The middle-aged man from Dongchang left with infinite resentment, but he couldn't do anything to the young official surnamed Yang.

Returning to the capital non-stop, he reported to his master as soon as possible, and the master who had never seen him just said lightly: "I know." ”

After the middle-aged man left, the mysterious master, who had covered his entire face in a cloak, also left the inn, went around in circles, and disappeared into the bustling street.

The house that has no plaque of the Dingbian Marquis Mansion looks a lot deserted, except for a few fixed acquaintances, others basically do not come to visit. In the past, others were willing to come to ask Zhang Ru to do things, but Zhang Ru was unwilling to see him, but now no one asks him to do things.

The one-armed young man at the door witnessed all this, and there was no sigh in his heart.

He's just a gatekeeper, and doing his part better than anything else.

Wearing a crimson official robe, Tobe Shangshu touched his goatee and came to the door proudly, and in his disdainful gaze, the one-armed young man took a step sideways and directly blocked Li Butang's way.

"No invitations, wait for the ceremony." The face of a young man with a disability is frosty.

He is not a politician, and he has heard of some things that happened in the court, so he has no good impression of Li Min, so naturally he can't talk about a good face.

Li Min played with a straight face: "You cheap servant, do you know who this official is." ”

The young man's face did not change: "No matter who you are, this mansion was given to the former border marquis by His Majesty today." You want to go in, you can. Take out the invitation, and I'll get out of the way at once; There is no invitation, after I pass it, my lord is willing to see you, and I will lead the way. ”

Li Min laughed angrily: "Hahahaha, what a Zhang Wenxuan, this way of controlling people, even the old man can't reach it." Okay, you go in and say that Li Gongmian, the secretary of the household department, asks to see you. ”

The young man with the broken arm turned around and entered the door with a cold face, and came out not long after. He leaned sideways and made a gesture with his remaining arm, and before Li Min could move, he had already walked into the door first.

He's fast, obviously on purpose. Li Min followed behind, and it didn't take long for him to feel exhausted, but fortunately, before he felt that he couldn't support it anymore, the place had already arrived.

In the living room, Zhang Ru tasted tea alone, and after seeing Li Min, he stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Li's visit to the Humble House really makes the Humble House shine!" Come, please sit and watch tea. ”

Li Min sat on the stool, panting like a cow, and it took a while before he eased up: "Wenxuan, the door in your house is more powerful than the ordinary door, and the old man will not let you in when he comes to see you." ”

As a dignified household secretary, Li Min's heart is really not big.

It's just a small dispute with a small person, he even forgot about business as soon as he entered the door, and the first thing he did was to sue Zhang Ru.

Although he no longer has any official position, and now he is only white, Zhang Ru has no plans to get used to Li Min.

Pretending not to hear Li Min's complaints, Zhang Ru said with a haha: "I don't know what Lord Li is doing when he comes to the door this time?" ”

Li Min coughed a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, it's just that you used to be a colleague, but now you are so depressed, passing by the door of your mansion, I came in to see you." Wen Xuan, you are still young now, don't lose confidence because of the ups and downs of the moment, maybe Your Majesty will remember your good intentions one day in the future. ”

Zhang Ru took a sip of tea with a smile: "Master Li is bothered, the ups and downs of the Huan Sea are nothing more than you come down and I go up, I go up and you come down." After this experience, the grass people knew the warmth and coldness of people. Even if His Majesty thinks of me as a down-and-out man in the future, I am afraid that I will not go out again.

People live and know enough.

Now I look at the flowers and plants in the house every day, tease the children, and go out to have a little wine with three or five friends when I have nothing to do, and my life is very comfortable.

The atmosphere of intrigue and intrigue in the officialdom is really not suitable for me, a vulgar martial artist. Tatar does not commit a day of offense, and Zhang Wenxuan does not wear armor for a day.

As for the things above the court, Zhang is already tired. ”

Li Min nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good." However, this time the official came, not to ask Wen Xuan for the same attitude. You also know that the official is the head of the household, and in recent years, the treasury has been empty, and those Qiu Ba in the frontier only know that they want the official to increase military spending.

They don't know the price of firewood and rice, but my poor family is overwhelmed.

I heard that Wenxuan has the Wenxuan number in his hand and controls a huge amount of money, but now that the national crisis is at hand, I wonder if Wenxuan can donate generously? ”

After talking for a long time, he finally showed his fox tail, Zhang Ru sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu's money is so easy to take?

However, he remained silent on the surface, and said with a haha: "Master Li, you are a little tormented by the grass people." Silver, trivial, this money is something outside the body, and it is not brought by life or taken away from death. As long as you open your mouth, as long as you open your mouth, Zhang Wenxuan will not put that little money in his eyes.

Come on, come on, there are three hundred and two taels of Ming treasure banknotes, you take it first, if it's not enough, send someone to come over tomorrow and talk to the grass people. ”

Hearing this, Li Min's face darkened.

Zhang Ru also said it very generously, which made him hold back the fire and didn't know how to release it.

Seeing that his face sank, Zhang Ru sneered in his heart: You think Lao Tzu doesn't know your thoughts, since you pulled down your cheeks and asked me for money, then I will give you money.

Pretending not to see Li Min's face, Zhang Ru said again: "The salary of this court is really a little low, and this is also to blame me." When I was in the court, I didn't have time to give some advice to His Majesty, and now in the opposition, even if I have the idea of giving advice, I am a little powerless. ”

Li Min suppressed the fire and said, "Wen Xuan, you should know what this official means. ”

Zhang Ru was stunned for a moment, and said with an ignorant face: "Forgive me, Lord Ministry, Zhang Wenxuan is just a vulgar martial artist, I really don't understand what Lord Ministries mean!" If the adult has something to say, as long as Zhang Wenxuan can do it, it is to go to the soup and go to the fire, and Zhang Wenxuan will also do it properly for the adult. ”

Li Min smiled dryly: "Okay, since Wenxuan is so refreshing, this official will also say it directly." Wenxuan, you are no longer above the court, no one knows whether you will be able to be a rich man safely in the future.

Someone asked the official to bring you a message, hand over the Wenxuan number in your hand, and the official will ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life.

If not, I am afraid that although this capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is not so peaceful.

I heard that there are bandits in Shandong, those people are all devils who kill people without blinking, offended these people, you are white, if you want to stay out of the matter, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing! ”

"Lord Ministry, I really misunderstood Wen Xuan, this silver matter should have been collected by the imperial court as soon as possible, but what can I do, I don't know which person actually made my big shopkeeper live and die. To be honest, Wen Xuan was above the court before, and he never cared about these businessmen. So much so that now except for the big shopkeeper, no one knows how much wealth the Wenxuan has.

The adult spoke on behalf of the imperial court, and Wen Xuan had a reluctant request, and asked the adult to fulfill it.

If the imperial court can find the big shopkeeper of the Wenxuan, let alone the Wenxuan, as long as it is something that Zhang Wenxuan has, if the imperial court wants it, just take it.

But now Zhang is also alone, and he has to rely on the brother of the former Jinyiwei to help him. I can't help the requirements of the ministers. ”

Li Min's eyes were glued to Zhang Ru's face, hoping to see something from his expression, but unfortunately, he watched it for a long time, and Zhang Ru didn't show anything on his face.

"You really don't know where the big shopkeeper of the Wenxuan is now?" Li Min asked with a frown.

Zhang Ru stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky, and cursed: "If Zhang has the slightest concealment, he will tell me to hit five thunders in the sky, and give birth to a son without an asshole." ”

People in this era still believe in oaths, so Li Min believed most of them on the spot. After all, Zhang Ru has always been in the capital, and Tianjin is so far away, if he is still the commander of Jinyiwei, he may be able to know. However, he is only a rich man now, and Li Min doesn't think he has the ability to know who did what happened over there.

"Vulgar." Li Min, who claimed to be a scholar, said disdainfully, and then got up and left directly.

Zhang Ru stood up and shouted a few words: "Lord Li, alas, Lord Li"

As soon as Li Min left, Zhang Ru's face immediately changed greatly, and his face was full of ridicule: "Hmph, if the people behind you don't come out, they want the money in my hand, which is quite beautiful." It's a pity that you, Li Min, are not qualified to wrestle with Ben Hou at all. ”

After returning home, after changing his clothes, Li Min secretly went to meet a person, and after retelling the conversation with Zhang Ru as it was, the person was furious.

"Stupid! Zhang Wenxuan made it clear that he was playing ball with you, and you actually believed his nonsense. Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the Hou Mansion's every move, even if a fly flies out, you can't let it go. In a fit of rage, Li Min's master scolded.

Li Min can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the court, but he doesn't even dare to say a word in front of this person, which shows how powerful this person is.

The man said: "Zhang Wenxuan is not a good person, I told you this a long time ago. If you can't finish the battle this time, you just wait to return home! ”

"Teacher, the public encouragement is wrong, please calm the anger." Li Min knelt in front of the man and kowtowed.

"That's it!" The man waved his hand impatiently: "Do your thing, you don't have to worry about the rest, the old man has his own clever plan." Since Zhang Wenxuan can't ask anything out of his mouth, you can find that kid from the Wang family. ”

Li Min stood up tremblingly and hurriedly ran outside.

Time is pressing, and now the emperor is still angry, if the emperor remembers that Zhang Ru is good one day, then all their efforts will come to naught.

In this kind of feudal society, this is often the case that the emperor's words can determine the rise and fall of a family, as well as the life and death of a person.
