Chapter 14 A Breath of Fresh Air from the Traveler

Chapter 14: A Breath of Fresh Air for Travelers

Ye Xuan cleaned up the yard and treated his brothers to a big meal, finally giving him some peace and quiet.

Within the Zhenfu Division.

"Sir, we don't have anything to do next."

Song Zhenshan walked into Ye Xuan's room and said casually,
"I suddenly feel like I have nothing to do all day and I am bored."

After being busy for a few days, I suddenly have some free time and feel uncomfortable all over.

His informants are constantly infiltrating the residences of officials in the capital, and they are gaining more and more information.

Apart from daily work such as patrolling, these chief officers don't have much to do.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei had just come to the fore during the Empty Seal Case, and now is also an opportunity for them to be more restrained so as not to cause backlash from officials.

Ye Xuan said with a smile: "You don't want to take free money when you are idle, why don't you resign from your position and work with the people below?"

Song Zhenshan quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it then."

Although he was the lowest-ranking official in the Jinyiwei, he was also of the seventh rank. The county magistrates were of this rank, so naturally they were unwilling to continue working so hard.

Ye Xuan raised his head and said, "Cherish the time when you have nothing to do now. In two years, you won't have the time to be lazy even if you want to."

The case of the empty seal was just the beginning. In the future, the Jinyiwei, as the most powerful weapon in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, had to raid houses and gather intelligence every now and then.

Whenever someone was killed, it had to be linked to the Empty Seal case or the Hu Weiyong case, and the Jinyiwei had to investigate each one one by one, which was really troublesome.

Want to be lazy then?

No way!
After Song Zhenshan left, Ye Xuan continued to look at the calligraphy in front of him.

I have nothing to do these days, so I decided to cultivate my character and start practicing calligraphy, or do some other things.

Now that I have acquired so many skills, it's time to think about combining them to achieve maximum efficiency.

Ye Xuan is a man without much ambition. Now, apart from confiscating property, nothing else can attract him.

As for stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something else?
At a time like this, you'd better stay here honestly, otherwise the only option is to run away.

A time traveler like me is truly a rare breed.

As he was thinking this, he saw a chubby figure sneaking into his room.

"Fatty Huang, where did you steal the money?"

Ye Xuan saw this figure and asked with a smile.

This fat yellow guy is called Huang Qianming, and he is also a centurion under Wei Qingming.

The two of them had a friendship before, and during this period, Fatty Huang was sent by Wei Qingming to assist Ye Xuan's operations, and their relationship became even closer.

The two of them have similar personalities and hit it off immediately.

Fatty Huang didn't consider himself an outsider. He sat directly opposite Ye Xuan, swaying and letting out a long sigh.

He glanced at the guy on Ye Xuan's desk, snorted with disdain, and said, "You are still practicing calligraphy, you are really not doing your job properly."

"Come on, let's go out and patrol the city."

Patrol?

Ye Xuan was stunned.

The number of Jinyiwei nowadays is not large. For example, Wei Qingming said that there are a thousand households, but in fact, they only have about 500 people at most.

It was not until later when the Jinyiwei became more and more important that its number was gradually increased, and it became a behemoth that made all officials tremble with fear.

But now, there are only eight centurions like Ye Xuan in the entire yamen.

After all, he and Fatty Huang were both centurions of the sixth rank and the chief officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

How could he be blamed for patrolling? There were only two of them, and they were the captains of the Jinyiwei. How could the Jinyiwei put their reputation when they went out on patrol?

To put it bluntly, Ye Xuan was tired in the past few days, so what else could he do if he didn't have anything to do now?
If I don't slack off, would I be worthy of my sixth-rank rank?

Going out on patrol is so tiring.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You know that you have gained weight recently, so you want to go out for a walk to lose weight?"

Fatty Huang glared, patted his fat and said, "What do you know, you bamboo pole?"

"I spent a lot of effort to build this body of flesh. When I go to the battlefield, this will be my lifesaver."

He is a little older and has been on the battlefield before and has made military achievements.

As he spoke, he came close to Ye Xuan and whispered, "You stay at home all day, just like a girl in her boudoir. How can this be possible?"

"Brother Huang will take you to see the world!"

Big world?
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

I was not allowed to leave Beijing without reason, so I didn't know where to go.

I heard that this Fatty Huang has some connections, and his so-called big world might be something very interesting.

"Tell me details."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the obscene smile on Fatty Huang's face and had a guess in his mind.

"Isn't it some unclean place?"

Fatty Huang was unhappy when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "What unclean place?"

"That place is a place that purifies our souls. You really don't know how to talk."

"Today, my brother invites you to go to Qunfang Tower and have a good time, so that you won't be embarrassed later."

"I've been so busy lately. I haven't seen Miss Sisi for a long time. I don't know how she's eating or dressed well these days."

Ye Xuan pretended to say: "I am a clean person and would never go to that kind of place!"

Looking at Ye Xuan's righteous look, Fatty Huang said disdainfully: "Come on."

"When we first entered the Inspection School, you pointed to the Qunfang Building and said that when you have money in the future, I will invite you in."

"Now we are both centurions, with money and free time, why did you change your mind?!"

what? !

And this thing? !
Oh, it seems to be true.

Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, stood up and walked to Fatty Huang, hooked his hand around Fatty Huang's short and thick neck, and said with a smile: "I was just testing you just now."

"As expected of my good buddy."

"Come on, let's go on patrol!"

Fatty Huang said unhappily, "You are really shameless."

Wei Qingming basically didn't come to work these days, so they were like monkeys claiming to be kings and walked out openly.

Song Zhenshan poked his head out and said to Wang Feihu beside him with some concern: "Do you think our master will be led astray by Master Huang?"

Only friends or superiors can call Fatty Huang by his nickname. If subordinates like them dare to call him by that nickname, they will inevitably be punished with a beating.

Wang Feihu didn't care and said, "Our master is a handsome man with no family affairs. What's wrong with him going out to play with Master Huang?"

"It's as if you've never been there."

Song Zhenshan didn't look embarrassed at all, and said, "I'm not like adults."

"Isn't it said that adults' kung fu is the kung fu of children? What should I do if it is broken?"
