Yunfu, a scholar in Jiao Fang's family, abducted a lot of gold and silver and fled, and there was a mess up and down, and the housekeeper Li An even wanted to report to Shun Tianfu for a while, but he was forced to press down on Jiao Fang.

Zhang Cai was impeached by the imperial history because of the reversal of the election method, although Ma Wensheng tried his best to defend it, and then it was a good way to keep it, but Zhang Cai still begged to go, and now it is Jiao Fang, the official servant, who is in charge of the anthology. It is said that Zhang Cai's fall from power, and the impeachment of the latter was given to the middle of the matter and the imperial history, and Jiao Fang added fuel to the fire.

Early in the morning, after receiving these two pieces of news sent by Huitong, Xu Xun was surprised for a while. When the West Factory was first built, the manpower was far from sufficient, so even the capital could not be exhaustive, and Huitong would stare at Jiao Fang, naturally because of him. He had been to Jiao Mansion a few times, but he didn't pay attention to any scholars, and Huitong's intelligence specifically noted that the identity of this Yunfu was suspicious, and Jiao Fang was once a strange thing, so he had to take it seriously.

As for the other news, he is even more nameless. Ma Wensheng and Jiao Fang do not agree, that is because the surnames of the two are far from each other, and Jiao Fang has long been eyeing Ma Wensheng's throne of the Ministry of Officials. But Zhang Cai is a literary anthology, and he is of the same nationality as the two of them, and it is said that he has almost been working in the ministry since he joined the office, so how can he hinder Jiao Fang's affairs? Or is it because Ma Wensheng values Zhang Cai, because Jiao Fang is jealous of his ability? But that old guy is so shrewd that he shouldn't be so short-sighted!

Xu Xun, who couldn't figure out the essentials, naturally didn't know that Jiao Fang had the intention of squeezing out Zhang Cai because of Di Luo's suggestion not long ago - Jiao Fang obeyed his words when he hired people at that time, but now that the incident happened, he naturally had to wipe all the clues clean, and Zhang Cai was just suffering from the pond fish. And Xu Xun paid more attention to the fact that Huitong deliberately drew a red vertical line on Zhang Cai's name, and noted a few lines of small characters next to it.

"Zhang Caitong has a military strategy, and he has played Ganliang military, which is quite praised by the bigwigs of the DPRK and China. Now this person is sick and idle, and the scholars think that he is of high character. However, his eunuch bag is quite rich, and he has also been impeached and polluted by ginseng. If the son has the law to ambush this person, he should be the only one to help. ”

"Zhang Cai, Zhang Cai......"

Xu Xun muttered this name, thinking in his heart that he might use the remaining time to impress this person's possible surname, but in the end he felt that it was too pessimistic. When he was hesitating, he reported that Xu Jing came to see him, so he put aside the matter for the time being and invited someone in, but he didn't want Xu Jingsan to go to Xuanfu to serve Wen Mu after a few polite words, and he shook his head after being stunned.

"Father Heng, I understand your kindness, but your illness has not yet healed, plus your talent is in poetry and books but not in the case, and you are not very proficient in military affairs, so it is useless to go to Xuanfu, but to toss yourself. If you want to help me, in addition to what I have told you before, there is one more thing that you can advise. I'm going to build a garden outside the city, but it's not easy to invite those famous gardeners in Jiangnan in a hurry, and the alarm is too great, you are an authentic Jiangnan person, and the Xu family is also a wealthy family in Jiangyin, you might as well make some efforts. ”

Xu Jing used to see powerful people who only spoke three points when they met people, although he was not used to Xu Xun, the straightforward proprietor, but these words revealed real concern, which made his heart warm. Therefore, for the design of the garden, he almost didn't think about it and agreed, and before leaving, he bowed deeply and said: "May the Lord go to Xuanfu all the way to Xuanfu safely and successfully!" ”

"Then I will accept your good words!" Xu Xun bowed slightly, and when he saw that Xu Jing was about to reach the door, he suddenly asked, "By the way, can Father Heng recognize Zhang Cai in the Ministry of Officials?" ”

Xu Jing didn't expect Xu Xun to suddenly ask this, turned around in a daze, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "My lord, forgive me, I don't know this Zhang Langzhong, and I have never taken a face." ”

Seeing that Xu Xun nodded and didn't ask any more, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "But I've heard that this Zhang Lang has a widow's disease, and he can't see beautiful women, and he often indulges in lust in Willow Lane of Flower Street when he was young." This thing was heard when I went to Beijing with Liuru to take the exam, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion of the Beijing Division often used to leave Mobao or drank flower wine there as a grand event, Zhang Cai was dressed in white when he took the exam, and his reputation was not small. ”

Although it is not as unruly as the late Ming Dynasty officials who talk about serious things and want to go to the Jiyuan Painting Boat, as long as they do not stay in the Jiyuan when they are not officially released, most of them will not care about this romantic crime. Xu Xun never thought that he could ask such a gossip, but he was surprised but couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and when Xu Jing retreated again, he couldn't help rubbing his chin and pondering.

Since there is such a weakness, then, we can think of a way...... He now has too few people on hand, and it is easy to train some officers and sergeants as a military general, but it is difficult to entrap civilian officials for his own use. It's like Wang Shouren is his friend, but Wang's father Wang Hua is in the middle, and he will never listen to him easily. It is still very early for Xu Zhenqing and others to become a climate, but Zhang Cai has already become a civil official at this level, but it is impossible to find it, and it is nothing to be counted if a few people are sick.

Anyway, one day is not enough, this time he can't count on this person, this matter can only let the monk out! As for going to Xuanfu, he still has to meet those two first, even if they haven't been in battle, but the nobles and nobles of the capital have a chain of interests in Xuanfu...... Thinking of this, he ordered people to invite Jing Bule, and after seeing the people away, he opened the curtain and went out to drink people, and when he saw a servant woman walking up quickly to salute, he said: "Go and tell the stable to prepare the carriage, and then go to Liu'an Xu Kun, let them go to the treasury to rummage through it, and see if there is a good gastrodia, and then there is the antler velvet of Liaodong, which is also equipped with a box." Also, let Jin Liu and Po pack up and go out with me to pay homage. ”

Ruisheng followed Xiao Jing, Tao Hong was not there, and the other two little guys still didn't believe Xu Xun too much, so Xu Liang or Xu Xun often accompanied Jin Liu Abao when he went out. At this time, Jin Liu greeted Xu Xun at the second gate and got into the carriage, and couldn't help but say with a courteous face that the visitors should also bring a few more family members, so as not to be underestimated, and when he saw a team of neatly dressed and energetic sergeants coming up to follow, he immediately closed his mouth, but secretly smacked his tongue.

In the past, his young master had always been low-key, almost never serving as a sergeant under his command, but now before he was going to Xuanfu, he suddenly became high-profile, obviously, the young master not only never fell out of favor, but was a saint!

Xu Xun first visited the British Gong Zhang Mao. Although Zhang Mao had never said a few good words to him in the Wenhua Hall before, in that kind of unclear situation, it was already kind to watch from the wall. So he smiled and sent the gastrodia that specializes in treating headaches and dizziness, and seeing that this prince smiled and accepted it, he said the purpose of this trip, but he came to inquire about those geographical key figures in Xuanfu. Zhang Mao originally thought that Xu Xun planned to borrow someone who was familiar with the geography and people of Xuanfu, but after hearing this, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

If you really want to inquire about the military situation of Xuanfu Wanquan, Xu Xun, who has a good relationship with Ye Guang under the command of Jinyi Wei, can not ask him, but now he asks, and the meaning of screening is only indispensable.

Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "Xiao Xu, you and the old man have a good time, is there any secret mission in the past this trip?" ”

"You really think highly of me, I'm a typical duck driven by those bosses, and it's too late to burn, where is there any secret mission." Xu Xun refused without saying a word, seeing that the expression on the face of the British Duke Zhang Mao was even more playful, he knew that the old slippery head in the army of the other party had recognized it, so he coughed dryly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the defeat of this Xuanfu, and thinks that it is a loss of opportunity rather than a death......

Saying this, Zhang Mao's face immediately changed. There were several generals who died this time, and there were many of them of good rank. If it is a death, then it will be generously compensated, and most of the military positions will be hereditary to children and grandchildren; But if it's a missed opportunity...... That is, it is to be judged according to the defeat of the battle. Think about what happened when Qiu Fu, who was crowned a duke after the Jing disaster, lost the battle, it was a family to win the title and settle Qiongzhou! And the dead are considered lost, and the living can have a good end?

If this is the case, there are still four or five generals who were collected after the death of his father Zhang Fu due to the Tumubao Incident, and there are four or five people at the level of thousands of households in the official residence of Xuanfu, and there are also two people at the level of commander and commander! So, Zhang Mao couldn't care about anything else for a while, first hurriedly begged for them, and then said a bunch of good things for them, and one person said it and praised it, not realizing that the conspiracy hidden in Xu Xun's smile succeeded.

After paying homage to the British Duke Zhang Mao, and then visiting Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, Xu Xun was much more refreshed. He had just recommended Xu Guangzuo to go to Beijing to manage affairs, and the Dingguo Mansion, which had been idle for many years, was finally looking forward to the dawn, and Xu Guangzuo was naturally even more enthusiastic about him. Even without Xu Xun's effort, this Dingguo Gong told him about his two shops that operated horses and furs in Xuanfu, and that he often traded with Mongolians when he was in the mutual market, and informed him of several industries such as two restaurants and a green building. Don't talk about me, the governors of the five armies all hope that you can hit it out. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said word by word: "I know that you are afraid of taking Yanche and a few of them, and if there is any mistake, we will not be able to get along with you." But I don't care about others, you must bring them with you. After all, he is the young master of the Dingguo Mansion, and the people below dare not slack off when they see him, and they may be able to help you when they get there! For me, it is better to have more sons than to have more sons who have nothing to do! ”
