The liveliness of Kyoto is no less than the smoke of gunpowder outside the city, there is always a dark tide surging, in the dim sword pavilion, the blindfolded swordsman said softly: "You are not as interested in this apprentice as Chen Chang'an, the second uncle dodged the murderous sword of the sword mound, but he could not escape the compassion of the Buddha, it is really ironic." ”

The other party's eyes were empty, and his fingers flicked lightly on the ink hanging on the wall, "Su Wen's copper coin is not easy to take, it is really difficult to borrow." ”

In a side hall of the palace, the sick Zhou Budo was lying on the slope of the marble carved dragon wall, looking at the carrier pigeon flying away in the sky with half-squinted eyes, a letter slipped from his hand, and muttered: "Baidaizong just likes to have nothing to do." ”

Yin Cao's team was ordered to go out of the city, the dark blue ghost suit seemed to be out of the customs ghost, walking on the street above the wind suddenly, each Yin Cao ferryman was equipped with two knives called two breaks, one long and one short, the handle of the knife is half a foot longer than the ordinary blade, especially the short knife, the blade and the handle are almost the same.

No one dares to stop such a swagger through the city, the city gate guards glimpsed from afar and hurriedly tore open the stake for its release, in Kyoto you can be unstoppable, and even scold Li Jucheng The old man is no one will care, Yin Cao rarely kills people behind his back, but when Yin Cao stands in front of you, it will not allow you to act disrespectfully, for these ferrymen, people who don't want to kill, even if they are full of rumors about changing the dynasty all day long, they can turn a deaf ear, but if you deserve to die, even if it is a relative of the emperor, you can kill it.

So that the people look at these fierce and vicious ghosts are full of joy, since the reign of Emperor Wenmu has never had a word prison, so that the trumped-up charges are even more unheard of, sometimes compared to the Jingzhao Mansion of the gang of dogs and people of the government is more reasonable, on the contrary, those people in the rivers and lakes, and even the officials in the court are afraid of these yin hunts, and they are cautious all day long, so that in the past few days, the Yin Cao's family went to Cangzhou, so that some guys have the courage to deliver a few famous thorns to the Yishui Palace.

Shen Bancheng, who was left at home, watched the ferry envoy leave, smiled obscurely, and quietly went to a carpenter shop to make plaques, unlike the stinginess of the little servant, his fun lies in how to make money, when Su Wen walked out of the city gate, he was destined to make a lot of money this time.

When he returned to the courtyard, an old man had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and Shen Bancheng was a little stunned, because the other party seemed to have come a little earlier.

"What is the reason why Lao Shoufu came here today, it can't be that he came here for me!" Shen Bancheng said with a smile, even the children in Kyoto knew that the owner of this house was assigned to Chenzhou, and Li Jucheng, who was the first assistant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, naturally knew better than anyone else.

The old man stretched out two fingers to take out a piece of jujube cake from the plate, and only took half of it. ”

Hearing this, Shen Bancheng immediately walked over quickly with a look of respect for the elder, beat the old man's legs with a smile, and said softly: "Grandpa Shoufu, if you have something, just say it." ”

"What are you doing these days, I don't think I know, Moyang City has become your Shen family's bag, and you have paid attention to Kyoto, how much appetite your Shen family has. Li Jucheng snorted coldly, but he wasn't really angry, it was all a joke with his juniors.

"Hehe, sure enough, I can't hide anything from your old man, the three famous families in the capital, these three surnames almost monopolize the commerce of the entire Kyoto and even the neighboring Huangzhou and Chenzhou, the background of the three major families is no worse than my Shen family, and it has always been a watchdog at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately now it is going to change the taste, isn't Grandpa Shoufu just annoying? The kid is here to help grandpa solve his difficulties. ”

Shen Bancheng had a word, and he didn't look at whether the old man's expression had changed, and continued: " The Zhou family doesn't have to say, a hundred years of inheritance, and the relationship with the Chen family can be said to be a higher level than the emperor's relatives, in addition to the Huai Wenyuan old lady, as a veteran of the three dynasties, protégés are all over, really to talk about it, he is the one who can be called more powerful than you The important minister, the Huai family is a famous family in Huangzhou, and there is an opportunity for a person to get the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven, hehe, there are a few courtiers in this world who dare to say that it is a real two-sleeved breeze, even if they don't think about themselves, the high hall of the family, wives and sons, and then marry a few noble and expensive in-laws, and the Qing officials have to be corrupt officials。 ”

Li Jucheng chuckled and nodded, saying that the tiger father has no dogs, but the most uncompetitive ones are all the generals and the queens.

"One family has taken a fancy to the elder brother, and the younger brother who has found the right one, but it is a pity that the other Song family is considered to be the old foundation of this Kyoto, and it was good to keep the ancestral property with peace of mind, but it was blinded by lard, and I wanted to probe my claws from the mall to the officialdom, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?" Shen Bancheng said this, and suddenly looked at the old man with a smirk, like a student who had finished selling his literary talents and was waiting for the teacher's praise.

Li Jucheng stroked his beard and said abruptly: "Back then, your Shen family was also a big hand in Kyoto, if it wasn't for the words of the nobles, selling all the family property, and moving the family to Moyang City, how could there be such a scenery now, then the Song family has eaten the old book for so many years but still doesn't know how to be satisfied, it's time to change people." ”

Shen Bancheng paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Grandpa Shoufu, is this considered collusion between officials and businessmen, I thought I would come by myself, but your sudden arrival of the hydrangea caught me a little off guard, and I didn't pick it up, and I didn't pick it up." ”

"Haha. Li Jucheng stroked his beard and laughed, "Your kid's heart and eyes are the same as your grandfather's, and his tone is the same, although the Song family is not as good as the Zhou family and the Huai family, but it is also a prestigious family that has been conscientiously passed down for generations, and you have such a big appetite for a big brat." ”

Shen Bancheng only smiled and said: "Why is it clear that the Song family took root in Kyoto the earliest, but it is the most unsatisfactory of the three, the fault is in the four words of conscientiousness in your mouth, he is not greedy enough, if he saw through the mutual benefit and symbiosis of the shopping mall and officialdom earlier, a character like Huai Wenyuan can also pile up one or two with money, and now he finally figured it out, but he chose the wrong time, it is obviously a flat burden on his shoulders, both ends must be the same weight, and suddenly a stone is added to one of the ends, can the person who erects the flat burden not hate it?" As long as the person hates, the stone is not just thrown away. ”

"The person you say about the flat shoulder doesn't mean me!" Li Jucheng pointed to himself, his old cheeks full of traces of the passage of time, allowing him to hide the most uncontrollable expression of the young man.

Shen Bancheng shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.

The old man didn't ask, but he rubbed his shoulders pretending to work hard, the old man who helped the building to tilt showed tiredness for the first time, this kind of thing didn't need him to do it himself, and the few righteous sons under him were not the only ones, as long as he spoke, someone would do it, but as the first person hesitated, it was like a strand of hemp rope broken, and then the second person asked why, and the third person also began to think, when the whole hemp rope was broken, he also changed from the first person in the Northern Wei Dynasty who had no last resort, to the old Shoufu who was dizzy and dizzy。

Wu Anhou, who was dressed in a Ming and yellow unicorn robe, the general of Cangzhou who was in charge of Wei Wushu, and the lord of the evil ghosts and yin Cao in the yang world, all had their own ideas, and even forced themselves to agree, and even he thought that he was really old to the point of pedantic, and began to make mistakes, but he still wanted to insist on insisting, some things were not useful when he opened his mouth at the moment, Li Zaizhong was loyal to the surname of Li, Li Zaixiao and filial piety was the real emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Li Zaixin believed in the realm that everyone did not understand, but the world has never revolved around the Chen and Li families, even the Northern Wei Dynasty, or this Kyushu, Tibi Pavilion once gave this old man's comment is, the body of a mortal, comparable to the gods, the world thinks they understand, but in fact they don't understand anything.

"You put the Huai family and the Zhou family on the same scale, do you look up to the former too much, or despise the latter too much, I'm afraid that ten Huai Wenyuan can't compare to one Zhou Budoubt. ”

"Haha, Grandpa Shoufu, this is the first time you have belittled your esteemed teacher so much, how dare you say this to him when we meet him in the future. Zhou Budo chuckled and said, who doesn't know Li Jucheng's respect for Huai Wenyuan, and every time he sees him, he has to respect his teacher, but it's a pity that the other party never gives him a good face.

Li Jucheng, who noticed his gaffe, rarely showed embarrassment, but he did not change his words, and continued: "Respect is one thing, belittling is another, I read him as a teacher, but after all, he is just an ordinary man, his vision is too small, if he dies after me, he will inevitably be ashamed, and personally bring wine to my grave to admit his mistakes, and say, you Li Jucheng is really the first person in the world." ”

"It's really shameless, it's the first person, how are you better than Mo Du, and how are you better than Su Carrier. Shen Bancheng gradually lost his manners, and laughed with Li Jucheng.

"I'm talking about people, are they?" Li Jucheng's eyes widened, without that first-class official uniform, he would find that he was really much kinder and cuter than ordinary old people.

However, the more the other party is like this, the more Shen Bancheng feels a trace of unease, from forcibly imprisoning Li Zaixiao in the Prime Minister's Mansion, to Tan Junzi inexplicably becoming the top of the current dynasty, and then opening the Hengyuan for Su Wen with great fanfare, and suddenly wanting to take the famous door of Kyoto at this moment, all of this thing seems too unreasonable, even too far-fetched, far-fetched to make people feel that it is the other party's mediocrity, but such an urgent arrangement shows one thing, this old man who has sheltered the Northern Wei Dynasty for thirty years is really old, and he is about to run out of oil, so he can't wait to arrange the afterlife, even if no one understands, but he is still going through it in his own way。

Mo Du and Su Chengyun can spend more time on cloth, to deduce, and then wait for the end, compared to Li Jucheng, who is too much worse, he spent ten years to enter the chess game of the two, and it took ten years for the two to have to face themselves, but the next ten years he became obscure, but these ten years are longer and more tired than his life, if this is his obsession, it will be destined to be brighter than anyone in the world.
