Since then, the three of them have been staying overnight, hurrying in the dust, eating and beating every day, all of them are cautious, so as not to cause branches, fortunately, there is nothing to do all the way, and this day finally arrived in the territory of Lin'an Mansion. On the way, Bai Yixue told Yang Cao about his encounters in the Silent Light Temple one by one. Yang Cao couldn't help but be amazed, and it was also difficult to understand the origin of Mo Lingsha.

After Qin unified the six countries, a county was set up at the foot of Lingyin Mountain, called Qiantang. In the Tang Dynasty, Hangzhou County and Yuhang County were placed, and the local economy developed rapidly, and there was a prosperous scene of "throat Wu Yue, strong rivers and seas, 20 miles of walls, and 30,000 rooms"; During the Zhao and Song dynasties, Hangzhou was the road of the two Zhejiang roads, the river was fertile and the merchants were radiant, the city was very prosperous, and Song Renzong inscribed the poem "The land has lakes and mountains, and the first continent in the southeast." In the third year of Song Jianyan (1129), Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong remembered the historical merits of Qian Hao, the king of Wuyue, and took his hometown "Lin'an" as the name of the mansion and promoted Hangzhou to "Lin'an Mansion". In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), Zhao Gou decided to make the capital here.

And since the Zhao Song Dynasty lost control of the Central Plains, Zhao Gou partial Anjiang table, the people of Li in the northern region followed its southern crossing, an endless stream, for a time Liangzhejiang West Road and Liangzhejiang East Road and other Jiangnan areas, the people living in overseas Chinese are all over the place, the population has surged, a hundred times that of usual, Lin'an Mansion is even more well-dressed, and the people are gathered.

When the three of them entered the city, Bai Yixue saw that the streets in the city were full of streets, and the mansions were full of flowers, and they were extremely prosperous, so he was dazzled and thought in his heart: "Under the emperor, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, his bearing is extraordinary." Fortunately, before Yang Cao was degraded, he had worked in Lin'an Mansion for many years, and he was very familiar with the roads in the city, leading Bai and Shen to cross the alley and go straight to the Heyao Bureau in Gantang Lane.

When they arrived at the public office and explained their intentions, Soap Li led the three of them along the Yongdao to the Yin Hotel, and the three of them drank tea and waited. After a cup of tea, I heard someone outside walking and talking, coming this way. Shen Lingshan saw the person from a distance, stood up, and shouted, "Uncle Shi!" The three of them walked out of the wing room, and saw two people coming from under the corridor, one of them was nearly fifty years old, with a yellow face, and even the whites of his eyes were slightly yellow, as if he was born with jaundice;

The yellow-faced old man was Shi Zhongmo, and when he heard Shen Lingshan calling him, he said happily: "Ling'er, when did you arrive?" ]

Shen Lingshan hurriedly ran to his side, saluted, and said, "My niece has just arrived." ”

Shi Zhongmo took her hands, looked at her for a long time, and sighed: "Ling'er, you are much thinner." ”

Yang Cao recognized that the brocade-clothed man was the commander of the envoy in front of the palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The villain Yang Cao has seen the palace marshal. Minghua was slightly surprised when he saw him here, but he didn't say anything, only exchanged a few polite greetings with him, nodded slightly to Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan, and then left.

At that moment, Shi Zhongmo had seen Bai Yixue and Yang Cao one by one. Although Yang Cao and Shi Zhongmo knew each other, they had never had a personal relationship before. After greeting for a while, Yang Cao said to Shi Zhongmo that he still had some redundancy, so he would visit the mansion another day and leave in a hurry.

Shi Zhongmo finished handling the official business at hand and took Shen and Bai back to his mansion. After the two settled down, Shi Zhongmo held a banquet in the inner hall that night to wash the dust for Shen Lingshan and Baiyi Xue.

After sitting down, Bai Yixue saw that there was a pair of empty dishes and chopsticks on the wine table, as if there were still guests, but until the banquet began, no guests arrived, Shi Zhongmo didn't say anything, so he couldn't help asking.

During the banquet, Shi Zhongmo raised a glass of wine and said to Bai Yixue: "The old man has no wife and no children, and the most beloved is Ling'er. Bai Shaoxia said a word, worked hard along the way, escorted Ling'er to come, took care of it, the old man was grateful to the young man in his heart, but also admired, this cup of wine, the old man did it first as a respect. Bai Yixue hurriedly picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and the two of them drank it all. Shen Lingshan picked up the wine cup and took a sip with him.

Bai Yixue said: "Mr. Shi, don't dare to take the word 'young man' seriously." I and Miss Shen are commensurate with brother and sister along the way, and I am also your junior. He felt a slight strange feeling in his heart: "How did Mr. Shi know that we had come all the way? Could it be that he had already talked to the sister of the Shen family?"

Shi Zhongmo turned his head to look at Shen Lingshan, then at Bai Yixue, smiled with a smile, and said, "Good, good, very good." His eyes were full of smiles, like the elders of the family, looking at a pair of beautiful people lovingly. Shen Ling's eyes were fluttering, his face was red, and he didn't know if he was shy in his heart or because he was too strong to drink.

Shi Zhongmo smiled and said: "I heard Ling'er say that Brother Bai Shishi is famous, and he is really a talent. The old man of Lingshi Hu Zhuang has been fascinated for a long time, but it is a pity that Lingshi has lived in the north for a long time, and Shi has lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has always been on the side, which is really a regret in his life. ”

Bai Yi Xue said in her heart: "Mr. Shi even knows my teacher, it seems that the sister of the Shen family has already talked to him." He hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Shi is polite." ”

Shi Zhongmo turned sideways slightly, and said to Shen Lingshan: "Ling'er, how are you feeling now?" Reach over and I'll check your pulse." Shen Lingshan stretched out his left hand and rested it on the table, Shi Zhongmo closed his eyes to cut her pulse, and after a while, he took his right hand again, only to see him contemplating and thinking hard, frowning and pouting, the expression on his face was very strange.

After a long stick of incense, Shi Zhongmo suddenly opened his eyes, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and said, "Ling'er, what medicine have you been taking recently?"

Shen Lingshan said: "My niece doesn't know what kind of medicine it is, it was taken by Big Brother Bai from Tang Zhuo of the Tang Sect. ”

Shi Zhongmo sighed: "That's it, if you don't have this medicine to protect your body, how can you survive today?" Buddha Touqing is listed among the three major poisons in the Tang Sect, and it is really dangerous and domineering, I remember that Senior Brother Shen once said that its sex is still stronger than 'Heding Red', there is no medicine in the medicine stone, and there is no one who can match the poison in the world. After that, there was a lot of sorrow on his face.

Bai Yixue was taken aback, and admired it in her heart: "After cutting his pulse, he was able to diagnose the top yin poison of the Tang Sect among the sisters of the Shen family, which is really amazing." There was a joy in his heart: "Mr. Shi's medical skills are so good, I am afraid that he is still above his junior brother, so it seems that the Shen family's sister's illness may have a turnaround." ”

Shi Zhongmo saw that Bai and Shen's faces were full of admiration, their eyes were full of eagerness, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "You say that I have such a skill to be able to diagnose this poison by the pulse? Compared with Senior Brother Shen, the old man's subtle skills are no less than the abyss, and they are far from the same. Senior Brother Shen practices medicine all over the world and is famous all over the world, and the old man can only devote himself to the public and eat with his mouth over the years. ”

Shen Lingshan said: "Uncle Shi is too humble, my father once told me that you are 'the only one in the royal city that is the most hidden, and ten thousand people are like the sea and hidden'." Shi Bo is a great wisdom, true and calm, unlike him who is confined to fame and fame all day long, and his heart is a form of service, and he cannot be free and easy for half a day. Bai Yixue listened to their solemn words, and her nose couldn't help but be slightly sour, and she was speechless.

Shi Zhongmo said in his heart: "Those who know me, Senior Brother Shen is also." Senior Brother Shen is talented, intelligent, and diligent and studious, he is the most outstanding disciple of his teacher, and he is also the most valued by his teacher, given time, he can be compared with Bian Que and Hua Tuo, but it is a pity that he left so early...... "A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears. Shen Lingshan didn't know why, and said that Shi Zhongmo remembered the friendship with Shen Chong in the past, and he didn't feel crying.

Shi Zhongmo raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and said: "What you know is God, what you know when you hear is sacred, what you ask and know is what you know, and what you know is skillful." Looking, smelling, asking, and cutting are combined to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in order to explore the original and seek the original. Ling'er, I happen to be on vacation, take a good look at it for you, grab a few pairs of medicines, and you can recuperate first. ”

Shen Ling made a salute and said, "There is a lot of trouble with the teacher." ”

Shi Zhongmo said: "Ling'er, your pulse is heavy, or even the pulse is low, and it is difficult to respond lightly, is it that you feel cold and cold in your daily life, and you are lying down and resting?"

Shen Lingshan said: "Yes." My niece had a few nights on the way, and when she slept until midnight, the poison in her body suddenly attacked, and her whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and she shivered, and her heartbeat became extremely slow, and then she felt almost nothing. In recent days, I feel that my body is heavy, my phlegm is thin, I am cold and warm, and I can't wait to hold a sleeve stove in my hand every day, and step on a pot of charcoal fire under my feet. ”

Bai Yixue was secretly frightened, turned her head to look at her, and felt guilty in her heart: "Miss Shen has had several toxic attacks, except for that night in the cabin, I was so careless along the way, I didn't even notice it. ”

When Shi Zhongmo heard this, he was also secretly shocked in his heart: "It's not good, it's not good." Those who are cold and curled up, and have warm hands and feet, may be cured. Ling'er's body has yang energy, can not warm the five Tibetan and six mansions, the cold evil is straight in the inside, I am afraid that it has hurt the viscera, if you don't get the antidote of Buddha head green in time, I am afraid that the evil will be more auspicious. Shen Lingshan and Bai Yixue saw that his face was solemn, his expression was worried, and they sat upright for a long time without saying a word, both of them were worried in their hearts, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.

After a long time, Shi Zhongmo said: "'It is not evil to be idle because of illness, and there is no medicine for peace of mind. 'Ling'er, you can rest assured that you can rest in my place, as long as you take care of it properly, you will gradually get better. ”

Shen Lingshan said: "Yes." ”

Suddenly, he heard a soft sound on the roof, and Shi Zhongmo smiled: "The guest has arrived." Before the words fell, a person had already floated in from outside the house, and Bai Yixue felt a pang in his heart: "This person is so fast." Looking at it, the man had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his body was slender, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and stood up and shouted, "Master Ling!"

The person who came was the "thousand-handed spirit ape" Ling Zhaoxu. At that moment, everyone saw it one by one, and they were overjoyed. After sitting down, Ling Zhao smiled and said, "Ling has come to Mr. Shi's house every day for several days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I can look forward to you today." How about this way?"

At this time, Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan immediately understood why Shi Zhongmo seemed to have expected their arrival, and they were also clear about the poison of the Buddha's head in Shen Lingshan's body, and it turned out that they all got the information from Ling Zhaoxu.

Bai Yixue said: "There is Lao Ling's head worried. Although there were small twists and turns on our road, fortunately there were no dangers. Master Ling, how is the situation over there in Tang Wei?"

Ling Zhaoxu's expression darkened, and he let out a long sigh, and when Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan saw it, their hearts sank. Bai Yixue thought to herself: "No, we finally rushed to Lin'an, but Tang Weeping went back to Tangjiabao and pounced, right?"

Shi Zhongmo said: "Since the head of Ling arrived in Lin'an Mansion, he has gone to the palace of the king of Enping County every day to visit Tang Wei's whereabouts, but this guy is very alert, living in a simple house every day, and rarely going out, so although Ling Zhangmen has tried his best, it has been difficult to find a good opportunity. ”

Shen Lingshan saluted Ling Zhaoxu with a bowl of wine and said, "Master Ling, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yixue heard that Tang Wei was still in Lin'an City, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Zhaoxu waved his hand and said, "Miss Shen is polite. Although the Enping Palace, with high walls and deep courtyards, is heavily guarded, it is not difficult for me to ......" The three people in the seat smiled, and they all thought in their hearts: "The palace is strictly forbidden, you also come and go freely, a small palace, what can you do?" Ling Zhaoxu continued: "I saw the opportunity halfway, and took advantage of his absence in the house to search in his room, but unfortunately found nothing. ”

Bai Yixue frowned and said, "If that's the case, it's tricky." ”

Ling Zhaoxu said: "I also secretly observed Tang Cry during the day, and saw a black sac hanging from the waist, presumably such a rare thing as the Buddha's head green antidote was placed in the sac." ”

Shen Lingshan said: "Yes, I once saw that Tang Hou's belt was also attached to a black sac, and the Buddha's head was contained in a colorful small porcelain bottle. ”

Ling Zhaoxu nodded and said, "That's it." It's too cautious to hate Tang Wei, who puts the sac under his headrest every night when he sleeps, and ties the other end to his wrist with a silk rope. One night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, I waited outside the house until the second half of the night, I couldn't hold it anymore, and sneaked into his room, but before I got close, I woke him up, and in the darkness the dark Qingzi came like raindrops......

Shen Lingshan's "ah", Ling Zhaoxuan sat in front of him dignifiedly, he was fine, but the secret weapons of the Tang Sect are famous all over the world, and he rarely misses, Shen Lingshan still couldn't help but cry out when he heard the thrill.

Ling Zhaoxu stroked the black mustache on his lips and said, "His grandmother's ...... Thankfully, Lao Tzu ...... Ouch, Miss Shen, I'm sorry...... Fortunately, I was wearing protective soft armor at the time, otherwise I would have really been beaten into a hedgehog by him......" said and drank a glass of wine in front of him into his abdomen, and the right hand of the wine trembled slightly.

The three people in the audience all knew that it was extremely dangerous at that time, and Ling Zhao's void was tantamount to walking in front of the ghost gate. The three of them sighed and sighed, only saying that Ling Zhao was blessed with a false life, and Shi Zhongmo and Bai Yixue toasted him with a glass of wine respectively. Shen Ling's shirt didn't stick to the wine, replaced the wine with tea, and also toasted a glass.

Ling Zhaoxu sighed: "I was reckless at this time, but even if I startled the snake, Tang Wei was more cautious since then, even when taking a bath, he had to put the sac in a place where he could see it, and every night when he slew, there were disciples of the Tang Sect on duty outside the house. Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan looked at each other, frowned for a while, and were speechless.

Ling Zhaoxu's face was full of apologies, and he said: "I all complain that Ling was anxious at a certain time and was in a hurry, so that things ended up like today. He sighed and slapped his forehead with his hand, looking remorseful.

Seeing this, Shen Lingshan hurriedly relieved: "Master Ling, I can't complain about you, Tang Wei is shrewd and cautious, and he does things without leakage, even if you don't startle the snake, it is not easy to get his treasure." ”

Bai Yixue said: "Yes, Master Ling doesn't have to blame himself. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat goes straight to the bridge. He forced himself to be relaxed, but his heart was full of sorrow: "The Shen family's sister's body is getting thinner and thinner, I'm afraid that I can't stand the delay anymore, if I can't find an opportunity and can't get the antidote to the Buddha's head, how can I be good?"

Shi Zhongmo said: "Brother Bai Shige is right, as long as he is a human being, there will always be a time when he is a hundred secrets and a mistake, is it possible that he is always on the verge of a great enemy and is fully guarded?"

Ling Zhaoxu said: "After that mistake, I was unwilling, I secretly observed from afar, although I couldn't get close to him, but I also took advantage of him several times to go out and went into his room to search, but there was no gain, and I was annoyed, so I gave it to him by the way...... Left a little ...... Left a little mark. ”

Shi Zhongmo picked up a piece of meat with a chopstick, smiled slightly, and asked, "Oh, what mark?"

Ling Zhao smiled wryly and said, "I saw a night pot under his bed, so I sprinkled it in the night pot...... He soaked his urine and poured some into the teapot he drank his daily tea...... Hehe, he hit me with dozens of dark green sticks, and I returned dozens of drops to him...... Back to the dragon soup, even if it is evened out twice, each does not owe. ”

Shi Zhongmo and Bai Yixue were stunned when they heard this, and immediately burst out laughing. Most of these people in the rivers and lakes are vulgar on weekdays, and such banter and teasing are ordinary for them, and they don't take it to heart at all, but Shen Lingshan listened to it, and he was angry and funny, his face was red with shame, and he said, "You ...... You ......" got up and walked out of the house.

The three people in the seat pushed the glasses and changed the lamp, and drank the wine for a while, Bai Yixue estimated that Shen Ling's shirt had returned to the room to rest, and remembered something in his heart, and said: "Mr. Shi, Master Ling, there is one thing I have never dared to tell Miss Shen, but I can't hide it in the end. Then he explained in detail how Shen Zhong died because of his guardian's daughter, and his words shocked Shi Zhongmo and Ling Zhaoxu speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Shi Zhongmo sighed, tears raged, and muttered, "Senior Brother Shen...... Senior Brother Shen ......, "Back then, the bits and pieces of myself and Shen Chong who studied together under the mentor came to mind, how could it not make him have mixed feelings?"

Bai Yixue saw Ling Zhao sitting on the seat in a daze, his eyes wandered, and he felt sorry in his heart, and said: "Master Ling, you asked about Shen Shenshen in Tangjiabao that day, but the younger brother didn't dare to tell the truth, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Ling Zhaoxu sighed: "You are thinking about Miss Shen's body, and you are also kind, there is no need to say it again." It's just that if I had known about this, on the way to Lin'an, I would have to go to Baisha Town, burn some paper money on Doctor Shen's grave, and pay respects. Saying that, I was very sad.

Shi Zhongmo said sadly: "Pity my Ling'er...... This child has no mother since she was a child, and it was Senior Brother Shen who raised her single-handedly, and now she has no father...... Alas, my hard-working Ling'er ......" thought that Shen Ling's shirt was infected with poison and his life was on the verge of death, and he felt even more grief.

Bai Yixue said: "Mr. Shi, the most important thing at the moment is to get the antidote from the Tang Sect." Master Ling, you just said that Tang Weeping went out from time to time, I don't know where he goes every time?"

Ling Zhaoxu said: "Tang Wei lives in the palace on weekdays, mostly stays in his own room, and has to sleep with a maid every night, and sometimes he will call a girl to go to the fence, all night long, and it is unbearable. This guy only went out a few times, two of which were to meet the king of Enping County, but unfortunately every time they met, they were in the living room of the king of Enping, and there were people from the rivers and lakes and the palace guards on duty outside, and they couldn't get close, so I don't know what they were talking about......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes stared directly at the flame of the candlestick, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Bai Yixue saw something strange and asked, "What, Master Ling, is there something wrong?"

Ling Zhaoxu said: "In the past month, I have been going to Enping Wangfu almost every day to snoop, and in his palace, all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes have suddenly gathered, these people are sneaky, and they seem to be ...... Plotting a confidential matter. ”

Bai Yixue thought to herself: "That night in the Zhongwu Hou Temple, Sun Sichu once said that Tang Wei was invited by someone from the Wangfu of Enping County, saying that there was a big matter to discuss, so he hurriedly came to Lin'an Mansion. Could it be that Tang Weeping was not the only one who was invited?" and Shi Zhongmo glanced at each other and asked, "Do you see clearly? Who are they?"

Ling Zhaoxu said: "I know, among the messengers of the love religion, there are 'Qi Qing Envoy' Ji Liang Bitter, 'Injury Envoy' Jin Pestle Sad......

The envoys of love and education are in the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, all of them are dominant, famous, Bai Yixue is not very familiar, and he doesn't care about it in his heart, Shi Zhongmo listened, and immediately gasped, thinking: "'Destroying the heart and chasing the soul, love and teaching the Tang Gate', love and education have always had a deep friendship with the government, and in recent years, it has attracted a large number of good players in the rivers and lakes, and the momentum is blazing." The love envoy of the love sect appeared in the palace, coupled with Tang Wai of the Tang Sect Tantra, I don't know what big thing King Enping is trying to plot against these strange people in the rivers and lakes?"

Ling Zhaoxu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I also saw the short-track people of Sikong Mountain, You Shudu of the Diancang faction, Pi Qingtian of the Lingxu Cave, Peng Dazhi of the Kongtong faction, and Sikong Beiqiu of the Xiaoxiang faction, all of whom have been famous for a long time. By the way, there are also a few strange-looking monks from the Western Regions, I don't know where they are sacred. ”

Bai Yixue and Shi Zhongmo were amazed when they heard this, and they both thought in their hearts: "Sikong Mountain is not far from Lin'an Mansion, and the Xiaoxiang faction is rampant in the Jinghu area, but Lingxu Cave is located in the southwest of Wumeng Mountain, and the Kongtong faction has lived in Weizhou in the northwest for a long time, and the Diancang faction is far away in Dali, and several families rarely move around in the Jiangnan area. Today's saints have been walking on ice and ice since the imperial pole, and they have been tireless, but the old man has occasionally heard it recently, saying that the official family gradually feels that the dragon body is not safe, and he is tired of work, so he must choose one person from the king of Enping County and the king of Pu'an County, and set up as the prince, so that he can enter the unification in the future, seek to eliminate rebellion, recover the great rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, and save the people of the Central Plains from fire and water. ”

Ling Zhao said in a strange way: "The official family is young and strong, why would they have the intention of abdicating?"

Shi Zhongmo's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Since Prince Yuanyi's unfortunate early death, the biggest heart disease of the official family is that there has been no heir, and the golden pill that has been eaten for many years has no effect. "Shi Zhongmo and the palace physician Wang Jixian have a very personal relationship, Zhao Gou in order to seek an heir, perennial take Qiangyang Jindan "fairy spleen" inside the story, although he is a foreign minister, but also very clear, continued: "'Fairy spirit spleen' is also known as 'Epimedium ', although it is beneficial to the dragon body of the official family, but the medicine is too strong, so it is ......" said and said silently.

Bai Yixue said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing, pharmacologically speaking, poison and medicine are actually the same, poison is medicine, and conversely, medicine is poison." Thinking of the scene of walking in Tangjiabao with Shen Lingshan that day, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Shi Zhongmo smiled and said, "Not bad." The official you saw during the day was the commander of the envoy in front of the palace. This palace marshal is the closest person to the official family, Shi is a humble person, where can he cling to it? Ming Huali came for this reason. He drank all the glass of wine in front of him, and didn't wait for Bai Yixue to ask, and said: "The official family has been taking the golden pill for a long time, although it has benefited from it, it has also suffered from it, and the dragon body has been greatly damaged. Thanks to the love of the official family, the old man is also quite thin and famous, so after a while, the palace marshal came to the old man to take some traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate and recuperate the dragon body for the official family. ”

Ling Zhaoxu said: "It seems that the official dragon body is really a bit ...... Somewhat...... If he wants to establish the crown prince, I am afraid he has to do it as a last resort. ”

Bai Yixue said: "On the way back to Lin'an, when Brother Yang Caoyang and I were chatting, he also mentioned that the position of the crown prince had not been established for many years, so there was a lot of discussion in the court, and people's hearts were uncertain. ”

Shi Zhongmo said: "Yes, in fact, everyone has also seen the intention of the official family to abdicate the position, but no one dares to say it clearly." What do you think, in the eyes of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen, the two county kings have been raised in the deep palace since they were children, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, and the east and west mansions have their own merits. ”

Bai Yixue thought of the attack on Yang Cao, and felt emotional, and said: "For the sake of the country's society, the official family should be cautious, but the hateful thing is that there are many people in the court who tend to be inflammatory, and they have chosen sides one after another, and what is even more hateful is that these people are trying to take credit in front of the new lord in their hearts, and they are wantonly pouring and eradicating dissidents, so that they are framed and framed, and all kinds of means are used to the extreme. If this continues, I am afraid that the government will collapse, the program and discipline will be abolished, and it will no longer be out of control.

Shi Zhongmo turned his head to look out the window, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai Shi, bluntly talk about Jia Woe, now the city is full of 'chasers' of the Imperial City Division, let's be careful when we speak, in case there are ears next door and get into trouble." Bai Yixue stuck out her tongue and smiled softly.

The Imperial City Division mentioned by Shi Zhongmo was the first year of Shaoxing (1113), and the imperial court changed the "Xingying Guard" to "Xing in the Imperial City Division". The Imperial City Division is not subject to the jurisdiction of the "three yas" of the palace commander, the guards and the horse army commanding the envoys, and the guards and the infantry troops commanding the envoys, and they are directly under the emperor's secret service, and their powers are greatly expanded compared with before, not only responsible for the palace and the guards, but also responsible for supervising the hundred officials and spying on intelligence, so the hundred officials and the common people privately call them "chazi". The authority of the Imperial City Division is extremely heavy, and the arrogance is scorching, and the government and the opposition are sideways for a while.

During the Zhao Dynasty, the inspectors of the Imperial City Division were all over the capital, and their figures were everywhere, so they often took people from time to time when they were guilty of crimes. Most of the people who have been imprisoned in the Imperial City Division have been subjected to the punishment of cutting off the skin and flesh, removing the marrow and picking the tendons, so that in the capital, when everyone talks about the word "Imperial City Division", they are all frightened, and the people of the people are scared of the crying children, as long as they say "Chazi is here!" Most of the children are so frightened that they stop crying.

Ling Zhaoxu stood up and said, "Mr. Shi, the room is a little stuffy, I'll go outside to breathe." He walked out of the house quickly. Ling Zhaoxu has been in Lin'an Mansion for nearly a month, and he has also heard of the Imperial City Division, and knows that the stakes are not trivial.
