Yazhou City, in the courtyard of the Yazhou Office.

Hai Dagui sat on the bench under the eaves, his eyes slightly closed against the column head on the side to nap, but the surface of the wooden beams and pillars was painted oily and slippery, and it was easy for his body to slip on it, and he would wake up with a slight slide.

In the past few days, he has been working with Mu Xiabai and Feng Anan, and he feels really tired enough, and he has been dozing off as soon as it gets dark. These two masters have to go around Yazhou City every day, and there are two fixed places that they will definitely go to see, one is Yazhou Water Village, and the other is the military camp outside Yazhou City. Although Yazhou is not a big place, it is at least a dozen miles away to run back and forth, which is a lot of consumption for Hai Dagui, who lacks physical exercise.

Although Hai Dagui doesn't quite understand the significance of the two lords going to see these places every day, but at the moment, people must have the consciousness of their subordinates, and don't talk too much if they shouldn't ask. Every day, he followed behind with a large bag of things, which contained dry food for three people and some strange things, and he was a little tired, but compared to the hard days when he traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains in the north to Yazhou, the life in the Yazhou Office is almost a paradise now.

Although he and another young man, Hai Dafu, were still doing the things of subordinates, they could clearly feel that these merchants from Haihan did not completely treat them as slaves, they ate the same meals for three meals, and they would take turns to teach the two of them to read and write in their free time, and tell them some simple truths, and the kindness released was still easy to feel. The most important thing is that although these Haihan people claim to be from overseas, they almost all have standard northern accents, and the two of Hai Dagui and Hai Dafu can communicate with them effortlessly, giving them a sense of intimacy that they have not felt for a long time.

Hai Dagui knew that the Haihan people had built a large port in the east, and now the people who sailed from Yazhou to the sea every month went to settle there. It is said that that place is more prosperous than Yazhou, and everyone does not have to worry about not being able to afford food, Hai Dagui is eager to wait for the opportunity to see what the city built by the Haihan people is like when he has the opportunity in the future.

The door behind Hai Dagui creaked open, Zhang Guang appeared at the door, and said to Hai Dagui: "Dagui, is Mr. He back?"

Hai Dagui woke up after a dozing moment, and hurriedly got up and replied: "Mr. He said today that he was going to discuss affairs with Lord Wang of the state government, and it is estimated that he will come back later." ”

"Do you know where he went? I have something urgent to find him back!" Zhang Guang asked.

In Hu Erniang's shop in Nantiao Alley...... "Hai Dagui didn't dare to hide it, he still listened to what his little friend Hai Dafu said before he went out. Hai Dafu has been doing things with He Xi for a long time, and he is familiar with the places He Xi often goes.

Zhang Guangdao: "You hurry up and tell Mr. He to come back immediately, and say that there is news from home! Hu Erniang...... Hmph......"

The expression on Zhang Guang's face is not too good-looking, he has been in Yazhou for so long, and he already knows which store in the city does what business, that Hu Erniang's shop is not a clean place, to put it bluntly, it is a place to drink flower wine. No matter whether He Xi went there for business or private fun, for Zhang Guang, this kind of behavior should be despised.

Hai Dagui didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly sorted out his clothes and went out. Hu Erniang's shop is not particularly far from the courtyard of the Ya Office, and it is only through three streets and alleys. It is said to be a shop, but in fact it is just a small courtyard, and you can see a pumpkin-sized lantern at the door from a distance at the mouth of the alley, with the word "Hu" written on it.

Before Hai Dagui entered the courtyard, he was stopped. Hai Dagui knew who it was when he heard this voice, and when he stopped and turned around, he saw Hai Dafu walking out of the corner: "Come to Mr. He?"

Hai Dagui nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang asked me to find Mr. He back, saying that there was news from home." Why are you waiting here?"

Hai Dafu shook his head and said, "Mr. He didn't let me in, saying that it was not suitable for children, so let me wait for him here." ”

"I see that Mr. Zhang is very anxious, this matter cannot be delayed, let's hurry in and inform Mr. He. Hai Dagui grabbed Hai Dafu's wrist and pulled him into the courtyard gate together.

At this time, He Xi was lying naked on a certain soft ** in the backyard, and a young woman beside him was also naked, curled up in sweat and lying next to him. The woman looked at He Xi's side face with a confused look, her fingers gently swiped on his arm, and she said angrily: "You bad person, you are so rude every time, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

He Xi closed his eyes and responded: "Obviously, you look like a tigress, why do you blame me for being rude? ”

The woman pinched He Xi and said, "It's not what you bad guy asked for!"

"I give the money, so can't I ask for it?" He Xi smiled and said: "Okay, for the sake of your performance today, I will have a good time with you, the judge of the state government has spoken, your troublesome matter only needs to spend a hundred taels of hard work, just prepare the silver yourself, and the judge will let people take it when he turns around." ”

"Erniang, I know that Uncle He is still reliable!" the woman said and leaned her warm and soft body on He Xi's shoulder, and said with a confused look: "Uncle He, how should the concubine repay you?"

"It's not easy to repay me?" which girls did Judge Wang hook up with before, how much black money he collected in this Nantiao Alley, and what shady deeds he did, you Hu Erniang should be very clear about these things, right?" He Xi opened his eyes as he spoke, looked at Hu Erniang with a smile and said, "Write down these things and hand them over to me, it should be no problem, right?"

Hu Erniang sat up, her face changed color and said: "You immortals are fighting, don't involve me, a mortal, to go in! Since you want to help me, why do you want to hurt me again?"

He Xi also sat up, snorted and said: "Do you think Judge Wang will let your business go? If I hadn't said good things in the middle, he would have taken your business for a long time! It's useless for you to take his handle, because you can't pull him at all, but these handles are different when they are in my hands, if necessary, I will stuff the black materials to Dongchang Fanzi, and I can let Judge Wang get out of class!"

"What's the end of class?" asked Hu Erniang puzzled.

He Xi coughed dryly and said, "After class...... In short, it won't make him feel better, and even losing his official position is in my thoughts!"

Hu Erniang gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, Erniang will believe you this time!"

He Xi was still about to persuade him a few words, and suddenly Hai Dafu's voice came from outside the room: "Mr. He, there is something at home, please return quickly!"

He Xi knew that the Cliff Office should have sent someone to find here, so he quickly answered, and then got up and dressed. He Xi said to Hu Erniang while dressing: "Don't be afraid, if you really can't stay here, you can go to Qiongzhou or Guangzhou to make a living, and I will pay for you." ”

Hu Erniang said angrily: "I heard that you Haihan people have placed a huge industry in Yulin, and you keep collecting laborers in Yazhou every day to open up wasteland and fields, why don't you let Erniang go there to settle down?"

He Xi said with a smile: "You can go, but after you go, I'm afraid your skin and meat business will not be very good." We're very strict about this business. ”

Hu Erniang chirped: "What kind of skin and meat business, can you be anyone who can enter Erniang's room?" The shopkeeper Qiu who sells cloth and the cultural and educational edicts in the south of the city run here every day, have you seen that I have given them half a good face?"

"Yes, yes, you have discipline!" He Xi finished dressing, slapped Hu Erniang's bare buttocks and said: "Remember the business, tomorrow I will find a trustworthy reader to ghostwrite for you, and then discuss where you will go in the future after the matter is completed." ”

He Xi came out to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Hai Dagui also standing outside, and asked a few questions, and Hai Dagui only knew it. He Xi knew that it was estimated that there was a temporary notice from the base camp, so he didn't continue to ask at the moment, and when he returned to the cliff office, he would naturally find it clear.

When the three of them returned to the Cliff Office, He Xi found that he was alone, and the others were already seated in the confidential room. When Zhang Guang saw He Xi coming in, he couldn't help but mutter: "There must be a limit to going out to play, drinking flower wine outside every day, and what will the comrades in the base camp think if they know?"

He Xi was not angry, and said with a smile: "I admit to drinking flower wine, but this is just a means, not an end, I don't do this, it is not so easy to collect the black materials of those officials of the state government." ”

"You are using the purpose to cover up the wrong means!" Zhang Guang said unrelentingly: "You are a special member of the Executive Committee, but it doesn't mean that you can treat yourself as 007 and soak wherever you go!"

"Zhang Guang, don't say it. Mariko stopped Zhang Guang's accusation in a deep voice: "There is no need to say these words that hinder unity, besides, there are female comrades present, pay attention to the impact!"

Zhang Guang may not really agree with Mariko's words, but when he saw that Zhao Xiaoruo's face was already red, he stopped angrily.

He Xi is such a shrewd person, as soon as he heard Mariko's words, he felt that there was a bit of a problem, and it sounded like he was trying to dissuade Zhang Guang, but it seemed that he was also faintly pointing out that his side was doing something wrong. The others were silent, and did not seem to stand up to persuade them.

He Xi admits that his working methods are somewhat deviant, but the effect is undeniable to anyone. Besides, he went to Hu Erniang's shop to collect intelligence, and Marik was also very clear about it, and He Xi took him to Qiu Yuan with him last time, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction at that time. Everyone is a single man, and after holding back in a difficult environment for so long, it is inevitable to come to this kind of place with some wandering. In addition to Zhang Guang, the other brothers went out to find a place to be happy, but they were all led by He Xi, and they finally established a relationship with one of the three irons in life, and they have always been harmonious and harmonious, why has the atmosphere changed a little today?

However, Marik's next words made He Xi suddenly understand the reason in his heart: "The executive committee sent a telegram half an hour ago, and there are arrangements for your work to be transferred. ”
