Baishun Hutong is the most famous fireworks willow lane in the capital, where there are many brothels and gambling houses. After nightfall, most of the other places in the city have been blackened, but Baishun Hutong is extraordinarily lively, lanterns are hung outside the doors of the major green buildings, the women dressed in enchanting wind and dust stand on the side of the road, scratching their heads and gestures to solicit guests, the night wind is filled with the smell of all kinds of fat powder, and the sound of men and women flirting and scolding comes and goes.

There are many dark alleys near Baishun Hutong, the alleys are very dim, but the doors are mostly hidden, most of the people who live here are old and decrepit prostitutes, of course, there are also young sisters who like to work alone, all of which are collectively called semi-hidden doors.

At night, the half-closed prostitutes will open the door slightly, and the man in need can directly push the door in, negotiate the price and close the door to do things.

Generally, the people who help these secret prostitutes are men who don't have much money in their pockets, they are not interested, and they don't have the spare money to eat, drink and have fun, they usually choose to go straight to the point, pat their butts and leave when they are done. So although it's still early, there are moans and wheezing in the dark alley, which makes people red-faced.

At this time, the family was lit with oil lamps in the half-closed door, and a table of wine and food was prepared in the small living room, where two ruffian fellows were eating and drinking, and a scantily clad woman was pouring them wine.

The scantily dressed woman is named Chun Xi'er, about 20 years old, with a middle-to-upper posture, a full and round figure, and she is also a little famous in the nearby dark alleys, and her business is very good on weekdays.

At this time, Chun Xi'er's upper body was draped in an open veil, and the peaks and peaks under the pink bandeau were angry, which was very attractive. The two ruffians drank and sang wine, and at the same time put their hands up and down at Chun Xi'er, taking advantage of the big breasts and fat buttocks.

These two men are local hooligans and ruffians in the capital, one of them is called Qiu Ge'er, and the other is called Lao Wan.

At this time, Na Lao Wan stretched out his hand and grabbed Chun Xi'er's chest, the latter was probably scratched and hurt, slapped the back of the former's hand hard, and put the wine jug on the table again, and scolded: "Bastard, you are not made of meat as an old lady." ”

Lao Wan said with a smile: "Shout a fart, it's a big deal to compensate you if you catch Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will let you grab a handful of the following and enjoy it!" ”

This Chun Xi'er is obviously also a spicy character, and immediately scolded: "I, just your thing, it's too small to pick the teeth of the old lady, get out, don't do your business!" ”

Lao Wan's complexion changed, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot, and he was ridiculed for his money, which hurt the dignity of a man the most. Brother Qiu hurriedly stopped his companion and said with a smile: "Sister Xi, Lao Wan is just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

It is said that although this Chun Xi'er is a secret prostitute, she is in her youth, and her figure and appearance are still passable, so she has a bit of a dewy marriage with the officers patrolling this street, otherwise she would not have the confidence to be so tough on the two ruffians.

At this time, Lao Wan also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Sister Xi, I'm sorry, just kidding...... Ha, just kidding! With that, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

Chun Xi'er's eyes couldn't help but light up, this ingot of silver is estimated to be two or two, and she reached out and took it, flew a wink and said: "You two dead ghosts dare to make a fortune, no wonder you come here to eat and drink." ”

Brother Qiu'er's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, and he said with a smile: "Our brothers did make a little fortune today, stay overnight tonight!" ”

"Ouch, that family has to find a sister to help, so that they won't be able to stand you two dead ghosts tonight!" With that, he stood up.

"Hehe, go, go, let's take turns playing tonight, it's not bad for money!" Brother Qiu smiled.

Lao Wan watched Chun Xi'er twist her fat buttocks and walk to the door, swallowed her saliva with a grunt, and said secretly: "Phew, I'll see how Lao Tzu is in bed later, don't make you cry dad and call mother, Lao Tzu's name is written upside down." ”

Boom......

At this moment, the courtyard door was violently kicked open, and a rushing person rushed in from outside the door, and the leader kicked Chun Xi'er, who screamed on the spot and rolled to the side.

Lao Wan and Qiu Ge'er subconsciously stood up and looked at the courtyard for some reason, only thinking that Chun Xi'er's enemies had come to look for trouble, but the two of them quickly changed their faces and stood there trembling.

It turned out that the one who rushed into the courtyard was a team of brocade guards, wearing flying fish suits, holding bright embroidered spring knives, and the leader was the chief Sima Yuan, and now he is a hundred brocade guards.

Sima Yuan walked into the hall with a knife, didn't even look at the two people in the room, reached out and tore a chicken leg in the dish and bit it, then spit it out again, and scolded: ", what a few things, it's too unpalatable, take it!" ”

Immediately rushed up to the four brocade guards, and smashed the back of the two ruffians on the head, smashing the two of them to the ground with blood on the spot.

Sima Yuan lifted the wine jug angrily, took a sip of wine at the spout, and then stepped forward, raised his foot and stepped on Brother Qiu'er's chest, the embroidered spring knife was on his neck, sawing it with the back of the knife, and sneered: "Say, where was Sun Laosan tied up by you?" ”

Brother Qiu was almost scared, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, it's none of our business, the person was arrested by the Jianchang Hou family......"

……

In the small room, in the living room of the front yard of Xu's house, Xu Jin was accompanying Jinyi Weibei Town's Fufu Lu Song, and Jinyiwei Qianhu Jin Biao drinking tea and chatting, and there was a thick stack of case files on the coffee table.

Lu Songyuan is the staff of Xingwangfu, it can be said that the little emperor Zhu Houxi's confidant, last year also followed Xu Jin to Shandong disaster relief, after returning to Beijing, he was promoted from Jinyi Wei Qianhu to Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, his relationship with Xu Jin is not bad, so Xu Jin opened his mouth to find him to do things is still easy.

The three of them were chatting, and a brocade guard came in to report: "Report to the Lord Zhenfu, the person has been caught, and has been escorted back to the yamen by Sima Baihu, according to their confession, Sun Laosan is indeed in the Jianchang Hou Mansion." ”

Lu Song nodded, waved the subordinate away, arched his hand at Xu Jin and said, "Lord Xu, fortunately, I am not dishonored, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

Xu Jin stood up and saluted: "There is Lord Lu, it's not too early, and the official will not keep it, and thank you another day." ”

"Lord Xu is polite!" Lu Song nodded and left the Xu Mansion with Jin Biao.

Xu Jin sent it to the door before returning, picked up the thick pile of case files on the coffee table and returned to the study, these are all black materials collected by Jinyi, which recorded in detail the crimes committed by the two brothers Jianchang Hou and Shouling Hou, there are more than a dozen homicide cases alone, which is enough for these two brothers to kill their heads several times.

……

On the tenth day of the ninth month, Xu Jin took Huo Tao, the head of the household department, and four small officials who did clerical work to the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, with only the second brother-in-law Xie Erjian and the brother-in-law Xie Sangun escorting, but he did not bring fifty soldiers of the five hundred battalions.

Huo Tao, the head of the household department, was in a worried mood, looking like he wanted to speak, and with his officialdom experience, he naturally guessed that Xu Jin wanted to use the Marquis of Jianchang today, so as to tear up a breakthrough in measuring the land.

But Huo Tao felt that Xu Jin had chosen the wrong target to kill chickens and monkeys, and the Marquis of Jianchang had indeed embezzled a large number of granges, and he had done a lot of bad things on weekdays, but there was the support of the queen mother behind them, and even the emperor had to give the queen mother. Therefore, Huo Tao felt that even if Xu Jin took the Duke of Dingguo Xu Guangzuo to establish his authority, he would always be stronger than the Marquis of Jianchang.

At this moment, Huo Tao secretly regretted hugging Xu Jin's thigh, although this son is talented and has the emperor's favor, but after all, he is still too young and impulsive...... Alas!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The gate of the Marquis of Jianchang Mansion was open, and several big-shouldered and round-waisted family members were guarding the door, and when they saw Xu Jin and others, they came up to ask them, if it weren't for Xu Jin wearing official uniforms, it is estimated that they would have driven people directly.

Xu Jin said lightly: "I am Xu Jin in the household department, and I was ordered to come to inspect the field contract of your mansion. ”

"You...... You are Xu Jin? Several family members looked at Xu Jin with strange expressions, a bureau was set up yesterday, this guy didn't come, but he took the initiative to send it to the door today.

Xu Jin said proudly: "That's right, this official is Xu Jin, go and inform your master." ”

Several family members glanced at each other, one of them hurriedly reported in, and the others stopped at the door vigilantly.

Xu Jin sneered in his heart, the dark stake of the five hundred battalions yesterday had been reported, saying that there was a suspected ambush in the Jianchang Marquis' mansion, how could he not make arrangements when he came to the door with swagger today.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling, who got the report from his subordinates, had an urge to vomit blood, and yesterday he made a big move to set up a pit, but this kid was stunned and didn't come, so he waited for a few hours in vain, but this kid came here today, what a fucking fuck!

"Phew, Xu Jin wants to check Lao Tzu's land deed, dream, let him go!" Zhang Yanling flicked his sleeves and sneered, suddenly rolled his eyes, stopped the subordinate who was about to leave, and asked, "How many people did Xu Jin bring?" ”

The subordinate replied honestly: "Not much, only seven, one of them is the head of the household department, there are four small officials, and there are two retinues!" ”

Zhang Yanling was suddenly overjoyed, and dared to love Xu Jin, this kid really planned to come to work today. It is that there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell, since you are looking for death, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you.

Zhang Yanling's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand: "Take them to the front living room." ”
