Jiang Wan looked at the tough and capable young man in front of her, nodded slightly, and smiled half-heartedly at Xu Bai: "Is your surname also Xu?"
"Xu Jian is my clan brother, my clan brother!" Xu Bai laughed: "I, Qingyun Tower, have been able to do business here safely for so long, because I have many clan brothers to take care of me!"
"Until Zheng Bajin fell in love with your place?" Jiang Wan turned around and said to Xu Jian: "The general banner of Qianhu Office in Dongcheng cannot offend the stall owners of Dongchang. I seem to understand!"
Xu Jian blushed slightly, but did not dare to refute these words. Although Jiang Wan's words were a bit harsh, the truth was true. He was a general bannerman, but in front of a small stall in Dongchang, he was nothing, not even a person.
Ordinary fans can have five or six people in front of him.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for rescuing our brother Xu Bai!" Xu Jian said: "If Xu Jian is needed in the future, Mr. Jiang may give orders, but Xu Jian can't help with big things, but Xu Jian can still help with some small things."
of!"
"It's polite to say that Mr. Xu Qi!" Jiang Wan laughed: "I, Jiang Wan, also like to make friends like Mr. Xu Qi, not to mention the relationship with your brother. From now on, we are all our own people, there is no need to be like this
polite!"
"Then I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give you a toast to Mr. Xu!" Xu Jian suddenly became energetic and picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Wan drank a glass with a smile. Seeing the two of them put down their glasses, Xu Bai also stood up with a smile and refilled the glasses for the two of them. After this glass of wine, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be much more harmonious.
Although Xu Jian seemed a little reserved when she met Xu Bai for the first time, with Xu Bai helping to smooth things over, there was never a moment of silence.
When Jiang Wan woke up in this era, he was a weak scholar. Although he had planned a way out for himself, there were many things that he could not take for granted. Even in the era of the explosion of knowledge, some things were
Only the parties involved will always know the details.
For example, some things inside Jinyiwei.
As a well-known secret service agency in the Ming Dynasty, it has always been covered with a mysterious veil to those who are not part of it. From the history that Jiang Wan learned, Jinyiwei seemed to have done nothing during the Chongzhen period.
And with the white silk dress worn in the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Jin Yiwei almost disappeared in the long river of history.
At the moment, what he knows is that the current commander of Jinyiwei is Luo Sigong, an old man who has been on the commander of Jinyiwei since the 40th year of Wanli. However, if nothing goes wrong, this man will soon
Wei Zhongxian will squeeze him out and then arrange for his own people.
In addition to these, he also knew that Jinyiwei had two major town Fusi and four thousand-household offices in the capital, namely the north and south townfusi, and four thousand-household offices in the four cities of southeast, northwest and northwest, and each thousand-household office had its own jurisdiction.
, Jin Yiwei even collects some "protection fees" from merchants in the area under its jurisdiction, which is what Xu Bai said is Jin Yiwei's safety money. In addition to supervising hundreds of officials, Jin Yiwei also has the responsibility of patrolling and apprehending. Obviously, up to now, this
They used their powers very flexibly.
The people of the capital would not be surprised to see the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division patrolling the streets; nor would the people of the capital be surprised to see the officers and men in uniform patrolling the streets in twos and threes. To the common people, this is not surprising.
It's a normal thing, just like paying Ping An money in a shop. If you pay Ping An money, you may not be fine. However, if you don't pay this money, you will definitely be in trouble. This is common sense!
Now that he was sitting face to face with the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, and he was still somewhat fawning over him, Jiang Wan naturally asked about some things in the Jinyiwei without any politeness.
Xu Jian also answered all questions. He didn't think these things could be kept secret. Instead, he felt that Jiang Wan was interested in these things and that it was a good thing for him and Jiang Wan to have something to talk about.
"Mr. Jiang will come to my place often in the future, Xu Jian, you have to be more careful!" Xu Bai said intentionally or unintentionally while the two were talking: "Mr. Jiang, don't be polite. If you have something to do, call him directly. His father
I have been working as a royal guard all my life, but I have not seen much success. Today he has to meet a noble man like Mr. Jiang, and the old guy is afraid that he will laugh from ear to ear in the coffin!"
"I'm not a noble person either!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "I'm just a handyman working around the prince. How can I compare with the dignified and seventh-grade facial features of big brother Xu Jian!"
After drinking and eating, Xu Jian insisted on sending Jiang Wan back. It wasn't until she saw Jiang Wan walking into the side door of the Tenth Prince's Mansion and greeting the guard guarding the door with a smile that Xu Jian turned around with satisfaction and headed towards Qingyun Tower.
"Brother will not harm you!"
Seeing Xu Bai, Xu Bai spit out the breath of alcohol: "Zheng Bajin is dead!"
"He's dead. How come he died? Why don't I know!" Xu Jian was stunned for a moment, then showed joy: "Then I don't have to worry about that guy anymore about my brother's business!"
"Is this my business now?" Xu Bai sighed: "If someone from Dongchang is dead, I don't need to tell you, the general banner of Dongcheng Qianhu Office. Mr. Najiang said this news. He doesn't need to
Lied to me!"
"That's why eldest brother asked me to come and meet him today?" Xu Jian felt a little moved: "However, this man looks young, and he may not have much status in the Tenth Prince's Palace. If you want to make friends, you have to make friends.
The people behind him are of some use!"
"It's because you are young!" Xu Bai glanced at his clan brother lightly: "His Royal Highness King Xin is also young, isn't it of little use?"
Xu Jian was speechless. How could this be the same thing?
"Don't worry about expenses. The general flag you bought with money has come to an end at this position. If you still want to make a difference, in addition to money, you have to hire people!" Xu Bai sighed.
Tone: "We should be clear about Zheng Bajin's matter. Even if you have some money, you still can't withstand the words of a powerful person. You, the general banner of the Imperial Guard, are nothing in this capital!"
"In short, since we accidentally caught up with the Tenth Prince's Palace, we have to run it well. This Jiang Wan is the biggest connection between us and the Tenth Prince's Palace. If we take good care of him, is it right?
Are we still afraid that we won’t get to know more noble people from the palace in the future?”
"I understand!" Xu Jian nodded: "When we broke up, I told Jiang Wan that if anything happens, just send someone to Big Brother to tell him!"
"That's not enough!" Xu Bai shook his head: "You wait until someone has something to do to come to you. How shameless are you? You still think you are more capable than the people in the palace. They can even kill Zheng Bajin, but you are nothing in front of Zheng Bajin.
I don’t even dare to take a breath!”
"Then what should I do?" Xu Jian asked cautiously.
"You have to be on call when you need something, and you have to show up to him and serve him whenever you have nothing to do. Otherwise, who will remember you when you really need a favor?" Xu Bai said: "In the future, our restaurant will not only
I only send this amount of money to the palace every month, and you will send all kinds of seasonal fruits, exquisite food and other things every three to five times. You have to be smart, this is an opportunity that not everyone can have!"
Xu Jian looked at her brother's expectant eyes, and her face became solemn: "Brother, don't worry, I will do it!"
