In the blink of an eye, the three-day rest time passed, Su Xiaolou took Tu Yao and others to see the restaurant they had put down, and after repairing and renovating it into a funeral style, Su Xiaolou made a list, and asked Tu Yao and Laiqian to buy materials together, and Yusheng stayed to post the small advertisements made by Su Xiaolou, which was bound to let the entire Nanjing City know that the Afterlife Inn was about to open. Su Xiaolou went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen on duty.

As soon as he arrived at Yamen Su Xiaolou, he was soothed by Lei Zhen's study.

Nanjing Jinyi Wei Yamen to capture the demon sect demon Lei Zhen Fu envoy has been presented for a while, but Emperor Wu's counterinsurgency tour has been changed to a southward parade, at this time is in Linqing to meet the beauty, now most of the review is the cabinet first assistant Li Dongyang, this time the bandits, did not hurt the demon sect fundamentals, no merit and no fault, the reward should not be too big.

Su Xiaolou was not too surprised, when he studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, he knew that Wuzong was the most playful emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the 'Eight Tigers' chaos during the Zhengde period, Liu Jin controlled the government, the factory and the guard converged, the Qianjiang River competed, the court was a miasma, and it was fortunate not to be involved, but looking at the development of this situation, Wuzong was also about to come to the end of his life, and the history of the Ming Dynasty recorded that Wuzong was killed in the water during this southern tour.

Lei Zhenfu saw that Su Xiaolou had a clear view of the situation, and he was a person who knew the general situation and did not fight for temporary benefits, so he took out the letter of appointment and gave Su Xiaolou the position of Tuntian steward as a reward for this crackdown on bandits.

Su Xiaolou understands that Lei Zhenfu's reward is real, in this era when the people take food as the sky, the Tuntian steward is not only a real power position, but also a fat poor, ordinary people will appoint cronies to take on this position, and the oil and water they catch are three or seven or four or six, but Lei Zhenfu directly gave it to Su Xiaolou, he took a big advantage.

The officialdom is mixed with personal sophistication, even if Lei Zhenfu doesn't say it, Su Xiaolou also plans to give Lei Zhen a cut.

Lei Zhenfu seemed to have something important to say to Su Xiaolou, and after driving out all the maids who added tea, he pulled Su Xiaolou and said seriously: "Virtuous nephew, I have a lifelong friendship with my father, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, and your father and mother are gone, I should take care of you, and ask you if you want to be promoted and make a fortune?" ”

Su Xiaolou was a little confused for a while, but he still replied truthfully: "I always dreamed that you always have some way to get promoted and make a fortune, take me with you." ”

"We have worked hard in Nanjing City for another ten or twenty years, just like now, if we want to be a great minister and have great power, we still have to do what we like, and we can have fun with Wuzong, aren't Qian Ning and Jiang Bin examples? Both of them are from the bottom of Jinyiwei, relying on a variety of tricks to play, was accepted by Wuzong as a righteous son, since then the career is like riding on a rocket to go up, in terms of eating, drinking and having fun, no one in Nanjing City can compare to the virtuous nephew, you will be able to the favor of Emperor Wu, the virtuous nephew really doesn't want to call the wind and rain in the court? ”

Su Xiaolou thought about it, isn't this developing in the direction of Yuchen? In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wuzong had a short life, he died at the age of thirty, and the favored ministers around Wuzong did not end well, this is not a wise move, I have to find a way to make Lei Zhenfu retreat, and he broke this thought, and said: "Now that Jiang Bin's family is dominant in the court, we have no foundation in Beijing, so let's stay in Nanjing!" ”

Lei Zhenfu saw Su Xiaolou hesitate, and continued: "If we can have a lot of money, we can buy the Beijing officials and go through the door, let's plan well, the virtuous nephew will definitely be able to gain the appreciation of the Wu Sect, those Beijing officials are very greedy, and they will not turn away the money." ”

"Their appetite is too big, we can't fill it, relying on the little oil and water in Jinyiwei's grange, I'm afraid this land will be planted until the next life, old man, forget it!"

Seeing Su Xiaolou's refusal, Lei Zhenfu looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said excitedly: "Although we don't have so much money, but those people in the capital can be corrupt and bribe-taking, and we can also make some side ways, the Demon Sect has only invaded Jiangnan for a few months, and we can loot the gold, silver and jewels of Xiaoshan Gao, why don't we cooperate with them." ”

Su Xiaolou suddenly brightened, Lei Zhen Fu said that the fat old man of the Blood Moon Sect in Hui County was arrested on the night he had interrogated the fat old man, and he was afraid that the fat old man had said the words of bribing himself in the secret room to Lei Zhen Fu Envoy again, so the trick was repeated, and Lei Zhen Fu Envoy was already moved! Maybe there's a deal that's been made in private.

The Demon Sect is really insidious and cunning, Su Xiaolou can't bear to be such an elder who has been taking care of himself and goes astray, and persuades: "The Demon Sect has continuous internal contradictions, and he has broken two arms, and now he can only hide in the dark ditch, he doesn't dare to act rashly, he can't believe their words, old man, Wu Zong's body is weak, not a long-term appearance, it is not a wise move to flatter him, we need to wait for an opportunity, I have a hunch, this opportunity will come soon." ”

Wait! Su Xiaolou's father waited for something, as soon as he picked up the loess, there was nothing, he never told Su Xiaolou the real cause of his father's death, even if he said it, what could he do!

Looking at people's faces, he has had enough days of being controlled by others, he is so old, don't gamble, I'm afraid that one day will block the way of a big man, he will be kicked away, he is unwilling, he must persuade Su Xiaolou: "The Demon Sect is not as weak as you imagined, I have received the news that the reason why the Demon Sect can develop so rapidly in Jiangnan is because of the support of Mongolia behind it, they will be a great help to us, virtuous nephew!" The road has been paved for you, and this is a great opportunity! ”

Su Xiaolou looked at Lei Zhen's eyes that had been blinded by desire in shock, as if he didn't know the old man in front of him who was laughing and playing with him, educating himself to punish the strong and help the weak, the Ming Dynasty had only stood up on the flesh and blood of its ancestors for more than 150 years, and there were people who betrayed the country and sought glory and forgot the difficult years when they were bullied and enslaved.

There was anger in his eyes, and before Su Xiaolou could hide his emotions, Lei Zhen had already understood.

He didn't expect that the junior he had always been in love with would refuse him, and he did all this to help him, but he didn't appreciate it, just that: "Virtuous nephew, look at me, what kind of bastard words are you talking about when you are excited, virtuous nephew don't have to take it to heart, since you don't want to, the old man won't be reluctant!" ”

"Did the Lei Zhen Fu envoy say something just now! Aren't we talking about my appointment as the steward of Tuntian, and you have instructed me on some things in the Zhuangzi? ”

"Ahh Oh, yes! You stinky boy doesn't cause much trouble, you still have to be more restrained when you become a tuntian manager, don't mess around! ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

Su Xiaolou bowed to Lei Zhenfu like worshipping the God of Wealth.

The old man looked at Su Xiaolou's departing back and fell into deep thought, then picked up a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to the people around him, and told him to send it to the capital quickly.
