Li Hanyao and Hu Qingfeng looked at each other, fortunately they were prepared.

A few people walked over, and the forbidden army guarding the city gate saw that Feng'er Yu'er was each holding a big burden, and shouted: "Open the burden!" ”

The two girls hurriedly opened their burdens.

The forbidden army looked through it, but there were only a few pieces of clothing, most of which were men's, and then glanced at Li Hanyao, who was dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, with a long body and jade face, clear and elegant, empty-handed, and even the horse was led by his entourage, so he knew that it was the master, and waved his hand.

Hu Qingfeng also opened his baggage, in addition to clothes, there was actually a large bag of heavy, white silver. The forbidden army's eyes froze slightly. Hu Qingfeng hurriedly smiled and said, "Hard work military master." He slipped a silver ingot from under his sleeve and gave it to him. The forbidden soldier glanced at him, took it casually, slipped into his sleeve, and waved his hand.

In addition to clothes, Hu Qiya's backpack also has a few boxes of snacks; Lei'er's burden is even more miscellaneous, and even the pot for boiling water in the field is also a heavy bag.

The forbidden army has flipped over, and it has all passed.

When they entered the city, they were all relieved.

Li Hanyao looked around the street, and her mood couldn't help but be excited—this is the place where the emperors of all dynasties and dynasties have sitting. She had the feeling of a country man going into the city. She is like this, not to mention Hu Qiya and the others, her two eyes are too busy to see.

Only Hu Qingfeng pretended to be calm.

Hu Qingfeng saw that it was almost noon, and discussed: "Childe, let's find a place to live first." ”

Li Hanyao nodded and said, "Go to Dezheng Road." ”

She is currently holding Hao Fan's identity, quite wealthy, living too cold and strange, if you go to the imperial city where the powerful gather, it is even more strange, Dezheng Road, Desheng Road This generation is a prosperous place, close to the Kyoto government, living here is in line with her identity as a businessman, and it is convenient to inquire about things.

found an inn to live in, Li Hanyao instructed: "There is no need to arrange food, wait for me to freshen up, let's go out to eat." ”

Hu Qingfeng said, "Yes, son." ”

At that moment, Li Hanyao went to the guest room to tidy up her appearance, and then came out to meet Hu Qingfeng and others, and went to the street for a meal.

After dinner, she instructed Hu Qingfeng and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to go to the outer city, and she took Hu Qiya in the inner city and wandered separately. is so assigned, firstly, Hu Qiya can protect her, and secondly, there are some things that are temporarily inconvenient for the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to know.

This visit is three days.

In three days, Li Hanyao took a look at the six imperial court departments around the imperial city, the mansions of the magnates on Chang'an Avenue and Zhuque Street.

In the evening, I returned to the inn and drew a map.

The same is true for Hu Qingfeng's side.

The four of them, not only because of their good martial arts skills and quick response, but also because their ability to recognize the road and make maps was outstanding among hundreds of people, so they had to be reused.

On the fourth day, Hu Qingfeng and others returned, and Li Hanyao put together the map of the inner city and the outer city, and suddenly the topography of the capital was clear.

She had the ability to never forget, plus she drew the map herself, and after the mapping was completed, it was already engraved in her mind. She told the others to memorize as much as they could, and then destroy the map so that no one would find out and be suspicious.

Next, she bought a house and a shop on Dezheng Road; Then go to the government office to register; He also invited the clerks and the head of the yamen to eat and drink, saying that she was from Jiangnan, and now she has purchased a property and done business in the capital, and she will rely on you to take care of her in the future.

Hu Qingfeng even presented a silver thank-you gift.

The scribe and the head of the squad saw that this Hao Gongzi was so interested, and they heard that she had a lot of family assets, and she would be indispensable in the future, and she was willing to make friends.

The two sides pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and Li Hanyao took the opportunity to inquire about the news from them, such as: who is the current prefect of Kyoto, what is the family background, the details of the officials below the prefect, etc., "Since you are doing business in the capital, you must not be disrespectful." ”

Then, the topic gradually turned to the court.

……

After a meal of wine and dinner, coupled with the rumors he had heard in the restaurant and tea shop and the market in the past few days, Li Hanyao finally figured out the situation in the capital.

In addition, she learned:

The prefect of Kyoto is surnamed Yin Mingheng, who is the nephew of the current queen mother, and the current emperor is a cousin, who has taken over the prefect of Kyoto since the emperor ascended the throne.

Yin Heng's henchman is the famous criminal master Luo Yan.

The hottest minister of the Son of Heaven in the court is Lu Chang. Speaking of this Lu Chang is really eye-catching, the official position is not high, but he won the champion and was awarded the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, but he served in front of the Son of Heaven every day, and stayed in the palace for more days than in the Hanlin Academy, and he was more faceless than many court veterans, and the limelight was stronger than Wang Heng and Liang Xinming back then, he was an upstart, and his future was limitless.

Li Hanyao decided to worship the upstart first.

She handed over the prayer note to the Lu family.

Then, head back to the inn and wait.

After Hu Qingfeng heard about it, the image of a calm and elegant cattle dealer suddenly collapsed, and he was about to shout when he jumped to his feet, and then remembered something, glanced at the door, afraid of being heard, and lowered his voice and scolded: "You are not...... Didn't you say that day, looking for the emperor is a meat bun and beating a dog, how can you dare to go to the surname Lu? ”

Li Hanyao said: "He is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven." "He is also a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and he is the main person she is looking for when she enters Beijing this time!

Hu Qingfeng said: "This is seeking skin with the tiger!" ”

It's like a sheep's mouth!

Li Hanyao said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" ”

Hu Qingfeng couldn't resist her, so he softened his voice and persuaded bitterly: "Good young master, if you are exposed, how can I explain to the master?" Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. We don't have to take that risk. Isn't it good to take it one step at a time? "It's better to go to Emperor Jiaxing, no matter what, Emperor Jiaxing wants to accept Li Hanyao, and this can be used; Lu Chang is harboring evil intentions.

Li Hanyao was determined not to change her mind.

Hu Qingfeng couldn't, and waited with a hanging heart.

originally thought that Lu Chang would not see her easily, but only one day later, the next evening, after Lu Chang left the palace, he called someone to pass Li Hanyao to the house.

Hu Qingfeng was surprised, very curious about what Li Hanyao wrote on the post, how could it be so easy to impress Lu Chang?

asked Li Hanyao, Li Hanyao didn't say.

Hu Qingfeng was helpless, and ordered Hu Qiya to go with Li Hanyao, and he must protect her.

The two came to the Lu Mansion.

It is said to be a house, but the house in Sanjin, compared to the mansions in the capital with layers of courtyards, continuous houses, and undulating gardens, is really cold, but it is very lively in front of this cold door, crowded with many cars and horses.

This is the front door, and the same goes for the back door.

These people are all here to meet Lu Chang. Seeing that the situation in the court has changed greatly, those who are timid and afraid of things are afraid of affecting themselves, and those who tend to be inflammatory, and those who are bold want to speculate in the chaos, so they all come to Lu Chang to burn incense; In addition, Lu Chang has not yet married, which has caused the family with a daughter to be delusional, hoping that he will be the son-in-law of the East Bed, and send a matchmaker to propose marriage, and all kinds of people will gather, but it will not be like a market! And then all of them were blocked, along with the gifts that were given.

At this moment, Li Hanyao calmly entered.

Everyone stared at her back and whispered, not knowing who she was, but she could be favored by Lu Chang, and after asking around, they didn't know her.
