Zhao second-hand wore chains, held the iron window, looked at Xiao Feng excitedly, and wiped his tears with his shabby prison clothes.

It's been half a year, half a year, do you know how I've spent the past six months? Have you forgotten about me completely?

In good conscience, Zhao Er was not tortured in the edict, because his case had already been decided, so there was no need to interrogate him with torture at all.

And the conviction is not serious, since the case of the female corpse in the dry well was not solved at the beginning, that is, the court did not admit that there was a matter of framing each other between princes and princes, Zhao Er's crime naturally would not rely on this.

And Yan Dang did not completely give up on Zhao Er, Zhao Er did not dare to confess Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan, Yan Dang naturally made some efforts, show other dogs, don't chill the hearts of the brothers.

So in the end, Zhao Er's crime was to "steal" Yuwang Yupei, and at the same time, he was added to the trivial charges of being a brutal scoundrel, bullying the market, beating and hurting people, and at most exile.

Originally, Zhao Er was ready to travel out of the capital. Because he still has a little money, and Zhao Wenhua also asked the housekeeper to give him a message, no matter where he is exiled, Yan Dang will take care of him, no different from travel.

But this matter lacks virtue and lacks virtue At that time, Jiajing said a sentence: Zhao Er, the housekeeper of the palace, is handled by Xiao Feng.

At that time, Zhao Er felt that there was no problem, because the charges had already been decided, no matter how bold Xiao Feng was, he would not dare to overturn it openly, so let's add another note. And Lu Bing is a cautious person, without the instructions of Banzai, he will not be a black hand in the edict.

But Xiao Feng's lack of virtue is not something Zhao Er can imagine, Xiao Feng did not let people torture him, nor did he convict him otherwise, but simply forgot about him.

Xiao Feng can't change the matter of exile, but when you will be exiled, this is still within the scope of Xiao Feng's decision.

Don't think this is strange, in fact, not only in the imperial prison at that time, but also in the major prisons of the imperial court, there were such forgotten criminals.

They may feel a little suspicious after being convicted and will not enforce it for the time being; Or there are forces above that are playing with each other and are in a stalemate; Or simply that the crime is not big or small, and no one cares, and the prison is empty, and it is half a year and a year.

In this way, Zhao Er became a forgotten corner of the Imperial Prison, and he watched all kinds of people being brought in and carried out every day.

All kinds of strange torture tools, although he has only tried a few, but he has seen them all, accumulated a lot of materials, and has nightmares every day without repeating them.

He is looking forward to seeing the light of day every day, and even swears sincerely that if he can go out, he will change his mind and be a new man!

Today, looking at Xiao Feng's smiling face, he cried with joy: "Lord Xiao, am I finally going to be exiled?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded and sighed: "I really wanted to keep you for a few more days, but Yan Shoufu was very urgent, and I couldn't stand it." ”

Zhao Er scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was still full of emotion: "My lord, I don't know where the villain is going to be exiled?" ”

Xiao Feng pouted: "Your backstage is hard enough, exile to Datong to fill the army, and you will be a soldier under General Qiu Luan in the future." When you get there, ask for your own blessings. ”

Zhao Er breathed a sigh of relief, Datong may not have been a good place in the past, but he heard it in the edict that the imperial court and the Tatars had negotiated peace, and Datong would not fight, but would open a mutual market!

I can be confiscated to Datong, it seems that the Yan Party has not forgotten my contribution, my cousin who did not come out of the five suits must also have contributed! They will definitely take care of themselves in the future!

It's a pity that the exiled soldiers are not allowed to go home to see their families, so they have to leave immediately. So Zhao Er didn't have a chance to kneel and lick his cousin and the Yan family, anyway, the future will be long, and his good days are ahead!

After the Battle of Beijing, Qiu Luan was promoted to the governor of Xuanda because of his brave combat performance and polite and courteous peace talks, and was in charge of the military of Xuanda Defense Line.

Hu Zongxian was also promoted, promoted to the Huguang Inspector and Imperial History, and left without waiting for Xiao Feng to come back to life.

Qiu Luan himself sat in Xuanda and lost his good partner Hu Zongxian, and he was quite bottomless. However, Jiajing entrusted him with an important task and opened the first mutual market outside Datong City!

Qiu Luan was surprised and delighted, surprised that the Tatars were so barbaric, what if the business was not negotiated, what if they jumped on the horse and came in?

The good thing is that the two sides are in the mutual market, and the transaction volume is bound to be huge, and they are like mice guarding the barn, old cats guarding the fish tank, and vicious dogs guarding the ......

But after calming down, Qiu Luan still has a deep understanding of his abilities. He wrote a letter to Hu Zongxian, asking him if he could come back and work with him, and he would definitely fulfill his promise, half of it!

If Hu Zongxian is worried that he can't transfer it back, he can also play it directly, and now Banzai trusts me Qiu Luan very much, and this request should be satisfied.

Hu Zongxian wrote back to him, telling him that as soon as he arrived, he would catch up with Miaojiang in the jurisdiction to make trouble, and if he asked for a transfer at this time, Banzai would definitely suspect that he was fleeing from the battle, so he would have to talk about it after a while.

But Hu Zongxian did not ignore his old comrades-in-arms, although Qiu Luan was not a good person, but he repeatedly fooled him, and he did not turn his face, and he could be regarded as a mutual acquaintance.

Knowing that he can't control such a big thing as the mutual market, if he just leaves him alone, I'm afraid that it won't take a few days to cause trouble, and if it doesn't work, it will be over.

So Hu Zongxian gave Qiu Luan an an idea: Qi Jiguang is the chief soldier in Xuanfu, and he is your direct subordinate, this person is brave and strategic, and you should discuss with him more if you have something. And Xiao Feng is alive again, you can also ask him.

So Qiu Luan sent a report to the imperial court, and the report made two requirements.

First, the general army of Xuanfu and Datong was transferred, and Qi Jiguang was transferred to Datong as Hu Zongxian's successor and made a fortune with himself. Of course, getting rich together can't be written on paper, it's all about being single.

The second is that Xiao Feng is the proposer of the mutual market, and he is the host of the mutual market, and the two usually have a lot of details to discuss, so make a statement to Banzai in advance, and don't misunderstand the courtiers and border generals.

Jiajing was also very atmospheric, and told him cordially: Don't worry about these trivial things, let it go, it will be a great achievement to get the mutual market right, and if you don't get it right, I won't cure your crimes, so you can directly lead the troops to fight Altan Khan, strive to go deep into the grassland, plough the court and sweep the caves.

When Qiu Luan saw this reply, he was so frightened that his whole body softened, and he didn't get hard for a long time.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang arrived in Datong at this time, and he told Qiu Luan that he had brought a carrier pigeon to communicate with Xiao Feng. Qiu Luan immediately jumped up and said that he would make a long-distance call immediately.

Xiao Feng's carrier pigeon quickly replied: Governor Qiu saw the words as he said, I won't say more nonsense, this mutual market has a double danger.

First, the businessmen on both sides were shoddy, resulting in no credit, not only could not do business, but also formed grudges, and in the end, the mutual market was forced to close, and the war was rekindled.

The second is the deliberate destruction of the White Lotus Church, because the White Lotus Sect does not want the mutual market to proceed smoothly, so it must be strictly guarded and purged of the White Lotus believers!

Qiu Luan panicked when he heard this: "What should I do, what should I do?" Long live the will, attach great importance to this mutual market! If I mess up, I'll blame me for my incompetence! ”

Qi Jiguang smiled: "My lord, go on and look down." If you want to do a good job in the mutual market, it is nothing more than four words: Enwei and Shi!

In order for everyone to make money, it is necessary to put an end to profiteers and avoid things that exacerbate conflicts. This requires the establishment of a 'fair office' to resolve business disputes! ”

"Fair Office" is the name given by Xiao Feng according to the current language habits, because if it is called "Market Supervision and Administration Institute", it feels a little nondescript.

Qiu Luan nodded again and again, saying that this is easy to do, isn't it just to build a few houses and draw a few people, it's simple, I'll send my henchmen to do it.

Qi Jiguang shook his head: "This is not simple, my lord, the people of the fair place must be fair, if they are not fair, there will be no justice in this market."

Moreover, they have power in their hands, and power is prone to corruption. If your henchmen are really corrupt and the market is unfair, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Qiu Luan was silent, for him, corruption itself is a matter of course, not to mention killing heads, even playing the board He feels that it is too much.

Those who are killed because of corruption must be those who are not good at craftsmanship, they are not very greedy, and they are caught, this kind of stupid person deserves to die.

But Qi Jiguang is right, corruption in the justice office is not only corruption, the resulting unfairness will intensify the contradictions between the two sides of the market, which cannot just be based on corruption!

Therefore, Qiu Luan decided to send his henchman, the most trusted person, to go out - Boss Hu! He firmly believes that Boss Hu will not live up to him!

But Qi Jiguang stopped him: "My lord, don't worry, Brother Xiao said in the letter that he sent you a high-level talent, who is most suitable to be the manager of the justice office." The letter also specifically emphasized that you should treat this person as if he were his own son! ”

Qiu Luan breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Xiao knows how to make good use of people, it must be excellent when you think about it, not to mention being a son, but being a grandson ......"

Before the words fell, someone outside reported: "Report, on the order of Lord Xiao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zhao Er, a prisoner of the army, has arrived at the barracks, please ask the governor to deal with it!" ”

Qiu Luan's eyes widened suddenly: "No...... No way? This Zhao Er, is this the talent that Master Xiao sent to me? ”

Although Qiu Luan has not spent much time in the capital, he has a residence and a housekeeper in the capital, and naturally he has heard of Zhao Er's reputation.

Qi Jiguang was confident: "My lord, people will change, I think Brother Xiao thinks that after half a year of pain, this Zhao Er has been reborn." ”

Qiu Luan was still hesitating, and at this time, the steward who escorted the prisoner quietly approached Qiu Luan and whispered, "Please condescend to the Governor and take a step to speak." ”

Qiu Luan followed, and the steward took out two ingots of gold, and presented them with both hands: "Lord Governor, the villain is just entrusted by others, the adults in Beijing, I hope that the adults can treat Zhao Er well, and there will be rewards in the future." ”

Qiu Luan frowned, took the gold and picked it up: "This Zhao Er is just a splash of skin, why are the adults in Beijing so bothered?" ”

He naturally knew that Lord Jingzhong was referring to Yan Dang, but at this time, his identity was different, and Jiajing favored him very much, so he was not so afraid of Yan Dang, and he naturally had the confidence to speak.

The steward smiled and said: "The villain is just passing the word, but the villain is only seen, it should be a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, so that people can see that Zhao Er is doing well, and then they can rest assured." ”

Qiu Luan nodded, he was very smart in this regard, and naturally understood the meaning of this move. He thought about it and decided to push the boat down the river, which not only gave Yan Dang face, but also listened to Xiao Feng's suggestion and curry favor with both sides.

Anyway, the bad idea was made by Xiao Feng, if something goes wrong in the future, he will definitely be able to help himself speak, with Jiajing's favor and trust in himself and Xiao Feng now, he can bear the big thing.

"In this way, you go back and tell the adults in Beijing that I will not only treat Zhao Er well, but also reuse Zhao Er!"

Some people died, but not completely......
