Fu Tang

On the night of the third day of November, Li Congjia had already fallen asleep, but Chunsheng yelled, "Mr., the little lady from the Tian family suddenly ran over!"

Li Congjia was taken aback by his yelling, and asked half asleep, "Who are you talking about?"

Chun was panting and ran over from outside and said, "Fifth lady of the Tian family, she is the future wife of Mr. Xiao Lang!"

Li Congjia just woke up, and her heart is full of crap, it's almost time, what is she doing here so late?This is sleepwalking?

All he had to do was ask, "Did you put her in?" as he dressed.

Chunsheng shook his head: "The concierge didn't dare to let it go, saying it was against the rules."

Li Congjia was relieved immediately, and was going to pay the concierge a bonus later!

If you let someone in in the middle of the night, he will be covered in mouths and he won't be able to speak clearly!

After Li Congjia got dressed, he hurried to the front yard, only to find that Shi Xuehe was standing at the door with a wig leading all the nurses.

"What are you doing?" Li Congjia was quite troubled. It was just a little lady who came here. Do you want to be like guarding against terrorists?

Shi Xuehe said softly: "Mr. Lang will know when you go out and have a look, make way!"

The nurses blocking the door moved out of the way, and Li Congjia's heart sank after he walked out.

He saw Mrs. Tian Wu standing at the door of his house in a mess, and also saw... dozens of soldiers wearing Zhou army armor.

When Miss Tian Wu saw Li Congjia, she couldn't help pleading with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Li's family, please save me, save my father."

Li Congjia thumped in his heart, and before he could speak, he saw a young man wearing a tunic coming out and said, "Your Majesty, you should think about it, this is a criminal, if you cover it up, you will be an accomplice in treason!"

The hat is big enough, I'm really plotting a rebellion, my soldiers are just outside the city, come and beat me if you have the ability.

Li Congjia couldn't help complaining crazily because his sleep was delayed. Fortunately, he was still awake and asked, "This little lady is my cousin's fiancee. No matter what mistakes the Tian family made, she is from my family." , I don’t know who this Dutou Shangfeng is? Can you accommodate me a little bit?”

Dutou said very bluntly: "I don't care what kind of relationship you have with her. I only know that her name is in the issued documents. I have to arrest her before I can make a deal!"

After hearing this, Li Congjia lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Well, I can let you take her away, but you must not neglect her. If she makes a mistake, none of you will feel better!"

After Li Congjia finished speaking, he didn't care what expression he had on his head, and said to Tian Wuniang in a gentle voice: "Don't panic, Wuniang, even if you ask for a crime, you have to be charged with a crime. what's going on."

Dutou originally heard that Li Congjia was impolite, but his face changed and he wanted to arrest him too, but when he heard that the Jiedu Envoy was Dingguo, he couldn't help being skeptical. If he really had a close relationship with the Jiedu Envoy, he would really offend him Sorry.

They all looked up at the mansion, hesitated and said: "Stop talking nonsense, come with us quickly, she will have nothing to do until she is convicted."

Tian Wuniang wiped her tears, looked at Li Congjia and asked, "Can I see Eleven Lang?"

Li Congjia turned his head and wanted to order someone to call Yang Xin, but before he could speak, he heard Yang Xin's voice behind him: "I'm here."

Yang Xin came over and looked at Tian Wuniang's tearful eyes, and asked softly in his heart, "What's going on?"

Tian Wuniang shook her head: "It's too late, you...I..., if my father is convicted, you...you don't wait for me, go marry another little lady."

After finishing speaking, Tian Wuniang wiped her tears, turned her head to look at Dutou and said indifferently, "Let's go."

Yang Xin caught up two steps, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, Li Congjia patted him on the shoulder, and Yang Xin asked: "Mr. Lang, what...what is going on?"

Li Congjia smiled wryly: "You ask me, who should I ask? Go back and rest first. If I can see Jiedushi tomorrow, I will find a way to ask."

Although Yang Xin was in a hurry, he also knew that if Li Congjia was sent to the Jiedu Mansion at this time, the only fate would be that Li Congjia would be thrown out by the servants of the mansion.

It's just that tonight, many people may not be able to sleep.

Although I don't know what mistake Tian Tong made, but I can estimate that it must be not small. It is impossible for ordinary crimes to be so strict on the family members, and no one can escape.

On the second day, because Li Congjia was teaching Zhao Dezhao, because he was worried about it, he was a little absent-minded.

Although Zhao Dezhao was young, he was very sensitive, and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

Li Congjia came back to his senses, secretly ashamed, and felt that he was really disrespectful, and Zhao Kuangyin would send him money no matter what.

"It's all right, finished writing? Let the master have a look."

After Li Congjia taught Zhao Dezhao, he found that Zhao Kuangyin hadn't come back today, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He wanted to go to Zhizhou to check on the situation, but was told that Zhizhou was sick and hadn't seen any outsiders.

Li Congjia had every reason to suspect that Zhizhou was avoiding people with various ties to the Tian family from prying in on the news.

However, what did Tian Tongpan do to scare Zhizhou into such a state?Rebellion is nothing more than that, right?

On the second day, Li Congjia taught Zhao Dezhao as usual, but unexpectedly met Zhao Kuangyin.

After Li Congjia's class was over, Zhao Kuangyin asked, "I heard from Erlang that you have something on your mind recently?"

Li Congjia secretly said with shame: "There are some things, but... I don't know if it's inconvenient to say."

Zhao Kuangyin understood: "I want to ask about the Tian family, right?"

Li Congjia nodded: "What exactly did Tian Tong judge commit? Although Tian Wuniang has not passed the door, she is already a sure-fire wife of the Yang family. If she is arrested like this, we will always have to ask."

Zhao Kuangyin was helpless: "Didn't I tell you to keep you away from them?"

Li Congjia said: "You have to figure it out."

Zhao Kuangyin simply said: "Li leads to foreign countries."

Li Congjia thought he heard it wrong: "What?"

Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, Li Congjia thought, "This crime is more serious than treason."

Li Congjia asked in disbelief, "Which country are you talking about?"

"Southern Tang."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched, and he was very speechless. He was sure and certain that there must be no officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty who served as officials in the Zhou Kingdom. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Guo's potential is much stronger than that of Nantang. Unless he is really devoted to Nantang, everyone knows how to choose.

Li Congjia sighed: "He is a judge, what information can he have? Is there any solid evidence?"

"What kind of evidence do you need for this kind of thing?" Zhao Kuangyin poured himself a cup of tea slowly, feeling that Li Congjia was still too naive.

But as soon as Zhao Kuangyin uttered these words, Li Congjia understood immediately. It is estimated that Tian Tong's judgment was carried out by his opponent. He said that he was connected with foreign countries, but in fact it was just a failure in the political struggle.

The officialdom is really dangerous, and Tian Tongpan was living a very happy life talking and laughing a few days ago, but after a while, he became a prisoner in an instant.

Li Congjia asked with emotion in his heart: "Is there any chance of rehabilitating?"

"Who will rehabilitate him? Even his backers can't keep him, who can do it?" Zhao Kuangyin can answer every question.

Li Congjia sighed: "Will you ask capital punishment or exile?"

"Capital crime." Zhao Kuangyin hesitated without hesitation. Speaking of which, even if Zhou Guo wanted to be exiled, there was no place for him. How much territory did they just occupy?Every place is very important, how could it be used to exile prisoners?

What's more, with heavy codes in troubled times, Tian Tong would not be able to survive.

Li Congjia's heart sank, Tian Tong was judged to be dead, even his son and grandson probably wouldn't survive, and the female relatives... I'm afraid the end would be miserable.

Li Congjia gritted his teeth and asked, "The women of the Tian family...can you accommodate me a bit?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Congjia and said, "Some things cannot be done with money."

"Madam Tian Wu can't do it either?"

Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised: "I remember that another cousin, Tian Wuniang, had to marry because of a misunderstanding. Even if Tian Wuniang was convicted, that child can marry another little lady. Is it possible that she will be accepted after all?"

Li Congjia said lightly: "The Tian family has treated us very well, you should always have a conscience and help if you can."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I just like the fact that you have a conscience. That's fine, I'll go and see about Mrs. Tian Wu. If there's a way, I'll send someone to inform you. But... don't hold out too much hope."

Li Congjia bowed and saluted: "Thank you, envoy."

Zhao Kuangyin asked again: "However, I am afraid that a large sum of money will be needed at that time, and you know what to expect."

Li Congjia forced a smile: "I can only do my best."

With Zhao Kuangyin's promise, Li Congjia was somewhat relieved.

Since he was imprisoned for unnecessary crimes, he can always be accommodated, but it is only limited to female relatives, men... I am afraid it will not work.

Yang Xin obviously couldn't accept this, and kept saying, "How could this be? How could it be like this?"

Li Congjia looked at him with some pity. The child's three views might be reshaped, but there is no way, this is the reality.

Shi Xueting sat on the sidelines with a serious face and closed his eyes, reciting scriptures silently, and said after a while: "The world is like this, you can either escape or get used to it."

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting, held back and didn't ask Shi Xueting whether he was escaping or adapting.

Yang Xin was quite distraught: "It doesn't make sense, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no chance of being wronged if you are framed, Zhou Guo... Zhou Guo is nothing more than that!"

Shi Xueting said: "There is no clear country in the world."

Yang Xin raised his head and looked at Li Congjia: "Is it the same in Datang?"

Li Congjia said with a wry smile: "If I didn't want to compete with those people in court, why would I bother leaving Beijing?"

Yang Xin was disappointed and sat there with his head downcast. Li Congjia couldn't bear to see it, but he knew that this was the transformation he had to go through as he grew up.

Shi Xueting couldn't see his disciple's disappointment, but he could imagine it, and couldn't help saying: "What happens to the world has nothing to do with you, as long as you persist, then you don't have to follow the crowd."

After hearing this, Yang Xin's eyes lit up. Indeed, what are other people doing?If he really can't get used to it, can't he change it?

Seeing that Yang Xin left full of energy, Li Congjia couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid it won't do Eleven Lang any good if the mage said so."

Shi Xueting asked back: "Since when will you be an upright person and still talk about benefits?"

Li Congjia paused before saying: "You're right, but in troubled times, the more upright you are, the harder it is to survive. No one wants to follow the crowd, and they are all forced by livelihood."

Shi Xueting chuckled and said: "In that case, this matter is not a problem for Yang Xin. His life was not good enough before, but now what is there to worry about? Or maybe you and I can't protect him. he?"

Li Congjia: What you said is so reasonable that I am speechless.

Shi Xueting has his own ideas about Yang Xin's education, and Li Congjia simply doesn't care about it. If Shi Xueting wants to teach a gentleman, let him go.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Zhao Kuangyin was a man of his word, and within a few days he gave Li Congjia a message: the female family members of the Tian family had decided to serve as official prostitutes in Jiaofang.

Official prostitute... Li Congjia sighed. The most difficult thing is to become an official prostitute, because official prostitutes cannot be redeemed, at least not now.

Seeing Li Congjia's sad face, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about, and it's not that you can't accommodate. It just so happens that Jiaofang Envoy is here these few days. You should find a way to get in touch with him, or you may have a chance."

Li Congjia was very surprised. He didn't understand how the envoy of Jiaofang got here from Daliang. However, he didn't ask too much. Zhao Kuangyin was able to show him a way. Those who make friends with Jiaofang Shi are, after all, eunuchs.

The way Li Congjia thought of was to find Zhizhou!

The status of the Jiaofang envoy is not high enough, that is for Zhao Kuangyin, but for a "commoner" like Li Congjia, it is a person like a cloud.

After Zhizhou hid Li Congjia for several days, he was finally defeated by the gold and silver offensive, and met Li Congjia with a sad face.

Zhizhou said earnestly, "Zhong Yin, it's not that I'm willing to die, it's just that the Tian family committed a serious crime this time. If I want to save them, I'm afraid I have to involve myself in it."

Li Congjia hurriedly said: "I know all of this, and I don't dare to embarrass Zhizhou. Eleven Lang has a lot of affection for Wu Niang, and I can't bear to see her reduced to this point. Now that I heard that the Jiaofang envoy has arrived in Jiangdu, I just want to ask the Jiaofang envoy for accommodation." One or two, let me redeem Tian Wuniang."

After hearing this, Zhizhou sighed: "It is her good fortune that Tian Wuniang has such a loving and loyal fiancé-in-law. In this case, it happens that in two days I will hold a banquet for the Jiaofang envoy, so you can come too."

Li Congjia got up and saluted and said, "Thank you Zhizhou, a small gift is not a respect."

What Li Congjia gave to Zhizhou was a buffalo made of gold.

Zhizhou nodded in satisfaction and added: "It's best not to say anything too unsightly at the banquet. If you have the ability to get acquainted with the Jiaofang envoy, you can speak."

Li Congjia also knew in his heart that a banquet might not achieve his goal, but it was always an opportunity.

Two days later, Li Congjia received an invitation from Zhizhou. After thinking about it, he did not dress as richly as last time. After all, he will send money to Jiaofang envoys. Dressing too richly is not to tell others that he is rich. Want to grab it?

So he just wore a book long shirt, but he was very particular about the fabric and accessories, and put a quilted cape on it, and then went low-key and plain.

When he got there, he found that his position was not very good, almost in a corner position, so it might not be easy to talk to the Jiaofang envoy.

Just when Li Congjia was trying to find a way, the Zhizhou above suddenly said: "I heard that the envoy likes poetry. It just so happened that in the past two days, a talented man came out of my Jiangdu Prefecture. His poems are romantic, and he can export poems. I wonder if the envoy would be interested in tasting it." ?”

After hearing what Zhizhou said, the Jiaofang envoy suddenly became interested: "Oh? Does this person have any works?"

As soon as Zhizhou clapped his hands, a maid presented Li Congjia's poems.

The Jiaofang envoy took it over and read it over and over again. After a while, he patted the table and said, "That's right, where is this person? Such a good work, I must go and visit."

Zhizhou said with a smile: "it just so happens that this person is also above the hall today, where is Li Yu?"

Li Congjia tidied up his clothes, walked over to salute and said, "The grass people have seen the messenger."

The envoy of the Jiaofang was surprised by Li Congjia's youth. Seeing him gentle and handsome again, with a natural nobleness in his gestures, he couldn't help but love him and said: "This son can be called the reincarnation of Wei Jie."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched, and he added: "Thank you for the envoy's compliment."

Jiaofang stared at Li Congjia without blinking and asked, "I heard that you can write poems, is it true or not?"

Li Congjia said proudly: "If it is true or not, the envoy will know once he tries it."

"Okay!" Jiaofang's eyes lit up: "So, you can... take this dinner as the theme and write poems and lyrics!"

After Zhizhou heard this, he was a little worried about Li Congjia, but Li Congjia himself was relieved. Fortunately, he didn't limit the genre, otherwise he would plagiarize other literati.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready soon, and Li Congjia thought about it for a while, and wrote down the three characters "Jade House Spring".

The Jiaofang envoy looked at Li Congjia curiously, and saw that he wrote the entire poem on rice paper like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Evening makeup starts to brighten the skin, and Chuntang Dai'e is lined up.

The shengxiao blows through the water and clouds, and the neon clothes sings all over again.

Who is more fragrant and crumbs in the wind?

When returning home, put the candles red, and wait for the horseshoe to clear the night.

Li Congjia didn't write very fast, because he didn't want to appear too monstrous, and he changed the first sentence. After all, the original sentence was "spring palace concubines lined up", which obviously wrote about the palace and the palace. Maid, if I really want to write it up, I'm afraid he will go with the Tian family as companions.

In a hurry, he was not very satisfied with what he changed, but even if there were some flaws, there was nothing wrong with it.

After Li Congjia received the pen, a servant next to him presented the poem to the envoy of the teaching workshop.

After reading it, the Jiaofang envoy couldn't help applauding: "I have heard that words of happiness are difficult to work, and words of poverty are easy to say, but now I see such interesting words, it should be clear!"

The Jiaofang envoy poured two glasses of wine himself while talking, and handed one to Li Congjia.

Li Congjia took it over with trepidation and said, "I'm ashamed and dare not take it."

The Jiaofang Envoy simply said, "Come, come, sit beside me."

Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, he finally lived up to this opportunity.

It's just that the next banquet gradually changed from fun and elegant to romantic and flirtatious. Li Congjia stared dumbfounded at the Jiaofang envoys hugging left and right.

What about the eunuch?Now that you are an eunuch, you still belittle the little lady?

But the frivolous little lady in Jiaofang didn't forget Li Congjia, she kept discussing poetry with him, and even persuaded him to drink.

If Li Congjia hadn't had more than ten years of exam-oriented education, he would probably have to explain it here today.

In fact, he also confessed here today because...he drank too much in the end!

After waking up the next day, Li Congjia found a little lady next to him. Fortunately, the little lady was dressed neatly. Reaction, really gay is so confident!

After he finished washing, he didn't see Zhizhou and Jiaofang envoy. It is said that he was still asleep, but the servants of Zhizhou's mansion collected the poems he wrote and returned them to him.

After Li Congjia took over, he found that he actually wrote two poems last night, one was Yulouchun, and the other was... Bodhisattva Man!

Yes, it is the Bodhisattva Man with flowers, bright moon, dark cage and light mist!

Li Congjia's eyes darkened when he saw that poem, that poem was written by the Empress Dowager and Xiao Zhou Empress when they had an affair!

The whole poem is very evocative, and the description of the affair is very delicate. To make this poem out, it is simply a disintegration of people!

Li Congjia hurriedly left Zhizhou Mansion after finishing his poems, and began to think about what kind of image he left in the eyes of the Jiaofang envoy?

When I got back to the mansion, as soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw Yang Xin running out and said excitedly: "Lang Jun, why did you come back? I will tell you a great thing! Master, his eyesight has recovered! Eh... your neck... ..."

When Li Congjia heard that Shi Xueting's eyes had recovered, he couldn't help being very happy, he didn't even notice the doubt on Yang Xin's face, and asked, "Really?" while walking quickly to the mansion.

At this time, Shi Xueting also came out to welcome him, his eyes were bright and energetic, he put his palms together and was about to salute, when he saw the bright red lip mark on Li Congjia's neck.
