Chapter 27: Unexpected Gains, There is Nothing New Under the Sun!
A powerful force independent of the court and belonging to the East Palace, if this were to happen, why would he have to be so timid like he is now?
He could have put on armor and held a sharp weapon, climbed up to the Taiji Hall and shouted with his real arms, "How could the Tang Dynasty have a crown prince who only lasted for thirteen years?"

"This matter is not urgent, you can take your time."

Li Chengqian sighed, gave up the great vision in his mind, looked at the list and said, "Let's talk about how to deal with these people first!"

After a detailed discussion until dusk, Li Chengqian left with satisfaction.

However, before leaving, Li Chengqian left the list to Su Chen.

"Brother Su and I are one. We advance and retreat together, and share honor and disgrace. From now on, I will need Brother Su to take care of me."

It's not just that we are one, but it's also true that we advance and retreat together, and share honor and disgrace.

Su Chen took a look at the list left behind, put it away after thinking for a while, and called Su Wang.

"What are your orders, son?"

"Does the Su family have any connections in Jiangzhou?"

Jiangzhou?

Su Wang thought for a moment and nodded, "My lord, my distant nephew Su Bin does have some business dealings in Hedong Road."

Su Chen's eyes lit up, "Can you contact Su Bin to help me find someone?"

Su Wang smiled, "So you're looking for someone. That's easy. I wonder what the name of the person you're looking for is, and where he lives?"

Su Chen thought about it and shook his head. "I only remember that this person's name is Xue Rengui and he lives in Jiangzhou, Hedong Road. I don't know where he lives exactly."

The reason why we remember Xue Rengui is because he was so famous for conquering Mount Tianshan with three arrows.

Both Tang poetry and Song lyrics have records about this incident.

Among them, the song of the Tang army, "The general's three arrows conquered Tianshan, and the soldiers sang long songs to enter the Han Pass," is particularly majestic, and the song of Li Yi's "Don't let the wheel return to the sea cave, but still keep one arrow to conquer Tianshan" shows decisiveness and perseverance.

The poets of the Song Dynasty also wrote about this in great detail: "In the past, a man conquered Mount Tianshan with three arrows, and he considered himself a hero unrivaled in the world!"

This shows the status of Xue Rengui in the hearts of countless literati and poets.

In addition, Su Chen’s mobile phone also has a very popular song by Wang Baochuan. How could he forget such a powerful person?

"Xue Rengui..."

Su Wang nodded after thinking for a moment. "I've made a note of it. I'll write a letter to Hedong Road later. Sir, do you have anything else to say?"

"Well...you go down first."

"Yes, I will resign, villain."

Su Wang bowed and left.

Su Chen knocked his head. Xue Rengui had already arranged people to look for him, so where was Wang Xuance?
Compared to Xue Rengui, who was highly respected by literati and poets, Wang Xuance was much less famous. Only a few hundred words were left about him in some history books, and the five words "one man destroyed a country" were enough to summarize him.

Sometimes Su Chen also has a headache, wondering what the ancient ancestors were thinking.

No matter who you fight with, if you win, it will only be a few lines of text, or at most a hundred words.

Just like the battle of Liangzhou that Sun Qiang was so proud of, there was no detailed description of how it was fought, anyway, the opponent was captured and killed.

If we lost the battle, those historians would write about it in great detail, like a cat that smelled blood or had a rabid dog attack.

Who was the commander, who was responsible for logistics, when and where did the troops go out, where did they lose, how many casualties did they have, why did they lose, the gap between the enemy and us...

Etc., etc.

The details are so detailed that they almost strip off the underwear of both sides!
headache.

Su Chen rubbed his head, took a sip of tea, hummed a little tune and went back to his room to rest.

As for Wang Xuance’s matter, I will ask Jin Yong tomorrow. He is a bad guy and has a lot of information in Chang’an City. Maybe he can give me some clues.

"I rode a white horse through three checkpoints... well, I rode a white horse through three checkpoints, and the only thing on my mind was Wang Baochuan..."

Early the next morning.

Jin Yong arrived outside the Prince's residence. His well-fitting clothes matched his sturdy physique, making him look even more majestic and powerful.

Squeak.

The door of the Prince's Residence opened, and Jin Yong stepped forward with a happy face to greet him, "Brother, I am Jin Yong and would like to see Master Su. Please inform him."

"So it's Warrior Jin. The Master told me yesterday that you don't need to be notified if you come. Please follow me."

"Thank you!"

Jin Yong clasped his fists in thanks and followed the doorman into the Prince's Residence.

Sun Qiang, who had gotten up early to change his dressing, was now exercising in the yard. When he saw Jin Yong, he smiled and said hello: "You came early."

"Meet Lord Sun."

"Hey, I'm just a little guard, I don't care about being a big shot or not."

Sun Qiang waved his hand nonchalantly, "I think Master Su cares a lot about you. Maybe you will work for him in the future. Let's call each other brothers."

Jin Yong understood: "Little brother Jin Yong meets Brother Sun."

Sun Qiang smiled and nodded, then he heard a yawn coming from behind him, "It's so early in the morning, you can't even sleep in."

Jin Yong bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Su."

Su Chen nodded and looked at Sun Qiang, who looked in good spirits.

"Let's go to Xuanpingfang and have a bite to eat."

"Why not go to West Market?"

"Guess." Sun Qiang was speechless.

As the most prosperous place in Chang'an City, West Market is undoubtedly a paradise for delicious food. Even breakfast has specialties from all over the country.

Now, Su Chen actually chose to go to Xuanpingfang instead of going there.

Is there anything fun and delicious over there?

Most of them are residences of officials below the third rank, and there are very few delicious foods.

"Jin Yong, how many years have you been a bad guy?"

"My Lord, it has been two and a half years."

"In that case, you should have a lot of information channels among your friends."

Jin Yong nodded. "It's just a few small things. There are indeed quite a few rumors. I wonder what you want to do, sir?"

Su Chen: "Have you heard of Wang Xuance?"

Sun Qiang was surprised and asked, "Isn't that County Magistrate Wang?"

Ok?
There was an unexpected delivery?

Su Chen looked at Sun Qiang curiously, "Do you know this person?"

Sun Qiang: "I've dealt with him before. He was a minor county magistrate. I did something wrong at that time... ahem, I didn't get along well with him at that time, and I didn't become a guard of the Eastern Palace. I don't know what happened to me later."

Su Chen rolled his eyes, which was almost equivalent to saying nothing, and turned to look at Jin Yong.

Jin Yong smiled and said, "Sir, you asked the right person. I am familiar with him."

"Oh?"

"My lord, you don't know that Wang Xuance is a man of integrity and chivalry. When he was the magistrate of Huangshui County, he offended some people and later had no choice but to resign. He should be living in Luoyang now."

Skillful.

Su Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great. I want to recommend him to be an official in the East Palace. If it's possible, please let me know."

Jin Yong: "That's easy to say. I will definitely convey your message, but it will probably take several days to go back and forth."

"No problem, just send someone to tell him about it."

Su Chen sniffed his nose and looked at the vendors in the distance, "Eat something first, boss, give me three bowls of noodles."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Soon, three steaming bowls of noodles were served to Su Chen and the other two.

Three meals a day was still a bit of a luxury for the common people in the Tang Dynasty, but for the officials and their relatives living in Xuanpingfang, it was very common.

"I heard that Lord Wei secretly went to Nishang Tower to meet his lover a few days ago, and was almost beaten up as a thief."

"Captain Wei? Not really?"

"Really, Captain Wei wanted to marry her home, but Old Master Wei didn't agree. So Lord Wei had no choice but to buy a house in West City with a large sum of money, intending to keep his beauty in a golden house..."

As he spoke, the diner lowered his voice and said, "In order to buy a place for the girl in Nishang Tower, Lord Wei deliberately went to the Hu merchants and got several thousand taels of silver and a superior house."

"Hush, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! I'll just pretend I never heard of it..."

Suck.

It’s so exciting.

When Su Chen and the other two heard this, their ears perked up and the fire of gossip burned fiercely.

The two diners quickly finished their noodles, got up and left. Seeing them go their separate ways, it seemed that they were not from an official's house.

"Pity."

Sun Qiang smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't listen more carefully.

Jin Yong didn't take it seriously: "There is nothing new under the sun. Which son of a high-ranking official hasn't done a few stupid things?"

"It's just that they hid it very well and no one spread it out."

As the two of them said this, they saw that Su Chen had a thoughtful look on his face.

Thinking of the conversation between the two officials' relatives just now, Sun Qiang and the other man looked at each other.

Could it be that Su Chen came to Xuanpingfang on purpose?

"What are you thinking about, Master?"

“It’s time to get things done.”

"...?"

ps: I asked the editor, and he recommended it today. If nothing goes wrong, it will be on the shelves in the early morning this evening.

First of all, thank you all for your continued support, voting, reading and comments. Thank you, thank you very much.

Secondly, I have been in this industry for several years and I dare not say that I am an outstanding writer, but I will try my best to do my job well and write this book well.

To be honest, when I wrote this book, I did it on impulse. After bragging in the group, I went to the editor to sign the book contract and went through the process. Until now, I still don’t understand the rules of the website.

I thought the quality of a book was determined by subscriptions, but the editor said it was determined by popularity. o(╯□╰)o, I have no idea what popularity is.

But now that they are all on the shelves, of course we require a wave of first orders.

I would like to ask all the big guys to give me a first order and a follow-up reading. Thank you all here.
