Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Seeing that Su Dingfang seemed to be thinking about himself, Guo Ye replied with some curled lips: "Isn't the Salt Gang selling private salt? These people selling private salt are no different from competing for profits with the Yangzhou Salt Transport Yamen. Hehe, I heard that It's the gang that the Zhang family in Yangzhou most wants to get rid of. Eh? Brother Su, why are you bringing this up for no reason? Could it be..."

Su Dingfang interrupted his guess at the right time, nodded and said, "I think you guessed it right again!"

humming~

Guo Ye's heart sank suddenly, and he asked with a strange expression: "So, your friend is not in the officialdom, but in the Jianghu? Sigh... the way is quite wild, haha..."

Chapter 735 This Person Is A Double-Edged Sword

When Su Dingfang heard Guo Ye's evaluation of Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, he couldn't help laughing and said, "He used to be a thorn in the army. Some people said he had no military discipline, and some said he was extravagant and unrestrained. How dare you say that Is he Lu Ziye? Haha, this is the first time I have heard of it. But I don’t know if Lu Ziye is wild or not, but Brother Chen Lang is definitely full of wildness and arrogance to the limit. Otherwise, he would not have been kicked out back then After leaving the barracks, he drifted into the rivers and lakes and became a reckless person."

Guo Ye immediately understood, dare this person is still a barracks assassin, a restless master?

Grandma, if this kind of person is appointed as the captain of Yangzhou Zhechong, will it work?Maybe what kind of moths will be caused by then, what disasters will be caused, and you have to follow behind to wipe your ass, right?

However, I have no foundation in Yangzhou, and I am not familiar with the place, so I need this kind of local power to help me out and take care of the place for me.

What's even more rare is that Chen Langtian, as the leader of the Salt Gang, has been selling private salt and has an irresolvable conflict with the Yangzhou Salt Transport Yamen, and he is a thorn in the flesh of the Zhang family in Yangzhou.

If this kind of person is willing to use it for himself, he doesn't have to worry about whether he will be secretly bought by the Zhang family and turn against him.

In the final analysis, Chen Lang is a double-edged sword. He can hurt others if he handles it well, but he can hurt himself if he doesn't pay attention.

Seeing Guo Ye's refusal to make a statement, Su Dingfang couldn't help teasing: "Are you worried that you won't be able to surrender to such unruly and unruly people like Chen Lang, and will cause trouble for you, and you will be unable to deal with it in the end?"

Guo Ye did not hide anything, nodded and said truthfully: "No, after all, such a person is not easy to control, and he is also the leader of the Salt Gang. He is used to domineering and domineering, so he is afraid..."

"Haha, you think too much!"

Su Dingfang shook his head and reminded: "Let me give you a trick. Although Chen Lang is a bit of a wave as his name suggests, he has a lot of loyalty in the world, and these years, the Yan Gang has been affected by the Yangzhou Zhang family and the Yangzhou family. Suppression from various official circles made life difficult. At that time, as long as you prescribe the right medicine, I think Chen Lang will work hard for you. Plus I will write a letter for you to him, so I don't think there will be a big problem. "

Guo Ye asked: "Prescribe the right medicine? What do you mean?"

After hearing this, Su Dingfang pretended to be angry, opened his eyes wide and said, "Do you want me to be more transparent? You, Chen Lang, the Yan Gang, and the Zhang family in Yangzhou, as long as you handle certain relationships well, you can fight against the enemy. To vent out his grievances for him, to avenge his shame...well, don't you understand?"

"Ah? I understand now!"

Guo Ye immediately nodded like a chicken chopping rice, and suddenly realized: "Thank you, Brother Su, for your guidance, hehe, I understand, I understand."

Su Dingfang snorted, and said, "I'll edit a book for you later, and send it to your house before you go to Yangzhou. I can only help you here, and the rest of Yangzhou is up to you."

Guo Ye was very grateful and said: "Brother Su has helped me enough, I can't thank you enough."

"Okay, mother-in-law is like an old woman." Su Dingfang waved his hand briskly, picked up the wine cup and said, "If you really appreciate me, you can drink this wine with me, and I will be at the same table with you next time Drinking, I don’t even know about the year of the monkey. Come on, do it!”

Guo Ye immediately grabbed the wine cup, touched him, and said, "If there is a chance, we will have more opportunities to drink in the future. Come, Brother Su, I respect you!"

"Come on, do it, have a drink today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

"Dry!"

……

……

The two of them gave up the wine glasses and directly used the wine cup, drank heartily and gradually became better.

After a while, there were piles of large and small wine jars and wine cups under the table on the ground, which was in a mess.

dong dong dong~

There was a sound of hasty footsteps, and one person ran up to the two of them and shouted at Su Dingfang: "General Su, I have found you. General Yin summoned you back to the Yamen for discussion."

The person who came was none other than Lieutenant Qu Fat Zhiqu who had chatted with Guo Ye before.

This fellow had an anxious expression on his face, and was dripping with sweat, obviously he had gone a lot of wrong ways.

Hearing this, Su Dingfang threw the wine cup in his hand on the table with some displeasure, and cursed: "Grandma, even a drink won't make me so unhappy, Yin Tianzong is really annoying , very noisy."

As he said that, the two-meter tall man suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and cupped his fists at Guo Ye and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, brother has to go back to the Yamen first, otherwise Yin Tianzong will grab my braid and take the opportunity to make trouble."

Guo Ye also got up and replied: "Brother Su, let's go back first, it's important to be serious. There are many opportunities for you and my brother to have a good drink."

After finishing speaking, he accompanied Su Dingfang to the stairs, and watched him and Qu Fatzhi go downstairs together.

As soon as the two left, Liu Zhenxuan walked up the stairs, with a radiant expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, guess who I saw at the entrance of the restaurant just now?"

Dongshi is a crowded place, there is a constant stream of people coming and going, even meeting an acquaintance is not new.

But seeing Liu Zhenxuan's strange appearance, Guo Ye asked with great interest: "Your kid has been out of the country and seen people from different places and worlds, what kind of person did you see that surprised you so much?" first?"

Liu Zhenxuan smirked twice, still poised his head in a wretched and mean look, and said, "Guess who I saw? I actually saw Du He leading the Prince's Mansion's six personal soldiers to swagger through the market, if I guessed right , sitting in that bright yellow sedan chair must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Guo Ye heard this, he couldn't help spitting: "Cut, isn't it just the prince who is on tour? As for the little village girl who first came into the city, you were shocked like a bumpkin?"

In Chang'an City, it is nothing new for the prince to go on tour.

But Liu Zhenxuan kept shaking his head and said: "No, no, I have not only seen His Highness the Crown Prince, but also the guard of honor of His Highness the King of Wei. This is not the only thing. Behind him is a group of people, including the elder grandson. Sun Chong, the eldest son of Fang Xuanling's family, and Fang Yizhi, the eldest son of Fang Xuanling's family, and it seems that there are several princesses in the car. Lord Hou, this kind of battle where the nobles gather in the sky, followed by the heirs of the powerful and powerful I have been in Chang'an for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen it!"

"I'm stupid! Such a big movement??"

Now, Guo Ye couldn't calm down any longer, and asked anxiously, "What are they doing? Where are they going?"

Liu Zhenxuan shook his head regretfully and said: "The humble officer didn't dare to leave his post without permission, so he didn't follow the brigade, and he didn't know what they were going to do. However, the humble officer seemed to vaguely hear someone saying that a senior monk came from the Da Ci'en Temple. These princes and princesses, as well as the princes and ladies of the princes and ministers, don’t they go to listen to the monk’s chanting? No, it should be to listen to the eminent monk’s promotion of Buddhism, right?”

Da Ci'en Temple?

It's His Royal Highness, the prince and princess, and a group of officials and eunuchs who actually went to listen to monks chanting scriptures?

Is this too bullshit?

Guo Ye would rather believe that this group of people went hunting in the countryside than that they would go to listen to something to promote Buddhism.

Immediately, he became very interested in it, and thought, it's boring anyway, so it's good to see what happened.

So he greeted Liu Zhenxuan and said, "Let's go, let's join in the fun too. Do you know where the Daci'en Temple is?"

Liu Zhenxuan groaned, and said, "The humble job knows how to get there."

After finishing speaking, he led Guo Ye downstairs in a hurry.

Guo Ye walked to the counter, took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve pocket, threw it directly on the table, and shouted: "The shopkeeper, pay the bill, leave!"

Soon, the two left the Orchid Winery, Guo Ye got into the carriage, and Liu Zhenxuan raised the whip in his hand and drove towards the Da Ci'en Temple.
