The Zhao Mansion is in the first building of Xique Hutong, with a high-walled gate and the red-lacquered gate that looks particularly eye-catching.

Zuodu Censor was a second-rank official in the court, a powerful figure, and one of the three giants. He supervised officials in the world and also under his command. Not only did the officials feel frightened when they saw it, but even the emperor was afraid. Those censors chattered in their ears every day, which was also a headache.

It is precisely the special nature of this official position. For the sake of his reputation, Zhao Jin must be selfless and at least on the surface, not to attend banquets easily or refuse gifts. Even if officials come to visit, they will adopt measures that they will disappear if they can be seen, so as not to give people a lesson.

Therefore, the Zhao Mansion's door has always been very leisurely. Unlike other people, others are guarding their houses in front of the door. If there is a noble person to help get off the horse, the Zhao Mansion has always been closed, and there is a small gatekeeper next to the door. The old door guarding the door is drinking tea inside and dozing off, and they always ignore it.

Zhao Jin rarely has guests on weekdays, but even if there are guests, all of them are blocked outside the door. His master is the Zuodu Censor, in order to avoid suspicion.

When Yu Jin knocked on the door, the old gray-haired door was dozing off. It was not until Yu Jin called twice that he opened his eyes impatiently, glanced at Yu Jin, and then said impatiently: "Young Master, what's wrong?"

The seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Sect is not the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this disciple is more arrogant than the seventh-rank official, and the disciple of the Zuodu Censor is indeed domineering.

"I'll inform you. I'm in Yu Jin. If you have something to do, I want to see Censor Zhao." Yu Jin said quickly. The good-looking novel is here.

When I was in Yuyao, I might also know Yu Jin's name. If it were Zhao Jin's old house, I also knew the young man in front of me who was more valued by his master. Even if I didn't need to report it, I would just let him go.

Unfortunately, this is the capital, not Yuyao, and this old disciple doesn’t know Yu Jin. Hearing this, he asked in confusion: “Young Master, do you have an invitation?”

The old disciples in the capital can be said to be remembered by the famous people, and the relatives of the Zhao clan can also be clear about them, and there is no such person in mind at all. Although the old disciple is old, his "tricks" are very sharp, and you can tell at a glance that Yu Jin is not a famous family.

I was sweating profusely when I walked, without horses, without carriages, without slaves, and I was definitely not a big shot.

"No," Yu Jin finished speaking and immediately added: "I am the fellow villager of Censor Zhao, so I'm here to visit me."

Visits from fellow countrymen

It is said that poor people are in the downtown area and distant relatives are in the mountains. Before his master's fame, he did not have so many relatives. As his official positions rise higher and higher, more and more people come to visit him. After eight doors, they come to visit him. Some people seek wealth, some seek officials, and some are bullied to find a backer. It can be said that they are troubled. Zhao Jin had already explained that he would not see him.

Save trouble. If the impact is too great, it will also damage your official voice.

The old man shook his head and said, "The master is busy with official duties and really can't take time. Please give me the opportunity, my son."

The Zhao Mansion's gate is not easy to enter. I wanted to use some money to buy the people in the family, but suddenly I found that I used the "hard meat trick" to give all the silver to the thief, but I thought I had no cash on my body.

But this was not a problem. Yu Jin took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it on him and said, "Brother-in-law, show this jade pendant to the Censor. I think he will take the time to meet him."

This piece was the jade pendant that Zhao Jin untied from his waist in Changting that day. Zhao Jin would definitely recognize it when he saw it.

When Zhao Jin finished his visiting holiday and Yu Jin sang a farewell song for him at the Shili Changting, the Zuodu Censor still held Yu Jin's hand and told him that he had the opportunity to go to the capital and must go to the mansion to see him. Now that he is here, he can't be turned away.

No, if this friendship fades, Zhao Jin would not recommend him to Zhang Juzheng.

"Please wait, the old man will report to the master immediately." When the old man saw the jade pendant, a trace of light flashed across his eyes, and he immediately said to report.

Even my tone was polite and I became much more enthusiastic.

As an old slave of the Zhao family, he naturally knows the origin and weight of this jade pendant.

Not long after, Yu Jin, led by the Zhao family servant, entered the Zhao Mansion through the side door.

Compared with Zhu Xizhong's Duke's Mansion, the Zhao Mansion is relatively simple. Zhao Jin and Shaoxing are from Zhao, while Zhao Mansion adopts the style of southern gardens, including small palaces, small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions, and a graceful beauty of the south, giving people a sense of winding paths.

There is less luxury and more tranquility.

It is not as exquisite as the Duke's Mansion, but it is still more exquisite and attentive than many rich landlords.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, and when the people are careful, there is no disciple. As the Zuodu Censor, it is amazing to just take a little filial piety.

"The student has met the Censor." When he arrived at the lobby, Yu Jin respectfully saluted Zhao Jin, who was sitting in the head.

"Hahaha, I'm still called an adult," Zhao Jin said with some displeasure: "There are no outsiders here, so it seems like they are alienated by calling it like this."

Yu Jin felt a warm feeling and changed his mouth and shouted, "I have met my uncle."

This uncle called out when he came to Zhao's mansion to scan his face during the Chinese New Year. When he saw Zhao Jin mention it on his own initiative, Yu Jin was a little excited.

"Okay, okay, that's right, by the way, when will the nephew arrive? You received it?" Zhao Jin was very happy to see the person in his hometown, and he was still a young man he valued very much. He was about to talk about the recommendation, but he didn't expect that he saw Yu Jin sweating profusely and looked embarrassed. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Hey, nephew, what's wrong with you? Your clothes are so dirty and torn, what's going on?"

Scholars should pay attention to their image. It is best to be as envious as a valley, be graceful as if they are so beautiful that they are falling in front of them without changing their colors. However, Yu Jin seemed to have rolled on the ground, and his image fell sharply.

"Oh," Yu Jin sighed, and then said helplessly: "It's been almost half a month since I arrived in the capital. Speaking of this dress, it's really hard to describe it."

"I've been here for so long, why didn't I come here early?" Zhao Jin said with concern: "What happened?"

Yu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I went to Changning Street today to have a chance to have a carelessness. I was cut off my wallet by the thief and went to the Youcheng Military Command to report it. I didn't expect that I was stolen by that commander."

So Yu Jin told the matter from beginning to end, including passers-by saying that someone in the Military Affairs Office colluded with the thief and was sitting on the ground to share the spoils. Of course, he did not say that he deliberately exposed the money.

After saying that, he said with some shame: "That wallet is all the money for the younger generation. Without the money, it is difficult to move in the capital. He can't even afford the housing fee. He has no relatives, so he can only surrender to Uncle Zhao. He heard that the Censorate has a censor in the city, and the uncle is also the Censor of the Left Censor. He also wants to ask his uncle to be fair, otherwise he would not come to disturb his uncle."

"What, this is the case?" Zhao Jin was immediately angry when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said angrily: "Damn it, shameless, I don't do my own politics in his position, I don't know how to repay my kindness by eating the king's fortune, but I colluded with people from the lower ranks and were lawless at the feet of the emperor. I can't do it. This matter must be severely punished and severely punished."

The Ming Dynasty officials lived too hard, and they were busy with fire and charcoal. It was a custom in the officialdom, but it was just a difficult time to maintain public order in the capital. A deputy commander who maintained public order in the capital colluded with pickpockets and shared the spoils. It was simply unforgivable.

In addition, there are two reasons that make Zhao Jin angry. First, Yu Jin is a fellow villager and someone Zhao Jin values. Zhao Jin, who is used to protecting his shortcomings, is naturally very caring, and he is naturally unhappy when bullied by others. Second, Zhao Laohu actually said something insulting scholars, such as royal relatives and dogs, and Jinshi Juren walked all over the ground. What does this mean?

He looked down on scholars and even put them up and threw them out of the yamen. He was so brave.

Zhao Jin was furious when he was in charge.
