Under the city wall, a beggar-looking man watched Cheng Mo and his party go, the smoke and dust raised were blown away by the wind, stood up, skillfully walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the back door of a tall and gorgeous mansion in the west of the city. The back door was closed, he pushed open the door, poked half of his head in, and shouted, "Thirteen Lang, are you there?" ”

A middle-aged man in a green coat and a small hat came out of a small hut next to him and said impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”

The beggar-looking man smiled flatteringly, his black teeth darkening in the light of the hut, and said, "A dozen unidentified people entered the city just now, with a capital accent. ”

The middle-aged man put away his impatient look and said suspiciously, "Really? ”

He didn't believe it, people who looked like beggars knew what the accent of the capital was like. This kid is a little gangster, and he can lie at the city gate all day long in the sun, saying that he observes all kinds of people entering and leaving the city gate, etc., and finds out the news for the state pastor, as long as he sees a suspicious person, or hears something unfavorable to the state pastor, he will come to report the news, and every time he can get a lot of reward, he lives very nourishing on this, every day he has good wine and meat, and a good warm bed.

The beggar-looking man hurriedly said, "Really, it's more real than real gold." The person at the head spoke to Boss Hua, and Boss Hua said that he had a Beijing accent, but the man didn't deny it. ”

Boss Hua is the guard of the city gate, he lies by the city gate every day, he has to have a good relationship with a few soldiers, and Cheng Mo talked to the man's surname is Hua, he is the eldest son in the family, so he respectfully calls this person Boss Hua.

When the middle-aged man heard him say this, he no longer doubted it, threw a piece of broken silver in his hand, and turned to enter.

The news was handed in layer by layer, and after a while, it was handed to Zhou Zheng. His face was ugly, and he said, "From the capital?" Is it credible? ”

A guard, can understand what is the accent of the capital? Just kidding.

Half an hour later, after going home for dinner, Boss Hua, who had taken off his clothes and was about to make love with his wife, was called to the state pastoral mansion. He stood tremblingly in the hall and described Cheng Mo's accent, appearance, and clothing in detail.

The more he spoke, the more ugly Zhou Zheng's face became. A young man who can wear a big coat and carry a dozen sturdy guards with him, there is no one in Yangzhou City that he doesn't know, and he doesn't match this person at all, and he stepped off the horse, and he couldn't find a horse in the entire Yangzhou City, not to mention Yangzhou City, even Yangzhou County. It's hard to say whether this person is from the capital or not, but he must be from another place.

After Boss Hua finished speaking, he didn't hear Zhou Zheng's voice for a long time, and he became more and more frightened, not knowing which of his words was wrong, and said cautiously: "My lord? ”

Zhou Zheng was awakened in contemplation, waved his hand, and said to the mung bean: "Don't go back yet?" Want an adult reward? ”

It's good to come out alive, how dare you ask for a reward. The old man Hua muttered and withdrew, and went out of the corner door, the night breeze blew, his back was cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat just now.

Zhou Zheng instructed: "Send more people to search for me, see who is sacred, dare to spread wild in Yangzhou City." ”

Mung Bean hurriedly agreed, and the order went down, and after a while, the corner gate opened, and dozens of servants in green clothes and small hats rode out of the house. Soon, exclamations sounded all over the city, and some slaves took advantage of the search to take the sheep by the hand, and some slaves saw that the woman who looked passable and put their hands on it.

The largest inn in the city, the Jade Residence, is brilliantly lit, the lights illuminate the entire street as bright as day, and the windows reflect the figures of people from time to time, and the three-story inn is almost full. The corridor was full of people, but the building was very quiet, the guests did not raise their voices, and the guys behaved elegantly, if it weren't for the uniform men's clothes, no one would believe that these people were guys.

The guy Zhang Ermao served six dishes on a vermilion lacquer plate, sent them to room C, set them on the table, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a jade tree in the wind.

After Cheng Mo finished bathing, he washed off the wind/dust, changed into a beautiful blue Yanju regular clothes, stood by the window, looked at Yangzhou City at night, couldn't see anything clearly in the night, I don't know if the city is as Zhou Jin said, officials and businessmen colluded, and I don't know where Zhou Jin is, and suddenly heard the sunspot in the corner of the house scolding: "What to do?" ”

Kuroko was annoyed, his own Ah Lang was the dignified King of Bei'an, and a little guy dared to stare at Ah Lang's back intently, it was really bold.

Cheng Mo turned around, saw the guy's hands drooping, looked panicked, and said, "The little one should be damned." Then he bowed and withdrew.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah Lang, this guy is a bit of a thief, wait for the little one to let the shopkeeper be replaced." Kuroko said and walked out.

There are six dishes on the table, which seem to be local flavors. Cheng Mo walked to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate it, it tasted good.

Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs like a vegetable market, men exclaimed, women screamed, and something kept hitting the ground and making a thudding sound.

Kuroko walked in quickly and said, "Ah Lang, there are a few men here, I don't know who they are searching for." ”

As soon as they stayed in the hotel, someone came to search, could the news leak so quickly?

Cheng Mo said: "You go and take a look." ”

Kuroko went out again. Cheng Mo slowly enjoyed the Yangzhou cuisine, and felt that the dishes here were sweet, which was very different from the dishes in Chang'an.

Ah Fei quietly went out and called the guards, and arranged to guard them outside, just in case, if those people really came for them, they would definitely be told that they would not return.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Cheng Mo smiled: "What are you afraid of?" Go and eat, too. ”

Ah Fei ordered to go down, and the guards were still divided into two shifts and took turns to eat.

Cheng Mo finished eating, the new guy came in and brought out the leftovers, and Heizi also came back, and said: "Ah Lang, there are four people in total, dressed up in green clothes and hats, I heard the guy say, these people are from the state pastor's mansion, and they want to find a handsome young man who is about twenty-one or twelve years old, and a horse with black hair and four snow-white hooves......"

Speaking of which, Huo Ran, the guard inside and outside the house, changed color, isn't this looking for his own Ah Lang?

Cheng Mo said quietly: "Then? ”

Then, while searching, the four men took the valuable things of the guests into their arms, and the guests reasoned with them, and they punched them, and two or three of them were injured. The guest's guards stepped forward to protect the lord, but they threatened him and did not dare to make a move. ”

Ah Fei said angrily: "The family of a small state pastor has run rampant so far, is there still a royal law?" ”

Heizi laughed angrily and said, "They say that Zhou Zhoumu is the king's law. ”

"It's the other way around. Ah Lang, look at ......" Ah Fei asked Cheng Mo if he wanted to teach Zhou Zheng's family a lesson, he really couldn't see it.

Cheng Mo said: "You take a few people to drive them away, so as not to disturb my peace." Heizi, you take a few people to Zhou Yushi's mansion to have a look, if he is in the mansion, invite him to come over. ”

"Now?" Kuroko accidental.

Cheng Mo said: "I'm worried that something will happen to him, otherwise we wouldn't have just entered the city, and we would have startled the snake." ”
