Chapter Ninety-Eight: Is Your Yamen Still Recruiting?
Xu Anping drank it by himself with a wine bowl, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Xue, junior brother, I offended Dai Changde today, do you have any advice?" ”
Xue Pingchuan put away his smile and said with a somewhat solemn face: "You really have to be careful during this time. Dai Changde's kid is the least thing, and he is also very vindictive, he can remember big things for years, and there are many ruffians under him. I advise you to avoid him during this time, if you are really blocked by him because of bad luck, you run towards the Chengtianmen Thousand Steps Corridor, and come to Beizhen Fusi to find me. If you give Dai Changde two more dares, he won't dare to come to my north town to Fusi Saye. Then he looked at Xu Anping with interest, and said with a smile: "If Brother Wei's eyes are not blind, I think Brother Xu's martial arts should not be bad." Those few splashes and shabby, you shouldn't pay attention to them. ”
"Alas, even if you are a hero, you can't pass the beauty pass! What's more, the little brother is an ordinary person. Xu Anping picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Xue Pingchuan, and looked to the side with his eyes.
Xue Pingchuan showed a cheap appearance that all men understand, gave Xu Anping a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, my brother is really temperamental!" Just rush this, let's do another one. ”
Xu Anping smiled helplessly, he really wanted to kill Dai Changde with a knife, so as to avoid a series of troubles later, but now the situation does not allow him to act at will. He didn't dare to underestimate the talented people in the capital, if he wasn't careful, he might fall into it, let alone take Deng Xiaoke and them. But there's an opportunity to give it a try. He asked tentatively, "Brother Xue, I don't know if the Espionage Department has been recruiting people recently?" The younger brother is coarse and well-written, quite proficient, and his self-confidence is not weaker than others. ”
Xue Pingchuan was a little surprised on his face, and did not answer immediately. The spy department recruits people very strictly, not that you can get in if you have good kung fu, the most important thing is to have a clean family background and be loyal to your superiors. However, thinking that he has now mixed with hundreds of households, and there is still no capable henchman around him, and he is restricted everywhere in the yamen, this person in front of him can think about it. Thinking of this, he patted his thigh vigorously and said, "Brother Xu wants to join the Espionage Division, which is not easy. But since our brothers are in love, I can go back and help inquire. ”
Xu Anping said happily: "Whether it is successful or not, the little brother will thank you first." He picked up the bowl and dried it down.
"Good! Brother Xu is arrogant, and I won't hide it as a brother. Where is your home, and what is your ancestor's business? Is there a traitor? Don't blame my brother, the Espionage Department is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it never accepts people with unknown origins or dirty family backgrounds, so investigating the background of life is the first process of joining the Espionage Division. ”
Xu Anping pondered for a while and said, "I'm worried about my brother." The younger brother is from Yujia Village, Qingping County, Anlu Prefecture, Shandong, his parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his neighbor's father Yu and Aunt Yu. When I was eight years old, I learned a few hands and kicks from a Taoist priest who was passing by Yujia Village. The father was cautious and had achieved fame for showing talent. ”
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that Brother Xu is still a scholar. Then let's do this today, for my brother, I have to go out to inspect it, so that some blind little thieves don't make trouble under their noses. Xue Pingchuan drank all the wine in the bowl, dropped a piece of broken silver and took seven or eight subordinates away. Then, a miserable scream came from outside the door, "Official, official, don't fight, the little one is Dai Erye's person." "Staring at people under my nose, grandpa, I really don't know how to write dead words, drag me away and beat me hard."
Xu Anping smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, secretly thinking that this person named Xue Pingchuan did not have the slightest appearance of smugness, and he was quite bold and righteous, so he should be worth handing over. After thinking about it, he called Deng Xiaoke and the three of them next to him and prepared to return to the inn.
Xue Pingchuan, who wore a steel knife on his waist and walked on the street with his subordinates, walked rampant on the street like a crab, quite a bit of the taste of the gods. The crowded streets dodged in both directions, and from time to time someone knocked over the roadside stalls because of their hasty evasion, looking like a tiger. Xu Anping had just arrived in the capital, and he didn't know the terrifying reputation of the Spy Intelligence Department, otherwise he might have been more cautious in his speech.
Xue Pingchuan slapped the pickpocket who was pressed by his subordinates and told him to get out, and then instructed one of his subordinates beside him: "Go find someone to touch the bottom of the self-proclaimed Xu Anping just now, I feel that his kung fu should be very high, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems." ”
One of his subordinates nodded yes, and then asked, "Lord Baihu, do you want to send a spy to keep an eye on it?" ”
Xue Pingchuan waved his hand to stop, "No, so as not to be self-defeating." Let's get to the bottom of it first. "He has a rough face, and the first impression is that of a reckless man. In fact, although Xue Pingchuan, who was born in a meritorious family, has a bold and chivalrous personality, he has also been accustomed to all kinds of deceit, intrigue and trickery since he was a child, and his mind is very meticulous. He took the initiative to approach Xu Anping today because he found that the other party should be the first time to come to the capital, and he could make friends by helping him resolve the crisis. Of course, it is very unpleasant to watch Dai Changde bully men and women, and wanting to disgust the other party is also the main reason.
Back at the Rifle Inn, Xu Anping comforted Yi Lian'er, who had been a little nervous for a while. Deng Xiaoke is cheerful by nature and has also experienced this kind of thing, so he threw this matter out of the sky when he left the restaurant. And Huan'er's mind is full of all kinds of snacks, and there is no spare space for this kind of thing. To put it simply, as long as her mouth is not idle, her heart will be very happy; His mouth stopped, and he was thinking about what to buy.
"Lian'er, don't worry, just leave everything to Deng Jiu. He's a big man, and he's supposed to protect us. Deng Xiaoke said as a matter of course.
"yes, yes! Sister Lian'er, you taste this plum, it's delicious. I didn't eat it when I was in Qingping County, but it's better in Beijing. Huan'er handed a plum to Lian'er's mouth, but clenched the paper bag tightly as if she was afraid of being snatched away by others.
Seeing that Yi Lian'er finally put his heart at ease, Xu Anping breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing just after arriving in the capital. Any person is the son of Hou Ye, which is really speechless.
Huan'er suddenly remembered something, chewing the words in her mouth and said, "Uncle, when did you get so good at kung fu?" Last time you went to save the eldest lady during the Lantern Festival, you scared me to death at that time. ”
Yi Lian'er also looked puzzled, she never knew that her brother Anping knew kung fu. And Deng Xiaoke, who was sitting next to her, looked unconcerned, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a touch of tenderness hidden in her eyes.
"Hey, don't mention it. In the winter when I was eight years old, I rescued a Taoist priest who was passing through Yujia Village, and he taught me a few kung fu techniques to strengthen my body. In fact, it's all showmanship, and it's almost the same to deceive laymen. If it weren't for an official to stop us today, it would have been difficult for us to leave. ”
Speaking of this, several people remembered today's danger, so they decided not to go out for the next few days, so as not to bump into the gentleman again.
The next day, Xu Anping specially confessed to Deng Xiaoke, after all, she has never been idle, and then went out to the tooth store to find a house.
