Chapter 179 Pine Crane Tower
In front of Zhang Youqian, Zhang Baiwan's humility was as low as he was, so he almost knelt down and called Zhang Youqian's father. However, Zhang Youqian was not vague. After Zhang Baiwan's begging, I couldn't stand it anymore.
I coughed and said, Zhang Youqian, you are almost done, after all, your father is yours. As the saying goes, the son is not the fault of the godfather, today I will teach you a lesson and talk to you carefully.
When Zhang Baiwan saw me talking to him, he looked at me with gratitude. Brother, you guys. Zhang Youqian waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't sing a double act with me. I'll think about this matter again. Zhang Baiwan, go home and wait first."
Zhang Baiwan left in disappointment. Before leaving, he consciously sent a stack of silver notes. When I saw the denomination of the silver notes, I was so scared that my legs became weak and almost knelt down and called him father.
I said that such a father is hard to find with a lantern.
Zhang Youqian said, what do you know? This is called playing hard to get. If I treat him a little better, there will be endless money to spend. Besides, this is what he owe me.
I thought to myself that you father and son are really weird, but after you give birth to them, you will raise them. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to beat him, and the other is willing to be beaten.
Zhang Youqian said to the little monkey, you guy, I have only been away for a few months, and you were bribed by the immortal one? You dare to reveal your whereabouts?
The little monkey said embarrassingly: Young Master, you have not been here in the past few months. The master paid my salary. The master dared not do anything to you, but I was being controlled so tightly.
The little monkey looked around and said to him, Young Master, I'll ask. Tonight, the prince Du Lengding, the prince of the Zuodu Censor Du, and the prince of Tang Liu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, were betting on wine. Several princes from the capital came to support him. Eight Immortals Residence, the brother-in-law of the Shuntian Prefecture and the brother-in-law of the Dali Temple Minister. Young Master, which of these two are suitable for you?
Zhang Youqian nodded, then let’s go to Songhe Tower.
In the afternoon, we went to Liushemen to report. When we left the capital, I was still temporarily organized by Liushemen, but now I have become the headmaster of Qingyi in a blink of an eye. I can't help but sigh that things are impermanent. Liushemen is still the same, but there are some new faces and are receiving training from Zhao Buhuan.
You kid is still quarreling with me, believe it or not, I will slap you? What, your father is from the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Personnel? Oh, this action is very standard, everyone should pay attention, and then follow this action in the future! Next, what is your father doing?
The student whispered: My father is a jealous person.
Zhao Buhuan glared at me and said that your movements were sour. Today I will catch the typical example.
The student said again, my mother's Princess Changle.
Zhao Buhuan said, you have passed this set of actions. He saw Zhang Youqian and I come over, and ordered the students to disband, and said with a smile, it turned out that the two major captains have come, and they haven't seen each other for a year. It's really a bird gun replacement.
I thought to myself that during the training, Zhao Buhuan almost killed me. I didn’t expect that he would be so kind today. Then I thought, we are now the headmaster of Qingyi, and our level is half a level higher than him, so I feel relieved.
Time flies so fast, and it has been a year in the blink of an eye.
For me, what I experienced this year is much richer than the repetitions like Zhao Buhuan year after year, day after day. Only when I saw him did I realize that I changed so much in the year.
I said to Captain Zhao, how did you think of it recently?
Zhao Buhuan waved his hand and said that he was still the same. But you two have made a lot of noise in Jinling. The shopkeeper often mentioned you, saying that you two are young and promising, not as old as us, and are just waiting to live a life of life and get their pensions.
After chatting with Zhao Buhuan for a while, we arrived at the backyard.
A golden painted sign is hung in the most conspicuous position in the backyard, with the words "Seven Doors" written in large gilded characters.
This spring, Lao Suntou mentioned in his letter that the court had re-established the Seven Doors and equipped the Thirteen Taishang Guard. As the second in charge of the Seven Doors, I naturally became the headmaster of the Seven Doors. Zhang Youqian was the oldest among the Thirteen Taishang Guards, and the top leader, referred to as the Dabao.
The seven doors have one more door than the six doors, which means that the special operation team among the six doors is used to perform the special tasks of the six doors. In the execution of tasks, achieving the purpose is the first priority. As for the process, system, and law, all do not need to be considered. This is the glory of the seven doors that Lao Sun never forgets.
A doorman was dozing off at the door. When he saw us coming, he rushed up. Who are you? Here are six gate control areas, and idle people are not allowed to enter.
I shouted, Lao Sun, we are back.
The doorman said, "It's unrestrained, do you call Boss Sun's name casually?"
Zhang Youqian looked at him and said, "You don't know who we are yet." The doorman said he didn't care who you are, and he didn't make an appointment. He wanted to see our boss, but there was no door."
Zhang Youqian immediately stopped doing it and said that God closed a door for you and also opened a wall for you. As he said that, he punched the wall and roared, and the wall collapsed. He couldn't help but shake his head, saying that Lao Sun likes to cut corners and do some tofu projects, and he must have gotten kickbacks.
Someone heard the sound inside and walked out one after another.
Who is so bold that he dares to come to Qisanmen? The leader is a hooked nose, a strong military uniform, and a gloomy face. I asked Zhang Youqian, know him? Zhang Youqian said he had never seen him. I said Dabao, since the old grandson doesn't come out, let's learn about the martial arts of the Thirteen Taibao.
Hawk Nose asked, who is you?
I said you are not qualified to ask, so let Sun Miaomiao come out.
Eagle hook nose snorted coldly, and when he saw Boss Sun, he passed our brothers first.
At this time, I had already noticed that Lao Sun was hiding in the inner room and sneaked into the yard. It seemed that these people were deliberately looking for trouble with him. The two of them walked in side by side, waved their hands, and everyone pulled out their weapons and chopped them towards us.
These people's martial arts are between the level of hearing. If it were a year ago, we would not be his opponents, but now we are no longer the same. We walk on light skills and pass by the sword light and sword shadows. Wherever we go, there is no enemy under our hands, and they all fall to the ground.
Then Old Sun came out leisurely and nodded, "No, good, good, I'm worthy of my teachings to you, and my martial arts have improved a lot. I said, "What's wrong, Boss Sun, I'm already a big official, and even my own family are ready."
Lao Sun laughed and introduced everyone to everyone, let's get up. These two are our Seven Doors General Manager Su and Zhang Dabao. Everyone stood up one after another and greeted us. I bowed my hand back and said that it was so offensive. It was the hooked nose, looking dissatisfied.
Lao Sun cursed, Li Zizong, he is so arrogant on weekdays, looking arrogant. How about you? He was convinced? He snorted with a hook nose, just luck. Lao Sun told us, these little bastards look like I am the best in the world every day. Just come, and teach them a lesson for me if you have nothing to do.
I saw that he wanted to be a hand-off manager, so I reminded him that we were here to report our work this time and we would go back after the New Year.
Lao Sun frowned and said, "Why are you going back when you are in the capital? He said that, and led us into the house. Compared with the shabby days of last year, one in the sky and the other in the ground. Lao Sun grabbed a handful of tea and made a cup of tea for us each. The tea was so bad that it was so bad.
Lao Sun said unhappyly, why, after being in Jinling for a long time, I can’t get used to the tea here?
Zhang Youqian said strangely, it is said that the monthly tea and water cost of seven doors is hundreds of taels of silver, why do you still drink this thing?
Lao Sun said angrily, "You know, this tea is called broken silver, which is more precious than silver!" As he said that, he sent Eagle Hawk Nose and others away, he said, "You are not allowed to mention the tea." I heard that you encountered something in Hejian Mansion, let me tell you."
We briefly told Lao Sun about the experience of Hejian Mansion. Lao Sun listened very seriously and asked a few questions from time to time. After listening, Lao Sun said, it seems that this matter is not that simple.
We asked what was going on.
Lao Sun said that the prefect of Jinling Song Haiquan was a disciple of Mr. Yang. These silvers were originally from the capital to manage various departments. Along the way, they would not be robbed early or late, but they were robbed on Mr. Xu's territory. Don't say that this is a coincidence. Who will benefit the most from the tribute silver this time?
I said Xu and Yang, one lost his official position and the other lost money. This was clearly a loss of both sides.
Lao Sun said, you are still young, you must learn to see the essence through phenomena. Zhao Xingde's entry into the cabinet was a foregone conclusion, but at this moment, there were variables. If you were Mr. Yang, and 300,000 taels of silver were exchanged for a Shangshu and Mr. Zhunge, what would you choose?
I said I seemed to understand a little.
After his analysis, things suddenly became clear, but since he could even think of it, even those old men who played with power and tricks in the court would not understand this truth? Of course, this was an open conspiracy, so Mr. Xu could only pinch his nose and admit defeat.
Old Sun continued, Mr. Xu missed the lead in this step, but he did not reach an irreversible situation. He must have a backup plan. You should learn more slowly.
We talked with him for a while and wanted to go and meet Lu Zhongyuan, but he was not at the Six Gates and had to give up.
It was already evening, and the little monkey found a carriage and was already waiting at the door, saying, "Young Master, the bureau of Songhe Tower has been arranged, and everyone is waiting to welcome you." Zhang Youqian patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go, and take you to see the real world of flowers and wine."
There is no pine wind and crane bone in Songhe Tower. It has three floors, covering an area of more than ten acres. It has food and drink on the first floor, a casino on the second floor, and a brothel on the third floor. As the saying goes, one-stop eating, drinking, gambling on a single dragon. The owner of this Songhe Tower is well versed in people's hearts. After eating and drinking, his hands are itchy, and he will inevitably go to the second floor to gamble. If you win, be happy, go to the third floor to freely do it; if you lose, go to the third floor to relieve your boredom.
This building has a great business, and its wealth is booming, making money every day.
The owner of Songhe Tower is very mysterious and has a very tough backstage. It is said that a noble man once took a fancy to this place and wanted to take it over. In less than half a month, the noble man's family was destroyed and left the capital in shame with a bedding.
When I arrived at Songhe Tower, I was already holding the lights.
