The role of the Imperial City Department is not as good as that of the later Jinyiwei and Dongchang. It is more like a traveler in the dark, opening its cold eyes and looking at Bianliang and the world.

But they could only watch it. They rarely heard the news that the Imperial City Department had taken action to arrest people, which shows their caution.

And this caution comes from their identities.

The personal power of the emperor!

Against the backdrop of unprecedented strength of civil servants, the emperor's private power must also return to the dark place and not emerge.

Chen An knew that the people in the Imperial City Department could not interfere too much, but he was a little annoyed. The biggest anger was that Zhang Ba Nian refused to inform him, otherwise he would let those powerful people fail!

Zhang Banian looked ahead calmly and said, "Imperial City is not someone."

He turned around and went out, "Take it away!"

Just one sentence made Chen An feel guilty, and he shouted: "Ermei!"

"Mr. Lang!"

Zeng Ermei rushed out, and a big man from the Imperial City Department couldn't help but exclaim when he saw her, "So ugly!"

Chen Luo couldn't help but say angrily: "Ermei is a beauty!"

I'll go!

Chen An, who was used to Chen Luo's aesthetic view, said seriously: "Yes, my Ermei is naturally a beauty."

Wei Ming's eyes twitched for a moment, feeling that this family was not normal.

Zeng Ermei was dissatisfied and bowed to her fortunately.

Chen An explained: "Get some bacon for Zhang Duzhi to bring back."

It happened that Zhao Zhongzhen came to visit him and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

A picture appeared in his mind: Zhang Banian carried a few pieces of bacon and swaggered across the market until he arrived in the palace...

The people of Bianliang will laugh.

Zhang Banian turned his face away and frowned and said, "Forget it, I've been fasting recently... and eating vegetarian food."

He also felt it was inappropriate, but Chen An said enthusiastically: "This is not a problem. Remember to take it back and hang it in a ventilated place. Don't be wet! It's best to hang it in the kitchen, so that it can be hung for less than half a year without breaking..."

Zeng Ermei ran back in a flash and came out with three pieces of bacon later.

Chen An took it and hung the rope in Zhang Banian's hand without any refusal, saying, "Look, this is the best pork, fat and thin, most of it is fat. After one bite, the oil bursts out, it feels so good... The lean meat is chewy, not too busy..."

Zhang Banian felt uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't help but look at the bacon in his hand when he heard this.

The bacon looks a little gray-black on the outside, but the grease is covered with a layer of white, with greasy white, like a girl hiding in the boudoir, wanting to refuse and still welcome...

"This meat is washed with rice water, then throw it into the water and boil it for an incense stick, then steam it, and finally slice it... It's a good dish to put wine, and it's even more... I won't talk about it anymore. Go home and experience it slowly. If you want to eat it, remember to turn around..."

Zhang Banian frowned and left the Shen family, got on his horse, and headed all the way to the palace.

He has excellent riding skills and controls the reins with one hand without any pressure.

After entering the Imperial City Department, he realized that he was carrying the three pieces of bacon.

He frowned slightly and wanted to throw away the bacon, but in the end he ordered: "Get half of it and do what Chen An said."

Half an hour later, all Chen Zhong's confession came out and the bacon came.

I picked up a piece of the chopped bacon casually and looked at it in the air and found that it had a translucent taste.

A fragrance lingers on the nose, and Zhang Banian ate a piece.

fragrant.

The smoked scent was first whipped in the mouth, then chewed, and the grease came out.

The oil has the aroma of fat and the smoked taste is mixed together...

Zhang Banian looked up with a surprised look in his eyes and ordered: "Come a pot of wine."

This bacon made him refuse to eat it alone, either serving food or having to have wine.

I took the confession in one hand and looked carefully, and drank with meat in the other hand. After analyzing the confession, the meat was gone and the wine was gone...

praise!

After having a meal of bacon, Zhang Banian went to see Zhao Zhen with a confession.

Walking along the palace, no one dared to look at him and the eunuchs and palace maids, and they all lowered their heads, as if there were floods and beasts coming ahead.

Zhang Banian looked ahead coldly until Chen Zhongheng appeared.

“There is something important.”

Zhang Ba Nian had no friendship with these eunuchs in the palace, and it was impossible to have friendship.

Chen Zhongheng also said coldly: "The official family just had lunch. Tell me quickly, the official family will take a nap later."

Zhang Banian went into the hall and said, "I can't take this nap."

Zhao Zhen was already a little dissatisfied and asked when he saw him come in, "But have you found it?"

Zhang Banian said: "Someone caught Chen Zhong and sent him to the Shen family. Chen just went to get someone back for interrogation, and the result was already obtained."

Zhao Zhen's sleepiness disappeared suddenly, "Tell me, I'll listen."

"Chen Zhong and Shen An have been worried about the conflict. After the Mangshan Army set off, someone from the Privy Council secretly informed Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong asked someone to meet the Liao people in private and informed the Mangshan Army of the Liao territory... A few days ago, he asked him to go to the Liao people to ask about the news, but was witnessed by a ruffian... Chen Zhong fled and was caught in Xinxiang."

Zhao Zhen said in disgust: "Call the prime ministers and discuss the matters of disposal."

The prime ministers came later, and after receiving the news, they unanimously demanded that Chen Zhong be executed.

"... Chen Zhong's family should be exiled to Qiongzhou. If this is not the case, we cannot warn future generations!"

Han Qi's heart was filled with anger. If Chen Zhong was right in front of him, he would definitely have to be full of old fists.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Zhao Zhen said with satisfaction: "Okay, if you do this, Chen Zhong will be executed!"

When the order was issued, someone naturally went to execute it. Zhao Zhen sighed: "Before Chen Zhong fled, everyone was helpless, but Shen An only offered a reward of 10,000 yuan. It was only a few days before this person was sent. It can be seen that the wealth is moving, making people wonder whether to be happy or sad."

Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, the education of the people should be like spring breeze and rain, not a night of success. Besides... I am so frank about me, I am also moved by ten thousand coins..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The king and his ministers laughed, and finally Ouyang Xiu said, "But we are not as rich as Shen An!"

Han Qi said with a bitter face: "Whoever makes enemies with him in the future will have to be careful of his reward."

Zeng Gongliang also felt a little numb: "Shen An is rich. If he is used to offering rewards, Your Majesty, I am afraid everyone will be in danger!"

Zhao Zhen imagined that Shen An was holding a huge sum of money and arrogantly used money to smash people...

But it was just an illusion.

He smiled and said, "If he is willing to let it go, how about I get this reward?"

The prime ministers all laughed, but they were in a bad mood.

After coming out, Han Qi sighed and said, "I'm thinking, if those rich merchants are willing to give up money, will the world be in chaos?"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said, "Shen An dared to kill him because Chen Zhong intercepted him in front. If the merchant dared... it would be seeking death!"

...

Chen Zhong was previously thrown by the people from the Imperial City Department and pulled him back in a cart, so there were many people who saw him.

Later, news of Chen Zhong's execution spread throughout Bianliang City.

Interested in foreign countries...

"It's said it's about being a foreign country."

In the private room of a restaurant, more than ten people sat around, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

The old man in the head smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Zhong is not in a close relationship, but he failed. It would be fine if he failed. He actually intercepted Chen An. Who did that idiot have? He was still self-righteous, but the people sent were all idiots and didn't even touch Chen An's fur."

Someone said in the next chapter: "Then Chen An... everyone, ten thousand coins! How long has Chen Zhong been out? He was actually brought back. Everyone, what if he secretly offers a reward for our lives next time... what should he do?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and the old man said disdainfully: "Doesn't there be any good players in our family? If you get angry, you'll be angry, afraid that he won't succeed?"

"Yes! Who would be afraid of him?"

"But he has money!"

“So what if you have money?”

"He just has money."

“…”

Everyone was speechless, and the old man said helplessly: "A group of people was stumped by a young man who only knew how to call for money. He just had money and would use money if he was not satisfied."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling extremely helpless.

Yes! He is just rich!

If you feel uncomfortable, you will spend money. Who can compare with him?
