Fang Jun was a sensible person and knew that he had something private to say, so he got up and left.
Li Daozong stretched out his hand to stop him and said to the old bustard: "Erlang is not an outsider. If you have anything to do, it's okay to say it. There is no need to avoid it."
It was just an attitude that made Fang Jun sigh at Li Daozong's tactful manner. A simple sentence of "not an outsider" easily gained Fang Jun's favor, because he was Li Daozong, and to be recognized by Li Daozong was an ordinary person.
How could you not be happy about it?
And what secrets could a madam have to report to Li Daozong?
Benefit without any expense, a small trick can show Li Daozong's sophistication.
The madam hesitated for a moment, then softly told the whole story...
But there is a popular Qinghuan in Zuixian Tower, named Cui Nu. Not only is she charming and beautiful in life, but she is also naturally charming.
Youjun's "Cao'e Monument" was written in a slender and elegant style, with the charm of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, quaint and pure, without losing the meaning of Youjun's writing, and it was written by a talented woman.
With such talent and stunning beauty, naturally the most sought-after candidates were like crucian carp crossing the river, and one of them was the steward of the Changsun Mansion.
This steward is generous, and he is indeed quite talented and elegant. He is very popular with Miss Cuinu. He often talks about games, recites poems and composes poems, and is very fun to get along with. This steward of the Changsun Mansion is probably
He was fascinated by Cui Nu's beauty and expressed his desire to redeem the girl Cui Nu more than once.
But Miss Cuinu just smiled and said nothing.
However, even though a humble peasant like Cui Nu is born into a lowly family, he is the most arrogant and looks down upon people of that lowly class. Even if he becomes a slave, a maid, or even marries a farmer or a commoner in the future, his reputation will be washed away.
, and would never marry a domestic servant.
Not even a servant of the Changsun family...
It's just that Cui Nu's job is to greet guests with a smile, so she refused and didn't agree to the manager of the Changsun family, she just dealt with it.
Early this morning, the steward of the Changsun family came to look for Miss Cuinu again, claiming that he had obtained a sum of money and was willing to redeem Cuinu's body and then fly away.
Li Daozong frowned and asked, "How much is the ransom money for Cui Nu?"
The old bustard replied: "Cui Nu has not yet reached the age of combing her hair, and the young masters in the capital are flocking to her. Who is not spending a lot of money? Therefore, there is no intention to let her redeem herself, so naturally there is no ransom money. However, it is not that there are no wealthy families looking at it.
There is a precedent for such outstanding Qinghuan people, but the ransom money is a huge sum of money. If you don't have three to five hundred guan, you don't dare to open your mouth."
At this point, Fang Jun also became curious: "How can a mere servant of the eldest son's family spend so much money to redeem the life of a widower? That means this person doesn't only have this money. He can take the steward back home."
, no matter if you marry her as your head wife or take her as a concubine, you can't let her work in the fields, right? It will be a huge expense to raise her. The eldest son's family is really interesting. A domestic servant dares to covet such a popular person.
Qing Guanren?"
"I'm afraid this person has some shady background, but it's also a family matter of the parents' and grandson's family. Why should outsiders like us care about it? You just need to deal with it according to the normal situation. If you can redeem yourself, ask him to hand over the money and take the person back.
Let's go; if it's against the rules, don't worry about the eldest grandson's family or not. Could it be that this king is afraid of his eldest grandson Wuji?"
Li Daozong also has more things to do than less things to do. Even if this person embezzles money from the eldest grandson family, what does it have to do with him? There is no need to clean up the house for the old fox eldest grandson, but he is happy to watch the fun!
When the old bustard heard this, he hesitated a little and did not move away. He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Daozong was a little unhappy: "What else is there?"
The old bustard glanced at Fang Jun, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "The manager of the Changsun family has a lot of weird words. He first said that he had done a very important thing under the orders of his young master.
He also said that he would have to fly far away for the rest of his life and would never dare to return to Chang'an again..."
Fang Jun's heart moved.
The young master of the Changsun family, isn't that Changsun Chong?
What important things can that pretty boy do for his servants?
For the Changsun family, since it involves a huge stake in the world, it's a big deal...
Stab in the sky?!
Fang Jun was suddenly shocked and looked at Li Daozong in disbelief.
Li Daozong also looked at the exchange with a surprised look on his face, and the two of them looked at each other at the same time!
"No way?"
The two of them said this sentence in unison, and they understood that the other party had the same idea as themselves.
The only major event that happened recently was the assassination of King Li Tai of Wei...
But will Changsun Chong send someone to assassinate Li Tai?
Even if Li Tai dies, what good will it do to him?
No motive!
Fang Jun rubbed his face and said in a rogue manner: "Ah...it was getting late and my nephew was a little sleepy, so he left and went home to sleep with my concubine..."
Although he doesn't get along with Changsun Chong and is happy to see Changsun Chong suffer misfortune, but since this matter involves the Tian family, it would be wiser to stay away. Once everything involves the Tian family royal family, the meaning will change, and you may have to torment yourself.
Go in, this is what a wise man would not do...
He wanted to retreat, but Li Daozong refused to let him do so.
"You brat, if you run away when you see trouble, you're too unjust, aren't you?"
"My lord! You are a towering tree, and my nephew is just a grass that falls in the wind. How can you compare with you? No matter how strong the wind and rain, you will naturally remain standing, but a small evil wind will destroy you."
My nephew has to move his head, so look at this..."
Seeing Fang Jun's cheating, Li Daozong glared and said: "This matter has already been known to me, so naturally I can't just sit back and watch. Otherwise, what will your Majesty think if even a few words reach your Majesty's ears in the future? I don't know, your Majesty will think that I am happy to see it.
His joke..."
This is only a possibility, but Li Daozong cannot risk the lives of his family on whether this possibility will happen.
Fang Jun was speechless. It turns out that you are afraid that I will betray you...
Even if he signed and pledged this matter, it would be difficult to eliminate Li Daozong's suspicion, so Li Daozong refused to let him go.
Everyone has to be responsible for themselves and their family, but Li Daozong is not considered to be immoral...
Li Daozong looked at Fang Jun and was so frightened that he couldn't help but laugh: "But you don't have to be so scared. As you said, with me standing in front of you, who dares to do anything to you? You can't hide, so it's better to follow me.
Let’s meet the steward of the eldest grandson’s family together.”
What else could Fang Jun say?
He had no choice but to follow Li Daozong obediently, making up his mind that no matter what he heard later, it would be rotten in his stomach...
*****
Zuowei Camp.
In the military tent, a candle flame flickered, emitting an orange-red halo, and also emitting curls of green smoke.
Nowadays, there are many high-quality smokeless candles on the market. It’s not that Hou Junji finds them too expensive. He just doesn’t want to buy anything produced by Fang’s workshop. Why should he give money to Fang Jun’s stick?
Therefore, he would rather be smoked...
Hou Junji wiped the Heng Dao with a piece of deerskin until it shined brightly. He crossed the blade and glanced at the reflection of the blade's spine under the candlelight, looking at the blade as thin as a cicada's wings. This Heng Dao had been with him for many years, but it still remained the same.
It was as smooth as a mirror, with not even a chip on the blade. It had obviously not drank blood for many years, and the owner of the Hengdao had not personally been in a battle formation to charge and kill the enemy for many years.
Li Yuanchang sat aside and glanced at Hou Junji, his eyes full of contempt.
It is normal for His Highness the King of Han, who is versatile in both civil and military affairs, to look down on Hou Junji, who was born in the business world. Compared with His Highness the romantic King of Han, Hou Junji is inevitably too market-oriented and vulgar. What’s so good about a knife?
Your broken sword is worse than rubbish compared to the Hundred Refined Hengdao produced by the Fang family's blacksmith shop...
However, at this critical moment, you must not offend this ruthless man.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanchang asked: "Has General Hou made proper arrangements?"
General Hou snorted and said proudly: "The entire Zuowei camp is made up of a certain person. As long as a certain order is given, they will go through fire and water without hesitation. There will never be a single person who takes a step back! On the other hand, I am the commander-in-chief of the eldest son's consort.
I am very worried. The Shenji Camp was founded by Fang Jun alone, and there are many old subordinates of Fang Jun in the deployment. Moreover, many of them are children of noble families. Can they follow the eldest grandson's consort and charge forward bravely?"
A few days ago, there was a conflict between Changsun Chong and Fang Jun. As a result, Fang Jun was among the hundreds of people in the Shenji Battalion, and he captured Changsun Chong like he was searching for something. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion just looked at it and let themselves go.
The Lord will be humiliated by others.
This matter has long become a laughing stock in Chang'an City. How could Hou Junji not express doubts about Chang Sun Chong's ability to lead troops?
