Ye Qing didn't think it was strange that the prefect of Yangzhou was able to know his whereabouts after he arrived in Yangzhou as soon as he arrived.

In his opinion, if he can really get to Sizhou all the way without being known by others, and no one cares about him when he stays in Yangzhou, I am afraid that he should be worried.

After all, above the court, he, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division who suddenly appeared, did not make an inch, so in Lin'an City, he would not attract the attention of the court officials.

But that doesn't mean they won't pay attention to themselves, and every move in Lin'an City.

Of course, paying attention to his every move is not because he is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, but because the person who promotes himself behind his back will make the officials above the court hope to judge and guess Zhao Gou's intentions through his every move.

When he was inexplicably promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division at the beginning, even the left minister Wang Huai and the right minister Tang Siwei were kept in the dark, but after the analysis and combing of these essences, plus the summons of Zhao Gou, etc., so above the court, knowing that the person who promoted him was Zhao Gou, I am afraid that he was already a carp crossing the river.

Naturally, after he silently left Lin'ancheng, the officials above the court, or the prefects, transit envoys and other officials of various prefectures, began to figure out where their destination was.

And his destination is obviously the place where the eyes and attention of Emperor Zhao Gou, who has been in the Zen position for a long time, in the palace of Lin'an City.

Zhao Shixiong, a rather domineering name, even made Ye Qing wonder if he was a member of the royal Zhao family after the first meeting.

But fortunately, he thought too much about himself, Zhao Shixiong, as the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion, left a word with the governor of Yangzhou, and the three of them were in charge of the entire Huainan East Road.

Zhao Shixiong knew the Yangzhou Mansion and the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, left the right to know Yangzhou and Huainan East Road Transit Envoy, and Li Xizhi served as the envoy for punishment.

Now Ye Qing didn't see Yangzhou Zhizhou speechless, nor did he see Li Xizhi, there was no one else in the whole room except for himself and Zhao Shixiong.

"I shouldn't have bothered Commander Ye just after he arrived in Yangzhou, but if Zhao knew that Commander Ye had arrived in Yangzhou and pretended not to know, wouldn't it be rude and snub the distinguished guests. Therefore, Zhao simply took the wind and washed the dust for Commander Ye, and hoped that Commander Ye would forgive him and make the number of gifts simpler. "Zhao Shixiong's name is domineering, but he is not very domineering, if no one introduces him, I am afraid that if he walks on the street, no one will associate this rustic little old man with the prefect of Yangzhou.

"Where, Lord Zhao is already flattered by Lord Zhao like this, how dare he complain about Lord Zhao." Ye Qing and Zhao Shixiong sat opposite each other, a table of delicacies and delicacies, but it was obviously not something that two people should pay attention to.

"I don't know if Commander Ye went north this time, but there are other things besides Sizhou? Do you need Zhao's help and help? Emperor Taishang entrusted Ye with the important task, and Ye Commander was so young, he shouldn't have asked more, but this Huainan East Road has always been the first line of my Great Song Dynasty's anti-Jin Dynasty, not to mention the fierce folk customs, that is, under the eyes of the Jin people, all states and counties are extremely xenophobic, and what Zhao is afraid of is that if Ye Commander does not understand the customs, it will ...... in case of errands. Zhao Shixiong didn't beat around the bush at all, and asked bluntly.

"Ye Qing thanked Lord Zhao for his kindness first, but ...... On this trip to the north, it is really not an errand, presumably adults also know that Ye Qing went north this time to go north with the Lin'an merchant Jia Yan's family, and it was just a private matter. Ye Qing said with a tacit expression.

And Zhao Shixiong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized a few times again and again: "Young talents, beautiful women? Then Zhao first congratulated the beauty that Ye led to return! Please. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shixiong took the lead in picking up the wine glass, the expression on his face was still enthusiastic, and he didn't feel unhappy at all because of Ye Qing's personal matter prevaricating him.

Naturally, he wouldn't believe that Ye Qing went north this time just for this private matter!

He didn't believe that Emperor Zhao Gou didn't know about this, and he didn't believe that Zhao Gou would really let anyone go, and the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division who he had just promoted and entrusted with important responsibilities was just accompanying the beauty to the north.

But then Zhao Shixiong didn't ask directly, but changed it to a roundabout strategy, between the two toasting each other, Zhao Shixiong has been knocking on the side, and Ye Qing is immobile and smiling and using the Yan family as a shield.

But even so, he felt more and more that Zhao Gou, the old guy, was unfathomable, and this so-called "cowardly" person who was afraid of death who could survive in the cracks when the Great Song Dynasty was in danger was really just letting himself kill a few people?

As a superior, his purpose is obviously not so single, just to let himself kill a few people, right?

This made Ye Qing have to guess when he was greeting Zhao Shixiong, what was Wang Lun's purpose in finding an address in Yangzhou after he finished his work in Sizhou?

But let him break his head, he didn't know what Wang Lun had told him about and what he promised to take a thousand taels of silver.

In less than an hour, the single banquet ended with Zhao Shixiong and Ye Qing sloppy at each other, so when Zhao Shixiong knew that Ye Qing was going to Sizhou early tomorrow morning, his expression immediately seemed a lot more relaxed.

However, when he heard that Ye Qing had to take the waterway from Yangzhou again after finishing his errands in Sizhou, his brows furrowed again when Ye Qing left.

Looking at Ye Qing and leaving in his sedan chair, Zhao Shixiong, who was standing at the door, had an earthy temperament on his body that was getting weaker and weaker, but his expression was becoming more and more dignified, and the official next to him who invited Ye Qing from the inn also showed a thoughtful expression when he stood aside.

"Lord Zhao, is this kid very strict-mouthed?" Yangzhou Mansion Judge Peng Qi asked in a low voice.

"It's an extremely shrewd little fox, no wonder he was valued by the Emperor Taishang, and he was promoted from a small forbidden army to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division overnight. But today's Imperial City Division is no longer the Imperial City Division when Qin Hui was the prime minister, what did the Emperor Taishang mean by sending him north this time? Zhao Shixiong seemed to be talking to the general judge Peng Qi, and shook his head slightly as if he was talking to himself.

"Then do you want us to send someone secretly...... Follow along the way? In this way, even if something happens, it is better to have a precaution. Peng Qi pondered for a moment and said cautiously.

Zhao Shixiong didn't agree or disagree, but suddenly asked, "What is the movement there?" Or have you been pretending to be deaf and dumb? ”

"There hasn't been any movement for the time being, but there is no movement at all, and it's not normal, isn't he worried that the Emperor Taishang sent the Imperial City Division to the north, is it intentional?" Peng Qi was stunned, not knowing whether Zhao Shixiong agreed or disagreed with sending someone to keep an eye on him.

In the officialdom of Huainan East Road, no one is clean, and no one is greedy for the silver of the imperial court, especially Zhao Shixiong, who is a pacification envoy, is in charge of the soldiers and horses on Huainan Road, and Liuwuyan is in charge of the taxes on Huainan Road, and also has the same duties as the criminal envoy.

Therefore, in the officialdom of Huainan East Road, on the front line of the Great Song Dynasty's anti-Jin, basically no official is innocent.

Now, although it has been almost ten years since the last Jin invasion, the taxes on Huainan East Road have been high, and in the absence of war between the two countries, various expenses have been on the rise, could it be another purpose of Zhao Gou?

Zhao Shixiong shook his head, he didn't know if Peng Qi's analysis was right, he didn't know what Zhao Gou was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know what the purpose of this deputy commander of the Imperial City Division was going north this time.

Although Ye Qing didn't know much about Yangzhou, he didn't do anything except idle in the days when he was in the Imperial City Division, not to mention that there was an extremely eight-woman old Liu Tou beside him, and after the old Liu Tou left, his daughter Liu Lan'er immediately took over his position as an eighth wife.

So for Ye Qing, whether the officialdom on Huainan East Road is complicated or not, he still has some spectrum in his heart, but this matter is not his own business, so he will not bother with this idleness.

But as Zhao Shixiong just arrived in Yangzhou, he couldn't wait to invite himself alone, and the more he thought about Zhao Gou, the old fox, the more frightened he felt, and the more he felt that the purpose of Zhao Gou's trip was not to block the caravan of the Jin people, and it was so easy to kill a few people.

With the address given to him by Wang Lun in his arms, Ye Qing really wanted to go to this address now to take a look, in the end, was Wang Lun arranging someone or something for himself? Or is it a human thing?

Holding back the curiosity in his heart, he sat in the small garden of the inn, thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't understand whether Zhao Gou killed two birds with one stone for himself, or said that one person was multi-purpose!

After Po Li San inspected the courtyard of the inn where they were staying, he saw Ye Qing's back in the garden pavilion of the garden-like inn.

Just after walking over, before he could speak, he saw Ye Qing signaling him with his hand to silence.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was sitting there without speaking, he waited for a long time for Li San, and when he was about to hold it back, he heard Ye Qing let out a long sigh, looked at him and asked, "You said that if the Imperial City Division is a thousand or five hundred people secretly going north, what will be the reaction of the Emperor?" ”

"This ...... How do I know that? You'll have to ask him. Po Li San looked up at the top of the pavilion, didn't see the night sky, and lowered his head and said.

"It's okay for me to move less than 200 people in the Imperial City Division, and if I go up to 200 people, I don't need to be impeached by officials and imperial historians, Long Dayuan and Lin Guangchao can directly click me ......."

"What? Aren't we enough for a hundred? Po Li San looked at Ye Qing's sad face and asked curiously.

"It's enough to go north, but it's obviously not enough to go back to Yangzhou." Ye Qing's eyes were empty, and he muttered words that Li San couldn't understand. ()
