Jiang Dong on the side actually knew the truth for a long time, but the emperor had a decree and couldn't expose it yet, so he didn't bother to listen to them fighting each other. He let the servants behind him watch, turned around and walked out of the door, and came to the side of the Jinyi guard who accompanied Wu Chang, there was a general banner, called Pan Debin.

There was no one else around, so Jiang Dong asked Pan Debin: "Is there any suspicion about this falling into the water?" ”

To the outside, the factory guard is a family. Therefore, Pan Debin did not hide Jiang Dong, and said with a frown: "At that time, the water was indeed a little fast, and there was just another gust of wind. It stands to reason that Wu Xun's fall into the water does not seem to be suspicious. However, although my brothers and I are both northerners and rarely take boats, we feel that the wind and waves do not seem to make the boat so bumpy, so I wonder if the boatman is doing any ghosts, but I didn't find it when I knocked on the side. ”

"Oh, I see?" Jiang Dong responded casually, and then thought about the details, and suddenly raised his head and suggested to Pan Debin, "Or it can be like this, you send someone to touch the bottom of this boatman to see if he has become more generous recently, or if there is any trouble, it will suddenly be gone." If you find that there is something abnormal in the boatman's house suddenly, it is likely that there is something wrong with the boatman, and you can take a look at it! ”

His family used to be a dartman, in other words, a mess. Therefore, Jiang Dong is no stranger to things on the rivers and lakes, and immediately had some ideas.

When Pan Debin heard this, he thought about it for a while, and immediately nodded admiringly: "It's still a stall head with rich experience, this method is good, and I will arrange someone to secretly touch the bottom of the boat family to try it when I go back." ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated slightly, as if he didn't know whether to say it, but for the sake of Jiang Dong's enthusiastic advice, he finally said: "Another point, when the boat was shaking, a brother was at the bow of the boat and saw ......."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wu Changshi's house, then turned back to Jiang Dong and continued: "Seeing that Wu Xunji was caught off guard at first, he really almost fell into the river. But then, he seemed to be steady. At that time, my brother breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Wu Xun fell down again......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and subconsciously lowered his voice and said to Jiang Dong: "Our brother privately guessed, could it be that Wu Xun wanted to fall down?" However, it was so cold that if you fell down, you would be choking on the water even if you could paddle. No, it's all sick like this. So looking back, it seems unlikely that I fell on purpose. ”

When Jiang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What is this falling cold water, there is a ruthless man over there who planned to assassinate himself, and he also grabbed a dagger and stabbed himself in the thigh. At that time, if you didn't pay attention and pierced the major artery, death was possible.

Thinking like this, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, this Wu Changshi is definitely not a good bird, and he will definitely not be loyal to errands. If you extrapolate from this situation, it seems that it is not impossible for someone to intimidate Wu Changshi, and Wu Changshi took this opportunity to deliberately come to such a place!

Of course, what the truth of the matter is, Jiang Dong actually doesn't worry about it. After gossiping about this side of the matter, I also gave Pan Debin a few suggestions. At this time, I saw Zhang Pu striding out of the room, as if he was a little angry, and walked out by himself.

So, Jiang Dong stopped talking, and immediately confessed and followed.

Back at the post station, Zhang Pu frowned and said to Jiang Dong: "The stall head should have also heard it, Wu Xun has already played the emperor, and he wants to change places to supervise the two things that the emperor explained." Just take this opportunity, the official also rests, and when the emperor's new will arrives, I believe that the fatigue of the journey has been healed, so that you can run errands for the emperor with peace of mind, what do you think? ”

His questioning was actually just telling Jiang Dong what he was going to do next. Because Jiang Dong has no right to let him do this and that, just to protect him. Therefore, Jiang Dong naturally didn't say much.

Then, I saw that Zhang Pu saw that it was still early, so he asked for pen and ink and began to write.

Jiang Dong was a little curious about this, so he walked over and took a look. I found out that he was writing an invitation, as if he was going to hold a poetry party.

Thinking about the identity of this Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, the head of the clear stream, was originally his lair in this Jiangnan, and now that he is back, poetry will be something, and it is something he used to do, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Pu naturally saw Jiang Dong coming over without hesitation, thinking about his identity, although he would not stop himself from doing anything, but after he went back, he could directly report to the emperor. Therefore, he paused not writing, held the pen, looked up at Jiang Dong and explained: "Although the official is resting, of course he will not forget the business." These posts are all friends of the same society when the official was in Jiangnan, and invited them to come over, although it is the beginning of the poetry meeting, in fact, the official wants to tell them about the current predicament of the imperial court, and the corruption of officials must not be done, and those beyond the preferential and exemption limit are actually corruption; And if there is money not to pay, deliberately in arrears, it is even worse in nature, I hope they can help the official to publicize, if someone can wake up, it is the best, otherwise the official is not emotional, according to the law, it is not good! ”

Hearing him say so much, Jiang Dong thought about it and made sense, just as he said that this purpose was really good. Therefore, he complimented and said: "I didn't expect that the adults always remember the things that Your Majesty explained, they are really loyal to the country, and if the emperor knows, he will definitely be happy." ”

"Hehe, there, there!" Zhang Pu listened to it and said modestly, "Since you have received the will, you must have the sincerity to do things, this is what this official should do, it should be, it should be!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Dong couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Then after you received the will, what do you mean by wanting to assassinate through false intentions?" Don't think that the emperor doesn't know, he's watching how you act! ”

While he was thinking in his heart, Zhang Pu began to write invitations again. Don't say it, he can write this character, it's really good, Jiang Dong thinks that he can't write such a good character in his life.

Zhang Pu has been writing for more than an hour, and the invitation is a thick stack.

When he was finally finished, he put the brush on the pen holder, then stood up, and stretched his waist very carefully.

It can be seen that it is really tiring to write so many invitations.

He saw Jiang Dong looking at such a large stack of invitations and was a little surprised, so he smiled and pretended not to care: "No way, this official and his friends founded the Fu Society, and since they made friends with literature, they have many friends, and this is still the ones with those who have the family background of the official eunuchs, as for the others, it has nothing to do with the official's errand this time, and I haven't written invitations." Otherwise, I would really be tired to death. ”

was ordered to go out of Beijing, and for the time being, there were only these Dongchang soldiers around him, and he didn't even have a master, which was really inconvenient. Otherwise, the important people will be written by himself, and the rest can be handed over to the master to do it for him.

After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Dong a little surprised, and he was proud, but he was silent on the surface, and asked people to call Yi Cheng and say, "Send these out as soon as possible for this official." ”

Yi Cheng was also a little surprised to see so many invitations, and hurriedly agreed, and went to beckon his subordinates to come and get these invitations.

When Zhang Pu saw Yi Cheng standing with his hands down, waiting for his further instructions, he explained: "You clean up a yard and come out, the environment is as good as possible, it must be clean and tidy, and tomorrow afternoon, the official will hold a poetry meeting, understand?" ”

After hearing this, Yi Cheng felt the sky, and then said with a little embarrassment: "My lord, can you give a day of grace, the villain must move out of the yard with a good environment, and it must be clean and tidy!" ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, his face sank and he shouted: "If there is a grace period, this poem will be spread, how can there be a courtyard in the post station that can accommodate so many people?" Don't do it yet! ”

Yi Cheng was very helpless when he heard this, so he had to leave as ordered.

As soon as he left, Zhang Pu showed a smile on his face, and said to Jiang Dong who was watching from the side: "No way, this official has a reputation, if the poetry meeting drags on for a long time, those scholars who have not been invited will also flock to it, and there will be a lot of troubles when there are many people." ”

He is still confident in this.

Although he also considered it, now that he was ordered to go out of Beijing to do thankless things, it would definitely have an impact on him. But his reputation is there, and he hasn't started running errands yet! Even if it has an impact, it should be limited! He reckoned that even those who had a lot of opinions about him would definitely come to probe and see how he could do this errand!

The other one, he is the leader of the Restoration Society, and he has a lot of power in his hands. Even from an official point of view, he is a messenger and patrolling the locality, this power is still great enough, and someone will always come to please him.

Jiang Dong didn't think about it so much, seeing that he was so confident, thinking that he was still a Jishi, and it was impossible to be a real learner, so he complimented him with admiration.

After dark, Yi Cheng also took his subordinates and lit torches to clean up a yard that met the requirements. Of course, I didn't dare to stay late, so as not to affect the rest of the Qincha in the post station. I woke up early the next day and started to get busy again, and finally finished my work before noon.

Zhang Pu carried his hands behind his back and personally inspected the courtyard, noncommittal.

However, Jiang Dong couldn't look at it a little, because this courtyard was very different from the place where the literati gathered that he had heard.

Generally speaking, the literati at this time in the Ming Dynasty gathered to either choose a place with the best scenery, travel with beauty, and recite poems; Or, simply in that Fengyue place, good wine and food, accompanied by beautiful women, and the same poetry.

But looking at this courtyard now, there is no scenery at all. As for the beauty, this is a post station, so naturally there can't be one.

Or maybe he saw what Jiang Dong was thinking, Zhang Pu said a little carelessly, seemingly casually: "This poetry club of this official is different from other places, it is really to meet friends with poetry, guide each other, and improve their knowledge." And after all, this official is already a person from the past, maybe he can also point out their experience in the imperial examination, so they won't mind the simplicity here! ”

Jiang Dong heard it at once, what is it to point out to each other and improve their knowledge, in fact, he means that he himself instructs others and improves others' knowledge, right?

Faintly, he could hear Zhang Pu's conceit. Jiang Dong didn't have any feelings about this, after all, he was not a literati.

Sometimes, however, things don't go the way they should.

In the afternoon, the time passed slowly, and Zhang Pu never heard any movement. I was a little anxious, so I called Yicheng and asked, "How many guests are here now?" ”

He thought that those who had a very good relationship, if they came, should come to his courtyard to say hello first; Those who have ordinary friendships, and who do not have official positions, will go to the arranged courtyard and wait for him to go out to meet him.

However, he didn't expect that Yi Cheng replied to him: "No one has been present yet!" ”

"What?" When Zhang Pu heard this, he asked a little silently, "None of them arrived?" ”

"Not a single one!" Yi Cheng didn't know whether to gloat or not, and asked you to urge the yard to be cleaned, but now no one comes, shame, right?

But on the surface, of course, he didn't dare to show it, but immediately replied, "If anyone comes, the villain will immediately report to the adult." ”

Zhang Pu looked up at the sky, and felt that a long time had passed, and there was not much left from the time he set in the invitation.

Thinking like this, he was a little uncalm, and turned his head to look at Jiang Dong, although Jiang Dong didn't have any reaction, he always felt that Jiang Dong's face was a little strange, and he was even more unhappy in his heart.

If Jiang Dong was his servant, it was estimated that he would be trained by him. But Jiang Dong was the head of the Dongchang stall to protect him, and he didn't have the qualifications to be angry, so he had to pretend to be calm and walked back with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Dong looked at his back, looked up at the sky, and then called a subordinate and commanded in a low voice: "You take a few brothers, change into civilian clothes, and go around the way to the post station to see if there is any situation?" ”

No matter what, Zhang Pu's identity is here, it is Qincha; His talent is also undoubted, he is a Jishi. In such a situation, it is impossible not to come alone! There must be something strange in this!

Subsequently, Zhang Pu kept looking at the sky, and he could see that he often listened attentively, but no matter what, he was still disappointed in the end.

The time agreed in the invitation had arrived, but the one who came to his side was the post man, and he came to tell him that the time had come, but no one came to the door.

At this moment, Zhang Pu couldn't hold his breath, and immediately shouted: "Could it be that your subordinates are cheating and cheating, and they didn't send the official's invitations one by one?" ”

"My lord, you have been wronged!" When Yi Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but immediately shouted, "This is an invitation from an adult, the villain's subordinates are just eating with a mouthful, how dare you steal this lazy, this is never!" ”

His answer made Zhang Pu even more angry! Because this answer is not what he wants. Comparatively speaking, he prefers to believe that it is the post man here who is lazy and does not deliver the invitation!
