The morning sun shone softly on the earth, and the afterglow shone through the cracks in the house, stinging Xiong's eyes.

Xiong Wei's head felt a sharp pain, and he knocked his head, feeling like his head was falling apart. He sat up subconsciously and supported his head with his hands.

"Are you awake?" Xiong Wei hadn't woken up yet, and when he heard the voice, he looked back, and Shi Zhongyu, who was bare-shouldered, was looking at him with a smile.

Xiong Wei was startled, hurriedly jumped up from the bed, looked at Shi Zhongyu in a panic, and stammered: "Miss Shi, we, yesterday, how could it be?"

"You were drunk and kept pulling me and wouldn't let me go. Shi Zhongyu said charmingly.

Xiong Wei tapped his head, trying to remember yesterday's events, as if he remembered that he had said these words. However, at that time, all he thought about was Xia Yun.

"Miss Shi, this, this, no, I ...... at the time" Xiong Wei didn't know how to say it for a while, and he was anxious and excited, "Miss Shi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Shi Zhongyu pulled a dress next to the bed to cover her body, but she couldn't cover her pair of **.

She walked slowly towards Xiong Wei, wrapped her arms around Xiong Wei's waist, buried her head in Xiong Wei's arms, and said, "I know that you were shouting Xia Yun at that time. I did it willingly. ”

"Miss Shi, you ......" Xiong Wei didn't know what to say for a while. He was in a mess in his heart, hey, he couldn't drink with women anymore, and the result was ......

"Big Stupid Bear, Big Stupid Bear!" Ouyang Ying called Xiong Wei outside the house.

Xiong Wei was startled, pushed Shi Zhongyu away, grabbed his clothes, looked at Shi Zhongyu with slanted eyes, and said, "I'll go out to block it, you quickly put on your clothes." ”

With that, he strode to open the door.

"Huh, big stupid bear, you're so lazy, the sun is all on your ass. You don't get up yet. Are you thinking about which fairy?" Ouyang Ying looked at Xiong Wei's hair like a chicken's nest.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Xiong Wei usually jokes with Ouyang Ying, but today he is not in the mood.

When Xiong Wei woke up for the first time in the morning, he found Shi Zhongyu, and the embarrassment is still lingering in his heart.

Ouyang Ying was originally a joke, and she didn't know the story of Xiong Wei and Shi Zhongyu yesterday. She looked at Xiong Qi's face and changed suddenly, and said very unhappily: "What are you doing fiercely? I didn't provoke you." ”

Xiong Wei saw that Ouyang Ying was angry, so he reacted, he shouldn't be angry at Ouyang Ying, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Why did you come here today, is there any news?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you. After Ouyang Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went to find Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "We were surprised to find a person yesterday who was also in Yangzhou, and he was also with the governor. ”

As soon as Xiong Wei heard the news, his curiosity immediately popped out: "Who?"

"If this person doesn't say a hint, you can't think of who it is if you want to die. But as soon as you prompt you, you'll be able to guess who it is. "Xiaoyaozi deliberately sold a pass.

Xiong Wei frowned, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that I should know this person, maybe it's still an old acquaintance." Am I the one I know who is with the governor?"

Xiong Wei thought, he already had the answer in his heart, and he looked at Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi also looked at Xiong Wei and said, "Who?"

"Could this person be from Jingshi?" Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi curiously.

Xiaoyaozi nodded.

"Could it be Wang Dong?" Xiong Wei said very excitedly and calmly.

"Hmm!" Xiaoyaozi nodded again, "It seems that you have become a lot smarter lately, and you can guess it at once." ”

"The governor was originally a person in the court, and the people in the court I knew were only Wang Dong if I counted them carefully. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that this man is here now, and he must have come for the salt tax. Xiaoyaozi continued to guide Xiong Wei to say.

Xiong Wei narrowed his eyes, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He said suspiciously: "Master, it's not just as simple as seeing Wang Dong and the prefect together. Guess there is still any new news. ”

"Haha!" Xiaoyaozi laughed when he heard this. He nodded with satisfaction, Xiong Wei was indeed much smarter than before.

"Let's go in. Xiaoyaozi continued with a smile.

"Eh, Master, wait. Xiong Wei stopped Xiaoyaozi.

"What's the matter, Master came to sit with you, and you won't let you in?" Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiong Wei strangely.

"No, no, no!" Xiong said three 'no' in a row, but he couldn't find any other suitable reason.

"Squeak!" Shi Zhongyu opened the door, lowered his head, and whispered, "Come in and say, I'll go boil water and make tea for you." ”

Ouyang Ying saw that it was the door opened by Shi Zhongyu, and when she looked at Xiong Yu's red face, and thought about what she said in the morning, she couldn't help but smile and ran over and said, "Sister Yu, I'll help you." ”

"Alas, Ying'er ...... "Xiong Wei wants to say, don't ask nonsense, talk nonsense." But when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.

He estimated in his heart that Ouyang Ying would definitely ask Shi Zhongyu again what happened last night, or why Shi Zhongyu appeared in Xiong Wei's room so early.

"Titica!" Xiaoyaozi coughed twice deliberately, looked at Xiong Qi's bewildered appearance, he didn't have to think about it to know what was going on, and changed the subject, "Let's go! Let's go in and talk." ”

The four of them sat around the table and began to tell the story of what happened yesterday.

Xiaoyaozi and Ouyang Ying disguised themselves as salt merchants in Yangzhou City and roamed the streets. Suddenly, seeing the governor follow Wang Dong, the two of them followed all the way to the Drunken Immortal Residence.

They also ordered a table in the room next to the governor.

The governor summoned all the officials with official titles in Yangzhou, and the prefect of Yangzhou, the Yandao Yamen, the governor, and officials from all walks of life gathered together.

Xiaoyaozi estimated that the governor had told Wang Dong about Xiong Wei.

Wang Dong said the form of the imperial court, and now the frontier war is urgent, and Shandong has just been hit by a drought, and this area around Shandong has been affected, and there is no grain harvest.

There are too many places for the imperial court to spend money, and the treasury is tight. Salt taxes have always been an important source of state finance. This year's silver is so scarce, the emperor likes Jianghuai salt to replenish the country's holes.

The emperor doesn't have the heart to embarrass everyone, if he doesn't want to cut anyone. I only hope that all the adults and various departments can cooperate with each other and support each other to raise the salt tax by a few more layers and share the worries of the imperial court.

When Xiong Wei heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "This Wang Dong is so ruthless. With this move, he still has to eat the meat, not only not to offend people, but also to handle the affairs of the court. ”

"That's right! Big Dumb Bear. He also said a lot of. ”

"?" Xiong didn't understand what he meant.

"It's just the hard work of all the adults. All this, I'm all in the left ear and out of the right ear. However, there is a that I listen to in my head and remember in my heart. ”

Xiong Wei looked at Ouyang Ying, and Ouyang Ying also looked up at Xiong Ying. Then he repeated Wang Dong's words.

Wang Dong told those officials that the emperor did have a guard with a sword and a guard with a sword, and he could enter and leave the palace freely. However, the emperor only asked him to escort King Fu to Luoyang, and did not let him come to check the Jianghuai salt tax.

Xiong Wei is nosy. If, it really didn't work, Wang Dong told those officials fiercely that if Xiong Wei intervened again, Wang Dong could let the queen tell the emperor and let the emperor cure Xiong Wei's crimes.

"Is this governor the queen's person again?" Xiong Wei wondered in his heart: If according to Wang Dong's statement, Yun'er didn't know what to do with the emperor.

Wang Dong is a sworn enemy with himself on weekdays, and as soon as these shots are made, it is estimated that they will be on the bar again.

Xiong Wei thought for a while and then continued: "The point is that we don't have enough evidence now. The ledger is now in the governor's hands. He was going to destroy the evidence. In this way, we are more passive. ”

"What should I do then!" Ouyang Ying propped her hands on the table and looked at Xiong Wei helplessly.

"Since the evidence was taken from the old gang leader, why don't we go to the old gang leader again to see what he can do. Shi Zhongyu reminded.

Xiong Wei looked at Shi Zhongyu. "I've thought about it too. It's just that I'm too embarrassed to speak again. Right now, they don't bother with the Salt Gang, and I'm not sure what they want. What if they're just waiting for me to go to the Salt Gang and then wait for an opportunity to arrest someone?"

Xiaoyaozi sighed and said: "Your current identity is very embarrassing, saying that you are a member of the imperial court, and you are not yet." If you weren't an official of the imperial court, there would be nothing in and out of the Salt Gang. However, you are now considered to have entered the Salt Gang like this, and Wang Dong can say that you colluded with the bandits. ”

After all, Xiaoyaozi is a generation higher than Xiong Wei, and he has experienced many more things than Xiong Wei, whether it is the palace or the rivers and lakes.

The most important Xiaoyaozi has an identity that no one knows, and it is because of this identity that he must be implicated in many things in his life.

"I don't have anything in this identity. It's just that I don't know what the old man thinks about the emperor. If he supports me in doing it, I'll do it. ”

"What if he doesn't support you? What if he doesn't admit it now?" As for the emperor's attitude, he himself can't say for sure.

Although he knew the identity of the hidden dragon, he also knew that the hidden dragon would not tell lies. However, things are so complicated now, and he is not sure what to do. Even if it is Qianlong himself, he is just an outsider, and he is not sure about this royal family matter.

Xiong Wei smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, then don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust. I was just a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't want to care about the affairs of the court. I'm in danger now, and he doesn't care about me. That's ......."

Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiong Wei and said, "What do you want?" In fact, he knew in his heart that Xiong Wei would give up. If you don't do it, it's really not going to be easy.

"Then of course I ......" Xiong Wei heard Xia Yun's voice before he finished speaking.

"Xiong Wei!" Xia Yun fell to the door panting.

Xiong Wei was startled, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
