Chapter 212

When they were about to enter the city, Qin mubai and others found a hidden forest, changed their robes and armor, changed their plain clothes, and then disguised themselves as merchants, just as they had done before. Then they rode the horse hall, and the emperor entered the city and went back to the inn.

Just about to enter the room, and is about to go out of Chen Yan hit a positive. Chen Yan was stunned when she saw Qin mubai, and then she chuckled: "you look like this. I didn't recognize you. I'm a teenager now!"

"Ha ha!" Qin Mu Bai called her into the room with a smile, removed the camouflaged beard and hair ornaments, and said to her, "I'm going to the censor's mansion, would you like to go with me? Anyway, you are familiar with Li Ke. "

Chen Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "it's OK. I have nothing to do. I just want to go out for a walk."

"Then go! I just want to talk to Li Ke about the water ghost in the west river channel. You know something about it. Maybe you can tell us something. "

They left the Inn and went to the assassin's mansion.

When Li Ke's new official takes office, everything will be ready. He did not set up another palace, but simply cleaned up the back house of the governor's palace. Right of abode. The Yamen servants of the governor's office and the soldiers of the king's office were familiar with Qin mubai, so they were free from obstacles. The constable Zhou Laojiu was even more excited when he saw Qin mubai. He welcomed him step by step and led him to Li Ke's residence.

When Li Ke heard that Qin mubai was coming, he came out laughing and said with a smile: "Oh, rare guest, rare guest!"

"Laugh at me!" Qin mubai said with a smile.

"Who said hello to you. I clearly say hello to nvxia Chen. " Li Ke said with a smile, "long time no see, nvxia Chen, how are things?"

"Fair." Chen Yan said with a smile, "it's just that she almost died in Xiangzhou."

"Oh, it's none of my business. I didn't take office then! Now that I'm an honest and upright official and a good assassin, how can there be any more unjust cases? What's more, even if I'm a muddleheaded person, I don't dare to be wronged. Nvxia Chen, otherwise someone will fight with me. Ha ha Li Ke burst into laughter.

"I can't stand you. When I meet you, I'll blow my trumpets." Qin Mu Bai shook his head and said with a smile, "there are some business to talk about with you. Do you just stand on the edge of the steps and say it openly?"

"Oh, it's Xiao Wang. It's impolite! Dear guests, please come in and have a talk! Come and make tea to welcome the guests Li Ke swaggered into the room.

Qin and Chen look at each other, shake their heads, smile and follow each other.

Li Ke is still an old habit. He can't go anywhere without tea. Moreover, he specially brought the set of exquisite and expensive gold tea sets from Chang'an to Xiangzhou, and even Meiji, who made the tea, is the same.

They sat chatting and waiting for tea. When the tea was ready, Li Ke turned away the idle people and began to get to the point.

"Tell me, what did you get from the parade today?" Li Ke is open to the mountain.

Qin mubai then said: "the people of the military mansion don't work hard, they are just acting. Shenyu spaceship is not good-looking, white wave water army has its surface. All in all, Xiangzhou Junfu did not intend to seriously suppress the thieves, but was doing all kinds of tricks to confuse the public. "

"Expected." Li Ke nodded, took an account book and threw it to Qin mubai. He said, "Quan Wanji found these problems when he checked the account books of Yin Cao, Liang Cao, Jun Cao and FA Cao. Over the past few years, Xiangzhou has paid a lot of money and food to suppress thieves, ranking the first in all kinds of expenses, far exceeding that of persuading farmers and mulberry farmers. In fact, Xiangzhou is very rich, just a few docks can bring a lot of money. But most of this income is used to support the army, but the suppression of the water ghosts in the west river channel is more and more intense. I really doubt whether the money will be used to support soldiers or thieves. "

Qin mubai looked through the account books for a while, twisted his eyebrows and said, "the military mansion is not doing anything. The governor's mansion seems to have colluded with the military mansion. OK. No wonder the suppression of water ghosts in Xihe channel is becoming more and more lawless. Now I'm thinking about a problem. The reason why the emperor sent you and asked me to be your assistant, I'm afraid I've heard about the water ghost in the West River. Otherwise, a small Xiangzhou, why should I send you here? "

"In town? I like that word. It looks like I'm very capable. " Li Ke jokingly said, "let me tell you, it's not my father who sent me here, it's me who has already built this place. As early as I was in Anzhou, I heard that Xiangzhou was very rich, but the governor of Xiangzhou was very diligent. At that time, I didn't know why, so I was very curious - is it that people don't want to do such a good assassin? Why do you have to leave after working for a few days? In recent days, I've only vaguely figured out why. "

"Except for the water ghost, it's forbidden. Is there any other reason? " Qin mubai asked.

"Of course." Li Ke said, "another important reason is that the officials and gentry in Xiangzhou are closely linked with each other, and outsiders can't get in and pour in. The governor's office, the military office and the local rich squires formed their own faction and had their own leaders and common interests. In this way, no matter which assassin and Duwei were transferred, they were isolated and excluded. On the surface, the assassin and the Duwei are the most powerful and the most official, but in fact they are only lonely. Who can be an official in such a place for a long time? "

"It seems your highness is smelling something." Qin mubai asked, "you can see who is the" tyrant "in Xiangzhou?""Sima Wei, the governor of the governor's office, is in a noisy state, and Du Chengyuan, the commander of Guoyi, the military office." Li Ke said, "just these two people."

"Sure enough..." Qin mubai picked the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"So you feel it?" Li Ke's eyes brightened and asked.

"I don't know about the governor's mansion. Among the military academies, Du Chengyuan is the only one who looks forward to it. When I made my first appearance today, he gave me a bad impression. Fortunately, I've got a hundred riders to follow, otherwise I'm going to lose face. " Qin mubai sneered, "but don't worry, it's easy to deal with him after all. But I just don't know how powerful they are in Xiangzhou and how many people are involved behind it. "

"Take your time! When we are new here, we have to stand up first. " Li Ke nodded and said, "fortunately, I am a prince and have my own staff. There is also a group of people. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do about them. "

At this time, Chen Yan said with a smile, "why don't I go out for a walk and have a good talk with you?"

"Oh? ha-ha! It seems that we are abrupt, beautiful woman Li Ke quickly raised his cup and said, "it's over! Come on, Xiao Wang. I'll make amends for a bowl of tea. "

"How dare you." Chen Yan replied with a smile. "I feel that you two are more intimate than when you were in Jiangzhou. This time, you are working together again, but the location has changed from Jiangzhou to Xiangzhou. I wonder how much noise you are going to make this time? "

"Ha ha!" Li Ke pointed to Qin mubai and laughed, "I don't have the guts! In fact, he instigated me to do everything. It's none of my business! "

Qin Mu Bai shook his head and said with a smile, "Chen Yan, now you know what selling friends is? It's said that it's better to meet an old friend in another country. But when you meet such a person as your highness, it's bad luck. "

"Well, when you say that you met an old friend in another country, I think of one thing." Li Ke quickly got up, went into his study, took out a letter and handed it to Qin mubai, saying, "you have so many friends. There are old friends visiting you in Xiangzhou. The barracks couldn't get in, so someone found the assassin's mansion and asked me to deliver the letter to you. "

"Who could it be?" Qin mubai opened the letter curiously and found it was written by Wu Meiniang. At first, he was excited for a while, thinking that Wu Meiniang had come to Xiangzhou. After reading the letter, he realized that she had not come, but had sent a letter. It was written in the letter. It was nothing more than a place of love and a mention of letting him find a shop in Xiangzhou. According to the letter, the renovated Qinxian Pavilion (formerly the best wine in the world) has already opened, and its business is still good. Now it's working. I think it won't be long before I have enough money to open a branch in Xiangzhou.

Qin mubai, the messenger, knows the young master of the Zheng family who once cooperated with Wu Meiniang to open "the best wine in the world". Zheng Anshun!

"Zheng Anshun?" Qin Mu Bai's eyes suddenly brightened and asked Li Ke pleasantly, "has he come to Xiangzhou?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Li Ke slightly a little surprised way, "you are very familiar with him, how excited to be like this?"

"No - where are the others?" Qin mubai asked.

"He left a note saying that if you have any letters, please take them back to Chang'an. But go to him. " Li Ke took a piece of paper and handed it to Qin mubai.

Qin mubai took a look and caressed his hands excitedly: "great! What a coincidence! God helps me, ha ha

Li Ke and Chen Yan face to face, asked: "why so excited?"

"Let me tell you something. You will know it later." Qin mubai laughed and clapped his hands. Call the nearby guard Baiqi, give them the paper and ask them to find Zheng Anshun in the city according to the address. Be sure to invite them to the palace for a chat.

Li Ke raised a smile: "this guy is stirring up something strange again. Every time I see him so confident and mysterious, I know that there must be a good play to watch! "

Chen Yan said with a smile, "you know each other well."

"That's not to say!" Li Ke raised his eyebrows. "Brother! He who knows his brother is also a brother! "

"Ha ha! Well, brother Wang, I'm going to offer a Buddha with your flowers today. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "when you get to Xiangzhou, it's a reunion in a different place. How can you not celebrate with a banquet?"

"No problem!" Li Ke caressed his hand and said with a smile, "look at your expression, I know you must ask Zheng Anshun to help you! Well, I'll give you a hand at the banquet. What's more, there are still beauties here today, but Xiao Wang is so happy! "

Chen Yan shook her head and said with a smile, "Your Highness is such a high-ranking person. Chen Yan is just like grass mustard in your eyes. How can she become a beauty? "

"Well, you can't say that!" Li Ke said with a smile, "the elegant demeanor of nvxia Chen is unique, and no one can match her! Even though Xiao Wang has read all over the flowers, he has never seen such a strange Chiba as nvxia Chen Qin mubai, how lucky you are

"Er!..." Qin mubai pretended to be surprised. "Why is it on my head again?"

"Pretend! This guy is the best at pretending Li Ke pointed to Qin mubai and said with a smile, "I've heard about your heroic deeds of saving beauty for a long time. The jailer came to see me pitifully without tears to beg for mercy, with your big seal on his face - you are so powerful, general Qin! Take the prisoner away from the prison of my Assassin's mansion and leave me a meat seal IOU! ""Ha ha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

……

The three chatted with each other over tea, and they had a good time talking and laughing. I'm happy. Time flies. It's Dusk in the twinkling of an eye. The banquet arranged by Li Ke is ready, and the person sent out to find Zheng Anshun has not come back.

Zheng Anshun came just as everyone was getting impatient!

Zheng Anshun, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, is 25 years old. He is very dignified and talented. It is said that he is proficient in rhythm, well-educated, polite, modest and prudent. He is also a famous figure in Chang'an. I don't know how many girls in Chang'an never forget him in their boudoirs.

The Zheng family in Chang'an completely changed the world's prejudice against businessmen.

All along, officials despise businessmen and are ashamed to make friends. The social status of businessmen is not as good as that of farmers and blacksmiths. No matter how rich they are, they are useless.

But Chang'an Zheng family is not like this. They are a different kind of businessmen.

As early as the beginning of Wude, Zheng Fengchi, the owner of the Zheng family, made friends with Li Yuan, the emperor of Wude. He repeatedly subsidized Li Yuan's money, food and property, and was called "righteous businessman of the Tang Dynasty" by Li Yuan. So far, there is such a gold lettered signboard written by Li Yuan in Zheng's home. From then on, the Zheng family became the imperial merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Most of the "money, grain, salt, cloth and iron" monopolized by the imperial court were represented by the Zheng family. In addition, if there was a war in the Tang Dynasty, military provisions were often transferred to the Zheng family for sale.

For more than 20 years, the status of the Zheng family in Chang'an has been increasing day by day, and most of them are princes and ministers. Although the Zheng family obeyed the rules of merchants, none of their nephews took part in the imperial examination and became an official, and none of them joined the army. But they made a lot of friends in officialdom and military circles. The Zheng family's business routes were all over the Tang Dynasty, as far as the foreign countries, and their friends were all over the world. It is said that there are a group of people in the Zheng family's caravan who are proficient in all kinds of Hu language in order to deal with foreign businessmen. Zheng Anshun, the young leader of the Zheng family, was gifted and had a good command of several Hu languages. I've always been alone, and I don't need to take someone to translate.

Qin mubai and Zheng Anshun have only a few sides, but they have no deep friendship. When she first met Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang deliberately used words to excite Qin mubai, saying that it was better to follow Zheng Anshun than to follow him. For this reason, Qin mubai had a little bit of jealousy in his heart.

Today I saw the living Zheng Anshun, Qin mubai murmured: I should be jealous! He is so handsome and elegant Rich and rich, gentle, erudite and handsome, such a man is a female killer!

"I have met your Royal Highness the king of Wu and general Qin." Zheng Anshun bowed his hands with a smile. Between his words and behavior, it was like a spring breeze.

"Tut tut!" Li Ke shook his head with a smile. "Mubai, I feel like birds of a feather flock together today."

"How do you say that?" Qin mubai asked.

"Don't you think that one of our three big men is more beautiful than the other?" Li Ke laughs, "of course, you are a little bit worse."

Qin mubai and Zheng Anshun laugh together. Next to them, Chen Yan shakes her head and sighs: "I'd better go. I can't stand it any more!"
