Chapter 43

Amid the sound of frogs, the sun rises.

"There are some things we have to talk about first." Zhang Xing looked at the frog in Jing'an Terrace's Jishuitan who jumped into the main room without fear of anyone, picked up the hot porridge bowl, and suddenly spoke inexplicably. "Mother Fen, at your age, you should be sensible. Seeing that you were crying yesterday, you must be sensible... Let me ask you straight away. Do you know that your father will definitely die?"

Qin Bao on the opposite side of the table was surprised for a moment, and wanted to put down the porridge bowl to say something.

Unexpectedly, Fenniang, who was wearing an apron, was simply surprised: "I know."

"And here you are, let's be fair, the superiors and those noble people may not really care about it, and they even mean to show their noble hands, but if they are really taken seriously and show their heads, they will definitely die." Zhang Xing held the porridge , continue to speak coldly. "When the time comes, not only will you die, but Qin Bao and I won't be able to run away... You also know this truth, right?"

"I know." Fenniang grabbed the apron, still straightforward.

"Then let's make an agreement in three chapters." Zhang Xing nodded in agreement, his tone indifferent. "First, don't show your face in public without authorization; second, if you meet someone, you have to say it's Qin Erlang's distant cousin. The Central Plains was hit by a disaster and your family was broken, so find Erlang to ask for a way out; third, you'd better So I can change my clothes, pull my hair, and even think of a new name... okay?"

"The new name is easy to handle. You can call it whatever you want." Fenniang thought for a while, but she still didn't hesitate. "But if I don't show my face, how can I buy rice, noodles, and firewood? The firewood is all wet, the noodles are moldy, and even the stables in the backyard are flooded and collapsed."

"I came to buy it with Qin Bao." Zhang Xing looked at Qin Bao while speaking, with a serious tone. "Qin Erlang, you will move here today... From now on, you will live in the east courtyard, I will live in the west courtyard, and she will live in the backyard and raise horses, and share the kitchen in the main room... You can move later, and after moving and repairing the stables, I will go Shopping at Cross Street."

Qin Bao nodded his head in a panic. In the rhythm of these two people, he obviously didn't match up.

"So what's my name?" Fenniang turned to leave, and then asked back on the threshold.

"Call it Liniang." Zhang Xing glanced at the "Biography of the Heroine Li Yue" that he had placed in the main room before, and almost perfunctorily chose a vulgar name.

"Can't I be called Yueniang?" Fenniang followed the other person's eyes and scanned the book, making an active fight for herself. "I heard a lecturer on "The Biography of Li Yue" in Shizijie, Fangli."

"Then call it Yueniang." Zhang Xing didn't bother to care about it at all.

In this way, it was not until noon that Zhang Xingcai and Qin Bao finished solving the mess at home, and then they rode on the official horses, and together they went slowly to Jing'an Terrace, which is only one sky street and a pool of water away from Chengfufang. .

After entering Taichung, the place is still in chaos - the casualties in Zhengpingfang yesterday, the major case of Minister of Justice being beheaded in the street, and the chaotic organization situation where many people are still staying behind in various workshops in Nancheng all make the island look like a mess. Chaos and disorder.

Zhang Xing, Qin Bao and the others searched for a long time before they slowly joined Qian Tang, Li Qingchen and the others, but they still couldn't see Bai Yousi.

However, in the afternoon, with the news that Zhongcheng had returned from Nanya, the order on the island gradually stabilized.

Then, amidst the croaking of frogs in the surrounding pools, Zhu Shou and Hei Shou came out from the black tower one after another, and conveyed orders one after another. With the conveyance of these orders, the affairs of the entire Eastern Capital City seemed to be in full swing. Develop towards a state of relaxation:
All squares in Nancheng were evacuated on the spot and the search was stopped;
Zhengpingfang made great efforts to deal with the aftermath;
The assassination case is strictly forbidden to discuss, and the relevant criminals were captured in the prison under the black tower.

Of course, there is another order that is more humane. From the next day onwards, each regular group and patrol group will be divided into three teams, and they will take turns to take turns to take rest until there is an emergency, otherwise it will continue until the next day. The hottest month of the month.

Hearing this order, Zhang Xing already understood that the death of Zhang Wenda should have quickly led to the decision-making at the highest level. As for whether the decision-making is slow or urgent, strict or loose, it may not be easy to say... But after all, there is no need to game and drag, Let these pawns be wasted.

"Did you go to see your Fangzhu landlord yesterday?"

There was an arrangement at the top, and as the person in charge, Bai Yousi would of course come to dispatch and appease the scouts who had gone through those things yesterday, but when it was Zhang Xing's turn, she was the first to mention what happened after the separation yesterday.

Of course, it's not a surprise.

"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded and asked sincerely. "Didn't you cause trouble for the inspection?"

"No." Bai Yousi shook his head slowly. "People really look down on those who are ungrateful... Besides, Chai Changjian was always in person during the conversation yesterday. With him as a guarantee, no one can say a word."

"Did Chai Changjian talk to the patrol inspector?" Zhang Xing was a little surprised.

"Yes." Bai Yousi nodded and said casually. "Chai Changjian is the old Zhu Shou. He is usually gentle. He is trusted by Zhongcheng and supports the young people. Everyone respects him."

"Last time, he investigated the case with all his heart and avenged my wrongdoing." Zhang Xing naturally nodded again and again, but suddenly asked. "Inspector, do you want me to thank you?"

Bai Yousi was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other party: "Are you going to thank Chai Changjian?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing looked calm. "Is there something wrong?"

"No." Bai Yousi glanced at the other party, shook his head and laughed. "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Then dare to ask the inspector, does Chai Changjian have any hobbies?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask.

"He likes..." Amidst the croaking of frogs all over the island, Bai Yousi thought hesitantly. "He likes books and gold stones."

"Books and stones are expensive, right?"

"Yes."

"Can the inspector lend me some money?" Zhang Xing became more sincere.

"Zhang Xing, what's the matter with you?" Bai Yousi finally didn't bother to cover up. "Did what happened yesterday give you the idea of ​​changing your family? Is it because I can't protect you anymore? Or is it frightened and you're going to find firewood for regular checkups? If it's the latter, you can just say it and I'll take care of you. Settle down."

For a while, not only Bai Yousi, but also other patrolling riders in the group came to watch.

"I think too much about the inspection." Zhang Xing met with his arms folded, his words calm. "It's not the first time I've seen such a situation, how dare I talk about it... It's even the opposite. Yesterday, the big people came and went, and now the clouds are clear. I also want to learn how to cry like a frog in this pond, and achieve success." something."

"then you……"

"I want to ask Chai Changjian about Jing'antai's constant rules, how to get promoted, and how to operate the career economy." Zhang Xing answered simply. "It was so clear yesterday that you are not even an official, so you are not a person. How can you do anything? The reason why you want to go the way of Chai Changjian is because you know that the inspection is a free and easy way. If you ask the inspection to ask, I am afraid it will end up in the end." Not good...inspection, how do you think I can achieve white ribbon without leaving the inspection team?"

"You're overthinking, what's your career?" Bai Yousi looked him up and down, with a strange tone. "Jing'an Terrace is full of practitioners, and there are hard rules... Unless you have special honors to transfer to the Black Tower as a clerk, this has just been rejected... Otherwise, you must get through the sixth main channel and go out for a tour. , and the meritorious deeds on weekdays are enough to convince people's hearts, so that you can add a white ribbon, have you got through your sixth main channel?"

Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and then said: "It's almost there, when are we going to go on tour?"

Bai Yousi was rarely surprised.

PS: Thanks to the new leader who lost half of his classmates who came to farm, everyone, continue to be happy on New Year's Day.
