I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Pei Gong and his entourage of Jinyiwei consisted of six people.

When we arrived at Baodi Mansion, it was already dark.

Although Baodi Mansion is already the mansion of Northern Zhili, compared with Shuntian City, its prosperity is still more than a star and a half behind.

Although it is the new year's day, there is no curfew in the city.But even so, at first glance from the street, there is still only darkness that can't be seen.

The night sky is like an impenetrable black cloth, tightly enveloping the huge city.

It was freezing cold on the street, and even pedestrians were rarely seen, let alone the inns and post houses that were still open at such a time.

A group of people wandered back and forth on the street, but still did not find any open doors to welcome visitors!Where to stay.

The banner officer who was walking in the front simply jumped off his horse, found an inn, and knocked on the door abruptly.

It's getting late now, and it's freezing cold outside the bed.

"Teng Teng" knocked on the door like a slamming sound for a long time, and finally a little bit of dim candlelight finally appeared in the cracks of the wooden boards blocking the store door.

The shop waiter held a candlestick and opened the door cursing.But as soon as the door was pushed open, the waiter couldn't help but startled when he saw the people at the door.

The candlelight was blown by the cold wind and swayed from side to side, and for a while it seemed to be shivering from the cold.

The waiter in the shop sneaked a few more glances outside the door, only to feel that the visitor was not kind, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

The flag officer standing at the forefront, his face was darker than the sky at the moment.In the first month of the lunar year, it is very cold on March [-]th, and if you expose your hands outside, you will freeze in a short while.

Jin Yiwei has no restrictions in Beijing, and even the San Judiciary has no right to intervene in arrests and interrogations. Even the lowest-ranking banner officials, no one dares to be underestimated.

But now that they knocked on the door for a long time, and endured such a cold day, they naturally scolded the shopkeeper thousands of times in their hearts.

The shop clerk knew that these people in front of him were not easy to provoke, so he could only swallow his saliva, and changed his tone and said in a friendly voice: "My lords, it's too late..."

Seeing this, Pei Gong who was in the crowd stepped forward slowly.With just a faint look in their eyes, the two flag officers who were leading the battle immediately stopped their flags and drums, and consciously bowed their heads and stood back.

The waiter in the shop is stagnant.

The person in front of him was not very old, but his every move carried a majesty that ordinary people did not have.

What's more, how arrogant the few people are just now, but they can only behave with their tails between their legs in front of him, which makes people a little more confused about the origin of this person.

Xiao Er involuntarily raised the candlelight.

The flickering candlelight reflected on the face of the man in front of him, making his brows handsome, his nose straight, but his eyes were sharp and sharp, which is rare for ordinary people.

He was dressed in cyan color, although there were no rich or expensive gold-woven flowers, but it was really decent when worn on him, and he was wearing a kind of solemnity that others could not match.

Standing at the entrance of the inn, he has an extraordinary temperament, which can be compared to the light of a firefly candle.

It seemed that as long as he opened his mouth, no one in the crowd dared to speak.

Xiao Er looked at the one in front of him, knowing that it was something to be messed with, and felt even more serious in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Pei Gong just rolled his eyes at him and smiled lightly: "Excuse me, my second brother is resting."

"We went out of Beijing to do business, and we couldn't make it back at the end of the year. Now we are in a hurry to go back to Beijing to spend Shangyuan with our family. Who would have thought that we would get separated halfway, and then we entered Baoding Mansion late at night. It is inevitable that we will be a little angry. Just now Offended."

"Are there any rooms in the store?"

"Did it snow in the city a few days ago? Did it also snow in Shuntian? It's really cold outside. If we don't stay overnight, I'm afraid these guys will freeze to death."

The shop clerk came back to his senses, hurriedly opened the narrow doorway and said, "I'm here to stay at the shop, please come in quickly."

"There are rooms. We have a lot of rooms in our shop. I'll find someone to feed the horses for you."

The hundred households beside Pei Gong also stepped forward to hand over the money: "Thank you, little brother."

"We followed the boss for a day, and we are very hungry now. If there is any food in the store, please give me a meal."

Xiaoer took the money in a hurry, and responded, "Sit down first, and the food will come soon."

The hundred households who handed over the money looked at Pei Gong calmly.

He knew that a wealthy son like Pei Gong had always been well-clothed and well-fed, and he might find it difficult to eat simple food.

What's more, it is well known that Pei Gong saved Princess Gengyuan before, but now he is the upstart in front of the emperor, everyone wants to take this opportunity to sell face.

Thinking about this, he hastily told Xiaoer: "Bring the best and most expensive ones in the store and serve our boss well."

"If the money is not enough, I have some more."

Xiao Er laughed and said, "No wonder the guest officials didn't come back during the Chinese New Year. It turns out that they are doing big business to make money."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Pei Gong held down the silver bag with which he took out the money.

He raised his eyes to the waiter in the shop: "Bai Si tofu is good, and it's even better with hot noodle soup, so just serve it as usual."

"The accountant doesn't know how hard I have earned the money, and is still trying to beat me, but there is no door."

That's all, Pei Gong pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "I have made such a small amount of money throughout the year, and now I am looking forward to returning home to give my family a confession. You can't help but show off your wealth. If you are careful, sooner or later people will miss my money. "

The waiter in the shop saw the scene in front of him and just wanted to go first.

"Several guests sit down first, I'll go to boil water and pour hot tea." He hurriedly nodded and went to the back kitchen with a smile, but couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.

He only said that people who do business in the world, no matter how talkative they are on the surface, they are all stingy in reality.

With that little thin silver, he looks like his ancestors.

Several people sat at two tables, seeing Xiao Er walking away, they diverted their gazes to Pei Gong.

The accompanying Baihufang frowned, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Third Master, what are we going to do now..."

Pei Gong flicked his cuffs without changing his face: "Don't reveal your identity so quickly, keep a low profile, so you can listen more and see more."

"Let's stay here for now, and wait for someone to find someone after I finish reading the file, so I can go to the city to have a look."

"The Baoxing banker we are looking for has a big business, and there are semicolons everywhere. Since there can be troubles, I think there must be some roots in this Baodi Mansion."

"I'm afraid they've already been waiting for us to get here."

"The third master is really far-sighted..."

Pei Gong raised his hand lightly, and slightly pressed his brows.

"Keep the knife and official certificate close to your body, don't show it to others easily, so as not to scare ordinary residents."

As he was talking, he paused as if thinking of something: "But don't throw it too far, lest you get bullied over your head."

The accompanying Jin Yiwei all nodded calmly.

Pei Gong said again: "The file is the most important thing, it must be collected properly."

"Today is hard work, eat and rest early."

After he had finished speaking, Xiao Er suddenly walked into the lobby with a tray, and put a few cold dishes and two bowls of plain noodles on the table.

"It's getting late, abalone, ginseng belly, delicacies from mountains and seas, our shop is small, so we really can't make them, but the noodles and cold dishes are enough."

"Several take it easy."

Pei Gong didn't hesitate, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles to eat.

The accompanying hundred households couldn't help sighing: "It's rare that the third master doesn't pick and choose."

Pei Gong sneered, and said casually, "I'm used to it."

He has met the most stingy person in the world, and a meal of vegetarian noodle soup is really not a suffering for him.

"Habit?" The accompanying hundred households were suddenly surprised, "I thought that the position of the third master was all a blessing."

"In today's situation, I think the third master's errands must have been done many times? Did you eat and sleep in the open too many times before?"

Pei Gong hesitated to speak, and after a while, Fang Fang explained again: "How can you be so particular when you are away from home?"

"After eating earlier, it's better to go to rest."

Only then did they feel relieved and ate the first meal of the day.

At the end of a simple meal, several flag officers who were sitting at another table suddenly moved closer to Pei Gong's side without making a fuss.

"Third Master, the people who followed us in the afternoon didn't follow us when we entered Fucheng..."

"But I saw the figure again just now, and I definitely did not admit my mistake. Several people are also staying here."

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Now that this person has been delivered to the door,

There was a bit of a smothered smile in the corner of Pei Gong's eyes.

"Then let's cast a net. If there are fish, we will have a feast."

A group of people quickly surrounded a room at the end of the upper floor.

After finding out exactly how many people were in the room, several brocade guards invaded the room in an instant, and completely subdued the people in the room without making a sound.

Only then did Pei Gong enter the room.

I didn't want to just enter the door, but the whole person's movements couldn't help but froze.

Fang Cenxi, who was forced by the knife, was still the same, with no trace of panic on his face.

He raised his eyes to meet Pei Gong's gaze, and there was an inexplicable smile on his lips.

"Third Master, are you all right?"

Pei Gong froze, couldn't help but sneered, he no longer wanted to fight.

He didn't want to delve into why Fang Cenxi appeared here.

Perhaps even if the emperor entrusted him with a job, he would still send inner guards to keep an eye on him.

Or from the very beginning, some people didn't want him to complete this errand, and didn't want Liang Guogong's mansion and the Pei family to get what they wanted.

Several Jinyiwei flag officers were also stunned.

Only then did Fang Cenxi hand over the official certificate, and said slowly: "Dali Temple is in charge of criminal and prison trials, and belongs to the Sanju Department."

"Now that we're reviewing the case files, reviewing the old cases here, I'll come to Baodi to investigate again. I don't know which rule of the Jinyiwei has been violated?"

"It turned out to be Fang Sizheng, impolite." The knife lying in front of Fang Cenxi was immediately put away, "It's just that the government office behind you in the afternoon has been following us all the time. I don't know what it means?"

"It's about Dali Temple being sued. It is my Zuo Temple's government office that is cautious. I returned to Beijing to report my situation. When I returned to Baodi, I saw you walking quickly and mistaken you for villains."

"This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple." Hundreds of households around Pei Gong clasped their hands, "If you see someone following you in the afternoon, you should think it is a villain plotting evil. It's really offending."

Fang Cenxi nodded lightly: "We each have responsibilities, so please don't make things difficult for each other."

Although he was speaking to the hundreds of households in front of him, Fang Cenxi's gaze was always on Pei Gong.

Pei Gong couldn't help laughing: "Fang Sizheng has a lot of ability, whoever makes things difficult, I'm afraid I still can't tell right now?"

"I'm afraid that in the future, we must ask Fang Sizheng to show mercy to us."
