Chapter 12 Catching spies in restaurants
Where Bianjing is prosperous, near the state bridge in the central area of Bianjing, there are dozens of restaurants, large and small. Wang Bian suggested, "Brother, how about sitting in our restaurant?" The two walked into the Renhe Building hand in hand and sat down by the window. The two brothers chatted while eating. Yuan Ze asked with a smile, "Is it possible for the restaurant in the fantasy of the virtuous brother to be seriously ill?"
Wang side smiled and said, "It's the same, but there are no these singers. The prostitutes are waiting for guests in the corridor upstairs. Brother, can you tell me why this restaurant has to drink before entering the door?
Yuan Ze smiled. He covered it with his sleeve and pointed to a person who had just walked into the hall with his finger and said, "Come and see this person."
Wang looked in the direction he was pointing to, and saw a teenager coming in, wearing a square scarf and a light green robe, embroidered with silver silk thread on the dark green edges of the neckline cuffs, the same color and the same color belt around the waist, and the jade around the waist, showing a slender figure.
Seeing Xiao Er come forward to greet him, Yuan Ze said to Wang
"You see, when this person enters the door and sits down, the second child will "pick up a bottle of tea". After taking a seat, he will drink a glass of wine first and pay a few cents of money, which is called "liquor wine". Wang listened carefully
Yuan Ze continued to explain: "The name of the second end is: look at the disk"
Wang said, "That in my fantasy is called a recipe."
Yuan Ze said, "Xiao Er wrote down the dishes ordered by the guests clearly, and sang the newspaper and the kitchen. There is a "dunzel head" in the kitchen, which is recorded and cooked in turn.
"That's called a chef." Wang said with a smile
Yuan Ze continued: "Those who cook, put the dishes on the plate. If there is a mistake, you will be scolded, fined, and seriously punished. What's the name of the rookie in the fairyland?
"My fantasy sophomore and the rookie are usually one person, calling the waiter."
"Wait?" Yuan Ze laughed and said to Wang, "What the virtuous brother said is very ridiculous."
The two said that they passed by the person they were referring to, and the king saw the man clearly. Seeing this person's duck face, handsome eyes and eyebrows. The man sat down at the table next to them, drank official wine, only ordered two fine dishes, and ordered half of the soup noodles.
When Wang saw Yuan Ze looking at the teenager, he asked, "What does my brother see?"
Yuanze said, "I think he's a big deal for you and I'm not a few years old. How can he be so handsome?"
Wang side smiled and said, "Brother, do you know that this female companion is dressed in men's clothes?"
The two secretly looked at the man at the same time. Unexpectedly, the man stared at the king angrily. Yuan Zegang didn't go to see him and bowed his head to eat. Wang's side looked at the man with a generous smile. When he saw that Wang's side blushed, he simply turned his head without looking at Wang's side.
"Brother Xian, how do you know he is a woman?" Yuan Ze asked in a low voice.
"Intuition" Wang smiled cunningly, and then picked up the glass like the man just now and touched his throat knot. Yuan Ze seemed to understand, and the two looked at each other and made faces.
Zhao Zongshi was sitting in the study to meet the guests. Zhao Zongshi said, "Lord Sima will come back this time, and I should take the dust for the adult."
Sima Guang: "Your father-in-law is polite. I would also like to thank you for your kind words in front of the emperor and the queen for this reinstatement."
Zhao Zongshi said, "For the time being, I will wrong Lord Sima, and after a period of time, I will practice the living note. Every day around the emperor, I hope you will speak in front of the emperor.
"Don't worry, as a minister, you only know how to be loyal." Seeing Zhao Zongshi say so, Sima Guang secretly speculated the meaning of his words.
Zhao Zongshi said, "The former prime minister Pang Ji was transferred from the capital due to Di Qing's promotion. Lord Sima gave up his position in the capital and followed Lord Pang in the northwest for many years. When he heard that Lord Pang Ji died, Lord Sima was promoted to worship Pang's wife as his mother and treated Lord Pang's younger brother as his brother. It can be said that loyalty and righteousness are both"
"Your excellency is flattered." Sima Guang said modestly
"Di Qing relied on his achievements, and he was actually called: the majesty of the temple. It's a pity that Lord Pang and Lord Sima are so wronged. Zhao Zongshi said and looked at Sima Guang's expression.
"Di Qing has made contributions to the war for the country, but he should not be proud of his achievements." Sima Guang was also indignant that his teacher had been demoted.
Zhao Zongshi asked with a smile in his heart, "Recently, he has been very close to Lord Wang. You have been getting along with Lord Wang Anshi more recently, but I don't know if Wang Anshi is also a loyal person like Lord Sima?"
"This person is indeed a person who does things, but he is more stubborn." Sima Guang answered truthfully.
Zhao Zongshi said, "It's rare for Lord Sima to be so objective. If I have the help of Lord Sima, you can compare with Li Si and Xiao He. It won't make Di Qing so arrogant"
Sima Guang immediately understood what Zhao Anshi meant, and got up and bowed to "Uncle, with all due respect, although Di Qing is arrogant, he is the center after all, and he is a martial artist. There is no need to care about it."
Zhao Zongshi said, "It's just that I love you very much. Wouldn't it be better if I could achieve my wish as soon as possible?"
In the past, Sima Guang would thank him, but Sima Guang said indifferently: "In the prosperous times of my dynasty, the world is peaceful, and I only know the heartfelt duty. The lord let everything take its course. Now the holy dragon's body is not safe. The prince can just listen to the fate of heaven. Why should he be in a hurry for a while and make the world puzzled?
After listening to this, Zhao Zongshi was stunned and was about to say something. When he saw his family to report, a gentleman surnamed Liang asked for a meeting.
Sima Guang saw that there was a step, so he said, "Since my father-in-law has guests to visit, I'll leave first."
Watching Sima Guang turn around and leave, Zhao Zongshi was also confused. Is this the person he can use?
Liang Yi walked into the study: "Master Zhao, I brought you a handwritten letter."
Zhao Zongshi opened the letter and read it for a while, and then asked Liang Yi, "You tell Lord Muzang that as long as he is willing to assist me, he will never treat him badly in the future. In addition, how about he promised to persuade Xixia Li Yuanhao to rise up?"
Liang Yi said, "My lord, I didn't hide the Lord to say that Xixia only waited for the adult to solve Di Qing, otherwise the army would be afraid."
Zhao Zongshi asked, "Uh-huh! I'm free to arrange this. What else can I say?"
Liang Yi said again, "There is one more thing to ask for."
"Oh?"
Liang Yi continued, "I heard that my father-in-law has a treasure, and I want to appreciate it."
Zhao Zongshi said, "I don't have any treasures here. Even if I have them, I may not have the collection of the adults, but I don't know what the collector said?"
Liang Yi said, "If this happens, the treasures in the world will belong to you. My lord is talking about a sword that your father-in-law has now!"
Zhao Zongshi frowned and knew in his heart that Liang Yi wanted his sword that cut iron like mud.
He pretended to be confused and said, "There are several swords. I don't know which one the adult is talking about."
Liang Yi said, "I heard that your father-in-law has a Songwen sword. I don't want to borrow it."
Zhao Zongshi knew in his heart that he said that he wanted to borrow it, and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he laughed and said, "How can a sword be compared with the country? You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he took Liang Yi to the garden. There was a dark room in a secret door behind a rockery in the corner of the garden. Liang Yi followed him into the dark room. This place had been here before. He asked Liang Yi to wait here and walked to the back of the dark room. It turned out that there was a dark room behind the dark room. After a short time, he took out a sword and gave it to Liang Yi.
"Go back, and I will inform you when I finish solving Di Qing!"
When Liang Yi walked out of the Pu Mansion, Wang Yaochen happened to walk into the Pu Mansion. Wang Yaochen thinks this person is very familiar!
Seeing Zhao Zongshi, Wang Yaochen asked. I just saw a person in the house walk out. I don't know why, it's very familiar!"
Zhao Zongshi said, "It was this person who was deposed that day and caused the fire in the mansion."
Wang Yaochen patted his forehead: "It's this person! I heard that this man fled to Xixia? He hasn't finished yet
Zhao Zongshi's face sank: "You don't have to ask more about this matter. How's your arrangement on Di Qing's side?"
Wang Yaochen quickly said respectfully, "I have arranged it, and the date will be on the Double Ninth Festival." After saying that, he saw that Zhao Zongshi ignored him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
Liang Zuo walked out of the Pu Mansion and did not dare to stay in the city. He bowed his head and walked into the Renhe Building, found a quiet corner and sat down. He wanted to eat something and hurried on his way.
The two brothers sitting next to the king not far away are whispering, talking and laughing. The two people next to Wang were very happy. He told his brother that Lord Bao treated him very well.
The godfather next to the king didn't admit it for nothing, and he gave some money every few times. One is ten guan. At that time, 1 taels of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins. Let's put it this way, once the grain at that time was about more than 60 kilograms now, and only about 400 yuan was used.
Overnight, the king became an official and a rich man, but compared with Lord Bao Zheng, this is really a hairless. Wang Bian calculated the income of several positions on Bao Zheng's head for a year: 20,856 copper coins, 2,180 stone rice, 180 stone wheat, 10 pils, 34 pieces of silk, 2 pieces of Luo, 100 Liang Mian, 15 scales of charcoal, 240 bundles of firewood, 480 bundles of hay. As a senior local official of the vassal government, the court allocated 20 hectares of farmland, that is, 2,000 mu of arable land, to Bao Zheng, allowing him to collect rent every year without the need to pay grain. The 2,000 mu of arable land is estimated to be one stone per mu of rice, and there is also an input of 2,000 stone meters per year
First, he became the son of Wang Anshi, and then recognized Bao Zheng as his godfather. He also taught martial arts and swordsmanship by Di Qing. It seemed that all the good things fell on the king. While he was happy, the woman dressed as a man suddenly came to their table and whispered to the king, "You are very proud."
Wang was shocked and looked up at him. He smiled and said, "Do you know that the man sitting in the corner is a spy?"
Wang looked at him and said, "How do you know?"
The man simply sat down at the table of the little brothers and said, "There is a ghost in that person's heart."
Wang looked at the woman dressed as a man and said calmly, "If he has a ghost in his heart, don't you have a ghost in your heart?"
The man curled his lips contemptuously: "Well, the good idea in your heart is that you play well. What is the rich man and what is the official? Forget it, I won't ask you. Hurry up and catch this man. He is a spy of Xixia.
Wang is surprised how he knows what I'm thinking.
