Xuanbei Fang is located in the north of the white paper workshop, one of the eight squares of the outer city, and the Yangwei camp is located in the inner square of the west gate of the west of the fang, responsible for the defense of the west gate of the outer city and the Xuanwu gate leading to the inner city.

There are few houses around the barracks, and no one wants to live with the barracks, but there are two things that are much denser than other places, that is, the green house and the tavern; Half of the street to the south from Xibianmen is densely covered with more than a dozen green buildings and dozens of taverns, and on the day when the officers and men are resting, the people here are crowded with people, and the officers and men of the Yangwei battalion come and go.

The salaries of the officers and men of the Beijing camp are not low, and their daily life is boring, and it is easy to let the wind out, and drinking and prostituting are their biggest entertainment. And these brothels and taverns are also adapted to the needs of mushrooms in the vicinity. This is similar to the Internet cafes and hourly rooms next to university campuses in later generations.

The March sun shone on the inner street of Xibianmen, and in the wooden railings on both sides of the street, the prostitutes with flowers and branches had long been dressed in colorful tulle shirts, and their bare pink arms were like white lotus roots shining white in the sun.

On the street, the soldiers of the regiment and battalion walked on the street in twos and threes, their eyes squinted upwards at 45 degrees, looking at the swinging arms in the wooden fence along the street, and the girls upstairs saw that the soldiers of the Beijing camp were more and more dissolute, and threw the open fruit shells downstairs one after another, in order to hit the soldiers below to attract their attention.

It is said that officers and soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and this sentence does not seem to be very applicable here, and if we must describe this kind of harmonious relationship, it can only be described as a family of soldiers and civilians.

At the end of the long street, a muffled thunderous sound came, and the people on the street upstairs were a little surprised, and everyone followed the sound to look south of the long street, and the crowd in front of them was in turmoil, and then the figure of a group of cavalry in bright armor appeared in the bend of the street, and they shouted and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the wind swept straight over.

"Jin Yiwei is so arrogant? Damn, this is the jurisdiction of my Mighty Camp, what are these dogs doing here? "A Jingying general banner who had just drunk and was shopping happened to see a girl on the opposite floor, and after being frightened by the sound of horses' hooves, the girl upstairs had no shadow, and her heart was irritable, so she stood in the middle of the road with her arms crossed.

More than a dozen soldiers who came with him hurriedly pulled him to avoid him, but he stood still and shouted, "What are you afraid of? Do dogs still dare to trample on Lao Tzu with horseshoe? ”

Hundreds of Jinyi Guard cavalry rushed in a huge manner, and a burly Jinyi guard official in front of him shouted on his horse: "Jinyi Guard cavalry officer, the people in front of you dodge." ”

Zongqi pouted and ignored it, but raised his arms provocatively; The Jinyi guard official waved his horsewhip and shouted, "Get out of the way, don't you want to die?" ”

"There is a kind of if you hit and kill your grandfather, I don't believe that you dare to spread wilderness in our Yangwei camp." Zongqi spat at the white turbid spit, and he didn't move. The Jinyi Guards were more than ten paces away in an instant, and the burly Jinyi Guard official straightened up on his horse, and the general flag of the Yangwei Battalion smiled when he saw this scene.

"Damn, do you see, these guys really don't have the guts, don't they want to rein in the horse and avoid it."

Before he could say anything, he saw that the burly Jinyi guard official did not lift the reins of the horse, but raised his right arm and raised the horsewhip, and struck the horse's buttocks several times, and the horse accelerated and rushed, and the distance of more than a dozen steps arrived in an instant.

The chief flag officer of the Beijing camp immediately woke up, looking at the war horses coming from the shop, he could feel the oncoming waves of air on his face, and the whole person stood in the middle of the road in a daze and couldn't move a step, he was actually stupid; At the last moment, the chief flag officer felt that his belt was tight, and his body involuntarily moved sideways, and he hit the door panel of a restaurant with a bang, and his body was in severe pain, and in the shouting, the iron hooves around him were rolling, and hundreds of brocade-clothed guards and cavalry laughed and galloped past him, looking at him with disdain.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous. Lord Zongqi, let's react fast enough, it was the villain who grabbed your belt and dragged you away, fortunately, the adult's body is not heavy, just now the horse's hooves grazed our ankles, scared me to death. A soldier next to him wiped his sweat.

The general flag was dripping with cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that he had escaped death, but his mouth was stubborn: "What are you doing with Lao Tzu?" Damn, do they dare to kill Lao Tzu? ”

The subordinates who gathered around him scolded one after another: "Give your mother's mouth hard, do you still have a human face on your face?" ”

The chief flag officer looked at him left and right, looked at the back of the Jinyi guard officers and soldiers galloping away, and said, "What are these guys doing?" This is the direction of our camp. ”

"Just now I saw a person in the Jinyi Guard, it seems to be Song Nan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the person in the head seems to be the Zhenfu Hou Dabiao of the Beizhen Fusi. What did Song Nan and Hou Dabiao do with so many people? It's weird. ”

"Could it be because of the fight we had with the soldiers and horses of the Shenshu Battalion in the south a few days ago?"

"It's possible, is this Song Nan bringing someone to find a venue? That's not right, the matter of the Shenshu Battalion, he should have taken the soldiers and horses of the Shenshu Battalion, why did he take the Jinyi Guard, strange thing. ”

The soldiers around him were talking about it, and the chief flag officer waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid that something will happen, Admiral Jiao is patrolling on the tower of Xuanwumen City, when you don't know about it, you have to quickly notify Admiral Jiao to go." ”

"Yes, let's go now."

More than a dozen people were no longer in the mood to flatter the prostitutes who poked out of the stairs again, and trotted to the east of Xuanwumen Street to report the news.

Two hundred cavalry of Jinyi Wei rolled past, and after a while, the gate of the barracks of the Xibianmen Yangwei Camp was in sight, and dozens of soldiers on duty at the gate of the barracks saw that the formation was terrifying, and they gathered at the gate of the camp in surprise to look; Song Nan ordered Le Ma to be a hundred steps away, and Hou Dabiao rode out of the column and shouted: "Who is that, come over and talk." ”

The guards on duty at the camp gate were not afraid, and they stepped forward with the handle of the knife in their hands and shouted, "Dare to ask which adult is here in person?" What's the point? ”

Hou Dabiao said: "Don't you have long eyes? The Jinyi Guard's pro-army has commanded Lord Song to be here, is your Admiral Jiao in the camp? ”

The hundred households said: "It turned out to be Lord Song, my family Admiral Jiao was not in the camp, and went to Xuanwumen to patrol the defense." ”

Hou Dabiao glanced back at Song Nan, Song Nan stepped forward with a smile and said, "This brother, let me ask you, do you have a thousand households named Xiong Wan in your Yangwei camp?" ”

The hundred households said: "Yes, Xiong Qianhu is the second thousandth household of my Yangwei camp, is Lord Song here to look for him?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Yes, I came to look for him, please ask my brother to go in and report a letter to Xiong Qianhu, and say that I will ask him to go back to the yamen with us to investigate a case." ”

The hundred foxes said suspiciously: "Lord Song came in person, just to see our Xiong Qianhu?" Jinyi Wei Yamen sent someone to inform him, is it not over if you don't say anything? ”

Song Nan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that Xiong Qianhu won't give face and won't go by himself, so this official has to come to invite him in person." ”

The hundred households heard that Song Nan's words were not good, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want to offend Song Nan, so he arched his hand and said: "Lord Song, wait a minute, the villain will report it for you." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Brother Lao, by the way, tell Xiong Qianhu and bring a change of clothes, I'm afraid he will have to take it with me for a few days." ”

The hundred households were in a pang of heart, and they didn't answer, but turned around and hurried towards the camp.

Wang Yong said worriedly on the back of the horse beside Song Nan: "My lord, as soon as you say this, how can Xiong Wan come out?" He must have known that we didn't have the right intentions. ”

Song Nan sneered: "If I don't say that, he won't come out, he has a ghost in his heart, how can he be willing to follow us?" Tell the brothers to get ready, I'm afraid we're going to break in and arrest someone. ”

Hou Dabiao said in a low voice: "Don't rush in, my lord, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Yangwei battalion, and 2,000 are stationed at each of the two city gates, and there are at least a few thousand people in this camp, we have no chance of winning, and my lord should not be in danger." ”

Song Nan said: "We are just arresting people, and we are not here to fight with them, if they really do it, our manpower is not less than them, our Beijing Yamen also has 15,000 or 6,000 brothers, I still have 10,000 brothers in the Shenshu Camp on hand, and I am afraid of a small Yangwei Battalion?" ”

Hou Dabiao was shocked and said: "If it makes a fuss, it's a big leak." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of, we are taking people on official business, and the people and physical evidence at hand are all there, so we can take care of it." As long as I don't do it first, I'm not afraid here; I hope that Xiong Wan's guy is a little bloody, and it would be best to arrest him later, if he is arrested, it will not be interesting. ”

Hou Dabiao and Wang Yong glanced at each other, and both nodded and said, "Humble rank understands." ”

While speaking, there seemed to be some movement at the camp gate, and the soldiers and horses guarding the camp gate suddenly increased by hundreds, and the noisy people called the horses neighing, Song Nan sat on the horse and did not move, sneering at the panicked scene at the camp gate, and after a while, the hundred households guarding the camp gate appeared in front of the camp gate with a solemn expression, and slowly walked towards the Jinyi guard queue.

"Lord Song, I'm really sorry, Xiong Qianhu is not in the camp, I'm afraid Lord Song will run for nothing." The hundred households lowered their eyes and arched their hands.

"Oh? Why didn't you say that just now? Now you say it's not there? ”

"Hmm...... Just now, the villain didn't know if he was there, and when he went in and asked, he knew that Xiong Qianhu was not in the camp. ”

"Brother, I'm afraid you haven't lied, look at your blushing, and those who haven't lied will blush when they lie; You are one of the 100 households on duty at the camp gate, as far as I know, there are registration signatures when you enter and exit the camp gate in Beijing, why don't you bring the registration book to me to see? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient, this is the internal affairs of my Yangwei camp, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for adults to take a look. ”

Song Nan stared at the eyes of the hundred households, and the eyes of the hundred households dodged, looking empty.

"Brother, don't be confused, my Jinyiwei is the palace is also to go to the palace, and the inner court is also checked, but you say it's inconvenient to take a look? If you deliberately obstruct my Jinyiwei from handling the case, I am afraid that I will have to bring you back to the Jinyiwei Yamen with you. Anyway, I have already informed you that Xiong Wan is not there, it is better for us to go in and see by ourselves, and ask this brother to make it convenient. ”

Song Nan straightened up and ordered: "Listen to the Jinyi Wei Tiqi, line up into the Yangwei camp to search for Xiong Wan's whereabouts, and arrest him immediately when he sees him, if you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

"Do as your lord orders."

"In addition, if someone in the Yangwei camp deliberately obstructs my Tiqi from handling the case, he will be punished as an accomplice." Song Nan shouted loudly, shook the reins, and the big black horse neighed and walked slowly.
