Ge Qingqing rode into the night to buy buns at the bun shop that must pass through Zhao sin Temple. He stood in front of the shop, plucked a few copper plates in his palm, and said, "Brother, give two buns."

The old man in this bun shop has bad eyes and is blind. He tilted his head slightly, as if trying to listen to Ge Qingqing. After Ge Qingqing finished speaking, he uncovered the envelope and took the oil paper to wrap the last two buns and passed them.

"Thanks," Ge Qingqing said.

The old man's voice was very dumb, saying, "Send old customers, don't need money."

Ge Qingqing's gesture of putting money was suddenly hesitant, he raised his eyes and stared at each other. Most of the lanterns on the street went out, but there was a half-dead remnant lamp not far away, and the silhouette of the buns was obliquely long.

Ge Qingqing used to be in Dudu, and his colleagues in Xilao loved to come here to buy buns, not because the buns were delicious, but because they were directly accessible to the Chaosin Temple. He has short stubble now, and is no longer as handsome as a few years ago. The most important difference is his temperament. He is no different from ordinary merchants, but the blind old man can recognize who he is.

"Remember me?" Ge Qingqing asked casually.

The old man held the bun cage and shook it, still a bitch. He put the cages in place, dragged them out of the water basin under the table, bowed and threw all the dirty dishes and said, "He came yesterday."

Ge Qingqing took a bite in the bun and said, "I have the wrong person."

The old man washed the dishes and didn't answer again. Ge Qingqing stood here and finished eating the buns, took out the parcel to wipe his hands, and walked away. There was a smell of fatty powder in the wind, which blew the residual lights lightly. When Ge Qingqing's body was in darkness, he threw back the copper plate in his palm, and the copper plate fell crisply on the greasy tabletop. He shoved it back and left.

The old man was washing the dishes alone, and when the sky was about to light up, he put all the chopsticks in order. A hawker pushing a wheelbarrow selling vegetables greeted him and shouted, "Chengcheng, open a shop so early?"

The old man tore off the kerchief on his shoulder, wiped his sweat, and said, "Don't do it."

"Don't do it?" The hawker dropped out of the car, leaned over the table, and asked, "Why not do it?"

The old man threw the handkerchief on the table without touching the money left by Ge Qingqing, and looked at the end of the street: "There is another job."

Li Jianting shivered, the book in her hand slipped to her knees, and her shoulders suddenly sank. She immediately awakened, opened Fuman's hand, and yelled, "Indulge!"

Fu Man knelt down on the blanket, raised his hand and gave himself a mouth, saying, "It disturbs the emperor's Qingxu, the slaves should fight! The fight!"

Li Jianting saw that he was blessed and raised his head slightly, relieved.

After Fu Man hit himself, he glanced at Li Jianting and said, "There is also an ice basin in this hall, which is very cold. If the emperor is short, the slaves will help you take a rest inside."

He didn't wait for Li Jianting to speak out, so he planned to stand up and help others.

"Kneel down!" Li Jianting bit his words.

Fu Man quickly knelt, holding the blanket, and aggrieved, "The emperor, the emperor is angry, the slave is just in a hurry, and the slave is distressed by the dragon."

When Li Jianting heard Fu Man's voice, he thought of a man. She wanted to get the book in her lap, but found her hands shaking.

Fu Man stepped forward on his knees, and flattered, "The emperor must not be suffocated by his slaves. The dragon is the most important thing."

Li Jianting packed up her mind, restrained her facial expression, so that she would not stand up and retreat. She squeezed the book tightly, and looked a little slower, and said to Fu Man, "Nightmare has been pressed down, she just didn't wake up, scared you, get up."

After seeing Li Jianting's ordinary expression, Fu Man felt relieved and stood up and said, "It's cold here, and the emperor is scared next time, and it will be done with a single call."

"The teacher will come later." Li Jianting tossed the bag aside before Fu Man approached. "Why didn't you wait in the office?"

Fu Man's heart is full of promotion and getting rich. He didn't notice Li Jianting's actions and bowed to congratulations: "Slave came to tell the emperor the good news!"

Li Jianting said, "Is Juxi's food book here?"

"That's not the case yet, the station said it's already on the road, but this is just two days left." Fuman said, "Slave, I want to tell the emperor that the monthly account over Uchikura will earn the emperor 80,000 silver. Then. "

Li Jianting didn't want to think about it. She unexpectedly said, "... Isn't Uchikura Shusho new?"

"Yes, the emperor, it was recommended by the slaves," Fu Man frowned, "Master Xue Xiuyi and Xue, who served in the former households."

Xue Xiuzuo's elder brother, Li Jianting's eyes sink slightly.

"If you want to say that Master Xue, you are really a genius!" Fu Man said, "I did n’t just take up the post, I knew how to save money for the court, and all the officials, businessmen, and businessmen who lived in the capital were governed."

"How to say?"

"Emperor, you have to pay taxes on all the goods you bring in," Fu Man whispered to Li Jianting, "This account is not easy to collect. There are too many people who owe tax money. They are not honest. This Xue Adults just have a way to not only collect the accounts well, but also arrange for the emperor to enter into the warehouse. "

Neicang Dianshou manages the monthly tribute to the local capital. The emperor in the palace eats half of the fruits and vegetables from here. He has to deal with merchants and local officials. Ge Qingqing pays taxes here. The quality of Neicang is not high. The tax collectors are all small officials. They are close to the nephew. Over time, the nephew can count.

Li Jianting said, "So much?"

"It's still small," Fu Man held his finger and settled his account with Li Jianting. "Besides, the merchants in the Eighth City, for the time being, the merchants in Juexi Thirteen and Hezhou are rich. The emperor is now rampant. They are opportunistic and go to Zhongbo. In business, no longer pay attention to etiquette and honour, and they are more generous in food and clothing than metropolitan officials. These people are willing to spend money for themselves, but they are not willing to pay the court, they must be beaten.

"Xue Pingjing is so powerful?" Li Jianting pretended not to know, "I have never heard of it before."

"It used to be a suitable place," Fu Man complimented. "Thanks to the emperor's wisdom to see the beads!"

Li Jianting watched Fengquan pass through the window and knew that Kong Yan had arrived, so he whispered to Fuman, "You can do this well, and see him in the next day."

Blessed with joy, Fu Man held back the blanket. When he was outside, he only saluted Kong Yan, and nodded slightly to Fengquan.

Fengquan congratulated outside the door: "Emperor, Yuan Fu is here."

***

Ji Gang was sleeping in the courtyard with a rattan chair. Xiao Yanhe, lying on the side of a rattan chair, quietly painted a beard on Ji Gang's face with a brush.

"Atatu Buddha," whispered, "Big tiger."

"Grandpa is mighty. Tigers are the most mighty."

Ji Gang's nose was itchy and he sneezed violently. The two children immediately hid behind the rattan chair. Ji Gang couldn't wait to wipe his face, lifted Xiao's back collar, and pinched his true beard, pretending to be angry: "It's a disturbing dream, I need to clean up the two of you!"

Xiao Yan thought Ji Gang was going to hit himself and hugged his head. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang lifted him up. His beard was like a pen dipped in ink, and Xiao Yan's cheek was blackened.

When Huo Lingyun came in, he saw Xiao Kun and running wild around the rattan chair. He walked along the promenade to the eaves. Fei Sheng was holding his shoulders to watch the excitement, and said to Huo Lingyun: "Look at Shizi. "

Huo Lingyun nodded his head to see it, and asked, "Is there a gentleman in the house?"

Fei Sheng then looked away, looked at Huo Lingyun, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Huo Lingyun took out the letter in his sleeve pocket. This is the letter Ge Qingqing presented to Jin Yiqi. It is all about the movement of the uncle. It has been opened and read. He said, "Look at it."

Fei Sheng took the letter and read it.

The sunlight in the courtyard basks in the eaves, and the newly painted paint on it is bright and bright, hiding the old days of the house.

After reading the letter, Fei Sheng looked calm and continued to ask, "Have you seen Qiao Tianya?"

"I didn't see him," Huo Lingyun said, "I took the three teams out of the city early in the morning."

"You're waiting." Fei Sheng folded the letter, turned to open the bamboo curtain, and saluted after entering. "Master, Ge Qingqing has sent a letter. It concerns the transfer of the governor of the capital of the capital, Jin Yiqi, who dare not take the idea, got Look at the master first. "

Gao Zhongxiong stopped talking, and Shen Zechuan raised the folding fan to let Gao Zhongxiong sit down. He only removed the gauze in recent days, and gently pushed the folding fan with his right hand, and said to Fei Sheng: "Come here."

Fei Sheng opened the letter and presented it to Shen Zechuan.

"Shao Chengbi ..." Shen Zechuan said, "I remember that there was no such person in the review of Xian Denian, did Chen Zhen recommend it?"

"Master," Fei Sheng reminded, "It's the Shaw of the Ministry of Defense."

Shen Zechuan's leisurely expression narrowed slightly. He looked at it again and said, "Yong Yinian's War Department Shao?" He looked at Fei Sheng and quickly recalled, "... this is the War Department waiter who was jailed by Ji Lei Go after the Donggong case. Shao Chengbi? "

"The master has a good memory, it is him." Fei Sheng said, "The eight major battalions were renamed the capital, and all officers with more than six grades were dismissed. They were recommended by Chen Zhen of the Ministry of Defense, and reviewed by the Cabinet Minister. Shao Chengbi, whose name is now changed to 'Chengbi'. Ge Qingqing said that this person did not leave Lidu at all these years, and stayed beside Zhao sin Temple to sell buns. "

"Shao Chengbi is Chen Zhen's brother-in-law. It is reasonable for Chen Zhen to save him, but he should be in his sixties." Shen Zechuan closed the folding fan again. ? "

"Not only that, Master, he dumbed his throat to blind people, and blinded his eyes," Fei Sheng said.

Chen Zhen was recommended by the Ministry of Defense as a number of good men. This person, like Cen Yu, was a wise man with a good eye. But Dudu was in a critical period of survival. He gave the post of Governor of the Army to the elderly Shao Chengbi. Is it because Dudu really has no generals, or is Shao Chengbi capable?

"The emperor turned on the old minister," Zhou Gui looked at Shen Zechuan, "this is Zhao Xue, the old case of Yonggong's East Palace."

Kong Lingdao: "How can it be so easy."

"Eight cities have not yet eliminated the hidden dangers. If the emperor is to reverse the case for the Prince of the East Palace at this moment, he must first capture the remnants of the family." Yao Wenyu covered the tea cup. "She only stabilized the situation and could not take this risk."

Li Jianting killed the chicken and tamarins and scared Helien Hou in bed with a scepter. The remaining companies immediately voluntarily paid part of the land tax. Nian Du just breathed a sigh of relief, and spared no effort to rebuild the capital. If Li Jianting reverses the case at this moment, it will be harmful to Nian.

"The old Donggong case involved countless officials, and to be reversed, there must be regulations and time," Yao Wenyu continued, "can't be in a hurry."

He also gently reminded Shen Zechuan that the old East Palace case was more difficult than the defeat of Shen Weibing.

"Shaw's long hidden," said Shen Zechuan, "this matter has to ask Qiao Tianya."

When Qiao Tianyahai returned, he unloaded his armor in the side hall before meeting Shen Zechuan in the main house. He read Ge Qingqing's letter and said, "If it's Shao Bo, then there will be more troops in Beiyuan Campus."

"Shao belongs to the Ministry of Defense, and Shao Chengbi is also the servant of the Ministry of Defense. He is not only familiar with the details of the troop deployment in various places, but also the topographic map of Zhongbo." You have to go back to Canton. "

If Yin Chang is still there, Shen Zechuan will be able to sit firmly in Duanzhou. Without Yin Chang, Shen Zechuan must go to Cizhou to coordinate the defense forces in Ci and Dun.

"Yes," Qiao Tianya folded the letter into a crane. "During the period of" San Yao ", Shao was considered a goalkeeper. The Ministry of War was not like the other five. Shao Bo was the assistant to be carried by the Taifu. It was true."

He said 'Three Yaos' refers to the fact that three of the cabinet's senior officials came from the Yao family in Jincheng during the reign of Emperor Yong'an. Among them, Yao Wenyu's grandfather was the mainstay.

"My father, for the sake of peace, went to the flower family after the Taifu went to jail, and Shao Bo cut off his robe with his father." Said he had been beheaded. "

"Since Shao Chengbi was carried by the Taifu, he should be called a" teacher "," Fei Sheng said. "The master is a student of Taifu. In this way, we have something to do with him."

"Many people were carried by the Taifu in Yongyi years. Although Shao Bo was one of them, he did not deal with the East Palace or Taifu. Moreover, Shao was convicted of Li's crime, so naturally Li's to vindicate. "Qiao Tianya wiped off the dust on his hands.

"But," Zhou Gui wondered, "Don't Yuan Zhuo say that the Empress can't take risks at this moment?"

"The Empress really can't take risks at this moment, as long as Shao Chengbi defeats the defending army of Zhongbo," the teacup under Yao Wenyu's palm has been cold.

Xiao Chi went east, was emptied from the north, China Bo was helpless, and when did he not wait until now?

"If it really hits," Zhou Gui said, "we still have a tiger!"

"The tiger's temper is impatient, and someone must be on his side to urge him." Shen Zechuan cheered up. "... Fei Sheng, tell Master, we're going to go back to Cizhou."
