Chapter 440: Fraud One
A certain censor's family occasionally went to the downtown area and met a man in gorgeous clothes. They approached and chatted with them, and they were very happy. The man asked about the censor's name, family background, place of origin, and hobbies, and the family members told them one by one.
The man listened attentively, smiled and nodded, and introduced himself, "My surname is Wang, and I am a close confidant of the princess." The family members immediately looked respectful and said with a smile: "It turns out that I am a disciple of the princess. I have admired you for a long time."
Wang Mou said: "The official career is dangerous, and the way to be an official depends first and foremost on your backers. I wonder who your master's backers are?" The family member said: "There is none at the moment."
Wang sighed: "It is unwise to cherish the tips and forget the disaster."
The family member said: "In my opinion, brother Wang, who can I rely on in the court?"
Wang said: "The princess is gentle to others, so she is the best candidate. If you don't hesitate to spend a lot of money as a gift, I will try to introduce her. It is not difficult to visit the princess."
The family was overjoyed and said, "One thousand taels of gold is not a problem, but I don't know where Brother Wang lives?"
Wang said: "My brother and I live in the same alley, don't you know?" He pointed to his residence.
The family went back to report to the censor. The censor was very happy. He immediately prepared a banquet and invited Wang to be a guest. Wang came happily. During the dinner, he talked about the princess's temperament and daily life trivial matters. He talked about it vividly and said: "Princess
He has a distinguished status, and it is difficult for others to meet him. If it were not for the sake of my colleagues, I would not help even if I was given a hundred gold."
The censor was grateful in his heart and said yes again and again. When he parted, he made a covenant. Wang said: "You can bring your own gifts, and I will take care of the princess's side. There will be results within a few days."
Three days later, Wang came to the door again, wearing a horse and a brocade dress, and said to the censor: "Get ready quickly, the princess is busy with business, and there are many people seeking to see you. It is difficult to rest from morning to night. I finally have time today, so I should go there quickly.
If you miss the opportunity, you will regret it.”
The censor nodded in agreement, immediately packed his bags, prepared a thousand gold gifts, and headed east, zigzagging for more than ten miles, to a magnificent mansion. Knowing that it was the princess's palace, he did not dare to enter rashly.
Wang turned over and dismounted and said: "I want to see the princess. First give me a gift list. Give me the gold and I will deliver it to Your Highness for you."
The censor untied the package, put it into Wang's hand, and said: "There are a thousand taels of gold leaves inside, which are very valuable. Brother, please be careful and don't lose it."
Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He stretched out his hand to push the door open and entered the inner hall.
Not long after, Wang left and returned, saying: "Congratulations, sir, the princess is here." The censor cheered up, straightened his clothes, followed Wang into the mansion, passed through the corridors and rooms, and came to a main hall. On the way
It is heavily guarded and densely guarded.
In the palace, there is a beauty, sitting high in the hall, with a beautiful face, as beautiful as a fairy. There are many maids on the left and right, all wearing brocade, and they are lined up in rows. The censor kneels down to say hello, and the beauty gives her a seat and tea. The water is brewed in a golden bowl, and the tea leaves are fragrant.
The host and guest exchanged greetings, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After the tea was cooled, the censor stood up to say goodbye. The beauty presented gifts, including fast boots and a mink hat, made of fine materials and first-class workmanship.
When the censor returned home, he was deeply touched by Wang's kindness and went to visit him with a post. He saw that the door was closed and no one was there. He thought, "Brother Wang is busy with his duties. I think he has not returned to serve the princess. I will come back tomorrow." And so on.
Three times, three days and three worships, there was still no trace of Wang.
The censor felt suspicious and went to the princess's palace to investigate. As expected, the place was empty. He asked the neighbors on the left and right, and they replied: "What princess? I have never heard of it. Not long ago, several people came to rent a house here.
We have moved away a long time ago. Counting the days, it will be exactly three days."
The censor was upset when he heard this, and his heart was clear: he had met a liar.
