"good."

Jiang Tian said without hesitation: After all, I went to have a drink with Kodakya, but I didn't sleep all night long because of all the work. Then he couldn't rest even if he took a nap in the carriage, and wandered in another time and space for more than half a month; he was really tired both mentally and physically, and he didn't want to worry about anything anymore.

However, a moment later, Jiang Tian, ​​who had already taken a detour, suddenly realized that he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came to him. The sounds of chasing, shouting and fighting in the streets ahead were getting closer again. Then, he saw a group of Wuhou and bad guys running in the street.

And diagonally above them, who were holding chains, iron whips, spears and scratching hooks, shouting and yelling endlessly, an agile human figure, like an antelope active on the rock wall, kept leaping and running on the street. Between the edge of the wall and the tile roof and eaves of the house;

And behind this human figure, there are also several people who are chasing and chasing each other, but they are arresters wearing indigo blue uniforms; but their skills are obviously slightly inferior; although they are always silent and tight He refused to let go; but in order to catch up, he was gradually pulled away;

But fortunately, they always pointed the way to those Wuhou and bad people who kept shouting in the street. Therefore, under the pressure and intimidation of these Wuhou in soap clothes and bad guys in gray clothes, who were constantly encircling and surrounding him, the person being chased was never able to escape successfully.

And this scene also attracted the people who got up early to make a living along the way, setting up stalls against the walls and bottoms of the squares, selling cakes, and the customers who were having fun; they knocked over household items one after another in a hurry, and the hot soup cakes and Amidst the commotion of the mud and water being sprinkled with dirt, there were shouts and curses one after another;

Then in the blink of an eye, the chased person, who had just missed him, suddenly turned around on the square wall, jumped into the air for more than ten steps, and landed on the roof of Jiang Tian's carriage in the middle of the street with a crash. Then with a clang of force, he jumped up to the wall at the other end.

However, the moment he jumped out, he suddenly waved his hand and threw an unknown small object into the carriage in full view of everyone. Jiang Tian, ​​who didn't want to cause trouble at all, immediately yelled "Wocao" and blocked the thing from flying away.

However, those Wuhou and bad guys who were chasing him on the street had already separated some without hesitation and took advantage of the situation to surround the carriage. Then, someone picked up the object, but it was just a stone wrapped in cloth. Immediately, his face became stern, he walked towards the carriage and wanted to shout:

However, the next moment, Guo Feng involuntarily took out a personal badge, causing the visitor's expression to change drastically. He suddenly changed his face like a magic trick and said respectfully:

"It turns out that Shangxian, the rectifier, is here. Zhang Zuomu, the villain and bad guy, is now ordered to catch the thief. It's quite disturbing."

"But what kind of thief deserves to be so brave?"

Guo Feng appropriately asked:

"Going back to Shangxian, he is a wanted thief who has been wanted for many years. The bandit name disappeared quickly and was implicated in many thefts of wealthy families and officials in the capital. Now it is not easy to devise a plan, catch some people, and disturb some people. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Zhang Zuomu quickly replied:

Afterwards, Guo Feng took the initiative to explain to the car:

"Those Wu Hous in the market are just that; but these bad guys are not kind people. If it weren't for the fact that the official body was just over the head, I'm afraid ordinary people would have been bitten, and they would have to lose face and money before they could escape."

"I naturally saved it."

Jiang Tian smiled: Xindao, as the memory of his predecessor who often hung out in the market, how could he not know the origins of these bad guys? At first, they were just additional helpers recruited by the Jingzhao Mansion in addition to the regular and white servants such as Zuo, Shi, Cangdu, Baizhi, and Zhiyi.

They are mainly homeless people, idlers, thugs, scoundrels and other urban vixens and rats from the streets, who like to fight fiercely and bravely. As a daily supporter for those on the official staff, together with many square officials, district chiefs, and Wuhoupu, they formed a grassroots network that maintained daily security in the capital.

Over the years, a sizable group was formed. But also because most of them come from the market, and their quality is mixed, and there is no real income or input, so they can only find ways to get it from the market.

Because once they fail to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, they will be beaten, so they are commonly called "bad spine rot". Therefore, various means of self-interest and entrapment are indispensable, and at one time, together with the palace envoys and Wufang children from Ouchi, they were called one of the three major dangers to the capital.

However, during the Qianyuan period, due to the powerful eunuch Li Fuguo, these bad people also suffered a devastating liquidation and blow. It was replaced by the city/management troops re-established by Liang Gong. That's right, it's the one who claims to be meticulous about everything. The city/governor who cares about everything.

It was only after Liang Gong became a hero that he retired to the outside world and established the Western Kingdom of Great Xia. The so-called city/management was also gradually reduced and omitted due to the high cost of the game in the court; eventually it became a mobile armed force directly under the Jingzhao Mansion.

And the bad guys' system, which is relatively cost-effective and trouble-free, can also be revived after changing the name. However, as one of the remnants of good governance from Liang Gong's time, these unscrupulous men and unscrupulous handsome men can share the profits from the street cleaning fees collected by the neighbors, which can be regarded as no longer using love to generate electricity.

Therefore, although it is still unavoidable to take advantage of others, the blatant extortion and extortion has actually decreased. Despite this, these unscrupulous people will not let go of any opportunity to make money legitimately when they have the opportunity.

After skipping this small episode, the carriage resumed its journey and continued forward. However, at this moment, the faint sound of pursuit was heard again behind the square wall. But the snitch on the wall "swiped away" and came back in circles. And came closer to the carriage again.

However, at this moment, Jiang Tian could vaguely see that the appearance of the current one seemed different from the previous snitch; the bag on his back also changed direction. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the snitch jumping towards the carriage again using his old tricks.

However, this time Jiang Tian had no intention of appeasing or watching. I saw that he said it was fast, but it was fast. He concentrated his mind and stretched out his hand in the air to squeeze hard. In an instant, he saw the thief flying up. Suddenly, with a strange scream, he was pulled down and thrown to the ground. .

After a while, there was a stain of blood on his head and face. At this time, the panting delinquents and Wuhou came up with shouts and screams. When they saw the snitch lying on the ground, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and surrounded him, and they couldn't wait to tie him up.

But no one noticed that the contents of the bag behind the snitch had fallen into the hands of Jiang Tian, ​​who was safely seated in the carriage away. Therefore, when the morning light finally illuminated the entire Chang'an City, Jiang Tian also returned to Qingqi Garden near Qujiang.

However, what he saw this time was dozens of uniformly dressed slaves and servants lined up to greet him. The moment they saw him, they all bowed and shouted:

"I respectfully invite you, sir, to return home."

In a corner of the north city of Chang'an, there is an exquisite garden called Fan Garden. An old man in purple robe who was well-fed, graceful and calm, with a noble and long-lasting demeanor, was also looking at the children and grandchildren playing in the garden from a distance, full of doting and love.

But when he turned around, it turned into a calm and powerful force that made people feel heart palpitating and faintly suffocating. Everyone who was waiting nearby couldn't help but hold their breath and dwarfed invisibly. Even the singing of birds and the scent of wintersweet flowers nearby were dimmed for a moment.

It wasn't until his eyes fell on a tall and handsome middle-aged man with gray hair and white temples walking from a distance that the others followed his look and retreated in small steps as if they had been granted amnesty. I saw this handsome middle-aged man raised his hand and saluted solemnly:

"Jun Hou, all the follow-up matters will be handed over in the name of Xiao Langjun."

"That's very good." The old man nodded and said: "My family is only a few years old. Although it is not as rich as those ancient families, it will not easily owe favors and kindness. But if you owe it, you must think about it. A good reward. What's more, he saved Ajiu first, and this time he saved Hui Niang, and also preserved the reputation of the family. It's just a separate business, it doesn't matter. "

"That's right." The old man suddenly remembered something and said, "Is Ajiu investigating about Zhenzhuji's past? With his impatient temper, he can actually find out what he wants. I'm afraid he won't be tricked by others. It’s my fault. In that case, you might as well help me out.”

"Besides that." The old man thought for a moment and then added: "You can take my post to Jingzhao Mansion and tell it to me. Since that person is my guest, no matter what happened before, everything ends here. That's all. Otherwise, although I have passed away, I still have a few nephews who are still with me."

After the handsome middle-aged man took the order and left, another old man in green clothes with a wrinkled face came forward and said, "Master, Mrs. Huixiang has returned home safely."

"Hui Niang, I was still a little careless." Hearing this, the old man fell into silence for a while before speaking again: "So much so that this kind of trouble happened. Later, you can do it for me I'm coming over for a visit, and I'll ask you privately. Is there anyone who catches my eye or whom I like?"

"Your Majesty?" The old man said in surprise:

"Just tell her that it's what I want," the old man said with a deep sigh: "After all, she has married once for my family. This time it is up to her to choose someone she likes. There is no need for our family to do so. What are the rules of a well-established family, and there is no need for extra help; as long as Hui Niang thinks it is okay, just bring her back to see you."

"Your Majesty!" The old man became more and more surprised and said suddenly:

"As long as it's not like that... it was too obvious." At this point, the purple-robed old man shook his head helplessly and said with some trouble: "Even if it's a peddler or a market person, it's up to her." Isn’t it possible that my family cannot be supported by the family status of a county horse or a prince-in-law?”

In fact, the thing that worries him most and makes him feel guilty at the moment, apart from his younger son who has always been careless due to lack of discipline, is his unique daughter who has many opinions and ideas but has been delayed. Since she became a widow, all she really wanted to do was cultivate a reputation and a number of guests.

As an old man, I can just pinch my nose, pretend not to know, and acquiesce to the fait accompli. After all, since the princesses of the Tian family, they have been widowed in the temple and entered the temple with great flamboyance. They have only recruited guests and recommended many outstanding talents, including Wang (Wei) and Li (Bai). There are no more good stories than her.

However, when she was keen on those Jinlan associations and handkerchief exchanges, she often stayed away for days and nights; so much so that rumors came out that what she actually liked was the absurd behavior of a daughter. As a result, Ajiu, that bastard kid, was not angry when he heard about it, so he disguised himself and broke into the women's street, and gave the messenger a good beating.

But it also caused some trouble, no matter how big or small, and openly broke the rules of the Heavenly Family that had been left down since Liang Gong, and men were not allowed to trespass in the women's street. After some weighing and weighing, he was sent to Youtufang as a punishment (to avoid the limelight); but he did not expect that he would encounter a life-and-death crisis and a huge right and wrong...

"My Lord..." However, at this time, the old man remembered something and hesitated to speak: "I have some knowledge, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You old guy, haven't you watched Hui Niang and the others grow up and have a relationship like an elder?" The old man frowned and said, "Why are you trying to quarrel with me at this time? If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"The old slave has heard a little about Qingqi Garden. In addition to Xiao Langjun running around frequently, Madam Huixiang seems to be also very concerned about it." The old slave hesitated and said: "And privately asked Sakon to pay attention to the man who sent out I have to read the manuscripts and letters in person. I even secretly ask people to ask for many texts in the name of Xiaolangjun."

"Oh..." The old man lengthened his tone meaningfully, thinking, this daughter is very discerning, but he suddenly turned around and asked: "This Gao Langjun, ah no, Jiang Sir, is he really just a copywriter who also works as a teacher? I heard that neither the Jingzhao Mansion nor the Procuratorate could find out more about the past."
