Being a bodyguard next to the emperor sounds very noble, but in fact it is a very useless profession. It is a military management and there is not much oil and wealth. From time to time, you have to look at the emperor's face. There are many big shots around and no one can offend you.

But being the governor of Kaifeng, Du Tou, was a completely different story. Although he and Chai Rong had not yet shown their faces in public, well-informed people had already come to visit him.

Xu Xian left Liuhe Bay early in the morning and found a breakfast stall to eat. As soon as he took a bite of sesame seed cake, a head came over from the side.

This man's eyebrows are fair, but his natural three-petal mouth looks a bit ferocious. There is no lip filling surgery at this time. If he still smiles at you, he will be even more ferocious.

Xu Xian was caught off guard and was startled by him. He raised his hand and punched him right in the eye. The man suddenly sat on the ground, still grinning and showing Xu Xian the most charming smile.

"Who are you to come here early in the morning to scare me?"

The man stood up from the ground and came to Xu Xian's side again. From his ugly face, you could vaguely tell a bit of flattery, "The villain's name is Zhang Bu'er, and he is the leader of the Qinglong Gang. I heard that everyone was walking with their heads up.

Just follow me to say a few words."

His nasal voice is very heavy and his voice is a bit muffled, like an actor from a later cross talk club.

In the past two days, Xu Xian met too many people who came to show their courtesy, including those who opened gambling stalls, some who opened brothels, and some who were doing business, and the most common ones were these young green men who hang out in the market.

As Xu Xian was walking on the street, someone would pop out of nowhere, state his name, flatter him a bit, and hand over a heavy bag of money.

This made Xu Xian dumbfounded, and he was very surprised how they knew him. After asking about it, he found out that his portrait had been spread all over their "circle of friends". It felt good to be noticed. No wonder people in future generations would

I like to be a star.

Xu Xian reached out and patted the table, "Just put your things here!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Qinglong Association immediately put his hands into his arms, and after groping for a long time, he finally slapped his hands on the table, with a hint of embarrassment and shyness on his ugly face.

Xu Xian understood the moment he picked up his hand. His dirty hand left only three copper coins on the table, and a rusty one that seemed to be the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty.

"The villain's Qinglong Gang doesn't have a territory yet. Please give me some guidance. We will definitely show filial piety to you when we get money in the future."

It turns out that they are a group of rookies who want to bribe me with only three copper coins. They are either ignorant and fearless or shameless.

Xu Xian chuckled, "Why do you want Pontius to show you the way with three copper coins on the table?"

"There are also six brothers behind me!" Zhang Buer said and took out a copper hairpin from his arms, "There is also my mother's hairpin."

Xu Xian finally figured it out. Not only did this guy have an ugly head, but he also had a bad head. There were clearly eight people behind him, so how could there be six? Such a person who was the leader of a meeting might have been helping count money after he was sold.

Furthermore, anyone who can steal my mother's hairpin and pay bribes is definitely a scumbag. Xu Xian was thinking about how to deal with him when the diners at the next table suddenly came out and pressed down the three copper coins and hairpin on the table, "That's a concession."

I caught someone with stolen goods once."

Xu Xian saw that this man was only about thirty years old. He was wearing a Confucian shirt and looked like a scholar. "Who are you and why are you meddling in my business?"

"I am Li Dai, the imperial censor of Luoyang. I always hate corrupt officials like you the most. This time I was transferred to Kaifeng to serve. I never expected to witness a dirty deal just after I entered the city.

Now that the stolen goods have been obtained, if you tell me honestly who your name is, I will go to court to impeach you, and you will be dismissed from office."

Li Dai? A very familiar name. I always feel like I have heard it somewhere. Could it be that he is a historical celebrity?

Judging from his impassioned look, he is clearly an old angry young man. Fortunately, he is serving in Luoyang. If he were in Kaifeng, he would not be able to dance around for a few days, and I am afraid he would not have the chance to become a historical celebrity.

If he were not a historical figure, Xu Xian would not be polite to him. He raised his fingers at Zhang Buer and said, "Don't you want me to give you a clear path? Give him a good beating, from here to Zhouqiao

The positions are all the chassis of your Qinglong Gang."

"Okay!" Zhang Buer greeted without thinking: "Brothers, beat him up. From now on, our Qinglong Gang will have territory."

How could a Confucian scholar beat a group of green men? Li Dai soon fell to the ground, stretched out his hand toward the sky and roared unwillingly, "I am sworn in with sin!"

Xu Xian put down a piece of silver to him as money for soup and medicine, then stood up and left, sighing: "The life of rich people is so simple and boring."

As for those idiots from the Qinglong Gang, they should have had a conflict with the original gang, and after being beaten with bruises and swollen faces, they would have gone to the dock to fight against the sacks.

He just arrived at the Kaifeng government office, and before he entered the door, he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Zhao Kuangyin walking towards him quickly, his round black face smiling like a big happy event.

"Why are you so happy about a good thing? Could it be that my sister-in-law is pregnant again?"

"Why bother going home? I just came out of the palace. It's not convenient to enter the Yamen here."

As the head of the Capital Armed Police Corps, Zhao Kuangyin naturally has an office of his own.

After entering the public house, he took out a paper bag from his arms, which contained brightly yellow pancakes. He handed a few to Xu Xian and started to eat them himself.

The pancakes at this time were very different from the pancakes of later generations. They were made of chopped vegetables and flour and then fried in a pan. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin stretching his cheeks like a woodchuck, Xu Xian said impatiently: "What good thing is it? If you don't tell me, I will leave."

"I really don't have the patience to wait for me to finish eating." Zhao Kuangyin swallowed the food in his mouth, "A big event happened in the court today. In front of all the civil and military officials, His Majesty asked Li Chongjin to kowtow to the King of Jin.

."

"Oh, that's really a big deal. Li Chongjin has a violent personality and he's willing to do it?"

"How dare he disobey His Majesty's orders? If he knocks his head off, he will no longer have the face to compete with the King of Jin for the throne."

"Perhaps he was the one who framed the King of Jin a few days ago. Your Majesty has seen his true face and no longer tolerates the traitor. He has completely eliminated his thoughts."

"I think there is another reason. His Majesty is very ugly when he goes to court today. I'm afraid he won't have much time left." Zhao Kuangyin looked a little sad. Without Guo Wei's support, he would not be where he is today.

Xu Xian muttered in his heart: "No, not until next year at most."
