Who is this Yang Zhao (Note 1)? Wang Zhao is Qingxiao. As the number one enemy of Li Linfu, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, this minister who rose to power through nepotism has been suppressed by the right minister. As the core of Li Linfu's group, he
His father is naturally at odds with Yang Zhao. If Yang Zhao catches him carrying a military crossbow privately and uses it as an excuse, I am afraid it will really bring disaster to the Wang family and the right minister...
Thinking of this, Wang Zhao temporarily suppressed the idea of fighting. But if he just let it go, his reputation as the eldest son of the Wang family would be completely humiliated. But his servants had all been subdued by the ranger.
If I had to fight over who was the winner, I really wouldn't have much confidence. Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a group of government servants holding iron ropes and wooden sticks panting and running to the scene of the fight. The foreman, Mr. Sun, knew him personally.
The short figure with a bitter face and a standard official smile looked disgusting. Forced to suppress the disgust in his heart, Wang Zhao coughed lightly and said sternly: "I said Mr. Sun, you came in time."
Ah, I was almost injured by this thief, but you and your brothers were in the mood to drink herbal tea and hum songs in front of the stall. If my father knew about this, I'm afraid County Magistrate Zhang wouldn't be able to bear it.
Bar."
After hearing Wang Zhao's unkind words, Capt. Sun scolded this dude in his heart for causing trouble, but he had to put a smile on his face: "Young Master Wang, what are you talking about? My brothers and I were in Tongshanfang."
I was patrolling on the roadside and heard that the young master had been kidnapped by a traitor, so I immediately rushed to Qujiangfang without stopping. I don't seek any merit, I just hope that I can live up to the kindness of the old man Jing Zhaoyin."
The flattering meaning of these words is very clear. Even though Wang Zhao is very thick-skinned, he can't help but blush slightly. Wang Zhao is really helpless towards these officials on both sides of the head, not to mention that Sun Capt. had just paid filial piety to him a few days ago.
, but with his status as the eldest son of the Wang family in Jingzhao, he cannot condescend to argue with an official about the merits of an issue.
Chang'an City is full of powerful people, and you may never know which restaurant will have a doctor sitting across from you drinking tea. Therefore, these officials have already formulated their own set of strategies, which have been tried and tested since ancient times.
Drag word trick. When you are all done making trouble and fighting, we will show up to make peace. Neither party will be offended. We don't ask for hard work, but we can't. We just want to keep our ears clean.
Seeing that Wang Zhao had no intention of going into detail about his crime of neglect, Captain Sun quickly showed his kindness and said: "Young Master Wang appears to be a talented person, but he is actually the best among the young talents of our Tang Dynasty. I don't know which little thief rammed into the frame of your car today.
I'll lock him up in court and give you justice!"
Nan Jiyun, who had been watching coldly from the side, heard that Sun Captou was confusing right and wrong, so he was so angry that he stepped forward and said sternly: "How can you be so shameless? It's obvious that he set up his horse to hurt people first and shot at the army privately.
The crossbow was behind him, but it was Nan who collided with him."
Sun Captou frowned slightly and thought to himself, this person is so ungrateful. The Wang family and his son had great eyes and hands in Chang'an, and even His Highness the Crown Prince treated Wang Wen very politely. Now he pointed out in public that Wang Zhao secretly kept a crossbow, so he can let him go.
What to do with yourself.
While he was thinking about it, he heard a slightly childish voice coming from the crowd: "I wonder if Mr. Sun can listen to what this little man has to say?" Mr. Sun, who was already in a state of distress, was about to reprimand this ignorant man, but he couldn't.
When he raised his head, he was greeted by the young man's kind eyes. He smiled bitterly and nodded to indicate to the young man to continue.
This young man is none other than Li Kuo.
For the young man in front of him, Mr. Sun couldn't be hard-hearted. He had received a lot of kindness from his mother back then. Even if he couldn't find a good job for the young man, he couldn't do anything to repay the favor and make the young man unable to stand up in public.
When Li Kuo saw that Sun Baotou acquiesced, he said loudly: "It is obvious to everyone that Wang Gongzi set his horse and injured people in front of him. This is a fact that no one can deny. Nan Daxia just saw injustice on the road and taught his evil servant a lesson. Besides, he has a sense of propriety."
He was very careful and did not injure anyone. However, when the prince became angry, he actually planned to shoot Nan Daxia with a military crossbow. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, concealing a military crossbow and deliberately injuring people are both the same.
It's a serious crime. I'm afraid even Mr. Jing Zhaoyin can't erase this fact." Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Kuo continued: "Everything is based on the same principle. Even if the prince has a wide range of connections and connections, it is inevitable that the matter can be settled.
It will be taken advantage of by those who are interested, and I am afraid that it will not be beautiful. It is better for both parties to take a step back and deal with it in a low-key manner, which will be beneficial to both parties."
Sun Captou heard this and thought it was reasonable, but Wang Zhao was not a person who was willing to give up. If he insisted on persisting, it would be difficult to handle.
Seeing that the other party was a little tempted, Li Kuo went one step further and said: "Besides, Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen is hosting a banquet in Qujiangfang today to entertain literati and scholars from all over the world. If such a trivial matter spoils Her Highness's interest, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to bear it!"
This sentence awakened Mr. Sun. The reason why he was reluctant to come to Qujiangfang for inspection before was probably because Princess Yuzhen held a banquet in Qujiang.
As a small person, he doesn't think there is any benefit in squeezing his head to watch the excitement. What does the princess or the prince have to do with him? Where there are people, there will be disputes, and the fights between these gods are not like them.
The shrimp can bear it. So the best way to protect yourself is to hide far away, and wait until these gods are finished fighting before you come out to cheer for the winner. After all, whoever wins will be better than the government officials who patrol the streets to catch thieves.
?
After thinking about it, Sun Baotou had a plan in his mind. He walked on tiptoe to Wang Zhao, half-hunched his waist and said in a harmonious voice: "Young Master Wang, it's not that you despise your position and don't deal with it impartially. It's just that if this matter spreads out,
It will inevitably damage your reputation, so you might as well stop it here, after all, that guy has received the punishment he deserves!"
Nan Jiyun was furious after hearing this, and was about to get angry when Li Kuo grabbed his sleeve and had to stop. However, a pair of round eyes stared at Sun Baotou, declaring his dissatisfaction.
Sun Captou was shocked by the sight, and even lost his confidence. There was a hint of begging in Wang Zhao's eyes.
I don't know whether it was Li Kuo's words that had an effect, or whether he was afraid of Nan Jiyun's force. The always arrogant and domineering Young Master Wang waved his sleeves angrily and said, "You're lucky, I rushed to see the master.
Let’s not argue with this country man, Wang Lu, let’s go!” After saying that, he got on his horse and walked away without looking back.
Seeing that his master was already riding away, the steward Wang Lu hurriedly followed him.
Pity those evil servants who were knocked to the ground by Nan Jiyun. They wanted to take advantage of their master's power to vent their anger. But unexpectedly, their master got cold feet and made them suffer this useless anger for nothing!
They helped each other to help their companions, cursed and complained, and finally ran away in disgrace amidst the criticism from everyone.
The perpetrators had already left, and the people around them found it boring and dispersed after scolding the eighteen generations of the Wang family and his son's ancestors.
Seeing that Mr. Tai Sui had left, Mr. Sun finally let out a long breath. He clasped his fists towards Nan Jiyun as an apology.
Nan Jiyun snorted coldly and turned his head away, not wanting to look at this flattering villain anymore.
Seeing this scene, Li Kuo did not hesitate to play the role of peacemaker, cupped his hands towards Nan Jiyun, and said with a smile: "Forgive me, Master Nan, it is difficult for Uncle Sun to face these dandies all day long, but he will definitely
I have never done anything to disgrace the elders of Chang'an, I can guarantee this!"
Nan Jiyun was very grateful to Li Kuo for speaking out for justice. At this moment, seeing that he was interested in mediating, he didn't want to offend the young man. He coughed lightly and said, "Thanks to my little brother for helping me with what happened just now. Nan Ba is being polite. Since you have
My brother is my guarantee. I believe that this poor man will not be a commoner, so I will let this matter go. From now on, if there is any use for my brother, just go to Xuanyangfang to find me in Nan's place. Nan is not talented, now
If anyone asks about Qinghe County Magistrate Zhang Xun's work, just say that he is my friend from Nanba!"
Seeing Nan Jiyun so cheerful, Li Kuo suddenly felt heroic in his chest. He cupped his fist at Nan Jiyun and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'm going to call you Big Brother Nan!"
Hearing this, Nan Jiyun lightly slapped Li Kuo on the back of the head and said with a loud laugh: "You ghost, how could you become my brother so quickly? You are such a little slippery boy! Okay, I will recognize you."
This sworn brother, I have to go back to Commander Zhang, so I won’t stop here. I will have a nice drink with you someday, and you can’t refuse!” After saying that, he got on his horse and headed straight to the north of the city.
Seeing Nan Jiyun walk away, Sun Baotou glared at Li Kuo and said: "Why did you come to Qujiangfang to join in the fun? It's just here. Xidi loves to show off so much. If something happens, how can I explain to my sister-in-law!"
"
Hearing that Sun Baotou cared so much about him, Li Kuo felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Isn't this as old as you? Besides, those young men like me who are promoted to ordinary people may not take a fancy to me!"
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Sun? Here's the Chen Ji Ning Skin Moisturizing Cream you promised to buy me last time. Ah Tian is going crazy waiting for it!" Du Jingtian ran and jumped to Sun Baotou, shaking him
The arms said coquettishly.
Only then did Sun Captou notice that Du Jingtian was here, scratched her nose, and sighed softly: "I owe it to you in my previous life. I'll ask Xiao Cui to deliver it to you another day, okay?"
After receiving the promise, Du Jingtian was extremely happy. He leaned against Sun's head and said softly: "Uncle Sun still loves me."
Sun Captou shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile on his lips.
Suddenly he slapped his forehead, and Sun Baotou said urgently to Li Kuo: "Look at my memory, I went to your house before I went on patrol, and your mother's condition seemed to have worsened, and she kept coughing. Hurry up.
Go back and take a look, don’t miss your condition!”
