Chapter 26

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month since Zhu Jinxuan returned to the palace.

Although it didn't look long, for Zhu Jinxuan, who had been walking outside for free, she could still bear it if she returned to this cage-like palace for three or five days. After all, she had not met her royal brother, sister-in-law and nephew for a long time before. She expressed her true feelings for three or five days to relieve the pain of longing.

Just like those students who go to school outside, they experience it after returning home during the winter and summer vacations.

The difference is that for Zhu Jinxuan, her desire for outside the palace is much stronger than that of those students.

After all, in addition to being restricted from freedom, she also missed Bai Shier very much.

Especially after the emperor went out once before, after meeting Bai Shier, the longing in her heart became more and more fierce and fierce as if she poured another bucket of oil on the burning wildfire.

Unfortunately, there was a lesson from her last escape from the palace. This time, the emperor, and many palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the entire palace all looked as if they were facing a great enemy, for fear that their previous experience would happen again.

The last time the emperor was kind-hearted and did not deal with them, but they did not dare to take their lives to bet on the emperor this time, and this time they would still be kind and let them go.

But they obviously "understood" Zhu Jinxuan, because Zhu Jinxuan did not think about sneaking out of the palace and running away again this time. What she wanted was to be open and honest, and the emperor agreed to her leave.

And her confidence was undoubtedly what Bai Shier used to block the emperor's mouth when she left the palace.

Facing Zhu Jinxuan who was clamoring to leave the palace, the emperor naturally felt a headache. While using the matter had not been resolved, it was too dangerous to leave the palace now, and it would also hinder Bai Shier from doing things as a reason, blocking Zhu Jinxuan back again and again, while constantly scolding Bai Shier in his heart for all this.

At the same time, he also felt a little guilty. If it weren't for the fact that he was not prepared that night, and was led by Bai Shier and finally fell into the verbal trap set by the other party, how could Zhu Jinxuan be so "bold" to use the reasons mentioned by Bai Shier that night to threaten him and try to leave the palace?

...

"Ah Yeh, Ah Yeh, Ah Yeh!"

Bai Shier, who had sneezed three times in a row, couldn't help but feel a little confused after stopping.

‘Is it cooled down?!’

Bai Shier, who had never thought that it would be the emperor's "brother-in-law" who cursed himself in his heart, looked up at the sun that was still emitting endless heat in the sky, shook his head and threw this matter behind his head, and continued to monitor Yuelai Inn not far away.

It has been three days since Kang Jinlong pretended to be a porter and entered this inn, and Bai Shier has been monitoring it for three days.

However, it is obvious that when Kang Jinlong has not yet fully gained the trust of the people from the North Pole Tianmen in this stronghold, Bai Shier has not gained any gains except for disguising himself as a different profession and character every day.

But just as Kang Jinlong believed that these people from the North Pole Heavenly Gate would not be able to support him for nothing, so they should eat and sleep without any pressure in their hearts, Bai Shier also believed that the people from the North Pole Heavenly Gate who had spent a lot of effort to invite Kang Jinlong into the stronghold could keep calm.

Especially in the Jinyiwei in the city, all the Dongchang men disappeared, and the number of detectives at the Six Gate has been declining rapidly in the past two days.

After being silent for so long, he didn't believe that the Arctic Heaven could really remain silent like this.

...

Without the Jinyiwei and Dongchang men who had been patrolling around the city before, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang were searching, the "environment" of the capital, which had become loose again, has regained its "energy".

No, it should be said that it is more "energetic" than before.

Just like a spring that is compressed too hard, after the huge external force suddenly dissipates, it immediately releases all the accumulated pressure.

The first person to be aware of this situation was not Bai Shier and the elites who were selected by Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen, who changed their appearance and quietly lurked in the city, nor were they under the tremendous pressure brought by Xuanwu's order. Di Ting, who had been secretly investigating the truth behind this matter, but the yamen runners and Bai Jun from Shuntian Prefecture.

There is a rat path, and there is a snake path.

If the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen and three major yamen were launched together to directly sank the entire capital, causing the "monsters and demons" in all walks of life in the city to suffer great damage and dare not act rashly, then in many cases, the yamen runners who rely entirely on these "monsters and demons" to support their families and even make a fortune, the white servants were also seriously hit.

The yamen runners who have formal staffing and can get official salary are at least "guaranteed" so they don't worry too much, but those "temporary workers" who do not have the staffing have to rely entirely on food and get a card to support their families obviously do not have that confidence.

Even though the actions of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushumen had only started for a few days, they were already affected. What worries them even more was that the three major yamen showed full of "stamina", especially when half a month passed and the three major yamen still showed no sign of stopping, some of them had already begun to think about how they should survive if this situation lasted for a month or even several months.

It is also because of this that when the news of the sects impeaching the three major yamen in the court came, the highly affected yamen runners, in addition to secretly applauding in their hearts, also used their own advantages to quickly spread the "good news" throughout the capital, mobilizing those who were also affected to constantly promote and encourage these sects. Otherwise, how could this matter really spread throughout the capital so quickly?

After this series of efforts, the capital was finally restored to its past "calmness", and the yamen and white servants finally ushered in a "harvest".

The money paid by the thieves who went back to the streets, the protection fees paid by the secret prostitutes who opened the door to do business, had escaped from the city before, but now he heard the news, and he went back to the city to catch the money paid by the scammers who were leaving the door to the city...

All kinds of monsters and monsters who had been scared by the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang and the Six Gates had disappeared without a trace, springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and also brought considerable income to the yamen and white servants.

From the amount of money collected by the yamen and white servants, we can see that the capital has returned to its former "prosperity" and is even more "prosperous" than before.

After all, they had been working for more than half a month because of the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen before. Now they have recovered, so they naturally need to speed up time to get it back.

...

"The lower-class guys who had disappeared in the city before have all returned. Should we move, too?"

Although it is not as sharp as the yamen runners and the white soldiers, after three consecutive days, even if they were cautious before and did not dare to have many connections with the outside, they could already detect the return of these monsters and demons.

After all, even if they don’t go out to inquire about the news, these people will take the initiative to "send" to their doorsteps in order to make up for the lost ten days.

Perhaps at the beginning, they would still want to lure the snake out of the hole because they were worried that this was the conspiracy of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Six Gates to let them appear. However, seeing that the city was already full of all kinds of low-level figures and attacking everywhere, a pool of clear water that was originally clarified by the three major yamen was already extremely turbid by these low-level figures, many people would finally be unable to help but feel restless in their hearts.

Especially when I see many inferior third-rate guys actually reaching their hands into their territory, or even in their pockets, it is really "unbearable"!

...

Three days after Kang Jinlong entered Yuelai Inn, Yuelai Inn, which had been silent for a long time, finally took action.

The Arctic spy who had brought Kang Jinlong into Yuelai Inn before, who looked like a friend, set off again and left Yuelai Inn.

But when Bai Shier saw this scene, he was in a state of confusion. He didn't know whether he should follow the other party or stay here to continue to monitor Yuelai Inn.

Every time this time, he missed Hu Xiaolin, Peng Zhenlei and the others a little.

However, as Bai Shier, who was about to disappear into the abortion of people, knew in his heart that now was not the time to think about this, he had to make a decision immediately, otherwise, if the other party really disappeared into the abortion of people the next moment, he would no longer have to make any decisions.

Because at that time, he would have no other choice except to stay here to monitor Yuelai Inn.

Finally, after a moment of weighing the trade-offs, he still stood up and followed the spy.

Yuelai Inn was there, and he would not run away with his legs. He didn't believe that the other party would dare to make any big moves at this time. Moreover, if he took a step back, Kang Jinlong was still lurking in it. Even if something happened during the period when he left, Kang Jinlong should be able to help him watch Yuelai Inn. However, if the spy who left did not follow, it would be obvious that no one would tell him wherever he went or who he saw.

Under the autumn sun, the weather is still unbearable, but the number of pedestrians on the streets has not decreased much.

The Jinyiwei, who had a reputation as a child, was patrolling around the city and searching for inspection. The ordinary people in the city were obviously also affected. They did not dare to go out easily, for fear of getting involved with those killing gods who were afraid of seeing others. Now that they have returned to their past peace, they also need to come out to "get some breath".

The existence of these pedestrians is undoubtedly the best cover for Bai Shi Er.

In the case of a large number of people, unless you know that someone is following you, you are more careful and will always pay attention to the appearance of the people behind you. Otherwise, the more pedestrians, the more people you are following will feel safe and relax your vigilance.

Bai Shier followed the crowd at Yuelai Inn and walked around the city.

And this guy from Yuelai Inn doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

As Bai Shier looked at him, he first went to the rice and noodles shop near the street, and chatted with the shopkeeper of the rice and noodles shop with a slightly pleasant smile for a long time. Finally, the shopkeeper of the rice and noodles shop finally nodded helplessly, as if he had agreed to his conditions, then he took out a piece of silver from his arms, took out a piece of broken silver, and handed it to the other party, and said something to the other party with a restrained smile.

Next, he went to several shops. From his expression, some of the talks were completed and some of the talks broke down. But no matter how he looked at it, he was going out to buy for Yuelai Inn.

However, Bai Shier didn't think so in his heart.

The reason is also very simple, because among the several stores he went to, three were selected by Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen for Bai Shier to sneak into.

And coincidentally, these three shops have all negotiated business.

Although it seems very normal to negotiate a deal in three of the seven or eight stores, the negotiations are all strongholds in the Arctic Heaven, and the negotiations are not, which is not the same. This is a coincidence.

Besides, Yuelai Inn is not a new inn that has just opened. Stores such as rice and flour that have a long-term and large demand must have been negotiated long ago. How could it be that the talks started now?

If the previous contract has ended and I want to find a new supply shop now, then the time to choose is too coincidental, right?

Especially in this situation, how could Bai Shier believe that this is just a coincidence?

‘Ha, after being silent for so long, are you finally unable to sit still?’

When the sun sets and the followers of Yuelai Inn return to Yuelai Inn again, Bai Shier looked at the Yuelai Inn in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

‘But, it’s better to try it out again.’

Looking up, Bai Shier looked at the backyard of Yuelai Inn, and his face was even more smiling.

...

"Waiter!"

Accompanied by a rude shout, one looked about thirty years old, seven feet tall, bulging all over, his temples bulging, his cheeks twitched, his naked skin radiated with sunshine, and his muscles looked strong and explosive, and his thick voice made people unable to help but secretly shout "Good man!"

"Come on, please come in."

Seeing that a guest came, even though the sun was already west, the second brother, who had been tired for a day, still greeted him with a smile on his face and shouted loudly with a slightly flattering voice.

"Well, waiter, do you still have a guest room?"

The strong man nodded with satisfaction, who seemed to be very satisfied with the waiter's attitude, stepped into the store with the waiter, and asked casually.

"have..."

The waiter who nodded and bowed in front of him also asked to answer casually.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my guest, the last room has been booked just now, so I can only ask the guest to find another inn to stay. However, the wine and food in our inn..."

But as soon as the waiter spoke, the shopkeeper behind the counter immediately interrupted him and replied with an apology.

"Bah! Wouldn't you say it earlier without a guest room? I'm so happy."

The man who was originally very satisfied with his face suddenly turned ugly when he heard the shopkeeper's answer. After glaring at the waiter, he spitted on the ground, turned around with dissatisfaction and left.
