Of course, it is impossible to untie Zhu Houzhao's heart knot lightly and skillfully at three moments, but at least when this "Little Marquis Zhu" got out of the car, he put a ride on Xu Xun's shoulder in an old-fashioned manner, and then said with a smile: "Xu Xun, you remember, those words just now are the secret of the two of us, God knows you know and I know!" ”

Xu Xun, who couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at Liu Jin, who was dazed with a blank face, but his eyes were extremely cunning, and secretly thought that there was at least one other insider here. It's just that, of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to refute Zhu Houzhao, nodded and quickly diverted the topic: "Little Marquis, although I have been to Nanjing Guozijian several times, but this is the first time I have come to this capital Guozijian. ”

"Majestic? It's such a big place, I'm tired of seeing it for a long time, and if I have the opportunity to catch up with tomorrow, I will definitely go to Nanjing to have a good look! By the way, Xu Xun, since you are from Nanjing, you will lead the way when the time comes, what Xuanwu Lake Qinhuai River Jiming Temple, I must play all those good places! Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao didn't care what other people's faces were, and he complained angrily after looking around for a while, "It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the world is my father...... It's all the emperor's, but the emperor can only stay in such a small palace, which is too aggrieved! ”

Those eunuchs all laughed and agreed, but Xu Xun secretly thought to himself, if he was bored in such a Forbidden City for more than ten years all day long, he would be like Zhu Houzhao who wanted to go out. Thinking so, he could only respond vaguely at this time. When he saw that the gate of the Guozijian was closed, and he didn't know if Li Yifeng had really sent someone over, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and casually pointed to the eunuch who followed and shouted: "You, go and ask, that Xu Si Xie Duo can accept it!" ”

The eunuch who had such an unlucky errand pointed to his nose, and saw that Zhu Houzhao did not mean to take back his fate, so he had to respond with a sad face and turned around. At this time, Xu Xun had already seen his own Tao Hong probing his brain not far away, and knew that the appointment was stopped, so he looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile and said, "Little Marquis, it's boring to wait here, let's go to the Confucian Temple Book Market first?" ”

Xu heard a fresh argument in the car, Xu was freed from the big cell in the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood, and immediately agreed: "Okay, just go there!" ”

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taixue was built as in all dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang imitated the Xia, Shang and Zhou systems and set up the Guozijian in Jiming Mountain, ten miles away from the downtown area, and Zhu Di, like his Laozi Zhu Yuanzhang, moved the capital to Yanjing and chose the Guozijian in the relatively desolate Beicheng at the beginning, in order to let the scholars study with peace of mind and not worry about the prosperity of the world. However, scholars are also people, scholars are also people, there must be all kinds of needs, so around the Temple of Literature, there are gradually some shops, but this is not in line with the style after all, so the most is a variety of bookstores and bookstores, from old books to new books and even spring palace pictures, as long as you are willing to spend money and spend your thoughts, you can find anything.

Just like at this time, Zhu Houzhao visited three bookstores under the hugs of the front and back, and he had already found several paintings of his favorite beauties, and he was originally a little interested in this trip, and he gradually became really interested. Xu Xun, who was walking around on the side, had to deal with the problems that suddenly appeared in Zhu Houzhao's aura on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to Tao Hong's gestures not far away, and quietly lead people to the land he had prepared, naturally working hard. When he finally led Zhu Houzhao to the bookstore that Tao Hong pointed to, and finally could go to the door to take a breath, someone suddenly gently pulled his sleeve.

"Young Master."

Turning his head to see that it was Bao, Xu Xun was stunned for a moment. After all, Ah Bao was directly taken down from the canal boat, and his knowledge was limited, and after following him into the capital yesterday, it was like entering the Grand View Garden, and he was careful not to take one more step, and his original cleverness was not very good, but he didn't care too much about accepting people for another reason. Therefore, at this time, he mistakenly thought that Ah Bao was tired after following the carriage on foot for most of the day, so he nodded slightly and said, "It's none of your business now, let's rest." ”

"No......" Ah Bao quickly shook his head, leaned closer and said, "Young master, a few people over there are always looking at you here, and they seem to have bad intentions...... I looked at them in their eyes, very much like the scene when our boat gang two groups of people fought desperately before trying to find out. ”

"What did you say?"

Xu Xun thought that Ah Bao had misidentified Tao Hong and the others, but when he pretended to follow Ah Bao's instructions casually and quietly observed, he immediately found two or three sneaky men wearing hats. Thinking of the sudden assassination in Nanjing, which had no warning at all, he only felt that a string in his heart suddenly tensed, and he immediately left Ah Bao to stare at the spot and reflexively entered the store.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was holding a Buddhist scripture he had prepared in advance and was bargaining with the shopkeeper, he didn't care about getting involved in it to tout and tout it, so he went straight to Liu Jin, who was smiling on the side, and dragged the person aside.

Liu ...... Mr. Liu. I have something to discuss with you. ”

Xu Xun almost burst out of the word father-in-law directly, but fortunately, it was finally changed. The two words that were temporarily changed made Liu Jin smile, and he suddenly threw away his displeasure at Xu Xun's reckless behavior, but asked with a smile: "What is the important matter of Xu Gongzi?" ”

"The little marquis came out today, except for a few of you, but there are still people with you?"

"Uh...... Well...... this."

Faced with such a sudden question, Liu Jin was a little hesitant, but thinking of what he heard outside the carriage, he felt that Xu Xun could make the prince take out that kind of terrible heart, and he must be used in the future, and it was worth putting some effort into showing goodwill, so he rolled his eyes and nodded with a smile: "Of course!" The little Hou Ye is the lifeblood of our Hou Ye and his wife, so what line can we only follow when we come out? If something happens, no one can afford it! ”

And so it was!

Xu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about how to open his mouth to let Liu Jin take precautions and find someone to clean up the men outside first, when he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder. Startled, he hurriedly turned around, but found that it was not Zhu Houzhao who did what he imagined, but Li Yifeng with a smile on his face.

"Xu Gongzi, what a coincidence, let's meet again! What's the matter, this is following the little marquis to visit the bookstore? ”

This sentence was so coincidental that Xu Xun almost wanted to roll his eyes. The first time I bumped into Zhu Houzhao in the Shuntian Mansion, it was a coincidence, but now that Li Yifeng said these words, he was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open. However, at the moment, he just needed manpower, and he didn't care where this person came from, so he dragged Li Yifeng to the door of the bookstore near the door of the bookstore as soon as he confessed to Liu Jin.

"Master Li, look at the men on the other side, are they watching us here?"

"Huh?"

Li Yifeng met the eunuch who had been sent by Zhu Houzhao in Guozijian, so he hurried here. He didn't think about any promotion, but as the second-in-command of Beizhen Fusi, when the prince left the palace, he turned around on the side and became familiar, and it was not a problem for the prince to ascend the throne and keep his position. However, when he heard Xu Xun's words, the sensitivity of the detective for many years immediately overshadowed everything, and he almost squinted his eyes and glanced back and forth at several people under the eaves of the study over there, and finally patted Xu Xun on the shoulder.

"Good boy, Dongchang is probably because he is afraid that the prince will think that there are too few people and it is cold and boring, so he didn't clean the street in advance, and he actually left so many ballasts, which is cheaper for me!"

Before Xu Xun came back to his senses, he saw Li Yifeng striding out of the store, putting his finger to his mouth and making a loud whistle, only to see more than a dozen big men snatched out from all directions, blocking the surroundings tightly. Waiting for him to make another gesture, these big men didn't say a word and forced the men wearing hats under the eaves on the opposite side. Seeing this, Xu Xun, who didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, was dumbfounded.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this scene, several men in the encirclement glanced at each other, and immediately someone shouted. But as soon as these words came out, Li Yifeng, who was standing at the door, said slowly: "Beizhen Fusi is doing things, and idle people are avoiding!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the street immediately stirred. The guys in the bookstore opposite who had just opened their heads and poked their heads immediately jumped up, some were busy getting off the door panels, and some of them abandoned the bookstore and slipped back too late, not to mention the people who were still hanging out on the street, one by one they only hated themselves for missing two legs.

The shopkeeper, who was bargaining with Zhu Houzhao just now, couldn't help but shudder, and his face became pale. And when the eunuchs saw Zhu Houzhao striding to the door with great interest, they almost stood up in front of their masters, how loyal and loyal they were.

"Don't worry, do a good job today, no matter how much trouble you make, it doesn't matter to you!" Xu Xun had already retreated, and said to the trembling shopkeeper as if comforting, "As long as your mouth is tighter, then there is nothing at all!" ”

At the intersection of Jixian Street and Guozijian Street, a horse-drawn carriage was parked, and one hand opened the curtain to look inside. Seeing a number of people rushing out of the well-known book market alley next to Guozijian Street, the concerned eyes were condensed, and it took a long time to lower the curtains. With a soft shout, the carriage immediately headed south.

In the carriage, Mr. Luo put down the fragrant tea in his hand and stared at the companion opposite for a while, and then asked: "I said the big shopkeeper, even if our prince is active and out of the palace, and it is difficult to run to a place like this Confucian Temple, it is not worth the big shopkeeper You personally come forward and take me here to watch such a monkey show, right?" ”

Opposite Mr. Luo, a man with an iron mask sat there motionless, silent for a long time, before he said in a hoarse voice: "Although the prince is important, but now he is not in power, it is better to stare at him than to stare at others!" Li Rong and several of them all accepted our heavy gifts, but Xiao Jing was not allowed to enter the oil and salt, I wanted to see how the kid Xiao Jing fancied was. It seems that he was lucky, not long after he entered the capital, he actually caught the prince. ”

"How many people around the prince have confiscated our benefits? Even Li Rong, the master of ceremonies, is not unable to pass the level of money! He's a newcomer to nothing. Mr. Luo shook the fan in his hand without smiling, and only after a while did he smile hesitantly, "Don't you tell me that you have never left home and come to the capital for such a trivial matter?" ”

The man in the iron mask raised his head suddenly, and the mask made of fine iron looked ghostly with the reflection of the light: "I heard that the emperor admonished Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, in Nangong a few days ago. That's why he was so nervous, as soon as the prince entered the Shouning Marquis Mansion, he immediately showed up to curry favor, but he didn't want to spoil his daughter's hard work. Except for that girl, the Zhang family is almost not smart, if it weren't for the emperor's protection, from the queen to their brothers, they would have been swallowed to the bone. The Zhang family is stupid, so the news is naturally easier for the prince to believe. ”

"It turns out that the big shopkeeper is for this, and it has been secretly arranged for many years, so naturally there is no mistake...... By the way, I forgot to ask, who is this group of people who are sneaking around and watching? ”

Although the man in the iron mask was wearing a mask, at this moment, Mr. Luo could vaguely see that he seemed to be smiling: "Mr. Luo, you claim to know everything to defeat the enemy, you don't know, how can I know where it is sacred?" Anyway, it's a jumping clown, but it hit the iron plate, but it's just right to clean up for Beizhen Fusi. ”
