Duan Yunjie held the table, looked at Xu Ping's departure from afar, and sighed secretly. ●⌒She is different from others. She is not a weak woman who cannot survive without her parents. She should have a different life from others.

Not far away, Tan Erniang was talking to Zhou Chui'an, while other imperial guards drove Wu Er to the noisy.

Duan Yunjie looked at them and sometimes she really didn't know what happiness was. Tan Erniang was once in a state of chaos, but now she is satisfied with being able to meet Zhou Chui'an every few days. She has never felt how difficult the future will be.

Xiaohuangmen put away all kinds of side dishes in his hand and said to Duan Yunjie: "It's late, I'll go back first. The wife of the Duan family will come here tomorrow morning to calculate the money with you."

"The head of the pavilion walks slowly."

The little yellow gate carried the vegetables, walked around the corner of the street, and walked into the palace through the back door.

The one guarding the palace gate was the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial Palace Guards were the Lord of the Palace Front Division. These people were familiar with Xiaohuangmen. They came up and laughed and searched the body of Xiaohuangmen, said hello, let him enter the palace, turned into the back garden and walked to the Queen's Palace.

In the side room of the main hall, Shi Quanbin sat alone guarding the lamp. He held up all the chores in the Queen's Hall, not the queen's follower, and did not have to follow the queen to call her.

At this time, the queen was having fun with the emperor in the back garden, and it was not easy for them to come forward.

Speaking of the queen and the emperor, Shi Quanbin was full of troubles.

Queen Guo is tough and pampered her when she was there. She was used to saying a word in the harem. When the empress dowager left, she lost the people who supported the queen and made a mess in the harem.

Emperor Zhao Zhen is not a licentious person, but he still likes women very much. He is soft-hearted. Without the control of the queen mother, he has had a fight with a few beautiful concubines in the harem. Recently, especially Shang Meiren and Yang Meiren, they are particularly favored in front of the emperor. Yang Meiren's mouth is also unforgivable, and she often quarrels with the queen who is watching coldly.

The women were having a quarrel, and the eunuchs were in trouble.

Shi Quanbin is from the queen's side. He was originally the dominant one against the two beauties, but Yan Wen should have a kick and protect the two beauties everywhere. Shi Quanbin couldn't raise his head. He was not upset when he saw it, so there was no need for him to not seek anger.

There was no one in the harem who had the right to make a decision, and the quarrel was even more lively than the wealthy families outside.

This can only be blamed for the current owner of the harem, Empress Dowager Yang. She is too soft-hearted and can't be cruel to anyone. As a result, no one in the palace is afraid of her. Although Empress Guo is tough, she does not have the authority of the Empress Dowager, and has no means, and no one pays attention to her when she speaks.

When Shi Quanbin heard the door ringing, he turned around and saw the little yellow gate coming and asked, "Why is it longer today than usual?"

Xiao Huangmen said: "People's chief, it's a coincidence. Today I happened to meet Judge Yutie Xu in the store. I bowed and said a few greetings, and it was delayed."

"Judge Xu?" Shi Quanbin reacted immediately, "Are you talking about Xu Ping?"

"Not. He took the official to Niuma City today and happened to have dinner there. Also, I see that Ms. Xu's little lady Duan, who opened the shop, seemed familiar, and the two of them had a good conversation!"

"Which little lady Duan?" Shi Quanbin pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that when he arrived in Yongzhou, there was Duan Fang, a magistrate of Taiping County. Occasionally, he heard that his daughter was also doing some chores and was outstanding in his studies. At that time, he only thought that the remote areas of Yongzhou were not like the Central Plains. A woman did not be afraid of showing up in public. Could it be that she had also arrived in the capital?

Thinking of this, Shi Quanbin stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a while, turned to Xiao Huangmen and said, "Tomorrow, you will go to the store to ask clearly, did that little lady Duan come from Yongzhou? Why did she live in the capital?"

Xiao Huangmen Yingnuo: "But it happened that the money today has not been calculated yet, so I will ask them together tomorrow."

Shi Quanbin nodded and looked at the dark night outside.

Since the emperor took power, both inside and outside the court have been liquidating the connections of the empress dowager when he was in power. Although Fan Zhongyan has advised him that the ministers inside and outside are not allowed to talk about the gains and losses of the empress dowager when he was in power, he said that he would not allow him to speak, and the liquidation is still in progress.

Shi Quanbin and Empress Dowager Liu have nothing to do with him. It is said that he should be the one who has benefited, and the bad will be the one who has ruined her. Empress Guo was originally appointed by the Empress Dowager, and she has been proud of her in the palace for several years with the power of the Empress Dowager. But now the situation has changed, but she has not realized that she should restrain herself. Recently, the newly favored beauty has been competing for favor.

Sooner or later, Shi Quanbin felt that he was wronged.

The most popular person in the palace today is Yan Wenying. It’s not that the emperor likes him much. Zhao Zhen’s temperament has always been that people who are really close to him may not be able to make much cheaper. Yan Wenying’s real backer is Empress Dowager Yang, and Empress Dowager Yang is nostalgic.

Shi Quanbin felt a little powerless in the palace. He now hopes that Xu Ping from the outside court can help him attack Yan Wenying.

The Imperial City Department has two commands under the Imperial City Department, and its main responsibility is to guard the palace gate and control the keys. The defense of the Imperial City Department does not really rely on them. They rely on the elite troops of the Palace Front Department, which are the elite troops among the elite troops, selected from the entire world. The Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department has a role in restraining the Imperial City Department, guarding the Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department's Imperial City Department has guarded them in separate ways and patrolled in the palace.

In the imperial guards camp of the Imperial City not far from the palace, Wu Er took a few casual guards who usually mingled together early in the morning, and did not participate in the morning training. He stood on the side of the road in the military camp and cursed Zhou Chui'an.

This is a scenery in the imperial guards, and it is difficult to control the fierce soldiers. Because the direct command of the military officers has no power to control them, and the superiors use these fierce soldiers to restrain the command of the military officers, which is also one of the bad habits inherited from the Five Dynasties of Imperial Guards.

The sun was rising, and the imperial guards who had finished morning training returned to the camp to cook, but Wu Er and his men were still scolding each other.

Zhou Chui'an was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He held the handle of the knife several times, but was held tightly by his confidants. In the military camp, there were backgrounds and officers who could do whatever they wanted. Those who had no background like him should be honest.

Wu Er was proud to see Zhou Chui'an's reaction: "You still have to draw your sword? Grandpa is here to stretch his neck and wait for you. If you bring the seed, come up and chop it up! Zhimo, grandpa tells you that you are not the final decision in this military camp, but as long as you leave the military camp, it is the final decision! If you dare to transfer us out this time, you should not leave the military camp!"

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the camp gate, and officers and soldiers from afar salute: "I have seen the Grand Marshal!"

Before Wu Eryi could react, dozens of horses were rolled up in front of him in the blink of an eye.

A strong middle-aged man in front looked up and down at Wu Er and others standing in the middle of the road, and said in a deep voice: "Why is it noisy?"

Zhou Chui'an quickly walked forward and crossed his hands at the middle-aged man: "Report to the Taiwei, the young soldiers were unable to think about it for a while because of trivial matters, and they made noise here and disturbed the Taiwei!"

After saying that, he turned around and said to Wu Er and others: "Why don't you come up and apologize!"

Wu Er was stunned for a while, and after seeing clearly that Yang Jingzhong, who was doing business in the Imperial City Company, waved his hand to Zhou Chui'an: "You are bullying your superiors and concealing your subordinates, what are you talking nonsense! It is obvious that you are unfair in your affairs, so I will ask you for justice here! The Taiwei is here, and he is just in charge of us, so that you can know that my imperial guards in the Song Dynasty are still in military law!"

Yang Jingzong looked at Wu Er with a cold face and asked in a deep voice: "What's your name?"

Wu Er whispered loudly: "Little Wu Er, the native of this city!"

Yang Jingzong nodded and looked at Zheng Dahai next to Wu Er.

Zheng Dahai hurriedly crossed his hands: "The little Zheng Dahai is also from this city."

Yang Jingzong had a gloomy face, his lips curled up, as if he had a smile.

Wu Er and Zheng Dahai were overjoyed and looked at Yang Jingzong with eager eyes.

Yang Jingzong was the cousin of Empress Dowager Yang. When he was young, he was a rascal in the capital. He has always been an idol of Wu Er. When Yang Jingzong was in a downturn, he used to do odd jobs when Ding Wei built a house and helped him carry the land in the house. Later, Empress Dowager Yang entered the palace and his status gradually increased, and Yang Jingzong became prosperous. When Ding Wei fell, Zhao Zhen, whom Empress Dowager Yang raised, had already taken over the throne, and Ding Wei's house was given to Yang Jingzong again.

The social status of this era has changed drastically, and such legendary stories emerge one after another.

Zhao Zhen was raised by the two empress dowagers. Empress Dowager Liu was harsh and Empress Dowager Yang was doting. This kind of hard and soft childhood experience created Zhao Zhen’s unique character. Later, I learned that his biological mother was Empress Dowager Li, Zhao Zhen was more or less resentful towards Empress Dowager Liu, but he always regarded Empress Dowager Yang as the closest person he was. This kind of family affection also affected his attitude towards Yang Jingzong.

If it weren't for Yang Jingzong's rogue habits and were too unsuccessful, his status would not be inferior to Li Yonghe.

Yang Jingzong looked at Wu Er and Zheng Dahai's eager expressions, turned his face and shouted sternly to the personal soldiers behind him: "There is nothing in the military camp, so where is the military law? Come on, these two jailers who led the trouble, Wu Er and Zheng Dahai, each of them beat a hundred military sticks to serve as a warning to others!"

As he said that, he winked at the personal soldiers.

The personal soldiers understood it and led the man off the horse, rushed over and kicked Wu Er and Zheng Dahai who had not yet reacted to the ground, dragged it to the side, took off their shirts, exposed their backs, and took the military sticks they carried with them.

According to the system, the upper part of the punishment rod is flat and elastic, and the spine rod will not take human life. But today Yang Jingzong came to take the lives of these two people. He had already done his tricks on the military rod, and the executioners were all veterans and masters.

At first, when I heard the two people yelling like pigs, the people around me understood it and knew that this was a veteran and would sing a show with the executioner. When I got to the side, the screams became lower and lower, and I realized that something was wrong. When I reached fifty or sixty, there was no sound at all. The soldiers watching felt heartbroken.

The personal soldiers who were executed did not care about it, and the ones who were injured went up to Tantan to find out that they had lost their breath. They turned to Yang Jingzong and crossed their hands and said, "Taiwei, these two people are usually lazy and do not participate in the exercise. Their bodies are empty, and they can't stand the spine stick, and they have lost their lives!"

Yang Jingzong looked at Zhou Chui'an and said in a deep voice: "The lazy soldiers and soldiers can't even stand the stick. How can they go to the battlefield? They dare to gather here to cause trouble. The body will be exposed for one day. You will collect it for him tomorrow!"

After saying that, he took his personal soldiers away.

Last night, Xu Ping looked for Li Zhang overnight. Li Zhang looked for Yang Jingzong early in the morning, and killed two people by the morning.

Li Zhang and Yang Jingzong are relatives of two different empress dowagers, and they are in common. More importantly, Yang Jingzong is good at wine. These days, he and Ma Chai Zongqing's family jointly bought the iron filing building, one of the 72 main stores, and wanted to buy liquor from the Xu family.

Now the Xu family's liquor business has grown. Although the scale cannot be compared with the top-quality stores such as Fanlou, it is also a mid-stream among the 72 main stores. Recently, the number of high-level liquors has begun to increase. The Xu family itself does not open restaurants in the city, so the restaurants are competing to establish relationships with the Xu family.

Yang Jingzong himself had a good wine, and it would not work without the Xu family's wine. After Xu Ping became a Jinshi, except for Li Yonghe, a family member, who had a family friend, he had already cut off contact with all the relatives of the royal family, not to mention that he had some small grudges with Chai Zongqing.
