Gu Shiwei looked at Jing Li, his eyes full of pain and sorrow.

It was the first time she knew that the Imperial City Division had such a relaxing place, and she had no idea how many beggar chickens she had missed before! How many pieces of kidney bean cake!

When Jing Li looked at her with such eager eyes, his heart suddenly boiled. He couldn't help but puff up his chest and racked his brains to tell Gu Shinwei the old story of the Imperial City Department, "There are ten commanders under the Imperial City Envoy, five One of them is a relative official, and five of them are personal servant officers."

The Imperial City Division was not very lively at noon, and the two of them walked for a while but saw few people passing by.

"The last imperial envoy Kang Yu died tragically when he took office. Within three days, Master Zhang came out of the blue and took office. There are rumors in the community..." Jing Li said and made several gestures on his neck, "It is said that Master Zhang will take charge of Master Kang." It clicked, but I don’t think it should.”

Jing Li's voice was extremely low, "Once the emperor and his ministers, Lord Zhang brought Li Sansi and Wei Changming with him after he took office. The two of them are the direct descendants of the direct lineage. I heard that Lord Tong is from the same hometown. Wei Changming is a personal follower. Official, always stay with the official’s family.”

"Li Sansi is known as a marriage officer, but he is actually the general manager of the Imperial City Department."

"There are still five commanders left during Lord Kang's time. One of them is called Guan Jing, and the flowing imperial city envoy is the commander Guan. Before Lord Kang came, Guan Jing was in the Imperial City. He is an official. The old people around me have complied, and even the envoy from the Imperial City has to give him a little less respect."

Jing Li said, his eyes sparkling, "I heard that Guan Jing is very good at spinning tops, that's why the officials like him."

what the hell!

Gu Shiwei couldn't believe his ears! What's so great about spinning tops?

Jing Li saw the doubt on Gu Shiwei's face. He flushed with excitement, and his mood became even higher. Finally, there was something he could do for Master Gu. If he didn't say it well, he would have done it himself. I won’t let myself go!

"My subordinates heard that there is a box of tops in the official family, with the names of various censors in the censor's desk engraved on them. Among them, three of the names of the relevant censors were engraved! The one of Han Yushi was broken last year. The first one and the newly replaced second one probably won’t work either…”

Gu Shinwei was speechless as he listened. What was the difference between the outrageous rumors Jing Li told and me lying under the bed and hearing Wang Yushi squatting on horseback with his eighteenth-room concubine at night?

She thought about it and decisively brought back Jing Li who had wandered away. "Where are the remaining four?"

Jing Li said "Oh" twice, "Guan Jing is like Wei Changming. He spends most of his time in the palace and rarely comes back to the imperial city. He is in his forties and his eyebrows are a little yellow. If you see him You can definitely recognize it."

"There are four left. One is named Li Zhongyun. He is also an official. Li Zhongyun has a special status. He is from the same clan as the Queen Mother and can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Although he joined the Imperial City Division when Lord Kang was here, I think Mr. Zhang is gone, but he is still here..."

"Except for your Excellency and Wei Changming, among the ten commanders in the Imperial City, Li Zhongyun is the youngest."

Jing Li's voice was just right for Gu Shiwei, who was walking side by side, to listen.

The Huangcheng Division's restaurant was in a corner of the backyard. The two of them walked around in twists and turns for a long time, and then Gu Shiwei smelled the aroma of braised hooves.

"The second Crested Ibis. He was the only confidant promoted by Master Kang. At that time, Master Zhang left him in the Imperial City Division without purging him, but few people had seen him. I heard that he was good at disguise and transformation, so the subordinates he led Everyone is like this, they belong to night travelers.”

"I have been in the Imperial City Division for three years and have never seen Mr. Zhu once. Like Mr. Zhu, he is a marriage officer."

"The third one is Zhai Di. I mentioned to you before that the incident between Ma Hongying and Wu Jiang was investigated by Commander Zhai. Before I followed you, I was working under Commander Zhai."

"Master Zhai has been in the Imperial City Division for many years, and he is the oldest one besides Guan Jing. He looks very serious on the surface, but..."

Jing Li looked around and saw no one around him, so he whispered into Gu Shiwei's ear, "But he has a secret. He especially likes farming! Sir, I tell you, I am the only one in the entire Imperial City who knows this secret." "

"Once I went to a village on the outskirts of Beijing to watch people dancing! Then I happened to see Mr. Zhai in the field. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying two buckets of dung on his shoulders. I was shocked and squatted in the vegetable field. I was bitten by a cauliflower snake on the buttocks." "I didn't dare to say anything, and I couldn't believe it until he left. Later, when I returned to the Imperial City Division the next day, I smelled the overwhelming stench on his body. I know that this vast world is full of wonders!"

As Jing Li spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, and Gu Shiwei was speechless.

She really wanted to ask Jing Li why he wanted to watch the dancing master, but she was afraid that she would hear some reply that suspected that she was not a normal person.

"What about the last one?"

As Gu Shinwei said, he and Jing Li stepped into the small dining hall of the Imperial City Division. This place looked like a two-story restaurant. The first floor is like a lobby, with many tables and chairs arranged.

Jing Li was right. Except for their group, which was relatively leisurely, everyone else seemed to be in a hurry, and there weren't many people eating here.

They were all sitting in twos and threes, no one seemed to know anyone, and no one was talking loudly.

When they saw Gu Shiwei come in and saw the clothes she was wearing, many curious eyes came over her.

Jing Li did not continue speaking. He said respectfully to Gu Shiwei, "Sir, please go upstairs and be careful about the steps you step on."

Gu Shiwei didn't say much. She squinted her eyes and glanced around, without lingering on anyone's face, and went straight to the small building.

As soon as she went up, many people put their hands on their chests and patted them comfortingly.

Jing Li didn't follow. Although he didn't say anything, Gu Shiwei guessed that the Imperial City Department had rules and only commanders could come up.

She didn't force it and continued walking up. Even though her footsteps were very light, the people above her obviously still heard them. As soon as she emerged, she saw a chubby old man approaching with a smile.

"When Mr. Gu comes back for the first time, what do you want to eat, and what are you taboo about? My surname is Shi, and I am the cook of the Imperial City Department. If Mr. Gu doesn't mind, you can call me Chef Shi or Old Shitou."

Gu Shinwei glanced at the large spoon in his hand, felt his long breathing, and looked at the Imperial City Secretary in his heart.

This place is truly Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even the chef has extraordinary skills. If it were placed outside, he would be a good player who could take charge of one side.

Gu Shiwei thought and smiled, "I smelled Shi Laolu's elbow, so I followed the scent. I don't have any taboos, I'm just a little hungry."

The old man Shi laughed loudly when he heard this, "You've got a good elbow! Come up right now!"

Gu Shinwei went up another step and looked towards the seat next to the window. When the two people sitting there heard the voice, they both turned their heads and looked over.
