Panlou Street, above Panlou.

In a private room near Yujie, melodious silk and bamboo and singing were faintly heard. After experiencing the hustle and bustle of the day, the night fell and Yujie became particularly quiet. The howling cold wind in the middle of winter made the originally prosperous night market of Kaifeng Prefecture a little desolate.

Chen Youwen's current mood is like the winter scene outside the window, and it is extremely depressed.

He had no intention of enjoying the night view of Kaifeng with the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, but just stared at Liang Shicheng, who was sitting upright opposite him and tasting wine, his eyes were covered with bloodshot.

"Shoudao, then Zhao Xiaoyi is King Duan?"

Liang Shicheng laughed, "I didn't say that."

"What should I do?"

Chen Youwen said, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with a vicious slap.

Liang Shicheng frowned, pondered for a while, shook his head, "Youzhi, what are you doing? Even if he gets to the prince, he can't do anything to you? You are Wen Linlang soon. You are from a civil servant of the ninth rank. When he returns from Liao this time, he will probably be promoted. Even if he becomes an official, he is only a ninth rank official, and can he still frame you?"

"But, but he and King Duan..."

Liang Shicheng laughed, "King Duan is just a playful moment, and it is impossible to have a close relationship with him. Who is Duan? Why is Wu Haogu playing with him? If they can really play with him, Duan doesn't have to be a pseudonym Zhao Xiaoyi.

Moreover, being with the king is like being with a tiger! Don’t look at the fact that King Duan is having fun now and having a good time with him, but once he gets sex, it will be nothing. At that time, you are an official in the same court and no one can do anything to anyone. Why are you so afraid? What do you really think he can do to you?"

Isn’t this colluding with the Liangshan bandits?

Chen Youwenxin said: If this crime is to be lost, even if you don’t lose your head, you will also take over the text of your origin and then send it to a tutor. This life will be over!

But Chen Youwen didn't dare to tell the truth to Liang Shicheng... This matter is now a brazier placed under his butt, and he is always grinding his butt, and he can't let anyone know, so he can only grit his teeth and carry it.

Don’t mention how sad this day is!

However, after Chen Youwen savored Liang Shicheng's words carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Brother Shou Dao is right." Chen Youwen laughed, "I'll think about it at the next moment... Besides, Wu Haogu and I don't have a deep hatred, just a little holiday."

"By the way, it's a little holiday." Liang Shicheng laughed, "Let's do this, our family will be with Tong Gangfu tomorrow, and invite you two to have a good wine. After the wine is finished... you will work together to serve the officials and the court?"

"Okay, okay, that's it."

...

The Hehaojiu is placed in Rendian on Rendian Street, which is one of the 72 main stores. However, the pomp and grade are far from comparable to Panlou and Fenglelou, but it is also a good place to go.

Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan came early, and did not order food or call geeks. They just ordered some tea and drank tea in the private room.

The content of the conversation was related to the Liao Dynasty. The ones who were most concerned about this job at the moment were probably these two eunuchs, except for the official Zhao Xu and the prime minister Zhang Dun. Tong Guan, especially Tong Guan, had already regarded the mission to Liao Kingdom as the capital to make a fortune in the future.

"Shoudao, can you see Chen Youzhi be in peace with Wu Dalang when he arrives in the Northern Dynasties?"

Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea and smiled and said, "How can't you? Who doesn't want such a great contribution? This time the errand is done and the official family is happy. Wu Dalang can become an official immediately, and maybe he can be transferred to six or seven officials. Even Chen Youwen will be able to make one move and two moves."

It is difficult to change an official position in the Song Dynasty, and it is easy to say it.

If you have a way to increase your income, you will have to work hard for several years to become an official. Especially Chen Youwu and Wu Haogu were not from Jinshi, so it is difficult to pass the three-term and six-term exams (the process of assessment and qualification maintenance is required from the selection of a person to a Beijing official). Usually, if they go through literary and financial resources, they will be stuck in the change of official positions (to be promoted to Beijing official), and they will be selected for the whole life. Even if they can be promoted step by step, the three-term and six-term exams will take nine years!

So who would not cherish the way to achieve success in Liao painting, spy painting, is the way to achieve meritorious results?

"According to the past," Liang Shichengdao, "it would be a great achievement to be able to draw photos of the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom and to draw a few pictures of the border towns of the Liao Kingdom.

However, Wu Dalang's ability is definitely more than that. Maybe he can draw all the civil and military officials of the Liao Dynasty, or maybe even Yanjing City can be painted on paper with no mistakes.

If such credit is used to be a military official, wouldn’t it be better to be transferred to seven officials in one go?”

Wu Haogu has not been appointed as an official yet, so there are all possibilities for becoming a civil servant and a military officer. However, the achievements of spy painting are military merits, and it is possible to be promoted to a military officer.

Wu Haogu's current position is the direct chief of the Attorney, which is equivalent to the military lieutenant of the Wushu, among the military officers without ranks. The first turn is from the ninth-rank Chengxinlang, the second turn is from the ninth-rank Chengjielang, the third turn is from the ninth-rank Baoyilang, the fourth turn is from the ninth-rank Chengzhonglang, the fifth turn is from the ninth-rank Zhongyilang, the sixth turn is from the ninth-rank Zhongxunlang, and the seventh turn is from the eighth-rank Bingyilang. That is, he is older than Pan Xiao'an, and then promoted to two levels to the eighth-rank Xiuwulang... This has surpassed the threshold of the ambassador and became an intermediate military officer.

For Wu Haogu, the threshold of the ambassador is not insurmountable... If the official really wants to use troops against the Liao Kingdom, how many maps will it take? With Zhang Dun and Zhang Shi's serious and rigorous temperament, they wished they could draw all the entire Yanyun city in its original form, without any mistake!

How much credit does this result? If Yan Yun gets back, in terms of credit, Wu Haogu will not be a general, but a rampant official (he is a high-level military officer) has arrived!

Although Wu Haogu could not hold a military post, an ambassador could become a county magistrate. If he could be promoted to a rampant position, it would not be certain to be a magistrate for several years.

Being an official is important. Wu Haogu and Chen Youwen's holiday (Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng don't know that Chen Youwen once bought a murderer Wu Haogu) is nothing.

...

"Wu Chongdao, Wu Chongdao..."

When Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng thought they could adjust the conflict between Wu Haogu and Chen Youwen, Wu Haogu was already on Rendian Street. He suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he turned around, he saw Chen Youwen walking quickly towards him.

"It's you? What do you want to do?"

Wu Haogu was shocked. This was the one who bought the Liangshan hero and wanted to kill him! A tall body immediately blocked him. This was the coach Lin Wancheng, who is now Wu Haogu’s personal bodyguard.

Since he learned that Chen Youwen has returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he always takes coach Lao Lin with him every time he goes out.

This time it was Chen Youwen's turn to be scared. He had been in the Western Army and had seen what the real fighting man looked like!

He immediately set his mind and smiled at Wu Haogu's salute, "Wu Chongdao, don't you recognize me anymore? I am Chen Youwen."

Wu Haogu gently whined, "It turns out it's Chen Jiangshi, it's rare."

This is Rendian Street and is protected by Lin Wancheng, so there should be no surprises, so etiquette still needs to be added.

"Can you borrow a step to speak?" Chen Youwen asked with a smile.

What does it mean? Wu Haogu was stunned. Could it be that he ambushed the killer in secret? Just when Wu Haogu was unsure of his mind, Chen Youwen said another sentence.

"There is an important thing to tell me about, which is related to Sister Pan Shiba."

Pan Qiaolian?

Wu Haogu's heart immediately skipped a beat.

He actually knew what happened... Pan Qiaolian and Zhao Ji often met. There was no trick to see this! It was not the 21st century, but the ancient times when men and women were not allowed to get along with each other.

That fat man Pan Xiao'an probably wants to cuckold himself!

"Okay! Come with me."

Wu Haogu looked around, then quickly walked towards a teahouse on Rendian Street. Chen Youwen and Lin Wancheng followed. There were no guests on the first floor of the teahouse. Wu Haogu chose a table by the window and sat down face to face with Chen Youwen, while Lin Wancheng sat down at the next table.

The servant came to welcome the guests, Wu Haogu ordered two pots of tea, gave a few tips for copper coins and gave them away.

"Chen Jiangshi, just say something."

Chen Youwen smiled and said, "Before you say, you have to agree to a condition."

"Speak and listen."

"What if the festival between you and me is pretended that it has not happened before Liao returns?"

Chen Youwen stared at Wu Haogu and offered conditions.

This condition is nothing, and it is not what he really wants.

"Okay!" Wu Haogu paused, "Tell me."

Chen Youwen breathed a little relieved, "Do you know how Pan Qiaolian got along with King Duan?"

Wu Haogu nodded, "Because of one of my paintings."

"Half right!" Chen Youwen said, "Without the arrangement of Liu Da Diao and Pan Bingyi, King Duan would not see Pan Shiba!"

"How did you know?" Wu Haogu asked back, "Aren't you just coming back?"

Chen Youwen smiled, "Do you know who I am here to help? I know the correspondence between the two fathers and sons of the Liu family! This matter was arranged by Liu Da Diaoyi, and Pan Bingyi and the governor Pan have long been colluding with Liu Da Diaoyi. By the way, your student Mi Yuanhui actually knows this matter too!"

He was Liu Ai's opportunity, and Liu Ai was Liu Youfang's adopted son, and Chen Youwen and Liu Ai have always had a good relationship. So Liu Ai's letters were kept by Chen Youwen. Therefore, Chen Youwen found some clues from the letters between Liu Youfang and Liu Ai, and then sorted out the truth.

Wu Hao Gu’s Ancient Road: “But Pan Shibaxu has passed the clan’s son.”

"So what?" Chen Youwen smiled, "You go and ask Mi Yuanhui how much the Empress Dowager is favored by King Duan.

Moreover... the Empress Dowager is from Daming Mansion and is a fellow villager with the Pan family. Pan Xiang's two mansions are actually intermarried! As long as King Duan is interesting, Xu Guozongzi is not a big deal at all. Of course, if Pan Shiba really becomes the queen, it will be beneficial to you.
