The yamen is not far away, only one mile from where Sun Dan lives, three streets away. In Sun Dan’s impression, the street where the county yamen is located is called Yamenkou.

Sun Dan walked in front of him and walked freely, while the water captain and the fourth yamen runner followed him all the way, which seemed like two long followers, which made Sun Dan feel a little funny. As long as this person is fearless, he naturally has an indescribable demeanor and his mood will naturally feel relaxed. As the saying goes, a person will humiliate himself first and then be humiliated. Even if he cannot live freely and casually like his previous life, he must live a personal appearance and must not be humiliated.

"Let's go so fast, hurry up and reincarnate!" The fourth brother kept muttering behind him.

Generally speaking, when officials arrest people, they always shouted and shouted, and the people who were captured bowed their heads and shook their heads, looking like they were losing their parents. However, when Sun Dan walked, he was swaying, as if he was going to a banquet. The pedestrians on the road watched interestingly, and they all pointed and whispered.

Seeing that he was being watched, the fourth brother was angry and couldn't help but look around with his eyes fiercely.

The water captain still nodded and greeted the neighbors one by one with a smile on his face, and occasionally said a few hello.

Sun Dan nodded secretly. This water captain is a lieutenant, but is it modest and cautious, and looks like a character. He has a very old-fashioned temperament in later politics. This person is not as simple as he seems on the surface. Such a person looks harmless. If he can be the chief captain of the county, he must have his own tricks. If he wants to stay in this small place in the future, this person is worth making friends.

However, I have to wait until I pass this level of discussion in the future. Although I fooled the two of them by relying on my memories of later generations to say that they were members of the Sun family of Huichang Hou, the magistrate would definitely find the people of the Houichou family to confront each other for review. It would be a big question whether the Sun family could be dealt with. If they were exposed at that time, I would be afraid that there would be big trouble.

However, when you encounter such a thing, you can't do nothing and wait for death.

With a gentle smile, Sun Dan almost sighed: I was worthy of my conscience in life in my previous life. I loved studying since I was a child, respected my parents, and worked diligently. After work, I did not be charmed or overbearing my superiors, but I was a qualified civil servant. Why did I get into such an unlucky thing as time travel?

After looking back, Zhiniang's slim limbs were squeezed and appeared and disappeared in the surging crowd behind her.

When Sun Dan saw her lips twitching gently, her hands folded, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

Sun Dan is a matter of the Huichang Hou family, saying it is a big deal, it is a small deal. It is just a small deal, but it is just a labor force to send it to the front line. Recently, Zouping has transported thousands of men to the Jiangnan front line. However, Zouping County is a large county in Jinan Prefecture, and it is a wealthy place where individuals are grounded. For more than 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people of Zouping were not short of money, and most of them were paid for the service with money. The army was willing to exploit cash from local areas to buy food and fodder in Jiangnan to recruit civilians. If things go big, Sun Dan is really a member of the Sun family of Huichang Hou family, and he already enjoys the policy of rent and exemption. If he was arrested randomly, it would be a provocation to the Sun family, which really angered the Huichang Hou family, but things were a little bad.

When he arrived at the yamen, the magistrate Zhang, the magistrate, went out to inspect the house because of the previous sandstorm, and was not in the yamen. The water captain had to go to Zhang's county magistrate himself, and at the same time sent someone to the Huichang Marquis' Mansion to report the matter, asking them to send someone to confront him, and then placed Sun Dan in the county yamen signing room. This matter cannot be completely listened to Sun Dan's one-sided remarks, and he really had to invite the three parties together to make it clear.

Sitting in the signing room, Sun Dan took a deep breath, sorted out the thoughts in her mind, and felt much more at ease.

Speaking of the wealthy and noble families of the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few noble families when they founded the country. For example, the Chang family, the Lan family, the Tang family, and the Qingtian Liu family. However, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes, and the heroes and generals of the founding of the country were empty, and many big families also disappeared in the long river of history. After the Tumubao Incident, the nobles who followed Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty were killed and injured. The great families at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty finally dispersed, and no ten remained.

However, the Sun family of Huichang Hou is an exception.

In the true view of the largest family in the Ming Dynasty, in a sense, the Sun family is the most powerful one.

The Sun family's prominence began when Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, which was the time of Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji. Emperor Xuande's empress, Empress Xiaogong, was from the Sun family in Zouping, Shandong.

That's right, the Sun family of Huichang Hou is the so-called relative of the foreign country.

However, the Ming Dynasty was very strict in preventing foreign relatives from interfering in politics. According to the ancestral system, whether princes or foreign relatives were raised by the state as pigs and were not allowed to enter politics.

But Empress Sun was deeply favored by Emperor Xuande and turned a blind eye to the Sun family's political engagement.

Emperor Xuande died at the age of 37. The seven-year-old Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, was the initiator of the Tumubao Incident. As the biological mother of the little emperor, the Empress Dowager Sun lived with the Qianqing Palace.

The little emperor's uncle and Empress Dowager Sun's younger brother Sun Jizong also became an official of the Ming Dynasty and was named Marquis of Huichang.

After the Tumu Fort Incident, Yingzong was captured by the Oirats. Under the leadership of his minister Yu Qian, he supported Yingzong's brother Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, so that Daizong would become Emperor Jingtai, and defeated the invading enemy in the same time.

Seeing that it was meaningless to continue to kidnap Yingzong, the Oirat people released Yingzong in August 1450.

In the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai, Emperor Jingtai was critically ill. On the 16th, Deputy Censor Xu Youzhen led his army to Nangong at night, supporting Emperor Yingzong to seize the sect and restore the stern. This is the "change of capture the sect" and is also called "Nangong Restoration".

On the surface, Xu Youzhen's plan was done by the change in the gate, but in private it was Sun Jizong's plan.

After Emperor Yingzong's restoration, Sun Jizong, his uncle, naturally had to be valued. He also promoted Sun Jizong to the chief minister of the cabinet, supervising the military affairs of the five military camps and in charge of the affairs of the governor's office of the rear army. In this way, Sun Jizong could be the first person in the Ming Dynasty who was well-deserved to seize military and political power.

The Sun family in Zouping also took the opportunity to soar into the sky. Sun Jizong's brothers were all granted marquis, and more than 20 descendants of the Sun family became high-ranking officials above the fifth rank.

Such a prominent family cannot compare with even the heroes of the founding country.

Not only that, because he is a relative of the outside world, the Sun family is also domineering and dares to do anything bold and reckless.

After the restoration of Emperor Yingzong, the Sun family was rampant in their hometown and embezzled a large number of official land. At its peak, the family had tens of hectares of fertile land and thousands of slaves. The land in the family was spread across Shandong, Zhili, and Henan. In later generations, there was another place in Tianjin called Huichang Houdi.

The embezzlement of the official land was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty, and the official land was the emperor's body. It was naturally unforgivable to reach out to the emperor's pocket. At that time, the British Duke Zhang Mao, who was fighting the emperor with Sun Jizong, and Zhang Jin, the Marquis of Taiping, were arrested and imprisoned by the Jinyiwei, and his family was confiscated and exiled. As for the Sun family, the emperor only removed the official positions of Sun Jizong's subordinates, closed the case in a hurry, and then ignored it and slapped the foolishly. After all, he was his uncle and really couldn't take action.

From this incident, we can see the position of the Sun family in the emperor's mind.

It has been more than fifty years since the reign of Emperor Yingzong, but in terms of closeness and alienation, the current emperor Zhengde is also a relative of the Sun family. Even though the Sun family has not become as famous as before in recent years, it is still the largest family in the country, and it is not something that a small magistrate of Zouping can afford.

Moreover, the Sun family is a person who does not rub the sand in their eyes and has always been abusive. If they can climb to the Sun family, Zouping County dares to pull Sun Tan to do hard labor, it is a provocation to the Sun family. If anyone becomes the magistrate, they have to consider it.

Now, the key to the problem is how to fool the people from Changhou Sun's family and make them recognize themselves as their poor relatives.

In ancient times, people valued the clan the most. Once the patriarch of a large family is prominent, no matter how far away the relatives come to the door, they have an obligation to help. This is not a temporary obligation or a moral obligation, but has a profound social and economic background.

For example, if an ordinary farmer wants to gain a certain social status, he must study and become an official. This road is long and arduous, and it requires the efforts of several generations. First of all, this farmer needs to work hard and accumulate a certain amount of financial resources to support his descendants in their studies.

No matter in any era, studying for full-time is a huge consumption, and often requires the whole family to make efforts at the same time. Moreover, this effort may be several generations.

Therefore, in the general concept, a person who becomes a high-ranking official through study is not because of his own efforts. His success is closely related to the common ancestors of several generations. Therefore, as long as the same ancestor has the same surname, successful people are obliged to provide help to him when needed.

Moreover, this kind of care and support is not meaningless, because no one can predict that his descendants will not be supported by the sponsors.

As stated in "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", this economic relationship has been sublimated into abstract morality.

But in essence, this is still a powerful economic relationship.

This is the clan and the grassroots organization of the ruling class in feudal society.

These materials were all contained in Sun Dan's mind, and he suddenly remembered these things. Speaking of which, Sun Dan's father was really a branch of the Sun family of Huichang Hou. However, after so many generations passed, the blood relationship became much weaker. His father's name was not included in the Sun family's genealogy.

Anyway, everyone's surname is Sun and they are related by blood. Although they are a little far apart, they still have a family, and this matter cannot be faked.

But I don’t know that the Sun family of Huichang Hou is willing to recognize themselves as a distant relative.

Whether they recognize each other or not is another matter, but doing nothing is not Sun Dan’s standard for being a human being. So he decided to take a risk.
