Zhang Yue is about the same age as Zhu Zhanji.

Before Zhu Zhanji was canonized as the grandson of the emperor, he also went to the palace school with other princes and princes.

Although Zhang Yue is of high seniority, he is young, and he also plays with their grandchildren.

Others are smart, but they hate to learn those eight-strand texts at a glance, the Zhang family is a family of military generals, and he has won the trust of Emperor Yongle, Zhang Yue started fighting without saying a word, and he has not helped Zhu Zhanji fight.

Later, when Zhu Zhanji was ten years old, he was crowned the emperor's grandson and had his own special grandson. Emperor Yongle chose two children from the family to be his companions, and just chose Zhang Yue.

The time the two have been together longer than all of Zhu Zhanji's own brothers.

It's just that after the age of sixteen, he entered Jinyiwei and followed Emperor Yongle, so he had less contact with Zhu Zhanji.

However, this time, Zhang Yue miscalculated.

He went back a little bit and went to a small banner, just ten people, and the captain of the small flag was called Sheng Yonghua, all of whom had been with him for several years. Sheng Yonghua knew that Zhang Yue and Hu Yanjin were good, and it was impossible that he didn't know how to do it.

What Zhang Yue didn't expect was that the emperor also appointed a new one, Jin Wuwei, who had just entered the palace, as the chief of the Jinyi Guard, that Luo Yi.

He was the fifth son of the faithful Elojian, and he did not know anyone before he entered the ranks. When he first arrived, he only recognized one person, and that was the emperor.

Sheng Yonghua didn't have a problem, the official level crushed people to death, especially in the Praetorian Guard. He had no choice but to take nine lieutenants under his command and obey him.

They were a group of 12 people, and they were on an official boat, and there were no people from the Cao Gang on it.

Hu Yanjin stood at the bow of the boat, just after the rainy season, the cold wind was blowing in his face, and the chill of early spring was constantly rising in the friction between the boat and the river.

"My lord, it's cold outside, you still go and sit inside, if you blow the disease, our Lord Zhang won't swallow me alive?"

Sheng Yonghua looked at the air and whispered a few words to Hu Yanjin.

Hu Yanjin smiled: "Oh? Does he often devour people raw? ”

"Not often, just occasionally."

The two entered the cabin, and Hu Yanjin suddenly felt much warmer.

The Jinyi Guards were still different, their ships were changed by two shifts of people, and they traveled day and night every day, and the speed was amazing.

Hu Yanjin asked Luo Yi: "Isn't it forbidden to sail at night on the Cao River?" Isn't it easy to have an accident if you don't have a good line of sight? ”

Luo Yi snorted out of his nose: "Don't be a brocade guard if you're afraid of death."

Hu Yanjin was really emotional, where did the emperor dig up such a treasure that is not afraid of death?

Day and night, in only eight days, they arrived at Anpingyi in Baoying County.

The post station had already been notified, and they had already prepared fast horses for them, and they rode on their horses and went to Baoying County.

"Sheng Yonghua, you will only go to the county government and the county order, so as not to have unnecessary conflicts, the rest of the people, follow Lord Huyan to the inn to wait, I will go to the private school to inquire first, and then come back and meet you."

After entering the county seat, Luo Yi didn't ask Hu Yanjin's opinion, and directly gave an order.

Hu Yanjin secretly shouted that it was not good, this was not given at all, and he had no time to greet Mr. Wu.

The inn they went to was not far from Wangnan Academy, and Hu Yanjin picked a table near the window and sat down.

It's been a long time since Bao Ying, the street is still the same, Hu Yanjin remembered that Hua Qiao was walking on the street at that time, and he couldn't help but smile when he wanted to run but was afraid of not being reserved.

Sure enough, people who love to laugh will have good luck, Hu Yanjin saw a person walking on the road, that person was fatter than before, with a bookbag under his arm, unexpectedly, he was really still preparing for next year's township exam.

"Second Brother Xu!" Hu Yanjin greeted with a smile.

Xu Zhiheng's prestige came, and he couldn't help but be surprised! This is an official who is older than the third brother.

Because Xu Zhijin was an official in the capital, all the business in the city was placed in the name of his eldest brother Xu Zhihua, and he separated from them.

Xu Zhiheng lived in the old house with his parents, living on land rent and rent.

But this also made them, a farmer, wear clothes made of brocade silk, and their mother was simply grateful, in addition to changing the family's clothes for four seasons, she also urged Xu Zhiheng to study and prepare for the exam every day.

"Ahhh Huyan ......"

Hu Yanjin interrupted him with a "shhh

He lowered his voice and said excitedly, "My lord, are you here to come to the nest of the county order?" It's good to come! The people of Baoying are saved! ”

"Prefectural order? We're just passing through here, and we don't know what's going on here, so tell me about it. ”

When Hu Yanjin saw Xu Zhiheng, he didn't actually have any particularly good ideas, and when Xu Zhiheng talked about the county order, he had a way.

Xu Zhijin likes the person who lets him talk the most, because when he is at home, his father and mother always tell him to "shut up".

He smiled and said, "My lord, if you ask me, I'll be right, there is nothing in Baoying County that I don't know!" ”

"Didn't you just say it yourself? What did Baoying County make him do that you hated so much? ”

Hu Yanjin is the right inspector of the Inspectorate, and he has the responsibility to supervise the performance of the current officials.

What's more, this is the territory of the buckwheat, and although the annual tax collected is not as good as the eldest princess's own income, it is also an income given to her by her father.

The point is that as long as something comes out, it is easier than a pool of stagnant water to create a chance to help Mr. Wu escape.

Multiple factors made Hu Yanjin excited and chatted with Second Brother Xu.

"You know, Baoying is now the head of the Yan County Order, and in the past two years, the Yongle Dynasty has been changed to the Hongxi Dynasty, the Hongxi Dynasty has been changed to the Xuande Dynasty, and the Beijing division and local officials have changed repeatedly, especially ...... Nanjing officials! ”

Hu Yanjin nodded, yes, Yangzhou belongs to Nanzhili and is directly managed by Nanjing.

"This official comes and goes, a position, often have to repeat the filial piety of two or three different people, the silver in the hands of Yan County Ling is definitely not enough to spend, but the eldest princess's share cannot be less, he only comes to double the oppression of our people."

Xu Zhiheng said with a sad face:

"Our Xu family is the richest man in Baoying, and there are even more people who have been squeezed out. My father and I are farmers, and the third child is a Beijing official, so we survived, but my eldest brother was miserable, he was a merchant, and he separated from us, and he worked for nothing for the past two years. ”

"That's easy to do, I asked the Inspectorate to come to check the accounts of Yan County's order, the emperor hates bribery the most, especially to strictly investigate the yamen in Nanjing, Yan County's order knows the law and violates the law, so he can't eat and walk around. But ......"

Xu Zhiheng, who was rubbing his hands excitedly, hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

"You'll have to light a fire for me, though."

Hu Yanjin's idea was already spinning in his mind: first build momentum to save Mr. Wu, and then investigate the Yan County Order by himself, so that in front of the emperor, he would not find any flaws.

Xu Zhiheng smiled and said, "Hehe...... My lord, are you kidding me? In broad daylight, how dare the grass people set fire? ”

"It's not for you to really set fires, it's for you to fan the flames among the people of Baoying, so that everyone can rise up against the strict county order and increase taxes, then the official will have a reason to intervene."

"Oh...... Yeah! Reasonable! It makes so much sense! Xu Zhiheng narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"I'm going to beat the gongs and drums!"
