After Father-in-law Fu left, Xiao Zheng thought about a lot of things, including the past, the chaos of the present, and plans for the future. I don't know when I fell asleep, but the time I woke up didn't change.

After practicing Tu Na on the rockery in the backyard, Laixi has already made people prepare breakfast, accustomed to coarse tea and light rice, and this kind of life of brocade clothes and jade food is still more comfortable after coming back.

Trying to adapt and change who he has been in the past seven years is what he needs to do now.

Looking at the bustling crowd around and listening to the shouting of the streets, Xiao Zheng is also full of confidence in the future, this is what Dayu should look like!

Walking into the official office of the Criminal Department, someone immediately greeted him, "May I ask if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?" ”

"Well, is Lord Guan here?" Xiao Zheng looked at the person in front of him wearing the official uniform of the Criminal Department and asked.

"Lord Guan is in the internal office, and I will call Lord Guan immediately." Saying that, he ran to the inner office, "Lord Guan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"

Before entering the inner office, Guan Shirong had already led the officials of the Criminal Department to walk quickly, bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the ministers have missed the distance, and I hope His Royal Highness will atone for his sins." ”

"You don't need to be polite, this king is here to ask you for advice, you go and get busy first, let Lord Guan take this king around" Xiao Zheng said as he walked.

Guan Shirong took Xiao Zheng to understand the general process of the Criminal Department, and then entered his official office, made tea, and asked Xiao Zheng if he had any other questions.

Xiao Zheng pretended to think for a while, "Lord Guan, this king heard you say yesterday that you are maintaining law and order in various places to prevent someone from committing murder against the scholars who are rushing to take the exam, right?" ”

Guan Shirong immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness, this is what Wechen has been focusing on recently. ”

"Is there anything important to capture?"

"I haven't received a report yet, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any clues?" Guan Shirong guessed that Xiao Zheng should not provoke this topic for no reason.

"When the former Japanese king entered Beijing, he happened to be on the same road with a scholar, and he encountered a man in black blocking the road and robbing him.

"It's Weichen's dereliction of duty, Weichen immediately focused on this matter and explained it to His Highness." Guan Shirong is a veteran of officialdom, so he is naturally clear about what is happening these days.

"It's not to give an explanation to the king, it's to give an explanation to the scholars who are rushing to take the exam, and to give an explanation to the people of Dayu." Xiao Zheng corrected Guan Shirong's rhetoric.

"Yes, yes, Weichen will do it", he said and ordered someone to supervise this matter, and he didn't know how to investigate, where to start, because the main owner had already entered Beijing, and those people must have disappeared long ago.

This is also where Xiao Zheng tests him, if he can catch the relevant criminals, it can not only prove his ability, but also prove his loyalty. If it can't be caught, then it's debatable.

By the time he came back after ordering the men, Xiao Zheng had already finished drinking tea and got up to prepare to go out.

"Your Highness, where are you going? Wechen leads the way for you. Guan Shirong couldn't figure out the prince's context, so he could only ask if there was a place to serve.

"It's okay, you go back and change your clothes, let's go out for a walk, this king has just come back, and he really needs someone who is familiar with the capital to lead the way" Xiao Zheng really wants to go out for a walk, and he must first be familiar with the capital.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, Weichen will go and change his clothes immediately"

Guan Shirong quickly changed his clothes, looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "I don't know where Your Highness wants to go around?" ”

"Where is the liveliest place?" Xiao Zheng really couldn't figure out where to go.

Guan Shirong thought for a while, "If you want to talk about liveliness, in addition to the market in Xicheng, it is the Canaan Temple in Nancheng." It is said that Canaan Temple is very effective, the incense is vigorous, and there are more good men and women. Recently, many scholars and family members have gone to Canaan Temple to offer incense in order to seek the high school gold list. ”

"Okay, then let's go to Canaan Temple." Xiao Zheng also purely wanted to see the excitement.

All the way out of the south city, people have been in an endless stream, men and women coming and going, some in groups, walking together, some single shoulder baskets, in a hurry, and some large families take a sedan chair to go, so it is not lively.

Xiao Zheng listened to their discussions all the way, most of them asked for signatures and made wishes, and some ruffians wanted to disturb the people, but they didn't dare to blatantly commit murder when they saw that there were many people. Walking all the way to the door of the temple and looking at the crowded crowd, Xiao Zheng had no idea of going in. He turned and walked to the less crowded sidewalk.

"Your Highness, there is a side door up here, it is prepared by Canaan Temple for large families, it is not so crowded, if Your Highness wants to go in, we can go through the side door." Guan Shirong is obviously quite familiar with Canaan Temple.

"We're a big family, so let's go through the side door," Xiao Zheng walked forward with a smile.

"Your Highness is joking, you are the biggest family in the world~hehe~" Guan Shirong saw that Xiao Zheng was in a good mood now, and he also made jokes. Junko laughed too.

The three of them were walking forward slowly, and they saw someone in front of them stopping a sedan chair, the three of them were wearing cotton robes, with their backs to Xiao Zheng, and in front of the sedan chair stood a girl dressed as a maid, about twenty years old, with a frosty face, looking at the three people in front of them, "Do you know whose sedan chair you stopped?" ”

"It doesn't matter whose sedan chair it is, I see that the little lady inside is really handsome," a tall bandit with a long face among the three shouted arrogantly.

"That's it, anyway, our brother will leave the capital soon, let's be happy first, and then talk about it, who does it matter whose sedan chair you are?" Another bandit walked towards the sedan chair with a lewd smile.

The "bold" girl flew out of her palm and slapped it at the man, obviously her kung fu was not low. The bandit didn't expect this girl to be so strong in martial arts that he hurriedly fled to the side. Seeing this, the other two also moved forward, and they turned out to be martial arts people, and their shots were extraordinary. The first bandit to shoot just wanted to continue to shoot, when he saw Xiao Zheng and the three of them walking towards this side.

The bandit looked at Xiao Zheng who was walking in front, as if he remembered something, and suddenly pointed at Xiao Zheng arrogantly, "What do you see, stinky driver, get out of the way, don't delay Lao Tzu's good deeds!" ”

"Stinky driver? What stinks to catch a car? Suddenly, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Chunzi glanced at each other, and laughed in unison, "What do you really want, you can still meet these three fools here." ”

The girl in front of her was fighting with the other two bandits, only to see her turn around and kick the tall bandit, and she spun back to the sedan chair in the air, and shouted loudly, "Even the sedan chair of the Qingguo Mansion dares to stop it, you are impatient~"

The other two also saw that this maid was a bit tricky, and they would not be able to succeed for a while, and looked at Xiao Zheng and the three of them, afraid that someone would come over again, so they had the idea of retreating.

At this time, Xiao Zheng and the three of them suddenly changed their faces, and there were no officials in the capital who didn't know the relationship between the Qingguo Mansion and the prince, plus a maid and a sedan chair, and they could instantly guess who was sitting in the sedan chair.

Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to speak, Xiao Chunzi and Guan Shirong had already flown forward, "Looking for death!" ”

The two of them made a killing move, and Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "Keep it alive!" ”

The two of them stopped in time, and instantly beat the three bandits to the ground and collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Zheng watched the three of them fall into the net, turned his face and smiled and walked towards the sedan chair.

The maid girl thanked her, "Thank you for your help." ”

Xiao Zheng suddenly had an urge to meet the people in the sedan chair, whether it was the mother concubine or the words of the three bandits, it made Xiao Zheng feel a strong curiosity again, could it be that he, the princess who had not passed through the door, really looked like a fairy? "Yes, you don't have to be polite."

The maid naturally thought that he was polite, and didn't think much about it, turned around and gave Xiao Zheng a gesture of please, "Childe, please~", and then waved to the sedan chair man, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly stopped in front of the sedan chair, "Girl, slow down, I don't know if I can see you below... Meet the person in the sedan chair," he was a little embarrassed to say.

The maid obviously misunderstood Xiao Zheng's meaning, "Son, please respect yourself~"

At this time, the person in the sedan chair spoke and stopped the maid who wanted to get angry, but he didn't panic, "Thank you Gongzi for helping, if it is convenient for Gongzi, you can go to Qingguo Mansion, and my father will have a good reward." This voice is tactful and decent, and anyone can imagine that the person in the sedan must be an extraordinary-looking lady.

Xiao Zheng smiled towards the sedan chair, "The girl misunderstood, I just want to meet you~"

When these words came out, Xiao Chunzi and Guan Shirong hurriedly held back a smile and looked aside, "Isn't this more misunderstood?" ”

Sure enough, the maid immediately stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Zheng, "Presumptuous, you are as shameless as these three bandits!" ”

The person in the sedan chair was obviously also angry and did not speak again.

Xiao Zheng also had a headache, and he wanted to explain but was embarrassed to say, "Girl, don't misunderstand, I'll explain it to you alone~"

The maid was already impatient, "You scoundrel, don't blame me for being unkind if you don't get out of the way!" ”

It's a little embarrassing now, Xiao Zheng is not easy to shoot, standing in front of the sedan car is not to walk away, not to go away.

At this time, Guan Shirong glanced at Xiao Chunzi and gave him a look of "do you want to help".

Xiao Chunzi immediately understood, and made a move at the same time as Guan Shirong to control the maid.

The two masters shot at the same time, which is the opponent? was instantly clicked on the acupoint, and the sedan chair man didn't know martial arts, so he was directly subdued.

Then Xiao Chunzi gave Xiao Zheng a "don't go yet" look, Xiao Zheng pretended to cough, walked to the front of the sedan chair, and slowly lifted the sedan curtain.

Seeing each other, Xiao Zheng saw a pretty face with a flowery face and a moon-like appearance, even if the complexion was like frost at this time, it still couldn't hide that peerless face.

No wonder the mother concubine also likes her very much, who can not like such a look? What's more, he's a man who hasn't seen many women since he became an adult.

The heart that has not been messed up for many years also began to accelerate in an instant, and all the words that I had just thought about were forgotten, and I was stunned in front of the sedan chair.

I didn't even hear the insults from the mouth of the maid behind me. Xiao Chunzi hurriedly nodded the girl's dumb hole, and the anxious maid's face turned red suddenly but she couldn't make a sound.

And what Cui still sees in his eyes is a handsome face, with a fair complexion, sharp edges and corners, and a slender body, not at all like a prodigal son who does not know the number of etiquette.

But his dull eyes and the act of swallowing saliva made him very obscene.

Cui still turned his face away in disgust, and stretched out his hand to the sedan curtain, wanting to separate Xiao Zheng's gaze.

"Still, you are still," Xiao Zheng suddenly murmured.

Cui still immediately frowned and looked at Xiao Zheng questioningly, "How do you know my name?" Who are you? ”

"I'm Xiao Zheng~" Xiao Zheng finally ended his 'obscene' expression and looked at Cui Yi with a smile.

"Xiao Zheng? Xiao Zheng? Cui was still talking to himself about who Xiao Zheng was, and with a "ah" sound, his face suddenly turned red, and his hand pulled down the sedan curtain in a panic, covering her shyness. Only the swaying sedan curtain remained, as if to show her messed up heart at the moment.

Xiao Zheng watched her tear down the sedan curtain in a panic, and knew that she already understood who she was.

turned around with a smile, looked at Xiao Chunzi and Guan Shirong's expressions, and was busy adjusting his face, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He pointed at the still angry maid and got out of the way of the sedan chair.

The maid regained her freedom and immediately opened her mouth to scold him, but fortunately, at this time, Cui was still shy's voice in the sedan chair, "Xiaoling, let's go~"

The maid immediately glared at Xiao Zheng and pointed at the three of them, "You wait with me, the Qingguo Mansion will not spare you, hum~"

The sedan chair driver also hurriedly lifted the sedan chair and left here.

When the sedan chair passed by Xiao Zheng's side, he suddenly remembered something, and transported the internal force and quietly sent it into the sedan chair, "When Shen tomorrow, Dongcheng is like Yuxuan, I have something for you~"

There was no response in the sedan chair, but Xiao Zheng knew that she must have heard it, and he was still very confident in his martial arts.
