When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 696: Peng Yingmengda is puzzled

At 3:30 pm, the morning bell of the Chang'an city market rang, and the paulownia doors of teahouses, taverns, inns and shops were removed one after another. Various flags were hung high, and the empty streets gradually had traces of vehicles and pedestrians.

By the time of Mao, the market finally became lively. People of all kinds were lingering there. The horsemen stopped their carriages in front of the shops, and several big men were unloading goods swiftly. The peddlers had droopy eyelids as if they were still asleep, yawning one after another. Whenever someone passed by, he would open his eyelids to perk up and shout out his goods. Two merchants were talking and laughing, looking like brothers and friends, but the cunning and greedy eyes from time to time exposed their relationship. The brothers and friends were just superficial. The official wearing the Jinxian crown walked out of the inn and went to the agreed teahouse.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that Brother Zhang really did it! In this way, the matter is half successful. After getting the appreciation of Doctor Wu, you and I brothers will soar to the sky!" An official said excitedly.

The other official shook his head, "Brother Ling, it's still uncertain whether it will succeed or not. If it succeeds, we are lucky, and we should thank Brother Zhang. If it doesn't succeed, there's no need to worry about it."

"No? Haha, Brother Liu, you worry too much. How can it not work? According to Brother Zhang's retelling, this is a done deal!"

The two officials spoke with a slight Sichuan accent. One was named Liu Gui and the other Ling Bao. They were the brothers of life and death that Zhang Ren mentioned.

"We've arrived at the teahouse, let's stop here for now."

Liu Lingbao stepped over the threshold and walked into the teahouse. The lobby was already crowded, and it was filled with merchants speaking various accents. The merchant selling Shu brocade wiped the table with his sleeves again and again, and then reluctantly put the package on the table. He carefully opened it and showed the finished product to the merchant in front of him. The merchants in Guanzhong and Liangzhou argued endlessly, and it was a verbal battle. The waiter was busy and exhausted, serving tea soup here and tea cakes there.

He left Liu Gui Lingbao aside for a long time before slowly rushing up to the two of them.

Ling Bao was furious and wanted to punch the waiter in the face, but Liu Qi stood in front of him, so he had to give up.

"I was too busy just now and accidentally offended the two distinguished guests. Please go upstairs, please go upstairs." The waiter glanced at the Jinxian crown on Liu Guilingbao's forehead and immediately realized that these two were not the same kind of people as the merchants in the lobby. If they were arranged in the lobby, they would definitely suffer a disaster today!
Liu Qi instructed: "We have a good friend who has not arrived yet. If someone is looking for Liu and Ling in Yizhou, they will be our good friends."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely invite your friends to your private room then." The waiter assured again and again.

Ling Bao snorted coldly: "That's more like it."

Liu Gui Lingbao waited for a long time, and the tea in the cup was almost gone, but fortunately, Zhang Ren finally showed up.

Ling Bao stood up and laughed, "Hahaha, Brother Zhang, please take a seat, please take a seat!"

"Brother Ling, that's not necessary, that's not necessary." Zhang Ren said that there was no need to be so polite, but he still couldn't resist Ling Bao's enthusiasm and was invited by Ling Bao to the main seat.

Ling Bao's face was full of smiles, and even his eyebrows and eyes were bent with laughter, "This time, it's all thanks to Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Zhang is indeed a benevolent and righteous gentleman. He did not forget us even after his promotion."

"Brother Zhang, please accept my greeting!"

Ling Bao took three steps back and was about to bow. Zhang Ren was so shocked that he immediately stood up and quickly grasped Ling Bao's arm. "Brother Ling, there is no need to be so polite. Am I helping you in order to accept your courtesy? Please stand up."

"Brother Zhang, this is so righteous!" Ling Bao was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

Then Ling Bao asked the waiter to bring tea and tea cakes. After a few pleasantries, Liu Gui Ling Bao got down to business.

"Brother Zhang, what is Doctor Wu's reaction?" Zhang Ren's smile deepened when he mentioned this. He exaggerated a little and said confidently: Doctor Wu thinks you two are quite talented. It is really a waste of talent to serve as officials in the county. "

Liu Gui and Ling Bao looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise on each other's faces.

Even a fool could understand what Wu Lan said that she wanted to help them.

With Wu Lan's support, won't his future career be smooth sailing?
An officer in the Ministry of War.
The two of them couldn't help but feel dazed, their breathing became rapid, their hearts pounded, and they clenched their fists in excitement. What does it mean to be an official in the Ministry of War? Whether it is promotion or power, it is not comparable to the military officers in the counties. This is really a way to heaven!
Ling Bao asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhang Zhang, what am I waiting for? When are you going to visit Doctor Wu? We have prepared the gifts."

Faced with the temptation of being an official in the Ministry of War, the usually calm Liu Qi could not help himself. He hurriedly asked, "Yes, yes, yes, I have prepared the gifts. When are we going?"

Zhang Ren smiled and said, "We will set off in a moment."

Liu Gui and Lingbao's hearts trembled. At this moment, they saw a broad road waving at them.

Doctor Wu! Ministry of War! I’ve been waiting for you!
Hahaha!
"brush--"

The door was suddenly opened.

Ling Bao was stunned at first, and then he was furious. Who were they? How dare they disturb them? Didn't they know that they were officials from the Ministry of War?
Just when Ling Bao was about to start cursing, he was stunned when he saw who was coming.

A group of warriors in armor and sharp weapons broke into the private room.
"Great Li Temple!" Ling Bao's face turned pale, and he staggered back several steps. Before he could fight, the anger in his heart was extinguished. Zhang Ren and Liu Qi's faces also turned ugly.

The Dali Temple was very famous and had arrested countless officials. Many people secretly claimed that Wu Ban, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was a minion of Jia Xu who eliminated dissidents.

Zhang Ren forced a smile and said, "Did something go wrong? We are just having a meal together and we are not doing anything illegal or against discipline."

"You three are Zhang Ren, Liu Qi, and Ling Bao?"

"Yes, it is"

"If that's the case, then it's correct. The three of you are involved in bribing your superiors. Come with me!"

What?! Bribe your superiors!

The three people's eyelids jumped violently, and their faces turned pale. Bribing a superior is a serious crime! What on earth is going on? Is it a trap set by Doctor Wu and Wu Lan? ! But we have no hatred against Wu Lan!

This was seen by everyone in the teahouse. Peng Yingmengda, who was sitting next to the private room for three people, laughed with glee and said, "Zijing, look at these three people. Not only did they bribe their superiors, but they also got caught. They are so stupid, so stupid."

"Haha, Yongnian is absolutely right. Absolutely right!"

But something strange happened to Peng Ying and Meng Da. They were wondering: The officials from the Dali Temple had just left, so why did the people from the Ministry of Justice come again? They looked so aggressive, as if they were here to arrest someone. How could a small teahouse alarm both the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice at the same time?
Weird, weird.
