Ping An Biography

Chapter 55 The Song in the Rain

The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the mood of spring is fading.The fine weather in the past two days made people feel that summer was getting closer, and there was a continuous drizzle, and the temperature changed again. After holding the paper outside his sleeve for a long time, he felt that his fingertips were still a little cold.

Zhang Ning carefully read the dossiers and reports made by secret agents several times. The plan has been perfected, and it is all in his head. He didn't write it down, and he didn't want to explain it so soon...Why?Because there is still a difficult condition missing, and the time is not ripe.

After weighing it over and over again, he didn't dare to say that the plan was foolproof considering many accidental factors, but he thought that the possibility of success was relatively high.It’s just that this matter is somewhat complicated. If it’s just a matter of trying to catch Peng Tianheng, then the purpose is clear. The problem is that his purpose is not to arrest people for meritorious service, but to get back the handle. It is really a headache to design.

What is missing now is a few specific people, at least one or two.Where can I find someone who has both skill and adaptability, and who can completely entrust secret affairs?At some point, talent's loyalty is more important than ability, and Zhang Ning is short of such people; there is no shortage of capable people, and Hu Ying has already paved the way, but Zhang Ning cannot use those people.

What was the most expensive thing in the Ming Dynasty?Talent, you can't find usable people with high salaries.have no choice.

If this is missing, Zhang Ning would rather wait to see the situation, or simply keep the status quo for the time being.Otherwise, if the plan I came up with really worked out and Peng Tianheng was caught, the culprits could only be controlled by Xie Jun and his gang. Zhang Ning was always a literati, and he couldn't do some things by himself. It was very difficult to kill people and silence them ;When Peng Tianheng falls, it will be strange if Zhang Ning is not dragged into the water!Thinking about Zhou Na, I planted myself and even helped the people in Taohua Villa.

But as long as Zhang Ning has five points of confidence, he will take the risk and end it: it's uncomfortable to be worried; if one day he is transferred from this position, the chance of ending it is gone, so how can he go to find Peng Tianheng?The possibility of the latter is very high. Who told Zhang Ning to be in Beijing?

He glanced out the window, then asked the boy Han Wu to get an umbrella, and was about to go out for a walk to catch his breath.Originally the valet was a girl, but Zhang Ning lived in the yard arranged by Xie Jun, and the people inside were arranged by Xie Jun. It seemed that it was not good to ask a girl to make up the quilt, so I asked someone to find a servant to do some Chores.That boy was Han Wu, who was in his teens and had a pretty face. In the words of later generations, he was a hypocrite. I don't know what those who arrange people are thinking. They think that everyone from Beijing is good?

Han Wu took two umbrellas and wanted to go out with him, but Zhang Ning said, "I want to relax by myself, so I don't need to follow." After that, he took both umbrellas, as if he was afraid that this fellow would follow... To be honest, because Zhang Ning was against that kind of stuff, he didn't have a good sense of Han Wu, which annoyed him a bit.I used to joke that there is no pressure to be a good friend or something, but facing a man who wants to have skin-to-skin kisses with you, it is indescribably nauseating.

It wasn't raining heavily, and if you didn't open an umbrella, you would get wet slowly. Zhang Ning opened the dark oil-paper umbrella and walked down the street.

It was drizzling, and when he was thinking wildly by himself, he thought of Hu Butang again. The old cousin Yan beside Hu Butang seemed to be a hero, how did he subdue old cousin Yan?In this official position, I have to learn from Hu Butang, who is an old man with rich experience.

If I have such a number one person, I don't have to worry about it.Well, it's best to meet a hero who is in danger, and then rescue him himself, and he will bow down and call me big brother to accept me as a younger brother...

It's a pity that the law and order in Yangzhou City is surprisingly good, there are government shops in every street and alley, and fights are very rare.The street was peaceful and nothing happened. In fact, it was raining and there were fewer pedestrians than usual. It looked not only peaceful but also peaceful.Besides, where is there such a coincidence, Zhang Ning shook his head mockingly.

The city is indeed very monotonous, even the courts are mostly officials, and some illegal gray industries are almost never in the city, but it does not mean that the law and order of the Ming Dynasty were really so pure, the outer city next to the city There are all kinds of people in the city, and they usually don't go to the inner city, but the inner city is more strictly controlled. Why do you bother asking for trouble?

So Zhang Ning left the city through the south gate without purpose.The northern city is next to Baoyang Lake, a rich man's villa area. The scenery is good but somewhat monotonous; while the southern city is full of fish and dragons, which is exactly where Zhang Ning wants to wander around to find inspiration.

It’s okay to go out of the city gate, the streets and alleys have been governed by the government officials and they look relatively neat and tidy, but if you walk a little further south, you will be full of mess.The clean road has turned into mud, the houses are uneven, tea stalls, food stalls, vegetable sellers, and beggars are mixed together along the street. It is really the status quo of ordinary people... Going to Baoyang Lake in Yangzhou to take a walk in the wind, flowers, snow and moon to see the scenery is considered a tour, so you must think that the world is rich.

But Yangzhou claims to have a population of one million, and it is impossible for most of them to live in the inner city and Baoyang Lake villas.

So Zhang Ning sighed secretly, if the regained life was a random reincarnation, he had to admit that he was quite lucky, and was thrown into a small number of environments with relatively good conditions in this era.If you were born in a family in the chaotic alleys of the outer city, it is likely that you were originally illiterate, let alone have no fame or connections and family property. Maybe you can't even eat enough. A malnourished body, and then there are several sick and disabled people in the family who need help. Support and care, how to set up a coffin cemetery when someone is about to die... Daming has the order of Ming Dynasty, how can there be a way out under such conditions?If it were so easy to start from scratch, Zhang Ning would have accomplished something in modern times without going to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Ning was holding an umbrella while thinking wildly, while walking around. Anyway, the tower is tall and it is easy to see its direction, and it will be easy to return to the city when the time comes.

When I was in the city before, I thought of a brothel, but when I came out and walked casually, I found a lot of women leaning against the door in a street. They didn’t do anything at the door, and they kept looking at the pedestrians, most of them were doing that. .But at this time, it is called differently, called private | prostitution, kiln.

I saw that most of those women were over 40 or [-] years old, with dark and rough skin, dull and numb expressions, and the hope of life could not be seen in their eyes.And the dress is very poor, messy, some of the worst even rags, in short, very miserable.Their market should be because they are cheap. After all, the consumption that starts at a tael of silver is not something ordinary people can afford.

Just seeing so many old women, he suddenly heard a young woman's singing, which sounded clear and sweet, and he was suddenly curious, why bother to laugh and sing here if he has the conditions and is willing to show his face?
