Liu Shouyou's strategy of divisiveness and differentiation naturally did not play a role in Yang Zhen's body, but it was still not in vain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At least when Yang Zhen walked out of the hall, Deng Ting and several others, who had been waiting outside for a while, were looking at him with suspicion. He did talk to Liu Shouyou in the hall for a long time, which inevitably made people suspicious, and I don't know what he revealed.

But even if Deng Ting is direct, he still won't say it directly in this matter, but Tang Feng, as Yang Zhen's boss, can still ask: "How is it?" Liu Dudu didn't embarrass you, did he? ”

Yang Zhen smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, he wants to promote me to his side on an errand." However, I politely declined, so my arrangement should be the same. ”

"Oh? Erlang, you actually rejected Liu Dudu's kindness? Then he wasn't angry? Deng Ting couldn't hold back after all and asked.

"After all, his identity is there, how can he be as knowledgeable as a small hundred households like me?" Yang Zhen said without being arrogant or humble.

"Hey, little Baihu ......" Even Ma Feng was a little uncomfortable now, and muttered in a low voice. The small hundred households in Yang Zhen's mouth are the positions they have always aspired to, but even if they have come to the capital now, they are still just a general banner. To say that they are not envious, or even a little jealous of Yang Zhen, that is false.

Tang Feng saw that there was something wrong with the attitude of the two, so he hurriedly coughed lightly, gave them a look, and stopped them from continuing to complain in front of Yang Zhen. Then he said, "That's good." A few of them have already got errands in Shi Zhenfu, but they have separated and gone to all parts of the capital, so you can also go to Shi Zhenfu to have a look. It seems that this time, they are determined to divide us. ”

Yang Zhen could naturally clearly feel the attitude of these people towards him. In fact, since he was promoted to one hundred households in Hangzhou, surpassing Deng Ting's status, these people's attitudes towards him are a little different, and sometimes they speak in a way that is not yin and yang. He also understood that these old men in brocade must have an opinion on their rapid promotion, and everything was caused by jealousy.

But Yang Zhen didn't take their jealousy too seriously, on the one hand, his ambition was not only here, on the other hand, maybe it was also because Yang Zhen's heart actually didn't completely treat Deng Ting and them as brothers. After all, his friendship with these people is just a mutual use, and he really doesn't have too deep feelings.

But for Tang Feng, Yang Zhen still has some respect. A person who can challenge a powerful top boss for his old boss is obviously a person who values great feelings. Seeing Tang Feng say this, he frowned and said, "It's really a bit difficult to do this. But at this point, we can only accept it. I'm going to Shizhenfu now. ”

When Shi Tao saw Yang Zhen coming in, he obviously hesitated. He knew that Liu Shou had a mind, and thought that Yang Zhen would definitely not refuse such a promotion, and he didn't want the other party to be really different. But then, he returned to normal and said with a smile: "Yang Baihu, but the governor asked you to come to me to arrange your position?" ”

"Exactly, everything still needs to be calmed by Lao Shi." Yang Zhen hugged his fists.

"Well, then let me see where else I can ask you to be this hundred." Shi Tao said, picked up a thick roster, and looked through it carefully.

Before he could make a decision, an attendant came to the door, clasped his fists at Shi Tao and said, "Lord Zhenfu, my subordinates have something to report." ”

"Huh?" Shi Tao glanced up at the man, and a look of doubt appeared on his face, but he still stood up, walked outside the door, and talked to the man in a whisper.

After a few words, Shi Tao turned around and came back, glanced at Yang Zhen thoughtfully, and then flipped through the roster, and then said: "The other places are full, but in the area of Qipan Street, there is a shortage of a leading hundred households, and there are Lao Yang hundred households, you can go there." ”

Yang Zhen had an unpredictable smile on his face, and nodded: "Yes, the lower officials will definitely do their best to do their best to do the errand well." ”

"That's for the best." Shi Tao glanced at him meaningfully, and waved his hand to tell him to step back.

Shi Tao didn't know that Yang Zhen had heard all the whispered words he had with the entourage just now, after practicing the Qingfeng Technique for so long, Yang Zhen's six senses were far better than they were at the beginning, even if they spoke carefully, they could still be heard clearly by Yang Zhen within a distance of less than a few feet.

The entourage was ordered by Liu Shouyou to convey his meaning to Shi Tao, saying that he wanted to hand over the most difficult errand to Yang Zhen, so as to force this young man to bow to Liu Dudu and subdue him. Judging from these words alone, Yang Zhen could be sure that the chessboard street he was going to was definitely not a good place to go.

But even so, he didn't worry too much, after all, so many storms had come before, would he still be afraid of this difficulty? Even if there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Beijing, he has enough confidence to deal with them one by one.

And this inference was quickly confirmed from Qian Sizhong's mouth. When Yang Zhen told everyone that he was going to Qipan Street to manage that area, Qian Sizhong frowned worriedly: "Yang Zhen, you have to be careful, it's not easy to manage there." ”

"Oh? But why? ”

"It's one of the busiest streets in the capital, but at the same time, it's also the place where the most accidents happen. Some bold and hard-backed bastards or ruffians are always there to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and if one is not careful, he will offend any powerful person. This year, there are already three hundred households folded on the chessboard street, so until today this position is vacant, and no one dares to take over. Qian Sizhong introduced. He did mix quite well in the capital, and he even knew this kind of thing so clearly.

"Is there such a thing as that?" Yang Zhen didn't see the slightest surprise and nervousness, but smiled very calmly: "I'm worried that it's not interesting to come to the capital, being able to manage such an eventful street can relieve me of boring time." ”

"You...... Ahem, you don't know what's going on there. When you suffer, you will know how arrogant you are now. Seeing Yang Zhen behaving like this, Qian Sizhong had to smile bitterly and said nothing more.

It was Tang Feng who patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I envy Erlang that you can be an errand there." I'm just afraid that I'm going to be left idle, and I just want some trouble to find me, but I can't get it. ”

Seeing him talk like this, the brothers had to turn around and comfort him. Everyone knows that Tang Feng, who is in charge of a thousand households, must be on the cold bench next, and he is afraid that he has nothing to do. But even if everyone has more dissatisfaction, they can only endure it at this time.

After a short rest, three days later, Yang Zhen and the others received a definite order from the Zhenfu Division, asking them to go to their posts immediately. In this way, it is impossible for everyone to continue to stay in the house prepared by Qian Sizhong, after all, the city of Beijing is so big, and they have to work in various places in the southeast, northwest and north, so it is naturally impossible to return to this residence every day.

So, everyone had to go their separate ways, and each of them found a place to live in the area under his control. However, Tang Feng, who was idle and in charge of thousands of households, because he had to go to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division every day, could stay in the house, and with him, there was also Qian Sizhong, who was on an errand around here. As for whether this result was deliberately arranged by Liu Shouyou, it is unknown.

After separating from everyone, Yang Zhen was led by a person from the Pacification Division to the area of Qipan Street, which was located not far from the Forbidden City. Looking at the bustling crowd here and the rows of shops, Yang Zhen was convinced that what Qian Sizhong said was true, and it was indeed lively here.

"Yang Baihu, there are now seventy-six shops on this chessboard street, and there are some other small stalls, and there are no less than one hundred and twenty merchants in total. These are all taxes to the imperial court, so you have a responsibility to ensure that they operate safely. Chen Xiao, the brocade guard who accompanied him, walked while introducing the situation here and Yang Zhen's responsibilities to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen nodded: "What about taxes?" You don't need to bother us with this, right? At the same time, I thought unconsciously in my heart, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is more suitable for the development of the small commodity industry, not to mention in Beijing in the future, that is, in other small counties, this kind of small vendors are the target of the city management.

"That's not necessary, the collection of taxes is done by the people of Shuntianfu." As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Zhen with a relaxed face again, and kindly reminded: "This place is mixed with dragons and snakes, but it's not easy to manage, Yang Baihu, you'd better be mentally prepared." ”

"This is in the next province, thank you for your suggestion." Yang Zhen clasped his fists at him and smiled.

While talking, the two had turned into an alley, and after walking for a while, Chen Xiao stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated courtyard: "This is your hundred households." ”

"Ah......" Yang Zhen looked surprised, looking at this small courtyard that was even more dilapidated and cramped than his hometown in Jiangling, and asked in disbelief: "This is just a hundred households?" "Whether it is Wuchang or Hangzhou, the Jinyiwei strongholds he has seen are all a little magnificent, and a broken yard like the one in front of him looks like the helmsman of the beggar gang.

Chen Lin nodded solemnly: "Not bad." After all, the capital is different from other provinces, there are many people and few houses, so it is not easy for us to get such a yard as a hundred households on Qipan Street. As he spoke, he stepped forward, pushed open the hidden courtyard door, and shouted inside: "Lao Mo, Lao Huang, come out quickly." The Zhenfu Division sent the new Baihu to come, and hurriedly came out to see Yang Baihu. ”

After a long while, a lazy promise came from inside: "Why did you send another unlucky guy to us?" Then, with a creak, several men walked out of the hall in the courtyard.
