There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

When Zheng Shiqi heard what he said, he knew that he was Yun.He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and left with Nineteen.Qinglong has been watching silently by the side, waiting for them to leave, then came over to stroke Xiao's hair, and said with a smile:

"You just sent away a Yunxiu, and you got these two live treasures. It seems that I want to walk with you alone, but I can't do anything."

Xiao Yang raised his head to look at his expression, Qinglong's appearance was really not happy, but it was not angry at all, it was just a bit of a joke.Xiao also smiled and said:

"The two of us have walked the rivers and lakes together, and we have no experience at all. Even though you are not afraid of anything, it is still easy to show your hidden possessions. If the Holy Majesty finds out, I don't know how much trouble will be added. With these two people following, some things will be easier. You can avoid the past, and when you have to take action, you can also let the two of them do it for you, saving a lot of trouble."

Qinglong laughed:

"You can come up with so many excuses, and I don't care if you want these two people to follow you. It's just that you have to keep an eye on your luggage. Don't wake up one day and find that everything has been stolen."

"What's the matter, I'm not afraid if you're here."

The two laughed for a while, and went back to the residence together.The next morning, they got up early, thinking that if the Zheng brothers didn't come, they would just leave on their own.I didn't want the brothers of the Zheng family to get up earlier, as soon as they came out, they saw the two brothers already waiting at the door.

The two brothers wore the same clothes, had the same hairstyle, and were almost exactly the same in height, short, fat, and thin, and it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference.But Qinglong knew that Zheng Shiqi's expression was more serious than his brother's.At this time, Shijiu's wine had already woken up, so he came to kneel down and gave him two kowtows:

"Nineteen doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. I offended you two a few days ago, please forgive me. Now my brother wants to follow you, and Nineteen is willing to follow, but he is sent."

Xiao looked at the Zheng brothers and said:

"The two of us are neither high-ranking officials nor heroes. In fact, we don't need any followers. If you two brothers want to seek some kind of background, following us will not be of any help. If you insist on being my followers, From then on, you can no longer do that stealthy thing. I will demote you according to the example I followed Yunxiu before, and I will give each of you five taels of silver per month. The rest will be spent by us. Five taels of silver is for you It may not be much, but judging from the monthly money of a general follower, it is quite a lot, if you think it is not enough, then don’t follow us and do what you should do.”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and Qi Qi said:

"We agreed to this condition. Five taels of silver is enough, and we don't dare to think too little."

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, the Zheng brothers followed Xiao and Qinglong.

The two of them don't have mounts. The horse that Zheng Shiqi rode before belonged to Lao Sun, and it has already been returned to him at this moment.Now that we have to travel together, it is impossible not to ride a horse.Fortunately, the Zheng brothers had borrowed money from Feng Chuo before, and now they used up all the money to buy two horses, and the money was spent.

Four people walk together.The Zheng brothers are very familiar with this area,

Besides, Feng Chuo, he stayed up all night to finish writing the documents to report, and left for the capital the next day.This place is not too close to the capital, even though he traveled day and night, it took a full seven days.He handed in the paperwork, and the old eunuch in charge of the matter glanced at him and told him to come back tomorrow.

Feng Chuo had also handed in urgent confidential documents in the past. Sometimes he could get a reward, but sometimes he could only get a scolding.At this time, when he heard that he was asked to come back tomorrow, he felt quite uneasy.

He has always been cautious, knowing that the Holy Majesty has already announced to the world that King Jin is dead, so he dare not write King Jin's name.He just wrote down all the words he got out of Zheng Shijiu's mouth and the physical characteristics of the two people in detail, and let the Holy Majesty judge for himself.However, if the writing is too cryptic, I'm afraid the report will not reach the Holy Majesty's hands.Originally, he was only proficient in writing and ink, so it took a lot of thinking to write this official document. Now that he handed it in, he didn't know if it would be possible.

He didn't sleep well that night, and on the second day, he went to the yamen to ask about the situation, and saw the old eunuch who usually said nothing, but now he was full of joy:

"Are you here? Let me tell you, you've had good luck this time. The people above saw what you handed in and said they wanted to see you."

The old eunuch smiled happily, but Feng Chuo felt a little nervous when he saw his appearance.

The people above want to see him?This has never happened.Feng Chuo was worried, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.He secretly regretted it, maybe he got the news and shouldn't have reported it.Although money is useful, it is not as important as life. If you inadvertently find out something that the superiors do not want others to know, it will easily cost your life.

But now he has nothing else to do, the higher-ups want him to go, so he can't just run away because of fear.He didn't know what to do, so he stuffed a piece of silver into the old eunuch's hand.

Although Feng Chuo also understands that the old eunuch is not a person who has the final say, if the higher-ups decide to kill him, the result will be the same whether they give the old eunuch money or not.But he still gave the money, as if he felt that he had a bottom line in his heart.

The old eunuch smiled even more happily, and a chrysanthemum bloomed on his face, which was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.He stretched out his hand to point Feng Chuo in the direction and told him to go inside to meet Shangguan.

The old eunuch's Shangguan was also a eunuch, but he was much younger, his skin was tight and shiny, and he looked well maintained.He asked Feng Chuo some questions, and Feng Chuo answered them one by one.He seemed quite satisfied with Feng Chuo's answer, and didn't say anything else, but told him to go back first and come back tomorrow.

Feng Chuo was relieved at first, but when he heard that he was expected to come back tomorrow, he felt a little uneasy.

What will happen tomorrow?Today, everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be asked has been asked, but he just can't figure out why he has to do it again.

Feng Chuo gritted his teeth.

Forget it, come and come, if you don't have some courage, you won't do this.If it is done well this time, it seems to be able to get a lot of rewards.It can't just fall short.

On the third day Feng Chuo went again, but no one saw him, neither rewarded him with money, nor allowed him to leave, but asked him to wait at the old eunuch's place.He waited until evening before a young man from Huangmen led him in.He followed the young man through the yellow door, passing through several doors, turning many corners, and passing through many palace walls before arriving at a room.The little yellow door told him to wait in the room and he was not allowed to wander around, and went out to answer by himself.

What kind of place has such a deep yard?Feng Chuo stayed in that room for a long time before he realized that he had arrived in the palace.

This made him nervous: Could it be that the Holy Majesty wants to ask questions in person?If the Holy Majesty asked him, what should he say?

While hesitating, Feng Chuo suddenly heard the footsteps of many people coming this way, and the little yellow gate who brought him here just now walked in front of him and told him to kneel down quickly.Feng Chuo quickly knelt down, not daring to raise his head.I could only hear footsteps around me.

Feng Chuo didn't look up and couldn't see, but he just felt that there were many people standing here.No one told him to look up, he just lay low.

A clear voice asked him a question, but it had nothing to do with the dragon, just a few gossip.Feng Chuo didn't dare to hide anything, so he answered them one by one.The man seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and said a few words to the people around him.Feng Chuo heard the whole room go out.

Feng Chuo thought everyone was gone, and just about to look up, he heard the voice again, asking him about the content of his report.Feng Chuo had already answered some of these questions, so he didn't need to think about them at this time.Those who haven't answered it before have to think about it.I don't know some things, and I dare not guess at will, so I have to honestly say that I don't know.

The man asked for a long time, and Feng Chuo felt that his legs hurt from kneeling, but he didn't dare to move.Although no one told him who it was, he instinctively realized who it was.

The man seemed quite satisfied with him, asked him a few more questions, and allowed him to go down.Feng Chuo's legs were already numb from kneeling, and he almost fell when he got up.But he still didn't dare to look up, he just asked the little yellow gate next to him to help him, and led him out of the palace.

Someone stuffed him with a bag of reward money, I don't know how much it was, and he held it heavily in his hand.He knew the rules in the palace, whether it was the little yellow gate who led the way, or the old eunuch who had always dealt with him before, he would pay some money to honor him.Everyone was satisfied, the little yellow door said that he must have a future, and the old eunuch also smiled and said that next year's rating, he must be on the top, if he can get other information that the Holy Master is interested in recently, maybe Can get a formal job.Hearing these words, Feng Chuo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his trip was worthwhile.

It was dusk when he came out with the rest of the prize money, the sun was setting and the sky was full of clouds.He opened the bag containing the reward silver and looked at it. It turned out that he didn't know how much there was, but now there were only 30 taels left.

Feng Chuo gave a wry smile, and suddenly he didn't know what the purpose of his trip was.After all, he really didn't know what he had been doing all these years.But life still has to be lived, and the money has to be sent home every year.His parents and wife in his hometown are still counting on his little money to live.As for the others... Sometimes it's not good to think too much, it's useless, life is just like this, day by day, if you die, it's over.

Feng Chuo returned to his residence with the silver, rode on his skinny horse, and left the capital.
