The Book of Heaven

Chapter 237 Man's Hobbies

Ma Zhao didn't change his habit after he officially "started to work". He still had that expressionless face, and eyes that were either sleepy or sharp like a beast.

Guarding the gate in the north courtyard is actually a very easy job.The Zhuge family, which has almost "occupied" Fangyi County, can be regarded as the top existence of the food chain in this world, not to mention the gate of the inner courtyard guarded by Ma Zhao, even the guards of the four main gates are always guarded. nothing to do.

As a guard, sometimes having nothing to do is more uncomfortable than having something to do. After all, it’s not easy to stand there as a human-shaped town house beast. It’s better to make a fuss about small things and pass the time.

Perhaps it was because of the peace over the years and the gate of the inner courtyard that no one partnered with Ma Zheng. Ma Zhao stood alone at the gate of the north courtyard for half a day every day, and there were no people who came in and out. A few will look at him more.

However, after having a "official" job, Ma Zhao's status in the west courtyard has also risen accordingly. Not only has the salary increased in all aspects, but more importantly, the title of "Jin Jingwei" has been recognized by everyone. The Jin Jingwei who works is Jin Jingwei, and the Jin Jingwei who has nothing to do is just a pig raised by Zhuge's family.

Although Ma Zhaoren looks a little stupid, but in fact he is open-minded, because he usually does not intrigue with others, so he spends more of his mind on other places.

For example, observing how the entire Zhuge family works, or eavesdropping on other people's conversations when they have nothing to do.

The childhood experience like "Tarzan of the Ape" cultivated Ma Zhao's excellent five senses. Just like his excellent physical fitness, these are the wealth bestowed on Ma Zhao by God, and Ma Zhao also paid unimaginable for ordinary people to obtain all these. cost.

With the unbelievable hearing ability of ordinary people, Ma Zhao can eavesdrop casually from 30 meters away without showing any expression on his face. Although he can always hear a lot of talk about him, he also hears a lot about Zhuge's family The inside story, especially when on duty at the gate of the North Campus, because ordinary people always have some misunderstandings of one kind or another, for example, when talking while walking, it seems that it is not easy to be heard by others.

When Ma Zhao was seriously "working" at Zhuge's house, Ma Zheng was not idle in Fangyi County either, and he had almost a clear understanding of the situation in Fangyi County in the past few days.Of course, this is not entirely due to Ma Zheng alone. Li Ping is a veteran of the Jianghu, and he knows many tricks in the Jianghu better than Ma Zheng.

As the seat of Suizhou, the original Fangyi County was not developed, and the entire Suizhou was designated as Xiazhou by the imperial court, which is a very bad kind. After all, the location of Bashu is too southwest. There used to be conflicts between nations for a long time.

As the empire's military power gradually reached its peak, the southwestern side gradually settled down. Of course, this kind of tranquility only indicated the kind of blatantly self-proclaimed king.The imperial court doesn't care about those small bandits and horse bandits. Even a village and a village make a living from it. As long as they don't occupy the height of righteousness, the imperial court can turn a blind eye to any things like tyranny Close one eye.

The situation in Fangyi County at the beginning can be imagined. If Zhuge's family hadn't moved here as a whole, Fangyi County might still be a remote town full of bandits.

The reason why the Zhuge family can occupy a quarter of the entire Fangyi County is because the original Fangyi County was not as big as the current Zhuge Family. At that time, the Zhuge Family was not in the city of Fangyi County. During the development, the successive county magistrates of Fangyi County continued to move the city wall closer to Zhuge's family from the perspective of safety. Finally, the Zhuge family was formally "merged" into Fangyi County almost 200 years ago, which led to the current situation.

It's no wonder that the court didn't care about the situation of Zhuge's family. There are historical reasons in itself.

And because of the existence of the Zhuge family, the population of Fangyi County has changed from less than 500 households [-] years ago to now there are still [-] households excluding the Zhuge family. Among them, the Zhuge family has contributed a lot. Fang Yixian's words are not wrong at all.

It is precisely because of this that almost [-]% of the permanent residents of Fangyi County have some kind of relationship with Zhuge's family. If it weren't for Ma Zheng still looking like a teenager, and Li Ping's proficient cliché skills, like The fact that the two of them were so desperately seeking information about Zhuge's family had already been reported.

Fortunately, Ma Zheng finally discovered this sign, and hurriedly called Li Ping to stop him, and stopped going out to inquire about the news. Normally, he just sat in a tea shop or restaurant and passively listened to the recent events.

Of course, the efficiency of this kind of passive receiving of information is not high, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. It can only be said that it is better than nothing. After digging through some of the collected information, Ma Zheng found that Zhuge's family seemed to have encountered some troubles recently.

"Recently, there have been a lot of raw material merchants in the city. Most of these merchants are very happy, as if they have won a lottery."

In the room, Ma Zheng used a stack of papers to classify the collected information and analyze them one by one. Li Ping was very surprised by this ability.

Talents like Ma Zheng who can extract and summarize useful information from chaotic information are not absent in the Han Empire. They are often either in the court or in the army. If the people above know that Ma Zheng has this ability, I am afraid that Ma Zhengqin has already been deposed as a prisoner, and he has been given benefits to let him work for the court.

"Do you think I look like someone willing to be disciplined?"

Regarding Li Ping's doubts, Ma Zheng did not hide anything. He pointed to the information he had just sorted out and reported: "I can now confirm that Zhuge's family is really in trouble. I don't know whether it is good or not. Bad, looks like I have to find a way to contact Ma Zhao tomorrow to see if he has any useful news from Zhuge's house."

"But Zhuge's house is not so easy to get in and out."

As a subordinate, Li Ping didn't ask Zhuge's family what the troubles were. He was very dedicated to straighten out his angle - to solve problems for the master.

"I'm afraid I need you to help me solve this problem. After all, my features are too obvious. Once I appear near Zhuge's house, I may be recognized by others."

Ma Zheng's characteristic is actually that he is young and has high martial arts skills. It's okay if he doesn't do it. If he does, Zhuge's family will definitely think of him. Although Ma Zheng is not worried about his identity being exposed now, after all, some things are easy to deal with up.

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. The money I spent every day is not in vain. At least I got involved with some of the guards of Zhuge's family."

The guards of Zhuge's family are also human beings, men, and men are often inseparable from two hobbies, wine and sex.

As long as he works hard in these two aspects, Li Ping will never return empty-handed.

Zhuge's house may be able to solve men's habit of drinking, but it is absolutely impossible to solve the hobby of "sex". Even if Zhuge's family has the ability to solve some men's habits in this aspect, it is impossible to solve all of them.

So there are many courtyards and pavilions in Fangyi County, which are dedicated to the men of Zhuge's family.
