    Qin Kan slowly walked out of Beizhen Fusi Yamen with his hands behind his back. Two rows of majestic warriors in golden robes in front of the door saluted him with swords. Qin Kan nodded slightly and stepped across the high threshold of the side door without squinting.

    Dozens of guards were waiting outside the gate. When they saw Qin Kan going out, they hurriedly gathered around him. Two of them silently hitched the two horses to the shafts not far away.

    Qin Kan waved to them and said with a smile: "Don't be busy tying up the car, I want to take a walk."

    The guards quickly dispersed, faintly scattered around Qin Kan, warily looking around at the flow of people on the street.

    Ding Shun was still following Qin Kan, only half a step behind. This distance was a distance of status, and Ding Shun did not dare to cross it at all.

    People come and go on the streets of the capital, and all kinds of people, businessmen, travelers, and hawkers are busy with their own lives and the lives of their families. All kinds of busyness are like water droplets, gradually gathering into a prosperous river.

    Qin Kan wore a black scholar's shirt and walked slowly on the busy street. He looked at the bustling surroundings with a smile on his face and a satisfied look in his eyes. Occasionally he would stop and bend down to take a look at someone he liked at a stall.  I bought a small item, and then politely chatted with the hawker or vegetable farmer, asking not only the price, but also the number of people in the family, the harvest of the land, the level of taxes, etc., and then I left after asking the details in a normal manner. I chose two items when I left.  The items were taken away, and the guards behind them handed over the money to the vendors.

    It was just like walking and buying all the way. By the time the long Jinshui Street reached the end, it had already taken two or three hours, and the whole morning passed in an instant.

    Ding Shun and the guards did not dare to rush, and followed Qin Kan patiently without saying a word.  After walking down a street, the guards were carrying a lot of bits and pieces.

    Qin Kan seemed to have come back to his senses at this time. He looked at the things the guards were carrying and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I bought so many without knowing it. They say money can buy happiness. I think I must be spending my money in the wrong way."  ¡­¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The din of people could be heard in the distance, but Qin Kan had lost interest at this time. He waved his hand half-heartedly and said, "Enough shopping, let's go back home."

    Everyone then turned around.  Walk towards the city gate.

    Ding Shun followed Qin Kan and remained silent.  He looked very confused, wondering why Mr. Qin was still interested in shopping when the situation in the court was so critical.

    On the way out of the city, Qin Kan got on his horse.  The sound of horse hooves trampling on the stone road.

    I know that Mr. Qin is not in a good mood.  The guards did not dare to speak.  Even Ding Shun shut up without saying a word with a wink.

    After a long time, Qin Kan finally broke the silence.

    "Ding Shun"

    "My subordinates are here."

    "Ifif His Majesty really dies, have you ever thought about how we will change in the future?"

    Ding Shun grinned and said, "I didn't think too much about it. After all, I am following my father-in-law. Hello, we old brothers. If your future is not smooth, we old brothers will not be well either."

    Qin Kan smiled slightly and said: "It is said that being stupid is a blessing. You put the future of this old brother on me. It seems that you have no intentions, but in fact you are cunning and cunning."

    Ding Shuntian smiled and said: "Government and state affairs are all things that a big man like you should think about. When it comes to tempts, a hundred old brothers can't compare to one. It's all in vain. Let's just let him help us."  It¡¯s planned, let us take care of the life-threatening matters, the swords, mountains and seas of fire are all at the command of the father-in-law.¡±

    Qin Kan felt a warmth in his heart, and the depression of the past few days finally eased a little.

    He has been in this world for more than ten years, and the people he really cares about are still these vulgar and simple warriors. These old team members who have been with him for more than ten years are his biggest reliance in this world, and they are the only ones who make people suspicious.  He has no qualms about showing his behind.

    Ding Shun smiled for a moment, then his expression suddenly became a little worried. He lowered his voice and said, "My lord, Your Majesty is drowning. Is the situation really in danger?"

    Qin Kan nodded calmly: "To tell you the truth, it is indeed very critical. If His Majesty is still awake in a few days, the cabinet will not be able to withstand the pressure of the courtiers, and will inevitably initiate a court meeting to discuss the candidate for the new monarch. I have held great power these years.  There are many factions in the capital and local officials. If the new monarch takes the throne, I am afraid that I will inevitably be jealous and excluded by the new monarch"

    Ding Shun was startled and said hurriedly: "Master, does he have any countermeasures?"

    Qin Kan shook his head: "There is no way to deal with it. He is the king and I am the minister. I can kill the court officials and political enemies, but I cannot attack the new king, otherwise I will be the public enemy of the world"

    Ding Shun is a martial artist. In the past few days, he has seen the atmosphere in the capital court becoming more and more depressing. However, he has always had confidence in Qin Kan, so he believed that Qin Kan could survive any crisis without any danger. But he did not expect that the court would now  The situation is criticalAt this point, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead when he heard this, and his face turned a little pale.

    Qin Kan looked at him quietly and said, "Are you afraid?"

    "Nonot afraid!" Ding Shun raised his chest hard.

    Qin Kan smiled: "Afraid is just afraid, why bother to save face? I might as well tell you honestly, I am also very scared now, scared to death. If the new king doesn't like me, he only needs to relinquish my power and launch a few more  The court officials impeached me, and the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies went through the motions. A steel knife was hung around the necks of my wife, my family, and I, and our heads would fall to the ground at any time. The history books would even write me down as a great traitor throughout the ages.  Cai Jing, Qin Yi and his ilk in the Song Dynasty were not much betterand you, the old people who followed me, were swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind, not even a single hair was left behind."

    Ding Shun's face became paler and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing.

    Qin Kan looked at him sympathetically, but asked unkindly: "Do you feel a faint wetness in your crotch?"

    Ding Shun's white lips trembled a few times. When he saw Qin Kan's teasing gaze, Ding Shun suddenly felt a surge of embarrassment and anger. The fear in his eyes quickly faded away, replaced by a stern look, and he said fiercely: "Master, don't scare me, these years  I, Old Ding, have been the governor of the fifth-grade town. I have seen gold and silver mountains. I have eaten delicacies from mountains and seas. I have played with the most beautiful kiln girl in the capital. I have married four beautiful concubines at home and gave birth to five sons and three daughters.  , Lao Ding's life is worth it! It's just a death. Lao Ding will go back and secretly send away his eldest son. Leave a seed for Lao Ding's family, and then follow the father-in-law. What do you want to do, father-in-law? Lao Ding and brothers  They are all with you. If you don¡¯t want to resist, Old Ding and his brothers will throw away their knives and let them kill you. If you want to wear a yellow robe, Old Ding will start it now"

    "Shut up!" Qin Kan's expression changed, and he sternly stopped the treacherous words Ding Shun was about to blurt out.

    Ding Shun was startled and curled his lips nonchalantly, but remained silent.

    Look around.  Found no one around.  The only ones closest to him were a group of guards, old brothers who had been following him since Nanjing. Qin Kan was relieved and turned to look at Ding Shun with an angry look on his face.

    "You should really be taken to prison. Just like those prisoners who were tortured, your stinky mouth will be sewn up with sheep tendon sutures so that you can never speak!" Qin Kan said fiercely.

    Ding Shun seemed to suddenly have an epiphany after the scare just now.  There was an air of desperate bastard energy all over his body.  He smiled shamelessly and said: "Both of us are old brothers. We can't spread the word. Don't worry, sir."

    Qin Kan¡¯s face was ashen.  The hand holding the horse's reins trembled slightly.

    He suddenly realized that any decision he made was no longer just his own business. He had too many responsibilities on his shoulders, not only for his wife and children, but also for the wives and children of these old subordinates, and countless dependents.  The wives and small family members of his court ministers, one thought will determine the life and death of many lives

    ***************************************************  ******************

    When Qin Kan was still on his way back to his home, a rare visitor came to the Qin Mansion.

    In fact, the rare guest is not that rare, but he has some troubles with the hostess, so he has been living in Tang Zihe's mansion on the inner street of Dongcheng for these years, and Tang Zihe keeps company with him, but it is Hua Dang, the leader of the Duoyan Wei tribe in Saibei.  Tana, the apple of his eye.

    Ten years have passed, and Pearl on the grassland has gradually restrained her wild nature. Her temperament is much gentler than before, and she is no longer like a firecracker. Today, she still likes to wear the bright red dress that Han women only wear when they get married.  , no matter when and where I see her, she is like a jumping flame, never willing to be quiet.

    Tana has always been at odds with Du Yan, and her only advantage was in boxing and kicking, which she often struggled with in front of Du Yan. After several losses, Tana finally admitted the fact that she was not as good as Du Yan. As the saying goes, there is no room for two in the same mountain.  A tigress, so Tana simply moved out in anger and lived with Tang Zihe.

    The daughter of the prairie who had not visited the house for a long time, the head of the Duoyan tribe, who was forced to marry Qin Kan, was sitting calmly in the wing of the inner courtyard, looking at the pictures on the wall impatiently.  She could never understand the original paintings and calligraphy of the previous dynasty, and the corners of her mouth that curled up from time to time fully demonstrated the righteous contempt of this ignorant person.

    Hanging wolf heads, sheep horns and bows and knives all over the wall is in line with her aesthetics. Otherwise, it is in poor taste and needs salvation from the Immortal God.

    There were gentle footsteps outside the door. Tana looked up and saw Du Yan, dressed in a lake green gingham skirt, walking in. The gold hairpin on her headdress and the jade pendant on her waist made a jingling sound. She looked at it from a distance.  There is a sense of comfort that is pleasing to the eye.

    Tana glanced at her, quickly turned her head away, and let out a slight snort of disdain from her nostrils.

    ???????? Du Yan doesn¡¯t think soFortunately, she had never planned to tame this little wild horse on the grassland. After seeing her for a long time, the fact that the little wild horse did not spit in her face in a hurry can be regarded as a sign of improvement and virtuous character.

    After entering the room, Du Yan sat casually on the embroidery stool next to the Eight Immortals table. Shi Shiran poured herself a cup of tea and said calmly: "Are you looking for your husband or me to spar with each other? If you are looking for your husband, just wait patiently here.  My husband is busy dealing with government affairs and has not returned yet. If you want to spar with me, I will find an open place in the inner courtyard so that you can experience the familiar feeling of being beaten"

    Tana was furious, and her pretty face immediately turned red: "Are fists and kicks so great? If you have the guts if you have the guts to race horses with me! Comparing, better than drinking!"

    Du Yan sneered: "I am the royal wife of the Duke's palace, and I have been granted the title of first-class imperial concubine. I have no skin and shame to race and drink with a foreign girl. Do I still want the dignity of the Duke's palace? Stop talking nonsense and talk about something if you have something to say. It's fine with me.  But let¡¯s go.¡±

    Tana said coldly: "Something's wrong."

    "Say." Du Yan spoke more concisely.

    Tana bit her lower lip and said reluctantly: "The man on the inner street of Dongcheng, let me ask you to come over"

    Du Yan was startled and did not come back to her senses: "Who is that person on the inner street of Dongcheng?"

    "Who else could it be? Of course it is Mr. Qin, who is famous in the capital, and his wife is in the foreign residence."

    Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she felt like a mad cow seeing red cloth, her almond-shaped eyes quickly turned red with blood, her nostrils were breathing heavily, and her two delicate little hooves felt the urge to dig the ground.

    "What a person with the surname Tang! No matter how big or small, he doesn't know his dignity. The concubine doesn't follow the rules to meet the main wife, but she still dares to let me, Mrs. Gaoming, go to see her. Did she take the wrong medicine or the wrong medicine?"

    Tana was confused when she heard this: "Is there a difference between taking the wrong medicine and taking the wrong medicine?"

    Du Yan slammed the table and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go to the inner street of Dongcheng. I want to see the majesty of this lady. Cut her belly open and see how brave she is!"

    Tana excitedly fanned the flames on the side: "Do you want to bring weapons? She is very powerful"

    ¡°Obviously, this pearl on the prairie is very insidious and has a bad idea to make money for the fishermen. Unfortunately, the city is too shallow after all, and it only has the word ¡°bad¡± engraved on its forehead.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Du Yan only took Tana with her and rushed to the inner streets of the east city in a fierce manner.

    "It is said that a skilled person is bold, but the copycat successor of Neijiaquan has her own arrogance.  She despised the attitude of a shrew who gathered a bunch of evil women and aunties with sticks to make trouble for the mistress.

    The excited Tana led Du Yan out of the carriage.  The two girls stood in front of the mysterious mansion in the inner street of Dongcheng, which was famous among the capital's masters.  Tana quickly moved to the side with a wink, hid behind the stone lion at the gate and stuck out her head, waiting for the Qin family's main wife, Mrs. Gaoming, to show off her power.

    Du Yan lived up to expectations.  After hesitating for a moment, he finally had the nerve to put his hands on his hips like a teapot to embarrass himself. He stepped forward and smashed the closed door with a pair of pink fists.

    "Open the door, open the door. If you have the ability, ask me to come. If you have the ability, open the door"

    As soon as she shouted, the dark door suddenly opened, and two people who looked like servants bowed to her, but in the middle of the door stood a graceful woman, bowing to her.

    "My sister came to visit in person. My sister's crime is actually because my sister has important matters to discuss. There are many people outside the Duke's house, so I have to avoid people's eyes and ears. Please forgive me for my presumptuousness."

    "Ah? Uh" Du Yan was stunned, and the fist that smashed the door froze in mid-air. The murderous aura that had been brewing for a long time along the way was frightened by the completely unexpected posture in front of him, and he only felt a  Ji punched a ball of cotton hard, but it was soft and had no effect, and his anger immediately drained away.

    The concubine¡¯s posture was so upright, her attitude was so humble, and her reasons were so sufficient, Du Yan¡¯s anger suddenly turned into a guilty conscience.

    "Ah, this Haha, I just passed by your house and saw that your door is so dark and cute. I couldn't help it. I couldn't help but smash it a few times to express my love. Look, what a smooth and lovely door  " Du Yan smiled dryly and told lies. In order to make her bad reasons more convincing, she even reached out her hand and slowly touched the door a few times, with a look of love in her eyes like a doting son.

    Tang Zihe, who was wearing a purple pleated skirt, also nodded seriously, with a pretty face showing the solemnity of discussing state affairs, and said with great sincerity: "Sister, if you don't tell me, I still don't think it. Now look at this door, which is dark and shiny, with a hint of majesty.  It's a bit free and easy, with a hint of unruliness in its solemnity, and it looks so fresh and refined that even my sister couldn't help but want to smash it a few times to show her love."

    Du Yan said seriously: "Yes, that's exactly what it is"

      Gently touching the broken door, Du Yan continued to sigh without conscience: "What a good door!"

    Tang Zihe tilted her delicate body slightly and said with a smile: "Sister is also the owner of this outer mansion. Please come inside quickly and see how our husband-in-law has a vision for adding property to the Qin family."

    "Okay, okay." Finally able to get rid of the damn topic about that door, Du Yan put on the airs of a lady of the Qin family, straightened her back and walked into the house that was nominally owned by the Qin family with great majesty.  .

    Tana, who was hiding behind the stone lion outside the door, stepped out and saw the two sisters, who were so harmonious as if they had been best friends for many years, entering the door. Tana opened her eyes with horror and disappointment, and did not regain consciousness for a long time.  After a long time, he let out a heavy snort from his nostrils, gritted his white teeth and said angrily: "The Han people are too hypocritical and shameless. How could that dog official marry such two people?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The process of visiting the house was very fast. Du Yan had no intention of visiting. She was originally here to fight.

    After hurriedly shopping around, the three women returned to the wing in the inner courtyard. Tang Zihe ordered his maid Xiang Zhi to close the door and stand guard outside, and then poured a full cup of tea for Du Yan with his own hands.

    Du Yan kept her gaze fixed on Tang Zihe, looking up and down from his face to his body, not even missing a single hair.

    For ten years, Du Yan and Tang Zihe have not met each other until today because of their respective arrogance.

    The more she looked at Du Yan, the more admiration she felt in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly understood why this concubine never came to the house to serve tea to her, the wife of the wife. Tang Zihe was a woman with a heart as high as the sky.  The orchid in the empty valley is a solitary branch that only pities itself and never bothers to show its beauty to the world. The orchid is the orchid, how can it be as kitsch to the world as the peony?

    Du Yan felt a faint sense of sadness in her heart. Her husband was very capable of promotion, and he was also very capable of lust. None of his wives and concubines inside and outside the house were vulgar, which made it difficult for a woman like her to establish a prestige.  Very sorry

    "Sister Tang, it's rare for you to ask me to come here. There are no outsiders in the house now. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

    Tang Zihe's eyelids were drooped, and his brush-like eyelashes were gently swayed twice. His tone suddenly became serious: "Sister, do you know that the situation in the capital is about to fall, and that your husband is in a precarious situation like a precipice?"
