Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 57
Everyone turned their heads and saw a yamen servant leading a group of people walking towards this side.

"Sir, these people say they are uncle's friends." The government servant leading the way walked to Cao Wenxi and whispered.

Cao Wenxi waved his hand at him, signaling him to step back first.

"Brother Yin, you won." The three brothers got off their horses and said dejectedly.

"Brother Yin." The brothers and sisters of the Li family also got out of the carriage and came over.

"This is Lantian County Magistrate Cao Wenxi." Wang Yin pointed at Cao Wenxi and said to everyone.

Everyone just nodded symbolically, after all, a small county magistrate is really nothing in their eyes.

"Wenxi, come, let's get acquainted," Wang Yin patted Cao Wenxi on the shoulder: "These are the three sons of Duke Lu's family: Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chubi, and Cheng Chuliang. This is the son of Duke Yi, Qin Huaiyu"

"I've met a few young masters." Cao Wenxi quickly bowed and saluted.

"This is their sister, Cheng Lingxue." Wang Yin pointed to Cheng Lingxue beside him.

"I've met the eldest lady." Cao Wenxi frowned, and quickly recalled if he hadn't treated her well just now.

"These two are the crown prince and Princess Changle." Wang Yin pointed to the Li family brothers and sisters.

"My lord, Lantian county magistrate, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Cao Wenxi almost fell over and hurriedly saluted.

Cao Wenxi: Uncle, you should have said earlier that the prince and princess are coming, you have hurt me. . .

As for whether it was a fake or not, Cao Wenxi didn't think about it at all. He dared to pretend to be the prince and princess, unless his head was too in the way.

The guards around the carriage saw that Wang Yindao had revealed the identities of the prince and princess, and immediately grabbed their weapons and surrounded them.This time, the two Highnesses were traveling in low clothes, and what they were afraid of was that their whereabouts would be exposed and they would be assassinated.

As the saying goes, troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers, if the two Highnesses make any mistakes, I and others can't bear the responsibility.

Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal them to retreat: Brother Yin is here, so you can just keep it as a decoration. . .

"Magistrate Cao, please get up quickly." Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to help Cao Wenxi. As a prince, he naturally had to behave appropriately.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." The people around were already dumbfounded, and hurriedly saluted after realizing it.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up quickly." Li Chengqian hurriedly comforted the villagers again.

Now that everyone has arrived, Wang Yin stopped his inspection, and everyone went to the Lantian County Government Office together.

Lantian County Government
"Uncle, the three villages of Shangshui, Zhongling, and Xiashui are now your food towns. I wonder how you plan to set the tax?" Cao Wenxi asked after calling everyone to sit down.

"Only three villages?" Wang Yin looked confused: Where is the promised uncle of Lantian County?

"These three villages add up to exactly [-] households." Cao Wenxi said carefully.

"Cut, it's really boring. I thought it was the county chief, but it turned out to be the village chief." Wang Yin complained, "Li Chengqian, turn around and tell your father, he is too stingy."

The whole room fell silent immediately, there was no way to answer these words!
Cao Wenxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: This uncle is so disrespectful to His Majesty. . .

"Understood...Brother Yin..." Li Chengqian answered bravely.

"Uncle, look at the taxes..." There is still work to be done, so Cao Wenxi could only bite the bullet and ask again.

"The tax will be exempted." Wang Yin waved his hand, really not interested.

"Uncle, this..." Cao Wenxi looked confused, unable to understand Wang Yin's operation.

Feeling bored, Wang Yin and Cao Wenxi dealt with the matter of fiefdom hastily, rejected their invitation to stay for dinner, and returned to Chang'an with a group of people.

Cao Wenxi had no choice but to personally escort the yamen servants all the way there.

On the way back, Wang Yin didn't say a word.

"Brother Yin seems to be in a bad mood." Cheng Lingxue thought to himself.

Cheng Chumo and the others felt bored, they thought they would be able to join in the fun, but they made a trip for nothing.

Royal Palace
"Guanyin maidservant, you are really right." Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, and smiled at Empress Changsun: "Cao Wenxi said in the memorial that Wang Yin was a little touched after seeing the scene in the village."

"The concubine also guessed that since Wang Yin came to Datang, he only lived in Kaoshan Village for a while, and then stayed in Chang'an." Empress Changsun smiled: "This trip must have a great impact on the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty. I can understand a little bit."

"That kid Wang Yin actually complained about my stinginess in public." Li Shimin smiled wryly: "I really don't save any face for me."

General House

"It's really boring." Wang Yin turned off the movie and sighed.

When watching a movie just now, the scene of Shangshui Village always floated in his mind from time to time, which made Wang Yin a little upset.

"Go out for a stroll." Wang Yin dodges, climbs over the wall and goes out.

"Brother Yin?" Qin Huaiyu followed and looked at Wang Yin in confusion: "It's already curfew, where are you going?"

"Yo, you're alert." Wang Yin waved his hand; "You should stay at home and don't forget your responsibilities."

"Okay." Qin Huaiyu could only turn around and walk back.

After all, he is nominally the guard of the General's Mansion, and his main task is to protect the safety of the mansion.

"System, if the purpose of bringing me here is to strengthen Datang, shouldn't it be obliterated if you fail to complete the task?" Wang Yin communicated with the system in his mind: "Since I was not forced to do this , then why did you bring me here? It feels meaningless."

"As for the host's question, the system does not have a corresponding program instruction, so it cannot be answered." The system said.

"Didn't the person who made you tell you this?" Wang Yin asked doubtfully.

"This system does not have any developer information, only mission target instructions." The system answered truthfully.

"It's really a boring system." Wang Yin curled his lips and didn't speak any more.

Yixianju

Wang Yin looked at the building in front of him and was taken aback for a moment.

I came here unknowingly.

"Yo, son, you haven't come for a long time." The old bustard warmly greeted him.

"For a table of wine and food, find me someone who is proficient in playing music." Wang Yin directly threw out a gold ingot.

"Okay, don't worry~" The old bustard immediately turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and led Wang Yin into a cubicle.

After a while, the food and wine were brought up, and a woman followed.

"My family has met the young master." The woman bowed and gave a blessing: "I don't know what song the young master wants to hear?"

Wang Yin took a sip of wine: "Just pick what you are good at."

The woman set up the guzheng and started playing.It's just that it was interrupted within 2 minutes of playing.

"Change."

The woman chose another piece of music and continued to play.

"Change."

After changing his face five or six times, Wang Yin simply bought an improved score from the mall and handed it over: "Play according to this."

The woman bowed to finish the sheet music, first looked at it carefully for a while, brewed a feeling, and then moved her fingers.

The melody is right, but the taste is not right.

"Change instruments."

"It's still not right, change it again."

In the end, Wang Yin didn't speak anymore until he switched to the erhu.

After the woman played it a few times, she is now familiar with the score, not as unfamiliar as it was at the beginning.

Wang Yin simply lay down on the floor, staring blankly at the roof.

The familiar melody rang in my ears, and the lyrics couldn't help appearing in my mind.

"The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door and breaks the world..."

"The dream is cold, tossed about a lifetime of love debts, and a few books..."

"If you default to life and death..."

"Wait for the annual rings round and round..."

"Whose soul is broken by how many floors of the Futu Pagoda..."

"The pain went straight to the mountain gate where a broken lamp collapsed..."

"Let me wait for history to turn around..."

"Wait for the wine to be mellow and wait for you to play a zither..."

. . . . . .

The woman couldn't help sighing: the melody of this song is so beautiful, but it also reveals a sense of sadness. It seems that scenes of ups and downs and vicissitudes of life flashed before her eyes.

"Is this song composed by this young master? I have never heard it before." The woman looked at Wang Yin lying on the ground and murmured in her heart.

Wang Yin didn't speak, just sipped his wine, staring blankly at the roof.

For a while, there was only a bleak tune echoing in the room.
