[Chapter 12: Tu Xiaotian, One Town Rule]

"Damn, isn't it?!" Shen Yun was taken aback.

It's night, why did Zhou Hui come here???

Fang Cheng was also surprised, glanced back at Shen Yun, who was still in the pool, and then hurriedly dressed up and hurriedly ran to the door with the housekeeper.

Zhou Hui wore a water-green narrow-sleeved jumpsuit, a small Huzhou silk placket shawl, and a three-girl bun on her head, representing her status as not out of the cabinet. Although it does not apply powder and has its own fragrance, it looks noble and elegant.

However, this nobility and elegance were soon destroyed by herself.

"Shen Yuanrang, let him come out to see me!" Her Royal Highness Princess Duanping sat in the main hall of the Huainan Hou Courtyard, her willow eyebrows upside down, and her face was angry.

This dead Shen Yun stinks Shen Yun, what does he want to do after avoiding me for so long? Am there something I'm doing wrong? Or am I what's wrong with me? He was thinking about Sister Yan, and I didn't stop him, but he couldn't avoid me, right?

He is going to Yanfu today to rob his relatives, didn't I still ask Ma Gu to give him a strong voice, what else do you want me to do?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hui was full of fire and had nowhere to sprinkle.

Fang Cheng was about to argue, but he didn't think that Zhou Hui would glare: "Teng Yujun, don't lie and lie to me, your dormitory and the Bohai Hou Courtyard are not there, and it just so happens that you are not in the dormitory tonight, in this imperial capital, where else can he go besides here?" If you don't hand over Shen Yun today, this princess will really be here! ”

Why are these two flavors? They all like to mess around, be that scoundrel?!

Fang Cheng smiled slightly bitterly, and when the words came to his mouth, he took them back, and had no choice but to say: "Princess Kuanza, come when you go!" ”

Zhou Hui waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly, this princess wants to see what tricks he wants to play today!" ”

This expression is almost like a bandit bully, where is there still the shy and gentle appearance that was lying in Shen Yun's arms.

Speaking of which, I don't blame Zhou Hui. On the day they arrived in the imperial capital, the two were still tender and sweet, like honey blending oil. In order to save the statue of the Holy Ancestor, he was injured and hospitalized. Zhou Hui also let go of his identity. I went to the hospital one by one, served tea and water, asked for warmth, and took care of the wounds and dressings. I almost hung a flag and said that I was going to marry Shen Yun.

Shen Yun was fine, but he was not injured and secretly discharged from the hospital, and ran into the dormitory by himself under the pretext of being unwell, and he didn't go anywhere, and he didn't see anyone.

This week, Hui also endured it, but on the day of the winter solstice. He actually sneaked out with others to play tricks, and even summoned "people" in the emperor to rob relatives?! Zhou Hui is a princess, taking advantage of Ma Gu's infatuation and asking him to cheer for his lover, Shen Yun is good, and he slipped away halfway. didn't even go back to the dormitory, so she waited for so many hours on the shore of Weiming Lake.

She was already a quick temper, for Shen Yun can be said to endure again and again, now it is unbearable, anxious and angry to start the "huge project" to find Shen Yun, she must ask Shen Yun face to face, why avoid her!?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Shen Yun left, Gongfu Xiao walked around the study. After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that it was inappropriate. So he immediately dressed up and went out of the house.

Gongfuxiao's carriage stopped in front of a large mansion in the north of the city.

Although it is said that the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is cheap, but the north of the city is not without rich and noble families. It's just a lot less.

The mansion in front of him is no less than many wealthy families in the East City. The wide vermilion gate, the light on a hanging pole at the doorway swayed in the cold night wind.

"Knock knock", two soft sounds. Gongfu Xiao came to the side door and knocked on the brass ring.

An impatient voice came from inside the door.

"Who?"

"The Ministry of Rites will follow the Gongfu to meet you!" Gongfu's voice was very low.

However, the movement inside immediately became clear, and with a "squeak", the side door opened, and a person dressed as a small servant appeared in the door, and said with a flattering smile: "Ah, why is it the father-in-law?" It's so late......"

Gongfu Xiao bent down slightly: "I want to see Duke Tu if I have something to do, and I hope Your Excellency will give you a briefing!" ”

"Where is the Lord Gongfu, the master has already instructed him, and the Lord Gongfu only needs to enter, and there is no need to report it! It's windy outside, so please go inside! The little guy hurriedly let the father-in-law in.

The light on the hanging lamp pole is blown by the wind, and it is cleansed, and under the light, the word "Tufu" written in the huge Lishu reveals a strange luster.

The gate of the entrance, covering an area of 100 tilts, is displayed in front of the Gongfu Xiao. The stars are dotted, the night sky is deep, but the lights in the Tufu are sparse, only a few wind lanterns are hung in the corner of the corridor, swaying gently in this large courtyard that is not inferior to the palace, revealing a trace of weirdness.

However, Gongfu Xiao didn't seem to care about any of this, and followed closely by the little girl, crossing the front yard and the corridor, and suddenly became enlightened. The backyard is completely different from the front yard, it is brightly lit, there is a stone lampstand every few steps, and the cloister is full of enlightenment lanterns, illuminating the place as if it were daylight.

Turn the Zhu Pavilion, go around the household, and soon come to a temple with a hilltop and two layers of eaves. The landscapes, flowers and trees in this place are scattered. In front of the hall, a mountain stone is towering, the left and right sides are surrounded by clear water, and a small bridge is erected respectively, just like two dragons playing with pearls. After crossing the second bridge, there is a portal, which is the residence and office of the owner of the Tufu.

"Wait a minute, sir, let me report first......" The little servant stood at the door of the hall and whispered.

"What to report? Where are there so many stinky rules to let people in! A loud voice came from the room.

The little servant shrank his neck, hurriedly opened the door of the temple, and went around to the side.

Gongfu Xiao was like entering the palace to face the saint, took a deep breath, then lowered his head and bent down, lifted the corner of his robe and hurriedly entered.

The hall is extremely spacious, the interior uses the board wall, the blue yarn kitchen, the curtain and various forms of flower covers, flying covers, Bogu shelves to separate the space of different sizes, neither seems empty, but also not graceful and elegant, the ceiling, color paintings, wall collections, calligraphy and paintings, lamps, banners, stoves, etc. are embellished in the meantime, and the magnificence of the law arises spontaneously.

Everything furnished here is not much better than the palace. Who is this public servant to see?

In the dormitory on the west side of the main hall, two people were sitting across a round table.

The person facing Gongfu Xiao is a man, with a wide forehead and thick eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a tall figure, a dignified appearance, and a good appearance. He wore only a casual homely hanfu, a black loose robe with loose trunks, loose and draped belts, and slippers with fluffy grass and cotton cloth under his feet. Leaning very casually on the Taishi's chair. Grabbed a document on the round table, looked at the light carefully, and saw the father-in-law and said, "Yes, I'll sit there first, and wait for me to finish reading this secret report!" ”

The husband nodded with bated breath, retreated and sat down in the back of the room.

Across from the man sat a slender figure shrouded in a black robe, with a veil over his head. I can't see my face clearly, and I can't tell the difference between men and women.

Behind the round table there was an arhat bed, and the large bed was messy with brocade quilts, and at first glance it was a man's residence, or the kind that was not cleaned by women.

As time passed, the man slammed the table. shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, more than a dozen people have not been able to find two Roman spies, this Xia Heng still has the face to write a secret report to defend himself, it is really hateful." Tianjiao, this matter is left to you to handle, and I must find these two people for me a year ago. If I don't find them, I won't be able to sleep. ”

The man across from the man nodded silently and didn't speak.

Anyway. The man seemed to remember that there was also a guest like Gongfu. Quickly stood up, nearly nine feet in body. A handful of swarthy chest hair was exposed in the wide Hanfu, a big man.

He got up, and the man in the black veil across from him also stood up. Gongfu Xiao naturally couldn't sit still, he quickly got up, and bowed to the man first: "Tu Gong, there is something to report below!" ”

Tu Gong nodded, and did not look back, and the man wearing the black veil immediately turned around and went out. There was not a trace of mud and water during the period.

"Come, sit down!" As soon as Tu Gong waved his hand, he and Gongfu sat on a chair in the room, with a tea table in between.

At this time, it can be seen that this Tu Gong is already an old man with gray temples, at least sixty years away. However, his majestic size and loud voice make it easy to ignore his age.

Gongfu Xiao is so respectful to him, not because of his size, nor because of his age. It's because the Tu Cheng in front of him is in charge of the largest spy organization in the whole world, the first town of the Yulin Secret Guard, surnamed Tu Minglong, and the word Xiaotian!

The emperor claims to be the true dragon emperor, and this person is actually called Dragon Slayer, you can imagine how strange it is. What's even more strange is that this name was actually given to him by the first emperor. He used the name justifiably, and it was grandiose.

And the person who walked out before, Gongfu Xiao also recognized it-Tu Tianjiao, the second town of Yulin Secret Guard! He is the eldest son of Tu Gong!

It can be said that the Tu family holds power that is not inferior to that of the emperor, and this Tu Gong is a veritable underground emperor of the Han Empire.

"Oi Cheng came to visit overnight, I don't know what happened?" Tu Gong's temples are white, but he has no beard, the hard stubble is faintly visible, but it is also the color of silver frost, and the deep wrinkles on his face are extremely obvious in the light.

Gongfu bowed down and said: "Don't hide it from Duke Tu, the Marquis of Bohai came to visit me tonight, the purpose is to ask my majesty for marriage in front of the emperor." ”

Tu Gong tilted his head and said with a smile: "This kid, he really dares to think about it." Did you promise him? ”

"I don't dare to say yes."

Tu Gong nodded: "Not bad." You really can't say yes. At this time, it is impossible for His Majesty to agree. Although His Majesty loves him very much, he can't ignore the overall situation, isn't he a sappor, let him spill it again, maybe the Yan family will agree to him! Speaking of which, Tu Gong himself laughed first.

Gongfu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Duke Tu doesn't know, Bohai Hou is not a person who will accept his fate, and I am afraid that he will see that there is no hope of marriage proposal, so he will have other ideas - you know, there is nothing he dare not do!" ”

The corner of Tu Gong's mouth brought a hint of a smile, "Yes, this kid really doesn't dare to do anything." A few small thieves dared to steal the vaults of the Imperial Bank, and if it weren't for the coincidence, they would have been killed on the spot...... But I have to say that this kid still has some luck. In Qingchuan County, in Bohai Prefecture, and in Fusang Prefecture, he walked all the way, although he was in danger several times, but he took advantage of the situation to escape, and finally succeeded! Hehe, when I reported these things to Your Majesty, Your Majesty praised him a few words! ”

Gongfu smiled and said: "The talent that Mr. likes is not to be said. It's just that I'm only worried that his young heart will be self-defeating, and it will ruin our big things. You must know that this Yan Zhun is now the most important chess piece of the Hou Party, and once he is angered, there may not be any good results. ”

Tu Gong frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "Well, this is worrying, so let's let Tianjiao warn him, doesn't he like to be a secret guard?" Then I'll give him the status of a secret guard. Then find a reason to drive him away from the imperial capital. ”

Gongfu Xiao exclaimed: "How can it be done?" He was a student of Imperial University. Leaving school without a reason is a violation of the law of the Han Dynasty! Besides, the identity of the secret guard can't guarantee that he can pass everywhere, leaving the imperial capital, he doesn't need a road guide certificate if he doesn't walk a hundred miles, otherwise he will be arrested......"

"I'm too worried, and in half a month it will be the end of the year. He is also a junior in college, so why not take this opportunity to travel and study? As for the road reference certificate, hehe, it is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning for us and others. Tu Gong smiled lightly.

"Travelling to study? Well, that's fine. It is better to keep him away from this place of right and wrong. Otherwise, according to his temperament, he may not be able to retreat in this upcoming dump. The father-in-law stroked his beard and nodded.

Tu Gongdao: "Shen Mu left too early, Shen Yun is still embarrassed, Your Majesty also has the heart to let him get rid of these court rights and wrongs, but he has inherited the title, and he is the orthodox marquis of the Han Dynasty, if he stays in the imperial capital, wait until the day of the showdown." His position is indeed easy for those with good intentions to take advantage of. The only way to do this is to let him go. ”

Tu Gong said again: "Is that kid from the Hou family in Huainan quite good with him?" ”

Gongfu replied: "Yes, the two regard them as confidants and good friends. Tu Gong means ......"

"Then let the two of them leave together. Anyway, Huainan Hou Fangfang is still there, and it is enough for him to pick the big beauty alone. Tu Gong clapped his hands, "These two boys have made us elders worry enough for them...... By the way, do you have an eyebrow for the accounts you checked? ”

Gongfu Xiao hurriedly said: "Oh, there are already some eyebrows, it turns out that Yan Zhun and the Hou Party do have a complicated relationship, in the past thirty years, the accounts can be checked and the loans returned are 1.7 billion gold coins, but the accounts that have not been repaid are as high as 6 billion, plus private bribery and embezzlement of public funds, the deficit is at least more than 20 billion!" ”

Tu Gong gasped and exclaimed, "There are so many!" ”

The father-in-law said, "It's not all. Among the many industries under Yan Zhun's command, transportation and grain are the most extensive, and about forty percent of them are operated by mutual shares with the Imperial Bank. If these are counted, Yan Zhun owes at least one trillion dollars to the Imperial Bank! ”

Tu Gong's eyebrows tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Hou Party is not doing this to protect Yan Zhun. ”

"That's nature. Now we only control the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Bank, and we don't have enough manpower to take over the distribution of counties and counties, and messing up the accounts of the Yan family is equivalent to messing up the accounts of these branches, even if we have so many people to take over, it is impossible to straighten out these accounts without a few years of work, and they have a lot of time to arrange them calmly. ”

Tu Gong snorted coldly: "The clown who jumped the beam dared to be smart." Oi Cheng, how about the candidate you are looking for? ”

Gongfu said: "Manpower is not a problem, Imperial University, Huainan University, Bohai University, and Bingzhou University...... There are many students in major universities across the country, and they are excellent supplementary personnel as soon as they graduate, but they have no practical experience, and if they take office in a hurry, they are afraid that they will not be able to take on big responsibilities. ”

Tu Gongdao: "If you talk about financial management, when Imperial University and Yizhou University come first, can the students in these two places pay attention to it?" ”

Gongfu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Yida is Zhigong's territory, and those students who have successfully graduated have already been pocketed by Zhigong, how can I get involved?" However, I have found a lot of outstanding students in the Imperial University, but the person who has always been timid and afraid of things, and he cannot be compared with Mr. Arashiyama at all. Although he did not refute our recruitment announcement, there were still some outstanding students who were absorbed by Zhigong. ”

Tu Gong rubbed his temples that were a little sour, and sighed: "I really don't know much about these things, so I'll leave it to you to worry about!" In short, I will advise Your Majesty to relax the assessment of the position of the household department this year, and try to recruit as many students as possible. When the time is right next year, let these people out and take over the entire Imperial Bank! ”

"Yes."

"By the way, I asked you to write a job transfer a few days ago, have you written it?" Tu Gong asked suddenly.

Gongfu nodded: "It has been written, and it will be handed over to the cabinet tomorrow." It's just that I was rashly promoted from the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the right waiter of the household department, and became an alternative to the head of the household department, will this cause criticism? ”

"Hmph, with Your Majesty here, who dares to criticize? What's more, Oi Cheng has passed the year of no confusion this year, and promotion is a matter of course. I'm afraid of where he came from! Tu Gong said indifferently.

Tu Gong said again: "I have to think about other things these days, and I will leave these things to you to worry about!" Remember, it must be done, the sword of the Son of Heaven has been unsheathed, and it will never be recovered without blood. Do you understand? Speaking of this, the sharp eyes under Tu Gong's thick eyebrows pointed directly at Gongfu Xiao.

Gongfu Xiao didn't dare to ask anything, but nodded respectfully: "Yes." ”
