After returning to the mansion, Li Rusong ordered the manager again: "Send another box to the Lin mansion!"
Brother Jiuyuan does things quickly, and we, the Li family, can't let anything go wrong!
Xing Shangzhi, the preface class from Honglu Temple, a ninth-grade miscellaneous official, walked on the street in a group of five and six people with great arrogance.
The reason why he is so arrogant is not because he is a ninth-grade miscellaneous official, but because of another identity - the steward of Zhang Jing, the governor of the East Factory, also called the headmaster.
With this identity, he can act arrogantly against most people.
One of the most proud things in Xing Shangzhi's life was that he had a conflict with the grandson of his former chief minister Xu Jie on the road a few years ago. In the end, Xu Jie's grandson was forced to come to his door and apologize to him with a heavy gift of money.
Of course, there have been several generations of chief ministers from Xu Jie to now, and the political world has gone through great changes. Xu Jie's influence has become very small, and people are also dead.
Moreover, Xu Jie, the grandson of Xu Jie, had no future. He only relied on his grandfather's status to favor a minor official in Guanglu Temple.
Today Eunuch Zhang is sleeping in the palace and has not gone to the outer house, so Xing Shangzhi does not have to wait on him and can go back to his house to rest.
When Butler Xing turned into the alley where his house was located, he saw a tall and majestic man wearing a cap with most of his face covered, blocking the way with his arms crossed.
After being startled, Butler Xing yelled: "Get out of the way, dead dog! Don't block the way!"
If I hadn't seen you in fancy clothes, I would have thought you were Lin Tailai!
Everyone in the capital knew that Lin Zhuangyuan had an elegant taste and loved to beat people in long gowns or official robes, and never wore low-end clothes such as short beating attire.
The well-dressed giant man said in a deep voice: "I am Zhang Erhe. I came to visit Butler Xing today just to lend you some money."
Xing Shangzhi sneered and said: "You have to be more careful about pretending! Why don't you explain it in more detail, such as lending me my head?"
Before he finished speaking, the giant man on the opposite side rushed over with his men, and a group of big men also appeared behind him!
After a while, Butler Xing and his seven or eight followers jumped out!
Butler Xing was pushed to the ground by the big men, then gagged, blindfolded, and tied up in one go. He was quite skillful and professional!
In the blink of an eye, a group of people disappeared from the alley in the dark night.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a rude knock on the door of a small bureaucrat named Xu from Guanglu Temple!
Immediately, a group of big men broke into the front yard, and the leading man in well-dressed clothes went into the front hall and said to the little bureaucrat named Xu: "I have already brought the people over!"
Then the big men threw the blindfolded, gagged, and tied Xing Shangzhi down the steps, waiting to be dealt with.
The young bureaucrat surnamed Xu looked at Butler Xing outside the house. Thinking of the humiliation he suffered a few years ago, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I have already planned to resign and return to my hometown, but before I leave, I don't want to see this person with all his limbs intact! Otherwise, it will not only be a shame for me personally, but also a shame for my family ancestors!"
The well-dressed man almost gave a thumbs up subconsciously and said in praise: "Although your grandson's grades in the imperial examination are terrible, his behavior is still somewhat ancestral!"
Yes, this little bureaucrat named Xu is the grandson of Xu Jie, the one who was bullied by Xing Shangzhi.
Afterwards, the man dressed up as a giant waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to go about their work. He also handed a letter to Xu Jie's grandson, pleading:
"Thank you, Master Xu, for visiting Wang Da Sima and helping with the negotiations. When Master Xu returns to his hometown and passes by Suzhou, be sure to stop by Canglang Pavilion for a few days. I would like to thank you very much!
In addition, if the dredging project of the old Wusong River is started, Mr. Xu, who lives in the countryside of Yunjian, will be able to guide the project."
Wang Yi'e, the Minister of War, was a disciple of Xu Jie. He became a Jinshi at the age of nineteen and was deeply appreciated by Xu Jie.
However, Xu Jie's time as chief assistant was not too long. Fortunately, Wang Yi'e was young and could use his time to gain seniority, and he managed to become Minister of the Ministry of War in another twenty years.
Escorting Xu Jie's grandson to Wang Da Sima's residence, the figure of the giant man in fine clothing disappeared into the vast night.
He is like a hard-working city hero, rushing to his next destination.
Before Wang Da Sima could sleep, he heard that the descendant of his mentor was visiting, so he went to the door to greet him personally, even though he was just a humble official.
After sitting down in the study, Xu Jie's grandson said: "I have already planned to leave the capital and never come back. But before I leave, I have to ask Grand Sima for something."
These words are very serious. With today's transportation conditions, the north and the south are two to three thousand miles apart. Maybe if we separate today, we will say goodbye forever.
Wang Yi'e also became serious and asked: "What is going on?"
Xu Jie's grandson replied: "Nominate Wang Xiangqian, the right political strategist of Shoukou North Road, as governor of Xuanfu."
Wang Yi'e asked again: "Who asked the nephew? Da Situ or Lin Jiuyuan?"
Xu Jie's grandson took out the letter and said to Wang Yi'e, "It was Lin Jiuyuan who entrusted me with this."
After Wang Yi'e received the letter, he said thoughtfully: "If it's Lin Jiuyuan, it's not impossible."
