Since Young Master Fang has shown up, of course this arson case will not be resolved, before leaving, Chen Jiulin quietly invited Fang Zheng to the back hall, bowed to him non-stop, Lord Chen said with a bitter face: "Lord Fang, no, my name is Uncle Fang?" Please, don't make trouble in our capital in the future! The lower official only wants not to make any mistakes in office, and in two years, the lower official may be released as an official, and then you love to toss and toss in this capital, please, how about you stop for a while in these two years? ”

Chen Jiulin is the Yin of the fourth-grade mansion, but Fang Zheng is just a fifth-grade idle official, the reason why he pleaded with Fang Zheng in such a low voice regardless of the rules of officialdom, Chen Jiulin also has his own difficulties.

As we all know, the governor of the capital is not good, a typical rat in the bellows, angry at both ends. Although he is nominally the parent official of the capital, he is in charge of the city's public security and criminal cases, but the first-class and second-grade officials in the capital, as well as the family, the princes and princes, the generals with the troops, etc., these people are all over the place, who can a small Sipin Mansion Yin manage? Who does he dare to control? Not to mention the princes and ministers, he didn't even dare to care about the five-grade idle official in front of him, because he knew that this person was rarely compared to the Holy Grace, not to mention that he was about to become the concubine of Princess Changping, the son-in-law of the emperor today, can he afford this kind of person?

But this five-grade idle official is really good at causing trouble, and there have been several major events in the capital in the past six months, which one was not provoked by him? Chen Jiulin didn't know how many times he was reprimanded by the emperor because of Fang Zheng, Lord Chen had no choice, he was afraid that there would be any more trouble, and the black gauze hat on his head would not be able to keep it, so he invited Fang Zheng to the back hall and begged him in a low voice.

Fang Zheng was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey, what do you mean by this?" How did I feel like a pest, doing nothing every day, and doing all the harm to others? ”

Chen Jiulin hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Lord Fang's words are serious......

Fang Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "Look all over the world, is there a pest as handsome as me?" ”

"The lower officials only seek peace......

"If you want peace, you should go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, what's the use of begging me?"

“…………”

Fang Zheng's words contained guns and sticks, which made Chen Jiulin silent for a long time, seeing that his face was red and white, Fang Zheng's shame and indignation when he was tied up and carried into the court by his subordinates couldn't help but decrease a little.

patted Chen Jiulin on the shoulder, Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Lord Chen, I was joking with you just now, don't take it to heart." Don't worry, I'll try to make as little trouble as possible in the future and give you some face. ”

Chen Jiulin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was busy thanking him. After Fang Zheng and his subordinates disappeared outside the court, Chen Jiulin snorted hatefully and scolded: "Wandering children!" After scolding, he brushed his sleeves and went back to the inner courtyard to find his concubine Hu Tianhu.

The new house was burned, so naturally it was impossible to go, and on the way back to the old house in the west of the city of his subordinates, Fang Zheng coughed embarrassedly and asked, "Uh...... How ripe is that house, ahem, burned to the ground? ”

Vinson still hasn't figured out why their immediate boss burned down their house. It seems that the style of the big man is really unfathomable.

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Wen Sen replied honestly: "If you go back to your lordship, most of it has been burned, and there are ruins and scorched earth everywhere......"

Fang Zheng's face became even more embarrassed, and he kept scolding Xiao Huaiyuan in his heart, why wasn't this kid caught? It's really strange, it is said that this kid jumped into the river, and it is easier for the people to catch him than to catch Wang Ba......

"Change a house, you will do it tomorrow, you have to find a reliable place, a reliable person." Fang Zheng's expression was as usual.

"My lord, why is that?"

"Our people haven't moved in yet, and many people in the court know about it, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Aren't you good at finding out the news and being good at stealth? I don't know if I'm being targeted, are you ashamed? Fang Zheng glared at Vincent fiercely.

Vincent and his subordinates suddenly realized: "...... It turned out that the intention of the adults to burn the house was this, but now it seems that this house is really unlivable. ”

Everyone thought that they were being targeted but didn't realize it, and in the end, Lord Fang had to personally set fire to the house to warn them, after everyone looked at each other, they couldn't help but be ashamed, and at the same time, the other party's clever calculation, the unpredictable prophet admired a little more.

Of course, Fang Zheng didn't expect that his momentary nonsense would win the real respect of his subordinates, which was really an unexpected gain.

At this time, Fang Zheng himself was ashamed, he always thought that although he was not a good person, he was not a bad person, but after fooling this group of subordinates who completely trusted him, he had a deep sense of guilt. - It's all to blame on that bastard named Xiao Huaiyuan! Fang Zheng pushed the black cauldron to him without hesitation.

"Old Wen, are the brothers still free?" Fang Zheng pulled Wen Sen over and asked quietly.

Wen Sen nodded when he heard this: "Everyone has not had any errands recently, and the emperor has ordered it, and you will assign errands in the future." ”

Fang Zheng smiled: "That's good, listen, you help me to keep an eye on someone, that person's name is Xiao Huaiyuan, according to him, he works in the Prince's Mansion, you go and help me touch his details." - This is going to be done to no one else, except for the brother who is on the mission, and no one is allowed to tell it, do you hear? ”

Fang Zheng always felt that Xiao Huaiyuan was a very strange person, and his identity should be more than just doing things in the Prince's Mansion. And the Shadow Brothers happened to be there on the first day they moved in, which was unusual in every way. It just so happens that there is an intelligence organization on hand that specializes in finding out information, so don't use it in vain, check him out.

For the first time, Vincent felt honored to receive the task assigned by his immediate boss, and promised to complete the task, and he planned to go out in person to repay Lord Fang's kindness.

Fang Zheng was very useful by the endless sycophants sent by Vinson, half-squinted his eyes and reveled for a long time, and then he waved his hand unsatisfied, telling Vincent to think about some more flowery words and save them for next time.

Then Fang Zheng began to discuss with Wen Sen about building a base and recruiting manpower as he walked, according to the emperor's will, the shadow must develop as soon as possible, it seems that the emperor has begun to sharpen his knife and is ready to make a move on Pan Shangshu.

The afternoon sun was scorching, Fang Zheng said with a dry mouth, wiped a handful of sweat, and unconsciously licked his dry lips.

Seeing that the boss was thirsty, he quickly untied the water bladder hanging on his waist and handed it over, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, it's hot, drink saliva." ”

Fang Zheng nodded at him with approval in his eyes: "You are a good comrade, you have worked hard at the grassroots level for two years, and if you have the opportunity, ......the official will promote you well" After speaking, he took the water bladder and wanted to pour it into his mouth.

Wen Sen smiled on the side: "Thank you for your appreciation, my subordinates just did what they should do, and it is said that drinking well water on a hot day really quenches ...... thirst, it's cool, hehe"

Well? Fang Zheng hurriedly put down the water bladder, and said, "Where is this well water?" ”

Vinson smiled: "It's the well outside our kitchen where the fire broke out, and after everyone put out the fire, each person filled a water bladder......

The well outside the kitchen...... Ahem...... It's dangerous! I almost drank it just now......

Fang Zheng glanced at Wen Sen with a strange expression, immediately handed him back the water bladder, and said seriously: "...... The official suddenly felt that he was not thirsty at all, what a strange thing......"

Vincent shook his head and said, "Adults don't drink anymore?" ”

"I don't drink anymore."

Vincent smiled, "My subordinates are a little thirsty, hehe." ”

Before Fang Zheng could stop it, Vincent pulled the plug and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

Fang Zheng's eyes were straight, his lips pursed, and he stopped talking.

"How does it taste?" Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask.

Vinson smacked his lips and frowned, "Huh? It's kind of weird......"

"It's normal, it's hot, and the water has gone bad."

"I see, my lord is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable......"

“…………”

After temporarily placing the shadows in the old mansion in the west of the city, Fang Zheng was hurriedly summoned into the forbidden palace by the eunuchs in the palace.

Of course, Young Master Fang's burning of the house could not be hidden from the emperor, and as expected, the emperor scolded him again.

Fang Zheng drooped his head, he didn't dare to put a fart, and scolded him honestly, because he really did a bad job in this matter.

The emperor reprimanded for about half an hour, and then his anger did not subside: "Hmph! I have thousands of people in the world, why did you have such a person? You actually burned your own house with your own hands, no wonder others used to call you a loser......"

Fang Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor's face finally eased slightly, and said with a smile: "The emperor is angry, this time it is a mistake, and Weichen will not make it again." - Next time we want to burn, let's burn Pan Shangshu's house to ......"

The emperor said angrily: "There is a next time? If you do it again next time, you will wait to go to the court! Get lost! Get out! I'm upset when I see you! ”

Fang Zheng hurriedly retreated, and had already walked to the door, and the emperor stopped him again.

"Come back!"

glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, and the emperor said, "I am all confused by you. I ask you, how is the shadow going? ”

"Back to the emperor, the growth is gratifying, the growth is gratifying!" Fang Zheng didn't dare to be angry with the emperor anymore at this time, just say whatever it sounds like.

"What does it mean to be 'thriving'? Shall you grow vegetables? "The emperor has another sign of madness.

Fang Zheng hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Well, Weichen is actively preparing, he has bought a piece of land outside the city in the past few days, and plans to build a house and then ask the sergeants to encircle it, and the newly recruited people will train there in the future......"

The emperor frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to select refined people among the various armies?" Why is it so late now? ”

Fang Zheng said with a bitter face: "Wechen plans to choose in a few days, but the emperor, Wechen has a word, Wechen thinks, shadow recruitment does not necessarily have to choose people in the army, the sergeant has been a soldier for a long time, and there is a kind of temperament on his body, others will show his stuffing after a little observation, and then be killed, Wechen estimates that you will have to pay for the pension alone......"

"And where are you going to choose?"

Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said cautiously: "In many places, such as the secret recruitment of civilians by the people, or the merchants who walk the foot, the Langzhong in the countryside, the students of the academy, and even ...... It's a prisoner in a cell, as long as he looks ordinary and unobtrusive. Of course, Weichen's this is just a suggestion, whether it will work or not, please ask the emperor to decide. ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, your words are very reasonable, the shadow is not an army, there is no need for them to go into battle to fight, and it is really inappropriate to choose sergeants to fill it......"

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "The emperor is wise, in this way, there are secret agents of our shadow in all walks of life, and the shadow can grow rapidly." ”

After a pause, Fang Zheng continued: "In the future, the shadow will grow stronger, and Weichen plans to divide the shadow into several parts according to its functions, and everyone will perform their own responsibilities and communicate with each other, so that the efficiency will be higher." At that time, there will inevitably be some affairs on the surface, and then it will be possible to select elite men from the various armies to fill them. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "I have given you full authority in this matter, you must handle it seriously, no matter where you choose people, I will not interfere, but I want to see the result, and the newly recruited manpower must come in handy in the shortest possible time!" Do you understand? ”

Fang Zheng hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. Just as he was about to retire to the emperor, the emperor suddenly said: "In a few days, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will come to your house, and you can receive it well." ”

Fang Zheng Yileng, Yang Duqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? What is he doing at my house? I don't know him well......

When the emperor saw his stunned look, he couldn't help but smile: "Silly boy, are you going to get along with my Mi'er like this all the time?" Hum! I can't afford to lose face! ”

Fang Zheng's mind turned quickly, and when he heard the words, he immediately understood, the emperor was going to marry Changping to me, so he sent the secretary of the Ministry of Rites to discuss family affairs.

A burst of ecstasy filled his chest, Fang Zheng's face turned red with excitement, he was dizzy like drinking alcohol, and there was only one thought in his heart that kept flickering: I am going to get married, I am going to be a family in the future, young master, I will be a man with a family and a room in the future......

Seeing Fang Zheng's expression, the emperor couldn't help but be startled: "Fang Zheng,...... Are you okay? What happened to you? ”

Fang Zheng shook his head vigorously, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, when the emperor was inexplicable, Fang Zheng unexpectedly grabbed the emperor's hand, shook it, shook it again, his tone was excited, and his voice was choked: "Your Majesty, no, father-in-law, father-in-law,............ Woo woo, I've finally waited for this day......"

The emperor may have never been so intimate with a child, and coughed twice unnaturally, but he was still pleased with Fang Zheng's intimate movements, stretched out his dragon claws, patted Fang Zheng on the shoulder with kindness and a little stiffness, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, he is not yet nineteen years old, he is already a five-grade official residence, and he is a loyal and brave uncle, and he should also start a family." In the future, you must treat my Mi'er well, otherwise I will have to settle the new account and the old account together, and cut off your head! ”

Fang Zheng wiped his tears and sobbed, "Your Majesty...... I have a question for me. ”

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng with a smile on his face, his eyes full of relief: "You ask." ”

"Wei Chen just wanted to ask,...... How much dowry does the royal bride give? ”
