Gu Dafu Yuan was a jinshi in the same year, and in his early years, he was in the Kyoto Rite Department, which was a relatively idle position, but for him, at the feet of this kind of Qingshui Yamen, the Son of Heaven, he led some cold money all day long, bribed a share of the top, and socialized with other colleagues was equivalent to nothing.

Before and after the first battle of the Li River, a large number of officials in Cangzhou said that they were sick and resigned, and there were a group of people who were transferred to other states and counties.

At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty took advantage of the momentum of the destruction of Western Shu, and also seized the delicate period when the Northern Wei Dynasty was recovering from a serious illness and the new emperor ascended to the throne. Jiang Liangzhou only took less than half a year to fall, although there are many local officials disheartened with the imperial court and voluntarily surrendered, but it is still undeniable that the Southern Tang Dynasty millions of deer bow unstoppable, Rao is the most difficult Shu road in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack the West Shu, known as having 300,000 mountains and wading like walking on the ground of Shu power, in the end was also covered by the arrow feathers that covered the sky and the sun to fill the three rivers, collapsed the Shu road, forced the Western Shu Emperor to surrender and commit suicide.

In the face of such a tiger and wolf army, even those who have gotten into the eyes of money have to soberly weigh how much this deal of eating meat on the tip of a knife is worth.

When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military learned that the army was under the city of Cangzhou, facing a young emperor who was only thirteen years old, how many people had the mind of the death of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the old man who supported the general of the building sat in the hall without saying a word, and he was the only one in the entire magnificent Taihe Hall who was qualified to give a Taishi chair, and there was no need to bow down.

It wasn't until the hall was silent for half a quarter of an hour that the old man finally got up from his seat, his still sharp gaze was just the depth of more years of precipitation, and almost no one dared to look up at each other when he swept through the hall, why almost, because the two of them caught the old prime minister's gaze, one was Li Zaizhong, who was a hussar general at the time, and the other was Changming in the Ministry of Rites.

The latter came to his senses under the reminder of his boss Liu Shangshu, after all, standing on the top of the main hall rarely had the turn to get such idle officials as them who had no real power in their hands to speak, so they were very tired from standing, and over time they also developed a good ability to open their eyes and fantasize, who would have thought that when he was wandering the world, he happened to be looked at by Prime Minister Li.

Being seen by this old man who was almost the age of sixtieth year, he couldn't help but tremble, this feeling was tantamount to being stared at coldly by a grandmaster of the Dust Realm, and when he was about to collapse to the ground with his legs limp, he heard the old prime minister whisper softly.

"Chang Langzhong, when your volume was still reviewed by the old man, I felt that I was mourning and cutting, smooth and refreshing, and I really buried your talent by leaving you in an idle place like the Ministry of Rites over the years. ”

Chang Ming was flattered, who didn't know that the old man was in the temple today, but it was even more joyful than the holy decree of the saint's promotion, but this opportunity that must have been subjected to countless envious eyes on weekdays was swept away with his afterglow, and he clearly saw several colleagues with sympathetic smiles behind their backs, and his mind sank for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

"It's a pity that such a big talent is in the Ministry of Rites, Liu Shangshu, what do you think?"

Liu Yudu had to nod helplessly and said yes, under the gaze of the other party, he should not look up with a wat board in his hand, and said loudly: "The minister recommended Chang Langzhong to serve as the political envoy of Cangzhou, and Chang Langzhong was in Tianxing's three-year performance review, twenty-seven, ranked second-class, clear and clear, and virtuous, he must be able to take on this position, appease the people of Cangzhou, and re-enforce the law." ”

Chang Ming's face was pale, and he was supported by his colleagues beside him, Li Jucheng only smiled slightly, and the young emperor finally became the last straw that overwhelmed the new political envoy of Cangzhou, as for whether he was carried out of the hall in the end, or walked out by himself, even now he can't tell.

Cangzhou's dilapidated officialdom was propped up by Chang Ming and his protégés, although Chang Ming was in the Ministry of Rites Qingshui Yamen for seven years, but the protégé is a rare peach and plum all over the world, one is that he is already brilliant, these years can settle down to write more chewy articles, the other is that the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian control the people of the world together, naturally it is indispensable to be close to the scholars, as for the most important military attache thought that it was Li Zaizhong, who had outstanding achievements in the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, to stay in Cangzhou General, or Li Zaixin, who is known as the Yin Ghost General, but it is the most unexpected scholar Li Zaixiao, alone, Tsing Yi and white horse, but no one could have imagined that with this nameless person who was just writing letters in the military camp, he would trample on the prestige of the invincible deer bow at the feet of Wei Wushu.

Gu Dafu was an official in Cangzhou with Chang Ming, and the more than 20 protégés cried like a dead mother, only he happily let his family pack up the family property, and threw away what he couldn't take away, and he always looked easy to take office.

Just as people underestimate the last Yizi, but also underestimate how eye-catching Cangzhou's silver two are, the four states pay taxes, of which fifty percent are imported into the most direct front of the north-south confrontation, and most of Cangzhou is like an awl deeply inserted into the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the real money and silver consumed in it every year are piled up.

The silver that has passed over the years has made those protégés who cried for their fathers and mothers get soft, Gu Dafu, as the first pioneer to express his position, naturally accounted for a lot of benefits, second only to Qingfeng County of Heyang County, there is Changming's biggest umbrella, Rao is Gu Xiaocheng killed people on the street, and it is also a big crime to take off his hat when he goes to anyone's house, which is enough to see what a prestige and blessing.

In the past few years, the original ambition has long been exhausted by gold and silver, the biggest backer of this Sanxian Lou is the Zuobu political envoy who once wrote the article on saving the world and saving the country, and has accumulated countless wealth, which can be said to be the intersection of the entire Cangzhou underground money field, and the ties are even far involved in the rest of the states and counties, and it is already self-evident that there is an official background behind the Qinglou Casino, but how many of them force good people to prostitution, kill people and sell more dirty things, those who used to even kill chickens to be moved by the scholars, now play these bloodless soft knives are more hateful than bandits and robbers。

On the way here, Su Wen learned something, even if these are all deliberately told to him by Nan Chaxing, it doesn't matter, if you say that greed is understandable, it's like a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights to guard a steamed bun shop, but he still has to kill people to make meat filling, so greedy that he eats people without spitting out bones, such an ugly eating appearance, don't blame the gods who raise their heads three feet.

Nan Chasing Star has long been gone, such a large money-collecting organization is the industry of Gu Dafu on the surface, but in the final analysis, it is just a ledger that records the ledger, and wants to pull out the entire rotten tree in one fell swoop, and the huge money empire built by hundreds of officials in Cangzhou, including Chang Ming, this is the great gift that Li Zaixiao handed over to Chen Maochuan before leaving, but now he has changed someone to take over.

Later generations recorded that Cangzhou during that period of time produced two His Royal Highnesses the King of Qi, one killed from the north to the south, and one killed from the south to the north, killing the entire Cangzhou officialdom thoroughly, and since then the wind of corruption has been cut off in the past ten years, Rao is those shrewd and corrupt officials who were lucky enough to keep their official hats also swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, silently took their hands back, and were glad that there were still a few achievements in addition to corruption over the years.

But this is all later, at this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Qi wearing sackcloth is weighing the gold and silver in his hands, and walked for half an hour, I have to say that the largest casino in Cangzhou is indeed readily available, from the ordinary pai gow dice, to the cockfighting and gambling chess in the lanes on the street, as long as you want to get it, there is nothing that you can't find.

Qigui followed closely behind Su Wen one step at a time, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to the three hundred taels of snowflake silver, he would disappear, and seeing that the young master had been gone for a long time and had no intention of making a move, he pouted and said, "Young master, do you know how to gamble?"

Su asked the old god and said: "I haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run, it's all clearly written in this book." ”

Passing by an overcrowded platform, no one looked down on this young man in sackcloth, just when he saw a young master in the same dress is a hundred taels of gold, and the people who came over to learn from young Tsing Yi will naturally not scold at this moment, what kind of taste are these boys, they can't help but sigh that the years are like knives, and then let them be cheeky to learn that Tsing Yi white horse is making jokes.

It didn't cause too much noise, and most of the people who came here came for gambling money, of course, in order to arouse the desire of these gamblers even more, the dealers were all twenty-eight years old Miaolin women, with excellent posture, and the appearance was not inferior to those oirans, and the close-fitting skirt outlined the concave and convex figure, and the gestures will be full and highlighted in front of the body, just to listen to the soft and flattering light call, which attracted countless gamblers to bet.

Su Wen said that he was proficient in everything, but in fact, even he knew the truth of losing nine out of ten bets, not to mention that he was a young boy who was a little whiter than a blank piece of paper, and in terms of gambling skills, he was afraid that he would be able to take out all the silver in his pocket with three or two clicks from that little pretty girl, after all, he didn't come here to do that wrong.

The loss is that this casino has everything, even the rare boxing on the market is here, the method is simple is nothing more than buying who wins and who loses, the two boxers on the stage at the moment, Su Wen just glanced at it, and felt ashamed, looking down, the three taels of lean meat on the thighs are only afraid that they are not as thick as the other party's forearms.

The fight on the stage was wonderful, and the audience was also lively, the two of them were obviously practicing their families, and they wondered if it was not as stable as this to be a caretaker in a big family, but they saw that two people in the crowd were far more excited than the surroundings, and they probably guessed the master's words, the world of the next person breaking his leg was cold, and a penny was difficult for a hero, and it was not a lie anywhere.

The corners of Su Wen's mouth rose slightly, and he turned around and laughed evilly at the thinner little servant, and said leisurely:

"Seven expensive, do you want to eat pork? ”
