A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,226 Tang Ren Fled for His Life, Chen Zhongheng Bought a House

Tang Ren felt that his trip was perfect. Not only did Zhongjing City become a den for a group of big scammers, he sold Dali Pills at a sky-high price, but he also made Xiao Guanyin an admirer of Shen An.

The queen of a country!

This is the queen of the Liao Kingdom, and she is actually Shen An's admirer. If this news spreads, it will probably cause shock in the world.

But Tang Ren knew not to say anything, otherwise it would cause many changes. He was not afraid of any accidents, except that the grape trellis in Shen An's home would collapse.

When they were in a good mood, they walked quickly, and they arrived in Yuzhou on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

As an envoy, the Liao Kingdom must arrange food and accommodation, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

The accompanying Liao officials took them to the post house to settle down, and then Tang Ren still had energy to go out for a walk.

The so-called post house actually has other functions when messengers do not come often, such as receiving officials and generals, and messengers.

Tang Ren walked out of the post house and saw two horses galloping towards him.

After arriving outside the post house, the two Liao people dismounted, and one of them ordered: "Quick, change horses! Prepare water."

Tsk tsk!

Tang Ren was wearing casual clothes and couldn't help but gloat about someone's rebellion.

The postman came out and wanted to welcome them in to rest, but the two of them just shook their heads and said, "This is urgent news, so hurry up."

The postman went in to greet people to prepare war horses and water. Two Liao people sat on the threshold to rest.

"The people of Song Dynasty will definitely be cut into pieces if they betray their trust."

What does it mean?

Tang Ren was a little dumbfounded.

Another Liao man whispered: "They abolished the annual currency. This is provoking the Liao. Your Majesty will definitely be furious. When the time comes, the army will go south and sweep across that colorful world."

"Yes. But don't talk about it. This matter needs to be kept secret to avoid an uproar along the way."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Tang Ren stood behind the pillar, feeling his heart go cold.

Damn it!

The Song Dynasty actually abolished the Sui coin?

Judging from the appearance of these two people, it was obvious that they were running wildly, changing horses without changing people. They ran non-stop all day long, and even their eyes were bloodshot...

Yes, this kind of news is indeed big news. Even if the horse is killed, the person is worth it.

It's so urgent!

But what about XX?

Tang Ren suddenly found himself in danger.

If Yelu Hongji gets the news, will he send troops to hunt him down?

It's possible!

After Tang Ren waited for the two people to leave, he slowly walked in and said with a smile: "The night is very nice. I really want to travel all night!"

The postman smiled and said: "There were envoys from Song Dynasty who were on their way before, but they were homesick."

Is there any precedent?

Tang Ren was slightly happy and said, "So I left overnight to go home and see my family."

After entering, the Liao official who sent him off was still drinking. Tang Ren sat down and said, "I'll have a few drinks with you."

Tang Ren praised him and got him drunk in a few moments. Then he found the envoy and said, "The Song Dynasty has canceled the annual coins."

In an instant, everyone looked excited at first, and then turned ashen.

"Qianjie, it's going to be over if we don't get it right."

"In the hundred years of Song and Liao, there has never been such humiliation. The people of Liao will go crazy."

"What should we do? I'm afraid the army will come tomorrow."

"We'll leave overnight." Tang Ren said calmly: "We just said we would rush back to celebrate the Lantern Festival and leave immediately."

Everyone quickly packed up their things, but Tang Ren went outside and found the postman: "Those cattle and sheep are gifts from the Emperor of Liao. I am in a hurry to go home and want to sell them at a low price. You can go find someone to buy them. Good for you."

The winner will naturally get a share of the profit, and the postman went there with a smile. Not long after, he brought a few businessmen, and the last few bidders actually sold it at a good price.

Tang Ren gave him three hundred coins, and the postman was very happy and praised his generosity.

"Is there any dry food?" Tang Ren asked casually.

"Yes, you can get as many as you want." Thanks to Tang Ren's favor, the postman was very attentive.

"Let's go home and celebrate the Lantern Festival."

Tang Ren and his men disappeared into the night. The postman who got the money had already run outside. He would not come back unless he lost all his money tonight, so no one noticed the Liao official lying in the room.

The next morning, the postman who was cleaning the room found the Liao official who was still hungover. He couldn't help laughing, saying that this person was left here and would definitely be punished if he turned around.

But at noon, a group of cavalry arrived suddenly and rushed into the post house.

"Where is Ambassador Song?"

The postman said: "I left last night, saying I wanted to go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival."

The leading general looked cold and stern, waved his hand, and his men rushed into the post house.

The Liao official who had just woken up was brought in, looking confused.

"What did Ambassador Song say?"

Official Liao shook his head and thought for a moment with his hungover head, "I didn't say anything."

"Where are your documents?" Accompanying the Song envoy to return home, Liao officials must have documents. They took the documents with them to change horses and stay overnight.

"Here." Liao Guan touched his arms, and then suddenly paused...

"Where are your official uniforms?" Liao General's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The Liao official looked down at his clothes and said, "I think I'll be in the house."

A sergeant said coldly: "Several official uniforms are gone."

General Liao said coldly: "Dereliction of duty... kill him!"

Someone came forward, and the Liao official said in shock: "A certain person is not guilty..."

The Liao general said angrily: "The Song people abolished the annual currency!"

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

Choking!

The long knife was waved, and the head fell to the ground.

"Chase!"

The Liao general rushed out of the post house with his people, and the headless corpse of the Liao official collapsed behind him.

"The people of Song Dynasty actually abolished the Sui coins?"

As soon as the news spread, Yuzhou was boiling.

"Run faster!"

The population of the Liao Kingdom was sparse, and it was the New Year, so it was difficult to see pedestrians on the official roads. Only the Song Dynasty envoys were waiting and running wildly.

As for gold and silver, Xiao Dieyi was reluctant to part with this business, so he would naturally find a way to send it to the Song Dynasty.

When they arrived at a post house, a clerk dressed as a Liao official came forward and said, "There is something wrong with the Song Dynasty envoy at home. He needs to return home in a hurry. He needs a good horse as soon as possible."

"Thank you." Tang Ren threw a piece of gold. The postman couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it. He called for the best horses and prepared the best food.

Then the Song Dynasty envoy suddenly left.

Half a day later, a group of cavalry arrived. They rushed into the post house and asked, "Where is the envoy of Song?"

The postman said happily: "They said there was something urgent at home and they had to go back in a hurry, so I gave them a good horse..."

"Idiot, kill him."

This kind of drama went on all the time, and on the fifth day, General Liao saw the Baigou River...

There was a ranger of the Liao army nearby. When asked, the Liao general fell off his horse and fell unconscious on the spot.

"The Song Dynasty's delegation will pass by in less than half an hour."

Tang Ren had already seen Xiongzhou City at this moment, and he ordered: "Be on guard, send out the rangers immediately..."

"What's the meaning?"

The officials in Xiongzhou were puzzled.

The news of the abolition of the Sui currency is still being transmitted slowly. According to the procedures, it should arrive in a few days.

Tang Ren was as embarrassed as a beggar, with pain all over his body. He gritted his teeth and said: "The Song Dynasty canceled the annual coins..."

The officials were stunned. After a while, someone raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

As the shouts spread, so did the news.

"The Song Dynasty abolished the Sui coins."

"What? Really?"

"The messenger said it."

"Then it's no longer false."

"OK!"

"Finally turned over."

"..."

"alert!"

Xiongzhou was immediately heavily guarded, and scouts began to patrol the border. But even if the Liao army wanted to attack, it would take half a month to prepare.

"Go to the back and ask for reinforcements. We need a lot of reinforcements!"

In these panics, Tang Ren was as peaceful as a dream.

In the dream, he saw Shen An and Xiao Guanyin, walking hand in hand on the streets of Bianliang, with Yelu Hongji looking furious behind them.

Shen An didn't expect that he would have an admirer, and Chen Zhongheng would already be in trouble.

"Chen Douzhi survived two generations of emperors in the palace, which aroused a lot of jealousy. Those people are watching him. Now that he wants to buy a house, some people are watching the source of his money..."

Wang Chongnian was drinking hot mutton soup while talking about Chen Zhongheng's crisis.

"There are only five rooms in that house, right at Dongertiao Tianshui Lane..."

"In front of the begging market?" Shen An smiled and said, "I'm almost a neighbor with someone."

"Yes." Wang Chongnian put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, "It's close to the Imperial City, and it wasn't that expensive at first. Later, a landlord said that the omens here in Yulin Lane were good. You and your sister had nothing, so you lived here. I just made a fortune. Although Dongertiao Tianshui Lane is not Yulin Lane, you can still benefit from it. You can get rich if you live in it, regardless of others. You might even be able to win a Jinshi, so the house price has risen. With only five houses, it is actually If you dare to ask for 20,000 yuan, you are crazy."

Is this the celebrity effect?

Can someone's reputation actually lead to real estate appreciation?

Shen An couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Chen Douzhi is over there...he went to find someone to borrow money and asked for three thousand guan." Wang Chongnian sighed, feeling that Chen Zhongheng was really a fool.

It's taboo for him to borrow money from the boss of the chamberlain!

Especially borrowing money from the palace is even more taboo.

"The king knows about this and is worried that there will be trouble, so he asked someone to tell you."

Shen An nodded and said calmly: "It's just a small matter. You go back and tell him. Don't worry."

"Yes." Wang Chongnian said respectfully: "I know your methods. Chen Douzhi is really lucky to have a friend like you."

Do you want to get close to someone?

Shen An shook his head slightly. The friendship between him and Chen Zhongheng also had another meaning, which was to provide leverage.

It's taboo to make friends with a chamberlain. Now that I'm giving this information to you, Zhao Shu, you won't be suspicious, right?

Therefore, he interacted with Chen Zhongheng openly and kept nothing secret. After several years, the late Emperor Renzong did not suspect him, and Zhao Shu did not think much about it.

Shen An walked to the front yard and saw a row of icicles hanging under the eaves. He jumped up, broke one and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it loudly.

"Be careful if it falls and hurts someone."

The bottom of the icicle is sharp, and if it falls on someone's head, it's no joke.

Zhuang Laoshi said with a smile: "Originally, the villain wanted to get rid of all the Yao chains, but the young lady said that she wanted to keep them. They look good. The villain thought... if the young lady wants to see them, then just keep them."

Guoguo is everyone's darling at home, loved by everyone.

"Ahem, then... let's do this." Shen An overturned his previous words without principle, and then ordered: "Go and inquire about Chen Zhongheng's purchase of a house, UUReadingwww.uukanshu.net Let Wen Xiaozhong go. "

The news came later.

"That small courtyard is not worth 20,000 yuan. When the middle-aged man saw that the houses Chen Zhongheng was looking at were all on the edge of the imperial city, he wanted to make a lot of money."

"Chen Zhongheng didn't report his identity?" Shen An felt a little surprised. If Chen Zhongheng reported his identity, at least he wouldn't be slaughtered!

Wen Xiaozhong said: "Those middlemen are not afraid of the chamberlains. Once the chamberlains enter the palace, nothing will happen to them. The middlemen spend a lot of time dealing with the government. They will take care of the money after they earn it. How can those petty officials embarrass them? Even if they are. Even Chen Zhongheng’s orders won’t work.”

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. This is a living example.

The power of the chamberlains in the Song Dynasty was not comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, nor to that of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally no one bought it.

"Really?" Shen An said calmly: "Take so-and-so to have a look, and so-and-so will give him a good price!"

The fourth update is here, good night!
