Since Master Fang showed up, the arson case was of course left unresolved. Before leaving, Chen Jiulin secretly invited Fang Zheng to the back hall and kept bowing to him. Lord Chen said with a bitter face: "Master Fang, no, can I call Uncle Fang? Please, don't cause trouble for our capital in the future! The officials only hope that there will be no mistakes in office. In another two years, the officials may be released as officials. At that time, you will do whatever you want in this capital. Please, how can you calm down for a while in the past two years?"

Chen Jiulin is the fourth-rank prefect, but Fang Zheng is just a fifth-rank official. Chen Jiulin also has his own difficulties when he pleads with Fang Zheng so humble and ignores the rules of the officialdom.

As we all know, it is difficult to be a prefect in the capital. The typical rat in the bellows are angry at both ends. Although he is nominally a parent in the capital, in charge of the public security and criminal cases in the city, the first-rank and second-rank officials in the capital, as well as aristocratic families, princes and dukes, generals leading troops, etc., are all over the ground. Who can a small fourth-rank imperial prefect? ​​Who dares to care? Not to mention princes and ministers, he even dares to care about the fifth-rank official who looks like a gangster in front of him, because he knows that this person is favored by the holy people, and there are few people, let alone that he is about to become the son-in-law of Princess Changping and the son-in-law of the current emperor. Can he afford such a person?

But this fifth-rank idle official is really too good to cause trouble. In the past six months, which one of the major events in the capital was not provoked by him? Chen Jiulin had been scolded by the emperor because of Fang Zheng, so Lord Chen had no choice but to beg him. He was afraid that something would happen again, and the black hat on his head would not be saved, so he invited Fang Zheng to the back hall and begged him in a low voice.

Fang Zheng was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey, what do you mean? Why did I feel like a pest when I hear it, I don't do anything every day, and I'm just going to harm others?"

Chen Jiulin hurriedly said, "It's not true, Lord Fang is so serious..."

Fang Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "Look at the world, are there any pests that look so handsome as me?"

"The officials only want peace..."

"If you want peace, you should go to the temple to worship Bodhisattvas. What's the use of asking me?"

“…………”

Fang Zheng's words were filled with a gun and a stick, which made Chen Jiulin unable to speak for a long time. Seeing that his face was red and white, Fang Zheng's shame and anger were tied up by his subordinates and carried into the court a little less.

He patted Chen Jiulin on the shoulder and Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I was joking with you just now, don't take it to your heart. Don't worry, I will try to make less trouble in the future and give you some face."

Chen Jiulin was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked him. After Fang Zheng and his subordinates disappeared outside the court, Chen Jiulin snorted hatefully and cursed: "Doggy and wandering children!" After scolding, he returned to the inner courtyard and went to find his concubine Hu Tian and Hu Di.

The new house was burned, so it was naturally impossible to go. On the way back to the old house in the west of the city, Fang Zheng coughed awkwardly and asked, "Uh...that house, cough cough, how mature is it to be burned?"

Wensen hasn't figured out why their immediate boss burned their house. Could it be that this move has the profound meaning? It seems that the style of the big shots is indeed unfathomable.

Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Wen Sen answered honestly: “After sir, most of the burning has been burned, and there are ruins and scorched earth everywhere…”

Fang Zheng's expression became even more awkward, and he kept cursing Xiao Huaiyuan in his heart. Why wasn't this kid caught? It's really strange. It's easier for the people to catch him than the turtle...

"Change a house and you will go to work tomorrow and find a reliable place and a reliable person." Fang Zheng said as usual.

"Sir, why is this?"

"We have not moved in yet, and many people in the court know about it, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Aren't you specializing in inquiring about information and being good at hiding? You don't know if you are targeted by someone. Are you ashamed?" Fang Zheng glared at Wen Sen fiercely.

Wen Sen and his subordinates suddenly realized when they heard this: "...It turns out that the intention of purging the house is here. Now it seems that this house is indeed incredible."

Everyone thought that they were targeted but were not aware of it. In the end, Lord Fang had to light the house himself to wake them up. After everyone looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. At the same time, Lord Fang's magic tricks made him more admirable.

Of course, Fang Zheng did not expect that his temporary nonsense would win the true respect of his subordinates. This was a real surprise.

At this time, Fang Zheng was also ashamed. He always believed that although he was not a good person, he was not a bad person. However, after fooling these subordinates who completely trusted him, he felt a deep sense of guilt. - This is all because of the bastard named Xiao Huaiyuan! Fang Zheng pushed the blame to him without hesitation.

"Old Wen, brothers, can you still have any help?" Fang Zheng pulled Wensen and asked whispered.

Wensen nodded and said, "Everyone has no errands recently. The emperor has given instructions. You will assign errands from now on."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. Listen, please help me watch someone. The man is Xiao Huaiyuan. According to him, he is working in the Prince's Mansion. You can help me touch his details. - This matter is unknown. Except for the brothers who are performing the mission, you are not allowed to tell anyone. Have you heard it?"

Fang Zheng always felt that Xiao Huaiyuan was a very strange person, and his identity should be more than just doing business in the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, when the Shadow Brothers checked in on the first day, he happened to appear there. No matter from any angle, it was unusual. It happened that there was an intelligence organization specializing in inquiring about information. It was useless to check him.

When Wensen received a task assigned by his boss for the first time, he felt very honored and made sure to complete the task by all means. He planned to take action himself to repay Lord Fang's kindness for his understanding.

Fang Zheng was very helpful by the continuous flattery sent by Wen Sen. He squinted his eyes and was intoxicated for a while before he waved his hand with an unfulfilled feeling, telling Wen Sen to think more about the gorgeous words and keep them for the next time.

Then Fang Zheng began to discuss the construction of the base and recruitment of personnel with Wen Sen while walking. According to the emperor's will, the shadow must develop as soon as possible. It seems that the emperor has begun to sharpen his knife and is ready to take action against Pan Shangshu.

The sun was so vicious in the afternoon that Fang Zheng was dry and he was sweating. He unconsciously licked his dry lips.

Wensen's ability to observe words and expressions has increased a lot recently. Seeing that the boss was thirsty, he quickly took off the water bag hanging on his waist and handed it over, and smiled with a flattering smile: "Sir, it's hot, drink a little water."

Fang Zheng nodded at him with praise: "You are a good comrade. You have worked at the grassroots level for two years. If you have the chance, I will promote you..." After taking the water bag, he wanted to pour it into his mouth.

Wensen smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I just did what I should do. It is said that drinking well water can really quench your thirst when it is hot. It's cold, haha..."

Jingshui? Fang Zheng was stunned and quickly put down the water bag and said seriously: "Where is the well water?"

Wensen smiled and said, "It's the well outside our kitchen where the fire broke out. After everyone saved the fire, each of them was filled with water capsules..."

The well outside the kitchen... cough cough... so dangerous! I almost drank it just now...

Fang Zheng looked at Wen Sen with a strange expression, immediately handed the water bag back to him, and said seriously: "...I suddenly felt that I was not thirsty at all, it was so strange..."

Wen Sen was stunned and said, "Sir, don't you drink it?"

"No more drinking."

Wensen smiled, "I am a little thirsty, haha."

Before Fang Zheng could stop him, Wen Sen pulled out the plug and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

Fang Zheng's eyes were straightened, his lips were stammering, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"How does it taste?" Fang Zheng couldn't help asking.

Wensen smacked his lips and frowned, "Huh? It's a little weird..."

"It's normal, it's hot and the water is deteriorating."

"So that's it. The adults are indeed well-versed in history and knowledgeable..."

“…………”

After temporarily placing the shadows in the old house in the west of the city, Fang Zheng was rushed into the forbidden palace by the eunuchs in the palace.

Of course, the Emperor could not hide the matter of Mr. Fang's burning of the house. As expected, the Emperor scolded him again.

Fang Zheng hung his head and didn't dare to give a single fart. He honestly scolded him because he was indeed doing this inappropriately.

The emperor scolded him for about half an hour, and then he was still angry and said: "Hmph! My prosperity is all over the world and my people are so many. Why did you have such a person? He actually burned his own house with his own hands. No wonder others used to call you a prodigal son..."

Seeing that the emperor's face finally calmed down, Fang Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time it was a mistake, I will not make it again. - Next time I want to burn it, we will burn Pan Shangshu's house..."

The emperor said angrily: "There is another next time? If you commit another crime next time, you will wait to go to the court! Get out! Get out! I will be upset when I see you!"

Fang Zheng hurriedly took his leave, and had already walked to the door, and the emperor stopped him again.

"return!"

He glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, and the emperor said, "I am so confused by you. I ask you, how has the shadow developed?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's growing well, it's growing well!" Fang Zheng didn't dare to be angry with the emperor anymore, so he would say whatever he sounded good.

"What is the 'growing growth'? Do you think I'm growing vegetables?" The emperor had a sign of getting angry again.

Fang Zheng quickly lowered his head and said, "Well, Weichen is actively preparing. He has bought a piece of land outside the city these days. He plans to build a house and ask the soldiers to circle it. In the future, the newly recruited personnel will be trained there..."

The emperor frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to select refined men from each army? Why haven't you selected yet?"

Fang Zheng said bitterly: "Weichen plans to choose in a few days, but the emperor, Weichen has a word. Weichen thinks that shadows do not have to choose people in the army. After being a soldier for a long time, he has a temperament. If someone observes it for a moment, he will reveal his feelings and then be killed. Weichen guesses that you will have to pay death by just the pension..."

"Then where are you going to choose?"

Fang Zheng thought for a while and said cautiously: "In many places, such as the people secretly recruiting civilians, or businessmen who walk, doctors in the countryside, students in academy, and even prisoners in prison cells, they only need to be ordinary and unobtrusive. Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether it works or not, please ask the emperor to decide."

The emperor pondered for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, your words make sense. The shadow is not an army. There is no need for them to fight. It is not appropriate to select soldiers to be included in it..."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "The emperor is wise. In this way, our secret spies with our shadows in all walks of life, and the shadows can grow rapidly."

After a pause, Fang Zheng continued: "The shadow will grow and grow in the future. Weichen plans to divide the shadow into several parts according to his functions, and everyone will perform their responsibilities and communicate with each other, so that the efficiency will be higher. At that time, there will inevitably be some open affairs, and then we can select refined soldiers from each army to fill it."

The emperor smiled and said, "I hand over this matter to you, so you must do it seriously. No matter where you choose people, I will not interfere. But I have to look at the results. The newly recruited personnel must be useful in the shortest time! Do you understand?"

Fang Zheng hurriedly bowed to receive the order. Just as he was about to sue the emperor, the emperor suddenly said, "In a few days, the Minister of Rites will come to your house, so you can receive it well."

Fang Zheng was stunned, Yang Duqing, Minister of Rites? Why did he come to my house? I don’t know him very well...

Seeing his stupid look, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "Silly boy, are you planning to get along with my Mi'er like this without any reputation? Humph! I can't afford to lose this face!"

Fang Zheng's mind was quick, and he immediately understood that the emperor was going to marry Changping to me, so he sent the Minister of Rites to discuss the marriage.

A burst of ecstasy filled my chest. Fang Zheng's face turned red with excitement, and he was dizzy like drinking mellow wine. There was only one thought in his heart that kept flashing: I was going to get married, I was going to get married, Young Master, I will be a man with a family and a family in the future...

Seeing that Fang Zheng's expression was strange, the emperor was shocked: "Fang Zheng,... are you okay? What's wrong with you?"

Fang Zheng shook his head vigorously, and suddenly laughed three times at the sky. When the emperor was inexplicably surprised, Fang Zheng accidentally grabbed the emperor's hand, shook it, and shook it again, his tone was excited, and his voice was choked: "Your Majesty, no, Father-in-law, Father-in-law,......Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The emperor may have never been intimately contacted by his children like this. He coughed twice unnaturally, but he was still happy with Fang Zheng's intimate movements. He stretched out his dragon claws and patted Fang Zheng's shoulders with a little stiffness. He smiled and said with a gentle smile: "Silly boy, he is less than nineteen years old, and he is a fifth-rank official. He is also a loyal and brave uncle. He should start a family. In the future, he must treat my Mi'er well, otherwise I can settle the new and old accounts together and cut off your head!"

Fang Zheng wiped his tears and sobbed, "Master... I just want to ask one question."

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng with a smile on his face, his eyes full of relief: "You ask."

"I just want to ask,... How much dowry should the royal family give to marry a daughter?"
