Zhang Ye and Zhang Ping, father and son, on behalf of Nanjing Jinyiwei, came to Yongping Mansion on business.

The two of them came to work together to build the Bohai Shipyard, although the two didn't even know what they were here for, but after they arrived at Yongping Mansion, they realized how popular they were.

And Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who arrived at Yongping Mansion a few days later than them, did not have this kind of treatment from them.

When Mu Bin arrived in Yongping Mansion, he learned that Guo Ang did not bring people to Yongping Mansion for business trips, mainly because the background of the local gentry family was too "strong".

"Are you laughing with me? Nanjin Yiwei sent a hundred households, and you didn't dare to do it? Or is the local government giving you trouble? If that's the case, take the prefect of Yongping Mansion first!"

Mu Bin listened to Guo Ang's report and almost wanted to draw a knife to kill someone.

is not just the Zhao family, but also many local families related to the mining business, Guo Ang, as the envoy of the Fusi of Beizhen, has not even copied a family.

Guo Ang said: "My lord, that's the case, that Nanjin Yiwei Baihu is the brother of Cai Guogong."

"What?" Mu Bin's face was full of astonishment.

If you want to say that this matter is related to Zhang Zhou, forget it, how can even Zhang Zhou's brother jump out and get in the way?

Guo Ang continued: "This hundred households surnamed Zhang, after arriving in Yongping Mansion, somehow, was treated favorably by the prefect and other magistrates, and was even invited back by each family as a guest.

Mu Bin couldn't even speak now.

It's not angry, but a little afraid.

Guo Ang asked, "Do you think this means that Cai Guogong has different opinions from us on local affairs?" Although we are clearly here to clear the way for His Majesty and Cai Guogong, we are afraid that we will be regarded as the ones blocking the way."

Mu Bin said with a dark face: "Let me go to meet this Zhang Baihu first to see what he means. Tell me where he lives now?"

Guo Ang said, "Stay in the post house."

Mu Bin waved his hand and said, "Then go with me, but don't be rude, you have something to say."

Even if Zhang Ye is just a fart in Nanjing, Jinyi Wei Baihu, and his errand can't match the errand of Jinyi Wei Zhengsi, but because he is Zhang Zhou's eldest brother, even the commander of Jinyi Wei dare not despise him, as if he is a plague god.

Beijing, Teaching Workshop Division.

After nightfall, Zhang Heling was still drinking flower wine and couldn't miss it, so the family came to visit with visitors from Yongping Mansion, disturbing his mood of eating and drinking.

"You all go out first."

Zhang Heling first drove away all the people who accompanied the wine in the room, and then glared at the visitor, "You mean that the emperor sent people to Yongping Mansion to smash Benhou's field?"

Come and say: "Master Hou, that's really the case, now that everyone has arrived, you still have a few hundred acres of land in Yongping Mansion, and each family gives you a lot of filial piety every year, something will happen, you have to come forward to help bear it."

"How? Let Lao Tzu carry his head?" Zhang Heling was a little annoyed when he heard it.

Something's wrong, this marquis is very unhappy, but you want Lao Tzu to wipe your ass? There are no doors!

Collecting money and not doing things, it's all about Lao Tzu.

Who said that if you receive your filial piety, you will be the master?

The person who came said eagerly: "If Master Hou can drive away the people of the factory guard, you will not be less than that."

"How much?" Zhang Heling is not a rabbit or an eagle.

Come: "Don't talk about five thousand taels of silver."

"Less!" Zhang Heling said, "Give 20,000 taels, Ben Hou also considers taking into account the presence of His Majesty and interceding with them, otherwise stand aside!"

The person who came gritted his teeth and said, "Silver is not a problem, I just ask the Hou Ye to convey the words to the Holy Hearing, so that His Majesty can recall the people sent by him, and we must be grateful."

Zhang Heling originally said that he thought that the local people in Yongping Mansion were okay

He won't give him 20,000 taels for nothing, but now he feels that his offer is too low, because he is too happy to promise here.

"Give 20,000 taels first, no matter if it is done or not, send 10,000 taels after the deed!" Zhang Heling is also a good hand at starting prices.

The person who came was about to say something, and the servant brought by Zhang Heling next to him said, "This is our master who gave you the opportunity, don't toast and don't eat and drink, 30,000 taels of silver can't be less."

Zhang Heling sang and said in harmony: "Don't say a tael, not a penny is missing. The fold color should be high, and the new silver should be used, not the old silver."

People couldn't laugh or cry.

But he still had to bow his head in front of Zhang Heling.

Because the government and the opposition all know that the Zhang brothers are able to vent on the emperor's side, and it seems that it is easy to talk to their brothers about something.

But what the local officials and gentry don't know, this is all the old thing of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, and now, no matter how good the Zhang brothers are, they are not as good as a single hair of Zhang Zhou, if this matter has any involvement with Zhang Zhou's interests, even if the emperor's father crawls out of the coffin to intercede, it will be in vain.

Yongping Mansion City, inside the post house.

As the commander of Jinyiwei, Mu Bin took Guo Ang, the envoy of Beizhen Fusi, to "meet" Zhang Ye of Nanjing Jinyiwei.

Zhang Ye was still a little arrogant when he learned that someone wanted to see him, he felt unprecedented respect in Yongping Mansion in the past few days, his heart was empty, and he was even a little disdainful in the face of people.

Especially when I saw that Mu Bin and Guo Ang were just dressed in plain clothes, I thought that some local family came to give me gifts.

"Just put things down, I don't have much time to talk to you, if it's inconvenient, just leave a name and let me know who you are." Zhang Ye said.

Mu Bin and Guo Ang were both a little embarrassed.

Zhang Ping's eyesight strength is there, he pulled his father's sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "Dad, the person behind him is familiar, it seems that when we went to support the family the day before yesterday, he took the people of Jinyi Wei to arrest people."

"Jin Yiwei?" Zhang Ye said, "Where did you come from?"

Guo Ang didn't mention how much he had, as the second-in-command of Jinyi Wei, he was so embarrassed, he thought he had done everything, but when Mu Bin came, he was very embarrassed in front of this boss.

He also wanted to maintain the last dignity of the Jinyi Guard, and came forward to introduce: "This is the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

"Commander?" When Zhang Ye heard this, he first opened his mouth wide.

He is already enough to bluff people, so what is the identity of the commander of the Jinyi Guard? Wouldn't that be even more awesome?

A Jinyi guard commander actually came to see him like this?

What about the crooks?

Yes, this must be a counterfeit product, impersonated!

"Impossible!" Zhang Ye calmed down and said, "I have seen Commander Mou, you dare to lie in front of me, I think you don't know how to write dead words."

This will not be able to fix Mu Bin and Guo Ang.

Guo Ang beckoned, and a group of entourages dressed in brocade guard uniforms came in at the door.

Zhang Ye glanced at it, frowned, and said, "The whole body is quite like that. That's a lot of work."

The Jinyi Wei General Banner brought by Zhang Ye hurriedly came over and reminded: "Lord Baihu, that is really the commander of Mou, and the little one was fortunate to see it when he was in Beijing."

"What?"

Zhang Ye felt that the situation was serious, and when he was about to collapse, fortunately Zhang Ping helped this father.

Zhang Ping hurriedly reminded the old father with his eyes, now that the boss is in front of him, we can't lose the prestige of Jinyiwei, and we have to do our best.

Mu Bin is actually weak-minded, mainly not afraid of a hundred households in brocade clothes, but afraid of the background of this hundred households, although Mu Bin has long known that Zhang Zhou has a bad relationship with the Zhang family's big house, but at this juncture, who dares to offend such a bad god?

Mu Bin said: "Zhang Baihu, I came here to inquire about your errand to Yongping Mansion, I heard that you have a vacancy in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but you are only in charge of the actual position of a hundred households in Nanjing, why did you come here on business

？ It doesn't seem like that's your job to do that."

Zhang Ye no longer had the same arrogance as before, and said with a smile on his face: "That's the case, I came here on the order from above, wasn't this order issued from the Jingshi? You are...... Commander Mu, don't you know?"

Mu Bin really didn't know.

Not to mention Mu Bin, even Guo Ang and others don't know anything about it, if they don't know that this is the elder brother of Cai Guogong's family, they will think that this is a crazy person who has been abducted and deceived.

"I wonder if I can take a step to speak?" Mu Bin said.

Mu Bin didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates.

In the end, the person in front of him is nominally a sesame mung bean official, and if he keeps his voice low in front of this kind of person, he will not be able to maintain his majesty in front of the people under him in the future.

"Please." Zhang Ye could only invite Mu Bin to the room where he lived.

Mu Bin went upstairs and saw large boxes and small boxes of things piled up in Zhangye's house, so he knew how popular this product was in Yongping Mansion.

Mu Bin also wondered in his heart.

In order to open a mine in the local area, isn't it incompatible with Cai Guogong?

Now that the emperor has sent us to punish the local gentry, how can the local government be so polite to one of Cai Guogong's brothers? In the local area, there are strong background backers in the court, and they didn't even pay attention to the Jinyi guards.

"Commander Mu, if you want to ask about my brother, I don't know anything, I haven't seen him since I arrived in Yongping. However, I heard from Governor Song that it seems that he has also arrived in Yongping, maybe after a while, I will meet him."

In the case of Zhang Ye's weak heart, he can only move Zhang Zhou out, no matter what the relationship between the brothers is, this will be Zhang Zhou's shield, responsible for blocking his face.

When my face is pumped like this, it doesn't seem to hurt so much.

Mu Bin said, "I just want to ask Zhang Baihu, is your business related to sheltering the local gentry? The local wealthy and powerful families usually do evil things, but you want to support them?"

"Wrongdoing?" Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, and slapped his thigh and said, "Oops! I don't know anything! As soon as they arrived, they were entertained with good food and wine, saying that they only needed to support their faces, and how do I know what they were doing? That's none of the business! Speaking of Commander Mu, are you here for this?"

Zhang Ye now belongs to the rudder of the wind.

The benefits of receiving are not good, but when it comes to his own future, he will also turn his gun on the local gentry who give him gifts.

Mu Bin seemed to be relieved, after all, it seemed that Zhang Ye did not know.

But Mu Bin didn't dare to take it lightly, who knows if Zhang Ye is pretending to be a grandson? This person himself has no experience in contact, and he doesn't know how capable Zhang Baihu is of this fox and fake tiger.

"Well, that's better than ...... Zhang Baihu cooperated, let's go and get people together?" Mu Bin said in a tentative tone.

Zhang Ye said: "If you take people, I still won't go, although their business has nothing to do with me, but they are polite to me, and they have promised before, if you go like this, it is equivalent to two sides are not people, I still ...... I'm waiting for you to hear from you on your errand."

Mu Bin almost wanted to vomit blood.

Who is this?

It doesn't look like he's upright at all, he belongs to the villain who sees money, but he still knows how to be soft on people, and chooses to avoid it when he arrests people?

According to the villain's consistent style of doing things, shouldn't it be a pit at both ends?

Mu Bin sighed: "In this case, then there is nothing to avoid, so I will send someone to take people from the local area, this time the governor of Bendu is here, with thousands of brocade guards, and there is no need for others to help in errands." Please also ask Zhang Baihu to wait here, if there is anything, I can discuss it with you again."

"Okay."

Although Zhang Ye didn't know what value he had on Mu Bin's side, and he didn't know what kind of beneficial proposal he could make, it seemed that Mu Bin was quite polite to him.

He coped with this kind of officialdom, especially in the face of such an official, he was not very experienced, so he could only respond and send Mu Bin out of the door.

「

Dad, was that really the commander of the Jinyi Guard just now? Why did he come to you?"

After sending the person away, Zhang Ping's face was flushed, obviously he had just experienced an inner test, and he was a little unsteady when he walked.

Zhang Ye said: "Son, you behaved very well just now, fortunately you are here, so that you are not ashamed of being a father! He may really be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that is, your father and my highest official, but because of your second uncle's relationship, he also wants to give me face. I looked, he was on business in Yongping Mansion."

"What's the business?" Zhang Ping said, "A small Yongping Mansion, even the commander of the Jinyi Guard has to come in person? It won't be ...... It's something to do with us, so we're going to fold it here, right?"

Zhang Ye scolded: "Just said that you behaved well, you are starting to run out of brains now? It's a shame that your father still provides you with education, and you really learned from the dog's belly! Far worse than your second uncle! Don't you think that if his errand is contrary to ours, is it necessary for him to condescend to meet me?"

Zhang Ping said, "But father, you don't even know what he's doing."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Ye looked very confident and said, "As long as he can't do anything to me, we will laugh at it and not send it back!" When we get back, we'll dock the shipyard and dock it, let's go back, find a dart board or something, and transport back the things that my father has collected in the past few days! I didn't even expect to be a father, this journey was hard, and I didn't make any oil and water, and when I arrived here, I actually treated us as guests.

Mu Bin opened up the relationship between Zhangye, and he could let people arrest people in Yongping Mansion with great fanfare.

raided three houses in a row, although there was no accident on the side of the prefect's yamen, but Mu Bin also asked Guo Ang to go over to talk in person, which was a kind of warning, and then the arrest and raiding of the house seemed to be very smooth, whether it was the local government or the local private armed families, none of them dared to make trouble.

The three families that were raided also seemed to think they were unlucky, and their family property was seized by Jinyi Wei.

The news soon spread back to the capital.

The speech officials in Beijing, regardless of whether they are involved in the local area of Yongping Mansion or not, will go to the emperor because of the Jinyi Guard's investigation of the local gentry, and they have the intention of directly admonishing the offender.

This is also the reason why Dongchang and Jinyiwei converged in power during the Hongzhi period, because the emperor attached too much importance to civil officials, so that the supervision of the court by the Yanguan reached its peak, so that even the people of the factory guard had to hold their tails and did not dare to rush into official affairs.

But this time, the official obviously misjudged the emperor's attitude.

The official thought that Jin Yiwei was making trouble in the local area, but he didn't know that this was an order, and Zhu Youzhu was just satisfied with the efficiency of Li Rong and Mu Bin and others, and wanted to commend him.

In the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Jing sorted out several copies of the local affairs of Yongping Mansion and put them in front of Zhu Youji.

"Your Majesty, it's all of these."

Xiao Jing said, "There is also the Jinyi Wei commanding Mu Bin to play in the local area, I heard that Cai Guogong's brother, the Jinyi Wei Baihu named Zhang Ye, is also in the Yongping Mansion, when the Jinyi Wei was doing things before, this Zhang Baihu also obstructed things, or accepted the property given to him by the locality."

After all, Xiao Jing is not in charge of the East Factory now, and he doesn't know much about the details of Li Rong's errand.

In Xiao Jing's opinion, the movement made by Jin Yiwei seemed to be a bit big.

And it doesn't seem necessary.

It stands to reason that the emperor wants to open mines and make money in the local area with his courtiers, and there is no need to make such a big show.

Zhu Youzhu said, "Zhang Ye? Bingkuan's brother...... It's fine."

Xiao Jing was a little stunned for a while, how could this be good? The good part?

"Bingkuan's brother, no matter what his ability is, is also the Zhang family in the end, and his temperament should not be bad." Zhu Youzhu commented.

Xiao Jing said: "But it is said that Cai Guogong has a very stiff relationship with this Zhang Baihu."

Zhu Youzhu said, "That was before! Later, didn't this person make military exploits in Liaodong? Otherwise, what would I do if I gave him an official position? He went to Yongping Mansion on an errand, and I couldn't treat him badly, so I gave him some of what Jin Yiwei copied from the place, and it should be my reward for him!"

Xiao Jing's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.

Just because Zhang Ye is Zhang Zhou's nominal eldest brother, can he gain the favor of the emperor?

This can't be called love house and black, it can be said that it is good and bad.

"As for Bingkuan, there is no need for him to come forward for the follow-up. Li Rong did the chores, and Jinyi Wei first restrained the group of people in Yongping Mansion, let them know my determination, and let those courtiers in the court see that I also pay attention to principles in doing things! Yes, there is no such thing as giving up halfway!"

"In addition, let him finish his errand, and come back quickly, in the past few days, all border towns have sent troops, I need him to come back and make overall arrangements, the military department can't do without him!"
