Time flies like a white horse, and the first month of the sixteenth year of Yongzhi passes like this for Chen Xiaoting.

Since the beginning of the first month, the Chen family's tea house has been on the right track, and Chen Dayong has personally managed it, so there is no need for Chen Xiaoting to bother more.

Everything is very beautiful in the future, Chen Xiaoting thought.

Taking the official hat handed over by Chen Xiaoyu, Chen Xiaoting put it firmly on his head, hung up his saber and walked out of the room.

At this time, Chen Xiaolin was also ready, so the two brothers went out together, and Gao Erniang and Chen Dayong counted the accounts of the tea house in their rooms.

Along the way, I met Zhao Ying, Zheng Ding, and Wu Jun, all of whom were waiting for Chen Xiaoting to go to the yamen together.

After arriving at the Yamen, when Chen Xiaoting wanted to go to the duty room to have a look, and then went directly to the tea house to have a look, Zhou Wenzhu found him.

This made Chen Xiaoting feel a bad feeling in his heart, because every time Zhou Wenzhu found him, there were more tricky things.

The most recent example is to go to the government to send a school captain, which is a drudgery for facing such a high official as the prefect.

But no matter how much he complained, Chen Xiaoting could only mutter a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to be wild in front of Zhou Wenzhu.

Entering the side hall of the lobby of the hundred households, Zhou Wenzhu did not write documents as usual, but sat on a chair and wiped his saber.

Embroidered spring knife...... These three words popped up in Chen Xiaoting's heart.

In this world, only officials of 100 households and above can hold the embroidered spring knife, which is exactly what Chen Xiaoting dreamed of.

"Humble duties, see Lord Hundred Households!" Chen Xiaoting knelt down on one knee and said, he didn't dare to fall behind at all in the courtesy.

Now Zhou Wenzhu was in a good mood, so he said: "Xiaoting is here, get up quickly!" ”

Chen Xiaoting is the person that thousands of households fancie, but now after all, he is still under Zhou Wenzhu, and he is also very handy.

Therefore, Wen Zhu's attitude towards Chen Xiaoting is okay, after all, such a powerful and measured subordinate is really difficult to find.

Chen Xiaoting stood up and said, "My lord, this knife is really good, it is a rare treasure!" ”

This knife is not only a knife, but also a symbol of the authority of a hundred households, and Zhou Wenzhu naturally loves it, although he has not really used a knife for many years.

So Zhou Wenzhu said: "No matter how good the knife is, it can't be used, it's just a few catties of iron...... We are all old, and the yamen has to rely on you young people! ”

Whoever believes this is really a fool.

I only heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Only when adults strategize can they have the strength to break through the strong enemy, and the adults have made great contributions, how can they be old!" ”

These words can be described as incomparably numb, but Chen Xiaoting's face was as usual when he said it, as if it was justified.

Anyway, it sounds comfortable, so Zhou Wenzhu smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't call you to listen to your sycophants, but to listen to the sycophants, someone is better than you!" ”

Some people shoot better than themselves, which means that those people can only shoot on the back, and they can't do things, right?

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Chen Xiaoting asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, what is the command of the lowly position?" ”

When asked about the topic, Zhou Wenzhu didn't have the heart to joke, so he said: "The Qianhu Institute has explained the errand, and the official plans to hand over this errand to you, how about it?" ”

Asking for his opinion before he even said what it was, this is too insincere, in other words, Chen Xiaoting has to take this errand.

So Chen Xiaoting said: "My lord, there is no objection to my humble position, please show me!" ”

Zhou Wenzhu had a new smile on his face, and after putting the saber into the sheath, he said: "The news from Qianhu is that Hu Weide, the director of the Yongliang Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of War, wants to come to Guangde to investigate the affairs of the guard!" ”

"The above means, Hu Weide came on the emperor's orders and asked our people to protect his safety, so this official plans to let you bring someone to escort him!"

As if to make Chen Xiaoting feel less difficult, Zhou Wenzhu continued: "Of course, you don't have to worry too much, our people are just going to fill up the façade for Hu Weide!" ”

"Otherwise, he, a civil official who came from afar, wouldn't be able to lower those soldiers in the guard!" Zhou Wenzhu said in a deep voice.

Chen Xiaoting really had the urge to vomit blood, could he be able to subdue those soldiers in the guard?

Listening to Zhou Wenzhu's later words, Chen Xiaoting found that things were even more tricky than he imagined, and the inventory of the guard would affect the interests of many people.

But since he agreed, the matter was settled, and Chen Xiaoting could only hope that Zhou Wenzhu would not be too cunning about himself.

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoting said: "My lord, since the head of the military department is under the emperor's order, there must be a lot of subordinates and entourage, right?"

Zhou Wenzhu replied: "This Lord Hu came from Liangzhou, and the news from Qianhu said that this Hu Master only brought three scribes and a few retinues, and there were not too many people. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting didn't know whether to be happy or uncomfortable, these people didn't even have a guard.

Ignoring Chen Xiaoting's indignation, he only listened to Zhou Wenzhu and said: "This action is very important, and this official has decided to transfer the elite forces in the hundred households to be led by you!" ”

"Don't let this official and Senhe-sama down!"

Hearing this last sentence, Chen Xiaoting knew that he had no possibility of refusing, because he couldn't let Shen Qianhu in Luyang City mean.

You must know that although he Chen Xiaoting can have today, although it is inseparable from his own efforts, Shen Yue's appreciation of him is more important.

After tidying up his sleeves, Chen Xiaoting saluted Zhou Wenzhu and said, "I will go all out and live up to the trust of my lord!" ”

Zhou Wenzhu motioned for Chen Xiaoting to get up, and then said to him: "There is a list on the table, you can call people according to the above, several chief flag officials have said hello!"

Chen Xiaoting took two steps forward and picked up the list on the table, and saw that it was full of young people's names.

There are a total of nine people, only one of whom Chen Xiaoting doesn't know, and the others are either Chen Xiaoting's subordinates or his friends.

At this time, I only heard Zhou Wenzhu say: "There are nearly forty people in your group, and there are fifty horses in our hundred households, and this official allocates forty horses to you......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Wenzhu said solemnly: "In front of those people in the guard, you can't lose the momentum of our brocade guard, can you remember?" ”

So am I the one who protects the military department, or am I going to set up a show for the brocade guards? Chen Xiaoting said in his stomach.

I only heard him reply: "Your Excellency, rest assured, your humble position will not live up to your great trust!" ”

Zhou Wenzhu nodded, and said: "Okay, you also go and prepare, set off after eating at noon, and wait at the post station in the north of Dongxiang County, where will that Lord Hu meet you!" ”

actually wanted to run so far, after a short period of surprise, Chen Xiaoting immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will go and order all the people immediately!" ”

Zhou Wenzhu nodded, and said, "Remember, although this Master Hu came in secret, you still have to beware of thieves!"

After Chen Xiaoting saluted Zhou Wenzhu, he quickly turned around and left, and he still had a lot of things to do before leaving.

And after he left, Zhou Wenzhu put down his embroidered spring knife and looked out of the door in a daze.

After a long time, I heard Zhou Wenzhu sigh and say: "I don't know how many people and things will be involved when this Lord Hu comes to Guangde, there are a lot of pickled things in the guard!" ”

Although I know that there are many problems in the guards, the Jinyi guards generally do not directly inquire about the affairs of the army, or they are not the ones that the hundred yamen can ask.

It was an unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty to control military force with civilians, and the emperor would not be able to give Jinyiwei more power in military affairs if he used factory guards to balance the civilian group.

Now that the emperor has secretly sent someone to check the guards, it shows that some problems have been found.

So, that Lord Hu was not so safe, especially after the inventory began.

Besides, Chen Xiaoting's side, after taking the list and counting the manpower, Chen Xiaoting asked them to eat in the yamen.

All of them were fully armed, and they were ready to move after eating.

Qu Zhenghao stood in his lobby and sighed to the visiting Xu Chengwang: "Chen Xiaoqi is still young, and he has to be relied on by hundreds of adults!" ”

Xu Chengwang was about to say something, but he heard the sound of dense horses' hooves outside, so he said, "They have already set off!" ”

Qu Zhenghao also knew the inside story, so he said: "This errand is a bit tricky, this time it's enough for him to worry about!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Chengwang disagreed.

The errand is tricky, but it is not a springboard, and the benefits of doing the errand assigned by the thousands of households are also eye-catching.

It's a pity that the two of them were promoted, and these errands couldn't be their turn.
