After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The more Wang Anshi listened to Xie Runtian's introduction, the happier he laughed, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"The Xie family has over a thousand people, and there are 152 people who have achieved the title of Imperial Scholar." Xie Runtian said casually, "The kitchen in our house is divided into three levels. People of different levels enter through different levels of doors and eat different levels of food. My lords, please make sure you don't go the wrong way."

Wang Anshi was surprised: "What?! We have to go to the kitchen to eat by ourselves. No one will bring it to us?"

Xie Runtian...

It is only right to deliver meals to the two imperial envoys, but do we also have to deliver meals to ordinary soldiers?

There are hundreds of people. How many people are needed to deliver them?

What a shame!

"No way? Isn't the Xie family a wealthy and aristocratic family? They actually want my brothers to eat by themselves?" Wang Anshi clicked his tongue.

Xie Runtian looked at the contempt on Wang Anshi's face, veins popped out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Send it! Of course I can send it to you."

After showing off for a while, Xie Runtian said goodbye to Wang Anshi on the grounds that he was busy with official duties. In fact, he went to the master of the house to complain.

As soon as he left, the whole yard was filled with his family.

Gu Ershisan could no longer hold back and said indignantly: "What's the point of being poor? You even have to bring up a toilet!"

They said that the outhouse was purposely built in the southwest so that the wind would not make the whole yard stink.

Moreover, the southwest Kun position means land, and fertilizer accumulated in the land is regarded as a good harvest.

Wang Anshi also complained: "I think what the Xie family needs most is not to accumulate fertilizer, but to accumulate virtue."

Gu Twenty-three liked it. Sure enough, he is the best at cursing.

Wang Anshi particularly looked down on Xie Runtian. He was a narrow-minded person who wanted to dominate Yongzhou and looked down on other people.

With such a family tradition, the Xie family still has the nerve to act like a scholarly family.

The windows are designed to be half-opened like a handkerchief, which means opening a scroll. Above each window is a landscape painting of the south of the Yangtze River, with clear waters, lush forests and bamboos.

As for the scholars mentioned by Xie Runtian, Wang Anshi was even more dismissive.

When were these candidates elected?

It was during the Tatar occupation!

Isn’t it the Xie family whoever says is capable?

After Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong's identities were revealed, for three consecutive days, either officials from Yongzhou asked to see them or the Xie family hosted banquets for them, and they were not given any chance to go out alone.

According to Gu Ershisan, no matter who goes out, there will be someone watching them.

It was obvious that the Xie family intended to use the Xie family compound as a cage to put this group of people under house arrest in disguise.

"You have a big appetite and are quite courageous." Wang Anshi asked Gu Ershisan, "Can you shake off the people who are watching you?"

Gu Twenty-Three: "Of course no problem."

The reason they didn't do so was that they were afraid of causing trouble for Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.

Wang Anshi burped. The Xie family was really a bunch of jerk. They took turns to force him to drink.

Zeng Gong is still drunk and hasn't gotten up yet.

"Master Gu, after nightfall, you must go to the two mines and the cement workshop to investigate secretly without being noticed. Do not alert anyone."

"Follow the order!"

Since we want to target the Xie family, we have to prepare sufficient evidence and list enough charges so that we can kill them with one blow.

Wang Anshi believed that the crimes committed by the Xie family were definitely not limited to kidnapping!

For this crime alone, the Xie family could come up with too many excuses. For example, the other party was willing, or the Xie family was unaware of it. The worst result would be to push a marginal figure of the Xie family to take the blame.

Therefore, Wang Anshi and his team had to find more crimes and produce solid evidence.

……

While Wang Anshi was resisting his own sugar-coated bullets, Wei Xiaozhi had already boarded a ship from Hezhong County to Kyoto with the agreement.

The journey from Kyoto to Yunzhou in the north seemed so long.

Traveling south from Yunzhou to Kyoto, it seems like time flies.

"The ship has arrived! Please watch your step, gentlemen."

When Wei Xiaozhi walked down from the deck, the familiar scenery of Kyoto greeted him.

The friends who came to pick him up surrounded Wei Xiaozhi and went to Fanlou, the largest brothel.

"Xiaozhi, you've suffered a lot on this trip. We've arranged a welcoming banquet for you at Fanlou, you must come and show up."

Ever since Gu Nanxi sold the commercial street, Munir's business in the Italian-style street has gradually declined and is not as lively as before.

Originally, the Dashi Fengxing Festival could compete with Fan Lou, but now, Fan Lou has left the Dashi Fengxing Festival far behind and is now the leader.

Wei Xiaozhi lifted the curtain.

As soon as the morning light dyed the flying eaves of the tiles of Hongzhou Bridge, the shop assistants of the 72 regular stores put up green cloth signs.

On the stone steps in front of Grandma Cao's meat pie shop, the copper pot of syrup was bubbling, and the amber-colored dough wrapped in freshly roasted sesame seeds was pulled out like golden threads in the cold wind.

The Kitchen God sender in a black shirt went door to door selling distiller's lees sugar. The malt sugar blocks in the bamboo basket were printed with embossed tiger heads, which attracted children to chase him halfway down the street with copper coins in their hands.

The people of Kyoto are immersed in the festive atmosphere, and the festive atmosphere of the city is comparable to that of Yunzhou.

Wei Xiaozhi was shocked by his own thoughts. Why would he come to Kyoto to compare with Yunzhou?

One is a place where nations gather, and the other is a new border city.

There is no comparison between the two.

"Hehe, that's right, why are you still so dumbfounded? Did you realize the good of Kyoto only after going out? No matter how much Yunzhou Weekly brags, it can't cover up the facts."

Wei Xiaozhi pursed his lips and said, "The Yunzhou Weekly is not exaggerating. Yunzhou is still very good."

"We understand. We all understand. You want to facilitate peace talks between the two sides! You must remain neutral. If you are too sympathetic to the Great Zhou, Duke Yun will chop off your head, right?"

Wei Xiaozhi's eyes flickered and he felt a little weak.

He was indeed a bit biased, but he was biased towards Yunzhou.

The bell rang, and the monks of Daxiangguo Temple began to ring the auspicious bell.

Everyone came to Fanlou.

The three-story red pavilion of Fan Tower was all decorated with glazed lamps, and crab-stuffed oranges, lamb tongue skewers, and lotus duck skewers made of seventy-two silver threads were circulating in the warm pavilion.

"Tsk tsk, Fanlou has even replaced the Yunzhou colored glass lamps."

"Hey, my grandfather also bought a Yunzhou mechanical pocket watch. It's very expensive! Because of this, the New Year's money he gave to the younger generations this year was much less."

Wei Xiaozhi and his group were traveling back and forth in Fanlou.

The stick drums in the music pavilion suddenly sounded like a torrential rain, accompanied by the jugglers catching butterflies, which brought applause from the audience.

The midnight snack fruit stall in front of Caojiaxiangpu is the most popular, with honey-fried carved kumquats and gingko nuts wrapped in pine nuts stacked into a seven-story pagoda.

Someone said with regret: "What a pity. In previous years, there would be people performing gunpowder puppets in the East Corner Tower. But because of Yunzhou, gunpowder has become a contraband. Xiaozhi, is gunpowder also banned in Yunzhou?"

When the gunpowder puppet explodes, the sky is filled with flaming trees. The puppet Chang'e steps on the smoke and rises into the air. The Jade Rabbit in her hand can even pound gunpowder automatically. It is a major performance every year.

Sadly, not this year.

Wei Xiaozhi was stunned: "Yunzhou doesn't ban this. During festivals, they even set off fireworks for a long time."

"Alas, what is going on? The government doesn't allow the people to release them, and they don't allow the people to release them either."

Some gunpowder can only be used to make fireworks, but some gunpowder can be used to make cannonballs.

What’s the point of just banning without conducting research and development?
