Chapter 62: Looking for a Helper

After the injuries on his feet were treated by Li Shinong, they all returned to normal, they could run and jump, and even exert their strength, so they had to be careful not to get the wounds, so the next day the four of them could go back to the Jinyi Wei Mansion to run errands, as for Bai Qi, he simply took leave. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, the four of them arrived at the Jinyi Wei Mansion, the commander of the envoy and the common office of the two fellow intellectuals.

Cao Zhuo crossed Erlang's legs and sat on the Taishi chair with a thoughtful expression.

Wang Cheng and Chen Long were guarding the door, but the hermit was sitting on a white chair, after all, there were only three chairs in the public house, and the other was reserved for Xu Maoshan, who had not returned for a long time.

Seeing that Cao Zhuo and Tianyinke did not speak, Wang Cheng and Chen Long both had a straight face, guarding the door, looking extremely serious, and the Jinyi guards performed their duties, unless there was any major case or major event, or transfer matters, they would ask the commander and the same knowledge for instructions, so no one came to look for trouble early in the morning.

Half an hour later, Cao Zhuo suddenly called Wang Cheng and Chen Long outside the door in and closed the door.

Then, he asked, "Do you know if there are any particularly powerful masters in the brocade guard?" Those who rise up in white don't want it. ”

Wang Cheng was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, is there a rough idea?" For example, where is the degree of this master? ”

"It's like fighting in all directions, it's okay to be a little worse than them." Cao Zhuo looked expectant.

Hearing the bloody battle, the hermit also became interested, looking at Wang Cheng and Chen Long.

After a while, Wang Cheng and Chen Long both shook their heads and said, "My lord, if there was really such a powerful person, he would not have come to be a brocade guard, and he would have gone to be the head of the caretaker of the high-ranking officials and nobles, or the general." ”

Cao Zhuo slapped his palm on the table and fell into a slap print, fortunately, there was nothing on his table, otherwise it would be scattered all over the place and Wang Cheng and Chen Long would have to clean it up.

Wang Cheng and Chen Long were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and the Heavenly Hermit was also frightened by Cao Zhuo, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Sitting back in his chair, Cao Zhuo snorted angrily again: "The hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, if you don't find some masters, you won't know how you will die sooner or later, especially those high-ranking officials have invited so many masters to be caretakers......

In this way, Cao Zhuo suddenly became chattering, and it seemed that he was really starting to worry; If it's really a master, then it's the only one I know - absolutely boring, the five masters and a group of others.

Thinking of this, the hermit turned on the communicator and contacted the absolute boredom, but ......

Still can't be reached.

Haven't they left the desert yet? Worry is worry, but I can't go into the desert again, and this time I will die there directly.

"It's better to invite some people from the rivers and lakes." Chen Long said suddenly.

The hermit is also bright-eyed, if it works, it would be good to leave a few places for them who are absolutely bored; But Cao Zhuo directly vetoed it, saying: "No, it is a trouble for them to enter the capital, and the cost of living in the capital alone is not small, and they can't afford to raise it." ”

"What cost?" The hermit suddenly asked.

"It is a fee set up by the Ministry of Households, approved by the imperial court, anyone who wants to live in the capital must pay one million gold per capitation, and then pay 100,000 gold per year, not only this, not only this, not the people in the capital, they must pay 50,000 gold every day when they enter the capital, just listening to this number I have a headache."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside: "Lord Tongzhi, Lord Langqu, the left attendant of the household department wants to see you." ”

Cao Zhuo almost didn't fall off the chair, and hurriedly said, "Just say I'm not there and tell him to come back another day." ”

The man at the door hesitated, trying to say something, but couldn't.

"Lord Cao, why don't you avoid the door? I'm right at the door. "It turned out that there was a person standing in the back.

Cao Zhuo wondered who this was? Where do you seem to hear the sound?

Seeing that the people outside were still knocking on the door, Cao Zhuo was stunned and didn't react, the hermit glanced at Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng ran over, and opened the door wide.

I saw a man in a red-robed official uniform with a refined face coming in; Cao Zhuo and the Sky Hermit both looked at him.

The person who came also glanced at the people in the room, and then said to Cao Zhuo: "Lord Cao, don't come unharmed?" ”

This...... Didn't you just talk to me at the city gate, Sanpin official? Why did you come in person?

Qu Cheng never thought that he would be so unwelcome, no one saluted and reluctantly forgot it, but he didn't even say a word of greeting, and he didn't have a chair, what is this?

Qiang smiled and said to Cao Zhuo: "I will discuss with you about the matter of your Jinyi Weitian Baihu, you see?" ”

Cao Zhuo stood up suddenly, asked Wang Cheng and Chen Long to go out to guard the door, and said to Qu Cheng with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Cheng, why did you come without notifying you." ”

Sweating, why did I come to you with my surname?

"The surname is Qu, Qu Cheng."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's the same, it's the same." Cao Zhuo walked to Qu Cheng's side, and then said, "Master Qu, if you have something, just send someone to inform you no?" I will definitely come to visit in person, why should you run and lie down in person? ”

Qu Cheng looked at Cao Zhuo directly, so that Cao Zhuo didn't dare to face him, he had been notified many times in the past month or so, but he didn't go to the household department, and now since people came to the door in person, he was always a little weak-hearted.

The hermit on one side, too, is also very strange, my business? What's the matter with me? It's the first time I've come to the capital, and I don't know anyone, right? Coming on a mission?

Tianyinke stood up and walked quickly to Qu Cheng's side and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Suddenly, Cao Zhuo and Qu CD felt that why those eyes were so eager? It's like discovering a treasure......

"It's about your household registration, so I'm here to ask Lord Cao for advice." Qu Cheng said with a smile.

Household registration questions? Cut, white rejoice.

Then, the hermit turned and sat back in his chair, ignoring the two of them.

Qu Cheng and Cao Zhuo were a little inexplicable, why were their reactions so different before and after?

It was Cao Zhuo who spoke first and said, "That, Tianbaihu, Master Qu has something to look for you, you can handle it yourself, I have something to do." ”

Cao Zhuo, who just wanted to leave, was grabbed by Qu Cheng.

"Brother Cao, if people want to ask you, you can say hello, Master Qu, I don't understand this." After hearing the words of the hermit, Cao Zhuo sweated violently.

Qu Cheng also chimed in and said, "That's it, Lord Cao, let's have a good talk, shall we?" ”

Looking at Qu Cheng's ill-intentioned smile, Cao Zhuo's scalp was numb, he shook off Qu Cheng's hand, walked back to his place and sat down, and said with a grin: "What's the matter, just say it." "A look of being slaughtered.

Who are these people? Anyway, I'm also a third-grade official, aren't people being cautious and flattering there? Why did you change when you got to Jinyiwei? And it's like this again and again, Xu Maoshan and Bai Qi in the past, and now Cao Zhuo and Tianyouke are added, this Jinyi Wei is really a master.

Qu Cheng sweated a little on his forehead.

Then, Qu Cheng said to Cao Zhuo with a straight face: "I believe you know very well my intentions, and I'm sure you don't have that much money, so how about I want to make a deal with you?" ”

Seeing Qu Cheng say inexplicable words, Tianyin Ke directly took a nap there and ignored them, Old Man Li told himself that the most important thing was to rest, so he couldn't let go of any time to rest.

However, Cao Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he said righteously: "Don't do anything that violates my personal principles." ”

"I want to be the head of the household."

Cao Zhuo looked at Qu Cheng blankly, this guy wants to be an official, he wants to be stupid, right? Although there is no problem with the left waiter of the household department, it also depends on the time, when will it be your turn to do the surname Qu?

"Although I am the left waiter of the household, but in the eyes of their Bai family father and son, I am nothing, and will only throw some chores to me to do, if he is also a secretary of the household when he is white, he will definitely arrange for his cronies to be the right waiter, and so on, I will die of old age in the position of the left waiter, I am unwilling, so I have to fight for this position while Bai Song is old, otherwise I will not be blind when I die." Qu Cheng gritted his teeth, as if he was going to swallow the Bai family's father and son alive.

Seeing his appearance, Cao Zhuo also knew a rough idea, it should have been bullied by the Bai family's father and son for too long, so it had a rebound effect, and then said: "Don't forget, the son of the old thief is also a Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, and his power is much greater than mine." ”

"That's why we have a common enemy, and I'm going to find you." A confident look.

Nerds are nerds, but Cao Zhuo has no choice, if he doesn't agree, it is estimated that Tianyinke will be driven out of the capital and transferred to other places on an errand.

"How do you want me to help you?"

Qu Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "As long as I catch the evidence of Bai Shi's greed for ink, I will naturally have a way to get him down." ”

The smile was particularly sinister, it seemed that the readers looked like this, Cao Zhuo also agreed to him directly, and after sending Qu Cheng away, he found that the hermit was really asleep.

This guy is really comfortable, when has it been?

After kicking the celestial hermit awake, Cao Zhuo took them to Jinyiwei's edict together.

At the gate of the Imperial Prison, Tianyinke smelled a large musty smell, and Wang Cheng next to him was very familiar with a wet towel, which was also scented with flowers, and Tianyinke nodded to him with satisfaction.

People who come to the edict for the first time will vomit in a mess, and that smell can really smoke people to death; Therefore, some towels will be prepared for Shangguan to cover his nose.

Looking at the piles of torture instruments in the prison, none of them were rusty, and all of them were stained with blood.

Cao Zhuo glanced at the empty cell a few times, and said to a jailer next to him, "What about your thousand households?" ”

The jailer was stunned, and said nothing, his face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating; It's really unlucky, why don't you ask, ask me? What do I have to say? Thousands of households in the edict are not on duty in the edict? If you say it, you will be killed in prison when the Lord of Qianhu comes back......

After waiting for so long, he didn't see the jailer answer, Cao Zhuo also knew something, and the topic changed and said, "How many prisoners are there in the prison?" ”

The jailer exhaled and replied respectfully, "There are only four hundred and seventy-two." ”

"That's it?" Cao Zhuo said in surprise.

"This, my lord, you don't know, if you come tomorrow, there will be fewer people, but please rest assured, the Lord of the Thousand Households has explained that the minimum number of three hundred people will be reserved." The jailer couldn't say why he was so many.

Cao Zhuo looked at the jailer with a strange expression and said, "Did you Qianhu receive any benefits?" Got people out? ”

"My lord." The jailer was happy in his heart, this was said by Lord Tongzhi himself, but I didn't say it.

Cao Zhuo snorted and continued: "Forget it, I want to find a few death row inmates to help, is there any more powerful?" ”

Terrible? The jailer was a little confused and asked, "My lord, do you want to pick flowers or steal chickens and dogs?" ”

With a poof, the Sky Hermit couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Zhuo Muran looked at this jailer, what does Lao Tzu want to do to pick flowers and steal chickens and dogs? Lao Tzu is not going to steal people.

"My lord? My lord? Seeing that Cao Zhuo didn't react, the jailer shouted a few times.

Cao Zhuo was full of black lines, and said sullenly: "Is there any martial arts that are relatively strong?" ”

The jailer smiled and said, "My lord, you are really joking, we who have been thrown into the edict will allow them to resist?" As soon as he knew martial arts entered the prison, the brothers directly killed him, how could he still keep it. ”

In the edict prison, the first greeting of martial arts; The flower pickers will only stay until there is no longer a greeting, and they will greet the flower pickers.

Cao Zhuo didn't say anything with a dark face, and turned his head to leave with the hermit and the others.

After coming out of the prison, Tianyinke threw the towel to Wang Cheng and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

"Bad luck, why are you so bad these days, why is everything not going well?" Cao Zhuo said angrily on the side.

Tianyinke smiled and said: "Brother Cao, don't worry so much, it's better for us to crack down on criminals a little, don't make too much trouble." ”

Cao Zhuo didn't even look at the hermit, and said: "No, it's not easy to deal with the person you have to deal with this time, if you don't want to end up like the bald donkey who framed you, you'd better recover all your martial arts." ”

Speaking of this, the hermit was also stunned, afraid in his heart, and then asked: "Brother Cao, you don't want to take revenge, right?" ”

Cao Zhuo was just about to answer, but the jailer just now ran out of the edict: "Lord Tongzhi, Lord Tongzhi." ”

Cao Zhuo and the four of them looked at the jailer who was panting.

"My lord, although I don't know if there are any people with strong martial arts in the edict prison, there is one who doesn't know if you are suitable for you."

"What kind of people?" Cao Zhuo was very interested.

"That guy, his bones are very hard, he has been in our edict for four years, we are stunned that he has not been killed, he has not resisted, and when he is tortured, he is also yelling and screaming like ordinary people."

Four years? Not dead yet? It's a miracle.

Cao Zhuo's face was full of joy, but the face of the hermit was incredible.

When the jailer took Cao Zhuo back to the prison, the hermit couldn't help but ask, "Do you greet him every day?" ”

"Yes, there is a small punishment every day, a big punishment in three days, and the punishment will be increased during the New Year's holidays, but he is not dead." Speaking of the jailer's dejected look, it seemed that he was killed because he did not greet him.
