The dawn in the winter came very late, the sky was just bright, the people of the Qi Wangfu had already brought their bags to the front gate, the King of Qi sent a severance pay to everyone, and everyone also knew that the Qi Wangfu was already sunset, and even the King of Qi ordered everyone to leave, and everyone could only go their own way.

Ma Zhongheng waited in front of the door early, and waited until more than ten servants gathered in front of the door, and then stepped forward to open the gate personally.

Ma Zhongheng opened the door, crossed in front of the door, the person was tall and big, glanced at Wu Jingwei in front of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Who is in charge here?" ”

A Wu Jingwei stepped forward and glanced at the group of servants behind Ma Zhongheng, then stared at Ma Zhongheng and arched his hand: "Commander Ma, it's a humble position!" ”

Wu Jingwei according to the urban area, divided into four banners, southeast, northwest and four cities, all have a general flag, commanding the urban districts, this Qi palace is in the Xicheng District of the capital, so the transfer to the palace around, most of them are soldiers in the Xicheng District.

Ma Zhongheng had served as the general banner of Wujingwei Xicheng before, although the time was not long, but he also left a name in Wujingwei, and the Wujingwei in Xicheng would not be too rude when they saw Ma Zhongheng.

"Yuan Dusi." Ma Zhongheng glanced at the Wu Jingwei in front of him, and immediately recognized it, "You are on duty today?" ”

That Yuan Dusi nodded and smiled: "It's a humble position." Commander Ma, what do you want? He raised his hand and pointed behind Ma Zhongheng.

"The prince has an order, let them go free and return to their hometowns." Ma Zhongheng said in a deep voice: "Yuan Dusi, you won't even let them leave, right?" ”

Yuan Dusi immediately smiled and said: "The above meaning, as long as the prince is in the mansion, as long as the others check it, they can naturally leave." Commander Ma, are all these people leaving? ”

Ma Zhongheng nodded.

"Commander Ma, after the inspection, you can let them leave." Yuan Dusi said: "But when you go out of this door and want to go in again, there is no way." ”

"The prince let them go free, and they will naturally not come back."

Yuan Dusi nodded and said, "In this case, the commander can let them come out one by one, we will check it, and then register it, and then we can leave." ”

More than a dozen servants of the Qi Palace's mansion went up one after another to be inspected according to Wu Jingwei's requirements, and in the cold winter, they even had to take off their coats, even women, and they had to be carefully examined, Ma Zhongheng watched coldly, until these people were all inspected and their names and places of origin were registered, and then they asked, "Can they go?" ”

Yuan Dusi nodded and smiled: "There is no problem, you can go." He told everyone: "You are out of the Qi Palace, but you must keep in mind that you can't come close again, if you are like Weikang, you will have to be arrested, and don't blame us for not being merciful when the time comes." ”

Everyone sorted out their clothes and packages, looked back at the Zhumen Palace, and all of them looked gloomy, and under the urging of Wu Jingwei, they slowly left.

Ma Zhongheng looked at everyone from afar, then turned around and entered the house and closed the door.

When Ma Zhongheng entered the house, Yuan Dusi immediately called someone over, "Send someone to follow them, don't alarm them, I'll report to Lord Zongqi." ”

After Ma Zhongheng was transferred from the position of the Xicheng General Banner to the Qi Palace, the Xicheng General Banner was replaced by a newcomer.

"Lord Toji, it's almost dawn, are we waiting here for you to come back, or will we take turns on our own when the time comes?" The subordinate asked.

Yuan Dusi said: "Everything is as usual, the rotation will be on duty, and it will last all night, and if you change it back to rest, you will go back to rest." Hong Weixiao, when the rotation is later, you must be careful, wait until the brothers on duty are on duty, and the rest can be removed, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Most of the soldiers who control the Qi Wangfu are Wu Jingwei transferred from various departments in Xicheng District, and they are on duty in two shifts to guard several gates of the Qi Wangfu, and there are other soldiers patrolling around the Qi Wangfu at any time to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After Yuan Dusi left, it didn't take too long, the rotating Wu Jingwei came over according to the specified hour, and the Hong Wei School was not allowed to make arrangements, and when the Wu Jingwei who came on duty were all on duty, he ordered Wu Jingwei, who was on duty at night, to go back and rest.

Wang Fu, the head of the Ximen Department, stayed up all night, his body was really a little unbearable, he was really sleepy, and he returned with more than a dozen brothers from the Ximen Department.

The four cities of Kyoto, the six squares of the west city, set up twenty offices, the closest to the west gate of the imperial city, so it is called the west gate of the west gate of the west gate.

The West Gate Department was originally the most oil-free yamen of the 20th Department of Xicheng, with more than 30 people up and down, mainly patrolling the west gate of the imperial city and several streets close to the west gate of the imperial city.

These streets are the residences of dignitaries and nobles, and the mansions of the Qi Wangfu are just within the scope of this Ximen Administration, and Wu Jingwei is called to guard the Qi Wangfu, and the Ximen Office is naturally an inevitable errand.

Wu Jingwei, who guarded the palace of Qi, kept more than 70 people at all times, there were more than 20 people at the front gate and back door, and there were more than a dozen people at the two side doors, which was the small door specially used by the palace to transport dirt, and there were also four or five people guarding it at all times.

Each department is also responsible for public security in its own area every day, and naturally it is impossible to call in all the manpower of any one department, so these 70 or so people are usually transferred from seven or eight Wujing Bureaus, and those who are far away are on duty during the day, and those who are close at hand like the Ximen Department can only be responsible for night work.

This West Gate Office was also the place where Chu Huan stayed, Chu Huan first arrived in the capital, and the first Yamen to enter was the Wujingwei West Gate Office, after the death of Zhao Yang, the head of the West Gate Department, Wang Fu was the oldest qualified person in the West Gate Department, and the West Gate Department was the Qingshui Yamen, even if it was the position of the head of the West Gate Department, no one would be interested, so Wang Fu was mentioned to the position of the head of the West Gate Department.

In this position, there is no oil and water, but the responsibility is very great, Wang Fu has no choice, looking at the entire Ximen Department, others do not fight for this position, he is old and can only bear it.

It was cold and frozen, and it was hard to hold on all night outside the palace, after the shift, walking on the road, it was really cold and hungry, and the soldiers under his hands shouted to find a place to eat some breakfast, Wang Fu knew the thoughts of these guys, and said that they would eat their own food, but when they really arrived at the early shop, they were full and drunk, and everyone praised Wang Fu, and fell to the bottom, and it was nothing more than him to pay.

After suffering two losses, Wang Fu was no longer fooled, listening to the people around him shouting to go to eat breakfast, Wang Fu said that he was too sleepy, let his subordinates go by themselves, and did not wait for everyone to say more, and went back.

The boss of the crowd was bored, but the weather was cold, and when he returned to the office, it was also cold, so it was better to go to the shop to drink a bowl of hot soy milk first, so he let Wang Fu go back and gather to eat breakfast.

Wang Fu also wants to drink a bowl of hot soy milk, just for a bowl of hot soy milk, to pay more than a dozen bowls of hot soy milk, Wang Fu is the boss is unwilling, this is not how stingy he is, although he has a salary every month, but his son is seriously ill, has always relied on medicine to support, his annual salary, only enough to buy medicine for his son, although it is a signature, but a penny, has always been broken in half to spend.

Xicheng 20 Agency, if it is any one of the offices, Wang Fu will not be so poor, but he is the head of the Ximen Department, and there is no place to find money.

Stepping on the snow in the place, the sky was not completely bright, and the surroundings were still quite dark, and suddenly I heard the sound of "click" stamping on the snow behind me.

With his experience, Wang Fu knew that although there was only one person behind him, he thought that there was still someone who didn't go to eat breakfast, so he followed him back, and when he turned around, he saw a person wearing a hat and a robe, with his hands crossed to his chest, following behind him.

Seeing that the person was not dressed as Wu Jingwei, Wang Fu suddenly frowned, and walked a short distance, and the person behind him kept following, and the sound of "clicking" snow was connected back and forth.

Wang Fu suddenly stopped, the voice behind him also stopped abruptly, Wang Fu turned around again, and saw that the person also stopped, the man lowered his head slightly, the hat covered his face, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly for a while, Wang Fu couldn't help frowning, couldn't help but reach out to his waist, held the handle of the saber, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Who are you?" Why do you keep following me? ”

The hat-to-hat man was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Are you Wang Fu?" ”

Wang Fu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

"Although I haven't seen him for a long time, I have always remembered the sound and smile of Wang Zhitou." The man raised his head slightly, and in the darkness, Wang Fu still couldn't see the face of the person who came, so he only heard the man continue: "The noble man of the Wang Department is so forgetful, I'm afraid that I can't hear my voice anymore." ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be very familiar with what he was talking to, Wang Fu couldn't help but take a few steps forward, narrowed his brows, and looked up and down, "We...... Know? ”

The hat man raised a hand, lifted the hat slightly, and most of his face was already revealed, "Wang Zhitou, why don't you take a good look, you really don't remember me?" ”

Wang Fu held the saber tightly in one hand, and cautiously approached the past, a few steps away, at this time he had seen a lot clearly, seeing that the person was wearing an eye patch in his left eye, and the corners of his mouth were slightly arcing, Wang Fu frowned, his expression suddenly changed drastically, his body shook, and he lost his voice: "You are...... You are......! "I grew up and couldn't speak for a while.

The hat man took two steps forward, got closer, looked up, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhitou, do you remember that I am blind?" ”

Wang Fu looked horrified and said, "Bai ...... White blind man, is it really you? He immediately looked around, stretched out his hand, grabbed the arm of the white blind man, and pulled him to the alley next to him, then let go and said, "White blind man, didn't you follow Lord Chu to the northwest?" How...... How did you get back to the capital? Frowning, "You've been following me, you...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

The white blind man stared at Wang Fu with one eye, and chuckled: "Wang Zhitou, Chu Du asked me to bring you good news, you will be very happy to hear this news!" ”

"What...... What's the news? ”

"Ling Lang's illness is not an incurable disease." The white blind man said with a smile: "Chu Du is willing to help and help Wang Zhitou cure Ling Lang's illness!" ”
