In front of an inconspicuous tavern at the north end of Gaotou Street on the east side of the imperial city, Zhao Yan's carriage slowly stopped here, and then he jumped out of the carriage with Xue Wolf and looked up at this tavern, only to see that the wine flag at the door of the tavern said Huang Family's old shop, and the furnishings inside were also very ordinary, and it didn't look special.

At that moment, Zhao Yan stepped inside, and as soon as he entered the store, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man immediately stepped forward and greeted: "Guest officer, please, our small shop has all kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes, if you always want to eat something, just ask!" ”

"No need, Lao Huang asked me to come here, where is he now?" Zhao Yan asked directly, he knew that although this small shop looked ordinary, it was one of the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Division to listen to the news in the city, he asked Huang Wude to meet, and the other party asked him to come here.

When the young man heard Zhao Yan call the name "Lao Huang", he was also stunned at the time, and then reacted, and said with a more respectful expression: "Please inside the guest officer, Huang Chengcheng is waiting in the private room inside!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Yan followed the young man to the door of a private room, and then the young man knocked lightly on the door, which opened the door, and then let Zhao Yan and a few people in, and he himself gently closed the door and guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

As soon as Zhao Yan entered, he happened to see Huang Wude sitting there, and when he came in, the other party immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "The old slave has missed the distance, and I hope that the king of the county will forgive me!" ”

"Lao Huang, don't be polite, I have something to ask you for help today!" Zhao Yan sat down with a smile and said, he and Huang Wude were already very familiar. And the personal relationship with each other is also good, and you don't have to be too polite to speak, just cut to the topic.

"Hey, the king of the county, your word 'begging' can torment the old slave, if there is anything you can order!" Although Huang Wude knew that Zhao Yan was not formal, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he didn't dare to neglect Zhao Yan's etiquette at all.

"Hehe, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that this little brother next to me got into some trouble, and now he has nowhere to go. So I want him to get a job under you for a while. By the way, let him solve his own troubles. Zhao Yan smiled and pointed to Xue Wolf beside him, and then told him about his grievances with the Tiger Gang.

Huang Wude listened to Zhao Yan's narration with a smile on his face, his expression did not change from beginning to end, and after listening, he turned his head to look at Xue Wolf. Then he smiled and said, "Xue Wolf." His real name is Xue Ping. Originally from Xuejia Village, Xiangzhou, he has a sister Xue Ning'er, who encountered bandits in Xuejia Village back then. The whole village was slaughtered, your sisters and brothers came to the capital with more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters of the same clan to beg for a living, Xue Ning'er sold herself as a prostitute to support your younger brothers and sisters, and you secretly joined the Tiger Gang and became the number one henchman under Liu Laohu, I don't know if I'm right? ”

Xue Wolf heard Huang Wude's origin from the mouth, and the whole person immediately exuded a dangerous aura, and even Zhao Yan felt that what was standing next to him was not a person, but a real lone wolf, but Xue Wolf was a human being after all, not a wolf, and he also had his own reason, so he quickly suppressed his own impulse, nodded at Huang Wude and said: "What Huang Gong said is not bad at all, but I don't know where Huang Gong got these news?" ”

Huang Wude saw Xue Wolf's expression just now, and his face also showed a little interested expression, there were all kinds of people in the Imperial City Division in charge of him, but it was the first time he had seen such a person as Xue Wolf, and he also had a tentative mind at the moment, and replied to Xue Wolf's question: "This news is nothing, in addition, I also know that the young gang leader of the Tiger Gang was also killed by you, because this guy wanted to move your sister, so you killed him and threw him to the territory of the Bianhe Gang, in order to divert other attention, but unfortunately, These actions of yours have not escaped our eyes, and I can even sue you that Liu Laohu spent 100,000 yuan to buy this news from us! ”

"I'm rubbing, it turns out that you sold the news to Liu Laohu, I said, how could he suddenly know about the murderer of his son?" Zhao Yan was also surprised when he heard this, the spies of the Imperial City Division were everywhere, especially the wind and grass in Tokyo City, they couldn't escape their ears and eyes, plus the matter of the four gangs was too much trouble, no wonder Huang Wude would find out so clearly.

For Zhao Yan's surprise, Huang Wude explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, the county king, our Imperial City Division is no better than others, there are countless places to spend money, if it is only by the imperial court appropriation, I am afraid that we will starve to death, so since the time of Taizong, our Imperial City Division has been tacitly allowed to take on some private work, such as reselling some unimportant information, in exchange for money, but this kind of thing must be supervised by His Majesty to ensure that the money earned is spent in the right place." ”

Hearing that this kind of thing was tacitly approved by Zhao Shu and the previous emperors, Zhao Yan also had nothing to say, but in contrast, Xue Wolf, the direct victim, was very calm, glanced at Huang Wude and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Huang Gong of the Imperial City Division, I have heard before that as long as you have money and connections, you can buy some information from the Imperial City Division, but I didn't expect that I would be planted on this." ”

"Huh? You're not angry? Seeing Xue Wolf's calm reaction, Huang Wude couldn't help but ask with some surprise, even Zhao Yan felt a little strange, after normal people heard this, they should have some resentment towards the Imperial City Division, after all, it was precisely because the Imperial City Division betrayed the intelligence that he almost died in the hands of the Tiger Gang.

"Why are you angry, the Imperial City Division just made a normal deal, blame me for not being clean enough, otherwise if even the Imperial City Division doesn't know about my killing of Liu Biao, then I'll be fine?" Xue Wolf said very naturally, he is an extremely confident person, and if he has an accident doing something, he will not blame others.

When Zhao Yan and Huang Wude heard Xue Wolf's words, their expressions were a little weird, and Xue Wolf's words were not wrong, but for some reason it always made people feel a little awkward, and then looked at Xue Wolf's usual cold appearance, it seemed that his thoughts were really different from ordinary people.

"Lao Huang, you know more about Xue Wolf than I do, even if he fell to the point where he is now, it is because of your Imperial City Division, so today I will hand over Xue Wolf to you, as for how you arrange him, that's your business, anyway, you have to ensure his safety, if he has the ability to destroy the Tiger Gang, you don't want to stop it!" Zhao Yan said more confidently at this time, he originally planned to owe Huang Wude a favor, but he didn't expect that this matter was also related to the Imperial City Division, and now he had even more reason to let Huang Wude be in charge of Xue Wolf's affairs.

"Hehe, how dare the old slave not listen to the words of the county king, I will arrange for Xue Wolf to enter the Imperial City Division, as long as he puts on a layer of official skin, even if he gives that Liu Laohu a hundred guts, he will not dare to move Xue Wolf, and even worry about Xue Wolf's retaliation." Huang Wude also patted his chest at this time and said, just a Tiger Gang, in his eyes, is a group of ants, as long as he is willing, a word can make the Tiger Gang disappear from Tokyo, after all, no matter how powerful it is, can it still be bigger than the imperial court?

When Xue Wolf heard that he had been assigned to the Imperial City Division, his originally calm face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, compared to the small puddles of the Tiger Gang, the Imperial City Division was a real deep pool, as long as he had the ability, he would definitely be able to climb higher, and then he would be able to help his sister get out of the dirty place like the Qinglou.

Next, Zhao Yan chatted with Huang Wude for a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye, as for Xue Wolf, he handed it over to him, anyway, Huang Wude had agreed to arrange Xue Wolf to the Imperial City Division, as for the future, it will depend on Xue Wolf's own expression.

At the moment, Zhao Yan left Tokyo City in a carriage, it was a coincidence, when his carriage just came out of the city gate, it happened to be the moment when the city gate was closed, if it was a little later, I am afraid he could only spend the night in Kaifeng City, after all, the city gate is related to the safety of the entire Tokyo City, even if he is a county king, he has no right to order the soldiers guarding the city to open the door.

By the time Zhao Yan's carriage returned to the courtyard, it was completely dark, but he was not in a hurry to go back, but went to Shangshui Village first, and sent some wine and meat bought on the road to a few officials who lived temporarily in Zhuangzi, these officials were sent by the previous dynasty to guard Zhuangzi, and the result was really good, those thieves saw that Shangshui Village was guarded by officials, most of them did not dare to come again, and a few dared to venture forward, but after being caught, they were tortured for a few days before being thrown outside Zhuangzi, and as a result, after these people were rescued, Immortality has also become a disability, which frightened the remaining thieves a lot, and few thieves dared to come at night.

It was also to see those officials working so hard, so Zhao Yan deliberately bought dozens of catties of mutton when he came back, and there were also ten jars of good wine, which was regarded as a reward for those officials, after all, people didn't sleep every night, braved the cold wind to guard in the Zhuangzi, although the yamen gave them money, but Zhao Yan couldn't treat the other party too badly, these wine and meat were used to warm up their bodies at night.

After sending the wine and meat, Zhao Yan left Shangshui Village and returned to the other courtyard in the thanks of several officials, it was already past dinner time, but Cao Ying left him a meal, because she knew that Zhao Yan didn't like to live outside, and went home almost every night, which was also Cao Ying's most satisfied point with Zhao Yan, in contrast, the men in other aristocratic families lived outside at every turn, leaving their wives alone in the empty room, compared with them, Zhao Yan was simply a peerless good husband.

Seeing that the dishes that Cao Ying had left for himself were still hot, Zhao Yan was also moved in his heart, and ate it in a big gulp, Cao Ying looked at it with a smile on the side, and waited until Zhao Yan had eaten dinner, Cao Ying smiled and said: "My husband is not at home this afternoon, my grandfather and the ancient doctor of Zhilu have made a request, but this request cannot be asked for by others!"
