Following.

Han Zanzhou got up early, this is a habit he developed in the palace, in the palace, the little eunuch has to wait for the big eunuch, and the big eunuch has to wait for the emperor, can he not do it early?

This is a river-view room, the shopkeeper is very intimate, knowing that he and Zuo Wencan are distinguished guests, they are arranged to be rooms by the window, there is a long corridor outside, and the river view can be seen inside and outside the house.

Looking out of the house, you can see the snow on both sides of the Nanxi River.

To the east is the Nanxi River Wharf, and the water near the wharf is full of sailboats of all sizes, which are impermeable.

The river has not yet frozen, and occasionally one or two sailboats can be seen sailing by, and a small tail of Xishan to the south can be faintly seen in the distance.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, the original wax elephant.

The ice crystals everywhere are clean, but it is refreshing.

It's just that it's really cold.

Han Zan was dressed in a fox fur and light fur, and he also felt cold and biting.

Han Zanzhou stood by the railing, just greedy for the beautiful scenery of ice crystals and jade on both sides of the Nanxi River, and after a while, his hands stiffened, and his feet were numb from the cold.

Han Zanzhou started his morning exercise, he saw Yang Bo on the boat before practicing the knife, he always had to kick and kick, bend over, on a whim today, he actually did the same, and did it, the action was a little weird, but the effect was not bad, and suddenly the blood around his body came alive, and there was heat on his body.

There was movement in the next room, and probably Zuo Wencan also got up.

Zuo Wencan is just a pedantic and stereotypical literati, at a glance, he knows that he has been infected in the big dye vat of the Ming officialdom, and he has a habit and a little small heart.

It is rumored that Zuo Wencan, who has been an official for more than ten years, has never taken a concubine, only has a married wife, although he is also greedy for money, but the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, who is not greedy? In contrast, Zuo Wencan's official reputation is not bad.

However, through getting along in the past two days, especially last night, he and Zuo Wencan had tea in the private room, Han Zanzhou found that Zuo Wencan's eyes were wrong, the two little maids who served tea were a little beautiful, Zuo Wencan was obviously moved, but because Han Zanzhou was also at the scene, he didn't dare to mess around.

What Han Zanzhou didn't know was that Zuo Wencan had been disheartened for a while since he was dismissed, and he actually made a big fuss at Feng Yawen, who had respected him for many years, and the angry Feng Yawen ran away from home, but gave him the opportunity to find fun again in Yahuan Cui'er.

Although Cui'er's appearance is mediocre, she is better than her youth, and the taste is really wonderful, which also makes him realize that it is really not worth treating himself so hard in the past, but now he is full of lust and completely let himself go.

Flattering and bullying, greedy for money and lustful, this is Zuo Wencan's nature.

Han Zanzhou shook his head and sighed, Han Zanzhou has seen a lot of this kind of person, so it can be seen that the rumors are not true.

The emperor transferred him to Shenjiabao to serve as the city's secretary of the city, because he had been an official in Haizhou for many years and was familiar with the local customs, but Yang Bo was a casual person, everything was a casual look, but his ability was amazing, and he was known as the magic boy of the god of fire.

These two people are needle-to-needle, and they are incompatible in all aspects.

Han Zanzhou couldn't help frowning, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, I'm afraid this trip won't go too well.

Zuo Wencan doesn't think that Yang Bo is a god of fire descending to earth, the disaster star is almost the same, in his opinion, he fell into such a field today, it is due to Yang Bo, and he has long hated Yang Bo.

Shen Jiabao is just a small place, what kind of city is he going to do, this is still the result of his father-in-law Feng Wanli running a lot of money, where is it better than being a governor in Haizhou, not to mention that he waited for five years, originally thought that there was a chance to be promoted, but Yang Bo was ruined.

"Father-in-law Han..."Zuo Wencan pushed the door out, and saw Han Zanzhou doing some strange movements, and shouted anxiously.

Han Zanzhou is from the palace, although he is a eunuch, he is also a person around the emperor, but he can't be lazy, Zuo Wencan made up his mind to get up early last night, but he still fell behind Han Zanzhou, which made Zuo Wencan annoyed.

Han Zanzhou stopped with his hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Mo Daojun is early, and there are even more early pedestrians." ”

"The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is anchored in the Dongwu Wanli boat." Zuo Wencan accompanied him carefully, and hurriedly echoed.

In the direction of the dock, there was a faint sound of shouting, Han Zanzhou turned his head to look, but saw a team of soldiers lined up neatly, carrying muskets on their shoulders, and rushed forward in a hurry.

Han Zanzhou didn't care, it was no secret that Yang Bo was diligent in military training, not only did he practice every morning, but his own personal team also practiced all day long, he had seen it.

"Let's go, go downstairs and have some breakfast, Shenjiabao, especially the stone temple, it's worth a look, after breakfast, let's take you to find Yang Bo, by the way, take a walk around, take a look, hehe.."

The two went downstairs and walked to the corner of the first floor, where they saw the shopkeeper coming up.

"Two adults, it's a coincidence, the old man is going to look for you two." The shopkeeper said urgently.

Zuo Wencan said unhappily: "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" ”

The shopkeeper had already approached and whispered: "The old man heard the news that the red-haired warship was coming, and Shenjiabao was about to implement first-level combat readiness..."

"Where's the red hair? Dutch? Han Zanzhou was taken aback and asked urgently.

"Probably, the old man doesn't know about it, and the two adults don't need to care too much, don't worry about going to breakfast, but if you go out, it's just a little inconvenient, and the old man has to rush to inform others and see you back."

The shopkeeper replied and left in a hurry.

Han Zanzhou looked slightly uneasy, but breakfast was to be eaten after all.

The two came to the private room, Zuo Wencan found that the two little girls yesterday were gone, but it was another little maid who served them in the private room, the little maid was quite tall and slender, but when he turned around, he was startled by Zuo Wencan, not to mention the pockmarked face, and there was a crimson mark the size of a copper coin on his face, Zuo Wencan seemed to have eaten a fly, so don't turn around.

The pock-faced little maid's face is not good, but her hands and feet are sharp, and she sends it early, one Fluttershy for each item, not much, but there are a lot of colors, placed in the center of Fluttershy, like a flower.

Zuo Wencan finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Where did those two little maids go yesterday?" ”

"My lord mean Chunyan and Chunmei?" The pock-faced little maid responded, her voice was very light and crisp, "They went to help people handle the marriage, and the slave family was temporarily drawn by the shopkeeper to wait for the two masters." ”

"Today is not talking about first-level combat readiness, who will hold the wedding?" Han Zan Zhou Qi said.

"It's Ge Sibao, the steward of the billiards hall, and the woman is from the stone temple, it is said that Yang Gongzi himself is the matchmaker, if it weren't for the war today, Gongzi would have been there."

"Hmph.." Zuo Wencan snorted stupidly.

If you don't have a beautiful meal to accompany your meal, let's eat more snacks.

"Father-in-law Han, the lower officials heard that the red-haired boats are strong and fierce, and they are really fierce, and there have been many attacks in Fujian and Guangdong over the years, and the imperial court sailors have no way to take them, and the lower officials think..."

"That's true, Hongmao Fan has long been famous, but, in Shenjiabao, our family is not afraid, Yang Bo may really have a way, he captured one single-handedly, but our family saw it with their own eyes."

Han Zanzhou glanced at Zuo Wencan, and said, "Brother Wencan, let's call him by his name, so that it looks close." ”

"This... Okay, Brother Xiangwen is really approachable. Zuo Wencan lost no time in flattering and said: "I see that Yang Bo's son is young and his behavior seems to be frivolous, which is really uneasy, Brother Xiangwen might as well rush to Nanjing first, and temporarily leave Shenjiabao, the place of right and wrong, and others are not easy to say." ”

Who's behind no one's back? Who doesn't talk about people in front of everyone?

Han Zanzhou heard that Zuo Wencan had a prejudice against Yang Bo, and in addition to being surprised, it also made him unhappy with Zuo Wencan.

Zuo Wencan will still serve in Shenjiabao in the future, and he can't say that he can't rely on Yang Boduo, but this attitude is not good.

Qiu Sizhou was killed by Yang Bo in Meizhen, Zuo Wencan was implicated because of this, and it is normal to have some complaints, but the emperor should be given the post of head of Yang Bo's regiment and allowed him to train in Shenjiabao to protect coastal defense, although it is a little perfunctory, but this is the attitude of the emperor, the past has passed, why should you be obsessed?

"Wen Can, in the future, you and I will both work in Shenjiabao, Shenjiabao is Yang Bo's land, everyone is a grasshopper on the same line, I can't jump on you, and I can't escape him, this strength still has to be made together."

"That's what Brother Xiangwen said." Zuo Wencan said: "Everything is based on the overall situation. ”

Zuo Wencan's appointment to the post of promotion, compared with the governor of Haizhou, it must be difficult to satisfy Zuo Wencan, but after all, the grade has not been reduced, and the post of superintendent Wang Ximing has been wiped clean, leaving only the post of Huai'an prefect, which can be said to have been reduced by several levels.

No wonder people say that people's hearts are not enough for snakes to swallow elephants, and people are difficult to be content.

Han Zanzhou sighed in his heart, he was thinking about getting silver for the emperor, and when he got the silver, he could only talk in front of the emperor, these two people didn't deal with each other from the beginning, if it affected his big event, how could he get it?

Han Zanzhou ran out of breakfast, the little maid hurriedly handed over the hot towel, Han Zanzhou wiped his mouth, lowered his voice and said: "Our family doesn't hide it from Brother Wen Can, if Yang Bo can help the court exterminate Liu Er, the emperor has promised him the position of garrison, but the emperor has an explanation, and he can't make it public until the matter is completed, although the place of Shenjiabao is small, but there is a lot of silver, Brother Wen Can should not underestimate Yang Bo." ”

The garrison is regarded as a military post under the guerrilla general, and it has a record in the military department, and it is a serious ministry in the army.

Zuo Wencan is a civil official from the fifth grade, the Ming generation, the noble and the lowly, the garrison, the grade is uncertain, how can Zuo Wencan be eye-catching?

Han Zanzhou obviously wanted to persuade Zuo Wencan to serve as a promotion here, and it was not without a future.

Zuo Wencan obviously didn't listen, his face still had a look of disdain for Yang Bo, he took the hot towel handed over by the pock-faced little maid, wiped his mouth, and saw Han Zanzhou standing up, so he quickly stood up and asked, "Brother Xiangwen, are you going to see Yang Bo today?" ”

"Of course, the location of the Municipal Department of the City must be implemented, and we can't always live in Deyue Building."

The two of them talked, walked all the way out of Deyue Tower, got into the carriage, and walked on the street, Han Zanzhou felt that the atmosphere was not ordinary, this is Erli Lane, the prosperous place of Shenjiabao, naturally it is a key fortified area, the streets and alleys, there are soldiers who look like people shuttling back and forth, and people are constantly coming forward to check, this is the first-level combat readiness that the shopkeeper said?

Han Zanzhou only saw the men and horses of the first battalion of the garrison under Ji Shun, these horses were not Yang Bo's regular army, and they still had to work on the construction site, and they were only transferred to be responsible for the defense of Shenjiabao in a state of combat readiness.

Two carriages rushed to the stone temple, the atmosphere became more and more tense, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, from time to time to see the patrol with neat steps, click, click, boom, the patrol personnel are all murderous and awe-inspiring, like iron cast bronze sculpture, daunting.

Rao is Zuo Wencan, at this time, he also put away his contempt, but he secretly said in his heart: "This Yang Bo, what do you want to do?" ”

The carriage finally passed through a few checkpoints, this is still for Han Zanzhou's face, Han Zanzhou came to Shenjiabao last time, often came to the stone temple, many officers and soldiers of the pro-army team knew him, otherwise he would not be able to enter a checkpoint.

The two of them waited in front of the stone temple, but in the end it was Mei Xian'er who came out to greet them, "Two adults, my son-in-law is not in the stone temple, he went to the Nanxi River bank fort to check the defense, I'm really sorry." ”

"You are Mei Xian'er?" Zuo Wencan's face was not good, and he asked.

Mei Xian'er was neither humble nor arrogant, she gave a light salute and responded: "Yes, Lord Zuo." ”

"Hmph..."Zuo Wencan's wide robe and big sleeves flicked it, and said angrily: "The shelf is not small, doesn't Yang Bo know..."

"Wen Can, it's useless to talk more, let's rush to the fort." Han Zanzhou interrupted Zuo Wencan, turned around and got into the carriage again.

The carriage gurgled and hurried all the way to the shore defense battery, and was told that Yang Bo had already boarded the ship and went to sea. The fort is on the east side of the wharf, next to the wharf, and the Nanxi River wharf at this time is even more heavily guarded, and groups of soldiers are lined up in a neat queue, all loaded with guns and ammunition, and are shouting the trumpet that shakes the sky.

"Stand upright.. Take a break.."

"Gun on the shoulder .."

"Run in unison..."

The shouting is like thunder, the momentum is like a rainbow, which is very shocking.

Coming and going, seemingly chaotic, in fact, orderly.

Zuo Wencan smacked his tongue secretly and said: "Brother Xiangwen, this set of things that Yang Bo is engaged in is obviously inconsistent with the law of the ancestors, and he is clearly doing another set, he really thinks that Shenjiabao is a place outside the law, it is simply lawless." ”

Zuo Wencan finally saw that in fact, Han Zanzhou didn't do it last time, but his mentor Wang Chengen didn't care, and he had already set the tone of focusing on silver, and he was helpless.

Yang Bo's soldiers are indeed completely different from the guards soldiers, murderous, and have a terrifying majesty, which makes people fearful.

But then again, maybe because of this, Yang Bo boasted that he wanted to help the imperial court exterminate Liu Er of Hongze Lake, otherwise Han Zanzhou wouldn't be able to believe it.

"It's not wrong to strengthen the army, our family just hopes that Yang Bo's nature is good."

Han Zanzhou sighed softly, as if talking to himself.
