The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

However, at this moment in the Taiji Hall, there is a court discussion, otherwise, if Li Shimin knew that Zhong Wen had been quiet for the past half month, and there was such a disturbance yesterday, he would have to come here to ask Zhong Wen about the situation No.

In fact, whether Zhong Wen was meditating or deducing, even in yesterday's situation, Zhong Wen could sense some dangers.

If any master came suddenly, Zhong Wen could wake up at any time.

Moreover, since Zhong Wenda's rehearsal ended yesterday, he has been immersed in that set of swordsmanship and formulas, correcting and changing some deviations appropriately.

One day and one night just confirmed one yin and one yang, and the Yin-Yang swordsmanship and Yin-Yang Jue deduced by him are more reasonable.

Afterwards, the crowd dispersed after saying something.

And in the Taiji Hall that has entered, the court is still discussing.

However, Zhong Wen left the small courtyard and was heading out of the palace city.

I haven't gone back for more than half a month, and I don't know the situation in the mansion, so I naturally have to go and see what's going on in the mansion.

When Zhong Wen left Miyagi, no one dared to stop him. Wherever he passed and everyone he saw, he would quietly stand aside and salute Zhong Wen.

However, Zhong Wen usually returns the gift.

No matter who it is, Zhong Wen respects it.

Even a small eunuch in this palace, Zhong Wen respected him very much and would never underestimate anyone.

Besides, no one who works in this palace owes Zhong Wen anything. A salute when they meet each other is a respect for Zhong Wen, and Zhong Wen returns the salute. point.

But Zhong Wen's return of the gift made the people in the palace city feel particularly comfortable after seeing it.

If such behavior was seen by some civil servants and military generals, they would definitely say that Zhong Wen was trying to win people's hearts or something.

……

"Brother, where have you been? Why are you only here now? I haven't seen you for half a month." After Xiao Hua saw Zhong Wen returned to the mansion, she grabbed the corner of Zhong Wen's clothes and did not let go. .

This appearance made Zhong Wen especially miss his childhood.

When Xiaohua was young, Xiaohua was like this, and Zhong Wen was nervous, but now, it has returned to that time, which makes Zhong Wen feel very comfortable.

But just as Zhong Wen was replying, Xiao Hua suddenly said again: "Brother, when you go to the palace to do errands, can you leave some money for me? When Xiaozhu and I go out for a stroll, we don't even have enough money."

When Zhong Wen was still feeling refreshed just now, when he heard Xiao Hua say this to him, his head suddenly became dizzy.

"I want money, I want money, what kind of money do I want, if I don't study hard, what kind of money do you want." Zhong Wen looked at this girl, she really didn't play for a day, she wanted to go to the house to expose the tiles.

You take a shower every seven days, can't you spend a lot of money after a day of shopping?

Although he didn't know something in his heart, Zhong Wen believed that Xu Fu was in charge of the money matters, and he would not treat his little sister badly if he thought about it.

"Master Daoist, then...you should follow me to have a look." At this time, Xu Fu bowed and said something to Zhong Wen, as if there was something for Zhong Wen to take a look at.

"What are you looking at?" Zhong Wen was puzzled, and then followed Xu Fu to the side of the mansion, while Xiao Hua looked excited, tugging at the corner of Zhong Wen's clothes, and followed.

And along the way, he did not forget to say some inexplicable words to Zhong Wen.

What are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about.

In short, in Zhong Wen's ears, he didn't understand what the words Xiao Hua said were objects.

But what followed, made Zhong Wen's eyes darken.

On one side of Hou's mansion, something similar to a fenced courtyard wall was built at some point. The courtyard wall is not high, but the things inside are like a sudden blow to Zhong Wen.

The sound of "boom" made Zhong Wen unable to bear it.

Inside the courtyard wall, some animals are kept, just like a small zoo.

"Brother, look, this is Big Mouth. When I was at home, Big Mouth flew away, so I spent some money to buy it from a fanbang. Big Mouth has a big mouth, but it is so stupid. Xiaohua trotted over, pointed to a toucan inside and introduced to Zhong Wen.

And that toucan is just a non-Tang species. For Tang, it is indeed a bit strange. If you buy it, you can buy it. If it’s a big deal, you can keep it. As long as Xiaohua is happy, let her go.

However, the toucan is indeed not a species of the Tang Dynasty. In his previous life, Zhong Wendao had seen it on the Internet, but he had never seen the real thing. And this toucan is actually a whalebill.

Forget about the shoebill stork, but Zhong Wen saw that besides the shoebill stork, he also brought back a tapir, which really made Zhong Wen even more troubled.

Moreover, in addition to these two things, there is also a small white rhinoceros.

Forget about the shoebill and tapir, these two are still small things, but what the hell is this little rhinoceros?Still a white one.

If this thing really grows up, the territory of the Hou Mansion probably won't be enough for others to blow it up.

"Taoist, the bird is ten gold, the one with the long nose is twenty gold, and the white thing is fifty gold, look..." Xu Fu didn't know how to continue.

Yesterday, because of Xiaohua Xiumu, after going shopping in the West Market, I bought the interesting things she saw.

But this money is spent a lot.

That bird cost ten gold, that tapir cost twenty gold, but this little white rhino cost fifty gold.

Yesterday, when Xiaohua brought those foreign people to the Hou's mansion, she called Xu Fu who was still handling things in the restaurant back to pay the bill, which really shocked Xu Fu into a panic.

Indeed, the Hou Mansion still has some money, but that's not how the money was made.

Eighty gold has already been made during the rest of the day, if it takes a few more days of rest, it is estimated that there will not be even a copper coin in the warehouse of the Hou Mansion.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry, he is my little sister, he is my little sister." At this moment, Zhong Wen suppressed the breath in his chest, and really didn't know how to teach himself a lesson. This little girl is gone.

How to teach?

Xiaohua also has money and so on, there are quite a few rewards, and there are a hundred gold pancakes. If you really want to talk about it, then the money is also Xiaohua's own.

Well, this matter can't be discussed in detail.

"Brother, don't you think it's like our old big mouth? Except it's a little silly." At this moment, Xiao Hua didn't even know that her brother was angry.

However, as soon as Xiao Hua's words fell, Zhong Wen's anger also dissipated.

The big and small mouth that the family used to raise was Xiaohua's childhood playmate, and she raised it carefully and has affection. After coming to Chang'an this time, I saw this toucan. I guess I will use this toucan as a gift. Thinking about things, in Zhong Wen's eyes, this also means that Xiaohua is homesick.

Zhong Wen refuses to teach Xiao Hua a lesson.

Because Xiaohua came to Chang'an with him, just to read and write, so that she can learn etiquette and have a good home in the future.

At this moment, Zhong Wen didn't know how to go on talking and thinking, so he could only sigh, and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhong Wen leave, Xiaohua put down the toucan in her hand and chased after Zhong Wen.

……

"You mean that there were scholars who came to the restaurant to make trouble a few days ago? And in the past two days, some scholars came to the restaurant to make trouble? Why?" After breakfast was over and Xiaohua and the others went to study, Xu Fu turned to Zhong Wen reports about the restaurant.

"Master Daoist, I heard from Jin Shui that those literati seem to be doing something behind their backs, but I didn't ask about the details, and Jin Shui also said that it is inconvenient to say anything to me, or I will go find Jin Shui Ask clearly?" Xu Fu responded.

"Don't be in a hurry, just listen to the details of the past few days, and I'll see if someone is deliberately looking for trouble." Zhong Wen was not in a hurry, he heard Xu Fu's business model, and he thought it was okay.

At least, in the absence of raw materials right now, we can only choose limited supply for the time being. Moreover, according to Xu Fu, since the opening of the business, he can earn about a hundred dollars a day.

Excluding expenses and costs, you can earn [-]% to [-]% no matter what, and it is still a net profit.

But because the raw materials for making seasonings are really hard to find, and there are few in West Market, some of them were bought up by Xu Fu.

Otherwise, the model of Huilai's restaurant is not limited to [-] copies.

Following Xu Fu's detailed explanation one by one, after listening to Zhong Wen, he found that there must be someone behind these literati who was doing something.

And it was aimed at him.

As for who the person behind this is, although he doesn't know who it is right now, Zhong Wen thinks that he didn't offend anyone in Chang'an City, so no one would oppose him.

Are you really not offended?

nonexistent.

Ever since Zhong Wen was appointed as Lizhou Inspector by Li Shimin, he offended all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he offended to death.

Even the four great families regard Zhong Wen as a thorn in their side, hoping to get rid of it quickly.

What's more, some time ago, the civil and military officials broke into the palace because of the Tubo mission, and Zhong Wen offended these civil and military officials to the extreme.

It's just a pity that no one can touch Zhong Wen, let alone have the guts to touch Zhong Wen.

They really have no way to get rid of Zhong Wen except to play impeachment or sue the imperial court.

Therefore, they wanted to use the restaurant incident to discredit Zhong Wen, or make it known to everyone in the world, etc.

Chapter 394 Appoint Jinshui to investigate the incident

"Master Taoist, how do you think this matter should be resolved? If those literati are still looking for trouble every day, the restaurant will not be able to continue." After Xu Fu finished speaking, Zhong Wen looked thoughtful. , then asked.

Xu Fu has been worrying about this a lot these days.

Besides, this is not a small matter, but a big one.

Those literati always come here every day to find trouble, but they are also blocked by Jin Shui. So far, they have not caused any major troubles.

"Well, go and find me Jinshui." Zhong Wen thought for a long time, and then told Xu Fu.

"Okay, I'll go and call Jin Shui over here." Xu Fu got the instruction and trotted away.

After two quarters of an hour, Jin Shui rushed into the Hou's mansion in a hurry.

"Taoist, are you looking for me? Is there something you want me to do?" Jin Shui asked after seeing Zhong Wen, saluting.

"Do you know about the restaurant? Li Shan came here that day and it was only a temporary solution. Have you checked the person behind this incident?" Zhong Wen asked directly after seeing Jin Shui coming.

"This... Daoist, I have some things on hand recently, and I haven't checked them out yet. Daoist, give me some time, and I will definitely get these troublemakers out for you." When I asked, I was a little nervous.

Indeed, he really didn't check it out in the past few days, and he was really busy with some things at hand, besides, those literati always ran to the restaurant to find trouble, and Jin Shui was always the first to rush there Stop it, and don't have the time to check it.

Zhong Wen didn't care about it after hearing this, and said bluntly: "Go and tell your superiors, let go of other things first, find out the people behind those literati and tell me, and also, tell me what those literati have done. Let me find out the dirty things, and I want to be more detailed."

Think about who has nothing to do, and everyone is not idle, so they can't just circle around you alone.

Although Jin Shui is a member of the Baiqi Division, it is understandable that he has some cases to deal with at hand, and Zhong Wen will not think about it at all.

However, as soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, Jin Shui realized that Zhong Wen was going to make a big deal.

In addition to finding out who is behind those people, Zhong Wen doesn't even want to let go of those literati.

In Jin Shui's eyes, Zhong Wen is a talkative master.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Wen's actions this time would be so ruthless.

The past has to be pulled out and smoked vigorously, which gives Jin Shui the feeling that the current Zhong Wen and the previous Zhong Wen are completely like two people.

Moreover, in addition to talking less and less now, and more like a master

Inside and outside the words, there is a tone that makes people dare not defy.

"Yes, Daoist, I'll go and investigate right away." Jin Shui quickly responded, and after seeing Zhong Wen nodded, he bowed and left.

After Jin Shui left the Hou Mansion, he let out a long breath.

He couldn't stand Zhong Wen's state at first, he felt so depressed that he didn't dare to breathe.

After receiving the instructions, Jin Shui returned to the office where he was, and after a few orders, everyone put down their official duties and rushed out of the office.

After a while, Jin Shui went to the office where his boss was.

After half an hour, Li Shan received a report from the people below.

"Xiao Daoist is going to fight back. It seems that there is a good show to watch. These people really don't know how to offend anyone, and they don't even look at them. Is this someone you can offend?" Li Shan stood On the palace wall, looking at a certain direction of Chang'an City, he said to himself.

Faced with such a thing, it is impossible for him, Li Shan, to intervene, let alone stop it.

He didn't even bother to report to his immediate boss Li Shimin.

Before yesterday, he might report to Li Shimin according to the way he handled it in the past.

But after yesterday, Li Shan also knew what to do.

Although he is the commander of the imperial guards, he is still a man in the rivers and lakes.

For some things, he should have his own judgment and choice.

Rich or not, he, Li Shan, no longer regards these as bargaining chips for his family, but started to think more about martial arts.

After seeing Zhong Wen's movement yesterday, his quiet heart was once again suspended.

And in the Hou Mansion at this moment, Xu Fu was talking with Zhong Wen.

"Master Daoist, can Jin Shui really find out the people behind these literati?" Xu Fu doubted Jin Shui's ability to handle affairs.

Jin Shui and Xu Fu can be regarded as old acquaintances, and they can also be regarded as people who know everything.

When the two were together in the past, they were always laughing and joking, and rarely passed by.
