In the evening, in front of the steamed mutton shop, two men were sweating like rain, throwing off their arms and making things in the bowl.

The bowls on the table between the two were stacked like two hills, layered on top of each other, like a big stomach competition.

"Bang Chang" was another bowl thrown on the 'bowl mountain', and the sturdy man patted his stomach and smiled with satisfaction.

"Brother, I really didn't expect that our old Bao family would have this day, and people from ten miles and eight towns would not dare to mess with us casually in the future." The person who patted the belly and spoke was the same bag with a satisfied face.

Bao Yuan took a sip of mutton soup and said, "Idiot, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

Bao Butong was puzzled and asked, "Huh? Isn't that a good thing? ”

Bao Yuanqian shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Then, Butong and I ask you, what do you think is your prestige in the army?" ”

Bao Butong hissed, "Although I am stupid, I am not stupid, as if the brothers in the barracks treat me as a big fool coolie." ”

"What about your brother and me?"

"It doesn't seem to work...."

Bao Yuanqian nodded, gagged and muttered, "Then do you think we have anything to do with the boss in the yamen?" ”

Bao Butong shook his head, they knew the biggest 'official' in the yamen, that is, Jiang Wei, this little official.

Bao Yuanqian asked rhetorically: "Then we have no relationship, and second, we have no prestige, how can we get this general flag and small flag?" Especially you, lying at home for a month, inexplicably promoted, don't you feel strange? ”

Bao Butong suddenly understood, but he didn't understand, no matter what, this official position was really down.

"Butong, when you are not valued in a company, and you love to be dumped, and suddenly one day you are promoted by your boss and appointed to another position." Bao Yuanqian smiled strangely, and hit the railway while it was hot: "At this time, you have to be careful, it's not that you're lucky, it's a bad thing waiting for you to do, if you can't do it, you just wait to take the blame!" ”

"Company?"

"Hey, that's what the yamen meant, you can make do with it."

Bao Butong sighed, "Oh... So that's why you asked that big official for money? ”

Bao Yuanqian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If you want the horse to run again, how can you not feed the horse grass?" Although I don't know what kind of work it is, but Lao Tzu's advantage is not easy to take advantage of, and it is a little bit of oil and water to rip him. ”

"Brother, you have to be smart." Bao Butong smiled.

Just now, Bao Yuanqian put forward three conditions to Li Chengen, one is to go to the prison of the judge and release the two Gao family as soon as possible, and the second is to ensure that the Gao family's one-third of an acre of land is not encroached upon.

He can't control other people, but he has to take care of the Gao family's fields.

Li Chengen agreed happily, and Bao Yuanqian's third point was....

A little bit of activity funding.

Li Chengen blackened his face even though he heard it, but in the end he still took ten taels of silver to Bao Yuanqian, and secretly scolded this guy for taking advantage of the fire to rob.

It is said to be one thing, but it is three.

"Two guest officers, the night curfew time is up, and the small shop is about to close its stalls, you see..."

Bao Yuanqian's two people carried long knives on their waists, had strong figures, and were extraordinary. The shopkeeper didn't dare to provoke, and his words trembled.

"How much?"

"Uh.... This altogether is. One or two and a half pennies of silver.."

Bao Yuanqian was shocked when he heard this, so much?

immediately looked at the boss's embarrassed face, reacted, and looked at the mountain of bowls stacked on the table with himself and the cloth, adding up to more than 30 bowls.

Good fellow, the two of them haven't eaten since breakfast, they worked in the fields, and there was another fight, and when they got out of the yamen, the water and rice did not enter, and the hungry two had weak hands and feet.

"Here, this is two taels of silver, no need to cut the zero."

Bao Yuanqian took out two pieces of broken silver from his blanket and threw them to the boss, but when he saw that the boss wanted to use scissors, he stopped it.

It's rare to be generous once, and now he Bao Yuanqian is not a bad moneymaker, and the money for a meal is not a problem.

The boss's face was as bright as a flower, and he bowed to see off the two wrongs.

The two of them walked on the road, blowing the night breeze towards the flower shop.

The soldiers patrolling the road met two people, and when they saw that they dared to wander the streets during the night fast, they wanted to scold the people.

The person didn't move, but he saw the two of them take out the flag officer's waist card, looked at the two of them strangely, and left.

"Brother! It's so cool to be an official!! Bao Bu jumped wildly in the same heart, although the flag officer is only a grassroots officer, but it is completely different from the big and small soldiers.

Although Bao Yuanqian doesn't know what awaits him in the future, he is not a saint and is inevitably vulgar.

Fang just showed the sign to shake off the superiority of the patrol soldiers, which also made him a little fluttery at this time.

Before he knew it, he had already walked to the flower shop in the east of the city.

"The second household on the left..."

Bao Yuanqian looked at the mansions in the workshop and looked carefully one by one.

Unlike other places, the houses of the commoners are very close to each other, and they seem crowded.

But each household here occupies a huge area, some in addition to the main entrance, but also opened a few side doors, these courtyards with a private garden around, the interval is quite far, but it is not difficult to find.

These big families, and even some of them have exceeded the system, and they are placed in the interior of the Central Plains, and they will be sentenced to exile, but in this desert border, who cares about these things?

As long as you take care of the officials of the health center, what is overstepping? That's called Expanding the Mansion!

The two of them walked through the main entrance of the Cui family's mansion, this Cui Yingying's house is the fourth household on the left of this flower shop, and it is close to the place where they want to go.

"Right here."

The two of them looked at the Nanmu gate of the second household on the left, decorated with copper nails, and there was a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. The copper ring, which is as big as a cow's ear, is quite domineering with the two town beasts in front of the house.

"This spec... Rest at the top of the mountain, good fellow.." Bao Yuanqian was stunned, and he and his younger brother looked at this mansion, which was even more generous than Cui Yingying's family.

"Brother... We're not here to be a guard for these gentry and wealthy families, are we? "Bao Butong wonders...

"Maybe...."

"Who is staying here late at night!? Don't leave quickly! ”

Before Bao Yuanqian finished speaking, he heard a person rising on the wall of the house at some point, and looked cautiously at the door of Bao Yuanqian and the others.

Without waiting for Bao Yuanqian and the two to speak, a whistle sounded, and the three households on the left next to them and the two households on the right opposite side all turned up more than a dozen people, showing a ten-sided ambush.

This formation frightened Bao Yuanqian and the others, didn't he say in his heart? Is it here for the joint or for the dead?

"Horse bow... Bao Yuanqian, the chief flag officer, and Bao Bu, the small flag officer, came here to take up their posts on the orders of the Yamen. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a few "swish" sounds, and the people on the surrounding walls disappeared again.

For a long time, I could only hear the creaking of the door of the second house on the left, and a few people walked out of it, all dressed as small flag officials.

Several people stepped forward to light torches and checked the waist cards of Bao Yuanqian and the others, it seemed that the person was Bao Yuanqian, who seemed to know each other, and said with a strange face: "A few of us are on duty with a small flag, originally the adults explained it yesterday, but I didn't expect the general flag to come in the middle of the night, no wonder, no wonder." ”

Bao Yuanqian's face was embarrassed, but it was difficult to explain, he couldn't say that he had just been taken out of prison, right?

The men ushered Bao Yuanqian into the mansion and closed the door.

But everyone didn't know that in the distance, a dark shadow flashed by.

This is a four-entry courtyard, one is more than 20 people dressed as servants, Bao Yuanqian knew at a glance that it was some military practitioners.

A few small flags asked Bao Yuanqian all the way, who were the people he was guarding, so mysterious.

After all, only Bao Yuanqian and the two of them can go deep into it, but Bao Yuanqian was given a gag order by Li Chengen, and this Lord Deng's forty military sticks are not easy to bear.

"Lord Zongqi, a few of us can only send you here, and we can't get inside."

Everyone walked to the door of the three entrances, and a small flag retreated.

Bao Yuanqian nodded, and went in with Bao Butong.

"When did this pack of tartars become the general flag? That little bag of tartars is also mixed with a small flag? ”

"Who knows! Hmph, shit luck. ”

"Will this convince the public? Why is he the general flag? According to me, Brother Lu should be the general flag only in terms of seniority, where is his turn. ”

"Okay, don't break your mouth and do your own thing."

Not long after the two entered, a few small flags and their soldiers began to discuss.

Bao Yuanqian entered the courtyard of Sijin, but met a thin figure head-on, Bao Yuanqian was surprised!

I saw that this person was none other than the official of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who was captured by himself that day, and he must be thorough!!

Bao Yuanqian was shocked, and an extremely bad thought flashed out.

Hurriedly walked up the stairs with a knife, only to see a woman dressed in a Ming woman's costume walking out of the house, looking at herself.

She wears a conservative horse-faced skirt, a subtle collared jacket, and a dignified hairpin.

But this woman herself is incompatible with her clothes, and no matter how dignified and subtle her clothes are, they can't hide her natural liveliness, wildness and vitality.

I saw that in the dark night, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled at herself, and her bright eyes seemed to be able to shine through the slits of her eyes.

Just as holy and immaculate as the crescent moon in the sky, unstained with dust, strong and unyielding to dispel the gloom of the night.

Although a smile is not as dignified as Cui Yingying's desire to refuse and welcome, it is more generous and graceful.

Looking at Bao Yuanqian, he was uneasy, and secretly said that this woman was terrible, and she had no time to take care of her life in the desert in the past, but she didn't expect that she could have such a temperament while wearing Central Plains clothes.

"Long time no see! Batu. I only heard a neat and crisp sound, and I saw her red lips open and close, which made the three souls go to the seven spirits.
