The next day, the king walked out of the dormitory with beauty, both of them were radiant and radiant, slightly different: one was as tall as the tender and green onions, heroic and cool, and the other was like a quietly blooming begonia, beautiful and compelling.

Of course, the glamorous one will not be the emperor.

Deng Fatzi silently bled and shed tears in his heart. How could his aunt be compared to a man!

The eunuchs who were accompanying in front of the door all looked straight, and their mouths almost drooled when they couldn't close them. The king's cold and sharp gaze swept away, and everyone was drenched in snow and water, and they quickly lowered their eyes and bowed down, and respectfully sent the two masters out.

An unpretentious but inconspicuous ochre-red carriage slowly drove out of the Xihua Gate and headed for the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. When she got to the ground and put Shen Meiren down, the person in the car said something, Shen Yifei's face was slightly red, and he bowed slightly to watch the car go away.

Seeing that his attitude was so respectful, Menzi secretly guessed who was in the car, and greeted Shen Cairen with a smile.

Seeing this sissy who was almost blind and almost didn't attract the officials to watch the door, he snorted secretly, shook his sleeves, strode into his office area with his hands behind his back, closed the door, and out of sight.

In the early years, Yao Shangshu and Dong Ge Lao were a little bit at odds, and the two always couldn't get together. Yao Wenyuan is only five or six years younger than Dong Ge, but now that Dong Ge has climbed to a high position, he is still moving from the second-grade position, and it is impossible not to hold his breath in his heart. I have always wanted to arrange for my nephew to enter the Ministry of Industry to get a real shortage of low grade and oil and water, but as a result, a Qin Feng was parachuted into the general as a supervisor, and if he didn't do anything, he would stare at the people below to work and then check all kinds of material reports and account exchanges, even the waiter of the Ministry of Industry had to give him a little face, and Li Mingsong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was even more happy to throw those things that offended people to this yellow-haired child who didn't know the height of the sky, but he secretly wiped out the accounts of previous years, and he was too busy to entertain himself recently. When he didn't know that there were many loopholes in the Dushui Supervision (Zhanghe canal, Jinliang, embankment and other river engineering affairs) that needed to be filled urgently! This year's wind and rain are smooth and there are no floods, but the coming year may not be! As long as something happens, Li Mingsong can't run away!

Thinking about it now, the emperor suddenly installed people into the Ministry of Industry, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing that his nephew didn't come in. Why don't you change your way and have a good relationship with the Qin family?

Yao Shangshu began to think about whether there were any unmarried nephews in his family, so he was willing to marry a daughter of the Qin family......

The thoughts of the officials of the various ministries and yamen are naturally unknown to the emperor. She had something to do when she went out today, so she instructed the coachman to drive the car directly to the West Market.

Gu Zhaoling was analyzing the information collected by the brothers from all walks of life, when he heard someone from the door report that a guest had come to see him.

"The Pavilion Master is not here?" This is Xiaoyao Pavilion, the front teahouse has a stage, and the back is separated into a small courtyard to entertain distinguished guests, and a lot of small dramas are raised to meet some needs of the guests, which is a relatively large stronghold of the Weihu Gang. In the past, those who wanted to inquire about things would most likely find Xiao Er here, and Xiao Er would send a message to him depending on the importance of the situation. Can you come here and directly name and see yourself......

Gu Zhaoling frowned slightly. "Who's coming? Is there a token? ”

"Where do you and I need tokens for friendship." An unfamiliar and familiar voice came from outside the window, startling Gu Zhaoling almost without drawing his sword.

Nima! This is the Chamber of Secrets! Third floor! No stairs to come up! Only by flying! This man is so blatant—is it all decoration when they help the people?

In the middle of his thoughts, the visitor also arrived, he was a slender young man, but seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful bearing, and his inner breath cultivation was extremely high, and he couldn't feel the existence of the other party!

Behind the young man was a chubby man, who couldn't see his age, with a white face and no beard, a pair of gloomy little eyes, dripping and turning, his eyes swept seven or eight times in the building, and confirmed that there was no one else, so he whispered to the young man: "Master, the slave will go down and make tea for you." ”

The boy smiled and nodded. "Go, go, don't freak out the flowers."

The fat man was stunned and jumped out of the window. The second shopkeeper who came to deliver the message from Xiaoyao Pavilion turned pale, stood in front of the window and held on to the window lattice, looked at himself in fear, and got a reassuring look and signal, and then his footsteps floated down in a vague manner.

Gu Zhaoling was speechless.

Of course he knew this person, and he was a customer introduced by the thief. However, there was no six-fingered thief to introduce, and he had also met with the boy before, in the three-fold stone garden in the West Market.

"It turned out to be Huang Gongzi. Disrespectful and disrespectful. Of course, Gu Zhaoling would not say some mean and sour words to stab the other party, and he was not stunned without eyes. This person can't say that he is the son of a noble and high-ranking official, or he may be the dragon son and phoenix grandson of the clan camp. Instead, he should hug each other's thighs!

Let the seat be teaed, the other party asked about the recent gossip on the rivers and lakes, and directly said the purpose of coming today.

"Does the Tiger Gang have a stronghold in Huainan?"

"Naturally, there is." Gu Zhaoling smiled slightly, "I don't know what Huang Gongzi is interested in in Huainan?" ”

"Do you carry the news and letters by carrier pigeons, or by acquaintances of the caravan dart board?"

Gu Zhaoling was slightly embarrassed.

Nima, is this a trade secret?

In fact...... It's not a secret. Everybody does it.

"Both." He looked helpless.

"Have you ever heard of robbers halfway down the road?"

"I've heard it occasionally, but the robbers are all small caravans, some big business houses, as long as they play a clear banner, and then have the official customs clearance name on their bodies, the general mountain bandits dare not make a move."

"In your opinion, the bandits did not dare to act rashly because of their small numbers? Or is it because of the fear of the government? ”

"It's all there." Small businesses don't have many things, although for them it is also the blood capital of a family or even several families, but after all, it is not too difficult to scrape together money and start again, as long as people are fine. Unlike large merchants, the goods of that convoy sometimes have to be supplied to several places, and some are even items that need to be used in the yamen, and the government naturally attaches great importance to them.

"How many bandits do you think there should be?"

"Thirty or fifty."

The young man pursed his lips, his eyes slightly dark. "In addition to the fact that the road from Yingtianfu to Huainanfu is not very peaceful, what other place do you know?"

Gu Zhaoling pondered the other party's intentions, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Yangzhou City goes north to the East China Sea coast, Jinling Mansion and Huainan Mansion meet, and the capital goes southwest to Heibi Mountain at the junction of Shaanxi and Ningbo. ”

Heibi Mountain ......

Gao Shenghan felt as if he had heard the name of the place somewhere.

She couldn't think of it for a while, and she didn't delve into it anymore, she just looked at Gu Zhaoling with a smile and said, "Thank you." In exchange, it is better to tell you a message. ”
