On the first day of August, the smell of autumn is getting stronger and stronger. Xu Anping, who was promoted to the general banner of the Fusi Division of Beizhen, wore a new official uniform and led seven or eight of his subordinates to patrol Chengxian Street, nodding at the shopkeeper who nodded his head from time to time. Because Wu San'er, who was originally in charge of the affairs of Chengxian Street, was no longer there, he took over naturally. An obvious advantage is that wherever he lands on Chengxian Street, he will not attract the attention of others. Several of the people under his command are all a little arrogant, and they feel a little arrogant.

"Hey, hey! Mr. Xu, if you come to the store to sit down for a while, it can be regarded as letting the store touch your joy. A shopkeeper nodded and said.

Xu Anping waved his hand and said, "Next time, the official will go elsewhere today." Well, I heard that you have a lot of good sake in your shop, so next time I will definitely bring someone to try it. When the time comes, don't hide the shopkeeper Wu! ”

"That's for sure. Xu Zongqi can come at any time, and the small ones will be served with good wine. Xu Zongqi is the protector of Xiao Lao'er's shop, and no one can lose you if you lose it! ”

"Okay, let's be in a few days." Xu Anping declined the shopkeeper's invitation and continued to patrol Chengxian Street with a group of people. After half an hour, they went through the whole street from beginning to end, and found not a single thorn in the head. In fact, those gangsters are the most vigilant, otherwise they would have been buried a long time ago, how can they still gain a foothold. After Xu Anping let his subordinates move freely, he staggered into an alley, and when he came out, he became another middle-aged man, and then entered the Datong Hall to find an inconspicuous place to sit down. At this time, Xiao Er immediately came over to greet him.

A dumb shop junior hurriedly ran over, pointed his finger at his mouth, and pointed at Xu Anping again.

Xu Anping ordered: "Give me a pot of good tea." ”

After a while, the dumb shop Xiao Er came over with a pot of tea. Xu Anping said in a low voice: "Alas, I have been in the capital for a while, and I have not met a single old man from Shandong. ”

The pupils of the dumb shop shrank, and the smile on his face became more obvious, and then he put down the tea and left in a hurry. After a while, he came over with a plate of peanuts and fennel beans, put it down and left.

After Xu Anping ate a few peanuts, he lifted the plate slightly, and sure enough, he saw a paper ball underneath. With a shrunk of his fingers, he tucked the paper ball into his sleeve and continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened. After a quarter of an hour, he left the Datong Hall and came to a hidden alley. When I opened the paper ball, it was written: Pay close attention to King Jing's movements. Xu Anping frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. When he came to the capital, he also heard a lot of acquaintances around him, and King Jing, as the only brother of the emperor today, has the most respected status. Even if you already have your own fiefdom, you can still stay in the capital for more than a year, and the degree of favor can be seen. Even with his current status in Beizhen Fusi, he can't get in touch with King Jing, let alone pay attention to King Jing's dynamics. Of course, it can also be seen from here that King Jing's actions should have attracted the attention of the court officials.

As soon as Xu Anping left the hall, Xiao Er of the dumb shop immediately came over to pack his things. Walking to the place where no one was around, he tucked another ball of paper under the plate into his sleeve.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly shouted, "Dumb, what are you doing?" ”

The dumb shop Xiao Er was frightened, his muscles tightened, and he waved his hand again and again to say something, and he didn't know what he wanted to express.

"Alright, let's go and clean up those tables. What a mess, what it looks like! If you're lazy, you'll lose your salary this month. The shopkeeper didn't bother to think about what he was talking about, and said very impatiently.

The dumb shop Xiao Er hurriedly went to clean up the other tables, secretly relieved.

It was night, and in the backyard of the Imperial History Mansion of the Right Servant, the lights were still on in the study. Sun Yongcheng was writing a notebook when there was a knock on the study door. Still writing something, he said distractedly, "Come in." ”

Xiao Er of the dumb shop flashed into the study and respectfully handed the paper ball to Sun Yongcheng.

Sun Yongcheng didn't open it, but asked casually, "Are the family okay?" Last time, your brother committed a crime at home, and the official greeted the county order, so there should be no problem. ”

The dumb shop Xiao Er knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, raised his head and was already blue on his forehead, and his face was full of tears.

"Alright, you go first. It's all in the past, don't take it to heart. Sun Yongcheng waved his hand and motioned for the dumb shop to go down.

The dumb shop Xiao Er kowtowed a few more times, and then turned around and closed the door to leave.

After he left, Sun Yongcheng opened the paper ball. When he saw the content, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he saw that it was written: Yushi Li Qi once went to King Jing's Courtyard and left after half an hour. He tapped his finger on the table and said to himself, "Alas, it seems that things are getting more and more troublesome." King Jing stayed in the capital as a vassal king and refused to leave, and privately communicated with the ministers of the court, which is definitely not simple behind the scenes. It seems that the attack on King Jing in the court a few days ago was not untargeted! I don't know if Ye Xiangye's assassination this time has anything to do with him. Thinking of this, he was shocked, and suddenly the cold sweat on his body broke out. Because this also involves another question: "What does King Jing want to do when he stays in the capital?" He sighed and lit a fire to burn the paper balls. In any case, with his current status, there is no way to participate, and even if he does, he will only be a cannon fodder role. "But the ambition of the Vision King is still smaller, otherwise it will be a bloody storm."

After a while, Sun Yongcheng finished writing the recital, blew out the candle and went back to his room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Anping came to Beizhen Fusi Yamen Yingmao. A few small flags watched coldly, and no one came to say hello, only their own subordinates came over. A senior Xiaoqi said in a weird manner: "Roar! Xu Zongqi's new official has taken office, and he has begun to look at no elders. Brother He, do you think that we old guys should move out of their positions as soon as possible, so that Xu Zongqi can arrange some of his cronies? ”

"Brother Cai is very right! We're all an eyesore now, and we should have taken the initiative to get out of here, so it's not annoying. I just don't know if Xu Zongqi will be open and leave us an open mouth to eat. ”

When Xu Anping heard them say this, he knew that they were deliberately finding fault, and he didn't bother to deal with it. With his current status, no matter what he says, he will leave a handle, so it is better not to say it.

At this time, Xue Pingchuan came, and the people below were suddenly silent. "Why are you so honest today? Wasn't it quite enough to say yesterday? ”

A few small flags said: "Hundred households are wise! They are all subordinates who are short-sighted and do not understand the good intentions of adults. ”

"If only you knew." Xue Pingchuan crossed his waist and laughed, completely ignoring the somewhat blue faces of several small flags. He just wants these people not to dare to make trouble. Whether you are convinced or not, as long as you are obedient.
