Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Xiaoyang just walked out of the door and wanted to greet Ju Yeqi to take Xiaodi out for a walk, but he met the housekeeper Lao Zhou at the door.

"Young Master Yang, there is already news about the person you are looking for. Lao Zhou saluted and said with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, and forgot to return the salute, "So fast?"

immediately reacted, saluted, and had a new understanding of the speed of the Guogong Mansion.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this Ezhou city, and in less than a day, they found the person they were looking for in this vast sea of people, which can be said to be their hands and eyes.

"Grandpa usually likes to walk around the city, and he knows a lot of people, and it just so happens that some of these people know Zheng Ji. However, the old man didn't know what Gongzi was looking for that person, so he didn't let people check it carefully, but just asked where he lived and came to report. ”

Yang Xiaoyang nodded and secretly praised, he is worthy of being the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, and he does not leak anything.

"Then where does Zheng Ji live?"

"In the south of the city. ”

Yang Xiaoyang saluted again and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, thank you, it's really helpful." I'll pack up a little and go right away. ”

"The prince needs someone to accompany him, there are many guards in the house, and there are also soldiers in the army, if necessary, His Royal Highness the prince has ordered ten people to be dispatched. Lao Zhou said with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Lao Zhou with a kind face, but his eyes were full of murder, and he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "I'm just looking for him to discuss, and I'm not looking for revenge, what do you want the armor to do." ”

Lao Zhou smiled, "Recently, the city patrol department reported that there was a corpse chaser in the city, Gongzi should be careful, if you encounter it, you can tell the old man." ”

After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he gave up his hand and left.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Old Zhou's stiff back, and couldn't connect him with the murderous old man just now, so he could only sigh that the housekeeper of this Guogong Mansion was not an ordinary person.

As for the corpse chaser, Yang Xiaoyang is quite looking forward to meeting him, maybe he can borrow his corpse for use......

Yang Xiaoyang opened the door and entered the house, opening the box.

"Xiao Di, the descendants of the ancestors who do not violate the Tao have found it, will you go with me, or will you let Sister Yeqi take you around the city?" Yang Xiaoyang touched the small bowl in his arms.

Xiao Tu pouted and thought for a while, "Little lamb, you are so stupid! I'll go with you, and you can take me with you when you come back." ”

Yang Xiaoyang sniffed, nodded with a fluttering look, and went out with the box on his back.

In fact, she wanted Ju Yeqi to take Xiao Di to go shopping, so that she could be lazy in the house when she came back.

............................

Twenty-four years of Anyan, winter, southern Xinjiang.

"Chu sleeve, let me tell you, as soon as we get to Guanzhong in winter, the snow will not stop. I remember one time when I was a kid when the snow was very heavy, and I was still learning tailoring with my father. I was sewing a cloth garment in the store when someone rushed in from outside. The man was a little fat man, covered in snow on his brocade, and his face was terrified. ”

Yang Qi looked at the warm sun outside the house, took a sip of tea, and just wanted to continue but was interrupted by Chu Sleeve, "You also worked as a tailor?"

Yang Qi didn't care, and said a little smugly: "I'm not an ordinary tailor, now Prince Mingwu's dragon robe is sewn by me, so I will wait until he ascends the throne to put it on for him." ”

Chu Sleeve said quietly: "Isn't there a special dragon robe in the palace? ”

Yang Qi slapped his thigh, "He dare!"

Chu Sleeve glanced at him and took a sip of tea, "Since General Yang has such great ability, why haven't I seen you sew a robe for the little woman?" After eating so many meals in vain, the little woman wanted to drive people away. ”

Yang Qi froze for a moment, laughed dryly, and changed the topic: "Hehe, let's not talk about this first." The little fat man came into my shop and was just about to speak, and guess what? Before he could say half a sentence, he spat out the snow. ”

After Yang Qi finished speaking, he laughed to himself, but after laughing for a while, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Sleeve looking at him quietly, and continued: "That little fat man finally finished vomiting snow, so let me find him a warm place to hide." I was sewing something at the time, and I was broken and sewn, and I was angry, so I pointed to the backyard and said, "There's a snowman in the backyard, so it's not cold if you hide inside." ’”

Yang Qi shook his head, "Actually, I regretted it after saying it, I knew by looking at the little fat man's clothes that he was from an extraordinary background, and I was afraid that he would annoy him and have no good fruit to eat." He nodded gratefully and rushed to the backyard.

I was still stunned, when I saw a group of people in iron armor rushing in on a snowy day, and the iron armor was full of snow, and I was cold when I looked at it. One of them, with a shivering face, asked me if anyone had ever come in, and I looked at the snow spit out by the little fat man on the ground, and shook my head. ”

"And then?" Chu Sleeve was attracted by the story, and asked when he saw that Yang Qi did not speak.

Yang Qi smashed his mouth, "The group of armor soldiers listened to my words and glanced around my shop, and left without saying a word. I didn't think much of it, and ran to the backyard to see where the idiot was hiding. Then I saw that the fat man had already dug up half of my snowman, and was trying to put his body into the snowman, but he was too fat to squeeze in. When he saw me coming, he wanted me to help him, and I almost didn't cry, so I had to lead him to the house to make a fire. ”

Chu Sleeve smiled, "Is there such a strange person in the world?"

"Oh, he said his name was Zhao Jinsheng. ”

...............................

Ezhou City is indeed prosperous, although Yang Xiaoyang walked fast because of his impatience, the noise in the early morning still left a deep impact on him.

When he saw a woman who was bargaining with a vendor selling breakfast for a penny, he couldn't help but sigh that the people in Ezhou City not only had a good life, with three meals a day, but they still had a good family and could save money.

He nodded to himself, agreeing, but not intending to learn.

Yang Xiaoyang walked quickly from the Guogong Mansion in the north of the city to the Red Leaf Square in the south of the city, he thought at first that the Red Leaf Square was a market with many trees planted on the side of the road, and it would be red in autumn, but this was not the case.

This place is very different from the north of the city, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Momijifang is more like a suburb, the houses are fenced and scattered, some of the houses have farmland behind them, some are planted with pear trees, and some are planted with orange trees.

It's also a lot quieter, and there's no bustle in the north of the city.

Yang Xiaoyang stood on the path and watched for a while, only to see a figure appear in sight.

"Big brother, do you know that there is a person named Zheng Ji who lives nearby?" Yang Xiaoyang walked up to the man, bowed and asked.

The man hissed, thought for a moment before replying, "I seem to have heard of it, it should be in the southernmost place." I remember that his family planted a large orange grove, and it seems that it was once given to our family. I wasn't at home at the time, my father took it, and he told me that Zheng Ji was a good man.

It's just that my father has a bad leg and feet, so it's inconvenient to visit, and he told me to return the gift, but then I forgot. Now little brother, you reminded me, I have to go to the city to prepare something to return the gift, it's not good to run out of courtesy. ”

Yang Xiaoyang didn't expect this man to be so talkative, he just asked if there was such a person, and he said so much......

After thanking him, he just wanted to turn around and leave, but he heard the man say, "Little brother, you don't live here, right?"

Yang Xiaoyang smiled and replied yes.

"Could it be the peasant in the east of the city?"

The corners of Yang Xiaoyang's mouth twitched, he laughed dryly twice without answering, and walked away quickly.

The man looked at Yang Xiaoyang's embarrassed back and chuckled, "It's really an honest farmer......

The further south you go, the more sparse the houses become, and you can often see a hut backed by a forest, and I wonder how this place in the city where every inch of land is so arranged.

Yang Xiaoyang came to the southernmost part of the city, where there were only two rooms in a large area.

Yang Xiaoyang thought about it, walked to one of them and knocked on the door.

"It's coming!"

The door opened, Yang Xiaoyang was stunned, and it was the second child who entertained them in the Tingyang Building the day before yesterday, "It's you?"

Xiao Er's swarthy face was still very dark under the sunlight, as if he had sucked all the light in.

He was also stunned when he heard Yang Xiaoyang's question, and then reacted and smiled: "It turned out to be the guest officer the day before yesterday." Is there anything wrong with you?"

Yang Xiaoxin bowed, "I'm looking for a person named Zheng Ji, his elder has something to give to him." ”

Yang Xiaoyang saw that Xiao Er didn't answer immediately, but looked at him carefully before he spoke: "Zheng Ji happens to live next to my house, I'll take you there." ”

Yang Xiaoyang hurriedly thanked him, and waited for Xiao Er to close the door and walk side by side with him.

"What do you call the guest officer?" Xiao Er's face was a little tense at this time.

"Oh, my name is Yang Xiaoyang. ”

"Then it's okay to call me Xiaoer. Xiao Er smiled slightly and relaxed a little.

"That's not right, is it?"

"Yang Gongzi misunderstood, my surname is Wang, and my name is Xiao Er. So there's nothing wrong with calling me Xiaoer, I'm used to it. Xiao Er showed his snow-white teeth.

Yang Xiaoyang sighed secretly, feeling that there are really not many fathers and mothers in this world who can be named, "Why didn't you go to Tingyang Tower today?"

"There are a lot of guys in Tingyang Building, and the shopkeeper arranged for us to take turns to rest. ”

Xiao Er took Yang Xiaoyang to a courtyard, stood at the gate of the fence and shouted, "Brother Zheng Ji!

It's just that there was no response after a long time.

Xiao Er frowned, glanced at Yang Xiaoyang, opened the wooden door of the fence, entered the courtyard, came to the door of the house and knocked.

Still didn't respond, Yang Xiaoyang inhaled his nose, smelled a smell, and his face changed, "No!"

With a slam slap on the door, the wooden door cracked. Yang Xiaoyang rushed in and saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed.

The sun shone on the man's face, and his calm face could be seen in the flying dust.

It was so quiet that there was no reaction at all.
