There is a house on Anning Street, which is very quiet, and the July wind blows, and the leaves on both sides of the road are rattling.

At this time, Qi Zixiao walked slowly, looking at the mansion in front of him, which occupied a large area, and at the door, two slender maids looked at him with a smile.

"Xiliu, Hanmei, I have seen the son, from now on, it will be our sisters who will serve the son, and the son has any orders, just say."

The two women saluted and spoke softly.

The woman named Xiliu is dressed in a cyan dress, with a melon seed face, and a shallow smile at the corner of her mouth, giving people a feeling of weak willow supporting the wind, and another woman named Hanmei is wearing a white dress, her face is cold, and she seems to be a heroine.

Qi Zixiao nodded, just at a glance, he sensed the power contained under the seemingly thin bodies of the two of them, they were both second-grade peak level martial artists, stronger than Zheng Hu's old headhunters.

The night watchman arranged for such two women with good looks and strength to come over, and it was indeed a cost.

Qi Zixiao entered the house, this yard was very large, three in and three out, there was also a pond, a rockery, and the whole yard seemed to have just been repaired.

Don't say that he is alone, but there is no problem with living for more than a dozen people.

"Childe, this is your room, Hanmei and I live in those two rooms, Childe can just open his mouth if he needs anything."

Hosoliu and Hanmei followed and spoke softly, they were all specially trained by the night watchman, and they were responsible for all kinds of things of the night watchman, so they could be said to be nannies or liaisons.

If there is something on the night watchman's side, they will contact Qi Zixiao through them as soon as possible.

And vice versa.

Qi Zixiao entered the room and saw his residence, all of which were cleaned up, and there was a table of eight immortals in the center of the room, on which there was a beautiful porcelain cup.

On the side, there are several shelves with some books on them.

There are a total of six rooms in the whole house, Qi Zixiao lives in one by himself, and Xiliu and Hanmei live in one each.

After a circle, Qi Zixiao came to the pavilion in the courtyard, and the fine willow immediately brought a pot of tea, a few plates of snacks, and a fruit plate.

"Childe can taste it, this is a pastry made by Sister Hanmei and me, although it is not as good as the chef who eats as an immortal, but it tastes pretty good."

Qi Zixiao looked at the pastries on the table, picked up a piece and tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Not bad." ”

This is not hypocrisy, he has eaten a lot of good things in Qingxian, but the pastries made by the two of them are indeed much better than the ones he has eaten before.

"You just said that food is a fairy? Is that a restaurant? ”

Qi Zixiao asked casually while eating pastries.

"It is the top restaurant in Sanyang County, and only some wealthy families can afford it, and it is said that a meal costs thirty taels of silver."

The willow spoke softly.

Thirty taels of silver, the corner of Qi Zixiao's mouth twitched, this is comparable to the living expenses of ordinary people for a year or two.

Could it be that you eat dragon meat, and dare to sell it at such an expensive price!

As if seeing the doubts in Qi Zixiao's eyes, Han Mei continued, "I heard that this chef who eats immortals is from Shangjing Da Nei, and he has been an imperial chef in the palace, whether it is the ingredients or the taste, he is the best in the world, and naturally many dignitaries and nobles are eager to do it." ”

"Moreover, there is a rule for food for immortals, that is, only ten tables are received a day, and if there are more than ten tables, even the county keeper's face will not be sold."

"Interesting, it seems that the owner of this restaurant has a good background, and he can set up this kind of rule in Sanyang County, where many wealthy families gather."

Qi Zixiao said with a smile, picked up the teacup, and drank it all.

Hearing this, Xiao Liu said softly, "According to the information of the night watchman, the boss of Shi Weixian is named Shen Wanqian, this is a businessman who has business all over Qingzhou, and has great prestige in the entire Qingzhou, and it is said that he has a lot of connections in the state capital. ”

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment and said again, "According to some gossip, this Boss Shen seems to have a little relationship with a prince in Shangjing......

"Of course, I've just heard that Childe can be regarded as if he hasn't heard of ......"

Hosoyanagi added.

Qi Zixiao's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, since the night watchman will arrange you for me, then everyone is your own person, and there is nothing that can't be said here." ”

He knew what the other party was worried about, once this kind of secret was leaked, he might be fine, but they would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Royal secrets, who dares to talk about it casually in the world, it is a great crime of disrespect.

When Xiliu and Hanmei heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief, they glanced at each other and nodded tacitly, in fact, this was also a test for them to align Zixiao.

Although they had read the information about Qi Zixiao many times before they came, they were still a little worried, for fear that this person's temperament would be too obedient, so they used this secret story to test Qi Zixiao.

If Qi Zixiao scolded them, they would know how to deal with this new night watchman in the future.

Now it seems that this person is very easy to speak, and they will be much easier to do things under such people in the future.

Qi Zixiao looked at their movements, and understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

I just became a night watchman, and I need to have a good run-in with the people here.

"I may be going to the county government office in a few days to take office, why don't you tell me about the situation in Sanyang County, including the wealthy families, the rivers and lakes are ......."

Qi Zixiao looked at the two of them and asked calmly.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and a small Qingxian is full of factions, not to mention a county town that is countless times stronger than it.

Even if he doesn't want to get involved, he has to participate, which is why people can't help themselves.

Hearing this, Hosoyanagi thought for a moment and slowly spoke, "Well, the situation in the county is complicated and there are many factions, so let's start with the county government......"

"In Sanyang County, civil officials should respect the county guard, the county keeper is named Yan Shoujing, who is a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Yonghe, starting from a nine-grade county order, until today's county guard......"

As Xiaoliu spoke, Qi Zixiao gradually understood the officialdom news of Sanyang County.

The county guard is in charge of the administration of a county, and the following are the county officials, the chief bookkeeper, the official and others, as for the military aspect, this is in charge of the county lieutenant, and the following are the heads of the capital, the inspectors, the magistrates and others, who are responsible for the inspection and punishment.

In addition to these people, the rest are the treasurer, the tax collector, the prison officer, and others.

There are many more officials in the county than in the county seat.

In addition, there is also an army stationed in Sanyang County, an army of 3,000 people, this is a separate system, only listen to the transfer of Shangjing, and the leader is Captain Zhichong, Zheng Liupin.

In the county office, most of them are civil officials, and there are very few warriors, among them, the fast catch is to occupy ninety percent, in the county town, the ordinary fast catch is the second grade, the third grade is the ordinary head catcher, the fourth grade is the blue coat catcher, and the fifth grade is the purple coat.

Above the purple clothes, there is the county captain, the six-rank martial artist!

In Sanyang County, there are not many six-rank martial artists, and the captain of Zhichong is one.

Therefore, on the bright side, in the entire Sanyang County, the government is only two and six products!

Qi Zixiao sighed in his heart, a county town has two six-grade statues, from which it is estimated that in the entire Qingzhou, eighteen counties, there are nearly forty six-grade products!

Great Qi Kyushu, there are at least hundreds of six-grade powerhouses!

This is not counting the six grades of the Jianghu sect, thinking of this amount, Qi Zixiao's heart trembled.

The strongest person he has ever seen in his life should be Li Shenzhou's level, and that kind of power can stir up the storm.

"In Sanyang County, the county keeper acts fairly and has his own faction, and behind him is the academy of the entire county town, because our county keeper is from Baichuan Academy."

Hosoyanagi said softly.

"It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, our county guard walked out of Baichuan Academy back then, and stood out of the encirclement step by step, so that he has his current status, he is the representative of Baichuan Academy, and also the representative of all academies in the entire county town."

"In addition, the county captain Feng Qing is from the Feng family, the Feng family, is a big family in Qingzhou Mansion, it is said that he will not stay here for long, and then he will be transferred back to Qingzhou Mansion, and even in the future, he may be transferred to Shangjing......"

"In addition to them, most of the people below are from local wealthy families in Sanyang County, controlling all aspects of the county......"

It was an hour or two, and the sky was dark.

Both the willow and the cold plum are said to have a dry mouth.

In the end, Qi Zixiao waved his hand and asked them to cook.

While waiting, Qi Zixiao's ears moved, and he looked at the courtyard next to him, and he heard the sound of reading.

While eating, Qi Zixiao looked at the fine willows and Hanmei on the side and asked, "Who lives in the courtyard next to it?" ”

"It's a student of Baichuan Academy."

Xiao Liu spoke softly, since he had arranged this mansion for Qi Zixiao, he naturally had to figure out the people around him.

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao nodded, not caring.

For the next two days, he stayed here, listening to information about the officialdom of Sanyang County from Hosoyanagi.

Sanyang County Magistrate

Located in the center of the entire Sanyang County, it covers an area of dozens of acres, and there are two huge stone lions at the door.

People in tolerance uniforms go in and out, with a touch of arrogance on their faces, and being able to serve in the county office, even if it is a small officer, is enough to glorify the lintel.

Qi Zixiao walked slowly with a faint smile on his face.

At the door, the two portals looked at Qi Zixiao's dress, their eyes flashed, and one person stepped forward and asked politely, "This friend, I don't know what happened to the county office?" ”

Although they are a doorman here, they can be regarded as having seen many dignitaries and nobles, and their eyesight is also outstanding, judging from Qi Zixiao's dress, it is obvious that they have an extraordinary background, so they naturally dare not offend.

"Under Qi Zixiao, on the orders of the imperial court, I came to take up my post, and I bothered the two of you to report to the county guard."

Qi Zixiao smiled and spoke.

"See the county guard."

Their hearts were shocked, but they didn't dare to delay, one hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Please wait a minute, I'll go and tell you." ”

After speaking, one person entered the county office.

Qi Zixiao waited quietly outside, and another doorman looked at him politely.

At this time, in a room within the county office, the county guard was looking at the official documents, his brows were furrowed, one hand kept knocking on the table, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"These people are really getting more and more presumptuous......"

Suddenly, a voice appeared outside, "Lord County Guard, someone from outside has come to look for you, called Qi Zixiao, saying that he was ordered to come to his post." ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Yan Shoujing's eyes, "This little guy is finally here." ”

"Bring him to me."

He said calmly.

Outside the county office, Qi Zixiao didn't wait long, and the doorman who disappeared before reappeared, looking at Qi Zixiao with a respectful face, "Lord County Guard, please." ”

Qi Zixiao entered it with a smile, and at this time, he found that the county office was full of carved beams and paintings, and various buildings were dotted among them, and they were much larger than the night watchman branch.
