At the gate of the house.
Kou Ji carried his back with one hand and a folding fan in the other, looking back at the horizontal plaque on the door lintel.
Two words on the plaque.
Kou Mansion.
The simple two words represent Kou Ji's confidence.
He straightened his back subconsciously and tried to make himself more of a family of officials.
He wanted to solve the trouble caused by Kou Li, although he could not rely on the power of Kou Mansion, but Kou Mansion still had to borrow its name.
In the eyes of Coli, the misfortune caused by Coli was just a small matter.
But Kou Ji knew that this matter was not trivial.
The water inside is deep.
Deep enough, Cole couldn't see what was underwater.
When Kou Li was in Huazhou Township, he was just a poor scholar. Although there were big figures like Kou Zhun in his clan, he had nothing to do with Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun could not always help him. During the New Year's Day, give some things to the clan and let the clan elders distribute them so that he can follow along.
So fundamentally speaking, Coulee is a poor person after all, a poor person who is so poor that he needs to pawn his family stuff to support his travel expenses.
Since he recognized Kou Zhun as his father, the poor become rich, and it is inevitable that he will be infected with the habits of some upstarts.
It is a pity that his insight, strategy, courage, etc. have not kept up.
When he ran around with Kou Zhun before, his meager insights could still be used.
But when he entered the power field of Bianjing City, his meager insights and strategies were somewhat stretched.
So much so that it was played around by others.
This is like a sheep. When it was mixed in the flock, it was like a fish in the water. When it suddenly arrived in the wolves, it would soon be swallowed and there would be no dregs left.
Kou Ji is different. He is far broader than Kou Li in terms of insight, courage, and strategy.
So what he can see clearly at a glance, Coulee may not be able to see clearly.
Coulee regarded this incident as a trivial matter for the parents from beginning to end.
But what Kou Ji saw was a cannibalistic event.
Who is Kou Zhun
The veterans of the two dynasties worshipped the prime minister four times, and the official residence first grade (the official residence first grade here does not refer to the prime minister, and Kou Zhun does not only have the prime minister's authority).
A stomped, Bianjing city is going to tremble three-pointers.
Is a person who dares to spend time on layouts and calculations, is a role that can be easily dealt with
What Kou Ji has to do now is to dig out the person hiding behind and figure out the purpose of this person.
Kou Ji now understands why Wang Shu's face was full of smiles when he heard him ask to see Kou Li.
Because from Coulee's mouth, he only heard the most superficial news, and Coulee didn't know the root cause.
Until now, Coley still didn't know that he was calculated by others, let alone the real purpose of others calculating him.
Kou Ji didn't know whether he should be happy or sad for having such a father.
With such a shallow-minded and cheap father, he doesn't need to work hard to hide his identity as a traveler in front of Coli. He only needs to make a small plan, which is enough to make Coli not have any doubts about him.
However, with such a shallow-minded and cheap father, he shouldn't even think about enjoying wealth and wealth in Bianjing. He couldn't count on his cheap father to help him shelter from the wind and rain, and he had to go shirtless to help his cheap father shelter from the wind and rain.
"Hey~"
Kou Ji sighed, turned the folding fan in his hand, and walked out of Maxing Street.
Er Bao followed him, and asked, "Master, it's getting late, where are we going?"
"Wine restaurants, tea houses, and foot shops, respectively, go around and appreciate the beauty of Bianjing City."
Kou Ji responded casually.
Er Bao nodded straightly.
The long chase who followed behind their master and servant, carrying money, looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly.
He was not an ordinary long-time follower, his father was the first group of loyal servants to follow Kou Zhun, and he himself had followed Kou Zhun for many years.
Erbao didn't understand Kou Ji's intention to go to the wine shop and other places, but he did.
Historically, these places are the most convenient places to inquire about news.
The city of Bianjing is very large, hiding many secrets.
The city of Bianjing is also very small, and many secrets cannot be hidden.
The places where many secrets first flow out are the wine shops, tea houses and foot shops on the street.
The Maxing Street where Kou’s Mansion is located is dedicated to vehicles and horses. It is relatively quiet and has few shops.
Kou Ji was looking for a place with a lot of wine shops, so he came to Maxing Street, went through the alley between Daxiangguo Temple and Jingling Palace, and headed to Yujie.
Royal Street is far more prosperous than Maxing Street.
As soon as Kou Ji set foot on the Royal Street, he saw a foot shop and a wine shop.
The foot shops are mostly tenants and long-term workers in the past. They will ask for a bowl of tea from the shop, or squat, or sit, and chat together in groups.
In contrast, the customers in the wine shop are richer than them.
Most of them are servants of the rich and powerful families. They have one or two small money rewarded by their masters. They gather in groups of three or five to order two pots of wine, one plate of wine and food, and the parents who can blow for a long time by sitting together. Li's short.
Dressing as Kou Ji is naturally inappropriate to go to the foot shop.
So he chose a seat in the wine shop.
At the greeting of Xiaoer, he asked for a pot of sweet wine and a plate of boiled beans. He sat in the restaurant and ate and drank without saying a word.
This sitting is half an hour.
After half an hour, he asked Chang Suo to pay, and then took Erbao and Chang Suo to the next house.
On the way, Er Bao scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Master, why don't we eat and drink in one store, but run back and forth instead."
Kou Ji took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your young master, I, I came out today to taste it. The taste is good, and I will patronize him often in the future. If the taste is not good, I will definitely never come again.
We will live in the city of Bianjing in the future. Eating is the top priority, so we shouldn't be careless. "
Er Bao scratched his head again, and said: "But that one just tasted good."
"Maybe the next one will taste better."
"..."
The master and servant chatted without a word.
Soon to the next one.
…
In this way, the three people walked in and out of the wine shop, foot shop, and tea house on the Royal Street, until the evening before they reached the end of the Royal Street.
Erbao ate delicious today, ate it wide, and ate a lot of things.
When I came to the street, my belly was round and round like a puffy pig urine bubble.
Kou Ji didn't eat much, because he didn't put his mind on eating.
After an afternoon of probing, Kou Jitan heard a lot of useful news.
The news that Kou Li had pawned the gift of the gods was well known throughout the city.
At the same time, Kou Ji also confirmed his guess that Kou Li was indeed calculated, and it was the Wu brothers who calculated him.
As for a servant from the sixth rank, why he was boldly calculating as the prime minister, no one knows.
Kou Ji felt that he still needed to find someone to find out the detailed information, and to figure out the purpose of the Wu family brothers' calculation of Kou Zun.
Apart from complaining to Kou Li for ruining the famous name of Kou Zhun I, the people felt that Kou Zhun was going to be unlucky.
The reason they are so sure is because the rhino belt pawned by Kou Li is not an ordinary object.
It is said that it was a rare rhinoceros in the world that was a tribute to Fanbang. Emperor Taizong ordered the craftsmen to make two rhinoceros belts, one for his own use, and one for Kou Zhun.
Emperor Taizong had already returned to heaven, and the rhino belt that belonged to him was buried in the tomb along with him.
The rhino belt in Kou Zhun's hand can be said to be the only one in the world.
Not only is it priceless, but it is also famous in the inner palace.
The thing that even the Neifu is thinking about shows how precious it is.
And everyone expected that Kou Zhun would be unlucky, but Kou Zhun was not unlucky now, the reason was that the official in the palace who could not afford to be seriously ill.
It is said that this fascinated official, four days ago, dreamed that the goddess came and wanted to bless him and invite him to ascend to the heavens together.
After waking up from the dream, he immediately made an decree that the hundred officials in the court would take the place of him to bathe and fast for seven days. After seven days, he would join him to welcome the blessing of the goddess.
It is with these seven days of fasting and bathing that Kou Zhun has no bad luck.
This is why Wang Shu reminded Kou Ji at the entrance of the main hall of Kou Mansion that he still has three and a half days.
