Chapter 344: The Upper Officials of the Hall Arrived
Qin Lin and his entourage entered the Yongding Gate, walked north along Zhengyang Street, passed through the Lingyou Palace, the Praruo Temple, the school captain camp, and the Zhushikou (now Zhushikou), and passed through the inventory of the Zhengyangmen guards of the city, and walked into the inner city of the Beijing Division.
The chessboard street between Zhengyangmen and Daming Gate is very short, Qin Lin stood at the south end and looked north, only to see the officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies on both sides of the Daming Gate Imperial Road...... The weather of the major yamen is strict, and the palace is deep and the palace is heavy in the north, which is the Forbidden City where the great son of tomorrow lives.
Jinyi Wei Yamen is in the Jiangmi Lane on the west side of Daming Gate, the location is between the square and the National Center for the Performing Arts in the later generations, the building hall does not see anything special, but there are very few people in front of the door, and the occasional passer-by must not squint, the line is in a hurry, and the solemn atmosphere of the factory guard Yamen arises spontaneously.
Qin Lin was not busy going to the yamen, first of all, he had to settle down the brothers and the servants of Yahuan, the climate in Beijing was cold in winter, and the north wind blew people's faces painfully, and the fat man was snorting and snorting at this time, and it seemed that he had a little cold.
Xu Wenchang came to Jingshi, led them to Yangma Hutong behind the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and turned into a very large inn, with a black lacquer and gold signboard "Huixian Inn", with pink walls and green tiles, and several huge willows in the yard.
A shopkeeper in gray clothes and black hats was sweeping the floor with a broom, and when he saw that there were a lot of cars and horses, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, Xu Wenchang jumped from the wheel and fell to the ground, and laughed: "Wang Xiaoer, do you still recognize Xu Ye?" β
Wang Xiaoer was taken aback, took a closer look and recognized the old man Xu, and immediately ran inside shouting: "Shopkeeper, the old madman is back again!" β
Qin Lin, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali nodded again and again, it seems that Xu Wenchang is famous, and he really knows all over the world, and even a shopkeeper in Jingshi knows his old man's name.
Lu Fatzi even secretly wondered, was it too much to treat the old madman in the past?
Xiao Er only had the blink of an eye when he entered, and a white and chubby shopkeeper rushed out like a wind, wearing a thick ink-colored cotton jacket, his eyes were spinning, and he recognized Xu Wenchang, and immediately pounced like a hungry tiger pounced, grabbing his collar with both hands:
"Old madman, five years ago you owed me twelve taels or four dollars for the house, seven taels and eight dollars and five cents for the meal, and the debts you owed for making clothes with silk and satin on credit, pouring yellow soup with old wine on credit, and going to the prostitution...... A total of one hundred and thirty-nine twenty-six dollars and seven cents, as soon as you leave, all the bosses will fall on me, but I will be miserable! Let's go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to fight a lawsuit, and we can go to Shuntianfu! β
No way! Qin Lin, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali, as well as those pro-soldiers and maid rings, their eyes fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Xu Wenchang is not acquainted all over the world, but creditors all over the world!
Xu Wenchang was exposed, so he couldn't help but blush his old face, and said stubbornly: "Shopkeeper Sun, my old Xu has never been a bad account......
Qin Lin couldn't help laughing and asked the shopkeeper Sun, "How much silver does Mr. Xu owe you?" β
Lu Fatzi helped on the side: "Our Qin chief is the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, if you have anything, just tell him, and he will definitely uphold justice." β
When Shopkeeper Sun heard that Qin Lin was the commander of Jinyiwei, he was immediately startled, let go of Xu Wenchang, and said with a smile:
"Chief Qin, five years ago, this Xu Wenchang went to stay in the shop, because he is a celebrity, and there are many big officials and mansions, so the small one does not urge him to pay for the store and the food money, that is, he owes the wine account on credit, and the small one is the middle insurance. I didn't expect the old madman to be a dog sitting on a basket - he didn't know how to lift, so many big officials and mansions wanted to make friends with him, he pretended to be high, and refused to play the autumn breeze and the Cheng Yi, he was so poor that he clanged, and finally owed a lot of debts and sneaked away, but he made the small pit miserable! β
Hearing these words, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali almost didn't laugh, and Old Man Xu also grinned, pulling his goatee that was not yellow and gray.
Qin Lin just nodded indifferently: "Mr. Xu is the official guest, since he owes the account to your store, the official will pay him back." β
After that, Qin Lin asked Niu to take out two hundred taels of silver vigorously, and stuffed it to the shopkeeper Sun, and if there was any excess in addition to the arrears, it would be counted as interest for the past five years.
"Thank you, sir! The chief is still sympathetic and knows the hardships of the little ones," the shopkeeper nodded in a Beijing accent, looked at Xu Wenchang smiling beside him, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Xu, if you were willing to be a master for others and take a bundle of repairs, why would you owe a lot of debts?" Even if you fight the autumn breeze and collect some farewell, you will not be poor and destitute - you see how generous this Qin chief is now! β,
Xu Wenchang didn't make a sound, just pinched his beard and smiled:
In addition to Hu Zongxian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the commander of Xuanhua, Wu Dui, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the border fortress, and the current chief of Qin Lin and Qin, who is worthy of my Xu Wenchang as his guest?
In fact, there is another person who Xu Wenchang admires very much, that is, Zhang Juzheng, who presided over my answer to the tribute, affirmed Hu Zongxian and Xu Wenchang's appeasement policy in disguise, and actively implemented the new reform policy, but Zhang Xiangye is far-reaching, must bow down to everything, and never fake political affairs.
The arrears have been paid off, Qin Lin is the new commander of Jinyiwei, the attitude of the shopkeeper Sun is so good, Qin Lin is also wealthy, and he directly chartered a small courtyard to live, and the shopkeeper Sun smiled all over his face, and praised Xu Wen for his young and promising and generous attitude.
Xu Wenchang only spoke continuously, and whatever the shopkeeper Sun said, he took it as the wind in his ears.
Qin Lin smiled secretly, is Old Man Xu still doing less nonsense? Bi Maokang must have understood it deeply...... Liu Shouyou doesn't often stay in the yamen, but Qin Lin's luck is good, today the governor of brocade clothes is in the yamen, and the post is thrown in, and soon there will be a captain in it to invite him.
Under the leadership of the school captain, Qin Lin walked into the yamen, only to see the courtyard Gu Bai Sensen, the government office was heavy, the light was much more gloomy than the empty street outside, and the official schools that came and went were also solemn, and they were in a hurry when they walked, with a bit of inexplicable mystery.
A row of houses in the black hole in the north is the famous Beizhen Fusi, the final destination of many powerful ministers and generals in the Imperial Prison Prison; A row of houses to the south is Qin Lin's upcoming Nanzhen Fusi, as the agency that manages and investigates the affairs of the guard, it is the spy of the spies, the gendarme of the gendarmerie.
Rao is Lu Yuanzhi's nerves are rough, Niu is strong and bold like a fight, so he can't help but feel worried about it, and his heart is like a drum when he looks forward to it;
Only Qin Lin didn't care to look around, he didn't seem too frivolous, but also calm.
The captain who led the way was surprised, seeing that Qin Lin was young, how could his state of mind be so indifferent? I couldn't help but ask, "Sir, have you been here before?" β
"No, it's the first time I've come", Qin Lin touched his nose, he just often stayed in the morgue full of dead people, and he had long been accustomed to that kind of cold feeling, although the evil aura of the Jinyi Guard Yamen was heavy, it was not enough to surprise him.
Zuo Du was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and the crown prince Liu Shouyou was above the hall, looking at the young man who walked under the hall with considerable concern.
Liu Shouyou is in his forties, but after being a famous minister in the Jiajing period, he was born with a dignified appearance, he followed Zhang Juzheng, married the eunuchs in the palace, and firmly held the supreme power of Jinyiwei.
Liu Shouyou, who has lived in Jinyiwei for a long time, has the ability to recognize people, and when he sees this, he can't help but think slightly: When the newly promoted hall officials come here, they can't help but be honestly afraid, but this Qin Lin who came today is very solid and light, and his eyes are not wandering, no wonder Zhang Xiangye ...... Alas, alas, alas!
Leaving Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali to wait in the courtyard, Qin Lin walked into the White Tiger Hall, at this time Liu Shouyou had already stood up from the public seat, so he went to the court as usual, reported his resume, and said that he would see the Governor of the Governor.
Liu Shou was very well measured, Qin Lin had just bent his knees down, and before he was short, he took a step forward and supported him with both hands, and said with a smile: "General Qin has made outstanding achievements, and this official has been a god for a long time, why bother to make this great gift?" β
All the officials on both sides of the Jinyi Hall, with titles ranging from commanders to commanders, were secretly taken aback when they saw this: after Liu Dudu was a famous minister, the shelf has always been very large, and the new officials have always performed full salutes when they arrived.
As everyone knows, if it weren't for Qin Lin having already married two wives, Liu Shouyou thought that most of his subordinates and the daughter of the Prime Minister would have no chance, Qin Lin didn't even have to bend his knees, but Liu Shouyou would have to go to the yamen to greet him!
