On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhang Xing and Qin Bao had a full meal of fried crispy meat.

On New Year's Eve, let alone a very hard job, there is no such job. In the public office of Quandongdu, apart from those responsible for planning and supervising the construction of Mingtang, isn't there any famous saying?

Let's talk about it after the New Year.

In fact, the entire eastern capital was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. People burned bamboo, worshiped ancestors, and gave each other a copper plate with small red paper strips tied to each other.

The dignitaries and nobles in the north held a banquet like flowing water, but they didn't come to eat it. However, no matter what they did, they would change the process, so that the servants would eat a whole set of chicken, duck, fish and meat, so that the servants would eat a lot of oil; although the poor were poor, they also had to pay money to buy a pot of oil and fry some dough for the children to chew; even the new period of the servants received a reward from the Ministry of Works, and in addition to the routine winter clothes, they added a fried sweet cake... Of course, they must be thanked for the kindness of God to get it.

Strangely, people who leave their hometowns should have missed their relatives more during festivals, but they were different from Qin Bao, who suddenly wiped their tears and called her mother in a low voice, and they were also different from Yue Niang who was careless and sitting in the stable in private and sent two horses and one mule all night, Zhang Sanlang was unexpectedly happy during the New Year.

Or he is heartless, he should eat and drink, read novels, and he seems to care nothing, and he never mentions family affairs.

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

On the second day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, those who are truly officials will suffer from the Zhengdan Dynasty, especially since the Mingtang is still in the process of cultivating, so they can only go to the Chengming Hall next to them to squeeze in... For some reason, Zhang Sanlang, who is qualified to enjoy the annual leave, became even more jubilant.

First, they forced Qin Bao and Yue Niang to celebrate New Year's greetings to themselves, and then they each had a red paper bag, but when they opened it, they only had two copper coins tied with red ropes... Of course, no one would pay their respects if Qin Bao and Yue Niang didn't come to pay their respects. That was fine, at most he was stingy with the red envelope.

Then, Bai Shou from Jing'antai threw down a basket of small crispy meat and dough that he had tired of eating, and went out for a walk. When he met a child, he sent two pieces of them. He also asked if he would write the word "sauce" in "sauce"... If he knew, he naturally knew that this was Bai Shou from Jing'antai, a young and promising official. If he didn't know, he thought it was a street stalker.

However, these eyes could not stop Zhang Xing from singing "There are so many" around the yard. After his meat was gone and there were only dough left, he naturally followed Qin Bao and Yue Niang to the commune in the yard...

This commune is not that commune, but a simple ancestral hall enshrined in the yard with Sanhui and Siyu, also known as the public temple, the public hall, in short, that means.

In fact, in addition to the commune temples, there are generally decent individual temples in each yard. For example, the Qingdi Temple in Wenrou Square is particularly large, and the kidney-tonifying medicines inside are very good. There is also a Baidi Temple in Chengfu Square. It usually has the business of building iron tools, digging wells, treating injuries, and building foundations. It is quite famous... But the problem is that it is the New Year and the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I only worship the White Emperor. Don’t the other supremes worship?

Therefore, today, almost everyone in the city will inevitably go to the public temple in their own market when they go out to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Xing came over with half a basket of dough, of course he was not a worshiper of Sanhui and Siyu, but just to watch the fun. You can tell, he really found a new fun.

It turns out that the Sany Taoist priest here is telling fortunes for people... There are two types of fortune telling, one is to draw lots and unblock, which costs ten cents; the other is to use light cinnabar to write the birth date and eight characters. This requires fifty copper coins, which is expensive to die.

So who is Zhang Sanlang? He will have a wave of things when he has nothing to do, let alone seeing this feudal superstitious behavior of cheating money? So he went straight over and drove away the Taoist priests, then put down the basket himself, sat down the table and wrote to the fortune teller with the cinnabar.

That's right, Zhang Sanlang didn't need others to write for him, but took the initiative to write for others, cut the paper into square dots, but only wrote the word "Da Dafu"... There is no tradition of pasting Spring Festival couplets in this world, and Zhang Xing did not mean to popularize it, but this did not delay him writing it out and informed someone with a certain level of culture to stand upside down and paste the batter on the door. The other party suddenly woke up, and then threw down the money and ran back with the word "Shi" as if flying.

In this way, Zhang Sanlang wrote forty or fifty characters in a row, nothing more than "Fu Lu, Longevity and Wealth". He lost interest, but he didn't care that there was a long queue in front of him. He only wrote a big word "Fu" to his home and directly killed or buried and escaped.

But it doesn't matter. The Taoist priest who was driven away before woke up early, but immediately changed his business and continued on the spot. This is much easier than fortune-telling, and the business scope is not comparable to fortune-telling.

Turning back, Zhang Xing returned home with an empty basket. Before Qin Bao and Yue Niang came back to worship, he wrote the word "Fu" and went to the yard to bury muscles and bones... Although it was boring, there were some statements... It should be noted that this time, Zhang Sanlang also had a new understanding of Qin Bao's performance. Perhaps the great practice realms of the correct meridian, strange meridian, condensed elixir, and master will create a qualitative gap in the martial arts of the practitioners, but it is obvious that the immediate kung fu, the muscles and bones are sturdy, and the proficiency of weapons, like courage and will, are undoubtedly some statements on the line of life and death.

One of the simplest and straightforward manifestations is that although Zhang Xing is ahead of the recognized martial arts talent Qin Bao by cheating, he really wants two people to fight to the death, Zhang Xing does not feel that he has more than 20% of the probability of winning.

The big iron spear swing and then rushing, was definitely invincible below the regular vein that Zhang Xing saw.

While practicing, someone suddenly knocked on the door and opened it. The puzzled person was instantly dissolving. The person came was Mr. Zhou Xingfan, who was carrying a big bag and a small bag to visit.

Mr. Zhou is a trusted general who is a saint who is just used by him. He has a good title and a class. Naturally, he has his own mansion in the Eastern Capital City. However, his family is in the south, and only dozens of servants stay here to take care of the house and maintain the real fire, so he also has time to come here.

Only after coming here, I could only stand stupidly, and waited until Qin Bao and Yue Niang came back, and there were only people in the yard, but it was already noon, so I quickly cooked.

This is probably the case with holidays.

In the evening, Zhou Xingfan, who had had two meals, said goodbye first. Then, Qin Bao focused on the newly bought weapons from Baidiguan. Yue Niang began to recalculate the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, and Zhang Xing began to read his novels as always.

However, as the sky became darker and the three of them returned to their rooms. When they were about to go to bed, Zhang Xing heard a very obvious sound from the roof tiles above his head, so he had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, and went out to climb up.

Sure enough, Bai Yousi sat on the roof early and had been waiting for him for a long time. At the same time, he also had two pots of wine and a plate of cold-cut braised beef.

"Happy New Year." Bai Yousi, who was wearing men's clothing, said with a smile.

"Happy New Year." Zhang Xing rarely had no arguments, but just bowed his hand and sat down.

Just think about it, if I really say that I am a year older during the Chinese New Year, I am afraid I will be thrown away directly.

"Have you ever been getting better these days?" Bai Yousi waited for the other party to sit down and then raised the pot directly.

"Shang good, Shang good." Zhang Xing laughed dryly. "It's the New Year, I'm always talking about it. I've done a lot of messy things..."

"Are you still worried about the matter in Huaibei?"

"yes."

"Why is this?"

"The focus is different from the values... The common people always regard the life and death of the common people as the foundation, and regard the meat eaters as the basis, just as the meat eaters always regard the rise and fall of the meat eaters as the foundation, and regard the common people as the grass mustard."

"I see."

"Do you understand?"

"Aren't you watching or learning?"

"Thus, I seem to be biased."

"If you are not biased, how can you catch my eyes?"

"Don't it reflects each other? You have to learn and change it."

“That’s right.”

"Drink."

"Drink."

The two of them touched the wine pot and each of them just drank a breath of wine.

"Chen Ling's affairs are not worth mentioning at all among the grandpas of Nanya, but he also made a decision to transfer him to the poisonous desert of the northwest Shoushou tribe." After a while, Bai Yousi suddenly lowered his wine pot with one hand and smiled with his cheek. "We will deal with the matter of the Changjing Gang after the New Year, and we can go and announce the order..."

"I don't know if he dares to hate Jing'antai or Bai." Zhang Xing shook his head and responded. "But, isn't the inspector going to Fulongwei?"

"There is this statement." Bai Yousi was honest and honest. "There has always been a rough opposition between the Chief of the Central Committee and Zhang Gong... Then my father went there and naturally formed an alliance with Zhang Gong... Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Zhongcheng was an old minister left by the late emperor, and it was not the same as other old ministers. It was naturally unshakable. It was a great success in the Nanya, and the old ministers were willing to obey him. Zhang Gong's merits were achieved after the saint ascended the throne today, so this is a typical new and old opposition. As for the honor of the father, although he was a nobleman of the Bai family, he was a new nobleman under the command of the saint, and he was considered a new nobleman promoted by the saint, so he roughly belonged to the new man."

"That's what it means." Bai Yousi nodded repeatedly. "However, these are not obvious. There are few intent disputes in the Nanya. Before, Zhongcheng and Zhang Gong had a grudge, and they only had some disputes about the expedition of Dongyi... My father also had some arguments with Zhongcheng because the saint insisted on building Mingtang and Tongtian Tower recently."

Zhang Xing nodded naturally.

To put it bluntly, the imperial rulers in Nanya are all talented, and at least on the surface, they are still dealing with things.

But it is obvious that this level of confrontation is probably just a word. Once a convening of evidence from the corresponding department will trigger a fierce sideline and confrontation below.

The most obvious thing is that since the beginning of winter last year, the series of actions of the Second Inspection Team and the continuous encounters of Zhang Xing and others are essentially inseparable from the small verbal debate of Nan Yanei.

"My father meant that there was no need to make me tired of dealing with such trivial matters. So, as early as after we went to Jiangdong and encountered a murder case, he complained to Zhongcheng in public during lunch break in the South Yai. Zhongcheng was held by him and could only make a promise in public and wait for me to come back to transfer to Fulongwei." Bai Yousi said slowly. "I actually agreed, but he told my father and Zhongcheng that everything has its beginnings, there must be a final end. After the New Year, we will handle the matter of the Changjing Gang together and then make their own transfers with Sima Zheng."

"Thank you." Zhang Xing was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not just for you... of course, it's also for you, but you made a statement that day, for what I asked on the riverside that day. How could I ignore it?" Bai Yousi sighed. "Besides, your strategy and decisions can't stop the sword of the second son of the Zuo family. If I don't go, who will kill this long whale for you?"

"It's true." Maybe it's because he got used to it, Zhang Xing was not too embarrassed. "But we can't always count on the inspection to rely on me. When I protect myself, I still have to work hard to improve my cultivation."

"Talk about this." Bai Yousi suddenly asked. "Do you want to go to Fulongwei with me?"

Zhang Xing was silent for a long time before he asked carefully: "I heard that Fulongwei is just idle in the West Garden, and occasionally comes out to serve as ceremonial guards and guards?"

"Fulongwei is not as leisurely as you thought." Bai Yousi laughed. "How could there be less trouble in the royal family? Zhang Xing..."

"Why."

"The reason I promised this is because I also felt that Luo Fang had been too stingy and meaningless before; the other is because of some of your usual words, I want to contact the real court and see what the real rulers are doing... Not to mention, when I arrive at Fulongwei, I can go to the Langya Pavilion in Xiyuan to check the information and documents to know the real inside story." Bai Yousi's eyes were bright and he looked at Zhang Xing again. "Do you want to come?"

"I think." Zhang Xing simply responded. "But if that's the case, did Fu Longwei enter as soon as he wants?"

"Of course not." Bai Yousi replied relievedly. "Often people come in, there is a hard condition for cultivation, that is, the Great Perfection of the Righteous Mechanism... So, according to the truth, in our patrol team, I can only take Brother Hu and Qian Tang over."

"What about it?" Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard the meaning of his words.

"Actually, Brother Hu had a grudge against me last time, so it was difficult for him to come and continue to help me." Bai Yousi answered lightly. "But because of the traditions of Fu Longwei, you can discuss merits and self-discussions..."

"I know." Zhang Xing couldn't help but breathe a long sigh and interrupted the other party on the spot. "I was also the article of the "Da Wei Law" that Jiangdong only knew afterwards. It was also the last work of the late emperor... A penny can kill people, but there are eight exceptions when discussing crimes. The so-called "Da Wei Law", which is about relatives, discussions, discussions on talents, discussions on talents, discussions on merit, discussions on merit, discussions on honor, discussions on duty, discussions on duty, discussions on guests... Those who are officials above the ninth rank and above have something to do with the emperor. The emperor thinks that talented, noble, and envoys from the four barbarians can publicly reduce their crimes and exempt them from crimes... This is to only treat the people below not as human beings... Forget it, I am cynical again. Which dynasty and which generation are not like this, but it is not as clearly written as "Da Wei Law", and the inspector continued to say it."

Bai Yousi shook his head: "Anyway, outside of Qian Tang, Li Qingchen and Zhou Xingfan can discuss the good news, so you and Qin Bao can also discuss the good news... Especially for you, this trip is really shocking, you can go to Huai Shang first, come back and add the black ribbon, and then discuss the good news and transfer to Fulongwei. As for Qin Bao, it is actually a little difficult, so you can only try it with Bai Shu first."

"It's great." Zhang Xing nodded. "This is the arrangement of the inspection."

Hearing Zhang Xing's agreement, Bai Yousi wanted to say something else, but for some reason, he paused for a while and nodded slightly: "Zhang Sanlang, do you know? I thought you would leave me after this incident."

"Although the world is big, it is really hard to find a boss who is better than the inspection." Zhang Xing smiled bitterly. "The road of life is difficult, and we must temporarily borrow the inspection wings to cover it."

"Okay." Bai Yousi stood up and brought wine to him. "Let's support each other, let's go together, let's talk about it in the future."

As he said that, Bai Yousi raised the wine pot and raised his head to drink.

Zhang Xing also sat on the ridge and drank a pot of wine.
