Qi Qi told Wei Chang what happened last night, and Wei Chang fell silent.

He wanted to say that his first feeling was that Tang Xian was going to kill his little nephew, but he didn't say it, because the result of this incident proved that Tang Xian was a good uncle - if he really wanted to kill the child, why did he save the child, it didn't make sense.

Qi Qi seemed to see Wei Chang's entanglement, and there was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.

Then Wei Chang stood up a little embarrassed, "We haven't been to Fengyi Fang for a long time, we should go and see it today." ”

"Are you still thinking about that?" Qi Qi seems to have given up: "I feel that in this competition, the two of us must be the first from the bottom." The last time I went back, everyone had a lot of experience. Su Hongying prepared a thick book of materials, all of which were handwritten by her, while I only had three pages. ”

Wei Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Those are useless, the instructor doesn't look at that at all." ”

"How do you know?"

"Although our instructor doesn't look very good, but he has been a bad handsome for five years, can he not know what a bad guy should do?" Wei Chang said confidently, after speaking, he pushed open the door and left.

Qi Qi hurriedly followed: "You mean, Su Hongying's work is invalid?" I don't think so. ”

"That's what the Ministry of Household should do, we are the Ministry of War." Wei Chang smiled and said, "Do you know why the emperor arranged us in the military department instead of the criminal department?" ”

"It's easier for us to do things."

"Yes, the people of the military department, the local officials, including the county, will take a special look. There are a lot of things that you don't have to be responsible for them. Wei Chang said: "But this is not the most important reason why the emperor arranged us in the military department. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"Because the emperor wants to control all the underground forces in Chang'an City. In the 108 markets in Chang'an City, there are at least 108 snake heads hidden, and now it seems that they are like a plate of loose sand, so do you know why no one gathered them together? ”

"The emperor won't let it!" Qi Qi said with a smile.

Wei Chang nodded and said, "You are right this time. ”

After speaking, Wei Chang stopped talking, but walked in stride.

Qi Qi hurriedly followed, and said with a smile, "I really want to understand what you mean." The emperor knew that these snakeheads could not be killed, so he simply did not kill them, but controlled them. As long as they can't get together, distrust each other, or even vendettas, then there is no threat to imperial power. That's a check and balance, right? ”

"Yes. But how can he check and balance? Don't you need us bad people yet? Wei Chang smiled and said: "But the emperor Lao'er has many methods, even if the bad people fail to control him, he still has 30,000 forbidden troops, but that will discredit his history, and people will say that he is a tyrant or a faint monarch in the future." But while he was alive, no one could shake him. ”

It is no wonder that now that the country is prosperous, Li Heng is not more concerned about safety, but about reputation. Including his revision of the constitution and the rectification of the rule of officials, they are very different from the previous emperors. It is precisely because of this that he needs us more unscrupulous people who do not follow the usual path. Qi Qi said with a smile.

"Nope." Wei Chang pointed and said, "It's me, not you." You are a very, very ordinary person. Just like Su Hongying, she can't see through anything. I know how to work blindly. ”

Wei Chang is so annoying that one sentence choked Qi Qi so much that he couldn't say anything. The eldest girl was angry in her heart, but there was no place to vent. You can only walk behind with your feet stamped.

The two came to Fengyi Fang, and as soon as they walked to the door of the fang, they heard a wail, this kind of sound can be heard every day in Fengyi Fang, after all, many people die every day in Chang'an City, and most of the people who enter and exit from the gate of this fang are people who have died of relatives. Most of them look gloomy.

Wei Chang was indifferent to everything in front of him, he walked directly to Xisan Alley, and soon found Yusan.

As a result, I saw Yu Sanzheng standing there with a blue nose and swollen face, and it seemed that his mood was not quite right, and when he saw Wei Chang coming, he hurriedly trotted over and forced a smile.

"Who hit you?" Wei Chang pinched his waist with a shy stomach, and pinned his thumbs in his belt.

"This ......" Yu San said with some embarrassment: "Don't ask about it, it's all a trivial matter in the gang." ”

"It's okay, tell us Captain Qi." Wei Chang got out of the way and let Yu San see Qi Qi.

Of course, Qi Qi is not a captain, and everyone knows in their hearts that he is joking. For this reason, Qi Qi smiled, but it seemed that her smile was a little stiff, and even a little embarrassed, even in the face of a small role like Yu San, the kind she had never seen right before.

"Don't mention it." Yu San suddenly cried and said, "This month, Boss Hong celebrated the birthday of his concubine and asked us to pay him one hundred silver coins each. ”

"You didn't get a job?" Wei Chang was curious, with Yu San's technique, how could he not even get a hundred silver coins?

"I had enough money for a long time, and I kept it in my house, but his grandmother didn't know what was going on, and it was gone after a sleep. As a result, I went crazy to steal that day, but it was still not enough, so I went to Boss Hong to intercede and ask for a few days, and I was beaten like this. Yu San rubbed his nose and said.

Wei Chang looked at Yu San and said, "Next time, when the money is enough, hand it over directly." What are you staying with for now? You live in a den of thieves at all, why are you so careless? ”

Yu San smiled bitterly and said, "Master Wei, what you said is right and not right. If it's in our gang, you don't dare to do it. ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Chang frowned and said, "Is there another gang to make trouble?" ”

Yu San nodded and said, "It may be that something big is going to happen in the West Market, so the West Market has been very happy recently." Their people are wandering around, and we haven't let go of Fengyi Fang. It can be seen that Wu Yaoyang of Xishi wanted to win over Boss Hong, but for some reason, Boss Hong vetoed it. ”

"It's normal to veto." Qi Qi is categorical.

Yu Sanyi smiled and said, "Could it be that Qi Guan knows what the inside story is?" ”

Qi Qi just smiled and said: "There are some things I can't tell you yet, just to let you know that not every snake head in Fang City can be co-opted by outsiders." ”

Yu San nodded hurriedly. At the same time, she looked at Qi Qi differently, it seems that this big girl is not exactly a layman.

But he didn't know that Qi Qi had just learned this little bit of the way from Wei Chang, and now she was learning and selling, and she looked a little proud.

Wei Chang didn't sarcastically mock Qi Qi in front of outsiders, but said: "How Boss Hong beat you today, you remember, I don't think it will take half a year, I will give you a chance to pour all the fists and humiliation you ate today back on Boss Hong." ”

"Master Wei, let's wait for that day."

"Okay, tell me if there's any situation in Fengyi Fang lately." Wei Chang said.

"After you told me last time, I paid attention to you. There are three things, although they are not major events, but I feel that I should report back to you. The fish looked at it three or four times and said.

Wei Chang waved his hand, and the three of them went to the roadside stall to sit down and ask for a few cups of tea. Wei Chang looked out, nodded and said, "This place is quite secluded, I just don't know if this old man at the door is unreliable." ”

Yu San said: "Don't worry, that's Uncle I." ”

"Oh, that's good." Wei Chang said: "Tell me, what is the situation. ”

Yu San didn't speak, but first took out a crossbow, this crossbow is broken, it can't be used anymore, there are obvious traces of old on it, "Master Wei, look." ”

Wei Chang snatched the crossbow and looked at it, and said, "Datong Mansion's system ten years ago, this is a crossbow for training, and it has long been abolished, how can it fall into your hands?" ”

"Master Wei, good eyesight." Yu San said: "This is my younger brother, I got it from a restaurant." A regular customer of the restaurant used to come to her often, but later, the man suddenly stopped coming, and as a result, a box fell into her hands. Before, she didn't dare to open it, but three years had passed, and she thought that the man would definitely not come back, so she opened it and looked at it. ”

"What else is there but this waste crossbow?" Qi Qi asked professionally.

"And a suit of armor."

"Armor?" Qi Qi exclaimed: "Concealing armor will be sentenced to at least ten years." ”

So she reported the case at that time, and it was signed by the local Fang Bureau. Because the armor was too broken, the Fang Department didn't take it too seriously, so it was casually reported to the county. The county sent someone to take a look at it, and then destroyed it on the spot. The remaining pieces of iron were taken back by the people of the county government to confiscate them. After Yu San finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders.

"No wonder this crossbow is so ......" Wei Fan looked at it carefully, "they must have thought that this crossbow could no longer be used, so they didn't bother to disassemble it, and just took the iron bow blade from it." However, such a crossbow machine, just install a hard bamboo piece, in fact, it can still be used, but the range is shorter. ”

"That's exactly why Yusan took it out to show you." Yu San smiled and said.

"Okay, you keep this thing, maybe I'll need it someday." Admonished Yu Sandao: "Be sure to hide it." ”

"Don't worry."

"What about the other two things?" Qi Qi asked with concern.

"The other two are trifles." Yu San said: "One is that Lord Xu of this workshop marries a little daughter-in-law, and the other is that the daughter-in-law of the Wu family has a divorce, these two things are not big, but later there was a joke." It turned out that Xu Fangcheng originally planned to marry the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, but he married early. ”

"What kind of mess?" Qi Qi didn't understand: "Could it be that Xu Fangcheng married the wrong person?" ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect it, people's hearts are sinister. It was the person who pulled the string who was playing tricks, saying that the one in the sedan chair was Da Lang's daughter-in-law, but Xu Fangcheng worshiped in a daze. That night he was so drunk that he lifted his hijab, and when he saw that it was a beautiful woman, he smiled without any ambiguity. I get up in the morning and get confused, why isn't it the daughter-in-law of the eldest man? Speaking of this, Yu San smiled bitterly: "Wu's daughter-in-law is really unlucky, when she got divorced, she went to find Xu Fangcheng, but found that Xu Fangcheng got married three days ago. ”
