one step closer to the end

After Tan Qingning was slightly taken aback, she said rather sadly: "It turns out that your life experience is so miserable. I misunderstood you, but as long as you behave yourself and sit upright, who would dare to despise you?"

"People are divided into three, six, and nine classes at birth. Otherwise, why would you talk about untouchables and untouchables..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and sighed, "Oh~ If it wasn't for you, how could I be humbled to your senior brother? You have never seen me bow down before, forget it! Good sister, let's go, you have a great future, don't let me, a thief, delay you about you!"

"Bah~ You are looking down on me by saying this, am I the kind of wolf-hearted person..."

Tan Qingning stomped her feet angrily, and then turned him around. After a while, she shyly handed over a warm black bellyband, took the dirty bellyband away from his hand, and said angrily: "It's full of feces and urine, you don't mind burying it!"

"Good sister! I love you to death..."

Zhao Guanren excitedly turned around and hugged her, but Tan Qingning quickly walked away and said in a shy voice: "Little scoundrel! I knew you were going to take this opportunity to belittle me. You should sleep well. My sister is here to see you. Come tomorrow morning." The military office clicks!"

"You said you wanted to show me your body..."

Zhao Guanren salivated and wiped his saliva, but Tan Qingning covered her chest again and said angrily, "Look at your little concubine, what kind of body is a man, by the way! Stay away from Bian Xie's family, my master will come down in a few days." Now, don't be implicated by them!"

"Your master can't be the supervisor of Ningzhou..."

Zhao Guanren grasped the mystery of the words at once, while Tan Qingning said in shock: "You brat is the incarnation of a monster, you can guess it after I only said half a sentence, and you must not say this to others Ah, my sister has to go back quickly, see you tomorrow morning!"

After Tan Qingning finished speaking, she blushed and left, and Zhao Guanren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't found Tan Qingning with his soul-chasing eyes, he might have lost his life tonight, but the girl brought a bow and crossbow. Obviously to kill him.

"its not right……"

Zhao Guanren murmured: "Tan Qingning's master is the deputy commander of the black guard, a popular person around the emperor, why does he delay the trip? He should be very clear about what the emperor is thinking. Could it be that there is something else hidden in it? No?"

0441 - Pillow Undercover

Zhao Guanren got up early and went to the evening market. He thought that the ancients also went to work at seven or eight o'clock, so he deliberately rushed to 07:30 and stepped into the military office where the black guards were stationed on time.

Who knew that even the morning meeting was over, and hundreds of people were sent out to perform tasks. He found out after asking someone, and counted the number of people at Mao hour, that is, from five to seven in the morning, and the black-clothed guard The rule is to gather at six o'clock.

"Come on!"

Chen Qianhu was sitting in the yamen hall, drinking tea and eating snacks, and behind him stood two burly Baihu. Zhao Guanren hated this kind of guy who was neither yin nor yang, because it was hard to see anything from his face, and it was hard to guess his thoughts. , you have to keep trying.

"There were a lot of people in Maoshi, and the humble official deliberately came a step late..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and took out a wooden box, opened it, put it on the tea table and said with a smile: "This is the money and the land deed sent by the Xie family last night, and there is a concubine's room in the sedan chair outside the back door. The humble job is out all year round and does not know the rules. I didn’t dare to move any of them, so I ask your lord to make a decision!”

"Xiaoji Kingdom has repeatedly violated our Dashun territory recently, the war is tight, and the treasury is empty..."

Chen Qianhu took out three silver bills of one thousand taels, handed them to him and said, "The rule is that you accept it when someone gives it to you, and investigate whoever gives it to you. Let small things go, and report big ones. But women are the root of trouble, and small things can turn into big things. Send them to you." Just record it with the Internal Affairs Department!"

"Understandable!"

Zhao Guanren smiled and put the banknote into his sleeve pocket, but actually gave him less than 6 cents. The Xie family gave at least [-] to [-] taels of silver. It seems that this Chen is even more greedy than he thought. Even if he divides some more, he probably still has to get [-]% to [-]%.

"The people from Baiyiwei will be here today, don't you want to conflict with them..."

Chen Qianhu handed him another piece of pastry, and said: "Baiyiwei and I belong to the Jingdu Guards. To put it bluntly, we supervise each other. It's okay to compete with each other, but in major cases such as collusion with the enemy and treason, we must have a tacit understanding. Don't make trouble for others, otherwise no one will be able to afford it if something goes wrong!"

"Understood! Well water does not violate river water..."

Zhao Guanren stuffed the cakes into his sleeves, and a hundred households led him out. Zhao Guanren handed him a 1000 taels of silver, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou! Thank you for helping me find my maid last night. Everyone who has money Earn a piece, and I hope my brother will support me a lot!"

"Haha~ Brother, you are welcome..."

Zhou Baihu hugged him very affectionately, and said with a smile: "My lord gave you a piece of pastry with his own hands, which is a sign of his satisfaction with you. Although Ningzhou is a rich place, the relationship between the rich and powerful is intricate, and our black guards are not How much oil and water can be fished, and I have to rely on you, brother, to earn money!"

Zhao Guanren winked outside the back door: "It's on me, but this woman?"

"Who doesn't want a woman, but we black guards can't..."

Zhou Baihu said in a low voice: "This is the rule of the deputy commander. You are not allowed to touch the women you send. Brothers, don't break the rules. Some brothers have stumbled before. By the way! Your concubine room has been taken over." Here I am, I have to keep an eye on those grandchildren of Bai Yiwei, excuse me!"

"Brother, go slowly!"

Zhao Guanren entered the side courtyard according to the instructions. A petite young woman was already waiting in the hall. She was about 20 years old. Although she had little flesh all over her body, she was beautiful and charming. Putting it behind her head shows that she is married.

"I'm Zhao Yunxuan, no! Chang Ziteng..."

Zhao Guanren stepped in and looked at the other party. Unexpectedly, the girl was a good girl, but there were weapons hidden in her skirt and sleeves, and her hands were slightly wide. At first glance, they were not ordinary girls' hands. I guess he should be fine with this skill. .

"My slave's family is Chang Luo, and my girlfriend's name is Luo Tan. The master can call me Tan'er..."

Luo Tan stepped forward to salute generously, and said with a sweet smile: "From now on, I will be the master's deputy. Tan'er is a fifth-rank skill, and ordinary thieves can't get close to him. You can call Tan'er to do anything. , I will change the official robe for the master first!"

"You should take it off together, let me see your figure..."

Zhao Guanren closed the door, walked to the chair and sat down. Luo Tan's face froze slightly, he stepped forward and smiled and said, "Master, don't you know the rules of the guards in black? You share the same room with different beds, and you don't do fake plays for real, so as not to cause trouble. The two of us work together!"

"Either take it off! Or get out..."

Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and said disdainfully: "I don't care what the rules of the black guards are, you have to listen to me when you enter my house. Now you not only have to take off your clothes, but you also have to sleep with me at night. If you don't like it, get out and talk to Chen." The adults said, you can't be my deputy!"

"My lord! Please don't embarrass me anymore..."

Luo Tan finally turned cold and said: "The spies in black are surrounded by eyes and ears. Your lord is so experienced, you should understand why I came here. At worst, I will turn a blind eye in the future. As long as your lord does not collude with the enemy and seek rebellion, I will never If you don’t report it, how about you and I take a step back?”

"Report if you want, what am I afraid of..."

Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "I handed over ninety percent of the silver I earned, and the girl didn't want any of it. The evil fire in my stomach can't be released on you. I'm a monk who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha. I'll count to three, count to three." When it's over, you can either take it off or get out!"

"..."

Luo Tan bit her red lips hard, and in the end, without saying anything, she turned around and locked the door, walked up to Zhao Guanren and undressed silently. She tried her best to suppress her breathing, but she still blushed.

But there are three kinds of weapons hidden on this little girl, a mace knife, two handleless throwing knives, and a sleeve arrow with a mechanism. What kind of deputy is this? It's obviously the eyeliner Chen Qianhu sent to watch him.

"That's right, I'm your man, every hair of yours belongs to me..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed her into his arms and said with a smirk: "No matter what your status is, first of all you are a woman, and you can only follow me if the master is good. Don't expect another Chang Ziteng. My master, I have a prosperous official career. I'm afraid you'll have to stay by my side until you grow old!"

Luo Tan said angrily: "I have assisted three spies, and you are the most ruthless one!"

"Haha~ If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firmly..."

Zhao Guanren let go of her and said with a smile: "Your hands can't be ladies from everyone. Pretending to be my concubine will cause unnecessary suspicion. You should also change into the official uniform of the flag guard. From now on, you will be my female guard during the day, and you will be my female guard at night. She is my bed warming concubine!"

"Hmph~ I hope you are really successful in official career, don't ruin my innocent body..."

Luo Tan's face was full of anger, Zhao Guanren immediately threw her a stack of bank notes, and scolded: "Stupid woman! These 500 taels can buy dozens of you. You are lucky if you follow me, otherwise you will only be able to spend your whole life." Earn some money, come over and change my clothes, and kneel!"

"Got it! My lord..."

Luo Tan revealed an imperceptible look of joy, and hastily put away the bank notes and ran to fetch the official robes. The black-clothed guards below Qianhu were all dressed in black clothes, and the long hem was like a pleated skirt.

However, the official title can be distinguished from the folds of the hem. Zhao Guanren is now a seventh-rank governor flag, and the folds are light blue. There is no patch like a civil servant on his chest, but the outline of a tiger is embroidered with silver thread.

"My lord! Lift your feet, and my slave will put on your boots for you..."

Luo Tan knelt on the ground and thoughtfully helped him put on his leather boots. Zhao Guanren tied a belt with three pieces of jade on it, and put on a black gauze hat without wings. Except that he was not issued with an embroidered spring knife, he felt that he was no different from the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. any difference.

"Master! It's hot and stuffy, do you want to wear soft armor..."

Luo Tan got up to help him straighten his robes, Zhao Guanren took out the Yanling Saber, looked at it, and said, "Only uneducated warriors wear armor, and I don't wear armor if I have both civil and military skills. That's right! How can this sword be the first grade?" Ah, don't the black-clothed guards issue a heaven-level weapon?"

"Master, you think too much..."

Luo Tan laughed and said: "The weapons of the third rank of heaven are not even enough for the imperial army, the magic weapons of the first rank of heaven are only a dozen or so, and they are all in the hands of ten great masters, and the weapons of the second rank of heaven are no more than a hundred. They are all the means of the immortal family, and mortals are simply unable to build them!"

"Then change into your clothes, and I will take you to a big restaurant..."

Zhao Guanren hung up his waist knife and opened the door. Luo Tan screamed in fright, punched him in shame and angrily, and ran into the bedroom.

Not much!

Luo Tan then changed into a flag guard uniform without rank and came out. She was as handsome as a young man, and she probably hadn't worn this suit for a long time. She stood tall and proud, and called ten flag guards Out of the military office.

"Oh, what a good shop, it just closed..."

Zhao Guanren found out as soon as he went to the street. All the shops of Bian's house were closed, and the doors were all sealed.

However, the Xie family did not dare to gloat, not only shut down underground businesses such as gambling stalls, but even the girls in Guanyue Pavilion changed into Yishui commoners, all health care work was stopped, and even the boat girls on the Lanshui River disappeared. Empty, a taste of crackdown.

"Brothers! How are you doing..."

Zhao Guanren came straight to the gate of the Bian Mansion compound. Four small banner guards were sitting at the gate bragging. Seeing him coming, they hurried forward to salute.

"grown ups!"

A banner guard said with a smile: "The Bian family is very honest, there is no trouble. The old man was fighting dogs and playing birds early in the morning, and the women stopped crying. Those who play mahjong play mahjong, and those who embroider embroider, I guess If you have confidence in your heart, someone will come to save you!"

"Brothers have worked hard, the Bian family is not an ordinary family, take it easy..."

Zhao Guanren threw a piece of silver to them, and they immediately expressed their gratitude to Dade in pleasant surprise, but just as they were about to enter the house to take a look, a dozen or so knights on white horses rushed up from behind. Same as Black Guard.

"Master! Ouyang Qianhu of Baiyiwei, a ruthless character..."

Luo Tan hastily reminded him that Zhao Guanren knew that Baiyiwei did not have as many people as them, even less than half of them, but the actual power was much greater than them. If Baiyiwei Qianhu was here last night, he would be able to Take Wang Zhifu away directly.

"Appreciate~"

The guards in white pulled their horses and stopped at the gate. The leader, Ouyang Qianhu, was in his thirties. There is a red lining on the hem of Yusa, and it is impossible to tell that this is a thousand households.

"Is this a eunuch..."

Zhao Guanren asked in a low voice, but Ouyang Qianhu glared at him with a single glance. He didn't expect his hearing to be so excellent. Scared, Luo Tan lowered his head with a pale face and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Ouyang is, is a man, hurry up!" salute!"

"That's all you've got, and you still want to be my deputy..."

Zhao Guanren sneered with disdain, and immediately stepped forward with fists clasped as if juggling.

"Haha~ So it's Master Ouyang..."

Zhao Guanren smiled obsequiously and said: "It's better to be famous than to meet, and to be famous is worse than to meet. Master Ouyang is indeed a noble tree, extraordinary, Zhao Yunxuan, a low-ranking black-clothed flag, if you have any orders, just ask, and the humble one will do it with all my strength!"

"What a Zhao Yunxuan, he is really eloquent and eloquent..."

Ouyang Qianhu got off his horse, turned over the badge on his waist, and said with a sneer, "Chang Ziteng! You are really a cunning rabbit, with tricks one after another, but you don't prevent corpse poison, track down the real culprit, and run here What are you doing at the gate of Bian Mansion?"

"The incident happened in Bian's house! You shouldn't come here to ask for clarification, but your lord is wise and mighty, since you have come to a lowly position, you have resigned..."

Zhao Guanren cupped his hands and was about to leave, but Ouyang Qianhu pressed his shoulders and said, "Don't let me find out that you are responsible for it, or I will never forgive you!"

"Then you have to check carefully. I wish you youth will last forever. You are more beautiful than flowers. Farewell..."

Zhao Guanren broke away from his shoulders and turned his head away, while Ouyang Qianhu turned around and stared at him, squinting his eyes and said to his subordinates: "Check out Chang Ziteng's background, the gang of black-clothed guards are always brave and ruthless. Like their men!"

Chapter 0442

"Sister-in-law! Master Song is up..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the county yamen house alone, Mrs. Song was welcoming him in the main room, and the two concubines stood behind and bowed their knees to salute, but Song Zhixian's wife and two concubines were all fat and ugly. No one can eat with such a wife and concubine.

"Master Zhao! You are negligent, my master didn't go to bed until early in the morning..."

Mrs. Song said uncomfortably: "My master told me before going to bed that he was at most a crime of negligence. He will admit what should be admitted, and he must not admit what should not be admitted. Please help me to intercede, my lord. Master has always listened to you!"

"Sister-in-law! Take a step to speak..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the back hall and chatted with her. Mrs. Song nodded quickly, ran into the kitchen in a hurry, and soon brought out a wooden box with difficulty. When she opened it, it turned out to be full of gold bars. , estimated to be no less than forty or fifty gold.

"My lord! There are not many bank notes at home, do you think these are enough..."

Mrs. Song looked at him panting. Zhao Guanren knew that banknotes were inconvenient to be bribed, and he went to the bank to exchange them, so he frowned and said, "It's hard for me to send such a big box. Is there any valuable Wenwan?"

"Yes! Wait a moment..."

Mrs. Song ran back quickly again, and soon came out with two brocade boxes, and said: "A pair of glazed statues, which are said to be treasures from more than 300 years ago, and a white jade fairy, and the bottom one is a book of mental methods." , it is said to be a top-notch profound energy method!"

"That's right! Warriors like mental techniques..."

Zhao Guanren took it over and said: "Tell your master, you must communicate with me, don't be smart on your own, his brains must be played to death by others, anyway, let him do what I say, and he will definitely save his life and money." Black hat!"

"Ouch~ Thank you so much Mr. Zhao, you are the savior of our family..."

Mrs. Song took out another stack of silver bills and handed them to him. Zhao Guanren took away the gold and the antiques. Mrs. Song followed behind to thank him, but when he went out the gate, he shouted: "Sister-in-law, don't give them away. I'll take the documents back and look them up first!"

"My lord! The carriage is ready..."

Luo Tan led the banner guards to a carriage, and Zhao Guanren put things on it pretending to be relaxed. After reaching a secluded place, he took out the banknote and said with a smile: "Come, come! Brothers, everyone 200 taels, don't go to the bank to exchange it, Bai Yiwei is not a vegetarian!"

"Thank you sir!"

The banner guards accepted the food stamps in surprise, Luo Tan reached out to take one, but Zhao Guanren took the rest back.

"grown ups!"

The leader, Xiao Duqi, said in admiration: "You are so awesome. You actually went to the county magistrate's house to get money. We stayed up with him all night last night, and in the end it was only a couple of teas per person. We still called him stingy!"

"I'm not stupid, what's the use of giving you money..."
