"Li Chun didn't say anything?" Lin Liang You and Yang Fang were both surprised, "Then you are still so elated?" ”

Zhang Ben: "Second brother and third brother, you don't understand this, right?" The most important thing in this trip is not whether Li Chun said anything, but whether I said anything. ”

Lin Liangyou: "I don't understand. ”

Yang Fang: "Then big brother, what did you say?" ”

It is said that at that time, Zhang Ben brought two boxes of gifts and went directly to Li Chun and Li Qianhu's home, and did not go to the Yamen of the Pacification Division - how could you do it in the Yamen?

The Ming Law clearly stipulates that all officials and others will not receive money for anything else, and they will be guilty of taking stolen goods.

The imperial court strictly forbade officials to give and receive gifts privately, even if the officials were not corrupt and perverted the law, as long as they accepted other people's property, they were considered to be stolen.

However, the so-called policies and countermeasures, sending some local products such as melons, fruits, wine and meat, are not prohibited by law. People call this "Tuyi", which is regarded as a list of courtesies and exchanges, and is not considered bribery.

The problem is, there is no clear definition of Tuyi, I send some gold and silver, and I also say that it is Tuyi, there is nothing wrong with it, right?

Zhang Ben carried two large boxes of "Tuyi" and entered Li Chun's house.

"Lord Qianhu, Xiaguan, come to you in advance to pay a greeting to the early years, I wish you a bright future, prosperous official luck, and a higher level in the coming year!" Zhang Ben smiled and handed Tuyi to the servant on the side, and bowed to his chest.

Li Chun got up from the teahouse and walked to the door and bowed: "Dongyang is polite!" Please, please! ”

The place of origin recorded on Zhang Ben's official seal is the family of Dongyang County, Jinhua Prefecture, and the officials in the capital are commensurate with each other by their hometown, which can be regarded as the trend of the times.

The two sat separately, and the servant came to see the tea.

"Coincidentally, your Yanshan purple tea in eastern Zhejiang, try it!" Li Chun stretched out his hand to make tea.

There is also a plate of sandalwood in the copper smoker on the coffee table, incense and tea, Li Chun, a martial artist, is quite elegant.

Zhang Ben took a sip and praised: "Well-that's really good!" Melt in your mouth, fat but not greasy......"

"Are you supposed to eat fat? Good tea can make you feel like you're eating fat, which is really bad. Li Chun joked with a smile.

Zhang Ben smiled: "It's a fork, what I usually eat is fatty meat, and the first time I drank such a good tea, I made you laugh!" This tea, the color is purple and the taste is good, the aroma is particularly clear, it is really beautiful and delicious! ”

Li Chun put down the white tea cup: "Say it!" Come to me, what's the matter? ”

"Say goodbye to the early years." Zhang Ben smiled all over his face, "By the way, send a little new tea to the adults." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the gift box held by the servant.

As soon as he raised his hand, the servant approached with the gift box, Li Chun opened the lid of the box, squinted and glanced in, and his face was full of spring, so he closed the box with satisfaction, waved his hand and let the servant retreat.

"A little care, it's not as good as your Yanshan purple tea!" Zhang Ben took the porcelain tile injecting spring pot and poured tea for Li Chun, "It's not a respect, I hope the adults will smile." ”

"Dongyang has a heart." Li Chun said, "In the coming year, there will be you!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Ben hugged his fists.

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

After taking a sip and putting down the teacup, Zhang Ben said: "Actually, there is another matter, the lower official has not been able to make up his mind, so I want to hear what you mean." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Do you know about Xiaoyao Building?" Zhang Ben asked.

Who doesn't know in the capital of Xiaoyaolou, do you still need to ask?

Li Chun hummed lightly.

"There are a few unsuccessful guys under the hands of Xia Guan, and their hands itch for a while, so they went to Xiaoyao Building to play a few handfuls, and they lost a whole year's worth of silver." Zhang Ben said, "I've been shouting these days, asking me for instructions to renovate Xiaoyao Building......"

Li Chun: "Huh? ”

"This Xiaoyao Building was originally built by Emperor Taizu Gao, originally to imprison people who do not do their jobs and chase the end, games, and games, and eliminate the disadvantages of laziness among the people, but now it has become a place of smoke and miasma, and it should indeed be rectified." Zhang Ben said, "However, I am worried that giving people a handle will be said to be revenge for personal gain by people with intentions, and the people below are prohibited gambling, so I ......."

Li Chun: "This ......"

Zhang Ben lowered his voice: "And the lower officials also heard that the big proprietor behind this Xiaoyao Building has a share of Li Zengzhi, the former military governor of the left, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Li Chun silently sipped the tea: "So...... Troublesome indeed. ”

"There are also eunuchs in charge, and the thugs who are watching the scene inside, Jiang Ayan Jin Chang and others, all of them are dead, all of them are tricky." Zhang Ben said, "We haven't looked for them yet, but they came to the door first." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Li Chun said, "Looking for you?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Ben said, "I just urged the people below to repay the gambling debts, and the debts were chased to the guard's house. ”

"Well, the people down there have to be optimistic." Li Chun said, "You are about to be promoted to a thousand households." ”

"Yes, yes."

"The ...... who should have left you for lunch," said Li Chun, "no, I will have to go to the yamen in a while." ”

"Your Excellency is kind...... Xia Guanben also said that please deign to the restaurant on the outer street and have a light meal together! Zhang Ben knew that this was to send off guests, but his purpose had already been achieved.

"You don't have to break the banknotes, it's going to be a long time coming!" Li Chun said.

"Your Excellency, are you going to the banquet of Daikingo?" Zhang Ben asked again tentatively.

"!" Li Chun glared, "I'm just going to see the gate, it's good to be able to eat a mouthful of leftover soup!" ”

Ji Gang's family banquet really has specifications! Even the guards are five products and thousands of households.

But in fact, the thousand households are not big officials, among the twenty-two guards of the pro-army, there are many thousand households guarding the gates of the imperial city, and the border guards are even worse, and they have to personally farm the land if they are not enough.

Zhang Ben got up and handed over a thick brocade paper sealed bag: "A little Tuyi, and I bother your lord to help present Da Jinwu, the matter of the deputy thousand households, thank you deeply, thank you...... Hehe! ”

……

"Finished?"

"It's over."

“……”

"I didn't go to see Li Chun to get his consent or objection." Zhang Ben patiently explained, "It's to let him know that there is such a thing." You must know that these people who are in charge of the officials often make some such decisions, and they do not directly agree or disagree, and if they agree, they will be held responsible; If you oppose it, you will easily get suspicious. Therefore, Shangguan is not easy to be! Shangguan's words are not easy to say. The reason why they like to talk about official words, clichés, and nonsense is because these words are not easy to make mistakes. What to say and what not to say, you still have to learn the way. ”

"So big brother, how much money did you spend on this trip?" Lin Liang asked.

"Money is something outside of one's body." Zhang Ben waved his hand, "The silver that should be spent must not be saved." ”

"So with Li Chun to carry on for us, we can let it go, right?" Yang Fang asked, he had a deep understanding of Zhang Ben's words and deeply agreed, it was because he didn't know about them at the beginning, so he made himself so embarrassed.

"Don't be in a hurry, catch a big fish, you have to put a long line. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to taste good tea slowly. Zhang Ben said, "Jin Chang must be arrested, but he cannot be arrested in the name of the teaching workshop." ”

After all, the case of the teacher has been closed with royal approval, even if he is the real murderer, can he still let the emperor overturn the case?

"What's that name?"

"He is Huang Ze's master, and Huang Ze is against the party, so he naturally thinks of the crime of going against the party." Zhang Ben said, "The commander of the guards (Ji Gang) has personally interrogated Huang Ze, only to see his next move, adapt to the situation, wait!" ”

……

It was night, and when the little sister Yue allowed them to sleep, Lin Liangyou sneakily went up to the second floor, knocked on Yu Miaolan's door gently, and looked left and right, as if he was a thief.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Liangyou couldn't wait to push her into the house, and quickly closed the door behind her with his backhand.

Lin Zongqi...... Slave tonight, not very convenient. Yu Miaolan said with a blushing face.

"What's inconvenient? Haven't you slept yet...... Misunderstood, misunderstood. Lin Yanyou's face couldn't help but turn red, "I came to confirm with you, is the person in front of the perfume store today Huang Ze's master?" ”
