When Zhang Xing followed Xiao Zhao to Water Street, the sky was already dim. On both sides of the Luo River, more than a hundred markets were almost knocking on the copper bowls on Jingjie. The sound was clattering, one after another, and the distance was continuous, which was quite charming.

Of course, Jingjie Tongbo stopped Jingjie Hu in uniform. Zhang Xing followed Xiao Zhao's captain calmly to the wine shop against the crowd. At this time, the wine flag outside the wine shop had left and the wooden ladder had been collected. Xiao Zhao shouted, and then the wooden ladder was lowered.

As soon as he came in, the wooden ladder behind him was taken away by Xiao Zhao and a servant.

Zhang Xing's eyes turned and saw that the lower floor of the wine shop was empty, with only a few maids, and the servants were sitting casually, but his heart moved slightly and he became cautious.

"Why are you so careful?" Zhang Xing didn't delay Zhang Xing's knife and asked Xiao Zhao behind him. "If I expected it, the time to discuss real big business after cleaning the streets is right, why did you close the door?"

"Isn't it the news you brought?" Xiao Zhao, who had just pulled up the ladder, looked dissatisfied. "I knew that the front line was defeated by Dongyi, and the saint kept silent about Yang Ni's case. The court gradually became turbulent. The banner owner had discussed privately with his sister-in-law since noon and continued until the afternoon. As soon as he came out, he gave instructions. In the future, not only did he not do big business at night, but he even did not open the door on the water street during the day, saying that he had to be prepared, but he didn't know what to be prepared for?"

Zhang Xing nodded slowly, which was understandable.

As a capital city, don’t tell about the big political tide or military turmoil. As long as the atmosphere becomes tense, any extravagant person can handle the general flag. Even if there is no extravagant person’s attention, I think that Feng General Qi, nicknamed the sugar-wrapped iron hand, usually manages four parties and does such an intermediary business. He makes money every day and offends many people from all walks of life.

It is also common for several colleagues to have some selfish desires or have secretly unfair laws.

Retracting it in time will be wise.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao actually went to tease the maid named Xiaoyu again and left Zhang Xing aside. However, before waiting for a long time, Mr. Feng flashed out from the upper floor and shouted directly:

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhang, you two come up, I have a verbal explanation."

The two of them did not dare to neglect and went upstairs again. This time they did not enter the big room, but turned to a small room in a corner. After entering the room, the door was closed. Of course, there were no wine glasses, and several swords and axes jumped out. Instead, a few light wine and dishes were arranged. There were two small silver ingots and a large string of copper coins on the table, and there was also an embroidered mouth-tight bag next to it.

When the two of them sat with Mr. Feng, the latter pointed directly and was extremely shocked: "The money is not much, and it has been a two-month period. I heard that you like reading books. I personally gave you the money for buying books. I specially asked your sister-in-law to exchange for silver, which is both zero and complete, which is convenient for use."

Zhang Xing's generous gift from a female inspector was not the case when he was eating steamed buns on the road that day, but at this time he had no reason not to accept it. Not only did he take it, but he also wanted to accept it happily.

In fact, he just stood up and bowed, thanked him, and put the money directly into the bag, tied it into the hole, and threw it into the empty space where the knife was placed.

Mr. Feng narrowed his eyes, nodded, and pointed to the table again: "Drink two drinks."

Although he had just finished drinking at noon, Zhang Xing still did not refuse. He came up and bowed to him, and then drank it all in one go, which led to Xiao Zhao's imitation.

In this way, the three of them sat in a group, drank three or five cups, and ate half a plate of dishes. Mr. Feng suddenly put down the cup and sighed.

Zhang Xingqing, who had been prepared for a long time, came to the meat show and stopped talking.

But Xiao Zhao hurriedly asked, not knowing whether it was stupid or asking: "Okay, why did you sigh?"

"I'm still worried about the situation." Feng General Qi shook his head repeatedly.

"What's there to worry about?" Xiao Zhao still disagreed. "The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been together in Shendu for more than ten years and are becoming increasingly developed. Now they are even more official figures of the seventh rank. What are you afraid of?"

"It's not like this." Mr. Feng, who seemed to be slightly drunk, leaned on the chair, pinched his beard, and shook his head repeatedly. "I, Feng Yong, are called Yong, and I am actually a mediocre person...

"From a gangster in the market, he relied on the capital given by your sister-in-law to start a sugar trading business. For this reason, she has been grateful to her for the rest of her life. Later, she has gained some influence in the market, and then relied on the great opportunity to move the capital that day to successfully donate officials. Later, she became a general banner. If she really said that she had something, she would be a little self-aware...

"Xiao Zhao, you are still young and don't know what the emperor is like slapping a million corpses in anger. I don't know how big the storm is this time. One Yang Ni failed to rebel, causing most of the Central Plains; the other two defeated the Dongyi, and hundreds of thousands of troops fled, all of which were like the sky and the earth split... I don't understand the specific situation, but I have experienced the last defeat of the Dongyi, and the other one being killed in the rebellion of the Shangzhu Kingdom... This time, two were added to one piece, could it be less? I'm afraid it would be possible to double or double again!"

"The chief flag thought it would be so big?" Zhang Xing suddenly interrupted the other party's statement.

"You are so good-looking that you are eating a banquet and singing at home, and suddenly you are pulled to the point of being cut by the vegetable market." Feng Zongqi, also known as Feng Yong, seemed to be relieved when he saw Zhang Xing speak. "It's like killing white goose in the Tianzhuan of the East Town Fushi. The key to this incident is that even the Prime Minister and Shangzhu Kingdom will not be spared. We will leave the fate even if we wait for the people below."

Xiao Zhao was shocked when he heard it.

Zhang Xing didn't say anything anymore, but poured himself a glass of wine and drank it himself... No, he believed Feng Yong's words at this moment than anyone else, because at this moment, he thought of the deserters who were accidentally injured when Kaishanjun went to stop the pursuers of Dongyi; he thought of the red clay mound in Du Meng's hometown.

Zhang Xing was rarely in a daze, and Xiao Zhao was also stunned, but Mr. Feng was not guilty of any blame. He just waited quietly for the two of them to come back to their senses before continuing to speak:

"I'm all my brothers, and I don't hide it from you. This is the situation, but even if you want to retract, it's not that simple. Many things need to be handled cleanly."

Zhang Xing had expected it, but he just said nothing.

Xiao Zhao patted his chest directly: "Brother says something if you have something to do, and give orders if you have something to do."

Since Xiao Zhao said so, Zhang Xing could only speak: "The banner owner has something to do, so we should do it for him, but for some reason they are the youngest of us? What is the statement?"

"Yes, there's a reason I'm asking you two to come here specifically." Feng Yong looked at Zhang Xing again, then glanced over Xiao Zhao's face, and his tone was frank. "I just want to borrow your face to do something that offends people... Do you know the Qingyu Gang in Shangshanfang?"

How could I know? Zhang Xing was speechless.

"I know." Xiao Zhao, who had already drunk a red face, blurted out. "Boss Sun's help... was the way of a father-in-law in the North Yai in the palace. The big business is said to be on copper and wood, and the remaining materials that were lost in the palace."

"Not bad." Feng Yong nodded. "But this is the foundation of the Qingyu Gang, and we can't control it. A gang that dominates such a big house is definitely not just these big businesses, including small river smuggling, secret prostitutes, restaurants, martial arts halls, casinos, daily shops, and money... Can these messy things be missing? But under my rule."

"The banner owner means..." Zhang Xing woke up a little. "Want to let them stop for the time being?"

"Not bad." Feng Yong pointed at the other party with chopsticks. "Xiao Zhang likes to study. It's the point... After all, what's the matter with those big businesses in the river? My key is my official identity, and these four yards are my direct jurisdiction. If they become stricter in the future, they will inevitably be my flaw... So not only the Qingyu Gang, but the Qingyu Gang is the biggest and the most important one, because Shangshanfang is next to Tianjie and facing the palace gate from afar, which is the most troublesome, and the other three yards are also inseparable from fragments... I just want them to collect it for the time being and don't cause trouble for me."

This is reasonable.

but……

"I don't understand some things very well." Zhang Xing replied seriously. "It is natural for officers and soldiers to catch the thieves... Since the banner owner wants them to stop, he will drive the carriage and horses and make a clear order. We should also do our own orders. Why should we tell us privately? He also said that we should use our face to do things?"

"Because other familiar faces have long been pinching together with these gangs and hooligans. You have me and I have you." Feng Yong put down his chopsticks and twisted his beards and smiled bitterly. "Do you believe it or not, I said to other brothers that I will only think that I am noisy and disturb them to get rich. If things go to the end, they don't have the knowledge..."

Upon hearing this, Captain Xiao Zhao obviously touched his nose.

"It's hard to make it clear. They went to talk to those people again, and they probably started drinking as they talked, and then collected the money and went home to sleep. No one took it seriously." Feng Yong continued. "Anyway, I want to go past them and clean up the matter directly."

"I understand." Xiao Zhao's "Captain" finally woke up after hearing this. "Brother means to use our faces to go out and be a black face and establish a prestige... And these businesses are mixed with their own brothers, so it is said that they are offensive jobs?"

"Yes, my original intention is that Xiao Zhang was climbed out of the dead and dared to take action. Although Xiao Zhao was a little arrogant, he knew that it was my ladder and his fellows. You two came forward and led people to sweep the scattered business of the other three yards. It should be caught, beaten, and lifted the stalls. After sweeping the three yards, the mighty style stood up, so that Sun Weigua from the Qingyu Gang knew my determination, so I could come forward and talk to him seriously." Feng Yong finally made a request. "But don't worry, you will never let you be evil people in vain... If you agree, I will give you twenty coins of hard-working money each when you leave today, and if you do it properly, you will give you twenty coins each after you finish it."

I have experienced several life and deaths. I don’t care if I offend people or not people. I don’t care about Zhang Xing…or if Feng Yong thought he was climbed out of the dead and didn’t care about these things, he came to him… But by the same token, Zhang Xing didn’t care much about money at this time.

If you want to come and catch him, it would be better than a more effective sentence for inspector Bai, "I will use my book to read it in the future."

So this matter is reasonable for Feng Zongqi, and is dispensable for Zhang Xing.

But how to say it?

It is precisely because it is reasonable and unnecessary, so it is probably difficult to refuse the boss's attitude that he has done so well.

Just as Zhang Xing was thinking randomly, Xiao Zhao could not bear it and spoke first, but said amazingly: "Brother... I don't want these forty strings. I can give you ten strings of wealth. I will only let Xiaoyu obey me... how about it?"

Feng Yong was slightly stunned: "I thought you were just bored and teasing her...but did you really like her?"

"I really like it. I want to ask my sister-in-law to release her slave family at that time." Xiao Zhao's face turned red and she lowered her voice at the same time.

"Xiao Zhao." Feng President Qi did not nodded when he saw this, but shook his head slightly. "I'll ask you again, do you know how much money is for Forty Guanwen? Although the money here in Dongdu is getting less and less valuable, it is still considered a half-capital capital to make up for it. Even if you can't afford it, you can't buy a house or a shop, and you can't find a shop and buy a business, it's also appropriate. But you want to change a maid? Have you thought about it?"

"I've made up my mind." Xiao Zhao turned around and looked at the closed door. His voice became deeper and his face turned redder. "As long as my brother promised Xiaoyu, I would be willing to go there for my brother..."

"You didn't let you go to the sea of ​​swords and fires. You were equipped with all your staff. You just wanted to offend your colleagues and some people on the scene." Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xing, who had been silent and said angrily to Xiao Zhao. "And what if you say this, what should I do if Xiao Zhang does?"

Xiao Zhao hurried to come to see Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing was speechless, but he had to ask General Feng for an accurate statement for this Zhao 'Captain': "In this way, has the banner owner already promised Captain Zhao?"

"That's natural." Feng Yong smiled with his beard twisted.

Xiao Zhao was immediately overjoyed, and Zhang Xing could not think of any reason to be a villain, so he nodded after thinking for a moment.

In this way, the matter was settled and the banquet ended. Xiao Zhao went to hang out with Xiao Yu again. The wife of Feng Zongqi came over and gave Zhang Xing a bag of silver... Not much, thirteen taels... There is no way. The market price of silver exchanged for copper coins these days is much higher than the official price, but it is said that these days have risen faster. The 20 taels of the New Year can be exchanged for fifteen or sixteen taels, but in a blink of an eye it is only worth thirteen taels.

Zhang Xing hung his bag around his waist, stuffed the silver bag into his arms and wrapped it tightly, said hello, and asked someone to help him put the ladder and returned to Xiuyefang from the water street.

By this time, it was already twilight outside, and even the water streets were much quieter. I think that except for a few designated night markets, the streets had already been cleaned, but it didn't matter. Zhang Xing was dressed as a clean street tiger, and no one was afraid. He just walked with a lantern and walked back to the gate of Xiuyefangfang, and then called out to the Fangguan Lie Brother Liu.

Master Liu didn't dare to open the door, so he even put down a ladder and let Zhang Xing climb over.

Zhang Xing carried the lantern, climbed the stairs with one hand, and came to the wall, hung the lanterns, borrowed the head of Liu Fangzhu, and then flipped it up. Then he waited until the other party put the stairs down, and then he went to his yard with the lanterns. Brother Liu was obviously very considerate. He probably saw Zhang Xing drinking, and then sent him a few steps, and stopped until he reached the gate of the yard.

But at this moment, Zhang Xing, who came to the front of the yard, did not open the door, but turned around and stared at Master Liu Fang who was right behind him.

Master Liu was stared at and was stunned for a moment. He laughed and said with a long time: "Is Master Zhang so angry? Do you want me to unlock the lock for you?"

"no."

Zhang Xing waited until the other party spoke, smiling. "I suddenly woke up and remembered some things... Does the owner recognize us, Mr. Feng?"

"When this is said, General Feng is in charge of these four yards. Although one belongs to Jing'antai and the other belongs to Henan County, it is stacked, so how can you not recognize it?" Liu Fangzhu was speechless immediately.

"No wonder." Zhang Xing laughed and said, "I just said that my two friends have never entered my yard, nor have I mentioned it. But Mr. Feng came up and knew that I like reading..."

Brother Liu was immediately embarrassed, but he was still holding on: "Why did Master Zhang break up this kind of thing that everyone knows? Your chief banner has not wavered in these four chambers for more than ten years. He is a capable person in charge. In the eyes of us, the officials who are directly next to each other, he arranged the person to me and asked Master Wang and others to ask him casually. Can I not answer? Besides, what is it like to say you love reading? You are justified in your own right! Besides, after you go to drink this wine today, no one will come to ask me what you are doing at home in the future. Why not stop here!"

"I don't mean to blame my brother." Zhang Xing shook his head and smiled again. "I've drunk too much, my mind is getting rushing, don't care."

Master Liu quickly bowed, then lifted the lantern and turned around.

Zhang Xing immediately took the key and opened the door swayingly.

In other words, when the two of them walked out a few steps and the other had already pushed open the door, Zhang Xing suddenly turned around on the threshold and asked again: "Talk about it, how many years have you been the owner of the shop?"

"Twelve years." Master Liu Fang, who was carrying a lantern, turned around and looked at each other.

Zhang Xing nodded, staggered into the door, and closed the door without tidying up the lanterns outside the door, and then leaned against the door and took a deep breath. But he quickly woke up again, and quickly staggered and fell onto the chair in the yard. Then he narrowed his eyes and held his head, looking at the stars in the sky as if he was thinking.

It turned out that Zhang Xing stopped in front of the door just now, and he wanted to ask the other party about the gray business distribution in the Xiuye ​​Shop. It was to inquire about information and also to remind the owner of the shop to take care of him... As a result, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt excited and thought that the two of them were shaking hands on the wall, and the calluses in each other's hands were very similar to those in his hands. Then he became afraid for a moment, so he lost his composure after drinking and exposed his flaws on the spot. Finally, he waited for a long time before using something that was already in the question, or that both parties knew it to cover up and fooled it.

Of course, he hummed for a while on the chair in the yard, and listened to the steps away from the wall, but Zhang Xing felt that he had made a big fuss.

After all, let alone the fact that Liu Fangzhu was probably just a soldier and martial artsman in his early years, even if there are stories or even some attempts, it has nothing to do with him.

I'm afraid of a ghost!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xing was drunk and didn't even do routine meditation and chongmei. He snored slightly in the yard and fell asleep.

The sound of snoring was smooth, and Master Liu, who should have left outside the wall, left silently.
