Not as prosperous as Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. Although this business is not a serious term, it at least means that their business volume is not large.
Just as the two were eating and chatting, preparing to spend another day like this, they saw an Oshi walking quickly with a strange expression.
After entering the house, he saluted the two Shangguan. "Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan said that he has official business and wants to discuss it with the person in charge of my Imperial City Department."
Yang Douzhi, who had drunk so much that his face looked like a monkey's ass, and Zhao Superintendent looked at the superintendent in confusion.
Yang Douzhi reached out his fingers to pick out his ears in disbelief and asked subconsciously.
"Who did you say is coming?"
"That's Gao Zhang, the prodigy of today's world."
"My mother, why is he here..."
Yang Douzhi jumped up and rushed out of the house. Zhao Abban also threw away his chopsticks and rushed out for two steps. He turned around and ordered his subordinates to quickly clear away the food and drinks before continuing to run away. .
In a short time, Gao Zhang saw a eunuch running towards him with his coat in front.
Before the person even got close, his face was already filled with a flattering smile.
"Oh... Yang Guang, our internal servant and the provincial governor, met with the Number One Scholar. I didn't expect that the Number One Scholar would actually come to our small yamen..."
"It turns out to be Governor Yang..." Gao Zhang was about to salute, but Yang Guang had already saluted him in advance.
Then he came closer and whispered.
"Our godfather is Yang Jian, who is close to the official family, so if the number one scholar is of any use to our family, he can just give him orders."
"..." Gao Zhang looked at Yang Guang, who must be in his early thirties. Thinking about it, Yang Jian was probably as old as forty-five or six.
Well, this is just a kiss. Besides, even if it is a kiss, it has nothing to do with me.
"I see, that's great. I'm here because I have something urgent to do and I need to trouble the Imperial City Division..."
Zhao Abban, who came in a hurry, burped from wine and smiled with a low eyebrow.
"If so, it would be an honor for our Imperial City Department to be able to serve the Zhuang Yuan Gong."
Fu'an and Na Lu Qian looked at the two Imperial City bosses with sly expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to kneel on the ground and lick their shoes after seeing their young master.
He raised his head again and looked at the gloomy plaque of the Imperial City Siguan Yamen. He felt that there was a strong sense of disobedience.
The notorious Chief of the Imperial City Department actually talked and laughed with his son here, and seemed to have a very happy conversation. If this spread, it would definitely damage his reputation.
Fu'an couldn't help but glance at Lu Qian beside him. Lu Qian felt the pressure from Fu'an's gaze and quickly responded with his eyes.
This means that Lu is also a person with a bottom line, or in other words, with his own courage, he does not dare to reveal a word.

"Since you two are so happy, I won't be polite. In fact, my request is very simple..."
"I hope you can send your most capable men to go here, which is the post house where the Liao envoys will stay..."
Yang Dusi and Zhao Abban stared at the whimsical champion, but that was not the end.
Gao Zhang wrote the name of a Gou Column on that piece of paper again.
"In addition, there is this Gou Lan. I need you to put a lot of manpower in this Gou Lan..."
"In short, I need this capable spy from the Imperial City Department to record everything they heard and saw and compile it into a book..."
At this moment, only Gao Zhang, Yang Dusi and Zhao Aban were left in the room.
These two leaders of the Song Dynasty's secret service were completely confused by Gao Zhang's outrageous behavior.
Although the Imperial City Division had spies placed in many agencies and yamen of the imperial court, there were at most two or three problems per yamen.
But now, listening to what the champion said, he wished that even the handymen who cleaned the sewers in the post house that received the Liao envoys would be replaced by spies from the Imperial City Department.
As for a place like Goulan, the spies from the Imperial City were actually allowed to do odd jobs there.
Well, after all, most of the Imperial City's spies are big men. If you go to a place like that, if you don't do odd jobs, how can you still do the business of picking up guests?
But the problem is that the official's handwriting that Gao Zhang just revealed was made clear to these two people.
Regardless of whether the two of them were willing to do so, they had to listen to the orders of the popular man in front of the official, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, or not.
"In addition, I also need some people to dress up as Xixia people, preferably able to speak authentic Xixia Mandarin..."
"Also, I need the Imperial City Secretary to spread the rumor to me that the Xixia people have secretly formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Song Dynasty a few days before the Liao envoys arrive in Bianliang, Tokyo..."
"That No. 1 Scholar, is this news too false?"
"Haha, so what if it's fake? Regardless of whether it's true or not, as long as you can let this rumor spread, it's best if it reaches the ears of the Liao envoys.
Even if it spreads to the ears of Liao traders in Bianliang, Tokyo, it is a great achievement..."
#####
Gao Zhang stayed here until dusk, and then he left this notorious Imperial City with the respectful farewell of Yang Douzhi and the Zhao adban.
Watching the eleven-year-old champion get on the carriage, and then drift away surrounded by a group of Gao family members.
Zhao Yaban couldn't help but whispered to Yang Douzhi beside him.
"Everyone knows that this matter is very important. Although the number one scholar has an official decree, our Imperial City Department is not an ordinary yamen..."
"How can our family not understand what you are talking about?" Yang Douzhi took a breath with toothache.
"If the No. 1 Scholar asked us to do something more serious, we would quietly arrange it for him. But do you think what kind of things he wants us to do today?"
"Then according to Dou Zhi's opinion, what should be done next?" Zhao Abban also had a look of pain on his face.
It requires so many manpower, and if something goes wrong, the two of them cannot afford it.
"It can still be like this. Just wait here. Our family will enter the palace now to meet my godfather..."
Yang Douzhi glanced at the sky and sighed helplessly. At this time, only his godfather could show him a clear path.
Before, his godfather had told him that all news about this prodigy champion would be delivered to the palace.
He also ordered the Imperial City Secretary not to offend the No. 1 Scholar who was very popular with the officials.
But now, the No. 1 Scholar actually uses the notorious Imperial City Department as an ordinary government office. Isn't this a bit too much?
I can't make up my mind without finding my godfather, and I feel really uneasy...
Half an hour later, after Yang Jian heard the report from his godson Yang Guang, he was stunned for a long time and was speechless.
PS: I will officially meet with the Liao envoy tomorrow. The preparations are over.
