As the guards shouted, the surrounding guards showed a fierce light, and the weapons in their hands got closer and closer.

In a hurry, Zhao Feng immediately showed his identity.

"Don't move, I'm a rent collector!"

Zhao Feng held the token high, thinking that with his identity, these people would not embarrass him.

But who would have thought that the guards only hesitated for a moment, and then shouted at Zhao Feng again.

"Dare to pretend to be a rent collector, His Majesty the Emperor has never defaulted on rent, and the rent collector has never visited this dynasty, come and take these two down to the thief!"

The guard's words made Zhao Feng speechless for a while.

It is understandable that those who owe rent should be arrested, and those who do not owe rent should be arrested, which is a bit too much to say.

Zhao Feng understood that no one could be scared of him, a big official, and he would not have come out with his identity if he had known.

As the guard's weapons got closer and closer, Zhao Feng felt that he should be able to rush out with his own skills.

But if he messes around, these guards are likely to hurt the peace behind him.

Glancing at An Ning, who was hiding behind him with a face full of fear, Zhao Feng understood that he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Cover your mouth and nose. ”

Zhao Feng whispered to remind An Ning that An Ning could do so.

I saw that a projectile the size of a pinball suddenly appeared in the palm of Zhao Feng's palm, and smashed it down to the ground.

As soon as the projectile hit the ground, a faint puff of white smoke rose, followed by a pungent smell that choked all the guards.

Zhao Feng took this opportunity to cover his mouth and nose, and rushed out of the encirclement directly with An Ning.

This was one of the only two smoke grenades in his thousand boxes.

This thing is not very smoky, but it is made of an extremely irritating plant, and it is said that if you inhale this smoke, you will choke on it and not be able to open your eyes for two hours.

Zhao Feng ran a few steps towards the market with An Ning, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him.

The cavalry around the imperial city must have known about this situation and rushed over to support.

Zhao Feng pulled An Ning into the alley next to him, but the sound of horses' hooves behind him was still getting closer and closer.

The two fled desperately, but the pursuers behind them still did not decrease.

When the two of them were about to get lost in the intricate alley, a cigarette pouch and pot suddenly stretched out from the door of a private house next to them, hooking Zhao Feng in.

The two stumbled into the courtyard, looked up and saw that the weak middle-aged man made a silent movement, and then quickly closed the door.

Soon the sound of horses' hooves passed by the doorway, and they dispersed without stopping.

When the sound of horses' hooves finally disappeared, Zhao Feng and An Ning took a breath.

"Scholar Ji!"

An Ning recognized the appearance of the middle-aged man at a glance, originally they wanted to go to the palace hall to get news, but they didn't expect to meet him here.

I saw Ji Xiaolan beckoning, leading the two of them through an alley and walking deeper into the courtyard for a while.

Finally came to a small courtyard, and Ji Xiaolan dared to speak loudly.

"Weichen see Aninggege, Gege auspicious, Gege, why are you here?

Zhao Feng looked at Ji Xiaolan carefully, he was not like the polite appearance in film and television works, but looked thinner, with his back bent, which was also a common posture for scholars at that time.

The little eyes seem to be a little short-sighted, and they squint at everything.

With a handful of stubble, a teacup-sized cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, he was looking at Zhao Feng curiously.

"This is a rent collector who has come to find Huang Ama, what about Huang Ama?"

An Ning grabbed Ji Xiaolan nervously, Ji Xiaolan smiled, pointed to the backyard and said.

"Gege, don't worry, the emperor is in the back room, this is a courtyard of Heshen, it is very safe. ”

"He Shen also has another courtyard here?"

Zhao Feng and An Ning were a little surprised, he was a person from the Qing Dynasty, and he actually had another courtyard in Datang, and this person's ability to reach the sky was too great.

Ji Xiaolan smiled, didn't say anything, and walked towards the backyard with the two of them.

In the backyard is a small garden, where two people are sitting on a stone bench playing chess.

As soon as he saw Ji Xiaolan coming, he immediately beckoned.

"Ji Xiaolan, come on, how about you take a look at my move?"

Ji Xiaolan walked towards the two of them, one of them was sitting in a flat and stable posture, and he was dressed in a silk costume that was particularly gorgeous.

A folding fan in his hand, writing poems about the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, turned out to be Mr. Du.

He pointed to the chessboard in front of him with a folding fan and knocked twice on the person in front of him.

And the man in front of him had a round face full of richness, a smile on his face all the time, and a groveling look.

But his eyes turned straight away, as if he was hiding a lot of thoughts.

"The emperor's chess skills are superb, and the slaves are willing to bow to the wind. ”

"I don't want you to lose, I really want Ji Xiaolan to see how my move is, if you lose, you will definitely lose. ”

The rich man had been flattering the middle-aged man with a folding fan, and at this time, An Ning ran up quickly and hugged the middle-aged man.

"Amma!"

"An Ning!Why are you here?Ji Xiaolan, what's going on?"

Qianlong looked stunned, and took a closer look to see that this was indeed his beloved daughter, how could she come here?

Ji Xiaolan saluted slowly, pointed to Zhao Feng who was waiting on the side, and said.

"Your Majesty, Gege was brought by this young man, and he is a new rent collector. ”

"Rent collectors? Rent collectors can't bring people over, the imperial city is still far from here. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks he is here to find you. ”

"Looking for me?"

Qianlong pointed at his nose with a fan, looked at Ji Xiaolan and then at Zhao Feng, and suddenly thought of something and patted his head.

"Oh, it's all weird, I almost forgot about the rent, and you pay for it. ”

Qianlong gestured twice at He Shen, and He Shen was also stunned.

This is rent, not silver, and the relics of the rent are all in the hands of the emperor himself, and even he does not have it.

"Your Majesty, there are silver slaves, but this rent ......"

"Hey, look at my brain, what about the token, get my token. ”

Qianlong searched for a long time, and then turned out his token and handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng swept it, the rent settlement was completed, and his task was completed.

But soon another message popped up on the token.

......

Warning: The rent collector is not allowed to leave the space without the permission of the monarch.

......

it! You are allowed to enter but not to go out, this time it is Zhao Feng's turn to be stunned.

He didn't expect that he would follow An Ning and come over secretly, and he couldn't leave directly.

You have to go through the original means and take the trade route back to the capital to leave.

Even Zhao Feng couldn't help it now, and looked at the few people in front of him and asked.

"You ...... Is there a way to get out of here?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, Qianlong sighed, continued to put on the chess game, and then played chess with He Shen.

On the contrary, Ji Xiaolan on the side said helplessly.

"Don't laugh at the rent collector, the emperor has just made a big fuss about the palace, and now the city gates are blocked, and we can't get out. ”

......
