A Zhaojiang River in Zhaojia City, divides the city into east and west, since ancient times, the people of the country are big in the east, and Dongcheng District has naturally become the official government, including the governor's office, the military supervision office, the provincial government, and the city government are all in Dongcheng, so the people here are mostly Han and foreigners, and are known as the "Upper East Side".

The city of Zhaojia is a microcosm of the population and race of the empire, if we roughly divide the society into scholars, agriculture, industry, and commerce according to the traditional social concept, corresponding to the current terminology is politics, agriculture and animal husbandry, industry, and commerce, then the Han people are generally studying, going to school, entering the government, and serving as officials, and have great influence in politics, and the inertia of the local people from the chieftaincy system to this has not been eliminated, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry and primary industry, and the foreigners do not need to mention, commerce and industry are almost all controlled.

Therefore, the people living in Xicheng are generally natives and low-level Han people.

On the morning of this day, Wen Zhao changed his usual women's clothes and passed on an official-style Hanfu, which looked pure and neat, which made other people who came into contact with him on weekdays have a sense of unreality.

From Wen Zhao went to the other side of the river, Xicheng, of course, in the mouths of some Upper East Side people, this behavior is called "Lower West Side".

Cong Wen Zhao's trip is actually a game, and he was forced out by Mo Longxiang, just like Bai Shi's analysis, what Mo Longxiang needs is to mess up the market in order to stabilize prices, and Cong Wen Zhao needs a normal market to make money.

Sometimes, normal is not good, messing up is not necessarily bad, the key is where the "ass" sits.

Mo Longxiang wanted to draw "anger" out of the people, and Wen Zhao came to extinguish the fire. Both of them had original plans, but neither of them expected that "Prince Gong disappeared".

Therefore, from Wen Zhao's Xiaxi City this time, it is also a "province that can be saved", and the original "show" where everyone met and visited poor locals was canceled, but in the name of the Governor's Palace, some food was sent to several local families.

While waiting for lunch in the Governor's Palace, Wen Zhao learned that Mo Longxiang had seen Zong Minsheng's information, and he was furious.

"What do you say? Mo Longxiang asked Old Man Zong, what happened to Zong Li? Cong Wen Zhao rebuked Zong Minsheng's housekeeper who came to report the news: "Do you have any brains, why did you lead Mo Longxiang into the mansion?" ”

"The old slave really can't stop it, Zong Minsheng, that old guy, I don't know what's wrong now, he was wandering around the yard early in the morning, and the porter was just about to refuse, and Zong Minsheng greeted him."

Hearing the words 'walking around the yard in the morning', Cong Wen Zhao squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. The others didn't dare to disturb, but after being stunned for a while, Cong Wen Zhao asked: "What newcomers have entered the old man Zong recently?" ”

After hearing the negative answer, Cong Wenzhao touched his nose and said with some annoyance: "I can't eat lunch because of you, get out!" Get out of here! ”

As soon as Zong Minsheng's housekeeper went out, Cong Wen Zhao asked people to invite Chen Najie, the commander of the Chu King Defense Army, to lunch.

When Chen Najie arrived, Cong Wen Zhao signaled to the people who were waiting, and a pair of chopsticks were added to the table, Chen Najie was not polite, and after sitting down, he asked Cong Wen Zhao first: "Prince Gong was abducted by you?" ”

", what am I doing stabbing that hornet's nest when I'm idle?" Cong Wen Zhao didn't care about Chen Najie's jokes at all.

"King Chu sent me a telegram yesterday, saying what do you mean by letting me be restless? How long has it been since the rest of the North Island Province has fallen, let's rest easy, is there still a soldier who can fight in this North Island? What wind did you blow to the king of Chu? Chen Najie's words were a little dissatisfied.

Congwen glanced at Chen Najie and said, "It's not for you to raise military expenses, you know that I finally came up with an idea, but it was broken by that one named Mo Longxiang." ”

"Hahahaha, you were broken by Mo Longxiang? Hahaha, you little baby, can you still be broken? Hahaha! Chen Najie said with a smile that didn't seem to care.

Hearing someone laughing at Wen Zhao, the people who were waiting immediately withdrew. But before leaving, I put a few freshly made dishes.

"You're still laughing, I'm going to be angry."

Chen Najie immediately changed his face and said, "Yes!" I don't laugh anymore, the king of Chu has asked me to monitor the headquarters of the Emperor Party on Twin Islands in the past two days, and I really found something. ”

"I don't care about you!" Cong Wen Zhao said coquettishly. Then he said: "I'm telling you, I was bullied, I could have controlled Zong Minsheng, and now this proton has also attracted Zong Minsheng's attention!" ”

Chen Najie frowned and asked, "Isn't Zong Li in your hands?" Why does the old man dare to contradict you? ”

Wen Zhao glanced at Chen Najie and said: "Where did this proton come from, Zong Li is in Christchurch, I thought with my heels, he will also save people, what do you say?" ”

"There are only a few bends to Christchurch, you don't have to worry about it! I promise to keep them coming back! After Chen Najie finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and continued: "This cook who serves you is good, and it suits my appetite." ”

Cong Wen Zhao said coquettishly: "I won't give you the beauty you want......"

I only heard Chen Najie laughing in the room.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Mo Longxiang came out of Zong Minsheng, asked Li Guangya to go back to prepare, and called a rickshaw to go to the main store in Zhaojia.

The rickshaw ran along a main street for a while, turned into an inconspicuous small street, and waited in front of the door, sent the rickshaw, looked back, he was very sensitive to notice that the location of the old residence address was very interesting, the whole street is a "U" shape, the road in and out of the road is curved, not very suitable for people to open shops to do business, are the side walls of some courtyards, but from the door of the old residence library there is no dead end that can hide people. But when I arrived at the door of the old house, it was straight, but it was very narrow, not suitable for setting up a stall for small business.

At this time, the door of Zhaojia's old residence was closed, and a statement of closure was written on the door panel with white paper and ink.

Mo Longxiang knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, he looked around at the surrounding streets, there were no people on the streets now, Mo Longxiang seemed a lot more abrupt, but there was no rickshaw to call here, so he was ready to walk out and find a way to get to the main street.

Just walked a few steps, about to the main street, a courtyard towards the crooked road water gate opened, inside stood a thin old man wearing a green shirt and a beard, did not go out, just nodded to Mo Longxiang.

Mo Longxiang smiled, turned around and went into the door.

When the water gate was closed, the old man invited Mo Longxiang to a gatehouse not far away, only to hear the old man say: "Presumably you are the Marquis of Mo Longxiang, the minister is Tian Zifu, and now he has been appointed by His Majesty as Zhaojia Fengjun." ”

"Tian Zifu? The envoy of the Weide Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty? Mo Longxiang looked at the old man in surprise.

Tian Zifu shook his head and said, "It's all old. ”

"Your official position, let me guess what is going on in the old residence, presumably the predecessor should be the Qing Affairs Yamen of the Weide Dynasty."

Tian Zifu smiled and said: "Master Hou is smart, but the minister just misses a name." ”

"How can it be a name, it is a name in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the children of the royal family, if there is an object in the hand that Tian Zifu pays tribute, it must be an excellent thing."

Tian Zifu smiled and said, "It's all old, I still remember it." ”

"No wonder the old house can be so authoritative in the empire, the feeling is that you are operating." Mo Longxiang's words didn't make Tian Zifu very happy, Tian Zifu just shook his head lightly and said, "Master Hou, you can let Your Majesty choose to come here, which explains a lot of things. You are here today, Your Majesty asked me to do you a favor, after all, it was you who brought Your Majesty out of the layers of eyeliner. ”

"It's not for you to help! To put it mildly, I'm here to get paid. Mo Longxiang didn't want to talk to Tian Zifu anymore.

Tian Zifu still smiled politely, retreated to the inside of the room, opened a camphor wood box, and took out a three-point letter. I don't know if it's because of the strong taste of camphor wood or other reasons, Tian Zifu has a particularly bad cough.

'They're all getting older, the old people of the Vader Dynasty, and now the youngest person who can use Prince Gong is over 60. Mo Longxiang thought of this, and thought of the "U" shaped street layout of the old residence, and sighed for no reason, this Prince Gong's people are not accepted.

Tian Zifu didn't expect Mo Longxiang to think about this, so he came over and put three letters on the table, each with a different letter on the letter, namely: Zong Li, relatives, and Yuanxi. Three words.

"This is a small test given to you by His Majesty, this Zong Li is all the information, you can see it yourself, find ten soldiers, and you can save it! Loved ones are the people around you, and having a message can help you get to know the people around you better. This foresight is what may happen in the future. It's up to you. ”

Mo Longxiang snorted, stretched out his hand and took away the envelope with 'Zong Li' written on it without thinking about it, looked at Tian Zifu and said, "Thank you Prince Gong for taking care of him, trouble him." ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Tian Zifu chased a few steps, and coughed a few more times before Mo Longxiang turned around and waited for a step, Tian Zifu said: "Your Majesty has a matter, if the Hou Ye can help, the entire old residence of the Twin Islands is yours." ”

"What am I going to do with my old home? Those antique calligraphy and paintings, what use do I want them? I write and paint casually now, and with this identity, it is not much more expensive than the porcelain of any dynasty! ”

Tian Zifu knew that Mo Longxiang was pretending to be confused, so he said bluntly: "I listen to your orders." ”

Mo Longxiang said bluntly: "I want you to be useless!" ”

Tian Zifu stopped talking at the moment.

Mo Longxiang smiled and said in a persecutive tone: "What I want is you!" Eyes, ears, nose, and throat of your old dwellings! It's not that you want you, you say it's useless, give me your current organization and personnel, and then tell me! ”

"Then Master Hou doesn't want to know, what can be exchanged for such a big object?" Tian Zifu asked.

Mo Longxiang said with a smile: "It's just to send Prince Gong into Huadu!" ”

After saying this, Tian Zifu smiled and nodded.
