On the side of Jing'an Division, Zhang Xiaojing was released and came to the main hall with Li Yuanying and his party.

He Zhizheng and Li Biquan both looked at Zhang Xiaojing, waiting for him to give an explanation, Zhang Xiaojing said: "Que Lehodo is a fire robbery, and the wolf guard wants to set fire to the city, and immediately seal all the oil mills in the city. ”

The two of them were shocked, and Li Bilang said: "Yutu! ”

Soon, everyone came to a large Chang'an map hanging on the side, Xu Bin climbed the ladder and marked on it, "Forty leaks, thirty-seven squares, a fire, within four hours, the fire will spread to thirty-seven miles." If multiple places are set on fire at the same time, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

A solemn look appeared on everyone's faces.

Zhang Xiaojing reminded: "Four hours, have you taken into account the paper lanterns all over the street?" ”

Bowing down, Xu Bin nodded and said: "Zhang Duwei is right, the paper lanterns all over the street, and they are connected by several squares, and a fire together is the trend of burning the company camp." There were many people on the street, and Wu Hou couldn't run if he wanted to put out the fire, and he didn't know how many lives he would injure. ”

Li Bi's brows furrowed even deeper.

Zhang Xiaojing stepped forward and asked, "How is the oil mill checking?" ”

Xu Bin expressed embarrassment.

"What can't be said?" Zhang Xiaojing shouted.

Xu Bin bowed his head and said: "Confucius has checked all the oil mills in the city, and checked cooked oil, sesame oil, rapeseed cake, and turnip seed cake one by one, whether it is for the royal workshop or the private workshop in the palace, they have all been checked, without exception. The owner is also required to submit a transaction details within one month. Some shopkeepers were reluctant to pay and had a conflict with Wuhou, each with its own injuries. ”

He Zhizheng was surprised: "Yufang also checked?" ”

Li Bi bowed down and said, "Duwei Zhang has the right to act. ”

"Check the Imperial Fang, I'm afraid it's going to be against the dragon scales!" He Zhizheng persuaded bitterly, and secretly said in his heart that a group of young boys were reckless.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't bother to care about these twists and turns of the upper level, and continued to drink and ask: "Result? ”

Confucius trotted to deliver an archival letter, "It's all here, it's all here......"

Zhang Xiaojing snatched it and opened it to take a look, but fell into silence.

"How's the out-of-town storehouse?"

Xu Bin replied: "The grease declaration has always been a separate item in the city gate supervision, focusing on investigation, and there is no abnormality. ”

He Zhizheng's expression was entangled, "I have offended so many people, there is no abnormality?" ”

Li Bichai asked, "Is there anything missing that hasn't been checked?" ”

Xu Bin shook his head, no, "All the oil transactions that exceeded five stones in a month, except for the use in the palace, have all been checked." ”

Zhang Xiaojing raised his head and asked, "Except for the use in the palace?" Why don't you check the degree in the palace? ”

"Huh? Do you want to check the emperor's accounts? ”

"Check! Why not check? Isn't Jing'an Division extraordinary? Zhang Xiaojing stared at Li Bi.

Li Bi was also angry, and reminded loudly: "Zhang Duwei, it takes time to submit a submission to check the accounts in the palace......

"Aren't you trying to save the people of Chang'an? Isn't it okay to be unruly? How many people have died in the line of duty for this matter today? Life is gone, you are here to weigh the official document procedure? ”

He Zhizheng paused on crutches and persuaded: "You must be able to keep Jing'an Si ...... first."

"I'm just going to catch the wolf guard!"

Angry, He Zhizheng got up on crutches and scolded: "If Jing'an Si is gone, who can support you to catch the wolf guard?" ”

Xu Bin, the head of the eighth grade, leaned closer and explained in a low voice: "He Jian is angry, the people say that this person is the five Yamas, because the brothers of life and death were killed, and in a fit of anger, he killed thirty-five members of the Xionghuo Gang, and one official of Dali Temple. Just now, Yao Wei sent someone to report and caught the wolf guard of Huaiyuanfang, but five bad people were killed. Zhang Xiaojing is a bad handsome, and the people around him are his taboo. ”

After a moment of silence, He Zhizheng opened his mouth to break the deadlock and said, "Zhang Xiaojing, you come with me." ”

Bringing people to his living room, He Zhizheng lit incense with his own hands, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xiaojing, and then said slowly: "Have you heard of a nursery rhyme in the market? Jasper is made into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down green silk, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. ”

"The boy in the city has been passed down for a year, isn't it your masterpiece?" Zhang Xiaojing doesn't understand, why is he talking about this?

With a long sigh, He Zhizheng smiled bitterly: "Poetry is like a knife, if you can't hold it, you shouldn't do it wantonly." Do you know how someone explained this psalm to a saint? ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaojing didn't speak, Old Man He explained to himself: "The jasper is made up to be a tree high, and the prince has become a trend; 10,000 hanging down the green silk, and there are many followers in the court; I don't know who cut out the thin leaves? Who is responsible for this? The spring breeze in February is like scissors! The attitude of the saint who seems to be warm and cold is the initiator. ”

Zhang Xiaojing's fists tightened and loosened, obviously his heart was not calm, did he really not understand this? has been a bad handsome man in Chang'an for nine years, even if he listens to the people's discussions every day, he can understand it. He just doesn't want to understand, and even disgusts the power struggle of officialdom, he just wants to do practical things, and he doesn't have time to talk about it here.

"The saint has heard this rumor for a long time, but he has not endured it so far."

Zhang Xiaojing asked mockingly: "Did you mean it?" ”

"The saint said yes, no, yes."

Zhang Xiaojing asked again: "Then did the prince have a party?" ”

"The sage said that there is, there is no ......"

Zhang Xiaojing finally got impatient and said loudly: "I don't have time to guess riddles with you!" ”

He Zhizheng was silent, slowly stood up, and walked over to look directly at Zhang Xiaojing, who was full of fierceness, "The sage prevents the prince from befriending young courtiers, if he finds out, he is suspected of forming a party and plotting rebellion, and he can be sentenced to death!" Only Li Bi, who has been cultivating for ten years, is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and his association with the prince is not suspected. ”

Zhang Xiaojing sneered: "Li Bixiao's fox is the prince's secret stake? Hehe, I guessed it a long time ago. ”

"Therefore, only Li Bi is in the court, secretly communicating for the prince, encompassing young talents from all over the world, and laying a foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty tomorrow! He can't be wrong today, and Jing'an Division can't be wrong either. If you catch the wolf guard, the mission of Jing'an Division will be completed, and if you do it again, it will be a mistake! This mistake will implicate a lot of people, you, understand? Old man He looked at Zhang Xiaojing helplessly and explained.

Zhang Xiaojing can see it, this old man probably doesn't want the wolf guard to end so early, the Jing'an Division was established to catch wolves, if the wolf guard is all taken, will the Jing'an Division be entrusted with another important task, or will it be disbanded on the spot on the grounds that the mission is completed?

On the one hand, you want to catch wolves and make meritorious contributions, and on the other hand, you want to keep the existence of Jing'an Division? I want to take the opportunity to hide from the saint and rely on Jing'an Division to win over talents, so that I can form a party for the prince, and I don't want to be honest? How can there be such a good thing in the world?

What else can you do if you are so worried about throwing a bogey? Net toss Lao Tzu.

Here, He Zhi was giving Zhang Xiaojing a lesson, and outside Tan Qi privately reported something else to Li Bi, "Son's forgiveness, Tan Qi did not bring back the shadow girl." Tan Qi rushed to Yanshoufang Kangju, and as soon as he arrived, he saw that the door was wide open, and the shadow girl hung the beam of the house, which was desperate. ”

"Dead?" Li Bi was surprised and asked, "What about Li Huayupei?" ”

Tan Qi shook his head, "I rummaged through the house, but I couldn't find anything." There is only one possibility - someone took it. ”

Li Bi said in a deep voice: "Only you and I know that the shadow girl is hiding in Kangju ......"

Tan Qi reminded: "Now it seems that there should be one more person." ”

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke. Li Bi paced for a moment and said worriedly: "If you let others know, you and I will investigate the illegal evidence of the right minister, and the right minister will definitely deal with the prince." ”

Tan Qi took out an object from his body, "I smelled a special aroma on the shadow girl, strong and sharp, and the smell was unforgettable. But before in Kangju, there has never been such a fragrance. Although each incense shop in Chang'an City has its own secret method of spice allocation, if you take the pieces of clothes on the shadow girl's body and ask them one by one, you should know who made it. ”

Li Bi took the corner of the clothes stained with spices, and sighed: "There are millions of people in Chang'an, and there are 12 out of 10 people who are accustomed to spices, and there are hundreds of thousands, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea." ”

"But now, there's no other way."

Li Bi clenched his fists and slammed it on the trunk beside him, "I have been planning carefully for months, and I thought I was in control of everything." Hey, the Taoist ancestor is merciful, and the avenue is impermanent, but as long as you move forward and don't retreat, there will always be bright willows. ”

Now, there is only self-comfort.
