Yizhou.

Luo Fengtang stood up and walked around the room.

"Zhang Tianyi sent someone to contact you, the middleman is Gu Fengchang..."

"It's no wonder that the Rongshan bandits are not afraid of encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers."

What Luo Fengtang thought of was another aspect.

"Zhang Tianyi and Gu Fengshang are not the same people, but they are indeed related. I heard that the Rongshan bandits never take the initiative to rob the property of the indigenous people. They usually only target the big landowners and gentry who are rich and unkind." Zi Yan

road.

"This is quite interesting. This Zhang Tianyi is a capable person."

Luo Fengtang was thoughtful.

Those charlatans are usually the kind who lick blood from their knives and fall out whenever they disagree.

Zhang Tianyi can control those Jianghu people and let them act according to their own ideas. This alone shows that Zhang Tianyi has his own way of doing things.

"Do you want to meet him?" Zi Yan asked.

"Not yet."

"Things that are too easy to obtain are often not cherished."

"And, now I still don't know what he wants and why he is willing to accept recruitment."

Luo Fengtang thought about it for a while and gave up his plan to meet with Zhang Tianyin now.

"Zhang Tianyi, he may not express his thoughts clearly."

Purple smoke.

"That's natural. When he reaches such a position and has accomplished a great career, how can he easily talk to others about his feelings? But it doesn't matter whether he talks or not. Go and investigate and see what the current situation of the Rongshan bandits is.

Maybe we can get a glimpse of the real situation."

Luo Fengtang smiled slightly.

"Okay, I will send someone to take care of this matter."

Zi Yan nodded.

"That's all these two things."

"Before that, you accompany me to a place."

Luo Fengtang said.

"Where?" Zi Yan was stunned.

Is there anything she doesn't know about?

However, this is not a surprise.

After all, the personal guards around Luo Fengtang have their own system, and any news they get will be reported directly to Luo Fengtang.

Leave this barracks.

They rode forward on horseback.

In addition to Luo Fengtang and Zi Yan, there is also a personal guard named Yun Ying. This person is the commander of the personal guards around Luo Fengtang, but he acts extremely low-key and never speaks much except for carrying out Luo Fengtang's orders.

About half an hour later, they came to an ordinary door.

There are many wheel marks on the floor paved with bluestones. The traces left by these years show that this place has a long history.

"Is this where it is?"

Luo Fengtang frowned slightly.

This place is clearly a place where ordinary people live, which is very inconsistent with the status of the person he is about to visit.

"General, his whole family lives here."

Yun Ying had already dismounted.

When the people walking in the alley saw them, they immediately lowered their heads and left in a hurry.

Luo Fengtang smiled bitterly in his heart.

After all, he is no longer the hunter in the village. When he goes out, he will be treated as a nobleman, which makes him feel fearful.

This was not what he wanted, but he had no choice but to do it.

By the time they led the horses to the door, all the people nearby had run away, and everything was quiet.

Yun Ying stepped forward expressionlessly, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked on the door.

Not long after, footsteps were heard inside.

"Giggle..."

The sound of the door axis rotating was heard, the paint-peeled wooden door was half opened, and half of the body leaned out from inside.

This is a young boy of short stature with a childish round face. He is wearing Confucian clothes and holding a book in one hand. He picks up the people outside and salutes politely: "That's polite.

.”

"Is Mr. Ziming at home?" Luo Fengtang smiled back.

"My father is at home."

"You go back and announce that an old friend is visiting."

Luo Fengtang said.

The young boy said "Hey" and walked quickly through the door.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps.

An elegant man in his forties came out from inside.

After meeting Luo Fengtang and others, there was not much surprise on his face, but a wry smile.

He cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Marquis and Master Zi would come to visit me."

"There is no need to say too many polite words. You understand the purpose of my coming." Luo Fengtang said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, Master Zi, please come home."

The elegant man led the way, leading Luo Fengtang and Zi Yan to the wing room inside.

The place where he lives is a standard three-entry courtyard, which is a common residence in Yizhou City.

Of course, compared to ordinary people, a house with this kind of structure can be regarded as a house for a wealthy middle-class family.

But this kind of house still does not match the identity of the owner.

Because the elegant man is Wei Lanfeng, the prime minister of Yizhou County, whose courtesy name is Ziming.

Such a status is not much worse than that of a county governor.

Moreover, Wei Lanfeng has been the county magistrate for several years. Logically speaking, he should have bought a big house long ago.

In the wing room.

Wei Lanfeng was already alone in the room with Luo Fengtang.

The cloud shadow is standing outside.

Zi Yan was dragged to the back house by Mrs. Wei Lanfeng to talk.

Wei Lanfeng held a small brown teapot and poured tea into the cup in front of Luo Fengtang.

"This is Yizhou camellia. This spring and summer, I collected it on the mountain and made it through eighteen processes. Please try it, Mr. Hou."

Luo Fengtang picked up the tea cup and took a careful sip without hesitation.

"This tea has a refreshing fragrance and tastes really good, but ordinary people can't drink it."

"You are wrong. Yizhou mountain tea has always been a tea that is often drunk by the common people. The eighteen steps are not difficult and tea farmers can do it. Therefore, this kind of tea is not exclusive to nobles."

Wei Lanfeng smiled slightly.

"That's not bad."

"Since the Yizhou Mountain Tea produced through eighteen processes is just ordinary tea, then what kind of tea do the princes and nobles drink?"

Luo Fengtang asked.

He doesn't know much about luxury goods.

"Yizhou mountain tea cannot be tasted by them. What they drink is tribute tea from the capital."

Wei Lanfeng said.

"Tribute tea? Purchased in the palace, tea that the emperor drinks?" Luo Fengtang said.

"It's like this in name. The truth is not important. What's important is one word, expensive! The rich and powerful drink expensive tea in order to highlight their status. If they drink the same tea as ordinary people, how can they reveal their status?"

His status is noble."

Wei Lanfeng said.

"Isn't Mr. Ziming also a powerful person? How come you are quite dissatisfied?"

Luo Fengtang didn't want to go around in circles with Wei Lanfeng anymore. It was too tiring to listen to him talk in a foggy atmosphere.

On the surface, Wei Lanfeng was talking about tea, but in fact, he was dissatisfied with the luxurious life of the powerful.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

"The people of Yizhou are miserable, unspeakable, but the dignitaries are singing and singing every day. If this continues, chaos will inevitably arise, and chaos in the world is inevitable."

Wei Lanfeng said.
