If Daming Tower is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries from Jiankang City flock to, then Wen Tower and Taiping Tower are the places where ordinary people like to join in the fun. On weekdays, these two places are bustling, hot, and even busy with traffic.
Prince Fu Hong of Qin and his entourage were about to go to Zhaowenguan Post in Anyefang in the north of the city. As soon as they passed Wenlou, they attracted everyone's attention. Judging from this magnificence, they must be rich and powerful, so they should not be underestimated.
When the officers of the Zhaowen Hall saw it, they hurriedly bowed and said: "Everyone, please!"
The officer responsible for guiding the way asked calmly, "Why is it so lively today?"
The steward said: "Isn't it true that the great general Shangyong of the Northern Conquest defeated Yan Lord Murong Chong's 40,000 cavalry? The people in the whole city are celebrating!"
Fu Hong was stunned for a moment and immediately came to his senses. He followed the escort who led the way into the Zhaowen Hall. Also accompanying him was the Fu Qin clan. The rest were arranged in other pavilions and post offices in the city. There was nothing they could do. The Qin clan had a large number of people. It is really difficult to accommodate a hotel alone.
"Your Majesty, please!" The officer was shocked when he learned Fu Hong's identity. After he came to his senses, he became even more careful in serving him.
"Why is this government-run post so lonely?" Fu Hong asked curiously after entering the upper room.
When talking about the reason for this, the officer kept talking: "Originally, the affairs of entertaining foreign guests were indeed the responsibility of our Zhaowen Guan, but recently people who come to Beijing like to go to Daming Tower for entertainment, so the Guan Post has become deserted."
Fu Hong nodded lightly, left the Crown Princess and his two children and went out of the room alone. Through the window in the corridor, he saw a high-rise building in the distance: "Is that the Daming Building?"
The officer took the official document, turned his head and shook his head again: "The prince has good eyesight! That is the Wen Tower in the third building in the capital. As for the Daming Tower, I am not exaggerating! The Daming Tower is grand in scale and elegant in style. It’s not something that can be compared with others!”
"Oh? How do you say it?" Fu Hong was a little embarrassed at first when he heard that he had guessed wrong, but seeing the officer's interest in talking about it piqued his interest.
The officer spoke eloquently: "The owner of the Daming Tower is General Zhengbei. Among the members are Xie Zhongshu and Nanjun Gong... The Daming Tower is a unique and elegant place in Jiankang City. People who come in and out of the Daming Tower are either noble officials or important officials of the imperial court... "
"No wonder it is so exquisite and meticulous, and has extraordinary momentum. It turned out to be the hand of the general. It is not surprising!" Fu Hong naturally knew three things about Xu Zongwen.
In Fu Hong's eyes, Xu Zongwen was good at fighting, had a military arsenal in his chest, had fantastic ideas, and was broad-minded, so it was easy to build a Ming Dynasty Tower.
"We are a little tired after traveling all the way. Please prepare some food and bath in the hotel so that I won't be rude when I meet the emperor."
"That's natural, that's natural. These are all trivial matters. Please wait a moment, Prince. I will prepare now!"
Watching the hurriedly leaving figures of the guards disappear at the end of the corridor, Fu Hong also returned to the house.
Inside the Jiankang Yamen Office, Liu Zhi, the Northern Lieutenant, was sorting out files. A clerk came from outside the office to tell him that Jiankang ordered Wang Fu to see him.
Liu Zhi did not doubt that he was there. When he lowered his head, he accidentally glanced at the documents that had been compiled and thought that the case of Qin Guoxiu's assassination of Prince Chenliu had not been concluded a few days ago. The prince must have been summoned at this time, so he did not hesitate. Without hesitation, he took the files and went with the officials to see Wang Fu.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the Lord!"
"Liu Lieutenant, there is no need to be polite. I wonder if there is any progress in Wenlou's assassination case?"
As soon as Jiankang ordered Wang Fu to finish his words, Liu Zhi's heart suddenly moved. This was indeed what he thought!
Immediately, Liu Zhi handed over the case file: "After many investigations and compilation of Ge Youyou's secret reports, my subordinates have now found out that the person who assassinated Prince Chenliu was the work of Qin's Yingquansi, and he belonged to the Qin Dynasty. I also learned that the general was also assassinated by the Eagle Dog Division, so I thought there must be some connection between the two assassinations, so I..."
As soon as he heard this, Jiankang Ling Wang Fu turned pale in an instant, his eyes were dull and cold, his mouth was squirming unconsciously, his body was motionless at first as if he had been struck by lightning, and then he started to tremble. After a while, he fell down on the main seat because he couldn't support his fat body.
This Yingquan Si was too bold. Not only did he assassinate Prince Chenliu, he also assassinated General Xu Xiao!
"Once you discover the details of the Eagle and Dog Division, there is no need to report it. Take it down immediately and deal with it as soon as possible!" Wang Fu knew that this matter was of great importance and repeatedly told Liu Zhi not to slack off!
Liu Zhi took the file back from Wang Fu and arched his head towards Wang Fu: "My subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on the city. Once there are any clues about what the Eagle and Dog Division has done, we will take action immediately!"
"Okay, okay!"
Wang Fu nodded and did not take Liu Zhi's guarantee to heart. He just thought that he was too confident and that the few officers from the Jiankang Yamen Office were sent out too thinly. The Eagle and Dog Department's meticulous work was not only good at hiding, but also each Their martial arts skills are so great that Beibu Lieutenant's officers may not be able to deal with them!
Little did he know that Liu Zhi had already realized this, so Liu Zhi used his connections to find the Linhe County Duke's Mansion, and under the recommendation of Huan Xianrong, he met Zhang Songzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. Liu Zhi revealed the secrets one by one. Zhang Songzhi mobilized a group of forbidden troops out of the palace in the name of assisting defense to provide support at any time.
Helv Gate, Yongtai Square, southwest of Jiankang.
A man wearing a Gebu scarf and Tsing Yi led the purchased food away from the main street and headed towards Chicken and Duck Lane. This man was seven feet long and extremely thin, but there was wind under his feet and he walked very fast!
On the opposite road, the warden Chen Si led an old hen back. It was already past midnight. After returning from work, Chen Si went to Jiankangdong City to buy an old hen and planned to go home to give it to his newlyweds. The pregnant newlywed wife needs a supplement.
If I can give birth to a big fat boy, I, Chen Si, will have a wife, and I, Chen, will be able to live up to my ancestors...
Speaking of which, this marriage was thanks to Xu Zongwen. When he first arrived in Jiankang City, Xu Zongwen had a quarrel with Xun Chong and had a fight. Later, he was arrested by Jiankang Order Wang Fu and sent to prison. There, Xu Zongwen not only met the Celestial Master Du Zigong, He also gave some favors to Chen Si, who was just a jailer at the time.
Chen Si took the two valuable orbs given by Xu Zongwen to buy a house, moved from outside the city to Jiya Lane, and got married. Until now, he has become the undisputed warden of Jiankang Prison, and he also married An Yefang Ge Youyou and Beibu Wei Liu Zhi fought fiercely and became brothers.
"I pray that the General's Northern Expedition will be a great success, that he will be promoted to a higher rank, and that his blessings will continue. I also hope that my wife will give the General an heir, so that the title of Linhe County Duke can be passed down from generation to generation!" Chen Si carried the old hen and watched. He was about to leave the main street, but an extremely subtle movement from the man in green in front accidentally caught his eye!
Before the man in Tsing Yi turned into an alley, he kept his hand on the wall of the alley for a breath or two. It was just a blink of an eye. There was nothing else, but there were a few more strokes on the wall.
Chen Si got closer and saw that it looked like a special symbol! But what exactly it means is unclear!
It seems that the man in green is not simple!
"Where's the man?" Chen Si followed, but the man in Tsing Yi disappeared as soon as he entered Chicken Duck Alley.
"No!" Without saying a word, Chen Si threw the old hen in his hand to the old aunt selling vegetables. He looked for a paper shop across the street, rushed in, took out a gong from behind the door and started banging on the street.
"There is a thief! There is a thief!" Chen Si ran out of the store and stood on the street shouting loudly, while the old aunt selling vegetables on the side hurriedly put away the old hens. Chen Si passed every day from now on. He knew that Chen Si was in the government office. While doing work, I saw Chen Si shouting to catch the thief again, so I could only take care of him temporarily.
"Chen Dian Prison, what happened?" Soon, the alerted patrol officers rushed over.
Chen Si pointed anxiously at the Chicken and Duck Alley: "If there is a secret operation, please notify people to come over quickly and we must capture them!"
The officers did not doubt Chen Si's words at all, and someone immediately went to move reinforcements.
Not long after, the majestic Forbidden Army team, riding tall horses and wearing fine armor, surrounded Chicken and Duck Alley and several adjacent streets.
"Search for me!" Under the guidance of Chen Si, the leader of the Forbidden Army commanded his troops step by step and began the first round of search...
