CHAPTER XLVII

Following Menzi's footsteps, the two soon arrived at the guest hall in Sun's mansion, and a small servant served refreshments, Menzi smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, please wait a while, my master will come out." ”

Well, I understand, isn't it just a score, if a second-grade official is waiting here for me as a seven-grade sesame official, even if Yang Rong is alive, he has to be called Sven to sweep the floor, I understand, long live understanding.

So Yang Shangjing nodded very understandingly, and began to observe the layout of the guest hall, in order to infer Sun Yuanzhen's background, temperament and other information - when he was studying hotel management, the teacher's first sentence was "service first", so he was bent on making a name for himself in the hotel industry, so he bought a few books on psychology and the like, but he used it at this time.

In the middle of the guest hall is a painting of a pine crane prolonging the year, the inscription on it is a work of the Song Dynasty, maybe it is to keep a low profile, anyway, it is not everyone's handwriting, at least he Yang Shangjing has not heard of it; There are also vases, antiques and other decorations on the shelves, Yang Shangjing looked at it hastily, and called the knowledge of Yang Jian in his original memory, and found that most of these are things from the Mengyuan period, which are not long history, but they are elegant.

As for the royal things of the previous dynasty...... Taking things is a scourge, and even if you have it, you have to hide it yourself in the middle of the night and take it out to play, and whoever commits taboo things will die.

"This man...... I don't dare to say it, but caution is enough, these things alone can reflect the taste and grade of collectors, but they don't seem to be very rich......" Yang Shangjing squinted his eyes and thought, he couldn't guess anything for a while, after all, it was an old fritter in officialdom, if he could be passed through a guest hall by such a small budding person as Yang Shangjing, he would have deduced useful information, and he would have been killed by his political enemies.

Yang Shangjing pondered, he heard footsteps coming from the back hall, he quickly stood up, and saw a spirited old man turn out of the back hall, dressed in a royal blue scribe's shirt, wide robe and big sleeves, looking like the whole person is fairy, just looking at this momentum, you know that this person must be Sun Yuanzhen, the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan.

So Yang Shangjing hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Junior Yang Jian, I have seen the domain. ”

"Hahaha, nephew, please get up, please get up." Sun Yuanzhen is fifty-seven years old this year, and for a pampered second-class officer, it is the year of fighting, so this voice is full of neutrality, striding forward, helping Yang Shangjing up, looking up and down, and said with a smile, "I received a letter from Beijing the day before yesterday, saying that the virtuous grandson of the first Taishi Wenmin is coming to Zhejiang to serve, and the old man is still thinking about what kind of young man he is. ”

Yang Shangjing hurriedly humbled and said that "the domain is falsely praised".

Sun Yuanzhen sat down upright, but Yang Shangjing didn't dare to sit like this, but stood in front of Sun Yuanzhen, his body half bowed, the posture of the younger generation was full of control, the satisfied look in Sun Yuanzhen's eyes flashed, waved his hand, and said: "Sit down, in the early years in Beijing, the first master also had a lot of support for the old man, but I didn't want to, once I went to Henan, I became a farewell to the first master ......."

At the time of Yang Rong's death, Sun Yuanzhen was doing right participation in politics in Henan, so he just sent people to condole, Yang Shangjing heard this, but he didn't talk, just sat on the chair and sat on half of his buttocks.

After a pause, Sun Yuanzhen asked, "I don't know what happened when my nephew came here?" ”

As soon as the words got to the point, it was easy to say, so Yang Shangjing hurriedly stood up and said, "If you have a grievance, state it in person." ”

Sun Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows and didn't signal him to sit down, so Yang Shangjing continued: "When Jian was staying in Nanjing, Xu Shangyong, the third son of the Wei family, was informed that more than 30 salt dings under the jurisdiction of the two Zhejiang capitals had disappeared, and more than 30 sets of armor of Linhaiwei had been stolen......

Hearing this, the surprise on Sun Yuanzhen's face flashed away, but he didn't say anything, just signaled Yang Shangjing to continue, he came to Zhejiang for a year, and all kinds of means of fighting for power and profit have not been half exerted.

And as a soldier from the ministry, he knows everything in the guard better than anyone else, and the theft of thirty sets of armor is not a big deal at all, as long as the account is settled in the end, no one will say much.

So Yang Shangjing continued: "Jian in the city of Nanjing for half a day, then met the interception, in addition to the more than 30 salt ding, there are still nearly 100 bandits and water bandits, fortunately, the third son of Wei Guogong Xu Shangyong and other Nanjing nobles went out of the city to hunt, this was spared, the thieves were killed......

Talking about things under the banner of Wei Guogong, many questions don't need to be explained, Sun Yuanzhen heard this, and instantly understood all the content, including the cause and effect, but he still asked: "The place where the crime occurred is only half a day away from Nanjing City, and the people who broke the siege have the sons of nobles, why did the virtuous nephew come to find the old man, not to find Wei Guogong, Xu Qi and Xu Sima, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department?" ”

Regarding this, Yang Shangjing will not hide anything: "In the city of Nanjing, the civil officials, the nobles, and the eunuchs are divided into three parts of the world, even if the foreign dynasty is combined, they may not be able to eat the eunuchs of Nanjing, but Zhejiang is different, the eunuchs of Zhejiang are all capable of everything, and they are all used to make money......"

After a pause, Yang Shangjing gritted his teeth and continued: "What's more, Xu Qi and Xu Sima were born in Ningxia, and the roots behind him are still too soft, so they may not be able to cooperate with Wei Guogong." ”

Xu Qi is the first Jinshi in Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty, in the feudal court, the township party is a force that cannot be ignored, and it is also a guarantee for whether an official can sit firmly in the seat.

However, a smile appeared on Sun Yuanzhen's face: "No wonder the virtuous nephew dared to take the lead in counterattacking the eunuchs, and he was really thoughtful." ”

Being able to talk to him proves that Yang Shangjing is already his person, and he is given such an excuse, as long as he uses it well, it is not difficult to open up the situation in Zhejiang as quickly as possible.

But he changed his words and asked in a solemn voice: "The virtuous nephew kept saying that he was intercepted and killed by Yanding, and I don't know if there is any evidence in his hand?!" ”

Yang Shangjing breathed a sigh of relief, took out the iron sign from his arms and handed it over, and then said: "Of course there is, there is also the lost armor of Linhaiwei on the car outside the house......
