Qianmen Street, there is a quiet small courtyard in the most prosperous area, a beautiful girl is sitting under the eaves of the porch and concentrating on embroidery, and a maid hurriedly run: "County Lord, County Lord, Chang Gonggong won the battle again, he killed the thief head......"

This girl is naturally Zhu Zhi'e of the Jin Palace, she has been secretly in the capital for more than a month, and during this period, she has already visited the capital, and then rarely goes out to be a female celebrity at home and inquire about the news of that person.

In the capital, the news of Dongchang and Jinyiwei is naturally the most well-informed, but even in this way, there is very little news about the little eunuch, at most I have heard about the progress of the war, but every time I hear that the officers and soldiers are going to the next city, I am excited, and I know that Chang Yu has won the battle again.

But this time I heard that Bai Wang was dead, so ...... Won't he be back soon!

"I'm going to the temple to make a wish for him to stick incense" Zhu Zhi'e suddenly made a decision, in fact, she felt that Chang Yu was killing people in her heart, so she helped him burn incense and ask for peace of mind.

"Are you going to Guangji Temple?" The maidservant asked, Guangji Temple is in Fuchengmen, which is a more famous big temple in the capital, but Zhu Zhi'e tilted her head and thought: "Go to Xishan."

"Is the county lord going to Xiangshan Temple?" The maidservant asked, and Zhu Zhi'e shook her head: "Biyun Temple."

The maid was stunned and immediately understood, Biyun Temple was originally called Biyun Nunnery, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor (the real power of the Yamen in the palace) during the Zhengde period was once expanded and built a living circle (when he was alive to repair his own tomb) and renamed Biyun Temple, and Wei Zhongxian also built a living circle there, and rebuilt Biyun Temple.

Obviously, Zhu Zhi'e chose this temple with deep meaning, that is, because this temple has been rebuilt by two eunuchs, and Chang Yu is also a eunuch, in fact, there are many eunuchs in Xiangshan, such as Hongguang Temple, which was built by Zheng Tong, a eunuch from Goryeo.

Ironically, both Yu Jing and Wei Zhongxian failed to be buried in Biyun Temple due to their sins.

But it seems that Zhu Zhi'e doesn't care about this, she might as well act and think about it, she will go back to the room to pack her things in a hurry, and the maid over there hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage.

Naturally, it was the people from Dongchang who prepared the carriage and secretly followed him, that is, Huo Chao, Chunxiang's confidant, and he and more than ten fans were specifically responsible for protecting Zhu Zhi'e.

The carriage drove out of the side door and slowly drove west along Qianmen Street, Huo Chao personally drove his subordinates into civilian clothes and followed far behind, Zhu Zhi'e leaned against the car window and looked at the street scene outside with a smile on her face, the maid knew what she was thinking and was happy for her: "County Lord, seeing that it is about to be noon, do you want to buy some food to bring, I heard Huo Guards say that there are very desolate and there are no shops, and there is no food in the temple, is it Huo Guard?" ”。

"Yes, except for the temple over there, it's a temple," Huo Chao replied in front.

Zhu Zhi'e thought for a while: "Then let's eat first and then go, Huo Guard, you are looking for a restaurant in front of me, I will invite everyone to lunch" Huo Chao happily responded: "The little brothers thanked the eldest lady."

"Did you hear that, how many times have I told you, tell the eldest lady not to call the county lord" Zhu Zhi'e stretched out her finger and tapped the maid's forehead.

The Ming Dynasty was open, and it was not a new thing for women to go to the theater to watch the opera and listen to the music when they went to the restaurant, if there was a nightclub, they were no worse than those girls in later generations, of course, the women who could go to the restaurant in these years were either rich or expensive.

Zhu Zhi'e is undoubtedly a white rich beauty, born in the palace since she was a child, she has been pampered with brocade clothes and jade food, and she is very particular about clothing, food, housing and transportation, even if she secretly enters Beijing this time to keep a low profile, but she still has to maintain the forced style, after all, it is extremely difficult for her to adapt to if you let her find a fly restaurant to eat.

So Huo Chao found a big restaurant near Fuchengmen, the shopkeepers are all discerning, and at a glance, they knew that it was the daughter of a wealthy family who came out to shop, and the battle between seven or eight families and two or three maidservants was by no means ordinary rich people, so he quickly welcomed everyone into the store: "Are you going upstairs, or ......?"

"Just get a table of wine and food for the gentlemen, and then find a private room by the window for our young lady" Huo Chao said to the shop's junior second, although it is not a new thing for women to go to the restaurant these days, but Zhu Zhi'e is still too eye-catching.

The shopkeeper made a mistake at once: "It's unfortunate that the master came, this will be the time for the people who are eating, and the private room is full, or will you find the lobby on the second floor by the window to make do with it?" ”

Huo Chao felt that his face was swept away, and just wanted to show his identity, Zhu Zhi'e grabbed him, and then took out a piece of ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper: "I'm tired."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, and he took the silver: "Just two guests entered the private room and the food hasn't been served yet, the little one will go and discuss it with you" said and went upstairs.

"It's still good to use silver" Huo Chao smiled bitterly, and Zhu Zhi'e said softly: "Why bother with things that can be solved with silver."

In a private seat near the window on the second floor, a middle-aged man was sitting down with a young man, and the shopkeeper gently knocked on the door: "The two masters discuss something, can you move to the hall, we are invited to Wanhui Building for wine and food today."

The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Ahem, cough, two masters, I'm sorry, I have a distinguished guest to ......"

With a bang, the middle-aged man was furious, grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it: "Bastard thing, bully Lao Tzu, you don't know what a distinguished guest is, do you know that this is the son of Lord Shangshufang of the Ministry of Rites."

The shopkeeper's head was smashed and bleeding, and his frightened face turned pale and hurriedly retreated: "The little one has eyes and no beads, please forgive the two masters......"

"Why should Lord Wu make a big fuss with the same little guy" The young man is Wu Sangui's best friend Fang Guangchen, his father is the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as for this middle-aged man, he is Wu Mengming, the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, one is Wu Sangui's best friend, and the other is Chang Yu's henchman, how did they come together, which is thought-provoking.

"Let this dog thing have a long memory, there are more than 100 courtiers and thousands of courtiers in the capital, who is not a distinguished guest, and he is blind in order to reward silver...... Wu Mengming was still scolding and scolding, Fang Guangchen hurriedly made tea for him and comforted him.

"Little incompetence...... This silver will be returned to you" The shopkeeper downstairs covered his head and apologized to Zhu Zhi'e and his party, and the shopkeeper over there also hurriedly came to ask what the situation was, and the shopkeeper said this, and the shopkeeper sighed: "Hurry up and go to the back to bandage it" said to Zhu Zhi'e: "This eldest lady, you see...... Either you sit in the hall or you ......"

"If you don't change it, you won't change it, but why do you hurt people" Zhu Zhi'e was angry and gave Huo Chao a look: "Let's see how powerful this Ministry of Rites book is."

To tell the truth, if Huo Chao was an ordinary rich man or something, he would have gone up and beaten him a long time ago, but the other party is the second generation of officials, and it is a little bad for him to show his identity, not because he is afraid but worried that Zhu Zhi'e will be exposed because of this, you must know that it is a great secret for a county lord to enter Beijing.

But who would have thought that Zhu Zhi'e was a character who roared when she saw injustice, and when she saw that the shopkeeper was injured, she didn't care about anything else and wanted to seek justice for him, Huo Chao only hesitated a little here, Zhu Zhi'e had already rushed upstairs, and had to grit her teeth and follow, after all, it was not Fang Yizao himself, just go up and say a few cruel words to help this county lord relieve his anger.

When Huo Chao rushed upstairs with a few of his subordinates, he found that Zhu Zhi'e was looking around, she didn't know which private room it was, but Huo Chao saw at a glance that there was blood at the door of the private room near the staircase, so he walked over and kicked the door open: "Who the hell was it just now...... Uh, Lord Wu, why are you ......?"

The door was suddenly kicked open, Wu Mengming and Fang Guangchen inside were taken aback, and then saw several big men rushing in and scolding, Wu Mengming was angry and was about to get angry when he was recognized by the big man in the first place, but he didn't know the other party and asked in flames: "Who dare you do this."

"The little one is on an errand in the East Factory, and I'm embarrassed to bump into Lord Wu, misunderstanding, misunderstanding" Huo Chao said and quickly bowed down to apologize, closed the door with his backhand and was about to leave.

If someone else collided with Wu Mengming like this, it would be a big trouble, but when he heard that it was someone from Dongchang, although he was angry, he had to endure it, and he mistakenly thought that the other party was performing some task but found the wrong door, and he didn't want to pursue it when he apologized and left, but he caught a glimpse of a woman behind him at the moment Huo Chao closed the door.

This woman is extremely beautiful, but this is not important, the important thing is that he feels that this beauty is extremely familiar, and more importantly, the woman also showed a look of surprise when she saw him, obviously knowing her too.

Who is this woman...... Wu Mengming's pupils dilated suddenly, and he opened the door suddenly, but Huo Chao was startled: "Lord Wu, this matter is really a misunderstanding...... Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Wu Mengming and walked directly to the woman, who quickly lowered her head and nervously played with her fingers and seemed at a loss.

cough, Wu Mengming stomped his feet, turned around and said to Fang Guangchen: "Young Master Fang, this official has official business to deal with at this time, let's meet later, cough cough, Young Master Fang, please go back first."

Although Fang Guangchen didn't know what was happening in front of him, Wu Mengming was extremely nervous when he saw the people from Dongchang coming, and knew that there must be trouble, so he said a few kind words, arched his hand, and left in a hurry.

As soon as he went downstairs with his front foot, Wu Mengming pulled Zhu Zhi'e into the box, and Huo Chao was about to stop him but was blocked by Wu Mengming: "The official knows her identity, you are waiting outside."

"Lord Wu, we are also old friends, I didn't expect to meet you here" Zhu Zhi'e said with a little embarrassment, Wu Mengming lived in the Jin Palace, and even drank wine together, so he was naturally no stranger.

But Wu Mengming didn't have a little bit of joy to see each other, and his surprise was greater than joy: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, how can you ...... in the capital" As the big leader of Jinyiwei, he didn't know when a county lord secretly arrived in the capital, and only people from Dongchang could do this...... Suddenly thinking of a few Dongchang fans outside the door, Wu Mengming was shocked in his heart, and quickly waved his hand to stop Zhu Zhi'e, who was just about to speak: "His Royal Highness the county lord doesn't need to say what he wants, the official doesn't want to know, and the official hasn't seen the county lord, farewell, farewell" said and was about to get up and leave.

He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

"Lord Wu" Zhu Zhi'e stopped him: "We haven't seen it when we get out of this door, and now it's hard for you and me to say a word about the old things in this room, so can't people meet and have a meal?" ”。

Wu Mengming was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's the official ...... cough, let His Royal Highness the county lord laugh at it" said to Huo Chao outside the door: "Let the store get some wine and food, you are also free, this meal is invited."
