In Huifeng Building, Han Gang thought that in addition to Wang Hou, there were only a few familiar friends such as Wang Shunchen and Zhao Long. The usual ten-mile send-off, it is only time for him to set off tomorrow, when Wang Shao and Wu Yan may be present, and today, it should be Wang Hou who finds an excuse to drink.

He didn't think wrong, Wang Sunchen followed, Li Xin also arrived, and Yang Ying-Wang Shao brought from De'an to the township, and he was also the closest confidant--also arrived, even Zhao Long also resigned from Wang Shao and hurried to the banquet, and several familiar companions did come to serve Han Gang.

But he was wrong, and he didn't drink the candied wine hosted by Wang Hou. As soon as he walked up to the third floor of Huifeng Building, a guest sitting at a table with the best position sent a servant to greet Han Gang.

Looking up, Wang Hou and Han Gang were both taken aback. Although it is a very unfamiliar appearance of Han Gang, he has never dealt with it. But Han Gang knew who he was, and Wang Hou also knew who he was.

Qin Fenglu walked and endured - Liu Xizao.

A eunuch.

Eunuchs who came from the palace, were not allowed to make friends with local officials according to the rules, and held the post of walking horses, for some reason did not participate in the spring banquet after whipping the ox, but they were on the Huifeng Building, and they also sent someone to greet Han Gang.

"But Han Yukun?" Liu Xixiao greeted from afar.

Han Gang hesitated slightly, then took the initiative to step forward and saluted Liu Xizao: "Han Gang has seen Liu Zouma. ”

Liu Xizao got up and returned the half-salute, and said with a smile: "I have heard of Han Yukun's name for a long time, but I always miss it. I can see it today, and there is no false person in the world. ”

Probably thinking that it was the first time Han Gang had seen the eunuch with his own eyes, Wang Hou looked at Han Gang's expression a little nervously. He knew that no one would have any good impression of the eunuch, for fear that Han Gang would behave rudely when they met. But Han Gang's honest and dutiful salute made Wang Hou breathe a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.

Unlike Wang Hou's conjecture, Han Gang did not discriminate against eunuchs, but he was only missing two taels of meat. As long as he doesn't have less under himself, he doesn't care if others have that two taels of meat. Han Gang will not mix history with novels, and he knows very well that the eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty will not have sunflower treasure books, nor will they have swordsmanship to ward off evil. It's just that although the idea is very unrealistic, he is still looking forward to seeing a father-in-law who can say the line 'Ask for a holy decree, come to someone, let's write a picture for him'.

But the eunuch Liu Xizao, who appeared in front of Han Gang, did not have the imaginary yin and yang weirdness, and stood in the crowd as an ordinary man, just without a beard. His voice is slightly high-pitched, but among the able-bodied men, there is not no one with a voice that is as sharp as a woman. If he hadn't introduced him openly, Han Gang wouldn't have been able to find out that he was different from ordinary people at the first time.

Walking the horse to bear, the full name is 'Zhulu Jingluo appeases the general manager of the division to bear the horse and volume business', such a long name, it is inconvenient to write, and it is even more rappy to say, generally referred to as the horse bear, or directly called the horse, just like Han Gang's Jinglu pacification of the division of the management of the official business abbreviation of the Fu Gou.

Liu Xizao took Han Gang's hand and walked to his table, looking very affectionate, "Yukun is really a great sage, Liu Mou of Gangu Sanatorium has just been to it recently, and there are many injuries and illnesses in it, but you are full of praise for Yukun, thank you." ”

"It's a big deal. Han Gang just happened to be at the right time. Han Gang was a little puzzled by Liu Xizao's overture, and when he was held by the eunuch, goosebumps rose. It's just that he disguised it very well, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Liu Xizao smiled heartily: "At the right time, you can help the soldiers of a city to relieve their worries, and when Yukun really leads the dispatch of the injured and sick, how many soldiers will be afraid of the enemy like a tiger in the villages on the road?" In the future, when the western thieves invade Qinzhou again, Yukun's contribution is indispensable. Come on, come on, tomorrow Yukun you will go to Beijing, while you are still in Qinzhou today, Liu Mouquan and a glass of water and wine will help the line. ”

Qin Feng walked and pulled Han Gang to sit down at his table, and beckoned Wang Hou to come over. Wang Sunchen and the other three were not in a good position, so they sat at a table next to them and were entertained by Liu Xizao's companion.

Liu Xixiao has a special status in Qin Feng, everyone respects him for three points, even Li Shizhong doesn't want to offend him, and Huifeng Building is an official property, Liu Zouma wants to have a treat, who dares to treat him slowly?

In a few moments, two tables were filled with wine and delicacies, and after a while, two of the top courtesans in Huifeng Lou also walked up—Huifeng Lou is the largest government-run hotel in Qinzhou, and the courtesans in it were also carefully selected by the teaching department—and the jade hand gently twisted the pipa slowly, and then sang at the table. Although it is the most commonly heard Liu Yongci, it is not a song like "cold cicada poignant, late to the long pavilion, the first break of the shower", but "change Shaojing, Dumen twelve, Lantern Festival three or five, silver toad light full", singing the Lantern Festival scenery in Tokyo, just Han Gang entered Beijing during the New Year's Festival, that is, the time, and the matter, to take a good intention.

What did he want to do? Wang Hou's face was full of questions, and in today's Qinzhou officialdom, Wang Shao is not welcome. And Han Gang, as the most powerful mastermind under Wang Shao, is of course a treat. Now Liu Xizao invited Han Gang to a banquet, making it clear that he wanted to help Wang Shao. Why is he doing this?

Wang Hou's doubts Liu Xizheng saw it in his eyes, but the smile on Han Gang's face was not the slightest bit unusual. But with Han Gang's intelligence, he wouldn't be able to see the significance of the banquet that the horse had to bear in Qin Feng's officialdom? I'm afraid I've seen it through. Since then, Liu Xizao has sincerely sighed in his heart: "It is indeed worthy of its name." ’

Liu Xizao's task is to be the 'eyes and ears' of the Son of Heaven in Qin Feng, and to do the duty of inspector. He was responsible for supervising Qin Feng's civil and military officials, and had the right to hear about the news [Note 1].

However, it is not necessary to report it regardless of the big and small things, and there is also a choice. Like the fall of the Chen family, the battle in Pei Canyon, and Han Gang's contribution to the Western thieves and spies, they will all report to the court. And the conflict between Han Gang and Xiang Bao's slave in Fuqiang City will not be reported - first, because Xiang An handled it well afterwards, and second, Liu Xizheng did not feel that it was necessary to offend Xiang Bao for such a trivial matter.

Judging from the assignments they accepted, they were only concurrently serving as intelligence gathering officers on surveillance missions, and they would not and should not be biased towards any local bureaucrat, let alone have factional tendencies. Even if you inspect the walled forts, you are not allowed to accept the banquets of the lords of the walled forts.

But people have a position, and the connection between the horse bearing and the Son of Heaven is not one-way, and the mind of the Son of Heaven will sometimes be conveyed through the horse bearing. Wang Shao was personally pulled out by Zhao Ji and put into Qin Feng. Supporting his actions will also be praised by the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, Liu Xizao also has the intention of making contributions. So he will talk to Han Gang - if he goes directly to Wang Shao, it will be to make friends with local officials. But Han Gang is a newcomer who is about to take office, so let's take a look first, and sit down together by the way to understand his personality and talent and ability, even if the lawsuit is in front of the Son of Heaven, it can't be said that he is at fault.

It is impossible for Han Gang to see through all of Liu Xizao's calculations, but the significance of Liu Xizao's banquet as his representative, as well as the changes in officialdom that may be triggered, can always be inferred. This is a send-off in the snow.........

This eunuch really helped a lot, and Han Gang raised his glass to Liu Xizao. And Han Gang's toast made Wang Hou feel at ease, "It doesn't seem to be a bad thing for adults." As soon as the mood was relaxed, the singing voice that was originally deaf to the ear was also clear in the ears.

The two pillars of Huifeng Building are less than twenty beauties, who have been taught in the teaching department since childhood, with a strong pipa and melodious singing voice, and a complete range of colors and arts. Wang Sunchen and the others from the table were already fascinated by the sound and color, and they were fascinated by it, and Wang Hou's family education was strict, and he only peeked twice, and then he didn't dare to look at it again. Only Han Gang, he and Liu Xizao pushed the cup to change the lamp, talked and laughed, and didn't pay attention to the performance of the two courtesans at all, and his eyes were only regarded as mountains and rocks, and he didn't even move his eyelids.

Kick and kick, and there was another sound of stairs.

"I said, where did the two pillars of Huifeng Building go? It turned out to be singing music here. With a somewhat contrived voice, seven or eight people came up from downstairs. The first was a young man with oily hair and a powdery face, with white skin and bright red lips.

Han Gang's eyelids finally jumped, Liu Xizao, a eunuch without a bottom, still looks like a normal man, but the one in front of him is an out-and-out shemale. I don't know where it is the custom for men to apply grease and powder, at least Han Gang has never seen it in Qin Feng.

Liu Xizao stood up. Han Gang paused for a moment and stood up as well. can make Qin Feng get up and greet him, and the person who comes must have an official status. But it seems that the appearance of a person is not a serious official, but should be a shadow supplement.

'Which one of the Dou family is it?' ’

Li Shizhong's family situation, Han Gang is already clear, there is no such goods. And in Qinzhou City, there are officials who are qualified to make up for their descendants, except for Li Shizhong, there is only Dou Shunqing. Han Gang was thinking about it, and Liu Xizheng had already given him the answer: "It turned out to be Dou Qiyanei." ”

"Dou Jie." Wang Hou whispered in Han Gang's ear. He has always inquired about the news in Qinzhou officialdom clearly, "Dou Shunqing's grandson is from the long house, and he ranks seventh in the family." But Dou Shunqing's first six grandsons all died young, so counting it, he is still the grandson of the long house, and he has made up for the right attendant of the ninth grade. ”

When Wang Hou said that Yin Bu snorted, he snorted inadvertently, his voice was very soft, but when it fell on Han Gang's ears, he couldn't help but smile.

Of course, Wang Hou didn't like the word yinbu, because he was not Wang Shao's eldest son. Wang Shao can recommend Han Gang, but he can't recommend his son, and Wang Hou is not a material for reading, so under normal circumstances, he must wait for Yin to become an official. However, in terms of the rank of shade, Wang Hou is lower than his eldest brother Wang Kuo. The descendants of the descendants are the eldest sons and the eldest grandchildren. Although Wang Kuo is leisurely in his hometown, while Wang Hou is in the northwest border, the rules are the rules, and the etiquette and law are often not violated, and Wang Hou can only wait for another opportunity.

Note 1: Friends who have seen the Water Margin know that the flower monk Lu Zhishen did the Kansai Five Road Cheap Visiting Envoy before becoming a monk. The so-called incorruptible envoy is actually a horse to bear, but he changed his name when he was in Huizong.

ps: The first eunuch appeared - although the eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty did not refer to eunuchs. Tuobian Hehuang, eunuchs appear a lot, the most famous is Tong Guan.
