Lengyi was trapped in the city for nearly half a month. Finally, he was rescued by Fu Zihan. After finding Luyi, lengyi wanted to get Luyi out of the city for the first time and ran to the garrison camp for him. He needed to integrate his troops and fight with the rebels.
But Lu Yi went out of the city, but when he came back, he told him that a group of eunuchs, named Jianjun, came to the camp, holding the imperial edict, and had controlled all the military officers above the rank of deputy general in the camp.
The garrison camp is not his cold private army. It's the imperial army. It's subject to imperial power and imperial edict. Of course, if Leng Yi shows up in person, he still has the right to transfer troops and demobilize generals in accordance with his status as commander-in-chief of the garrison and his accolades.
But as early as he was bewildered, the talisman he wore disappeared. Now, he is cold and trapped in the city, and he can't show himself in the barracks. At this time, tens of thousands of troops in the suburbs have become mirages in the desert, which can be used.
While waiting for the Liao army's rescue, lengyi can't wait to die. He needs to go out of the city and find the talisman. He was caught in the Fu mansion. The talisman may still be in the Fu mansion. But now the Fu mansion is empty. The general headquarters of the rebel army has become the chief political officer's Yamen.
If you want to break into the chief secretary's Yamen, it's not realistic to rely on him alone. Therefore, you want to steal into the chief secretary's Yamen in a circuitous way.
Qingzhou is the second grade official in charge of political affairs. Such an important department and government yamen also has a huge risk of stealing. Leng Yi has to take risks in order to find the talisman, but only if he needs some help.
Not only a helper, but also a weapon.
A small shop called xianghedian pawnshop in the city is backed by the famous underground forces in Qingzhou. The so-called underground forces, also known as the black forces, are not ordinary pawnshops. It's a black goods exchange.
The reason why Fu Zihan was arranged to go to xianghedian pawnshop was to buy a large number of weapons and horses when the exchange opened on the third day of each month.
Today's Qingzhou is controlled by the rebels. The sales of weapons and horses are strictly monitored and controlled. It's cold to need these things. It can only be traded on the black market.
On the second day, it was cloudy with the wind.
Fu Zihan dressed in disguise, pasted a fake beard, changed into a set of plain cloth clothes, pretended to be a hunchback, and shivered into the pawnshop of the auspicious peace ceremony.
The pawnbroker's shop is very small. There is only a six foot pawnbroker platform. Behind the platform sits the pilgrimage. When the pilgrimage sees the people outside the platform, his eyelids are lifted and he asks, "what should I do?"
Fu Zihan took out a gold hairpin from his sleeve and wrapped it in a light blue cloth.
Then the minister twirled the golden hairpin and said, "three Liang."
Fu Zihan pressed his voice and said, "yes."
The pilgrimage took three liang of silver, wrote a simple pawn ticket, and handed it back to him together with the light blue cloth.
Fu Zihan took only silver and pawn tickets and stuffed the cloth back.
On the signal, the pilgrimage was clear, coughed, walked out of the pawnbroking platform, circled outside, looked at the people outside the eye street, determined that there was no suspicious, and said to Fu Zihan, "this way."
The pilgrimage took Fu Zihan to the back hall, where he was picked up by another group of powerful men and returned to the shop.
Just then, a pair of father and son came in the shop.
The pilgrimage glanced at them, or the sentence: "when?"
Among the father and son, the pale and ill looking "son" pulled out a jade pendant from his sleeve and wrapped it in a light blue cloth, barely delivering it to the high pawnbroker.
Looking at the cloth, the pilgrim picked his eyebrows and thought that there were still many guests today.
He said a price at will, and the father and son agreed.
After writing the pawn ticket and taking the silver, the pilgrimage delivered all three things as before, and the result was the same as before, and the cloth was stuffed back.
The pilgrimage also took the father and son to the apse.
After entering the back hall, the father and son, who have been supporting each other, have changed their expressions.
In front of them, two big men led them. The Wei couple pulled the corners of Zhong Ziyu's clothes and asked in a low voice, "what can I do? What can I do now?"
Wei couple and Zhong Ziyu went out of the courtyard this morning and strolled around the twelve shops listed by Yueshan Sheng yesterday. Towards the afternoon, Wei couple thought that the task was finished and they could go back. But Zhong Ziyu did not know what was going wrong. They had to come to this auspicious pawnshop to have a look.
The Wei couple didn't know what he wanted. Last night, they agreed that Yueshan Sheng would come to this pawnshop when he went to the north of the city today. Zhong Ziyu wanted to take a chance here, and so on.
The Wei couple was so upset that they couldn't help taking Zhong Ziyu. They were so angry that they bit their teeth. They came with him. Who knows, they happened to meet a hunchback in the shop. They saw him at the door. The man pawned gold hairpins and stuffed cloth strips. They had a sense of ritual. Later, they were taken into the inner hall. The Wei couple thought there was something wrong with it. They didn't know it yet, Zhong Ziyu has torn a corner of his robe, wrapped a jade pendant and walked in.
The Wei couple were so scared that they hurried to catch up with them, and then they came out.
It was a temporary idea that Zhong Ziyu did not have a gold hairpin, so he wrapped the jade pendant with a cloth strip. It seems that the key clue was not the gold hairpin, but the cloth strip. After receiving the cloth strip, the pilgrimage also brought them into the inner hall.Wei couple are really flustered now, so what the hell is this? Why are so many armed patrolmen? Is it a den of thieves?
In his early years, Zhong Ziyu was a mixed up man who knew about black market exchanges, so after watching for a while, he decided that this place should also be a black market exchange.
The hunchback man was standing in the corner of the hall, stooping to talk with a wretched little gangster.
The Wei couple looked at the patrol men coming and going around and the sharp blades in their hands. They were afraid to murmur to Zhong Ziyu, "it's too urgent to go out. I haven't brought any medicine. What can I do if I start later? I'm weak. I can't fight... "
Zhong Ziyu doesn't want to listen to him, but he also knows that it's impossible for them to break into the black market by mistake and return to the original way. However, what are the rules of the black market in Qingzhou Prefecture? They don't know from other people.
Zhong Ziyu hesitated for a moment and once again turned his eyes to the hunchback, who had been imitating him into the black market. In that moment, they would do what hunchback did, and draw gourds in the same way. They should not show their feet.
In this way, Zhong Ziyu dragged the trembling Wei couple to the back of the hunchback man.
Bargaining with the filthy gangsters, discussing the buyer's Fu Zihan: "what's the price?"
Fu Zihan looks at the sudden appearance, blocks up his father and son, stupefied for a while, and his heart is tight. He thinks it's his help, exposed the stuffing, recognized?
He did not dare to act rashly, but left the father and son, and then tentatively pulled the gangsters away from the father and son.
As a result, they had just taken half a step, and the father and son followed closely.
Now the little gangster thought it was wrong. He looked at the father and the son, and then he was alert against the son's cold way: "I'll go to a thatched cottage."
Who can come to the black market to do business is not hiding his head and tail. The little gangster obviously feels the danger, so he uses urine to escape.
Fu Zihan's expression is ugly. Although there are many traffickers in the black market, most of them sell women and children. What they want to buy is young and middle-aged people. Looking around the whole black market, only the gangster just had the goods in his hand. This started to say the price. Later, the father and son suddenly scared the seller away.
Fu Zihan is still not sure whether he is exposed. Before going out today, brother Leng praised him clearly, saying that he pretended so that he could not recognize him. Fu Zihan didn't think that Leng would lie.
Touching the beard on his face, Fu Zihan turned around and stared at the father and son coldly. He decided to ask, "what are you doing?" At the same time, he also saw the way out. If the other party really came to catch him, he would overthrow the shelf next to him, and then take advantage of the chaos. At the first time, he would flee towards the east gate as soon as possible.
Fu Zihan has a comprehensive plan in mind, which is calm, but on the other side, the Wei couple are not calm. He looks at Zhong Ziyu hurriedly, and his eyes are full of "what to do? What can he do if he finds us?"
Zhong Ziyu was also clever. He thought for a moment and said ambiguously, "shopping."
Fu Zihan frowned: "I'm not a seller."
Zhong Ziyu hesitated to turn his eyes to the direction the little gangster left just now.
Fu Zihan breathed, and confirmed that the other party was also coming to buy people. He didn't recognize himself. He put down his mind, but then he was very unhappy and scolded: "that brother is afraid that he won't come back. What do you want to buy, you can be frank and stand behind me secretly?"
It turns out that he is a buyer.
Zhong Ziyu silently grasped another clue, and then said with great quality, "I'm in line."
Fu Zihan: "?"
