The day passed by in a blink of an eye. It was drizzling in the early morning, and the sun was shining brightly at noon. The internal fighting among the royal guards had no impact on the Gongun princes, but it affected the ordinary people the most.
The inner west city was the most prosperous place in the capital, but a group of strong men suddenly came out to take people everywhere. For a moment, people were in a state of panic.
Nanzhen Fusi was already very busy. The arrested people were interrogated one by one, and then tortured. There were not many clean ones among the general flags, small flags, and hundreds of households. Nanzhen Fusi had already
I don't know how many black files have been stored on these people. Now that they are all cleared, there are already bursts of mourning in Fusi, Nanzhen.
Liu Zhongxia, on the other hand, could sit still. When he heard the panicked captain coming to report in the Qianhu Institute, he just ignored it and continued working until evening. He came out of the Qianhu Institute and got on the carriage. He said to the coachman: "Go to Chen Tongzhi."
The other courtyard.”
The wheels of the carriage moved slowly. After Liu Zhongxia, who was motionless as a mountain, entered the carriage, his face became as cold as frost. A sneer appeared on his uncertain face. Then he gradually relaxed and squinted his eyes.
Take a nap.
The carriage arrived at a villa all the way. Liu Zhongxia got out of the car. The concierge met Liu Zhongxia. He must be very familiar with Liu Zhongxia. He smiled and said: "My master is listening to the play inside. Liu Qianhu came just in time. Today's order is '
"Pipa Ji", if Liu Qianhu is interested in music, you should also listen to it."
Liu Zhongxia smiled slightly and said, "Are they the original members of the Zhou family's class in the south of the city?"
"is not that right?"
"The Pipa Records of Zhou's class are the most outstanding. I would like to listen to them carefully." After Liu Zhongxia said this, he walked straight across the threshold.
The concierge said with a smile: "The little man will not report it, Liu Qianhu can do it himself."
Liu Zhongxia went straight through the Yimen and the courtyard. Before he reached the inner courtyard, he heard Xiao Guan's euphemistic voice. There were many such courtyards in the capital. They played and sang every night. They were raised secretly by the lords and adults.
The outer room is usually very lively, especially in the evening. From now on, it will not stop until midnight.
Liu Zhongxia easily passed through a ceremony gate, walked through a quiet path with ease, and finally arrived at the back garden. The stage here had been set up, and there were groups of slaves, either presenting fruits to their masters or giving their mistresses a pat on the back.
, there are also a few standing on the side, so as to listen to the tune at any time. At the bottom of the troupe is a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in rich clothes, with his feet up and singing along with the actors on the stage in an awkward manner, holding a glass of wine in his hand.
He looked like he was ready to drink it all at any moment.
Leaning next to this man is a woman with a good-looking face. She may not be outstanding in appearance, but there is a hint of foxiness in her eyebrows under the light makeup. She whispers something to the man in a low voice from time to time. The middle part of the brocade dress
The young man burst into laughter.
Liu Zhongxia walked over quickly, saluted the middle-aged man first, and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
This person named Lord Chen is none other than Chen Rang, the commander of Jinyiwei. Chen Rang is considered the second-largest person in Beizhen Fusi. Especially when the commander has never been very in charge of things, this Chen Rang is in Beizhen Fusi.
Si almost kept his word. When Chen Rang saw Liu Zhongxia, he smiled and said, "You're just in time. Come, listen to the show, listen to the show."
The foxy eyes of the woman nestling next to Chen Rang turned to Liu Zhongxia, and she said delicately: "Liu Qianhu looks like a tired man. He probably has something to discuss with the master. Master, I still don't want to join in this nonsense."
Okay, let’s ask the actors to take a rest for the time being, and we can relieve my boredom later.”
Chen Rang smiled and held the woman's chin with his hand, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? It's like I'm avoiding you. It's okay, there are no outsiders here, Liu Zhongxia, sit down, let's listen to the play and talk at the same time."
"
A servant had already moved a chair over. Liu Zhongxia leaned over and sat down. He glanced at Chen Rang and said, "Sir Tongzhi, Nanzhen Fusi really bullied people today. Didn't this make it clear to our North Town Fusi?
?That's all. The gentle son-in-law Liu Chengfeng pointed a knife at his immediate boss in front of many people. We Jinyiwei have never heard of such a sensational thing in so many years. However,
But Wen Zheng is wholeheartedly protecting him. By doing this, does he really think that the Wen family runs the health center? Now there is a discussion in the health center. If we just give in, who will be willing to listen to your words in the future? Beizhen Fu has always been talking about it.
Sidu has always suppressed Fusi of Nanzhen. How come now, Fusi of Nanzhen is oppressing him? Mr. Chen must make the decision for our Inner West City Guards, otherwise brothers really don’t know what to do.
Already."
Chen Rang said with a smile: "You too, who would not mess with anyone, but Wen Zheng, who is very scheming, hehe... This old fox has always been close to several princes, and it is not easy to deal with..."
Liu Zhongxia said: "What about the Duke? Mr. Chen is still the adopted son of the factory owner, so we may not be afraid of him."
Chen Rang's expression changed and he said: "Nonsense, my godfather never interferes in the affairs of Jinyiwei. Business matters are official matters, and personal relationships are personal relationships. What do you mean by this? Do you mean that my godfather has a long hand?"
, have you all entered the Jinyiwei?"
Liu Zhongxia was startled and said quickly: "I don't dare."
Chen Rang smiled again and said: "But having said that, Wen Zheng has gone too far in bullying others. Originally, it would be nice for everyone to be in peace, but since he is protecting his relatives and attacking his own brother, it's okay
You can't blame us for being unkind. Today I went to ask the commander what he meant. The commander ignored him and made it clear that he just let it go."
Speaking of the commander, Liu Zhongxia showed no respect at all on his face. He curled his lips and said: "The commander always doesn't care about things, so asking questions is in vain."
Chen Rang sneered and said: "Do you really think that our commander is indifferent and is easy to bully? Hehe... In fact, this old guy is smart. It is unusual for the Holy Emperor to be close to the cabinet nowadays. If the late emperor were here, look at our commander's meeting
What does it look like? Do you know that there is an emperor and a minister? What kind of emperor there is, the people below him should know what kind of ministers to be. With the emperor here, our commander is an honest person." Chen Rang complained for a while,
Then he continued: "Anyway, since Wen Zheng dares to take action, Beizhen Fusi is not easy to bully. Is the man named Liu Chengfeng still in your inner west city guard station?"
Liu Zhongxia said: "He's still there, but he took sick leave today and will still go to the Imperial Academy on duty tomorrow."
Chen Rang picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "That's good. I also heard that there was a man named Huo with him who was also involved in the affairs in the Imperial College? Tomorrow I will take my troops to your Qianhu Office and bring them to the Imperial College.
These two people have taken it. Nanzhen Fusi has nothing to do, so I will personally take care of it. If the next one commits the crime, hehe... It is not difficult to kill him directly with a stick. Wen Zheng dares to kill our general banner of Beizhen Fusi, we
I'll beat Liu Chengfeng and Huo to death and see what Wen Zheng says."
Liu Zhongxia's eyes lit up and he said: "This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey."
Chen Rang took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "You are a timid old man. You are a school captain, but you will be beaten to death if you become a thousand households. Why do you want me to do it? Are you afraid?
Is Wen Zheng looking for trouble?"
Liu Zhongxia was really a little scared. Not to mention that there was Wen Zheng behind Liu Chengfeng. The Minister of Civil Affairs was also Liu Chengfeng's mentor. Although there was no leadership relationship between them, he was only a thousand households after all. This kind of thing was of course the responsibility of the commander.
It would be better if Tongzhi came forward. Liu Zhongxia smiled and said: "I'm humble..."
Chen Rang interrupted him and said, "You don't have to say any more. If Liu Chengfeng arrives at the guardhouse tomorrow, just let him go. If he doesn't, he will go directly to Wen's house to get someone. If he commits such a big crime next time, if I don't care, we will
Do you have any rules at Beizhen Fusi? In addition, give the commander a break early tomorrow morning, and you can arrange the rest. Arrest the person first, then interrogate him slowly, and then execute him after he pleads guilty. If something goes wrong
I'll take care of it."
Liu Zhongxia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This couldn't be better."
Chen Rang chuckled and said: "We are still listening to the opera. I really can't get tired of listening to this Pipa story, especially this week's class is the best. The last time my godfather came, he was full of praises."
Liu Zhongxia said flatteringly: "I am a rough man. I am not as refined as the adults. I cannot understand what I am listening to. I will simply take my leave. I will start a show tonight and start a good show tomorrow."
Chen Rang didn't hold back, waved his hand and said: "Go ahead."
After Liu Zhongxia left, the woman who was leaning on Chen Rang's arm smiled charmingly and said: "Master, how can I see that Liu Zhongxia is using this master as a gunman?"
Chen Rang laughed loudly and said: "It's not that Liu Zhongxia used me as a gunman. Do you think that you, surnamed Wen, made such a big move to deal with a little Liu Zhongxia? Humph, Wen Zheng is giving me a look, I'm like this
If you don't use the gun, how will you convince the public in the future?" He whispered in the woman's ear and continued: "I still have a gun that I want to use, Lian'er, do you want to give it a try?"
The woman named Lian'er leaned against Chen Rang like a snake and squirmed, murmuring in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the master is a fool."
"Haha..." Chen Rang laughed wildly, pinched Lian'er Xuenen's face hard, and continued to listen to the show.
