There were only three days left before the Chinese New Year, and in a jubilant atmosphere, Jiajing's monastic career had to be temporarily suspended and returned to live in the palace.

Although I don't dare to fly recklessly for the time being, it's okay to guarantee to appease one every night.

When listening to the two sons bring back Xiao Fengxin's poems, Jiajing was also quite emotional, and talked about Huang Jin.

"Look, Xiao Feng really can't forget to return to the fairy world, although this time is good, it is not his hometown after all, of course, he has to return to the fairy world.

I have devoted myself to cultivating, and I will definitely return to the heavenly realm in the future, but it is just the love of the world, but it is not that I can let go of it.

For example, the people in the harem, in my opinion, do not have the blessing of becoming immortals, and I don't know if I can save them after becoming immortals.

So I can only do my best at this time, well, let's arrange two tonight!"

The coastal areas are calm and calm, and they have not dared to do anything for a long time. Xiao Feng played a request to let Yu Dayou go to Beijing to report on his work.

He is the governor of Jiangnan, and it is his duty to worry about these things. Jiajing also agreed indifferently, just focused on his own pacification career, and didn't have time to summon Yu Dayou, probably after the New Year.

Now Yu Dayou has entered Beijing, although he unfortunately did not catch up with Zhang Wuxin's wedding, but he was lucky to catch Zhang Wuxin's honeymoon.

Although Zhang Wuxin has been officially certified by the senior andrology expert Cherry Girl in Chunyan Building, Mrs. An has a heart after all: this kind of thing is difficult to say, and you can't trust the Putian doctor too much.

Therefore, An Sizheng and Mrs. An transformed An Qingyue's boudoir in the backyard into a new house, and An Sizheng personally came forward to ask the two of them for three days off in Daolu Division and Shuntian Mansion, so that An Qingyue could inspect the goods with peace of mind.

So when Zhang Wuxin proved himself and returned to Xiao Mansion from Anfu, his legs were already weak, and even Yu Dayou, who was thinking about him, couldn't raise his interest in learning.

Yu Dayou also brought his apprentice, the Lan family boy. This kid is two years older, much stronger, and with Yu Dayou's practice, his size has also risen, and he looks much taller than Liu Peng, who is of the same age.

This is what Xiao Fengxin advised, since the death of Daddy Lan, Lan Niang has aged a lot, in addition to working every day, she is in a daze, and sometimes she tears silently.

Now that I see my son, I finally have a smile, and I can't get enough of it, and I shoot my son to sleep every night.

There is another thing that also makes Lan Niang's mood better. Ever since Ruyan died at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, she has been thinking about the girls in Yan Shifan's Mansion who are as miserable as her daughter.

It was her sadness at the beginning, and the stimulated Xiao Feng forcibly tested her words, causing her to fall into Yan Shifan's trap, and since then, she has never dared to ask about it again.

But this time, the old man really did what he said and rescued all the women in Yan Shifan's mansion! My daughter and husband Izumishita will be very relieved to know about it.

While Xiaofu is lively, there is another place in the capital that is also lively, and that is the human market.

The human market is almost every city, just like the vegetable market, the mule and horse market, the size of the human market also basically represents the prosperity of a city.

As the most prosperous city, the city of people is naturally much larger than other cities. And the hottest and most lively time in the human market is when the year is down.

Because for the rich, the New Year is a very happy thing, but for the poor, the New Year is to pass the pass, and the word New Year's Pass comes from this.

The end of the year is the day of collecting rent, but also the day of repaying money, and for the poor, both words are fatal, enough to destroy a family.

If it's a single person, it's easy to do, just go out to avoid debts with a burden on your back. But to be honest, it's hard to borrow money from this kind of single.

Money lenders are not stupid, they will assess your family assets before lending you money to make sure you have enough money to pay off your debts in the future. Among them, the borrower's land and house are the main collateral.

If none of these are available, then at least having a wife or daughter is considered hard currency. Note that the son is not very popular.

It's not that the market of men in the market is bad, but that it is too difficult to collect debts. Ordinary people

, as long as there is a little way, I would rather run away with my son than let the money lender take away.

The son represents hope and continuity, and when there are many moneylenders who go to pull other people's sons, the other party's parents suddenly regret it, and even work hard, so the son is really not hard currency.

The wife and daughter are much better, and there are very few money-lenders who have desperate incidents with each other because they go to pull other people's wives and daughters.

Therefore, the order of collateral in the eyes of the money lender is: land, house, eldest daughter, second daughter, child and mother, and the order of Uncle Ge is about the same.

Therefore, every year under the end of the year, the human market will be particularly lively and prosperous, especially the Beijing human market, and the number of people who come to buy and sell is several times more than usual.

The people who sell people hope to sell the goods in their hands before Chinese New Year's Eve, because from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, the human market is not allowed to open, and if you miss Chinese New Year's Eve, you will need to spend half a month more on grain.

Because the imperial court also wants face, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, that is when the gods and goddesses are visiting relatives, at this time you must pay special attention to what you say, and you can't say gloomy words.

In case which fairy sister looks down, yo, there are so many people who buy and sell people, it means that the world is not having a good time. In other words, the emperor's job is not very good.

The emperors of all dynasties were unwilling to lose face in front of the gods, let alone Jiajing, who believed in Taoism?

Therefore, before the fifteenth year, not only was the market not opened, but large families were generally not allowed to punish slaves too heavily, and the government did not easily open a court to play boards, so what was there to wait for the autumn to settle accounts!

And large families are often willing to take advantage of this period to supplement the slaves at home, at this time there are many supplies, pick at will, and the price is easy to say, so it has caused a situation of two booms in supply and sales in the market before the year.

Before the end of the year, the security forces of all walks of life in the capital were naturally very busy, checking everywhere, preventing fire and theft, but the human market was a place that was easy to be ignored.

Therefore, almost no one has noticed that many of the goods waiting to be traded in the human market this year are inevitably stronger than in previous years, and the proportion of men is also higher.

Because, almost no one looks at these sources of goods waiting for transaction as people, so the key checks on the identity of the people are the teeth and the buyer, and these sources are checked very loosely.

Yan Fu also went to the human market to buy a few maids and male servants, although Jin Yiwei saw it, he also felt that it was normal.

After all, Xiao Feng not only let go of Yan Shifan's concubines, but many of the servants who were forced to enter the Yan Mansion were also let go by Xiao Feng who fished in troubled waters.

The huge Yan Mansion has a big funeral to handle, and it needs a lot of manpower. Yan Song is busy in the cabinet every day until dark and refuses to leave, so he can't rely on Yan Shifan to push the cart around, right?

What's more, although Yan Shifan was convicted, Yan Mansion is still Yan Mansion, and it is not a matter to buy a few people to supplement, as long as Yan Shifan does not make any trouble.

Several men and women were taken into Yan's mansion by the housekeeper in this way, and then directly into Yan Shifan's middle hall. Yan Shifan sat in the car and looked straight at them.

The leading manservant straightened up and bent his waist, picked up a handkerchief from the table of the Yan Shifan and wiped the plaster on his face, revealing a face as rich as jade and touching his soul.

"Brother Yan, after a few years, the demeanor is still the same, don't come without ......?"

Yan Shifan looked at his two legs and waved his hand impatiently, meaning that if you can't be polite, don't force politeness.

"Holy Messenger, I've already bet all the chips this time, I wonder what kind of people you've brought?"

Although Xiao Qin was calm, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he was about to implement the plan for many years, and he pointed to a few people behind him.

"These ten people are all the best and worst in the Holy Sect, and they are not weaker than the Rouge Sisters. There are still fifty people left in the human city, and they are all elites of the Holy Sect.

In addition, these few days are the time when opera troupes from all over the country are intensively entering Beijing, and in each troupe, there are at least five masters of the Holy Sect. There are more than 30 people in the total.

Brother Yan, not only did you bet all your chips, but I also had no reservations this time, otherwise how could I personally lead the team to the capital."

Yan Shifan sighed, "I have mobilized the dead soldiers who have been raised in various places, about fifty people.

Luo Wenlong wrote back to me, and he personally brought fifty masters of pirates and pirates to the vicinity of the capital. Look at the book

If it is usual, so many people will not be able to enter the capital, we only have these few days, taking advantage of the New Year's pass, there are many people, and the various provinces in the capital are in and out to transport goods, so that we can mix in.

But Jinyiwei and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are not eating dry food, and in two days at most, they can detect that something is wrong. So, from entering the city to getting started, it's a day at most!"

Xiao Qin frowned: "What about the East Factory? What's going on over there with Zhang Yuan?"

Yan Shifan said coldly: "Dongchang can only deceive, not expose. Although Zhang Yuan is greedy for money and power, it is Dongchang after all.

Long live's trust in Dongchang is no less than that of Jinyiwei, and this trust does not come out of thin air.

I can only lie to Zhang Yuan that I want to kill Xiao Feng, so that even if he notices a little abnormality, he will only help me and will not do anything wrong.

But at the last moment, he will surely find out that something is wrong, and then if he takes refuge in us, he will kill him!"

Xiao Qin nodded, agreeing with the idea. Then, he asked what he was most worried about.

"Would Xiao Feng have guessed that you had suffered such a fiasco and would have taken action?"

Yan Shifan's one-eyed flickered: "Maybe, he is Xiao Feng after all. However, he is not an immortal, and even if he can count my movements, he may not be able to count me as rebelling.

Even if he can count me as rebelling, he can't tell when I'll do it, let alone how I'll do it, so what's the use of him knowing?"

has been standing by Yan Shifan's side, and gradually flirting with Xiao Qin's eyebrows, he couldn't help frowning at this time, and interjected (there is no car here).

"In case Xiao Feng can calculate that you will rebel, even if he doesn't know when and how you will do it, can't he go and report it to the emperor?"

Yan Shifan snorted and did not answer. He is not blind, of course, when he sees the eyes of Xiao Qin gradually, he is more than when he looks at himself, and he can't wait to pounce on Xiao Qin with a strong posture.

Xiao Qin smiled and replied for Yan Shifan: "The emperor has just severely punished the Yan family, and whoever sues the Yan family at this time must have real evidence, even so, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be suspected of misconduct.

What's more, it is to sue the Yan family for rebellion, which is the biggest crime in the world! If there is no evidence, the emperor will immediately suspect that he was being used before, and not only will the Yan family turn over immediately, but Xiao Feng will also be unlucky."

Gradually, I saw Xiao Qin looking at herself, and she stiffened her chest vigorously: "Then Xiao Feng can also secretly tell Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu!"

Xiao Qin glanced at his chest intentionally or unintentionally: "Those people in Shuntian Mansion, it's okay to catch petty thefts, it's not their turn to take care of the rebellion.

Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, what a big deal is a rebellion, if Xiao Feng really told Lu Bing, Lu Bing would never dare to hide it from Jiajing, this is no different from directly suing the emperor.

What's more, if there is no real evidence, Lu Bing will not help Xiao Feng to this point, I guess, Brother Yan also has Lu Bing's handle in his hand."

Yan Shifan sneered, "This is nature. If Lu Bing has evidence of my rebellion, he will be the first to arrest me, because since I am a thief, I have no chance to deal with him at all.

But as long as he has no evidence and misses a blow, then I can drag him to die with him. Xiao Feng was also aware of this, and he didn't dare to say anything to Lu Bing."

Yan Shifan's backyard was empty, and his wife also went to Yan Song's yard to keep filial piety for Yan Shifan's mother-in-law, and these people all lived in the backyard.

When only Xiao Qin and Yan Shifan were left in the room, the two looked at each other for a moment and spoke almost at the same time.

"What's your way back?"

Xiao Qin smiled dumbly: "It seems that you and I are really confidants, let's say, I don't believe that you will leave no way back, even if it comes to this point."

Yan Shifan patted his broken leg: "I just want to run, and I'm much slower than you, shouldn't you say it first?"

Xiao Qin shook her head: "Although I have legs, I want to charge. Although you have no legs, you are left behind, who runs fast, too

It's hard to say."

Yan Shifan nodded, admitting that what Xiao Qin said made sense: "Okay, let me tell you, I have land and property in Japan, if I lose this time, I will go to Japan, recruit troops, and make a comeback!" What about you?"

Xiao Qin smiled faintly: "Miao Jiang is already under my control, if I lose this time, I will no longer hope for a surprise attack, but raise the banner and revolt in a dignified manner. Then you and I can join hands again."

Yan Shifan shook his head: "With a corner of Miao Jiang, rebellion is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, do you still have any plans that you haven't told me?"

Xiao Qin also shook her head: "Japan is far away from the ocean, how many people can you bring over?" If you have money but no soldiers, you are fat sheep to be slaughtered.

You wouldn't be so naïve, but what plans didn't you tell me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, neither of them asked any more questions, and Xiao Qin went back to the room to rest. Yan Shifan also blew out the lights and sat in the dark. Half of Yan's Mansion was instantly shrouded in darkness.

I don't know how long later, there was a noise at the gate, Yan Song came back, and then there was a voice in the front hall, and Yan Shifan's wife walked back from the front yard.

The backyards of the two courtyards of the Yan Mansion originally had a moon gate that opened through, but as there were more and more women in Yan Shifan, Yan Song ordered someone to build the wall to death, out of sight and out of mind.

So at this time, the wife who was guarding filial piety for Yan Shifan could only walk back from the front yard. After all, the husband is back, and the daughter-in-law still has to avoid suspicion, and it's time for Yan Shifan to take over.

The wife walked into the middle hall and saw Yan Shifan sitting upright in the dark, startled, sighed, and prepared to go back to her room in the backyard.

"You go to my bedroom to sleep, I bought a few new servants, and arranged them in the backyard for the time being, don't rush you."

The wife shook her head and still walked towards the backyard, Yan Shifan snorted coldly: "Stop! Didn't you hear me speak?"

The main wife stood still, looked at Yan Shifan's face in the dark, and suddenly spoke coldly.

"I'm not afraid of other people's collisions, I just don't want to sleep in your room, I feel disgusting."

Yan Shifan was stunned, his wife was a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and she was knowledgeable, and when the two got married, Yan Song was still an official in Nanjing, far less prominent than later.

Therefore, although Yan Shifan is ridiculous, he still respects this wife. Of course, his wife is also nearly forty years old, and she has long been unable to arouse his interest.

The two of them are respectful and stay away, and no one cares about anyone, but today's attitude of the wife is very different, and her tone is full of contempt and disgust.

Yan Shifan held back his anger and said lightly, "It seems that the wall is really falling down and everyone is pushing it, did you also think about taking the opportunity to leave when Xiao Feng came to rescue my concubine?"

It's a pity, you are a wife, and you are not exonerated! But if you want to leave at that time, I won't stop you, don't you regret it?"

The wife sneered: "Since I married into the Yan family, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, my in-laws treat me well, I was born into the Yan family, and I died as a ghost of the Yan family, what is the pity."

Yan Shifan was silent for a moment: "You have this in mind, but why do you say such things?"

The wife said coldly, "Because I heard everything you said to the demon girl in the backyard before you were taken away by the Jinyi Guard that day."

Yan Shifan almost stood up all of a sudden, and then fell heavily on the car, his voice trembling a little.

"You...... What have you heard?"

The wife's voice was filled with endless despair and sadness: "When the father-in-law received the decree of the court, you went to the backyard to conspire with the demon girl.

I heard that the Criminal Department and the Imperial Prison were robbed last night, this matter is extremely strange, and the life and death of the saint are unpredictable this time.

You let the enchantress sneak into the trees outside the West Garden, and use the binoculars to watch the house. If you see your father-in-law kneeling with you, come back and tell your mother-in-law immediately.

Tell your mother-in-law, "The only thing is ...... Only one death can save the Yan family! Yan Shifan, are you still human? Are you still an individual? Huh?"

Yan Shifan sighed, "Did you tell my father about this?"

The wife choked up and said, "My father-in-law is sad like that, how can I say this again? Isn't that killing him?"

The wife walked into the backyard, and Yan Shifan was stunned for a long time before rushing to the courtyard

Waving his hand in the darkness of the depths, he pushed the cart to Yan Song's courtyard.
