Ji Tang

Chapter 1010: A branch of the surname Cheng
Zou Jin, the governor of Hangzhou, was at the residence of the local magistrate in Changzhou. He was originally a county magistrate there. He had some connections with the DPRK and China. He was a well-rounded man who rarely offended others. He had a good relationship with his colleagues and knew how to curry favor. My boss, who was rated above average in last year's assessment, and had been like this for the previous three years, was promoted to the position of Hangzhou Governor.

Hangzhou was called Jiangdu in the former Sui Dynasty, and it was Yang Guang's base camp. When Yang Guang found that the Sui Dynasty was no longer able to recover, he thought of Jiangdu, the place where he started.

But things did not go as planned. Under the general trend, people's support turned against him. Even his direct descendants betrayed him one by one, or looked on with cold eyes, and eventually died in Yu Wenhuaji's mutiny.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this place was the focus of attention of the Tang court officials. Suppression was the norm. Over the years, the original famous families had already declined!

In addition, they had made a mistake in siding with each other and were stabbed in the back by the Xiao family, which made them even worse. They were no longer as strong as before.

Under such circumstances, there is a sharp contrast with the four Jiangdong families. Not to mention the Gu, Zhang, and Wulu families, the Xie family has long since declined and has come up from behind, not to mention the Xie family in Chang'an.

Since you can't compare with others, you should keep a low profile, at least you won't be targeted.But I keep a low profile, but my family is worried!
My sister married into a wealthy family in Hangzhou, but the family only had an only son. She was doted on by all kinds of people, and she developed a lawless temper.

When I was in Changzhou, I heard that a lot of trouble had been caused, but after all, he was a powerful local man. Although he was not as powerful as the aristocratic family, the government still had some influence, so he suppressed the matter.

I had tried to persuade him, but I had agreed well in person, and the idea had taken hold. Ever since I became the governor of Hangzhou, I couldn't count how many favors I owed to my nephew.

This time, he was even more daring. Relying on his connections, he teamed up with the clerks of the governor's office to forge documents and land deeds. Now he even led people to rob other people's property. This finally made him angry.

But before he could do anything, his sister and brother-in-law came to the house, and his sister burst into tears.When he figured it out, he suddenly felt a thump in his heart!
"Little brother, you have to help your nephew this time. He has several broken ribs from being beaten. The doctor said that he may not be able to recover within this year. You go and arrest the man named Cheng now. We must make it difficult for him!”

"To shut up!"

The brother-in-law who had been sitting aside suddenly shouted.

"You dare to yell at me? I'll fight with you." Zou Jin's sister seemed to be used to being arrogant at home, and she pounced directly on her.

"Stop me all!"

Zou Jin was stunned, slapped the table and said angrily.

Zou Jin's sister was stunned and suddenly at a loss. Her younger brother had always been obedient to her. What happened this time?
"You still have the nerve to say that? Oh! Just arrest people if you ask me to. Do you think our family runs the court? You don't know what kind of virtue that boy is? How dare you use my reputation to forge land deed documents? Who gave him The courage?"

"Do you know what kind of crime this is? This is punishable by beheading!"

Zou Jin regrets it now. If he had known better, he should not have continued to indulge that boy, even if he had his legs broken.This matter is making a big fuss now, and the governor must know about it.

Now that they can't protect themselves, they still want to protect that bastard?

"Little brother, it's that kid's fault this time. It's because your sister and I have indulged him too much these years, which makes him so lawless. You can do whatever you want this time, as long as... as long as he doesn't die and leaves us a heir."

Brother-in-law Zou Jin also knew that the matter was serious this time, and they all knew about the conversation in front of Cheng Mansion that day.

They all knew Chen Yuanwu's background. Although he retired due to injury, the Colonel of the Qiaoqi Guards, one of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an, they had this relationship after all. No one was willing to offend him until it was a matter of life and death.

Maybe there is a distinguished person behind him. You must know that the generals of the Sixteenth Guards are basically served by distinguished generals. If you can achieve the position of captain, you don't have to talk about your ability. There must be someone above him.But that day Na Chengliang said that he was the former captain of Jinwu Guard?This scared him quite a bit!
What does Jinwuwei do?

They were the royal guards who patrolled the palace and the capital day and night, and still accompanied the emperor on his travels.

All Jinwu Guard officers were either nephews of court ministers or sons of nobles.It was to build a closer relationship between the royal family and the courtiers and nobles.

To put it simply, everyone who can enter Jinwu Guard either has a background or has family connections.Not to mention being able to hold the position of school captain at that time. If he was not a member of a noble family or a wealthy family, it would be impossible!

If that Cheng Liang is really the former captain of the Jinwu Guard, then the fun will be great, so great that it will break the sky.

My sister doesn't understand this, but if my brother-in-law doesn't understand, he won't be the head of the family.

Zou Jin felt a headache when he thought that they would come to visit him in three days.

After thinking about it, he still felt that he wanted to do something. It was not his character to just sit back and wait for death.Thinking of this, he quickly sent his sister and brother-in-law away and went out immediately.

Hangzhou Governor's Mansion.

The person who served as the governor of Hangzhou was none other than Qin Huaiyu, the eldest son of the Qin family.Other families may still avoid suspicion for various reasons, but the Lao Qin family is different.

Although the Qin family was also a military family for its ancestors, it had been in decline for a long time before the Sui Dynasty.

In addition, because of the war in Licheng, his hometown, the Qin family was scattered and scattered, and it was no longer the case.In addition, Qin Qiong has been recuperating at home these years and has not led troops to fight for many years, so his prestige in the army is not much.

Qin Huaiyu, the eldest of this generation of the Qin family, is pretty good, let alone the others.

Therefore, the Qin family can't retreat now. If they don't climb up quickly while Old Qin is still alive, if Qin Huaiyu can't take charge of it alone when Old Qin leaves, your Old Qin family will have no choice but to slowly fade out of people's sight.

On this day, Qin Huaiyu was having a banquet with guests, and this guest was none other than Cheng Liang, the head of the married family.

"I didn't tell my brother that I was here. This is not kind!"

Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth and complained.

Cheng Liang, for more than a year, it should be Ji Liang, but the surname was changed after the family separation. Cheng Nai is one of the changing surnames of the ancestor of the Ji family. After the family separation, many people changed their surname to Cheng or Xi.

Back then, Qin Huaiyu was sent to Ji's Academy by his father. Because they were similar in age, the two were considered classmates together. In addition, the two had a good relationship and got along well, so they gradually became friends.

Although Chengliang is not the main lineage of the Ji family, he is still considered one of the three direct lineages and the grandson of the third uncle.His status in the clan is pretty good.Ji Song originally sent him to Jinwu Guard for training for a few years, but he later withdrew.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with that kid? He's scratched alive or something like that. Just give me the rules and my brother will definitely take care of it for you."
