Within half a mile of the Qin Mission, martial law was imposed at night, and Fu Heng's Chinese army was stationed. At this time, the lights in the camp had long been turned off, and the cemetery was as silent, leaving only an alley leading to West Street, and a beige watermelon lamp with the word "Fu" written on it was hung every three zhang. Under the lamp, two lines of guard sentries were five feet away, standing motionless as if they were wooden stakes. There were only two guerrilla pipe bands patrolling, and when they saw that it was Fu Heng who came out, they stepped forward and gave a military salute, and took a step back to make way. Fu Heng didn't say a word, bowed slightly, and walked out of the alley, before turning around and smiling at a few people: "Taisu killed, the soldiers are really dangerous, it's true - when I was young, I was a minister of scattered ranks, I loved poetry, music and music, Fang Bao Lemin, Yin Yuanchang, these Xiushi literati are all close friends." Now the past has long been like smoke, and it is helpless to let go of the flowers - now come to send troops and horses, pay attention to crawling and rolling! People, it's incredible......" Several people laughed when they heard it, and said in Xian Yugong: "I have read the adult's "Water Pavilion Poems", well-'I came to swim in Baisha, and Xu Xing walked without a trace. It is also said that foraging gulls, and guests should not be suspicious of the "......" frozen river green jade belt, caressing through the fingers and cooling'...... How elegant and tranquil it is, and how leisurely and elegant! ”

"Forget everything!" Fu Heng shook his hand again and again and smiled, "Now don't say it's a gull bird, even if you meet a crane, you can't care about having fun with it!" I can't believe you've read my fawning work! Xian Yu Gong said: "The poetry style of adults spreads at home, chasing the style of Changgu, which reader doesn't love it?" "Water Pavilion Poems", "Canglang Night Tales", "Yongzhai Tea", "Candle Cutting Collection", ...... "He is really familiar with it, and he has listed all the works of Fu Heng in the workshop, and even carried the commentary on his back, and the tired Fu Heng's footsteps were much lighter when he heard it.

A few people walked casually, laughed and talked, and before they knew that they had passed through three streets and arrived at the Guanzhang Ancestral Hall. Although the name here is called "ancestral hall", in fact, the hall only occupies a small area due north, it is rumored that it is the point military school field of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, and later the population gradually denses, it has become the market place in the center of the city, the shop hall is built around the field, the day market is full of 36 lines, and the night market also comes into being. Every night, as long as it is not windy and rainy, it not only sells fruit and dim sum and all kinds of snacks such as dumplings, fried buns, sour plum soup, baked cakes, wontons, cross-bridge rice noodles, gouache and cold skin, roast chicken and braised pork...... There are all kinds of things, as well as calligraphy and paintings, jade, old books, tablets, cigarettes, material utensils, cigarette bottles, small paintings of record books, silk, porcelain, flowers and trees, jewelry, real and false antiques, etc., which are densely packed on more than 20 acres of empty field. The night market is crowded with people rolling back and forth along the alleys surrounded by cramped small street stalls, and the sound of bargaining, the hawkers shouting loudly and lowly, and the hoarse singing and selling voices are noisy. Fu Heng started in the early hours of the morning, read the paperwork, took care of military affairs, and the messages transferred from the military aircraft from various places, took a nap at noon, and resumed the meeting in the afternoon, reading the letters from Agui Jiyun and Yin Jishan, closed in a room and almost did not move. Look at the Qin bricks and Han tiles on this stall, flip through the inscriptions and calligraphy paintings on that stall, and even those who sell eye medicine, bone-setting medicine, and Baibu Strength Enhancement Pills are also lively and listen to it with great interest. Everyone walked with him and talked casually to entertain the time, Jin Hui also bought a few knives of southern paper, and even the Xue Tao notes and Song Mo things that Fu Heng bought were packed in Xiao Qizi's purse, and they wandered around one by one.

Before they knew it, a group of five people had wandered to the northeast corner of the scene. Compared with the pavilions and shops surrounded by rows and rows on the west, south and east, the Guanzhang ancestral hall in the west appears small and dark, standing on a high point on the platform, and silently confronting a large area of prosperity and chaos in the south. Under the faint shadow of the lamp, I can see the four big characters of "no Wei Wu in the eyes" on the dark plaque, mixing the grass that grows along the perimeter of Taiwan this spring and the withered grass that went to the yellow of the last year. Perhaps because this temple has a general cold and desolate atmosphere, the south side of the ancient school field is a hot and noisy market, but to the north is another style. The reed sheds are all teahouses with font sizes, playing strings and telling stories, talking about cross talk, playing Sichuan and flirting, measuring words and playing hexagrams, swallowing swords and breathing fire, playing recklessly, and kicking bell flags. Between the stays, singing here and talking there, it is dizzying. Suddenly, there was a round of applause and applause in the northwest, Fu Heng opened his eyes to look, and there was a large field surrounded by lights, the hoovebells in the middle of the field were pleasant, a horse galloped around the field, and immediately a woman stepped on her back and spread her arms, spinning in the field like a marquee-it turned out to be a group of people who were playing circus. Fu Heng smiled and beckoned to a few people behind him: "Look and see!" Jin Hui was walking towards a tea shed when he heard a hurried over.

The horses in the pen were still galloping around the field. At this time, when I got closer, I could see that it was an old man, two young and three men in Mongolian costumes. On the shelves next to them hung sabers, bows and arrows, spears, ropes and other things. A circle of gray lines around the field defined the crowd of onlookers, and those who approached the circle sat cross-legged and watched, and the inner circle of the three-foot-wide horse road was nailed to the ground with arm-thick stakes, the top of which was less than two feet above the ground, but they did not know what to do. Look at the girl on the horse, she is also in Mongolian attire, cowhide riding boots and black robe, sometimes upside down and splitting on the horse, sometimes the harrier turns over, and the saddle is rotated flat with one hand...... It's even more stable than the ordinary juggling performance on the ground. People were stunned. The woman was about to become independent, and suddenly she missed, and the upside-down onion fell straight down, and the audience, who was already sweating with their palms, couldn't help but exclaim "ah"! Fu Heng's heart couldn't help but tighten suddenly, and he couldn't make a sound, and he was shocked to see the woman kicking the stirrup with her right foot, hooking the saddle with her left foot, grabbing the mane with one hand, and pulling the bow and arrow along the frame with the other.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The people who watched the horse performance were stunned and stupid at first, but only then did they come back to their senses, and immediately there was a burst of applause. Brother Tong'er made money and threw it into the field like raindrops. Fu Heng Jinhui is a person who often patrols the school to observe martial arts competitions, and it is unheard of for arrows to shoot like this; Such an accurate head - Zhou Zai is a crowded person, no matter which arrow misses slightly? ——It's a pegasus shot out under the dark night light again, such an amazing courage in the art industry is really incredible, and I can't help but be shocked. Jin Hui leaned into Fu Heng's ear and asked, "Don't be an illusion, a trick, right?" ”

"Categorically not! This is a real skill. Fu Heng watched the woman roll into the saddle and get off the horse to thank the field, the old and the young let the people cheer and applaud, and they didn't hug their fists and thank them, so they silently set up a frame and pulled the rope, wanting to perform rope skills. Suddenly, twenty years ago in Shijiazhuang to see the rope skills, to see Juanjuan under the moon sword dance a part of the past came to mind, the light under the cursive sword dance poems, the camel on the camel peach forest bursts of colorful red...... It had been so long since he had passed, and there was only a faint red memory left, and now he was suddenly very close, and his face turned pale...... Look at the woman again, but sixteen or seventeen years old, she has taken off the robe that covers the outside, the trousers and short gown are all silver-red, a green ribbon is tied around the waist, slender and Tingting, and she is a juanjuan, but her complexion is slightly darker, and the tips of her two thin eyebrows are slightly raised, with a wild atmosphere unique to Mongolian girls. Is it the swan that flew from the prairie? Korqin, Hulunbuir, Wendur or Nibuhr? ”

The girl didn't expect that there were still people in this place who could speak Mongolian, so she looked Fu Heng up and down with a puzzled gaze, her eyes glowed with joy, and she bowed deeply to Fu Heng: "We are from distant Chechnya. Uncle, which prince's subordinate are you? How did you get here in such a big sky? Fu Heng smiled and said: "I am from Manchuria, and my mother and grandmother flew to Bogda Khan from Mobei Mongolia. My name is Fu Heng, people call me Lao Heng, and I come here to do tea business. ”

"That's great! I didn't expect to meet Mongolian relatives here! She clapped her hands and said, "Lao Heng! My name is Chimpa Shama[1]

。 Abba, Abba! Here are our loved ones! The old man had already heard that his wrinkled face like a walnut shell came with a smile, and he saluted with his hands and said, "Friend, what a pleasure to see relatives here!" My name is Chimba Choso! ”

"Lao Heng." Fu Heng introduced himself again and returned the salute with a smile, "In the words of the Han people, this is called meeting the old acquaintance in another country." Chechnya is thousands of miles away from here, and it is not easy for you. ”

"Yes, friend—it's hard."

"Passing through Khalkha?"

"And the Altai Mountains?"

"So-back to the ministry, Huo Jizhan also came over?"

"Of course, but we have horses."

Fu Heng also asked why they floated here alone when the whole country of Chechnya migrated and had been settled on the steppe south of Nibuhr, but the audience on the field saw that the rope frame was set up, and they were impatient, clapping their hands and urging, so they said goodbye with a smile: "I have a home in Chengdu now, and you are welcome to come to me as a guest. My servant will come to you. He nodded to Sharma again and turned away. This Mongolian conversation was full of muttering, no one could understand it, and after walking far away, I heard someone say behind his back, "It turns out that this man is also a Tartar", Fu Heng didn't pay attention to it, and turned south around the side of the platform, without saying a word.

"Big-Lao Heng," Jin Hui walked beside him, and when he saw Fu Heng's expression under the bright and dark lights, he couldn't help but ask, "What did that woman say?" You seem to have something on your mind......"

"Huh? Hmm...... Fu Heng woke up in a trance, took out his pocket watch and looked at the lamp, and his eyes were so dazzled that he couldn't see the long and short needles. Xiao Qizi looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "Master, the short needle is on the two bars (11 o'clock)!" - Let's go back, the night market is going to disperse. Fu Heng pointed to a three-storefront snack bar and said with a smile: "Let's go, eat something!" Then he said to Xiao Qizi: "You go and tell the old Mongolian man who just talked to me, don't tell us who we are, just ask them which store they live in, tomorrow you go to pick them up, I want to talk to them." Xian Yugong and Zhang Chengyou, who accompanied him, looked at each other and smiled, thinking to themselves: This handsome man has been away for a long time, could it be that he has the heart of Sichun and falls in love with that Mongolian girl? Seeing that Jin Hui had already entered with Fu Heng, he hurriedly followed. At this time, the flow of people has thinned out, scattered and scattered, and the vendors have begun to collect their stalls.

The snack bar was about to close, and the last few customers left their seats and came out in a mess. The boss's eyes were extremely short-sighted, and he almost scratched the abacus with his face against the account book, and commanded: "Xiao Cai'er cleaned up the dishes and dishes, and asked your mother to wipe the table and sweep it." Tell your mother, soak the remaining bean sprouts in a basin of water, and let them dry and burn the roots[2]

Even if you throw it away, ......" heard footsteps coming in, stared at it for a long time, and got up to meet it with a smile on his face, "Oops! It's a few regular customers who come to my little shop! This morning and evening, you old people are so interested, please sit at this table...... you, make tea! Wipe the table with a rag! Then I heard a very loud voice in the kitchen inside, and the woman agreed in a loud tone: "Hey, hey, here, here!" A woman in her fifties, chubby and solid, with a freshly washed rag on her shoulder, a stack of tea bowls in one hand and a handheld pot, but she is very talkative, putting the pot and putting the bowl on the table, making tea with a bowl, and constantly saying: "What do the bosses want to use?" There are mapo tofu, spicy chicken, red pepper fried lamb tripe, green leek mandarin fish spring rolls, mustard cucumber powder shredded that is the freshest ...... At first glance, a few of you are blessed people, and if you are an official, you are not a petty official, and you will definitely make a fortune! If it weren't for this hour, I wouldn't have to come to my little shop to eat—Cai'er, make the stove more prosperous! ”

"You said we didn't intervene, how can we order food?" Jin Hui smiled. Fu Heng said: "I'm busy all day long, and I feel happy when I hear such words." Pick up a few delicious things at will, and call your boss to sit and talk! The fat woman smiled and said, "Our boss can't get a fart out of three feet, and it's a wooden peg to call him over." Xiao Caizi first served a few plates of cold vegetables, fresh cucumber mustard vermicelli, pickled mustard slices, lotus vegetables, and beef tendon plates cut a little thinner - be careful not to cut your hands! I can't do anything in this store. My shopkeeper is an old wronged student, he only won a show talent at the age of thirty, he took the sixth class exam three times, and he also ate twenty boards of teachings-" As he spoke, he sat on Fu Heng's right side, holding a pot in his hand to refill the water, "Eat tea, eat tea!" - Eat the board and pick up the fame, or hold a Confucius all day long, once he read what Huangzi 'cut is not right and does not eat', and what is 'not tired of eating, not tired of fine and fine', I said you love to eat so much, let's open a restaurant! She chuckled and leaned back, causing Fu Heng and the four of them to laugh happily. The boss turned a deaf ear, his face was on the table, and he didn't know whether to read the account book or the book. The woman smiled and said, "He didn't want to open a restaurant, saying that 'a gentleman is poor' and a 'Qingyun Zhi'—and later told my son that he was a daughter-in-law, and that the right family was a scholarly family." On the day of the meeting, when the two parents met, how could I see that the two old men had eaten chicken feet and coptis-grinning so much, saying, 'Huh! The gentleman also had a common face and said, 'Huh! What kind of etiquette is this? When I looked back and asked, it turned out that the two of them took the sixth class exam together, and they were old friends who met when they ate the board together! ”

Fu Heng didn't swallow a mouthful of water, and choked out with a "poof". Jin Hui Xian Yu Gong and Zhang Chengyou held on to the table and laughed so hard that they fell and pounded their chests. Xiao Qizi just came in, and when he saw Fu Heng coughing on the table with one hand, he hurriedly came over to beat him on the back. The boss said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", picked up the book and went into the back room. Fu Heng sat in the hall all day long, did not talk to mortals, saw Qianlong Weiwei, met his subordinates and talked about it, for a long time I was not really interesting in the world, I was amused by this woman's words, and when I saw the cold dishes on the table, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Qizi and said: "Take a piece of silver!" Seeing Xiao Qizi touching, he took out a piece of silver from his coat with his own hands, which was five taels, and pushed it to the proprietress and said, "Reward you." Don't heat the dish, if there is any good dim sum, and then a bowl of soup for one person, lighter, tofu brain, seaweed soup or chicken skin sour bamboo shoot soup are all made. - What's your boss's name? ”

"Thank you! Your old man is kind and kind-eyed, merciful to the poor and compassionate, and has set a day to enter the golden family full of descendants! The proprietress was so happy that she hurriedly left her seat and squatted Fu'er to salute, "People call me a fast-talking Jin." Our old man is called 'Xiucai Jin Family', but in fact, the official name is Jin Hui. ”

Several people were stunned, and then burst into laughter. Jin said: "The ranking master must be Xiao and Jin Dazhongcheng have the same name and surname - they are rich and noble, and the gold shines." Last time, I quarreled with the old man and said: You are surnamed Jin, and if you don't have Jin, you will be poor! - There is no comparison, the gold turns to ashes as soon as it reaches your hands! The crowd laughed again. The son of the Jin family has already brought five bowls of rotten eggs with a plate of noodles, a large plate of scallion pancakes that are burnt yellow and fragrant, a plate of xiaolongbao, and a plate of bamboo shoots, melons, and gourd shreds sticking to the pot. The young man didn't say much, he spread them one by one, and whispered: "The goosebump sour bamboo shoot soup will be available in a while." What kind of bar do you guys use? Fu Heng pointed at the three of them and said with a smile: "They can use it, it's the old Sichuan cellar aged wine." I'll use this sweet wine to scoop up the eggs. Jin Hui smiled: "What are the rules and taboos here, just use less ideas to refresh your mind and relieve your fatigue." Xian Yugong had already poured a cup with both hands, Fu Heng smiled and poured it into the soup bowl, but said to Jin: "You are better than Jin Dazhongcheng, Jin Dazhongcheng is now unlucky!" - You drink, go to the table over there, get some food too, don't stand here to behave. - Lady, you can also drink a bowl. "I've already eaten, and I can't use the wine." Jin said with a smile, "Speaking of Master Jinzhong, we Sichuan people are sorry for him!" The official is so big, he often sits in a small sedan chair carrying bamboo silk by two people when he goes out, rides a donkey to the countryside to see the crops, and talks with the old man who watches the melon and the water seller who pushes the cart. ”

Jin Hui laughed at first, but unexpectedly, the topic suddenly came to himself, listening to Jin's comment, his heart was sour, and he almost fell into tears, and picked up the wine glass and said to Xian Yugong Zhang Youcheng: "Drink!" "A touch of it. Fu Heng smiled and took a sip of soup and said, "I've heard that Jin Zhongcheng is a good official. ”

"Good officer! Of course it's a good officer! Jin Shi was busy pouring them one by one, "We Chengdu people know in their hearts, the year before last a good group of people from Huguang Henan came to escape the famine, and the Sichuan year was not good that year, Jinchuan was fighting there, and there was disaster relief here, not to mention the night market, even during the day, it was full of begging and calling for food - just open a porridge shed under the Dianjiang platform." There are many people and little porridge, and Master Jin has made up for 3,000 taels in Luli! How can there be such a good official now? Fu Heng smiled: "There are indeed not many such good officials now. However, if this head is 3,000, and the other head may get another 10,000, it will still be cost-effective! ”

When he said this, not only Jin Hui, but also Zhang Youcheng was surprised, and immediately felt that this catering had become a tasteless taste: this fast-mouthed woman is an unobstructed character in ten mouthfuls of questions and answers, Fu Heng's words actually carry the taste of examining word of mouth, in case of a "otherwise" from this broken mouth, it is to go through the door of the Ministry of Shangshu, and the ten "Zhuo Wei" will be ruined by the test of the meritorious department. Zhang and Xian were suddenly on pins and needles, their faces became less bloody, and they looked at this woman with wide eyes.

"Lord Jin is not greedy! In the case of Widow Cai's rape and forced hanging, the previous defendant used hundreds of thousands of silver to rip up houses and sell land, and even the officials of the Department of Prison and Prison of the Criminal Department bought them into their own families. Seeing that everyone listened to themselves so carefully, Jin said to himself even more proudly while persuading him to drink, "Lord Jin has just pulled it back, a feudal lord eats and hangs down, and the lord of the clan asks about it, and there are two Taoist platforms, a county order, and two inspection masters, all of whom have taken them, and they will show the public with a flail on this one!" I heard that the plaintiff Wang's family had drilled many ways to send money to Jin Zhongcheng, and Lord Jin said, 'Why send money if you are reasonable?' If you win the lawsuit, you have to deal with me, this case is suspicious' - for this, I refuted the division, and also refuted the elder of the criminal department! Originally, when she said this, it was enough to weigh it, but she added angrily, "Which is like our Xian Taizun, in front of the Lilac Back Street Wang family in order to fight for a piece of cemetery land, first send three hundred silver, don't, send another thousand, and then accept it - 'don't' turned out to be fake, too little is true!" ”

I'm afraid that there will be ghosts itching and lice everywhere, this mouth that can't be sealed really has a bag of tribulus terrestris to give Xian Yugong! Xian Yugong's face immediately turned snow-white, his brain was wooden, and he didn't know how to deal with this scene. Jin Hui was originally ironing in his heart, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he was as motionless as the flowers and leaves in the temple. Zhang Chengyou was stunned, staring at the Jin family, not knowing what else this terrible mouth would say. Even Xiao Qizi, who was eating at the table next to him, held chopsticks and turned his face to look at Jin. At this time, Jin Hui, the "Ga" Xiucai in the back room, came out, still holding a book in the crook of his elbow, and said to everyone: "Don't listen to her full of firewood, Wang Erqing fights for the cemetery, and people take advantage of it." Taizun Ye judged reasonably, and then sent some thank-you gifts, which is also human nature! ”

"Go, read your book." Kim scolded with a smile, "Who doesn't know that the streets are full of people? There's a human life in it! Whose mouth can they gag? Zhang Zhentai's soldiers came to eat the restaurant, a swarm of bees came, wiped their mouths, and a swarm of bees went again, you went to the Zhentai Yamen to complain, and almost made a 'quack' sound again - don't you come back and call it a bumper bent? ”

This time, even Zhang Chengyou swept in with a broom. Zhang Chengyou's eyes were green, and he stared at each other and longed to kick this mouthy woman to death. Xian Yugong hated, ashamed and helpless, his face was pale and he gritted his teeth in his heart. Fu Heng said with a smile: "The world is as black as a crow, and those who are officials can judge according to reason, and receive some gifts afterwards, it is now a common thing, those Qiu Baye are more lawless than you here!" There is some anger and hatred in the world, and there is no way to do it, even the Jade Emperor can do anything about it. Sister-in-law Jin, bear with it, endure everything safely......" She got up as she spoke, and heard three hoarse and dull afternoon cannons from the far arch platform, and the adults yawned and smiled, "It's really tiring to listen to you joke!" Little Qizi, reward her with a few taels of silver! Xiao Qizi hurriedly agreed, and took out another silver coin and put it on the table. The Jin family, the boss of Jin Hui, and his son sent them out with a thousand thanks.

The school night market has long since dispersed, all the shops have closed their doors, and it is dark and empty, only the west side is south and then the west corner, which is still brightly lit. Jin Hui saw Fu Heng walking forward silently, and Zhang Chengyou's footsteps were filled with lead, and then he couldn't think of a topic to break the embarrassment and dullness for a while, because he pointed to the distance and said: "There is an all-night market, a theater garden plays a stage play, and the traffic lights are all in the courtyard...... Listening to the sound of the pipa from such a distance, it is very emotional. Fu Heng didn't seem to be as annoyed as everyone guessed, so he only nodded and said: "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river." From afar and up, each has a different taste......" he sighed deeply.

"Da Shuai ......" Xian Yugong saw him speak, his heart was slightly relieved, and he said timidly behind him, "Humble duty-"

"Don't talk about it, just let him go over the past, and if there is something to change, he will be encouraged. You can't be embarrassed by the Jin family, they don't want to be happy! Fu Heng was unhurried, as if he was earnestly admonishing, and as if he was overwhelmed, "I know the situation now." I'll see you in a few days, and there will be no punishment—I'm so busy there, and there's a mountain of things, and there's nothing bigger than this......"

"Xie Dashuai is considerate...... the two said almost at the same time.

When he arrived at the southwest corner of the school, he turned a corner and returned to the yamen, and Fu Heng stood still. The breeze passed by on the lonely empty field, "the second quarter moon of half a circle was hidden and swaying in the clouds of different shades, and the grass on the field was stepped on like felt, mottled and horizontal, and it was also bright and dark, so I listened to the sound of Zheng Zheng pipa, the singing voice of a courtesan came from the curling, but it was Tang Xianzu's "Northern Parasitic Tune":

I am afraid of playing Yangguan song, and I will be cold and cold. It is the river dry peach leaf Lingbodu, the Tingzhou grass is sticky and cloudy, and the willow color of the river bridge is windy...... The slender waist is silky, and it is ridiculous that his own flying flotsam is unbearable......

Ethereal as smoke and silk, it sounds pleasant.

Xian Yugong Zhang Chengyou has a ghost fetus in his heart, this is the music of the Queen Mother Yaochi Chang'e Dancing with Floating Sleeves and has no intention of listening to it, just thinking about playing the drums in his heart, how can he redeem Fu Heng's favor and trust, thinking nonsense. Fu Heng turned to Jin Hui and said, "Jin Gong, did you pay attention when you entered the night market just now?" Many military officers, as well as civilian officials, also came to visit the market! ”

"I didn't pay attention, I guess there were, right?"

"Look-" Fu Heng pointed to the west with his hand, "Those sedan chairs, not official sedan chairs?" And the horses, the horses, the servants, and the entourage, what are they doing at the door of the brothel? ”

“……”

"Xian Yugong, Zhang Chengyou," Fu Heng had no expression on his face, "Come here!" ”

The two of them were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly agreed to grab two steps to force their hands to stand still, and promised: "What do you command?" ”

"Now you go back to the government at once, call up your people, and immediately make a big call for the whole city! [3]

Fu Heng's words were categorical and cold, "The soldiers in front of him encircled and suppressed Jinchuan, they were happy here, I want to give them some color to see-regardless of the grade of military officials, all those who go to brothels to play **, watch dramas and eat wine, take them all, and detain them to the Yamen of Zhensi, listen to my fate!" Don't disturb Shang Jia Liangmin, hear me? ”

"Yes, I understand!"

"Lao Jin, let's go, go back to the ya." Fu Heng slowed down his breath and smiled to himself, "Li Shiyao arrived in Chengdu today, I'm afraid that this son is already waiting for me in the middle of the line." There is also a letter from Yin Yuanchang, a court message from A Gui and Liu Tongxun, you must look at it tonight. You're going to stay up all night with me tonight—do you want to tell my sister-in-law?" Jin Hui was extremely happy and excited tonight, just Jin's words, he felt that it was no less than a commendation oracle, at the moment he was half asleep, he wanted to talk to someone, and he could talk about anything. Hearing Fu Heng's amusement, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You also see me unbearable!" The emperor has not seen the folds of my reply, Zhu Pi! Pour your Biluo Chun on it, and we'll sip tea and talk—what are you doing standing? Why don't you hurry up and get on your errand? ”

"Wow!" Xian Yugong Zhang Chengyou hurriedly responded and hurriedly went.

Fu Heng looked at their backs, breathed a sigh of silence, took a few steps forward, and said with a sneer: "If you win the lawsuit, don't send three hundred, send one thousand and put it away, there is no reason in the world and no favor!" He didn't have anything to do with it, Jin Hui settled down before he remembered that he was talking about Xian Yugong, pondered for a while, and said after pondering the words: "He is the clan on the branch of Prince Lao Jian, with a yellow belt and a bead, his Han name is still given by the fifth master of the prince today, and he is not a character to provoke!" Fu Heng heard that Xian Yugong and Hongtian still had this relationship, gasped from between his teeth, gritted his teeth and smiled: "There's no way, just touch it." If he doesn't do anything wrong, I'll teach you a lesson about returning the stolen goods and settling the case; If not, it is sinned against heaven, and there is nothing to pray for! ”

"Whether it's right or not, that's for later." Jin Hui said with a smile, "After the battle, you will be your prime minister if you win, the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, who cares about this idle account?" - Let's go! Fu Heng didn't move, smiled from between his teeth, and said, "You go back to your family with the same name and surname now, and I'll see you tonight." I'll go back, and if it's not for the urgency, I'll stay, and I'll send my own soldiers over later under your command." You understand, this is my life, not to discuss with you. ”

Jin Hui heard that Fu Hengtai was too careful, Chengdu Huanghuang Province, Jin's shop was in the downtown area, and Zhang Chengyou was guilty of being afraid of punishment and took care of himself, only meritorious service made up, how dare he fry and sell it immediately? But Fu Heng's last sentence weighed out, and he immediately changed his appearance, bowed down and said, "Yes!" Humble duty understands, obey Jun's orders! ”

"Let's go," Fu Heng said to Xiao Qizi, "Go ahead and find a small sedan chair to sit on." ”

Xiao Qizi hurriedly agreed to trot to find a sedan chair, and Jin Hui turned around and went back to the Jin family's snack bar.

Here Fu Heng took a sedan chair back to Xingyuan, looked at the watch was already past two o'clock, stood in front of the signing room under the faint moonlight and looked at the candles in the room, and a stack of documents on the case came out for a while, sighed, and was stepping into the house, hearing the footsteps approaching from the north, the sound of fine metal grinding on the brick floor with a spur, Fu Heng asked without turning his head: "He Lao Liu, is Li Shiyao here?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, you go on the front foot, and Master Li will come. I asked him to wait in the flower hall, and now he is asleep on the spring stool. "He Lao Liudao," as well as Xiao Observation of Huguang Tube Transporting Grain, Xiao Lu, the official Yan, and Pang Fengming, the master of Yin Zhongtang in Xi'an, also came. The two of them didn't sleep and settled in the East Flower Hall to rest. Do you want to call them all? "He is now Fu Heng's Chinese army guard, he was born short and has a big voice, and he is speaking in a suppressed voice at the moment, which sounds a little strange. Fu Heng couldn't help but smile secretly and said, "I still have a few letters to write, since I am asleep, don't be alarmed." If the two of them are not in a hurry, please rest first, they will spend the night in the flower hall, and it will not be too late to see you tomorrow morning. So saying, he went into the house. Xiao Qizi followed up and said, "The Mongolian family has also come. I asked the door just now, and said that it was placed in the water pavilion room behind the West Flower Hall. - They are overjoyed to know the identity of the marshal......"

Xiao Qizi nagged, Fu Heng had already sat down, took the towel he handed over and wiped his face, and said casually, "Hmm", and said: "It's not a big deal, they are from Western Mongolia, I want to ask about the situation on the side of Khalkha Tseling Alabutan, Huo Jizhan is in civil strife, and the matter of returning to the department is also very annoying." Looking at their folded letters, I can't understand them, I'm afraid I can still hear them from the Shama family......" took a sip of tea, it was cold, and he spilled the cup and handed it to Xiao Qizi, "Give me the heat." Covering his mouth and yawning, he first drew a letter from Beijing, and when he saw the word "peace" on the cover, he stacked it aside. Then read Ji Yun's letter, but there were more than 3,000 words, first described Qianlong's recent itinerary, the car and the car stationed at the customs to prevent a matter, and then wrote the Yizheng Guanhua turmoil in detail, pay attention to the last paragraph, writing:

Dou Guangnai's move was stealing that he was reckless and broken, and the saint praised him for being honest and cute, but it was a pity that the courtiers in the world did not have such a backbone for a long time. Seeing the emperor's slight holy intentions, it seems that he no longer intends to use it as the imperial history of the left capital, and it is unknown whether he should be a teacher or a scholar and politician with his academic products. Today, the Dou family and the world brother are both watching the wind and patrolling the north, which is good and has deep meaning. When the country is at its peak and there are many hidden dangers, it is only necessary to govern the people's livelihood and public security, and the first is to govern the officials, and the officials are corrupt, and the rest are all mournful, and the people's livelihood and public security cannot be asked. Because of Gao Heng's case, the emperor saw the decline of Fang Jin's officialdom, and even the officials involved in the high rank of the official were very appalling. Every time I discuss it with Yanqing, there are still petty and obscene people who discuss the holy virtue privately, thinking that those who are leisurely and lazy are thinking about it. The escape of Sha Luo Ben's wife Duoyun has been mentioned in advance, and the emperor of the people involved has been punished very lightly, saying that Duoyun is a woman's ear, and please knock for her husband, that is, Sha Luo Ben is bound to surrender to sincerity, and it should also show her righteousness from her husband, which is also the holy and full extension of the dignity of the father and son. The saint repeatedly instructed Yun to tell the public that the battle would be slow down and stable, and the plough court would sweep the holes during the period and leave no future troubles. And now the king of Burma (Dian) has been killed. He, the ear of a corner of my Celestial Empire's vassal country, dared to set up a new lord without asking for a book and stood on his own, and the chaos of the Hui Department of Huojizhan, and the rebellion of Khalkha Simon, all of them were to be made after my public performance, and I was eager to act cautiously and not slack off. Another notice: A Gui has a letter saying that he and the prince broke into the garden and moved the palace, please do not spread it, and even the previous letter will be burned. Ji Yundun's first secret

Fu Heng stroked the letterhead, raised his face and pondered for a while, took out another one of the letters he had read, checked it, and burned the two letters together on the candle, watching the paper burst into flames in his hand, and gradually curled up and burned black, before he came back to his senses from the deep thoughts, and took out A Gui's letter, and when he opened it, there was still a fold of A Gui's greeting to Qianlong, on which Qianlong's Zhu Criticism was written. Fu Heng didn't read the letter first, and stood up to read Qianlong's edict:

I am an, and the two deficits of the household bank have been seen. From the first year of Qianlong to the tenth year of Qianlong, I repeatedly issued a clear edict, and I would never allow the treasury to borrow money from foreign officials, so that there was a deficit again, but now after investigation, there is a deficit of 7 million taels with accounts and no silver! The defeat of the Holy Ancestor in the year of the Seventh Season, there was no silver in the treasury to fight again, I thought about it and still felt palpitations, and the emperor said that the strength of his life to save this decadence was now the same as before, and I don't know where the patriotic heart of the loyal monarch is! I don't know what happened to the Minister of Military Aircraft! Similar to this, please be safe is also like a false story, although I want to be safe but not at ease! On the day of the arrival of the letter of the Ministry of Households, the mission will be withdrawn, and the punishment will be obeyed. This piece is turned to Fu Heng and Yin Jishan. Chin this!

He put down the invitation for a long time, smiled bitterly before showing the letter again, only then did he know that the letter was sent to Ji Yun, and there was also Qianlong's comment on it:

This matter can also be transferred to Fu Heng, and the punishment is exempted. Your master is in a bad mood, who do you tell if you don't have a seizure? In the case of the shortage of salt, the silver taels have not yet been found, and the treasury is empty. This is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to pay close attention to the ears of the servants such as Ling'er. Er Fu Heng and Yin Jishan are both old Manchurians, and they are hardworking and cautious, I don't doubt you, and you don't have to doubt yourself - but now there are many things, and I want you to be careful not to be negligent. This document will be returned together with the original.

The cover below is the small seal of "Changchun Jushi". Fu Heng sat down to read the letter with confidence. But Ah Gui's letter was written very empty, except for the words of thanking the emperor for his crimes, and then saying that he should take care of the good news of peace, there was only one sentence, "Mrs. Sister-in-law told me that the master has given birth to an elder brother, and the son and mother are Kangtai, and I pay tribute to my brother's hard work." He didn't write very clearly, he drew a mark with his fingernails, pounded his forehead that was a little hot, picked up Zhaohui and Hailancha's military books and put them together in a pile, because he saw that the fire paint seals were stamped with green seals, and there was no cinnabar seal, so he knew that everything was going well and there was no urgency. Then he took out the letterhead, picked up the pen and was about to write, and the little seventh son ran in from far and near, and said, "Master! You're a god! ”

Fu Heng was stunned for a moment, a drop of ink fell on the paper, hurriedly put down the pen, and scolded with a smile: "You dog, bluff me - such a sentence fell from the clouds for a long time." He suddenly realized and stood up suddenly, "Is it Zhang Chengyou or Xian Yugong?" Do they really dare to poison the Jin family? ”

"Yes! Jin Zhongcheng got Zhang Chengyou, surnamed Xian, who wanted to escape, and he also got it, and he was already escorted out of the gate! Xiao Qizi said excitedly, "This is really more brilliant than the drummers in the play!" ”

Fu Heng slammed his fist into the case, and the inkstone, pen holder, ink ingot, pen, cup, and shabu pen holder jumped high, and even a few stacks of paperwork trembled. He blushed, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Be bold and reckless! ”
