Han You entered the city smoothly and was interrogated. Several hundred banknotes were found on his body, and he pretended to curse a few times, saying that he came from the capital and was a powerful influence in the capital. His adoptive father was Zhou Yan, the King of You. In the capital, let alone the city gatekeeper, even the Minister of War did not dare to search him.
The city gatekeeper took one look at Han You's stupid appearance and didn't bother to search carefully. He thought that this guy was definitely not Han You. How could he recognize his student as his godfather.
As he expected, Zhou Tong and others, who carried military symbols, imperial edicts, and banknotes but pretended to be ordinary people, were not subject to any interrogation.
This group of city gatekeepers and palace guards are very targeted. They are young people, dressed in extraordinary clothes, and accompanied by a group of followers. As long as they are like this, they will be asked, checked, and searched one by one.
Fortunately, these city gatekeepers were very polite. If they made evil noises or ambushed some soldiers, Han You would not dare to enter the city, for fear that the officials in the city would want to kill him.
After everyone gathered together, Zhou Tong also realized that something was wrong.
"No one really wants to kill you."
"Probably not."
Han You shook his head with a smile and said as he walked into the city: "The magistrate is not a magistrate. He is from the third rank or a civil servant. Even if I am the emperor's personal army, I am only the commander of the third rank. I come here with great fanfare. He cares about his face. It's impossible. Taking the initiative to pick me up at the city gate was too cheap. I was worried about the gain and loss and was afraid that I would sneak over and enter the city and cause some misunderstandings, so I thought it would be better to let the city gate man find out my identity directly. Then things would be easier to handle, no matter what I did Nothing can be hidden from him.”
Zhou Tong said unhappily: "You scholars have so many tricks up their sleeves."
"As a prince, you don't have to use these tricks, but you must not understand. If you don't understand, you will only be a..."
Han You couldn't go on. How can I say that you are just a prince all your life? Apart from tens of thousands of people, thousands of acres of farmland, hundreds of followers and endless money to spend, what else do you have? You are still nothing. ?
"Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you." Han You pointed forward: "Find an inn first, rest, and wait for Dachuan'er and the others to meet up."
Zhou Tong: "I just told you which inn we should meet at."
Han You still chose not to speak.
They are not fools. After entering the city, there are only a few inns in the north of the city. You can tell by standing at the door and looking at the horses in the stables. Does this need to be said clearly?
It can be seen that Zhou Tong still has a long way to go, but Han You has long lost interest in teaching the prince. His patience has long been exhausted with Zhou Yan, and Zhou Tong is not as popular as Zhou Yan.
The inn is called Fujuju, and Han You suspects that the owner is a native of Hu Jian.
Facing the street, on the third floor, the waiter is diligent, the shopkeeper smiles warmly, there is a dining table on the first floor, bedrooms on the second floor, and bedrooms on the third floor.
Wang Hai asked for three houses, and he was careful. He didn't ask for the most expensive one, but only the right one. Now that he is here, he is completely within the influence of the Nandi family. Is the local officialdom really loyal to Lao Ba? I don’t know, but there are only three things for everyone, low-key, low-key, and really low-key.
When they arrived at the room, Wang Hai was busy cleaning up, while Han You stood by the window, looking at the busy traffic on the street.
Compared with the capital, although Qiongzhou City is large, there are not many people. As night falls, more and more guards appear on the road.
Han You asked Wang Hai to put out all the candles, brought a stool and sat by the window, just looking at the city gate.
After watching for a long time, he confirmed what he was thinking. It was far away and his expressions could not be seen clearly, but on the faces under the firelight, the city gatekeepers and palace guards were communicating with each other helplessly.
From time to time, officials or clerks in official robes came running from a distance, asking questions.
As the city gate approached, these gatekeepers did not even spare the common people, interrogating, questioning, and body-searching the common people.
"Master."
Wang Hai, who had just bought some food, said softly: "The shopkeeper and the waiters started asking around downstairs, asking the new residents if they had seen a large group of people."
Han You nodded. The more you want to find this young master, the less likely I will let you find him and make you angry to death.
There were more and more guards on the road, but Han You was not in a hurry anymore.
"Get some sleep and talk tomorrow."
There were two beds in the room, one for Han You and one for Wang Hai. The latter gently lowered the bookcase and blocked the door.
I've been on the road recently and haven't had a good night's sleep. After Han You lay down with his clothes on, he fell asleep within a moment.
Wang Hai had three long and three short walls. After the sound of three long and three short came from the next door, Brother Hai fell asleep.

In Zhizhou Mansion, Xiang Lun was pacing back and forth in the main hall, and his confidant and prisoner Yu Shaoyong came in.
"Sir." After calling "Sir," Yu Shaoyong shook his head, which meant that he still hadn't seen Han You.
"What kind of trouble are these idiotic Yi Dao Guards going to make? They were clearly seen at Kuan County Post Station. Didn't the letter from Kuai Ma say that they would arrive today at the latest? Could it be that they died miserably in the wild?"
Yu Shaoyong was worried.
Xiang Lun was transferred from Border Pass to Qiongzhou as the magistrate. Because he didn't know how to act like a civil servant, he only transferred one Yu Shaoyong.
Yu Shaoyong was Xiang Lun's pro-soldier back then. He was originally a down-and-out scholar. He followed the family's caravan and worked as an accountant. As a result, he was robbed by the aliens. The caravan was almost killed by the aliens. Xiang Lun also happened to take his companions with him. The army arrived.
Seeing that Yu Shaoyong was illiterate and had nowhere to go, Xiang Lun took this man with him. Although he was not brave enough, he was very clever and good at planning and judgment. He has been following Xiang Lun ever since. He can also be regarded as Xiang Lun's counselor. He is the only counselor who received a job as a supervisor in Qiongzhou.
Yu Shaoyong had a typical scholarly appearance. He had been in the army for several years. Although he was neither strong nor thin, his facial features were ordinary. He looked a bit like Tang Jing and felt weak.
"Sir, the student has thought about it a lot. If what Zhao Congyun said is true, His Majesty really wants to ask you to take off this official robe. The reason used should be related to Zhou Tianfeng, and it can only be taken off if it is related to the traitor. You are the official robe of a third-level official who knows the state."
Xiang Lun's face was as dark as water: "You mean, that man named Han You will frame me?"
"I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but the student has a plan. Even if you can't save your official status, you can at least sell Han You a favor. If it's done well, maybe you can make the emperor in Beijing trust you."
Xiang Lun sat down and said, "Tell me and listen."
"If Zhao Congyun really wants to get rid of the emperor's troops, you only need to warn Han You and tell him that Zhao Congyun and his son are trying to harm him. Then you take action to save Han You's life and let him return to Beijing intact. That’s good.”
"It makes sense, but Zhao Congyun is not stupid. How do I know when and how he will take action? If I was fooled by a false shot, and I rashly went to look for Han You, but nothing happened in the end, how could that happen? Wouldn’t it make the emperor and Han You hate me more?”
Yu Shaoyong smiled slightly: "That can only prove one thing."
"What's up?"
"What the Zhao family father and son want to get rid of is not the emperor's personal army, but you."
Xiang Lun's expression changed slightly: "You mean..."
"Yes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Before you took control of Qiongzhou City, the Zhao family and his son could be said to cover the sky with one hand. I heard that even the Zhao family elders who were far away in the old house could not control these two people. The students were worried about the Zhao family and his son. It is false to say that I want to get rid of the emperor's personal army, but it is true to frame you and want to get rid of you, or to kill two birds with one stone."
"It's fucking possible!"
Xiang Lun scolded him, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was that the Zhao family and his son would gain from getting rid of Han You. This guy wouldn't stay in Qiongzhou City forever. The one who stayed in Qiongzhou and they didn't deal with him was Xiang Lun, the governor of the state.
A word woke up the dreamer, Xiang Lun was angry and anxious.
If he agreed with Zhao Congyun today and someone really assassinated Han You, he, who turned a blind eye to Zhizhou, would have found out his "inaction" with the ability of the emperor's own army.
Why didn't you act? Was he involved or the mastermind?
"First he sows discord, then he diverts trouble to the east, and then he frames the blame. The Zhao family..."
Xiang Lun gritted his teeth: "I don't know what the imperial court is thinking, so I tolerated this father and son again and again, and now I want to get rid of me. It's disgusting, it's disgusting, it's so abominable, blah blah blah!"
Yu Shaoyong didn't say anything. These were just speculations, but he didn't mind Xiang Lun building a good relationship with Han You first to see if they could work together to get rid of the Zhao family and his son, so as to avoid causing trouble to Xiang Lun in the future.
