The air in the inner room is humid, and the moisture that permeated the room when Han Amei bathed before has not yet dissipated, and there is even a faint fragrance of flowers, and women with high status always like to sprinkle some flower petals when bathing. Zhang Wen couldn't move his hands and feet, and was carried into the house by four women, his mouth was gagged, he couldn't speak, but his eyes were full of anger.

He felt very humiliated to be treated like this. He didn't expect Han Amei to do this, now he is tied up, his mouth is blocked, his struggle is useless, he can't scream, and Zhang Wen is so angry.

Zhang Wen struggled for a while, then gasped for breath, and he was never willing to do more to no avail.

Mu Xiaoqing stood next to him and frowned and said, "Cousin, let's let Master Zhang go, it's not good ......."

Han Amei's face was pale, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she immediately said faintly: "Zhang Wen is my man, what's wrong?" Mu Xiaoqing, don't say any more. ”

Mu Xiaoqing shook his head helplessly, turned around and left.

There were only Han Amei and Zhang Wen who were tied to the bed in the room, the two looked at each other silently for a long time, Han Amei sighed and suddenly felt a little tired, and she was no longer as tough as just now, so she sat down close to Zhang Wen.

"Zhang Wen, don't you really understand my friendship?" Han Amei didn't look at Zhang Wen either, staring at the teacup on the table and muttering to herself. With that, the tears in his eyes slid down his cheeks and soaked the skirt on his body. Tears hung on her beautiful face, making her even more pitiful. Zhang Wen suddenly felt that this woman was indeed very pitiful, her thin shoulders carried too much, she was helpless, and her only brother also died in a power struggle.

Zhang Wen's anger was extinguished all of a sudden, he looked at Han Amei and said softly, "It's not that I don't understand, since you know about Xiaoxuan, you should know that I Zhang Wen is the most affectionate, and I hate to trade with feelings." I can feel your sincerity to me, and after being together for so long, I am not without the slightest friendship for you, but it is precisely because of affection that I am unwilling to make a hasty decision. Our relationship is not a deal for you to buy and sell, and I don't want you to think that I married you for the sake of your power for the rest of your life. Zhang Wen gently hugged the holy aunt into his arms as if he made up his mind, patted her on the back and said, "Sister, I just want you to know that our friendship is not a transaction. ”

Han Amei's tears couldn't be stopped, she hugged Zhang Wen tightly, muttering Zhang Wen's name in her mouth, and her tears wet Zhang Wen's shoulders. "Zhang Wen, we don't make a deal, I just want to be with you." Han Amei grabbed Zhang Wen's arm and nervously waited for Zhang Wen's answer.

"Okay." Zhang Wen couldn't refuse anymore and nodded lightly.

Outside the window, the sun was falling, and the whole courtyard was quiet, only the birds could be heard chirping softly.

Zhang Wen said while wiping Han Amei's tears: "Not long ago, Ye Feng colluded with the White Lotus Sect to rebel, and he just caused a lot of trouble in the imperial court, and even the first assistant was beheaded!" Now that my relationship with you has spread, there is a lot of trouble, and it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of rebellion. ”

Han Amei listened to Zhang Wen talking about business, and sat up straight and said: "What's the matter with rebellion, they suspect you, you just rebel and take the world, you are the emperor, and I will be the concubine." ”

"Ye Feng is a lesson from the past, he was destroyed before he even came out of Fujian, how much more trouble can he make? Now rebellion is tantamount to death! You hurry up and prepare, we will go back to Zhejiang in the next two days, you go to live with Shen Biyao, I don't want you to stay here. You leave all the military affairs to Mu Xiaoqing to take care of, and I will mobilize the government troops into Fujian and calm Fujian first. ”

Han Amei looked at Zhang and asked, "Everything is arranged by you, Shen Biyao is not bad there, Shen Biyao and I already knew each other." ”

After this happened, Zhang Wen and Han Amei and their relatives became their own people, and a consensus was quickly reached on the matter of Zhao'an, so Zhang Wen and Han Amei and other henchmen went north to Zhejiang together. Huang Renzhi, Shen Jing, Zhang Zhao and other cadres are still waiting for Zhang Wen to come back in the governor's office. After Zhang Wen arrived in Wenzhou, he immediately discussed countermeasures with the subordinates, arranged personnel, and still handled the daily affairs of the Governor's Mansion with Huang Renzhi, Shen Jing was in charge of logistics, and Zhang Zhao was the main general, mobilizing the old department of Wenzhou Daying, Wenzhou garrison Xue Dayou's department, and the surrounding government soldiers, a total of more than 20,000 hybrid troops went south.

Zhang Wen asked Zhang Zhao to lead the army to occupy Jianning Mansion, and then stationed in Shaowu, and joined forces with Mu Xiaoqing's troops in Yanping Mansion to defeat the White Lotus Sect of the Han Sect Master. Now the strength of the White Lotus Sect has been greatly damaged, and it is completely unable to resist in the face of several times the strength of the official army. At the beginning of the lunar month, the official army occupied Tingzhou, the old nest of the White Lotus Sect, and burned down the Wannian Tower, and the Han Sect leader absconded. Zhang Wen ordered the officers and troops to take advantage of the victory to recover all the lost territory.

Zhang Wen didn't go to the battlefield, he was busy writing a recital to the imperial court, raising military expenses and other things. At the end of the first year of the Apocalypse, the official army recovered Fuzhou, and so far, Fujian has won a great victory. Zhang asked about the performance of the performance, and after discussing it with the staff, he handed it over to the Beijing Division. Fujian is far away from Beijing, and it is not easy for the court to understand the actual situation, and the recital of the feudal officials is a very important source of information.

Naturally, on the basis of maintaining the facts, the strategists of the governor of Zhejiang should try their best to write the chapter in favor of Zhang Wen. The defeat of Jianning Mansion was only written as a temporary defeat; Zhang Wen was not captured in embarrassment, but rode into the enemy camp alone regardless of his own safety, and the interests of the thief Kou Xiaozhi, saying that Mu Xiaoqing and his men and horses would join the court, and then cooperate with the officers and soldiers to destroy the biggest enemy Kou Yefeng, and capture the enemy alive, recover the lost territory in Fujian, and completely cut off the rebellion. In short, Zhang Wen put the country's social welfare first, worked hard, and finally completed the emperor's trust, Yunyun.

No matter how fanciful it is, it will be done in the end anyway, and this is commendable, if you don't destroy the traitor, it's useless to say anything.

Zhang Wen was still in Wenzhou, and he summoned Xue Keshou, the prefect of Wenzhou, to Fuzhou and asked him to go to Fuzhou to set up a political envoy and a yamen, temporarily acting as a political envoy in Fujian, and selecting officials to manage local government affairs.

Zhang Wen knew that Xue Keshou was more greedy and had nothing to do with the Qing officials, but Xue Keshou expressed his allegiance to Zhang Wen many times, and now Fujian is short of officials, Zhang Wen is stupid so that he doesn't need his own people, first let them temporarily act as local governors, and then submit them to the Ministry of Officials to decide, Fujian is so far away from Beijing, the central whip is beyond the reach of the chief, in order to stabilize the locality, it is possible to let the officials who temporarily serve continue to stay in office.

The prefect is a fourth-grade civil official, the political envoy is from the second grade, Xue Keshou is equivalent to a three-level promotion, although it is only temporary, but if Zhang asks how well he has done in the Wenzhou prefect and how much credit he has made in pacifying Fujian, he should be promoted if he can't find someone with the qualifications of a political envoy who is willing to go to Fujian to serve as an official in such a mess, he may admit Xue Keshou's official position. It is not easy to be promoted to the third level, if you don't know how young you are by just boiling your qualifications, Xue Keshou is naturally grateful to Dade.

At the beginning, Zhang Wen was trapped in Qian Yiqian's garden, this Xue Keshou did his best, Zhang Wen set up a governor in Wenzhou, and he should take care of it, so of course Zhang Wen will repay him.

When Xue Keshou left Wenzhou, Zhang Wen personally sent it to the post road pavilion, set up a table in the pavilion, and said goodbye to Xue Keshou and his staff and subordinates. During the banquet, Xue Keshou quietly stuffed a handful of silver tickets to Zhang Wen, and said: "The student's small meaning is not respectful, and I hope the adults will laugh and accept it." ”

Zhang Wen hurriedly excused himself back, shook his head and said: "I can't accept this, it's not a polite resignation, and we don't have to see the outside, what do we have to say in the open." Now that the situation in the DPRK is still unclear, even I don't know whether you, the temporary acting political envoy, can be regularized. At the beginning, the emperor ordered me to go to the south to preside over the military administration, and gave me the power to appoint and dismiss officials, but the issuance of documents and seals had to go through the Ministry of Officials. ”

Xue Keshou stiffened his neck and said: "My lord really sees it when he says this, this gift money is purely just a little filial piety from the student to the teacher." Even if you immediately knock the student right now and put the student down to be the magistrate, the student will still show respect. ”

Zhang Wen smiled after hearing this, and no longer shirked, he took the silver ticket and put it in his sleeve pocket, he picked up the wine glass and said: "The separation is imminent, and the official is waiting for the good news of Fujian Dazhi." ”

Xue Keshou drank it all in one gulp, "Do it first for respect, and the students will definitely live up to the trust of adults." ”

Zhang Wen put down his wine glass, sighed and said: "On the bright side, I, the governor of Zhejiang Province and the prime minister of the southeast, have incomparably beautiful military affairs, but the treacherous road in the world makes people walk on thin ice!" Last time, I stabbed the case of the West Lake Chess Gym, but I offended a lot of people in the court, it is easy to dodge with open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. ”

Xue Keshou had a big belly, his face was already red after a few glasses of wine, and the bumpy red bumps on his face were even bigger, but people who drank on their faces were the most able to drink, and blushing did not mean that they were drunk. Xue Keshou heard Zhang Wen's overtone, which was nothing more than saying that you may not be able to rely on me, Xue Keshou understood tightly in his heart, and immediately said: "The former first and auxiliary ministers have all been beheaded, where is there a ship in this officialdom that has been stable for thousands of years?" Students also take this career lightly, it is nothing more than to do more practical things, save some savings for themselves, and don't have to be too bleak when they get old. Gathering like things and getting acquainted with adults is purely because students admire adults' ability to do practical things, and students have always had no good impression of those empty talks about state affairs. ”

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Okay, you're a favoritist!" When this country is eventful, it is the right way to govern the country by using favoritism to clear the stream. But you don't have to be too pessimistic, I believe you will be able to achieve something. ”

Xue Keshou said some kind words, and then said: "It's not too early, the students are about to leave, and the adults will stay." ”

Zhang Wen picked up a glass of wine and said, "Okay, don't leave it at that, drink another glass, and take care on the way." ”

Xue Keshou wiped his eyes, only to see that his eyes were red, "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." Treasured by adults! Your trust will be remembered by the students. ”

Zhang Wen felt the bleak cold wind in winter, and was in the atmosphere of farewell in this long pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. It's just that Xue Keshou's friendship with himself has not lasted long, and he can cry sadly, and Zhang Wen doesn't know how true or false it is.
