This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 153

When the palace reacted and sent Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others to Pang Taishi's mansion, the wedding ceremony was over.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, eight large sedan chairs climbed up the dwarf hill and finally disappeared into the woods.

It's not that no one wants to follow, trying to catch up with Xianyuan, but they are all stopped by several teams.

Those from the Yang Mansion, the Pang Mansion, the Zhe Family, the subordinates of the Runan County King, and Lu Sen's own team of men in black.

No matter how powerful the master is, it is difficult to break through the interception of these teams.

Inside the short mountain, Lu Sen lifted Pang Meier's hijab and smiled softly.

Pang Meier's face was flushed, and although she was too shy, she still looked at Lu Sen bravely, her eyes gleamed brightly, as if the wind had blown up a flat lake.

Bilian approached from the side, grabbed Pang Meier's hand and said with a smile, "I knew you would marry an official with us, hehe."

Pang Meier's face turned redder.

Thinking of how much I disdained Lu Sen more than a year ago, how much I love Lu Sen now.

I still want to marry someone who is both civil and military, but now that I think about it, who else would dare to claim to be both civil and military besides my family's officials!
"Officer, would you like me to help arrange a marriage bed?" Bi Lian put Lu Sen's hand and said with a smile, "If Mei'er is not bullied, I can help Luen Zhen."

Pang Meier has been hanging out with Bilian and Jinhua for more than a year, and she has already understood a lot of 'terminology'. Hearing this, she was angry and ashamed: "You ugly girl, you are talking nonsense, wait... wait until I screw you up!" Q."

Tonight is her real bridal chamber, she doesn't want to serve officials with other women, not even good sisters.

In the future... it can be considered.

Lu Sen shook his head and said, "We will be moving in a while. There are quite a few smart people in the civil and military officials in the court. They should be able to figure out soon that there is another world in the dwarf mountains. It is estimated that there will be more people in the short hills." Find it."

In fact, it is not easy to break through the outer mechanism of the short mountain and enter the interior.

But Lu Sen didn't like being huddled in one place and letting others knock on 'outside'.

So it's better to just leave.

Pang Meier nodded and said with a smile, "I'm all listening to the officials."

Now she is very satisfied. Although she was only married as a concubine, such a scene is enough to prove Lu Sen's sincerity.

Naturally, Bilian would not object. As for Yang Jinhua, she was staying outside right now, directing those men in black at home.

What kind of people can be blocked, and to what extent, Yang Jinhua is quite experienced in this area.

And if I have to say it, Yang Jinhua is actually the woman among the three who believes and obeys Lu Sen's wishes most unconditionally.

On the other side, in the main hall of Pang Mansion, more than a dozen important officials sat opposite Grand Master Pang.

Tapping lightly with his fingers on the table, Bao Zheng sighed helplessly as he looked at Taishi Pang's calm and composed appearance, and then at the little dog lying on Taishi Pang's left shoulder.

"It turns out that Grand Master Pang knew the whereabouts of Master Lu, why didn't he tell the official a few days ago." Bao Zheng was wearing an official uniform at this time, and his speech was naturally more official: "Real Master Lu belongs to the world. Belly, it's extremely important, you actually let him go."

Grand Master Pang smiled: "Renren Lu is not a repeat offender of the court, why should I restrict him. And I really don't know the whereabouts and whereabouts of Reverend Lu."

Sitting next to him, Ouyang Xiu cupped his hands and said, "But Grand Master Pang can ask him to tell me where he lives. Isn't he marrying your granddaughter? Knowing Uncle Sun's address is not an excessive request, is it?"

Beside him were several important ministers under Zhongshu's sect, who nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Grand Master Pang said indifferently: "Really Lu is just taking concubines, not marrying wives. If a woman is a concubine, once she leaves the house, her surname will no longer be Pang. You should also understand."

The concubine's status at this time is very low, and it is normal for people to give gifts back and forth.

Therefore, Taishi Pang's "fallacy" is completely tenable.

But Bao Zheng said: "Guan Pang Taishi also has a spirit beast on his shoulder. I don't think it's just a concubine, and Master Lu will give such an important thing. Only those who are recognized by Master Lu, the more important relatives will get this kind of Strange things, such as Marshal Mu. Therefore, I don’t think that Lu Zhenren simply regards your granddaughter as a concubine.”

Grand Master Pang laughed twice, and said, "Do you all think that my granddaughter, who is nothing but pretty, can be 'worth' a fairy beast?"

The crowd frowned.

From the heart, no one thinks that Pang Meier has this value.

Even if she is the most favored little lady in the Pang Mansion, she is still not worth it.

Because Lu Zhenren didn't value power at all, it was impossible for him to use the young lady of Napang's family as his concubine to gain the favor and support of Grand Master Pang.

Seeing that these people were moved by his words, Taishi Pang turned his attention to Bao Zheng, and said with a smile: "Besides, Zhifu Bao has no married daughters, and he is not close to Master Lu, but he also has a black cat spirit." Beast, what reason do you say?"

Oh... Everyone looked at Bao Zheng.

Almost everyone in the court knew that Master Lu was extremely 'concerned' about Bao Zheng.

"It's nothing more than prefect Bao's conduct is upright, doing things for the people and the world." Grand Master Pang stroked his beard proudly, and said arrogantly: "Although my official reputation is not as good as that of Prefect Bao, but in terms of serving the country and the people, he is also worthy of the title." Not too much difference. Therefore, Lu Zhenren also gave me a fairy beast, which is very reasonable and reasonable. Could it be that I, Pang, are doing the state affairs of the world, so I am so short of the magistrate, the difference between cloud and mud?"

When more than a dozen civil officials heard this, they all scolded the old fox in their hearts, but they couldn't refute it.

Although Grand Master Pang was a bit tougher as an official, he had indeed done a lot of things that benefited the people's livelihood, which cannot be discredited or ignored.

Bao Zheng once again experienced Pang Taishi's venomous tongue.

In fact, since the death of the Eight Sage Kings, the friction between the two factions has become less serious, and Grand Master Pang has also restrained his edge in the court.

But now, it popped up again, speaking word by word, so that others dare not retaliate casually.

Bao Zheng sighed again. During this period of time, he did not know how many times he sighed: "Since Grand Master Pang refuses to help, I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, Bao Zheng turned and left.

Seeing that Bao Zheng had left, more than a dozen other ministers also left.

Grand Master Pang sat without getting up to see off the guests. After everyone left, he touched the little dog on his shoulder, and smiled triumphantly: "The more you do this, the farther away Master Lu will be from you. I understand, you only want to let Master Lu give to the world, but you never think about how you should repay him."

Bao Zheng went out of the door, cupped his hands behind him, and said: "Everyone, I'm going back to Kaifeng Mansion first, and I'll talk about things tomorrow."

Ugh!
Many people were sighing, they all wanted to let Zhenren Lu go back to Beijing, after all, they had suffered from several illnesses, big and small, over the past year.

Only after this person has tasted the pain will he deeply understand how important a healthy body is.

Although Master Lu left a "Rejuvenation Banner" in Xingqing Mansion, that place is too far away from here. First, there is not so much time to go there to soak up the immortal energy. I'm young, in case there is a small wind and a small fever along the way, for old people like them, it may be a reminder.

What's more, Huichun Banner is firmly controlled by the Zhe family, and civil servants have to bow to the Zhe family if they want to get rid of the fairy spirit.

Wen bowed his head to Wu?
They're a little reluctant.

When Bao Zheng returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he quickly took off his official uniform in the backyard, and then called Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists in the red robe and asked, "Prefect, call me down, but you have government affairs to hand over?"

Bao Zheng looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "Butou Zhan, you should know the whereabouts of Master Lu."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a while, then nodded, "It's not clear, but it can be deduced where he should appear. If the Xiaguan did not make a mistake, he should be in the city after an hour. Off to the boat."

As a head catcher, Zhan Zhao has a strong observation ability, and at the same time, he knows the whole Bianjing city very well. In fact, after asking and investigating Lu Sen's return route in the past few days, he also knows it clearly.

Even touched an exit of the short mountain tunnel.

It's just that he didn't tell anyone about it. After all, Lu Sen is his friend, and he won't betray his good friend casually.

However, when Bao Zheng asked, he could only answer truthfully.

After all, Prefect Bao is also someone he respects very much.

"Take me to guard him." Bao Zheng stood up and walked out.

Zhan Zhao didn't move, he bent his body slightly and clasped his fists and asked, "Fujun, are you going to meet Master Lu in an official capacity, or in private?"

Bao Zheng looked back at Zhan Zhao: "If you were an official, you wouldn't lead the way, would you?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Realist Lu did not bully the people, nor did he betray Song Dynasty. He is not a criminal, and should not be chased by the court."

"Don't worry, I'm wearing regular clothes." Bao Zheng sighed, "I just want to chat with him as an elder."

Zhan Zhao straightened his body, said with a smile, "Then don't worry, the magistrate, please wait for me to change my clothes."

Afterwards, the two horses rushed out of Kaifeng Mansion and headed out of the city.

Although Bao Zheng is a civil servant, he is also very good at riding horses.

The six arts of a gentleman, except that he is not very good at shooting, he has learned all the others well.Although he is usually very serious, when there is no one in the back house in private, he will often play the piano to relieve boredom.

Piano is pretty good.

The two fast horses left the city quickly and walked downstream along the path of the Bianshui River. After about half a stick of incense, they saw a painting boat parked on the bank of the river, and a group of people were walking on the boat.

"Just in time." Zhan Zhao smiled.

Bao Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he soon saw Lu Sen who was about to board the boat on the shore. He rode his horse and trotted over, then got off his horse and stood in front of Lu Sen.

"I didn't expect to see Secret Envoy Bao in this place." Lu Sen cupped his hands and smiled, then looked at Zhan Zhao: "Xiong Fei, I'm really sorry, I have already come to the capital, but I didn't go to see you to reminisce about the old days."

Zhan Zhao waved his hands indifferently: "I know that Lu Xiaolang has difficulties, and besides, don't blame me for bringing Zhifu here."

"I understand." Lu Sen looked at the clothes of the two of them, and said with a smile: "The one you brought here is only Bao Xiren, not Bao Zhifu. You have already taken my friend's face into consideration."

Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Sen looked at Bao Zheng again, and said with a smile, "I don't know if Bao Zhifu has chased you here, what advice do you have?"

Bao Zheng sized Lu Sen up for a while, then put his hands behind his back, and asked, "If this old man kneels down and begs you to stay in the capital, would you be willing, Master Lu?"

Lu Sen smiled, and there was some sarcasm on his face: "A man has gold under his knees. When he is not kneeling, it is very valuable. But once he kneels, it is just two ordinary knee bones. Prefect Bao, I have always respected you as a human being, please don't do such despicable things."

"If you can change your stay in Beijing by kneeling, so what if I kneel." Bao Zheng shook his head disappointedly: "It's just that you have a hard heart."

Lu Sen's face was startled: "Don't, the word "hard-hearted" is not my turn, first cut down all the officials in the court, and then it may be my turn."

Bao Zheng frowned. Lu Sen's words were even more radical than the phrase "ashamed to be with cowards" a year ago.

"It's been more than a year, and you're still angry about dismissing your supervisor?" Bao Zheng asked.

Lu Sen grinned slightly, and now the sarcasm on his face was very obvious: "Prefect Bao, please don't pretend that you don't understand the reason. Even if it's inconvenient to say it, just don't say it, why deceive yourself. "

Bao Zheng was stunned for a long time. In the past, he was the one who dared to speak out about injustice and denounced those officials who covered up the truth.

But now, he is playing the kind of person he despised in the past.

Inexplicably, he had a sense of irony lingering in his heart.

After a while, Bao Zheng said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about it. The old man hopes that you can return to Beijing. All the officials and officials in the court cannot do without your fairy fruit, and the fairy rice seeds will be harvested by the court." Management will make it easier for people to win people."

Hearing this, Lu Sen laughed: "All officials cannot live without my fruit, so can others? What's the difference between giving it to officials and giving it to the common people?"

Bao Zheng frowned, and he said: "Officials educate the people. If they are healthy and live longer, more Li people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Ha!" Lu Sen laughed: "Then you will kill 10,000+ soldiers, right?"

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows lightly: "So, Master Lu, you still care about the fact that Wang Pingjian's fault was not punished? Then I can make the decision..."

"No, Prefect Bao, you didn't understand the point of my words at all." Lu Sen waved his hand and said, "I don't care about whether Wang Jiefu was punished or not, but about the Northern Expedition to Xixia. From the beginning to the end, your civil officials did not One point is correct. For your little thoughts, you changed the order day and night, and killed 10,000+ soldiers first, and in the process, I can see clearly that you did not regard the lives of soldiers as human lives. "

"It is only natural for soldiers to defend their homes and the country..."

Lu Sen blocked Bao Zheng with his hand and continued: "Prefect Bao, in my eyes, officials' lives are their lives, scholars' lives are their lives, common people's lives are their lives, and the lives of the tattooed Qiu Ba are also their lives!"

"There is no high or low."
