Led Lao Huo to apply the wound medicine, the new Qianhu has not come down yet, but Neixi City is one of the more important guards in the entire Beijing Division, and this time there is an extra vacancy, I am afraid that it will be enough for someone to break their heads to fight.

When Liu Chengfeng and Lao Huo returned to the guard, the rewards in the palace and the waist cards and documents of the hundred households were also distributed, and the previous Wang Si official saw him and put on a flattering smile, while inviting Liu Chengfeng to sit down in the signing room, he carefully poured tea for Liu Chengfeng, and said: "Lord Baihu, the commander has already given an order, and your hundred households are still hanging on the side of the Inner West City, please Liu Baihu take a look. ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Secretary Wang, didn't hurry to take the roster first, and said with a smile: "Secretary Wang is so enthusiastic, it's really unconventional." ”

The official immediately became embarrassed and apologized: "My lord, if you have offended anything before, please forgive me." ”

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "That's it, I won't mention the past." ”

Wang Si was frightened into a cold sweat, and Liu Chengfeng began to look at the roster, although he is a hundred households, but there are not many people under it, only sixty-three people, and these are all transferred from each hundred households, most of the personnel are good and bad, fortunately, Liu Chengfeng will not pick fat and thin, the seriousness of Jinyiwei does not rely on force, but the Jinchun knife on their body and waist, ordinary people see the captain wearing a flying fish suit and a Jinchun knife, who dares to disagree?

However, the area under the jurisdiction of Liu Chengfeng is in the vicinity of Taixue, there are just three streets on the side of Taixue, mainly selling some books, literature and ink and other businesses, and there is a prosperous place in the outermost area, called Fireworks Hutong, this fireworks alley is as its name suggests, it is the most advanced ** hall gathering place in the capital, I heard that there are countless dignitaries and nobles who come and go, and the high-rollers who spend a lot of money are like carp across the river, Liu Chengfeng has heard people mention this place when he set up a word stall, but it was shabby at the time, and he only knew that there were fresh clothes and angry horses, It is a gathering place for the rich, and ordinary people go, and they may not be able to enter the gate of the Qing Pavilion if they take a year's faith.

Liu Chengfeng thought to himself: "This is a good place. After that, the royal official smiled quietly and said, "Call all the people in this roster, and I will order it myself." By the way, there is one more thing, this time Lao Huo's contribution in the Guozi Prison is not small, didn't the commander send a word from the Lord to reward him? ”

Although Lao Huo is timid and afraid, he gritted his teeth today and refused to plant Liu Chengfeng's friendship, Liu Chengfeng remembered it, in Liu Chengfeng's impression, although Lao Huo was honest, but he was the most trustworthy, Liu Chengfeng had no reason not to ask him for a reward.

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Captain Huo is naturally meritorious, and most of the Zhenfu Division is also discussing, and a small flag can't always run." ”

Liu Chengfeng knew that it was not easy to be promoted, and he was promoted to three levels in a row because of the emperor's will, but in the interior of the guard, he would not issue a promotion reward so quickly, especially now that the brocade guard was already divided, to balance everyone's interests, there would be no appointment in ten days and half a month.

Liu Chengfeng knew that he couldn't ask a priest anything, so he waited with Lao Huo in this signing room, and the secretary Wang summoned the captain, what happened just now was really thrilling for Lao Huo, like a roller coaster, he fell into hell all of a sudden, and then ascended to heaven all of a sudden, and he has not eased up until now.

Liu Chengfeng saw his stunned appearance, and didn't say anything to him, Lao Huo was excited, why wasn't he excited? Not long ago, he was a son-in-law who everyone looked down on, but now, he finally seized the opportunity and had a mentor who was a waiter, became a brocade guard, and even had a flying fish suit from the royal gift. The down-and-out scholar in the past has now become a not small figure in the Beijing Division, and this feeling of holding the future and future in his own hands is really comfortable to the extreme.

Liu Chengfeng drank a few sips of tea before he calmed down, and the Wang priest had already returned, and said, "My lord, the captains have arrived." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, and went out with Lao Huo, there were already a lot of crooked melons and cracked jujube captains outside the thousand households, all of whom were the same color of clothes, wearing Jinchun knives, and when they saw Liu Chengfeng coming out, they didn't seem positive, they were all casual and sparse and reluctantly saluted Liu Chengfeng, and said, "I've seen a hundred households." ”

Liu Chengfeng saw it in his eyes, and the pride in his stomach was immediately dispelled. He glanced at these people and noticed that these lieutenants were all full of complaints, as if Liu Chengfeng owed them money.

Liu Chengfeng coughed and said a few words to them, it was nothing more than to do a good job in the future, so he sent them all away, and then pulled Lao Huo aside and said: "Lao Huo, you are familiar with the things up and down the guard, let me ask you, why do those captains look lazy?" ”

Liu Chengfeng is a little blind to the affairs of the guard, and he still knows some things like compilation, but he doesn't understand many of the unspoken rules in the guard. Lao Huo is different, although he has been doing nothing all his life, he has stayed for a long time after all, and he knows a lot of things.

Lao Huo cheered up and said, "Brother Liu...... Lord Liu, this matter is actually a matter of course. Adults know that there are a lot of oil and water in the hundreds of households in our inner Xicheng, such as Zhao Baihu near the Xici Hutong, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in the oil and water from the merchants every year. As for the other hundred households, most of them are like this, some are fewer, but they are not much less. Because of this, our inner west city, the life of the captain is the best. But ......."

Lao Huo deliberately paused for a moment, sold a pass, and said: "But the neighborhood of Guozijian is different, not to mention that there are few streets and alleys under the jurisdiction here, except for Guozijian, there are three long streets, and those neighborhoods that sell literature and ink and books are all small businesses, and most of them are run by scholars, and they can't even get a thousand taels a year." The captains of our hundreds of households are all transferred from all around, and there are dozens or hundreds of taels every month anyway, but when it comes to the hands of adults, they can only sit and eat empty, without oil and water, relying on salaries alone, how can everyone live? It's mostly because of this, so everyone is angry. ”

Liu Chengfeng listened to Lao Huo's words carefully, and seemed a little unaccustomed to Lao Huo calling him an adult, but he didn't correct Lao Huo. Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Isn't there a fireworks alley?" It was one of the most lively places in the capital, and the oil and water were the most abundant, and even if a hair was plucked from there, it would be enough to feed them. ”

Lao Huo's face changed, and he said: "My lord, I don't know, the fireworks alley is different from other places, in other places, our Jinyiwei can still intervene, but the fireworks alley is not something that Jinyiwei can eat, think about it, how many rich officials are there?" Behind those big ** halls, which one or two people are not watching? In addition, it is constantly the category of the East Factory, and the East Factory can get some oil and water, as for our Wei ......" Lao Huo smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "It's not as good as before, when Emperor Chengzu was here, our Jinyi Wei covered the sky with one hand, and since then, the first emperors of the past dynasties have ascended the throne, and there is finally a little bit of prestige, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, it is not our turn to have a little oil and water, and the captain in the guard has no problem wearing a flying fish suit to scare and scare ordinary people, but there are more wealthy families than dogs in this Beijing Division, If you are not careful, you will kick it on the iron plate, especially in places like Fireworks Alley, which must not be touched. ”

Liu Chengfeng then understood that the fireworks alley is an iron plate, Jinyiwei has been unsatisfactory over the years, and the benefits and oil and water have been taken up by the fans of the East Factory, so although he has taken office, he still has to eat the northwest wind, there is no money in his hands, there is no oil and water to fish, not to mention that he will be despised, even these people are lazy, after all, everyone has to beg for a living, and they all have wives and children, and they really rely on the salaries in the guard to eat and die of hunger so much that they can no longer die. Now everyone has come to Liu Chengfeng to do things, but they have to watch their wives and children hungry, and no one has the heart to serve loyally.

Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "What if we come and kick this iron plate?" ”

Lao Huo listened to Liu Chengfeng's words, his face turned green with fright, and said: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible, more than ten years ago, there were also hundreds of households who wanted to take food from the mouth of Dongchang, but it was not taken by the fans?" was half dead, and he was exiled for 3,000 miles for a crime! Fanzi is different from the school captain, they are people in the palace, we robbed them of oil and water, wouldn't we take food from the fathers-in-law in the palace? ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "I'm joking." But he thought in his heart: If you don't rob other people's oil and water, then you can only send people under the fence for the rest of your life, look at people's faces, and be crushed to death forever.
