"I just know each other. There are so many officials in the Ministry of War and it's hard for them to get to know each other. They have to come and get to know you. Do you think you are the illegitimate son of your Lord Minister?"
Chen Dong nodded, then felt something was wrong and quickly shook his head.
In front of the furious Master, he found that he was not as calm as he thought. Especially, the Master did not believe what he said at all.
"Okay, let me ask you, what is the surname and official title of the person sent by the Zhenfu Division to get to know you?" Zhang Cai took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked.
Shaking his head, shaking his head again!
"We didn't talk about anything substantial. We don't even know the other party's name and official position. Is there any official in the Ming Dynasty who is more confused than you?" Zhang Cai's finger almost touched Chen Dong's nose: "Is it me? When I ask you questions, you think I am easy to deceive, and you have to let people from Dongchang come to ask you questions before you are willing to tell the truth!"
"No, mentor!" Chen Dong shouted, suddenly remembering that he had forgotten to mention an important detail: "Teacher, mentor, the master of the Zhenfu Division, is actually a girl, I heard They called her "Sir", so she must have a position in the Zhenfu Department. The teacher sent someone to check and found out that the student was not lying!"
"That's nonsense!" Zhang Cai couldn't bear it any longer, "Get out of here, no one is allowed to say anything about today's events, otherwise, you'll have to spend the rest of your life in prison in Dongchang!"
Chen Dong crawled out of the house. Zhang Cai rubbed his face to soften his face that had just turned ferocious due to anger. Then he turned around, sat down, and faced Someone shouted from outside: "Come here, go ask Yu Da Stall to come over!"
After a while, Yu Xiong hurriedly came to Zhang Cai. They were both Eunuch Liu's powerful eagle dogs. Wen and Wu had a good relationship on weekdays. Although in terms of rank, Zhang Cai didn't know how much higher he was than Yu Xiong, but , In front of Yu Xiong, he never had the arrogant attitude of a scholar towards a warrior. There were many times when he relied on Yu Xiong's force.
In order to prove his innocence, he invited Chen Dong to come over and even asked Chen Dong. Zhang Cai asked people from Dongchang to participate in it. With Zhang Cai's scheming attitude, how could he not grasp the appropriateness of this kind of thing? Yu Xiong even asked Chen Dong at this moment. While drinking tea in his side hall, he was naturally there as soon as he was called.
"How about it, Mr. Zhang, ask if there is anything!" Yu Xiong said cheerfully. After all, he is Zhang Cai's disciple. Zhang Cai did not say that he would hand over the person to their Dongchang. If there was no order from Eunuch Liu, he would still be willing to sell it. Zhang Cai doesn't want to interfere without authorization.
"That's a bad guy. He must have been used as a gun!" Zhang Cai shook his head. After a moment of calmness, he thought about Chen Dong's words and thought that Chen Dong's words were most likely true. Chen Dong There is no need to tell lies in front of him if you don't have the guts. He should know the consequences of getting involved in such things.
"Let me just say, the gang of boys below are suspicious. The Zhenfu Division may have had some prestige before, but now the emperor favors our Eunuch Liu. They don't have much of that prestige left. How dare they scheme against Mr. Zhang!"
Yu Xiong laughed and said, looking very relieved for Zhang Cai, but Zhang Cai knew that even if he said so, the matter would definitely not be settled like this, and the people in Dongchang would definitely monitor Chen Dong very much. For a long time, however, it had little to do with him.
"By the way, Yu Statou, Dongchang and Zhenfu Division have not dealt with each other for so many years. Everyone knows that, as the saying goes, you can fight a hundred battles if you know yourself and the enemy. Presumably, Yu Statou is still very clear about the situation in Zhenfu Division."
"That's natural!" Yu Xiong nodded proudly: "Toothless tigers are also tigers. Our Dongchang has been guarding against them. If Mr. Zhang wants to ask anything, just ask. If we don't know and ask others, then
I don’t even know!”
"Just now, the guy said that the people who met him from Zhenfusi were led by women. After careful investigation, they found out that they were from Nanzhenfusi. However, I don't seem to have heard of any women.
Those who work as servants among them, especially, seem to have titles!" Zhang Cai shook his head and said in confusion: "If the imperial court decrees that the border residents in the southwest and northwest frontiers who are not convinced by the king, and any woman gets the title of the imperial court, I will not
It’s strange, but it’s a bit strange that there is a female official in the Zhenfu Department, isn’t it?”
"That's impossible!" Yu Xiong denied: "In our Dongchang, it is possible to use a few women, but if you want to get a job title, you don't even have to think about it. When will all the men in our Ming Dynasty die?
We need to use women to run the errands!”
After finishing his sonorous and powerful words, Yu Xiong seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment. Zhang Cai keenly captured Yu Xiong's hesitation.
"You might as well just say whatever comes to your mind. It's not surprising that there may be some exceptions to everything!"
"I have thought of something, but I haven't heard anything from them for so many years, and I don't know if these people are still working. If that woman is one of these people, it wouldn't be surprising!"
"Oh!" Zhang Cai said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, and I'll just talk about it as gossip during the rest of the night. I've gained a lot of experience!"
"Mr. Zhang, you know that in addition to the things that are put in front of people on the surface, our Dongchang also has some people who do dirty work. Things that are inconvenient for adults to do, things that are not on the table, and things that can't be done on the table, right?
These people are usually the ones who make people take the blame. Most of these people are recruited from the public. Some of them are pardoned from prisons with the grace given by the father-in-law. Although they are not very good people, they are good people.
Everyone has a talent, and it is best to use it as a knife!"
"Yes!" Zhang Cai nodded. He had vaguely heard about this kind of thing. However, this was the first time that Yu Xiong had said it to him so clearly today. With such a dark power, he naturally
No evaluation will be made.
"When the Zhenfu Division was powerful, they also had a group of people like this!" Yu Xiong smiled: "Otherwise, you might think that the Zhenfu Division would take a few officials and raid their homes several times, and then they would be famous all over the world.
What?"
"What do you mean, that woman might be in the hands of someone like Zhen Fusi?" Zhang Cai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked. He hated the feeling of being threatened by uncontrollable power.
"I mean it's possible. After all, most of these people are unruly people, both men and women. It's possible to give them an official title within the Zhenfu Division to subdue them. Moreover, the Zhenfu Division Yamen has its own
Department, when the titles of some minor officials are distributed, there is no need to file them with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval. It is normal for outsiders not to know the existence of these people!"
Yu Xiong's face also became a little weird: "What if, I mean what if this is the case, this matter will be a bit complicated. Sir, I have to send someone to check. We are used to living with the wind.
Don’t be fooled by these guys!”
"Well, I have some free time then. If you find out anything, you must tell me!"
