The best county magistrate

In the evening, Yang Xuanchen led Zhao Yanli and a group of guards out of Liuyinglu.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat before going back?"

When he heard that he could still have a delicious meal outside, Zhao Yanli's eyes lit up again, and he nodded heavily.

Yang Xuanchen smiled, and the eldest prince looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He was so excited even after eating.

Originally, he was planning to ask the guards to drive in the direction of Fuman Tower, but the shouts in Fireworks Alley made him change his mind.

“There is a wonderful performance at Zuiyue Tower tonight, don’t miss it!”

"The beauty in the bottle, the monkey playing with swords and guns, it's exciting!"

"Yanli, have you ever been to Zuiyue Tower?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

Zhao Yanli looked away from the carriage and shook his head at Yang Xuanchen, "I rarely leave the palace, let alone eat outside the palace."

"But Zuiyue Tower has been told by the guards that it is the most famous restaurant on the southwest coast of Mirror Moon Bay."

"How about we go to this most famous restaurant tonight to try the dishes and watch the performance?"

After listening to Yang Xuanchen's words, Zhao Yanli shouted to the guard driving the carriage: "Go to Zuiyue Tower!"

Zuiyue Tower is indeed a famous restaurant in the inner city. The aura of wealth hits your face as soon as you enter the door. The whole restaurant is bustling with people and people are drinking and drinking.

Zhao Yanli's guards were indeed the most outstanding people in the palace, and they quickly arranged two excellent private rooms.

The sharp-eyed Yang Xuanchen happened to catch a glimpse of Xie Tianjie and Xie Tianhua going up to the third floor, which made him frown.

Who was the man in front of them? Why did the Xie family have to grovel before him? Could it be that he was a high-ranking official from which branch?

After Yang Xuanchen's figure disappeared into the private room, Xie Tianjie turned around and looked around.

"Brother, what are you looking at? Come in quickly. Several adults are here."

Xie Tianhua urged, causing Xie Tianjie to look away.

"I feel like someone is staring at us..." Xie Tianjie shook his head and continued: "Tianhua, your big day will be in a few days, so show off well today."

"Can those novel performances you mentioned please the adults?"

Xie Tianhua laughed and said, "Don't worry, big brother, the artists here this time are from Nanman."

"I watched it a few days ago, and the performance was absolutely wonderful!"

Ever since I told Xie Tianhua about the young and beautiful concubine in my third bedroom.

Xie Tianjie felt that his incompetent brother had become more mature. Not only was he more stable in his work, but his temper had also changed a bit.

Today's banquet was organized by Xie Tianhua. Not only did he invite many big shots in the court, but even the prince invited one.

This operation really shocked Xie Tianjie.

He looked at Xie Tianhua with full satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Tianhua, sooner or later the Xie family will be in your hands."

"Take advantage of today's opportunity to get closer to those people..."

Xie Tianjie's words buzzed in Xie Tianhua's ears like an old monk chanting sutras, annoying him greatly.

"Okay, brother, let's go in first. The show won't start for a while."

As the two brothers entered the private room, the door was closed. The guard at the door was holding a knife and guarding everyone who passed the private room door.

The window side of their private room was very close to the stage on the second floor, but the windows were closed at the moment, so it was not clear who was inside.

Yang Xuanchen looked around for a few times and then stopped paying attention. Instead, he called Zhao Yanli's guards to sit down and drink and eat meat.

Not long after, there was a sound of gongs in Zuiyue Tower, and then a woman in cool clothes who looked wild and beautiful stepped onto the stage on the second floor.

Her clothes were very different from those of Dayan's women. Only a few furs covered a few key places, and her exposed skin showed a wheat complexion.

She knocked the gong a few more times to attract everyone's attention to her. She did not shy away from those leering eyes, but instead showed her beauty to everyone generously.

When the atmosphere reached a certain level, the woman bowed to the stage. The perfect career line made Zhao Yanli swallow his saliva.

This provoked Yang Xuanchen to be both contemptuous and amused towards him, "Don't act like you've never seen the world. Just be older. In terms of beauty, our girl from Dayan is more beautiful."

"Huh? Are you saying that this woman is not one of my Dayan subjects?" Zhao Yanli asked, turning his head.

"Ah... if your father or you work harder, maybe there will be a chance in the next few years for women like her to become our subjects in Dayan!" Yang Xuanchen joked.

"I'll blanch it, really?"

Zhao Yanli jumped up excitedly, his eyes full of hope for the future, "Teacher, tell me what to do!"

"First of all, you have to sit down, how are you snoring like that?" Yang Xuanchen said, pointing to a guard leader, "This big brother, at first glance, he is well-informed."

"Why don't you tell the young master about this woman..."

"Back to the young master, my lord, the woman on this stage is actually a southern barbarian. Judging from her dress, she has obvious characteristics."

The guard pointed at the woman's clothes and continued: "Master, look, she has leopard skin on her chest, tiger skin hanging from her waist, and wolf teeth, tiger teeth, leopard teeth hanging around her neck..."

Following the introduction by the guards, Zhao Yanli nodded frequently, obviously having a certain understanding of the origin of the woman on the stage.

"Isn't there a war going on in Chenzhou and Liuzhou in the south? How come there are Nanman people coming to the capital at this time?" Zhao Yanli asked in confusion.

"You can't come in now. This group of southern barbarians probably entered my Dayan with the caravan before." Yang Xuanchen reminded.

Then he pointed at the man who had just come on stage and a big monkey half as tall as a man, "There is a profession in Nanman called an animal trainer."

"It is said that they can take all kinds of beasts for their own use, and just blowing a whistle can make the beasts under them attack."

At this time, the guard who had just spoken added: "Master Yang is not entirely sure what he said. There are many capable people and strangers in the Southern Barbarians."

"As Lord Yang mentioned just now, we call those who can control beasts and attack them beast masters. Such strangers are very rare."

As he spoke, he pointed to the monkeys on the stage, "It's quite common for animal trainers like him to train monkeys, dogs and other animals and use them to perform on stage to entertain everyone."

Yang Xuanchen looked at the guard carefully, put a smile on his face, raised his glass and toasted him.

"I haven't asked brother yet..."

The guard clinked glasses with him, nodded and said with a smile, "Young man, Yang Zhen."

"Haha, I didn't expect that eldest brother and I are still the same family. Come on, let's have another drink."

As the performance on the stage got better and better, the audience in the audience also jumped for joy, and occasionally let out a few exclamations.

At this time, Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes while watching the monkey show on the stage, and the fingers holding the wine glass suddenly became strong, causing Yang Xuanchen to cast a doubtful look at him.

"Brother Yang, you enjoyed the monkey show very well. What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhen put down the wine glass in his hand, pointed at the monkey, and said in a cold tone, "Southern barbarian monkeys mostly have sharp mouths, cheeks, and fangs at the tips of their teeth."

"Master Yang, take a closer look at this monkey's teeth!"

After his reminder, Yang Xuanchen looked at the monkey.

Every time the monkey on the stage bared his teeth, the teeth in his mouth looked very similar to those of human children, which aroused his doubts.

"You mean, there's something wrong with this big horse monkey?"

Yang Zhen nodded heavily, "I suspect this is not a monkey at all, but a human being!"

I'm sorry, this is anti-human. If his judgment is correct, these southern barbarians will have a big problem.

Yang Xuanchen patted him on the shoulder and took a deep breath, "Don't be impulsive. Take a look first before talking. There will be drama about Ping'er Beauty next."

After he finished speaking, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he ordered: "Send people back first to see which guards can be mobilized, and ask them to surround Zuiyue Tower in secret as soon as possible!"

Yang Zhen's eyes froze when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Yang?"

"Send someone directly to tell His Majesty and Concubine Shu that the trouble is serious and there is no room for carelessness."

Zhao Yanli did not shy away from the conversation between them. He saw that the two of them became extremely nervous after just watching a performance, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

His intuition told him that something big might happen tonight, "Yang Zhen, I order you to return to the palace quickly to ask for His Majesty's oral instructions, and order the left and right Yi guards to quickly surround Zuiyue Tower."

After saying this, Yang Xuanchen couldn't help turning his head and taking a deep look at Zhao Yanli. This little guy can think clearly and calmly at critical moments.
