The street was silent, the carriage was ringing, the little eunuch and the prince on the car whispered, and dozens of guards outside the car looked around vigilantly, this car was too conspicuous, and people with a heart must guess who was inside, with Chang Yu's enemies, the relatives had to be cautious, not to mention that there was also the Prince of Daming.

Zhu Cihong was not worried at all, although Chang Yu was in danger around him, it was the safest place for him, he admired Chang Yu even to the point of blindness, thousands of troops, corpses, mountains and blood were killed a few times in and out, he didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could kill the little eunuch.

Not only is he not worried, but he is also very excited, and he does not feel sleepy at all, following the little eunuch, he can hear too many wonderful stories that he can't think of, and he can silently learn some things that no one in the palace teaches, such as the way of dealing with people and even speaking, just like the words of Chang Yu and Li Yuzhi just now, they are sharp everywhere but they are pointed, needless to say, the words are too straightforward and specious, and the other party seems to understand whether they understand or not.

It's not early, Your Highness go back to the palace, Ming'er still has morning class, and the carriage to the northeast corner of the imperial city Chang Yu reminded Zhu Cihong.

"Can't I live with you in the yamen tonight?" Zhu Cihong pleaded.

Chang Yu shook his head: "If you still want to come out in the future, you must know how to stop in moderation" Zhu Cihong nodded with a sigh, and Chang Yu asked Lao Hu to turn the head of the car and go towards Bei'anmen.

"Li Yan, will they arrive in Beijing tomorrow?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Chang Yu nodded.

"Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Huama Liu, those three wild dogs, what are you going to do, don't you take the opportunity to clean them up?" Zhu Cihong couldn't finish asking.

"If you don't say it, I'm almost forgetting these three dogs" Chang Yu smiled: "Let's see if I clean it up or not, but you can let them do some coolies first."

The carriage stopped outside the Bei'an Gate of the Imperial City, Chang Yu got out of the car and opened the door to tell Zhu Cihong a few words of goodbye, and then walked to the side of the carriage and muttered a few words to the coachman. After a while, the carriage and the attendants followed the root of the imperial city all the way to the east in the direction of the yamen.

The carriage farther away, three black shadows flashed out of the Bei'an Gate of the Imperial City, and slowly walked along the root of the wall to the west, at this time the street was silent and unmanned, and there were guards patrolling outside the Imperial City, and wild dogs could not see one.

The three black shadows walked silently and quickly all the way, and soon arrived at Dingfu Street in the northeast corner of the imperial city, which was where the Dingguo Mansion was located.

Dingfu Street is named after Dingguo Mansion, it is a prosperous block, there is everything to eat, drink and play, it is second to none in the northeast corner of the capital, although it is late at night, there is still no lack of lights, wine, green warblers, singing and dancing.

Yingge Building is the most famous green building in Beicheng, I heard that the young ladies inside are not only handsome but also versatile, proficient in blowing, playing and singing, all of them are Ming Good Voice Talent Show contestants.

A few turtles in front of the building are bowing their heads to send a few drunken guests in an attempt to get a reward for you, and suddenly I saw three people on the street running straight to the door, and wondered in my heart, there are guests coming to the door so late, I am really interested, and I want to greet him, and suddenly a person rushed out of his side to greet him.

The man came to the three of them, bowed down and kowtowed: "Master Changgong, Lord Wu is waiting for you above."

That's right, these three people are Chang Yu and his personal servant Chen Wangting Jiang Fa, and the person who greeted them was Di Weicheng, the henchman of Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Chang Yu snorted, followed Di Weicheng towards the building, and several turtle lords hurriedly surrounded him: "A few masters......

"Get out" Di Weicheng roared, the turtle princes Wei Nuo retreated, Chang Yu glanced at them, and popped out a few pieces of broken silver with his fingers, and those turtle fathers were stunned for a moment and then quickly thanked them loudly.

"Lord Factory, are you looking at these big teapots?" Di Weicheng caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"But no, this poor man who is inferior to the ninth rate and these eunuchs in our family" Chang Yu heheed, he really looked at these turtle princes pitifully.

When Di Weicheng heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly turned around and confessed: "The factory governor can't say that, this big teapot is really the ninth rate, you are the head of the internal officials, how can you be with these people side by side with the courtiers."

Moreover, Chang Yu pouted, these people are very flattering on the surface, but in fact, they have said all kinds of unpleasant things behind their backs, and the eunuchs are not even as good as these ninth-rate eunuchs in their mouths, because they are not in the stream.

Of course, with Chang Yu's mentality, he never felt that the status of a eunuch was embarrassing, and he didn't care about these common opinions at all, and waved his hand at Di Weicheng: "What are you nervous about casually chatting about for a day."

Di Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the way, Chang Yu suddenly asked: "You said that this turtle prince is the lower ninth rate, do you know which ones are the lower nine ranks?" ”

This Di Weicheng really didn't know, Chang Yu looked sideways at Chen Wangting again, he didn't know, if it was really only Jiang Fa, who had the most experience in the rivers and lakes, opened his mouth and came: "The first-class drama is second-rate pushing, the third-rate king is eight or four first-rate turtles, five shaved heads, six rubbed their backs, seven prostitutes, eight thieves and nine blowing ashes, this turtle is the fourth in the lower nine streams, and Ah the turtle is the name of the south, and the north is called the big teapot!" And this turtle is not pitiful at all, they are all thugs raised by brothel bustards, all of them are black-hearted, don't be deceived by their slaves."

Di Weicheng also hurriedly agreed: "No, the hearts of these big teapots are black, they are all pretending to be pitiful!" ”

"Master Jiang is really well-informed" Chang Yu sincerely admired: "There is both the lower ninth rate, and there should also be the upper ninth rate."

Jiang Fa smiled: "There are not only upper ninth-rate, but also middle ninth-rate."

Oh, several people were interested, and Chang Yu said, "Master Jiang will talk about it."

"In this ninth-rate, first-class Buddha is a second-rate immortal, a third-rate emperor, a fourth-rate official, a fifth-rate official, a sixth-rate guest, a seven-burner, and a nine-rate villager, and you are also an official, and you are also an official in the ninth rate, second only to the emperor." Jiang Fa played it off.

Chang Yu laughed: "What about the middle and ninth streams?" ”

"First-class second-rate doctors, third-rate Fengjian, fourth-rate batches, fifth-rate Danqing, sixth-rate workers, seven monks, eight ways and nine qin chess." Jiang Fa continued, and Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Fengjian and criticism? ”

"Oh, "Fengjian" is the yin and yang gentleman who looks at feng shui, and "batch" is a fortune teller who criticizes eight characters" Jiang Fa hurriedly said, and everyone couldn't help but applaud for his wide knowledge.

While speaking, the four of them had already gone up to the third floor, knocked on the door of Di Weicheng in front of the Tianzi room, and then bowed his hand to Chang Yu and turned to leave.

The door creaked open, Wu Mengming's smiling face appeared in front of him, Chang Yu couldn't help but cover his nose and frown, the taste was so weird, so familiar, and so rushing.

"Lord Wu, it's not long since the fight ended, look at the smell of gunsmoke and rush to the nose" Chang Yu approached the room and glanced inside, the bed was very messy.

Wu Mengming was a little embarrassed and smiled: "I slept after waiting for a long time and was tired, so that the factory supervisor smiled."

Chang Yu rolled his eyes and looked at the wine and food on the table: "What about eating and drinking at this public expense?" ”

"No, no, no, the lowly private pays for it, and the factory supervisor can eat it, or ......" Wu Mengming hurriedly said, Chang Yu waved his hand: "Just make a pot of tea" said and walked to the window, opened the window for ventilation, and the strange smell in the room faded a lot, looking at the dark street outside: "Ming'er Chao is making a fuss."

Wu Mengming helped Chang Yu make tea and said when he heard this: "How to make trouble is also the matter of the emperor and those courtiers, we don't need to be quiet in the court," and then said: "Factory father, let's meet now, are we so sneaky?" ”

Chang Yu turned around and walked to the table and sat down, took a sip of the teacup, and frowned: "You will drink this tea for this high-roller."

Wu Mengming suddenly became popular, he didn't understand tea but knew that the little eunuch was a master of tea, as soon as he heard this, he went to the Qinglou to be his wronged boss, shouting that he was going to trouble the old bustard but was stopped by Chang Yu and said the right thing: "Don't forget, now the two of us outside are incompatible, the more stiff the trouble, the better, at least our brothers are good."

"Yes, yes, yes" Wu Mengming pounded his head like garlic: "Water and fire are incompatible, water and fire are incompatible" said and took out a bunch of keys from his arms and handed them to Chang Yu: "Xianyifang Chema Hutong enters the third door, a big elm tree, and three into the big yard."

Chang Yu took the corner of his mouth and showed a smile: "Next to the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division in Fucheng Gate?" Wu Mengming nodded.

"Lord Wu, are you bribing our family?" Chang Yu threw the set of keys on the table: "Why do we want such a big house when our family is alone."

Wu Mengming smiled: "The house doesn't have to be inhabited, you can also put things."

Chang Yu smiled: "What do we have to put in such a big house?" “

"Some of the factory governor's belongings are always placed in the yamen, and it is really inconvenient for people to have many eyes, so it is better to find a private house to store more secrets...... The old thing checked nearly 200,000 taels of silver, and now it is all in that house...... "Wu Mengming didn't hide it either.

Chang Yu was silent.

As the governor of Dongchang, he was ordered to investigate corruption and fight corruption, but even Chang Yu himself couldn't tell if he was clean.

In fact, most of these family assets were obtained by Wu Mengming from two princes who had already burped when he was in Taiyuan, and they also copied the oil and water of Shanxi profiteers and various cheats.

But eighty percent of the money was handed over, and the rest was distributed to the brothers who participated, and the part kept by himself was not used for personal purposes.

On the contrary, the silver was mostly used on the soldiers of the four battalions under his command to create heavy armor, equipment, weapons, uniforms and rewards, and the rest was invested in the Octopus Chamber of Commerce and the Dart Bureau.

"Even if the belongings are placed in the yamen, even if they are checked, they can be said to be public funds, and if they are stored in a private house, it is difficult to speak, Lord Wu, this matter is risky."

"If there is a risk, it will not fall on you and me, there are people who hold it, although the key factory governor keeps it, the silver can be withdrawn at any time if he needs it......" Wu Mengming was saying, Chang Yu suddenly interrupted him: "Can it be taken at any time?" We suddenly thought of a safer place."

"Where?" Wu Mengming hurriedly asked.

"Bank" Chang Yu slapped the table, Wu Mengming looked confused: "What? ”

"Oh, it's the bank!"

Hold the grass! Wu Mengming slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of this!" A book of thousands of profits and financial resources can still be used as a cover, factory father, we have to nag this ...... well."
