In the city of Shendu in June, it is already hot and unbearable. Even in the letter workshop where Yishui flows through, it will only be slightly cool at night.

The street drums are passed, the square gate is closed, and the pedestrians on the street are extinct, but the Jin Wuwei ranger rides along the street and patrols the east and west long streets. In the squares, there is not a dead silence, the stove lights and candles are dotted, and there is no shortage of people wandering on the cross street.

Especially in the square area where some powerful people live, there is a different kind of wonderful after nightfall, the lanterns are set up, the sheng song is charming, attracting many wanderers in the square to gather outside the high wall, even if you can only hear the occasional leakage of silk and bamboo song and music, it can also make people fascinated and linger.

Located in the middle of the city, the residents are not as dense as the inner city area, and the atmosphere is inevitably deserted after nightfall.

But this situation has changed recently, the north and south add Wuhou shop, especially the south side is the Jinwuwei Street disciple distribution place, the door is not closed all night, day and night has nearly 100 Wuhou continue to patrol, to the night there are more rangers to run back and forth.

When it comes to the law and order situation, Luo Nan is definitely second to none, and he can stay open at night, of course, provided that those Jinwuwei street disciples and martial marquis will not enter the house to harass the residents during the patrol.

When it comes to the illustrious courtyard, it is naturally the residence of the three kings. Not alone, even in the entire Shendu City, the three kings are the only ones who live in the palace. Once it is night, the lights inside and outside the palace are bright, illuminating almost half of the square area, and the bright picture is worthy of this Xuanhe.

This piece of Xuan He has nothing to do with ordinary people, but living together in the same square does not prevent them from getting a little wet. After all, for ordinary households, lamp oil and candle wax is also a large expense, so after nightfall, there is no shortage of people gathered on the street of Fang Street, or spinning linen, or chatting, listening to the music from the palace, but also leisurely.

The only thing that is not beautiful is that the street is walking up and down, and those street disciples and Wuhou are too annoying. Especially whenever the horse gallops by, the smoke and dust stirred up will not disperse for a long time, not only choking people's hearts, but also staining the silk and linen in the hands of women.

"These soul-destroying street ghosts, wandering all day long, and the thieves don't see one arrested, do they want to visit his mother?"

The woman in Luli had a pungent temperament, patting the dust on the fabric, and cursing in a low voice while pointing at the backs of the street disciples who were wandering back and forth.

Occasionally, there are street gangsters who come forward to drive forward, while slowly packing up their things, while calling for the husband's finger and scolding Huai. The Jin Wuwei street disciples in other states may still be able to make them a little jealous, as for those martial marquis and fangding, there is no shortage of acquaintances who often come and go, and they really don't dare to offend these spicy women.

"Poor ghosts, born adulterous! The mother's womb brought out the sour gas, and there was no one at all! ”

When the martial marquis heard these accusations, most of them frowned, and rarely replied, whoever wanted to stare and scold a few words, maybe the people would rush out of their own relatives. Occasionally, the scoundrel has to laugh a few words: "Mother-in-law knows beauty and ugliness? Lao Tzu is dressed in official clothes, isn't he more powerful than your man? ”

"Sharp-beaked monkey gills, fox squirrels grown into spirits! Your aunt doesn't know beauty, but she can also recognize your ugliness! ”

Every time he talks about this, someone in the crowd inevitably whispers: "Who said you don't know beauty?" The king of Fangnan is really ......"

The residents are disgusted with these street disciples who disturb the people, and these street disciples themselves are actually miserable. But the officials had no choice but to let them patrol day and night, and even inspect the dust on the trees in the workshop every day, and inevitably scolded and even punished with whips.

It is inevitable to complain after being tired for a long time, thinking that he and others are tired of running day and night, but the palace across the wall in the south of the fang is singing every night, comfortable and happy, which also makes these street disciples resentful: "These nobles do not cultivate or weave themselves, they have cars, live idle, and are afraid of thieves, but they treat us as animals!" ”

Occasionally, there is no shortage of malicious sneers: "You can enjoy wealth and wealth forever?" These nobles persecute our cheap forces, and there are evil eyes watching them from the side, this palace was not the current owner before. If you really have shrewdness, you may be able to share in the riches of this mansion! ”

Although it is just a few gossip mixed with resentment, whether it is the speaker or the listener, whether it is in the heart or not, this is really not enough for outsiders.

In stark contrast to the tired street disciples who patrol back and forth on the street, are the guards inside and outside the Three Kings' Mansion. Because of so many patrol manpower, they are quite idle, especially at night, completely free from the labor of duty, frequent meals, and occasionally even participate in the night banquet in the palace.

The good and bad of people's experiences are often contrasted. People's temperament is also strange, some people can hold back the comfort and enjoy it, and some people can't help but sell cheap.

Fangnan Wuhou Shop is not far from the palace, and occasionally the palace guards will gather in front of the palace, while drinking the cold drink of the palace in the tile urn, while pointing at the gray-faced street disciples in the Wuhou shop, laughing at their lack of manners.

The Jinwuwei street disciples were already full of resentment when they were assigned such a laborious patrol mission, and when they saw those royal servants benefiting from their fatigue, they were not only grateful, but also sneered, and the accumulated resentment was naturally doubled.

One night, because the palace soldiers were too arbitrary in their words and laughter, many Jinwuwei street disciples were indignant, blocking the palace gate and shouting endlessly, almost escalating from a quarrel to a physical conflict.

Liu Youqiu, who has a long history in the palace, rushed out in time and urgently recalled the soldiers back to the palace before the conflict intensified. Naturally, the commander of the Jin Wuwei side hurried to the scene and repelled the emotional street disciples.

"The sergeants are tired of patrolling, sheltering the streets, not closing their doors at night, not leaving no roads behind, and enjoying peace and tranquility, all thanks to this. The king of the palace and others are also quite grateful for this, although they want to play a show of merit, but after all, they dare not speak lightly. ”

Facing the Jin Wuwei people who were still angry, Liu Youqiu looked respectful, and said with no lack of feelings: "Although I am in charge of writing, I am also respectful to the officials and subordinates of the government, and I am the same as you in the corridor, and I dare not criticize people." Jin Wuwei Chen Street used things diligently, taking care of the palace inside and outside, and the few scholars not only could not appreciate this benefit, but instead sneered at it, and later went straight to the king, and they must punish such contempt, not the blood of loyalty and diligence! ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Youqiu made another round, and then turned around and retreated to the house. But there are still smiling words in the palace, and Shengge is still the same, which shows that what Fang Cai said is just kind words.

The people in the palace were so arrogant, and those Jinwuwei street disciples were naturally even more indignant, and some people said angrily: "The noble man is arrogant, how can he ever look down!" Chen Mingzhen begged for the powerful, but used the strength of the disciples to make friends! Although we are lowly pawns, we are also the courage of the imperial court's food supply, not private lackeys! ”

These words were shouted, and the crowd became even more agitated, and even the sound of the commanders present scolding and restraining was drowned out. Fortunately, the street ranger rushed to the time in time, and the street envoy Chen Mingzhen came on horseback, and ordered the ranger to wield the scabbard to barely suppress the crowd, but he didn't dare to patrol again tonight.

By the time he understood the cause of the chaos, Chen Mingzhen's face was already dark, he was obviously ordered by the general Qiu Shenxun to make this arrangement, why did he become a trend of inflammation and flattering the young king?

Although the subordinates were temporarily restrained, there was still dissatisfaction in the eyes of many people looking at Chen Mingzhen, Chen Mingzhen was ashamed, but he didn't dare to attack, just stayed here, and didn't dare to leave.

Early the next morning, as soon as the street drums sounded, Chen Mingzhen had just finished arranging the change of guards, and saw several palace assistants coming out of the fangmen, among whom was one on a horse, who was Shi Liu Youqiu, the head of the palace who falsely accused him yesterday.

Seeing Liu Youqiu riding his horse slowly, Chen Mingzhen suddenly didn't come anywhere, and the horse whip pointed at his subordinates to lead Liu Youqiu to him, and snorted coldly: "How many people made noise in front of Wuhou Shop yesterday, give me a quick handover?" ”

Liu Youqiu laughed when he heard this: "Why did Chen Jie's envoy say this? Not to mention that the government officials are not guilty of any real crimes, even if they lose their manners, they will be punished by their own government rules. If the general thinks that the government rules are not enough to punish, he will serve the king's religion and will go to the imperial city, and the general may wish to go to the lawsuit and hand it over to the department for adjudication. ”

Chen Mingzhen's face became even more ugly after hearing this, he thought a lot in the middle of the night, not that he didn't think about rushing into the palace to directly arrest those few langyan, but the general Qiu Shenqian told him to put pressure on him, and he couldn't go to the palace lightly.

He didn't dare to make his own decisions about this kind of big thing, even if he asked for instructions, General Qiu's residence Jishanfang is located outside the Tianjin Bridge, on the west side of Dingdingmen Street, which is the jurisdiction of the Right Jinwuwei, and the place is close to the imperial city, and it is difficult to find convenience. Now that the door is newly opened, the messenger has not yet had time to return.

Goodbye Liu Youqiu has no fear, and even when it comes to delivering a company, Chen Mingzhen's heart is even more sudden. At present, there are still people in his subordinates who misunderstand him and ask for the young king's family, how dare he let the prisoner come to interrogate.

After a little silence, Chen Mingzhen said coldly: "Today is not Wangshuo, what are you going to do in the imperial city?" ”

"Although the government affairs are small, they are not in the general's case."

Liu Youqiu still had a leisurely expression, and his attitude towards Chen Mingzhen was very friendly: "But since the general asked, this matter also happens to involve the general, but you can also tell you a little." Whether the general knows it or not, the king of the palace is good at law and Lu, and he has made a new song of "Vientiane", which is deeply appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor of God. Although out of the cabinet, there is still elegance and hard to abandon, and the occasional renovation of the daily harmony must be presented to the inner teaching workshop to practice the service. Today's trip is precisely for this purpose. ”

When Chen Mingzhen heard this, she was half curious and half worried: "I have never been close to the palace businessman, how can this matter be related to me?" ”

"The general is loyal and diligent, and he pays attention to the defense of the sideways, and the king's mansion also bears this favor. Even if the king is not a person, even if he feels this benefit, he does not dare to speak lightly, so as not to be involved in the case with the general. But although it can't be expressed in deeds, it can be expressed in the law. Previously, the new tune of the golden phoenix of the "Su Mo Sha" was written in Xia Xi's clumsy pen as "Street Envoy Song", and the new songs were recorded in the inner teaching workshop. ”

Liu Youqiu said this, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "The king is elegant, and the capital is known." The general's loyal and diligent posture soon thought that it would be with this new song and pay homage to the times. ”

After Chen Mingzhen heard this, his face suddenly became sluggish, and Liu Youqiu sang this "Street Envoy Song": "Yu Cao Zhige, Zimo carved the wheel light before, the arsenal forbidden soldiers, the red dust outside the Ti cavalry, the arc of the strong moon is solemn, and the sword is full of frost and light......"

Accompanied by the sound of singing, Liu Youqiu passed through the fangmen and walked along the Yishui River embankment with several mansions in the direction of Tianjin Bridge.
