Guangfu Zuocheng, Qingdefang, Mupingli Rear Compartment, Sanhezi Street, various restaurants and tea shops have just ushered in sparse return of people after the light afternoon.

"Old ......"

"Come to the bitter bean drink, add more stone honey and milk"

With the greeting in the teahouse, Murong Wu, a personal official of the Wude Division, who was wearing a cloth casual clothes, was enjoying the afternoon refreshments of five meals a day in the daily life of the middle and low-level bureaucrats in Guangfu, also known as "uneaten."

This bitter bean drinking method is still derived from the ancestors of the Western Xia and Liang dynasties, under the name of Liang Gong, Liang Gong was chosen by heaven, in the wilderness of Siyi and Nine Sides, many exotic species were found, and the high-yield and barren-tolerant seeds such as melons, potatoes, beans, and rice were vigorously promoted, and Anji was left for hundreds of generations.

This kind of bitter beans that can improve the awakening of the brain is one of them, and even the drinking method of baking, grinding, boiling, and filtering soup is also handed down by Liang Gong himself.

Compared with the sweet and warm aftertaste of the tea ceremony, those officials and wealthy people who are accustomed to reversing day and night prefer this kind of bitter drink, which can quickly make people feel refreshed.

With the piping hot bitter bean drink, the wooden cart also brought a variety of dim sum and pastry soups that were steamed in the oven to keep warm.

Packed in a small wooden sarong drawer, yellow and white tea cakes, pale red sweet cakes, crystal meat with chrysanthemum petal patterns, and thin-skinned crab roe soup balls.

Murong Wu is a descendant of the so-called two Murongs from the retainers of the northern and southern lines of the Duke of Liang. It can also be regarded as the surname of Nanhai Wang, who followed the command of Duke Liang and conquered the children of the Murong clan outside the territory, in fact, there are two branches

One of them came from the Kaiyuan period, the descendants of the Tuyuhun royal family in Qinghai who were destroyed by Tubo, known as Northern Murong or Tuyuhun Murong, one of the women became the concubine of the Duke of Liang, and left a special branch in the Western Regions, and now it is also one of the well-known Wang family names among the old noble families of the Western Xia court.

The other is from Gusu County in Jiangdong Province, which belongs to the remnants of the Sanyan Murong who were defeated by Liu Yu, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, also known as Nan Murong or Yan Murong, in the Qianyuan period, defected to the Nanhai Governor's Mansion and became one of the members of the Great Westward Movement of the Sea and Land.

They are also the ancestors of the branch of Murong Wu, and the Dingding Guangfu of the Southern Dynasty began to multiply so far, and there have been more than 100 years and several generations, which can be regarded as a small eunuch, and there are three generations of people who have served in the Wude Division.

Murong Wu's subordinate personnel under the command of the Wude Division are actually divided into two parts, one part is called the personal servant officer, according to the honor guard establishment of the classes in front of the palace, responsible for the patrol guards of the upper city and the old city, the provincial Taibu temple supervision and other hundred officials and guards, and it is also the usual Xun, Ling, and Ce Sanwei children, where they are sent and mixed;

The other part is called the family affairs official, also commonly known as the chazi, or the sound official, these people are responsible for the Guangfu and even all over the country, down to the people's houses, flower streets, willow lanes, up to the ministers, and the wealthy high-ranking families, to listen to the big and small

Compared with the division of labor and responsibilities of the several major administrative and supervision departments under the name of the Southern Dynasty, although Wu Deji was the lowest, he was directly responsible for the shogunate's governance, and his main scope of authority was more limited to Guangfu and Kinai.

However, the functions are relatively complex, not only the task of monitoring the armies and visiting officials, but also the effect of detecting public opinion and preventing treachery and enemy assassination

There are thousands of people who serve as deacons all year round, and there are countless people who are not in the periphery of their names, and there are countless people who are running, inquiring, sitting and informing.

Murong Wu is one of the links, and there are more than a dozen small relatives with knives under his command, miscellaneous relatives, as well as the number of fast and long lines under their respective subordinates.

The authentic local snake and the capital of three generations of public business, so that it is enough to rely on this identity to mix like a fish in water.

Although the official rank is only the first to enter the stream, the courtesy and attention he actually receives, as well as the level and enjoyment of daily life, are beyond the reach of even ordinary six- and seven-grade Beijing officials.

After all, these inspectors, who are secretly called "jackals", as one of the eyes and ears of the superiors who spread to the people in the market, have the authority and convenience to make most people quite troubled and troubled.

It's just that this Qingyuan mutiny, the rebellious army went straight to Guangfu, and for them, the Wu De Division, who was in charge of the assassination and supervision of Jin, it was a catastrophe.

Whether it is the Privy Council's military department, or the staff department of the military department, or the military supervision department of the general chapter counselor's office, or the constitutional office of the Weiwei Temple, other families can at most be jointly and severally liable for such heavy responsibilities as corpse meals, negligence, and dereliction of duty.

Moreover, these departments also have enough superior background and historical background to avoid being themselves.

However, for Wu Desi, who is the last in rank and status, and also has enviable relevant powers, it is undoubtedly the most suitable to become a victim and scapegoat for the encroachment of power.

In this top-down storm, a large number of upper echelons, including the general leader of the Wu De Division, the leader, the experience, the manager, the assistant, etc., have been removed one after another.

That is, the middle and lower-level personnel like Murong Wu who are rooted in the bottom have to temporarily protect most of their old duties, after all, they still have to be counted on to live, but there are also some rumors, because there are even rumors from the upper echelons that they want to abolish the Wude Division and set up another rumor that they are good at efficient belonging.

So in this atmosphere, Murong Wu had no choice but to not even dare to go back, and hid outside to "work diligently" to avoid the limelight temporarily.

This place has also temporarily become a place for him to deal with personal affairs, even if this position may not be done for long in the future, but some things must be dealt with well, otherwise they have been contaminated with too many low-level people who are not in the pure and gray realm, and the consequences and consequences of losing their protection and power are even stricter than ordinary people.

Therefore, he was always surrounded by several companions who carried a money box containing large bills and account books. If the position is gone, you may be able to buy another one, but if it is not handled properly and makes some people feel uneasy, then there is no chance to start all over again.

No one cares, there will be an extra place for a small person like him in the list of Wu Desi's prisons.

The long-term habit has allowed him to develop the ability to give orders and handle affairs to several subordinates while tasting refreshments, but at the moment he can't help but be a little ignorant.

"Inner Prison Supervisor, the message from the ......"

"Go back and send me a voucher for 500 yuan...... If you want to pay for the ticket without being named"

"Verbal thanks from the Inspectorate? , this favor is really cheap......"

"The next time I see them, I can hide and dodge, and I can push as much as I can......"

"Someone from the city? , sue them, there is no 1,000 big gold dollars, and they can't be dotted ......"

"The matter of the eldest prince of the Luo Domain? ……”

He stopped, wiping his mouth.

"What price did they give you this time......

The person who came gave an approximate number

"It's really reluctant......"

"But this matter is not easy to do......"

"What you don't understand can't understand ......"

"For the sake of the money and the good dealings, I can send them another message......

"The files of the eldest prince who arrived in Guangfu, as well as the various records left in the official mansion, were all taken away by Sihaiwei......

"If they have the ability, they can go to Sihaiwei to ask for it......"

"I'm a bit powerful, but I still know my weight."

"I will never touch this matter......"

"Go back and send a name card to that eldest prince Luo......"

"Leave one more line, maybe there will be a time to ask for others......"

In the market, there was a sudden loud shout, and then there was a complete chaos, turning into a crowd of people running away from the streets.

Murong Wu couldn't help but poke his head out of the railing, but the tall buildings in the distance were emitting smoke and fire. That's three streets away, in the direction of the famous Baoquan Street

Murong Wu thought with some surprise, and then turned into some kind of sweaty possibility and speculation.

"This ...... Just came in? ”

Shen Lei looked at the bustling street scene as if he was in a different world, and his stiff and sore body trembled slightly

As for the pedestrians and ladies who cast disgust and dissatisfaction on him covered in stench and stains, he could not help but ignore them.

More than half a month ago, he was still a simple soldier who would blush when he saw a woman, and he had been to the farthest and most prosperous place in his life, that is, Qingyuan City.

Then he is now a most determined anti-thief leader with a lot of lives in his hands, and he is just a member of the group who infiltrated the city to cause chaos in order to open the city with a large army.

It's just that he never thought that Guangfu, which was known as a heavy army and heavily protected, and the high walls of the inner and outer cities were stacked in a row, would come in so lightly.

With only a few small gold objects, the patrolmen along the city wall, ignoring them, went in one by one with ropes and hanging baskets from the low parts of the city wall.

The whole process is like a dream.

Then, like a drop of water merging into a big river, the large number of foreign refugees gathered in the city and the shacks where they were stored became their best cover.

They even used local materials overnight to make a batch of tools and weapons.

Of course, no matter how many people there are, in fact, there are more than 20 teams of people who came out of this batch, and only about half of them can enter Guangfu in the end.

However, this is enough for them to leave an unforgettable memory and a painful lesson to this city of flowers and the city that never sleeps, which has not heard of soldiers for hundreds of years

Suddenly, a copper yuan was thrown in front of him, interrupting his memories, but he was treated as a beggar.

"Ugly flower, give me this baby, call a daddy to listen......"

A rich man with a long-haired cockroach dog in his arms, hugged his friend, and laughed loudly

You're killing yourself, and he lunged forward, wielding his shiny carpentry axe

turned the other party's condescending lust and contempt into the shock and fear that the door of the brain was split, and the woman next to her screamed like a distraction, and then he was also cut in the back with an axe, and she couldn't live

"Murdered ......"

Only then did the people around react, like an anthill scalded by boiling water, pulling out ripples that constantly reverberated one after another

"Qingyuan soldiers, come to ask for justice"

With the sound of his shouting,

"On the side of the Qing monarch, hoe and rape...... Righteous Soldiers"

"Killing corrupt officials does not hurt innocent ......"

The echoes and voices of response and harmony turned this bustling street market into a sea of chaos and panic

I soon received the first batch of gifts from Chen Zihe, a group of people who were tied to the boat by the five flowers and drifted over, and it almost didn't say on their faces that I was a scumbag guy.

They are all felons released from the large and small prisons in Chen Zihe's occupied area, of course, those who really have bloody cases and human lives are all used by Chen Zihe for other purposes.

The rest of these are purely some alternative felons, there are professional fraudsters, there are those who are good at forging bills, there are those who claim to be all-encompassing, and now there is only one hand left, the former snitch who is good at playing drama (magic), and even an old Taoist priest who cheated money and sex with Lian Jindan, and finally took bait and medicine to kill people,

They are all "craftsmen" who are proficient in relevant gray area skills. That's what I'm asking for, too.

First, they will be starved there for a day, and then one person will feed them a "chronic poison pill" and tell them that they need to take the antidote regularly, otherwise they will have their intestines rotten, their skin will fall off, and they will become monsters who are not human ghosts, nor ghosts, and cannot survive but die.

Then a big dog was used to make a return to the scene, so they were all honest.

Of course, the so-called poison pill is actually a catharsis agent of croton rhubarb and manganese, and then add a little bit of mandala flower to the slight anesthetic component. And the dog also slaughtered the caustic agent in advance, poured acid and alkali in the stomach, and then pulled it in front of them, and it took almost time for the chemicals to attack

Next, they expressed their loyalty and gratitude to me, especially for giving them the opportunity to start their lives again and start again, and they were willing to devote the rest of their lives and abilities to the lofty ideals and undertakings of liberating all mankind
