When entering the alley, Xu Xiaoqi kicked a hard object and saw it with the light of a lantern, and suddenly he screamed unlucky.

Before the winter began, another disaster in Baoding Prefecture area was reported. I heard that there was no relief. Many refugees flocked to the capital. The lucky ones were sent to Taoist temples and temples. The city had a large family to prepare porridge every day, but they were not worried about starving to death. If they had bad luck, they could only wander on the streets. The clothes that kept warm would be snatched by the city's lahu or beggars in the capital. Since the twelfth lunar month, at least 100 corpses were carried out every day. These things were commonplace. But today, this "road fell" happened and was kicked by Xu Xiaoqi, which made him feel uncomfortable and felt very uncomfortable.

After walking along the way, after pushing the door and entering the house, guests were already waiting in the room.

Xu Xiaoqi laughed when he entered the door, and while blowing out the lanterns, he greeted: "Brother Wang, I came early today."

Xu Xiaoqi's parents died early and were alone. The house had only three shaky main houses, no side houses, and the yard was small. After pushing the door, there was a light like beans in the room. There was already a tall young man sitting at the table. There were some food on the table, which should be cooked food bought in the store, cut into a dish, and there was a small pot of wine. The "Brother Wang" was using a plate of fried peanuts to drink, and it was delicious.

"Brother Wang" is Wang Faxiang. He has been in the capital for almost half a year and has reimbursed more than 1,000 taels of funds. Liang Hongdao and Guangqiu have to go to check his account with Li Yujing. Later, Yang Qiu took the matter down, but he also warned him that he would have some achievements, otherwise when the boss returns from the grassland and Liaodong, when Liang Hong and the others talk about this, it would be difficult for Yang Qiu to explain to them.

Wang Faxiang has a sweet-hearted and dark-mouthed man, big eyes and sword-browed eyebrows, and a white-skinned face. Especially when he smiles, he makes people feel handsome and kind-hearted. This guy has been with Datong in Xinpingbao and is good at shooting Huazi, especially the 15 or 16-year-old maid from a wealthy family, who almost gets started when he moves. Two years ago, he sold a maid from a gentry family in Taiyuan. The matter was found out, and he was caught and beaten to death. He sent him to the border army to serve as a military officer. He is also the only military corps in Xinpingbao. He has a sweet-hearted man and broad vision. He is indeed the best candidate to do things in the capital.

The best thing Wang Faxiang did now was to bribe several clerks from the Ministry of War and the Tongzheng Department. Whether it was a copy of the official documents or the Tang newspapers, as long as the military and political affairs were related to the northern military and political affairs, he also copied the list of all seventh ranks and above in Beijing, including the Censorate and the Censorate of each section, and some officials with important positions. The official positions may not be very high, but may only be fifth or even seventh ranks, from the seventh rank, but he held an important position, so he recorded the names and origins of the officials, and sometimes he also found out the background, scenery, preferences, and relatives of the official, and wrote them together in a booklet. In addition, he also began to inquire about the various parties in the court, the Jin Party, Chu Party, Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, Donglin Party, and it was very difficult to understand for a while.

He made these things into a package every few days, and asked his confidant to ride a horse to Xinpingbao. As for whether Zhang Han could see them now, Wang Faxiang ignored this.

In fact, Wang Faxiang did a good job, which was far beyond Zhang Han's hope for him. He originally wanted to send someone to the capital to copy the diary and copy the newspaper. If he could get some other information, he would be considered an extra income. As a result, Wang Faxiang not only did the basic work, but also formed an intelligence team with him as the core. If Zhang Han knew about it, he would be very happy.

In addition, Wang Faxiang has been thinking about other things recently, and Zhang Han reminded him before he left. Now he has started to do it. He thinks that if it is done, the intelligence expenses can be greatly increased. He is not afraid that Liang Hong and Li Yujing will get angry during the account verification.

Of course, Wang Faxiang also wanted to enjoy himself. People like them were almost dyed in the sauce jar, and they had difficult habits to change after training. He liked food and wine, and women, but he also understood the temperament of the boss. Yang Qiu's methods made him even more scared when he remembered. Floating corpses often floated in the Xiaobai River outside Xinpingbao. Wang Faxiang had seen it several times and knew what was going on. He didn't want to float there one day, so he was still very cautious in using money and did not dare to fake the accounts.

Today is the day when he and Xu Xiaoqi meet regularly. He also personally does it when meeting with the Ministry of War and the Tongzheng Department of the Ministry of War. Xu Xiaoqi is a servant who swept the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Such a person is an ant-like character in the eyes of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is very important in Wang Faxiang's heart. He hopes to get useful information from these people, and to borrow them to hit him in the gap, and meet more important people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Han once told him that intelligence work is to cast a net. When the net is spread, the bigger the net, the more fish you get.

In addition, it is safe. If you don’t show up in person, don’t show up. And you are point-to-point, grouping your subordinates, and try to do things separately from each group. In the end, only summarize them here. Usually, your subordinates don’t meet.

Most of Wang Faxiang's subordinates were developed in the capital, some were specially used to listen to news on the streets, some were near the city gates, and some were guards and responsible for operations. This group of people was sent by Yang Qiu from Xinpingbao. Wang Faxiang did not trust these people very much, so he still hoped to choose the guards himself.

Wang Faxiang had a lot of things in his mind, but he looked at Xu Xiaoqi and smiled with a relaxed and calm look on his face.

No matter what you feel, you can’t let people see anything. When you are nervous, people will be nervous when they speak. Even if you think it’s ordinary, you will consider it and then say it.

This is actually an experience in shooting Huazi. It makes people feel unprepared and makes people feel trustworthy and kind, and slowly get close to you, so that people will listen to whatever you say.

What kind of mental outlook a person has, the results he gets from doing things are different. I have to say that Wang Faxiang's trick is very useful.

Xu Xiaoqi also relaxed and sat down to eat a few bites of food. Wang Faxiang brought wine and food every time he came, saying that he was bored and asked someone to drink. The wine and food were not worth much. He would give Xu Xiaoqi some pocket money before leaving, saying that the house was too dilapidated and asked Xiaoqi to save it, so he would repair it in the future and get married.

"Xiao Qi," Wang Faxiang and Xu Xiaoqi touched the cup for a while and said, "I'm back so late. I miss you, so don't do this errand in the future."

Xu Xiaoqi said: "People say that officials are not free and they have to be restrained by the emperor. If we are a servant for them, what else can we choose? But if I don't do this, what can I do in the future?"

Wang Faxiang said: "When my boss comes back from the south, the shop here will be opened. You can be my partner."

Xu Xiaoqi said: "That's great, but I have never learned to settle accounts and read, so I'm afraid my friend won't be good at it either."

"I'll talk about these things in the future." Wang Faxiang deliberately caught Xu Xiaoqi. Of course, he would not use this person as a clerk. Whether he could take it well was one thing. He was not the leader of the shop, he just used this topic as an excuse.

Wang Faxiang's superficial identity in the capital was He Yusheng's shopkeeper. He did not hide it from others. He would expect him to do some obvious things in the future. In addition, he also needed an identity at the beginning, so planning to build a semicolon is a good reason.

As for searching for news everywhere, it is easy to explain that the merchants in the south were in the capital at that time, inquiring about the news and changes in the upper class of the capital, and using it for business. People who do business these days have to be smarter and more willing to take risks than later generations. Moreover, they are not as quick and developed as information spread in later generations. Businessmen are very concerned about information from all over the world, and a trivial news can make people rich.

Xu Xiaoqi also knew these truths, and he was not surprised that Wang Faxiang asked him to inquire about the Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, the Prime Minister's Mansion will encounter such things, including many officials sending red envelopes when they come to the door, asking about the Prime Minister's mood or preferences. These things often occur, which is not surprising.

He ate and drank, wiped his greasy mouth, and then he told Wang Faxiang about the recent incidents of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All the handling of various matters including Shandong disaster relief, Shanxi Weizhou earthquake, Jiexiu earthquake, and Shaanxi rain and snow disaster were told to Wang Faxiang one by one.

What he said was all in the court residence. Wang Faxiang used to be able to read and read. He had never been worried about major affairs in the court. He was simply blinded. He knew that the biggest figures were General Datong and His Highness Dai, but he knew that they were the ones who did not know him.

Now that he is in the capital, he deals with the diary every day. He knows that the matter of rain and snow in Shaanxi is not small and the earthquake in Shanxi is not small. Shaanxi Guangjun and horses froze to death, and several thousand people died in the earthquake, and more than 100,000 houses were destroyed. These residences were all copied. The court also said that it was to provide disaster relief, but there was no movement next time. Xu Xiaoqi said that there were many officials coming to the door, and Fang Congzhe also discussed the allocation of funds with people. However, the treasury said that there was no money. The people from the Ministry of Revenue and Fang Congzhe discussed for a few days and finally asked for an imperial edict. Of course, the emperor asked for an imperial edict to express his opinion. The emperor would definitely not pay the money, and the matter would definitely be left unresolved.

These residences cannot be seen, and the officials who entered the Prime Minister's Office to discuss matters will not explain on the residence. They can only get detailed and specific processes from these rumors.

When Xu Xiaoqi said, Wang Faxiang listened carefully. After he went back, he would write down the names and events of these people based on his memory. It would not work in front of others. It would be too serious and people would be nervous.

Finally, he heard the news that he was most concerned about, and also knew that the court would send red flags to urge Liaodong to use troops. Recently, Wang Faxiang heard many people from the upper and middle classes in the capital mention Liao affairs. Most of them were very confident in solving Liaodong affairs in the short term. He was a little worried at this time. Calculated the agenda, the host might be in Liaodong now. If the fight really starts and the Donglu is suppressed again, will the host be in danger? Even if the host escapes, the smuggling business road will probably shrink, which is really not good news for Wang Faxiang.

Wang Faxiang's roots lie in He Yusheng, in Xinpingbao, and in Zhang Han. If Liaodong is really pacified, Wang Faxiang will also be worried about his future.

Of course, I won’t tell Xu Xiaoqi about these thoughts. Wang Faxiang deliberately inquired about some other things and even went to the foreseeable story about Fang Shihong. The two of them laughed for a while before he said goodbye-

Everyone, please be happy, please buy it casually.
