ps: Thank you for the 2013 reward, thank you for the encouragement of the monthly pass. I was sick for the past two days, and I finally finished this chapter, and it was painful.

Zhao Ran saw that it was yesterday's fireworker who came to the inn to deliver a message to Jiang Gaogong, so he asked with a smile: "Thank you very much yesterday, Poor Dao was in a hurry because of something, and he didn't have time to ask, so he didn't know how to call it?"

The fireworker monk saluted again: "Lord Zhao Fang is polite, the villain's surname is Lin, and his name is Shuangwen." ”

Don't look at the fire worker who has no status in the Daomen, but Zhao Ran doesn't dare to despise it, the little people have the power of the little people, at some point, they can not only add endless troubles to you, but also achieve your good deeds. For example, Lin Shuangwen, the fireworker in front of him, if it weren't for him, how could Zhao Ran see Jiang Gaogong lightly and then luckily bumped into Zhang Jianyuan. Although Zhao Ran spent an extra ten taels of silver at that time, it was really worth the money!

All the way to the original Long'an Mansion that was being occupied by the West Zhenwu Palace, Zhao Ran asked, "Are you the Ketang Fire Residence?"

"Yes. The villain has been in the guest hall for five years. ”

"When did you enter the door?"

"It's been six years since Jiajing, and it's been nine years now. ”

"So, it's been almost ten years, what are your plans after leaving the Daomen?" The ten-year deed that the fireworker monks generally sign, if they have not become a Taoist priest after ten years, they usually choose to leave, and rely on the incense they have made in the past ten years to make a living in the world, so Zhao Ran has this question.

"Yes, it's a year away. The villain's family has a restaurant in this city, and the old father asked the villain to go to the restaurant to help after leaving the palace. ”

"What do you mean? Do you want to do this?"

"The meaning of the villain, in fact, he is also willing to do the business of a restaurant, but there is still an eldest brother and sister-in-law at home......" Lin Shuangwen wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhao Ran understood as soon as he heard it, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, not to mention the family's industry. was already inherited by the eldest son, and Lin Shuangwen may not be able to reap any benefits after he goes back, and judging by the way he speaks, he may even be hostile to his brother and sister-in-law. After all, a person who has worked as a fireworker in the Dao Palace for ten years is definitely qualified to be feared.

Zhao Ran was just chatting with him, at most he was going to give him a reward of ten taels of silver. As a token of gratitude for yesterday's events, I have changed my mind at this moment, perhaps because of my diligent practice in recent times, and I have always habitually wanted to help others. The so-called teaching a man to fish is better than teaching him to fish, or simply pointing him a way out, depending on whether he can catch it.

"If you can't do it here in Fucheng, you can try to come to Guyang County to find me. ”

Lin Shuangwen said happily: "Thank you Lord Zhao!"

At this point, the conversation between the two became a little closer, and Zhao Ran took the opportunity to ask Sun Tengmo's roots. And the reason for yesterday's bad attitude towards yourself.

Lin Shuangwen knew everything: "Sun Mentou is forty-six years old, and when the villain entered the West Zhenwu Palace nine years ago, he was already the head of the guest hall. Lord Zhao Fang, you know, at this age, it is basically difficult to make any more progress. As far as the villain knows, Sun Mentou seems to want to resign after fifty, so he has been saving money for the past few years. The villain heard that there are people in the Sunmentou clan who are officials in Jiangxi. It seems that the official position is not high, and it can't give him much help. Otherwise, after so many years, I would have survived to the guest hall to know the guests, and I would not still be in charge of the first-level mess. Lord Zhao Fang, you just said that the five taels of silver door gift, this is a lot of money, when we entertain guests in the guest hall, there is a matter of communication. Generally, it is only three or five coins of silver, and if you encounter a more generous one, you will have one or two taels...... In short, if it was a villain, he would have stammered up a long time ago, even if it was Sun Mentou, at least he should greet him with a smile. The villain really couldn't understand why he was like this yesterday. Hmm, wait for the villain to think about it...... By the way, Lord Zhao Fang, do you know the head of our water house?"

"Zhuang Fangtou?" Zhao Ran thought about it, but didn't think about it.

"Zhuang Fangtou has a good relationship with my grandson and often communicates. When you came yesterday, Zhuang Fangtou was gossiping in our guest hall, and when I heard that you arrived, I took Sun Mentou out for a while, and then Sun Mentou saw you come out, and Zhuang Fangtou talked for a long time in the inner courtyard......"

Zhao Ran thought desperately, suddenly remembered suddenly, and asked, "Is there a family member and nephew in Zhuang Fangtou who is doing fire residence in Wuji Courtyard?"

"I don't know. Lin Shuangwen shook his head.

In fact, there is no need for Lin Shuangwen to say anything, Zhao Ran has already felt that the cold reception he suffered yesterday is very likely to be pouted by Zhuang Fangtou, and he doesn't know what he said, in short, it is not good for him. It's not surprising to think about it, Zhuang Huai of Wuji Courtyard was originally very competitive in the matter of being punished, but he repeatedly missed the opportunity for his own sake, and it has been three years now, and he is still an ordinary person, and it is not normal for Zhuang Fangtou not to hate himself.

Zhao Ran talked to Lin Shuangwen along the way, which made him learn a lot of effective information about the West Zhenwu Palace, and he felt very rewarded, but at the same time, he was also a little wary of Lin Shuangwen who revealed the news to him, and even began to ponder, if Lin Shuangwen really went to Guyang County to find himself after leaving the West Zhenwu Palace, how should he deal with it?

Lin Shuangwen didn't expect that the more things he revealed, the more Zhao Fangzhu would have an embankment for himself, and he still answered Zhao Ran's questions one by one, many of which were already exaggerated and subjectively speculated. However, Zhao Ran didn't care, he mainly wanted to sort out the power structure of the West Zhenwu Palace, so that he could grasp the opportunity as soon as possible.

Zhao Ran asked him again if Zhang Jian Yuan and Jiang Gaogong had any expressions or words after meeting him yesterday, but Lin Shuanghua didn't know, so Zhao Ran didn't force it anymore.

When he came to the gatehouse again, Zhao Ran felt "kind", waiting here for about a stick of incense, and he didn't see Sun Tengmo, but another doorman surnamed Li came over and said hello eagerly.

After learning the news of Zhao Ran's arrival, Jiang Gaogong personally came to the concierge to greet him, and led Zhao Ran all the way inside. Bypassing the main hall and the second hall, and passing through a garden, Jiang Gaogong took Zhao Ran to the door of a moon cave, asked him to wait, and went in to say goodbye.

On the way, Jiang Gaogong gave full play to the advantages of the inside line and revealed to Zhao Ran that in addition to Zhang Jian Yuan today, there is also Jing Zhimo, who is in charge of Jing Zhimo, and is ready to listen to Zhao Ran's specific plan. Jiang Gaogong reminded Zhao Ran that Jingduguan was a powerful figure in the Xizhenwu Palace, and he was also recognized as the successor of the Zhang Prison Academy, so Zhao Ran should remember that he must be cautious when speaking.

After introducing Zhao Ran into the temporary prison where Zhang Yunzhao lived, Jiang Gaogong turned around and left, which made Zhao Ran suddenly wake up, guessing that what Zhang Prison was talking about with himself was probably going to involve the key points, so he cheered up his spirit.

Zhang Jian Yuan sat in the center, Jing Duguan sat on his left hand side, and the guest seat on the right hand side was empty. Zhang Jian Yuan stretched out his hand to Zhao Ran and signaled: "Sit." ”

Zhao Ran took his seat after bowing, leaning sideways to Zhang Jian Yuan, ready to answer questions at any time, and at the same time looked at Jing Zhimo out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the most promising Taoist priest in the Daomen Ten Directions Jungle was only in his thirties, and his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were extremely bright.

When Zhao Ran looked at Jing Zhimo, Jing Zhimo was also looking at Zhao Ran, and there was a bit of amusement in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: It turns out that this is Zhao Zhiran who Yu Zhiyuan took care of in many ways? I don't know what the relationship is between him and the female monk surnamed Zhou in Huayun Pavilion, why have the two broken off contact in the past year? Or do they have a new way to pass on the book? Suddenly I remembered that yesterday Sun Tengmo told me that there was an acquaintance who asked to see him, could it be this person?

He was pondering the scenery of Zhao Ran's gossip, and Mo Shang didn't know why Zhang Yunzhao called him here, but he had always been Zhang Yunzhao's confidant, and Zhang Yunzhao often asked him to refer to it in both official and private matters, but he had long been used to it.

I heard Zhang Yunzhao speak: "Zhimo, this is Zhao Zhiran, the master of the Fangtang of Wuji Academy, the little Taoist priest who said in public last year, 'I have objections'. Although he is young, he also knows how to uphold justice, and I am very optimistic about him. ”

Zhao Ran was ashamed and didn't dare to say anything, but Jing Zhimo said very enthusiastically that he would definitely communicate with Zhao Ran more.

Zhang Yunzhao said again: "Today's matter, discuss it here, understand it here, and never spread it." ”

Zhao Ran and Jing Zhimo both respectfully replied "yes".

Zhang Yunzhao nodded and said to Jing Zhimo: "Yesterday, Zhao Zhiran came to visit Jiang Gaogong, and it happened that I was present, so I listened to Zhao Zhiran's intention. After going back, after thinking about it, there were a few doubts that Zhao Zhiran needed to explain in detail, so he summoned him over. ”

After explaining two sentences to Jing Zhimo, he got to the point and said to Zhao Ran: "What you said, I have a question I want to ask you." ”

Zhao Ran was overjoyed, it was better to have a problem than no problem, which showed that Zhang Yunzhao had carefully considered it, and it seemed that most of his trip to Fucheng would not run in vain. (To be continued......) R1292
