Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Seven

A magnificent carriage was parked in front of the grand main gate of the majestic mansion of Mr. Tai in Wuchang Prefecture. The guards guarding the gate saw that they were very impressive, and they didn't dare to neglect them, so they hurriedly greeted them. Fan Liangji, who was driving, took off his hat, jumped off the driver's seat, rolled his eyes, and said in a very airy manner: "Who is the person in charge of guarding the door, tell him to come see me!" The guards saw that although he was inconspicuous, he looked arrogant, and the carriage he drove was very gorgeous.Hold back your breath and drink: "Who is here?"

Fan Liangji knew that the other party was timid after seeing their battle, and he would not let others gain power, so he said in an official tone: "We are invited by the Emperor of Heaven to come to China from Goguryeo all the way to represent the special envoy of the King of Goguryeo. If you wait Hurry up and spread the word, and the lord of your mansion will blame you, I'm afraid you can't afford it." This group of guards had never heard of the name of Goguryeo, but they were very sensitive to the word "Da Tianzi". Han Bai, who was sitting in the car, was terrified when he heard this, thinking that this dead old ghost really came for real, now he is in a dilemma, what should he do?

Sitting next to him, Rou Rou looked through the window at Fan Liangji pretending to be a ghost outside and smiled, "Do you think Big Brother Fan looks like an actor on stage?" Han Bai smiled bitterly and said, "None of us are like opera actors... Hey! Why aren't you afraid?" Rourou smiled sweetly at him and said, "Are you afraid of someone? Brother Fan is the best way, not to mention you are protecting me!" Han Bai thought for a while, and there was indeed nothing terrible. Even if someone exposed him, at worst, he would fight out of the palace with Fan Liangji. Thinking of this, although his chest still couldn't stand up completely, his courage grew a lot.

Rou Rou whispered: "Someone is coming!" Han Bai looked out, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen yamen servants, hugging a man who looked like a master in official uniform, coming out of the mansion from the side door. Fan Liang greeted him very old-fashionedly, and laughed loudly: "What is the position of this official, and what is his name?" The official's face darkened, obviously putting on an official tone.He said coldly: "Where is the special envoy of Goguryeo?" His eyes fell on the carriage. How could the old fox Fan Liangji fail to see his intentions, and said in a low voice: "Our special envoy Piao Wenzheng is highly respected in Goguryeo and has a great airs. Fortunately, he likes to make friends the most. Look!" He took out a half-foot square from his bosom. When the small basin was opened, it turned out to be a green jade horse without any impurities, extremely exquisite.

The official was a man of knowledge, and he was stunned when he saw it, and his saliva almost dripped out. Han Bai in the car snorted and said, "If Xiao Pi knows that the person in front of him is the thief ancestor, what kind of expression will he have?" Rourou whispered in his ear: "Brother Fan went to collect these stolen goods yesterday." Fan Liangji outside the car said: "Because our special envoy loves to make friends the most, so he has prepared countless gifts. The so-called courtesy first, then... Alas! Last... Then make friends. This jade horse carefully carved by our country's craftsmen is Our greeting gift to Your Excellency, that’s it! How should I address you, Your Excellency?”

The official hurriedly responded: "Xiao Pi is Fang Yuan, the clerk and counselor of Mr. Taifu, this gift... this gift..." Looking at the servants on both sides who did not have a pair of eyes that were not shining, he secretly hated Fan Liang Ji why didn't he find a place where no one was around to give him this big gift, because if he was sued by these yamen servants who didn't get a share of the pie, he might be overwhelmed and walk around. Fan Liangji closed the box and stuffed it into his hand.He took out a bag of Laixi from his bosom and opened it to find more than a dozen heavy golden balls. He smiled and said, "The more friends our special envoy can make, the better. These golden balls are given to all the yamen servants." All right."

The yamen servants standing by the square garden were full of energy. Without waiting for orders, they took the gift and gave other yamen servants a wink. All the yamen servants quickly opened the middle door to welcome these distinguished guests who did not know where they came from. The counselor is not without doubts, but what he is holding is a gift that will never be handed back to the other party. I thought that I was only in charge of communicating, and at most I could say a few good words. It is up to the master of Futai to decide whether to see you or not. , raised his voice and said: "Goguryeo envoy, please enter the mansion, and the next official will immediately notify the mansion Tailan."

Fan Liangji turned around and jumped into the seat of the imperial guard, and drove straight into the palace.Of the four horses pulling the cart, one was naturally Han Bai's favorite horse, Hui'er. When they arrived at the courtyard in front of the mansion, all the servants warmly greeted Fan Liangji, the God of Wealth, to stop the carriage.Na Fangyuan said: "This... this..." Fan Liangji said: "My name is Pu Qing, and I am the chief guard of Pu's special envoy. Don't look at me as short and thin, even a dozen strong men can't move me." Fang Yuan thought to himself, looking at your appearance, it would be amazing to be able to receive a punch, but with someone else's gift in his hand, how could he not believe what the other party said, and said solemnly: "Prince Guard Park, there are so many people in your entire envoy group. Is it?" He had to ask these questions clearly, otherwise, when the master of Futai asked, how would he answer?

Fan Liangji looked up to the sky and sighed: "Counselor Fang doesn't know anything. We just left Goguryeo when we were attacked by horse thieves at Tarumwei. Alas! That scene was really terrifying. Thousands of horse thieves rushed from all directions. We The warriors fell one by one, I think the situation is not right. Protecting the treasures given to Da Tianzi, and the gifts used to make friends, he escaped from the siege, and the envoy Park was also separated, lost each other, and searched for three months. I just found him around here, but his head was shaken and he can't remember many things."

Fang Yuan asked curiously: "Aren't you in charge of the special envoy? Why are so many tributes and gifts ready to go, but the person is lost?" Fan Liangji lowered his voice and said: "You don't know something. When we left Goguryeo, the emperor specially told me that if you lose a person, you can exchange it for another one. If you lose a treasure, you will never have it. You understand!" The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly, but Fang Yuan's laughter was not without a bit of hypocrisy and compassion. He pressed the jade horse in his arms to confirm its existence.

Fang Yuan asked the last question: "Is Special Envoy Park alone in the car?" Fan Liangji said: "Besides Special Envoy Park, there is also a new concubine he took in, if she hadn't saved the special envoy! Hey! You understand!" Fang Yuan couldn't stop nodding, and said, "Chief Guard Pu, why don't you ask the special envoy to get off the car and go to the living room to sit down and have a cup of hot tea, so that I can report the details to your lord." Fan Liangji frowned and said, "Diplomacy has its own diplomatic etiquette. Our special envoy's status is no small matter. When the King of Goguryeo arrives in person, Master Lan made a mistake in the etiquette to welcome the special envoy outside the gate, but why should he come here to welcome the special envoy to get off the car?" Fang Yuan's expression turned pale, and he said, "I'll discuss it with Master Futai!" Fan Liangji took out a larger square box from his bosom, and said with a smile: "Our special envoy loves to give gifts first before making friends. The counselor gave this small gift to Mr. Lan to show our sincerity in making friends." Fang Yuan secretly wondered if he had put a cornucopia in his arms, otherwise how could he have taken one treasure after another, took the box and left. Those yamen servants stood guard on all sides, needless to say, their demeanor was respectful. Fan Liangji walked to the side of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Find Zhu Yuanzhang's tortoise's imperial edict, now is the time to use it!" Han Bai scolded: "Isn't it good for people to invite you into the living room for tea? Why do you have to come out to greet him again? If you mess up the whole thing, you'd better not blame others." Fan Liangji received the imperial edict from Rourou, who opened the window and said in a surprisingly calm manner: "Boer, you don't understand how to roll around in the officialdom. The more pompous you are, the more airs you have, and the more others will treat you as a thing. I understand. Is this the truth?" Han Bai was at a loss for words, but his fear eased a little, and his brain became more active. He took advantage of Fan Liangji's gap and said, "You don't care about big and small, and you give gifts to everyone. I don't think we will become paupers before we get to the capital." .” Fan Liangji said confidently: "Pu Zhuan, please rest assured that I, Chief Bodyguard Park, will not give gifts to the wrong person, because the first step is the most important, as long as we have Lan Zhiyuan's certification documents, we can guarantee that we can go all the way to Beijing unimpeded. Needless to say, the person who carried the document was also the clerical counselor just now. Do you understand?" Han Bai was at a disadvantage everywhere, feeling like a useless fool, and said indignantly, "What's the use of giving gifts to those yamen servants?" Fan Liang said impatiently: "Because you are my immediate boss, I will make an exception to answer your stupid question. I have made good friends with this group of poor men. When I leave the city later, they will rush to escort you. I hope to earn some more money. , The more they try their best, the safer we are, does your little head understand?" Han Bai was speechless and even forgot to scratch his head. Rourou next to him smiled "puchi" and praised: "Brother is really thoughtful." Fan Liang walked away blithely, and went to talk to those yamen servants. Although Han Bai was still resentful on the surface, he really admired Fan Liangji's sophistication in his heart, and his fear was reduced by three points, and his mood improved. Only then did he realize that the soft smiling face beside him was like a flower, very attractive, thinking of He Hua Explain the scene of words and clouds spreading rain.Feeling hot in his heart, he put his arms around her fragrant shoulders, and took a sip on her smooth face. Rou Rou pinkly blushed, gave him a coquettish glance, came over with fragrant lips, and kissed him back. Han Bai's soul immediately flew up for a long time. Rou Rou stretched out her slender hand, caressed his chest, gave him a wink, and whispered softly: "Master! Someone is here." Han Bai had only tasted the sweetness of a woman last night, and felt itchy and unbearable for Rourou's style and suppleness. He hated the important task, suppressed his lust, and looked out, immediately startled. More than a dozen civil servants, Wu Bian, walked down the stone steps with dozens of yachamen leading the way, and walked towards them.My heart, which was not too scared at first, was raised to the top of my throat again. Fan Liang greeted him majestically, and saluted the senior officials in their fifties walking in the front with a song: "Pu Wenzheng, the special envoy of King Zhengde of Goguryeo, the head of the guards, Pu Qing, see Master Lanfutai." Lan Zhiyuan returned the courtesy and said: "Master Pu, please stand up. Your envoy suffered a catastrophe and lost his way. I feel very sad, but I don't know..." Fan Liangji was so clever, he heard the string song and understood the elegance, he pulled away the letter of state written by Zhu Yuanzhang to King Goguryeo in his hand, and said loudly: "Thanks to the great blessing of the heavenly court, all the tribute documents will be preserved." Lan Zhiyuan's eyes naturally fell on Zhu Yuanzhang's letter of credence to King Goguryeo. When he saw the seal of the imperial edict, Qi Qi was shocked and his face changed drastically. He knelt down and scared the surrounding officials to scramble to the ground. , In the entire open space in front of the mansion, except for Fan Liangji, who opened the book of credentials like a fool, there was no one standing upright. Lan Zhiyuan said in great panic: "Emissary Pu is here, please forgive me for the crime of not welcoming you." This change that even Fan Liangji hadn't predicted made him extremely proud, he laughed and said, "It's not a crime to be unaware, my lord and everyone please." Zhu Yuanzhang was born recklessly, he came from the class with the least respect for etiquette, won the world and became emperor, but he hated others for being disrespectful and violating etiquette, and offenders were often beheaded. Lan Zhiyuan had been an official for ten years, how could he not know the trick, and said in panic: "The guard Your Excellency, please read the imperial decree, and your subordinates will bow down and listen respectfully." Fan Liangji's smile froze, leaving only the big hole in his mouth. He turned his eyes and said, "Special Envoy Park and I were singled out to bring tribute to meet the emperor of your country. Of course they are proficient in Chinese language, but this The content of the credential involves a lot of secrets, and we should not publicize it." After speaking, he rolled up the credential and shouted: "The imperial decree has been accepted! Everyone, please stand up." Lan Zhiyuan took a sneak peek before he dared to get up, and everyone behind him stood up. Lan Zhiyuan was full of questions at first, but now he didn't even dare to ask, he was afraid that he would offend the special envoy, and if he said a few words before the emperor in the future, he might be in disaster, and at the same time, he took a pair of priceless jade bowls, The attitude is extremely cordial. Fan Liangji pulled Lan Zhiyuan aside.He said in a low voice: "This time, the special envoy brought more than a dozen Goguryeo ginseng plants that can prolong life and bring back life at the request of the emperor Guichao. If you lose it, you and I will also be beheaded. Execution by the executioner of the nationality." Lan Zhiyuan is not a corrupt or stupid official, on the contrary he is quite honest and shrewd, he thought to himself that he had heard of millennium ginseng, but he had never heard of ten thousand year ginseng, if he lost it, it would be a catastrophe, and he had no time to think about this nondescript envoy Looking at all the unreasonable things, he said, "Then what should we do now?" Fan Liangji said: "So the itinerary of the envoy's trip to Beijing must be kept completely secret, and no news can be leaked. It is best that you don't even have to get out of the car, and you go up to meet him alone, and then leave immediately." Lan Zhiyuan said decisively: "Everything is according to what the chief guard said. I will immediately write a letter and notify the government along the way to take care of it. As for the confidentiality, don't worry. I will keep all the people who know about it. In the mansion, they will not be allowed to leave until the special envoy is far away from Wuchang." Fan Liang patted Lan Zhiyuan on the shoulder with great joy, and laughed loudly: "Master Lan is really insightful." He lowered his voice and said, "Would you like to leave a plant of ten thousand-year-old ginseng for you to nourish? After our Koguryo king eats a plant, listen It is said that the three thousand beauties in the harem all felt apprehensive when they heard that he came to favor him, they were both happy and afraid." Lan Zhiyuan was taken aback. Although his heart was moved to the extreme, he dared not take the risk of beheading, so he hastily declined. Fan Liangji said: "Before departure, it is best for the lord to sort out the tribute himself, make a list, and then send the lord and the special envoy to sign separately, and send the news to the capital first, that will be more secure." As soon as Lan Zhiyuan heard it, he was determined, and even the slightest suspicion disappeared. Fan Liangji said that he was willing to let him verify his identity and check all the documents and tributes. He knew that people could be fake, but the tribute certificates could not. False, otherwise something will go wrong in the future, and the superiors will blame it, and there will be less official affairs, and it will be very bad if you send yourself to a remote place. How could Fan Liangji not know what was on his mind, and secretly thought that half of the goods were stolen goods, and the other half were real goods, which is an eye-opener for you, an official.He smiled and said, "Come on! Let us two brothers work together so that we can leave the city before noon." Lan Zhiyuan nodded quickly, but thought in his heart that this old guy is so reasonable, he wonders if the special envoy is also similar to others, if there is a plant of Wannian ginseng that is not listed on the list, can he teach those concubines in the family how Happy and afraid, thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.
