Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9666 Confidential
Yizhou.

Luo Fengtang stood up and paced around the room.

"Zhang Tianyi sent someone to contact you, the middleman is Gu Fengshang..."

"It's no wonder that the Rongshan bandits are not afraid of the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers."

Luo Fengtang thought of another aspect.

"Zhang Tianyi and Gu Fengshang are not in the same group, but they are indeed related. I heard that the Rongshan bandits never take the initiative to rob the natives of their property. They usually only target rich and unkind big landlords and gentry." Zi Yan road.

"This is quite interesting, this Zhang Tianyi is a capable person."

Luo Fengtang was thoughtful.

Those quacks are usually the kind who lick blood on the edge of their knife and turn their faces if they don't agree with each other.

Zhang Tianyi was able to control those quacks and let them act according to their own ideas. This alone can show that Zhang Tianyi has his own way.

"Do you want to meet him?" Zi Yan asked.

"Not for now."

"Things that are too easy to get are often not cherished."

"Also, I still don't know what he wants and why he is willing to accept recruitment."

Luo Fengtang thought about it, and gave up the plan to meet Zhang Tianyi now.

"Zhang Tianyi, he may not express his thoughts clearly."

Purple flue.

"That's natural. He has reached such a position and has made a boss's career. How can he easily talk to others? But it doesn't matter whether he says it or not. Go check it out and see what the Rongshan Bandits are doing now. Maybe we can get a glimpse of the real situation."

Luo Fengtang smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it."

Zi Yan nodded.

"Just those two things."

"Before that, you accompany me to a place."

Luo Fengtang said.

"Where?" Zi Yan was stunned.

And what she doesn't know?
However, this is no surprise.

After all, the personal guards around Luo Fengtang formed their own system, and they would report any news to Luo Fengtang directly.

Leave this barracks.

They rode forward.

In addition to Luo Fengtang and Ziyan, there is also a personal guard named Yun Ying, who is the commander of the personal guard next to Luo Fengtang, but his behavior is extremely low-key, except for carrying out Luo Fengtang's orders, he never speaks much.

About half an hour later, they came to an ordinary portal.

There are many wheel marks on the floor paved with bluestone slabs. The traces left by these years show that the history of this place is very long.

"Is this the place?"

Luo Fengtang frowned slightly.

This place is obviously a place where ordinary people live, and it is very inappropriate for the identity of the person he is about to visit.

"General, his whole family lives here."

Yun Ying had already dismounted from her horse.

The people who passed by in the alley immediately lowered their heads and left in a hurry when they saw them.

Luo Fengtang smiled wryly.

Now, after all, he is not the hunter in the village that he was in the past. When he goes out, he will be regarded as a nobleman, and he will be afraid of it.

This is not what he wants, but he has no choice but to do so.

By the time they led their horses to the door, all the nearby people had run away, and the surrounding area was quiet.

Yunying stepped forward with a blank expression, grabbed the knocker and knocked on the door.

Not long after, footsteps came from inside.

"Cuckoo..."

There was the sound of the door shaft turning, and the painted wooden door was half opened, and half of the body protruded from the inside.

This is a young boy with a short stature, with a round immature face. He is wearing Confucian clothes, holding a book in one hand. When he picked up someone outside, he saluted very politely: "You are polite." .”

"Is Mr. Ziming at home?" Luo Fengtang also replied with a smile.

"My father is at home."

"When you go back and report, you will say that an old friend is visiting."

Luo Fengtang said.

The young boy said yes, and walked quickly through the door.

After a while, only the sound of footsteps came.

A refined man in his 40s came out of it.

After seeing Luo Fengtang and the others, there was not much surprise on his face, but a wry smile.

He cupped his hands and said, "Unexpectedly, Lord Hou, Lord Zi, would come to visit."

"You don't need to say too many polite words, you understand the purpose of my coming." Luo Fengtang said.

"Yes, Lord Hou, Master Zi, please come home."

The refined man led the way, leading Luo Fengtang and Ziyan to the inner wing.

The place where he lives is a standard three-entry courtyard, which is a common dwelling in Yizhou City.

Of course, compared to ordinary people, a house with this structure can be regarded as a house for a well-to-do middle-class family.

But these houses still do not match the identity of the owner.

Because, the elegant man is Wei Lanfeng, the prime minister of Yizhou County, whose style name is Ziming.

Such an identity is not much worse than the county guard.

Moreover, Wei Lanfeng has served as the county magistrate for several years, so it stands to reason that he should have bought a big house long ago.

in the room.

Wei Lanfeng and Luo Fengtang were already alone in the room.

Yunying stood guard outside.

Zi Yan was dragged to the back house by Mrs. Wei Lanfeng to talk.

Wei Lanfeng carried a small brown teapot and poured tea into the cup in front of Luo Fengtang.

"This is Yizhou camellia. This spring and summer, I collected it on the mountain and made it through eighteen processes. Please taste it, Lord Hou."

Luo Fengtang picked up the teacup, without hesitation, but took a sip carefully.

"This tea has a delicate fragrance, and the taste is really good, but ordinary people can't drink it."

"You are wrong. Yizhou camellia has always been the tea that common people often drink. The [-] steps are not difficult, and tea farmers can do it. Therefore, this kind of tea is not exclusive to nobles."

Wei Lanfeng smiled slightly.

"That's not bad."

"Since the [-]-step Yizhou camellia is just ordinary tea, what kind of tea do princes and nobles drink?"

Luo Fengtang asked.

He doesn't know much about luxury goods.

"Yizhou camellias cannot catch their eyes. What they drink is tribute tea from the capital."

Wei Lanfeng said.

"Gong tea? Purchased in the palace, the tea the emperor drinks?" Luo Fengtang said.

"It is like this in name, the truth is not important, what is important is a word, expensive! The rich and powerful drink tea and drink expensive ones, so as to highlight their status. If they drink the same tea as ordinary people, how can they show their own identity? The status is noble."

Wei Lanfeng said.

"Isn't Mr. Ziming also a rich man? Why are you quite dissatisfied?"

Luo Fengtang didn't want to go around in circles with Wei Lanfeng anymore, listening to him was too tiring.

On the surface, Wei Lanfeng was talking about tea, but in fact, he was dissatisfied with the extravagant life of the rich and powerful.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

"The people in Yizhou are miserable. The suffering is unspeakable, but the dignitaries are singing and singing every day. If this continues, there will be chaos. Chaos in the world is inevitable."

Wei Lanfeng said.

"That's why Mr. Ziming sent me a letter to tell me about the secret!" Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows.
