Yuan Mingyuan touched his chin and looked at this farce, he thought it was very interesting. It seems that this Chengdu is not a monolith, at least this Yan Pingzhang seems to be angry, and he stiffened on the spot. Yuan Mingyuan didn't think Yan Zhenqing was rude, because he knew that Yan Zhenqing was not rushing at him, but Wang Yuan.

"Supervisor Yuan, I'm really sorry. Yan Pingzhang...... Hehe, the scholar is habitual, and he has a big temper and is stubborn, which is really rude. Wei Jiansu smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all our family, what is the emperor's matter. I didn't expect this to happen. It is said that Yan Pingzhang's temper should not have been released, Wang Xiangguo kept it secret for the safety of the emperor, which is also understandable. This Yan Pingzhang is indeed a little bookish. Yuan Mingyuan laughed.

Wei Jiansu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, I'll explain to him later, and ask him to dissipate his anger." Come on, come on, Yuan Neijian, let's drink, eat vegetables and eat vegetables. ”

Yuan Mingyuan got up with a smile and said, "That's it, our family is also full of food and drink, the road is difficult when I come, my body is tired, I want to go to the pavilion to rest and rest." Tomorrow, I will ask Wei Zuoxiang to take me to visit Chengdu, and I will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, I have to harass Wei Zuoxiang. ”

Wei saw Su Leng and said, "Don't you eat this?" ”

"Don't eat, don't eat, our family is not strong enough to drink, and I've drunk a lot today, so I'll leave." No need to send, no need to send. Yuan Mingyuan shook his hand and walked out. Several attendants hurriedly helped him and went downstairs with a bang.

Wei Jiansu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got out of the restaurant, and ordered the entourage beside him: "Prepare the car quickly, this official must hurry up to see Wang Xiangguo." ”

……

In the east of the city, Yuan Mingyuan and his entourage arrived here to stay. Yuan Mingyuan's face was as usual, how could he have half of what he said in his mouth was not strong enough to drink, in fact, Yuan Mingyuan drank very well, and ordinary bowls of sake were just gargling.

"Master Yuan, take a sip of tea and stare at it for a while? The little one will beat your legs, this way can be tired enough, Yuan Ye took a good breath. The little waiter who was waiting with him served Yuan Mingyuan tea, and nodded beside him.

Yuan Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "If you don't sleep, you won't sleep, you still have something to do." Go and call Zhang Debiao in, I have something to discuss with him. ”

Xiao Nei hurriedly agreed, and went out to call someone in the courtyard of the pavilion, and a burly man walked in a moment later. Yuan Mingyuan took a few attendants and more than a dozen forbidden guards with him on this trip, and this Zhang Debiao was the leader of the escort protection.

"Master Yuan, what's the matter? The brothers have all been settled, and the idle people inside and outside the courtyard have been invited out, and this inn should be safe. Zhang Debiao arched his hand.

Yuan Mingyuan nodded and smiled: "Very good." In fact, in this Chengdu city, no matter how careful we are, it is useless. This is Wang Yuan's territory, and if he wants to move us, it will be easy. It's just a good thing to be careful, after all, he won't dare touch us easily. ”

"Don't worry about Yuan Ye, if Wang Yuan dares to act rashly, the brothers will definitely protect Yuan Ye and leave safely. This time, the people I brought were all guards in the palace, and they all had some kung fu. Zhang Debiao said in a deep voice.

Yuan Mingyuan nodded and said, "Let's not talk about this yet, I have something to discuss with you." In that restaurant just now, did you hear what our family said to Wei Jian and Su Yan Zhenqing? ”

Zhang Debiao said: "I heard it clearly, I was standing outside the box, and I couldn't do it if I didn't want to listen." ”

Yuan Mingyuan said: "What do you think? What Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing said was not the same as what Wang Yuan said to our family this morning. We always felt like there was something going on here. You say, if the Emperor really left Chengdu City, how could Yan Zhenqing not know? It seems that Yan Zhenqing's expression and tone today don't look like a show, could it be that he really doesn't know about the Emperor Taishang's departure from Chengdu? That's amazing. The Emperor Taishang has abdicated, and there is no need to hide where the Emperor Taishang goes, and there is no need to be so cautious. This is in Jiannan Dao again, and Wei Jiansu said that it was for the safety of the Emperor Taishang so it was kept secret, why do I think it looks like a lie? ”

Zhang Debiao frowned and pondered: "I also feel strange when I humble my position, listening to that tone, it seems that Yan Zhenqing inadvertently revealed something, and Wei Jiansu was in a hurry to cover it up for him." Also, he obviously heard that Yan Zhenqing said that the emperor would return to the capital in a few days, but how did he change when he got to Na Wei Jiansu's mouth. That Yan Zhenqing was also in a hurry to change his words. It's always a little strange. ”

Yuan Mingyuan nodded slowly and said, "Did you hear that sentence too?" That's it. This is enough to prove that Yan Zhenqing is telling the truth, while Wei Jiansu is telling a lie. I'm afraid what Wang Yuan said to me in the morning is also false. Even the matter of the Emperor Taishang going to Mount Emei may not be true. ”

Zhang Debiao said: "Yuan Ye is saying that Wang Yuan is deceiving us at all?" Don't let you see the Emperor? ”

Yuan Mingyuan nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case." He just doesn't want our family to see the Emperor, because he must know what we are here for. This guy is so slippery, he dares to deceive Qincha. ”

Zhang Debiao thought for a while and said: "Master Yuan, that Yan Zhenqing seems to be dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, if you go to visit Yan Zhenqing, maybe you can tell the truth from his mouth." ”

Yuan Mingyuan waved his hand slowly and said, "No, our every move should be under Wang Yuan's surveillance, and it is a risky move to find Yan Zhenqing." Doesn't this tell Wang Yuan that we already have some doubts. ”

Zhang Debiao smacked his lips and nodded: "That's right, besides, Yan Zhenqing has been in Chengdu after all, and Wang Yuan is his savior, so he can't believe his words." ”

Yuan Mingyuan frowned and got up and paced, and after a while, his fingers tapped lightly on the table and said, "If the Emperor Taishang is in Chengdu, our family must see the Emperor Taishang, and we can't let Wang Yuan block the drive." If it doesn't work in the open, let's meet in secret. Zhang Debiao, are the hands and feet of the Inner Palace guards you brought still sharp? ”

"Needless to say? They were all singled out to protect Yuan Ye, can they not be profitable? Ordinary three or five soldiers are not a problem at all. Zhang Debiao said.

"No, no, no, it's not that you want to fight and kill, you have to be lightweight, and you have to do a good job of lightening your body, tonight I unknowingly touched the Sanhua Building to find out, and saw if the Emperor Taishang was in the Sanhua Building, and everything was known. There must be a Shence army guarding around the scattered flower building, and what you want is to sneak in secretly. Even if I can't see the Emperor, I will bring His Majesty's message to the Emperor. Yuan Mingyuan said in a deep voice.

Zhang Debiao frowned and said, "But didn't Yuan Ye say that we shouldn't act rashly?" ”

Yuan Mingyuan said: "It's not appropriate to act rashly, but it's not that you don't dare to move." Let's pretend that we don't know anything, and Wang Yuan and they don't have any defense. Give them a surprise action at night, as long as their hands and feet are neat, they will not know. ”

Zhang Debiao nodded and said: "What Yuan Ye said is that there are a few people who are good at light body kung fu, but isn't Yuan Ye worried about the revelation of the matter and angering Wang Yuan?" This is his territory, and we have the duty to protect Yuan Ye, so wouldn't it be too risky to do so. ”

Yuan Mingyuan scolded: "Adventure fart!" We just don't want to tear up our faces with him. We are sent by the imperial court, and our family is the director of the internal service, and we came by order of the emperor. Even if the matter is revealed, let's confront each other clearly, what does he Wang Yuan dare to do with us? He still dares to kill me? If he dares to kill the Chincha, isn't that a rebellion? ”

Zhang Debiao said repeatedly: "What Yuan Ye said is extremely true. So the lowly position is ready to rise? ”

Yuan Mingyuan said: "To choose a good candidate, you must work well." The others don't need to be prepared, there are too many tosses and they are revealed. I didn't have to step on it, I lived in Chengdu for a while, and the outer wall of the scattered flower building was not high. It's not hard to steal in. The only thing to be aware of is that we can't be discovered by the people they are watching during the night outing. ”

Zhang Debiao hurriedly said: "This is easy to do, let's pretend to go shopping in the building at night, and the brothers will go to the Qingguan and then get out of the Qingguan." Let Wang Yuan's men keep watch outside the Qingguan. By the way, Yuan Ye can also go together, and he will have fun in the Qingguan. We're done with things and we're going back to the Youth Hall. ”

Yuan Mingyuan glared at Zhang Debiao with sharp eyes, Zhang Debiao suddenly understood that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly confessed: "Damn, damn, look at my mouth." Yuan Ye must not be surprised, he has forgotten Yuan Ye's identity. ”

Yuan Mingyuan couldn't wait to slap him a few mouths to dissipate his anger, he was an internal servant, there was nothing refreshing and refreshing below, and he was carrying a stinking diaper, what could he do to have fun? If it weren't for seeing Zhang Debiao with a slippery mouth and not paying attention to proportion, he would insult himself like this, even if he wanted him to look good.

"Come on, let's go out at night and pretend to go shopping, just to distract some stalkers for you. Our family is hanging around in Dongcheng, and if something happens, I can show up to save you. Yuan Mingyuan waved his hand and blasted Zhang Debiao out of the room like a fly.

……

In the afternoon, Yuan Mingyuan and his entourage did not step out of the door of the pavilion. It wasn't until it was dark that Yuan Mingyuan left the pavilion surrounded by seven or eight relatives, they changed into casual clothes, and walked along Dongmen Street to walk along the night market.

Since Wang Yuan came here, the night market in Chengdu has gradually prospered. Wang Yuan did not want Chengdu to become a cage at night like Chang'an, so he encouraged merchants to open the market at night and encourage people to go out and set up stalls at night. For this reason, Wang Yuan even set up a subsidy for money called 'lamp oil money', which is a kind of money subsidy for merchants who start at night.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, Chengdu's night market had prospered to a considerable extent, and there was no entertainment in those years, and the people could only blow out the lamps and go to bed at night, and their lives were boring. But with the development of the night market, the people of Chengdu have gradually adapted to the nightlife. The prosperity of the night market has also promoted the development of commerce in Chengdu, bringing many benefits.

In the aftermath of the riots, the night market in Chengdu had to be closed for a while due to the influx of refugees. But now that the war has subsided and the night market has reopened, the people who have been suppressed for more than a year are full of interest, so the night market has been extremely prosperous for more than a month.

Yuan Mingyuan was deeply impressed. At the banquet before, he once said that when he saw the people of Chengdu with smiles on their faces, he felt that their lives must be very comfortable. And now, he realized that he seemed to have found the source of the smiles on the faces of the people. Looking at the flow of people on the street, the daytime night market shops on both sides of the street, and the melodious wine shops and song houses, he couldn't help but think of the situation in Chang'an City at this moment. At this time, Chang'an must have been empty and the Wuhou galloped, shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. After His Majesty entered Beijing, he enforced the night ban stricter, for fear that the remnants of the traitors would cause chaos in the city. In the past, people who were still walking on the streets after the night ban were only beaten with boards, but now Wuhou has the right to make temporary decisions, even if they are killed in the street. So the current Chang'an is like a dead city at night.

And only more than a thousand miles away in Chengdu, here and Chang'an are simply two worlds. It's no wonder that the people who wander through the glittering lights of the streets are smiling, because they have a very different life.

Yuan Mingyuan didn't have much time to sigh about this, he and seven or eight entourages were walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder streets, while thinking about the group of people behind him who had been following him from the pavilion. Obviously, those people are all people who are eyeing themselves, and they must be Wang Yuan's people. However, Yuan Mingyuan was not worried about being followed by them, on the contrary, he was worried that they would not follow him, because the purpose of going out to visit the night market was to attract the attention of these people, so that Zhang Debiao and the other four guards with strong martial arts could leave the pavilion safely and carry out the action of visiting Sanhualou tonight. The more people he attracts, the more he can let Zhang Debiao and them move freely.

With this purpose in mind, Yuan Mingyuan wandered slowly in the night market, ate snacks several times, entered several taverns, and tried to delay as much as possible. More than an hour later, nearly two watches, the crowd on the street gradually thinned. Yuan Mingyuan estimated that Zhang Debiao and they should have already started to act.

Zhang Debiao and they did start the action on the second watch, and after Yuan Mingyuan left the pavilion, a group of five people observed several other stalkers who were watching outside the pavilion, obviously these stalking guys were very experienced, and they did not all follow Yuan Mingyuan to leave. But this is not difficult for Zhang Debiao. Zhang Debiao had already planned to get rid of them.

The second watch drum sounded, and a few people went out from the pavilion, and they didn't hide their figures, and came to the market with a few tails behind them. Unlike Yuan Mingyuan's wandering around, Zhang Debiao's goal was very clear, he went to the market, and plunged into the 'Mingyue Building', the largest green hall in Chengdu. Obviously, the few people who were watching didn't expect that they were coming to visit the restaurant, and they lingered outside the Qingguan without coming in, and kept guarding the door.

This is exactly the plan set by Zhang Debiao and others, using the Qingguan as a place to get out, these stalking guys will not rush to the guest room of the Qingguan and lift the quilt to monitor themselves and others. At most, they waited at the front and back doors.

Several people are frequent customers of the brothel in Qinglou, although the Qingguan in Chengdu has not been patronized, but the rules are generally similar. So I ordered a few women in the youth hall to pack the night, and I didn't listen to those tricks of singing and playing the piano, so I went directly into the room on the second floor with my arms around them. Although there was a big operation at night, in line with the principle of not wasting it, several people still roared and hugged their respective fans and shot a shot. In the middle of the second watch, Zhang Debiao first got up from the quilt, tied the woman in the room into a dumpling with a rope and threw her mouth in the quilt, then changed into black clothes and went out, and called the rest of the guards next to the room. The men were already ready, and soon gathered under the shadow of the staircase.

"Go to the room." Zhang Debiao gave an order, and these people walked up to the roof of the Qingguan along the eaves of the corridor, and then moved quickly along the tiles next to the high and low streets.

Zhang Debiao already knows the location of the scattered flower building. Although they did not go through the on-the-spot stepping point, in the afternoon in the pavilion, Yuan Mingyuan had already used pen and paper to draw a sketch of the map of the street near the left side of the Sanhua Building, and the signs were clear. Yuan Mingyuan had followed Li Mao in Chengdu for several months, and he was already an errand servant, so he knew all the streets and alleys in Chengdu very well, and of course the area around Sanhualou was even more clear. In fact, even if Yuan Mingyuan didn't know the location, Zhang Debiao and the others wouldn't know where the Scattered Flower Building was. Because the location of the Sanhua Building is actually very abrupt, in the East Side, this tall building is a landmark that is higher than all the buildings, and you can see the lights on the upper floor from a distance, and you only need to go towards the tall building to reach.

A few black shadows jumped high and low, and rushed north along the tile. At the corner of the street near the scattered flower building, several dark shadows lurked on the ridge of the roof and waited quietly. At this moment, the streets are already darkly lit, and the night market has come to an end. There weren't many pedestrians left on the dimly lit streets. Most of the lights hanging in front of the shop were also extinguished, and only a few strings of wind lamps hanging on the lamp poles set up more than 100 steps apart emitted a miserable white light in the night. The voices of the people in the four times have gradually fallen silent, and the sound of the third watch has also sounded, which is the best time to act.

Zhang Debiao waved his hand, and several people quietly climbed off the roof, and quickly approached the wall south of Sanhualou along the dark shadow of the street. Under the eaves of a shop dozens of steps away from the wall, several people stopped to watch. But I saw that the open space dozens of steps wide outside the wall of the Sanhualou was empty. There are also wind lamps hanging on the walls of a few feet high, but the light is really dim. This is not what Zhang Debiao is worried about, they are only worried about the guards patrolling outside the wall.

However, after waiting for a meal, there was only a group of a dozen or so guards who dragged through the clearing, and nothing else.

Zhang Debiao was overjoyed in his heart, it seems that the defense of this scattered flower building is not tight, and the night patrol is only a meal to have a team of patrol guards. With such a long time apart, it is enough for a few of them to act.

"Okay
