It didn't take long for Li Siye to walk out of the courtyard again and see the lazy vendors sitting under the opposite wall to cool off. He was just about to open his mouth to beckon them to go, when the courtyard door next door creaked open, and he stepped out of the threshold in a plain Luo skirt, when he suddenly saw many men sitting opposite, and hurriedly hid his face and prepared to retreat.

Xu Niangzi turned her head to look at Li Siye standing at the gate of the courtyard, stopped her steps back, and gave him a salute one by one: "Li Lang." ”

"," Li Siye pointed to the clean ground and asked, "You helped sweep the front of my yard?" Thank you. ”

Xu Niangzi nodded reservedly: "Li Lang is polite, it's just that when the house was cleaned, I asked him to clean the front of your house." ”

She walked up to Li Siye and half-covered her lips and whispered: "Last night, there were thieves snooping outside Li Lang's door, but there were only maids and maids in the concubine's house, so she didn't dare to risk herself, so she had to let go of the barking dog, and I don't know whether to drive away the thieves." ”

In the end, she actually covered her mouth and smiled, probably because the scene at that time brought novelty to her ordinary life in addition to the excitement.

"Really?" Li Siye was suddenly a little at a loss, but he had helped himself so much after meeting several times, he didn't know how to thank his neighbors.

"Thank you."

"Why does Li Lang need to thank each other, since ancient times, neighbors should help each other, this is what should do."

She raised her head and sniffed left and right, and asked in surprise, "What does Li Lang smell like, so fragrant." ”

"Oh." Li Siye took out the sachet from his arms: "It may be this thing, I just went to the Wenji incense shop in Dunyifang...... Bought. ”

"Wen Ji incense shop?" The woman was born with no resistance to fragrance, and she asked Li Siye repeatedly: "Which lane is it in Dunyifang?" Southern or Northern Curve? Is there a cover for the store? I also want to buy such a sachet, it's just inconvenient to go out. ”

"It should be Beiqu, alas, why bother." Li Siye reached out and grabbed Xu Niangzi's hand and stuffed the sachet into her hand. "It's for you, it's my thank you."

Her slightly cold onion white fingers retracted like an electric shock, her cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly bowed her head shyly and said, "Thank you Li Langjun." ”

Before Li Siye could react, she had already fled back to her courtyard.

Li Siye exhaled in annoyance, he almost forgot that he couldn't treat ancient and modern women as such. When he turned around, he found that the 'bodyguards' who followed him were all squatting in a row under the wall, holding their chins with their hands, as if they were watching a play.

"Let's go, go back to West City."

The vendors were not in awe of the president, and whispered behind him: "President Li Lang, that lady was interesting to you just now, she turned out to be a married woman. ”

"This lady has a handsome face, but she is too thin, and there are not a few taels of flesh on her body.

Li Siye turned around and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense to other people's ladies, don't say anything incivil, this is etiquette, you know?" ”

The group was no longer angry, Li Siye just shook his head, and everyone walked quickly to prepare to return to Xishi.

He's a little understaffed now, and he's on the territory of the Bearfire Gang. This group of people managed in mission mode has no loyalty at all, and it's okay to bully more and less, but when they encounter a strong enemy, they are definitely faster than rabbits.

As soon as they entered the south gate of the West Market, they happened to encounter grains of sand. This young man was like a cheerful pigeon, his clothes were ragged and he was carrying a basket and jumping in front of him: "Li Lang, Jiang Tongbao They found out some details, the boss of the Xionghuo Gang is called Feng Dalun, his official identity is the head of the Jiupin Yu Department of the Ministry of Industry, and the people he knows are all officials of his rank. Nothing else has been found. ”

Li Siye stopped, thinking in his heart that he was really a man in the officialdom, and his current ability to deal with the ruffians and hooligans was okay, but if the other party used the government to deal with him, he would not have any tricks at all.

He can't dislike the prince's danger anymore, solve the immediate danger first, and then think about the future, it's time to hug the prince's thigh.

Li Siye looked up at the scene, the sunset had already set to Jinguangmen, and there would be a curfew in another hour, and there was not enough time today, so he had to wait for tomorrow morning to go to the Ewang Mansion.

He led everyone back to Li Ji's scallion cake shop in the alley, and the fourteen "bodyguards" around him took the initiative to stand on both sides of the store. Originally, there were two people who came to buy cakes, but when they suddenly saw such a battle, they thought this was a gangster's den, and hurriedly waved their hands and left.

Gao Shi was still in the store, holding a book in his hand and reading hard at the sunset, and the grains of sand followed him in.

When the sound of the bell came from the drum tower of the Municipal Bureau, the guests who were still lingering heard the sound of the bell closing the market and left in a hurry, and the lively street fell cold in an instant.

Li Siye sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling inexplicably a little uneasy. A few people outside were discussing how to rotate, and more than a dozen people couldn't sleep in this shop at night, and the smell of feet alone was unbearable.

"Where is Li Siye?"

He looked out the door, and a streamer in a dark green round-necked robe was standing outside, followed by two martial marquis wearing cloth armor and hanging sticks from their waists.

The little official suddenly saw the fourteen big men outside the shop, and was so shocked that he retreated half a step, as if he was hesitating to bring more people over, but he still didn't retreat.

Li Siye stood up, walked to the door and bowed his head slightly, and said to the official condescendingly: "I am, what is the matter with me." ”

The little official put his hands behind his back and said: "A certain is the warden of the West City Bureau, and I am specially ordered by the bureau to summon you." ”

Sha Li was taken aback, and poked his head out from behind Li Siye with a basket; Gao Shi stopped reading and frowned slightly; The fourteen big men looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Li Siye said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

The pawn breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and walked in front, and the two martial marquis followed behind Li Siye left and right, they held the sticks in their hands, still unable to feel at ease.

The West City Department is located in the middle of the West Market facing the main city tower facing the North Heng Street, the base is five zhang high, there are three arches below, and the door pile is set up, and the ox and horse cart of the officially designated wheelbase can pass. There are masonry steps and railings next to the base, and there are three floors of mountain-style heavy eaves on it, and the red columns are arranged alternately.

On the top floor are the Drum Pavilion and the Cymbal Pavilion, which are used to direct the opening and closing of the market, the second floor is the office area of the Decree and the Bureau, and the rooms on the third floor are the duty offices of the government officials and Shi and other foreign officials.

Li Siye was taken to the second floor by the pawn, and through the inner corridor, the pawn leaned into one of the pavilions, and reported with a forked hand: "Agency, the merchant Li Siye has been brought." ”

"Bring him in."

The two martial marquis brought Li Siye into the pavilion, and then bowed and withdrew, and even the ceremony slowly retreated.

He stood facing him with his hands behind his back, wearing a black gauze with soft feet, a dark blue round-necked robe, a belt hanging from his waist, and black leather hexaly boots. Next to him is the Xuanxi curved foot case, and a screen is displayed behind the case, on which the distribution map of shops in various areas of the West City is drawn with delicate pen and ink.

Shu Cheng turned around slowly, and when he saw Li Siye, he was stunned for a moment, raised his head and raised his beard and asked, "You are the 'cake tyrant' Li Siye who is rampant in the West Market?" ”

Cake tyrant?

Li Siye's mouth opened wide in shock, he didn't know that someone had given him such a nickname?

"Agency, I'm Li Siye, but I'm not a cake tyrant, and I haven't run rampant in the West Market."
