Chapter 26: Just a Despicable Villain

When will spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do we know about the past?

There was an east wind in the small building last night, and it was hard to look back at my hometown in the bright moonlight.

The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed.

How much sorrow can you have? It's like a river of autumn water flowing eastward.

"It's a good question to ask you how much sorrow you can have. It's like a river of autumn water flowing eastward!" A voice came from the gate.

Su Ren held a tea bowl in one hand and looked up at the moon in the sky. In the dark night, he stood alone in the courtyard of Lao Junguan and suffered from hysteria. This was not the first time. At the beginning, everyone thought that Su Ren

Sick. Leng Jun pressed Su Ren on the table, felt for his pulse, and touched Su Ren's forehead a few times, thinking that he was not sick. As time went by, no one could understand Su Ren except the occasional sentence or two.

Apart from that, everything else, such as eating and sleeping, was normal. Everyone got used to it and didn't care much about it.

Only Leng Yue would lie at the door while Su Ren was reciting poems, and look at Su Ren with a springy look on her face, just pretending that this was a talented scholar from Shu County who was bored. But it looked very bluffing, and she didn't think so.

Prince Charming is very similar.

Hearing the movement at the door, Su Ren quickly turned his head, and Lao Jun noticed that there were two people, an old man and a young man, standing at the door. The young man had an angry look on his face, pressed one hand on Huo Laosi's chest, and pressed Huo Laosi against the door.

On the top, Huo Laosi's huge body kept twisting, but he couldn't get rid of it. The other one grabbed Hawking's spear, and the two were competing. Beside the young man, an old man shook his head, stroking his beard with one hand and feeling the beauty of this poem.

.

The poppy that Su Ren read was copied from the later master Li Yu. It originally contained the words "古国" and "春水". If you pronounce "古国" out, it would be suspected of treason. Changing "spring water" to "autumn water" was purely for the occasion. Su Ren didn't

I know that this word originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, no one knew what it was. It was just a word that I suddenly remembered and recited as entertainment at night without sleeping.

"Stop!" Su Ren shouted, hating that someone would interrupt him while he was reciting poetry.

In Wenshui County, I dare not say that in other places. As for Lao Junguan, who dares not to buy Su Ren's face in this three-acre land? Even the county magistrate Changshi and the county lieutenant Hou Jian would have smiles on their faces when they came. Unexpectedly

How dare these two people knock on the door? How can we tolerate it?

Hearing Su Ren's shout, Leng Jun also rushed out. When he saw someone committing murder at the door, he immediately lost his temper. He rushed out with a lunge and slapped the young man on the back. Seeing Leng Jun's menacing approach, the young man dropped Huo Laosi, and the two

As soon as his palms touched, Su Ren's body stagnated and he took two steps back. The young man didn't fare well either, and almost fell down when his body tilted. Huo Laosi took the opportunity to sneak behind Leng Jun, and stared at the young man with Huo Jin and his son.

juvenile.

"If you have some skills, do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?" The young man rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Leng Jun snorted: "Okay! Am I still afraid of you?"

The old man coughed and cupped his hands to Su Ren and said: "Su Xianzuo's sentence asking you how sad you can be is just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. It can be said to express all the sorrows in the world. Although the rhythm is a bit strange, it is still a good poem.

"

No matter what dynasty, old people are respected, especially this old-looking one. Who knows who is standing behind him. Maybe the emperor will pay three points of respect when he sees such an old man. What's more, this old man has a compassionate look on his face.

With his wispy beard and rosy complexion, one could tell that he was definitely not a mortal. Su Ren felt that he had better check the situation first. If he was not a good bird, it would not be too late for Leng Jun to take action.

Su Ren touched his nose to cover up the embarrassment of stealing the poem, and said with his hands: "Old sir, you are so complimentary. I wonder who you are?"

"Who is this……"

Before Laifu could finish his words, he was stopped by the old man: "I was passing by Wenshui and heard rumors from the people that this old man has great talent, so I came up to take a look. Who would have thought that I would hear such a wise saying as soon as I entered the door? It's not in vain."

OK."

The more the old man talked, the more Su Ren felt embarrassed. I used to read a lot of online novels, and there were many successful people who relied on copying poems. Now that I have traveled through time, I have already decided not to rely on copying poems.

Making a fortune just for the sake of appearance. Unexpectedly, he was still regarded as a literary thief. But this literary thief is not bad, at least the flattery sounds good to his heart.

Su Ren handed over his hand again: "The old gentleman is too flattering to a villain. Looking at the old gentleman with gray hair and a childish face, he must be a top scholar. In front of the gentleman, the boy is doing his best, which makes the gentleman laugh. Now that it is getting late, the old gentleman has come here. I don't know if I have anything to teach you."

, the boy must be all ears."

He made an invitation gesture and ordered Huo Laosi and Huo Jin to move another chair. He also asked Huo Zhilan to serve tea and invited the old man to take a seat. The two sat across from each other in the yard. The cold ones gathered next to Su Ren. Huo Jin

He still held the spear in his hand.

After taking a sip of Su Ren's secret scented tea, it tasted much better than the bitter tea outside. The old man praised it endlessly: "It's very good. Compared with that big bowl of tea, this tea grass soup has a bit more fragrance and less bitterness."

, it is indeed not vulgar.”

Then he looked at the Taishi chair under his buttocks, nodded and said: "This is also a good piece of furniture, much more comfortable than kneeling on it. The title of worldly master is placed on Su Xian Cheng, and he lives up to his reputation."

Two more words of flattery. Su Ren immediately raised his vigilance. He knew very well that showing courtesy for nothing was either a traitor or a thief. When he spoke again, he became a little more vigilant.

Su Rendao: "Since the old gentleman came in, he first gave us a slap in the face, and kept saying these compliments. We didn't even know what the gentleman wanted to do, and we were really scared! If you have something to say, sir, can you speak up?

Can you two not go around in circles?"

The old man chuckled, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip: "It's the old man Meng Lang. His surname is Dang and his courtesy name is Zhongweng. I heard in Shu that warm water bag salt is purer than high-grade official salt, but the price is the same as coarse salt."

, This is a good deed that benefits the people of the world. After asking around, I found out that it was made by Mr. Zuo Su of Wenshui County. I came here to learn from him and asked Mr. Su to teach me."

Leng Jun snorted coldly: "What's the difference between stealing people's skills and seeking money and killing people? The old gentleman is old, doesn't he understand this?"

Laifu said angrily: "What does my husband talking to Su County Cheng have to do with you servants? If you dare to say anything again, believe it or not, I will beat you up."

"Come on! Let's see who beats whom?"

Wen Dang snorted coldly: "Don't say anything more in Laifu. What this Taoist priest said is right."

Su Ren was a little helpless and quickly grabbed Leng Jun and saluted Wen Dang: "My brother doesn't understand the rules. I hope you can forgive me. Since you want to learn skills, it's not impossible, but I don't know what official position you have in Shu County?"

Su Ren had long seen that this old man must have a good background. Su Ren was not very familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty. He had never heard of people called Wen Dang. I only heard about it when I was in school in Chengdu, and it sounded like the Han Dynasty.

There is a governor of Shu County named Weng Weng. I don’t know if he was an official during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. That’s why I asked this question.

"What? Su Xian Cheng's craftsmanship is only passed down to officials, not to the common people?"

Su Rendao: "Sir, please forgive me, this salt and iron business is managed by the imperial court. The northern part of Shu County has more abundant brine than the southern part. Even without this method of making salt, private salt production in Shu County is still very rampant. If there are lawless people, they will

If I want to learn the art of making salt, I will manufacture illegal salt in Shu County, breaking the court laws and regulations, disrupting the market, posing a threat to Shu County's finances and taxation, and then affecting the court's taxation and destroying the outline of the Han Dynasty. I, Su, can't succeed.

Kill sinners throughout the ages.”

The more the literary party listened, the more frightened he became. How could he, a civil servant, know the secrets of this business? He took a deep breath and said, "County Su has extraordinary knowledge. It seems that he is still an old man who has not thought well and has learned a lesson."

Su Ren waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir, don't be like this. If you are an official in Shu County, then this skill will be passed on. The salt from Shu County supplies half of the population of our Han Dynasty. It is also necessary to provide refined salt for our Han people."

Secondly, salt and iron are the lifeblood of the imperial court and are related to the imperial taxation, so they should be taught. Therefore, if you have this question, please tell me the truth."

Laifu snorted coldly: "My husband is the governor of Shu County, can you rest assured now?"

Leng Jun rolled his eyes: "Am I still the prime minister? Who wouldn't dare to speak big words with empty teeth?"

"You!" Laifu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He took out the large seal of the prefect from somewhere behind his back and flashed it in front of several people: "Look, this is a golden seal. You should believe it now, right? A group of people who don't know the heights of the world.

Guys, if you speak rudely in front of the prefect, believe it or not, I will kill you all."

"Laifu, don't talk nonsense!"

Su Ren stood up quickly and prostrated himself on the ground: "The prefect is here, but I'm not far away from you. Please forgive me for any offense I just said."

Wen Dang quickly helped Su Ren up and said, "You are so polite, Mr. Su. My follower has always been outspoken. At such a young age, the county minister can think of the country and the people. I admire him. Besides, I am the governor of Shu County, let alone the official."

How can the Prime Minister of the Chao Dynasty kill people indiscriminately if he has nothing to do with Su Xianzuo?"

Su Ren stood up, bowed deeply, looked up at Wen Dang, and asked the question in his heart: "The prefect is the prefect of Shu County, and his surname is Wen. Could he be Wen Weng, the prefect?"

"Haha!" Wen Dang laughed: "Didn't I tell you, my surname is Wen and Dang's courtesy name is Zhong Weng, and Su County's assistant can also be called Wen Weng."

"Ah!" Su Ren swallowed hard. Although this literary man did not leave many traces in history, he is still a person who has been in the history books. I have been in China for five thousand years. How many people have there been?

Those whose names are left in the history books are either people who will be remembered forever, or people who will be infamy for thousands of years. How could Su Ren not be surprised by such a historical figure sitting in front of him.

Wen Dang called out to Su Ren and Su Ren, and only then did Su Ren react and bow down again. This time, he was absolutely frightened and had no other thoughts at all. It was purely admiration and admiration. But Su Ren's actions were stern and cold.

There was something completely wrong in his eyes. The last time it was Su Ren, the general manager, he fell to the ground. This time it was the literary party. Leng Jun felt that this Su Ren was a despicable villain. Whenever he met a high official, he would just say, "Bye!"
