marquis of jingan

Chapter 242 There are people in the yamen who can handle things!
After the uncle returned to his hometown, Shen Yi went to the Shen family's mansion less frequently. Except for the first time he went to the Shen's mansion for a meal, he seldom went there afterwards. Most of the time he stayed at his own home, or simply went to the academy Stay for a few days.

After all, that day, Shen Yi pissed off Shen Hui quite a bit. Although Shen Hui didn't fall out with Shen Yi, the "future star" of the Shen family, he felt somewhat unhappy.

The days passed day by day, and it was the 25th of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and there were only five days left before the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, the academy is on vacation, and both brothers Shen Yi and Shen Heng have returned to their homes. Shen Heng will occasionally ask Shen Yi for advice on how to write a policy discussion. Give it all.

After the Chinese New Year, Shen Heng is going to take the county exam.

In comparison, the age of his entrance examination was more than one year younger than that of Shen Yi at that time. If Shen Heng could pass the examination as smoothly as Shen Yi, then the Shen family in Shen Yi's generation would usher in "Zhongxing". restore the decline of the decline.

While the two brothers were studying at home, a middle-aged man in a thick cotton coat came to the door of Shen's house and asked to see Shen Yi.

Originally, Shen Yi had been very troubled in the past few months, and had rarely received outside guests, but after hearing this person's name, Shen Yi immediately had someone invite him into the study.

The condition of Shen's family is better now, and the stove was also lit in Shen Yi's study, and the charcoal was lit. After the middle-aged man arrived in Shen Yi's study, he respectfully saluted Shen Yi: "Master Shen."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "I have told Brother Tian many times, there is no need to see each other, let's just call him the same as before."

Tian Boping hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and called out to the young master, then carefully sat down on the chair.

The current "social status" of the two people is too far apart, even a young man like Tian Boping has to be trembling in front of Shen Yi.

After sitting down, Tian Boping lowered his head and said, "Young Master, you asked the villain to investigate the affairs of Mr. Luo Maocai, and the villain did."

"Luo Maocai hasn't shown up much in Jiangdu City since the Ma family went bankrupt last year. The villain checked it out. He seems to have traveled far away and hasn't been in Jiangdu for a long time. He didn't return to Jiangdu until half a month ago. ,should be…"

"It should be back to Jiangdu for the New Year."

Speaking of this, Tian Boping paused, and continued: "As for Ma Jun and Qian Tong you mentioned, young master, I haven't heard that they came back from other places, but..."

The local snake in Jiangdu paused, and then continued: "However, these two people were exiled to Lingnan. Even if they come back from Lingnan, it is estimated that they will not show up in Jiangdu mansion again in a short time. The villain guessed... "

"At least they won't be able to return to Jiangdu until after the next amnesty."

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Although such things as amnesty are not common, as far as Shen Yi knows, the next amnesty is not far away.

That is the emperor's wedding.

According to all the information Shen Yi knew, and with reference to the age of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a high probability that the Emperor will get married next year, which is the seventh year of Hong De.

Shen Yi sat on his chair, thought about it seriously, and then looked at Tian Boping with a smile on his face: "Brother Tian, ​​you have worked hard."

Although Tian Boping is very popular in Jiangdu Prefecture, in the end, he is just a green skin. There is no problem asking him to inquire about some well-known information. If you want him to investigate some unknown secrets, just Some strong people are difficult.

For example, if Shen Yi needed the black information about Luo Maocai's Luo family, it was impossible for Tian Boping to find out.

Therefore, Shen Yi needs a more powerful source of information, preferably not limited to Jiangdu Mansion, but able to investigate the whole territory of Dachen, and even Northern Qi...

Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly remembered what Zhang Jian said.

Zhang Xianzun once said that if the Di Baosi continues to develop like this, it may become an indispensable and important force in the court in the future, and those who collect materials for the Di Baosi will also change the Di Baosi from a culture. Media agencies, evolved into intelligence agencies!
But the current Dibaosi seems too primitive.

Shen Qilang secretly thought in his heart.

"It seems that when I go to Jiankang next year, I want to find a way to compete for the mansion office. In this regard, I have an inherent advantage. Even if I can't win the position of the mansion office, I still have to find a way to get a part of the mansion office. the power of..."

When Shen Yi came back to his senses, he found that Tian Boping was still in his study. He smiled at Tian Boping and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you have worked hard."

"My little friends in Jiankang will come back to Jiangdu the day after tomorrow. Then you bring your son to me. If he is willing, let my little friends take him to do things next year."

"I dare not say that I am very rich, but I have a little surplus without worrying about food and clothing. There must be no problem."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Let him save some money, marry a wife in two years, and give birth to a big fat grandson for Brother Tian..."

Tian Boping's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He first thanked Shen Yi, and then complained in a low voice: "You don't follow my surname, and whether you have grandchildren or not, what does it matter?"

That's what I said, but Tian Laoba was still very happy, and went to thank Shen Yi with a thousand gratitude.

After Tian Boping left, Shen Yi sat alone in the study for a while. In the afternoon, he changed his clothes and went out. He came to the county government office and asked to see the magistrate.

Soon Shen Yi was taken to the back office of the county government by the yamen. A little girl who looked left and right saluted Shen Yi and said, "Young Master Shen, come with me. My master is waiting for you in the study."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Then ask the little madam to lead the way."

This little girl is Zhang Jian's concubine in Jiangduna.

Zhang Xianzun was married in Jiankang, and had two sons, but his family had a big business, and his wife took care of the big family there in Jiankang. He was a little lonely working in Jiangdu, so he took a concubine in Jiangdu.

Of course, "little madam" is a polite and slightly teasing term, which is not used in ordinary times. After all, the status of this concubine's room is very different from that of Zhang Jian's official wife.

If you are serious, you should call her nickname, or something like "Sister Qiao'er" or "Sister Xing'er".

The woman also knew that Shen Yi was joking, she blushed, lowered her head and said, "Master, you made fun of me."

In this way, under the leadership of this little lady, Shen Yi came to the study of the magistrate. At this moment, the magistrate was sitting behind the desk, very busy. After seeing Shen Yi walking in, he put down the brush, reached out and stroked his forehead.

"There are more and more bad things at the end of the year, which annoys me so much."

Zhang Xianzun complained: "The county magistrate attached to the profile is really unlucky. Everything in the government office is pushed to my county office!"

Fukuo magistrate has 360 five days a year, and it is not surprising that there are [-] days of scolding Shangguan. After Zhang Jian finished complaining, he looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "Why is Ziheng here? It's rare that you are willing to take the initiative Find me."

Shen Yi found a chair and sat down, smiled and said: "I heard that the county lord will return to Jiankang for the New Year tomorrow, so I came to see the county lord off."

The Dachen court had a holiday, usually on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the official start of work was after the Lantern Festival. However, Zhang Jianjian rushed back to Jiankang, so he planned to go home a few days earlier.

"Just because I have to go back tomorrow."

The county lord looked at the mountain of official documents on the table, and said distressedly: "I have to deal with all these things today, I'm too busy."

Shen Yi sat down carelessly.

"Don't worry, brother, you are busy with your work, I will watch here, and when you are done, let's go have a drink."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi suspiciously.

"Zi Heng, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you come to the door suddenly today, I'm afraid you are not just here to drink with me?"

"Of course I came to drink, but besides drinking, there is another small thing."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "My little brother has a few friends who lived on the streets of Jiangdu in the early years and made a living by begging. Now they can live well, but they have not yet settled down. They will return to Jiangdu in the day after tomorrow. Senior brother will leave tomorrow, so... "

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and coughed.

"So I'm here to ask the senior brother for a settlement note on their behalf."
