The buildings in the flag city are quite similar to the capital, and they are clearly distinguished from the southern houses in Guangzhou.

"Fu Lai Shun" teahouse, Ye Zhao asked for a bowl of high foam, and drank to quench his thirst, and on both sides of the square table, on the left side sat the musketeer bodyguard Bakshi, and on the right side sat the maid Ruyi, but Ruyi was dressed in men's clothes, a horse coat and a green robe, and a melon skin round hat, but he was graceful and handsome.

Rui Si was assigned to talk to the shopkeeper of Qiu, his stomach was full of bad water, and it was difficult for him not to do business, not to mention that Ye Zhao really needed his help in many things, even if he muttered in his heart, he didn't dare not listen to his master's orders.

The excerpts for the preparation of the firearms battalion have been sent to the Beijing Division, and the silver horn in Xiaxiguan is almost about to open, Ye Zhao wrote a letter to Shanghai Hall, Su Laoda, Huang Wenxiu and others, informing them of their own whereabouts. Of course, I didn't forget to ask Hall to help me prepare foreign guns from now on.

As for the money village in Xiaxiguan, the store is so simple, it is bound to be patronized by no one, Ye Zhao just wants to use the connections of the shopkeeper Qiu to support a few businesses and make a name for himself in the Guangzhou Cantonese business circle, but the more inconspicuous the shop, the more in line with Ye Zhao's mind.

Thinking about this, Ye Zhao glanced at Baksh sitting beside him, but smiled slightly, Bakshi's marksmanship is getting better and better, and he already has a bit of a sharpshooter's taste, and this once famous marksman with a blue flag has transformed quite quickly.

Their table was on the second floor by the window, and from the ridge of the window, you could see the bustling flow of people on the long street.

Ye Zhao suddenly frowned and asked, "Shenbao, is there a smoke hall on the other side?" "Opposite the store, the Manchu and Han Shuangwen signboard "Juxian Pavilion", but I saw that those who picked up the curtain and went in were all depressed, but those who came out of it were full of energy, stretching their waists as if they were full of vitality.

Shen Bao never expected that Lord Tutong would "ask" him to drink tea and ask him to accompany him to visit the flag city, and he was always worried in his heart, and he couldn't see through what this prince and brother were thinking.

What he is most worried about now is his wife and daughter, running away from the flag is a serious crime, and intermarrying with a Han woman without permission is another crime, and for the Han family woman to escape the flag for more than a year, it is not surprising that if Shangguan is strict, his wife and daughter are afraid that they will be on death row.

was in a state of sorrow, and when he heard Ye Zhao ask, Shen Bao stood up violently, clasped his fists and bowed: "My lord, there is a smoke house opposite!" ”

His sudden action startled the guy who came over to refill the water, Ye Zhao smiled and knocked on the table with a folding fan: "Sit down and sit down, you said that you are not formal today, why can't you remember?" ”

"Yes, yes." Jimbo slowly sat down next to half of his ass.

Ye Zhao glanced back at the smoke house again, and said with a smile: "Who is so capable?" Open the smoke house in our flag city? It's also a good time to see today! ”

Jimbo hesitated for a moment, but a few words popped out from between his teeth: "Co-leader Cha Hasselbla!" ”

The co-leader is the highest-ranking military attache under Ye Zhao, the deputy capital, from the third grade, Ye Zhao has a total of four co-leaders, and each co-leader is in charge of two banners of military and civilian.

Ye Zhao could have thought that if he dared to blatantly open a tobacco house in Qicheng, he must be a powerful person of the Eight Banners, but a co-leader in the hall who did not know how to advance or retreat and did not know how to avoid taboos was also a characteristic of the late Qing Dynasty.

Taking a sip of Gao Mo, Ye Zhao asked lightly, "Are the other co-leaders involved?" ”

Shen Bao said: "I don't know, who knows their lack of morality?" After hesitating for a moment, he finally confessed: "But the co-leader is a relative of General Mutern and the younger brother of the general's wife." ”

Ye Zhao smiled, tapped the fan on the table, pondered for a while, and then said to Shenbao: "Help me on an errand." ”

"Yes!" Jimpo immediately got up from his seat, he was really uncomfortable to sit on.

Ye Zhao handed him the fan and said, "You go now, send this folding fan into the smoke house, and say that it is for their owner to see." ”

Ye Zhao has two folding fans, both of which are inscribed with Li Bai's poems, one of which is Ye Zhao, and the one he is holding now is Jing Xiang.

"Wow!" Shen Bao hit a thousand, and respectfully took the fan with both hands, got up, and strode away.

Ye Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go!" Baksh and Ruyi also got up.

……

In the next two or three days, Ye Zhao did not sit in the office, and on the third night, the housekeeper of the Chahasu family visited Rui Si upside down, and sent Ye Zhao's folding fan and a letter of silver, about four or five hundred taels, not to mention that there should be silver every month to pay filial piety, when Rui Si sent away the housekeeper of the Chahasu family and presented the silver and paper fans, Ye Zhao just sneered, it seems that he really regarded himself as the second ancestor.

was already looking for the cause of Liwei, but Chahasu, the brother-in-law of the Guangzhou general, was just right, and he even hit the muzzle.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Zhao dressed neatly and sat in the lobby, and ordered the soldiers to send Abu to see him.

"Order the right division of the yamen, raid the Juxian Pavilion, and verify the offender who opened the opium smoke house privately!" Ye Zhao's cold-faced edict startled Abu, he raised his eyes and secretly looked at Ye Zhao's face, then took two steps, and said in a low voice: "Master, can the master of the joints inside know?" ”

Ye Zhao frowned slightly: "Don't go to the order yet?" ”

Abu had a bottom in his heart, and then he couldn't help but gloat, this Chahasu relied on the power of his brother-in-law, and he always looked at the top, and his colleagues didn't pay attention to it, it seemed that he was arrogant and habitual, and he offended his master, and he should suffer a big loss.

However, thinking of the power of the Guangzhou general, the chilling black face, Abu's scalp was a little numb, he was afraid that the two tigers would fight, and in the end he was unlucky to wait for him to run errands below.

Why did Lord Tutong anger the Canton general? Abu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that this prince and brother didn't seem to have come to Guangzhou to talk about it, and he would definitely do something next.
