"Brother Su!"
"Two heads!"
"Brother Lin!" Lin Chuan saw the Thousand-faced Fox and greeted him with a smile.
"..."
The three of them exchanged pleasantries as if no one else was around. The Thousand Faced Fox spoke carelessly, as if he were a "landlord", and finally said to Su Xian:
"Brother, you are here just in time. I will take you to meet the old man later. He has been talking about you for a long time."
"Okay." Su Xian responded with a smile.
Thousand-faced Fox took Lin Chuan's hand again and said:
"Brother Lin, a new brothel has opened in Nanli. The girls inside are so tender that you want to swallow them in one bite... I'll treat you tonight. Brother custody, you'll be satisfied."
"OK!"
Lin Chuan suddenly became happy.
Su Xian turned to look at him and said "um hum" twice on purpose. He had not forgotten what Lin Chuan said in Huaizhou, that he would be "widow" for three months.
But Lin Chuan obviously forgot about this.
After the greetings were completed, the Thousand-faced Fox pointed sideways at the two people behind him and introduced him in a carefree manner: "This is Nangong Kui, the three-headed hunter, whom you saw in Yingzhou."
"Brother Su." Nangong Kui bowed with a straight face.
"Three arrests." Su Xian returned the greeting.
Thousand-faced Fox pointed at another person and said: "This is Jiang Hanwen, the fourth arrester of the Prison Department. Hanwen, didn't you say you wanted to see Brother Su as soon as possible? Now you have met."
Jiang Hanwen was of medium height, with a thin face. His clothes and hats were extremely neat and clean. He looked smart and capable. He stepped forward with a smile and saluted:
"Brother Su's name is very well known to me. I'm so lucky to see you today!"
"Four arrests, same luck." Su Xian returned the greeting.
"..."
A few of them were chatting and laughing there, as if no one else was around. The faces of the other people present were different, but the common feature was that no one was talking.
Yan Dashan, Liu Huixiang and the soldiers of the Hou Mansion were completely relieved, especially the soldiers of the Hou Mansion, who could not help but slowly straighten their chests and straighten their backs.
Zhou Ji's brows furrowed. Before he set off, Princess Lanling had ordered that Su Xian must be taken to the princess's residence and that he must not be snatched away by others, such as the Prison Department.
Opposite him, Zhang Huaiyi frowned a little more. He didn't expect that Su Xian, in addition to having a close relationship with Princess Lanling's Mansion, would also have such a relationship with the Prison Department. This would be difficult to handle.
Princess Lanling alone would make him feel troublesome, but if the Prison Secretary was added to the mix... Although he was not afraid of the Prison Secretary, there was really no need to break up with the Prison Secretary because of Su Xian.
It's not a good deal.
He stood there with a frown on his face, his face uncertain.
All around, the people watching had already fallen into a daze.
They never expected that Su Xian would have a close relationship with the three major arrests of the Criminal and Prison Department. That was the Criminal and Prison Department, a privileged yamen as famous as the Internal Guard.
In recent years, although the power of the Department of Criminal Justice has been subject to some restrictions, it should not be underestimated. The fully privileged yamen can barely be regarded as overlooking the civil and military officials.
"..."
"Brother, it's getting late. I'll take you back to the Prison Department's Yamen first. I'll go meet that bad old man first, and then I'll take you for a walk around the Yamen."
Qianmianhu suddenly took Su Xian's hand and extended an invitation.
Su Xian hadn't spoken yet. Zhou Ji's office on the side couldn't stand immediately. He quickly came up and took Su Xian's other hand and said in a deep voice:
"Second arrest, you, the Prison Department, have passed! The Marquis is an official of my Princess Lanling Mansion, and is closely connected with the Princess Mansion. You should go to the Princess Mansion first!"
Qian-faced Fox's expression darkened, he took Su Xian's hand and said:
"Brother Su is already the Marquis of Fanyang County, why are you still staying in the Princess Mansion? That old man... I, the Young Master of the Criminal and Prison Department, have given Brother Su the position of 'Captain of the Capital'". He is from my Criminal and Prison Department. You should go to the Prison Department!"
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, another uproar broke out in the crowd.
Zhang Huaiyi also frowned, and his face became a little ugly.
Shao Sikou actually...gave Su Xian the position of "capital officer of the capital"?
Su Xian is now from the Prison Department? !
Although everyone does not know what the official position of "captain of the capital official" is, but it contains the word "capture of the head", it is assumed that the status is not low, and it is very likely to be on an equal footing with the four major head catchers.
This is a big deal!
People were in an uproar, and the Prison Department added another arrestee!
…
Zhou Ji's office and Qianmianhu are still arguing about whether Su Xian should go to the Princess's Mansion or the Prison Department's Yamen first.
None of them noticed that because of their words, the faces of the people around them, including Zhang Huaiyi, changed drastically at the same time, and their understanding of Su Xian rose to a new level.
And thought to himself:
"Su Xian, the Marquis of Fanyang County, is not only closely connected with Princess Lanling's palace, but also has a close relationship with the head catcher of the Criminal and Prison Department. He even became the 'captain of the chief official' of the Criminal and Prison Department!"
"What other surprises can he bring to people?"
"..."
In the crowd, someone suddenly said:
"Princess Lanling's Mansion has sent someone to invite her, and the Prison Department has also sent someone to invite her. If His Highness the Crown Prince sends someone to come again... wouldn't it be a good story?"
"Since the Marquis has a close relationship with the Princess Mansion, His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally not send anyone to invite..."
"But what you don't know is that a few months ago, the prince had competed with the princess for the prince! This shows that the prince also values the prince very highly."
"I see... If the inner guard also..."
"Hush, you dare to say those two words? Be careful, there are their people next to you, and they will come to catch you in the middle of the night!"
"..."
Su Xian's face turned red when he saw Zhou Ji's office arguing with Qian-faced Fox. He was really afraid that they would fight in the street, which would be bad for both parties. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You two, listen to me."
They both stopped talking at the same time and turned to look.
Su Xian said:
"My visit to Beijing this time is mainly due to the affairs of Yingzhou and Liao Kingdom. This matter is related to Princess Lanling, so I will go to the Princess's Mansion first, and then I will visit the Prison Department Yamen when I am free tomorrow."
Seeing what Su Xian had said, Qianmianhu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The argument is over.
Only then did he notice that Su Xian's motorcade had stopped in front of the city gate, and that several soldiers of the Hou Mansion had suffered some scratches. His face immediately darkened, he glanced at Zhang Huaiyi opposite and asked:
"Brother Su came from Yingzhou, and he has just reached the city gate. Before he enters the city, could there be some blind people blocking the way? I, the people from the Prison Department, dare to block it?"
"presumptuous!"
The steward in Zhang Huaiyi's mansion jumped out, pointed at the nose of the Thousand-faced Fox and cursed: "Everyone in the world is afraid of you, the Prison Department, but we are not afraid, Mr. Zhang..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Huaiyi behind him cough twice, stopped immediately and looked back.
Zhang Huaiyi took a small step forward, cupped his hands in the direction of Thousand-faced Fox, and said calmly: "Second arrester!"
"So Lieutenant Zhang is here, disrespectful!" Thousand-faced Fox also cupped his hands, and then asked:
“I wonder what Captain Zhang’s intention is when he comes here?”
Zhang Huaiyi glanced sideways, glanced coldly in the direction of Su Xian, turned around, boarded the carriage and ordered: "Let's go!"
