The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

The five of them just sat in that hut, occasionally whispering a few words.

This wait is more than an hour.

"My lord, five people from Chang'an have come to the government office. The leader is Liu Gu, who says he is your entourage." When Zhong Wen finished the meeting, a small official from the government office ran up to Zhong Wen to report.

"Who?" Zhong Wen didn't react immediately.

The people who came from Chang'an were either arranged by Xu Fu or Li Shimin, but this Liu Gu made Zhong Wenmao seem to have never heard of it.

"Liu Gu? It turned out to be them, so I know." After Zhong Wen thought for a while, he remembered Liu Gu and the others.

However, Zhong Wen didn't know why Liu Gu and the others came to Lizhou.

After coming out of the County Marquis Mansion, Zhong Wen went straight to the government office.

"Zhong Shaobao." After seeing Zhong Wen, Liu Gu and the other five hurriedly saluted.

"So it's really you, why? Why did you come to Lizhou?" Zhong Wen asked puzzled.

It has only been half a month since I returned to Lizhou, and Qi Gu and the others rushed to Lizhou, which made Zhong Wen really a little confused.

Logically, the five of them had already returned to their hometowns, and according to my estimation, the five of them must have returned to Baiqisi.

Li Shan helped them re-apply for their identity and household registration, and even the compensation money was sent to them.

If nothing else happened, he must have returned to Baiqisi.

At least, in the Baiqi Division, he also has a stable income, and he no longer runs around like before.

"Zhong Shaobao, the five of us want to follow you!" The five of Liu Gu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed to Zhong Wenxing.

"Don't, get up, since you want to follow me, then I'll accept you." Zhong Wenzheng was worried that no one was available, just as Liu Gu and the five of them had seen some worldly people, they could do whatever they wanted for people.

"Thank you, Master." After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Liu Gu was overjoyed.

"How did you come to Lizhou? Did Li Shan arrange for you to come here?" Zhong Wen asked casually.

"Going back to the Lord's house, Housekeeper Xu arranged for us to come here." Zhang Dalin responded happily and loudly.

"Well, since Xu Fu arranged for you to come here, then I won't say anything more. For a while, you can just stay by my side." Zhong Wen was not too polite, as there were not many of them in Lizhou. It's good to have people close to you available.

The arrival of the five of Liu Gu and the others can really solve Zhong Wen's embarrassing situation where no one is available.

As for the salary, Zhong Wen mentioned nothing.

Zhong Wen didn't care too much about these minutiae,

The main reason is that he doesn't care about money, or that he has too much money, and he doesn't think much about these things.

However, no matter whether they are in the government office or the county marquis's mansion, Liu Gu and the other five gradually began to get familiar with the situation in Lizhou.

As they became familiar with the situation in Lizhou for a few days, the five of them wanted to move their family and home to Lizhou even more.

However, because they had just arrived in Lizhou and Zhong Wen had just followed, they didn't dare to say this casually.

But in their hearts, they always kept this matter in their hearts.

After another few days.

Zhong Wen finally sorted out all the things in Lizhou and started to make arrangements.

Even the plan has made a long-term five-year plan.

The scale of the Lizhou business group has also grown larger.

There are corresponding responsible persons for the affairs of Lizhou and Chaka.

One day, in the government office, Zhong Wen told the senior officials of Zhongli Prefecture something, "Don't drive Zheng, you should keep an eye on the matter of the merchant group and salt team. If you have any problems, you must deal with them as soon as possible. If you can't handle it, you can send me a message, every three days, Li San will come to the government office, if there is any troublesome matter, just leave it to Li San."

Now, Liu Gu and the others have become Zhong Wen's followers, and their status has naturally increased.

Whatever happens, they pass through the five of them immediately.

It is impossible for Zhong Wen to stay in the government office for a long time, nor can he stay in Lizhou for a long time. He has his own business to do.

What's more, the more these mundane things are, the more it will hinder his own cultivation career.

"Yes, Inspector Zhong." Zheng Zhi and the others knew that after Zhong Wen said this, the Inspector Zhong Wen would definitely go back.

They have long been familiar with the actions of Zhong Wen, the governor.

Anyway, with or without Zhong Wen as the governor, they are doing all the work.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen left Lizhou City with Liu Gu and the other five, heading for Longquan Temple.

As for the affairs of Lizhou, everything that needs to be done has been done, everything that needs to be explained has also been explained, and everything that needs to be arranged and planned has also been arranged and planned.

Zhong Wen didn't worry about it any more.

In the afternoon, when Zhong Wen returned home, he introduced Liu Gu and the other five to his family.

Zhong Mugen and his wife didn't have any ideas when they arrived.

Fortunately, they built an earthen house before, which allowed Liu Gu and the others to have a place to live, but the conditions were a little worse.

After Hui Guan met his master and the others, Zhong Wen returned home again.

There are five more people in the family, which will always make the family more inconvenient.

If Zhong Wen was not at home, he would always embarrass his father and mother.

But when Zhong Wen returned home from the temple, he found that it was not what he thought.

Before Zhong Wen got home, he heard his father was talking with Liu Gu and the others, talking and laughing, as if they were friends.

Now, Zhong Wen was completely relieved.

"Xiaowen, you came back just in time. Just now I was discussing with Liu Gu and the others to build a few more houses. How do you think we should build them?" asked Zhong Wen.

"Father, it's fine for you to make a decision on this matter, but when you talk about building a house, I really think that our kitchen can be knocked down, and another row of houses can be built. The stone house is lined up, and the stove is built on the back side, so that the front wall can be built, so that it looks good and can keep away wild animals." Zhong Wen said that he would let his father decide, but he blurted out his own opinion.

"Well, that's fine." Zhong Mugen didn't have any opinion after hearing it.

"Father, you decide about this house. I'm just talking about my own ideas, but when you talk about building a house, I think of one thing." When talking about building a house, Zhong Wen He thought that building a house requires worshiping the ancestors, which reminded him of Zhong Dalai when he was in Shaka.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Mugen asked puzzled.

"Father, did great-grandfather have any other sons? Is it just grandfather?" Zhong Wen asked.

"Why did you think of asking this?" Zhong Mugen occasionally heard Zhong Wen's question, which made him even more puzzled.

"Father, didn't your ancestors come from Lizhou, Dinghu, Shizhou? I even heard that there was a family whose ancestors also came from Dinghu, Shizhou, from Lizhou, and I heard that his ancestor was also named Zhonghu , That's why I thought Dad, please confirm." Zhong Wen continued.

"What did you say!!!" Zhong Mugen was so startled by Zhong Wen's words that he almost grabbed Zhong Wen's collar.

"Father, what are you doing!" Seeing that her husband was so startled, Xiu on the side frightened Xiao Wu, and hurriedly shouted to stop.

"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, Xiaowen, tell me quickly, where is that family?" Zhong Mugen asked Zhong Wen, how could he not be in a hurry.

He knew something about his grandfather in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't be so surprised.

"Father, please sit down first. We don't have to be so anxious about this matter. I have also found out who is the person and the place." Father's state is certain.

"Father, that person's name is Zhong Da. He has an uncle named Zhong Bengen, who is the county captain of Sanquan County. Zhong Da's grandfather is Zhong Zhen, and his great-grandfather is Zhong Hu. If you didn't talk about building a house, I would have almost forgotten about it." Zhong Wen said slowly.

"Really? Did he really say that? That man's grandfather is really called Zhong Zhen?" Zhong Mugen listened again, stood up again, and stared at Zhong Wen anxiously.

"Father, yes, that's what Zhong Da said." Zhong Wen confirmed.

"Okay, okay, the elder brother your grandfather has been talking about is finally found, finally found!" Seeing Zhong Wen's conviction, Zhong Mugen immediately shouted, his eyes began to drop.

Zhong Wen didn't expect that his father would still cry, and he was still crying like a child.

As for Zhong Mugen's state at this time, even Liu Gu and the other five were very embarrassed, and they didn't know whether to leave or stay.

At this time, whether it was Zhong Wen or Xiu, they were all stunned there, not knowing how to comfort Zhong Mugen.

No one knew what Zhong Mugen was hiding in his heart.

Every year when the ancestors were worshipped, Zhong Mugen never said anything about the Zhong family, not to mention that Xiu didn't know about it, and even Zhong Wen, the eldest son, didn't know about it.

After a long time, Zhong Wen saw that his father had finally calmed down, so he asked, "Father, don't be sad, what happened back then? Why did my great-grandfather have an eldest son but I didn't know?" Know?"

"Hey! It's not that Dad didn't want to tell you, it's that your great-grandfather never thought that your uncle (eldest father) was still alive. Back then, when the Dinghu war broke out and there was a severe drought, your great-grandfather fled with his family and his family. , your uncle was arrested, and his whereabouts are unknown. After years of wars, your great-grandfather originally thought that your uncle was already dead, so he did not erect a monument or a memorial tablet, for fear that your grandfather would be arrested and served as a soldier." Zhong Mugen Said politely.

As soon as Zhong Mugen's words fell, Zhong Wen understood what was going on.

However, the Tang Kingdom has been established for so many years, didn't my father ever think about setting up another spirit card for his uncle?

Maybe it's really about to forget, or maybe I don't want to mention these sad things.

"Father, have you seen how we go to Sanquan in a few days? Then we can meet our relatives. If Uncle is still there, we juniors can do a good job of filial piety." Zhong Wen saw that his father had calmed down, Say it quickly.

"Yes, that should be the case. When my uncle was young, he was a well-known talent, but it was also to blame for the world at that time, which made your uncle such a good talent go to waste." Zhong Mugen also agreed after hearing the words. agree.

And from his father's mouth, Zhong Wen also knew why Zhong Bengen was able to study, and why he was able to achieve the post of county lieutenant.

Chapter 594 Lizhou City Meets the Calculator Again

Talent, in that era, probably can only be a false name.

If you can meet a good protagonist, you can also achieve a good reputation.

But along with the war, people were arrested.

As for what he did after being arrested, Zhong Wen's family didn't know.

Zhong Wen did not ask Zhong Da why he was in Chaka. As for why he came to Lizhou, it is currently unknown.

Perhaps it was because his father said that he would come to Lizhou when he was fleeing, so Zhong Zhen wanted to find his father, and finally came to Lizhou.

With the news, it is natural to go to find relatives.

Who made Zhong Wen mention this matter suddenly, not to mention, Zhong Mugen has been hiding this matter in his heart.

That day, Zhong Mugen became a little nervous.

After Da Zhongwen talked about this incident, there was no peace for a day.

Even the comfort of the family made him unable to calm down.

For this reason, Zhong Wen had no choice but to explain the situation to his master when he returned to the temple at night, and planned to go to Sanquan County to find relatives the next day.

When Li Daoling learned about this, he also sighed: "So that's how it is. When your great-grandfather's family came here, I never asked about these things. The world is difficult, and everyone's life is not easy."

"Master, then I will go to Sanquan with my father and the others tomorrow. I will leave the three of them at home. If you have anything to do, you can tell them." Zhong Wen couldn't feel the scene at that time, he could only think about it. Go to Sanquan as soon as possible to have a look.

"Okay, you can go." Li Daoling nodded in response.

Nothing to say that night.

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhong Wen talked to his master, he went down the mountain and returned home.

"Liu Gu, Li San, Deng Kuan, the three of you will go to Guanli today to follow my master's orders, Zhang Dalin and you brothers will go to Sanquan with us." Zhong Wen said to Liu Gu and the other five.

"Master, don't you need us to help?" Liu Gu asked.

"Not for the time being, Zhang Dalin and his two brothers are enough, it's not good if there are too many people." Zhong Wen didn't think it was bad to have too many people, but he was afraid that something might happen to his master.

The three of Liu Gu and the others got the instructions and went directly to the temple without much advice.

Then, Zhang Dalin carried some things, Zhang Xiaolin helped Xiao Wu on his back, and followed Zhong Wen's family to the path.

There are still some journeys to go to Sanquan County.

From Lizhou to Sanquan County, if you go by land, it is at least 150 miles.

If you go by water, it will be farther.

However, the most convenient way is naturally the waterway.

After all, if you go by land, the official road is also small, and the mountains and forests are always inconvenient.

As for the waterway, it is possible to take a boat directly from Lizhou to Sanquan County. If it is faster, it should be able to arrive in one day. If it is slower, it may take more than a day.

In the evening, Zhong Wen and his party arrived at Lizhou City.

"Father and mother, these two days are expected to be hard. I will stay in the mansion tonight. I will arrive at the pier early tomorrow morning, and I will try my best to get to Sanquan County before it gets dark tomorrow." Zhong Wen settled down his family. .

"Xiao Wen, don't be too tired. Auntie and your father are not noble people, and with the help of Brother Dalin, they won't be tired." Seeing that her son was about to go out again, Xiu gave a warning .

"Brother, do you want to go out? I'm going too." Xiao Hua ran close to Zhong Wen at this time.

"You, it's better not to follow your brother, your brother still has things to do." Xiu hurriedly grabbed Xiao Hua.

"Aniang, it's okay, I'll just go to the pier, Xiaohua can follow if she wants." Zhong Wen saw that Xiaohua has been very honest recently, although he rarely saw people when he was at home, but he also knew that she was probably bored recently If it's broken, it's no big deal to go out and let the wind go.
