After making up his mind, Xu Zizhen's previous depression was gone. He was very excited for a while, but he couldn't sleep. He was in a good mood today, and he escaped from Hu Sihai's men successfully. The only thing he felt was a pity was that Duan Chen gave him
Most of the bottle of pepper was used to hit Hu Sihai.
Xu Zizhen got up early the next day and went to the cabin according to his memory. However, there was no one in the cabin and there was no one nearby. Even if he wanted to ask for a message, he couldn't get it.
Now he was a little dumbfounded. Taoist priest Xuan Yi could not be found. Where could he go to find Rong Xi?
By the way, Tianxiahui! Xu Zizhen suddenly remembered what Rong Xi said to him. Since Tianxiahui is an organization, there must be a nest. As long as you ask someone, you will be able to find it sooner or later, and then you can find Taoist Master Xuanyi.
, which is equivalent to finding Rong Xi.
Originally, Lei Captou should be familiar with the news about this Jianghu sect, but he also considered that in case the world would go against the government, he rashly asked Lei Captou, which would be equivalent to revealing the news to Prefect Wen.
, that would be bad. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a person - Li Sheng.
Li Sheng was a manipulator, so he must have known this kind of news, and since he didn't belong to any force, he couldn't let the news out. Thinking of this, he stopped delaying and returned to the city immediately. Now, his spies are everywhere in the city.
It is not difficult to find Li Sheng to set up a stall.
Soon he found Li Sheng in the west of the city. The father and son had just finished practicing moves and were collecting money. Li Meng's sharp eyes saw Xu Zizhen from a distance, and he shouted with joy: "Uncle Xu!"
Xu Zizhen came over and touched his head, pretending to be unhappy and said: "Am I that old? Call me brother!"
Li Sheng came over and said with a smile: "The etiquette must not be messed up. You must be called uncle when you should be called uncle. How come Brother Xu has time to come to see me today?"
Xu Zizhen glanced at Li Luoyan, who was taking care of the guy at the side. When he saw him, he only smiled slightly and lowered his head to take care of the guy. Xu Zizhen was surprised and said to himself: "Why is this girl suddenly determined to marry me?"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and he smiled and said, "I came here because I have something to ask Brother Li."
Li Sheng couldn't help but pull him towards a restaurant not far away: "Let's drink first and talk about anything we have to talk about later."
After entering the restaurant and taking a seat, Li Shengcai asked: "What does Brother Xu want to ask?"
Xu Zizhen looked around and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, does he know what the world knows?"
Li Sheng was a little surprised: "What are you looking for them for? Could it be that they committed a crime in Suzhou City?"
Xu Zizhen laughed and said: "Brother Li, where do you want to go? I'm just asking. Do you know their headquarters...oh, where is the headquarters? I want to ask them about someone."
Li Sheng smiled and said: "I see, I know about this world meeting, but I don't know where the main altar is."
Xu Zizhen suddenly felt disappointed. It seemed that finding Rong Xi was not that simple, so he had to put it aside for now. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, are you finished with your work now? How about we go to the Wang family?"
Li Sheng hesitated for a moment: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Wang family has recently lost its youngest son. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Xu Zizhen slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot about it, forget it, let's talk about it after today."
This was his first Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty, and he had just successfully proposed marriage to Mr. Mo Xie, so he naturally wanted to buy some gifts for dinner later.
While the two were talking, Li Sheng suddenly looked at the corner of the street and asked curiously: "Why did the left-behind mansion dispatch so many soldiers today?"
Xu Zizhen followed his line of sight and saw a group of soldiers and horses with iron helmets and fine armor coming from the west direction of the city. Their military appearance was solemn and their steps were neat. They were walking quickly towards the east. In the lead was a man wearing a red robe and leather belt, riding a horse with bright fur.
The horse was very arrogant and arrogant. There was another rider beside him. Sitting on the horse was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a slight beard under his chin. There was a flattering smile between his eyebrows. He was talking to the man in a low voice.
Talk.
Someone at the next table whispered: "Isn't this Kong Liusou?"
"It's him. I just don't know who the person next to him is."
"You two are so ignorant. Just by looking at his uniform, you can tell that he is an imperial envoy."
Xu Zizhen heard this clearly, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he secretly shouted: "No! This is for Mr. Wen!"
Yesterday Rong Xi told him that Prefect Wen was going to be in trouble. Originally, he didn't know what kind of disaster Prefect Wen was going to have, but when he heard the word imperial envoy, his heart suddenly brightened. Now he couldn't sit still anymore, and Li
Sheng said hello and hurried downstairs towards the government office.
When he came to the gate of the government office, he saw that the soldiers and horses were already lined up neatly at the gate. He felt anxious, so he quickened his pace and walked around to the side gate, crossed the yard and came to the door of the inner hall. He heard from a distance
Someone in the inner hall was reading loudly: "Wen Chengyan is leading the Qin Feng Road Propaganda Envoy, and also knows the Lanzhou Prefecture. There is no mistake in taking office today. I appreciate this!"
Then I heard Magistrate Wen respond loudly: "Your Majesty Wen Chengyan accepts the decree! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where Qin Feng Road was, but he knew very well about Lanzhou. It was the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, connecting the two countries of Xixia and Tubo. It was windy and sandy all year round and had a harsh climate. It was completely different from Suzhou.
The difference is that if a good official like Magistrate Wen is transferred there, it means that he will not be promoted or demoted, but in fact, he will suffer.
Suddenly, another voice sounded in the inner hall. It was not Magistrate Wen or the imperial envoy. It must be Kong Qilin who was left behind. He chuckled and said sadly: "Master Wen, I wonder where the man named Xu Zizhen under your command is now.
?”
Xu Zizhen was startled and hid behind a rockery to listen carefully. He only heard Magistrate Wen say calmly: "Xu Zizhen is just a commoner and not a subordinate of this government. Master Kong may have made a mistake."
Kong Qilin snorted coldly: "This Xu Zizhen has committed a serious crime by sneaking into the left-behind residence and stealing property. Mr. Wen, since you have been transferred to another place, please do not protect your subordinates anymore, otherwise I am afraid it will be detrimental to you."
Magistrate Wen said calmly: "I don't know what Mr. Kong means by this. Xu Zizhen is indeed not under my command, so how can I protect him? As for his theft, I really don't know."
Xu Zizhen heard clearly, and an evil fire suddenly emerged in his chest. There was no need to blame him. Now he finally understood what it meant to have something unwarranted.
I can't stand there any longer, I have to leave immediately!
Thinking of this, he quietly retreated, carefully returned to his room, packed up his few things, and when he came to the side door, he was about to step out, but saw a dozen people already outside the door.
Soldiers guarded it there.
Xu Zizhen immediately stopped and his heart tightened. He was in trouble now. The magistrate's office was surrounded and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
A soldier outside the door accidentally caught a glimpse of Xu Zizhen. He grabbed the steel knife at his waist and was about to step forward to interrogate him. Suddenly, a graceful figure walked by and scolded Xu Zizhen: "Afu, why don't you hire a car?"
?”
Xu Zizhen turned around and saw that it was Wen Xian. He was moved in his heart, knowing that she was covering for him. He hurriedly cooperated and bowed and said: "Yes, I will go right now!" After that, he quickly walked out of the door as if nothing had happened.
, grinned at the soldier and said, "Master, I'm in a hurry, can you do it for me?"
The soldier looked at him carefully and saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes. The clothes were of poor quality and his cloth shoes had a small hole in them. He really looked like a coachman. He stopped questioning him immediately and let him go with a wave of his hand.
Xu Zizhen was able to escape. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately started running towards Xie Fuchun. The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger: If you dare to cheat on me, you all will wait for me!
