My Erlang is so rich

The longer he waited, the slower the time passed. Wang Yuanbao flipped through the comic book in a bored way. He turned a page, didn't seem to understand it, then turned it back, going back and forth several times. A little bored, he dropped the book in his hand, looked in the direction of the door, lowered his head again, picked another comic book and continued to read.

Ah Shan saw that the brazier was not too hot, so he ran out to change another one, and brought some snacks for Wang Yuanbao to eat.

Wang Yuanbao looked at the small snacks on the kang table, but he didn't have much appetite, and couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, so he asked again: "What time is it?"

"It's time, why don't you go to bed first? Don't wait, it's too late," Wang Yuanbao said.

Wang Yuanbao was a little uneasy, with a sullen face, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you send someone out to look for it? It's freezing cold, so nothing will happen."

"It seems to be snowing and wait for me to go out to have a look." Ah Shan opened the window to look, and while talking, he stood up, put on his shoes and ran out.

After a while, he ran back again, and said helplessly: "It really fell again. The yard has just been cleaned, and another layer of skin has fallen off. How about I go call someone, and everyone wear thicker clothes and go out to look for it." , I heard that there are people who freeze to death outside, hey, don’t let him freeze to death outside!”

boom!Wang Yuanbao knocked the book on Ah Shan's head and said, staring at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go!"

Ah Shan hugged his head and rubbed it. Although it didn't hurt or itch, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, you opened me up for outsiders! I'm going out now to find someone for you. Be polite to me!"

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll go by myself!" Wang Yuanbao was a little impatient, and he was no longer in the mood for joking.

"No, I'm going right away." As Shan said, he ran to the door, stretched out his hand, and there was a man standing at the door, raising his hand as if preparing to knock on the door.

"Ning Wu, are you alone?" Ah Shan looked at Chang Wu, then poked his head out to look behind Chang Wu, asking him in surprise and doubt.

Hearing the sound, Wang Yuanbao also put on his shoes and stood up. Seeing that Ning Wu was alone, he frowned and sat back, saying, "Where is Ning Xuan? Why are you alone?"

Chang Wu walked in immediately, the soles of his shoes were covered with mud and snow, and fell to the ground all the way, making a puffing sound with every step he took.

Hearing this voice, Wang Yuanbao looked at Chang Wu's shoes, and was about to tell Ah Shan to get him a pair of shoes, but before he could say anything, Chang Wu said, "Master Bao, Ning Xuan is having a hard time recently. Now, something is stuck and it may take a while."

Wang Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, stood up and asked Chang Wu: "What's stuck? Where is he? Is he still in Beijing?"

"Still in Beijing, but can't get out, he asked me to tell you on his behalf, let you wait for him, and he will come when things in your hand stabilize, so don't think too much, don't worry." Chang Wu bowed his head Said.

"What exactly is it?" Wang Yuanbao was a little puzzled. What is it?He is a foreigner, does he owe money?Detained?

Seeing that Chang Wu didn't speak, Wang Yuanbao continued to ask: "Did the money owed be withheld?"

"No, I can't tell. He said he will explain it to you personally when he comes." Chang Wu said.

"Then can you go to see him?" Wang Yuanbao took another step forward and said in a deep voice, "Take me to see him!"

Chang Wu was silent, he didn't know what to do, the emperor asked Wang Yuanbao to wait for him, and didn't say whether he could take Wang Yuanbao to see him, what, what should we do?

Seeing that he was silent, Wang Yuanbao asked him anxiously: "Can't you take me there? Can you bring a letter?"

Letters should be fine, right?The emperor didn't say that he might write a letter, should he bring it?take it! "Well, it should be possible. You write it quickly, I have to... go there right away. I have other things to do tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will be too late." Chang Wu said.

"Yeah..." Wang Yuanbao hurried to the desk, rummaged through it, as if he was looking for something, and shouted again: "Ah Shan, where's Mo?"

Ah Shan also stepped over in two steps in three steps, picked up the long black strip in the corner and threw it to him, saying, "Here, why write a letter if you don't know a single word?"

"Shut up!" Holding the ink stick, Wang Yuanbao didn't know what to do, and then looked at Chang Wu.

Chang Wu looked at Wang Yuanbao, walked over helplessly, poured water into the inkstone and began to grind it, then slowly raised his head and said, "Are you sure you want to write a letter?"

"Well, write! Ah Shan, go and get a pair of shoes for Ning Wu, and a fox-fur cape." Wang Yuanbao dismissed Ah Shan, picked up a brush, and stood behind the table, waiting for Chang Wuyan to grind it.

Chang Wu glanced at the pen in Wang Yuanbao's hand, and immediately understood why the emperor didn't mention the possibility of writing a letter, because there is almost no such possibility!

Wang Yuanbao was going to write a letter, which was strange, and the brush in his hand didn't even start.

After a while, Ah Shan brought the cloak and shoes, and changed them for Chang Wu, and the two of them sat aside again, watching Wang Yuanbao write and draw on the paper with a look of surprise.

After Wang Yuanbao finished writing, he rummaged through the cabinets to finally find an envelope, put it in, clapped his hands and said, "Ning Wu, give it to him for me, you can't read it, I dripped wax."

Chang Wu picked up the envelope and stuffed it in front of his chest, nodded towards Wang Yuanbao, and went out.

Ah Shan looked at Wang Yuanbao, a little worried about him. Although he didn't seem to care much on the surface, and even wrote that letter, he must be very worried in his heart.

Based on what Ah Shan has known about him for so many years, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.Thinking of this, Ah Shan said to Wang Yuanbao: "Sleep quickly? If you don't sleep, it will be dawn."

"Go back to sleep. I'll sit in the study for a while. It's already warm here. The bedroom must be a bit cold. Leave me alone. I'll just sleep here." Wang Yuanbao said casually.

"Well, then I'll go back." Ah Shan turned around and went out and closed the door after speaking. Anyway, a few more words would not persuade him, so let him go.

After sending Ah Shan away, Wang Yuanbao sat back on the couch, moved the kang table aside, lay down, grabbed the cloak thrown beside him and covered himself, and looked at the beams on the roof.

After a while, he lay on his side again and looked at the steaming brazier on the ground. After looking at it for a while, he felt his eyes were a little dry. After blinking, he turned over and lay down again, with one arm pillowed behind his head and the other Just put it on the chest, gently rubbed the chin with your fingers, then bent the left leg and put the right ankle on the left knee, shaking the foot every now and then...

What is it that is so mysterious that you can't say it, and you can't come back?

Today is really eventful. First, Master Cheng summoned him to donate money, goods, and food. Then Ning Xuan disappeared, and Chang Wu didn't say anything. Wang Yuanbao thought about it all night, thinking of various possibilities, such as Ning Xuan Kidnapped by a creditor, or an admirer came to the door to solve it, or the general wanted to find Ning Xuan, a relative, or the son of which family Ning Xuan was originally. The relatives are all deceitful, and now they have been arrested. , I might be able to run out again someday...

Thinking about it, Wang Yuanbao gradually fell asleep, but no matter what, he never thought that the two events that happened today were originally connected!

It was already afternoon when Chang Wu came with the ghostly shadow. Several ministers were coming out of the Xuanzheng Hall, all of them solemn and silent, thinking that the memorial to the disaster area today had already arrived.

His heart sank again, the emperor must be in a bad mood now, maybe reading Wang Yuanbao's letter can relax his mood!I don't know what Wang Yuanbao wrote, but don't blame it.

After taking a deep breath, Chang Wu asked Feng Deshun to report, and asked Ghost Miying and the other four to wait outside the hall, and he went in first.

"Your Majesty, everything has been settled. Things have been sent to the virtuous king. I have also been to the palace, and I have explained it to Wang Yuanbao. It seems that he is not unhappy, and he even asked me to bring a letter. Here you are, you didn't say you couldn't bring the letter, so I brought it back on my own." Chang Wu bowed his waist and bowed.

"Well, what did you just say? A letter? Did Erlang write it?" Li Xuanning asked Chang Wu with wide-eyed eyes, as if he had heard something shocking to the world, and was a little bit surprised for a moment. Wasn't Erlang illiterate? ?He can still write letters. What makes him happy is that Erlang actually wrote letters to himself. Does he miss himself?

"Returning to the emperor, it was indeed written by Wang Yuanbao himself, and I was watching from the side." Chang Wu replied indifferently, the emperor's reaction was already within his expectations, and there was no disturbance in his heart at this time.

Li Xuanning looked at the envelope that Chang Wu held up with both hands, a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but pause.He didn't let Chang Wu come over, but stood up by himself, walked over to take the envelope with a suspicious expression on his face, sat back on the chair, looked at the envelope, there was nothing on it, it was clean, and took the envelope again. I got up and shook it, and there was indeed paper in it.

Li Xuanning pursed his lips, and finally stretched out his hand to pinch one corner, and tore off a strand along the edge, for fear of accidentally tearing something inside.Stretching out the thumb and index finger again, pinched out the paper inside, and gently opened it to have a look...

This... is indeed a letter. Li Xuanning looked at the paper and it was clearly a painting. Let's call it a painting, because there is a circle drawn in the upper left corner on it. Maybe, maybe it is the sun or the moon.And in the lower right corner, there is a... well, it is a cow, and there is a horn on the nose, oh, it is a rhinoceros.

...This is Rhino Mochizuki, right?

Pfft, Li Xuanning couldn't help laughing out loud, that is to say, Wang Yuanbao would come up with such a trick!

There is a folk myth and legend. It is said that there is a girl named Yuzhen at the foot of Yandang Mountain. Her parents died early.Seeing that Yuzhen grows more and more beautiful, the local rich man becomes lustful.One day, the local rich man threw himself at Yuzhen with evil spirits, but at this time the bull who was with Yuniang swung his tail like an iron whip at him, and covered his eyes with two horns.He said to Yuzhen again, "quick, come on my back!".So Yuzhen escaped by riding the ox. It turned out that the ox was a god in the sky. Later, the ox pulled out a horn and let Yuzhen fly to the moon on the instantly enlarged horn.Later, the ox turned into a stone rhinoceros with only one horn left. Because he missed the woman Yuzhen who flew to the moon palace, he looked up at the moon all day long, expressing his thoughts.

So there was a rhinoceros watching the moon.These are all common stories in folk comic books, and Erlang presumably read them in comic books.

Seeing Li Xuanning smiling so happily, Chang Wu felt a little relaxed, but he was really curious about what Wang Yuanbao wrote, so he leaned forward, stretched his neck and glanced... After a long time, finally Seeing what is painted clearly, I feel admiration in my heart, the illiterate is so romantic, and I am still dull!

Li Xuanning held the painting over and over and looked at it carefully, as if looking at a precious treasure, reluctant to let it go, after a long while, he folded it lightly, stuffed it back into the envelope, put it on the table, and patted it twice.

Chang Wu saw that the emperor had calmed down, so he continued to report: "Your Majesty, Ghost Misty Shadow has also called, and they are waiting outside the palace!"

"Well, let them come in, and you stay together." Li Xuanning said seriously.

After a while, the four followed Chang Wu into the palace, and the five lined up, bowing to Li Xuanning.

Li Xuanning walked back and forth slowly in front of the table, looked at the five people in front of him, and then said: "The four of you have almost rested, and now there are some things that need you to investigate secretly, listen carefully. Wang Yuanbao six years I once went to Bozhou to sell silk, passed by the Liuxiang Inn outside Zizhou City, and encountered bandits. The two ghosts and ghosts were in Shangjing to secretly investigate the people who went with Wang Yuanbao at that time, who were there, and who were still alive? The masked boy. Miying and the two went to Zizhou to investigate the situation of Liuxiang Inn at that time, who stayed overnight, and where they went. There are also those gangsters. If such a big event happened, the Zizhou government should have a record I don’t know the details, but I just think it’s a bit suspicious. I’ll check it first, and maybe I’ll get something else. There are other specific details, you can ask Chang Wu.”

Li Xuanning paused after finishing speaking, looked at the sky outside, sighed again and said: "Well, prepare more warm materials when you leave. The weather has been bad recently, and there has been heavy snowfall. You should avoid the disaster area and pay attention to safety. News You may not be able to find out, but you must come back. The weather is not suitable for you to go out, but... I can't wait. Okay, the four of you go out first, and Chang Wu stays."

"Obey, I'm waiting to leave!" After listening to the emperor's order, the four ghosts and ghosts retreated.

"Ah Wu, come here! There is something I need you to do." Li Xuanning turned around and sat on the chair, beckoning to Chang Wu.

Chang Wu hurried over with doubts, stood beside Li Xuanning, and waited quietly for orders.

Li Xuanning turned his eyes upwards, then turned his head and said softly to Chang Wu: "Ah Wu, Xuan'an went to the Liuxiang Inn six years ago. He said he was going to recruit soldiers. I have some doubts. Go check it out and find out. What's going on? If it's really conscription, then that's all. If it's not, you must find out the situation! Also, he said that the god is his soldier, and you should check it out. Be careful, act secretly, and bring more people , to ensure safety. As for your father, don’t be alarmed.”

When Chang Wu heard about his father, he was startled, fearing that the emperor would misunderstand his father and the virtuous king, he immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, and said: "Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you, and he will not hide anything about it. I'll definitely find out."

"Hey, why are you nervous? I know the loyalty of your Chang family. You should take a vacation and take a bath recently. Don't let others know that I let you go out. I will report on my work when I have a clue in a few days. Go!" Wu panicked, and then comforted him a few words.

When Chang Wu heard what Li Xuanning said, he also felt that he was too nervous.So he got up and bowed his waist and said, "I obey the order."

Li Xuanning actually didn't believe Li Xuan'an's words all the time, but he just felt that it didn't matter, it was all over, and now Erlang's relationship with him had changed, and the situation that day was also full of doubts.Zizhou has been peaceful for many years, and I have never heard of banditry there.It would be great if we could figure out what happened at that time, although Xuan An said that the man was dead, but we still need to confirm, don't jump out again someday!I don't know if Xuan An's words are true or not, this fairy brother is always a red water chestnut in Erlang's heart, if it is not safe, one day the red water chestnut is thrown away, and Erlang will float away with him.

When Chang Wu walked out of the hall, the four ghost ghosts all rushed over and surrounded him and began to ask questions.

"Master Chang, isn't Wang Yuanbao a great merchant? Why is the emperor interested in him?" Mei said.

"Yes, the emperor asked us to ask you." Mi said.

"Why do you check him first? Is it because of King Xian?" Mei said.

"Hey, Master Chang, please walk slowly and tell us quickly." The ghost said.

"Master Chang, although the four of us can't beat you separately, you may not be able to beat you together!" Ying, who had been silent all this time, said leisurely.

"Haha, Ying is always so cute, hey, Ying was joking, Master Chang, tell me quickly!" Mei said.

Chang Wu's face was livid, and the four together really couldn't beat him.

"Ahem, that Wang Yuanbao belongs to the emperor!" Chang Wu looked around and saw that there were no other people, so he lowered his voice and said unnaturally.

"A person arranged by the emperor? A big businessman? What can he do? The emperor doesn't have enough money?" Mi said.

"...Um, I don't think that's what Master Chang said." Mei looked at everyone and said something slowly, then looked at Chang Wu and asked: "Master Chang, what you said is the same as what I understand. mean?"

"What do you understand?" Chang Wu asked.

"Wang Yuanbao is the emperor's male favourite, right?" Mei smiled wretchedly.

"As long as you know it, hurry up and check it out. If you can't find out what's going on, we'll all have to face it," Chang Wu said.

"My god, the emperor actually has this habit. It seems that I have to be careful in the future. I am so handsome." Mi said in horror.

Chang Wu looked at Mi in disbelief, and said, "How could you have such an illusion? You look like this, at best it's okay!"

Pfft, Mei and Gui both laughed out loud, Mi always thought that he was extremely handsome, they were all used to it, Chang Wu was definitely not used to it!

"If the emperor can take a fancy to you, we don't need to investigate. Let's go!" Ying said.

"Well, it snowed again last night. The four of you were careful all the way, avoiding the disaster area, bring some fur and dry food, and try to come back as soon as possible. Let's go." Chang Wu said goodbye to the four of them.
