Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 112 The poor man Zhang Lang mistook the beautiful woman! Zhang Chonghui: I really have no money!

"Rehabilitate?"

Shen Yiguan was only slightly surprised to vindicate such a big thing for Zhang Juzheng, and did not react as excitedly as Yu Shenxing did at the beginning.

In the end, Shen Yiguan's update was just that he was a little embarrassed: "Your grandfather was a criminal who was convicted by the emperor himself. It seems a little difficult to rehabilitate him, right?"

Shen Guanguan spoke calmly and only said "it seems a little difficult", but in fact he was already shouting in his heart:

"It's more than just! Some! Difficult! That's more difficult than going up! Qing! Heaven! Ah!"

However, Shen Yiguan did not tell the 'truth' because he wanted to 'try' Zhang Chonghui and see if this young man had a 'one shot' in his heart!
"I know it's difficult to rehabilitate." Zhang Chonghui seemed quite confident and said, "But don't be afraid! Yu Shenxing has helped my grandfather collect a lot of evidence to help rehabilitate him!"

Hearing this, Shen Guanyi only nodded slightly and said: "Well, it would be much better if there is evidence. In this way, it seems that the difficulty of rehabilitating your grandfather will be much easier."

Zhang Chonghui seemed not to notice anything, and said in a very "shameless" manner:

"Yes, as long as the evidence is sufficient! At that time, Mr. Shen, who has become the chief minister of the cabinet, will only need you to encourage the ministers in the court to pass on the 'evidence' that clears my grandfather's crime to the emperor!"

I think that after the emperor sees those 'evidences', he will 'definitely' be able to restore my grandfather's innocence! It will also 'definitely' give the descendants of my Zhang family eternal peace of mind, and avoid the stigma of being 'the queen of guilty ministers'!

"Yeah, that's fine." Shen Yiguan nodded again and again, already knowing in his heart that the other party was a stupid young man who didn't have a 'one shot' in his heart.

"Smart, but too young." This is Shen Guanyi's inner evaluation of Zhang Chonghui so far.

Although he knew that 'rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng' was not as simple as Zhang Chonghui's 'few words', Shen Yiguan didn't say anything, and even suggested to the other party very 'intimately':

"By the way, we need to have witnesses when the time comes. Only in this way can we vindicate Grandfather Qi and have a better chance of winning."

Zhang Chonghui even nodded in 'agreement', "Master Shen said that there really needs to be a witness. I'll have someone look for him later."

At this point in the conversation, both of them seemed to have 'recognized' the matter of rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng, which would be a stable and successful success sooner or later.

Zhang Chonghui had already begun to 'imagine the future', and he said proudly and confidently:

"When I get rid of the infamy of being a guilty minister, I will definitely take the imperial examination and become an official! I don't believe that it is so difficult to pass the imperial examination for the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Chonghui's arrogant words did not seem to take into account the "imperial examination road" that had buried countless poor students who studied hard.

This behavior is like that of a stupid young man who has not been severely beaten by society.

Shen Yiguan had seen many such "second-rate men", and while he couldn't help but feel contempt and ridicule in his heart, he said with a smile on his face:
"Chonghui, you are the grandson of Zhang Taiyue. Zhang Taiyue is a well-known child prodigy! In addition, your father and your two uncles are also first-class Jinshis! I believe that you will be better than others, far better than others. Beyond them!”

Faced with such obvious 'flattering', Zhang Chonghui acted like he didn't hear it, and said with an arrogant smile: "Hahaha, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"

"Hahaha." Shen Yiguan also smiled and agreed, but in his heart he really wanted to see the other party's miserable face crying after he failed!

Shen Guangyuan firmly believes in one truth, that is, climbing high and falling heavy!
In the face of "arrogant" young people like "Zhang Chonghui" who are "little smart", just praise them and that's it! The more you praise him, the more beautiful he becomes! The more he floats, the harder he falls!

Don't ask Shen Yiguan why he knows it so well. He was a Jinshi scholar at the age of almost 40, and he has already gained experience after falling so many times.

"So, Lord Shen, are you agreeing to rehabilitate my grandfather?" Zhang Chonghui seemed to be 'confirming again and again'.

"Hahaha." Shen Yiguan said with a smile while stroking his beard: "As the saying goes, we are all in the same boat. If you can really help me get into the cabinet, then I will definitely help you, right?"

"Then I'll thank Master Shen first!" Zhang Chonghui looked grateful when he heard this, and then he hesitated for a while and said sheepishly:
"And... from now on, when you come to the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister... the junior generation's imperial examination career... will have to rely more on your support, Mr. Shen Ge?"

Zhang Chonghui changed his tone very quickly, saying "you" and "Mr. Shen Ge" again, as if he was eager to "please" to Shen Yiguan.

This made Shen Yiguan, who had been scolded several times for being stupid by Zhang Chonghui, extremely happy!
"Oh, you haven't even finished your horoscope yet! Why do you call me that? There are no rules! It's a joke!"

Shen always scolded angrily, but in fact, the curve of the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed.

However, Zhang Chonghui still smiled and complimented: "Mr. Shen Ge, you are indeed a true gentleman! I just said that I didn't misjudge the person when I was in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice!"

It is somewhat ironic to praise people as "gentlemen" in the land of brothels. However, since ancient times, the "gentleman's elegance" of many literati and poets actually came from the land of fireworks.

By the way, Shen Yiguan had no intention of rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng at all.

Shen Yiguan didn't know what Zhang Chonghui's "real purpose" was. He always felt that the other party's purpose was "definitely" more than just "rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng"!
And judging from the current situation, let alone such a fantasy as rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng, it is hard to say whether Zhang Chonghui can survive.

After all, the fact that Zhang Chonghui broke two teeth of His Royal Highness the Third Prince with his own hands is now widely spread. In addition, Zhang Chonghui is still "sinking" in the demon book case and has not "extracted" his origin.

Although Shen Yiguan had personally agreed not long ago that as the "old man" of the Hanlin Academy, he would put in a "kind" word for Zhang Chonghui on behalf of the Hanlin Academy when the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy jointly review the demon book case in a few days.

But 'promise' is just a 'verbal promise' after all. Whoever believes what the old fox says will be stupid.

Oh, of course, Zhang Chonghui had no intention of taking that bullshit imperial examination.

……

When Zhang Chonghui and Shen Yiguan came out of the wing, they looked like a pair of "year-old friends" who had an excellent relationship.

This scene shocked Yan'er, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time!
After all, not long ago, the old Hanlin was clamoring to have Zhang Xiaolangjun kicked out, but now these two people are like "brothers."

Yan'er couldn't help but wonder, what tricks did this young man use? She actually wanted to try it.

Just as Yan'er jumped up to Zhang Chonghui holding the 'picture and text' version of "Water Margin", a smell of "old man" stood between them.

"Yan'er, are you waiting for me?" Shen Yiguang approached her expectantly and asked, not because he thought he was very attractive, but mainly because he spent money and he believed in the 'professionalism' of this brothel woman.

"Ah? Ah..." Yan'er was also startled by the sudden appearance of Old Hanlin, and had no choice but to say a few perfunctory words:

"Well...Mr. Shen, are you finally out? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Shen? We...we?" Shen Yiguan seemed to have suffered a huge 'emotional injury'. He didn't even care that Zhang Chonghui was still beside him, and just sighed:

"Yan'er, why are you suddenly out of sight like this? Why don't you call me Shen Lang?"

"This..." Yan'er was a little speechless, thinking to herself, "You old guy is older than my father, so you are really not ashamed." At the same time, she still replied with a smile on her face:

"Mr. Shen, it was the slave family who was rude and called you a wrong name earlier. I hope you don't take offense to the slave family."

"How can you blame me?" Shen Guanyi said, raising his scratched right hand, waving it towards Yan'er several times, and said:

"Compared to calling me Mr. Shen, I prefer you, Yan'er, to call me Mr. Shen."

"Uh...Eh?" Yan'er seemed to have discovered something. Looking at Shen's 'injured' palm that was always pointing towards her, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah! What's going on?"

Shen Guanyi seemed to have just reacted, and said in an indifferent tone: "Ah, it doesn't matter, it's just a minor injury. Mr. Zhang Xiaolang didn't mean to hurt me."

"What?" Yan'er asked in shock, "Did Mr. Zhang Xiaolang hurt you?"

"Yeah." Shen Yiguan looked like he wanted to intercede for others again, and said quite kindly: "Yan'er, don't blame him, he didn't mean it, it's just..."

"Yeah!" Yan'er exclaimed again, and while 'accidentally' interrupting Shen Yiguan's 'miserable remarks', she hurriedly moved to Zhang Chonghui's side, and took the initiative to pick up the boy's hand with her delicate hands. , concerned and asked:

"Zhang Lang, let me see quickly, have you been accidentally injured?"

Shen Guanyi stretched his neck when he saw this! I thought he spent so much money and came here so many times, but this little beauty who couldn't even touch her took the initiative to hold Zhang Chonghui's hand! ?

"Yan'er, he's fine!" Shen Yigui shook his injured hand and said anxiously: "Although I may not be able to write again within this month, Yan'er, you must not 'blame' him ah!"

Shen Guangyuan made it clear that he was stirring up trouble, but the little girl who grew up in the land of fireworks acted as if she hadn't heard it. She actually nodded and said: "Well, Zhang Lang is still young. I don't blame him, and Mr. Shen, don't blame him either." .”

Shen Yiguan: "..." Zhang Chonghui, who had been silent until this moment, withdrew his eyes from the 'familiar figure' not far away, looked at the green-white thin fingers lightly resting on his palm, and asked blankly :
"What are you talking about? What cockroach?"

"Aren't you Zhang Lang?" Yan'er winked mischievously. As she spoke, she took out the book she had been holding in her arms for a long time with one hand, and hooked the young man's palm with the other. She lowered her eyebrows and blushed, and said coyly:
"Zhang Lang... I have the 24th and 25th chapters of "Water Margin" here. Do you want to... click me and let's... watch them together?"

Zhang Chonghui recalled the general content of Chapters 24 and 25. He realized that something might happen after he clicked, and finally replied honestly:
"I do not have money."

"Oh! Where are you thinking~" Yan'er covered her face in shame for a while, thinking that the young man had misunderstood her meaning:
"I'm just drinking with you, it's not...it's not that...you hate it~"

Yan'er didn't blame this young man for being poor. After all, if he wanted to buy her her first night, it would indeed require a lot of money.

Not to mention that 'mother' had given Yan'er many warnings and instructions, and if nothing else happened, her 'first night' would be reserved for a certain 'big shot'.

Zhang Chonghui didn't explain anything, he just asked: "How much does it cost for you to drink with me?"

As the "key training target" of this brothel, Yan'er's "tea fee" is naturally not much cheaper.

This time, Yan'er didn't answer yet, but Shen Yiguan, who looked a little redundant at the side, answered hurriedly:

"If you order her to accompany you for drinks, it will cost you fifty silver in half an hour!"

Shen Yiguan's 'rush to answer' was quite resentful. After all, he had spent fifty taels of silver and was 'disturbed' by Zhang Chonghui before he even touched the little beauty's hand!

Not only was the money wasted, but he still had to watch this pair of young people flirting with each other with sullen eyebrows. This really made the old man angry!
"Fifty taels?" Zhang Chonghui frowned slightly, then decisively withdrew the hand held by Yan'er, and said seriously:

"My family is poor, so I'll say goodbye."

"Ah?" Yan'er was confused, thinking that she had met a lot of poor scholars, all of whom were trying to make themselves fat and looked for excuses to show off their face even if they had no money.

But this was the first time she had encountered someone like Zhang Chonghui who just said his family was poor and ran away!
Not to mention, this is the first time Yan'er has 'actively' invited people to watch her "Water Margin"!
The little girl who has always been praised by others is somewhat arrogant. Seeing that her 'initiative' has brought such results, her already strong temper suddenly comes to the fore!
"Zhang Lang! Wait a moment!"

"Miss Yan'er, I really have no money."

"For the sake of my fate with you, forty taels!"

"No."

"Forget it, I'll talk to mom and count you twenty taels!"

"still none."

"This...then we have twelve taels, right? We can't go any lower! It will lose my worth!"

"To be honest, I don't have a penny on my body. How can I let a beautiful woman live with my poverty? So let's say goodbye and see you again when we have the chance."

"you……"

Zhang Chonghui seemed to be in a hurry to do something. After saying goodbye to Yan'er in a hurry, he also said goodbye to Shen Yiguan who was standing next to him like a background board, and then left quickly.

The little girl Yan'er was so angry that she stamped her feet, snorted twice and turned away, ready to go find her little sisters and scold this incomprehensible young man!

Everyone was gone, and now only a lonely old man like Shen Yiguan was left in the same place in the wind.

However, Shen Yiguan did not remain confused for long. He raised his injured right palm and pressed the blood book on his chest. While the wound ached faintly, the 'heat' in his heart was also burning!

"Master, why are you here alone? Do you want a slave to serve you?"

"Master, let me serve you. It was obviously the slave who saw you first!"

When the two women, who were not very beautiful but well-groomed, saw an "alone old man" here, they rushed up to grab customers.

After all, in the land of fireworks, "alone" men are "money", not to mention Shen Yiguang's clothes. At first glance, he is not an ordinary old man.

An experienced person can tell at a glance that this old man is a wealthy official.

Facing the "fight" between the two "ladies", Shen Yiguan changed his previous "sympathy" towards Yan'er and turned into a look of disgust, saying:

"Who do you think I am! Go away quickly!"

After finishing his stern reprimand, Shen Yiguan tossed his sleeves and strode away with square steps. This "upright and awe-inspiring" 'gentleman' look was completely different from the 'Shen Lang' not long ago.

"Tch, why are you pretending to be serious!"

"Another stinky man who comes to a brothel to find his soulmate. It's a good thing we were fighting over him just now, bah!"

"That's all, there's a lone guy over there, let's make a deal first, I'll see him first this time, don't try to rob me again!"

"So what if you saw it first? Everyone depends on their abilities!"

The two brothel women who were scolded by Shen Yiguan were obviously not surprised by being "disliked". After all, there were many "clients" like Shen Yiguan who "watched others' orders".

In front of a young and talented "famous courtesan" like Yan'er, these dignitaries behaved like "confidants" and "talents".

But in front of ordinary prostitutes, these people seemed to have just remembered the principles of the sages and sages they had read. Not only did they suddenly become "elegant", they even even used the "big principles" in Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. ', standing on the moral high ground, pointing fingers at these 'low-level prostitutes'.

There is really a "class distinction", even "prostitution" has to be divided into "high and low"!

……

Shen Guanyi left, and his destination was clear - the Forbidden City!

Shen Yiguan was eager to submit the 'blood letter' to His Majesty the Emperor, because he really wanted to 'join the ministry'!

Although he felt that the blood letter was written "from left to right" horizontally, which was a bit inappropriate and against the rules, Shen Guanyi didn't feel inappropriate after listening to the "explanation" given to him by Zhang Chonghui.

Shen Guangyuan believes that what Zhang Chonghui said is indeed true. A blood letter like this, which is full of 'true feelings', really needs to be more 'abstract' in order to be more eye-catching!

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely pay more attention to it!
Well, this is definitely not Zhang Chonghui's 'mistake'!
……

Shen Guanyi really left, but Zhang Chonghui faked his departure.

Zhang Chonghui did not leave the brothel, but 'followed' the 'familiar' figure and made a circuit of the brothel.

It's on this road...

"Hey, are you alone? Do you want my sister to accompany you?"

"no need."

"I saw you wandering around for a long time. It must be your first time coming back to the brothel. You don't know the way, right?"

"I have no money."

"It's okay if you don't have money. Come, sister will take you to have fun and don't charge you money, hehe~"

"..."

"Hey, why are you running away? Come here and let my sister eat your mouth~~"

"..."

Bypassing 'many obstacles', Zhang Chonghui chased him all the way to the door of a wing!
"Oh!"

Just another hard kick!
There were exclamations in the wing room immediately!
Several!
