After Dezhou, the post road to the capital is divided into two, one is to go to Cangzhou, Tianjin and then turn to the capital, and the other is to take Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion and then turn to the capital. The two roads are far and near, the former road coincides with the Cao River, and it is shorter and more convenient, and most officials go to Beijing to take this road. However, after Qian Ning, who rushed back from Jiangxi, made a short rectification stop in Dezhou, he did not go to Tianjin as his subordinates said, but walked along the Zhending Mansion and arrived at Baoding Mansion in less than two days.

He will deliberately come to Baoding Mansion, for nothing else, it is the three sons who are like fish in water here!

That's right, it's the three sons. After the victory in the first battle of Jinan, Zhang Zong said that Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang, the three sons and daughters of Guijie, did not get carried away, and then led the troops to clear out those mountain bandits and horse thieves, but after the first report of the victory, they retreated back to the military camp and did not move. Luo Wenhui, the prefect of Qingyuan, and Luo Mingjian, the prefect of Baoding, were almost dismissed for misreporting the enemy's situation, and now even if they can't get used to the behavior of the three noble sons, they can only turn a blind eye and simply don't see it. As for the people in the city who originally talked about Zhang Zong and said that the three of them were useless, they also hung a number of heads that did not need to be sent to the capital at the gate of the city and on the flagpoles of several troubles, and they turned from the initial chatter to praise in unison.

Therefore, when Qian Ning only brought two entourages into the city to find a teahouse to sit down and investigate, he only heard the four tea guests say that while those owners and westerners are short, more people are talking about what moths have appeared in the barracks, and one of them with a loud voice even shouted: "This time, the three princes are going to march to Qiyunzhai, and that is the territory of Qi Yanming, the third big man in Jinan, in addition to the tiger and Zhang Mao." If you can win this time, the three sons will really be famous, is anyone willing to open a bet? ”

"Phew, take this kind of court to gamble on military affairs, you don't want to have a head!"

"It's just a small bet, that is, two or three coppers win or lose...... "I'm betting that the three sons will definitely lose this time." The first is just to go shit and calculate people, how can you get such good luck this time! ”

"Then you lost this time, they are not fools, they did not rush into the army after the previous big victory, and now they suddenly started to fight, and they are clearly sure.

Today, when we send troops, our Luo Fuzun and Mrs. Luo have taken their subordinates to see them off, I think they were the most criticized behind them at the beginning, if it weren't for the fear that people would win the battle again and make them lose face, why bother to bother like this? ”

Listen, when Qian Ning saw another storyteller coming out with a huqin, playing and singing, he began to talk about the night attack again, he took a deep breath, and after dropping a few pennies, he quietly walked out of the teahouse with his entourage. After half an hour of turning around the city, and even observing the scene of the troops dispatched there, he returned to the inn chartered by the others. As soon as he entered the No. 1 upper room of Tianzi, he saw the pretty woman covered in Hangzhou silk smiling and greeting him.

"Ye is back!"

"Hmm!"

Although he thoroughly tasted the taste of a gentle township in Jiangxi, and even the taste of those women who took it was better than Shang Fenfen, however, Qian Ning was not so stupid after all, and knew that it didn't matter where Hu Tianhu was, the emperor was far away, and he would definitely not report to the capital, but if he brought a few such women back, not to mention the imperial history, even the two great gods who pressed on him would never let him go. So at this moment, he raised his hands and let Shang Fenfen change the cloth shirt on his body, and put on the brocade robe again, he couldn't help but reach out and reach into the placket of his robe, and kneaded it twice happily.

"Master, you see that this dress has just been changed, and it's still early!" ..., "Early? Lao Tzu never looks at what is morning and evening! ”

When he thought that even Zhang Zong said that the three gentlemen were also forced to be held in such a high position by Xu Xun, and even fought a famous battle that no one knew about, and now he was going to lead the troops to suppress the bandits again, he felt panicked in his heart. At the beginning of the year, he was glad that he didn't have to follow Xu Xun to the northwest to patrol the border, who knew that in the blink of an eye, Xu Xun was both a prisoner and a rebel, and after he came back, his title was upgraded to a level, and Liu Jin suffered the dumb loss of the boss, and he was in the limelight for a while. Later, although Zhang Cai voted for Liu Jin and Lin Hanzhishi, but this time Jiao Fang's Zhishi, he keenly smelled a bit of conspiracy, that is, Zhang Cai's apostasy, and he also felt that it was not so right.

But so what, whether it is Xu Xun or Liu Jin, even if he can be given a high position, he is subservient to others after all, and even the future is in the hands of others. Look at when Jiao Fang was most proud, he was only one step away from the first assistant of the cabinet, but now, this is the best lesson from the past!

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and hugged Shang Fenfen and strode to the side of the big bed, threw the person on the bed with his hand, and recorded the brocade robe that had just been put on his body in three or two strokes, and pounced on it so rudely. Panting, he didn't even bother to take off Shang Fenfen's clothes, only removed the two most obstructive things and went straight into her body, and for a while he only felt that unspeakable depression poured out. It wasn't until the unwillingness and anger in his heart were vented in the galloping and cutting again and again that he breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know how many times this scene happened along the way, and Shang Fenfen had long been used to it. She even felt that the farther away she was from the capital, the more violent her feelings became. When she was in Jiangxi, there were still those beauties given by King Ning to carry some for herself, but now she can only endure it by herself. Even so, this trip to Jiangxi also gave her a lot of things that she couldn't imagine before, at least let her see the expectations for the second half of her life.

Since you can't get out of this man, then, if you have power and money as compensation, you can barely survive!

When Qian Ning got out of bed and called a girl outside to come in, Shang Fenfen got up with her sore and weak body and served him with water, and after she scrubbed hastily, she changed a new outfit for him and herself, and then went out of the house. Seeing Qian Ning go downstairs refreshed, she glanced at the room next to her, and saw the door babbling open, and a middle-aged scribe came in from inside, so she shouted with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Luo's motion sickness is actually good?" ”

"It's just that I'm not used to sitting in the car for such a long time, so I just slept for a while." The person who came out of the room was Roddick, he rubbed his temples on both sides, and then said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect Lord Qian to be so fierce, and I can hear it clearly through a wall." ”

"If Mr. Luo is interested, if you want to come to my family, the master is happy to let the concubine serve you. Shang Fenfen saw Qian Ning, who was sitting there in the lobby below, looked up at herself, but she didn't have any reaction to her conversation with Roddick, she waited until the girl in the room was cleaned up, tiptoed back, and then said in a very low voice, "Mr. Luo, now that you have arrived at Baoding Mansion, you have to talk about the good things you said before!" ”

"Of course. In the most famous Huisheng gold and silver shop in the capital, I have saved 5,000 taels of silver for Mrs. Ru. As long as you rely on the hosta that my Chitose gave you before, you can withdraw it at will. ”

"That's good!"

Shang Fenfen breathed a sigh of relief, and just pulled her hair loosely by the railing, and didn't even go in to look in the mirror again, so she went straight downstairs. Just looking at his back, Roddick couldn't help but smack his lips and exhale softly, secretly sighing for such a peerless stunner, thinking that Xu Xun could ignore it and be indifferent, just like a wooden man. If it weren't for the fact that he had already married a wife and had a daughter, and now that Zhu Houzhao was also married, he really had to wonder if there was anything unclear about the two monarchs and ministers. ..., stayed in Baoding Mansion for a night, and after inquiring about all the things that should be inquired, early the next morning, after Qian Ning returned to the road, he naturally worked all the way. It's just that poor Shang Fenfen experienced the baptism of wind and rain again one night, and could hardly sleep in the speeding and bumpy carriage, so she could only hold on so hard. Fortunately, Baoding Mansion is only three hundred and fifty miles away from the capital, and she stopped at the post station for another night, and in the afternoon of the third day, she finally saw the majestic capital by lifting a slit of curtains.

It's finally back....... No, if it were possible, she didn't want to set foot in this place that had caused her a lifetime of humiliation!

Returning to the capital at first, Qian Ning instructed two entourages to send Shang Fenfen home first, and Roddick had already parted ways with him after Baoding Mansion, and then he himself took a pair of cronies to go straight to the Xin'an Gate Salary Division.

After running around for so long, as soon as he stepped into this yamen, which had given him the long-awaited authority, the difficulties along the way were dispelled by a sudden spirit injected into his body. He sat down on the main seat in the middle of the public hall, and when he saw that several of his subordinates had come up to salute, he casually flipped through the books in front of him, and then he looked up and glanced at everyone, but found that there was one person missing.

"What about Wei San?"

"If you go back to your lordship, you are not here, and there is no one in the East Factory, so Father-in-law Liu asked him to go to the East Factory to watch some, and he has been soaking in the East Factory most of the time these days."

Although this was a logical arrangement, Qian Ning was such a suspicious and sensitive person, and he immediately smelled a strange crisis. It was easy to take advantage of the double complaint in front of Liu Jin and Xu Xun to drive Qiu Ju out of the capital, and now he is already holding the inner factory and the east factory in one hand, and it is only a matter of time before the momentum overshadows the Jinyi guard of the west factory, where can someone be allowed to share his power? However, knowing that this was definitely not possible at this time, he nodded lightly and stood up immediately.

"Father-in-law Liu can be the celebrant right now?"

"Back to my lord, Grandpa Liu should go back to his private house."

Hearing such news, Qian Ning immediately went out again without delay, without saying a word. When he came to Liu's house in Shajia Hutong, facing the flow of cars, horses and people that not only blocked the entire alley, but even stretched all the way to Gulouxia Street and even several nearby alleys, he secretly sighed at Liu Jin's power, slowed down slowly, and finally jumped off the horse in front of Liu's mansion.

Although they hadn't seen each other for several months, the people on the door were still familiar with Qian Ning, and someone immediately went to report it. After a while, it was Sun Cong who personally greeted him: "Yo, it's Lord Qian who is back!" The princess was drinking with Mr. Zhang inside, and when he heard that you were coming, he said that he invited you in. Speaking of this, he glanced at the people in the alley who were full of envy, and said with a smile, "Many people here have waited for ten days and half a month and have never been seen by their father-in-law. “

"Yes, yes, the humble function is today, and it is inseparable from the support of the father-in-law."

Qian Ning snorted wrongly, and when he entered Liu's mansion, he found that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and this house had changed a little, not to mention anything else, that is, the most vulgar unicorn wall in front of him, but now it has been replaced by a river and sea boat, and the stone also looks rough and gentle, no longer like the white marble before the general fear that people don't know that it is the first large piece of the dynasty that lives here. As Sun Cong passed through several pavilions all the way, his feeling became even stronger.

"Brother Sun, could it be that someone in this mansion has been re-altered?"

"Hehe, it's none other than Lord Zhang." Although Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian are close to Liu Yu and Cao Yuan, because Zhang Cai is also extremely generous, and he doesn't ask them to do things or say good things in front of Liu Jin, plus now that Zhang Cai has been promoted to the secretary of the ministry, Liu Jin is obedient to his words, so when Sun Cong mentioned Zhang Cai at this moment, he naturally had a little more respect, "Master Zhang is rich in five cars, plus he has a furrow in his chest, a slight change, that is everyone said yes, you see, in the water pavilion on the edge of the lotus pond in front, The justice is drinking with Master Zhang! ”…,

Xu Xun was not in the capital before, and Qian Ning didn't come to Liu's mansion often, knowing that although the Liu family said that a group of ministers came in and out all day long, it was often a large group of people who circled around Liu Jin like stars and moons, and it was really the first time that Liu Jin could be treated like this, and Zhang Cai was really groundbreaking for the first time. Therefore, he vaguely thought about whether he wanted to test Zhang Cai, and at this moment, he had already thrown that thought out of the clouds.

It's better for him to do it according to the previous plan first, no matter what his purpose is!

"Father-in-law, Master Zhang!"

After entering the Water Pavilion, Qian Ning respectfully saluted Liu Jin and Zhang Cai. Seeing that people were so well-behaved, Liu Jin felt that he had face, and immediately greeted Qian Ning with a smile, and ordered the maid to move a chair for him to sit down, and then asked with interest: "Qian Ning, do you have anything to gain when you go to Jiangxi?" ”

Qian Ning owed, and then said with sincerity: "I used to think that Jiangnan was good, but now I know that Jiangxi is not inferior to Jiangnan, and the literary and famous people are especially good, no wonder Jiangxi has the name of Wenyuan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but the scholars there have a lot of discussions about the great affairs of the imperial court, and some of the contents of the humble duties really dare not say it to insult the father-in-law!" King Ning is very humble, and when I was leaving, he also said that his father-in-law was highly respected, and he only hated that his relatives could not leave the fiefdom lightly, and he could not meet his father-in-law, otherwise he wanted to see his father-in-law's demeanor!
