Ping An's work efficiency is still very high, or if you have money, you can do things easily. In such a short time, he has already rented a yard with two entrances.

This courtyard is not far from the street where the dignitaries live, and only two streets away from the busy city, so it can be regarded as a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.Ximen Qing is very satisfied with this place.

After taking a nap with Dongfang Bubai in his arms, he opened his eyes and glanced at the person next to him, and found that the person was fast asleep, so he got up lightly, put on his clothes, and walked outside.

When he first arrived in the capital, his eyes were darkened, which is a big taboo for military strategists.Now, he wants to go out to learn about the situation in the capital.He didn't expect to find out any secrets, but he still wanted to know who could offend, and whoever could say nothing about it.

After inquiring about the news, there were no more than teahouses and prostitutes. It was afternoon, and it was time to drink tea. He didn't go far before he saw a very lively teahouse.

When he went to the teahouse, he chose a central place, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.

The current emperor did not prohibit the people from discussing political affairs, and even the officials dared to contradict the emperor in court, so Ximen Qing understood the situation in the court in one afternoon.

As he knew before, the court was divided into two factions.One faction is the faction that existed in the previous dynasty headed by Cai Jing, represented by Tong Guan and Wang Fu, and the other faction is the emerging powerful Gao Qiu, who has a good deal with the eunuch Liang Shi.

However, there are still some people Ximen Qing is more interested in, that is, some scholars who rely on their studies to get ahead. The emperor does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional in the past two years. Li Bangyan.

There is also a secret about the current emperor who is not sure whether it is true or not, that is, the emperor is infatuated with the famous prostitute Li Shishi.Many people wanted to meet Li Shishi because of this rumor, or take Li Shishi's way to please the emperor, but Li Shishi rarely saw outsiders, which made the news more accurate.

Ximenqing is very interested in this Li Shishi, a woman who can control the emperor...

In the west of the red sun, not only did the huge capital not get deserted, but it became more lively. Businesses lit up lights one after another, and the capital was as bright as day.

Ximen Qing thought that he didn't say hello to Dongfang Bubai when he came out, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried back home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Dongfang Bubai sitting under the flower window, drinking tea leisurely. When he came in, he didn't even look at him, as if he wasn't there.

Ximen Qing knew that this person must be unhappy, so he quickly smiled and said, "The capital city is really extraordinary, and it's very lively outside, how about I go take a look with you?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced at him indifferently, but said nothing.

Ximen Qing went over to pull his sleeve, "Let's go. When I came back, I saw a hawker selling very good Lantern Festival. I wanted to bring it back for you to taste, but I was afraid that the taste would be bad if I brought it back. Take you to eat.

Just right, let's go eat together.After eating, you can also see the night view of the capital. "

Just like that, Dongfang Bubai was dragged out of the door.

The two walked arm in arm on the long street, and pedestrians walked by from time to time, but they couldn't get into the painting that belonged to the two of them.

"I went out today to inquire about the situation in the capital. You also know the purpose of my coming to Beijing this time. I may start to be busy during this period, and I don't have much time to accompany you. If you are bored, let Ping An go out with you."

Ximen Qing held Dongfang Bubai's hand and said in a low voice.

Dongfang Bubai's hand tightened unconsciously.

"It hurts!" Ximen Qing exclaimed half-truthfully, and shook off his hand, "I was almost crushed by you."

"It deserves it." Dongfang Bubai said, and walked past Ximen Qing.

Naturally, Ximen Qing would not let him just go away, followed up from behind, and held his hand again, "I deserve it, who made me like you!" He laughed.

This time, Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything more, he agreed to Ximen Qing's words, making Ximen Qing laugh like a cat that stole a fish.

Gradually, the figures of the two disappeared in the bustling street.

Early the next morning, Ximen Qing went straight to the mansion of Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao with the gift he had prepared, and told the gatekeeper that he wanted to see Gao Kan and Gao Yanei.But before he had time to give the man money, the man suddenly said excitedly: "Are you a senior official from Ximen?"

"Ximen Qing is here."

The gatekeeper seemed very happy, "You're here. Wait a minute, I'll go and tell our yamen right away." As he spoke, he ran in quickly.

Not long after, Gao Kan came out with Wu Song, "Brother, why did you arrive today? I've been waiting for you for days."

"There was some delay on the way, how is it, are you okay?" Ximen Qing said enthusiastically.

Gao Kan smiled brightly, "Okay, I just miss my brother a little bit. Brother is also true. If you are going to Luancheng, I can go with you too. Why do you have to go by yourself!"

Ximen Qing smiled without saying a word.

Gao Kan was very annoyed before, but now when he sees people, he only feels happy.After complaining, he took Ximen Qing's hand and walked out, "Brother, you must have no place to live when you first came to the capital.

I originally wanted you to live in my house, but my father is very strict with me. I don't like living at home, let alone you.

I have prepared a house for you, go and see if you are satisfied.If you are satisfied, you can stay here, and you can also bring your uncle to live in the capital in the future. "

Ximen Qing knew Gao Kan's thoughts for him, and hearing him say this now, he suddenly felt both familiar and strange.After thinking about it for a while, he remembered, it must be Jin Wuzang's "Jiao".

He has done this before, but now he has changed his identity.

Stretching out his hand to brush Gao Kan away, he hurriedly asked what he cared most about, the result of the emperor's handling of the tragedy in Qinghe County.

Gao Kan's eyes wandered a little.

As soon as he got home, he went to find his father, hoping that his father could help rescue the Chen family, but his father refused.No matter what he said, no matter how much he begged, his father would not agree, and finally asked him why he cared so much for the members of the Chen family.

He originally wanted to introduce Ximen Qing to his father, but this time he was clever and realized that maybe now was not a good time, so he just said that someone begged him, and he agreed because of the pity of that person.

I don't know if his father believed it, anyway, his father did not have any abnormalities afterwards, and he admired Wu Song very much, so he let Wu Song live in the Taiwei's mansion.

Originally, he wanted to do this well to surprise Ximenqing, but now that the surprise is gone, he can only think of other ways, such as the credit for the Qinghe County tragedy.

However, the emperor has not been to court for several days recently, and no one cares about major national affairs, let alone such a matter, so this matter has also been delayed.

There was no progress, he was a little ashamed to see Ximen Qing, he hesitated, he told Ximen Qing about the situation.

Ximenqing was not surprised that the Chen family had committed a serious crime against the Jiu Clan, if Gao Kan looked at him differently, he would really be exonerated, but he felt uneasy.

"I want to go and see Uncle Chen's family." Ximenda told him to go and see Mr. Chen if he had the chance, how dare he refuse.

Seeing that there was finally something he could do, Gao Kan immediately cheered up, and wanted to take Ximen Qing to the prison immediately, but suddenly he remembered something and ran back to the mansion.After a while, he ran out again, holding a palm-sized yellow-orange object in his hand.

"This is?" Ximen Qing asked.

"This is the token given to my father by the emperor. My father thought that I would never find him if he hid it in the secret room. Hmph, in fact, I have seen it a long time ago. Brother, with this token, our affairs can be handled easily." " Gao Kan said quite proudly, shaking the token in his hand.

Ximen Qing reached out to take the token, and saw that the entire token was made of gold, with a golden dragon stretching its teeth and claws on the front, and the word "Chi" on the back.

Although Ximenqing had never been an official, he knew that the things that the emperor rewarded were dragons and characters, which was absolutely unusual, otherwise Taiwei Gao would not have hidden in the secret room.And Gao Kan just stole it out, if he was cheated by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences...

The more he realized that Gao Kan was a failure, but at this time, he had to plan for Gao Kan. After all, this person was the only one who could help him now.

Frowning, Ximen Qing shouted displeasedly: "Brother, you are too reckless in doing this."

Gao Kan tried his best to be called by his father to Ximen Qing to steal the token, full of enthusiasm, he thought Ximen Qing would praise him a few words, but he didn't expect to only wait for such a sentence, and in an instant, his face turned dark and his lips moaned There were faint signs of anger.

But in the next moment, he opened his eyes wide, filled with overwhelmed joy, not for anything else but because Ximen Qing hugged him unexpectedly.

Ximen Qing patted him on the back reassuringly, and then said apologetically, "I was too anxious just now.

However, this thing is no joke.You stole it because of me, not to mention how angry your father was when he found out, just say that if something happens to this thing, I'm afraid your family will be implicated.How does this give me peace of mind.

Quick, put this thing back before your father notices it.I accept your wish, but even if I don't see Uncle Chen today, I can't hurt you. "

As he spoke, he quickly handed the token to Gao Kan, and pushed him, telling him to go back quickly.

It was only then that Gao Kan realized that Ximen Qing was doing it for his own good, and his heart was as bright as a hundred flowers blooming.Originally, he just wanted to help Ximen Qing, so he stole the token impulsively. Now that he heard Ximen Qing say this, and thought of his father's anxious look, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

He accepted the token awkwardly, and he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Isn't it just a token? What's the matter? Besides, it will take half a day at most for us to go, and I will put the token back when I come back. It is absolutely amazing." Unknowingly."

"Put it back quickly." Ximen Qing raised his face.This time he just went to visit the Chen family, he didn't want to cause any complications, and besides keeping this token, it might be of great use in the future.

Gao Kan had no choice but to go back.
