Chapter 408: Jin San's Change

Looking at Shen Wuyan's curious gaze, Master Jin hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhou is the ...... of Li Chaoling's political affairs."

Listening to Master Jin's explanation, Shen Wuyan gradually got to know more about this Lord Zhou.

The so-called parliamentary government is equivalent to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty or the previous prime minister, which has left and right politics, and the leader of the council is the chief of the government, and this Zhou Qianzhou Lord held this position.

According to the tone of Master Jin, this Lord Zhou had a very high reputation in the Li Dynasty, and the Manchu Dynasty praised him both civil and military, and even the Emperor Li Hao of the Li Dynasty respected him very much.

It is said that Zhou Qian has served in the eight provinces of the Li Dynasty, and most of the people have been safe and sound everywhere he has been over the years, even in a place as far away from the imperial court as Huofengzhuang, he has some ears and eyes for this Lord Zhou.

In the early years, this Lord Zhou served in Pyongyang Prefecture, when there was a war on the border, and the imperial court could not raise military salaries for a while.

After that, there was a drought, hundreds of thousands of people were affected, and the corrupt officials in the court controlled the government, and the subordinates sent disaster relief funds to exploit layer by layer, and there was not much left in the localities.

Seeing that hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, Zhou personally went to the capital to petition for the people, because there was not a single horse in the entire Pyongyang Province at that time, so Zhou Daren had to walk all the way for several months before reaching Seoul Province.

In the past few months, Zhou Daren has eaten and slept in the open air, rushing during the day, sleeping wherever he goes at night, if he has friends, he can still stay at his friend's house, he can still have a full meal, if he has no friends, he has to sleep in the wilderness.

At that time, when the officials of the DPRK and China saw Lord Zhou, his face was covered with mud, unkempt, and ragged clothes, and if he had not taken out his official certificate, no one would have believed that he was Lord Zhou.

It was also after that time that Lord Zhou was transferred back to Seoul Mansion, and then he was promoted step by step to the current place of the extremely human minister.

"Lord Zhou is a rare good official, Li Chao has been able to fight against Mongolia with the Ming Dynasty over the years, and it is also Lord Zhou who has single-handedly contributed to the ......" Master Jin sighed and continued: "If Madam had said this earlier, the old man would not have been so abrupt......

Mrs. Zhou's face was obviously a little surprised, or flattered, she didn't expect that this Jin master would respect her master so much.

However, she quickly regained her look, and then said in that light tone: "The lord has also saved some silver over the years, so he bought this house here a few years ago...... is probably tired of the strife in officialdom, so he already has the intention of retiring...... This time, he said that he would go to Pyongyang to explain some things, and he would resign and live here......"

Although Shen Wuyan also has a lot of respect for this Lord Zhou, after all, an official who can be praised by the people must be a real good official, but he has no time to admire this honest and clean Lord Zhou at this time, he just wants to ask this Lord Zhou for the reason for the matter.

It's just that he soon found that his idea of going to this Lord Zhou at this time was obviously unrealistic. What he identified before was that Lord Zhou wanted to kill him, but now this Lord Zhou is such a character, even Master Jin will not believe it.

Sure enough, before Shen Wuyan could speak, Master Jin said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou will definitely not do such a thing...... What is the secret of Lord Shen...... What does the old man mean that he was really drunk that night? ”

"Wait." Jin San suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Wuyan, smiled strangely, and then said, "Since Lord Shen mentioned Lord Zhou, then it must be necessary to find Lord Zhou as a witness...... Let Lord Shen go to Lord Zhou, so that the truth of this case can be revealed. ”

Jin San has always been stern and rarely shows a smile, and the smiling face just now is also the first time Shen Wuyan has smiled since he saw him, but he can still see that there is a faint trace of pride in that smile, but he doesn't know where this pride comes from.

"Could it be...... He knew I couldn't find Master Zhou...... Jin San, who has repeatedly blocked me before, will speak for me like this here? …… Or did he already have other arrangements? Thinking of this, Shen Wuyan's heart moved, knowing that the person who was going to come to this house today was this Jin San.

And the house seemed to change overnight, as if someone had notified them and prepared all day, so there were no flaws.

Master Jin tried his best to save himself, but Jin San always wanted to kill himself, so the person who informed them could only be Jin San except Master Jin and himself.

"Is that him?" Shen Wuyan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Jin San, secretly thinking that if he went to Lord Zhou like this, he would fall for the other party's strategy, and after a little thought, Shen Wuyan said: "The security in this village is still responsible for Jin Sanye, so ......"

Jin San smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed Shen Wuyan's thoughts, and nodded: "Third Master, I will never leave Huofeng Village...... But someone has to follow you...... Anyway, you have to find a guide, otherwise Lord Shen won't even be able to get to Pyongyang Mansion. ”

"Jin Qi." Shen Wuyan had seen Jin Qi once before, and although the young man was cringe, he had obviously only followed Jin San for a short time, so he was not Jin San's henchman, so he was also the most reliable.

Jin San was also a little surprised, not that Shen Wuyan actually chose Jin Qi, but that Shen Wuyan actually knew Jin Qi's name, and couldn't help but flash a trace of strangeness at the corner of his mouth, and said curiously: "Lord Shen is also an official of the Ming Dynasty...... I don't know what kind of official he is in Daming? ”

……

Jin Qi was really a very honest person, and he didn't say a word to Shen Wuyan along the way, if it wasn't for Shen Wuyan asking a few words of inconsequential things, he would never have spoken.

"Little Qi...... Are you afraid of your third master? ”

"I'm afraid!"

"What are you afraid of, he won't eat you ......"

"Hmm!"

“……”

The carriage drove out of Huofengzhuang and galloped towards the south, according to Jin Qi's introduction, it would take about four or five days to drive from Huofengzhuang to Pyongyang Province, not counting the food and accommodation along the way.

Along the way, Shen Wuyan was thinking about one thing, why Jin San would give himself to Jin Qi with confidence.

The kid in front of him has a lot of strength in his hands, but he obviously doesn't know any tricks, if he really makes a move, he is definitely not an opponent, so if he wants to escape, it is a matter of time.

However, Shen Wuyan can't escape now, what Master Jin said is very right, at this time, he came to the Li Dynasty, representing the entire Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wuyan committed a crime in the Li Dynasty, and in the end, it would still affect his family members who were far away in the capital, and he was also responsible for losing General Li before, so it could be said that it was a lot of trouble, and when it was really transmitted back to the capital, the ministers must have been very angry.

It is impossible to say how Gao Gong will take the opportunity to act again, how the final situation will develop, Shen Wuyan is really unpredictable, it is better to clear the charge earlier.
