The shopkeeper didn't expect a master to come out of nowhere, not only to give himself anger, but also to return the silver, and was immediately overjoyed, and nodded busily:

"Enough, enough, these are only six or seven taels of silver, these are more than enough! I'm going to find you! The shopkeeper got up from the ground as if the beating had never happened.

Xu Mian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No need to look for it, this old man also sang a tune just now, that song is not good, my son-in-law likes it very much, even if the rest of the silver is given to the old man by these few rewards, right?" ”

The old man who sang the song was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the child and said, "Xi'er, you see we have silver, grandpa will buy you meat to eat?" ”

The kid hummed, chirped, and looked happy.

"This good man, can we go?" The thousand households carefully accompanied the smiling face.

Xu Mian glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and saw that he nodded without a trace, so he waved his hand and said, "Get out!" “

The thousand households were afraid of his skills, and when they heard this "roll", they were immediately overjoyed, and ran out with a roll.

The three people behind him didn't even want the Pu knife on their waists, so they hurriedly followed, and only after running away did they hear the shouting and scolding of the four people.

Xu Mian shook his head and was about to sit down again, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the rain outside the door, the sound of horses' hooves was far away at first, but it took a moment to get to him, Xu Mian frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "This horse is coming so fast?" “

glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and saw that his expression was also a little dignified, and he felt more and more that the sound of horses' hooves was not good.

Looking up at the rain outside the door, but the heavy rain outside the door was dripping non-stop, and the accumulated mist was very large, and it looked blurry at a glance, only a few horses rushed over, and the first person was tall and big, and the horses in his hands were like flying, and he shouted: "Drive!" Drive! Although the rain was loud, it didn't drown out the man's voice, which shows that he is a powerful character.

Xu Mian and the others were secretly taken aback, and looked more and more at the rain, the sound of the horse's hooves came very quickly, and the horse's back slowly became clear in the rain, Xu Mian was taken aback when he saw it, although it was in the rain, he still saw at a glance that this person was also wearing the clothes of the Han Wang's mansion, and the four people just now.

"Could it be that they found us, or are they the helpers of those four!" Although his martial arts are high, he can't stand the crowd, besides, he still has the prince by his side to protect, so he can't help but be surprised! The right hand subconsciously pressed the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

Zhu Zhanji and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, and their brows furrowed slightly, this is the fiefdom of King Han, once his identity is revealed, there is only one way to die, and he can't help but be a little worried.

Wang Zhen was even more panicked, but these days in the palace are not in vain, he knows how to be happy and angry, and his face is the same as just now, but his eyes are staring at the door.

The man on horseback rode a white fast horse, and did not pause outside the door for a moment, but just whipped like an inch, and ran over, followed by several people behind him, and the rain was very heavy, and the water mist stirred up quickly drowned the figures of several people, leaving a foggy patch.

The three of them each secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Mian let go of his right hand on his waist and got back into his seat.

"Looks like something big has happened!" Xu Mian lowered his voice and said.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, a faint red jade rose on his slightly pale face, and the face of this Yushu Lingfeng became more and more handsome, the two sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, while the heavy rain is still falling, it is better for us to leave early?" “

Xu Mian nodded and said, "What His Highness said is that there is a water mist cover, and you are a little sure if you want to come out of the city gate!" “

Just as the three of them were talking in a low voice, a sound of footsteps sounded, Xu Mian turned his head to see that it was the shopkeeper, and hurriedly threw a look at Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji understood and stopped talking.

The shopkeeper walked over with two plates of dishes in his hand, put the dishes in his hand on the table, and then hugged the three of them and said, "Thank you to the three of you for saving you just now, otherwise I don't know what happened today?" These two dishes are considered a thank you gift to the three of them? ”

The three of them hurriedly bowed and thanked them.

The shopkeeper's gaze swept from the faces of the three of them one by one, and when it fell on Xu Mian's body, his eyes quickly glanced at the embroidered spring knife on his waist, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the store, smiled indifferently, and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly?" ”

The shopkeeper seemed to see him with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, not like a bad person, plus he came to the rescue just now, and his heart was also relaxed, hearing him say this, he nodded, and said, "Dare to ask the three guest officers if they want to go out of the city?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was shocked, glanced at Xu Mian, and said without moving: "Why did the old man say this?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "The old restaurant has also been open for decades, and the most guests from all over the world come on weekdays, and the most people they see are all kinds of people, listening to the dialects of various places, and the three guest officers came in with anxious faces, they must be people in a hurry!" After a pause, he said: "The three of them have a Hebei accent, I think it must be the people in the capital area, and the old man wants to come, the three of them are going out of the city?" “

Xu Mian's face changed slightly, he pressed the right hand on his waist, and involuntarily held the handle of the knife, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he fabricated charges in order to invite merit and reward on weekdays, unscrupulously expanded the scope of involvement, and created a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, at this time, for the safety of the prince, killing a few people is nothing. At this time, just waiting for Zhu Zhanji to look at him, he pulled out a knife and killed.

But Zhu Zhanji's expression was as usual, his face did not show a look of surprise, he smiled, and said: "The store has good eyesight, we really want to go out of the city, I don't know if the store knows that this city can be out?" “

The shopkeeper looked at him with a smile on his face, and had a good impression of him, and thought for a while: "If the prince had come earlier, this city gate would have been good, but I'm afraid it won't be easy these days?" “

Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "Why is this? ”

The shopkeeper didn't speak immediately, but pointed out the door and said loudly: "Childe, can you see that the ancient city?" ”

Zhu Zhanji looked up, only to see that in the hazy water vapor, an ancient city could be faintly seen standing a few feet away, and the city wall was full of people, as if there were soldiers guarding it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this city is east to the north of Bogu City, east to the west of Langyagu, and northeast to the west of Lixian County, and northeast to the south of the ancient city of Le'an, and northeast to the south of Jiaxiayi, east to the north of the ancient city of Langhuai County, and northeast into the sea."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "The guest officer is very knowledgeable, this Le'an ancient city is just as the son said, there were no soldiers to guard it in the past, but some time ago, I don't know what happened, this ancient city that no one cared about in the past suddenly had more people, and the officials in the city issued a notice, people who want to go north need the road guidance given by the local officials to pass?" ”

"What kind of reasoning is this, could it be that this ancient city belongs to the imperial court, why did those officials do this?" Xu Mian said indignantly.

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's not that these officials did it, but the current King of Han personally gave an order, and most of these soldiers guarding the city are also the guards of the Han Palace?" ”

"King Han?" Xu Mian was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect that this Han King would have so much power in his fiefdom.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, summed up the experience of the rise and fall of chaos in history with his advisers, and agreed that an important reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty was that "the lord was weak and the minister was strong", and the imperial court could not get the clan domain.

In the early days of the establishment of the domain, the palace not only had a minister, but also the military ministers were served by the lords. The royal officials can also participate in the politics of the province and be the head of the local administration, and can also be the commander of the capital and hold the local military power. It can be described as extremely powerful. In their own feudal country, the prince has considerable judicial and personnel powers, and his officials and subordinates are selected within the territory of the feudal country or within the military positions of the department, except for the long history and the commander of the town guard and the commander of the guard, and the vassal king has the right to kill them. If the people in the territory dare to violate the vassal king, the prince shall be punished, and the court and the magistrate shall not raise questions. At this time, the vassal king ruled the people and divided the vassal tin soil. The prince may summon the political envoys, the commanders, and the officials below them in the city where the prince lives, except for the first and fifteenth days of each month, when they must go to the palace to wait for them.

The prince can send envoys directly to the front of the emperor, and those who dare to block it will be punished as traitorous ministers. The Feng Xianguan was beheaded for the crime of dissociating the relationship between relatives and relatives if he heard about the prince's small mistake or the big mistake of the prince. Even if the vassal king is really guilty, he cannot increase the punishment, but can only summon the capital division, and the emperor will send him down, and at worst he will be demoted to a concubine, or he will be punished in person, or he will send an official to give him a blessing and misfortune to promote reform. But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that after the partition, the kings built a lot of construction and skilled craftsmen, and the officials of the Jingjiang palace bullied and commanded Geng He, etc., and gradually felt that the power of the vassal king was a threat to the imperial power, especially the imperial grandson also asked him: "If you are not appeased, the kings will be royal; If the kings are not appeased, they will be crowned with them". Therefore, it is also stipulated that the prince is not allowed to make the pilgrimage at the same time, and only one prince can come to the court, and after returning to the feudal country safely, he can send someone to report to the other princes in the form of letters; Moreover, when entering Beijing for the Hajj, the stay in Beijing was only about ten days, that is, it was repatriated to the feudal state to prevent collusion between the vassal king and the courtiers.
