Being promoted from the chief banner of Jinyiwei to Deputy Qianhu was a major event for Xu Jian. Moreover, as far as Jinyiwei was concerned, this leapfrog promotion was tantamount to telling everyone that this person either had great achievements or had great power behind him.
What great merit can a general bannerman patrolling the streets achieve? Catching a few thieves on the street will not accomplish anything until he dies. Then, there can only be someone behind the scenes.
Even though Xu Jian hid it, the specific details of his promotion to Deputy Qianhu were eventually leaked. The new commander personally named him. It is said that this promotion was all done by Qian Qianhu of Dongchang Qianhu Office.
Take your experience with you to complete all the procedures.
Is such a happy event worthy of a big celebration?
Xu Jian wanted to set up a few tables in Qingyun Tower, and a group of brothers from Qianhu came to join in the fun, but Xu Bai stopped him.
"At this time, we can't make it public. The person who deserves to be thanked has been thanked. Let's just close the door and be happy about it. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be jealous!"
"Thank you all!" Xu Jian counted on his fingers: "We Qianhu adults, experienced Si's great experience, and even Mr. Xu..."
"Have you forgotten someone?" Xu Bai squinted at him: "You have forgotten the person you should thank the most!"
"Oh, brother, you mean Mr. Jiang!" Xu Jian patted his head and laughed: "I didn't forget it. I told Mr. Jiang about this a long time ago. Mr. Jiang said he didn't need to take it to heart. Thank you.
Thank you, it’s not about our gifts or anything like that, it’s about what I can do!”
"Yes, I have helped you so much because of your gifts and money?" Xu Bai nodded: "They are so short of you?"
"Don't worry, I know what I know!" Xu Jian smiled softly and said, "Mr. Jiang said that if I want His Highness King Xin to look at me seriously, I must at least be a member of a thousand households before I think about it. We are all like a thousand households now.
You can also think about this matter!"
"That's because your chief flag officer was too young in the past. He wanted people but no one, wanted power but no authority. Even if people wanted to use you, you couldn't get on the stage!" Xu Bai pointed out: "It's better now, more or less.
Now that you have some skills, you should keep a low profile and not be arrogant. If there are any orders from the palace, you must handle them neatly!"
Xu Jian rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and did not speak after all.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" Xu Bai glanced at him.
"You can't talk about this!" Xu Jian glanced at Xu Bai with a smile: "Mr. Jiang has ordered that even close relatives cannot talk about this matter!"
"Is there an errand for you so soon?" Xu Bai was not angry but happy: "This is a good thing, it means that you are really useful. You don't have to tell me, and I won't ask. In short, you did a good job.
!”
Xu Jian answered with a smile and went out, heading straight for Nancheng, where a group of brothers who were his former commander were already waiting for him in a tea shed.
Although he had just taken up the post of Deputy Qianhu and did not have the right to promote old brothers, it was still a problem to transfer the trustworthy old brothers to his side. He just casually mentioned it to Qianhu and it was done.
"Boss, he hasn't come back yet, he's been watching!"
"Tell Mr. Qianhu to return the favor!"
A captain in Jinyi slapped his companion: "Believe it or not, Master Qianhu will kick you to death!"
"Deputy Qianhu, don't scream, let Mr. Qianhu hear it. I Qianhu's butt is not yet hot, but you will be pushed to the bench again, you will be happy!"
Xu Jian laughed and scolded the brother, then sat down and said, "Are you sure everyone is right? Don't arrest the wrong person and make a joke!"
"You're right. When I went out in the morning, I went to see his neighbor!" A brother next to him nodded: "It's just that we changed our clothes and talked better than before wearing official clothes! We scared the neighbors several times.
Let him be sensible!"
"Then wait!" Xu Jian nodded, looked at the table, and shouted to Dr. Tea: "Add some more tea, snacks or something, pick it up!"
A group of people were talking and laughing in the tea shop, but it was different from the past. These old brothers were affectionate towards Xu Jian, but in this intimacy, there was more unabashed flattery and flattery. This feeling,
It made Xu Jian feel very comfortable.
"Boss, I heard that you have met the commander?"
"Um!"
"Or was it recommended by someone who believed in the prince?"
"Um?"
"Boss, you are so secretive. Didn't you see that when our hundreds of households heard the news that you were promoted to deputy 1,000 households, their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot? You still want to take advantage of you, boss?"
In the blink of an eye, the boss has become his boss, and he has to call you "Sir" when he sees you!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A group of people were passing the time talking and laughing in the tea shop, watching the sun slowly go down. Suddenly, someone said softly: "People are back!"
Xu Jian suddenly became energetic and looked forward. He saw a small green cloth sedan swinging from a short distance away, and then stopped at the entrance of the alley. A shriveled old man walked out of the sedan.
Come down and head towards the alley.
"It's him!"
Xu Jian muttered something in a low voice, stood up and followed the figure, walking towards the alley. Behind him, everyone stood up and followed him.
Walking into the alley, the withered figure in the distance had just opened the door of a courtyard and walked in. Xu Jian took three steps and two steps at a time, and before the other party could react, he slapped him on the shoulder.
"Master Tian!"
The shriveled man shivered and turned around to see this group of tiger-like and wolf-like guys pouring into his yard: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Your story has been revealed!" Xu Jian smiled ferociously, and carried the old man in like an eagle catching a chicken. The guards behind him immediately dispersed, searching the house to see if anyone else was waiting.
"Are you from Dongchang?" The old man was put down and looked at Xu Jian in front of him with twinkling eyes.
"Are we similar?" Xu Jian sneered and said, "Do you know what we want from you? Should you follow us obediently, or should you be locked up and taken away? You can choose one!"
"Bold!" When he heard that the other party did not deny that they were from Dongchang, the old man suddenly became bolder: "I am the imperial physician of the imperial hospital, and I have also treated you, the admiral, for him. How dare you do this to me?
rude!"
"If you weren't the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, we wouldn't be looking for you!" Xu Jian curled his lips slightly, and the Jin Yiwei who was searching around came back and shook his head slightly at him.
"You won't be the only one living in your big house, right? Where are your wife, son, and servants? None of them are here?"
"They have all returned to their hometowns in the countryside!" The old man turned his head stubbornly: "If anything happens, just come to me. Humph, don't blame me for not reminding you. I will still treat the saintly empress tomorrow.
, you can’t afford the punishment for delaying a major event in the hospital!”
