On the streets of Luoyang City, a sedan chair was speeding, and finally landed steadily in front of the gate of the West Garden.
The West Garden was a good place built by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, with pavilions and buildings, carved railings and columns, and even the legendary wine pond and meat forest. However, these were all internal matters. The place Yuan Feng visited was just the periphery of the West Garden. Emperor Ling
The land was chartered to buy officials and sell nobility.
"Who dares to trespass into the West Garden~"
There were about a dozen night soldiers at the door. When they saw the sedan approaching, they hurriedly took precautions. You must know that the West Garden is a royal place. Although it is a place where officials and nobles are sold, no one is allowed to enter at night.
"We have something urgent to ask Mr. Zhang. Why don't we go and report it soon~"
Yuan Feng's steward Yuan Ding glanced at the soldier, his eyes full of arrogance.
"Who do you think you are? The important land of West Garden will not allow you to come in if you want. Leave quickly, otherwise you will be shot without mercy~"
Seeing Yuan Ding's eyes raised above his head, the officer on duty frowned and didn't even look at where this place was. It's a royal place. Do you think you are the King of Heaven?
"How dare you~"
Yuan Ding was also depressed. He thought that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family would be treated a little less favorably even by the current emperor. He never thought that he would be looked down upon by a gatekeeper and even beaten to death.
"A Ding~ Don't be rash and talk to people~"
Now was not the time to vent his anger, so Yuan Feng shouted directly in the sedan chair.
"Yes, sir~"
After hearing Yuan Feng's words, Yuan Ding also lost his temper, so he had to put on a smile and came to the front of Naishen Chang.
"Brother Bing, I was reckless just now. Please go and show this letter to Mr. Zhang. He will definitely want to see you~"
Yuan Ding directly took out a wad of five baht money and stuffed it to the chief on duty, along with an envelope.
"This is right~ I will present it to Mr. Zhang~ Please wait a moment~"
The chief immediately changed his mind when he saw the five baht money. He first weighed the weight, it was quite heavy, and then rushed through the door with a smile on his face.
Jucai Hall
It was a place where Zhang Rang specialized in doing business, and countless officials and titles were sold from here, so it was named after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
"Sir, there is someone outside asking to see you~"
When the chief came to the door of the gathering hall, he stopped, knelt on one knee and announced to the door.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were discussing matters in the room. Suddenly they heard the loud shouting, and Zhao Zhong couldn't help but frown.
"Who is so blind? Don't you know that Xiyuan doesn't have visitors at night?"
Zhao Zhong's voice was so high-pitched that Shi Chang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
"Sir, I told that person, but he insisted on seeing you, and even sent a handwritten letter saying that you will see him when you see it~"
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't help but raise their eyebrows after hearing Na Shichang's words. Is there such a person in Luoyang City? Will they see him after reading the letter?
"Send the letter over, I want to see who it is~"
With a creak, the door opened a crack, and then a young eunuch walked out, took the long letter, and returned to the house.
Zhang Rang tore open the envelope and found only two large characters on the huge piece of paper.
"Yuan Feng~"
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at the names on the paper as if they had seen a ghost, and then began to write words on the paper with pens.
"Why did this old guy come here?"
"I don't know either~"
"Then seeing or not seeing~"
"It's OK to see it, it's OK not to see it~"
"I would rather meet him once. My left eyelid keeps twitching. I wonder if he is here to give us money~"
"That's the best~"
Then a fire was lit and the paper they were writing on was burned.
"Hu Feng, go and bring that man here, remember, don't make any noise~"
"No~"
The door opened, and a eunuch walked out of it. Without even looking at the person, he walked straight out the door.
Seeing the eunuch appear, the long-suspicious heart finally dropped, and he followed him dejectedly towards the door.
"Crunch~"
The gate of the West Garden opened a small crack, and Hu Feng and Shi Chang appeared in front of Yuan Ding.
Hu Feng took a look at the sedan. It was the most ordinary sedan. What kind of magic was in it? It could actually alert two adults to want to see it in the middle of the night.
"Dear guest, I agree to see you, but you have to follow me in by yourself, and the others have to wait outside~"
Hu Feng spoke very respectfully. After all, the environment faced by a person like him was to talk about people's opinions and ghosts. When he didn't know the details of the other party, he would not offend others.
"No~"
Hearing Hu Feng's words, Yuan Ding was the first to disagree, but the curtain of the sedan suddenly opened, and Yuan Feng, wrapped tightly in a cloak, walked out of it.
"You guys wait outside~"
After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he ignored them and walked directly towards the door. Hu Feng followed him a few steps after a brief moment of confusion.
"Who is this person? Why does he look so familiar to me?"
With his head full of questions, Hu Feng led Yuan Feng to the gate of the Fortune Collection Hall in a twists and turns.
"Sir, a distinguished guest has arrived~"
Hu Feng shouted inside, lowering his voice.
"Please come in, your distinguished guest. Hu Feng, you are waiting outside. No one is allowed to come near~"
Zhang Rang's duck voice sounded, and Hu Feng pushed the door open without hesitation and invited Yuan Feng in.
"Da Sikong, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly~"
"Thank you so much Mr. Zhang~"
Yuan Feng was not polite and sat directly on the chair.
"I wonder why Da Sikong came to my West Garden late at night~"
Zhang Rang looked at Yuan Feng with a smile on his face. From the way Yuan Feng came in, he knew that this guy wanted something from them.
"To be honest with Mr. Zhang, when Quanzi was sent to Changshan County this time, he happened to encounter hundreds of Yellow Turban remnants besieging Zhending Mansion. Quanzi knew that it was his duty to defend his family and the country, so he led a group of soldiers regardless of his personal safety.
Thousands of soldiers broke through the Yellow Turbans and captured the bandit leader Zuozhou alive. One or two hundred people were killed in formation, and the rest were taken prisoner~"
Zhang Rang, who was still smiling at first, twitched after hearing Yuan Feng's words. This big thing is worth coming here in the middle of the night. Your Yuan family's servants are so elite. They are only stronger than the regular army. How many people can fight with a thousand people?
Hundreds of people don't care about their personal safety, it's really shameless in the extreme.
"Da Sikong, is the road okay?"
Zhang Rang resisted the urge to twitch and asked Yuan Feng.
"Nothing's wrong, just a few superficial injuries, but it's your duty to be loyal to the great man."
Yuan met a person like a human being, and looking at Zhang Rang's face, he naturally knew what he was thinking, but he had no choice but to do this.
It can be said that the reputation of the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family can be matched by few in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu's transfer originally caused dissatisfaction from many parties. The ten permanent servants, the generals and even the governor of Jizhou were all staring at him. If Yuan Shu's transfer was now
Reporting his legitimate record to Zhang Rang, let alone stealing a chicken to buy an official position, it would be a good thing if he was not immediately transferred back to Luoyang.
One thousand against five hundred and he was injured. Yuan Shu really lived up to his reputation as a second-generation ancestor who was not stingy. The Yuan family was so used to him that he was exiled long ago when he let others go.
"It's a blessing for me that the road is safe~ But I don't know why Da Sikong came here this time~"
Zhang Rang was almost unable to hold it in, so Zhao Zhong had no choice but to smile and speak for him.
"Mr. Zhao, to tell you the truth, the highway is my heart's treasure, but it has its own stubbornness. The purpose of moving him to another place this time is to keep him away from Luoyang and to find a share of the family property for himself. It's easy to get some achievements this time.
This scoundrel wants this or that from me, but I can’t help it~"
If Yuan Feng were to be compared now, he would definitely be a movie king-level actor. It is immediately obvious that he dotes on Yuan Shu but also has a sense of helplessness and anger.
"Da Sikong, don't be angry. Didn't the highway also make contributions to my great man this time? His merits deserve to be rewarded~ But I don't know what gift you are going to give him? I think Runan County is good~"
Zhang Rang's eyes began to spin, and he was mentally calculating how much Yuan Feng could pay for his useless son this time.
"The great Han built his country by force. Naturally, I want to find him a military title when I come here this time. In this way, I can let him settle down and live in peace even after a hundred years~"
