On July 15, in Taoism, it is called the Midyear Festival, and in Buddhism, it is called Obon. But among the people, there are only two words that are conventional, and that is Halloween. Legend has it that this day is the day when the ghost door is opened, and the hundred ghosts walk at night, and the yin qi is the most abundant, which is the time to pay tribute to the dead. Therefore, someone once suggested in the middle of the road that it might as well be early or delayed by a day, and not arrive in Jingshi on this day. Although Wang Fulin is not a superstitious person, he also intends to be good, but after entering Jizhen, he realized what it means to welcome soldiers and horses, and he can't go fast or slow if he wants to.

Those who came back with him, in addition to the Shen family's uncles and nephews and several family members of the Shen family, as well as Li Erlong, Zhao Sanmazi and two veterans of the Zhejiang army, plus Feng Zhong and Liu Bo. Although the latter two were still prisoners of Xifengkou, Qi Jiguang personally handled it, and the three people, including Zhong Nanfeng, were put on the pardon list, so the two of them could not escape the fate of going to Beijing once. In addition, it is Fan Dou and Wang Siming.

Fan Dou and Mei's hard-working mandarin ducks still didn't succeed after all, Mei's body was too weak, and it was just the day when Wang Fulin returned to Shenyang before he died. For this reason, the relieved Shenyang Fan family hurriedly gave Zhang Luo the most magnificent funeral, of course, he buried the person alone in a feng shui treasure, and because Fan Che had no son at all, in the words of the clan elder, Fan Dou might as well pass on the past, so that he could sit on a rich family property, but Fan Dou was so spit that he hid his face and left. In the end, Fan Shen came forward to find an orphaned child in the family to inherit the heir, and at the same time took out a sum of money as compensation for Fan Dou, but Fan Dou donated it all to Shantang.

As for Mei's family members who only knew about bloodsucking and bullying, he didn't keep a penny. He resolutely caught up with Wang Fulin. Entered the Shanhaiguan.

And Wang Siming came to the public case of Fushun Customs with his back. Second, there is Zhang Xueyan's endorsement, so he did not return to the Liaodong General Military Mansion, and he was also among the entourage.

Fan Dou and Wang Siming both left Liaodong for the first time in their lives and entered Shanhaiguan, and Jingshi, who is known as the first city in the world, is even more unthinkable. Therefore, when they saw the outer city from afar, they only felt that their eyes were completely insufficient, and after entering the inner city through the Chongwen Gate Tax Gate, they were even more trembling. Fan Dou had at least heard people boast about how many dignitaries he had seen since he entered the Beijing Division. Wang Siming was already in Jianzhou Jurchen when he had a memory, and at first felt that it was a first-class Xiongguan in Fushun Pass, and when he arrived in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning, he was deeply shocked again and again, and now in the imperial capital, he finally realized what the concept of the people of the Ming Dynasty was.

Compared with this imperial capital, what Gule Village, what Hetuara City, even if it is the Haixi Jurchen Hada Division, its city is just a rammed earth city on a small mound!

A group of soldiers and horses sent by Jizhen to escort before. There were more than 20 people in total, and Wang Fulin knew that it couldn't be because of Qi Jiguang and Wang Daokun's personal relationship. Instead, he must have been ordered, which can be seen from the fact that Qi Jiguang did not show up from beginning to end, nor did he let them pass on the news. And those escorted soldiers and horses, sent them to the outer city of the capital division and returned home, so Shen Hu's coffin, watched by the two Shen family members who had never been out of Fushun Pass, paid a sum of money, and temporarily stopped at a temple in the outer city where the incense was withered, and there were only more than ten people left in their line at this time.

So, at the intersection of Dongjiang Rice Lane and Chongwenmenli Street, Wang Fulin couldn't help but stop his horse, and suddenly hesitated where he should go. He was not taken back for trial, so of course he was not accommodated in such places as the Fusi Imperial Prison, the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, and the Criminal Department Heavenly Prison. As for the post station, there was no official in his group, and he would definitely be kicked out if he went, and besides, he would mention what post station he had even brought up after entering the city. But if he goes home like this, it doesn't seem to be very good, and there are a lot of people in his group, the Ye family can't live there, and the Wang Mansion is not very good to take it in.

The most important thing is that he only thought that the soldiers and horses of Jizhen were ordered to "escort", and he had to be sent to the corresponding place before leaving, but who would have thought that people would go back at the city gate!

Such a large group of people pestle at the corner of the street, although it has been parked aside, it still attracted many complaints from passers-by. In addition, there are a lot of people in their group who wear hats, so they have also attracted a lot of suspicious eyes. So much so that Shen Yourong was embarrassed to ride his horse forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, isn't it okay to stop in this place where people come and go?" Isn't it good to find a random inn to stay? ”

Wang Fulin glanced at this handsome man who was both wise and brave, but not very sophisticated, and reluctantly said his worries. At this moment, Shen Yourong also tasted it, and quickly turned his horse's head to look at Shen Maoxue, but unexpectedly, Shen Maoxue was also frowning, obviously feeling that it was not appropriate to find a place to live casually. However, even if Wang Fulin is Wang Daokun's nephew, last year's Jinshi, but he has not yet been awarded an official, that is, there is no official government to which he belongs, this trip to Jiliao was originally completely for personal purposes, can he still go to where to report?

The two who have always been assertive look at me, and the rest of the people are even more clueless. Seeing that his group was about to become a beautiful scenery on Chongwenmenli Street, Wang Fulin suddenly had an idea. He immediately turned his head and said, "Let's go, go to Dashamao Hutong!" ”

For most people, this place name has no substantive meaning, and everyone is not very familiar with the place of Jingshi. But for Shen Maoxue, who has participated in the examination in the capital and heard many people mention the name of this place, it is really thunderous. and Li Erlong, who has a good memory, also widened his eyes at this moment, and exclaimed in disbelief: "The little official really wants to go there?" ”

"I know I definitely won't be able to see the main master, but anyway, I'll post a post!"

The others followed Wang Fulin, who was familiar with the road, for some reason, and after crossing the East Chang'an Avenue, and then going to the first two or three alleys, they turned west and passed a memorial arch, and as soon as they saw the guards standing along the root of the wall, some people began to beat drums in their hearts. Although these guards have no intention of blocking the way, they are bright and energetic, and they are not from ordinary backgrounds at first glance. And Shen Yourong had seen it once, and at this time he whispered to the others: "Everyone be careful, this seems to be Jinyiwei." ”

The legendary brocade guard!

Regardless of whether they are Hu Zongxian's personal soldiers, whether they have fought with Jinyiwei, or those who have only heard of Jinyiwei's infamy, most people feel that their scalps are numb. However, when everyone came to the gate of the largest mansion in this short alley, some people were stunned when they saw the words on the three five-frame gatehouses, some people almost fell off their horses because they couldn't hold on, and some people whispered to their companions to verify whether they were dizzy. And the most jaw-dropping is none other than Shen Yourong.

Zhang ...... Sheet...... Zhang University Scholar's Mansion? Shen Yourong looked at Shen Maoxue blankly, and stammered and asked, "Uncle...... Uncle, which Zhang University Scholar's Mansion? ”

"Although there is one more scholar Zhang in the cabinet now, but Shiqing will come to see him as soon as he returns to Beijing, which scholar Zhang can there be?" Shen Maoxue glared at Shen Yourong with hatred, and when he saw that the person was dumb all of a sudden, he remembered that the legendary Wang Fulin and Shoufu Zhang Juzheng had some unusual relationship. Seeing that Wang Fulin beckoned them to dismount together, and then walked to the gate alone to present a letter asking to see him, he thought that people would come back in a moment, who knew that the porter who welcomed the guests actually talked to Wang Fulin about something, and after a while, he ran inside. It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a silk shirt to greet him.

It was the first time You Qi had seen Wang Fulin, but the name had been callousing for a while, and he still remembered the unsuccessful calculation in Nanjing City before. Although this time is different from the past, he remembers that Wang Daokun does not seem to be very popular with his master Zhang Juzheng in recent months, but his consistent caution still makes him not easily slow down Wang Fulin's visit. The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng happens to be at home today, and several young masters are there, whether Zhang Juzheng sees it or not, he must report it. So, after greeting with a smile, he found that there was a group of people behind Wang Fulin, who were clearly dusty, and they had just entered the Beijing Division, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As soon as he entered Beijing, he went straight to Zhang University's Scholar's Mansion, except for the chief soldier and the governor, how many people have the guts? You know, this may not be a closed door, and it will also attract disgust!

Wang Fulin also saw that You Qi was close to himself there, but he didn't say a word about what really mattered, and then he realized that it was very likely that Zhang Juzheng was at home today, and it was impossible to say that he didn't have a little bit in his heart. His original plan was to put a post to test it and find an inn to stay in to find out the news, but now a large group of people are going to Zhang's house to pestle, and the meaning of spreading it is very different. However, even if it was self-defeating, it was impossible for him to turn around and leave at this time, so he could only deal with You Qi patiently there. As time passed, he felt that the possibility of seeing Zhang Juzheng was getting slimmer and slimmer, and he couldn't help but think about how to get out.

At this moment, he only heard an ouch behind him, and he was immediately overjoyed, secretly saying Who is so good at observing words and feelings, and at this time, the injury attacked? But when he looked back, he almost lost his breath and crooked his nose. But it turned out that the hat on Shen Yourong's head fell to the ground at some point, revealing the front half of the head that had just grown much hair, and the scattered hair on the back. Seeing that You Qi noticed this strange hairstyle, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't bother to explain it to such a big manager of Zhangfu, so he just smiled and passed it perfunctorily.

Just when he thought that this long wait was really endless, someone suddenly ran out quickly, and when he came to the door, he first smiled at You Qi, and then smiled at him: "Master Wang, master, please come in." ”

Whether it was Wang Fulin himself, You Qi, or those waiting in front of the door, they all couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. And after the servant who passed the word finished speaking, he shouted out of the door: "The master said, everyone can find a place to go, and tomorrow the Jinyi guard will come to the door to interrogate, just tell the truth as soon as the situation occurs." ”

When it came to this, Wang Fulin didn't bother to think so much. He has already been out of the way, what are you doing so much, it's not that he hasn't seen Zhang Juzheng, just say what he should say! (To be continued.) )
