to the eldest princess, the eldest princess would of course have a reason to trust him.

The eldest princess pushed him to become a general as a general, and now he can't bear it, and when Princess Yong'an starts to make a fortune, she will definitely implicate a lot of officials, and when the eldest princess gets angry, she will report the matter to Queen Dugu, but there will be a large number of officials who have fallen off the horse, and it is much more convenient to exclude dissidents.

Thinking about this, Yang Ze was in a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't promise Mao to say hello, otherwise he would have to be pulled into the water, then it would be a big trouble, the eldest princess would be merciful to her "betrayal", she had to cut off her head.

I'm glad I know why! (To be continued......)
