Chapter 45: Fresh from the oven

  Chapter 45 Freshly released Shangzhu Kingdom

  Leopard head actually wants to drink and eat meat early in the morning, Qin Lang doesn't give it wine and meat, it actually refuses to take Qin Lang out.

   Facing the fresh grass, he was not interested at all. Ah Huang specially made eggs and bean cakes for it, but he didn't even sniff it.

   "Sanlang, this dead horse is getting bigger and bigger now, and it really knows how to show off. It's bigger than its mother."

Qin Lang patted Leopard's head, "It's also a hero of Jingran, get it some barbecue and some rice wine." Qin Lang quite likes such a horse with character. Anyway, yesterday Xuanwu In the chaos of the door, rushing back and forth to kill, the leopard head was very brave, and it did not fall off the chain, so it should be rewarded.

   Good wine and good meat are waiting for you to eat and drink, and the leopard head is full of energy.

   "Sanlang, hurry up and leave, the prince calls, so don't delay." Qin Yong reminded. Early in the morning, someone from the East Palace came to pass on the order of the prince, and Qin Lang was formally awarded the official duties such as the principal of the inspection, the county magistrate of An, and the leader of Qianniu Bei, the head of the north, and the door. The visitor brought the body, the bronze seal, and the official robe stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Officials.

  The prince also bestowed a set of scarlet official robes and silver fish bags and silver fish charms.

   "Sanlang really looks good in this crimson silver, handsome and handsome." Ah Huang said flatteringly.

  Qin Lang felt that this scarlet robe was a bit coquettish, but in the Tang Dynasty, only officials above the fifth rank were eligible to wear this coquettish fan.

   "When the Duke of Yi Kingdom is sealed, Saburo, you will be able to change into a purple-robed goldfish, and you will be even more handsome then."

The six brothers of the Cheng family and the three brothers of the Yuchi family who stayed at Qin Lang's place last night stood watching enviously, their eyeballs almost popping out. They used to be the children of generals who played polo and hunted together, but now Qin Lang actually wears crimson silver, and can even wear gold and purple soon, but they can only wear **** green, isn't it annoying.

"Sanlang, you are really not enough brothers. Why didn't you call the brothers together to do something before!" Chu Mo sighed. The performance varies too far.

  Qin Yong thinks that Qin Lang should wear armor today because the city of Chang'an is not stable now.

   But Qin Lang didn't like the iron armor that weighed tens of kilograms, especially the bundle of armor was very uncomfortable when he was strangled by it, let alone it was June, and wearing iron armor in this weather was really terrible.

   Still, this round-neck official robe is more comfortable, made of silk, so cool and refreshing.

"What exactly do you do walking under the door?" Qin Lang tugged on the new ten-piece gold belt belt around his waist. This is the Hermès belt in the Tang Dynasty. The belt lock is directly made of gold, which is enough There are ten pieces.

"Walking under the door is not a formal official position, it's just a temporary errand, just for the convenience of you being called in and out of the forbidden area, to serve His Highness, similar to the regular servants of the province under the door, regular servants of scattered horses will rule the mistakes and prepare for the emperor Advisors, they come out on horseback, they are high-ranking officials of the third rank, although they have no real power, they are usually given to senior and respected veterans."

   Now Qin Lang understood that walking under the door is not considered an official position, but it is just for Li Shimin to meet him.

   It was too late to eat breakfast, so he had to wrap the freshly fried scallion omelette in dried lotus leaves and take it away, riding on the head of a leopard, Qin Lang headed for Miyagi.

   At this time, the sky was bright, and the door of the workshop opened again.

  Passing through the Fangmen, he found that Wei Chang personally guarded the Fangmen with a team of unscrupulous people.

   "Sanlang." Wei Chang saluted.

   Seeing his red eyes, "Are you still awake?"

   "In the first half of the night, I inspected the workshops, and in the second half of the night, I stayed here for a while. It's okay."

   "Your body is important. It's already dawn, so you should hurry up and go back to sleep. You've worked hard these days!"

   While speaking, Qin Lang saw dozens of people in shackles by the gate of the workshop, each of them looked bruised and swollen.

"these people?"

"They are all idiots who violated the curfew. They don't know how to live or die and want to take advantage of the chaos to rob. They were caught during the night patrol and were beaten with 20 sticks. They will be sent to the county jail. When the interrogation is clear, they should be flogged." The cane, the disciple!" Wei Chang said indifferently.

  A young man with many big footprints printed on his white gown stood up, "I didn't take advantage of the chaos to rob, I just drank two more drinks and passed by."

  Qin Lang saw that he was indeed different from those around him, "Oh, you are a scholar?"

   "Qing He Ma Zhou, study in Chang'an." The young man wanted to cross his hands to salute, but the shackles clanged and he almost fell.

  Qin Lang was a little surprised when he heard this name.

  Hema Zhou in the Qing Dynasty, could it be Ma Zhou, Prime Minister of Zhenguan?

   Originally, he just asked casually, but now he can't help but question carefully.

"It seems that this is just a misunderstanding, but you violated the curfew after being drunk, but luckily you were only caught by bad people. If you committed the crime last night in the hands of Marquis Wu patrol riders, you will end up in a worse situation now, especially at the moment." Qin Lang said He said to Wei Chang, "This is just a scholar, let him go, there is no need to take him back to prison."

   Ma Zhou was unshackled and was very grateful to Qin Lang.

   "Mr. Ma is now traveling to Chang'an to study? Where will he settle down? What are his plans?"

Ma Zhou kneaded his wrist that had been shackled all night. He was originally from Qinghe. He was an orphan when he was young, and his family was poor. Village respect. At the beginning of Wu Dechu, he was a teaching assistant in Bozhou, and he was considered a petty official. He thought his position was lowly, so he drank all day and refused to teach. The county magistrate insulted him, so he traveled westward to Chang'an in anger.

  When I came to Chang'an, I thought that with my talent, I could be appreciated in Chang'an and I could show my strengths. Unexpectedly, after coming to Chang'an, no one appreciated his self-recommendation everywhere, and finally he was exhausted, and owed a lot of room money and wine money to the hotel, and no one paid.

  Last night, I drank two buckets of wine on credit, violated the curfew and was beaten when I was drunk.

   Now when asked what his plans are, he is really at a loss.

   "If Mr. Ma has no other plans for the time being, why don't you feel wronged and come to my house as a guest, and help me deal with the following documents and account books, how about?"

   Ma Zhou looked at Qin Lang who was so young but covered in silver and scarlet, "I don't know your name?"

   "Qin Lang, you can also call me Saburo."

   Ah Huang said from behind, "Our Saburo is now the county magistrate of Chang'an."

   Ma Zhou looked at Qin Lang unexpectedly, unexpectedly this was the concubine Qin Qiong who had been hotly discussed recently, and unexpectedly became the county magistrate of Chang'an now.

   "Thanks to Saburo for not giving up, the students are willing to enter the government."

Qin Lang smiled slightly, never expecting to abduct a talent so easily, he asked Ah Huang to give Ma Zhou five taels of silver collar, "This is a small gift for meeting, please accept it, Mr Ma, you can handle your own affairs After dealing with the matter, it will be good to go to the Qin residence in Yong'an Square."

   Continue on the road.

   Ah Huang asked, "Why is Sanlang so polite to a down-and-out scholar whom he just met? He also gives money as soon as we meet, isn't he afraid that he will run away?"

   "In my opinion, although this person is temporarily down, but there will be a glorious time in the future, it can be regarded as a good relationship!"

  Walking on Chang'an City Central Street, I found that the street was deserted in the morning, full of bad people, military marquis and other soldiers and government servants, and even saw soldiers escorting a large number of men, women and children passing by from time to time.

  Qin Lang frowned slightly.

   "This is the Yongzhou government that is going around arresting princelings."

   "Actually, this is not necessary at all!"

   Along the way, Qin Lang and his party went smoothly, but now Qin Lang is a hero for the peace and chaos, and he is very popular.

   Not to mention that he is the chief inspector An County Magistrate, but the sign walking under the door is enough for him to enter and exit the palace easily.

  Li Shimin had already moved from the Linhu Hall to the East Palace, and the palace north of the imperial city was surrounded and 'guarded' by generals such as Hou Junji and Yu Chigong.

   Entering the East Palace, there are three steps, one post and five steps, one post, and patrol soldiers pass by from time to time.

   There is still an atmosphere of tense guard.

  The leopard that stepped down suddenly neighed, then spread its hooves and ran forward, Qin Lang was startled.

  Turning the road, a group of patrolling cavalry came in front of them, but the leader was Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao. The leopard head rushed forward, and the horse head rubbed against Qin Qiong's mount intimately.

   "This little **** still remembers that this is his mother." Qin Qiong cursed with a smile.

   "Meet Aye." Qin Lang bowed immediately.

  Father and son only saw each other for a day, but when they saw each other again, they felt a bit of a status.

  Qin Qiong is in full armor, and under the saddle is a golden tile-faced mace, and the underside of the phoenix-winged helmet is a bit haggard.

   "Hasn't Aye rested yet?"

"Your Highness asked me to be in charge of the guards in the palace. How dare you relax." Qin Qiong looked at the silver scarlet on his son's body, "You look good in this dress, and you look more mature. Your performance yesterday was very good, and His Highness also appreciated it very much. Hurry up Go, don't make His Highness wait for you."

   "Okay, after my son sees His Highness, I will talk to Aye again."

"You can't walk around in the palace. You can go back to Qinrenfang's house for a while. I'll be back later. Let's have a drink in the evening." Qin Qiong paused, "You might as well move back to Qinrenfang Come on, you don't have a family now, and it's not suitable to live outside, you can keep the house if you like, it's a private courtyard."

   "I'm used to living in Yong'an Square."

   "Are you worried that I won't let that woman go back with you? Since you have taken her in, she will be your concubine, and you must see your uncle."

  When Qin Lang was asked to go out, it was not really to drive him out. Now that the overall situation has been settled, Qin Qiong wanted his son to move back home again.

  Both father and son have official business, so it is inconvenient to have a long talk. After a few words, Qin Qiong continued to inspect the troops, and Qin Lang went to see Li Shimin.

  Qin Lang, who was far away, dismounted and followed the guards.

   "Saburo, you are here, come quickly."

   Li Shimin saw him, smiled and waved to him.

"Everyone, there may be many of you who don't know this young hero. I will introduce you today. This is about to be the youngest Duke of the Tang Dynasty, Shangzhu Kingdom, Qin Lang and Qin Huailiang, uncle. Bao's third son."

  East Palace, Jiade Hall, Main Hall, this is where the prince of the East Palace received courtiers.

  At this time, besides the crown prince Li Shimin, there were dozens of courtiers in the palace, all of whom were members of the original Qin Palace.

   Following the prince's words, all the people turned their gazes over to the youngest Xuanwu Sect hero.
