Ding Shang came to Jicheng from Cangzhou two years ago, in Cangzhou, he owned a silk shop, to Jicheng, he still did the old business, rented a store in the city to do the old business, with the expansion of Jicheng, the location of his shop from the original some remote areas actually became one of the most prosperous commercial areas, with the breakthrough in silk reeling and satin technology in the past two years, the price of silk has fallen sharply, and in Dahan, there is no restriction on the wearing of clothes like other countries, The wealthy Han people also wore more silk and satin, and Ding Shang's business was much better than before, he used to work alone, and now he hired two helpers.

Ding Shang is in his early forties this year, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a successful person, although he is a little older, but he is alone and very wealthy, naturally he has become a sweet spot in the eyes of many people, many matchmakers come to the door to propose, but to everyone's surprise, all the propositions were rejected by Ding Shang.

Although Ding Shang opened a silk shop, he was dressed very ordinary, but today, Ding Shang put on a silk jacket for the first time, and the two helpers also lived in the shop, and at this time they also helped Ding Shang button the jacket, and then tie the belt, and brought a velvet hat for Ding Shang.

Dressed properly, Ding Shang looked at the two helpers and smiled, patted the shoulders of the two, turned around to open the door, and walked out.

"Ouch, Boss Ding, it's really strange today, dressed so well? I haven't seen you wear it like this in previous years! As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a familiar voice came to his ears.

Ding Shang looked back at Yi Anlin, the owner of the silk business next door, who was also in the silk business, and was looking at him with a smile on his face at this time.

"Today is a special day!" Ding Shang smiled, "Of course you have to dress better, isn't the same with Boss Yi?" ”

Yi Anlin laughed: "Yes, yes, this is the first celebration since the founding of our Han Dynasty, I heard that the king will come out when the time comes, to tell the truth." Like us little people, there are not a few opportunities to see the king in this life, so naturally we have to dress better, maybe the king can also see us, if we don't dress well, it will inevitably disappoint the king! ”

"With so many people, how could the king see us?" Ding Shang shook his head and said.

"A piece of heart!" Yi Anlin patted Ding Shang's shoulder, Ding Shang's body couldn't help but tremble, and his shoulder collapsed down.

"What's wrong with Boss Ding?" Yi Anlin looked at him strangely.

"Where, where, my shoulder has always been a little sore these days. Boss Yi has a lot of hands, and I can't bear to shoot it! Ding Shang explained.

"Oh, that's right, Boss Nading has to be careful, and find a doctor to take a look earlier, it's freezing this day, and if you get an old illness, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, yes, but in the past two days, I can't find a doctor!" Ding Shang said with a smile.

"It's the same." Yi Anlin said with a smile.

The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the assembly point. This time, the parade was organized on a block-by-block basis, and the people who were allowed to participate in the parade in one block gathered together and set off together. When we arrived at the assembly site, it was already full of people. However, Ding Shang only glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.

Because two railings had been erected there, and one after the other were being inspected there before entering the street in front.

"Strange. Why do you still need to be examined? Yi Anlin muttered to himself, turning his head to look at Ding Shang, "Boss Ding." What's wrong with you? Something unsightly? ”

"My shoulder hurts." Ding Shang said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter."

"Nothing!" Ding Shang gritted his teeth and followed Yi Anlin closely.

In front, Li Xu from the National Security Bureau held a big dog in his hand, standing on the edge of the fence, his eyes were blazing at the people who were being inspected, this block is Jicheng Old Street, the permanent residents who live here have also lived in Jicheng for at least two years, there was no such strict security check, but last night, suddenly received a notice from the superiors that all the people involved in the parade must undergo security checks before leaving, and he belongs to a special department of the National Security Bureau.

The big dog in his hand has been very quiet, lying on the ground, his eyes are half open and half closed, and he doesn't seem to have woken up yet.

Ding Shang walked to the fence, raised his hands high, a soldier groped up and down, nodded and signaled that he could pass, Ding Shang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped over the fence, walked inside, and when he walked in front of the big dog, he glanced at the huge dog curiously.

At this moment, the big dog, which originally looked half-dead, suddenly stood up, whining in his mouth, stood up on his front legs, and put his two dog legs on Ding Shang's body.

Ding Shang was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground all of a sudden, and before he could react, Li Xu's eyes widened and he yelled, "Hold him, hold him." ”

Although several soldiers didn't know why, they still pounced as fast as they could, holding down Ding Shang's legs and feet, who couldn't stop struggling.

"Official, official, this is Ding Shang in our neighborhood, an old neighborhood, what's wrong?" Yi Anlin, who was behind Ding Shang, was so shocked by this sudden change that his face turned pale, and he watched the big dog's tongue sweep around Ding Shang's face, for fear that the beast would bite down with one bite.

Li Xu ignored Yi Anlin's shouts, groped around Ding Shang's body, got nothing for a long time, and couldn't help but be puzzled on his face, but the big dog was still on Li Shang's body, whining and whining, biting Ding Shang's jacket with a big mouth, and kept tearing.

Li Xu's mind lit up, he pulled out the knife with a choked sound, and with a snort, he cut through the satin surface of Ding Shang's jacket and tore it violently.

Seeing Li Xu's actions, Ding Shang closed his eyes in despair.

Among the thick cotton wool in the jacket, bags of things were carefully sewn into it, Li Xu tore off a small bag, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Drag this bastard up for me." He yelled.

Several soldiers set Ding Shang up, Li Xu took off Ding Shang's padded jacket in two by two, and took out a bag of things from inside, this is nothing else, this is a bag of gunpowder, if this bastard brings such a large amount of gunpowder to the square of the parliament building and detonates it with a bang, it will be a lot of fun.

Ding Shang, who was stripped of his padded jacket, closed his eyes, his body was shivering from the cold wind of the early morning, but the despair in his heart was ten times more piercing than the cold outside. In the end, it still didn't work out.

"You bastard, spy." Li Xu went up and said a few mouths, "Come on, take him away." ”

Yi Anlin looked at all this dumbfounded, "This, how is this possible?" ”

In an inconspicuous small building not far from the parliament building, Shangguan Hong and Cao Tianci sat opposite each other, and from time to time someone hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words to Cao Tianci.

"Another one!" Cao Tianci raised a finger and said to Shangguan Hong.

"Eight have already been caught." Shangguan Hong shook his head. "Are you sure you won't slip through the net?"

"It's impossible, this time all the people who participated in the parade and celebration were able to enter the parliament square in the end, the number of people was limited, these people were all old city neighborhoods, and if they wanted to enter, they had to go through my inspection, or they could hide it, but they couldn't hide it."

"Anyway, how did you come up with this trick to train dogs to smell gunpowder?" Shangguan Hong asked with interest.

"I didn't come up with it. It was the king who told me, and the king said that the nose of a dog is many times more sensitive than our sense of smell, so I train some such dogs. It can help us do things that a lot of people can't. That's why we trained the NSA to train such dogs, because gunpowder is too destructive, and I originally wanted to be prepared, and I didn't want to use it this time. These spies are amazing, and if it weren't for the dogs, they would have been able to get them in. Cao Tianci stood up. Stretched, "Okay, Shangguan, now that everyone has passed the inspection, they should be fine." Go ahead and get busy, I'd like to interrogate the captured people and see which side sent them. ”

"Does this still need to be judged?"

"The trial still has to be tried." Cao Tianci smiled, turned around and walked out.

This small building is the headquarters for the security protection of this celebration. For ordinary people, they naturally don't know how strict the security procedures of this celebration are.

In the parliament building, Gao Yuan was chatting and laughing with Fan Zhuo, the envoy of Chu State, Fan Zhuo was envoying to Han this time, not for this celebration of the Han Kingdom, he actually came to propose marriage to Princess Shuyu, but it happened to be a meeting, so he also became a guest invited by Gao Yuan.

The infantry is already in his thirties, but he has never married, which was originally a heart disease of Gao Yuan, but he was a little surprised that the Chu people came to propose marriage, but when he heard the reason, he smiled, when the infantry escorted Princess Shuyu back to Yingcheng of Chu from Jicheng, or at that time, Princess Shuyu remembered this iron-footed general, and the infantry had been ordered by him to return from Jinyang, if the infantry himself agreed, then this marriage would be completed.

Fan Zhuo has a deep relationship with the Han State, he is the backstage boss of the largest silk merchant in the Chu State, and the Han State is precisely the largest importer of silk, so he was sent because he had a good relationship with the Han State and was easy to talk.

Fan Zhuo was very happy, because judging from Gao Yuan's tone, as long as the infantry agreed, there would be no problem with this marriage, and the princess of Chu State married into the Han State, although she was only married to a general, but the relationship between this general and the king of Han was extraordinary, and it could be regarded as adding a little weight to the peace of Han and Chu, or it could play a role in the future.

Just as he was talking happily, Cao Tianci strode in, "Your Majesty, all the people participating in the parade have already entered the designated area, and there is still half an hour before it begins. ”

"Well, everything is going well, right?"

"It's okay, I caught some guys who were going to make trouble, and there was a group of people who actually carried gunpowder, if they were allowed to mix into the square of the parliament building, I was afraid that it would cause a lot of casualties." Cao Tianci smiled and turned his head to look at Fan Zhuo, "After our interrogation, some of these people actually said that they were sent by Great Chu. ”

"It's impossible." Fan stood up clumsily, "Minister Cao, this is not a joke. How could our Da Chu do such a thing. ”

Cao Tianci smiled, "Yes, I also think they are talking nonsense, so they turned over the torture, and now they confessed, saying that they were sent by Lu Chao, and the purpose was to sabotage our celebration." ”

Fan Zhuo's expression was relieved, and he smiled bitterly, "Minister Cao, you can't make jokes like this, you scared me out of sweat." ”

"Lord Fan would be so careless, it's really funny." Cao Tianci said lightly. (To be continued......)
