From the palace nobles to the people, they were all immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.
The roofs of the streets and alleys are covered with white snow, red lights are hung under the eaves, and the sound of firecrackers, the fragrance of delicacies, and the joyful songs of children.
Going home, reunion, and worshiping ancestors are the mainstream melody.
So a few foreigners who came from the entrance of an inn next to the Little Yan Pagoda in Chang'an City with a Huaizhou (now Henan Province) accent seemed extra sad. Two carriages were parked at the door, and the people who came down looked dusty.
During the Chinese New Year, people don’t go home to reunite, and don’t know what to do in Chang’an.
The middle-aged strong man in the middle was wearing a fur coat and followed by two servants in jackets.His name is Zhang Qi, and he is known as Zhang Daxia. He is from Hanoi, Huaizhou. He is a fellow villager with Wang Ju, the current Neifangcheng of the East Palace.
In fact, Zhang Daxia and Wang Ju were already very familiar with each other and had been in the world together. Later, Wang Ju entered the officialdom. After several ups and downs, he has now become an official again, and the relationship between the two has become a little distant.
This time, Zhang Daxia came to Beijing to see Wang Ju.
Although Zhang Daxia is known as a hero, he is completely different from the heroes who are righteous and robbed the rich and help the poor. He is also different from those who take extreme paths to assassinate for a living. Zhang Daxia almost does not do anything illegal or disorderly. He does not rely on martial arts but on his brain. Moreover, he has a family and a career in Huaizhou, but does not have a deep hatred with anyone who kills his father and takes his wife...
By this calculation, Wang Ju also worked in a heroic career after being dismissed from office in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not impossible for him to call himself a hero Wang.
Zhang Daxia walked into the inn and saw that there was a place where there were no more.
Yes, during the Chinese New Year, all the people went home to worship their ancestors. How many people stayed in the inn?
The waiter never saw him, there was only an old man behind the counter.
When the old man saw a guest coming, he greeted: Should the guest stay in a hotel or be a top student?
I stayed in a hotel, but now I don’t have much customer service. I have already booked all the hotels on the second floor. I like quietness.Zhang Daxia said extraordinary and directly asked to book a house.
The old man hurriedly put down the pen that was keeping the account and said: The business is not good during the Chinese New Year, but we are close to Zhuque Street, and the land price is not cheap... Even if there are no customers now, it is not much cheaper. In this way, I will give you 20% off...
Zhang Daxia smiled: Small money, can I make a whole building with one business, do you believe?
The old man smiled and said: "I believe it, why don't I believe it? You decided to pay the room first. You can just carry on the room on the second floor.
Zhang Daxia gestured to the people around him, and the man went to the counter to pay the money.
Zhang Daxia turned around and said: Bring all the girls in, settle down... Shopkeeper, my horses, please find someone to feed some food and take care of them.
The old man was rubbing a whole silver ingot and said without raising his head: OK, don't worry about this kind of thing.
Seeing this, Zhang Daxia smiled and said: No need to knock, you won’t be able to fill it with lead. We have to stay here for a few days. If you knock it slowly, you won’t be in a hurry to see it.
At this time, two beautifully dressed girls in the carriage got out of the car and came in. They saw that the two girls were very plump and had double chins, which could be considered obese.
The two women still looked very happy when staying in the inn during the New Year. Look at their outfits, they were probably prostitutes, so they were homeless and didn't care about these things anymore.
One of them said with a smile: The boat was so big last time. This time, Zhang Lang bought a building as soon as he came. We always met rich people.
Zhang Daxia said: I will eat delicious food and drink with me, and I will not treat you badly.
After saying that, he went upstairs with the servants and girls. After settling down, he told the servants to watch out for the two women not to walk around, and then took a follower out.
Zhang Daxia went straight to Wang Ju's mansion. When he came to the palace, he saw a new couplet and a door god on the door. It seemed that Wang Ju was very comfortable in the capital, especially during the New Year's worship of ancestors. The standards of officials were different from those of the people, and he was also shining in terms of face.
He called the door to hand over the post. After waiting for a while, he saw Wang Ju greeting him in person...
The corner door is opened. Although the door can only be opened for officials of the same level or superior level according to etiquette. Zhang Daxia's identity is a slut, and doing this is completely in line with etiquette, Zhang Daxia still feels a little chill, even colder than staying in an inn during the Chinese New Year.
Brother Zhang!Wang Ju shouted enthusiastically and said in surprise, "Why are you here in Chang'an?"
Compared with the short Wang Ju, Zhang Daxia's appearance is more imposing.A smile suddenly appeared on his face: Oh, how can I stand your "Brother"?
Wang Ju said seriously: Last year, Wang was in the world. It was not because Brother Zhang brought him one, and his livelihood was very difficult. We are friends in times of distress!Please come in and let’s sit down and talk about your friendship.
Zhang Daxia smiled indifferently: He said heavy words, and everyone has to rely on friends when going out. There is no need to mention any trivial matters.There is a difference between officials and the people, and I really can't bear it.
Let's only talk about brotherhood, regardless of status and official position.Wang Ju insisted, "It's still like before, you call me Silang, I call you Brother Zhang, it sounds comfortable."
Zhang Daxia smiled and did not comment, so he entered the mansion with Wang Ju.When he walked into the living room, Wang Ju had to exchange greetings for a while, asking about the situation in his hometown, and missing his past friendship.
Zhang Daxia thought to himself: Since the Wang surnamed has a self-controlled identity, he will only speak good words in official voices. If I really regard him as a so-called brother, wouldn’t it be boring to myself?
Instead, it will make the relationship awkward, so it is better to just talk about the benefits.
After thinking about it, Zhang Daxia said: It’s not surprising that people are proud and frustrated. In the past, those were trivial matters and nothing is worthy of... But this time I can really help you, and your husband wants to owe me a favor.
help me?Wang Ju blurted out, with a little contempt in his tone, but then asked quietly, "How can Mr. Zhang help me?"
Zhang Daxia said with a slight smile: If you really help the husband, I agreed that you will also help me once and give me this favor, haha...
Wang Ju smiled and said: You and I are from the same hometown, are you still afraid that I will deny it?It doesn’t sound nice to talk about when you go home in the future... It depends on how much Zhang Daxia is busy, and Wang won’t let you suffer a loss.
That's that's that.Zhang Daxia laughed again, that's right. It would be better for everyone to trade fairly, so as not to be unreliable brotherly relationships and awkward.
He pondered for a moment and said: I will talk about the process of this matter. The husband should understand... Last time he took over the order business: There was an unkind person in the world (Bai Wuchang) betrayed his fellow workers, which aroused public outrage. Several gangs who made a living among the merchant gangs wanted to punish this person. Unexpectedly, she climbed up with Princess Taiping's son Xue Chongxun and boarded Xue Lang's official boat to go south.You know that those gangs have their own scope of activities and it is not convenient to contact each other. If you have to travel a few prefectures and counties for a long distance, it will be difficult to follow the whereabouts of the traitor....Zhang is also a little famous in the world. Everyone knows that I know many friends and it is easy to find people on the ground, so I entrusted this matter to me and let me keep an eye on the traces of the traitor.This matter was not an important matter at first, but I made an additional discovery...
Zhang Daxia then looked around, leaned his head to Wang Ju, and whispered: One day in the middle of the night, Xue Lang took his people off the boat and walked quietly north. He went to Youzhou and only came back for nearly a month.I won’t say much about this matter, and I don’t understand it either. My husband should understand it.
Wang Ju's eyelids jumped and he asked in a deep voice: Is this true?
Zhang Daxia smiled and said: When Xue Chongxun was sailing south, he bought a group of prostitutes and was dismissed after arriving in Chuzhou.I sent someone to check their words, two of them happened to see Xue Chongxun disembarking that night, and then they had never appeared on the official boat for more than 20 days... I bought these two prostitutes and took them with me; the news that Xue Chongxun went to Youzhou was followed by my people, and my servant also brought them.
I finished speaking, how much is the reason for this news?Zhang Daxia said with a smile.
Wang Ju couldn't help but look at this hero with admiration. Can this hero in the martial arts world accurately grasp the situation in the palace?
Wang Ju pondered for a moment and said: I want to buy those two prostitutes and your slave. I wonder how much it will cost to buy three people?
Zhang Daxia laughed and said: How much money can three cheap people be worth?The husband is right away and you will give it as much as you say... I believe that you value the friendship between fellow villagers and friends the most. You should give a sincere price, and I will not bargain.
Wang Ju lowered his head and pondered in embarrassment, and said to himself: He said lightly, but don’t the heroes also like interests?
If I can't give a satisfactory price, he can sell the witness to Xue Chongxun!
Xue Chongxun is definitely willing to buy it at a high price!
Wang Ju, who had just become an official for a short time, was also a seventh-rank official, so his salary was naturally not much. At this time, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: Don’t be reluctant to give up the little profit in front of him, and look forward to the long-term!
He said cruelly: My house is rewarded by the prince. It is close to Zhuque Street, and it is convenient for court and convenience. Many colleagues are envious of it. It will definitely be sold at a good price. I will pay it to you. What if you replace those three people?
Just then, Zhang Daxia suddenly laughed.Wang Ju looked at him in confusion: Is it too little?
Zhang Daxia shook his head and said: There are so many.You are really generous. I gave it to me. Where do you live?A gentleman does not take away what others love... How can three lowly slaves and servants be worthy of a property in Chang'an?In this way, if you do a favor, we will be even.
you say.Wang Ju said.
Zhang Daxia said: There is a hero named Linghu Dazhong who was taken to the Ministry of Justice and seemed to be treated as a thief.But I know this person. He is very loyal and does not do anything harmful to the world. If you find a way to get him out, I will give you those three people... As for external things like gold and silver, don't worry about it. Brother Linghu will probably thank you some gifts and just buy some wine to drink.
Wang Ju thought for a while and said: It’s done!I will let this person go out and you can send those three people to my house after you meet them.
The roofs of the streets and alleys are covered with white snow, red lights are hung under the eaves, and the sound of firecrackers, the fragrance of delicacies, and the joyful songs of children.
