Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

Chapter 136 The world of Menghualu

[Ding! Let the school bullies be punished! Reward skills, immune to all poisons, every shot will hit the target!

The next world - Menghualu!

Mission goal—prevent alien invasion!]

With the sound of the system sound, Zhou Cong found himself in a quite busy street.

The so-called prosperity is just a relative term. Compared with the prosperity of the city, it is still far behind.

There are indeed a lot of tourists here and the shops are densely packed!

Above the shop, there are all kinds of cloth hanging!

Looking around, Zhou Cong felt like he was visiting an ancient film and television city.

Looking down at myself, I found that my clothes had changed into ancient costumes, and even my straight hair had become the shape of ancient people.

"This system is so considerate. I don't need to pretend to be a monk and travel around the world!"

After touching his hair, Zhou Cong felt a little uncomfortable, but he could accept it.

After all, in ancient times, it was important that the body's hair and skin were protected from damage by its parents.

That's why monks become ordained and leave their parents and families in order to keep their six senses pure.

He had just watched the TV series Menghualu.

The plot tells the story of the trouble caused by the identity of Queen Liu Wan being painted on a painting called Night Banquet during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is just the background story.

The main plot is the growth story of the three heroines, Zhao Paner, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang.

The so-called Liu Wan is actually the Queen of Zhenzong, Liu E.

She is a figure comparable to Empress Lu and Wu Zetian, and of course, there is Cixi behind her.

Her level is higher than that of Empress Lu and Wu Zetian.

The cool thing is that before she served Zhenzong, she was a married singer, and she had never given birth to a child of her own, so she came from a very humble background.

It was Zhenzong who adopted the son born to Li Shunyi to her, making her the queen.

And after Zhenzong's death, he continued to control the government until Renzong of Song Dynasty returned to power as an adult.

Although she never became emperor.

But when he was about to die, he went to the ancestral temple wearing the royal robes only for the emperor, which was considered to be an emperor's addiction!

And this story is the very famous story of civet cat for prince in later generations. Concubine Liu in it is Liu E and Li Shunyi is Concubine Li.

(Later on, Liu Wan was renamed Liu E. Although Empress Liu did not leave her name in history, people have become accustomed to calling her Liu E.)

"A man cannot be without power for a day, and a husband must not be without money for a day. He must have money first!"

While walking casually on the street and looking at the surrounding situation, Zhou Cong thought about the next plan and finally decided on a plan of action.

At this time, he already knew that this was the place where Menghualu began, Qiantang County.

After looking for a passerby to find out the location of Zhao's tea shop, he happily walked over.

Zhao's Tea Shop.

Zhou Cong stepped in and looked up to see Zhao Pan'er greeting him in front.

"What a fairy sister, she is indeed stunning!"

After just one glance, Zhou Cong was deeply attracted by Zhao Paner.

But even though her body was a little rounder, her beauty could not be concealed, and she couldn't help but move her index finger.

"Customer, please come in and have some tea and fruits!"

But seeing Zhou Cong enter, Zhao Paner hurriedly came over to greet him.

"Honey shopkeeper, please give me a bowl of water! Although I'm hungry, I'm short of money and don't have anything to pay the bill!"

Zhou Cong cupped his hands and bent over, acting gracefully.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Zhao Pan'er got up and went to the back. After a while, he brought a pot of tea and a plate of peach blossom cakes.

And put it on the table.

"My lord, who doesn't have any difficulties when walking outside? Please use this to eat. If you have money in the future, you can pay me back in the future!" Zhao Pan'er said cheerfully after Di Chan bowed.

"Well, thank you, madam shopkeeper!"

Zhou Cong was not polite, took tea and snacks, and started eating.

The tea tastes good!

The taste of the dim sum was also quite good, at least it was much stronger than the Daoxiang Village standard dim sum he had eaten in Siheyuan before.

I guess first, Sun Sanniang’s craftsmanship is pretty good.

Second, the current materials are green and environmentally friendly and don’t have so many additives!

After eating a plate of snacks and drinking all the tea, Zhou Cong reluctantly ate half full.

He stood up and looked at Zhao Pan'er, who also came over and said, "Your Majesty, you have done a good job!"

"That's great! Thank you, the shopkeeper!"

In Zhou Zhou Cong, walking around the world has only one wish, to find the beauty in the world and accept it.

The lady in charge is kind-hearted and just what I want!

Tomorrow, Mr. Zhou will come to visit and talk to Mrs. Zhao about accepting gifts!"

Zhou Cong said, turned around and left!

"My lord, please wait!"

Zhao Pan'er hurriedly took a step after her and called out to Zhou Cong, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm already betrothed, so I'm afraid I will let down your kindness!"

"That's it! It's Zhou Menglang. Please forgive me, Mrs. Zhao!"

Of course Zhou Cong knew that Zhao Pan'er had a private engagement with Ouyang Xu, the top candidate in this year's imperial examination, and was only waiting for Ouyang Xu to marry him and become the wife of a Jinshi.

Because he came from a humble background and worked as a merchant after being a good boy, Zhao Paner considered himself of low status.

She also bought land in Dengzhou in advance and planned to change her identity and become Mrs. Zhao from Dengzhou.

But it is a pity that Ouyang Xu was fascinated by power and was offered marriage to Concubine Gao Xian in the palace. He even sent his butler Uncle De to find Zhao Paner to break the engagement with eighty taels of gold.

Zhao Pan'er couldn't accept the reality and wanted to go to Tokyo to find Ouyang Xu and ask for the reason.

During this period, they were taken care of by Gu Qianfan, the commander of the Imperial City Detective Department, and the two eventually went through various hardships and came together.

He knew that he would definitely be rejected by Zhao Pan'er. What he said just now was just to give her a reminder to prepare for the future.

"Pan'er, what did the guest officer say?"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er looking at Zhou Cong's back, Sun Sanniang, who had nothing to do, ran over.

"He said he wanted to take the most beautiful woman in the world as his concubine, and he wanted me to think about it!"

Zhao Pan'er said funny.

"Look at how tall he is, what a beautiful idea he has! He can't even pay for tea, and he still wants to take a concubine. You want to be a scholar's wife, but you really want to eat swan meat!"

Sun Sanniang laughed disdainfully.

After leaving Zhao's Tea Shop and finding out where the Qiantang County Government Office was, Zhou Cong waited.

He waited until it got dark, then casually pulled off a piece of cloth from his clothes, covered his face, and jumped in using his telekinesis.

He knocked down a guard at random and forced him out of the magistrate Zheng Qingtian's house.

Then he put him to the ground and took the weapons from him.

He walked swaying towards the study room in the backyard.

"Who is it? Someone is coming!"

When he entered the study, Zheng Qingtian was looking at the account book.

Seeing the door ringing, I looked up.

But seeing Zhou Cong holding a long knife and covering his face with a cloth, he knew that a robber was coming to the house, so he hurriedly shouted.

Following his voice, several servants rushed over.

"Well done!"

Relying on the power of his mind, Zhou Cong dodged his body and arrived in front of a servant.

While cutting off his head with one knife, he also turned his mind power into a shield to block another servant.

In this way, three times five divides two!

In less than a minute, all the servants fell into a pool of blood, looking like they would not survive!

"Magistrate Zheng, can we have a chat now?"

He randomly found a servant and wiped the blood on the knife. Zhou Cong walked slowly to him, pulled up a chair and sat down.

"This hero is short of money. Although Xiao Ke has no family assets, he can still support the hero with thousands of dollars!"

Zheng Qingtian saw Zhou Cong's confident look, and his eyebrows trembled slightly.

"You are in private confinement and earn at least 200,000 guan, 1,000 guan from the city's shipping tax every year. Are you just spending money as a beggar?"

Zhou Cong sneered, raised his hand and picked up the tea bowl in front of Zheng Qingtian, opened it and found that it was full.

I drank it casually and thought about it for a few times. It was really not as delicious as the tea made by Zhao Paner.

"Where did you get this news?"

Zheng Qingtian was shocked!

However, since Zhou Cong has said this, he must have known everything and is now a bachelor.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself! Take 500 taels of gold and 200,000 guan of flying money, and I will tell you how to survive!"

"How can I trust you?"

"Isn't it enough that I didn't kill you? By the way, Liang Zhejiang Road Transfer Envoy Yang Zhiyuan is about to write a letter to accuse you of this stupid thing? If you want to kill him and silence him, you'd better hurry up.

What's more? Yang Zhiyuan is also involved in a major incident. Gu Qianfan, the living person of the Imperial City Division, may be leading a team to find him.

If you act too slowly and collide with Gu Qianfan, you will be in big trouble.

Even though his surname is Gu, his father is Xiao Qinyan, the magistrate of Suzhou, you know the consequences!"

Zhou Cong continued.

In his eyes, even if Zheng Qingtian broke the national law, it was none of his business.

If this money doesn't go into Zheng Qingtian's pocket, it will fall into the pockets of other powerful people. Anyway, it won't enter the national treasury.

Even if it goes into the national treasury, it will not benefit the people.

Although the Zhen Song Dynasty was known as a benevolent king, it was because he was addicted to forging heavenly books and enshrining Zen, and built palaces and temples extensively, wasting people and money.

When the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace was being built to enshrine the Heavenly Book, in order to speed up the progress, the people were forced to work day and night without rest, and eight out of ten died.

Zheng Qingtian privately implemented the ban, allowing goods to circulate domestically. The country reduced official taxes, and at most Song Zhenzong built fewer Taoist temples and added fewer golden statues to the Taoist statues in the temples.

But it allows a large amount of goods from Southeast Asia to circulate, allowing people to spend less and buy more good things.

Moreover, Nanyang merchants can also make more money to purchase goods and sell them, so why not do it.

"Living Yama is actually Xiao Shijun's son?"

Zheng Qingtian was shocked when he heard this.

You must know that although Xiao Yanyan is named Zhizhou, he was the first minister of the dynasty before.

He was in a high position and had many people who died under his command.

If you want to kill yourself, it is as easy as crushing an ant.

"Thank you hero for informing me of this information. Can you please tell me the origin?"

Seeing that Zhou Cong knew so much secret information and was highly skilled in martial arts, Zheng Qingtian hurriedly stood up and left his seat, clasping his fists in salute.

"My ancestral home is Shu, and my main family is Gong!"

Zhou Cong made it up.

"It turns out..."

Zheng Qingtian was so excited that he pointed to the sky.

"Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said!"

Zhou Cong's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair a few times.

The reason why Zheng Qingtian was able to be shocked by this is because the current saint, Queen Liu E, is from Shu.

The first husband she married was named Gong Mei, and he was a silversmith.

Because the Song army's military discipline was poor when they attacked Shu, the two fled to Tokyo.

After they went there, because the two had no money to spend, Gong Mei sold Liu E to Song Zhenzong, who was still the prince at the time.

After Liu E became successful, she recognized Gong Mei as her adopted brother, gave her the surname Liu, and changed her name to Liu Mei.

Relying on Liu E's influence, Gong Mei's family lived a very comfortable life, not to mention that they were in power, but they were pretty much the same.

There are many people who know about this matter. In addition to the officials of the current dynasty, many ordinary people also know about this matter.

Before, everyone didn't care.

After all, this is a matter for the emperor's court.

But as Zhenzong's health became worse and worse, Liu E began to approve the memorials.

Two factions appeared in the court. One was Qingliu, who wanted Song Zhenzong to establish the crown prince early. The other was the rear party, who wanted to keep the current situation unchanged.

In order to attack Liu E's legal status, the Qingliu Party decided to use the fact that Liu E had been a singer and lost her virginity to suppress the latter party.

Therefore, the night banquet picture became the key.

This is a picture of the famous painter Wang Zhanxiao's visit to Han Xizai's night banquet.

The master, guests and singing prostitutes were also added to the painting.

Moreover, he also has a problem with painting, that is, he likes to hide the names of characters in the texture of clothing.

Because Liu E is on the painting and her name is on it, it will certainly be the most powerful weapon against her.

"Hero, please wait a moment!"

Zheng Qingtian didn't know that Zhou Cong was speaking in a panic, and thought he was a pawn who came to help the queen get money. Thinking that he was trying to please Zhou Cong, he fell into the eyes of Liu E and became a member of the queen's party.

I groped around in the study and found a hidden compartment.

He took out a box of gold, silver and jewelry and gave more than 300,000 yuan in flying money to Zhou Cong.

It is said that the flying money of more than 300,000 yuan was given to the superiors, and the stuff in this box was given to Zhou Cong as a filial piety.

"You are very good! I will put in a good word for you to the higher ups. By the way, give me your letter! In the future, if I come to you for anything, I will ask someone to use this as proof!"

Zhou Cong looked at Zheng Qingtian with approval, making his bones loosen up.
