The next day, Xi Ning asked Jing'er and everyone to come over. After asking, those who were familiar with the capital were left behind.

The eight dead soldiers are naturally the most familiar with the affairs of the previous capital. After all, as dead soldiers, they must understand everything in the capital. Otherwise, even if they know some things after being sent here, they will not understand what happened.

During this period, these eight dead soldiers seemed to have become life-and-death friends. They drank and ate meat together, and helped each other from time to time. They also went to the battlefield together, sneaked into the enemy camp, and captured their commanders.

Xining thought for a while and then said: "You eight are going to follow me anyway, so you can simply become my nursing home and return to Beijing together. Then I will find an opportunity to ask you to come or get a reward for you."

, remove the slave status."

They are naturally happy, but there are also some who are frowning.

One of them clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Lord County, but I am a dead soldier. I can't escape unless I obey my orders."

Xi Ning smiled: "Is there anyone in the world who is not a king? As long as it is the king's decree, who would dare to disobey it. I know you have a wife and children. When the time comes, I will take your wife and children out and live in seclusion with you."

He was immediately overjoyed and knelt down to salute: "Thank you so much for the kindness of the county master. I am willing to go through fire and water for the county master without any hesitation!"

Others knelt down almost at the same time: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the county lord, no matter what!"

"Everyone, get up, get up." Xi Ning was most troubled by the excessive etiquette in this era, with so many courtesies coming and going. She asked Jing'er and other maids to help her, otherwise, they would thank her endlessly.

After everyone got up, Xi Ning called Butler Xiao and Butler Lin to take care of Xiao Zhan. He ordered them to go down. Butler Xiao looked after the house, and Butler Lin and Xiao Zhan followed. The maid took Jing'er, Qin'er, and Shi'er.

Everyone else stayed in the mansion. Eight dead men served as coachmen, servants, and guards.

Finally, he said: "I'll give you an hour. In one hour, gather at the door and set off!"

Suddenly everyone was stunned, and some of them said "Ah" in surprise.

Xining looked around at these dumbfounded people: "Go ahead and get ready. Hurry up."

The eight dead soldiers were the fastest. They disappeared one by one with a "swish, swish". Half of them jumped out of the window. It seems that this professional habit cannot be changed.

Jing'er was anxious: "County Master, it's only been an hour, how can I prepare for this?"

Xi Ning was good at tempting and guided carefully: "Prepare three sets of ordinary clothes for me. If you don't have them, go to the backyard and ask a maid of similar stature to get them. Then go to the warehouse to pick up fifty taels of silver, and that's it. You can just prepare three sets of clothes and wrap them up.

But you don’t need to bring any rouge or gouache. If you want it for an hour, a stick of incense is enough. I haven’t heard the imperial edict, and the palace has already prepared it.”

They all say that they are so poor that they have sold all their clothes and jewelry and are living in poverty, so naturally they don’t need to prepare anything. This time I go to the capital to show off how rich I am, so I don’t have to worry about all the big and small bags.

So an hour later, with Jing'er's support, Xi Ning got on the prepared bullock cart.

There were three cars in total, and everyone got on and set off.

Seven days later, Xining went ashore from Qujiang and arrived in the city.

There were already people coming and going on the pier, and it was very lively. Xining was full of curiosity. This is the capital of this era, and I didn't expect it to be quite prosperous.

Jing'er asked from the side: "County Lord, do you want to enter the palace immediately?"

Xining shook his head: "No, go to the inn first and freshen up."

Come to think of it, he is wearing such a simple long cotton coat with no jewelry on his head. This long coat was borrowed from the maid in the palace. How could the majesty of the county enter the palace wearing such ordinary clothes?

Entering the inn, he asked for six upper rooms.

The shop owner sitting behind the counter took a second look at this group of people.

Eight Han slaves were dressed up, two of them were tanned, and they seemed to run out a lot. But the four women in the middle, who were wearing very ordinary clothes, were wearing hats. They wore hats for protection, and only the daughters of wealthy families were wearing them.

He wears a hat. But he doesn't wear a hat, but wears ordinary clothes.

The shop owner said in a long voice: "Each room is worth five cents of silver per day."

"Pah~" Five taels of silver were slapped on the table, and Butler Lin's voice was loud, with a bit of a rich man's air: "Stay one night first, and if you have a good stay, you can continue."

When the shop owner saw it, he immediately smiled, took the silver ingot, bit it with his teeth, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "It's easy to talk about, but I won't be able to find the money for a while."

"Exactly." Xiao Zhan, who was behind, sneered disdainfully: "You have so many visitors coming and going here, you probably have a turnover of a hundred taels of silver every day. Can't you even find out about this?"

Xining said calmly: "No need to look for it yet, some good food will be sent to each house."

"Okay!" the shop owner yelled at the top of his lungs: "Waiter, bring the customers up quickly."

When meeting this group of wealthy owners, the waiter naturally had a very good attitude. He invited them upstairs and opened a room.

"This is the best room. Let's see how it goes. The quilt has just been washed and dried, and it has a nice fragrance...what else needs to be added?" The waiter's mouth was so sharp that it was faster than a wheel.

Xining walked in and looked around. The room was quite spacious. When he opened the window, he could see the main road in the capital, which was not far from the palace. So he nodded.

"Okay! Let's go to another room next to the other girls and gentlemen." The waiter said with a smile on his face: "It's right next to it, specializing in the ones that are connected."

After everyone left, he closed the door. Xining took off his hat and said, "I'll prepare some hot water later. I want to take a bath."

After taking a bath, eating some hot soup and rice, and then lying down for a nap, I felt alive again.

Then it was time to make a plan. When she came this time, she was not stupid enough to go into the palace and be slaughtered as a sheep. Even if she was a sheep, she had to be a sheep with horns.

"Duk duk, duk~" Someone knocked on the door softly. Two short and one long, it was a dead man.

Jing'er went to open the door and let the dead man in.

Xining was leaning against the window, admiring the excitement on the capital streets through the crack in the window: "Have you heard about it?"

"Yes." The dead man saluted: "I'm reporting to the county master, I've heard about it."

Yang Lin, the queen's nephew, was a well-known dandy in the capital. He took advantage of the name of the queen's mother's family and got a casual job. He did not do anything serious all day long, and most liked to hang out in Huajie, Liuxiang, Qinlou and Chuguan.

Whenever they meet a decent-looking common girl, they will inevitably go up to tease her. If they meet a good-looking girl, they will send people to her home to persuade her, promising to be an official and a generous salary, and let her join the palace as a maid.

The common people were angry but dared not speak out, but there were some beautiful women who were greedy for power and power, deliberately wandering around, and after being spotted, they were taken into the palace.

Yang Lin was also a smart man. Every time he was accused, he would get away with it on the grounds that he had never raped women. Those women came to serve in the government voluntarily, and he was not there to rob them.
