Binh Duong Order

Yuan Man asked Mu Fanchen to use his identity to meet He Zhongchao. Among them, Mu Fanchen's identity is the best to use. It is easy to ask someone for help. Coupled with the presence of the young master, they are so It's really strange that many people go there, it doesn't seem like they are asking for help, but they are coming to make trouble.

So in the end, it was decided that Yuan Man and Mu Xiaohou would go to He Zhongchao, and the other four would go to the city to inquire about the news.

Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man went to the state capital with the identity of Lord Mu Xiaohou. What they didn't expect was that He Zhongchao's airs were so big. After a quarter of an hour, I drank a pot of tea before meeting Yuanming Zhifu He Zhongchao.

He Zhongchao, who came belatedly, smiled and apologized to Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man: "The government office is busy, so we must put the people first, neglect the young Lord Mu, and hope that the young Lord Mu will be tolerant." The words were beautiful, but there was no trace of apology in the tone.

The person here is about 30 years old. He is a bit fat in middle age, with broad shoulders and a fat body. Fortunately, he is not short, and he can be considered to be able to support his body. His facial features are vague, and he can vaguely look handsome when he was young. Unfortunately, he is no longer He was buried, dressed in an official uniform, with a faint greasy glow on his face, as if he was in a hurry to see him, and he didn't have time to wash up, but his face was rosy and energetic, and he didn't look like he was tired, especially the cuffs , clean as new, shoes are not stained with dust.

Yuan Man took half a step behind Mu Fanchen and let Mu Xiaohouye play his role. At this time, Mu Xiaohouye did not show the slightest displeasure because of the other party's negligence, but behaved decently and kindly: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. Since the common people should be the main ones, things happen for a reason, and so should the Marquis, etc. Speaking of which, the Marquis and Your Excellency should be old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite."

Mu Fanchen knew He Zhongchao. He was a student of Shen Shuxing. At that time, Gu Xiujin was young. It was said that he inherited Shen Shuxing's mantle.

He was the one who took the lead in participating in Meng Chengyu back then. It was because of this incident that He Zhongchao was respected by the people in Ling'an at that time, but later Meng Chengyu became the prince, and He Zhongchao made a fuss about enriching his own pockets and embezzling for personal gain. In order to prove his innocence, He Zhongchao had no mind to do anything, so he was exhausted and kept running around Dali Temple, either being called for questioning or being called to account .

During that period of time, not to mention talking to He Zhongchao in the entire Ling'an City, not many people dared to approach him. Having a nickname of "He Zhaosan", teasing others in private will also say things like "Are you afraid of being a He Zhaosan?" "You are more annoying than He Zhaosan".

For this reason, He Zhongchao also lost his official position, his whole body was haggard, and those who were tossed about were no longer human. Fortunately, Shen Shuxing responded quickly and asked He Zhongchao to invite Yuan Ming before Meng Chengyu made another attack. It was to avoid Meng Chengyu.

After that, Mu Fanchen didn't hear about He Zhongchao anymore, but Gu Xiujin's reputation gradually grew.

Mu Fanchen heard people say that when He Zhongchao left Ling'an, He Zhongchao was just before dawn when the city gate opened, and he took a servant and drove away quietly in a half-worn carriage. It's because of embarrassment, afraid of being seen by others, now seeing He Zhongchao's high-spirited appearance, he feels that He Zhongchao is really on the right path to leave Ling'an.

"Young Master Mu, you are being polite. I never thought that after so many years, you would still remember your subordinates. The officials are so soft-spoken, how dare you take credit for them." Xiaohou Mu also knew He Zhongchao, a well-known little trash in Ling'an City. .

This little trash took over the errand from the emperor, and He Zhongchao also received the official document. At first, he thought that this little trash came to the door suddenly, and he should ask for his help, but he thought that Lord Mu would be domineering and difficult. Besides, whether this person is real or not is irrelevant. Now that he has arrived at the place where he is congratulating the final court, there is no reason for him to be manipulated by this young master who doesn't know the truth. Let him hang out for a while and wait for Mu Xiaohou to make trouble , I just had a reason to reject him.

I just didn't expect this little trash to grow up, and actually developed some skills, not to mention being able to keep Jinzhou, but still be able to hold his breath. I underestimated him, but so what.

He Zhongchao led Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man to their seats. He was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and began to talk shortly: "Master Mu, this is the first time to Yuanming, right? The mountains and clear waters in Ming Dynasty are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. Can I send a few people to take the young master around and enjoy the scenery of our Yuanming? You can also show the friendship of the landlord."

"Yuanming is naturally beautiful, but this Marquis still has something to tell the emperor, so I don't dare to be distracted, I'm afraid I will disappoint Lord He's kindness." Mu Fanchen naturally knew that he was talking, so he pulled back the topic down to business.

"Really? That's a pity." After saying this, He Zhongchao was not in a hurry, and started drinking tea on his own.

Looking at He Zhongchao's appearance, Yuan Man could figure out his attitude. He tilted his head slightly to meet Mu Fanchen's eyes, and both of them saw something tacitly in each other's eyes.

Since He Zhongchao didn't ask, then Mu Xiaohou could only say by himself: "Master He, it's like this, there is a portrait of Benhou here, the emperor asked Benhou to find the person in this painting, and please ask Mr. Convenient, post the portrait in Yuanming City, paste it and distribute it, so that we can find it as soon as possible."

Mu Fanchen took out the portrait that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and He Zhongchao hurriedly put down the teacup, took a few steps over to take the portrait, and put it away properly: "Since it is the matter of Lord Mu, you have ordered it, and I will definitely take care of it. "

As expected of Shen Shuxing's subordinates, the words are quite standard, but it has lost Shen Shuxing's strength of character.

Master Mu Xiaohou smiled and replied: "Then I would like to thank Mr. He."

"Young Master Mu, you're being polite." After He Zhongchao said this, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Yuanming is busy with things recently, and in another month, it will be the day when Yuanming sacrifices to the mountain god. There are many and messy things. Whether it is copying portraits or pasting up people to find people, it takes a lot of time for Young Lord Mu. In addition, although Yuanming City is not too big, there are quite a few people. I hope that Young Lord Mu will be more lenient It will be some time."

"Master He's difficulties, the Marquis also knows, but this man is not what the Marquis wants, but the Emperor is looking for. You said that His Majesty wants someone urgently, and the people below us can't help it. Don't worry, Mr. He, you As long as you do your best, His Majesty is merciful, and it doesn't matter if you delay for a day or two."

"Mu Xiaohou handed over this matter to the subordinates. The subordinates must do their best and give Mu Xiaohou a satisfactory explanation."

It's not too difficult for him, no matter whether it's good or bad, he can't figure it out, why is he making excuses in every possible way?Mu Fanchen couldn't figure it out, but since he didn't show good face, Mu Fanchen would naturally be rude.

"Why is this Marquis dissatisfied? Everyone is doing things for His Majesty. To put it bluntly, it's all for Dajing, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty's kindness is immense, and we all receive the kindness of the emperor. Since the young master has confessed to his subordinates, the subordinates will definitely help the young master to do things well."

After these words were said, it can be said that each had their own ghosts and refused to give an inch. Mu Fanchen and He Zhongchao seemed to be talking amicably. After pushing and shoving for a long time, each was tense, and neither of them jumped into the other's trap. , each biting their own arguments, no one is willing to give in.

Mu Fanchen and He Zhongchao laughed amicably, they had cut each other off a long time ago, seeing that they were not fools, besides, Mu Fanchen didn't even understand why He Zhongchao did what he did, and it would be futile to waste it any longer, and said After a few insignificant words, Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man got up and said goodbye.

After leaving the mansion, the two walked side by side tacitly without saying a word, and when they left the alley, Yuan Man asked in a low voice: "Are you still following?"

Mu Fanchen didn't look back, and replied, "Yes."

Yuan Man didn't look back, and asked in a low voice, "Are you coming?"

"bring it on."

Mu Fanchen stopped suddenly, punched the wall next to him, and said angrily, "I'm so mad! That He Zhongchao thought he was something! How dare you talk to me like that! When I get back to the mausoleum Ann, see if I don't ask His Majesty for an order, I'll kill him alive!"

Yuan Man stepped forward to caress his chest, and said to help him, "Master Mu, please calm down, isn't he still useful? Let's wait until someone finds him, and it won't be too late to deal with him."

"What the hell!" Mu Fanchen said more and more angrily: "It's a pity that I told him in a pleasant manner, I really don't know how to praise, and he is the only one? He deserves it!"

"Okay, okay." Yuan Man persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, let's go back, the matter has been explained, even if he thinks about it, he doesn't dare not to do it, let's go back and wait for the news."

"Hmph! I don't even have the guts to let him go. Let's go back." Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man continued to walk forward, and Mu Fanchen said in a low voice, "We still haven't left. It seems that it's not easy to dismiss."

"Go back and let Li Boyan solve it." Yuan Man said.

Mu Fanchen has no objection. He Zhongchao's people want to get rid of him in He Zhongchao's territory. It's impossible. If the two of them come forward to arrest people, it will be more ugly with He Zhongchao. People who have never shown up It is better to deal with it.

When Mu Fanchen and Yuan Man came back to the inn, the other four people hadn’t come back yet, but someone was watching them. It would be strange if the two of them were sitting there staring at each other without making any movement, so they met in the same room , came from inside the house after a while:

"Young Master, it's an agreement, you have to give me a title when I get back to Ling'an."

"That's for sure, who am I, baby, don't talk about your status when the time comes, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Really?"

"That must be true. Come on, let Lord Ben love you well."

I don't know what mood the eavesdropper is in. Young Master Gu, Luo Xiaoxiao, Ye Shulin, and Li Boyan are all standing outside the door, they are almost crazy, they are frightened crazy, what kind of evil is it that these two people are making trouble Such a movement?

Li Boyan kicked the door open without hesitation, then stared at Yuan Man and Mu Fanchen as they moved chairs from left to right and sat in front of the door, drinking tea expressionlessly. Hit the face.

"Hush——" Yuan Man put his finger in front of his lips, and through the cover when the four of them came in, he said softly: "Someone is eavesdropping, Li Boyan drove him away, put him away, don't kill him, don't let him figure it out."

Li Boyan got an explanation, and came back shortly after he went out: "The man escaped."

"Whose person?" Ye Shulin asked.

"He Zhongchao's." Yuan Man replied.

"Prefect Yuanming?" Ye Shulin didn't understand: "Why did he let people follow you?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that he doesn't want to help us. As for why, we don't know." Even if he didn't want to take responsibility and didn't want to help, the hostility he showed was too obvious, almost undisguised. Even if he thought that the young master would not do anything to him, after all, Mu Fanchen was the master, right?

It's really weird that He Zhongchao didn't even maintain the superficial peace.

Yuan Man said, "Do you have any clues here?"

"No." Ye Shulin told Yuan Man and Mu Fanchen what they encountered today: "We thought it would be too strange to just find someone who is a child, so we lied that we wanted to build a house here and bring the elderly over to take care of us." Tiannian, if you need servants like this, you have a reason to inquire about the whereabouts of Ren Yazi."

"But I asked the waiter, and the waiter said that Yuanming doesn't sell houses for outsiders, and doesn't let outsiders settle down."

"why?"

"Say it will ruin their Yuan Ming's Feng Shui."

"Anything like that?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of statement. I asked a few more people specifically, and they all said the same thing. It seems that it is indeed their custom."

"anything else?"

"Also," Luo Xiaoxiao said, "There is still one month left, the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Their mountain god sacrifice is used to pray for good weather and the growth of all things next year."

"Any more?"

"It's gone." Ye Shulin said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I think people in Yuanming are very xenophobic and wary of foreigners. When we were walking on the street today, many people were very wary. Stared at us the whole time."

"The magistrate is not normal, and the people are not normal, it seems that we will not have a good time here." Mu Fanchen said.

"Is there any way?" Yuan Man said helplessly: "It's hard to live, but it's okay, let's pack up and get ready for dinner. Let's go out and have a look together tomorrow. Since others are unreliable, we have to find a way by ourselves."

Everyone left separately. This room belonged to Mu Fanchen and Gu Cheng. Before Yuan Man left, Mu Fanchen praised her: "The show is not bad."

Yuan Man replied, "You're not bad either."

The two said that you come and go, and they don't know if they are talking about today's tacit understanding, or something else.

After Yuan Man left, Young Master Gu looked at Mu Fanchen. Mu Fanchen spread his hands openly, letting him look at it calmly, and asked without complacency, "Isn't it nice?"

"It's not good-looking." Young Master Gu obeyed his heart: "The acting is really good."

"Thank you for the compliment." Mu Fanchen readily accepted.

"..." Why is this person so shameless: "I'm not complimenting you."

"I'll take it as a compliment." She had an expression of what you can do to me.

"…………"

Mu Fanchen felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, his eyes flickered, and when he came back to his senses, Young Master Gu's fist would stop in front of his eyes, and Mu Fanchen stood there, speechless for a while, can it be like this?It is said that it is courtesy first and soldiers later, so it is a disagreement to go straight to the army?

Young Master Gu thought for a while, then withdrew his fist, forget it, bullying the weak was not done by a hero, and besides, he hit Young Master Mu, and he will not be able to explain it tomorrow.
