Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 65 Re-entry into Kaifeng Mansion
The lid of the tall bamboo drawer was lifted, and the scalding hot air suddenly steamed up and curled up.

The white stuffed steamed stuffed buns have [-] big pleats, they are delicious and hot, and they are round and bulging, exuding a craving meaty smell.

Xin Ziqiu squatted on the side of the street with a grin, holding a basket of steamed buns in his hand, his face flushed and his mouth dripping with oil, regardless of his own image.

Puffing and puffing, after eating seven big buns in one go, he licked his mouth unsatisfied, got up and said loudly to the stall owner:
"Uncle, another drawer of buns!"

……

This place was introduced to him by Su Shi on the road yesterday. It is not far from Fengyamen, and many officials and arresters would come here for breakfast.

The foodie brother really has a good eye, and his reputation is well-deserved. Although the stall he recommends is inconspicuous, the buns sold are thin and filling, fragrant and glutinous, which makes Xin Ziqiu feast on them.

After eating his breakfast, he strode toward the Kaifeng government office.

……

In September, the autumn is crisp and the sun is shining brightly.

Bianliang City is as lively as ever.

Just after Maoshi, the number of people on the avenue began to increase.

There are also two rows of small stalls on the side of the road densely packed, there are those who sell calligraphy and paintings, those who measure fortune-telling, and jugglers, and there are shouts and bargaining arguments everywhere.

Xin Ziqiu walked on the busy street, holding a few candied hawthorns and candied fruit snacks in his hands, feeling the joy of being a foodie, and his steps became easier.

He has made great progress in martial arts now, and he has a lot of confidence, especially at this time, Xuanming is sitting in Bianliang City. Although she did not follow him, this kind of master will definitely come to protect him in time if there is any trouble.

Speaking of which, even though he has not yet had enough reasons to prove that Xuan Ming is an enemy or a friend, but facing her, there is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and he feels very safe by her side.

Maybe it was because she claimed to be her father's friend.

Thinking about things, before he knew it, he came to Nanya Kaifeng Mansion again.

Although it was morning, there was already a queue like a long queue in front of the main hall of the government office, all of them were people who came to avenge their grievances and report the crime.

In Bianliang, Tokyo, with a household registration of over one million, there are countless things that happen every day. Although there are many officials in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is difficult to deal with them. Most of the small cases can only be backlogged on the files of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Xin Ziqiu didn't know the way, so he went straight to the guard and asked:
"Uncle, I'm here to find General Xu San."

The officer was not on duty yesterday and had never seen Xin Ziqiu before. He squinted his eyes and looked at him. Seeing that he was only a teenager, he straightened his face and asked:
"Who sent you? Is there a famous post?"

He saw that Xin Ziqiu was young and dressed in plain clothes, so he thought it was a young servant who came to visit the door for his master, but he didn't take it seriously.

Xin Ziqiu looked bewildered, where did he find any famous posts, shook his head and said:

"I'm a friend of General Xu San. My name is Xin Ziqiu. He knows me. Uncle, please report."

The officer snorted and reprimanded impatiently:

"You just say that you are a friend of General Xu San. If everyone says that, do I have to put everyone in it? If you don't have a name card, just go away."

"Hey, how do you talk?"

Xin Ziqiu stared and was about to explode on the spot.I was polite and didn't offend him, so why did I speak so badly?
Although the rank of the official is not high, he is just a sentry on guard, but this is a feudal society, there is a difference between officials and people, ordinary people should respect him when they see him, and they are used to being pampered.

Now seeing a teenager who dared to stare at him, he frowned and shouted:

"What are you talking about? If you keep yelling here again, be careful that I will lock you up."

Xin Ziqiu was about to argue with the other party when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Looking up, he was overjoyed, it turned out that the person who called him was Jiang Ping, Jiang Siye, the Fanjiang Mouse he had seen yesterday.

Seeing the senior coming, he hurried forward to salute, only to hear Jiang Ping say with a smile:
"Xiaoqiu, it's really you. You did a great job last night. So many of us searched everywhere for Miss Yang Jinhua, but all of us returned in vain. I didn't expect to be saved by you. Without you, Mr. Bao's black hat might It’s almost impossible to keep it. On behalf of all the knights in Kaifeng Mansion, I would like to thank you.”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xin Ziqiu.

How could Xin Ziqiu accept his gift, so he quickly bowed and said:

"Fourth Uncle Jiang is too polite. This is just a mistake. It's just luck."

It turned out that Jiang Ping was resentful at the time because Yang Paifeng pointed his nose and scolded him in front of everyone because he said some sarcastic remarks in Kaifeng Mansion yesterday, but after thinking about it later, he also felt that he was a little bit wrong.

Although he likes to run on people, he is a chivalrous person after all, and he is still warm-hearted. He heard that Yang Jinhua was really lost, so he searched harder than others, but he found nothing in the end of the day. Instead, his old bones were exhausted. There was a fight.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Tianbo Mansion sent someone to explain the situation, Jiang Ping let go of his hanging heart, took a rest in his own residence for a while, couldn't sleep, so he came out to get some air, and happened to meet Xin Ziqiu.

Seeing that Xin Ziqiu was in high spirits, more energetic than yesterday, and even took off the bandage wrapped around his left arm, he couldn't help being surprised.

Didn't Tianbo Mansion say that Xin Xiaoyi, who rescued Yang Jinhua, was seriously injured?
He didn't know the magic of the Whirling World's healing technique, but he didn't think too much about it. Since Xin Ziqiu was not injured, it was a good thing, so he asked casually:

"Xiaoqiu, you came to Kaifeng mansion early in the morning, did you solve the calculation problem given by Mr. Bao?"

Xin Ziqiu smiled:
"How can it be so fast, but I have some clues. Within a month, I will definitely be able to give Mr. Bao an explanation. I am here this time to discuss with your old man and ask for an errand in Kaifeng Mansion."

Jiang Ping had recruited him yesterday, but seeing that Xin Ziqiu didn't seem to want to be an official, he didn't say much.

Who would have thought that this kid came here again today, but his attitude has taken a 180-degree turn.

He is a person who cherishes talents. Although he was a little confused, he still patted Xin Ziqiu on the shoulder and said:

"Young man is capable of literary and martial arts. He is really a formidable young man. Don't worry, this matter is trivial and rests on the fourth uncle. Since you are here, come in and have a seat and get closer to the little brothers."

Xin Ziqiu had nothing to do, so he followed Jiang Ping to the inner hall, and before leaving, he deliberately gave the officer at the door a meaningful look.

The official who had watched Xin Ziqiu and Jiang Ping so acquainted, and heard that even Mr. Bao had something to do with this young man whether he lost his black hat or not, couldn't help being terrified.

Especially Xin Ziqiu's glance before he left scared him out of his wits, and his face turned pale. He guessed that this young man had already hated him, and when he became an official in Kaifeng Mansion in the future, he didn't know what kind of vicious means he would arrange. he.

It's over, I've offended a big shot, what should I do...

What Xin Ziqiu wanted was this kind of effect, but one look was enough, so he didn't bother to argue with such a small person.

After following Jiang Ping into the inner hall, he saw several young people in their 30s sitting inside, drinking tea and chatting, and all of them were in high spirits.

He had never seen these people before, but he could guess from their faces that they were Xiao Wuyi's knights, but Xu Liang was the only one missing.

Jiang Ping smiled and said to everyone:
"Children, let me introduce you. This is the little martyr Xin Ziqiu. You have heard about it. If he hadn't saved the young lady of the Yang family yesterday, we men would still be running outside now. Hurry up, everyone Come and get to know each other."

After hearing the words, several people stood up and greeted Xin Ziqiu one after another. Jiang Ping was about to introduce them one by one, when suddenly a policeman from Kaifeng Mansion rushed in and shouted loudly:
"Master Jiang! There is something important to report!"

The man ran fast and fast, sweating profusely from exhaustion, stumbled at the threshold, staggered a few steps, rushed into the inner hall, and came straight to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping recognized that this was Fang Bao, an official under Xu Liang, and seeing his panicked expression, he frowned and asked:
"What's the matter? In a panic?"
