Yang Fan returned to the mansion, and a freshly baked bookkeeper was already waiting there.

The old gentleman is less than sixty years old this year, and his body is quite strong, this person is not taking the path of entering the imperial examination. At that time, only a dozen or dozens of people were admitted to each imperial examination, and more than half of them were stolen by the children of powerful families and wealthy families, how could they meet the needs of a country's officials.

Recommendation is also a way, but this old gentleman has no backstage, so the state and county have been studying for a lifetime, and Zuihou only mixed with the official son of the county master Rong Xiu to retire.

Don't look at his small official, a small county lieutenant, eunuch experience, life experience may not be worse than a slaughter, just see if he has the opportunity to enter the court as an official, if Zhang Cambodia has been sitting in the county lieutenant until death, who dares to say that he has great talent?

After Yang Fan passed down the order, the old gentlemen of "Tianshu" elected him, this person had been in Guanzhong when he was an official, and he was clear about the geography and people's feelings there, and he was even clearer about the unspoken rules of the local government and the various means used by the officials and subordinates to deal with the officials.

The so-called staff, that is, the master as it was called in later generations, just didn't have this title at that time. As a staff member, you must give advice to the master and participate in confidential information; Drafting manuscripts and writing on behalf of others; Handling case files and approving adjudication; Ordered to send an envoy to contact the officialdom, he was relied on by the shogunate as his right and left hand.

Although the staff members did not have official titles and were not in the imperial court system, they were the cronies, think tanks, and personal assistants of the shogunate, and the shogunate entrusted them with important responsibilities and could not be separated. Although they are not officials themselves, they do important government affairs. Although it is said that it is an adjutant to rule, in fact, to a large extent, it is a substitute official.

With this person by Pei Junma's side, Yang Fan has taken Juzhou into his hands to a certain extent.

Pei Junma happily welcomed the old gentleman back to his house. As if you were a guest.

On Yang Fan's side, Shangguan Fei also sent news in a timely manner, and he had already inquired about the origin of the Shu merchant Long Jiutao, not only found out Long Jiuba, but also found out the identity of several Shu merchants such as Song Bazi. These people are all big merchants in Shu, and there are two big businessmen whose main business is grain. In addition, Shangguan Fei didn't find much, and he didn't find anything to do with Shen Mu.

Yang Fan instructed: "Continue to investigate, keep an eye on them, these people are not so simple." My advantage is in officialdom. But there is one thing, most of my shili is in the open, which can make them wary. Their advantage is in the rivers and lakes, and they have been suppressed by Xianzong too much before, so there are many liliang in the dark. There is a surprise effect, and it must be guarded against! ”

The Shangguan family already relied on Yang Fan. also knew that the head of the female family, Shangguan Wan'er, was actually Yang Fan's woman. Naturally, he obeyed his words, and even more so at the moment, immediately replied to Shangguan Fei, and continued to keep an eye on a group of Shu merchants who lived in King Liang's mansion.

The gang leader who was beaten by Jin Wuwei was called Yang Tianyu, and led a group of people back to the Thousand Cavalry Camp to complain about their grievances to the brothers, and explained Yang Fan's attitude. A group of brothers who shared the same hatred followed them out of the camp in a hurry.

These people hurriedly found the South Market, those Jin Wuwei took a fruit from the east family, and the west family copied the melon seeds, and they were still cruising around the market, Yang Tianyu didn't say a word. As soon as he said hello, a group of men from the Qianqi Battalion pounced, and the two sides fought in Nanshi, which made Nanshi chickens and dogs jump for a while.

When Luoyang Wei Tang Zong heard the news and led a group of fast patrols to Nanshi, the soldiers of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion had already roared over and left in triumph, leaving only some Jin Wuwei with blue noses and swollen faces and crooked feet.

Tang County Lieutenant led people to inquire about the situation, but they were scolded by those Jin Wuwei, and then they supported each other and scolded each other.

Everyone is a soldier, and if you beat me, I have to use the same means to get it back, otherwise I can still hold my head up among the officers and soldiers of the more than 20 guards in the north and south of Kyoto? Looking for the patrol officials to come out? I can't afford to lose that man! Those who are in charge of lowly labor can bully the flat-headed people, it's a fart!

Tang Zong really didn't care about these bad things between the forbidden army, but when he heard those Jin Wuwei threaten to find a place for the Thousand Cavalry Camp when he went back, he was worried. If this really develops into a large-scale armed brawl, ...... although the scale of the brawl is not small now, he, the captain of Luoyang, is responsible.

But the "bitter master" is Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi and the general of Jin Wuwei, will people need him to come forward? It would be difficult to do this without the bitter master, and besides, the side that beat people was the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and the Thousand Cavalry Battalion couldn't even manage the military department and the political affairs hall, so how could Luoyang Mansion be qualified to detain them for questioning?

If a soldier violates the law, it is not up to them to ask about it from the civil yamen, and the Thousand Cavalry Battalion is an extremely special existence in the army, and it may only be effective if it is reported to the King of Jian'an and the general of Yulinwei, Wu Youyi.

King Jian'an, King Hanoi, between the two kings, he Luoyang Wei is not even a judge, he is just a little ghost, he will only go to these two Wu princes to find himself uncomfortable. In desperation, Tang Zong had no choice but to clean up the scene, and the people who led him left with a frown.

The beaten Jin Wuwei right patrol envoy is named Ding Sheng, he himself has high martial arts, and he is protected by his subordinates, and the injury is not serious, but when he returned to the Jin Wuwei camp, he asked someone to carry him to see Wu Yizhong, Wu Yizhong didn't care who provoked first, as soon as he heard that his own people were rectified by Yang Fan one after another, and his face was shaved to a fine light, he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and immediately went to Yang Fan to settle accounts.

Ding Sheng hurriedly stopped: "General, no!" ”

Wu Yizong stared at him and said, "Why not? Do you say I am afraid of him? ”

Ding Sheng said: "The general has repeatedly tried to embarrass him, but he has resolved all of them, not because the general's authority is not as heavy as his, but because we didn't take advantage of it first." ”

Wu Yizong glared and said, "Does this king need to reason with him?" ”

Ding Sheng smiled bitterly: "But he is not an idle person, as soon as this matter is big, it will have to be decided by the emperor. ”

Wu Yizong looked at him and said, "What the hell do you kid have again?" ”

Ding Sheng smiled and said, "On the way back from his humble position, he thought of a way to not only rectify him, but also make him unspeakable!" ”

Wu Yizong said angrily: "When did you become such a mother-in-law, let it go if you have a fart!" ”

Yang Fan sent Pei Junma and his new staff away, and stayed at home that day. In the evening of the same day. A thousand-horse guard came to the mansion and reported to Yang Fan, saying that he would send more people to the palace tomorrow, and asked Yang Fan to also be on duty in the palace.

Yang Fan thought about it, tomorrow is not the period of the court meeting, and the court meeting has just been held today, and according to the rule, the court should be closed tomorrow, so he asked: "What is the big event in the palace tomorrow?" ”

The thousand horsemen said: "There will be a big banquet in the palace tomorrow, and it is said that all the prime ministers and several princes will attend." ”

Yang Fan suddenly nodded and said, "Got it." Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace. ”

After the soldier left, Yang Fan thought about it, and always felt that something seemed to happen, and he wanted to make someone investigate. Shangguan Fei of the Ministry of Rites came to visit, and only then did Yang Fan suddenly realize.

Shangguan Fei said: "It was matched by Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping." Tomorrow Bixia will hold a ...... It's a family feast. It's just that all the prime ministers also have to attend, and the prime minister and the king of Luling have to go, maybe it's ......"

Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hmm! King Luling has been returning to Beijing for a while, so I'm afraid I will explain to the prime ministers before the official Yi Chu. ”

Shangguan Fei smiled and said, "The general really guessed it, if it weren't for that." There is no other explanation. It is rare for the general to return to the house, and he will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, so he will rest early, and the next official will leave. ”

Yang Fan said: "It's already here." Why don't you go after dinner, let's have two drinks. ”

Shangguan Fei said: "In the palace tomorrow, the Ministry of Rites sent a subordinate official to be on duty, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he changed the day, another day." ”

Early the next morning, Yang Fan went to the palace, dispatched guards, and arranged defense. There is no court meeting today, and the people who go to the banquet must enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate behind the palace, so the deployment at the Xuanwu Gate is particularly rigorous. When the sun was up, the people who went to the banquet came one after another.

Li Zhenxiu rode to Miyagi on horseback, frowning. Today's emperor's family banquet, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate, but the palace specially named his name, which is a special honor, and he should be happy. But he knew why the emperor was so kind to him.

The emperor had already hinted at him that he wanted him to stop his wife and remarry and marry Zhang Yizhi's mother, Mrs. Azang. Li Zhenxiu is very satisfied with his wife, he is from a family, gentle and virtuous, let him stop his wife and marry another, and the other party is a few years older than him, he really doesn't want to.

What's more, he has the reputation of being the first romantic figure in Kyoto, coupled with his talent and learning, his career and future are guaranteed, if he marries Zhang Yizhi's mother, he will inevitably give people a feeling of being lucky, and he will become a joke from all walks of life in Kyoto, and he can't hold his head up in front of relatives and friends.

This is an intolerable loss for Li Zhenxiu, who cherishes feathers very much and has become a celebrity in Kyoto, but the emperor has come forward, can he not agree? If he doesn't agree, depending on how favored Zhang Yizhi is in front of the emperor, his future will be ruined.

The Xuanwu Gate is imminent, and Li Zhenxiu sighed bitterly.

In the Xifang Courtyard, the Zhang brothers, who were already living in the palace, had already arrived, and they also invited a few friends to come, because the distinguished guests had not arrived and the banquet had not been held, and they and those friends were playing chess for fun.

Zhang Yizhi took the lead in white, and a middle-aged man opposite, in the face of Zhang Yizhi's chess number, frowned from time to time, and repeatedly groaned, obviously unable to deal with it, Zhang Changzong and several other chess viewers saw him meditating hard, and it was difficult to get a son for a long time, and they couldn't help laughing.

Yang Fan was quite surprised when he cruised so far, and called a guard and asked: "Today's emperor's family banquet, not everyone can come, who is playing chess with Zhang Fengchen?" ”

The soldier said: "It's Zhang Fengchen's friend, and the accent is from Shudi, so it seems that he is called Song Bazi." ”

Yang Fan's heart tightened: "Song Bazi? Isn't it just those Shudi businessmen, these people got on the line with Zhang Yizhi so quickly, and they were actually invited to the palace to participate in the emperor's family banquet. ”

Yang Fan looked up, and saw that the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, Qing official Shilang, was pointing in the distance, placing a few musicians, and immediately walked towards him.
