After being a Beijing official for so many years, Ji Yunfei knew very well that the situation would change with the changes in the current situation, but he didn't expect the change to be so big and so fast, so that the Heying, which was originally used to defend Gyeonggi, was neatly divided between Prince Hui and King Dingjun.

Thinking that Han Si, who had a promising future, had become a nominal battalion official because of this, and the emperor had issued an edict to reprimand Xiang Rong yesterday morning, Ji Yunfei was really in a bad mood, and he sat in the hall for an afternoon, and was about to get up and go home, when there was a commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhongyin walked in with a smile on his face, surrounded by Shopkeeper Wen, Yu Youfu and two soldiers who had never seen him before.

"Brother Yongzhuo, why are you here?" Ji Yunfei subconsciously asked, and looked behind Huang Zhongyin curiously.

"I just received a message, I knew that you were in the guild hall, so I didn't go home and went straight here," Huang Zhongyin smiled, and turned back and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, these two boys met at the door, let's let Lao Yutou introduce you." ”

"Lao Yu, who are these two?"

Yu Tiesuo joined the army, but also went to serve in front of the battle, every time he mentioned this matter before, Yu Youfu always said that a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he has no interest if he doesn't go out, in fact, he doesn't know how worried he is about his son's safety, and now his son is not only back with all his tails, not only is he a foreign commissioner, but he can also be an errand boy in the capital in the future, don't mention how happy he is, and hurriedly smiled: "Master Han, this is my family's third iron lock, this is the fourth master's brother-in-law Zhuzi." ”

The pillar and the iron lock are the same as Han Xiufeng, who is small and begging for a life in the yamen, not only has seen the world but also the monkey spirit, when he was at the door, he heard Xiao Shandong say that Master Ji was inside, and he knelt down and bowed without waiting for Yu Youfu to speak: "Little Ding Zhu to meet Master Ji!" ”

"The small iron lock greets Master Ji, Master Ji is auspicious!"

"It turns out that you are the pillar, it turns out that you are the iron lock, aren't you on an errand under Zhixing, why did you come to the capital?"

"Master Yuji, little one...... The little one is now on an errand under Master Yongxiang, and the capital that just arrived at noon the day before yesterday was incorporated into the patrol camp at noon yesterday. ”

Yu Youfu couldn't help but ask: "Since you arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, why did you come to the guild hall here?" ”

Yu Tiesuo said with a bitter face: "Dad, I would like to come early, but the camp has to abide by the rules of the camp, and we don't dare to come out without the camp officer." ”

Ji Yunfei was taken aback: "Wait, so you are no longer a soldier of the river camp now, and if you don't return to Gu'an in the future, you will be on an errand in the capital?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zi scratched his neck and said with an embarrassed face: "Master Ji, we can't help but listen to the fourth brother's words, but we can't help ourselves on the side of Fucheng." Master Yongxiang said that the imperial court wanted to send people from Heying to the capital, and it was not our turn to make up our minds for such a major event, so we could only ask Master Wang. ”

"Wang Qianli?" Huang Zhongyin sat down and asked with a smile.

"That's right, it's Wang Qianli."

"What did Wang Qianli say?"

"Master Wang said that it was better for us to come than to come, and also said that we and Yongxiang came to the capital on an errand, and the fourth brother not only will not be angry, but will be very happy and relieved."

"Think about it, how good it is to come to the capital on an errand, by the way, which yamen are you two doing on an errand now?"

"The infantry army commands the yamen, I and Tiesuo are in the south camp, Xiaohu is in the middle camp, I heard that the middle camp is quite far from here, and I don't know if they can take leave, I and the iron lock didn't go to them, so we found here while asking for directions."

"The middle camp is stationed in the Old Summer Palace, and it is not close to here." Huang Zhongyin looked at them with a smile and asked again, "Who is Xiaohu?" ”

The pillar was about to speak, Yu Youfu bowed down and said: "Master Huang, Xiaohu is the boy of the head of the Yaguan class in his hometown county, this time with me and Fei Erye from the hometown, except for Jiang Liu, the head of the Sichuan Gang, and the porter monkey of the Sichuan Gang, it seems that Master Yongxiang returned to the capital from Fucheng together. ”

"All in the patrol camp?"

Zhu Zi hurriedly said: "Well, all of them are in the patrol camp, but we are in the south camp, and a few of them are in the middle camp." ”

Thinking that Yu Youfu had said that most of the boys who came from their hometown to defect to Han Si had been mixed in the yamen, and then looking at the official uniforms on their bodies, Huang Zhongyin realized that the errand of the patrol camp really seemed to be tailor-made for them, and couldn't help laughing: "Wang Qianli is right, you should follow Yongxiang to the capital, and only in this way can you rest assured, but this favor is too much." Lao Yu, you can't be ignorant if you don't know anything, you have to thank Yongxiang when you look back. ”

Yu Youfu has been in the capital for so long, how could he not know that there is oil and water on an errand in the patrol camp, so he hurriedly grinned and said: "Master Xie Huang mentioned it, and the little Ming'er went to thank you early in the morning." ”

Huang Zhongyin nodded slightly, and then his face turned correct: "Pillar, iron lock, Master Ji and I are not only your fellow villagers, but also your elders, and I have a few words to tell you ahead." This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not Biba County's hometown, you will do an errand that offends people in the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will bump into the prince and minister in a daze, and if you don't talk about Zhixing at that time, even Master Ji and I can't save you. ”

"Master Xie Huang mentioned, the little ones don't dare to cause trouble, and the little ones will definitely be honest and honest."

"Master Huang, if you put a hundred hearts, we know the severity, and we don't dare to cause trouble for you and Master Ji if we are killed."

"I'm not afraid that you will cause trouble for me, but for your own good." Thinking of the gang of Qiu Ba in the patrol camp for some money, rampage, extortion, and annoyance like those tax collectors in Chongwenmen, Huang Zhongyin was still not very relieved when he thought about it, and raised his head again and said: "Lao Yu, aren't there still a few boys in Zhongying, they won't be able to get out for a while, you have to help Zhixing go and see them, and remind them what kind of place this is by the way!" ”

"Understood," how could Yu Youfu not know Huang Zhongyin's good intentions, thinking about it, he arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, Master Huang, I will keep an eye on them, if they dare to cause trouble, you can ask me." ”

Finally came to a few small fellow villagers, Ji Yunfei didn't want to scare the pillars and they didn't dare to come again in the future, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Brother Yongzhu, they have just entered Beijing, and the first time they come to the hall, let Lao Yu take them around." ”

Huang Zhongyin also realized that it was not good to talk too much, and smiled happily: "Also, Lao Yu, you bring the pillar and the iron lock to go around." Shopkeeper Wen, Lao Yu's father and son are rarely reunited, and Zhixing's brother-in-law is here for the first time, this is a big joy, you look at Zhang Luo. ”

The pillar and the iron lock came to Beijing, and he was on an errand in the patrol camp, and the shopkeeper Wen was the happiest, because the county officials were not as good as the current management, and in the future, with the pillars and iron locks to take care of them, their own business would definitely be better than now, and they hurriedly bowed down and said: "I'll go to Zhangluo!" ”

……

Looking at their backs as they left happily, Ji Yunfei said with emotion: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the descendants of my Chongqing Mansion could also enter the patrol camp and work as an errand in the capital!" ”

"yes, it's hard to believe." Huang Zhongyin couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Yongzhu, you just said that you heard a message, what is the news?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about business," Huang Zhongyin relieved himself, put down his teacup and said with a smile: "To be honest, I've been keeping an eye on the affairs of Heying with my friends in the military department these days, and I finally have news today." The emperor not only sent a second-class guard to the river camp to act as the capital division, but also ordered the military department to go to the river camp from the alternate candidates to serve as a garrison and assist in the garrison, and also ordered Wu Tingdong, who had just acted as an envoy directly under the Shangzhi, to promote the military attache of the current staff of the river camp and the lieutenant colonel of Bingyong, such as the commander general, the general general, the alternate general officer, the foreign commissioner, and the additional foreign commission. ”

Ji Yunfei was confused: "Brother Yongzhuo, is the emperor planning to let Zhixing recruit soldiers and train another batch of soldiers?" ”

"I think the emperor wants Zhixing to train another batch of soldiers, but the training can't be without food."

"Since there is no salary, send so many military attaches to do something, not only do I send several, but I also plan to school a batch!"

"So that's good news." Huang Zhongyin smiled and analyzed unpreparedly: "Actually, we should think the other way around, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's long hair must be suppressed, and the tiger must not be let go back to the mountain, knowing that the Hong bandits sent Zeng Lichang to respond, the imperial court naturally wants to send troops to Shandong to intercept it, but in addition to the Heying Imperial Court, where to transfer troops for a while?" ”

"That's right." Ji Yunfei nodded slightly.

Huang Zhongyin continued: "Besides, it is reasonable to transfer troops from the river camp into the patrol camp, after all, since Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, the long-haired northern criminals, not only have the people in Beijing been panicked and chaotic, and some small people have even taken advantage of the chaos to do wrong, and public security can no longer be left unpunished. In other words, all the soldiers trained in the past few months have been used. The emperor had only heard that he could train soldiers before, but now he really knows that he can train soldiers, and he finally found a capable official who can train soldiers, so how could he abandon it? ”

Ji Yunfei subconsciously asked: "So select a few military attachés to go, and then select a group of military attachés, and set up the shelves that have just been demolished in the river camp first, and when there is money and food in the future, or in the event of war, then let Zhixing recruit soldiers and soldiers, and then train an elite army that can go into battle to kill thieves?" ”

"I guess the emperor should think so." Huang Zhongyin paused, and then said: "Actually, the emperor should have also thought about letting Zhixing lead his troops to Shandong to intercept Changmao, and even thought about transferring Zhixing to Beijing, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply let Zhixing stay in Gu'an." ”

"If you want to say that you lead troops to fight, Zhixing is not that you have never led troops to fight, what is inappropriate?"

"Zhixing has led soldiers, fought battles, and won battles, but Zhixing is only a positive five-grade Tongzhi after all, after all, he has only led more than 1,000 soldiers, if you want to say that Zhixing led the river battalion and Shengbao to Shandong, what is the difference between letting Zhixing be a charging division? And the imperial court now does not lack military attaches who charge into battle, what is lacking is capable officials who can train soldiers. ”

Looking at Ji Yunfei's thoughtful appearance, Huang Zhongyin said again: "If you transfer Zhixing to Beijing, you can't be without a shortage!" If you think about it, there are only a few shortcomings of the five grades in Beijing, so if you really transfer him to Beijing, where can you stuff it? ”

Ji Yunfei reacted suddenly, and couldn't help laughing: "Think about it, it's the fifth grade, it's not big or small, he was born as a donor, Han Zhan Ke said that he can't move, and it's too aggrieved to go to various ministries and institutes to be the head of Langzhong, otherwise let him stay in Gu'an." ”

"So you and I don't need to worry about him anymore, the emperor not only hasn't forgotten him, but even wants to take this opportunity to temper his heart. He is now on this nominal errand, although it is difficult to make contributions, he will not have anything to do, he will stay in Gu'an for a few years, and when he has some qualifications, he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. ”
