Chapter 36 Brother Fen

After Pan Dahuzi came out of Li Shouli's mansion, he remembered what Xue Chongxun asked him to do, so he rushed to the state jail to refer people and took out the horse crayfish who was detained in the cell as a horse thief.

The bearded man has been an official in Youzhou for several years and has many acquaintances in the government. It is indeed easy to mention someone.

After getting the horse crazy out, Pan Dahuzi was shocked when he saw it. But in less than a day, Pity, the young man, was so angry that he was not as good as a man. He was dressed in rags, had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and was covered in injuries.

After seeing him, Pan Haoli asked some questions, but he ignored him and said nothing.Later, I finally said something. I don’t know, otherwise Pan Haoli would really think he was a mute.

Pan Haoli asked someone to clean up Ma Chi, apply medicine on the wound, and change his clothes.

At this time, his hands came down to report that the person he was following moved to Xinglong Restaurant on Zhouqian Street.

So Pan Haoli sent someone to secretly send him to the restaurant.

The next day, Li Shouli summoned several officials to discuss the major event, but the few people still did not reach an agreement.

Pan Haoli and Na Lushi's opinion on joining the army was to simply surrender to Princess Taiping: since it is two choices, you can only protect yourself at most and you cannot get credit or benefits; choosing Princess Taiping is a coexistence of risks and opportunities.

However, Sima Yuan Jiazuo insisted on taking the right path, which was safer.

At this time, Pan Haoli suggested meeting Xue Chongxun first, so that he could not only confirm his identity, but also find out the verbal whim.

Li Shouli agreed. Considering that he was King Fen and his title was one level higher than Xue Chongxun, he asked Pan Haoli to secretly contact Xue Chongxun and sent it to the mansion to meet.

……

Xue Chongxun saw Ma Chi in Xinglong Restaurant and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Chi kept saying: Mr. Lang, I didn’t say anything!The rich man who caught me was so unreasonable. He didn't ask anything and thought he was a horse thief. He beat me up and sent me to prison. He was examined by the pen and pen officer for a while. I didn't say a word, and they beat me up again when they were angry...

Xue Chongxun helped him up and said: Loyalty is commendable. You could have claimed another merit, but the mistake in this matter was almost caused by something else. The mistakes and the credit were counterproductive. I will neither punish you nor reward you. Are you convinced?

Ma Chi hurriedly said: Xie Langjun is magnanimous.

Xue Chongxun nodded: It’s good that you are fine. After the big thing is done, I’ll ask Pan Dahuzi to let you out this anger.

At this moment, the guards outside came in to report that the bearded man Pan wanted to see the husband.

After Xue Chongxun asked, he led the guards to the restaurant and met Pan Haoli. It turned out that Li Shouli was going to meet.

Xue Chongxun got on Pan Haoli's felt car and went to Fenwang Mansion with him.

The carriage walked into the gate before they got out of the carriage.

Xue Chongxun looked back and saw that the Fen Prince's Mansion was not particular, and even seemed a little dilapidated, probably worse than his Duke Wei's Mansion.

The local area is indeed not as luxurious as Chang'an. No wonder my mother was so angry when she was forced to move to Puzhou.

I also heard that after Li Shouli escaped from the imprisonment, he took a lot of concubines. After a few years, he actually had dozens of more children... His food seals may cost him a lot of money to raise wives, concubines and children.

Xue Chongxun came to the living room with Pan Haoli. He saw a middle-aged man with a hunchback sitting in the middle with a vulgar expression on his face. Who is it not Li Shouli?

When Emperor Zhongzong of Tang ascended the throne, Xue Chongxun often saw him at various banquets, so the two knew each other.

Xue Lang, why did you come to Youzhou?Li Shouli stood up from his seat and made a few random movements, very unpretentious, and he really had no demeanor.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Brother Fen, I haven’t seen you for a few years, and I thought you couldn’t remember me anymore.

Li Shouli is the son of Prince Zhanghuai. His father, Prince Zhanghuai, Prince Taiping, Li Xian, and Li Dan, are both children of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong...

Therefore, Xue Chongxun and Li Shouli are of the same generation. When they were in Chang'an, all the princes and nobles liked to call Li Shouli Fen Brother, so Xue Chongxun called him that.

This title made Li Shouli happy and became more kind. He had been in Youzhou for several years. The princes and grandsons of Chang'an could not remember him anymore. How could he hear a kind word "Fen Brother?"

Li Shouli smiled obscenely: At that time, Xue Lang seemed very shabby in front of the princes, and I really didn't pay much attention to you at that time.

As soon as these words were spoken, Pan Haoli, Yuan Jiazuo and the other three looked at each other with a very ugly expression.

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, but he smiled again and said: It's Ah, it's really not a turn of mountains and rivers, but we're meeting again.Look, I am now in Chang'an. This time I was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When I came to Luoyang, I might become the king when I returned to Chang'an. Haha... Brother Fen is still in Youzhou and I don't know if he can make a name for himself?

Li Shouli touched his head, didn't care, and continued to smile obscenely: I'm living a very happy life in Youzhou, and I don't really want to go back to Chang'an... But Pan Dahuzi and others said that it would be fine if you come to me. I'm afraid I'll be taken back to Daming Palace and locked up again. I beat you every three days and every five days. Alas, it's really not a life for people...

The envoy... Pan Haoli finally couldn't help but interrupt Li Shouli and said embarrassedly, because the situation was subtle, the envoy had to think more, which was not the case (it was definitely not a good thing). The Duke of Wei traveled thousands of miles to Youzhou... and secretly investigated the transportation of the canal. We should treat each other with courtesy, but we were unable to control ourselves and were afraid that others would make a mistake.

Xue Chongxun glanced at Pan Haoli, then said to Li Shouli: Brother Fen, look at you, you assistant, you are all in a circle. I don’t blame him. After all, he is not a brother.It’s not that there is no good thing for me, just say it, I’m here to help Brother Fen this time.

Li Shouli opened his eyes wide and looked at Xue Chongxun and said: Why are you helping me?

Xue Chongxun said: I was doing serious business in Luoyang and playing with women. The female Taoist priests were played with by me. They were originally very happy... While he was talking, he observed Li Shouli's expression. When he heard about playing with women, he immediately showed a very interested look. Xue Chongxun felt a little funny in his heart.

He continued: ...But the court sent a censor Yang Sidao to come down. Yang Sidao, do you know?The person promoted by the prince.The guy was very idle when he arrived in Luoyang. He also followed his eunuch Yu Liben, who was not a good thing. He came to Youzhou in the name of interviews. Why do you think it is?

When Xue Chongxun mentioned Yu Liben, the others' eyes widened a little because they were also thinking about Yu Liben's eunuch these days.

Pan Haoli was impatient and blurted out: Why did Eunuch Yu come here?

have no idea.

Xue Chongxun frowned, but when I saw this person being feminine, I was afraid that he would make some secret... What if this eunuch returned to the palace and said that my purpose of leaving the capital was to join you, Brother Fen, wouldn't you be careful today?I don’t dare to hope to be the king anymore, and Brother Fen will also be implicated, don’t you?

Li Shouli frowned and said: Does Xue Lang really want to join me in Ah?

Xue Chongxun said: It depends on you, Brother Fen. If you don’t want to do so, we are still cousins, but you have to be kind, don’t say that I have been to Youzhou, do you understand?

Li Shouli nodded: I won’t say... Pan Changshi, you guys think of a solution for me. What’s going on now?

Yuan Jiazuo hurriedly stood up and said kindly: This matter is not a trivial matter. Let’s think about it more, not to treat it as a joke.The others nodded and agreed.

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said: OK... I don't want to stay in the palace, so as not to be distracted and suspicious.I still live in that restaurant, but Brother Fen wants to give a reply as soon as possible, I can't stay in Youzhou for too long.

Li Shouli thought about it and found that he didn't even know the names of some women in his house who had sex with him, and he didn't know which ones were reliable and what was unreliable. In short, it was a mess, so he didn't leave Xue Chongxun and just asked Pan Haoli to send him out.

After seeing Xue Chongxun off, Pan Haoli returned to Li Shouli's mansion. The others had not left yet. He could only hear the record officer Gan Yao say: Yesterday I received a letter from a friend in Luoyang, and Yang Sidao was indeed from the prince's side. Yu Li originally followed Yang Sidao, and probably he was also a good guy... This eunuch came to Youzhou and always sent people to ask questions, which was very suspicious.

Pan Haoli walked into the door and said firmly: Yu Li was here to monitor the envoy!

Yuan Jiazuo said in a deep voice: How can we be subject to a confusing guess for decisions that are relevant to the direction?

Pan Haoli was a little excited: OK, don’t worry about Yu Liben!I just said that, it is obvious: the reason why the envoy was safe before was because he had left the capital for too long and had faded out of his sight; but the envoy's identity was clearly visible. As long as Chang'an noticed it, can we still hide?Whoever your identity poses the greatest threat to is our enemy!

Li Shouli was born and qualified to be an emperor, who should he threaten the most?Whoever wants to be an emperor will threaten who... Now Pan Haoli's position has been shown to support Li Shouli in joining Princess Taiping!

The record officer, Gan Yao, coughed and said in a deep voice: I agree with Pan Changshi's meaning. After saying that, he looked at Yuan Jiazuo.

It is obvious that even in a small circle of power like Youzhou, there is still a problem of position.There are two of the four people in the hall, except for Li Shouli, who have already shown their cards.

Yuan Jiazuo remained silent. When things developed like this, he actually wavered by his original views, but there is a taboo in the officialdom, don’t change your position easily!

Otherwise, your colleagues will think that you are not as experienced, not mature enough, easy to sway and unable to trust.

But since two people already understand the position, if Yuan Jiazuo holds on, it will not only be of no help, but if there is an accident such as leaking news in the future, it will probably be counted on himself...

So he felt dilemma for a moment, so he simply said in a vague way: Since both colleagues have said this, I will no longer be too entangled and let you make a decision!
