Chapter 229: Arrow shot of the princess

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, which was made by Wang Baofu, Liu Huilan and Gan Xin's wife. But it can be seen that Li Gang was full of worries and absent-minded. When he was a governor in the past, Ouyang Jue, Li Gang, was still a relatively optimistic person, but after he became a prime minister, he seemed to be depressed. This person would only assume the obligations of the prime minister and would not enjoy the rights of the prime minister.

Several men went to the table first. Before Ouyang could comfort him, the old liar Taixuzi spoke first: "Mr. Li, although the right prime minister is the official position of all officials, it does not mean that he should do all the world's affairs, destroy all the injustice, and restore everyone to justice. Lord Li sees that there are all pure and good people here, and they are not bad, but they always have more or less faults. For example, you are willing to believe in the official voice, and the reputation of the Jurchens is awesome."

Gan Xinxi said: "Is it so famous?"

"Of course, the old Taoist has long heard of the story between you and the pretty widow Zhenniang." Taixuzi ignored Gan Xin and glared: "Look at Lord Li, if Lord Ou had no tolerance for faults. Because Gan Xin was not disciplined and abandoned it, would Yangping still be in the current situation?"

Li Gang asked: "What does Taoist priest mean?"

Ouyang smiled and said, "The old Taoist means that Lord Li wants to measure the role of everyone. For example, Tong Guan did not always embezzle and lose money. Fortunately, he was very happy with merit, but he could fight. Now he was transferred to the Military Affairs Office, which not only gave him no chance to embezzle and lose money, but also could play his strengths. If the emperor had dealt with Tong Guan at that time, would there be the Military Affairs Office? Lord Li was the governor of the Jiedushi and should know the importance of unified arrangements to the direction of the war."

Li Gang heard this and said, "I would like to ask the Taoist priest for advice."

Taixuzi said: "Lord Zong Ze is indeed an honest and capable minister, but he is too honest and dislikes others, and he also dislikes him. If Lord Li wants to push Lord Zong to the position of censor, it will not only harm Lord Zong, but also make you lose the support of all officials. It is better to transfer Lord Zong to the Privy Council to be in charge of logistics supply and material allocation. First, do not offend all officials. Second, the emperor must be satisfied with such a person in the Privy Council. Third, there will be no worms in the logistics department. Everyone is satisfied with this arrangement, and Lord Zong will not be excluded."

Li Gang felt it made sense and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Ouyang asked on the side: "Zamao, how do you know so much?"

Taixuzi Needle: "Wanyan Aguda is very good at using people, and the old Taoist has learned some of it."

Li Gang stood up and bowed and asked, "Didn't you ask for advice?"

Taixuzi waved his hand and said, "I can't say I'm asking for advice. The old Taoist was originally the national teacher of the Jin Kingdom. Because he was so impressed by his hometown, he returned to Song Youfang. He was kind to the people and was also a way for us masters to be fame and fortune."

Ou Ping sighed: "Old Master, you are so shameless. No wonder the young master called you Zamao and you didn't feel anything at all."

"What do you know?" Taixuzi said disdainfully: "Why should people outside the world have worldly moral constraints?" I am shameless, I am happy

"Well said," Li Gang raised his glass and said, "I'll respect Taoist Master."

Ouyang said on the side: "Mr. Li, if you don't like this miscellaneous Mao, be lazy, despicable, shameless, pretend to be a ghost... just take him away. I'm in Yangping and I don't want to see him."

Li Gangxi said: "If you have the guidance of a Taoist priest, everything will be twice the result with half the effort, but the salary of this official is small..."

When Ouyang saw that Li Gang was really happy, he said, "This is not a problem. It's 200 yuan a month, and I, Ouyang, have a private subsidy." Not to mention kicking someone away, Li Gang also needs such a slutty person. This is how Taixuzi uses people.

Taixuzi looked at Ouyang sadly and asked, "Do you really hate the old Taoist so much?"

Ouyang got goosebumps and said, "Ouping, Lord Li is busy with official business, so he will find a car tomorrow to take Lord Li and Taoist Master Taixu back to Beijing."

"Yes" Ou Ping was also happy to see Taixuzi want to get out. Before Ouyang came back, this old guy actually climbed Li Shishi's wall and was stunned by the official. Ou Ping blushed and went to redeem it. It's embarrassing to know such a person.

Taixuzi shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, I, the old Taoist, dare not go to Tokyo. If someone sues me for a witch, I can't afford it. Tokyo and Yangping will only take one or two days. If you have any needs in the future, just come to Yangping."

Ouyang said patiently: "Miscellaneous..."

Taixuzi was angry: "Your master is also a mess."

"Okay, Taoist priest. There is always time to visit someone else's house. You can't bear to eat and drink freely in my house. You also want me to give you two hundred staples of pocket money every month." Ouyang asked: "Are you embarrassed?"

"People outside the world have long been put on the face." Taixuzi took a sip of wine and said, "Yangping is really a good place, with red flowers and green wine. I don't know how many people fall here and need to be enlightened by the old Taoist."

Ouyang waved his hand and said, "Ouping, seeing this person the day after tomorrow will make people go to prison for the crime of harming the people."

Taixuzi was surprised: "What does evil words mean to harm the people?"

"Any monk, nun, Taoist priest, or Taoist nun, whoever walks on the ground of Yangping and whom the official dislikes, will be punished with this crime."

"..." Taixuzi sighed: "You are so shameless, you are so shameless. Forget it, the old Taoist will go to Lord Li's mansion to stay temporarily. Don't miss me then?"

Li Gang was overjoyed: "Then thank you Taoist priest." He didn't know how many Taoist masters Taixuzi had, but with this shameless face and the means of being a national teacher of the Jin Kingdom, he completely made up for his shortcomings as a gentleman.

"Boy" Taixuzi said, "The old Taoist gives you a few words, will you listen?"

"As long as you leave, don't say a few words, I will listen to two hundred words." Ouyang was very sincere. Although he didn't have a deep personal relationship with Li Gang, he still admired this person very much. Although Taixuzi was all tricks in the world, he could make up for Li Gang's shortcomings.

"If you want to find Yiren, go south."

Ouyang asked: "What does it mean?"

"Aren't you looking for a woman? She is in Luzhou to the south."

Of course Ouyang knew who the woman Taixuzi was talking about was, and asked in surprise: "How did you know?" He wanted to save Xue Bing, of course Wanyan Lan was early on.

Taixuzi said incrediblely: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, if there are thousands of stakes."

"Brush and ink." Ouyang Shubiao wrote several words and folded them. Taixuzi wanted to answer, but Ouyang took them back: "Please answer."

"When you were visiting Yangping with Lord Li in the afternoon, Zhang San asked me to tell you, "I'm in Luzhou now."

Ouyang: “…”

"Jiang is still an old hot young man, haha." Taixuzi took the paper and looked at it. After a while, he was stunned and said: "Do you believe it or not, the Sa family has taken you as a birdman for the Buddha."

Gan Xin took it over and took it, and spit out the wine. The other formats were correct, but the amount was a little problem. It said: a few thousand guan. It was correct to think about it. Taixuzi wanted a few thousand taels, so he wrote a few thousand guan. But such things cannot be paid for a penny, and the two were shameless. As a result, they tied.

The women who had just joined the table laughed in a panic, Taixuzi was ashamed, and had known that this kid was not a good bird. However, he was a person who would not be angry, otherwise he would not have had a relationship with Ouyang to cook shit and discuss heroes. He waved his hand and thought that things had never been born.

...

The next morning, Yangping's logistics carriage carried Taixuzi to Beijing. Taixuzi wanted to deduct the travel expenses of the carriage, but Ouyang ordered him one step earlier: I don't know this person. Li Gang is a gentleman, and Taixuzi is embarrassed to start. As a result, he could only sigh, who said that Yangping is full of gold? The old Taoist walked around and fell ill and had not earned a penny.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Ouyang and Zhang San and Li Si went to Luzhou. With the help of the magistrate, they quickly found the Wanyanlan ship floating on the river. Ouyang greeted him on the shore, but the ship kept stopping. Ouyang had no choice but to ask the soldiers who helped find the ship to shoot arrows. Seeing that Ouyang was indeed in a dark hand, the ship had to dock, but the tragic thing was that since it was not on the dock, the ship was proudly stranded and a large hole hit the bottom.

Ouyang pulled Wanyan Lan ashore and said with gratitude: "Fortunately I was on the shore, otherwise I would have found someone to repair the boat in this wilderness." After half a month of mingling with Taixuzi, Ouyang's morality has a sharp decline, and he said nonsense. Ouyang immediately thought about destroying Taixuzi humanely, so as not to harm the country and the people.

Wanyan Lan shook her head and didn't like to have verbal disputes with this person. What she cared about was why Ouyang was so anxious to find her during the Chinese New Year, and even forced herself to dock with force.

Ouyang ordered: "You help the princess repair the ship, and I will pay for it. Will the princess ride a horse?"

Wanyan Lan took the reins and turned her horse on her back, Ouyang followed, Zhang San and Li Si were behind, and more than a dozen soldiers were sweating coldly and shot the princess with arrows. What is that crime?

Seeing that Ouyang had not spoken, Wanyan Lan had to ask first: "Where to go?"

"Where are you not going?" Ouyang replied.

"Then why don't you say something?"

"I want to wait for your anger to fade."

"Do you think I'm in the mood to be angry with you about this?"

"That's good." Ouyang thought, "Actually... I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"You know you're going to find me, tell me."

Ouyang said: "I have an old friend who was locked by Jin Guo. I want you to give me some face, find someone to clear my old friend, and let me go."

"Ha, what a big deal." Wanyan Lan said with a smile: "You Ouyang cover the sky with only one hand. Don't talk about one person, you can't rescue ten people easily."

"Don't do this," Ouyang said patiently: "You may know me, an old friend, too."

"who?"

"Xue Bing."

"Xue Bing?" Wanyan was shocked. Then he thought about it and realized: "No wonder you could escape the pursuit at that time. It turned out that there was an inner man in the Jin Kingdom."

"You should be serious and don't joke, okay?"

"Where's kidding?"

Ouyang said: "I was a down-and-out magistrate at that time, and I was involved in the usurpation of the throne. I didn't have much money, so how could I put an inner supporter in the Jin Kingdom? Please use your brain to think about whether things are good."

"you……"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've lived with a scoundrel for some time recently and I've spoken meanly." Ouyang quickly apologized.

Wanyan Lan thought about it and it was right. Xue Bing could not be Ouyang's inner supporter arranged by Jin. Zhao Yu could not be, as at that time, he had not usurped the throne. As for Song Huizong, Wanyan Lan really looked down on him. His brain couldn't think of an idea to put the inner supporter. Thinking of this, Xue Bing could not be an inner supporter. Wanyan Lan asked: "This is easy to talk about, as long as General Xue is not dead, it is easy to talk about. General Xue is half a Chinese teacher, and I will not look at him deeply..."

Ouyang flattered: "Zhuo"

Wanyan Lan stopped and glanced at Ouyang, but couldn't raise her spirits to scold him, and asked, "What's the crime?"

"I heard that he was trespassing the palace." Ouyang thought about it and said, "It seems that he was stealing secrets."

Wanyan Lan was shocked again, and after thinking about it, she shook her head: "I have no choice."

Ouyang had known that she would say this and asked, "Don't you want to know how I learned the news? Not only did I know this news, but I even know how many bowls of grain Wu Qi bought to eat a day, what food did he eat, what kind of food did he eat, how many guards he was around him, which little wife he most favored, how many children he had, how old he was, and even his hobbies he was."

Wanyan Lan was surprised for the third time. She could see that Ouyang was not lying, which means that someone around Ouyang had already reached Wu Qimai's close position. This is a very, very uneasy thing. Wanyan Lan thought about it for a long time and said, "If you are willing to tell me your identity, I can help you rescue Xue Bing."

Ouyang asked: "How do I trust you?"

"I, Wanyan Lan, if I violate the oath, my tribe's Jurchens will be slaves for generations." How cost-effective is this deal? Wanyan Lan, a person who only believes in superficial evidence, immediately made a judgment.

"Okay, I believe you." What else can I do if I don't believe it? Dead Ma Quan treats the living horse. Ouyang said: "This person is your national teacher Taixuzi. Sorry, he is my old friend since I was a child."

"Ah?" Wanyan Si was shocked, but immediately asked, "How can I believe your words."

"Just think about it, he will know that he borrowed me to open the eyes of the sky. He also notified me that Wanyan Aguda sent warriors to assassinate me. But I didn't expect you to join temporarily and didn't get his information, and he ended up catching up."

Wanyan Lan nodded and asked, "Then why did you sacrifice another friend to save Xue Bing?"

"Well... there is a reason for this, can you not ask?"

"Okay," Wanyan Lan said: "I will return to Jin Kingdom immediately. Xue Bing is kind to me. I also want to know if he was wronged."

"Yeah, it must be wronged." Ouyang took out a piece of paper and said, "This is a note. If you go to Hangzhou or Yangzhou to find Zhou An, you will arrange a special boat for you if you don't have a sailboat."

Wanyan Lan answered the note and said, "I feel fooled."

"To be honest, Xue Bing is not easy to save. He has this secret." Ouyang didn't hide it. Anyway, Wanyan Lan would definitely know: "I don't want to know this secret, but I hope my friend is safe. So there is really no way. You can take house arrest, but you must not hurt him."
