The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

As for Zhong Wen saying that he can no longer protect them, they are not worried at all.

It is normal for the main family to leave and put it in Chang'an City.

For example, if a nobleman wants to leave Beijing to work in another place, the affairs of the house are usually taken care of by his family members, or with the help of the housekeeper.

Therefore, this kind of thing is not a problem at all in their eyes.

Chapter 488 The Shadow Comes to Deliver the Will

"Master Dao, I am willing to stay. No matter what happens, I, Mao Er, will always be Mao Er of the County Marquis." A servant named Mao Er, after hearing Zhong Wen's words, immediately waved his hands in response to Zhong Wen.

His words aroused the response of many servants, saying that they would not leave.

What kind of protection is there? This is the County Marquis Mansion, they belong to the servants of the County Marquis Mansion, who would dare to bully them?

Although at the moment Yue Li and his son had their legs broken.

But they also know that the little lady in the house is an extremely protective person.

They even knew that the little lady in the house brought hundreds of people yesterday to destroy the Zhang family and the Kong family who were the masterminds who broke the legs of Yue Li and his son.

What kind of home is this?

Where can such a good host be found?

As for Mao Er, who was waving his hand and talking just now, it can be said that he absolutely believed in the words of the master.

Talk about this Mao Er.

Before entering the County Hou's Mansion, he was a poor man living in Chang'an Fang.

Originally, he, Mao Er, had been fighting in Xishi all along, and he was honest and hardworking.

As early as a few years ago, Xu Fu knew him, and when Xu Fu opened the guest house, he asked Mao Er to help him with some work.

And this year, when Zhong Wen returned to Chang'an, this mansion happened to be there, so Xu Fu recruited Mao Er to work in the mansion.

After Mao Er entered the County Marquis's Mansion, he ate well and slept well, and even took his family with him, and gained a lot of benefits.

Therefore, when Zhong Wen said that he wanted to leave Chang'an, Mao Er didn't want to choose to leave the County Marquis Mansion just because Zhong Wen and his brother and sister left temporarily.

Besides, Mao Er is not an ungrateful person.

Having obtained the benefits of the master's house, he naturally has to guard the master's house well. Even if there are some difficulties, he firmly believes that the master's house can get through it safely, and besides, there is no trouble in the current County Marquis Mansion.

At most, they just lost their official positions. At least, the title of county marquis is still there, and they can still work in the county marquis' mansion.

"Well, since everyone is willing to stay, then I won't say anything more, everything is business as usual, well, you go down first, Xu Fu stays." Seeing that none of these servants was willing to leave, Zhong Wen felt relieved. Also relieved.

"Xu Fu, in a few days, we, brother and sister, will return to Lizhou, and the County Marquis Mansion will be handed over to you. Also, you will continue to manage the restaurant. If you have the opportunity, open one or two more. I believe that the restaurant can still earn a lot of money." Zhong Wen confessed to Xu Fu.

"Master Daoist, I understand that if I have the opportunity, I will definitely open one or two more restaurants in Chang'an." Xu Fu nodded when he heard Zhong Wen's words.

Actually, Zhong Wen didn't need to remind him about this matter, Xu Fu had been planning this matter all along.

However, before Xu Fu found a good shop, he didn't mention it to Zhong Wen.

The daily income of Huilai Restaurant is two or three hundred.

Moreover, it is still in a state of short supply, still does not dine in, and insists on the delivery mode.

Xu Fu is still thinking recently, after opening another restaurant, he will form another takeaway team.

And this idea also came from Zhong Wen.

As for whether it will work or not, I don't know for the time being, I can only say that we will see it when the time comes.

"I will trouble you about the restaurant, but no matter how busy you are, you have to marry me a wife this year. If I come to Chang'an again in the next year, if you don't find a wife, then don't blame me. "Zhong Wen has never let go of Xu Fu's marriage.

A housekeeper of the county marquis's mansion, without a wife, would go to Pingkangfang if he had a little spare time, what kind of thing is that?

Furthermore, this Xu Fu is not a person who is short of money. If he really can't do it, he can buy a woman to be his wife.

"Master Dao, this..., I will try my best, I will try my best." Xu Fu was a little embarrassed by Zhong Wen's words, and answered with his head down.

"Housekeeper Xu, you have to listen to my brother and marry a good wife. I'll come back to have your wedding banquet then." Xiao Hua, who was standing aside, happily interjected after hearing this.

After talking for a while, Xu Fu left.

Ren Zhu and his brothers and sisters stood aside, wanting to speak but didn't know what to say.

Ren Zhu's mother and grandmother are still working in the restaurant for the time being, and they haven't returned to the house, so they have to find a time to explain this matter in the evening.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen went to the place where Yue Li and the others lived.

After a message of reassurance, Yue Li's family got Zhong Wen's promise, and everyone felt at ease.

During the court meeting, Zhong Wen was dealing with the situation in the court hall, and the father and son both saw and heard it.

They also knew that, in order to avenge their father and son, Xiaohua made the officials in the court attack them fiercely.

"You can live here with peace of mind. Ren Zhu and the others still need your father and son to teach them well. Treat you better. It's better for the servants in this house to teach them to read some characters, which is better than them being illiterate. I can't even read a letter." Zhong Wen got up and said to Yue Li.

"Don't worry, Daoist. As long as we, father and son, are still alive, we will not leave the County Marquis Mansion. Let us be the father and son about the literacy of everyone in this mansion." Yue Li replied with tears in his eyes.

Even Yue Li's family members in the room were in tears.

With such a master family, they would not avenge the broken leg for Yue Li and his son in any noble mansion today.

"Okay, you can rest at ease." Zhong Wen didn't stay for a long time, and left after speaking.

That night.

The shadow suddenly came to the county lord's mansion.

In the garden of the County Marquis Mansion, in a pavilion, Zhong Wen sat opposite the shadow, and Xiao Hua sat on the side, listening to the two of them talking quietly.

"Jiu Shou, you are too anxious. There are some things that you can't do whatever you want. The Kong family is powerful, and you can't deal with it. The matter of your booklet has made the Kong family mess up. This has caused scholars all over the world to start messing around." Shadow said helplessly.

"Besides, your resignation caught the Holy Majesty by surprise. In front of all the courtiers, the Holy Majesty was in a difficult situation, so don't blame the Majesty." Shadow continued.

"This matter has already passed, so do whatever you want. How the Holy Majesty punishes the Confucius family is a matter for the Holy Majesty, and it has nothing to do with me. I just want to be a Taoist priest quietly. This political matter is still left to them. Go, as long as you don't mess with me." Zhong Wen said after taking a sip of tea.

"Hey! You are still too young, and your temper is too impatient. After a few years, you must have grown up." Ying Ying knew that Zhong Wen could not be persuaded, and sighed.

"Shadow, you came here today to teach me, right? If you want to preach, then I can only choose to keep silent." Zhong Wen really didn't have the heart to listen to anyone's lecture at this time.

In fact, Zhong Wen at this moment, no matter whether it is for Li Shimin or the courtiers, basically has no thought about it.

I resigned myself, just wanting to get out of political affairs.

I didn't get rid of it before, but if I can't get rid of it now, I will eventually fall into this political affair.

And the affairs of his own teacher will not be able to be completed quickly.

Moreover, the people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain have lost their news. For Zhong Wen, this is not good news.

There are not many people in my teacher's school, so if I really want to search for news all over the world, for me, the difficulty is like going to heaven.

And I can only rely on the Baiqisi under the jurisdiction of Li Shan to help investigate, which is currently the best way.

"You, you, well, I won't say anything more. I came here tonight just to tell you that the Kong family is not as simple as you think. As for the brochures you and Li Shan sent out, they will not affect the Kong family. How much, besides, behind the Kong family, there are four great families of King Cui and Lu Zheng." Shadow said.

"Also, don't resent the Holy Majesty. State affairs are difficult to carry out. You should understand that this is the imperial decree that the Holy Majesty asked me to entrust to you. Although you have resigned from the post of permanent attendant, as a county lord, you must at least bear the responsibility. Some responsibilities." Shadow took out an imperial decree from his bosom and handed it to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen didn't go to accept the imperial edict handed over by Shadow, but just looked at Shadow quietly.

Zhong Wen knew that Shadow had come here to be a lobbyist.

Moreover, this lobbyist was someone Zhong Wen trusted, but Zhong Wen really didn't have the heart to accept the imperial decree.

Zhong Wen's refusal to accept the imperial decree does not mean that no one will.

At this moment, Xiao Hua, who was sitting quietly listening to the two talking, stretched out her hand to receive the imperial edict, and then opened it to have a look.

"Brother, the Holy Majesty enshrined you as Prince Shaofu, is this a high official?" Xiao Hua asked curiously as she raised her head and looked at Zhong Wen, not knowing what official title this Prince Shaofu was, and how tall or how tall he was.

In fact, Zhong Wen didn't know either, but he had heard the name before.

"From the second rank, compared to the position of regular attendant, it is higher than the second rank." Shadow looked at Xiao Hua and explained.

The prince Shaofu's official position is indeed from the second-rank official position, and, compared with the regular servants on the left and right, it is indeed higher than the second-rank.

From the second rank, there are Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao.

These three young masters are also called the three young masters of the East Palace, or the three orphans.

Among them, Cong Yipin, there are Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, and Prince Taibao.

And these three grand masters are also known as the three masters of the East Palace.

Shi teaches Wen, Fu teaches Wu, but Bao is in charge of safety protection.

As for the third young master, that's nothing more than a deputy, and it's even more false.

Although the grade is high, it has no authority.

The position of permanent attendant, no matter where you start, is more practical than the Prince Shaofu, and has a certain amount of military power. If it is in anyone's hands, no one will choose the Prince Shaofu.

"From the second rank, it is even higher than before. Brother, the imperial decree also said that you still have to serve as the governor of Lizhou, and you will not appoint anyone to manage Lizhou." With a smile on his face, he told Zhong Wen about the imperial decree.

After hearing Xiao Hua's words, Zhong Wen looked at the shadow with doubts in his heart, trying to see something from the shadow's face.

Such an imperial edict came from the shadow, which meant that Li Shimin wanted to frame himself in his palm, and let the shadow pass the imperial edict.

"Don't look at me either, this is the meaning of the Holy Majesty, not mine. However, the crown prince Shao Fu is just a vain job, and you don't need to go to the East Palace." Seeing Zhong Wen's eyes full of curiosity, Shadow, Quickly explained aloud.

"As soon as I resigned, the Holy Majesty placed such an official position on my head again. Does this mean that I don't have time to spare?" Although Zhong Wen was a little reluctant, the imperial decree came, and it was the shadow that came to pass it on. I have to accept it.

Fortunately, the crown prince Shaofu was just a false job, so Zhong Wen didn't care much about it.

As for the post of governor of Lizhou, I have always taken it on myself.

It is up to Zhong Wen himself to decide whether to take up the post or not.

Chapter 489 Say goodbye

Zhong Wen didn't know that even if he took a vacant position, he might be called to participate in the court meeting.

This has nothing to do with being false or not, as long as Li Shimin has something to do, he will definitely send someone over to call Zhong Wen over.

As a courtier, one should behave like a courtier.

It may be true to say this on someone else.

However, it would be difficult to say on Zhong Wen's body.

For example, Zhong Wen resigned at the court today, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he began to confess some things, preparing to return to Lizhou with Xiao Hua.

"Jiu Shou, you have an official position, at least it's easy for you to do things." Shadow persuaded.

"Okay, I won't mention this matter anymore. I happened to have something to look for you, and I was delayed by yesterday's incident." Zhong Wen also stopped thinking about Li Shimin's promotion of him, let's put these aside , so as not to feel uneasy.

"I knew that you must have something to look for me when you come back this time, did you see my master uncle?" Ying Ying was the first to speak.

"Well, if your master and uncle hadn't arrived in time, I might have been injured." Zhong Wen nodded, wondering what happened between the shadow and the ghost hand, but it was difficult to ask anything.

As an outsider, it is really difficult for me to ask about other people's sect affairs, not to mention, the ghost hand saved me.

Even the shadow solved many of his confusions.

After all, the shadow can be said to be an existence that is both a teacher and a friend.

As for what the ghost hand confessed to him, Zhong Wen also remembered it in his heart.

As for why the ghost hand didn't come to help a group of shadows, Zhong Wen was still a little unclear about this point.

Afterwards, the two chatted casually.

But in these words, he no longer talked about the ghost hand, let alone the Shumen.

Zhong Wen didn't even mention anything about the Wumen.

"By the way, Shadow, five people were brought back from my house. They were originally arrested by Shumen. They were originally Baiqisi's men and horses. Now it is estimated that their household registration and military registration have been revoked. How do you think I should deal with them?" Zhong Wen Suddenly remembering the five people he brought back, he asked the shadow.

"Just leave this matter to Li Shan." Shadow responded.

"Well, I will hand over the person to Li Shan tomorrow." After Zhong Wen thought about it, he felt that it is most appropriate to hand over this matter to Li Shan now.

In normal times, maybe Zhong Wen would talk to Li Shimin about it.

But right now, forget about this matter, and leave it to Li Shan to handle it properly.

The two chatted from time to time, occasionally drinking a cup of tea.
