For officials like Li Bangyan and Cai You, if there are no one or two close-knit chamberlains in the palace, and there are powerful chamberlains who can have access to all kinds of palace news, among them, the chamberlains who enter the inner chamberlain province are the best.

The Great Song Dynasty Palace is not just a simple group of eunuchs and palace maids, it will first be divided into the former province and the back province. The former province is the province of the inner servant, which is generally in charge of conveying the edict, guarding the palace gate, sprinkling and sweeping the inner court, and the treasury cashier.

The back province is the province of inner servants, responsible for taking care of the emperor and the princesses of the diet and daily life, because of the close to the emperor's favorite concubines, get more inside information, so the most sought-after.

Through their relationship in the palace, Li Bangyan and Cai You soon knew that the official family was talking to Zhou Nanchang in the Vertical Arch Palace, and they also knew that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, left the Vertical Arch Hall halfway. Although it is not yet known what the official family and Zhou Nan talked about in the palace later, the fact that King Yun left halfway alone is enough to show that the official family is not embarrassed by this Liao State horse, and it is likely that they have a good conversation, so the Liao State horse opponent King Yun will leave.

The two immediately got together again, Cai You's wife and brother's leather business was cut off, Li Bangyan relied on his father's gold and silver shop business to support his family before he became an official, and after becoming an official, he carried forward the ancestral business, not only gold and silver utensils, but also all kinds of pearls and jade jewelry, among which the Liao people had jade and jade and amber pearls. Needless to say, the Liao people have a lot of silver, and the silver is cheaper than here in the Great Song Dynasty. Although there were several silver mines in the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver could be stored every year, but almost all of them were transported to Yanjing as New Year's coins. Although Yanjing is honest now, the Jin people are afraid that they will also ask the officials for the rations during the war. The Beizhu obtained from the Liao people alone can bring millions of dollars of income to the shop every year. Both of them coveted Zhou Nan's power and influence in Yanjing, so they spared no effort to win over Zhou Nan, otherwise, it would be better to go to the palace and accompany the official's family to eat and drink and play some pets!

The two discussed once, without further ado, and there was no need to send someone, so they rushed to Dutingyi in person to find Zhou Nan.

When Zhou Nan came back from the palace, Xiao Jiu had also quietly returned to the post house. Now just after lunch, Zhou Nan was drinking tea in the hall, listening to Xiao Jiu tell that he was waiting for Zhou Nan in the Shangqing Palace to not return, and the next day Zhao Fujin's personal maid found him with Zhou Nan's letter with an arrow and asked him to take the back box to save Zhou Nan. As for the short jacket that was missing, Zhou Nan asked Xiao Jiu to find a corner where no one was there and lit a fire.

As soon as Xiao Jiu left, Zhou Nan saw the two pavilion companions coming together, and they didn't even have to pass the word to the post guard.

Zhou Nan hurriedly invited the two to sit down, and the post man in the post house came over in person and served fragrant tea to the three of them, and then he retired with Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Nan opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what the two of you are here, what's the matter?" ”

Li Bangyan didn't agree at first, and said with a strange cry: "Seeing that General Zhou is favored in front of the official family, and was dragged by the official family to talk in the vertical arch hall for a long time, now he has an official tone with me and Brother Ju'an." ”

Cai You also complained, "Brother Shimei and I are the companions of the Eight Classics, and to be honest, it is the official family, and it is also the ministry that robbed me and Brother Shimei." It's just that Brother Shimei and I didn't dare to go to the palace to rob it, so we had to come here to see General Zhou. ”

Zhou Nan heard the two of them talk about seeing Zhao Ji in the palace, and knew that the two of them had eyeliner in the palace, so he said with a smile, "It is naturally a good thing for the official family to see him." ”

Cai You lowered his voice and said, "The official edict is naturally a good thing. But you have to watch out for it. General Zhou and King Yun are also old acquaintances, but today General Zhou entered the palace, King Yun took the people of the Imperial City Division to hide outside the post house, and somehow returned to the palace later. Brother Shi Meixian and I have been worried about you for a long time. ”

Zhou Nan was shocked, he didn't expect that he was careless, thinking that in this Bianjing City, no one rushed to attack him secretly, but who knew that this King Yun came out first. If it weren't for Cai You's reminder, he wouldn't have known. It seems that in the future, it is necessary to find Ma Daqiu, who followed Han Ji's leather goods into Bianjing, and send some people to hide around the post house, and be on guard.

Thinking in his heart, Zhou Nan also looked surprised and asked, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare King Yun make waves?" ”

Li Bangyan looked at the silver, and said sincerely, "King Yun doesn't dare to come nonsense, but please ask General Zhou to be careful." ”

Zhou Nan put a smile on his face, approached Cai You and Li Bangyan happily, and said to the two of them in a low voice, "I can't hide it, today in the vertical arch hall, the official family and I can talk about it, and before the carriage is built, it has promised a reward of 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 pieces of silk, and also promised that in the future, the carriage made by my Liao country, whether it is open in the border market or not, can be directly transported to Bianjing for sale, and no customs duties will be charged." It's just that it hasn't been decided how this carriage will be sold in Bianjing City. ”

The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable. Of course, Zhou Nan knew that the two people in front of him were not upright gentlemen, but ten out of ten villains, one thought that his father was not born well, and the other thought that his father was in the way and blocked his way, of course he would not be a good person. So Zhou Nan deliberately threw out a bait to see how the two reacted. The two of them had been in a relationship with him for a few days, and it was time to see what the two of them were going to do.

Sure enough, Cai You and Li Bangyan both had bright eyes, but both of them have been in officialdom for a long time and know the truth of not showing their faces. At the moment, the two of them were happy to Zhou Nan, and they introduced to Zhou Nan where was the most lively in Bianjing City, what goods were sold on which street, where were the heads of various businesses, where the rent was the most expensive, and where there were the most merchants coming and going from the north and south. Cai You rolled up his sleeves and shouted that he wanted to buy Zhou Nan a few of his most capable buddies and Mr. Accounts, and ensured that Zhou Nan only needed to collect the money.

Zhou Nan also cooperated with the two, and the hall was very lively, seeing that drinking tea actually had the effect of drinking wine. In the end, Cai You said, "Yesterday, I and Brother Shimei Xian came to invite, and we have set up a banquet for General Zhou in the Yang Building, but General Zhou missed the appointment for no reason, which caused me and Brother Shimei to be happy. Today, General Zhou has many happy events, why not go to Yang Lou and conspire to get drunk? ”

Li Bangyan and Zhou Nan naturally agreed, so Zhou Nan called Xiao Jiu, and asked Li Feixing to bring a pro-army guard, and a group of people went towards Yang Lou.
