When they came out, it was already dark, and Liu Cheng and Fluttershy sent the girl home first, and it turned out that it was still a large family, and her father insisted on giving Liu Cheng a hundred taels of silver as a reward, but Liu Cheng refused to accept anything.

When he learned that the gangster was punished in private, there was no need to report it to the official. The family was even more grateful, not only to keep for food, but also to give an extra two hundred taels of silver. Liu Cheng was still worried about his wife, so he had to accept the previous 100 taels of silver, and then hurried home with Fluttershy.

Liu Cheng felt that since watching the Yin soldiers carry the coffin, Liu Mao and Jiang Xinzhong have really been promoted, although they have lost their official positions, but these days they are constantly making foreign money, although they are good deeds, but they have also verified the words of the village chief, seeing the Yin soldiers carrying the coffin, it is an omen to be promoted and make a fortune. When I think of this, I think there may be a turning point in the future.

When he sees Fluttershy walking sullenly, he inevitably blames himself for not taking good care of others, and he is afraid that he will betray the trust of the island owner.

The two of them were speechless and walked to a lively place, but when they saw a shop selling at night with lights at the door, and people were coming and going, Liu Cheng remembered that Fluttershy was still wearing a gauze and was about to add some new clothes for the winter. So he pulls Fluttershy inside to choose clothes, no wonder there are so many people, the clothes are cheap and good, I buy six or seven in one go, and Fluttershy's mood also improves slightly, but she feels tired and headaches.

When the two return home and greet Liu's mother, Liu Cheng sends Fluttershy back to his room, closes the door, and puts the cat away. Liu Cheng helps Fluttershy to lie down on the bed, and he moves a round stool to sit on the edge of the bed, asking about the day.

"Tell me first, this afternoon, you have three ups and downs. Fluttershy is anxious to verify, but asks Liu Cheng first.

"There are no three ups, but three falls are a basket. Liu Cheng tells Fluttershy about his story.

Fluttershy laughs, "It's not bad, my calculations aren't accurate." ”

"Tell me how you were caught this afternoon, I can't help but ask, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people around. What the hell, this kitten can talk. ”

Fluttershy tells her the truth, "That's right, I'm a little sleepy waiting for you, and the boss sees that I'm occupying the table and won't leave, so he asks me to change my seat, and I'm tired after a long time, so I just go out for a walk." I saw a monkey playing around and watched, and I went to see it, and then a woman patted me, and I followed her in a daze. When I entered an alley, I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, it was pitch black, and I heard someone outside say that the medicine for the palace was ready and ready to be loaded. ”

"Sure enough, it was for the palace, I said so many brocade guards in the palace, could it be that the emperor or some important person went there. ”

"I didn't know it, I wanted to escape, but my body didn't listen to me, and my soul floated out of the box. only to find out that I was trapped there. ”

"What, you can have such a skill when you can leave your body. Liu Cheng felt a chill in his back when he heard this, the immortal who looked like a little girl in front of him was really unusual.

"Don't interrupt me, I flew to a high place to find out the direction, and flew back to the bun shop to wait for you, after a while, you came back, I couldn't communicate with you, so I attached my soul to this kitten. You'll find out what happened later. He beckons to the kitten, who obediently jumps onto the bed and snuggles up to Fluttershy.

"I don't know what the relationship between the Taoist priest and the emperor is, don't mention this matter again in the future, so as not to get into trouble. ”

Suddenly, I hear someone knocking on the door, "Miss Fluttershy, it's time to eat" It turned out to be Liu De.

Liu Cheng opened the door and said, "Bring the food to Fluttershy's house, she's feeling a little unwell." ”

"Yo, it turns out that the son is in the house, okay, I'll bring the food, and I'll bring yours too." With that, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Liu Cheng enters the house and chats with Fluttershy again, and after a while, Liu De brings the meal to the house and sets it up, but Fluttershy can't eat it anymore and just drinks some porridge.

Liu Cheng saw that Fluttershy was no longer eating, so he picked up his rice bowl.

Suddenly, I found an ivory plaque at the bottom of the bowl (an ivory waist plaque carried by Ming Dynasty officials when entering and leaving the palace). I saw that the front was written "Jinyi Wei Jinyi Right Hundred Households" The back seal was engraved "The court counselor hangs this card, and those who do not have a license are guilty according to the law; those who borrow and borrow are guilty of the same; they do not need to go out of Beijing", and the side is also engraved with a number.

What is going on? This is a waist card for entering and leaving the Forbidden City, which is much more noble than the waist card for one's own poor trip out of Beijing, and it is held by hundreds of households. Whoever throws the tat under my bowl and loses or lends it to another is to be punished.

While eating, Liu Cheng stared at the tooth card and thought.

Then he picked up the toothtag and put it in his arms, "Fluttershy, you rest first, I'll go out and do something." You should be back around the third watch at the latest. ”

"What's the matter, you have to go out in the middle of the night, you must know that the night is not as peaceful as the day, it is better to go out less. Fluttershy asks worriedly.

"Yes, but I often run errands at night, and that's okay, I'll be more careful. Liu Cheng didn't feel to say hello to his mother, put on his night clothes and sword, and came to look around the kitchen, and then swooped up the courtyard wall, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped on the roof of the house next door, and walked all the way like a cat on the roof.

It's a good effort, and after a while, I came to the door of Nanzhen Fusi, and asked the captain on duty at the door if Lord Lu was in the yamen, and the captain was no longer the one on duty during the day.

Liu Cheng said mysteriously: "I have something important to report to Lord Lu." ”

"Don't laugh, Lord Lu is angry now, in the middle of the night, if you don't have anything important, don't make trouble." ”

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "There is indeed something important. ”

Seeing this, the captain had no choice but to go in and report it.

After a while, he came back with a thousand households, and the thousand households saw Liu Cheng and said, "Come with me." ”

Liu Cheng followed Qianhu all the way to a main house in the back, "Liu Cheng brought." Qianhu shouted, then pushed the door and took Liu Cheng in.

I saw that there were four brocade-clothed soldiers on each side, and one person sat behind the clerical case, burly, with a majestic face, dressed in a big red brocade uniform, and three locks of beard fluttering. There is mystery between the eyebrows, and there is a city hidden in the eyes. It is said that the Yama Palace is mighty, and it is better to sigh when you see this gentleman. This person wearing the official uniform of a first-class official is Lu Bing, and the word is civilized.

"Grass people Liu Cheng see Lord Dudu. Liu Cheng stepped forward and saluted.

"How do you know that I am in Nanzhen Fusi, and not in the Zuodu Governor's Mansion or Cabinet. Lu Bing suddenly asked.

"The grass people can only be lucky, and it's useless for me to go to other places. ”

"Can't enter the palace, or can't you enter the governor's mansion?"

"They all entered, but they didn't dare to enter. ”

Lord Lu smiled when he heard this and said, "You all step aside, I want to talk to Liu Cheng alone." ”

The others all retreated, and after the door was closed, Lord Lu said, "Get up and talk, I heard that you went to the palace to offer treasures, but you touched a gray nose." ”

"Exactly, you can't hide anything from Lord Governor. The villain also just wants to try his luck. Liu Cheng was mentally up and down, and he didn't know if he was right to get the bottom this time.

"I've said it all, you can't do what Yishou Pill is. Then what are you doing when you go to the vicinity of the Heavenly Master's Mansion at dusk?"

"Heavenly Master's Mansion? The villain doesn't know where the Heavenly Master's Mansion is, dusk? Could it be that I passed by the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Liu Cheng said that he didn't know, but he also guessed a few points in his heart, could it be that the place where Fluttershy was locked up was the Heavenly Master's Mansion?

"Okay, let's get down to business, what's important?" Lord Lu said coldly.

Liu Cheng presented the tooth card that entered and exited the palace to Lu Bing.

"Where did this thing come from? If it's a waist card in the palace, how could it fall into your hands. Lu Bing asked deliberately.

The grass people were puzzled, and when they were eating at home, they saw this thing at the bottom of the bowl, and they didn't know who put it. So I came back and forth to Lord Lu. ”

"Why are you asking me about this?"

"The adult's teaching, how dare Liu Cheng forget, before going out of Beijing on a business trip, the adult repeatedly told him that everything must be reported to the adult first. This matter is very important, of course, the first time to inform the adults. ”

"Since you have this heart, take back the waist card, and you will be the eyes and ears of the emperor in the future, helping the emperor continue to secretly explore the immortals and seek the art of immortality, but your identity is only known to me and the emperor, although you have a hundred households and one hundred and twenty stones, but other treatment is not, you are willing." ”

Liu Cheng was secretly happy when he heard this, and suddenly he was promoted to three levels and became a hundred households, "Of course I am willing to be lowly, thank you Lord Lu for cultivating." ”

"Also, you also hold the position of Jinyi Guard, secretly monitoring important officials, whether it is merit or demerit, all major things done by officials, related to the safety of the country and the fate of the court, must be reported to me first. You know what I mean. ”

"The subordinates understand. The subordinates will never do anything that is sorry for Da Ming and not for Lord Lu. Liu Cheng knew in his heart that he would actually be Lord Lu's eyeliner in the future.

"Don't bring me with you, how close the officials are, you can act cheaply, and the more you get in touch with the officials who are concerned about the security of the country, the better. You will often go out of Beijing in the future, so officials outside Beijing are your focus, and you must record what you see along the way, and report to me when you return to Beijing. Regarding the matter of asking for immortals, you can use this tooth card to report directly to the emperor, as long as you have a head, Mo Xue Shen Lian is so stubborn. ”

"That's what Lord Lu said. The villain made a note of it. "Who is Shen Lian, do I know him?" Liu Cheng was a little confused.

"In addition, this time I went out to Beijing to find immortals, I will not investigate your gains and losses, and I don't want to ask more, I know that your three brothers are rare talents with unique skills, so they intend to let you go on a business trip, so as to be promoted, but the three of you had better not get too close in the future, so as not to get suspected of forming a party for personal gain. You understand. ”

"This, yes, is written down by the lowly position. Liu Cheng was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he deeply felt the depth of the intentions of the ministers, it turned out that when he went out to look for immortals, Lord Lu was not a drunkard at all.

"Whenever you go out of Beijing to do business, you don't have to worry about your family, someone will go to your mother every month to send rice, hide your waist card, and follow me to the west garden of the palace tomorrow night to see the emperor to thank you. Let's go back today. ”

Liu Cheng happily returns home and goes to Fluttershy to report the good news first, so that she doesn't worry about herself. "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, I'm back. "I knocked on the door for a long time, but I didn't hear any movement, did I fall asleep?

The door was not locked, Liu Cheng hesitated outside for a long time, went in without permission, or turned back to the house, after all, she and Fluttershy are still different from men and women, maybe Fluttershy is asleep, and she hears a bang, the door opens, but there is no one in sight, and there is no sound in the dark room.
