The spring rain fell down gently, covering the Xijin Mansion in a mist again. Although the spring rain is as expensive as oil, for the industrial and commercial people living in the Xijin Mansion City, rainy days mean that there are few pedestrians on the streets, business in the shops are light, and even the transportation of goods will become very inconvenient due to the muddy roads.

Xijinfu City is an old city left by the Tang Dynasty. Although it was built at that time, although it had a complete drainage system, the ditches on both sides of the streets that Wuhaogu saw when he entered the city were used for drainage. However, most of these canals are blocked and unusable. If it rains heavily, sewage will flow everywhere in Xijinfu!

In addition, the roads in Beishifang, Dong'anfang and Nan'anfang in Xijin Prefecture have been disrepaired for many years. Many places are bumpy and prone to water accumulation.

A carriage marked with the word "horse" passed through this sewage and rain. The coachman wore a straw raincoat and a straw hat, and controlled the running horses vigorously. There were also several horse servants and slaves from the horse family, who were also wearing straw raincoats, carrying swords and swords on their waists, and rode high-headed horses. They walked behind the carriage, and the horse's hooves stepped on the road with water accumulation, making a clattering sound.

The wheels and horseshoes ran over the bumpy road, stirring up pieces of sewage and threw them on the hawkers who went out to do business in the rain and the poor beggars.

If such a thing happened in Kaifeng Prefecture, the people on the carriage and on the horseback would have been pointed at the back and scolded. Maybe there would be an unjust official in the downtown carriage with the censor who was full of justice.

However, this is Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing. This carriage and the Hakka slave riding a horse behind are from the Ma family of Yiwulushan, one of the four Yan families!

I just ran a carriage and splashed the other person with mud and water, but I didn't kill anyone. Even if I hit a deceased, I would pay dozens of money. The deceased's family would thank him very much: The Ma family is so kind and righteous! I will pay for someone who is hit and killed...

Li Zhong, who was sitting in the carriage, pushed open the car window and looked at the scene where pedestrians and vendors avoided each other, and felt so envious!

He is also a big sable in Kaifeng Mansion! But he rarely dares to take a car when he goes out, and he rides carefully or walks simply. It’s not that he can’t afford a car, but that he is afraid that the driver will not be able to hit someone if he is not skilled at home... Even if he hits a beggar or a small business, he will be able to get you dirty and shameless when he is found out by the censor.

In Kaifeng Prefecture, you can accept bribes in the closed doors, or form private parties in the court to be treacherous officials, but you must not be arrogant. Once an official is arrogant, you will not be far from being unlucky.

And in the Xijin Prefecture of the Great Liao Dynasty, the powerful and powerful official is really powerful!

By the standards of the Song Dynasty, they were all the masters with the surname Xiao and Zhang... Although the power of the Song Dynasty officials was not locked in a cage, the officials of the Song Dynasty, especially military officers and eunuchs, were always staying in the cage.

To be honest, being an official from the Liao Dynasty, especially a military officer, is really satisfying!

Just when Li Zhong was envious of the "poor officials" of the Great Liao Dynasty, the Ma family's carriage had already stopped in front of the Han family Fengle Building in the Taipei City Square.

A manager from the Fengle Building of Han Family rushed to welcome the distinguished guests of the Ma family like a flying man. Behind him were a few slaves holding umbrellas, they were all slaves! Unlike the industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty, which mainly relied on free people and contract slaves (in fact, they were also good people), the industry and commerce of the Daliao were basically operated by slaves.

Official business uses official slaves and servants. This Han family Fengle Building is mainly used for private slaves and servants of the Han family in Yutian. There are only big shopkeepers, accountants and several managers are the villain sons of the Han family’s servants.

"Mr. Li, get off the car." Ma Zhi smiled and said to Li Zhong, "Wu Dalang should have arrived."

"Very good." Li Zhong nodded and got off the carriage with Ma Zhi.

In fact, the main purpose of Li Zhong's visit to Beishifang today was not to find Wu Haogu, but to meet with Bohai Guangmingjun.

However, Guangmingjun’s letter did not say where to see him, but only said that as long as Li Zhong arrived at Beishifang, he would know immediately...

This guy is really powerful!

On the way to Beishifang, Ma Zhi also told Li Zhong that something was wrong with Longyan Tieshan and Huailai County. About tens of thousands of Bohai pirates captured Tieshan and are still besieging Huailai County.

When Li Zhong heard this news, he was a little confused.

The Bohai people revolt in Yanyun? It is obviously impossible to succeed.

What do they want to do?

Also...what are they working on the uprising and contacting the Song envoy?

With a head full of doubt, Li Zhong, wearing casual clothes and a fake beard, followed Ma Zhi out of the car. Ma Zhi asked, "Where is Brother Zhong?" The manager who came out to welcome immediately led Ma Zhi to the second floor of the Fengle Building of Hanjia. He saw several sloppy men outside a private room with the word "Xuan" on the door sign. They were all brave men from the Zhao family's client who was thieves with him. Now that Brother Zhong is no longer a thief, they followed him down the mountain and are also friends of Brother Zhong.

Several strong men recognized Ma Zhi and saluted him one after another. Another one pushed the door in and informed him. After a while, they saw Wu Haogu and Brother Zhong come out of the private room together.

"This is Li Yuanwai, a businessman from the Southern Dynasty." Ma Zhi took the lead in introducing it without waiting for Wu Haogu to greet Li Zhong.

Ma Zhi said to Li Zhong again: "Mr. Li, this is the husband of the Zhao family, this is Ximen Dalang, please salute him quickly."

"I have met Master Zhao, Master Ximen..." Li Zhong's reaction was quite fast, and he immediately saluted Brother Zhong and Wu Haogu. Then he entered the private room with Ma Zhi. Once the door of the private room was closed, Wu Haogu and Brother Zhong bowed to Li Zhong on the Liao Kingdom. There was no reason why the Zhao family saluted a merchant! If the slaves from the Han family outside the private room were asked to see him, they would definitely be in trouble.

...

"Guangmingjun, they entered the Han Family Fengle Building."

At this moment, in the Haidong Pavilion, not far from the Han Family Fengle Building, Guangmingjun had already received a report from his subordinates.

"Are our people? All of us in their own positions?" asked Guangmingjun.

"I've been in place, I'll wait for your order."

A small boss of the Bohai pirate dressed as a Han Chinese reported to him.

Guangmingjun is not a fool. He had long thought that after the Longyan Tieshan chaos began, the Bohai people in Xijin Prefecture would be stared at by the Nanjing Police Patrol. So before the matter was initiated today, he asked all the 300 dead soldiers under his command to change their hairstyles, combed their hair into Han beggars, and hid their swords.

Now these have been scattered across the Beishifang and Nan'anfang of Xijin Prefecture. Just by waiting for the order of Guangming Lord, they will seize the largest yard in Xijin Prefecture.

"Okay!" Guangmingjun smiled and ordered, "Start! Go and beat the drums! Tell the men to do it well, and you must take down the entire Beishifang and Nan'anfang as soon as possible.

"Here!"

Although this King of Light did not leave any great names in history, it can be seen that he has certain military talents based on his arrangements.

He did not choose Nan'anfang, which had the most people in Bohai, as the home court of the riots, but chose to defeat Beishifang, which had few people in Bohai and was not very strict in defense.

At the same time, he also selected the north gate of Nan'anfang, which is the closest door to Beishifang, as a secondary goal.

If the operation in Beishi Fangzhong goes well and the north gate of Nan'anfang gets the battle again, then attack Nan'anfang again to see if the Bohai slaves can be mobilized there, and everyone will make a big fuss together.

...

"Dongdongdongdong..."

A sound of drums came from the drum tower in Beishifang and reached Yelu Guanyinnu who had just been intoxicated with the "Song-style brothel" in Beishifang called Qunfang Pavilion.

The so-called "Song-style brothel" means packaging female artists from the North into gangs from the Song Dynasty, singing songs, chanting poems, playing pianos, etc. The house also has calligraphy and paintings from the Song Dynasty hanging everywhere. They are not something from famous artists, but just as a storefront.

After such packaging, the sisters who were originally going to be more than twenty men in a day turned into something that could fool the artful man in Xijin Mansion.

However, men from the Han tycoons like the Yan family cannot be deceived. This kind of "Song-style brothel" is mainly to deceive the Khitan nobles from the north. What is the best thing for the dragon son and grandson of the three fathers' houses... If they are not good at this, they will not be able to find a job in the south to go to Xijin Mansion to become officials.

Now Yelu Guanyinnu, who is an official who is deployed in the Nanjing Palace Capital in Xijin Prefecture, likes these "Song Girls". During these days in Xijin Prefecture, he doesn't go to the official office to do business, and lingers in the "Song Building" in Beishifang all day long.

Life was a little dazed, and when someone heard it, he thought it was a "closed-door drum", so he stretched out half of his head from the carriage and said to one of his Han officials: "Why did the closed-door drum ring? Didn't he overslept in Qunfang Pavilion? Why would he go back again, and he would discuss poetry with Yaofang's wife..."

"Master," said his Han manager, "it's just noon now, how can you knock on the door drum?"

As he was talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then there were screams and scolding.

"You are so stinking beggars. Are you walking in the middle of the road? Get out of here!"

Yelu Guanyinnu heard that this was his own general Yelu Dagou who was cursing people. Yelu Dagou was surnamed Yelu, and he was also considered a royal family, but he was not from the three fathers' houses. Yelu from the Five Courtyard Department was not very good enough, but he was still very noble in Xijin Mansion. Now he was blocked by a few blind beggars near the south gate of Fangnan Gate of Beishi.

"Great man, give me some money."

"Yes, we haven't had a meal for a few days and are almost starving to death..."

Some of the beggars didn't know what happened. When they saw the angry Khitan nobleman, they were not afraid at all, and they even smiled and reached out to beg for food.

"Bastard!" Yelu Dagou rode his horse forward, waving the whip and whipping the beggar blocking the road. But seeing that the beggar who was about to be beaten dared to dodge the Khitan nobles and want to beat him, you dare to hide!
