In Bazhou City, an important town in Dongchuan more than 300 miles west of Jiangling, Bazhou Thorn Shi Tang Kuan's mood has been particularly comfortable these days, he has been born in the Ming Jing at the age of sixteen, and he has never felt so proud as he is now.

When he was young, because of his background in the Ming Dynasty, he had a difficult career, far inferior to his colleagues in Jinshike, and when he was nearly forty years old, he was still dangling in the position of Cao Xiaoyi, and he was buried in the mountains of official documents and cases all day long.

Lin Shu, the champion of the same year who was twenty years younger than him, was already a fourth-rank important member in a red robe and one of the best subordinates around the prince, but he could only be sent to Yuezhou, a wild land, to be an insignificant state horse.

Seeing the sun and moon flickering and his temples dyed with frost, Tang Kuan, who was unwilling to live a mediocre life, finally made up his mind that even if he went bankrupt, he would also change into a red robe and wear it, and shine on the lintel.

So, when he was exactly fifty years old, Tang Kuan, the master of Sima Prefecture in Zhengliupin, did the most important thing in the first half of his life: he sold all the fields and family businesses in his hometown in Bingzhou, and divided the 200,000 yuan sold into two halves, of which 100,000 were sent to Pei Baiyao's mansion at the time, and the remaining 100,000 were never left, and all of them were filial to Li Jinzhong, the provincial supervisor of the Inner Chamberlain.

God pays off, of course, there is also a saying that money can make ghosts grind. Li Jinzhong and Pei Baiyao, the two leaders of the internal and external dynasties, were all moved by Tang Kuan's spirit of pursuing political progress at the expense of economic bankruptcy, and recommended Tang Kuan in front of the emperor in a contract spirit, praising Tang Kuan as a rare outstanding local official who was rooted in the frontier, worked hard, and had outstanding political achievements and was praised by the people.

At this time, the emperor was slaughtering the rebellious officials to the point where he couldn't stop, and he was eager to set an example among the officials all over the world, so as to inspire his ministers to serve the court sincerely.

Compared with Li Jinzhong, Pei Baiyao has read a few more books after all, and knows how to take people's money and deal with people more beautifully, and he secretly weighs it in his heart: he feels that he has smashed 100,000 yuan to himself, and he has only been promoted to two levels in exchange for an official, and Tang Kuan is afraid that he will not be satisfied. So, when conveying the emperor's edict to the officials, two words were specially added: Bazhou.

Bazhou has always been a rich land, although the territory under its jurisdiction is small, but the land is strong, and it also has a decisive position in the military. Therefore, although the Bazhou Thorn History is in the third rank with the lowest rank in the ranks of the local governors at the first level of the Thorn History, it is a fat difference that can gain both fame and fortune.

This would have been a good thing. However, when Tang Kuan happily rushed from Yuezhou to Bazhou with his family to take office, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have become the target of everyone's attacks overnight.

From the top boss Jian Nan Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, down to the subordinates of the Bazhou Assassin Prefecture and the officials and errands of the counties under the rule of Bazhou, everyone is openly or secretly stumbling on his role model for the ministers. Either he suspected that the soldiers recruited by Bazhou under the imperial court's edict were insufficient for many years, or the long history, Sima, and soldiers of the Assassin History Yamen complained to him that the taxes paid by Bazhou to the imperial court for many years were almost twice that of neighboring Yuzhou, but why the long history, Sima, and soldiers of the Yuzhou Assassin Yamen were all higher in rank than themselves.

The most infuriating thing is that the petty officials and errands in the counties often go to the people to extort and extort money in the name of his exemplary assassin history, and in order to maintain the good image of his ministers as a model in front of the emperor and his colleagues in the world, he has to adopt a tolerant and tolerant attitude towards them, try his best to cover up and conceal for them, and sometimes he has to personally come forward to appease the people and settle the troubles for them.

In the three years that he recently served as a assassin in Bazhou, Tang Kuan not only did not dare to put a penny into his pocket in front of everyone, but also suffered from the cowardice of his superiors and subordinates. Even his wife and concubines complained to him from time to time that since they went to Bazhou with him to take office, their fat powder money has often become unavailable.

However, life is often like this, even if you give up all your wealth, you can't ask for it, and suddenly one day you can easily get it without much effort.

When Tang Kuan came to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion and sat down, he could hardly believe his eyes when he faced the ragged murder suspect in front of him who had been pushed and shoved by the servants and caught the Assassin's Yamen.

Some time ago, according to the chief of the east of the city, the old beggar in the old Junguan in the east of the city was killed in the temple at some point. Speaking of this old beggar, she has had more than one relationship with the dignified Lord Thorn Shi. Although she is old and tired, she speaks in a very loud tone. Tang Kuan still clearly remembers that when he saw the old beggar for the first time a year ago, the old woman gave him an eight-character proverb: "Every dragon rises, and the dragon never ends." ”

When Tang Kuan heard this, he was quite unhappy in his heart. He broke his family and wealth, and was appointed by the emperor as a model for his ministers, saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that he will rise when he meets the dragon; But this last sentence is obviously not a good word, from the end of the dragon, does it mean that he Tang Kuan did not end well?

Because of this, Tang Kuan was very impressed by this old beggar.

The old beggar was killed, and the murder suspect was quickly brought to justice, which was an ordinary homicide case for Tang Kuan. However, how can this murder suspect who is not more than a weak crown look like a person?

Tang Kuan's release of brown has been nearly 40 years, including 30 years in various ministries and yamen in Chang'an, and his knowledge is not extensive. Seeing that the down-and-out young man in front of him was clearly the eldest son of the emperor and His Royal Highness King Mu Li Qi, who was ordered to be visited by the imperial court, Tang Kuan was almost drunk.

Today's emperor's favorite, King Mu, who is regarded as the candidate for the second prince by the world, was found by him!

Every dragon is rising, every dragon is rising, dare to say that it is this future true destiny!

Although this young man didn't say a word, neither admitted to killing anyone, nor was he willing to explain his true identity, Tang Kuan could determine that he was Li Qi, the king of peace, by virtue of his extraordinary ability to recognize people!

As soon as he realized that he was about to run and soar because of this, Tang Kuan immediately made a major decision that was not inferior to that of the bankrupt buyer three years ago. After sending the news directly to Chang'an with a 600-mile post message, he did not report the news of finding King Mu to the Yamen of Jiedu at the same time, but led 200 elite soldiers of the government army to personally escort King Mu on his journey to Jinjing.
