Chapter 156
Although he resigned from his position as a jailer, Xu Zhou was reluctant to hand over the key to the noon yard next door, where too many memories were stored that were difficult to let go.
About that bad old man, and the senior sister who has always been taken care of.
Unknowingly, Xu Zhou is forced to be involved in an unknown torrent.
At the beginning, he thought that he would always be a simple little jailer, guarding the one-third of an acre of land at home, and living a peaceful life in this other world. didn't think about it, as if there was a black hand behind his back, pushing Xu Zhou forward and stepping into the abyss step by step.
As soon as he was released from prison, a man appeared on the side of the street, a horse monkey dressed in disguise. He is going to accompany Xu Zhou today to report to the Imperial City Division's miscellaneous office.
By the way, on the way, I explained to Xu Zhou some precautions for doing things in the Imperial City Division.
"Let's go."
"Hmm." Xu Zhou nodded, and rushed towards the Imperial City Division of the Inner City with the horse monkey.
It will take a long time to get to the Imperial City Division.
Both of them are poor, and they can't make up two children in their pockets, so naturally they can't afford to rent a carriage or a sedan chair, so they can only run over on two legs.
Xu Zhou learned about the life of the horse monkey before and after, and finally just sighed in his heart: This baby is so pitiful!
Horse monkey since childhood, born in a poor ravine in the northwest, eat the last meal did not have the next meal, the father because of perennial fatigue, died early, leaving only the widowed mother, mother and son depended on each other, life was very hard, but fortunately, the villagers in the ravine were simple and kind, often helped, mother and son did not starve to death early.
After about four or five years of such a poor life, one day, the local government forcibly expropriated land, and the widowed mother was innocently implicated and beaten to death by the most vicious officers and soldiers.
In a fit of rage, the horse monkey stabbed an officer and soldier to death with a knife, and then fled from the mountain village in a hurry and lived a fugitive life in the world.
Since then, a seed of revenge has been planted in his heart.
After escaping from the mountain village, Ma Monkey worked as a beggar, a short-term worker for a large family, and also worked as a second-hand dealer, living in hiding and hiding for a day...... Later, by chance, he was "bewitched" by the Demon Sect and chose to join, until today.
The two walked all the way, the horse monkey hummed a little song in his mouth all the way, and he seemed to be in a really good mood, Xu Zhou asked him what great joy he had encountered, why was he so happy?
The horse monkey didn't speak, but his cheeks were red to the back of his ears, and there was a saying: "Spring has arrived, everything has recovered, and it is the season for animals to breed." ”
Although spring has long passed now, and there are not many days left in summer, this does not affect the restlessness of the horse monkey, the last time he went to Fan's medical workshop, Xu Zhou intentionally or unintentionally saw the horse monkey and one of the female leaders eyebrows.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
"Don't talk about me, let's get down to business, get down to business......"
The horse monkey patted his face vigorously to sober himself up, and he couldn't fall into the whirlpool of children's affection.
He said, "This time, you are going to answer the miscellaneous servants of the Imperial City Si Qinglong Hall. ”
"Qinglong Hall?"
Xu Zhou frowned, he still wanted to go to Xuanwu Hall or Vermilion Bird Hall, and if he went to Xuanwu Hall, he would have his eldest brother Zhu Lie take care of him, and he would be embarrassed in the future...... Phew, the communication will be smoother in the future, and you can also go to Suzaku Hall, which is the territory of Senior Sister Jiang Hongdou, and it is easy to do things if you want to.
This Qinglong Hall?
I heard that it seems to be the most powerful of the four halls of the Imperial City Division, but the others don't know much.
The horse monkey explained: "Listen to me tell you slowly, don't be in a hurry...... The Imperial City Division is directly under the Imperial Palace, and the interior is divided into four halls, this Qinglong Hall is very different from the other three halls, and its role is equivalent to the human brain, where the news gathers, it is hidden here, and it is easier to investigate the news. ”
Xu Zhou nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Also, there was such a trouble in the capital of my Holy Sect before, and the Imperial City Division suffered heavy losses, and I heard that the Qinglong Envoy was seriously injured, and he will soon go to see the King of Hades...... Infiltrating the Qinglong Hall during the chaos will have a higher success rate. ”
Xu Zhou still nodded, unable to speak.
He didn't know much about these, so it seemed that he had to ask Zhu Lie about the situation in Qinglong Hall if he had the chance. In this way, the horse monkey explained a lot along the way, and explained everything he knew one by one, without reservation.
After entering the inner city, the horse monkey talked a lot less.
First, because of the inner city, there may be spies from the Imperial City Division, and it is always not wrong to be careful, and the disaster will come from the mouth.
The second is that there is nothing to explain, this time I went undercover in the Imperial City Division, which is the first time in the world, and the horse monkey does not have much experience, everything has to be figured out by Xu Zhou himself.
When there were still three streets away from the Imperial City Division, Ma Monkey said goodbye to Xu Zhou and told him to go alone.
"Brother, the rest of the way is up to you, take care." The horse monkey looks like sending a strong man on the road.
Xu Zhou couldn't cry or laugh, hugged his fists and said, "Okay, then I'll go." ”
With the way that Wei Gong got out of nowhere, Xu Zhou successfully came to the Imperial City Division's miscellaneous servant recruitment office.
Identification, body search, change of clothes...... A series of processes has gone down, and it has been half an hour later.
Xu Zhou held the new clothes in both hands, mixed in a group of new miscellaneous servants, it can be said that it was inconspicuous, followed the leader to the class room, and listened to many rules there, saying that the new miscellaneous servants need to receive unified training here, and the time is not uniform for five to ten days, and they can only stay and be used after passing the training.
……
Night.
The wind is high and the sky is high, and the lonely bird is singing.
In Xu's house, a two-story building.
The girl in a light dress pushed open the window and ushered in countless moons.
She brought a chair and put it down on the terrace, sat down with her head resting on her arms, her legs cocked, and rested on the railing of the terrace.
The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, and she looked at the moon hanging high in the sky with a smile.
From the beginning of the joy, the eyebrows and eyes are crooked, to the last mouth is up, and the stomach is resentful.
She is Xishui Lane, the second miss of Xu Fu, and she is the most favored person in this family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with a golden key.
When she was born, the Xu Mansion had already saved a huge family business, and the name of Lord Xu's benevolence had spread all over the capital.
In the first ten years, she was lawless and did whatever she wanted.
There is a loving father on it, and an eldest sister who takes care of the mess for her in the back, she doesn't have to worry about anything, how happy she comes.
But in recent years, she has become more and more unhappy.
When a girl is older, she should get married.
But as the second lady of Xufu, she is not marrying, but recruiting people from the family.
But she didn't want to be like her eldest sister, and after she got married, she was locked up in business, and she didn't even have time to do what she liked.
She knows that her eldest sister has liked poetry and books since she was a child, likes to go out of the city, and prefers the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, all about nature.
But these are gone, the eldest sister has not been there once after marriage.
Confined to business all day long, with a thick account book as a companion.
Every time she saw what happened to her eldest sister, she felt distressed, hesitant, helpless and afraid.
She was afraid that she would be like that when she got married.
What she likes is nothing more than walking the rivers and lakes with a sword, but drinking wine and eating meat in large chunks!
