Chapter 218: With Your Talents
Jin Yiwei, commander, Hou Shigui!
Seeing these big characters, Zhang Li still didn't believe it, took the token and thought about it carefully for a while, but didn't find any flaws, so he returned the token to Hou Shigui:
"Your Excellency, do you know that pretending to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard is a big crime?"
"Yes, don't blindly believe because of a token, you are a person who does great things.
However, this official has to remind you that this official came to He'an County this time under the orders of His Majesty, if you dare to reveal the identity of this official, don't talk about you, even those people you revealed to will die! ”
Hou Shigui did not prove his identity to him, but began to warn him:
"What's more, the official has made countless enemies in Beijing, and although the official was friendly with the official before, after the official became the commander, he also stumbled the official everywhere.
Instead of expecting someone to take care of you, you have to watch out for someone trying to harm you.
But if something big happens, the official will protect you.
It's just that you need to remember one thing, it is not Your Majesty who recommended you, not Da Chu, not the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
It's me, the Marquis of Xiling, how about it? Would you like to go to the Ministry of Officials? With your talents, and with me behind your back, those fat-headed idiots are no match for you. ”
Hearing Hou Shigui say such a lot of words, the doubts in Zhang Li's heart have disappeared a lot.
Instead, he became more and more afraid.
This Hou Shigui really forced me to be loyal to him!
Not to Your Majesty, not to Da Chu, not to the people of the world, but to him Hou Shigui!
He is a commander of the Jinyi guard, why should he install people in the ministry?
Why allow yourself to be loyal only to him? What does he want to do?
If you are truly loyal to him, you will receive some benefits.
But as he said, in Chujing, he is a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats him.
I was recommended by him, and my situation was afraid that it would be very difficult.
And if he does something unspeakable in the future, he will also be implicated.
Is it worth risking one's life for a mere position as the head of a ministry?
Worth!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhang Li made a decision in his heart.
I don't want to live the hard days of the past!
Instead of eating and waiting to die, starving to death on the streets one day, it is better to fight for his life!
is also decisive, this chapter is also decisive, and immediately knelt down on one knee at Hou Shigui and said:
"Li, I've seen the lord!"
Hou Shigui bowed his hand and said:
"They all call me son, you also call me son, later I will send a flying pigeon back to Beijing to help you arrange everything, your father is to send someone to check, and the result of the search is the same as what I said in the court.
After you finish your family, go to work in the ministry. ”
With that, Hou Shigui got up and left.
Zhang Li looked at his distant back, and his heart turned over and over, and he was inexplicably excited.
Chu Jing, officialdom, I'm here!
After Hou Shigui and Zhang Li returned to the banquet, they seemed to be fine, and it was not until the banquet was over that Zhang brought Hou Shigui into the side room:
"Who is Chen Gongzi looking for? And with Chen Gongzi's financial resources and manpower, how can he need the help of those stinky people? ”
Hou Shigui smiled slightly and replied:
"Master Zhang laughed, the beggar gang is all over the world, if you are well-informed, if the beggar gang is called the second, I am afraid that no one in the world dares to call the first.
The person I want to find, Hall Master Zhang also recognizes, and one of them is the Hall Master's helper, named Chen Jin.
There is another person, it is Cao Yilang, the guard of He'an County. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Li deliberately put on a look of embarrassment:
"Then Chen Jin is easy to do, as long as Gongzi wants to see him, I will immediately ask people to find him to see Gongzi.
It's just this Cao Ichiro......"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, knocked Hou Shigui with his eyes, and saw that Hou Shigui was still sitting on the ground and looking at himself, as if he didn't understand what he meant, so he had to say:
"Childe also said that this Cao Yilang is the county guard, a person from the government.
Whether our gang has food or not, it depends on the faces of the servants under him, and the son asked me to find him, but this is a bit difficult for a strong man.
Although 20,000 taels is a lot, but for these 20,000 taels annoyed the local government, is it not worth it? ”
Zhang Cai is starting to slaughter fat sheep.
In his mind, that Chen Jin is a rough man with no courage, what is this Chen Ling looking for him to do?
It's just an inconsequential little person.
Chen Ling really wants to find it, I'm afraid that this He'an County guards and catches Lang Cao Yilang.
That's why he happily agreed to Chen Jin's matter, after all, he had received 20,000 taels of silver from others, so he had to say no?
As for Cao Yilang, he had to scam another 20,000 taels from him!
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Hou Shigui frowned and thought hard.
Even his appearance was a little angry:
"This is a bit embarrassing, then Cao Yilang has a lot to do, Master Zhang, you should help the next gang, how about owing you a favor below?"
Zhang Cai didn't eat his set:
"Chen Gongzi, it's not that the old man doesn't want to help you, but the beggar gang also has the rules of the beggar gang.
If I do what you say, the beggars don't have to mix up in He'an County.
So many mouths have no food, and it's because of me, I can't help but keep them?
20,000 taels of silver, to be honest, really can't support so many people. ”
It's all said and done, and I don't believe you don't understand.
Sure enough, the embarrassed expression on Hou Shigui's face became heavier:
"Let me think about it, bring that Chen Jin first."
Zhang Cai also knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry.
After all, it was tens of thousands of taels of silver, not a few pennies, so he smiled and said:
"It's easy to say, Gongzi gave me an address, and tomorrow morning, I will keep it and ask Chen Jin to stand honestly in front of Gongzi!"
After Hou Shigui gave the address to Zhang Cai, he couldn't help but curse in his heart:
"You old man is really insatiable, and you still want to take 20,000 taels of silver after giving you? I'm not afraid to die!
Fortunately, Chen Jin is the person I want to find, as for Cao Yilang? Who's that coming? The official has never seen him, whether he can find him or not, what is the matter with the official? ”
After politely sending Hou Shigui out of the house, Zhang Cai had just returned to the hall when he saw Zhang Li hurriedly coming over:
"Father, you and that ...... So what did Chen Linggongzi talk about? ”
That person is Hou Shigui! It's not a good thing to talk to your father in private.
Zhang Cai waved his hand and said:
"You don't have to ask about these things, it's rare for you to come back, so stay longer, and accompany your grandmother and your mother, yes, I have asked people to clean up the villa where you and your mother lived before, and you can move in."
After speaking, Zhang Cai thought about it and sighed again:
"Alas, what happened more than ten years ago was done wrong for the father, but you also know what your mother did! Don't blame the father. ”
Zhang Cai had never understood why he was not treated well by his father.
Why did my father send him out of He'an County when he was only a few years old?
