Colleagues here are all white lotus [Rebirth]

Gezhou is not as beautiful as Yunyang Town, but because it is the end of the canal to the north, there are three large-scale wharves along the way, and all the freight from the north and the south have to pass through here, so although it is not considered elegant, it is also a kind of rich man. The déjà vu of the garden.

Most of the wealthy families here are mostly businessmen, with no family background, and their rise has only been in the past ten years since the opening of the canal, as can be seen from the highest-grade restaurants in the city.

The plaque on the face of the largest restaurant in Gezhou is covered with a layer of gold powder, and the guest officials who come and go wear silk and jade.

Xie Yin looked at the bronze mirror in front of and behind the bronze mirror in the guest room with the gold furnace lit, and the little six waited on him.The clothes were given by an unfamiliar guard. Xie Yin found that although the twelve guards were rewarded by His Majesty, the head of the guards, Gu Lin and Chu Yan, whispered every day, as if they were actually King Zhao’s people. .

Thinking of this, Xie Yin couldn't help feeling rejoicing. Fortunately, the people brought by Wei Qian had been hiding beside them. Xie Yin originally thought that Wei Qian's subordinates were just hanging behind them at a distance, until he arrived in Gezhou, he never saw anyone. They were a little worried about Diu, so they sent a secret signal, but they didn't expect a dock worker wearing shorts to contact him secretly when he was looking for a boat at the dock.

For this unexpected agent-level subordinate, Xie Yin was so happy that the corners of his lips curled up all day long.

It's just... Xie Yin pinched his own face. This red scar is too eye-catching. Although the image of the little treacherous minister has always been a masked man in the court for three years, it's hard to guarantee that no one will put the mask on his face. The following features were passed on to Zhou Shengsheng.

The little six straightened the hem of Xie Yin's clothes, stood up and looked up to see his master looking in the mirror with a sullen face, so he said respectfully: "Master, can I ask you to help you dress up?"

Xie Yin turned his head in surprise, "How do you dress up?"

There was a trace of surprise on Little Six's face, which quickly dissipated. He bowed slightly, "Your Excellency used to dress up in private, and it was Xiaonu who helped you dress up. Xiaonu knows some low-level crafts, so Steward Qin allowed Xiaonu to follow you. grown ups."

Xie Yin: "..." Every hidden dragon and crouching tiger 666 in Xie's mansion is given to you...

He coughed twice, "Oh, so it's that one." In fact, he didn't know which one it was... "Come and get it."

Little Six responded respectfully.

Xie Yin sat on the master chair and leaned back, Little Six took out a clean silk cloth and wrapped it around Xie Yin's neck.He took out several other boxes and opened them one by one. Xie Yin glanced at them and found that they were powders of different colors.

Xie Yin guessed that Xiao Liuzi was going to use these powders to cover his scar, but his scar was not flat, but a protruding one, and the color was so bright that thin things couldn't cover it at all.

While Xie Yin was slandering, he let Xiao Liuzi smear on his face. His technique was very complicated compared to ordinary women's makeup. It seemed that he had pasted a piece of skin paper as thin as a cicada's wing on Xie Yin's face. Xie Yin couldn't see his own face, he could only see that Little Six had changed from bold to finely crafted, frowning with a thin brush, painting here and there on his face, which made him nervous up.

After spending half an hour, Xiao Liuzi finally wiped Xie Yin's face and neck with a cloth made of silk that was not known to be comfortable, and untied the silk cloth that was stained with powder, his brows loosened. , "The little slave is done, please ask the adults to see if it suits you?"

Xie Yin stood up with the help of Xiao Liuzi, feeling a little expectant and nervous, and looked into the bronze mirror. Although he was mentally prepared, he was also taken aback.

Xiao Liuzi didn't know what to use, but it completely covered up the big dark red scar without a trace, and it was still flat and smooth to the touch. After his blending, the skin color was consistent with the right cheek, fair and clear.

Xie Yin leaned in front of the mirror, and only when he got very close could he see that there were no small fluffs on the right cheek, and there was no flaws in the left cheek, other than that.

He looked in the mirror, and Xiao Liuzi explained, "This method of disguise does not change the original outline of the face, so there are few restrictions. The materials used are all high-quality and will not harm the human body." , and there is almost no discomfort. If you don’t rub vigorously and get a little water, you don’t need to be nervous, but a dress can last up to two to three days, and it will gradually fall off over time.”

Xie Yin was stroking his left and right cheeks with great interest, and when he heard the phrase "you can't rub it vigorously", the strength in his hand silently eased a little. Craftsmanship can go out and open a shop dedicated to serving ladies, and it will make a lot of money.

Seeing the "disguise" that Xiao Liuzi said just now suddenly sounded in his mind, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Do you know other ways of disguising?"

Little Six said: "Your Excellency, do you mean to change the outline of a human face? This little slave has learned it before, but has never used it on a human body. The materials that this little slave used before are also harmful to the human body, but they can be used on human faces without harm. The material is very rare."

Xie Yin snorted, and then asked curiously, "Then what did you use for the experiment before?"

Little Six laughed and said, "Before Xiao Nu entered Xie's Mansion, he was just a little puppet master."

This was really beyond Xie Yin's expectation. He wanted to ask but felt that he didn't know why his body was so hairy, so he silently swallowed his curiosity.

Suddenly the door was knocked lightly twice, paused for a while, and then twice.

The two of them didn't manage the door, but Xiao Liu went to the window and opened it silently. Two dark shadows were standing on the roof of the small building next door.

It was almost dark at this time, although the street market was still bustling with people coming and going, this place was very secluded.

Xie Yin stuffed a small bundle into his clothes, his stomach swelled, and he climbed out along the window, being supported by a black shadow, looking back to see Xiao Liuzi carrying a big bundle and being caught by another black shadow, he couldn't help but Thinking that the two of them looked like a thief who just stole a big bag of sweet potatoes, he almost laughed out loud.

The two guards were very skillful, and they brought Xie Yin and Xiao Liuzi to the ground without making a sound.

Just as they landed, the door of the room was pushed open, and two people walked in one after the other, one of them closed the window, the other sat on the grand master's chair, held up the teacup, and took off the mask, revealing a bright red line on the left side of his face. scar.

Cai Xiaoli, who knew nothing, excitedly disguised himself, and suddenly collapsed when he saw the secret letter sent by the guards that would burn after reading.

- why is it always me who is abandoned

·

Xie Yin hugged his stomach and climbed into a black cloth trimmed with gold trim, which was very low-key and luxurious. This carriage was bigger than theirs before, and two or three people could lie down without having to shrink their feet. Behind them was another plainer carriage. But it's not small, it's full of all kinds of strange things to use when going out.

This time, Xie Yin and Chu Yan pretended to be two brothers who were doing business, and their identities were borrowed from Yannan's Mu family. The Mu family was originally a powerful family, but these three generations gradually declined, and they were too poor to support the appearance that the family wanted. Come on, so the Mu family's sons who are knowledgeable about current affairs started to do business. Although they lost the face of the old and stubborn family members, they gradually began to improve.

Only such an aristocratic family status can conceal Chu Yan's nobility of ignorance of human suffering.

And the two brothers whose identities they borrowed did set off from Yannan half a month ago, saying that they wanted to go south to see if they could make coal sales. Earn rewards for the Mu family on it.As long as there is an imperial decree, the Mu family will have nothing to worry about in the future.

At this time, the real Muyuan and Muqing brothers were in a well-guarded hot spring villa in the suburbs of Beijing, reading books every day, soaking in hot springs, drawing pictures of beautiful maids, leaning their heads at night to discuss why His Royal Highness King Zhao suddenly wanted to introduce business to the Mu family, After thinking about it, the older sisters who are going home are either already married or are only ten years old. Your Highness should not be so beastly...

When Xie Yin got into the carriage, Gu Lin was also in the carriage, and the head of the guards was spreading out the blueprints with King Zhao, and the special Pinghai lantern was lit in the carriage. As long as the shaking is not too strong, the lamp can be as stable as a mountain collapse. The front does not change color.

When they saw Xie Yin, both of them were startled for a moment, Xie Yin subconsciously touched his face proudly, smiling brightly.How come it feels like just applying a few layers of powder, the confidence is enough.

Gu Lin quickly looked away, and Chu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the extremely ordinary little six sitting next to the coachman through the gap in the door curtain.

He quickly regained his expression, and before Xie Yin could react to say hello, he reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled it in. Xie Yin almost fell into Chu Yan's arms, and hurriedly supported him.

Depressedly looking up, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang smiled like a fox no matter how he looked, and called out in a tone so intimate that Xie Yin got goosebumps on his back: "Brother Qing~"

The corner of Gu Lin's mouth twitched faintly.

Fortunately, his face was covered with a layer of powder, and Xie Yin's face was steaming from embarrassment under the powder.

Why do you feel that His Royal Highness Zhao smiled, and his life will not be long...

Xie Yin withdrew his hand and touched his face, and sat on the side of the small table with a calm face, looking at the map on the small table.

This Jiangnan map is different from the ones that can be bought normally. Not only is it more detailed, but there are also some strange things marked on the map.For example, the minerals, scenery, population, and even the changes in the tidal flats of rivers and sea estuaries over the years, and the sphere of influence of Jiangnan governor Zhou Shengsheng and the Zhou faction officials who can be detected everywhere are marked with marks. Xie Yin found that Zhou Shengsheng was indeed not a fuel-efficient man. In the past eight years, the Jiangnan government has gradually turned into a monolithic "Zhou School" is simply a feat.

I don't know how he did it. Later, if the officials sent by the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River failed to conspire with Zhou Shengsheng, they would be dismissed in various ways. There is no possibility of turning around with the Ministry of Punishment.

It stands to reason that the emperor's desire to get someone to step down is just a matter of one sentence, and many people have paved the way for him, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the "Zhou faction" is involved in a wide range of people. It is too difficult to replace all the Jiangnan government, and people are easily moved. .

And this year coincides with a freezing disaster that has never happened in a century, if you investigate in the name of disaster relief, not only can you win the hearts of the people, but you can also stop Youyou's mouth.

On the map, a place called "Zhanyuan" was clicked with a pen.Xie Yin remembered that the pleading paper received by Mrs. Liang came from Yushui Village under the jurisdiction of Zhanyuan County.

"Your Highness, look," Gu Lin pointed the mountains around Yushui Village with his hand, "Although this village is under the jurisdiction of Zhanyuan County, it is surrounded by hills from the topography, and there are many big rocks on it, the soil quality is not suitable for planting Therefore, people in the village often make a living by fishing. Due to the terrain, the transportation between Yushui Village and other villages in Zhanyuan County is inconvenient.

Xie Yin, who was busy looking at the map, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How can a small county magistrate send the pleadings to the capital a hundred miles away? Zhou Shengsheng's subordinates can't be so weak, right?"

Chu Yan was swayed by his words, looked at those big eyes full of curiosity, and rarely explained, "The county magistrate sent a letter from a river and lake. Yuan was tracked down not long ago. He hid on a cargo ship and went to Gezhou, and was hunted down to the capital to stop the official sedan chair. Unfortunately, the man was too seriously injured to be treated.”

Suddenly there was a light sound outside the carriage, a black shadow flashed, and Gu Lin disappeared in the carriage in the blink of an eye.
