Kaifeng Mansion asked this question, although they were a little unwilling to say, the Jiang family still said it in the end.

It turned out that the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi had a marriage contract with Zhao Zixi, the third son of King Ningjun, but Zhao Zixi liked his junior sister, that is, Jiang Ruoyu, the young lady of the Jiang family, and the two of them had long been in love, but under all kinds of scruples, they delayed again and again, and they had not yet broken the marriage contract with Fang Ruohua.

I still remember that Zhao Zixi stood in the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion that day, dressed in a gloomy body, and his face was full of depression: "The county lord of Changping is a loyal martyr, and his status is noble, but what Zixi wants is to be able to talk with Zixi about the world and people with the same thoughts, when I first saw Ruoyu under Mr., I knew that she was a daughter, pretty and cute, interesting words, the longer we get along, the deeper the feelings, and now Zixi is not married, if the county lord of Changping complains about Zixi losing her face, Zixi is willing to be punished, but Ruoyu is innocent, and the Jiang family is innocent......"

Zhan Zhao felt that it was ridiculous to kill people for the county lord of Changping for this matter, but the case was stale, there were many suspense, His Majesty urged him tightly, and he still had to investigate it carefully, and since the matter involved the county lord of Changping, even if someone framed it, it was impossible for him to have nothing to do with her, so he was ordered by Lord Bao to go to northern Xinjiang.

After thousands of miles and sleep, I finally arrived at the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi, but I ended up eating a closed door.

It is not accurate to say that the door is closed, the gate of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi is open, but except for an old man who is dizzy and deaf at the door, there is no one else inside, not even a maid.

And the old man really couldn't tell where all the people in the house had gone.

The autumn wind is swaying, Zhan Zhao stands outside the same door of the Hou Mansion in the west of the town, looks far away, the city is quite prosperous and lively, the ground is flat and tidy, the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the road stand in a forest, the small merchants and hawkers call and the sound of harmony one after another, look at this lively energy, except for the pedestrians who dress slightly rougher, to not be much worse than some prosperous cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

Just hesitating, three sergeants from the east walked by, the three of them lined up in a column, their steps were the same, and their arms were not bad at all.

It's just that when I was in Kaifeng, I heard rumors that the current Zhenxi general Fang Yingxuan is a weak person, and he is thinking about business, and he has done business in Kaifeng, and now the famous general in Kaifeng's major restaurants is drunk is his business, and the ministers in the court have a lot of contempt, but this person is a close confidant of Fang Houye, except for him, no one can lead the Zhenxi army, and he is the supervisor sent by the imperial court, and Lord He Ji He is not good to care about him.

Now it seems that if nothing else, those generals who don't take things seriously and the armaments of the Zhenxi Army are slack, I am afraid they can't be taken seriously.

While he was pondering, he heard a commotion, and a basin of sewage was deducted from the second floor of the street, which happened to be poured on one of the sergeants.

A foul smell wafted in, and it was a toilet bowl that had been poured out.

"Hahahaha, fun, fun, fun!"

The people all over the street were silent, and a woman with messy hair came down from the second floor, with a dull complexion, looking twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but her expression was jumping and jumping like a child.

Zhan Zhao was shocked, silently clenched his long sword, and waited for the three soldiers to be angry and hurt people to stop them, although this woman was wrong, but this person obviously had a problem with his brain, and it seemed that he should not lose his life because of this.

As soon as he was angry, he was about to move, but he saw that the soldier with dirty hair looked helpless and disgusted, but he smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief to clean himself, and raised his head and said: "Uncle Liu, I know that you feel sorry for Sister Fu, but her current situation, you have to watch him, this is a urinal, no matter how disgusting it is, no one can die, but if you throw down something heavy and hurt someone, you have to be responsible, if there is a next time, Sister Fu will be sent to a nursing home for treatment, and it is useless for you to feel distressed." ”

At this time, an old man upstairs hurriedly came over, dragged the bouncing woman back, and smiled bitterly: "It's my mother-in-law who is soft-hearted, don't worry, go back and ask the two nurses to keep an eye on her all day long, and don't dare to leave again, the little military master hurriedly went into the house to wash." ”

“…… Come on, if I go in like this, it's strange that the guests in your restaurant don't run out. ”

A group of guests in the restaurant watched the excitement and looked energetic, and they all covered their noses.

The little sergeant stuffed a few big bucks to the old man selling water next to him, asked for a bucket of cold water and poured it directly on the people's clothes, and the three of them silently cleaned up the road again, and before leaving, he said: "Uncle Liu, don't forget to go to the sanitation to pay the fine, this is the third time for you, and you have to pay 20 wen." ”

"I must pay it, I must pay it."

Zhan Zhao watched a storm pass calmly, and the three sergeants continued to walk neatly, and then picked and chose on the side of the road, bargained for a long time for a penny, and bought a bunch of vegetables.

He suddenly became curious about the Zhenxi Army in his heart, and it was not that he had not inspected the frontier garrison with Lord Bao in previous years, but he had not met a few people who were so amiable as the sergeants of the Zhenxi Army at the moment.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that there was something strange in Zhenxi City.

When he first arrived today, he was thinking about the case in his heart, and he quickly went straight to the Hou Mansion so he didn't pay attention to it, but now he calmed down and looked at the entire Zhenxi City, but he only felt that everything was different from what he imagined.

Not to mention that the prosperity and liveliness are no worse than many big cities, the people are all blushing, polite, there is no imaginary description of the people of northern Xinjiang in the rudeness, just the big sign on the left side of the yamen, the long queue in front of the small red building with the three big characters of "tax payment office" on the book, it makes people feel surprised.

How can it not be strange that ordinary people are queuing up to pay their taxes?

Zhan Zhao suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and found a nearby inn to stay, but was startled when he entered the door, only to see a few people lying on the side of the table, these people were talking in black, covering their faces with half a silver mask, which was dressed like a Lunatic Cult.

The shopkeeper hurriedly laughed: "Guest officer, please come in, please come in, these masters are tired, just find a place to rest, don't mind." ”

Zhanzhao: "......"

The Lunatic Cult is the largest religion in the Northwest, and the disciples in the sect act willfully and freely, and are known as the Demon Sect in the rivers and lakes, but the new sect leader Xu Yize, I heard that he is a white-faced scholar who is not in good health and has a chronic illness, but for some reason he is very prestigious in the sect, since he took office, he has restrained the sect members, and rarely involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and the reputation of the Lunatic Cult is not as bad as before, but it is still difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

At this time, facing the people in the same place, the guests who came and went to eat and drink did not feel strange, they should eat, they should drink, Zhanzhao also sat down to eat, he had not eaten a hot meal for a long time.
