Chang'an, Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Master Song, my student Fu Qian is the son of the magistrate of Yangzhou. He has passed the imperial examination and entered the capital, so he will stay in the capital city of Chang'an. I hope that Master Song will support and take care of him in the future."

"Hahahaha, it's easy to talk about. Master Fu and I are Jinshi in the same discipline. We are both disciples of the emperor. Naturally, the son of an old friend will bring blessings."

In the hall, an old man and a young man were having a conversation.

The young man who called himself Fu Qian was Jiang Youan who had escaped by pretending to be dead through a human skin mask.

Then he suddenly became the illegitimate son of the Yangzhou magistrate.

Now he is wearing a human skin mask, but Jiang Youan's shadow can still be seen between his eyebrows.

It's a coincidence that after being discovered by Jiang You'an, Fu Qian secretly listed him as a way out for him in the future.

The middle-aged man in front of him is called Song Yi. He is the governor of Jingzhao in Chang'an City and the highest official in charge of public security in the capital.

"Old Huang, why don't you bring the gift quickly?"

Ghost Hand Huang did not wear a human skin mask, but he always looked unkempt in the past. Now that he is clean and clean, and puts on clean clothes, he seems to be a different person.

But now that he has become Fu Qian's old servant, he naturally has to be called Lao Huang.

Lao Huang came up with a long brocade box respectfully held in both hands. After Jiang Youan took it, he gave it to Song Yi.

"My dear nephew, I cannot accept this gift. Jinnian is your father. It would be unbecoming for me to accept this gift. If I say it, I will make others laugh."

"Uncle Song, ordinary people will bring melons, fruits, rice and millet when visiting their elders. Uncle Song just needs to treat my gift as ordinary melons and fruits."

Song Yi looked at Fu Qian, then at the box in front of him, and finally took it and opened it on the spot.

The moment he saw the scroll, he suppressed the smile on his face and solemnly asked: "Is this the picture of hundreds of horses painted by Shi Bi in the capital of the previous dynasty?"

"It was exactly this picture. This picture was acquired by my father by chance. When the student was chatting with his father, he learned that Uncle Song liked to collect everyone's works, so he asked for this picture and brought it to the capital specifically as a gift to Uncle Song."

"My good nephew is interested. If it were for something else, I might still refuse, but if it's a painting by everyone, then it would be hard for me to say my rejection, hahaha."

Seeing Song Yi smile, Fu Qian also laughed too.

And seeing his master smiling, Lao Huang also laughed beside him.

Chang'an City, Fu Mansion, Chang'an County.

Yu Ruozheng was leaning on Fu Qian's body, peeling the grapes, and then put them into Fu Qian's mouth.

Yu Ruo is the new oiran that Fu Qian took away from Fengyue Tower.

That day Fu Qian took Lao Huang into Fengyue Tower.

Then he shouted, "I am Fu Qian, the son of the magistrate of Yangzhou, and I want this oiran!" No one dared to bid again.

Because everyone knows that the magistrate of Yangzhou is the most influential person in the entire Yangzhou city besides Tianyi Palace.

Now that no one from Tianyi Palace is here, the illegitimate son newly recognized by Master Fu is the one who speaks with the most weight at the scene.

But as the son of a prefect, Fu Qian was not short of money and spent a lot of money to buy the oiran Yuruo on the spot.

It's natural for a beautiful woman to spend the night together.

The next day, on Fu Qian's way to the capital, there was a woman named Yu Ruo.

At this time, their residence was the house bought by Fu Qian's father, Fu Jinnian, in the capital.

"Yuruo, what do you think of Chang'an City?"

Yu Ruo was extremely well-behaved, and her lovely Qiong nose twitched: "Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world."

"So how does it compare with Yangzhou?"

"In Yuruo's heart, no matter whether it is Chang'an or Yangzhou, as long as you can be by your side, you are in the countryside, which is also the most prosperous place in the world... But the climate here is still a bit dry. "

"Hahaha, then I will ask Lao Huang to go to all the major rouge and gouache shops in Chang'an City and buy you the best rouge and gouache here. You can see which one is easier to use and use it in the future. Home."

"Thank you sir."

……

In Fu Qian's room at night, Lao Huang was making tea.

After pouring it out for the first time, I added new tea water and poured it into the cup.

Fu Qian picked it up and took a sip: "Old Huang, have you figured out the relationship between this?"

"Young master, I have figured it out. There are thirteen gangs in Chang'an City, big and small. Among them, the Black Tiger Gang and the Seven Star Gang are the most respected. Among the other small gangs, six are on the Seven Star Gang and five are on the Black Tiger Gang. there.

The Black Tiger Gang was secretly cultivated by the Fox Chief among the twelve beast heads in the imperial court, and specialized in doing shameful things for the Fox Chief. Behind the Seven Star Gang was the Tianyi Palace, and I must have known this.

In addition, the court is also divided into four factions. There are two factions among the civil servants, one faction is the military attachés, and the other is the eunuchs. However, among these four factions, there are people from the emperor. At present, Lao Huang, I have only collected part of the list, and there are also some people who have been placed by the emperor. No deeper spies can find it yet, so I’ll look back..."

"No need, it is not convenient for us in the Imperial City Department to investigate the person who has been planted with the twelve beast heads. If I want to know, I can just go back and ask Tianyi. Don't get too involved."

"Okay." Lao Huang smiled flatteringly and nodded, "But young master, today we went to Jingzhao Mansion just to get acquainted with Song Yi. Tomorrow you will take office. When you have established a foothold in Chang'an, can you Can you arrange some random errands for Lao Huang and me?

I have been making a living among the people for most of my life, and I am still just a spy. If I can have an official position, even if I am not worthy, it will be a honor for my ancestors. "

"It's easy to say. I think Fu Qian is also quite capable. He was actually able to become a high school Jinshi. Although he didn't get into the top three, he still got seventh place. Although he is currently working as a secretary in Jingzhao Mansion and joined the army, Song I won't be too restrictive in your care. It's just a matter of words to find you a casual job.

"Then I would like to thank you in advance for joining the army."

"Hahaha, easy to talk about."

But then Lao Huang thought of something: "But Master, now you are just a secretary in the army, making records and audits, holding talisman seals, and discussing gains and losses. Although you have some power, there are still many people above you, and I'm afraid there are some bright sides." It’s not very convenient to do the things above…”

"This is indeed a problem, but promotion is not that difficult. You have merit, but are you afraid that you won't be promoted?"

"I'm afraid that the forces under the emperor's feet are complicated. The current Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is biased towards the military attachés, and your father is from the civil servants' side. Therefore, I am afraid that the position of the Young Master is... It’s hard to cross over.”

"Don't worry, it's not them who have the final say whether it's good or bad, it's us who have the final say."

"Young master means..."

"Hahaha, don't be in such a hurry. I have just arrived in the capital, and there is still a long way to go. Not only Shao Yin, but also the captain, the criminal censor, and the deputy envoy of Fu Yin should go and find out and see what's going on. After understanding who can have a good relationship and who wants to make enemies openly, those who deserve to die will naturally die."

Lao Huang nodded: "I understand."

"By the way, young master, when I went to check those gangs today, I overheard people from the Black Tiger Gang saying that people from Tianyigong will come over soon, but I don't know who they are. If they want to commit some crimes in the capital, Jingzhao Mansion is bound to take action, so should we take action too?"

"Tianyi Palace, of course there will be some movement. Tianyi Palace is a little too honest now, so we have to let them stir up trouble again."

"Then I'll make some arrangements first."

After Lao Huang left, Fu Qian took out a short blade, which was the weapon he used when he stabbed him to death.

"Tianyi, Tianyi, did you know that Diyi was going to rebel?"

"If you knew it, why didn't you tell me?"

There was a bit of murderous look in his eyes as he spoke.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door. Although the footsteps were very light, they could not be hidden from Fu Qian's ears.

Then he put away the short blade.

Get up, go to the door, and open the door.

"Yuruo."

The visitor showed a sweet smile: "Lao Huang came to my place just now to inform me, so I came. From now on, you will be the Lord Joining the Army in Jingzhao Mansion, and you will need someone to accompany you. If you are the Lord Joining the Army on weekdays, If there is anything you want to eat or drink, you can tell me and I will arrange it for you."

"Hahaha, Yu Ruo, sometimes I think you shouldn't appear in a place like Fengyue Tower, just to let others see you. At this time, you are no different from those ladies, and you are even more beautiful than them. .”

"Sir, you are really good at complimenting people. Yu Ruo can't even imagine how many girls have been made happy by your words~"

"Yu Ruo, what you said is wrong. I was not the son of a prefect in the past. At that time, I was only focused on studying, and there were no women around me. I only said this to you."

Yuruo looked shy after hearing these sweet words: "Master Junjun, it's getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow. Let Yuruo take care of you and rest!"

"it is good."

In the middle of the night, Fu Qian opened his eyes again, looked at the people around him who were already asleep, and quietly left the Fu Mansion.

Daanfang.

"who are you?"

"I am from the Zhongyi Gang, you are seeking death!"

"What I'm looking for is your Loyalty Gang!" Fu Qian no longer wore the human skin mask at this moment. He revealed the original face of Jiang You'an. He raised his sword and killed five people in the room, leaving only one: "Go back and tell You gang leader, the Black Tiger Gang is not someone you can mess with."

After killing the person, turn around and leave.

Although people in the capital also know about Tianyi Palace and what happened in Yangzhou, they only hear its name and never see its person.

They didn't know that the person they saw just now was Jiang Youan.

……

Early the next morning, Fu Qian got up, washed up and put on his official uniform under Yu Ruo's service, and then went to the street. He bought two meat buns on the way and walked towards Jingzhao Mansion. .

After arriving, Song Yi naturally took him to get to know the staff of various departments in Jingzhao Mansion, including Shaoyin, Gong Cao, Fa Cao, etc.

Fu Qian had already known about these people before, including who was behind them, which faction they belonged to, where they lived, how many people were in their family, etc.

After a brief acquaintance, Fu Qian was first placed in the copy room.

Here, Fu Yin and Shao Yin all have their own independent offices, and the offices of people like Shao Yin and Du Wei are called rooms, and the offices of Gong Cao and Fa Cao further down are called Xie.

Si Lu joined the army and was considered a relatively good official. After all, he was born as a Jinshi. After coming here, he naturally couldn't do the lowest-level basic work.

Of course, this was also delegated to Jingzhao Prefecture. If you entered the Hanlin Academy, you would definitely have to copy books for a few years when you first entered.

After all, everyone's official career is different. After entering the Hanlin Academy, you will have to enter the Sixth Department. If you do well, you will enter the Central Committee to participate in national affairs.

It was just that he had only been here for a short time, and as soon as he got familiar with the things on his desk, a yamen servant came over in a hurry.

"Fu Canjun, Mr. Fu Yin has asked you to come over."

"Do you know anything?"

"It seems that several people from the Zhongyi Gang died last night. Maybe you didn't know when you first came here. The Zhongyi Gang is a gang under the Seven Star Gang. Now they have found the Seven Star Gang and said they are going to the Black Tiger Gang to get an explanation. .”

"Is there such a thing?"

Fu Qian said as he stood up and walked towards the meeting hall.

After arriving, Song Yi pointed to a seat for Fu Qian to sit down first.

After a while, when everyone had arrived, he motioned to the policeman who had discovered the matter.

"My lords, it's like this. I learned today that five people from Zhongyi Hall were killed by the Black Tiger Gang yesterday. Now the Zhongyi Gang has found the Seven Star Gang. The Seven Star Gang has always been at odds with the Black Tiger Gang, so now we are going to Go to the Black Tiger Gang to ask for an explanation."

After hearing this, Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Gao Shanwu frowned and said: "The Seven Star Gang and the Black Tiger Gang are the two major gangs in Chang'an City. One is in Chang'an County and the other is in Wannian County. The two sides do not interfere with each other. If a fight breaks out now, there will probably be a lot of casualties, and the matter must be handled properly."

Song Yi also nodded: "Yes, but whether this person was killed by someone from the Black Tiger Gang is another matter. You can take someone there first in the morning and check this matter. If the person is really a gangster, If someone from the Tiger Gang killed him, then let the Black Tiger Gang hand over a random person to quell the matter. If not...then find out the murderer."

"Yes, Lord Fuyin."

Just when Gao Shanwu was about to leave, Song Yi suddenly said: "By the way, you should take Fu Qian with you. He has just arrived here and is not familiar with many things. You should teach him more. He is The son of my good friend is also a Jinshi this year."

Gao Shanwu looked at Fu Qian and nodded.

On the way to the Black Tiger Gang, Gao Shanwu and Fu Qian chatted.

"Just now Mr. Fu Yin said that you are the son of his old friend, so your father is..."

"My father is Fu Jinnian, the magistrate of Yangzhou."

"It turns out he is the son of the prefect, disrespectful and disrespectful." At the same time, Gao Shanwu also began to think about it in his heart.

The magistrate of Yangzhou was supposed to belong to the lineage of civil servants, but now he has moved his son to Jingzhao Prefecture. What does this mean?
Was he sent here to be a nail?

But it doesn't look like Song Yi's expression. It seems that Song Yi is very close to this Fu Qian.

"Could it be that the Yangzhou prefect intends to move closer to the military attache faction?"

This is great news. Thinking of this, Gao Shanwu became closer to Fu Qian.
