In the room, the young man on the Huanghuali hardwood bed opened his eyes and slowly got up.

"This is? Brother Wang's house, I remember that I seemed to be still on the road, how did I get here, how my body hurts. The young man lying on the bed was Li Hong, who was carried by the old way.

Li Hong sat up and got out of bed with his waist up, shook his limbs, moved his muscles and bones, changed into official clothes and walked out of the house. As he walked, he raised his hand and asked the cuffs: "Freshly washed clothes." ”

At this time, Wang Qianhu was drinking tea at the stone table in the front yard, and saw Li Hong, whose face was pale, coming over with a weak foot, and hurriedly got up and won. "Brother Li is unwell and has been in a coma for more than two days, so don't move around yet."

"I slept for more than two days, I remember that I was on the way, preparing to go to the official road, how did I get to you?" Li Hong recounted what happened on the way that day.

"Two days ago, an old Taoist elder sent you here, saying that you fainted from heat stroke." Wang Qianhu said.

Li Hongshi stood up abruptly on the bench, his legs were weak and trembling, and he sat down again, "That's the old way." Li Hong thought back to what happened that day, the watermelon was obviously smashed in his face, and the old farmer saw Jinyiwei pulling out a knife, and seemed afraid to explain quickly, but in fact, he was not in a hurry to say that it was reasonable and well-founded, how could he be an ordinary farmer.

By the way, I seem to have fainted, I saw the East Gate Tower of the Imperial City, and I saw the old Taoist smiling at me, it can't be an illusion, this stinky Taoist priest should be killed.

At this time, the porridge shed on the street in the imperial city, "You are always called Hanako, how can you vomit my master when you drink porridge?" Look, sir, I'm not going to kill you today, it's called Hanako. The old man told Hanako to throw down the copper coin, and ran away with a smoke under his feet, and stopped in an alley where no one was around.

"Didn't Lao Dao go out today and read the yellow calendar? I sneezed inexplicably when I drank porridge just now, could it be that who was thinking about this old way in their hearts? It's a pity, the half bowl of white porridge that I didn't finish drinking. This spit person is full of porridge, and it is recognized as the famous "Shenxuzi Zhenren" in the cultivation world.

At Wang Qianhu's house, Li Hong didn't eat for two days, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable, so he only drank some white porridge and went to rest again. Wang Qianhu changed into civilian clothes and went to the general manager of Wang Gong's factory, Zhao Gonggong's mansion.

Under the acquiescence of the Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the eunuch Si Li Bingbi Wei Zhongxian The battle of the Donglin Party has never stopped, the Donglin Party is composed of civil officials and doctors, and they are more important than morality, upright, do not know how to be flexible, and talk on paper in their spare time.

Liu Changyou, the commander of Jinyiwei, has a weak personality and acts as a good man in the Donglin party struggle, no one in the two factions can be offended, and everything is handed over to his subordinates to do, second only to the commander of the commander.

One is Wang Xin, a native of Shaoxing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, who read four books and five classics when he was a teenager, and the hereditary Jinyi Wei should be a righteous person, and unremittingly join the eunuch party of Wei Zhongxian, and get close to the Donglin party.

One is Li Layer, a person from Shuntianfu, who has been mixed with his father since he was a child, and is a big prince in the Imperial City, although he is a bastard, he is also familiar with the art of war, good at using people to communicate, and has risen step by step to command Tongzhi from the third grade, Li Layer's youngest son worships Wei Zhongxian's godson Li Jin as his godfather.

The commander knows the two of them, causing the inner part of the Jinyi Guard to fall apart, and both of them want to further inherit the position of the commander and reach above 10,000 people under one person.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was afraid that Jinyiwei would collude with officials to commit favoritism, so he decided during the Hongwu period, "Jinyiwei is not allowed to interact with eunuchs and civil ministers, and violators will be executed." "But time has worn everything down, more than two hundred years have passed, and the emperor who is now in power does not necessarily remember.

This Wang Qianhu is neither Wang Xin's person nor Li Layer's person, he belongs to being a good man like the commander, drawing a circle in the middle, no one on either side can be offended, and more importantly, Wang Qianhu is in charge of the Jinyiwei archives, with no real power, and both sides regard him as a transparent person.

Wang Qianhu arrived at the house of Zhao's father-in-law.

"Wang Lixin has asked Zhao Gonggong to say goodbye!" This Zhao Gonggong is a celebrity under Wei Zhongxian, otherwise he would not be able to manage the firearms field of the Prince's Mansion.

"Hey, Wang Qianhu can't help it, I'm not on duty in the archives today, how can Xiao Xinzi have time to come to his father-in-law's mansion to sit, could it be that he wants to help Chitose Ye (Wei Zhongxian) do something?" Zhao Gonggong squatted on the tea bowl and said.

Hearing this strange yin and yang tone, Wang Qianhu had goosebumps.

Wang Qianhu stood up and said: "If I go back to my father-in-law, I can't delay the big thing of the Chitose Lord with a reckless man, and my ability is insufficient." Today I want to come to give my brother Li Hong a seat on duty in a certain Wang Gongchang factory, and I hope that Zhao Gonggong will take care of it. Saying that, Wang Qianhu stepped forward, took out an ice jade bracelet from his cuff, and handed it to Zhao Gonggong.

Father-in-law Zhao took it in his hand and played with it, "Xiao Xinzi is out of sight, is this father-in-law such a person?" The corners of his mouth grinned.

"This bracelet was given to me by others, and I, a rough man, can't bury the beautiful jade, and I also borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"Xiao Xinzi will do things, my father-in-law will mention one or two, your brother has cut off some people's financial routes, although it is a dime, but it is also some silver taels, although the nine thousand pairs of thousands of households are one grade lower than you, but they are responsible for the protection of the imperial city, and they have real power in their hands, of course, this has been more than a year, and the officialdom is already uncertain. You let your brother go to Zhang Jiuqian's mansion to meet him, and the mourning family is coming forward to say peace, and this matter is almost over. ”

"Then it's troublesome for Father-in-law Zhao, I'm still on duty, so I won't stay long, and it's not good if I can't find anyone above." After Wang Qianhu and Zhao Gonggong said a few polite words, they returned home.

Another day later, Li Hong woke up.

After Li Hong woke up this time, he practiced Jinyiwei's Xiuchun knife technique in the courtyard without any fatigue, and he was refreshed, and there was a warm feeling in his little belly.

"Seeing that Brother Li's appearance has improved, let's come to the house to have breakfast first, and I'm talking about the transfer." Wang Qianhu came over early in the morning to ask Li Hong to eat, and saw that he was practicing martial arts, waiting on the side without disturbing.

After Li Hong had breakfast, according to Wang Qianhu, although Zhang Jiuqian was greedy for money, he was filial, and his father liked to eat, so Li Hong went to the time-honored pastry shop in the imperial city and bought two good freshly baked pastries for Zhang Jiuqian's father.

Li Hong knocked on the door of Zhang Jiuqian's house, "Is Zhang Qianhu here?" ”

At this time, in Zhang Jiuqian's house, Zhang Jiuqian was sitting and chatting with another Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the housekeeper walked into the house.

"Master, someone outside came to visit, claiming to be Li Hong, who was a hundred households of Jinyi Wei."

"Brother Zhang has something to do here, then I'll go back first, and we'll talk another day." This Jinyi Wei Qianhu is called Gao Xinde, and he is in charge of the security of the inner city of the imperial city.

"No need, brother Gao can go to the back room, these hundred households are not here to report on business, I will send people away, it won't take long." Zhang Jiuqian welcomed Gao Xinde to the back room, and asked the housekeeper to call Li Hong in.

"Li Baihu, what kind of wind blew you here, my temple is small, but I can't accommodate your big Buddha." Zhang Jiuqian sat in the front hall and said.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Lord Li, what you said, we are all our own people, can't we go to the door to enhance our relationship?" Li Hong put the pastry in his hand on the table.

"What does Li Baihu mean by this, I don't dare to accept it, if I accept it today, I will be arrested by you tomorrow and sent to the Warden Division." Zhang Jiuqian's fingers kept tapping on the table.

"Xia Guan was confused for a while last year, he found the wrong case and wronged a good person, and the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, all of them were his own people, and he looked at Zhang Qianhu, and the adults didn't remember the villain." Li Hong bowed and said.

"Yesterday, Gonggong Zhao also came to the official to intercede for you, and the official will forgive you this time, you know better than the official how to go in the future, go back, and tomorrow you will go to the yamen to make another order." Zhang Jiuqian waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Lord Xie, the next official will come to the door to thank you another day." After Li Hong finished speaking, he left Zhang Jiuqian's mansion.

"Brother Zhang, this Li Hong is the one who caught the goods below last year." Gao Xinde walked out of the back room and said.

"It's this person," Zhang Jiuqian said.

"Arrange him to Wang Gong's factory, will it ruin the big things of Chitose Ye and our Lord Li? Why don't we arrange for one of our henchmen to go in? Gao Xinde said worriedly.

"It's okay, this person is more serious and a little tactful, I can't evaluate, but I am content with the status quo, no ambition can not become a big thing, give some small profits can be controlled, and arranging our henchmen may make Wang Xin suspicious." Zhang Jiuqian took a sip of tea.

Then he said, "I think so, now that there is a great drought in the two lakes, where are Chitose Ye's subordinates deducting disaster relief funds, so that the people of the Donglin Party have sued Wan Sui Ye, and Wan Sui Ye asked Jin Yiwei to go and check." ”

"No matter who we send on both sides, there will be disputes, so just let Li Hong go, and by the way, see if he is of the same mind as us."

Gao Xinde touched his neck and said: "This trick is good, Nuo is with us with one heart, when we return to Beijing, we will arrange a place for him, if it is not a heart, don't come back, there are too many accidents on the mountain high road." ”

Li Hong walked on the way back to Wang Qianhu's house, and thought: The eldest husband can bend and stretch, I will go back to the imperial city first, fight with you slowly, and another day, another day to visit, I will use an embroidered spring knife to chop off your corrupt official's head!
