It was also when Zhang Zhen was looking at Nanyang Town by the lake to make plans, and at the head of Wanghu Village, there were also people planning against Zhang Zhen.

Under the withered locust tree at the head of the village, a lean man, looking at the dozens of figures in the field, stopped for a long time, nodded and looked far away, and walked into the village slowly.

This person has some backgrounds, his name is Yang Hanlin, who was originally the same as Zhao Qing, who sold houses and land, and called Wanghu Shuangjie, until this autumn Zhao Qing was suppressed when he was lifted.

This Ming Dynasty show, a county only a few in a year, the first order of the show, a village can produce two, that is really a famous thing.

This Yang Hanlin is not the same as Zhao Qing, he also took the exam, failed twice, and was recruited by the local inspection department, so he gave up his studies and became a prisoner with peace of mind.

Just as those masters staged on TV are all shrewd, and the county orders are all read like fools, this Yang Hanlin is also a practical little official.

The duty of the torture room, he had heard about Zhang Zhen's hiring in the Inspection Department yesterday, and he only laughed at it at that time.

And it was this home that stayed overnight, and on the way to the inspection department the next day, he happened to go head to head with Zhang Zhen's team.

It's one thing to hear and see is believing, it's one thing to hear that this person has recruited dozens of tenants, and seeing these more than 80 strong men with his own eyes frightened this Yang official.

Such a group of men, such a fighting spirit, if all the swords are armed, and then they are taken by surprise, their own inspection department will definitely be destroyed, even the hundred households in Nanyang Town are afraid that it will be difficult to preserve.

The more Yang Hanlin looked at it, the more frightened he became, so much so that he didn't even hear Zhao Dali in the oncoming team greet him.

When I returned to Nanyang Town, I didn't need to inquire at all, and I knew from passers-by that the new high-roller was not addicted to the white steamed buns in the morning, and he bought ten stones of white noodles, and he had to be full at noon.

He saw those white noodles and cauldrons with his own eyes, and when he heard this, he was even more shocked, and flew to the inspection department, and it was not easy to say in detail when he saw the inspection of the house, so he casually made up a reason to take a leave, and asked more near Zhang Zhen's shop, and looked back at Lake Village, he wanted to see with his own eyes that the high roller was really full, so he dared to determine what he thought in his heart.

When he got home, he moved a wooden chair and sat in the courtyard to wait, and saw that at noon, those men had not come back, and he smelled the fragrance of rice, and the fragrance of white steamed buns floated into his mouth and nose leisurely, which made him feel refreshed.

After a long time, the sun had passed midday, and the sound of firm footsteps finally came to his ears, and he lay down in the crack of the door to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw the group of men returning with shovels and entering the courtyard diagonally opposite the door.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, he estimated that the high-roller's house was almost open, gritted his teeth, went back to the house, took off a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on his wall, and carefully held it, and called his wife to go out.

He picked up the knocker and knocked on the door three times, and soon a man came out.

It was Xia Zhongyong who came out, Lao Xia looked at the people who came, the man was dressed as a young official in green clothes, and the woman was dressed as an ordinary woman, his heart was sudden, his face was impassive, and he asked politely: "I am the housekeeper in this house, I don't know who you two are?" ”

Yang Hanlin said with a smile: "In the next is also the name of the village, the surname is Yang Hanlin, added as a small official of the inspection department, and lives in the diagonal door, I heard that a high roller came to the village, and specially took a leave of absence in the yamen, and brought a clumsy Jing to congratulate the housewarming, a small gift, not a tribute." ”

People in the government, this is a night owl who comes into the house and has nothing to do! Even if you live diagonally across the door, you can't be unguarded, Xia Zhongyong hurriedly took the calligraphy and painting carefully after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the distinguished guest is here, Lord Yang, wait a minute, I will notify the master to come to greet him!" ”

Yang Hanlin said with a smile: "The housekeeper is polite, this distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, as soon as he greets it, it will be far away, and it will be done with the housekeeper to guide the way." ”

Xia Zhongyong has worked as an errand in the post station, and he knows the details of the little officials best, the more cordial the other party is, the more he feels a chill down his spine, and he smiled at the moment: "What Lord Yang said is that the close proximity of this door can't be far away, Lord Yang, please!" Madame please! ”

In the past few days after Zhang Zhen crossed, he has been sticking to his fattening plan, and the progress is also very smooth, and his weight has increased at a rate of more than one pound per day.

It was also today that I saw the gobbling up of the men in this yard, and I had a great appetite, and I ate two and a half big steamed buns, which is half a catty, more than a catty!

Just as he was burping and admiring his subordinates eating, he heard a knock on the door, and after hearing the voice, he soon saw Xia Zhongyong leading two people in.

As the saying goes, 'Hades is easy to hide, but imps are hard!' ’

Although Zhang Zhen is unhappy, he always wants to see what it means to come.

That's right, the first time he invited an official to dinner, Zhang Zhen prepared steamed buns and pickles in plain water.

As soon as Yang Hanlin came in, the first thing he saw was the scene of the men eating steamed buns around the table of the Eight Immortals, and when he saw half a steamed bun and half a plate of pickles on the last table, he knew that this was what the host's family ate.

White steamed buns and polished rice he eats in the yamen, the family is coarse noodles, rice is expensive in the famine year, he doesn't get oil and water, it would be good to be able to keep food, this white steamed bun is pickles, he eats happily.

Zhang Zhen carefully looked at Yang Hanlin's eating appearance, and he didn't fake it at all.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, this is not like a corrupt official! Is it really a friendship? What do you always do when you watch the tenants eat? The topic is always on the tenants, there must be ghosts.

Both sides were false and wronged, after drinking boiled water, Yang Hanlin got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Zhen was also politely sent out of the door.

Not long after Yang Hanlin and his wife returned home, they saw through the crack in the door that no one was outside, they dressed up, walked out of the door, walked out of the village, saw that no one followed, and walked quickly to Nanyang Town.

Xia Zhongyong got down from the roof, entered the house and closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Lord, then Yang Hanlin really went to Nanyang Town, and I went to intercept him?" ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "After all, he is a small official, kill him alone, there will only be more people from the government, at most it is just a situation where the officials force the people to rebel, see how many people he brings!" When there are more people, I get the forklift out, and there are fewer people coming, so it's not bad to stimulate the blood of the brothers, and I can see who is available, right? ”

After Xia Zhongyong heard this, even if his desire to intercept and kill Yang Hanlin was extremely strong, he had to give up.

And Yang Hanlin is different, he believes in his heart that Zhang Zhen is buying people's hearts, and the biggest possibility is that he wants to rebel, and the desire to take this person with archers is really strong, and when the time comes, he will be loyal to the country and not to mention, he will definitely be promoted! That's the real fame and fortune.

Yang Hanlin walked all the way eagerly, afraid that he would leak the news, so he asked the house to retreat from the inspection screen, and then he told his speculation.

The inspector's name is Yang Zhengjun, and Yang Inspector said unwillingly after hearing this: "Hanlin! It's not that I don't want to, the surname Zhang can buy the best location of the store, and buy hundreds of acres of land, there must be oil and water to be scavenged, it's really good that this chasing after the wind and shadows is on others, he is a newcomer, if he takes it rashly, it will inevitably make the ship's business travelers feel cold, who dares to stay at our Nanyang wharf for a long time? ”

Inspector Yang said and said with a smile: "It's just a small landlord, and it's not a hungry person who lacks food and clothing, and he won't rebel if he has a family business, the most important thing is that this person is interested, but he recruited the coolies on the dock, and it is to block those people on Caoyun, and the people on Caoyun are used to acting on our heads, so let's watch the jokes with peace of mind, and see how they come out!" ”
