"I have an approval note, a hundred boxes of fairy flowers, Bubble Bobble..."

"It's not two kicks! Bang bang bang bang, right! The monkeys in the sky..."

"Go away! I want 200 boxes of Dragon Ball Thunder, how much is the number of Dahuahua..."

The merchants from all walks of life shouted hoarsely, almost crushing the warehouse door. Although the fireworks craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty has a long history, the patterns are very poor, and there are no colorful fireworks, and the fireworks made by the government Once it came out, working overtime was not enough to sell.

"Shooting the Moon! How about the sales of Liuli and Jizhaohuo..."

Zhao Guanren led a group of people through the street. They were all dressed in dark green army cloaks with black hooded sweaters inside. Dozens of people were all wearing hoods, and they couldn't tell who was who. Not only did it reduce the possibility of him being assassinated, but the people looking for him through the back door would not recognize him.

"It's the end of the year! Everything is easy to sell, and a batch of fires will come out and take away a batch..."

Li Sheyue followed with a smile and said, "The sales of fireworks are amazing, and the price has tripled. It's not because of us that it has to skyrocket. The second is the scratch card in tobacco. Some people even buy scratch cards if they don't smoke, but The food of the household is a bit ugly, so I sent troops to guard the door to pull money!"

"Let them pull..."

Zhao Guanren smiled nonchalantly: "You said it's the end of the year, all the yamen want to come and get some oil and water, the sausages I made by myself let them go, and I don't have to offend anyone with the Ministry of Household guarding me. , by the way! How much salaries have you paid in total?"

"Half a month! A total of 2,630,000 taels were handed in, and the emperor was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth..."

Li Sheyue said in a low voice: "Master Xu let me inform you, the Ministry of War wants money like crazy, the Ministry of Household is holding more than half of life and death, and the Ministry of Industry also wants to hold back a group, almost in front of the emperor. Let's fight, and the emperor also wants you to pay more, and is discussing how much to increase!"

"Look! Even if we turn in 10 million a month, they'll feel less..."

Zhao Guanren raised his head in disdain. There was a long line of floats parked on Tianhe Street. Kabuki geishas from all over the world were performing hard, attracting countless crowds to watch. This is the Internet celebrity of the Tang Dynasty. Those who are popular will be sent to perform in front of the emperor.

"That's a big one, it looks like a professional..."

Zhao Guanren pointed to an oversized float on which dozens of geisha were singing and dancing, while Li Sheyue smiled and said: "The float in Yongxin County, Jizhou, they sang the ancient song "Yong Bride", Yichun Half of the court's oiran are from Yongxin County, and they are second in the list almost every year!"

"Get out of the way! Don't get in the way..."

Suddenly!

A large number of prison carts came from outside the city, and the soldiers who were escorting the carts yelled at the people. Not only were the prison cars packed with prisoners and officers, but many prisoners of war followed on foot, and the people who were immersed in joy then remembered, There is a war going on in the southwest.

"Hey! Soldier slaves, where did you bring people..."

Zhao Guanren showed his goldfish bag and walked over, and a soldier quickly clasped his fists and said, "Sir! Some of these people are deserters from Nanzhao, some are criminal officials who have colluded with enemy bandits, and even their family members have been copied, and a group of Tibetans have also been arrested. sent prisoners to stand trial!”

"Fortunately! What happened to the Southwest War..."

Zhao Guanren threw two silver beans to the other party, and the other party shouted gratefully: "Thank you, sir! I have waited for some time to set off. I heard that various armies have rushed to help Jiannan Road, and the Tubo rebels have suspended their offensive. It is said that the Renovated west of Kennan Road!"

"Go! Have a good rest

…”

Zhao Guanren waved his hand lightly, Nanzhao Road has been completely occupied, it is a very large area, covering almost half of Southeast Asia, and Jiannan Road is the Bashu area, indicating that Tubo has gone out of Yunnan and Guizhou, and is eating in Bashu. hot pot.

"What are you looking at?"

A scolding sounded suddenly, Zhao Guanren was looking at the prisoners in the car, the familiar accent almost made him conditioned, he raised his head and stared: "What are you doing?"

"Take another look, and the eyeballs will be pulled out for you..."

A little girl from the Northeast slammed on the prison bar, stretched out her hand and pointed at him fiercely, and the car was full of female prisoners with disheveled hair, but Zhao Guanren was stunned for a while before realizing that many female prisoners were not fully clothed. There was a man without pants next to them.

"Stop! All for me to stop..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly raised his hand and shouted, but they were all cloaks of a navy army, and it wasn't because the locals couldn't understand their identities. The officers here are all prisoners of war, do you just stop when you say stop?"

"Stop if you say stop..."

Li Sheyue walked out arrogantly, showing her golden waist badge and shouting coquettishly: "The Minister of Works, the official sponsor, the surname Luo Ninggong, the magic envoy of the Datang Town Magic Department, and the Incense Management Department Commander-in-chief, the imperial consort of the court, Li Zhiping, Master Li, yes!"

“…”

The general has been stunned with his mouth open. He has never heard such a long, so many official names.

"Oops~ I'm done, what a long official name..."

The face of the little girl in the northeast changed suddenly, and her companion also said in horror: "It's miserable! This is a high-ranking official. The master said that the longer the name, the bigger the background. I told you not to cause trouble, God Capital. There are uncles everywhere, how can this be good?"

"Down!"

Zhao Guanren beckoned to the generals, pointed to a cart of female prisoners and asked, "You are fighting in the southwest, why did you capture a cart of women from the northeast? These are Khitans... No! These are from the Jurchen clan, right?"

"Uh~ Big, you are really knowledgeable..."

The generals quickly dismounted from their horses and bowed their hands in salute, saying: "This car is the female relatives of criminal officials in Jiannan Road, who were taken because of their collusion with the Tibetans. They are from Heishui, and their ancestors are all Heishui Mohes, which were called by the Khitan people in the previous dynasty. For the Jurchen, this dynasty is regarded as a Han Chinese!"

"My lord! You're wronged..."

The little girls suddenly knelt up and shouted loudly, "My father did not collude with the Tubo bandits, he is just a small county magistrate of Qipin, and because he angrily scolded Zhechong's mansion for eating empty wages, which led to the loss of many passes one after another, they It is really unfair to frame my father for collaborating with the enemy!"

"Yo~ what's up..."

Zhao Guanren walked over with his hands behind his back, and asked with a smirk, "Are you not a tiger just now, are you trying to cut me? It's very pissing, why did you kneel all of a sudden, the lid of the porridge is bald. Well, look at your slaughter, are you still bullshitting?"

"Hey mom~uncle! My fellow townsman..."

The little girls grabbed the hem of his clothes and said excitedly: "Uncle! The eldest niece has pus in her ditch—it hurts her eyes. Your lord doesn't remember the villain, but the eldest niece really didn't talk shit, please. Help our family to be the master of the grievances, and I will repay you as a bull and a horse, okay?"

"Hey~ you son of a turtle, what are you doing, I'm an authentic Henan native..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and clapped her hands away, turned around and asked people to pass their papers, turned it over and said, "If you really didn't talk about it, this official will definitely return you to innocence, otherwise I will wait. Let the whole family be executed, and the offender will be taken to Dali Temple, and the female relatives will be detained in separate prisons!"

"Here!"

The general hurriedly waved his hand and started back on the road, but the little girls hurriedly said: "Uncle! My father's name is Zhu Mingtang, and your eldest niece's name is Zixia, twenty-nine years old, unmarried,

I will repay you well! "

"Damn! Zixia, I still have the supreme treasure..."

Zhao Guanren interrupted her in disbelief, but when he turned his head, he found several flatbed carriages, only to see Lu Poyan lying ill on a pile of straw, one left arm was broken at the elbow, and he pretended to be concerned shouted: "Lu Popi, how did you get hurt like this?"

"My lord! Avenge me..."

Lu Poyan cried and sat up, crying with grief: "The Sun-shooting Sect are all madmen, I have killed more than a thousand people in Taiyi Dao, and only more than a hundred came back, and Tianyangzi also Let them be captured alive, you must avenge us!"

"You calm down!"

Zhao Guanren quickly supported him and said: "You are the right envoy of my Suppressing Demon, and I will definitely avenge you if something goes wrong, but you are a great master, and your uncles are also good hands. Why didn't one come back?"

"My lord! I'm not lying to you, they can witchcraft..."

Lu Poyan said excitedly: "There are many masters of the Sunshine Cult, but we still managed to enter the altar, but then they activated the ecstasy formation, trapping us in it and unable to escape. There are tens of thousands of mad believers. Don't kill me, besiege me and wait, even if I get cut down, I'm still laughing, it's scary!"

"I'm so sorry!"

Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Tiger Mighty Army has already started, and our company has dispatched troops to assist you. We will definitely avenge you all. You go back and recover from your injuries. If you can walk down the ground, you will definitely come to me tomorrow. Let's have wedding wine at home!"

"I must go, and I must go when I crawl..."

Lu Poyan nodded again and again, moved, Zhao Guanren waved his hand to let the carriage take them away, but suddenly he heard a crackling sound, only to see a float set off fireworks, attracting everyone's attention, but also pulled away The curtain revealed a statue of a god.

"Look, my lord, the statue of Houyi, they are a sun-shooting cult..."

Li Sheyue shouted in surprise. The idol is in the shape of a man bending a bow to shoot a giant eagle. scattered, leaving the geishas on the float dumbfounded.

"Don't drink the bow and snake shadow, the one who bends the bow is Hou Yi, and it's Guo Jing, isn't it? Besides, isn't it written on the car, the Emperor Shenwu who restored the Tang Dynasty..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and walked back, Li Sheyue had no choice but to follow with pouting, but he added, "Don't always follow me, I'm going to get married tomorrow, ask your mother to go shopping, more Buy some gold and silver jewelry, and don't let two second-hand brides steal the show!"

"Don't say it's second-hand, you've already been called a second-hand concubine. Besides, I'm a concubine, so how can I get the most out of me, but I'll buy some more, hee hee..."

Li Sheyue happily ran away with a few people, just as a few more eunuchs came to the palace, flatteringly invited Zhao Guanren to the Huacalyx Xianghui Building, Zhao Guanren knew that the emperor was "bribery" as soon as he heard it, and there was not much reconstruction. The Calyx Tower of the year will only be opened during festivals.

"Go! Go and see the number one building in the world..."

Zhao Guanren strode toward the royal garden, but in a house not far away, a large group of people were kneeling on the ground and worshiping, not only muttering words in their mouths, but also the direction of worship was not elsewhere, it was the tall statue The "Hou Yi" statue.

"Are all the halls ready..."

A man in a gray cloak slowly got up, and someone whispered from behind: "Altar Master! Everything is ready, tomorrow will only wait for your order. The day of Yin Zhiping's wedding will be his death. At that time, it will definitely be called that fellow doomed!"

"Go on! The Zhao family must die. Let's add another fire to this turbulent Tang Dynasty..."
