Zhang Dejun waited a little impatiently in the room.

He didn't know why Xu Yongzhi still wanted to ask Zhenzhen what he thought.

In Xu Yongzhi's eyes, Zhenzhen is a woman, if you want to marry a woman, then you have to get the consent of others and forcibly force you to marry, that is, if Old Man Fan forcibly marries Duan Meimei, he is a villain.

No way, because our Xu Gongzi grew up in a community like Linquan Town, where there are no slaves, and he does not recognize the ownership of one person over another.

But in Zhang Dejun's eyes, Zhenzhen is first and foremost a maidservant, that is, a "slut".

This word is not used for swearing, but is a legal term.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the law has basically not changed much, and the Song law in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty is basically the original Tang law, in which people are divided into "good people" and "sluts".

If you sign a deed of sale and become a slave, you are a slut.

The status of the slave and maid is very low, the master wants to beat you and scold you, you can't resist, the master does not go through the government to kill the slave and maid who made a mistake, and beat the slave and maid with a rod for a hundred times (the actual execution is about a dozen times), if the slave and maid are not guilty, the master will also be sentenced to a maximum of one year in prison, that is, one year of hard labor.

If the slave or maid injures the master, then it will be troublesome, and the punishment will be increased, and if the master is killed, it will be a heinous sin, and it will not be the turn of amnesty for such sinners.

If a slave wants to restore a good name, he must redeem himself, but this is not a matter of tearing up the deed of sale, in addition to asking for the master's permission, he also has to operate with the government.

Someone must have thought of this.

A beautiful maidservant girl is accepted by the master, can she be majestic?

It's really not, there can't be intermarriage between good and low.

When a child is born, it is counted as a child of a wife.

If it is a slave and maid, then it can never become a wife, and those who take concubines and maids as wives will be investigated and dealt with by the government in the Tang and Song dynasties - "two years of apprenticeship".

It is a greater sin than the death of a handmaiden.

Zhang Dejun meant, Xu Yongzhi called Zhang Dahu and asked him to hand over Zhenzhen's deed of sale, and the matter was over, so he saw Xu Yongzhi running to discuss with the slave maid, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

One thing Zhang Dejun didn't think clearly was that he was also a slave of the official family.

Strictly speaking, he should also be a lowly status, just because the official family is the Son of Heaven, so the slave of the official family also has the attribute of a state functionary.

He was a little restless, Zhenzhen asked Xu Yongzhi if he was afraid of Zhang Dejun, in fact, Zhang Dejun was more afraid of Xu Yongzhi.

Zhang Dejun tried his best to show his strength to all the mid-level military attachés, but the civil officials and the jiedu did not dare to provoke, he knew his own catties. But he is actually unsure of his prestige and power.

It's like a poor child who suddenly inherited an inheritance of 10 billion, and he didn't know how to spend it at all, whether to buy roasted yam or sugar gourd, he couldn't get it for sure.

He explored with trepidation, tasted the sweetness, and continued to imitate this pattern, touching it a little bit, and it was much more honest.

He was actually very afraid that Xu Yongzhi would really take out the majesty of his eldest brother and scold him, but Xu Yongzhi was very polite, which gave him the illusion that he might really be quite powerful.

In fact, Xu Yongzhi despised him as a person, and was unwilling to hand him over or teach him.

You are polite to me, I am polite to you, I would rather pay some money than have a relationship with you.

From this point of view, Zhang Dejun's income is 500 yuan, and the loss can be described as quite huge.

He nervously stroked the wine glass until Xu Yongzhi knocked on the door outside.

"Well, come in." Zhang Dejun put away the urgency.

Xu Yongzhi came in with Zhenzhen's hand, which surprised Zhang Dejun very much.

"Brother, I just talked to Zhenzhen carefully, and I have a proposal." Xu Yongzhi said with a smile.

"What's the proposal, brother?" Zhang Dejun's face was not very comfortable.

"I will help Miss Ah Zhen redeem herself, and then think that my righteous sister, I will accompany a dowry to let her marry your brother." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What!" Zhang Dejun was taken aback.

The redemption also has to be 500 yuan, and the dowry will accompany another 500 yuan, Xu Yongzhi's money is not less.

The first thing Zhang Dejun does is the economic account.

"Brother is gracious, it's just that this matter of redemption has to go through the government, and the number of people in Kaifeng Mansion who redeem himself every year is limited, and the number is only shaken once a year in autumn, it's difficult......" Zhang Dejun seems to have inquired about this kind of thing early.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Kaifeng Mansion is difficult, this Zezhou Mansion, my brother is still a thorn in history, and the seal has not been handed over yet! What is there to use power for personal gain for such a good deed! Xu Yongzhi has already thought about it, this is the confidence.

"That's right!" Zhang Dejun slapped his thigh.

Zhenzhen came over and bowed down to Zhang Dejun Yingying.

"Official."

This is the moment when Zhang Dejun is so happy that he goes crazy.

He was poor since he was a child, his mother remarried, and he also changed his surname to Zhang, and even his name was casual. The stepfather said, "This kid is very handsome, let's call him Zhang Dejun." ”

His stepfather did raise him, and Zhang Dejun was already a tall and sturdy guy in his teens.

Of course, his stepfather did not allow him to compete with his younger brother for the family property, so he tried his best to send him out, but his mother's words were useless, so he had to let him go out to find an opportunity.

He came to Bianliang and wanted to join the army, but he saw a yamen who was also recruiting, and the conditions were attractive:

Uniform work

The lure of high salaries

No need to stab

5 in the morning and 4 in the evening

Priority is given to recruiting Henan people.

In all dynasties, the eunuchs were looking for people near the capital, such as the eunuchs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the majority of Hebei, because of the proximity of the language, the later Zhou Dynasty was Kaifeng, and the eunuchs were mainly from Henan. Zhang Dejun didn't know how to read, he didn't know that he was recruiting an internal servant, he was from Shaanzhou, Henan, and felt that he could go in and see the opportunity.

When I went in to consult, I found that I was entering the palace as a chamberlain, and I wanted to leave but couldn't. A few fathers-in-law held him down.

"Why don't you want to be a chamberlain?"

"I don't want to be a chamberlain!"

"You look down on the chamberlain, don't you?"

"It's not! Definitely not! ”

"Bring it in!"

After the knife fell, the head of the chamberlain asked the name of the dying young man.

Zhang ...... Dejun. ”

"What kind of fox name is this!" The leader was changed to Zhang Dejun.

From this point of view, no matter how many people say good things about Da Zhou and think that Chai Rong is a good emperor, Zhang Dejun can only be hesitant, and his life was forcibly changed by Da Zhou's attendants.

He was beaten and scolded by the master (yes, the eunuch also has a master and apprentice), was punished by the chief eunuch to kneel, and was later photographed by Zhao Kuangyin, he gained the respect and fear of others from Zhao Kuangyin's trust.

He began to pretend, even to Xu Yongzhi.

How many people call him father-in-law, but for the first time in his life, someone called him "official", Zhang Dejun had an illusion, his broken life, scattered fate, and broken limbs were all healed at this moment.

He helped Zhenzhen up.

"Brother." Zhang Dejun knelt on the ground and hugged Xu Yongzhi's thigh, tears raining down.

"I ...... Wrong. ”

He meant it.

It's a pity that Xu Yongzhi won't trust him as much as before.

"Brother, get up, don't talk to the two families, I'll go to Zhang Dahu in a while, redeem the contract, and go through the corresponding procedures." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Zhenzhen ......," Zhang Dejun said as he looked at Zhenzhen.

"Do you want to talk well? The brother went first. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Don't," Zhang Dejun stopped Xu Yongzhi, "Zhenzhen, you go out first, and I'll say a few words to my brother." ”

Zhenzhen said a blessing, closed the door and went out.

"Brother, you know about Wang Quanbin's robbery." Zhang Dejun said.

Xu Yongzhi secretly thought in his heart, Zhang Dejun, a kid, still didn't treat me as his own person.

"Let me ask you, you said to help me keep an eye on Wang Quanbin and not let him come late, why was he so late later?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"I did push him forward, but it was also true that he was harassed by enemy troops along the way. He doesn't dare to be really late and put you in danger. Zhang Dejun said.

"." Xu Yongzhi said.

Half an hour ago, it was Zhang Dejun who was suppressing Xu Yongzhi, and now, it has completely become Xu Yongzhi suppressing Zhang Dejun.

"They are all people who understand, you tell my brother the reason, I am really related to you, can I blame you?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Brother, to be honest, although I am a prisoner, I am young, and I can't control a veteran like Wang Quanbin." Zhang Dejun said.

"This is between brothers, so why do you excuse him?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"How can I hide this for Wang Quanbin? He sent me money, but I didn't dare to accept it, so I handed it over to the official family, but the official family said that Wang Quanbin's matter was over here, and he didn't let me impeach him, and the official family said that he would go to talk to Wang Quanbin. Zhang Dejun said.

Xu Yongzhi probably understood, this was his own statement, he would rather impeach Wang Quanbin to kill the prisoner, to leave room for the other party, Zhao Kuangyin fulfilled this matter, and held down Zhang Dejun.

Zhang Dejun didn't know the internal situation, and thought that Xu Yongzhi had fallen out of favor, so he was a little disrespectful to Xu Yongzhi.

"Dejun," Xu Yongzhi said, "do you think I've fallen out of favor?" ”

"Brother don't dare!" Zhang Dejun was already close to pleading.

"Tell you, I have no problem with my relationship with the official family, and my letter can be written directly to the official family - instead of the fold, do you know what I mean?"

"Brother forgive me!" Zhang Dejun said.

"Get up," Xu Yongzhi said, "you have been misled or instigated by someone." ”

"King ...... Jin" Zhang Dejun wanted to speak and stopped.

"What did King Jin say?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

King Jin said...... The queen seems to be very dissatisfied with her brother......" Zhang Dejun said.

Today's empress surnamed Wang, virtuous by nature, is a most filial woman, Xu Yongzhi has also seen it on Chinese New Year's Eve, and is commensurate with her sister-in-law.

Since she became the queen, she has always been in the deep palace and does not go out, and she does not ask for news, how can she be dissatisfied with Xu Yongzhi?

There is only one possibility, that is, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, is letting this wind out.

Xu Yongzhi's speculation is not wrong.

The queen's younger brother, Wang Jixun, is the bully who forcibly married the daughter of the beggar gang leader, the golden civet slave.

After the uncle was cut off by the Jin gang leader, he was thrown on the street, and Jin Jiu hid his family to Dongting Lake in Yuezhou.

Of course, the Wang family refused to give up.

The old lady went directly to the palace to see her daughter, the queen's younger brother was castrated, this castration is the lifeblood of the uncle, and it is the face of the Great Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Queen Wang completely ignored this matter.

"My brother has been eating and drinking and beating people, not for a day or two, I have told my father and mother several times that I want to take care of this devil, and now I am forcibly murdering, and I am tossed like this, and now I want my daughter to come forward and tell the official, how can I be embarrassed to speak? You go and report to the official, I don't care. ”

The old lady hurriedly went to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Jin King Zhao Guangyi also attached great importance to it, and hurriedly sent Zhao Hu to investigate, knowing that it was the beggar gang that did it, and probably figured out the reason, but if Jin Jiu was arrested, the beggars in the city rioted, and the Kaifeng Mansion Yin was also going to get out of class, but it was important to find a culprit and let the Wang family resent it, so Zhao Guangyi thought of Xu Yongzhi.

Zhao Guangyi told the old lady of the Wang family that the person who did it was Xu Jin's godfather, and they had also done business together. At the same time, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed the rumors of the resentment between the queen and Xu Jin to the chamberlain, causing trouble for this person.

These things will not be known until Xu Yongzhi is later, but he understands that Zhao Kuangyi should have found out about the eunuch Santie, but there is no evidence, so he can't find his bad luck.

"I see, I haven't been in Tokyo for a few months, I didn't expect it to be so lively there." Xu Yongzhi said to Zhang Dejun.

"So my brother thinks that my brother has made a lot of contributions, but he didn't build a festival, which should offend ......the queen," Zhang Dejun said.

"Brother," Xu Yongzhi patted Zhang Dejun on the shoulder, "One of the most important virtues of the chamberlain is not to guess, understand?" ”

"Brother, I understand ......," Zhang Dejun said.

"You are much more familiar with how virtuous the queen is." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'm damned!"

"She won't interfere in these things at all, and there may be a misunderstanding here." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Dejun said.

"Also, you can only serve one king, you know?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Brother, do you mean ......," Zhang Dejun said.

"King Jin is the younger brother of the official family, but no one is an official family, they are all outsiders." Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhang Dejun seemed to see a huge shadow unfolding in front of his eyes.

He was already regretting his previous disrespect to Xu Yongzhi.
