Chapter 67: The capital city is floating

"Every three days, the Five City Military and Horses Office will proofread the buckets and scales in the street market, check the names and prices. The original intention of the Five City Military and Horses Office is like a new policy implemented in all dynasties. The original intention is good. There are water flowing in the streets and alleys in the capital, and there are thieves who respond to the responsibilities of putting out fires and patrolling the night. When the Five City Military and Horses Office implements the duties of "fighting fires and patrolling the night", they never charge any penny and govern with integrity."

When Sun Chuanting said this, he shook his head and inevitably talked about a cliché: "Any new policy, over time, the city will suffer from long-term disadvantages. The original intention of the Five City Military and Ma Si was to arrest thieves, but now it has become a thief. By giving Liu Etou and other rascals to exploit the people together, it has changed from the beginning to the unpopularity of the people now."

Li Mian likes to keep things from happening. Not long after he returned from the Caochangyuan, he found Sun Chuanting on the banks of the Jinshui River to learn about the situation about the five cities of the Bingma and Caochangyuan.

Since he has formed a bond with Liu Etou, he cannot wait until the other party comes to him, and then he will involve a series of incidents.

Li Mian likes to take the initiative and eliminate all signs before disasters occur.

Dealing with a desperate person like Liu Etou, there should be no hidden dangers left.

As long as he was given any chance to breathe, Li Mian's future situation would be like a knife hanging on his head.

No one knew where Liu E's head would suddenly pop up, fight for his life, and pull Li Mian to die together.

If Li Mian wants to completely solve Liu Etou, the first thing he needs to do is to clarify the relationship behind him.

Li Mian put a few cents on the white tofu stall and helped Sun Chuanting pay the money for the tofu flower: "It seems that this tofu flower was not in vain. I got a lot of useful news, which is very helpful to me."

Sun Chuanting put down the blue and white glaze porcelain bowl in his hand, raised his head and said, "Of course, it's not in vain to invite Sun to a bowl of tofu. From your tone, you should want to deal with Liu Etou. He is not ordinary. There are various relationships with intertwined roots behind him. Sun felt helpless when he thought of those relationships. This time, he wanted to see what method you have to solve the problems that have accumulated in the grassland courtyard for a long time."

When talking about the word "bad politics", Sun and Yuan also became interested and focused on Li Mian next to him.

The bad policies that have been in the founding of the country for more than 100 years cannot be easily eliminated by anyone. The grassland affairs seem to be small, but they are still very difficult to put in the hands of the prime ministers in the cabinet.

Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory, encountered the bad policies of the grassland courtyard, and there was only one solution, and they all joined forces with each other.

When Sun and Duke Yuan saw that Li Mian was determined to deal with Liu Etou, they smiled with relief. While treating him as a slight head, they also thought that he was devoted to the country, just like Sun Chuanting.

It was just because of his origin that Li Mian did not have the support of his elders who had served as officials for generations, so it was unclear how much money the yamen involved in the grassland that gathered a large number of private prostitutes.

Just when Sun Chuanting wanted to say a few more words, he was the elder in the officialdom who promoted Li Mian, so as not to encounter a wall in the officialdom, and from then on, he was disheartened and no longer cared about the affairs of the court.

An official wearing a blue official uniform and embroidered with bear trousers sat on the small skeleton of the tofu flower stall.

There was also an acquaintance next to him, Liu Etou, who had formed a beam in the grassland yard.

Li Mian is already quite familiar with all kinds of messy court uniforms in the officialdom. From his blue official uniforms, he can see that he is an official from the fifth to seventh rank.

The tonic in the official uniform is the Xiong Jue tonic, which shows his grade and also shows that he is a military officer.

The fifth-rank civil servant used the white squid tonic, while the fifth-rank military officer used the bear squid tonic.

Judging from his blue bear slutty official uniform, the official positions he held were the fifth-rank Qianhu, or the fifth-rank deputy Qianhu.

There are many military officers who know Sun Chuanting in the capital, but there are not many military officers he knows. It’s not that he doesn’t want to know them, but he just doesn’t like them.

Coincidentally, Sun Chuanting happened to know the military officer. He glanced at Li Mian, shut up and stopped talking, and did not say what he would be prepared to warn Li Mian.

Some people will say, don't waste your words.

This military officer was no one else, but Lu Guangzu, who was standing behind Liu E's head.

The reason why Sun Chuanting met Lu Guangzu, the deputy Qianhu family, was very simple. He seemed to be just a deputy Qianhu family, but he was a member of the Liaoxi general and belonged to Li Chengliang's old subordinate.

Liu Etou brought a few sticks to the tofu flower stall. He was about to shout and shout and drive away the common people who were eating tofu flower, but was stopped by Lu Guangzu.

As Li Chengliang's old subordinate, Lu Guangzu knew Sun Gong Yuan and his two men. Although he was surprised by how the two border governors came to the Jinshui River to eat some food from the common people, he still stopped Liu Etou quickly.

He didn't dare to come forward to disturb Sun and Yuan, so he picked up a small scepter and sat a little farther away.

They happened to get close to Sun Chuanting and Li Mian, not far away, only a few steps away.

Liu Etou recognized Li Mian. Seeing that he did not go to the Jiafangsi to be rich, he sat by the Jinshui River and ate some tofu that only the people in the market would eat. Without the politeness of seeing the officials and gentry companies at that time, he was left with confidence.

Liu Etou still secretly regretted it in his heart. He shouldn't be polite to him at the beginning, so that Qin Liangyu and her mother ran away.

However, it's okay. I already know that the official and gentleman I met in the grassland courtyard was not a child of a high-ranking official, and there would be opportunities to deal with him in the future.

The most important thing Liu Etou currently has involved a powerful man in the capital, and said anxiously: "The personal female official next to Princess Changping has released the news and is preparing to rectify the grassland courtyard. She wants to expel all the sword-bing Qingshou from the grassland courtyard. She gave the little man three days. If she does not leave the grassland courtyard, she will be imprisoned in Shuntian Prefecture prison."

Today is the day of proofreading Hudou. Lu Guangzu came here today to make the chessboard street aside, and another thing was to solve what Liu Etou said about Princess Changping rectified the grassland courtyard and give Liu Etou and others a reassurance.

Lu Guangzu looked back at Sun Chuanting next to him, knowing his true identity, but there was no taboo.

He shook his head, picked up a bowl of tofu, took a few bites, and said slowly: "The markets in the capital that can bring a large amount of floating cashiers have long been fixed. Qipan Street Department Stores are gathered, and it is the largest market in the capital. Chongwenmen is the end of the Caoyuan River, gathering thousands of coolies and various merchants. There are also Chenghuang Temple City and Dong'anmen City. These two places are for buying and selling antiques, and the other is for buying and selling spices, Dongzhu, Ningshu and other high-end goods."
