458: Panoramic view of the world’s beautiful scenery
August Equinox·Beijing
The refreshing autumn is about to leave, and the coldness of early winter is gradually showing. A night of frost and rain has blown off the maple leaves in the capital, and it is already late autumn in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning in the capital, people are still busy. Vendors come to the capital carrying charcoal firewood brought from outside the city to sell. Passers-by take a look at it from time to time and ask: "Why are charcoal fires so expensive this year?"
The hawker squatted in the corner and listened to the sound of asking prices. He slowly twisted his plump body, poked his head out of the washed cotton clothes, and replied impatiently: "Whether you want to buy it or not, my charcoal comes from the mountains."
Of course the price for the first batch that came back was more expensive.”
“You get what you pay for, I guarantee you’ll be burning for at least two hours.”
The passerby first took out a piece of black charcoal from the pole and shook it in his hand. Then he shook his head secretly, turned around and left. Before leaving, he cursed secretly: "Who are you fooling with this piece of junk?"
, a complete profiteer!”
When the hawker saw the man walking away and turning the corner, he smiled contemptuously and said in a low voice: "Of course I'm fooling you. These losers from the Inspection Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice really don't think highly of me!"
After saying that, the vendor slowly stood up and patted the dust off his body. He could lift the basket full of charcoal with one hand and climbed over the high wall behind him with one movement and entered the yard behind him.
"Brother Chen, breakfast is ready and waiting for you." At this time, Haitang walked out of the house carrying plates of green vegetables and saw Chen Pi climbing over the wall and said.
"When I just came back, I found out that those losers from the Ministry of Justice also sent out hidden stakes to monitor us." Chen Pi first put the pole against the courtyard wall, then scooped out water from the well and washed his dark hands, and looked at Haitang and asked
: "My lord, is he here today too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from inside the house and said: "There have been a lot of hidden stakes outside the courtyard recently. There are people from the Criminal Department and City Guards. I don't know which force the rest belong to."
"Can't they use their brains? In the past, our street was deserted, but now there are a large group of vendors and pedestrians coming and going outside. Anyone who is not blind can see it, right?!"
"If you are just setting up a stall to sell things, I won't say anything. What kind of trouble are those jugglers and monkeys at the door doing?" Wu Zhongxian walked out of the house angrily. Even Si Jinglan, who was following him as cold as ice, heard this
I couldn't hold back my smile.
In fact, this cannot be attributed to these hidden piles. Jianghu Division is far away from the east and west cities, and its location is also far away from the main traffic arteries.
In particular, the Jianghu Department is located deep in Shenzangfang, and there are generally few pedestrians going there on weekdays.
Those hidden stakes were confused when faced with such a mission, and they had no choice. Since there was an order from above to keep an eye on the newly appointed director of Jianghu Division, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
The streets around the Jianghu Division are not big. Basically, the passers-by that these hidden stakes encounter are all acquaintances of their own department. Maybe the old farmer selling melons on the street corner is his captain.
In the end, if these hidden stakes wanted to go out on a mission, they had to travel during off-peak hours, and the stalls and vendors all around were full of warehouses. All the hidden stakes sighed one after another, this Jianghu Chief is really powerful! Anyone who secretly monitors him
So many that you have to queue up!
On the contrary, the people living around Jianghu Division are the happiest. On weekdays, the vendors don't even come. If you want to buy something, you have to go out for half a day to the east and west markets.
This is great! From daily necessities to rice, noodles, grains and oils, to street snacks for three meals a day, you can say you have it all!
Later, the business scope of these hidden piles expanded to an unbelievable level.
Maybe they were blacksmithing and buying pots in the south of the street, and when they got to the north of the street, another group of people set up a stage to perform.
There are blacksmiths here, and opera singers there. It’s so lively around the Jianghu Department every day!
The big stage of Jianghu Division, if you have a dream, come...
What's more, an old man blocked the street and opened a bookstore on the spot to start a class!
Every day when Wu Zhongxian passes by, he can see the white-haired old man holding his goatee in his left hand and holding a copy of the "Three Character Classic" in his right hand. He is shaking his head at the three or two half-year-old children in front of him who are babbling and learning to speak. He said: "It's the father's fault if you don't teach."
The next second a child popped out, tilted his head and looked at the old man with innocent eyes, and said: "Teacher! Why can't the little dog bark? Is it my father's fault?"
"This dog is not that dog. The dog here means if." The white-haired old man would explain patiently to the children every time.
So dedicated! This old man is into the drama!
Even Wu Zhongxian has to admire the creativity of these people!
Over the past few days, such hidden secrets have really explained to Wu Zhongxian and others that as long as the spirit does not decline, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
However, the hidden stakes coming and going outside the hospital disguised as passers-by are all cannon fodder on the surface. The six real spies are still hidden in Jianghu Department, and those people are the main force monitoring Wu Zhongxian.
"Hehehe, doesn't this show my lord your status in the hearts of all the officials?" Chen Pi flattered Wu Zhongxian when he saw him coming.
No matter how Wu Zhongxian's identity changes, he will still be the same Chen Pi...
"Don't come here, how did you do what I asked you to do?" Wu Zhongxian rolled his eyes at the tangerine peel angrily, and the next second he took the white porridge handed over by Haitang. He only took a small taste and then sincerely praised Haitang's craftsmanship. .
Chen Pi, who was standing aside, was stunned for half a second, and then praised in his heart: "As expected of my lord, he can learn anything quickly!"
"Reporting to my lord, everything you asked Chen Pi to be done has been settled. I have spread the news about the reconstruction of the Jianghu Division. I believe that the secret spies who were dismissed from the Jianghu Division before will be able to receive the news."
"It's just that such a long time has passed, and I don't know how many people can come back. Alas."
Chen Pi didn't say this, he just regretted it secretly in his heart. He recalled that in the past, there were so many talented people in Jianghu Division. The Thirty-sixth Division, including Chen Pi, was in charge of all the divisions. They were spread throughout the thirty-six counties of the Qin Dynasty and created a great reputation. Everyone in the world knows it!
Now those past events have become empty in an instant, and they have all turned into a breeze and drifted away into smoke.
The whereabouts of the former director of the Jianghu Department are still unknown, and some of his colleagues have hidden themselves in Jianghu and no longer care about him, while some have switched to other people's services. It is still unclear whether they will be friends or foes if they meet again.
And more people died in the catastrophe in Jianghu Division.
When he thought of this, Chen Pi picked up the white porridge in his hand and wolfed it down. He was afraid that he would cry if he couldn't hold it back, and he was even more afraid that his tearful eyes would be seen by his lord.
Chen Pi knows his position in the current Jianghu Division. He is the knife in the master's hand, and the coldest knife! There is no room for him to be soft-hearted!
"Look, Haitang! Don't say I'm complimenting you against my will, look how happy you are eating the tangerine peel!" Wu Zhongxian said to Haitang with a smile.
Then Wu Zhongxian patted Chen Pi's heavy shoulder again and whispered:
"Although I don't know what kind of hardships Jianghu Division has gone through, now Jianghu Division is under my control. Believe me, I, Wu Zhongxian, will take you to pay off the debts owed by those people one by one!"
Wu Zhongxian looked at Chen Pi who put down his rice bowl. Two tears shed unconsciously from the corner of his eyes, and then said: "Chen Pi, I want you to always remember that you are not a knife in anyone's hand, nor a tool that can be thrown away casually."
"You are my companion, Wu Zhongxian. I will take you throughout the entire Chinese mainland to take in all the beautiful scenery in the world!"
"So Chen Pi, you have to follow me closely." Wu Zhongxian said with a smile.
At this time, Chen Pi seemed to see General Wang again, sitting in front of him, overlapping with Wu Zhongxian's figure.
Chen Pi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then showed his usual smile, but this time he was extra sincere and said softly:
"Lord, please walk slower, Chen Pi will definitely follow you!"
