Chapter 95 Puyang Encounter (1)

After Huangfusong's consent, Zhao Lei took Zhang Han and Zhao Yun on horseback to Puyang, the capital of Yanzhou.

Why go where?In fact, the reason is very simple.During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had the most talents under his command. The big reason was that Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains for a long time, so it was more convenient to recruit talents.And Cao Cao's earliest base was in Yanzhou. There are many Yanzhou people in his team, and Puyang, as the center of the entire Yanzhou, must have many talents. How could Zhao Lei miss it?

Let me introduce the history of Puyang first.Puyang City is located in the northeast of Henan Province, on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, at the junction of the three prefectures of Hebei, Xu, and Henan. Its geographical location is self-evident, and it is naturally an important military location.That's why Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu attack Yanzhou at that time. Although Yanzhou is not a rich place, it is an absolute military town.

It's a little too far.Closer to home, Zhao Lei took Zhang Han and Zhao Yun to the city of Puyang for about half a day.Looking around, this city is worthy of being the political and military center of Yanzhou.In terms of the height and thickness of the city walls, all cities in Hebei cannot be compared with it, including Yecheng.

After entering the city, Zhao Lei found a random restaurant, paid for the three-day room fee, ordered some side dishes, and ate with his two brothers.

"Brother, look where your so-called masters come from this kind of place, and there is nothing interesting about it." Zhao Yun complained. Although Puyang is a big city, in terms of the size of the city, it is still unmatched by Yecheng. .

"You think that the expert is someone you can meet whenever you want!" Zhao Lei said with a white look at Zhao Yun.

"Xiao Er, call your boss." While talking, Zhang Han said to Xiao Er beside him.

"Okay." Xiao Er agreed, and went to the back to call the boss over.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked towards them. He was dressed gorgeously and had three or four emerald rings on his hands. He must be the owner of this restaurant.

"Several guest officials, is it because the hospitality in the small shop is not good?" The boss thought that Zhang Han called him to complain, so he said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, no, I just want to ask the boss if there are some famous people or some refined scholars living here." Zhang Han put an ingot of gold on the table first after speaking.

The boss saw Jin Jin's eyes shining, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes. We have a teaching academy in the west of the city, and there are all educated people there. As for the sophistication that the little brother said, I have never heard of it." .”

Zhang Han handed the ingot of gold to the boss, and when the boss got it, he rushed to greet Xiao Er to greet the three uncles well.

"It's easy to ask!" Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Sure enough." Zhao Lei and Zhao Yun said at the same time.

After lunch, Zhao Lei hired a carriage, and the three of them changed their clothes and outfits in the carriage, and drove to the teaching school in the west of the city.

"Learning while practicing, it's such a joy..." Zhao Lei heard the catchy sound of reading in the academy as soon as he got off.Zhao Lei looked up at the plaque.

"Hanlin Academy."

"Why do things from the Tang Dynasty already exist at this time?" Zhao Lei thought to himself, but after thinking about it carefully, the Hanlin Academy is just the name of an academy, not the concept of the Tang Dynasty at all.

Zhao Lei walked forward and was about to enter the gate, but was stopped by the guards at the gate.The two guards held wooden sticks and blocked Zhao Lei's way.

"Two brothers, why did you block my way? I came to your academy today out of curiosity." Zhao Lei said politely.

"My brother, I'm sorry, it's our class time now. In order not to disturb those teachers' classes, we can't let two of you in." One of the guards said.

"Okay then, let's wait outside for a while, can the three of us go in for a visit after class is over?" Zhao Lei said.

"That's natural."

After chatting with the guard for a while, Zhao Lei knew that this academy was the largest in Puyang City, and all the rich people sent their children to study here, because the teachers here were basically literati and educated people. Therefore, he was warmly welcomed and absolutely supported by the local people.

"Then who established this academy?" Zhang Han asked.

"Haven't you guys heard of Mr. Cheng Yu?" the guard asked.

"I've heard of it." "I haven't heard of it."

The one who said he had never heard of it was naturally Zhao Yun, so Zhao Yun looked at his two brothers with a very surprised look.

"Do you know this person?" Zhao Yun asked strangely.

"I overheard it in the restaurant before." Zhang Han hurriedly smoothed things over.

"So, this academy is opened by Mr. Cheng?" Zhao Lei asked the guard, changing the subject by the way.

"Yes." The doorman replied.

After gaining a basic understanding of the academy, Zhao Lei went to the opposite teahouse, found a seat and sat down, waiting for the academy to end the get out of class.

"Would the three guest officials come to taste the new products of our store?" A tea waiter ran over to greet Zhao Lei and the three with a smile, and said.

"What new product?" Zhao Lei said.

"It's the famous Yecheng Yingcha." Xiaoer said.

Zhao Lei felt very strange, didn't he take away all the powder on Changshan?Why is there coffee here?
"Then let's have a pot!" Zhao Lei said.

"Okay." Xiaoer yelled.

After a while, a pot of shadow tea was placed on the table.At first glance, Zhao Lei was indeed no different from the shadow tea in his teahouse, they were all pitch black, and he could see his own shadow in the tea.

But after taking a sip, I felt something was wrong. Although the tea was pretty good, with a hint of sweetness, it was obviously just tea, not coffee.Zhao Lei smiled and asked Xiao Er: "Is Xiao Er brother joking with us? What kind of shadow tea is this?"

"Guest officer, this is obviously Yecheng's shadow tea!" Xiao Er said.

"I can tell you very clearly, this is not, we have drunk the real shadow tea." Zhao Lei said.

Hearing what Zhao Lei said, the other guests seemed to believe it, and they all asked Xiaoer for an explanation.Suddenly the scene became chaotic.

"Where are the country people who can't drink tea and dare to make trouble in my teahouse." An old-faced middle-aged man ran out and said.

"Boss, they say our shadow tea is fake." Seeing his boss running out, Xiao Er suddenly gained confidence.

Of course the boss knew that his tea was counterfeit, but if he admitted today that his teahouse sells fake tea, wouldn't his teahouse's business be completely ruined in the future?Anyway, there are only three of them, so it can be done.

Thinking of this, the boss shouted: "Come here! Throw these three scoundrels out for me." As soon as he finished speaking, many footsteps came from the back hall.

"Dare to come to my place to play wild, do you know how many dignitaries and dignitaries come to my place for tea after class every day." The boss sneered, and the teahouse was already full of people at this time.

"Throw out these three people and beat them up again, don't hinder my business in the teahouse. Other customers continue, whatever you want!" The boss laughed.

"So it's still a black spot!" Zhao Yun sneered, ready to make a move.

Zhao Lei stopped Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Zilong, if you start here, you will destroy the teahouse, let's go out!"

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the boss thought that Zhao Lei had given in, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, you're quite sensible, pay for your tea money, and get out of here!"

"Fuck you, fuck off! I mean to go out and fight. The place is too small for me to let go." Zhao Lei cursed.

The boss was furious: "I don't know people, right? You give them a good lesson."

The three Zhao Lei brothers walked out of the teahouse and confronted each other on the main road between the teahouse and the academy.Rather than a confrontation, it is better to say that they were surrounded, and more than 20 people from the other side surrounded the three of them.

"Man, you should hide later! There are too many people, I'm afraid you will be hurt." Zhao Lei said, and Zhao Yun nodded beside him.

"It's okay, I can't beat Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, but it's more than enough to deal with these little guys." Zhang Han laughed.

Under such a siege, Zhao Lei and the three were still talking and laughing freely, and the thugs from the teahouse became angry and attacked them fiercely.

It seems that the trip to Puyang is really dangerous.
