More than two months passed in a flash, and the entire hundred thousand taels of gold knocked from Prince Qi's Mansion had been handed over to the Wan family. It was obvious that Yang Jian did not intend to continue to entangle with Wan He on this matter. And Wan He is also happy to enjoy the one hundred thousand taels of gold. The old house only has more than ten thousand taels of silver at most, but now Wan He has struck a full one hundred thousand taels, and it is ten times the gold. Mr. Wan is watching. After Wan He transported the heavy boxes of gold back, his previous anger immediately disappeared. At least he would never hit Wan He on the head with a cane again when he encountered him.
With these one hundred thousand taels of gold, Mr. Wan naturally started to rebuild a house in the city. After all, Wan He is now a third-rank official and a dignified marquis. He must have a residence that suits his status. However, There is no need for Wan He to take care of these things, just leave it to the servants of the Wan family. Wan He himself continues to go to court every day, playing emotional cards with the King of Yue, the Yuwen family, and the courtiers in the court. Keep in touch with each other from time to time. In short, Wanhe's life is a moist one, but a moist life obviously cannot last long. Soon, trouble will follow.
"Brother Wan, long time no see," a burly, middle-aged man wearing armor shouted with a smile after walking into the hall of the Ministry of Rites' official residence: "Since the last time we said goodbye, we have a friend. We haven’t seen each other for over years, ah, by the way, now I should call you Wan Daren, hahahaha,”
"Hahahahaha" Wan He also laughed when he saw the visitor, stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "General Pei is so polite. I heard that General Pei was suppressing bandits in Yishui River, why did he suddenly come to Dongdu? By the way, Where are Brother Qin and Brother Luo?"
The person who came was none other than Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin who came to Luoyang that day. Zhang Xutuo's deputy general, Pei Renji, heard Wan He's words. Pei Renji laughed and said: "I have been waiting under the command of Zhang Shuai to move Yishui River." The bandits have been wiped out. This time I came to deliver the battle report to the Holy Lord on the orders of Zhang Shuai. As for brothers Qin and Luo, they are still with Zhang Shuai."
"Oh," Wan He couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Pei Renji said. It was not because Zhang Xutuo wiped out the bandits in Yishui. With Zhang Xutuo's ability, the bandits in Yishui were not famous people. It was reasonable for Sotuo to destroy him. The reason why Wan He was in a daze was because the last time he met Pei Renji, Pei Renji was about to submit a battle report to the Ministry of War, so Wan He immediately asked: "Ah, General Pei this time But if you encounter any difficulties, it doesn’t matter, leave them all to me, and I guarantee that you can complete the task smoothly.”
However, Pei Renji immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Wan, you misunderstood. My affairs were handled very smoothly. I had already submitted the battle report to the Ministry of War three days ago. After receiving the battle report, the Holy Lord Long Yan was delighted and had already ordered "Reward, so my mission in Luoyang has been completed. I came here just to meet old friends."
"That's it," Wan He suddenly realized when he heard this. In fact, there is nothing difficult to understand. The reason why Pei Renji encountered obstacles last time was because the Li Hun case broke out and people in the court were panicked, so no one wanted to Secondly, it was because Pei Renji went to the wrong temple and offended the Li family. Now that the government is stable and nothing major happened, Li Yuan's family was also driven out of Luoyang by Wan He's tricks. In addition, last time Wan He also said hello to the Ministry of War when he was helping Pei Renji. The Ministry of War also knew that Pei Renji and Wan He had an unusual relationship, so Pei Renji's affairs went smoothly this time. Wan He then laughed and said: "Okay, okay, that's it. It's done. General Pei, it's rare for you to come here today. Come on, let's go to Wanxiang Pavilion for a drink. We must not come back drunk today."
"Uh," Pei Renji was stunned when he heard what Wan He said. He pointed to the table full of scrolls behind Wan He and asked, "Master Wan, don't you want to handle official business?"
Wan He waved his hands and said without any care: "It's okay, it's okay. Those official documents are very magical. Don't worry about them. Every other day, they will slowly decrease by themselves. Let's go and have a drink." ,Ha ha ha ha,"
Wan He smiled and pulled Pei Renji, who looked puzzled, out. Behind him, Yang Lu, who looked bitter, slowly raised his head and helplessly looked at Wan He's leaving figure. There was nothing magical about it. Yang Lu obviously helped Wan He to review the official documents day and night every day. Otherwise, with Wan He's work efficiency of three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, the official documents of the Ministry of Rites would probably pile up into a mountain. However, Yang Lu just complained in his heart. After complaining, he still helped Wan He handle official affairs honestly and quit. What a joke. Since he followed Wan He, his status in the Ministry of Rites has been increasing day by day. Even the officials of the Ministry of Rites were mostly polite to him. Yang Lu was not stupid, he knew who all this came from.
Let's say that after Wan He and Pei Renji walked out of the gate of the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, they walked directly towards Wanxiang Tower. Naturally, Wan He's personal guard Zhu Muwu also went with him. When he just saw Zhu Muwu, Pei Renji was frightened. To his surprise, he had long heard that Cheng Yaojin, who had been protecting Wan He before, had followed Yang Yichen to Shandong to suppress bandits. However, he did not expect that there was another expert guard beside Wan He walking on the road. Pei Renji looked back at Zhu Muwu from time to time, shaking his head constantly.
Seeing Pei Renji's weird behavior, Wan He also felt strange, and finally couldn't help but asked: "General Pei, what's the matter with you?"
Pei Renji was a little embarrassed when Wan He saw what he was thinking. After laughing, he glanced at Zhu Muwu again and said with a wry smile: "I'm blaming myself for not thinking about what I do. I heard before that Brother Cheng has already I am no longer escorting Mr. Wan. I am worried that Mr. Wan will not have anyone to protect you, so I deliberately want to bring you a bodyguard. But now it seems that you do not have this need. In fact, I am too stupid. With your identity, how come there is a lack of guards around you?"
"Oh, haha," after understanding Pei Renji's thoughts, Wan He also laughed and didn't care. Apart from Qin Qiong, the only master under Zhang Xutuo's account was Luo Shixin. Pei Renji also made it clear before that these two Everyone still stayed with Zhang Xutuo. Apart from these two people, Wan He didn't believe that Pei Renji could bring out any masters. However, Wan He naturally couldn't say this clearly. He just smiled and said: "Thank you very much. General Pei's kindness is gone. In fact, there won't be any big things in this Eastern Capital. As for the guards, too many will make you not free."
Pei Renji also smiled. How could he not realize that Wan He was trying to save face for him? At that moment, the two of them put the matter down and Wan He took him to Wanxiang Tower for a drink.
This meal lasted for two or three hours. It was not until evening that Pei Renji said goodbye to Wan He and drunkenly came to the inn where he was staying. As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, Pei Renji felt dizzy before his legs could step in. He was dazzled and fell to the ground, but at this moment a figure suddenly flashed out of the inn and happened to support Pei Renji's body. It was a thin, fair and handsome young man.
When the young disciple saw Pei Renji drunkenly, his brows furrowed. He reached out and patted Pei Renji on the shoulder, and softly shouted: "Daddy, daddy," but no matter how much the young disciple shouted, Pei Renji never woke up. The junior student also shook his head helplessly, and finally grabbed Pei Renji's waist with both hands, and suddenly lifted him up. Pei Renji's tall body was actually lifted up by the young junior student, and stood beside a few people next to the inn. When the famous waiters saw it, all of them had their eyes widened with disbelief. No one could tell that this young man, who had grown so thin and frail, could have such great strength. Moreover, looking at the appearance of this young man, he could not even He didn't even take a breath, as if what was being carried on his shoulders was not a man weighing 1,560 pounds, but a paper human figure.
However, the young junior paid no attention to the frightened waiters around him. Instead, he carried Pei Renji with a calm face, went upstairs, entered the guest room he had reserved, and placed Pei Renji on the bed. Pei Renji took off his clothes and boots, and helped Pei Renji scrub his body. Everything was done meticulously. He finally settled Pei Renji, but it was already late at night. The young junior touched his growling stomach and smiled bitterly. After a while, he simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
After this sleep, he slept until dawn the next day. As soon as the young man woke up, he heard Pei Renji's moans coming from the bed. Immediately, the young man hurried to Pei Renji's bed and called softly: "Ah Dad, you're awake, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Pei Renji slowly climbed up with the help of the young man's arms, but he frowned and rubbed his forehead vigorously, saying: "Oh, it hurts me so much." This headache is something that every person who wakes up from drunkenness must experience. , At this point, the young junior had no choice but to gently rub Pei Renji’s temples.
After the headache subsided a little, Pei Renji smiled bitterly and said to the young student: "Lian'er, you must have been up all night again, right?"
But the young man said nonchalantly: "No, Dad, the child has just fallen asleep on the table. Besides, the child has the master's mental skills. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't close his eyes for two or three days. But Dad, you As you get older, you should pay attention to your health and don't drink so much in the future. The smell of alcohol is the most harmful to your health."
