Night falls.

The light from the candlestick on the desk reflected on Qin Qiong's face, reflecting his haggard face.

"How's the investigation on Kunming Lake going?"

Qin Yong looked at his adoptive father with some worry, "Father, I secretly investigated carefully and followed the clue that Donggong led Gengcheng Wangzhi to investigate. Sure enough, I found the problem. The prince is indeed plotting to change the Kunming Lake. Everything is as it should be." Saburo said."

"I didn't expect that." Qin Qiong shook his head and sighed. "I can't even understand why the prince insisted on killing King Qin, and even killed all the generals in Prince Qin's residence.

"Father, what Sanlang said is correct. The crown prince and the King of Qin are already in an unending situation. Even if His Majesty said that he would relocate the King of Qin to Shu, the Crown Prince still can't rest assured. Even if the King of Qin arrives in Shu, as long as he does not die for a day , with his prestige and ability as a commander, sooner or later he will be a serious problem for the crown prince."

Qin Qiong asked back, "But he is the prince. If he conspires to kill King Qin, it will be brotherly brotherhood, which is inhumane. How can such a prince rule the world in the future and create a peaceful and prosperous world?"

Qin Yong bowed his head and remained silent. In his opinion, the royal family's infighting has always been tragic. There is no such thing as benevolence, only winning and losing.

"What did Sanlang do today?" Qin Qiong asked again.

"Sanlang took office in the Chang'an county government. It took less than half an hour to solve the case of Guo Yuanwai, the Ministry of Rites, who was poisoned and stolen by a maidservant. I went to Chang’an County Prison, and now I’m taking a group of subordinates and some street shop Wuhou to drink in Pingkangfang. I don’t think I’ll be back tonight. By the way, Saburo also spent 180 guan in Yong’anfang Bought a two-acre house, which was sold by a senior official..."

Qin Qiong shook her head.

"Listen to what you said just now, this little bastard is still restless, and his behavior is too high-profile. Pingkang Square entertains bad people, Wuhou, jailers, and even Chang'an rangers and street rascals. These are too ostentatious. Could it be that others Can't tell that he is buying people's hearts, or even recruiting people? He is a Chang'an county lieutenant, and he acts like this on the first day he takes office, so he is not afraid of Yushitai's impeachment?"

"Perhaps because time is too tight, Saburo took such risks."

Qin Qiong sighed, "After all, he is still too young. How can others not see him doing things like this? Gao Shilian and Xu Jingzong are both from the King of Qin. He became the county captain of Chang'an because of his relationship. Who would not know who Qin Lang is? King Qin's people? He's trying to recruit people everywhere, who can't see his intentions?"

"What should I do?"

Qin Qiong was silent.

The prince was already very dissatisfied with the Qin family's refusal to marry the Zheng family, and he began to doubt Qin Qiong. At this time, Qin Lang was still ostentatious outside, so the prince would definitely be even more suspicious.

Originally, he, Qin Qiong, claimed to be a minister of the state, so the crown prince was not afraid of dissatisfaction with him, but now that Qin Lang is such a flirtatious kid, he is afraid that Donggong will make a move.

"Hey, don't worry."

"If Donggong makes a move clearly, I can still come forward to protect Yihu, but I am afraid that Donggong will use black hands and black tricks, Qin Yong."

"Father, the child is here."

Qin Qiong patted Qin Yong's shoulder, "Although Sanlang has Ah Huang by his side, I'm still not at ease. Go and help me take care of it secretly."

In Zhangtai Pavilion.

The news that Liu Jiu came out quickly spread to the ears of the original brothers, and even if they fell asleep, they all put on their clothes and hurried over to see him.

In the backyard of the pavilion, Qin Lang saw the prestige of Liu Jiu, the former hero of Chang'an. In the dark night, hundreds of people came to visit him one after another.

Liu Jiu hugged these brothers one by one.

"Did Fang Zheng and Fang Ding pay their attention?" Liu Jiu asked.

"Don't worry, Nine Brothers, our Pingkang Square is no different than other squares. It is always more lively at night, not to mention that we have taken root in Pingkang Square for several years. There is nowhere to go up and down in this square. We are not popular and If you don’t kill people and set fires, everyone in the workshop will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and the patrols on the left and right of Yushitai are even less likely to know.” A burly man laughed.

Public security in Chang'an is mainly under the control of three yamen. The first is the Yongzhou yamen and the Chang'an and Wannian counties under it. Bad people are mainly responsible.The second is the left and right street envoys of the left and right waiting guards. The Wuhous of each street shop and the Yiweis of the Yifu Zhonglang Jiangfu of the left and right waiting guards patrol the streets.

The second is the left and right patrols of Yushitai.

But there is also a division of labor. For example, the left and right patrols of Yushitai are the main ones in the square, and the left and right street envoys of the left and right guards are responsible for the streets.

Yongzhou yamen streets and squares are in charge.

Facing these old brothers, Liu Jiu's face was full of red, and he had the aura of a big brother in the rivers and lakes. He introduced Qin Lang to everyone, and only said that Qin Lang was his benefactor, and that he was currently working secretly for Qin Lang, so his identity was temporary. It can't be exposed yet, and let everyone listen to Qin Lang in the future.

Without saying a word, these sturdy men bowed their heads.

To this group of sturdy social people, Qin Lang didn't say a word, and directly paid for gold.Compared with empty promises, Qin Lang believed that Huang Chengcheng's gold would be more effective immediately if they put it in their hands.

Sure enough, the morale of these people soared.

Liu Jiu also strikes while the iron is hot, "Everyone is ready to do things when they go back, prepare more, sharpen their knives faster, and those who can defend themselves are also ready and ready to call at any time."

"As long as the big brother gives an order, the brothers can fuck guys at any time, no matter who they want to do, we can fight wherever the big brother says."

Although this group of men from the frontier fortress have been in Chang'an for several years and are no longer young, they still have a wild and fierce heart in their bones.

They are aliens among the rangers in Chang'an, they are outsiders, but they are as fierce as flat-headed brothers.

"Okay, everyone took the gold and went back to settle down with their wives and children first, and then prepare everything for the guy. Afterwards, we will never treat everyone badly."

"Brother, why should you say such polite words to your brothers? No matter whether you are going up the mountain of swords or down the sea of ​​fire, as long as you say a word, the brothers will not frown. Whoever frowns, he is not a brother!"

Qin Lang said with a smile, "Let's go, drink a lot, eat a lot of meat, turn around, let's divide the money again!"

These simple words made those people very appetizing.

The old bustard stood in the pavilion with a pained look on his face.

The young Chang'an county captain was very generous, just a few ingots of gold, if ten taels is not enough, then 20 taels, if 20 taels is not enough, just 50 taels.

Although in Zhangtai Pavilion there is a girl named Yu Xuanji who is popular in Chang'an on weekdays, and the pavilion entertains those dignitaries and dignitaries every now and then, holds receptions, and even Yu Xuanji is often invited to the residences of those relatives, but there is really no one better than this The young county lieutenant was even more forthright and generous.

It’s just that although gold is good, there have been two or three hundred people coming to this pavilion one after another. At the beginning, there were only a few dozen, but you call friends to him to call friends. The place where heroes and villains gather.

At this moment, Zhangtai Pavilion is as messy as a vegetable stall and butcher's shop. Those vulgar men are punching, drinking and yelling loudly. This is not like the most famous trickster in Chang'an.

Today that reputation is ruined.

But the bustard looked at Lin San, then at Liu Jiu next to him, and then at the smiling County Captain Qin, she couldn't afford to offend any of them.

Liu Jiucai is the master behind Zhangtai Pavilion, and Lin San is the well-known gang leader in Pingkangfang, and he and his brothers are all under his protection on weekdays, not to mention that the young county lieutenant is still the son of a prince.

The three of them sat there, and the old bustard could only weep while taking the gold.

On the opposite side of the Xiaoxiang restaurant, a handsome young man was sitting there, but she ordered a lot of food and drinks, and called two girls, but she didn't hug each other, didn't eat or drink, and didn't even think about being in the restaurant. Sitting on the female singer and dancer girl, she was sitting by the window, her eyes were fixed on the opposite Zhangtai Pavilion.

upstairs.

The girls' school Shu Yuxiao is entertaining a table of distinguished guests, and the host is Chang'an nobleman Shao Chai Lingwu. He is not only the son of a famous father, but also a relative of the emperor. His father Chai Shao is Huo Guogong and You Xiaowei General, and his mother is Pingyang Princess Zhao.

As the son of a princess, even though he is the second son, he was born extremely noble.The Chai family was originally a general of Guanlong. His father Chai Shao was the prince Qianniu when he was young, and he was also a famous young man in Chang'an.Chai Lingwu also has the style of his father, and now he works as the personal guard of the Zuofu. He usually likes to make friends with dudes and rich men from Wuling. Come for a drink.

Chai Lingwu was not in a good mood today, because the horse stepped on the crops while hunting, and he was sued by the censor, reprimanded and fined by the emperor's grandfather.

If you are in a bad mood, drink two more glasses.

"Pour wine!"

Chai Lingwu shouted a few words, but Yuxiao didn't respond either.

"You lowly prostitute, how dare you neglect me?" Chai Lingwu, who was half drunk, was not happy when he saw that Yuxiao was in a daze, and his eyes kept looking at the other side.

But at this time, there were still people fanning the flames there, "I heard that the girls' school secretary has been fighting fiercely with Qin San of the Duke of Yi's mansion recently, but tonight Qin San booked the Zhangtai Pavilion opposite to have a big banquet with friends In Yu Xuanji's place, the girls' school teacher seems to be sad."

"Bitch!" Chai Lingwu couldn't hold back his face. He was the son of a dignified princess, and his father was also a Duke and a general. What's more, he was still the first son. How could a concubine from a nouveau riche like the Qin family compare with him?

He had long coveted Yuxiao's beauty, and often called friends to join him, but this Yuxiao was very well-handled, and always looked superior. Although the disciple of Chai Ling's military commander, although he was a relative of the emperor, he really didn't have much ink in his stomach , so Yuxiao didn't like him too much.

On weekdays, Chai Lingwu might be arty and generous, and would laugh off Yuxiao's rudeness, but tonight he just felt that everything was not going well, and there was a fire burning in his heart.

Seeing Yuxiao's cold expression, her snow-white neck exposed under her blue cloak, and the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

He couldn't contain his anger.

"One hundred taels of silver collar, I'll stay at your place tonight and hang clothes for you. I'm going to pick flowers tonight." Chai Lingwu said to Yuxiao, breathing heavily on his alcohol.

A group of dandies couldn't help shouting in unison, they were so drunk that they all wanted to see how Chai Lingwu took the lead.

Picking flowers is a jargon in the brothel, which refers to taking the other party's head for the first time, and living in a house refers to staying in a woman's room. Hanging clothes means sleeping together, and shop hall is also called combing.

For those famous prostitutes, before they are laid to bed for the first time, they have to hold a grand shop ceremony, which is just like a formal marriage outside. After going through the whole set of etiquette steps, they also invite friends to watch the ceremony together, which naturally costs a lot.

Yuxiao is a famous female schoolgirl in Chang'an, she is the top female prostitute, she is a performer, but now Chai Lingwu wants to hang clothes in the hall, pick flowers and live in the bureau, this is to disregard the rules and try to dominate up.
