At noon, Hu Cheng turned out of an alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dressed in a purple robe, wrapped in a folded scarf, and pinned with a long knife, he swaggered and walked towards the cross street.

He hummed a little song, walked like a crab, followed by two guards, also with a big waist and a round waist, pinned to the waist knife, and all the pedestrians he saw dodged.

Hu Employment has been out of nowhere recently, but after being appointed as the head of the intelligence department at the beginning of the first month, he disappeared in Pi, Sui, and Su.

In his report to Yang Xianggong, he claimed that he was actively carrying out intelligence work, opened three "Chaotian Pots" in the three places, collected a lot of informants, and was comprehensively collecting people, customs, and human feelings in the three places, and achieved remarkable results.

Of course, to say that, with his temperament and the funds allocated, it is possible to do some unsightly things outside.

Hu Zhiyi, Hu Zhiyi brothers, this temperament can be described as a world of difference, Hu Zhiyi quietly waited in Xin'an Zhuang to train soldiers, very relieved to be his supervisor of the station, I can't wait to stay in the village for the rest of my life and don't go out, as long as there are eagles to catch chickens to play.

Hu Employment is impatient to stay in the calm and stable Xin'an Village, yearning for the outside world of flowers, the more chaotic and noisy the better.

Therefore, after he was appointed as the director of the intelligence department, he was like a fish in water, and he did not see anyone for three days.

However, it is true that he opened three "Chaotian Pots" in three places, which are three restaurants, focusing on Shandong's specialty food, including dried pork rice, quack, fried buns and other delicious snacks.

There is also the staple food of Chaotian pot, simmering soup with chicken and donkey meat, mainly boiling whole pig, plus more than a dozen kinds of seasonings and side dishes, fat but not greasy, delicious and delicious, the soup is light and not turbid, and the pancake is used, its taste is endless, and it is widely welcomed by the people of the three places.

It is also related to the main strategy of "Chaotian Pot" with small profits and quick turnover, you can try it with or without money, and the news that comes every day is abundant.

Suining this is the beginning of February opened, when Yang Xianggong "Spring Building" is still boiling in Suining City, with this spring breeze "Suining Chaotian Pot" successfully opened, the location is selected in a rather lively and prosperous cross street.

The outside world is rumoring that the boss of Chaotian Pot has a lot to do with Xin'anzhuang on the north shore, just like when "Suining Chaotian Pot" opened, Liao Ye, Zou Ye, and Xiong Ye of Lian Zongfu all went to cheer. It was the three soaps in the department, they nodded in front of Yang He, but they were strong local snakes in Suining.

It is also said that the boss of "Chaotian Pot" knows a certain personal guard next to Lord Yang, in short, the relationship is very hard, no matter whether it is black or white, he does not dare to come over to fight the autumn breeze, and all parties also give face.

Of course, there is a relationship, the rules can not be broken, to open a local business, there should be no less "upward bank", like the "Chaotian pot" of this grade of restaurants, the local money to enter the guild is 30 taels of silver.

Hu's employment funds are still sufficient, so it doesn't matter if he pays the money, and he meets the regulations of the guild that "newly opened shops are not allowed to be opened next door to the left and right of the door", so he has been recognized by his peers in the industry and allowed to open and operate locally.

Some time ago, Hu Employment had been busy with the matter of "Suqian Chaotian Pot", and suddenly received instructions from Zhuangzhong, so he hurried from Suqian City to Suining City.

At this time, he hurriedly walked to the "Suining Chaotian Pot" shop on the cross street, still holding a finch hairpin in his hand, but he was busy and purchased this finch hairpin in this well-known silver jewelry store in the city to give Yu scissors as a gift.

Hu Employment and Yu Scissors are already in the stage of eyebrows, and the old blacksmith Yu is also quite open-minded, he doesn't pay much attention to his parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker are good, as long as his granddaughter likes it, otherwise at that time, he would not be so annoyed by Han Lan's matter.

Han Lan is a commander, how many people are willing to give his daughter and granddaughter to him as a concubine but can't get it.

But this is difficult for Hu to get a job, the traditional method does not work, in the past, he also belonged to the range of simple and rough methods of taking money with one hand and taking off his pants with the other, and pursued a girl seriously, but he didn't know how to start.

He is quite tempted by Yu scissors, although it is a little dark, but this Yu little lady is a very gentle and shy girl, and she will quench, and after getting married, both husband and wife have skills to pass on to their children.

But Yu Scissors is always shy to answer when he sees him, so that Hu Employment can't touch the door, do you agree or not, can you be sure?

He thought about it, and the way to express his heart was to buy, and everywhere he went, he would bring back some exquisite and beautiful commercial goods to Yu Scissors to win the hearts of beautiful women.

Seeing this hairpin today, Hu Employment bought it.

At the same time, he also gave Zeng Youyu a pair of silver bracelets, so that he could give them to Li Zhuniang, there are no good goods in the market, it is very difficult to give any gifts, Zeng Youzi is difficult to go out, brother, Hu Employment thinks he should help with this.

Zeng Youyu over there, according to Hu's employment observation, he and Li Zhuniang were also in the stage of eyebrows, but her eldest brother Li Tiannan always frowned at Zeng Youyu.

If this eldest brother is a father, and the eldest brother does not agree, it is difficult to say about this sister's marriage.

Hu Employment felt that Zeng Youzi wanted to hold the beauty, which might be more difficult than himself.

They walked to the store, all the way to the "Hu Ye, Hu Ye" greetings, although there is a shopkeeper in the "Suining Chaotian Pot", but the merchants in this area know that this purple-robed man is the owner of this shop.

This person is quite large, and he has stores in Pizhou, one state and two counties, so he is constantly flattering and greeting.

Hu is employed, he has quickly mastered this set, and the two nursing homes behind him are also swaying and following.

In this world, it is always inconvenient to recruit people into the army, but they are suitable for other industries, but these two people are people who occupy the city not far from Xin'anzhuang, and they are quite proficient in fists and feet, knives and sticks, and they have mixed in Pizhou City, and they are very familiar with the affairs of the market, so they were recruited into the intelligence office.

This kind of person has recruited dozens of people in Xin'anzhuang, and they have been recruited into various places as backbones, and they are nominally the guardians of the outside world.

"I'm in charge of the day, this rotten road."

It has been raining for the past two days, the road is quite muddy, the road is high and low, full of puddles, Hu Employment stepped on it, almost dropped the hairpins, and couldn't help but curse.

Fortunately, I soon arrived at the cross street, there is a drum tower here, because it is rumored that the thieves are coming, the market is a little depressed and panicked, and even the business of "Suining Chaotian Pot" is affected, but at this time, there are groups of Ding Zhuang people on the side of the drum tower to go to Yaqian Street.

Everyone said that the city was hiring people to carry bricks, stones, armor, etc., and each time they gave twenty wen and three cakes, the people were quite tempted and wanted to go and see it.

Listening to the loud voices, Hu Cheng knew that this was Yang Xianggong's handwriting, and suddenly brought up the hearts of the panicked people, and wanted to go with him, but heard a few laughs and discussions.

"It's just twenty dollars, three cakes, it's worth working hard, it's really a rammed goods."

"It's just that after a lifetime of poverty, you can't be full all year round."

"Alas, don't say that, not everyone is as blessed as us, and they can eat and drink well with Geng Ye, which is called the same life."

"If the rogue comes, I don't know if we can fish in troubled waters, hehe......"

Hu Cheng's eyes flashed, just to look, but he saw a group of people with green skin sticks leaning against the side of the drum tower, all with sleeves caged, squatting or standing, constantly laughing, and a man wearing a green robe and a folded scarf was standing with his hands behind his back, also looking at the side of Yaqian Street.

Hu Cheng changed his mind and still went back to his "Suining Chaotian Pot" shop, but saw a stick looking at him, quite envious and greedy.

Hu Cheng glared at him fiercely: "What are you looking at?" ”

Looking at his fierce face, the three big men were all burly, and the two behind him also coldly pressed their waist knife, and the stick was immediately weak.

But the street is mixed, the most important thing is the momentum, and there are no brothers around him, as soon as the stick is horizontal, he is about to jump up, and suddenly a slap hit him in the mouth, making him jump up and fall back, a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

But it was the green-robed man who made a move, he glanced at the stick coldly, and then smiled and gave it to Hu Cheng: "In Xia Geng Tianliang, in front of Hu Ye of the 'Chaotian Pot'?" Geng once went to the shop to eat, and the food inside was really amazing. ”

Hu Employment also smiled and said, "Oh...... It turned out to be Geng Ye, who had time to drink tea together. ”

He had no impression of this person at all, and after saying a few words, he went back to his shop, and then heard the scolding of the green-robed man, Geng Tianliang.

"That Chaotian pot Hu Ye knows the people of Lian Zongfu, it's not something you can mess with. Remember, during this time, don't provoke anyone related to the Lian General Mansion......"

There was also a faint voice from the green-robed man: "What about Liu Fengying, why can't anyone see it?" And I heard that Liu Dayou from the West Street Preserved Fruit Shop has a relationship with the people of Chaotian Pot? Go, prepare a gift box, send it to the preserved fruit shop, and make friends. ”

……

Liu Dayou stood with a smile, his thin figure in stark contrast to the burly men around him.

On the mahogany chair in front of him, Hu Cheng slowly and methodically smoked his pipe.

This is the backyard of the "Suining Chaotian Pot" store, but it is a two-story building, and Hu Employment has an office on the second floor.

At this time, he looked at Liu Dayou in front of him, this young man had a kind face and a warm smile on his face, and said strangely: "You mean, all the green-skinned sticks in Suining City, who they associate with, and where they live, you have all recorded them in this book?" ”

Liu Dayou said: "Yes, the villain has spent three years investigating this matter, and I can find out all the frauds, beatings, robberies, and hooligans in Suining City." If Hu Ye wants to take action, he can follow the map and wipe them out, and the people behind them can't escape. ”

Hu Cheng took a breath: "You kid." ”

Liu Dayou is an informant he inadvertently recruited last month, this person said that his father used to be the secret son of Jinyiwei, since he was a child, under the influence of his father, he can do some small kung fu to capture, and can also pick locks, set traps and other skills.

It is also regarded as a family history, and it will definitely be of great service to Hu Ye.

Of course, Hu Employment will not believe that he accepts a person casually, that is, he is from the Jinyiwei family, although after the emperor ascended the throne, all the Jinyiwei in the world were withdrawn and all returned to Beijing, but in the past, these were ruthless characters who could stop children crying at night.

But Hu Employment is an old fritter, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he will not think that the kid in front of him is as harmless to humans and animals as he looks.

He took the booklet handed by Liu Dayou, and read it a few times, but unfortunately until now, although he has been beaten a lot, and the skin of his ass has been beaten solid like a leather shield, but he still doesn't know many words, this aspect is his shortcoming, no way is no way.

Fortunately, there is a bookstore next to him, a native of Gaozhuang on the north bank, surnamed Shu, because he is used to keeping two whiskers, also known as the rat master, after he was recruited into Xin'anzhuang, the elderly father in the family and inconvenient legs and feet were arranged as cleaners and had a stable income.

Each family also has arrangements, and he is desperate for Xin'anzhuang and Yang Xianggong.

He had a diploma from a child, and he could write and calculate, and he was more interested in secrets, so he was transferred to the intelligence office to assist Hu in his employment work.

Hu Employment handed the booklet to the rat master on the side, and the rat lord looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and kept whispering in Hu Employment's ear.

Hu Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he laughed and got up, and patted Liu Dayou on the shoulder a few times, making him grin and shake.

He said affectionately: "Okay, you kid has a set, and a certain family will give you a great credit." By the way, you've been in the streets and alleys recently, have you found thieves doing their activities, or which green-skinned singles may be thieves? ”

Yang Xianggong had ordered the intelligence center to pay attention to whether there were thieves in the city and whether there were signs of instability in everyone's minds.

It's just that at present, he is still in the stage of collecting and exploring, compiling the geographical conditions of people from all over the world into a book, and it is difficult to start in many aspects.

Now that you can really follow the map, you can ask Liu Dayou casually at this time.

But I heard Liu Dayou say: "Master Hu, the green-skinned sticks in the city are all scum, and if the rogues come, they are hidden dangers." What's more, these people have done absolutely bad things, and the people have been harmed by countless people, and now under the rule of Lord Yang, the sky is bright and sunny, how can flies and dogs be allowed to run rampant? Whether they are thieves or not, why not take this opportunity to kill them all? ”

Hu was startled, and the pipe in his hand almost fell to the ground.

But before meeting, Liu Dayou stood with a smile, and the smile was warm and kind.

……

The rain was so heavy that I almost cut off my vision.

Everywhere there was a vast expanse, and the grass and trees were cracked.

The ditch and pond in front of me swelled when I saw it, and the official road became a road river.

The sound of hooves trampling, the sound of hissing has been far away, this is the Tuqiaopu near the big Li Ji, it is also the junction of Suining and Lingbi and Hongxian, the official road comes from the south of Suining City, winding southwest fifty miles, just here to branch the road, west to Lingbi, south to Weiqiaopu in Hongxian County.

The earth bridge shop can hide from the rain, when it became a broken wall, most of the surrounding villages are deserted, and it is a few miles away from the official road, but fortunately, it seems that there is a house more than 100 steps away from the northwest side of the earth bridge shop, although it is also deserted, but it seems that it can shelter from the rain.

In the torrential rain, the sound of hooves is in the past, and then there is an abandoned house in front of me, the wall has long collapsed, and some of the wings are ruined, but fortunately, the lobby in front of me is basically intact, but the walls on both sides are broken holes, and some wind and rain can be entered.

There were five horsemen here, all in gray felt hats and black cloaks, the first of them raised their heads, and the eyes under the felt hats were as bright as stars, and at this time water droplets continued to fall from the brim of the lacquered hat and drip on the cloak.

I heard the knight say: "Sixth son, you can see it clearly, there is no one in this area, right?" Don't hide from the thieves' sentry. ”

The voice is crisp and pleasant, with a hint of coldness.

I heard a knight say: "Don't worry, Sanniang, I've seen it all, no one." ”
