It took 20 years for Zhang Wen to start from an ordinary soldier, and finally achieved the garrison of the Jinyi Army, which is the official position of Zhengwupin.

Although the rank of military attache is not as valuable as that of civilian officials, and they are often looked down upon by civilian officials, Zhang Wen is already very satisfied with this.

His hometown has been farming in Zhili for generations, and his own life has become like this, which has made the villagers of Shili and Eight Villages very envious.

Every time he went home and saw the envious eyes of the villagers, Zhang Wen felt infinitely satisfied.

Life seems to be going well, but it's been a little unsatisfactory recently.

His younger brother Zhang Cai, who worked as a housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion, disappeared.

Because of the recent handling of the case of Jiao Da, a slave of Rongguofu, Zhang Wen's first reaction was whether Zhang Cai asked Rongguofu to get rid of him.

However, there is no evidence of him at the moment.

Rongguo Mansion has reported to the official, and the case is currently being investigated by Shuncheon Mansion.

Today, Zhang Wen also went to Shuntian Mansion to inquire and see if there was any progress in the case.

He was told to wait slowly.

He suspected that Rong Guofu had done something, and he also wanted Rong Guofu to make a fuss.

If it was another small family, he could even take a few brothers and go directly to the door, find an excuse, and raid his home.

However, Rongguofu cannot.

Although the Jinyi Army can run rampant in the imperial capital, he doesn't have the courage to ask him to go directly to Rongguo Mansion to make trouble.

He went to his boss, and Xie Kun just said that the case had been investigated in Shuntianfu, and it was not easy for him to interfere.

He knew that this was Xie Kun's deliberate shirk.

Zhang Wen was a little puzzled, since the errand of investigating Jiafu was assigned by the emperor, why Xie Kun retreated at this time.

It seems that as soon as Jiao Da died, he didn't mention or read about Jiafu.

However, Zhang Wen was not reconciled.

The younger brother Zhang Cai was brought out by himself. Now that my younger brother is gone, I can't explain to my father when I go home.

He decided that after a while, if nothing came of it, he would take action.

Rongguo Mansion will pay the price.

As for what the price is, Zhang Wen hasn't thought about it yet.

What he thinks about is to go to his newly accepted concubine's house and have a good time with the concubine.

For this concubine, Zhang Wen is very satisfied. In recent days, he has been here almost every day, barely coming home.

It was already dark, Zhang Wen regretted a little, he ate too much wine and delayed for a while. There is a vacant lot at the concubine's house, where there have been two murder cases before.

Even he, passing by at night, was a little panicked.

However, he then felt a little funny.

The garrison office of the Jinyi Army, even ordinary civil and military officials are afraid to see themselves, and they are afraid to walk at night?

Shadows were sufficient, and several dark shadows walked in front of them, moving so fast that they could barely hear footsteps.

What the hell is it?

As he spoke, several dark shadows came to him.

"But the Jinyi Army is guarded?"

Someone came to speak.

This time, Zhang Wen was relieved, it was good to be a human being.

"Yes, it's the official. Who are you? It's dark, why are you still wandering around? ”

"It's dark at night, and the road is not easy to walk, so we'll give you a ride."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Wen felt that he had received a heavy blow to his neck, and then his body went limp.

"Second Uncle Lian, this guy is still a garrison, why is he so vulnerable?"

Jia Qiang said with a grin.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Yun, you carry him and throw him into the well quickly."

"Yes, Second Uncle Lian, don't talk nonsense."

Half a month later, Lai Da, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, found Shuntian Mansion and said that because the housekeeper Zhang Cai had been missing for a long time, there was no news so far, so the house was ready to arrange a new housekeeper to take over Zhang Cai's position.

When he counted the accounts, he found that Zhang Cai's business was short of 1,800 taels of silver. Now the Rongguo Mansion has opened Zhang Cai. I hope that after the government finds Zhang Cai in the future, it will recover his lost silver.

Due to the appearance of this clue, Shuntianfu suspected that Zhang Cai might have absconded with the money after embezzling the silver. So he sent sea fishing documents to various places to arrest Zhang Cai.

After the government corps was dismantled, Ni Er returned to the imperial capital.

Originally, he could have stayed in Bukui to farm or start a small business, just like everyone else. However, he came back anyway.

This time he came back, he returned to his hometown in fine clothes and came back as a hero,

Because he was the hero who pacified the South Windura steppe and defeated the Tatars.

At the beginning, because he followed Bao Er Ye of Jia Mansion to the Yeduju military camp to make trouble, he was forcibly recruited by the fourth master of the mansion to serve as a soldier, so Ni Er felt very embarrassed.

In the past two years, he has been fighting and training desperately, just to fight for a breath.

This time, he could come back with confidence.

In fact, he really came back with confidence. Because he is a man who has made a name for himself.

After coming back, Ni Er went back to his old business and continued to lend money sharks in the casino.

This livelihood is actually quite good.

Every day, there are people who lose all their money in the casino and are eager to get it back. These people are his best customers.

This errand is very leisurely, as long as he stays in the casino every day, someone will take the initiative to find him.

He is not the only one who does this business, and when he is fine, Ni Er chats with them.

It is also very pleasant to chat and drink tea at the same time.

"You know what? At the beginning of the battle of Red Rock Beach, it was a miserable fight, that time, we fought the Mailai people, we were 800 people, and we beat him 4,000 people, at that time, the second master of Rongguo Mansion was our battalion commander, I was with my brother Huang Mao, and I killed a ...... of seven into seven,"

"Ni Er, how many times have you told us about this? I'm tired of hearing it. ”

"Okay, then I'm going to tell you something fresh. Last winter, we braved heavy snow to fight the Tatars, and this time, it was Commander Min himself who led us. Sir Min, do you know? It is the fourth master of Rongguo Mansion. ”

"Ni Er, who doesn't know Fourth Master, that's a man."

"The snow is more than two feet thick, and the Tatars never imagined that we would come at this time. In the snow and ice, we blocked the Sidwa. ”

"Ni Er, you also talked about this paragraph."

"Later, Chief Min made a bet with the head of the Sidwa tribe, Simari, that he would beat thirty of them alone, and guess what?"

"Commander Min single-handedly defeated thirty Tatar warriors."

"I've already said this?"

"The 150,000 army of the imperial court was defeated, and it was you who defeated the Tatars at Erdaojiang and blocked the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Tatars from moving south. It was you who rescued the crown prince and His Royal Highness Chang'an, and it was you who recovered Southern Wendula. ”

"Oh, you all know."

"Ni Er, how many times have I heard you talk about it. We know your business better than you do. ”

"Got it? Do you know where my godson is? ”

"When did you have a godson?"

"My godson is in the Rongguo Mansion."

"Ni Er, don't brag, the people of Rongguo Mansion can still recognize you as a godfather?"

"Hehe, you don't know that, do you? I'll tell you the truth, it's my brother Huangmao's son. ”

"Isn't your brother Huang Mao from Zhili, how could his son come to Rongguo Mansion?"

"Second Master Lian brought the two of them back, and the ancestor made the decision and left them in the house."

"Ni Er, is this really the case?"

"If you don't believe it, you ask Second Master Lian to go, no, Second Master Lian is here."

Jia Lian did come, but no one asked Jia Lian.

These people who make a living in casinos are very discerning people.

The second master of Rongguo Mansion is not something they can easily talk to, they still have these visions and self-knowledge.

Ni Er followed Jia Lian and went outside.

"Ni Er, how is he doing?"

"Leader, I lost a lot tonight, just in the past half a month, I borrowed more than 3,000 taels, and it is said that I have borrowed a lot in other casinos. Many people want to ask him for an account. ”

"He owes somebody else, you know?"

"Know."

"Inquire and see who he owes to the loan sharks, and give me a breakdown."

"Well, as far as I know, there are more than 10,000 taels. Don't look at him as the commander of the Jinyi Army of Sanpin, his ability to gamble money is really average. Everyone else treats him like a sheep, but he doesn't know it. ”

"Is he still going to the Liansheng Gambling House?"

"I used to go there, and I owed a lot of money there, and I couldn't pay it back, so I came here."

"You go to Lian Sheng to check and see who he owes? Is Yongchang Horse really in Lian Sheng's shares? ”

"Naturally, it's true, his housekeeper comes on time to get dividends on the second day of every month. Not only Yongchang Horse, Prince Zhongshun also invested in Shengkui Gambling House. Xie Kun also owes a lot of money there. Now they are chasing him for an account. ”

"You have him everywhere, in short, as long as you can collect it, who you owe, how much you owe, you can find out, the more detailed the better."

"Understood, Captain."

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible, I'll go back first."

"Yes, Second Master Lian ......."

"Ni Er, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask, where is Chief Min now?"

"Doing business in Dabei-myeon, what's the matter, I have something to find Chief Min?"

"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired of staying here, and I want to follow Chief Min, so it's more refreshing."

I've finished telling others what I've done in the past, but now there's nothing to talk about.

Only by following Chief Min and doing something earth-shattering can he tell stories to those guys in the future, which will scare them for a while.

"If you're really tired of it, after this is done, let's go to Bukui. Miss Ping'er, Miss Shen, and Chen Yejun are all there, and they should know where Chief Min is. ”

Half a month later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shuntianfu, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple received anonymous letters almost simultaneously, saying that Xie Kun, the commander of the Jinyi Army, was corrupt and bent on gambling, and owed tens of thousands of taels of silver to usury in major gambling houses.

In order to repay gambling debts, Xie Kun instructed his subordinates to extort merchants, frame court officials, and extort money.

At the same time, Liu Changfeng, the chief university of the Military Aircraft Department and the chief university of Shilu University, and the commander of Jiumen, also received the same anonymous letter.

Although the bigwigs everywhere usually grit their teeth with hatred for Xie Kun, because Xie Kun is deeply trusted by the emperor, they don't dare to act rashly. Just quietly suppressed the anonymous report letter.

Xie Kun heard the rumors, took the initiative to face the saint, defended himself by being framed, and asked the emperor to allow him to track down who was framing him.

The emperor approved it, so Xie Kun began to investigate.

Two days later, more than 100 large-character posters appeared overnight on the streets and alleys of Chang'an Avenue in the east and west and the imperial capital, listing the amount of silver taels owed by Xie Kun to each casino, as well as the list of some creditors.

Among them is the drunken ghost Ni Er on Ningrong Street.

This matter spread throughout the imperial capital in one day, and it was almost a household name.

In the morning of the next day, Yang Kui, the imperial historian of the Inspectorate, played a concert and requested the impeachment of Xie Kun.

Yang Kui started, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Admiral of Jiumen, Dali Siqing, Shuntianfu, Lu University, Ji University, and Beijing King seconded the proposal.

Although the prince wanted to come forward to oppose it, more and more people saw that he seconded it. I had to endure it.

The emperor decreed that Xie Kun would be suspended for investigation.

Zhou Tong, the imperial guard, led the Imperial Forest Army to the Great Black Gate, took down Xie Kun, and handed it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation.
