But there are two people here who don't smile, one is Liao Jianzhong, he has become extremely serious, and occasionally I see his smile, and it is also when I am alone. People say that he has been promoted, and naturally he has a shelf, and I understand his distress, so many brothers have been transferred, and he is almost alone here. The other is the newcomer Xue Shen, who is in his twenties, and I heard that he was transferred from Nanjing. And his real identity is the nephew of the current queen mother, the cousin of the current emperor, maybe a few people know, maybe he is not familiar with life, he seems very low-key, but he is very arrogant, and he doesn't care about people of our level at all. And another newcomer, Liu Tong, is very good at doing things, has no official frame at all, and gets along very well with us, with long brothers and short brothers, and always takes us out for a drink.

And Gu Dachun and Tan Sheng also made small flags, and gradually became familiar with us, so that they can be called brothers.

In my spare time, I would lead the four of them to the old Pingjia shop to drink, just like Liao Jianzhong's words, I slowly became infected with some bad habits of Jinyiwei, and as officials continued to enter the edict, our pockets slowly bulged. Gao Dezheng, who was raised by me from Jinyiwei, he didn't have much idea, but his wife, often sent Gao Qian to see me, and began to send some souvenirs, gradually mixed with silver tickets, I was shy at the beginning, and slowly became sophisticated, although I still don't want to do this in my heart, but occasionally, I will get some silver taels and property. Gao Qian said that Mrs. Gao was in the capital, and if she had the opportunity, she could go and sit. I said yes, but my heart tossed it aside. I am lively by nature, I like to drink, and I pull a group of brothers to drink.

I finally officially met Bao Xiaobai, and to my surprise, he turned out to be the attendant of the Tianwen Examination, that is, the secretary of the Department of Experience. I could hardly believe it, he saw me, he kept his inherent smile, we saw each other as if we were old, he said very little, but he liked to listen to me, and he never left Jinyiwei, the world of activity is here.

I can always find someone I want to find, and I never forget to bring him some benefits. Because I often go to him to inquire about the news, slowly, we became good friends, but I didn't dare to tell him about the murder of his brother Bao Song, so those things were not handed over to him, because I didn't know what I should do after the things were handed over to him, so I could only open my eyes to listen to him inquire about Bao Song, but my heart was tumbling, how should I tell him in the future?

Ning Boyang secretly told me that a few years ago, Bao Xiaobai was a person who made a mistake, almost to the point of questioning, but someone spoke and survived, but he was not allowed to leave here.

God knows what it would be like to be confined here alone, not allowed to step out of the door, I immediately felt sympathy for him, and he seemed to like this kind of life very much, familiar with official documents, familiar with the story, usually quiet like a woman, and adults looking for something, he can answer like a stream. So we often sigh, where should such a person be used?

Therefore, every time I go out, I always bring him some delicious food and fun, and he always accepts it gladly, without even saying a word of thanks.

It's snowing, and winter in the capital is coming. We have recently investigated many officials, of course, Ji Lifan arranged the investigation, and soon we found out that these people were doing something, as if it had something to do with the palace. It is rumored that Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Gao Feng and other eight cronies and eunuchs who often revolve around the emperor are known as the Eight Tigers of Zhengde, of course, Zhang Yong's father-in-law is also among them. They want to manipulate the situation, which naturally makes the ministers quit. Therefore, these officials began to deliberate and prepare to play together to impeach the Eight Tigers. In their opinion, the emperor is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and his experience is not as good as that of them who participated in court politics. Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang were the ministers of the Hongzhi Emperor, and they were the backbone of the literati of the Ming Dynasty, and they were confident that they would trip up the Eight Tigers and avoid the recurrence of Wang Zhen in the era of Emperor Yingzong.

But they don't know that what they do is under our control. Jin Yiwei has established the files of almost all the officials in the DPRK and China, and it must be said that we are indeed very powerful, and sometimes the emperor wants to check the resume of an official, and we can quickly submit it. Sometimes looking at the densely pressed scrolls, it seems to be a face, waiting for us to take it out and hand it in, maybe it is a leap into the dragon gate, or maybe it is to go to the ghost gate.

Every time I look at the official materials I have put together, I often think in my heart, I don't know this person, but I know everything about him, I can't help but say that it is a ridiculous thing, but I have heard that the reports we investigated have all been suppressed by Liao Jianzhong.

We don't know much about the above things, but we know how to go out for a drink on a snowy day.

I often go to the old Heijia store, and this is also my foothold, in fact, it is more for the purpose, I am waiting for someone.

Yes, it's Uncle Ping.

My grandfather submitted the fourth uncle Ping in the letter, but I can't remember which one, I always feel that the old store of the Ping family has something to do with the fourth uncle of Ping, maybe they are all surnamed Ping! This surname is rare, it is said that there is a martyrdom in the battle of Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son Ping'an, his father followed the Taizu Emperor to raise troops, the courage to charge into battle, unfortunately died in battle, Ping'an was adopted by the Taizu Emperor as an adopted son, brave and good at fighting, and the Taizu sons have a good relationship, especially with the prince Zhu Biao is more sincere. The change of Jingnan naturally stood up for Emperor Jianwen, led the army to fight with King Yan at the Baigou River, and almost captured Zhu Di, King of Yan. Zhu Di became Emperor Taizong, and he has always held a grudge against Ping'an, but because of Ping'an's great contributions, there is no reason to do it, so he can only arrange it in the north, which has a taste of being out of sight and out of mind. In March of the seventh year of Yongle, Emperor Taizong toured Beijing. When I was about to arrive in Beijing, I flipped through the recitals of the hundred officials who came to worship, saw the name of Ping'an, and said to the left and right: "Ping Bao'er is still here?" And he deliberately spread the word, and when he heard it, he knew that the emperor did not want to live for himself, so he sighed, and committed suicide for the sake of future generations. Emperor Yongle saw that this godbrother was still interested, and did not embarrass the Ping family, and ordered Ping'an's son to attack his father's position.

Later, following Emperor Yingzong on the expedition, the Tumubao Revolution was martyred, and the Heike family gradually declined. Of course, these are all told to me by Bao Xiaobai, and he even said that Liao Jianzhong, his ancestor is also the founder of the country. I once asked Bao Xiaobai, what is my bottom line? He retained his inherent smile and said lightly: "I really don't know about your files, it is said that your family is also very remarkable." I was very surprised, and told him my life experience without scruples, he smiled, and said that in the first few days of my employment, a text from Baoding Mansion was sent, detailing my family's situation, practicing medicine for generations, and having a rich family. I asked him why he said that my family was amazing, but he didn't tell me, but said, "Your family often goes to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so it's good for you to inquire in the future!" ”

I had wild imaginations, but I couldn't think of anything. Maybe it's time to ask my grandfather and father, I'm not used to being careful, but I'm starting to go to the old Heike store more often. It's just that the old store of the Ping family has been gone for a long time, but the sixth brother of Ping has become rusty, I don't know where I am wrong, but I feel that something has changed. But Shu'er saw me coming, and she was often as happy as a bird, which made me feel a little ignorant in my heart. For a few months, I learned to drink, and the young body, even if drunk, worked normally the next morning. When I was drunk, except for Hardy clumsily serving everyone or drinking with them, these people always complimented me, saying that I was just around the corner, and that I was the eldest brother. And although I know the moisture in the words, I am also a little fluttery.

My changes did not escape Liao Jianzhong's eyes, and finally on a snowy night, I was drunk and fell on the couch, he didn't know when he came in, and drove Ning Boyang and Hardy out.
