Chapter 219: The family is in danger

Zhang Jian has always wanted to clear his identity, there is no doubt about this, and even married his daughter Zhang Suwen to a talent like Lu Chongning.

Earlier, the Lu family was also a scholarly family, but the family fell into the middle of the road, and Lu Chongning tried again and again, which made his expectations disappointed.

Now that he has made such a request to Li Mi, it really makes people laugh and cry.

Li Mi also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhuang Master, my Li Mi is just a small inspection, how can he be, how can I give you an official hat?" ”

The inspection is just from the ninth grade, and it has just entered the stream, and if you take a step back, you won't enter the stream, and you can't even be considered an official, so how can you help Zhang Jian seek an official position?

However, Zhang Jian smiled and said: "You have no ability, but you easily got rid of your lowly status, and jumped from a cheap servant like catching fast to a patrol inspection." ”

"Jian Dingyong, the magistrate of Wu County, Chen Heguang, the prefect of Suzhou, Song Zhiwei, the magistrate, Yin Zhang Sun Rope of Yingtianfu, Wang Hongzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Weizhong, the commander Wu Weizhong, and even Qi Chu, who just came back, which one is not familiar with you?"

"Don't you think that the old man doesn't know anything about you, if not, how can the old man let you enter this door!"

Zhang Jian is also straightforward, it is clear that he only talks about interests and not human feelings, but he ignores a problem.

He blamed all this on Li Mi, it was just his wishful thinking, from Li Mi's point of view, the choices Li Mi made at that time were understandable, and Li Mi was just thinking about Zhang Suwen and Zhang Huangting, not arguing on this issue.

This Zhang Jian is not only a matter of course, but he even opened his mouth, and Li Mi was a little unbearable.

I thought that the capital of Wulin Kui was some heroic and cool people, but I didn't know that Zhang Jian was as mercenary as a profiteer in the market, and he didn't hide it, which really disappointed Li Mi.

If the martial arts giants are all like Zhang Jian, it is no wonder that the imperial court is reluctant to Zhao'an, and Li Mi finally understands why Qi Jiguang has not incorporated the Zhang family.

After all, the Qi family army was some farmers and strong men recruited by Qi Jiguang earlier, and there was no shortage of martial arts experts among them, and the Zhang family was huge, but I was afraid that Qi Jiguang would also find these people difficult to tame.

Zhang Jian thought that he already knew everything about Li Mi, and what he said was not false, but Li Mi and these people were all gentlemen's friends, and he didn't use these relationships to make profits, so how could he use these relationships to feed Zhang Jian!

"The owner's words are wrong, and it is true that I know these adults, but I am out of the lowly status because I recognized the master as my father-in-law, which is the official position of this inspection, and I am also under the grace of my father-in-law.

Besides, as soon as Zhang Jian opened his mouth, he was a commander, it was an official of the fourth grade, and he was also an officer, if they could be Zhao'an, maybe the imperial court would really grant him such an official position, but let Li Mi inspect from the ninth grade and help him find a commander of the fourth grade, it is simply a fool's dream!

When Li Mi thought of this, an idea inevitably surged in his heart, could it be that this Zhang Jian wanted to use his connections to help him get Zhao'an smoothly?

Sure enough, Zhang Jian seemed to have seen through Li Mi's thoughts, and said to Li Mi: "I know you don't have this ability, I just want these adults to give me a report, my Zhang family wants people to be powerful, this Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou borders, whether it is a wolf or a mountain king, which one is not afraid of my Zhang family?" ”

Li Mi couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Zhang Jian really had such an idea, not to mention that Zhang Jian gave him a bad impression, even if he didn't know anything about Zhang's power, how could he help him as a guarantee?

Li Mi is useless as a guarantor, although Zhang Sunsheng and others appreciate Li Mi, but it is impossible for Li Mi to guarantor for the Zhang family, this officialdom rules dictate, if something happens, the recommenders are sitting together.

Thinking of this, Li Mi shook his head at Zhang Jian and said, "This is beyond the scope of my ability, and I can't agree to it." ”

Zhang Jian may also know that he is a little difficult to be a strong man, or maybe he is just trying to test it with some hope, hearing this, he also sighed, and after a while, he said to Li Mi.

"Even so, the old man is not reluctant, it's just that my son Huang Ting is a talent, both civil and military, and he is really a real material, I want him to follow you and go to your inspection department on an errand, this is okay after all, right?"

Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised, what is going on with this Zhang Jian, Zhang Huangting is now crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, happy and happy, what did he do when he arrived at the Inspection Division?

For example, Li Mi has been inspecting from the ninth grade, and he has five stones per month, if he relied on this job to eat, he would have starved to death, what is the future of doing this?

What is the reason why Zhang Jian is so eager for an official position?

Zhang Huangting must also feel that his father was a little out of order, so he said to Zhang Jian at this time: "The child doesn't want to be an errand, the child just wants to serve his father at home......"

It's just a matter of not saying this, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Jian became angry and said to Zhang Huangting: "Bastard thing!" What are the prospects for staying at home, and what do you know? ”

Zhang Huangting has been silent, but he is so arrogant, he has been aggrieved in front of his father for so long, and now he finally can't help it.

"Father, what's wrong with you! Su Xi is not like this, how come you have become an official fan recently! ”

"Shut up! For the father's intentions, how can you and other juniors know! Although Zhang Jian scolded, his eyes did not hide the desolation and sadness.

Li Mi thought about it carefully, if Zhang Jian blindly looked like this, how could the Zhang family become the leader of the green forest in Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I was afraid that there was something hidden behind him, and it was also deliberate to be so to himself today.

"This matter of seeking officials is not able to be caught, but if the owner of the village has any difficulties, he might as well say it, Huang Ting is not small, and the Zhang family will always rely on him in the future, what can not be carefully separated from him?"

Li Mi persuaded him like this, and Zhang Jian wanted to shout again, but he couldn't speak for a long time with a straight face, and finally sat down dejectedly.

He sighed faintly, and then said to Li Mi and Zhang Huangting.

"How can you juniors understand the hardships, like my Zhang family, mixed in the green forest, although they are quite virtuous among the people, but they are not decent in the end, and even be stained as grass cowards, since they are grass cowards, there are only two ways to return, either to be edicted, or ......"

Although Zhang Jian left half of his words, Li Mi already knew that he would either be Zhao'an or only be exterminated!

The imperial court is reluctant to Zhao'an Zhang's family, but I am afraid that there will only be one way to be exterminated in the future, no wonder he wants to wash his name, no wonder he is willing to let Zhang Huangting be an errand in the inspection department!

Perhaps he had already had this sense of crisis early on, so he let his daughter marry into a declining family like the Lu family.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, the reason why Zhang Jian pretends to be a force is also to protect this family, no one can imagine that the Zhang family, which has a brilliant reputation, already has the hidden danger of extermination.

Zhang Huangting was originally a mischievous character, he has always been carefree and happy, who would have thought that the family had reached a precarious point!

"Father's ......"

Zhang Huangting rarely saw his father like this, Zhang Jian at this time seemed to be old overnight, and the pride of the past was gone, and Zhang Huangting was also sad.

"Huang Ting, my son, my father has been strict with you for the past two years, and I am also afraid that you will get into trouble, this is open and secret, how many people want to watch my Zhang family fall, if we don't keep a low profile, we will suffer a catastrophe, my father also figured it out, in the future, my Zhang descendants must not take this path again, let's start with your generation......"

Li Mi saw the pity in Zhang Jian's eyes, and knew that everything was pretended, and he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Jian said to Li Mi: "Li Inspection, there are many offenses to the right talents, and it is also difficult for a strong man, but the old man's mind is true, let Huang Ting follow you in the future, if my Zhang family really has such a day, the old man hopes that you can pull ......"

Speaking of which, how could Li Mi refuse, at this time he said to Zhang Jian: "It's not easy to hide it from the owner, in the spring of next year, I want to refer to the martial arts, if the owner is willing, I want Huang Ting to take the exam with me, I don't know what the Zhuang idea is?" ”

"Martial arts?" Zhang Jian's eyes also lit up, but they soon dimmed, and he shook his head at Li Mi.

"To participate in the martial arts, you need to be innocent, I had such an idea earlier, but my Zhang family is famous and well-known in Jiangnan, so it can be said that everyone knows it, how can I pass the review?"

Li Mi also thought about this problem, Hangzhou Mansion is Fan Rongkuan's land, and his connections are all in Suzhou and Jinling, and it is not easy to help Zhang Huangting pass the review.

Although the scientific examination system of the Ming Dynasty was popular, the examination was also very strict, and five candidates were required to have their names and joint guarantees, that is to say, five students were a group, mutual guarantee, one person had an accident, and all of them sat together.

Although martial arts is not as popular as the economic examination, and it is more relaxed in comparison, it still has a high threshold.

However, Li Mi had already thought of a countermeasure, and said to Zhang Jian at this time: "Don't worry, if Huang Ting is willing to refer to it, and the review is simple, I can vouch for him, but he must move his household registration to Suzhou." ”

"Moving to Suzhou?"

"Exactly, as long as he moves to Suzhou, I can vouch for him, Huang Ting's martial arts are better than me, and his reading is better than me, so it should be no problem to take a martial arts exam."

What Li Mi said is not a compliment, Zhang's family has a deep history, Zhang Huangting has been familiar with military books since he was a child, he is skilled in archery and horses, and has actual combat experience, if he participates in martial arts, he has more advantages than Li Mi.

And Li Mi didn't talk nonsense, because in Suzhou Mansion, Chen Heguang and others could guarantee him, and Wang Hongzhi also promised to help him, even if he was famous and commanded Shi Shiyong, he was also willing to help Li Mi.

Hengzhi wants to guarantee Li Mi, and what is the difficulty of adding a Zhang Huangting.

Zhang Jian heard Li Mi say this, and his heart was also hot, if he could really be admitted to the martial arts, it would really be completely whitewashed!

But the question is, how did Zhang Huangting move to Suzhou?

Facing Zhang Jian, who was full of worry, Li Mi couldn't help but turn his eyes to Lu Chongning!

Although Lu Chongning has failed many attempts, he is a talent in the end, although his family has fallen, but in the end, the dead camel is bigger than the horse, if you say that other aspects may not be able to do anything, but when it comes to the way to the exam, his family still has it!

Lu Chongning also understood, thought seriously for a moment at this time, and then said to Zhang Jian: "This matter will be handed over to the son-in-law, old Taishan and relax." ”

When Zhang Jian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said that his daughter married Lu Chongning, although it was late, but after all, there was still some return.
