Chapter 197: Big red lanterns hanging high

"Why, he hasn't agreed yet?" After hearing the servant's return, Tang Cheng frowned and pondered for a while, then said resentfully, "Old guy, don't eat the toast and drink the wine!"

The place he is now in is a farm not far from the west gate outside Chang'an City. This is another business that Wei Bo inherited from his mother. Because it is close to Zhongnan Mountain, the more valuable the garden outside Chang'an City is, the more concentrated the manors purchased by the kings and princes and officials in the city are concentrated in that direction. In contrast, the north is much more pure. With Wei Bo's popularity today, if it weren't for the inheritance left by his mother, he would have sold it long ago. However, although it was not sold, because the farm was useless for many years, the result of the repair and maintenance of the farm was that it seemed very devastated overall. Especially after ghost stories and scary ghost crying were heard from this farm from time to time, the already dilapidated manor became more and more unwilling.

This Zhuangzi is the secret operation base assigned by Wei Bo to Tang Cheng. The men assigned by him to Tang Cheng were also gathered here and conducted preliminary basic training. Tang Cheng and others arrived five days ago. From that night, the Zhuangzi heard a tight ghost cry in the middle of the night. After a few days, the people around him changed their faces when they mentioned this Zhuangzi. They would rather take a long way than get close when they passed by.

Guan Qianyu was in his early thirties and had a careful and careful attitude under his ordinary appearance. He was the leader of Tang Cheng and others who were assigned by Wei Bo. Seeing that Tang Cheng was not angry, he explained in a low voice: "This old guy is smelly and hard. My subordinates originally found out that he liked to collect and play with ancient torture instruments. Special reports that the general spent a lot of torture instruments used in the Xianyang prison during the Qin Ershi. When he sent it, the old guy was obviously moved, but he was confiscated in the end. After that, he sent the house, and even his subordinates paid fifty taels of monthly salary, but he was still shaking his head."

"What did he say when you gave that torture instrument?"

"He first asked his subordinates what he wanted to ask him for. Then he asked who his subordinates' master was. Because he thought about the secret of the matter, he did not formally agree, so his subordinates answered vaguely."

"Did he return the torture instrument to you as soon as he heard this?" Seeing Guan Qianyu nodding, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Su Can himself also knows that his ability is too gloomy and he refuses you to avoid disaster."

The Su Can, the person who Tang Cheng mentioned, was a prosecutor who returned home to spend his old age after four years of work from the Ministry of Justice. He worked in the Ministry of Justice for his life but never solved serious cases, nor had he arrested serious crimes himself, and never gave a lottery in the trial of bandits. His only specialty was stealth tracking and information inquiry. When he was young, he was an indispensable helper for the chief resident when he was young. Later, when he was old, he specialized in training new toll members. At the most prominent time, he was not only the Ministry of Justice, but also the Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple, which specialized in the imperial corpses, had many students. It was only after he withdrew from the Ministry of Justice in recent years that he was gradually forgotten.

The reason why Tang Cheng tried his best to get him was his ability, stealth tracking, bribery and spy, etc. These methods of collecting information were not pure technical work, and the technical level required was not ordinary high. Although Tang Cheng had read some spy war information in later generations, he could just fool people by saying a few words. If he really wanted to train these people, he would not be involved in the door. And this is the cornerstone of the entire intelligence collection work. There are not even people working, so how can he talk about intelligence information?

Professional matters can only be left to professionals, and Su Can is the best candidate for Tang Cheng's search.

"Young Master. What should I do next?"

"What he learned is shameful skills. He still wanted to hide it, but he didn't even have any door!" The old man went there three times in a row but he still refused. It was just like this when he visited the cottage. Seeing so many people waiting for him to open, Tang Cheng was really anxious. "Since Su Can is not in the oil and salt, then start from his family, and check it out one by one, and I don't believe it. There is no difficult thing among his close relatives that he can't do?"

"Yes", Guan Qianyu agreed and was about to go to handle the matter, when Tang Cheng, who had a black face, was stopped, "Remember, he really doesn't have it. You have to find a way to help them make one."

Hearing the word, Guan Qianyu suddenly stunned and glanced at Tang Cheng's dark face, and bent down and bowed.

Watching Guan Qianyu go far away, Tang Cheng got up and walked to the window and quietly looked at the dilapidated and declining scenery outside. Su Can, I have to bring you. How clean can a person who has worked in the Ministry of Justice all his life? Now he wants to avoid disaster. Damn, is there such a good thing in the world?

After Tang Cheng was ruthless in his heart, he let out a heavy breath. The fact that the dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-

He was not looking back, but he was looking forward to the situation where the train was about to happen and the success of the successful starter was solved quickly. He didn't think about living a life where he would sleep every day and have nightmares and spend the day with his family.

Tang Cheng stretched his chest and arms out of the empty garden outside the window, stretching his muscles and bones for a while. He felt his heart bright and relaxed, and then he coughed lightly and called out: "Come here."

The person who came in was on duty was the seventeenth day. Tang Cheng didn't say anything unnecessary to him. He turned around and picked up a list from the desk and handed it over, "Don't stay in the village. Before the new command was issued, you will only stare at these mansions in groups in groups. Whoever went to see them, and everyone who went to visit them must write it down clearly. Let's continue to give the order, this is a stupid job, stay away when you keep a little eye on the ground, and you would rather miss the news than reveal it."

After listening to Tang Cheng's words for a while, after seeing that he stopped talking, he spoke up and repeated the command just now. After seeing Tang Cheng nodding, Tathagata No. 17 turned around silently as if he had been.

After doing this, Tang Cheng asked No. 2 to explain it a few times, then called Lai Fu and went straight out of the back door of the garden. Following the path in the mountains and forests outside the back door, he made a meal. Finally, the two appeared in the largest charity village outside the West City. After passing through the tombs and coming to the house of the guardian, Tang Cheng stood still. Lai Fu did not enter the house and led two horses to the house.

The horses were turned on. As the two of them knocked on the horse and waved their whips, the strong horse under their crotch neighed and ran towards Chang'an City with a long thunder.

Tang Cheng rode back and looked back at the desolate charity house. So far, he only had so many. If Su Can didn't come again, he wouldn't be able to do this job anymore.

Lai Fu rode his horse and looked up at Tang Cheng from time to time, looked down and then lowered his head. After a while, he looked up at Tang Cheng, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

He was so weird for a while. Anyone who saw him like this knew that he would have to say something, but if Lai Fu didn't speak, Tang Cheng didn't ask. On weekdays, what Tang Cheng hated the most were those who were tedious and stuttering. Even when Li Yingwan felt cold and shrunk in winter, he would be reminded by him, let alone Lai Fu.

If you have something to do, say it openly. If you don’t say it, I will never ask. I am not used to this problem.

After Tang Cheng and his two horses rode into Chang'an City, they couldn't ride the horse at all. It was almost the end of the year, and the weather was really good. It seemed that the people of Chang'an had come out and only congested Zhuque Street.

Every festival, I miss my family more! For a wanderer living outside, the lively scene in front of me is even more exciting. Although Tang Cheng did not want everyone to be separated because his family was difficult to reunite, he really didn't like to watch such a scene. After getting off the horse, he didn't want to take advantage of the fun and led the horse straight back to the small house in the city.

He handed the horse to the doorman. Seeing that Tang Cheng had already stepped into the door, Lai Fu finally couldn't help it and leaned forward and said, "I have something small to tell the big official."

"Say what you have," Tang Cheng slowed down, raised a smile on his lips and said, "You can't hold it in anymore."

"How can Xiaodi hide his thoughts from his great official?" Lai Fu smiled and turned his head to look at the left and right behind, and then whispered: "Da Guan, Xiaodi wants to join the responsibilities of Zhuangzi outside the city."

"Do you want to do this?". Hearing this, Tang Cheng suddenly stopped. He didn't expect that Lai Fu had made the idea all the way, "Do you know what they are doing?"

"I know." Seeing that Tang Cheng reacted so much, Lai Fu thought he didn't agree, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Di has been with him for a few days, and even the big officials can recite the smallest ones. Why don't you listen to it?"

Seeing that Lai Fu was about to open his back, Tang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't show it." While speaking, Tang Cheng took a step forward for a while and then suddenly turned his head and looked at his Lai Fu and asked, "Why did you think of going to do this?"

"The great official is busy these days, but the young man is incompetent and can't help much. It's really uncomfortable to be idle every day. Another thing is that the young man thinks the errands in the village outside the city are quite interesting, and they are suitable for the younger man, so they are excited to think about it."

Tang Cheng was speechless when he heard Lai Fu's words. Before leaving the village, he complained that the errand was not done by humans. In a blink of an eye, someone rushed to do it. I really don't know what to say.

"Let me think about it again." After saying this, Tang Cheng went to the second yard without saying anything.

After returning to the second yard to wash, when the girl brought food, Tang Chengru heard a burst of rapid footsteps, and then Fu walked in quickly, "The great official, Miss Qizhi is here."

When Tang Cheng walked to the second entrance, he saw Qizhi, wearing a 70% gold-spread skirt, standing outside the yard with a smile, looking at him with a playful expression. She was so beautiful in the rare winter weather in Chang'an.

In addition to the close-fitting girl standing behind her, there were six or seven shop-made people not far away, and there were more or less things in front of each of them.

After spending so long in Yazheng Garden, especially after passing by the viewing pavilion, the two got along very well. "Why are you here?" Tang Cheng walked over and took the wind flask in the girl's hand and naturally put it on Qihei. "There is no careless in the 39th day, it seems that it is the New Year. If you suffer from the cold, just wait to cry."

"Look at how good the sun is today," said Qizhi's mouth, but his body was still moving, Ren Tangcheng helped him put on a whirlwind. This scene only made her close maid complain. She refused to listen to her advice just now, but why did she become a little sheep now? The girl is so bullying.

When Tang Cheng helped her wear a blouse, Qi Zhi's smile became even stronger, but he said with a smile on his lips: "You know that the New Year is coming soon? The whole city of the house is not a paper-cutting lantern hanging, and then look at what is deserted here."

"I live alone in the capital, and I have the intention of celebrating the New Year there." Tang Cheng looked up at the yard and said indifferently: "It's good to eat when there are few people, but it's good to have a New Year, and it's not worth it if you're alone."

"Who said you were the only one?" Qizhi smiled and turned his head and said, "The goods have been delivered to the field. Xiaoqing, go and ask them to leave."

After giving the orders, he looked at the things placed in front of the guys with satisfaction, Qizhi turned around and said, "I have been shopping in the two cities for a morning and my legs are sore. Master Tang, if the guests come, you should invite her in and take a rest and have a cup of tea."

Sitting in the main room of the second courtyard, Tang Cheng ordered the girl to have tea and asked with a smile: "Although I haven't been to Yazheng Garden recently, I have heard the travelers say on the way that the business in the garden is very booming several times. Why do you, the courtesan, have time to come to me?"

"What's wrong with the courtesan? The courtesan has to celebrate the New Year," as soon as he finished speaking, he smiled at the courtesan, who was the unswerving person and said, "Daigua, don't look at what day it is today. How many people have you come to visit the garden on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month? You have to wait for the people after the New Year to come again."

The Japanese monster, the entertainment venues in cities in later generations became more lively as the New Year Festival became, so why did the Tang Dynasty rebellion?

Seeing Tang Cheng's face with confusion, Qizhi giggled and put down the teacup he had just received and stood up. He put his sleeves on his arms seriously and said to the close-fitting girl with a gaze: "Qing'er, go and set up the yard. It's 26 and it's still deserted. How can I celebrate the New Year here?"

"You mean...", what's surprising today is really one after another, "Want to celebrate the New Year here?"

"Ah," Qiori waved her hand for granted, "There is no day before the New Year, you should be busy with your work. Just leave this to me." After saying that, before Tang Cheng could say anything, Qiori was in a good mood and took Xiaoqing out of the main room with confidence.

Until Qizhi walked out of the second entrance gate, Tang Chengdu was still a little unable to react. What was going on?

"Young Master, is this the wife?" Xiaoyu, one of the two girls, was asked in a low voice.

As soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, Tang Cheng had not said anything, another girl next to him was already exclaiming: "Madam is so beautiful. I look at Miss Panpan in Furong Tower, and I can't even compare to her!"

"Your wife is in Jinzhou, Dongdae, Shandong Province." Tang Cheng replied unhappily, got up and left the main house and followed him in the direction where Qizhi had just walked.

Outside the second yard, Qiori was fiddling with the festive objects he bought from the two cities in the morning with joy. Without saying three words, she had already summoned all the rough maids and servants to her side.

After Tang Cheng came out, he pulled Qizhi aside, "Which one did you come here? Tell me the truth, who asked you to come?"

"If it's the statement on the surface, it's what Zhang Mingzhi asked me to come. But it's really my own thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't count." Qizhi was in a very good mood today. Even though Tang Cheng's tone of questioning just now was not very good, she was not annoyed, and just stared at Tang Cheng with bright eyes, "Why, isn't you welcome?"

After looking at Qizhi with bright eyes, and then looking at the servants who were surrounded by a bunch of objects and were full of joy and joy, Tang Cheng pondered for a while, then turned around and waved his hand and said, "Let's do whatever you want."
