Zhang Xuezhou entered the new house and stared at Zhang Xuezhou's neighbors.

But no one dared to come to the door to congratulate them.

It was probably Zhang Xuezhou who lived for ten days and a half months, or longer, before everyone dared to come and walk around.

This is exactly in line with Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts.

He and Rong Tianding went out at night to visit their left neighbor Di Rang, and then went to the house of Zheng Wukong, their right neighbor.

Di Rang ran an inn business, perhaps realizing that he had achieved the limit of a businessman, Di Rang did not let his children inherit the inn business, but made a name for himself.

His son Di Shan studied under Confucianism and was officially on the list of the first batch of recruits of the new emperor.

Although he is still a small official, the future is promising.

Zheng Wukong is proficient in medical skills, opened a pharmacy in Chang'an City, and his connections and financial resources are also quite open, Zhang Xuezhou pondered that the other party's medical skills should be better than Wang Er Mazi in Shu County, so as to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

However, although Zheng Wukong was nearly fifty years old, he did not marry a wife and have children, but only brought a few apprentices.

The apprentices followed the master during the day, and at night they had their own places, which caused the Zheng family to be relatively deserted most of the time.

After finding out the bottom of the two families, Zhang Xuezhou is also very happy to associate with such neighbors.

He warmly invited the two families to come to Zhang's house as guests, and when Di Rang and Zheng Wukong resigned, they returned to their home with great satisfaction.

Dinner was a bunch of sunflower vegetables bought from the West Market, Lu Bai ate ninety percent for nothing, and Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding relied on the remaining one percent of sunflower vegetables to fill their stomachs.

The two didn't say anything all night, and they went out together early the next morning.

Rong Tianding went to the West Market to operate, and Zhang Xuezhou went to Yangling to take up a post.

Out of Chang'an City to the east, you can take a carriage for half an hour to reach Zhang Xuezhou's place of work.

The cost of the carriage is one and a half taels, and if you think it costs money to ride the carriage, you can run over it by yourself, or you can use your own ride.

Zhang Xuezhou has many ways to travel, but black and white horses are easy to leak wealth and suffer disasters, while the cloud technique is not suitable for casting spells in broad daylight, and the cloud technique is a bit swaggering.

Zhang Xuezhou finally sat in the carriage honestly.

The cemetery was not a good place, the coachman hurried to pull him under a city wall, and then he was already in a hurry to run in the direction of Chang'an City, and he didn't even pull the returning guests.

"It's okay when you came, how do you go back!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered.

He walked a few steps, only to hear someone shouting from the tower.

"Someone stopped, what are you doing?"

"The new bus Sima Ling Dongfang Shuo, who is stationed at Dongsima Gate on the order of the imperial court, who are you?"

Zhang Xuezhou held the token of Sima Ling of the bus, which made a rush of footsteps from the city tower.

After a few minutes, the gate of the city wall was opened with a slit that could accommodate one person.

"My lord, we are all your subordinates!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the city gate, and then looked inside, only to see five soldiers wearing cloth armor muttering for a while.

These people were tall, short, fat and thin, and many of them had broken arms and lame legs.

Compared with the guards of the city gate who served as the pacesetter of etiquette at the gate of Chang'an, the guards of the Sima Gate of Yangling were not of grade at all.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the soldiers, and felt a chill in his heart.

If something really happened, he probably wouldn't be able to count on these people to help.

"The other two bus Sima Ling?" Zhang Xuezhou asked as he entered the city gate.

"I haven't taken office yet!"

"Didn't take office?"

In Zhang Xuezhou's impression, he thought that the Sima men in Yangling East had two other burly bus Sima Ling, who must be good at swords and other martial arts, and even led a group of strong men under their command, and then acted to solve problems through fists.

Zhang Xuezhou does not compete with these people, he is mentally prepared to work the night shift.

But no matter how much Zhang Xuezhou thought about it, he didn't expect that he was the first bus Sima Ling of East Sima Gate.

"What about the former bus Sima Ling?" Zhang Xuezhou asked: "This is the place where the first emperor is bedding, after all, it won't be that no one has been stationed, right?" ”

"There are tomb robbers in the tomb of the first emperor, one of the first two adults was killed by the tomb robbers, and the other was derelict in his duties and his head was cut off, and no one has been here since," said a fat soldier.

"I'm so dangerous?"

Zhang Xuezhou took a breath of cold air.

He thought that guarding the tomb was an easy job, but he didn't expect it to be a fatal job.

This made him buy a house with the help of an official card on the front foot, and he thought about stepping down on the back foot.

But as long as he thinks about his ambitions, Zhang Xuezhou finally endured it.

He will not neglect his duties at all, he must work diligently, and he must work twenty-four hours a day for the eight-hour shift of others, until he is exhausted from his faithfulness.

Of course, he is on duty 24 hours a day, and even if he is actually on duty for 24 hours, it must be seen by his superiors or other officials, so that his conscientiousness can be discovered.

"I still have to catch a few tomb robbers who broke into the city gate to make meritorious contributions!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered that the probability of success of the bitter meat plan was not high.

If he was in Sima Gate in the Imperial City, he would definitely be seen by ministers because he was tired from duty, and even the new emperor might see it.

But in a cold place like the cemetery, there are not many people to wander around.

He calculated that he still had to do something, and if there were tomb robbers, he would catch the tomb robbers, but if he made more meritorious contributions, he would be able to transfer out of this pit.

"My lord, not only you are in danger, but we are also in danger, the boss has been cut off, and the subordinates are not happy," said the fat soldier.

"My leg was discounted when the tomb robbers broke into the East Sima Gate!"

"My hand was cut off by someone while patrolling the castle tower at night!"

"I was poisoned and made like this, those tomb robbers have everything, and they can't prevent it!"

"I'm weak after being beaten!"

……

For a while, all the soldiers were talking.

When everyone first came to Yangling Sima Gate, they thought that they would be able to retire from now on, but they didn't expect the risk of being stationed in Sima Gate to be so high.

The people of Sima Gate were killed and wounded, and they didn't even have a head, and in the end they had to close the city gate.

"This tomb robber shouldn't have come to our east gate, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"The situation of other Sima Gates is similar to ours," the fat soldier said: "Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, we are not doing well, and there is no difference between those city gate brothers!" ”

"I never thought that being a city gate official was so hard," Zhang Xuezhou said: "Let's do it like this, and there is no reaction from above?" This is not normal! ”

"The reaction is still there, every time something happens, a few senior officials check the situation" said the fat soldier: "They said that they would send competent officials over, and we need to wait patiently!" ”

"Competent officer? Just a competent officer like us? ”

Zhang Xuezhou realized that he was similar to the officials of Honglu Temple.

The new batch of novice officials were also 'capable officials', and they were eventually sent out to the murderous country.

And a novice like Zhang Xuezhou was also sent to Yangling to act as a 'capable official'.
