In the early morning of the next day, the sun slowly rises from the sea level, emitting ten thousand rays of light, just and selflessly illuminating everyone under the sun. The streets of Nanjing Mansion are crowded with people. A short and sleek man, from the crowd of loyal flying through, this person is that time moved, he left the restaurant last night, sneaked into the transfer envoy Zhang Hui's house, just to see, Zhang Hui that house, happy to play with a jade seal under the lamp, if you look closely, you can also see that Zhang Hui is carefully studying an ancient book, the name of the ancient book is called, "Tang Dynasty Wenwu Great Sage Daguangxiao Emperor Minutes". I was watching some of the information above: "Zhenguan twenty-three years, Weiguo Gong Li Jing was critically ill, His Majesty the Shengwu Emperor went to visit, saw that the public was terminally ill, tears fell, is to engrave a jade seal, in order to show trust, the jade carving, the material is like the emperor's seal, the seal above the carved dragon, the lower seal Li Yaoshi seal. Five feet square, carved on the side, brother Li Shimin respectfully. When the public died, he was hidden in Zhaoling. Yu Yincheng, deceased, worshiped for five years, passed on to his descendants. Zhang Hui played with the jade seal until late at night, then placed the jade seal in the secret grid and went to sleep in the bedroom. Shi Qian waited until about three o'clock in the middle of the night, entered the secret room, opened the secret compartment, took the seal away, and restored it, and left. Through the window, I entered the room of my own inn and slept in my clothes. In the early morning of the next day, he left the room and went to the post station to join Wu Song.

After Xu Han got up, he seemed to have completely forgotten the complaints he had made last night, and he had reprimanded the Son of Heaven with righteousness and awe, and had already begun to arrange for people to load 1,130 taels of gold into the car. Prepare to transport to the mansion of the pacification envoy of Jinglu. Seeing that everyone had finished loading the gold, they went back to the room to freshen up, tidy up their appearance, and dress up. It was only after Xu Ming had seen it three times, and there was nothing missing or unceremonious, so he hurriedly had breakfast, went to Wu Song's room, and told Wu Song: "Brother Fool today, I will go to Jingluo to appease the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit, inquire about some doors, and give 1,130 taels of gold as a gift for Jin Jian." Wu Song said: "Enxiang, don't put the thirty taels of gold into the car, you can put it in the embroidery bag in case you need it." Anyway, it doesn't matter if you send it or not. Xu Han readily agreed. returned to his room, let Xu Ming wait again, tidied up his appearance a few times, prepared a gift list, and took out thirty taels of gold and put them in the embroidery bag. He ordered a few sergeants, escorted the gold, and rode himself in a carriage to the mansion of the pacification envoy.

This appeasement made the prime minister's surname Liao Ming Qingzi Runhui, who was a descendant official of Hu Wen and Hu Hanxing, the governor of the DPRK and China. At present, Lord Hu Hanxing, the backer of the pacification envoy, has the intention of becoming a master because of his age. The largest official of this faction became a household secretary named Li Ruizi Guangcheng. This Li Rui is old-fashioned and stubborn, often contradicts him, and writes to the emperor that he is too luxurious. The emperor was extremely displeased, and the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory often wrote to impeach Li Rui, and the emperor read that he was loyal and willing to do things, and there was nothing wrong with him. The impeachment was not allowed, so Li Rui was still the secretary of the household department. The official positions of the leaders of the factions are in jeopardy, and the rest of the faction, etc., the biggest ones are just some loose officials, who have little right to speak. As the governor of the Nanjing Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, the pacification envoy of Jingxi Jingxi, and the head of the Guangji Army, Lord Liao Qing was eager to find a new backer to protect his official position. I was so anxious that my hair stood on end.

The transshipment made Zhang Huizi Shiping, good at drilling, like antiques, calligraphy and painting, love beauties, and be good at collecting money. It is the henchman of Wang Huang, who is the chief of the dynasty. Zhang Hui didn't know what method he had, he knew that there was an ancient seal at home, which was said to be the private seal of Li Jing, the prince of Jingwu in the Tang Dynasty. The transfer made Zhang Hui have no way to leave or right. Later, I heard that Liao Qing, the appeasement envoy, was looking for a new backer, and then went to find Liao Qing, and the two hit it off and abandoned their previous suspicions. The pacification envoy and the transfer envoy jointly framed the commander, and the imperial court issued an edict to exile the commander and confiscate the family property. The transfer made Zhang Hui finally get what he wanted and keep the private seal for all.

The transport envoy Zhang Hui told the pacification envoy Liao Qing that the prime minister Wang Hao liked women and money. Let him search for beautiful women, and prepare a million yuan of silver, and when he is ready, he will introduce him to the prime minister Wang Huang. The appeasement envoy Liao Qing was originally a descendant of Deputy Prime Minister Hu Wen. Because the deputy prime minister Hu Wen is not greedy for officials, so he appeased Liao Qing, who has been an official for a few years, and has not earned a lot of silver, only more than 500,000 yuan, and now he wants to take refuge in a new backer, obviously because of financial constraints, and then began to do everything possible to make some of his subordinates filial piety to themselves, and in addition, he tried to find a way to extort silver with Liao Qing. On that day, I happened to see Xu Hanyanggu County's official document on the suppression of bandits, and the Dongping prefect reported that he wanted to give Wu Song, who had made meritorious contributions to the suppression of bandits, an official county lieutenant, and appeased Liao Qing to feel that he could not live up to the loyalty of his confidant Dongping prefect, and immediately agreed to give Wu Song an alternate county lieutenant and deputy county lieutenant. It happened that the transfer envoy Zhang Hui was having a banquet in his house that day, and Zhang Hui said: "They went down to suppress the bandits and got all the silver into their pockets, and they didn't know that they came to honor the officials." I only know that I make money and ask for credit. In the next few days, I sent a letter questioning them for falsely reporting their military exploits, to see if they can be human beings, whether they know how to be filial, if they go on the road, we will get him a prefect, if they pretend to be crazy and stupid, let him go home to farm, and change someone who knows how to become an official. After hearing this, Liao Qing said happily: "I have been an official for a few years, and I can't make any money left and right. Come and make a toast to our glory and wealth. ”

Xu Han humbly received a slight appeasement from Liao Qing's mansion, respectfully presented the gift list with both hands, and then knelt down to give a salute. Liao Qing took the gift list, glanced at it slightly, and then helped Xu Han with joy and said, "Wen Qing! Get up quickly, don't be polite. He also instructed the people in the house to hurry up and serve good tea to entertain Lord Xu. The two began to chat, Xu Han talked about some government affairs, but when he saw Liao Qing squinting his eyes, it seemed that he was about to fall asleep. Then he began to talk about the fact that the transfer envoy questioned his official document for retribution. Only then did Liao Qing open his eyes and let out a trace of fine light. Liao Qing told Xu Handao: "Because of this matter, I and the transfer envoy Zhang Hui, quarreled several times, but they could not be resolved, that guy must go to the court, saying that your Yanggu County deceived the superiors and subordinates, lied about the merits, and sent a division to investigate, picket illegal personnel, remove the law, and deal with the majesty of the law of the country. After speaking, he got up and said: "I still have some official business to deal with, don't leave yet, let the housekeeper accompany you to eat some tea!" ”

Then Liao Qing instructed the housekeeper to accompany Xu Han, and he was going to deal with official business, so he left the housekeeper and went straight to Xinna's concubine's room.

When Xu Han saw the housekeeper Liao Tong coming in, he hurriedly got up to give a salute, and then had tea with Liao Tong. Xu Han complimented and inquired about the situation, but Liao Tong just ate tea and laughed without saying anything. Xu Han suddenly woke up to the fact that it was the housekeeper who asked for a reward, and Xu Ming used to do it, and he knew it, but he didn't want Xu Han, who prided himself on being honest and honest, to do these things today. With a little emotion in his heart, he immediately entered the state, took out thirty taels of gold, put it in front of Liao Tong's eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Zunguan, as long as you tell me a little way, these thirty taels of gold will be used as a wine for you." ”

Liao Tong was overjoyed, just now he was still complaining that Xu Han didn't understand the accident, and he was looking for a preparation to kill some time, and when Xu Han was in a hurry, he gave Xu Han the instructions of the old man Liao Qing. I didn't expect Xu Han to be so generous, so he immediately whispered to Xu Han with great joy: "The benefactor of the transfer envoy Zhang Hui Xianggong is the prime minister of the dynasty, Wang Huang Xianggong, I heard Zhang Hui's housekeeper Zhang Xian say that Wang Huang Xianggong is short of money, and Zhang Hui is trying to find a way to raise money to send to the benefactor." That's why it's stuck, your document for meritorious service, I want you to give some dowry, if there is a number of 100,000, the original position is not moved, the number of 200,000, I will help you write a letter to the prime minister Wang Huang, and write to the court, asking for you to be appointed as the lord of Zhizhou. ”

Xu Han hurriedly whispered: "I am willing to contribute 200,000 yuan, but my subordinate Wu Song has a lot of credit, and most of this silver is made up by him." Zunguan to see if he can ask Zhang Xian, the housekeeper of Zhang Xianggong's family, if he can get Wu Song a good official position. When the time comes, the two will each give a gift of 5,000 yuan. I am willing to give a total of 300,000 yuan to the pacification envoy and the transit envoy. to repay the great kindness of the two adults. I'll go back to the museum to rest for the time being. I'll leave everything to you. Xu Han got up and saluted, and then went back to the station.
