Away from the hustle and bustle at the White Bridge, Song Nan and Li Daniu quickly rushed back to the inn where they had stayed; The reason for leaving early was not because he was afraid that Zhou Gongzi would be watching and provoking, but because Song Nan was unwilling to reveal his identity.

In addition, everything was a little strange tonight, and the news he heard and the people he saw made Song Nan feel faintly uneasy in his heart. Naturally, he wouldn't go to check his identity with the suspected guest Fang Qingshan, nor would he take a look at who was in the cabin of the luxury ship moored in the best position, and there were already many things worth digesting on the first night he came to Nanjing City.

After going ashore, the front of the inn was empty, and the two wind lamps swayed on the porch, looking extremely deserted.

"Brother, I'll go to live in the yamen tonight, so as not to cause any extraneous branches." Li Daniu also realized that tonight's events were unusual, and whispered in a low voice.

Song Nan nodded slowly, although he couldn't make sense, but now he always felt strange in his heart, he came to Nanjing to slaughter Gu Dayong, and asked if the princess's personal female official had leaked anything about the dragon robe, or hurry up to end this matter, he has been having a bad time recently, but don't make trouble.

The two of them emerged from the shadows under the willow trees on the shore, entered the inn and arrived at the backyard guest room, Song Nan had no intention of alarming the shopkeeper, so he took a flint fire sickle and lit a candle. The moment the firelight lit up, Song Nan was so frightened that he almost screamed.

I saw that on the chair in the room, there were four black-clothed men, and the moment the firelight lit up, they all stood up, Song Nan's cold hair stood upside down, his body jumped back, his palm turned over, and the dagger on his waist was already in his hand. Li Daniu next door heard the movement and quickly rushed over, already holding a dagger in his hand.

"Don't panic, sir, the lowly prince will see the commander of the envoy." The four men in the room suddenly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Song Nan was shocked, frowned, and said, "Wang Zitong? Nanjing Jinyi Wei General Commander? ”

"It's the humble duty, I learned that the lord came to Nanjing in person, and the humble duty failed to greet him, and I hope that the lord will forgive the sin." Wang Zitong is tall, majestic, about forty years old, powerful, and bright-eyed.

"That's how you people greet people? Doesn't that scare people out of the way? Li Daniu scolded.

Wang Zitong arched his hand and said: "What Li Qianhu said is true, but I can't wait, I didn't go to the yamen after the adult entered the city, but fortunately, the brothers found out where the adult stayed, so I had to bring someone in person." It is estimated that the adults came in disguise, and they must not want to reveal their identities, so they did not dare to make a noise after coming here, so they had to wait in the guest room. ”

Song Nan sighed, relieved in his heart, so he ordered Li Daniu to close the door, waved his hand and asked Wang Zitong to get up and sit down, and Wang Zitong bowed down and introduced the three brocade guards of Nanjing City to Song Nan. Nanjing Jinyi Wei set up a left-behind general office, set up a left-behind general office command envoy, the level is equivalent to the Jinyi Guard's command envoy commanding the officer, subordinate to the three thousand households in Nanjing City. The four people in this room are the four chief officers of the Nanjing City Jinyi Guard Department.

"What about Wang Yong and Zheng Da? Why didn't they come? After sitting down, Song Nan asked.

"Wang Yanshi Zheng Deputy Zhenfu took people to find adults, I heard that adults went to Baiqiao to watch the Oiran Competition, Wang Yanshi was waiting here, and he took a few brothers to Baiqiao to find adults."

Song Nan sighed, knowing that Baiqiao was close to the crowd, and he was hiding on the flower boat in Yunxiao Pavilion, Wang Yong and Zheng Da were afraid that it would not be easy to find themselves.

"Commander, I implore you to move to the yamen to live, it's not too good to live here. Ansheng, this is also the meaning of Wang Yanshi; Please leave here with your honorable ranks. The prince hugged his fists.

Song Nan said with a smile: "I also have this intention, even if you don't come, I also plan to pack up my things and go to live in the yamen." You order someone to inform Wang Yong, and we'll see you in the yamen." In addition, I have some questions I want to ask clearly, let's talk in the yamen. ”

The prince said happily: "That's good, let's set off here, the general office is at the intersection of Wanliu Street in the east, and we will arrive with our feet." Cheng Qianhu, you go to Wanfulou and order a table of banquets to send to the yamen, and we will give the commander to the master to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

That Cheng Qianhu said: "At this point, Wanfulou is afraid that it will be closed." ”

Wang Zitong frowned and said, "Can't you open the furnace when it's closed?" If there is a business, they still don't do it? Go, go, go. Cheng Qianhu hurriedly turned around to do it, Song Nan wanted to tell them not to bother, but they didn't want to do it after thinking about it, it was common for their superiors to come, and it was common for subordinates to pick up the wind, if they didn't let them be busy, it would make them feel uneasy. Thinking about the situation when the owner of Wanfulou was forced to get up and prepare the banquet, Song Nan couldn't help but care, these are all small sections, although he is very strict with the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but in fact, there is no need to overkill, and the things that disturb the people will not be eliminated no matter what.

Li Daniu packed up the clothes for Song Nan, called the little two who were on duty in the lobby to settle the room money, gave more rewards, pulled the horse out of the inn, and walked east along the north bank of the Qinhuai River.

A few people flashed under the willow trees by the river, waiting for the waves of people to flow by, listening to the people's talk about tonight's Oiran contest.

"Tonight is really exciting, in the end, the Jin family gave a reward of 35,000 taels of silver. The United States has been sent to the top ten, but it is really a cost. Actually, let me say, this Guo Mei. Beauty is enough except for a pair of eyes. Sao, the talent is nothing extraordinary, compared to several other Oiran, it is too far behind. I don't know what Jin Dashao thinks. ”

"The world of the rich is something you can understand? Jin Dashao is just a mouthful, people are Wang Ba's eyes on mung beans, but you are worried about him. My favorite is Qiu Yuelou's Gu Lianlian, as long as she is there, she must be an Oiran, and everyone else is a supporting role. ”

"That's not necessarily, Shen Ruyan of Yunxiao Pavilion suddenly exerted his strength and ranked second, I'm afraid the outcome of this Oiran battle is still unknown. I admire Shen Ruyan a little, tonight's song of walking on the road of life sang my soul flew, and I almost cried; Hey, the talent is high, the sludge is not stained, and the mind is very strong. What if such a woman can marry and live for 20 years? ”

"Don't say it, I'm losing my teeth when it's sour. Your brother still doesn't understand.,This Oiran competition is not exactly about talent and ability.,When the two are on par.,It's the back. The toughness of the table. Five of the top ten famous buildings in Qinhuai have changed hands. Who are you in Taitung? Yunxiao Pavilion can't fight Qiuyue Tower, and Shen Ruyan will never be Gu Lian's opponent, just wait and see. ”

"That's not necessarily, even if there is the prince of Jiangxi as the queen. Taiwan, is this selection still fair, everyone sees in their eyes, so many pairs of eyes are rubbed with sand? Besides, Tang Yinwen Zhengming's invited judgments don't seem to be people who go against their will, and they want to take it. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”

"Come on, it's useless for you and my brother to be poor here, wait and see, let's watch it tonight, how about we find a tavern to get drunk?"

"Walking...... That's exactly what I mean. ”

“……”

In the gossip, the crowd walked by in groups, Song Nan stopped in his ears, and roughly knew the result of tonight, Gu Lianlian seemed to be firmly in the first place, Shen Yunyan's second seat was not shaken, and the link of rewarding and canvassing in the back seemed to be a little hot, and the Kaizi named Jin Dashao rewarded 35,000 taels, that is, he added seven votes to that Guo Mei out of thin air. Beauty, let this Guo Mei. The United States made it to the top 10.

Actually, tonight, Song Nan didn't know why he wanted to help Shen Yunyan, needless to say, the previous righteousness and courage were wise and punished the evil, and when he saw a shameless person like Zhou Gongzi, Song Nan would make a move, and what he did later was not necessary.

Song Nan can swear to the sky, he is definitely not greedy for Shen Yunyan's beauty, although Shen Yunyan is beautiful, but compared with the wives and concubines in the Song Mansion, it is still a little worse, maybe he wants to compete with that Fang Qingshan, or maybe he is after hearing that famous buildings such as Qiuyue Building and Shuiyue Building are tough. Taiwan, forcing Yunxiao Pavilion and other places to have no place to live, and the heart of helping the weak, in short, Song Nan didn't understand the meaning of what he did tonight.

At the time of the third watch, in the back hall of the general office of Nanjing Jinyi Wei on Wanliu Street, a table of hot wine and food was placed on the table, Song Nan, Wang Yong, Zheng Da, Prince Tong and Li Daniu sat around, Wang Zitong held a wine jar, and poured a large bowl of brown wine into each person's big bowl.

"This is Huadiao wine, Nanjing city is now popular to drink this, it is said that it can be fitness and warm the stomach to nourish yin and yang, the adults said that they were afraid of drinking spirits and making mistakes, so they took this wine out."

"Very good." Song Nan smiled and picked up the bowl, leaned under his nose and smelled it, there was indeed some medicinal gas; smiled: "This wine is very good, come, let's do this bowl and talk about business." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them, wiped their mouths and lips, and waited for Song Nan to speak.

Song Nan chewed a duck's foot and swallowed it, and said to Wang Yong: "How are you doing?" I'm here to do it myself, but have you arranged it? ”
