Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 335
"The pages of the Three Kingdoms Mandarin Chinese book have been rolled up, and the writing is full of annotations. It can no longer be repaired. Take it back. If you want it, buy a new one."

Li Bangyan in the bookstore took out a handful of candy from a small plate on the wooden table, put it in the palm of the visitor and said, "This is Xiangzhou persimmon frosting candy. Children will inevitably get tooth decay if they eat too much, so they can only be given to you." You're so much."

Li Bangyan touched the little girl's forehead as he spoke, smiling very warmly.

"Thank you Weng Weng." A little girl put three copper coins on the table.

Li Bangyan is the shopkeeper of this bookstore, and he is also responsible for repairing books on weekdays.

Today, the old lady brought her little granddaughter to see if the Three Kingdoms Mandarin Chinese book at home can still be repaired.

But Li Bangyan said that there was nothing he could do. The book was seriously damaged, and it was not properly kept at first glance, and there were some mildew spots.

And this old lady has already bought a book of nine chapters on arithmetic and went home to teach her granddaughter arithmetic.

Li Bangyan watched the old lady take the little granddaughter farther and farther, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

This kind of life is really comfortable.

And the little granddaughter turned her head and showed her little canine teeth, and said with a beaming smile, "Thank you, Weng Weng."

After the little granddaughter finished speaking, she shook the candy in her hand and smiled sweetly.

But the smile on Li Bangyan's face became more and more wide, and when the grandparents and grandchildren left his sight, he withdrew his eyes. Looking at the thick jujube tree outside the courtyard, which was full of yellow leaves, he knew that this big tree was I am afraid that next year it will not spit out new shoots again.

But he was relieved that a new jujube tree was growing vigorously, which made him feel a little less sad.

He picked up the teacup, sat on the rocking chair, and savored the aroma of the tea.

The shopkeeper of this bookstore did not know when it was replaced by this little old man. The neighbors said that he was the former prime minister.

This remark made people laugh, how could a dignified prime minister be so cheap?
Although Da Song can't help merchants, it doesn't mean city membership, and there are no restrictions.

And Li Bangyan himself knew that living in Bianjing was not easy.

He has already left the center of the court, and if he leaves Bianjing, the center of the empire, his talent and learning will be useless, and he knows that the officials will no longer use him.

But he didn't want to die in Tanzhou like Cai Jing and left Bianjing. A person like him is actually no different from death.

Life is good now, and he is very satisfied.

After several rounds of personnel changes in the court, no one paid any attention to him, an old man who had lost his power, but no one came to bother him anymore.

Li Bangyan likes children very much, and he even has a very good relationship with Yue Yun, Yu Wenzhong and others.

"Li Wengweng!" A crisp voice appeared in Li Bangyan's ears. Li Bangyan smiled and looked at the person who came, it was Zhao Chenfu.

This little girl has an unyielding spirit, always pestering him to ask a lot about the court.

A five-year-old little girl's film, just finished speaking, paying attention to the court, is not something she does at her age.

So Li Bangyan sternly rejected the little girl's question. How could he pollute Zhao Chenfu as a prodigal son and a corrupt official?
He introduced Li Gang to Zhao Chenfu, this is the demeanor that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty should have.

"Li Wengweng! Look at this stone I picked up!" Zhao Chenfu said while holding up a red stone, his face full of anticipation.

Li Bangyan stared at the stone for a long time, looked at Zhao Chenfu's expectant face and said, "Why did you pick up this stone?"

Zhao Chenfu said with a smile on his face, "Of course it's because this stone is beautiful."

"What's so good about it?" Li Bangyan still asked with great interest, he was surprisingly patient with children.

Zhao Chenfu pointed and said, "It's red."

Li Bangyan nodded, and said contentedly: "That's right, if you find a craftsman to polish it, it will look better. Give it to Li Wengweng, and Li Wengweng will help you."

Zhao Huan saw this scene from a long distance, walked forward, picked up the stone and looked at it for a long time, not to mention, although this red stone is not a precious stone, it is crystal clear.

The most important thing is that it is like a big rooster with two feet.

Zhao Huan suddenly thought of a text he learned when he was a child, called Chinese stone, and this one was very similar.

"Let me find someone to polish it." Zhao Huan smiled and put the stone in his sleeve.

"Eh?" Li Bangyan stretched out his hand to want it, and when he saw it was Zhao Huan, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Join the official house."

Zhao Chenfu was also taken aback by Zhao Huan's sudden appearance, and said with his tongue painted on, "Yeah, official, why is there no sound when walking?"

Zhao Huan laughed and said, "It's because you are too focused on your beautiful stone. But that's fine."

Before Zhao Huan finished speaking, Li Bangyan answered, "That's fine."

They were all talking about one thing, that is, Zhao Chenfu shouldn't care about so many serious things at such a young age. He is just at the age of playing, and important national affairs are things that adults should worry about.

Children should have their own childhood.

"The grown-ups are going to talk about business, go and play with Li Wengweng." Zhao Huan patted Zhao Chenfu's head and dismissed Zhao Chenfu.

Zhao Chenfu nodded, and said, "The other Li Wengweng is serious, but also very interesting. I'll go now."

Zhao Chenfu hopped away, and Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Chenfu's back with a smile on his face.

This little girl has a maturity and intelligence that does not match her age, but in the final analysis she still has the cuteness of a child.

"Shimei, I have something to ask you." Zhao Huan said seriously.

Li Bangyan knew that the opportunity to perform was coming. The reason why he came to this bookstore to be the shopkeeper was actually to protect himself.

Li Gang is the Taizai. As a former Taizai, if he was a little careless, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, he took the initiative to demean his status and practice cheap business in order to protect himself.

Of course, the bookstore in Zhao Huan's hands was originally operated by him for many years, but when the official ransacked his house, he ransacked it.

Li Bangyan also returned to his old business. In comparison, Li Bangyan didn't care about these things outside his body.

Up to now, his mood has gradually changed. Compared with Zhao Huan who ransacked his house and ransacked him completely, he now feels more distressed about the red stone.

I have no objection to the official family ransacking your house. I promised this stone to the little girl!

It's a pity that Zhao Huan is the emperor, but he dare not take it.

"When asked by the official, the guilty minister knows everything, and he can't stop talking." Li Bangyan bowed his head and said.

"Liu Jian." Zhao Huan spat out two words.

Li Bangyan nodded, and it really came!

He already knew that Li Gang was dealing with Liu Jian, so he was already prepared.

Liu Jian was really too slippery. If Li Bangyan hadn't learned some inside information by accident, he wouldn't have known about the heinous crimes committed by this person.

Even if he knew it was a clue, but one clue was enough.

The power possessed by the officials is to slander Liu Jian as a criminal even without evidence.

Say you are guilty, you are guilty.

For example, why don't you wear a hat when you go out today?
But for such an official family, when Li Bangyan ran to Hedong Road, he ran back to his hometown in a hurry, and absolutely dare not return to Bianjing.

The official family is a Zhouzheng person.

"Liu Jian is suspected of treason. Officials, he has a very close relationship with Zhao Gou, but few people know about it." Li Bangyan bowed his head and said.

"Tell me." Zhao Huan asked with a frown.

"There is a tunnel in Liu's mansion, which can lead to the outside of the city. This tunnel is not owned by him. It was built by the great merchants in the former Tang Dynasty to avoid the disaster of war. Bianjing was expanded every year, and the tunnel was built deeper and bigger. Intricate and complicated. And the depth of the tunnel is Liu Jian's domineering capital."

"Everyone calls Liu Jian the Wandao Liu, but they don't know where the Wandao came from. In the depths of this tunnel, there are ten thousand ring-headed knives and three thousand long knives, and in this tunnel, there are often three thousand dead scholar."

Every time Li Bangyan said something, Zhao Huan's face became more serious.

"Where did you know?" Zhao Huan asked coldly.

At this time, Li Bangyan was already sweating profusely and said: "Zhao Gou once discussed with the minister in the Jinbing barracks, and said that Wandao Liu is one of his reliance. Explain the name of Wandao to me a little bit. Where did it come from."

"The guilty minister thought he was talking about armaments, but the minister inquired many ways, and only then did he find out about the dead man from a pui."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhao Huan came to inspect the bookstore today, preparing for the promotion of the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms chapter-style novels.

He launched this popular romance of the Three Kingdoms for another purpose, which is to inspire the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty. He did not expect to get such shocking news from Li Bangyan's mouth.

"The guilty minister has nothing to say." Li Bangyan said with a sigh.

He wanted to say, but he had no chance to meet the officials except after he testified himself in the hall.

As for his identity, it is destined that no one will come to see him. He is very poor, where is he going to talk about it?
Looking for Li Gang?It was good for Li Gang to see him once. Later, when Li Gang came to visit, Li Bangyan didn't know whether the information was true or not.

"The guilty minister also learned about the dead man by accident, so he connected all the trivial clues together."

"The guilty minister went to pick greens outside the city, and only found something unusual in Xinzhuang near Xinzhuang. After careful investigation, he found out about it. The guilty minister is also guessing, so don't speak freely."

Li Bangyan was sweating profusely. He also guessed, but with his sense of smell, he felt that the guess should not be wrong.

"Don't be nervous. Are you saying that Liu Jian and Zhao Gou have a close relationship?" Zhao Huan grasped the point keenly.

If I were to be personally conscripted by the imperial driver, I'm afraid that Zhao Gou's strange soldier would directly steal the house.

"The guilty minister heard Zhao Gou say it once. I'm not sure." Li Bangyan didn't give Zhao Huan a definite answer, all of this was his guess.

But dead men certainly exist.

Zhao Huan broke out in cold sweat, thanks to his patience. When Zhao Gou claimed to be the king of Wu, he just abolished the title of King Zhao Goukang, and did not send troops south.

If all they have to go south to quell the chaos, the fire in this backyard may be even worse than when Bamen went to Beijing.

But now that he knew about it, the Liu family couldn't stay.

No need, yes?Zhao Huan suddenly thought of this word. The case he is handling now seems a bit unnecessary, and it has a taste!
"Commander Cheng! Come here." Zhao Huan called the officer who came with him. Whatever happened, as long as there is a direction to investigate, everything will be easy to talk about.

"Go and find out about this Xinzhuang. If there are indeed dead men guarding it, then let's catch them all." Zhao Huan said coldly.

Kindness is the personality set by Zhao Huan for himself, and this is not a reason to hinder him from doing things.
