Before leaving Yangzhou, Zhang Ning replied to Luo Moniang with a letter.
After leaving Beijing for about four months, she received two letters from her, one by the official who sent the official documents to Yangzhou government office, and the other by an acquaintance merchant who traveled to and from the canal. This time Zhang Ning replied to the letter, and he could just give money to the officer who sent the official documents to transfer them back.
Originally, servants who have official duties in accordance with the law are not allowed to bring personal belongings, but for the sake of interests, such things are common. Zhang Ning gradually understood these things after becoming an official.
Zhang Ning couldn't help but smile when he rereaded her two letters, and various quarrels with her appeared in his mind. Unexpectedly, the letters she wrote were regular and did not ask him if he was messing with women or writing some words that were not up to the top. There were a few classical Chinese in the narrative from time to time, which looked quite polite, and had the illusion of respecting each other as guests.
Zhang Ningjing sat for a while, reached out to dip the pen in the inkstone, held the sleeves with one hand, and a line of Miss Luo's elegant criticism fell on the paper like flowing water, and then gave her greetings, etc., which explained her job in Nanjing.
……
This time I went to Nanjing, I was no longer alone, and I brought three followers.
I handed over the official documents with Wu Yong, and drank a meal of wine to get fifty taels of food; the garden where Wu Yong lived changed ownership, and it was a public property itself.
He took the time to go home again, and his uncle and his friends still talked about some family affairs.
Zhang Ning repeatedly reminded: Don’t collect money or things at will. If you have no reason, you can’t collect a penny; if you have a holiday or a birthday, you can collect it if you have less than ten taels of value. If you have more, you can’t. If you refuse, you can’t discuss it with him or her.
No one in the Zhang family has ever been an official, but they are afraid that the uncle and cousin will dare to collect any money when they are praised. No one’s money will be given in vain. If you collect the money, you will not do anything or you can do anything at all. How can you do it then?
Not long after, an official from Hubutang came to Beijing and secretly talked about some things, saying that the secret letter was written by Emperor Jianwen and the emperor cared very much, and asked him to follow the clues to find a way to investigate.
Sure enough, this time the promotion was not a pie from the sky, but a matter of needing to let him do it...
Perhaps he took the letters from the key figure a while ago and killed Peng Tianheng and vented his anger for the emperor. He was so popular.
Zhang Ning had the authority to review Wu Yuannei's archives and was busy checking the files from the former interviewee of Yangzhou. Unexpectedly, there were all personnel files from other governments, but they didn't have them to find.
What is the secret of this matter?
After thinking about it, he simply wrote a letter to Hu Butang to ask about the matter, because he was doubting the details of Biyuan and the other two. If Hu Butang was unwilling to say it, he could make excuses to go there perfunctorily, anyway, it should be fine.
...The official messenger conveyed the information very quickly, and Zhang Ning received a reply half a month later.It's incomparable to private messages. I think it takes an average of one or two months for Na Luo Mo's letter to be delivered.
Zhang Ning took the letter from the messenger, pulled open the handwriting that was suspected to be Hu Ying, and glanced at the messenger who had not left yet. He quickly put the letter down with both hands and asked someone to fetch water to wash his hands, and then sat upright and read.
After pretending to be a god, he thought to himself: It would be better for this guy to go back to explain the meeting process in detail, it depends on how much I respect Hu Butang!
Sure enough, the origin of the Miao song is a bit mysterious.
This woman who didn't even have a name in the book was just a prostitute in Biyuan, but Zhang Ning was targeted by Zhang Ning...
Although I got some clues from Xie Jun, Zhang Ning questioned that Miao Ge's background was mostly based on intuition, and this matter was a bit coincidental.
In the letter, Hu Ying mentioned that his ex-Yangzhou interview envoy had been convicted and imprisoned. After the interrogation, he asked about the origin of the two.
And Zhang Ning actually only cares about one of Miao Songs.
The Miao song originated from a witchcraft sect in Yunnan called "Bijing Cult". It was a woman collected by the former interviewer when he was an official in Yunnan. Soon after, the Biyuan was established and the woman was placed in it as a geisha.
The God and Ghost Sect itself is one of the targets of Hu Ying’s secret investigation. But Miao Ge is related to the messy sect, so there is no problem and there are problems.After reading the letter, Zhang Ning secretly complained that it was not good.
As expected, within a few days, two Jinyiwei lieutenants and several military followers came to Wuyuan, all of whom were dressed in casual clothes, and showed off the Beizhen Fushishi's waist sign and met Zhang Ning.
They talked about the main topic very directly, and the purpose of coming was to catch people, two people: Xie Jun and Miao Ge.
Can Zhang Ning stop the Jinyiwei?
Others come and say that it is for face, because the person to be arrested is a subordinate of the interview envoy of Nanzhili. Even if you arrest him directly without saying hello, what can you do if you take the factory guard?
Not only can't stop me, I also have to send someone to help.
After seeing off the Jinyiwei Captain, Zhang Ning sat on the chair and was stunned for a long time.
He had seen those people doing business in the Jinyiwei Yamen in Beijing. He was quite polite to the Zhou family of three, and he was just a coercion. He thought that the former Yangzhou interview envoy was arrested and he was arrested for everything...
What kind of treatment will Miao Ge be treated when he is arrested and imprisoned?
Suddenly, he felt like a basin of cold water was poured on and thought to himself: Why am I doing these things?
Zhang Ning's mind saw the skillful posture of a slim beauty when making tea, and she felt very uncomfortable for a moment.
At the beginning, I wanted to be an interviewer in Yangzhou to get back the handle of the peach blossom poem and eliminate hidden dangers; then the things were brought back, and the situation was quite chaotic when doing things. Xie Jun made a proposition and a secret spy, Zhao Erniang, suffered inhuman treatment. He wanted to cure Xie Jun, but he thought that Xie Jun could not be easily harmed, Miao Ge was another breakthrough point...
The result is like this.
It is too easy for people to go far and forget their original intentions.
Xie Jun was punished, but Zhang Ning couldn't feel the pleasure of revenge.
Maybe this is what anger and hatred look like. When anger is burned, you want to take revenge; but if you really succeed in revenge, what can you get?
It's impossible to be empty.
Zhang Ning realized that he was not suitable for this job at all. What is the matter between Emperor Jianwen and his subordinates? Hu Ying's team was as dirty as the work done by the factory guards. Why did he do it with him?
Being a corrupt official can be greedy for some unclean money. In this industry, you are always punished and punished, which is really a bit unsuccessful.
At the moment, I had to eat and drink, and find an opportunity to transfer the position of Shenma Interview Engineer to be a serious business.
Be a seventh-rank magistrate or something, and you will be able to make a fifth-rank official in the future, be careful to be corruption and buy some houses and buy property, and then do some side jobs in merchants, and live a life.
So he remembered Su Liangchen, a talented man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was in Nanjing a while ago, so he asked him to drink flowers, wine, sing the wind and enjoy the moon and remove the yin energy.
During the meal, Zhang Ning accidentally showed an envy of his leisurely tone. Unexpectedly, Mr. Su was flexibly aware of the taste. On the other hand, he said: the safe career is in full swing. If I could change it, I would be very willing...
In this world, those who have ambitions and want to do things have a wealth of land, mansions and a lot of lyrics, music, poetry and essays.
Later, Old Xu talked to Zhang Ning and wanted to settle down as a tenant, but Zhang Ning agreed without thinking much.Old Xu said again: Boss Xie from Biyuan, Yangzhou, was arrested, and someone must take care of that place...
After mentioning this, Zhang Ning immediately understood the mystery and blurted out: Old Xu wants to be the leader of the secret probe?
There was no one around, and Lao Xu nodded: I thought that Boss Xie was from a craftsman, and he could do and confirm that the position required a low status. As soon as I settled down, I took over Biyuan and was arranged by the boss... If someone else chose to arrange it, that would be fine, I just mentioned it casually.
Because the assets under Biyuan's name are relatively fat, it is better to give them to their own people if they are fat, so Lao Xu said it was stress-free. Perhaps in his opinion, it was the best of both worlds, and Zhang Ning had no reason to be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning was not at all happy. He advised: If there is a risk in that industry, do you think Xie Jun was arrested?
Lao Xu smiled and said: That's because Boss Xie doesn't know how to do things. In my opinion, working as a servant in Biyuan is much lighter and more stable than being a military officer at the time...
Zhang Ning pondered for a while, thinking that water flowed to the lower part and people walked to the higher part. It is true that being the boss of Biyuan not only improved his status but also material things. Old Xu was quite righteous in his work a while ago, and there was no reason not to be kind to him.
As for whether Lao Xu will be checked carefully in the future, unless Zhang Ning is in trouble in advance, no one will easily check him.
Zhang Ning sighed slightly and said: OK, if you want to go to me, I will arrange for you. Now I have the power to arrange a secret agent in the state where I belong to... Although you have not known each other for a long time, I did not regard you as an outsider. To tell you the truth, I have no intention of continuing to be an interviewer. I will probably leave my post in a while. You should do it yourself after you arrive in Biyuan.
Lao Xu hurriedly asked: The boss is successful in his career and has just been promoted to the fifth rank, why...
This fifth grade is empty.Zhang Ningqiang smiled and said, "You don't need to ask more questions, I am just not here."
Lao Xu said: I still won’t go to Biyuan’s errands.
Why don't you go again?
Zhang Ning said, since you think that position is good, can I continue to do it? The transfer of officials has little to do with the secret agent. His ex-Yangzhou interviewee was convicted and imprisoned, so Xie Jun didn't move?
At first, I mentioned this and thought that my boss was an interviewer and I would also serve you below.Old Xu said, now that the boss has said that he is not here, how can I go again? It seems that he is unfaithful.
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "What are you talking about being loyal or not?" I have told you a long time ago that it is better to have a weak relationship between people."If you think I am okay with others, there is no need to be grateful. If you have a clear idea in your heart, just don’t put any harm in the wrong place.Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won’t stop you.
This... Lao Xu suddenly looked embarrassed, what ambition does Lao I still have at this age?However, staying with the boss for less than a few years would be a burden. In this way, Wenjun asked the boss to take care of him.
Zhang Ning nodded calmly: There are countless young talents in Nanjing. When I saw the right one, Wenjun was satisfied and gave her a home.
Seeing that Lao Xu's expression was a little sad, Zhang Ning advised him that it is normal to get together and leave in life, so don't worry too much.
After leaving Beijing for about four months, she received two letters from her, one by the official who sent the official documents to Yangzhou government office, and the other by an acquaintance merchant who traveled to and from the canal.
