(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )
"Lord Zhou, this is the way it is, now I need you to send someone to take over the Big Buddha Temple, I will take the bearded man first." Zhang Renjie, accompanied by Zhou County's order, went into the city for a meal and told the details of the incident at the wine table. This is also Zhang Renjie's determination that the whole matter has nothing to do with Zhou County's order, otherwise they would have been arrested together before, which would be convenient and trouble-free.
Zhou Xianling didn't have any appetite at all, and kept drinking with him. After hearing this qiē, he was also in a cold sweat. "I really didn't expect that Zhu Garrison actually fornicated with bandits, this kind of person is really a thousand knives, and it is even more hateful than the bandits themselves!" Speaking of this, Zhou Xianling gritted his teeth and continued: "Lord Zhang, I have a reluctant request, and please make it convenient!" ”
Zhang Renjie had already sensed something from his previous appearance, but in combination with the matter of suppressing bandits, his mind was clearer. "This matter itself has nothing to do with Lord Zhou, I will truthfully report the matter of Zhu Shoubei, and will not implicate Lord Zhou, you can rest assured."
"This" Zhou County Ling knew that Zhang Renjie understood his thoughts, but it seemed that he was still unsatisfied.
To be honest, Zhang Renjie still has a good impression of this Zhou County Order, these days in Funing, knowing that Zhou County Commander is at least not a treacherous person, and he has not oppressed the people, most of the time he can be the master of the people, such a good official is really rare. And looking at his appearance, he can barely be regarded as personable, and he must also be from a big family. When he was less than 30 years old, he was released to be a parent official, which could not be done just by taking the Jinshi examination. "Lord Zhou, we've known each other for a few days, and to be honest, we're quite compatible. This time, Lord Zhou also made great efforts to exterminate the bandit of the old hammerhead, and the name of Lord Zhou was also on the official document submitted to the army! ”
Zhou County's order was a little surprised, what is this for? Showing favor to him? It seems that his identity has not been revealed to anyone! "Lord Zhang, what are you?"
"I said it all, we both fell in love. Now there are not many officials in the Qing Dynasty who can do this, not to mention that many officials are in charge of the people, but it is already rare to be able to not oppress the people and not loot the people's fat and ointment, so I am willing to make you a friend, I don't know if Lord Zhou can look down on me as a martial artist?! Zhang Renjie said with a smile and a wine glass.
Zhou Xianling was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this was the case, it seems that this young Zhang Dusi is also a lover. "I can't ask for friends with Master Zhang!" As he spoke, he also picked up his wine glass, the two looked at each other and smiled, and drank all the wine in the glass.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Renjie immediately said: "Lord Zhou, since you are already a friend, you are always shouting like Lord Zhou, it's not good!" I came straight to Funing before, but I haven't inquired about the name of Zhou County's order, it's really a sin! ”
"Oh, hehe, the virtuous brother hasn't reached the crown yet, your name is like thunder in the entire Huai'an Mansion, Zhang Renjie, the young master of the Qinghe Zhang family, but he is known as the first hero of Huai'an Mansion! I, surnamed Zhou Mingrui, the word Zhichang, Xianfeng was born in four years, his ancestral home is Minhou County, Fujian, and his father is now a Taoist in Shanghai! ”
"Ling Zun is Shanghai Daozhou Daotai?! Disrespectful, disrespectful! The younger brother was born in the third year of Tongzhi, and he will be crowned after the New Year. is still a brother, and he has been on the emperor's list before he is thirty, although the younger brother reads all night, but he does not have that patience. I had no choice but to abandon literature and military service, and wanted to serve the country from another way! By the way, since Ling Zun is a Daotai lord, why don't you choose to be transferred to Shanghai Dao as an official, you must know that Shanghai is now one of the most important areas in the country, where you can get in touch with foreign affairs, which is very beneficial to Brother Zhou's future development! "Zhang Renjie really underestimated this Zhou County Commander, but he didn't expect people to be so big.
Zhou Rui waved his hand: "Foolish brother just doesn't want to take refuge under his father's wing before he goes to northern Jiangsu as an official, so as not to be talked about by others." Besides, I am also young, and now I have experienced experience in the local area, which will be more beneficial to me in the future. This time, Brother Fool also wants to thank Brother Xian, I wish the garrison colluded with the bandits, although there is no direct contact with me, but after all, it is under my rule, and I can't escape responsibility. ”
"Okay, Brother Zhou has this ambition to be a feudal official in the future, and it is not delusional to enter the cabinet. The younger brother has to rush to the Shanyang Mansion, so he won't stop. When the elder brother is empty in the future, welcome to Zhangjiazhuang as a guest, and the younger brother will definitely sweep the couch to greet him! "The meal is almost finished, and although the two of them have a good chat, they can't delay time.
"It's okay, I'll definitely go there when I'm free, I also want to see what is special about the place that can cultivate such a talented person." Zhou Rui said with a smile.
Outside the West Gate, more than 300 soldiers had already finished eating. More than a dozen restaurants in the city boiled the pot to cook at the same time, and all the big pots were ready and carried outside the city. Zhou County's order is also to befriend Zhang Renjie, and all the hard dishes prepared can make the soldiers full.
Unlike when he originally came, four more people were added to the team, the most important of the four was the Bearded Zhu Garrison, and the remaining three were his cronies. Most of the things between the bearded man and the old hammer will not be contacted by himself, so his cronies will become the people who pass the word in the middle.
The Renzi Battalion team walked slowly for two days, and when they entered Shanyang County, they were blinded again. Zhang Renjie didn't ask the soldiers to hide anything, the team drove neatly into the county seat, and the bandits who were captured in Funing in the middle were the ones who were captured on this trip. From the beginning of the extermination of several small groups of bandits, and then the bandits, including the old hammerhead, went out to shoot and killed, and a total of sixty-three people were escorted here.
The prefect's yamen and the Caoyun governor's palace were all alarmed, and the prefect Qian Rongfeng got the news and personally brought people to greet him at the door of the yamen. Qian Rongfeng was of course not interested in the grain and grass obtained from the extermination of the bandits, but he was interested in gold and silver. Zhang Renjie was not ready to swallow all the things alone, and the several large boxes of silver on the accompanying carriage were for distribution to the officials above. When Zhang Renjie came to the mansion and the bandits were taken to the prison, two carriages were also pulled into the backyard of the mansion.
Qian Rongfeng is about forty years old, with a fair complexion, about the same height as Zhang Renjie, and his body shape should be called a beautiful man of this era. Zhang Renjie and he met him once, and this was the second time they had met.
"I've seen Lord Qian!" Zhang Renjie had already dismounted before he arrived at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Qian Rongfeng at the door to greet him, he immediately walked forward a few steps and saluted.
Qian Rongfeng is also very happy, after all, Zhang Renjie is also an official of Chu Wanli's department, Zhang Renjie is capable, and he will also follow the light, not to mention that he can get a lot of benefits this time. "Lord Zhang is a hero, the Dragon King of Hongze Lake, the old hammer head of Funing, the Yancheng Turning the Sky Jiao plus the Taoyuan Meng Laohu, the four bandits in my Huai'an Mansion were eliminated by you alone, this is also the best gift to me when I took office! Come on, come on, hurry into the house, the official has prepared wine for you to catch the wind and wash the dust! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Renjie is not uncomfortable, the noble and martial arts are not something he can change immediately if he wants to, he is a fourth-grade military attache still has to keep saluting, and he is very humble.
"I'm here to introduce you. The one on my left is Lord Liu, the Tongzhi of Huai'an Mansion! The beautiful bearded man on the right is Qu Tongju, and on the right is Professor Shen of Fuxue, several of them heard that you have exterminated a group of bandits, and they came to greet you, and they also want to see what kind of young talent we have produced in Huai'an Mansion! As soon as Zhang Renjie climbed the steps, Qian Rongfeng began to introduce. It's already evening, and several people don't wear the official mansion, Zhang Renjie really doesn't know that these people are also the most important people in Huai'an Mansion!
