Hedong Road, Puzhou, Thorn Shifu.

Prime Minister Di Renjie, led dozens of guards with him, rode a horse, dressed in a purple robe, holding the official seal and name thorn, went straight into the official house, sat down under the high hanging plaque in the main hall, and ordered the servants of the government office who were at a loss to follow, and quickly passed Zhao Fen, the assassin of Puzhou, to see him.

In front of the Assassin's Mansion and in the back of the Mansion, Zhao Fen's home was just behind several portals, and it came quickly.

Because he had not received the news in advance, he was shocked and shocked when he heard the news, and in a hurry, he did not even change his official robe, and rushed out in Yanju's regular clothes.

"Xiaguan Puzhou assassin Zhao Fen, meet Di Xiangye" Zhao Fen calmed his breath and saluted respectfully.

Di Renjie looked at him for a round and took his mood in his eyes.

Zhao Fen is very tall, but he is thin, the civilian clothes on his body can't hold up, he looks empty, his long cheeks are clear, he often has a shriveled smile, he has a mustache on his lips, he is a little messy, his small mung bean eyes are sweeping around, there is no focus, the whole person looks erratic, not a reliable and responsible appearance.

Between the lightning and flint, Di Renjie didn't even have the idea of testing Zhao Fen's depths, and made a decision directly, the case of the Puzhou Commerce Mansion, using the power of the government to investigate it is no longer advisable, it can only be combined with light and dark, assisted by open inspection, and mainly by secret visits.

Di Renjie didn't like it in his heart, but he smiled on his face, "Hehehe, Zhao Tingshi is exempt, this minister came here by order, he came here to supervise the Yellow River River work by His Majesty's command, and the Shaofu Supervisor has invested a huge amount of gold and silver money in the inner treasury for many years, and he always wants to see how the results are, and he also looks at the people's livelihood in various places by the way"

Zhao Fen was busy laughing, pulled his clothes, and said ashamedly, "Xiangye has worked hard all the way, Puzhou is remote, and there are very few central ministers who come, Xiangye is in person, and the lower officials are not neatly dressed, and it is rude, and it is not strange to look at Xiangye."

"It's okay, it's okay" Di Renjie straightened his chest, stood up and left the main hall, "The appearance is not fast, and he has become a villain, how can he be harsh on the assassin?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare" Di Renjie's spring breeze turned rainy, Zhao Fen's nervousness slowly receded, after a little thought, he said respectfully, "Xiangye is far away, the lower officials should be the best of the friendship of the landlord, the Puzhou Post House is remote, if the Xiangye does not give up, it is better to stay in the courtyard of the Thorn History Mansion, and later, the lower officials will convene the state and county officials and local gentry to wash the dust for the Xiangye."

"Well, the guest is as you please, I'm bothered" Di Renjie didn't shirk, and casually mentioned two sentences, "The matter of the river work, Zhao Tingshi and some arrangements, the summer flood season is coming, and be careful, don't be sloppy"

"Yes, yes, Xiangye rest assured, the lower officials will arrange it, tomorrow morning, report the itinerary to the Xiangye, the river workers and people's livelihood plans, Your Majesty will pay for it, if the lower officials are lazy, isn't it better to be a beast?" Zhao Fen didn't say yes, patted her dry and thin chest, and her face was full of righteousness and sternness.

Di Renjie nodded with a smile, "So good"

"Xiaguan leads the way for Xiangye" Zhao Fen personally saddled the front horse, escorted Di Renjie to the Assassin's Mansion not far away, and was doubly attentive to introduce the customs and customs of Puzhou to Di Renjie, "Xiangye is concerned about the river workers, after two days, you can go to Pujin Bridge to see the stork tower, specially designed for the town river, you can overlook the big river, look back at the Emei Mountains, quite a scene"

Di Renjie smiled and ignored him, Stork Tower, he had already been there.

Zhao Fen settled Di Renjie well, and hurriedly sent a group of soldiers to guard in the other courtyard, and transferred some maids with good colors to come over and personally distributed, "Wait for the good students to serve, be sure to respond to requests, don't slack off...... Quickly sent an invitation out, tonight's night banquet, be sure to be grand, as soon as necessary, from the house account to go, Hugh to delay......"

Back at the Assassin's Mansion, he summoned his confidants, and the two of them muttered and speculated for a long time, unable to determine Di Renjie's intention, whether he was really just a river worker, or he came from the huge copper coins of the Commerce Mansion.

Thinking of the copper money mountain pulled by a carriage, Zhao Fen's heart softened for a while, and she made up her mind.

"In this way, I will repair a book ......"

"No, you personally go to the Liu family's mansion and inform Liu Cha of the situation, he has a way in the Shendu Xiangwang Mansion, and he is well-informed, if there is any obstacle, take precautions early"

At this juncture, Zhao Fen was still careful to avoid leaving handles, letters, and the like, which were taboos.

"Yes, master," the staff member didn't say a word, "Qi Langzhong, what should I do?" ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Fen's eyes, "This kind of jackal, don't pay attention to him"

The staff left in a hurry, Zhao Fen leaned back in the chair, her expression changed, and she said to herself, "Start with you, end up with you, this is the best game."

That night, the courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion was full of friends, singing and dancing, and delicacies and wines were used to catch the wind for Di Renjie.

During the banquet, Di Renjie was quite friendly, and he did not take the prime minister's stand, and he talked very happily with the guests.

He has a lot of wine, and he likes the reputation of Jiannan Burning Spring, everyone in the officialdom knows it, Zhao Fen will not make mistakes, what is served during the banquet is Jiannan Burning Spring, this thing is indeed good, drinking in the throat, the aroma is spicy and spicy, and the whole body is happy, but this price is too painful.

"You are Qi Langzhong?" Di Renjie saw Qi Chong in Langzhong, Puzhou, the Commerce Mansion, and touched a glass with him with a smile, "Golden helmet, golden armor, golden robe, yellow face, yellow horse, Hu Guogong's demeanor, I can see you again today, which is enough to comfort my life."

"Xiaguan was born with a yellow face, and he didn't dare to compare with Hu Guogong with guilt, he has heard for a long time that Xiangye is discerning, strictly enforces the law, and Xiaguan respects Xiangye" Qi Chong's yellow face flushed, and he didn't know if he drank too much or knew that he was ashamed.

Di Renjie raised his head and drank it all, watching Qi Chong leave, he didn't expect this yellow face to be a loyal and courageous Qin Shubao, he only hoped that he was not Hou Junji with wolf ambitions.

"Xiangye, this is a local family, the old man of the Liu clan in Hedong, Mr. Liu Conghou" Zhao Fen personally led Liu Conghou to meet Di Renjie, and under careful observation, he saw Di Renjie's expression, there was no abnormality at all, and he was also interested in discussing the paper with Liu Conghou, and praised the heirloom of Hedong Liu's poetry and books.

Zhao Fen lowered her head, her brows furrowing even tighter.

How did he know that Di Renjie was not working private matters, and what he came to investigate was the serious case of corruption in the Puzhou Commerce Mansion, and it was not clear for the time being that the Liu family in Hedong was also involved, and there would be no traces of it.

At the end of the banquet, Di Renjie thought while soaking his feet, and ordered, "Di Chun, you try to leave the courtyard, explore the trade mansion, make some movements, and startle the snake."

"Yes, master"

A black shadow tumbled over the high wall, landed lightly, looked around, saw that there was no movement, turned sideways, leaned against the corner, and ran away quickly.

Not long after he ran out, two more shadows appeared around the corner, bowing his body far behind.
