Small Business, No Credits
He could not hide it anymore.
Cheng Yaojin didn't force himself and didn't care about what others thought. He thickened his skin and said,"Your Majesty, you are wise. This plan was not thought of by this subject alone, but by this subject and a good friend.”
"Oh? There were experts? We'll discuss this matter later. You can leave first!”After hearing Cheng Yaojin's admission, Li Shiming did not continue to discuss this topic in the hall. Instead, he put it aside for the time being.
Then, he went back to the topic before Cheng Yaojin came.
Another hour passed.
An hour later, Li Shi Min arrived at the Dew Palace.
At this moment, in the Dew Hall.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin were all in the same room.
The disappearance of the Defender General of the Tang Empire made Li Shimin suspicious. He even suspected that it was his own subjects who had done it.
This time, Cheng Yaojin had received the help of an expert. From his tone, he did not sound like someone who had entered the court as an official.
At this time, the Great Tang was in dire need of talent, so he couldn't help but cherish talent. He didn't want to encounter the same situation as the Defender General, so he had them discuss this matter in private.
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were his most trusted aides, so they were qualified to enter this place to discuss matters.
"Zhijie, just now in front of the hall, who was the good friend you mentioned?”
Li Shimin asked immediately after they gathered.
"Uh... He is a good friend of mine." Cheng Yaojin heard Li Shimin's words and immediately answered.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin stammering, it was not difficult for Li Shimin to guess his thoughts.
If the other party did not confess, then Cheng Yaojin would look for him if he had any difficulties in the future.
This way, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
However, Li Shi Min had already discovered the flaw of the garrison system, and the person who had told him the plan must have known as well. Therefore, he wanted to ask how to solve this flaw, so he changed his method and said,"Cheng Zhijie, I heard that your family slaughtered ten cows last month. Is this true or false?”
Hearing Li Shi Min's words.
Cheng Yaojin's face fell.
If he was an old fox, then Li Shiming was a vixen!!
It was obvious that he was making things difficult for himself.
Helplessly, he had indeed eaten ten cows last month. He had no choice but to confess.
In an instant, he told her about Jiang Fan.
When he finished speaking.
The three people in the hall were shocked by the name Jiang Fan.
However, when Cheng Yaojin said that this person called Jiang Fan wasn't the Defender General, everyone's eyes dimmed.
The Defender General was far too important to Li Shiming and the Great Tang.
The young general.
He was simply an enhanced version of Huo Qubing.
For such a figure to mysteriously disappear was a massive loss for the Great Tang.
Li Shiming threw away these thoughts and found out that this smart young man was hiding in this small tavern. He couldn't help but pay attention.
Of course, the main reason was that they had the same name.
Soon, Li Shimin, who urgently needed to solve the drawbacks of the garrison system, did not beat around the bush and said directly,"There's actually such a talent among the people. Interesting, interesting. Minister Cheng, why don't you lead the way and let me see for myself if this youth is as miraculous as you say?”
Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment and said,""This subject is naturally willing, but this subject still has something to report.”
"Allow!" Li Shi Min didn't know what Cheng Yaojin wanted to say, so he frowned and asked.
"I want to say that the greatest credit for this plan is really mine!!”Cheng Yaojin was like a person who was afraid that the leader would forget his contributions. He constantly reminded everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Shimin were speechless.
They knew that this fellow was shameless, but they didn't expect that this fellow's shamelessness was getting deeper and deeper.
"Dare I ask, Duke Lu, why do you think you contributed the most to this plan?”Zhangsun Wuji was a little curious and could not help but ask.
He really wanted to know why Cheng Yaojin insisted on saying that he had contributed greatly.
When he finished asking.
Cheng Yaojin's expression was calm as he said seriously,""Because this question was asked by me. If I didn't ask, that young man definitely wouldn't answer. If he didn't answer, I wouldn't be able to come to the court to offer advice.”
After Cheng Yaojin finished his explanation, he said,
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Li Shi Min was speechless.
Cheng Yaojin (innocent face):？？”
.......
An hour later.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin were already walking on Chang 'an Street. At this time, the four of them had changed into new clothes, except for Cheng Yaojin.
Under Cheng Yaojin's lead, the three of them finally arrived at a tavern that looked like it was about to close down.
At this moment, outside the tavern, a young man in rough clothes was sticking something that looked like a couplet at the door.
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but whisper,""Your Majesty, it's this young man.”
"Yes, don't expose my identity after entering the shop.”Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shiming immediately nodded and reminded him.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately replied,""Yes."
After saying that, the few of them walked forward.
Cheng Yaojin took the lead and walked to the front.
When he saw Jiang Fan who was putting up things in front of the shop, he immediately greeted him warmly,""Brother Jiang, I, Old Cheng, have brought a few friends to support you."
However, before he could finish speaking, his expression changed and became somewhat gloomy.
Jiang Fan turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw Old Cheng, who had just left two hours ago, his expression turned awkward.
There was no reason.
It was because the thing he had just pasted on the wall had eight big words written on it.
"Small business"
"No credit."
This sentence, combined with Cheng Yaojin's credit from before, obviously, even a fool knew who he was scolding.
Cheng Yaojin didn't expect Jiang Fan to be so stingy.
Of course, a full man didn't know how hungry a hungry man was. To him, a mere five strings of copper coins was nothing.
But to Jiang Fan, this was his life!
Life!
Just like that, the two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
Zhangsun Wuji was relatively smart and immediately realized that something was wrong. He thought of Old Cheng's smell of alcohol and that this place was secluded and deserted. Presumably, this credit was for Cheng Yaojin.
"Old Cheng, did you not pay for the wine?”Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but laugh after guessing.
Cheng Yaojin had never lost face like this before. He immediately explained,"I... Didn't I leave in a hurry and didn't bring any money? I just didn't expect my little friend to be so vengeful.”
As for Jiang Fan, although he was embarrassed, he couldn't afford to pay on credit.
To make this white wine, he had exchanged almost all the money in the shop for food.
Under such circumstances, if he did not earn any money, he would not know what to eat tomorrow.
Therefore, despite the awkwardness, he still looked at the four of them warily. Although he did not say anything, the expression on his face seemed to say: "Are you freeloaders too?”
When they saw Jiang Fan's expression, they had never seen him before.
They looked at each other and laughed.
Immediately after, Zhangsun Wuji took out some silver.
"Is this silver enough for us to enter?"”
When Jiang Fan saw the silver, all his hostility vanished. He said enthusiastically,""Honored guests, come in, come in, treat it as if you're back at home. Tell me what you want to eat and drink. I'll make sure you're satisfied!”
Silver was a rare item in the Great Tang.
But generally speaking, many dignitaries did not like to carry so many copper coins on them. After all, it was always a thousand copper coins. Who would be willing to carry so much money?
Therefore, most dignitaries would still bring some silver with them, but not a lot.
For example, the silver in Jiang Fan's hands was basically all the money that Zhangsun Wuji had.
