Liang Chuan and Yeluhan went to find the intelligence team member who had come to Bianjing to find Zheng Ruoying's whereabouts. The team had special secret codes for communication. All they had to do now was to find these secret codes.
Where to find these secret codes in this huge city, we can only explore slowly.
The two of them were not so much looking for passwords as they were walking around Bianjing City. They walked for a long time without any duplicates. Liang Chuan became more and more discouraged as they walked. Every street and alley was without duplicates. There were countless others after passing one, and the vast sea Where can I find this needle?
It was getting late, and Liang Chuan suggested that he could only go back to Sijun Pavilion and start looking from another direction tomorrow. Try to search all over Bianjing City in a few days.
The two of them returned to Sijun Pavilion, and there was a dejected scholar squatting at the door. His skin was black, and his head was almost buried in his thighs. Frustration and loss were all written on his face. Who else could it be if he wasn't covered in black charcoal?
Why did this kid come back again? Did something happen?
Liang Chuan went up to him, squatted next to him, and pushed Bao Heitan with his elbow, and Bao Heitan came to his senses.
"Didn't you go to the Imperial Academy, why did you come back to Sijun Pavilion? Did something happen?"
Bao Heitan felt like he was mourning for his heir. If Liang Chuan hadn't comforted him, he would have shed tears and said, "It's all my fault for not listening to you. I was cheated just now and all my money is gone!"
Liang Chuan thought that this was probably the case, and smiled: "Have you eaten yet?"
The money for the black charcoal package was all gone. It turned out that Bao Zheng still didn’t believe in evil. He had already taken the golden Buddha to the pawn shop and showed it to Chao Feng. It was covered with brass on the outside and full of iron inside. It took Chao Feng a month to see this kind of condition. Many times, every time I just glanced at him and sent him away with a smile.
Bao Heitan looked around and was even more confused than Liang Chuan. He was a well-educated man with a lofty ideal, but he was teased like this by a group of seemingly uneducated bosses. After that, he was admitted to an official position and passed on. A laughing stock in officialdom?
More importantly, where should I put this face?
Liang Chuan greeted Bao Heitan upstairs and kept cheering him up. He ordered a few dishes in the restaurant and had good rice wine, but there was no taste at all in Bao Heitan's mouth.
When this kind of thing happens, we can only say that we lack social experience and are too careless. It is not completely useless. Just be more careful after paying the tuition. Will you still be deceived by this kind of scam in the future?
However, Bao Heitan still couldn't open his heart. He spent the entire night feeling extremely self-blame. He thought that he had read poetry and books and knew as much truth as anyone else, but when he arrived in Bianjing, he fell into such despicable and despicable ways. This scam is simply a disgrace to our reputation.
Liang Chuan laughed when he saw his appearance and taught him a lesson.
This kind of routine is often encountered in later generations. In the past, people at the grassroots level often came to report crimes. Liang Chuan also didn't expect that this deception was so ancient. It had been used a thousand years ago. It has been timeless and timeless, and it is not uncommon for people to fall into the trap.
This routine is a very typical routine for digging out gold at a construction site! Pretending to dig up old gold, several people conspired to plot against an outsider, falsely claiming that the person who saw it had a share, and then one party sold the gold and the other gave money. The person who gave the money spent a small amount of money in exchange for a pile of fake gold, thinking that he had made a profit, but in fact the gold They are all fake, taking advantage of people's greed, but anyone with a normal heart knows that if it is really too late to hide the gold, how can it be sold at a low price!
In fact, Bao Heitan was not greedy, he was just kind-hearted and was taken advantage of. The two old men's acting skills were top-notch and moved Bao Heitan to tears. Bao Heitan sat at the wine table gloomily without saying a word.
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "If you were deceived because of greed, then I will look down on you, which means you are a greedy villain! But you are kind-hearted and let them take advantage of it. I want to tell you, be kind in life and save money." It’s something external to the body. I would rather lose money than lose my conscience. I would rather be cheated than always be a kind person.”
Bao Heitan savored Liang Chuan's words. They seemed simple but seemed to contain a profound philosophy of life. He drank the wine with Li and drank the rice wine in one gulp. A smile finally appeared on his face!
Liang Chuan told him a lot of truths along the way, but most of them went in one ear and out the other, and advice was always so offensive. How many young people can tolerate the experience of old people?
Bao Heitan laughed at himself: "I always thought I knew a lot of truths. After getting along with you this time, I realized that I am not as good as a three-year-old child. The world is treacherous and treacherous. Third brother, you are very knowledgeable yet calm. I respect you very much." "
Liang Chuan said: "No, I should be the one who respects you. You are a young scholar and will be a high official in the Golden Palace for the benefit of the people in the future. Being an official is like being a human being. Don't lose your true nature because of greed for small profits. You must Stick to your original intention and be a person of benefit to the people from now on. No matter how many principles I know, what's the use? I can't benefit the people. At most, I can't be fooled!"
Bao Heitan fell into deep thought again. Liang Chuan seemed to be teaching him something, and he seemed to have touched the threshold but not fully understood it. .
Liang Chuan thought to himself, you are Bao Heitan now, but in the future you will be Bao Gong Bao Qingtian. Only after you have been deceived have you realized how hateful this deceptive trick is. Try your own way to try the law. In the future, you must be aware of everything and enforce the law impartially!
People are like this. When they are depressed, they most need someone to relieve them. The two of them were talking, one because he had no clue about finding someone, and the other was deceived. Each talked about what was on his mind, and his mood was obviously much better.
While he was eating, a burst of teasing sounds from the waiter suddenly came from the restaurant's wing. Liang Chuan followed the sound and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man with a child, standing at the door of the wing in despair. His status was obvious. He is not an ordinary person, because the material on his body is made of mercerized satin, and his innate temperament cannot be imitated by ordinary people.
They must have encountered something, and even a shop waiter with the lowest social status could point their noses and curse.
The child was irritated and replied angrily: "How dare you insult my father? We are descendants of the Zhao family. When I, Zhao Zongshi, grow up, I will tear down this shop of yours!"
Zhao Zongshi!
Liang Chuan suddenly trembled when he heard the name! Zhao Zongshi, this is not an ordinary name. It will have another meaning in the future. It will become the name of the fifth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty!
The waiter in the shop said angrily: "You guys are just eating and drinking and paying homage to the Zhao clan. Aren't you bringing discredit on the faces of today's officials? Stop talking nonsense. The person who paid for it has gone away, so you can eat and drink too." Drink it, you have to pay for this meal!"
The father of the child is a little embarrassed. The last thing a father wants to do is to fail in front of his own child! But even in such a situation, this Zhao family clan member was still happy and even praised Bao Heitan. This person is not a simple person.
Liang Chuan stood up and walked to the side of the three of them. He looked at the child with a spring breeze on his face, and then at the child's father. The child's father was only about thirty years old. He had a beard on his face but looked very elegant. At this time But he was also sitting at the table with a look of embarrassment on his face, his aura was not as strong as that of a naive kid like Zhao Zongshi.
Liang Chuan understood the situation as soon as he saw it, and then turned to the waiter with a straight face and asked coldly: "I invited Mr. Zhao to have a drink in the evening, and I just went out for a while. Who are you to challenge Mr. Zhao? What if we can’t afford this meal?”
Zhao Zongshi's father felt warm in his heart. This man, whom he had never met before, came forward. He didn't look like a wealthy person, and the meal money was not a small amount. This made him worried for Liang Chuan.
"This little friend, you..."
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "Meal money is nothing, but since you are my friend, why should I just sit back and ignore my friend when he is in trouble?"
Even the child Zhao Zongshi was very grateful after hearing these words.
Liang Chuan paid the waiter a penny for the meal. The waiter took the money and nodded and got out. Liang Chuan smiled and bowed respectfully, and then said to the child's father: "Master Zhao, I don't know what to do." call?"
The child's father also bowed and said: "Don't call me an adult, just call me Zhao Yunrang!"
Liang Chuan did not dare to make a mistake and said: "It turns out that Zhao Yun asked Mr. Zhao to do this. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. I dare to ask Mr. Zhao to move the table and tell me!"
Zhao Yunrang said: "You're welcome."
The group of people walked to Liang Chuan's table, and there happened to be a seat left. Zhao Yunrang sat down with Zhao Zongshi in his arms.
The naughty Zhao Zongshi is about three or four years old, with exceptionally bright eyes and a sense of intelligence everywhere.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Zongshi stared at Bao Heitan with his little eyes, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, this uncle is so black, he looks like a charcoal head!"
Zhao Yunrang straightened his face and immediately scolded: "It's rude, how can you comment on someone's appearance like this? As an elder, you should greet him with courtesy. Please apologize to him quickly."
Before Zhao Zongshi could apologize, Zhao Yun allowed himself to stand up with gratitude, saluted Bao Heitan first, and looked at Bao Heitan with an apologetic expression, his expression sincere and completely unpretentious.
When Bao Heitan heard that the other party was a member of the clan and was being treated with such courtesy, he quickly sat up and returned the courtesy to Zhao Yunrang: "Master Zhao, don't bear it in mind, children's words are unbridled!"
Zhao Yunrang took the jug and poured a glass of wine. He saluted everyone and said, "I've made you all laugh today. It's hard to explain in words. But fortunately, this friend came to the rescue. Don't you know your name?"
Liang Chuan and Bao Heitan reported his name, while Yeluhan only reported his identity. What surprised everyone was that this Zhao Yunrang was really a very valuable clan. He was the fourth son of Emperor Taizong Zhao Er and was ranked third in the lineage of Shang Wang Zhao Wufen.
However, although Lao Zhao ranks third, his worth is much lower!
The only difference between the Zhao and Song clans compared to the Zhu clan of the Ming Dynasty is that Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did not arrange his descendants so thoughtfully. Even the virtuous king Zhao Weixian had to be sent out to work. Zhao Yunrang probably did not gain much benefit.
In the evening, a few businessmen in Bianjing City specially invited Zhao Yunrang to a banquet in order to provide themselves with money. Zhao Yunrang was not a person who liked the excitement, but he thought that if he could make friends with a few businessmen, he would be able to do some small business by participating in stocks. Let’s take a look at the urgent needs of the moment.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, several businessmen made excuses to escape during the banquet, leaving Zhao Yunrang to be teased by the waiter and forced to pay for the meal.
Zhao Yunrang was honest and loyal, but he didn't expect to be so thoughtful. He didn't have so much money when he was asked to do it, so the situation was embarrassing.
Liang Chuan didn't have any thoughts about Zhao Yunrang, but he knew that Zhao Zongshi, Zhao Yunrang's son, was not an ordinary person.
Poor Renzong gave birth to several princes who unfortunately died in infancy. In order to continue the empire, he had no choice but to choose princes from the clan, and he picked this little clever guy.
What does it mean to live in a rare place? This is a place to live in. In this life, Liang Chuan never thought that he would be able to meet the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, and he happened to give them and his son a life-saving help. It seems that their current family situation is not very good, and he has to catch it now. Take this opportunity and invest hard. In the future, when Zhao Zongshi becomes emperor, will he not forget his own faults?
After drinking and eating, Heitan Tou asked Zhao Yun about the location of the Imperial College and prepared to leave the next day. There were many royal relatives like Zhao Yunrang in Bianjing City, and there was nothing outstanding about them. He really couldn't get interested in spending time with him.
Zhao Yunrang, who was born and raised in Bianjing, naturally knew the geography and location of the place very well, and immediately pointed it out to Bao Heitan.
Zhao Yunrang was extremely humble and very grateful to Liang Chuan for his help at night. He even left his home address and made sure Liang Chuan came to visit him.
This is the real royal palace. Common people call it a residence. They call it a mansion. Liang Chuan thought that the person who kidnapped Zheng Ruoying to Bianjing was also a member of the royal family. Maybe he was someone they knew. If they knew more about it, they might be able to find out. What news is coming.
He had been busy during the day, and his brothers from the intelligence team had already come to inquire about it, but they could not get any information at all. He had no clue in the vast sea, and one more day spent on Zheng Ruoying meant one more day of danger, and Liang Chuan was also very anxious!
Zheng Ruoying, Zheng Ruoying, where are you?
