Ding Si investigated for a long time, and finally figured out Xu Chengxiong's situation: Xu Chengxiong, the chief of the East Factory, has dozens of people under him, and he is deeply used among hundreds of chiefs, and he was appointed to visit the capital and not judge the officials, many officials are afraid that they will be targeted by Xu Chengxiong, so although Xu Chengxiong's position is low, the officials dare not underestimate it, Xu Chengxiong is very low-key, never show off his power in front of people, he usually advances and retreats appropriately, and his kung fu is very good. Therefore, Zhang Qing appointed Xu Chengxiong to secretly investigate the officials in Beijing, and Xu Chengxiong did not live up to Zhang Qing's high expectations, and Zhang Qing was deeply satisfied every time he did something.

Ding Si was taken aback when he learned the news of Xu Chengxiong, if he and Xiong Tianlei wanted to investigate Xu Chengxiong, they really had to be more careful, otherwise they would not only return in vain, but also bring a lot of trouble to themselves and Xiong Tianlei. Then I thought about it, I don't know who secretly handed over the note, what is the intention. After thinking about it, I only felt that my heart was in turmoil, and I saw that there was not much going on in the yamen, so I simply took leave from Li Cheng and went outside to wander around.

Unconsciously, Ding Si found himself walking to Dong'an Gate, looking around, and then going north is where the Yamen of Dongchang is located, Ding Si couldn't help laughing, thinking about Dongchang, and walked to the vicinity of Dongchang, I don't know if I will meet Zhang Qing and Xu Chengxiong, and then I thought that I don't know the appearance of the two, and it is estimated that even if I see it, I should not know it. Ding Siyi smiled, turned around and walked south.

After walking for more than 300 meters, he heard a commotion in front of him, Ding Si couldn't help but look forward curiously, only to see a group of people surrounded not far away, faintly noisy, Ding Si walked towards the crowd quickly.

Before he reached the crowd, he heard an angry voice shouting: "You must tell me clearly today, what is a miracle and obscenity, and it can't be put on the stage." ”

Immediately, a voice said angrily: "You old man is so strange, let's chat and talk by ourselves, which one will talk to you?" Alas, let go, it's really insulting to Sven, insulting to Sven. ”

Before the voice was over, another female voice sounded: "Qi Laosan, what are you crazy about, you promised to accompany me to the capital, what kind of quarrel with people for some reason?" ”

While speaking, Ding Si had already squeezed into the crowd, and saw an old man in the crowd pulling a scholar in soap clothes, and a middle-aged beautiful woman stomping her feet in anger, and another scholar in green clothes in the middle was in a hurry, persuading the old man to let the scholar go, and at the same time persuading the scholar not to worry.

Seeing the four people inside, Ding Si couldn't help but feel that the old man and the middle-aged beauty were a little familiar, and after a little recollection, he remembered that these two people were the two people he and Bai Yi met last time. Ding Si couldn't help but wonder, how could the two quarrel with someone here? He hurriedly inquired to the side, and was amused when he heard it. It turned out that the two scholars were chatting on the road, and the scholar in soap clothes said: "Everything is inferior, but reading is high." The scholar in Tsing Yi said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and it is like saying that the public loses, and it can be regarded as a name for generations." The scholar in the soap coat said disdainfully: "All craftsmen do it in the wrong way, such as the craftsman who makes gunpowder, who relies on miracles and tricks to please the world, but in addition to making the sky full of fireworks and spending a lot of silver, what practical use is there?" But he didn't want this to be heard by the old man inside, so he was immediately angry, so he grabbed the scholar's clothes and reasoned with him.

Ding Sicai inquired about the beginning and the end, and saw the beautiful woman in the middle of it stomping her feet, and said fiercely: "Qi Laosan, you went crazy spontaneously, so I didn't bother to accompany you to be embarrassed." After saying that, he twisted his body and slipped out of the crowd. When the old man saw her leaving, he hurriedly threw away the scholar, pushed away the people watching the excitement on both sides, and chased after her, and the remaining scholar in soap was trembling with anger, and kept saying: "Inexplicable, inexplicable." ”

The surrounding crowd dispersed with a "coax", and Ding Si hurriedly chased forward, shouting in his mouth: "Senior, please stay." ”

Ding Si's feet are very good, a few ups and downs have come to the two of them, the old man is smiling beside the beautiful woman, seeing Ding Si appear and glaring at him, he is about to get angry, and suddenly he remembers something and says: "Good boy, it turned out to be you, you helped me last time, this time help me persuade Aunt Hui, I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

Before Ding Si could answer, the beautiful woman called Huigu said hatefully: "Qi Laosan, you can't change your temper for the rest of your life, I really lost face today." He said to Ding Si again: "It made Childe smile." ”

The beautiful woman was angry, full of charm, and Ding Si's heartbeat slowed down.

The old man named Qi Laosan became even more and more hippie and smiling, and couldn't help coaxing Aunt Hui to be happy.

Ding Si arched his hand: "The two seniors are really fateful, and the younger Ding Si is fortunate to see the two again, and he is very lucky." ”

Qi Laosan laughed and said: "Fortunately, every time I am complained by Aunt Hui, but fortunately you are here, otherwise Aunt Hui will ignore me for three days." ”

Hui Gu glared at him and said to Ding Si, "Ding Gongzi, we have fate." He laughed softly: "Thank you so much last time, but it hurt you to ride with your little friend." ”

Ding Si remembered riding a horse with Baiyi, and his ears couldn't help but faintly heat, Aunt Hui looked embarrassed, but her heart was funny, and her husband's laughter sounded in her ears: "Aunt Hui told me, your little friend looks like a woman, you two are really a couple." ”

At this time, Ding Si's face turned red, and before Aunt Hui could complain about her husband, she heard her husband say again: "Why didn't that woman stay with you?" ”

Ding Si was stunned when he heard this, but his mouth quickly diverted the words.

At that time, Bai Yi took the initiative to give away horses, coupled with her handsome appearance and beautiful speech, Qi Laosan and Hui Gu had a good impression of her, but they couldn't hear the news of Bai Yi at this time, and they were faintly disappointed.

Ding Si hurriedly said, "Haven't asked the two honorable names yet?" ”

Huigu saw Qi Laosan's throat move, and hurriedly rushed in front of him and said: "This is my husband, I am usually used to shouting 'Qi Laosan', in fact, the surname is Qi Mingshixian, and the next surname is Li Minghuigu." ”

Ding Sifang was grateful: "I happened to meet two seniors at that time, and I was also very lucky, but fortunately, Senior Qi helped us blow up the stones that stood in the way, so that we saved time and found the person we were looking for, thank you?" Predecessor. "Say goodbye, give me a deep salute.

Qi Laosan smiled his face into a word when he heard this: "Aunt Hui, if you listen to this kid surnamed Ding who can talk a lot, I can't listen to others say that making gunpowder is a miracle." ”

Huigu was quite helpless when she saw him like this, her eyes were horizontal, and she was both loving and angry.

The three of them were talking, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Senior Qi, Senior Qi." ”

Hui Gu's face changed when she heard this, and she whispered in her mouth: "Oops, they found out again." Push Qi Laosan with his hand: "Hurry up." ”

The two twisted their bodies and jumped out in a few steps, without saying goodbye to Ding Si, and mixed in the crowd in a blink of an eye.

When Ding Si was dumbfounded, he saw four or five people running from behind, the first one with a pointed hat and white boots, wearing a brown robe, and a small ink-colored silk around his waist. The leader stopped and said to Ding Si: "Young man, do you know the two people who spoke to you just now?" ”

Ding Si looked at their clothes and knew that they were from Dongchang, so he quickly cheered up and spoke: "Just ask me for directions, saying that if you go to Guanglu Temple." ”

The man stared at him for a while, and his face was very ordinary, that is, the two eyes on his face were extremely cold, as if he had seen the heart of a person. Ding Si's face was calm, but he didn't show any panic.

The person next to him came to the man's side and said, "Xu Stalltou, the news says that these two people have just arrived in the capital, and there should be no one who knows each other." ”

The man was relieved, waved his hand and said, "Go back." ”

Ding Si looked at the figures of a few people leaving, but he was shocked in his heart: Xu stall, could it be that this person is that Xu Chengxiong?
