"Shopkeeper Zhou is in Jinyang, it's not a short time, right?" After some pleasantries, Zhou Chengyun began to guide the topic.

"If you go back to Gongzi, we will move our family to Jinyang during the Wanli period, and it has been almost ten years." Shopkeeper Zhou replied.

"That week, the shopkeeper must know everything about Jinyang?" Zhou Chengyun asked.

"I don't dare to say anything about it, but I can still know a little bit about big and small things." Shopkeeper Zhou replied, he was quite alert, and then asked, "What does Childe want to ask?" ”

"Hmm..."Zhou Chengyun pondered for a moment before speaking, "Last year, in the cold winter, Jiannu entered Kou Gyeonggi, you should know this, right?" ”

"Yes, Childe." Shopkeeper Zhou replied, "Our two adults, the governor and the chief soldier of Jinxi, have also brought people and horses to King Qin. ”

"That's what I'm going to ask," Zhou Chengyun said, "What did King Geng do after he came back?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head and sighed, "Lord Geng is a little unlucky, originally this trip to King Qin, but he made a meritorious service, and the court should be rewarded, but he just caught up with the northern Shaanxi Liukou to the west of Jinxi, and also went down several cities in a row, I heard that the current Shang was angry, and the reward was withdrawn, and he was ordered to pacify the Liukou as soon as possible..."

Zhou Chengyun listened silently, he knew all this, and then Geng Ruqi implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness in the western part of Jinxi, but they were not affected by the two states of southern Jin, there is a salt pond here, and there have always been heavy guards, and the rogue will only go when his head is funny.

This Lord Geng inquired about the news of the Liukou again, mobilized the army, and prepared to destroy it with one blow, but he didn't expect that the Liukou would soon disappear without a trace.

Presumably Geng Ruqi is still worried about not being able to find the rogue at the moment, Zhou Chengyun smiled secretly.

After Shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Chengyun asked, "In your opinion, has Governor Geng had anything recently... Abnormal movement? ”

"Anomalies? Childe, what do you mean by that? ”

Zhou Chengyun lowered his head, organized his words, and then said, "It's just... Let's put it this way, Governor Geng Qinwang is meritorious, what was the original reward of the imperial court for him? Are there any rumors in Jinyang City? After the reward was withdrawn, did Lord Geng have... Run, run, run? ”

"Childe is inquiring about this." Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head, "There may be one in the capital, but I haven't heard of it in Jinyang." ”

There is also a possibility, that is, these rumors are only spread in a small area in Jinyang, with the ability of Zhou's shopkeeper, and he can't inquire about it, Zhou Chengyun secretly sighed, his subordinates, like Chen Li and Chen Qiang by the Yellow River, have a lot of people, but after all, the level is lower, and they can't find out the news of these dignitaries.

"But..."Shopkeeper Zhou paused slightly, "I heard that it was already decided that General Soldier Zhang was leaving, but it was only because of the arrival of the Liukou and the delay in the new Chief Soldier, so he stayed at the request of Lord Geng." ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Chengyun's interest came.

"Not long after returning from the Beijing Division, Zhang Zongbing set up a few tables in the largest Hongyun Restaurant in Jinyang, and the banquet was all the adults in Jinyang, and Governor Geng also attended, and the news that came out afterwards was that Lord Zhang was going to take over the position of Lord Man Guiman who died in the Beijing Division, and served as the chief soldier of Datong Town, but then there was no movement, and I don't know if it was true or false." Shopkeeper Zhou said.

The general army of Jinxi was transferred to the general army of Datong? It doesn't sound like he was promoted, but Zhou Chengyun knew very well in his heart that the status of these two towns was very different, Datong was one of the important towns on the nine sides, and the strategic location was much more important than that of Jinxi, and the money and grain allocated by the imperial court were naturally much more.

No wonder you want to celebrate with wine, martial artists, it's normal that you can't hide things in your heart, but I didn't expect that as soon as Liukou came, he was delayed like this, and at this time Zhou Chengyun had already believed this rumor for seven or eight points.

At this time, Zhou Chengyun's heart suddenly moved, and he faintly guessed Geng Ruqi's movements, and said, "Well, it's good, let's talk about it, there are still some rumors in Jinyang City." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said in embarrassment, "There are too many rumors, and I don't know where to start for a while." ”

"We don't care about the rest," Zhou Chengyun enlightened, "Just talk about Governor Geng, by the way, and General Zhang Bing." ”

When Shopkeeper Zhou heard this, he frowned and meditated.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Zhou, think slowly, Si tea, refill the tea for shopkeeper Zhou." Zhou Chengyun commanded.

"Hey, it seems to be." Shopkeeper Zhou swallowed a sip of tea and seemed to remember something.

Zhou Chengyun didn't urge, and quietly waited for the shopkeeper Zhou to speak.

"A student of Lord Geng, I can't remember the name, he was born in the same Jinshi, he had no place to go before, he has been idle at home, he was recommended a few days ago, he became the governor of Baoan Prefecture, and he will take office soon, I heard that the person who recommended him was the governor Geng." Shopkeeper Zhou said truthfully.

"Really?" Zhou Chengyun asked, his eyes flashing.

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded affirmatively, "That's right, this person's ancestral home is Jinyang, I have also met once, and the banquet has been set, alas, this is old, and his memory is really bad, why can't I remember his name?" ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou has worked hard." Hearing this, Zhou Chengyun smiled.

At this point, Zhou Chengyun already roughly knew Geng Ruqi's calculations.

The military general has reached the level of the general army, and it is already considered the top of the sky in the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than trying to find a place where there is more money and less risk to stay, although there is no risk in Jinxi, but there is little money, Datong is different, as a border town, money and food are indispensable (although there is not much in the hands of ordinary soldiers in the end), outside the border is the northern captives who have been peaceful for a long time, and Jiliao is compared, but it is much more peaceful.

That is to say, after the meritorious service of King Qin, Jingshi Qin, he has not returned to Jinxi, Geng Ruqi is running for this, these years he and the general soldier Zhang Honggong in the western Jin Dynasty, a single article and a martial arts, quite compatible, this position of the general army of Datong, I am afraid that he gave Zhang Honggong a plan.

Although Baoan Prefecture is small, it is the main road connecting Xuanda and Jingshi, and under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Xuanda, Geng Ruqi has placed his students in this position, what he wants to do, isn't it already obvious, his eyes should be on the position of the Governor of Xuanda who has been hanging for a while.

Governor Xuanda, the full title is "Governor Xuanda, Shanxi and other military affairs and food and salary", with jurisdiction over Jinxi, Xuanfu, Datong, plus a security state, is already one of the largest feudal officials in the Ming Dynasty, and can be regarded as a high authority, Geng Ruqi if he sits in this position as he wishes, there is a state governor and a town to help each other, that position should be able to sit firmly, and his current obstacle to the governor of Xuanda is these bandits who disappeared in the land of western Jin.

"Let's go!" Zhou Chengyun stood up and greeted Si Cha, "Go to Lord Geng's mansion." ”

"Go back, isn't Zhuolu Mountain fine?" Sicha grunted.

"It's not okay to pat yourself on the back!" Zhou Chengyun scolded with a smile, "I usually don't burn incense, but I can't hold Buddha's feet temporarily." ”

"Childe," Shopkeeper Zhou called out to Zhou Chengyun, "Those gifts you asked me to prepare are in the outer hall, do you want to take a look?" ”

"I won't be able to use it this time." Zhou Chengyun shook his head and said, "You can keep the antique calligraphy and painting first, and then talk about it later." ”

"Don't need it?" Si Cha was puzzled and asked, "Childe, you went to Lord Geng's mansion without a gift, what did you take to pat your ass?" ”

Zhou Chengyun laughed, "I, I want to give him a great fortune, these gifts are nothing compared to one another, don't take it." ”
