[Continue to ask for tickets, it's not too late today, and I have to fight again tomorrow]

The sun after the rain hung high in the sky early, which was a rare sunny weather in these two days, but there were more floating clouds to cover it from time to time, and it was suitable for a long journey.

The return date set by his brother-in-law Jian Shouzhi at the beginning, he finally persuaded his sister Ruoxi two days ago, and temporarily coaxed his mother, and when he left, he only set a sentence for Xiao - guard the door.

The things on the cabinet are lined with the big cabinet, and after these days of observation, he is gradually relieved.

The Wang family plus the servants and maids of the Jian family are more than 20 people, plus the carriages and horses and the etiquette of purchasing, it can be regarded as a mighty team.

Out of the Rouyuan Gate, there was already a team of people waiting outside the city. When Wang Xingping saw it, he turned over and came down on his horse, and gave a salute, "The fourth brother has arrived early." ”

Yang Gan'er, who was thin and tall next to him, smiled first: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Xiucai's figure is good." ”

Wang Xingping said strangely: "When they all arrived in Guiyang, the brothers didn't come to the city to let the younger brother do his best to be a landlord, but they were divided." ”

Liao Si laughed joggingly next to him, "There is no fresh fish lane next to Hualong Bridge. ”

Fresh Fish Lane is a place outside the north chamber of Guiyang City, next to Hualong Bridge, and is mostly a brothel. Because both ends of the alley are full of merchants from Guangzhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Zhejiang, so it has long been famous, but there is no in the city, and the official and private brothels of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to open within the city walls, after all, there is an obstacle to weathering, but the soldiers and men have one less reason to enter the city, it is better to be happy outside the city, and there is no curfew.

Among the crowd, Wang Zhongde was the only one with a steady expression, and with a smile, he raised the hand holding the reins and arched, "Fifth brother, don't come unharmed." ”

"Thanks to my brother's blessing, I am still at ease, and I want to congratulate my brother on his ascension."

"I'm just naked." But he couldn't hide his joy in his words.

Wang Zhongde's merits, after being divided by officials at all levels, are still enough for him to work for many years, and the merit reported is clearly promoted to deputy thousand households, directly skipping the two levels of trying 100 households and 100 households. In addition, the general manager will also be replaced by a thousand presidents, but because of the problem of qualifications, the word foreign commission has to be added in front of the thousand presidents, which is not a positive amount, but this is already considered exceptional.

Another incidental thing is that I heard that Qian Zhongxuan was going to be transferred to Xintianwei, of course, he was also promoted, but the chief official of Xifeng was none other than Wang Zhongde.

Now is a rare leisure situation, the document of reporting merit has to be submitted to the Ministry of War through Guiyang Wei, this back and forth is a few months, the staff department is a good match, and the past years of pasting yellow, the selection book, which will delay a lot of time.

As long as there is no problem with the compatibility of the military selection department, the selection and promotion of the military department should still follow the opinions of the local authorities, and it will not be too biased. There is no problem with Wang Zhongde's resume, the day before yesterday he went to the mansion to submit the map and confession, and the approval of the Ministry of War must be compared with the selection book of the cabinet, and the step-by-step process will be followed, and the appointment of the chief officer of the Fengshou Office will basically not change.

There are only one reward and there are still variables, and the beheading silver issued this time is only a reward issued by the government, that is, the local reward according to the level of the imperial court's meritorious service.

However, in the past few days, Zhang Futai is on the rise, Wang Zhongde said that he just heard the rumors, that is, on the third day of the first month of March, Huguang Baojingzhou Xuanfu envoy Peng Xiangqian, Sichuan Youyang Xuanfu envoy Ran Yuelong, etc., because of the interception of the red seedlings to fight for merit, and Guizhou Yi Meidong Tusi Yang Guangdou in Youxi Pingchashui estuary had a provocative fight, although Yang Guangdou was meritorious in Pingbanzhou, but also a kind of Banzhou Yang, Zhang Heming just took advantage of the Xifeng Pingbanzhou red seedlings to beat Yang Guangdou Haosheng, and sent a chapter to the cabinet together with the document to report the merits.

When Wang Zhongde returned to the palace to do business, he was just in time for Wang Xingping to go out, and several brothers clamored to be happy outside the city, so they did not see each other. However, the news that Wang Zhongde and his entourage came to Guiyang, Wang Xingping finally knew, so he first went to discuss with Wang Zhongde, and then asked Gu Cong's new mansion to ask a few people in Xifeng to go to Chongqing for a business trip, which can be regarded as justifiably allowing Wang Zhongde to travel with Wang Xingping's good life, in fact, it is also a bodyguard for the Wang family and his party, but Wang Xingping and the soldiers of Xifeng are already good, and they gave Ruo Xu credit, so when Wang Xingping asked the fourth brother for help, a few people in Xifeng did not think it was angry, and they were all very happy.

Besides, Gu Congxin was originally kind to Wang Mingde, and now he knows that Ma Jinshi, who is in the second room of his wife's house, accepted Wang Xingping, a student, and at first attacked and destroyed the red seedlings of Nanwang Mountain, because he took care of the Wang family, and he also got a lot of credit afterwards, and he was also praised by Zhang Futai.

…………

Since what happened to Li Laoliu's family, Wang Xingping took more care of him, and invited Lang Zhong to go for treatment, and asked many questions, and he basically knew the situation in the village, but the time had not yet come, so he could only endure it. asked Wang Xiaoliu to visit once, but he asked a lot of information from Li Laoliuhun's family and son, but he also had scruples in his words.

The Gu family knew that they were at a loss, and digging people's graves was a serious crime, so Gu Fengming tried his best to appease them. In the matter of the tenant field, the Gu family has always eaten meat, and the tenants drank soup, and only the Wang family suffered, but the Li family's soup inevitably drank a little less on weekdays, and in fact, it did not fall into any benefits, but took a share of the debt.

After this incident, the Gu family promised the Li family a lot of benefits in matters such as profit sharing, and the seedling money owed on credit was also waived.

At first, Li Lao Liu was hesitant, after all, the ancestral grave was dug up, and no one could easily swallow this breath, but Wang Xingping still asked Ye Xiaowu to bring a message to the Li family, and Xiao Wu spoke and rushed.

"If the Gu family owes you, why shouldn't you go down? If you suffer a loss, you must always get the cheap back, or you will suffer a loss in vain. ”

Although this is not a good thing to say, it is full of truth, and Ye Xiaowu's words are tough, and Li Laoliu, who is used to being honest, can only listen to teaching, not to mention that for his tenants, the Gu family gave an additional ten taels of silver after exempting the seedling money, which is also a lot of money.

The dead are like the living, and besides, there is no such thing as destroying the grave in any year, as long as the current one is not caught, when has the court been down. said it was a felony, but the cemetery of the official eunuch of the palace was stolen and dug less? Under the persuasion of Li Lao Liuhun's family, the old farmer finally accepted his fate.

And in Gu Fengming's ears, finding Ye Xiaowu's stunned head to spread the word is a clear proof that Wang Xingping is helpless, after all, there is no evidence, and now that the Li family has been given a combination of grace and power, it will not be so easy for the owner to make up his mind among the tenants in the future.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I came to the counter as usual to order it, and the business gradually increased after the Qingming Festival, and there were more things on the counter. The big cabinet and the second cabinet are gathered in one place, and they are waiting for the owner to come over, and the two of them have long been used to it these days.

I saw Zhang Changgeng running in a hurry, and sure enough, it was as Gu Fengming expected at first.

The proprietor is going far away.

Is it really packed up? Not necessarily......

After resting for a while on a wicker chair in his backyard in the afternoon, Gu Erzhou immediately discovered the problematic joint.

When the nephew He entered, he didn't talk nonsense.

"I said that I was sending my sister back to Chongqing, and most of them still wanted to go to Banzhou."

Then He Jin was very arrogant, "Just go, don't care what he does." ”

"Confused...... There is still a lot of land in Banzhou, not to mention that this young master's city is not shallow, so he must be cautious in everything. ”

Based on the observation of Wang Xingping during this period of time and the news from all over the place, although he didn't understand that Gu Fengming was aimed at him, but if he continued to develop like this, it was inevitable that he would not have a handle to fall, after all, he moved too many hands and feet on weekdays, and he could hide it from others, and he could hide it from Ye Da Cabinet?

This big cabinet with white temples has always been oil and salt, but he didn't stumble on himself, but he couldn't win him over openly and secretly, and it also made Gu Fengming jealous, in his opinion, Ye Chaofeng is not a loyal elder, but like a yellow finch waiting behind the praying mantis, but I am afraid that Ye Yiwei remembers a lot of his mistakes, and Ye Yiwei's handle has never been exposed.

"So how do we do it? I won't follow him to Banzhou, and I can't get into the people around me. ”

"This matter is simple, I also heard that this old club's matter involves Cui Ba, the tooth man of Banzhou, if it weren't for the fact that he leaked the news, there would not have been many things later, but I don't know if it's just a coincidence or another reason at this time."

"What does my uncle want me to do?"

Gu Fengming didn't hurry to talk first, and took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve, both of which were in good condition.

"I want your father to help me write a letter, you personally send the letter to Banzhou Cui Ba, these silver taels are entangled on the road, you tell your father, after the matter is completed, I still have a lot of thanks here, this time Bai Ma Tong's matter, how much silver money he was implicated, I will make up for him, if everything goes well, there is also a head."

"As for the contents of this letter......
