The imperial city is divided into several small cities by many tall courtyard walls with battlements, such as the west side next to the concubine's dormitory, there is the west city.

The meaning of the existence of the west city is to garrison soldiers. The soldiers could see the harem from the top of the city, but they couldn't get inside. Because there is no door, and there will be no ladder for them. If they want to enter the harem, they must not jump from the three-zhang high wall.

Three zhang high, ordinary people jump down, it is estimated that they will fall well. Even if they are high-ranking martial arts masters, they can't easily come in from here.

Preferred, the guards will kill them; If they break through the western city, they will have to face those eunuchs with excellent martial arts. These eunuchs are known as the masters of the Great Interior. And the leader of this group of Ouchi masters is the head of Ouchi, Hu Rong.

There is also Baocheng on the west side of the west city, and the west side of Baocheng is the tall city wall of Luoyang City. There are two gates dedicated to the harem, Jiayu Gate and Luo'an Gate. The significance of their existence is nothing more than to make it easier to dispatch troops and to facilitate the transportation of living materials.

The royal family eats, drinks, wears, and plays, all of which are special offerings. Special food, special wine, special cloth, special vegetables, special chariots and horses, special fruits, special dogs, special cats, special women, etc. In short, the food and clothing here are far better than those of the common people. Even the water used to clean the toilet bowl is better than that of ordinary people.

Hu Rong, the head of the inner house, stood in a closed watchtower at the head of the west city wall with his back hand, and behind him stood a eunuch with a sharp beak and triangular eyes, and this triangular eye eunuch was the person who ran out of the Anguo Mansion overnight, named Liu Chuanzhi.

"Very good, I've been optimistic about you since early times, and I'm right. Your Liu family is full of loyalty, and when you come here, you are still loyal to the royal family. It's not easy to lurk the gate valve for many years. You are an example of the dark pile, and I will definitely make you a high-ranking official. But for the time being, you have to be patient. ”

"Everything is arranged by Grandpa Hu."

Then Liu Chuanzhi was taken away by several Ouchi masters. Although he knew the great secret, Hu Rong would not kill him. Because there are still a few eunuchs lurking in the gate valve. If Liu Chuanzhi is killed, I am afraid that the other secret piles will no longer be loyal.

After Liu Chuanzhi was sent away, Hu Rong also had two imperial city masters by his side, namely Chen Qianyi and Bu Chenfeng. Although they all served under Hu Rong, Chen Qianyi was a master of the outer city, not a master of the inner city, because he was not as ruthless as Bu Chenfeng, and he went to the inner province to be stabbed.

Hu Rong turned around suddenly, and the Yin Owl's gaze swept towards Bu Chenfeng. Without saying a word, he slapped Bu Chenfeng in the face, beating Bu Chenfeng into a spirit, staring at Hu Rong blankly.

"Father-in-law Hu, why do you want to be humble? Is it something wrong with the lowly position? ”

Hu Rong continued to stare at Bu Chenfeng, approaching, almost nose to nose: "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to have personal relationships outside." Are you taking my words as a fart? ”

Who has ever been in the rivers and lakes without a few friends? To enter Ouchi to serve the royal family, you need to cut off the dust, but there are a few people who can really do it.

Obviously, Hu Rong was influenced by Su Bottle, thinking that Bu Chenfeng had secretly befriended Su Bottle. Of course, Bu Chenfeng was wronged, but unfortunately, Bu Chenfeng had seen his junior brother in private a while ago. Bu Chenfeng thought that Hu Rong knew about it. So he immediately fell to his knees.

Hu Rong saw that his attitude was not bad, so he spared him, clapped his hands, and walked away.

Hu Rong left, but as long as he hadn't walked down the city wall, Bu Chenfeng didn't dare to get up, and it wasn't until he couldn't see Hu Rong's figure that Bu Chenfeng stood up and glanced at Chen Qianyi with cold eyes.

Chen Qianyi stood aside with her shoulders crossed, holding the dogtail grass in her mouth, chewing a few times, and the dogtail grass jumped and jumped. At this time, Chen Qianyi also wondered how Hu Rong knew that Bu Chenfeng had a private relationship with outsiders. Usually, Hu Rong sent Chen Qianyi out to investigate, but this time he didn't.

But Bu Chenfeng still thought that it was Chen Qianyi who followed him and told him, so he sneered and said: "Is he a dog who cares for the house, and what kind of big-tailed wolf is there?" ”

Chen Qianyi spit out the dogtail grass: "You want to be a dog, that's your business." Lao Tzu is not accompanied. ”

"Are you going to leave?"

"I don't have to tell you."

……

Lin Tong reported early in the morning and invited Su Baoyu to eat at home.

was supposed to be a treat yesterday, but Eighth Miss Tang Yun said that during the period of recuperation, she was not allowed to drink. Later, I heard that the second master invited a banquet for meritorious warriors, so Lin Tong dismissed the idea of having a banquet that day, and changed it to today, at home, under the supervision of Miss Eight.

Zhang Hu also received an invitation to come to Lin's house for a banquet. Today Zhang Hu has a task to drink instead of Lin Tong. Although Zhang Hu's injuries were more serious than Lin Tong's, Zhang Hu readily agreed. Drinking is not a task for Zhang Hu at all, but a reward.

I don't know who spread the news of the Guogong Mansion last night, but it has already been rumored in Qinghuafang. Zhang Hu is a person who likes to inquire about things, and after drinking two glasses of wine, he opened his voice and asked Su Bottle about the specific situation last night.

Su Bei said that he slept very deeply last night and didn't know much about it, and only later followed the team around to have a look. Su Bottle just said the words that were rumored outside now. As for the note he sent, of course, he didn't mention a word.

"I'll just say that there are mysterious masters hidden in the Guogong Mansion. This was left by the old prince at that time. That master cooperated with the Shun Inner Court, one dark and one bright, to protect the national mansion. It was the master who scared the Assassin away, so the Assassin only killed one of the guards and did not hurt anyone else. Zhang Hu agreed with his words very much, and nodded solemnly.

Lin Tong said, "Since that master has discovered the assassin, why don't you take down the assassin?" ”

Zhang Hu said: "If you take down the assassin, won't it be clear?" ”

Lin Tong didn't agree with Zhang Hu's words, but he didn't refute it, just smiled bitterly, then raised his wine glass and toasted Su Bottle with a glass of wine. But he didn't drink it, because Miss Eight, who was sitting on the side, kept staring at him with a cold face and squinting eyes. He stole a glance at Miss Eight from time to time. Eyes collided, retracted gaze, and reluctantly put down the wine glass.

Although Miss Eight is a little harsh, Su Bottle thinks that Miss Eight is Lin Tong's blessing. Because of his beloved love, because he cares about Lin Tong's body, he is strictly controlled. The seventeen-year-old little lady is the age of competition, and Lin Tong also dotes on her. Watching their husband and wife fight each other, Su Bottle felt interesting.

After being full of wine and food, they removed the table, and the three of them sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting. Seeing that there was no more wine, Miss Eight left satisfied.

As soon as Miss Eight left, the men began to talk about the topics that belonged to men, and they talked about several famous prostitutes in Wuwei. talked from a famous prostitute to Su Dashao's two friends, Sima Jing and Xu Changqing.

Speaking of these two, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth.

In fact, Sima Jing is not a good person, he loves prostitution, on the streets and alleys, at home and abroad, and has collected countless men and women.

He has a monopoly on the crude drug trade, and all the crude medicine shops in Wuwei City belong to his family. Seven cents of silver are purchased, and three cents and two cents are sold. Just ask you to buy it or not? You change the price and ask for the price, or this price. Unless you go out of Wuwei and go to another city to buy. But ordinary people can run so far in mountains and deep waters for a few dollars of silver.

He also trafficked human beings. Buy it at a low price, provide only one meal a day, and then send it to the big city like a sheep to sell. Thinking that the road was far away, and there was not enough food, and countless people died on the way. This guy treats people as animals, as long as the other party gives him enough money, he even sells his daughter-in-law.

Of course, it was impossible for him to sell the lady of the main room, because the main wife was the niece of the servant. Through this relationship, he can reap a lot of benefits. For example, last year, he "donated" a seven-product thousand households, tried cases in the Wu Yamen, had some power, and claimed to be a parent official. But now he has no spell, because Wu Wei has fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Su Bei smiled bitterly: "I once told Sima Jing that human trafficking has lost his conscience and persuaded him to turn back." But guess what he said? ”

Lin Tong asked with interest, "What did he say?" ”

Su Bei stood up, imitated Sima Jing's demeanor and said, "Baoyu, you can't say that I have lost my conscience, you should say that I am a living bodhisattva who came into the world." Years of war have caused victims everywhere, and tens of thousands of children have been sold. I bought their children, and those children had a way to live, and the children's parents were relieved of their burden. But if I don't buy it, they'll starve to death. Over the years, I, Sima Yumian, have saved at least 500 people. Let me ask you, in the entire Wuwei City, is there anyone who is more virtuous than me? If you open a porridge shop and save them for a while, can you save them for a lifetime? Xu Changqing went outside to deliver free medical treatment and medicine to the victims, but he was busy but ruined his family's foundation, and in the end he still relied on me to help him live. If I don't help him, he'll starve to death. Then you say, do the people he saved count as I saved them? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hu said: "I think Sima Jing is right!" ”

Zhang Hu's voice was like a bell, and his eardrums hurt, especially for people like Su Bottle, who have good internal skills, and they are extremely sensitive to sound, and they can't help but frown and smile bitterly.

The little guy standing at the door was startled by Zhang Hu and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Zhu Tao had just come back from eating in the dining hall of the General's Mansion, and when she heard the loud noise in the main hall, she trotted over with concern and looked at the door.

Lin Tong was also shocked and plucked out his ears: "Zhang Hu, can you be quieter?" Can't you talk well, what do you always shout? ”

After speaking, Lin Tong suddenly sighed: "The soldiers are in chaos, and I don't know if Sima Jing and Xu Changqing are still alive......

Just when Su Bottle was eating, the Guogong Mansion sent a maid to beckon his uncle to return to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. The maid said that Miss Six wanted to tell her uncle about the "Tang Family Law".
