Chapter 67
"Every three days, the Wucheng Bingma Division collates the dendrobium buckets and scales in the market, checks the names of the teethers, and checks their prices. The original intention of the Wucheng Bingma Division is like the New Deal implemented by the dynasties. The intentions are good, when there is flooding in the streets and alleys of the capital, and there are thieves, they respond immediately. The five city soldiers and horses never charge a penny for performing duties such as firefighting and night watch, and they are clean and honest."

Sun Chuanting shook his head when he said this, and he inevitably talked about a cliché: "Every new policy, after a long time, there will be problems in the metropolis. Now he has become a bandit, exploiting the common people by giving convenience to Liu E’s first-class ruffians, and from being praised by everyone at the beginning, he has become unpopular now.”

Li Mian likes to avoid future troubles in his work. Not long after he came back from the Caochangyuan, he found Sun Chuanting by the Jinshui River to learn about the Wucheng Bingmasi and the Caochangyuan.

Now that he has formed a bond with Liu Eitou, he can't wait for the other party to come to his door, and then involve a series of incidents.

Li Mian likes to strike first, to nip out all signs of disaster before it happens.

To deal with a desperado like Liu Eitou, there should be no hidden dangers.

As long as he is given any chance to breathe, Li Mian's future situation will be like a knife hanging over his head.

No one knew where Liu Eitou would suddenly appear, risking his life, dragging Li Mian to his death.

If Li Mian wanted to completely solve Liu Eitou, the first thing he had to do was sort out the relationship behind him.

Li Mian put a few pennies on the white bean curd stand, and helped Sun Chuanting pay for the tofu flower: "It seems that this meal of tofu flower is not for nothing, and I got a lot of useful information, which is very helpful to me." .”

Sun Chuanting put down the blue and white glazed porcelain bowl in his hand, raised his head and said, "Of course I didn't invite Sun to eat a bowl of tofu flowers for nothing. From your tone, it should be to deal with Liu Goose. He is not an ordinary scumbag." , There are all kinds of intertwined relationships behind him, and Sun feels helpless when he thinks of those relationships, this time I want to see what kind of method you have, which can solve the long-standing malpractice of Caochangyuan."

When the word "bad government" was mentioned, Sun Gong and Yuan Gong also became interested, and focused on Li Mian who was next to him.

The bad governance of the past 100 years since the founding of the country cannot be easily eradicated by any one person. The Caochangyuan matter seems to be a trivial matter, but it is still very difficult in the hands of the cabinet ministers.

Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory, encountered the bad government of the Caochangyuan, and there was only one solution, which was to join forces.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong saw that Li Mian was determined to deal with Liu Eitou, and they smiled with relief. While they regarded him as Lengtouqing, they also believed that he, like Sun Chuanting, was dedicated to the country.

It's just because of his birth, Li Mian didn't have the support of his elders who had been officials for generations, and he didn't know how much money from the yamen was involved in Caochangyuan, which had gathered a large number of private prostitutes.

Just when Sun Chuanting wanted to say a few more words, to be the elder in the officialdom who supported Li Mian, so that his future master Qian Liang would not be rebuffed in the officialdom, and he would become disheartened and no longer care about the court affairs.

An official wearing a blue official uniform and embroidered with a bear patch sat on a small tofu stall.

Next to him was an acquaintance, it was Liu Eitou who made a beam in the grass yard.

Li Mian was quite familiar with all kinds of messy court uniforms in the officialdom. From his blue official uniform, it could be seen that he was an official of the fifth rank to the seventh rank.

The Buzi in the official uniform is Xiong Gubuzi, which not only shows his rank, but also shows that he is a military officer.

The fifth-rank civil servants use white pheasant supplements, and the fifth-rank military officers use Xiongfu supplements.

Judging from his cyan Xiongbubuzi official uniform, the official position he holds is Qianhu of the fifth rank, or deputy Qianhu of the fifth rank.

There are many military officers in the capital who know Sun Chuanting, but he doesn't know many military officers. It's not that he doesn't want to know him, but he doesn't like him.

Coincidentally, Sun Chuanting happened to know this military officer, took a look at Li Mian, shut his mouth and didn't speak, and didn't say what he was going to warn Li Mian next.

Some people will say, don't waste your tongue.

This military officer is none other than Lu Guangzu standing behind Liu Goose's head.

The reason why Sun Chuanting knew Lu Guangzu, the deputy thousand householder, was very simple. He seemed to be just a deputy thousand householder, but he was a member of Liaoxi generals and belonged to Li Chengliang's old department.

Liu Eitou brought a few sticks to the tofu flower stand, and was about to drive away the common people who were eating tofu flower, but was stopped by Lu Guangzu.

As Li Chengliang's former subordinate, Lu Guangzu knew Sun Gong and Yuan Gong. Although he was surprised that the two border governors would come to the Jinshui River to eat some common people's food, he hurriedly stopped Liu Etou.

He didn't dare to disturb Sun Gong and Yuan Gong, so he picked up a small bamboo stick and sat a little further away.

It happened to be close to Sun Chuanting and Li Mian, they were not far apart, only a few steps away.

Liu Eitou recognized Li Mian, and saw that he didn't go to Jiaofangsi to indulge in luxury, but sat by the Jinshui River and ate some tofu flowers that ordinary people in the market would eat. The rest is confident.

Liu Eitou was still secretly regretting that he hadn't been polite to him back then, so that Qin Liangyu and her mother ran away.

However, it doesn't matter, I already know that the official and gentry boy I met in Caochangyuan was not a high-ranking official's son, and there will be opportunities to deal with him in the future.

The most urgent matter for Liu Eitou at the moment involves a dignitary in the capital, and he said anxiously: "The female officer next to Princess Changping has released the news that she is going to rectify the Caochangyuan, and the villain will wait for everyone. They expelled all Gun Qingshou from the Caochangyuan. The villain was given three days, if he did not leave from the Caochangyuan, he would be imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion Prison."

Today is the day of collating Hudou. Lu Guangzu came here today for the floating income of Qipan Street, and the other thing is to solve what Liu Eitou said about Princess Changping's rectification of the grass yard, so as to give Liu Eitou and others a reassurance.

Lu Guangzu turned his head and glanced at Sun Chuanting next to him. He knew his true identity, but he didn't have any taboos.

He shook his head, picked up a bowl of tofu flower, ate two mouthfuls, and said slowly: "There are already fixed markets in the capital that can bring a lot of money. Qipan Street is full of department stores, and it is the largest in the capital." Street market. Chongwenmen is the end of the canal, where thousands of coolie waterworkers and businessmen of all kinds gathered. There are also Chenghuangmiao Market and Dong'anmen Inner Market. One is for antiques, The other place is to buy and sell high-end goods such as spices, Dongzhu, and Ning silk."
