Chapter 942 Gu Tingye’s purpose!

"Brother Zhongxuan, Zhonghuai will prepare some wine at the Eight Immortals Tower tomorrow. I hope my brother can enjoy it..."

Yuan Wenshao took the post and looked at it. The content inside was quite simple, but a bit literate. It was not at all like what was reported outside. It still looked quite literary.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand this. If Gu Erlang had not been plotted by others in the future, he would probably have been admitted to the Jinshi and become an official. This proves that he is still good at literature, and he is also outstanding in literary talent and strategy.

Although Gu Tingye did not succeed in the imperial examination, and finally chose to abandon literature and join the martial arts, this was not because he had no talent, but because he was defeated by his unbridled words and was murdered by someone with ulterior motives, so he ended his path to the imperial examination. .

You must know that he was removed from the top three list by the emperor. Nowadays, those who can become a Jinshi are among the best, and those who win the imperial examination in one go are even rarer.

The post only said that he would go to the Eight Immortals Tower for a drink tomorrow when he was free. The specific time was not specified, so Yuan Wenshao thought for a while and then ordered his attendant:

"Ping'an, go and inform the people in Ningyuan Houfu and make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon!"

"Follow me~"

"Inexplicable~" Yuan Wenshao muttered to himself, then turned around and went in to take a shower.

However, while soaking in the water, I was still thinking about it. In the past few months, due to the scruples of several friends, I rarely interacted with Gu Erlang, and only occasionally had dinner together twice.

The main reason is that his reputation is indeed not very good. It has been spread all over the city of Bianjing that he is unfilial to his parents, disrespectful to his elder brothers, indulges in debauchery, is unruly, romantic, walks dogs and fights cocks, and hangs out in Goulan tile houses...

He has countless infamy, as if he is the most hateful playboy in the whole capital, but in fact he is worthy of scrutiny.

Of course, Yuan Wenshao also understood that there was definitely Xiao Qin's handiwork in this, and even his eldest brother probably contributed to it, so he had to keep a distance for the time being.

But then again, even if Xiao Qin was behind it, Gu Tingye's infamous reputation today is inseparable from him.

I also heard Zhang Jingchang say that this guy had a few sweethearts in Qianchun Tower all year round, and even kept two foreign wives outside. Taking advantage of his youth and strength, he was very happy playing songs every night.

What could he do to him this time?

With such doubts, I went to work after taking a shower. As for the question of whether I would be late, we, Mr. Yuan, were the biggest in the yamen.

Now that we have completely established our prestige, we can naturally go whenever we want. Who dares to say more nonsense?

Riding his beloved big black horse, he slowly came to the Yamen all the way. After drinking a cup of hot tea and reading the imperial newspaper for a while, he officially started his day's work.

At this time, the class leader Zhao Hu, who was already the "top horse", came in and asked: "Sir, what should I do with that Zhang Ping? He keeps shouting that he has something to do with you~"

"What does it have to do with it? He will be punished and sent away. He is just a slave of my sister-in-law's family. Hurry up and send someone to the army. I feel annoyed when I see him~"

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand impatiently. A little servant turned into a spirit. Do you really think that the Earl's Mansion belongs to their Zhang family?

"Yes!" Zhao Hu firmly agreed without leaving directly.

He carefully took out the money bag from his arms, stepped forward, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the filial piety that Scarface sent me this month~"

"Well, just give it to Rong Bao!"

After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, so he raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Boss Zhao, please let that scar face calm down for a while!"

"Next time I see him on the street, he will lead his people to be arrogant and domineering like tigers cleaning the streets. I will personally lead his people to take over his casino~"

"As ordered!"

Master Hu, who is famous outside, is like a kitten here. He has been slightly bent since he came in, and his attitude is called humility.

"Go down~"

"Hey!"

…    Yuan Wenshao skipped work in the afternoon, and of course he had to find an excuse. It seemed like he was inspecting security, but in fact he went to the Eight Immortals Tower to have a drink.

That's the good thing about being an official in ancient times. No common people would bother to report it. Of course, even if they wanted to go to him, there would be no place, or they would have to eat a killing stick first. Do you think it's a joke that officials protect each other?

Yuan Wenshao and his two entourages rode to the Eight Immortals Tower, and were taken directly to the private room on the third floor by the waiter of the restaurant.

As soon as I entered, I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting there. Not to mention quite handsome, but at this time, he didn't have the style of future Lord Gu at all. His face was full of arrogance, and he was a proper Bianjing boy. Dandy.

"Zhong Huai, I'm really sorry that I was delayed because of some trivial matters at my brother's office~"

"Brother Zhongxuan, please don't say that. You are an official of the imperial court now. Naturally, you are busy with official duties. My younger brother came a little early when he had nothing to do~"

Although Gu Tingye tried his best to hide it, he still showed an envious expression. He was the second eldest child in the family, but now he was in charge of more than a hundred people.

He often hangs out in Goulanwashe, so naturally he has heard of Master Yuan, the "cold-faced Lord of Hell". All the people from all religions and schools in this three-acre area of ​​Nancheng are afraid of him.

Yuan Wenshao naturally noticed his expression here, but he just smiled and didn't care. Luck can account for at most half of Gu Lao Er's future achievements.

The rest is inseparable from his own efforts. He must have wanted to make a contribution, and he was probably a little greedy to see himself as an official.

He put his hands into the copper basin held by the maid, washed them briefly and wiped them before sitting on the chair.

He smiled heartily and said, "Zhong Huai, I have just taken office at this stage, so I am indeed a little busy!"

"We two brothers haven't had a good drink in some days. We must not get drunk today~"

"Okay~" Gu Tingye smiled and nodded.

Then he turned around and ordered the restaurant steward: "Let us serve food and drinks, and then call the best singer here to join in the fun. I want the one from the Western Region who wears gauze~"

Look, this guy is young despite his young age, but his father, Marquis Ningyuan, is very powerful. In addition, Xiao Qin is deliberately indulgent. He has probably never been short of money since he was a child. He is a very old driver.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Yuan Wenshao waved his hand to stop the singing and dancing and motioned for them to go down.

"Erlang, you asked me here this time, not just for drinking. If you have anything to say, just say it. If a friend has committed something, as long as it is not a serious crime, I will never refuse for your sake!"

"Uh...well..." Gu Tingye was still a little embarrassed.

"It's not that a friend committed a crime, but that there are other things to trouble Brother Zhongxuan!"

"Huh?" Yuan Wenshao didn't understand. Why are you looking for me if you don't commit any trouble?

I am only a small eighth-grade official, so I can't seem to help you with other matters, Gu Erlang. There are many people who want to flatter you, the dignified second son of Marquis Ningyuan.

"It's like this. Don't I feel tired of staying in the capital? I want to have some fun in Yangzhou. I heard that Brother Zhongxuan's family is going to go there to collect taxes for my second sister-in-law, so I thought if I could go with him~"

"Tch, go to the grave and burn newspapers, are you fooling the devil?"

He silently complained in his heart, Yuan Wenshao was reborn, and he knew that this guy would definitely not just go there to play, and he made some excuses to accompany him. In the final analysis, he was not trying to cover up others' eyes.

He secretly went to Yangzhou and took back his grandfather's property. As for why he didn't dare to make a big splash, the Bai family was a salt merchant, and they were notoriously shady in this business.
