    The title given to Gao Qiu by Captain Gao is located near Quyuan Street in the south of the city.  It's not far from Xiao Yan's Nanxunmen's Yingxiang Pond, where he was given the title.  Gao Qiu has been in charge of the three yamen for more than ten years. Whenever he uses the imperial army, money rolls through his hands like a big river.  Although Gao Qiu was not as provocative and a treacherous minister as described in Water Margin, he was not among the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty.  He is just a private person used by Zhao Ji in his latent residence. He is a cautious and cautious person, with no great abilities or great evil.  But he doesn't have a reputation for being honest.  Over the past ten years or so, he has managed his family's business in a prosperous manner, no less than Cai Xiang's residence on Jinliang Bridge Street.  [.] A year ago, in front of Gao Taiwei's residence, there were still cars and horses like dragons.  There was a bustle of visitors waiting to be heard.  The families of the generals of the Forbidden Army were already wealthy, and they did not have so many worries about their official reputation.  In addition, there are also many princes and princes among the generals, and their actions are even more grand and arrogant than those of civil servants.  Gao Qiu was in charge of the Forbidden Army for Zhao Ji, and he also befriended the generals of these Forbidden Army.  Every day there are several banquets held in the mansion, which last late into the night.  The sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from afar.  The high-rise building in the house is brightly lit, like a gathering of gods.  But when Gao Qiu couldn't afford it, the mansion of Taiwei Gao, who was not a member of the Forbidden Army and had no foundation and relied solely on Zhao Ji's favor, was deserted.  The soldier guarding the gate was dozing there with his sleeves folded in his arms.  Horse-tethering posts stand in rows at the door, and moss has grown on the empty areas, which are no longer what they used to be.  In this deserted situation, there was a sudden commotion from inside the door.  In the blink of an eye, Gao Qiang, the commander-in-chief of the Taiwei Yamen, walked straight to the gate surrounded by more than a dozen servants, watching several soldiers and the doorman on duty dozing there.  Although Gao Qiang was angry, he had something on his mind today, so he snorted and said nothing.  But the noble slaves around him were already yelling and scolding: "A bunch of prisoners and village birds, they don't care about their duties! It's just that if the Taiwei's affairs are not going well, they all become lazy, isn't it? You know, the Taiwei's Mansion or the army  Lawyers, take them down one by one, beat them with dozens of military sticks, and let you know that the pot is made of iron!" The soldiers on duty at the door and the doorman all jumped up as if they had been burned.  Everyone in the imperial army was engaged in occupation and service. As the commander-in-chief of the palace, Gao Qiu was in charge of the three yamen of the army. Needless to say, he was engaged in occupation and service.  All the heroes in the Taiwei Mansion have their names in the Forbidden Army.  Some of them had the background of small military officers, and worked for the Taiwei Mansion with the clothes and food of the Song Dynasty.  Punishment is also based on military law rather than family law.  It was a serious sin for a wealthy family in the Song Dynasty to kill a servant, but even beheading him in the Taiwei Mansion was not worth it.  Everyone stood up straight there, muttering to themselves.  This Yameni master has not come in or out through the gate for a long time.  After all, his father was lying on the bed sick, and he had to wait for the medicine in the name of a disheveled man.  Just to go out, the entrance and exit from the main entrance is not very nice.  They always go out through the corner door in the backyard. Today, they suddenly came to this door where no ghost comes. God knows what happened.  Gao Qiang didn't care about their laziness. He sent a few of his followers to go out and have a look, while he walked around inside the door.  He lowered his head and thought.  Today he came to greet him in person, naturally waiting for Xiao Yan to arrive.  That day, Fang Teng made an agreement with him and asked him to convey his words to his father, the lieutenant, who was lying on the couch at home.  Gao Qiang thought about it, gritted his teeth and told his father, the lieutenant.  There was no other reason for this. He, Gao Yanei, was used to being popular, and the disciples of the Forbidden Army generals were used to flattering him.  Suddenly everything turned upside down. His Gao Yanei was not even allowed to join the second division of the Football League, and he could not calm down.  If by relying on Xiao Yan's actions, he can stand up a little, or even beat those people in the imperial army who can turn against him faster than turning the pages of a book, Gao Yanei would really like to see it.  He finished his report with a trembling voice, preparing to wait for his father's thunderous wrath, but nothing came.  Gao Qiu was lying on the hospital bed and said nothing.  Just close your eyes and relax.  Gao Qiang was worried for a while and couldn't figure out what was going on.  In his opinion, the generals of the Gao family and the Forbidden Army simply cannot urinate in a pot.  It is inevitable that his own team will be squeezed out by those deep-rooted Forbidden Army generals groups in the future.  While Gao Qiu was lying on the bed sick, many of his own soldiers cried and expressed their grievances several times.  The Gao family has always followed the wishes of the officials without making any compromises, which is why they have achieved their current status.  Now the officials want to inspect the funds and financial affairs of the Forbidden Army, and continue to act according to the officials' wishes. All they have to do is help Xiao Yan.  Xiao Yan muddied the water a little, so that people like them could have some room to make ends meet, which would be better than living or dying now.  It seems that even his yamen understand this truth.  Why did my own Taiwei father pretend not to hear?  Is he really seriously ill?  But even though my Taiwei father cannot afford it, he is not confused on the sickbed, right?  Until yesterday, the official family secretly sent an envoy from the forbidden area. They first gave a lot of precious medicinal materials in the name of visiting the sick, and then talked about it in detail with their father for a while.  Gao Qiucai sent his son and finally said a few words: "Xiao Xianmo is this person."I'll post it within a few days, that's what's next.  If Xiao Xianmo comes, lead him inside for a while.  " Gao Qiang thought about it for a while and finally understood something. Even if his father is about to die of illness, he is still very cautious about the officials' orders. When doing anything, he still needs to be informed by the officials before he is willing to make arrangements. I don't know this.  Why did Xiao Xianmo persuade the officials to come to Gao Qiu's side! It seems that the officials are determined to check the funds and financial plans of the imperial army.  In the meantime, it is natural to follow the wishes of the official family. If the official family is a good person, it will be better than the current embarrassing situation.  The family of the imperial guards also had to ask for help. Behind the joy was deep concern. Even he, the official, knew that the financial affairs of the imperial guards were not easy to deal with.  Han Jiang from the Shenzong Dynasty took charge of this task. He was from the Han family in Hebei and was a prime minister. In the end, Xiao Yan jumped into this pit at the order of the official family. What should he do if the imperial family's family counterattacked?  Is it enough for Xiao Yan to be the scapegoat? Don't involve the Gao family in the end! After all, Gao Yanei is young and has little knowledge, and Fang Teng doesn't have a way to express his anger.  He was just like holding a ball of hot coals. Now the officials sent envoys to Gao Qiu to meet with Xiao Yan to see how the imperial army's finances and plans were going to be inspected. Gao Yanei became uneasy again and couldn't figure it out.  I don't know if he expected Xiao Yan to come. Fortunately, this Xiao Xianmo didn't give Gao Yanei a headache for too long. Within two hours after the emissary left, someone came to Xiao Yantai and Gao Qiang to take it in personally.  Next, I made an agreement with the visitor to sweep the house tomorrow to wait for Xiao Xianmo to come. Now that things have happened, Gao Qiang also lost his temper and stomped his feet. How could his father's status in the eyes of the officials be comparable to that of Xiao Xianmo?  ? Even if something goes wrong by then, few will be involved in the Gao family. It's great that I, Gao Qiang, will just act like a coward. If he gets his way, the Gao family will still be a noble family in the future.  My father must survive these few months to protect the Gao family from the wind and rain for the last time. While Gao Qiang was pacing back and forth in front of the house with a lot of things going on, several of his personal companions who had been sent out were busy covering up!  Yijiao jumped in from the side door and replied breathlessly to Gao Qiang: "Xiao Xianmo is here, Xiao Xianmo is here!  Gao Qiang was shocked, gathered his energy, and called to the people around him: "Come on, open the middle door and welcome Xiao Xianmo in!"  ¡± In the blink of an eye, the middle door that had not been opened for a long time slowly opened with a creaking sound. Xiao Yan came here, firstly, on the orders of an official, and secondly, he was considered a high-ranking civil servant, so he deserved it.  This honor must be opened. Although Gao Qiang is a dandy, he still has the ability to welcome him. Speaking of which, Xiao Xianmo is already famous in Bianliang.  These days, a rare extravagant figure in Bianliang City is very popular. Because his father is ill, Gao Qiang can't make a big splash even if he goes out to destroy the remaining Liao Dynasty and stir up trouble in Bianliang.  I was very curious. As I walked outside, I heard the sound of horse hooves. A dozen tall horses from the north came from the south, and a group of agile followers came to them. One of them was Fang Teng who I had met before.  He is wearing a purple robe and looks like a civil servant. On horseback, his back is straight. Although he is a little thinner, his eyebrows are handsome and his eyes are dark and bright. Looking at him for a moment, he feels that his appearance and behavior are a bit irritating.  It seems that it was Xiao Yan and Xiao Xianmo who were able to escape from the blood of Yan Di Corpse Mountain! It was Xiao Yan and Fang Teng who persuaded Zhao Ji to support him.  , and sent an order to Gao Qiu, who knew the inside story of the Forbidden Army, and asked Gao Qiu to discuss with him how to prepare for the inspection and sorting out the financial affairs of the Forbidden Army. Xiao Yan did not delay at all, and immediately went to the Taiwei's residence and made an appointment to come to the house the next day.  Bye. At this moment, there is nothing left to do. Let the wind go out first, and then the monsters in the pool that have been accumulated for hundreds of years can emerge.  After the arrangements are in place, it depends on whether he can clean up the cancer of the Song Dynasty and the Imperial Guards! In the past hundred years, so many capable people in the Song Dynasty were helpless against this cancer.  They are also in the game, and they don¡¯t have the courage to smash the old structure. But they are not part of the game, and they will not hesitate to smash it all! The opponent they face this time is different from any opponent they have experienced since time travel.  The dangers are ten times and a hundred times more dangerous. Even with Xiao Yan's current hard-hearted attitude, he still hesitates over and over again. The number of success or failure is really unpredictable, but he has only one way to go to the top.  ?Where to retreat?  ??What is the idea of ??having the two beauties of Little Mute and Guo Rong, taking a large amount of wealth, and escaping to a place in the south of the Yangtze River to live a wealthy life?  It had long since faded away in Xiao Yan's heart, and now his path only had forward arrows, but no instructions for his hind legs.  Looking at a young man who looked like a yamen came out of the middle gate, Fang Teng smiled and said softly: "It is Gao Taiwei's yameni. He was adopted by the Taiwei from his brother's family to his own name. He loves him like a treasure. He is young and energetic.  He is not afraid of trouble, and he is not a difficult person. " But Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. The reputation of Gao Yanei has remained majestic through the ages.  How many young men, after reading Water Margin at night, dreamed of being like this Gao Yanei, leading a group of men in the busy thoroughfare of their city, and teasing beautiful young ladies casually?  Anyone with big breasts and long legs who passes by will definitely be killed and not spared.  It's amazing to see a first-rate man walking around his own home.  At that moment, he and Fang Teng were not in a hurry. They got off their horses after more than ten steps, with Xiao Yan in front and Fang Teng behind.  He raised his hands and said, "I'll welcome you from a distance in the office!" Gao Qiang also smiled respectfully, and greeted Xiao Yan Fangteng honestly: "How can I deserve to be so polite to Xian Mo? As a junior, a nephew and a military minister, he is the right person.  It's the Privy Council's responsibility to greet Xianmo. If Xianmo says this again, my nephew will feel ashamed. Otherwise, my father would still be here to greet Xianmo Please forgive me for all the conciseness.  "Sin." Seeing Gao Yanei's polite, polite and considerate person, Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.  Gao Qiang calls himself nephew, and is deliberately trying to bring the relationship closer between the two.  Speaking of which, Xiao Yan was really looking forward to it. Gao Yameni showed a lewd smile, leaned close to him and chuckled in a low voice: "My nephew got an outstanding beauty in his new life, and he met it at the Daxiangguo Temple. It was not easy.  I wonder if Xian Mo is lucky enough to enjoy it with his nephew? " Thinking about this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is there anyone named Lu Qian who is close to Yuan Sui?"  In Gao Qiang's yamen, even if there is a military minister, the servants around him should not be called Yuan Sui.  Immediately he said he didn't dare, and after thinking for a while, he carefully answered: "No one around my nephew is named Lu Qian. But I wonder if the person Xianmo asked is working in the third government office? If so, my nephew  My nephew will definitely be able to find him for Xianmo. "Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hands and said, "I asked you casually, but I think the office has something to do with him. This person has nothing to do with me, so I don't need to trouble the office." He felt very disappointed, and there was no need for Lu.  Qian, it seems that there would be no Lin Chong. Without Lin Chong, it seems that there would be no such beautiful lady as Lin Chong I am now holding the status of Vice-Capital in the Privy Council, grabbing a small Forbidden Army instructor. What an envoy.  The wife of a low-ranking military attache is nothing.  Even hitting Coach Lin with money knocked him unconscious.  Without saying anything else, Gao Qiang extended his hand to greet the guests, so Xiao Yan and Fang Teng did not have to be polite to him, the yamen.  Nowadays, there are not many people in Bianliang City who can surpass Xiao Yan's status in Bianliang City.  Immediately he jumped in.  Gao Qiang followed the two of them respectfully, but he was thinking about it in his heart.  We should look for this person named Lu Qian carefully. Since Xiao Yan asked him about this person, it is impossible for Lu Qian to work in the third government office, and he does not know what relationship he has with this Xiao Xianmo?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~ In the inner courtyard, in a small courtyard, there is a faint scent of medicine.  Inside and outside the courtyard, there were countless maids and servants running around to wait on him.  Everyone wore soft-soled shoes, and there was no sound when they came and went.  Obviously he was afraid of disturbing the people in the courtyard.  Gao Qiang led Xiao Yan and Fang Teng along the way. On the way, the servants and maids all bowed respectfully and silently.  This small courtyard is very neatly manicured, and is dotted with rocks, flowers and trees, all of which are unique.  But it is not out of place with the affluent atmosphere surrounding the inner courtyard.  Xiao Yan and Fang Teng were lured all the way by Gao Qiang, but Xiao Yan just paid it back, but Fang Teng was a man of great knowledge, so he couldn't help but praise: "The inner courtyard of the monastery here is really full of hills and valleys!"  Gao Qiang smiled and said casually: "My father sent people to build it. My father really loves this jingshe. Since he was ill, he has lived here for a long time to cure his illness. He has not seen anyone in the past few months.  I went to see Xiao Xianmo because I was ill today, and my father was extremely devoted to Xianmo." Xiao Yan smiled and handed over his hands, "I'm so ashamed of myself for disturbing the captain's rest. How can Mr. Xiao be punished for this crime?" While being polite, he looked at Fang Teng.  After a quick glance, Xiao Yan could hear the flavor of Fang Teng's praise.  This Captain Gao is not a mediocre person, nor is he a rude and uncivilized Qiu Bayi.  If you want to impress him and make use of the team he has cultivated in the Forbidden Army over the years, you must work hard and do this well.?Transaction.  But don¡¯t do it recklessly!  While the three of them were chatting, they went straight into the Jingji Temple.  As soon as you enter the small courtyard, you can smell the aroma of medicine that is even stronger.  I don¡¯t know how many precious medicinal materials were mixed in.  A row of small charcoal stoves were raised in front of the corridor, burning smokeless fine charcoal. It seemed that spices were added to make the smoke fragrant.  The small charcoal stove was filled with simmering medicinal soup. A row of little maids aged fourteen or fifteen squatted in front of them, concentrating on observing the heat of the charcoal stove.  There are some rough servants in the middle, guarding different water tanks.  Some are rootless water that has been opened and waiting for the sky to fall, some are mountain spring water transported in at a high price, and some are thick water with a rustic flavor taken from the Bian River.  Several doctors-looking figures and the stewards of the mansion were quietly patrolling around, for fear that the medicine brewed here would lose its potency or something might go wrong.  Although I am already lingering on the sick bed, even in the middle of recuperation.  It can also be seen that this person was once a scholar of Su Xiaoshi, and then went to the residence of Xiaowang Duwei to accompany him, and finally followed the official family and stayed in the residence of Prince Duan.  After Jinshang ascended the throne, he devoted himself to cultivating him.  He was sent to the Western Army for a little training, and then he took charge of the three yamen of the Forbidden Army as the palace commander.  There are hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital, all under his orders.  Gao Qiu, known as Captain Gao but not famous, has been so majestic and wealthy for more than ten years!  When Gao Qiu was here, he was favored by his superiors.  The generals of the Forbidden Army were all honest and running around under his door.  It was not until the past few years that things around him became bad and he finally lay down on the couch.  The imperial family and generals became active as if they had lost control.  If he hadn't fallen ill, how could Xiao Yan have contacted the imperial family and run a ball market without him.  With Gao Qiu's non-troublesome personality, maybe there would be a motion on this matter and Gao Qiu would nip it in the bud.  A few days ago, Xiao Yan and the family members of the Forbidden Army generals were making trouble outside.  As good as honey mixed with oil, Hun regarded Captain Gao, who was already ill and could not see anything, and the team he cultivated as non-existent.  Now the situation has changed, but Xiao Yan has turned to take action against the family of forbidden army generals that he once temporarily allied with. Now he wants to go to Gao Qiu's mansion instead.  The situation in Bianliang has changed so strangely, and it is indeed a very difficult thing to say.  Today, Xiao Yan and the others have arrived. Naturally, the servants who are waiting for Gao Qiu to recuperate in this monastery already know about it.  I saw two people who looked like noble officials arriving at the Yamen.  The steward was so busy that he rushed into the house and whispered at the door of Gao Qiu's bedroom.  The maid who was waiting at the door responded, and after waiting for a while, she came out and said: "Lieutenant, please forgive Xiao Xianmo and Fang Zhongsan. They are ill and cannot go out to greet them. However, it would be rude to invite you two inside to talk."  "Please forgive Xiao Xianmo and Fang Zhongsan." The personal maid who came to deliver a message to Gao Qiu was only ten years old, and she was graceful, with pink face and rosy cheeks.  He must be the favored person around Gao Qiu, and he cannot stay away even if he is recovering from illness.  On a normal day, Xiao Yan would probably take a few more glances, but it was good to get over the addiction.  How could he feel like this at this moment?  Under the leadership of the maid, Xiao Yan, Fang Teng and Gao Qiang entered together.  In this era, places to recuperate must be sheltered from wind and light.  Gao Qiu's hospital bedroom is no exception.  The furnishings inside the room are neat, but it seems a little dark, and the air inside the room seems stuffy.  Mixed with the smell of the soup, it makes people feel a little dizzy.  As far as the eye could see, he saw a thin old man wrapped in a wind scarf on the couch, wrapped in clothes and leaning on the couch.  His eyes were so thin that they were sunken, but they did not look drowsy. He was looking at Xiao Yan and the others who walked in without blinking.  The old man who was leaning on the couch, looking so thin that he was out of shape, was naturally Captain Gao Qiu, who had controlled the Imperial Guards for Zhao Ji for many years.
