In the post station, those sergeants disguised as merchants took over the entire post station, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.Jia Xiu, dressed as a businessman, was drinking tea leisurely, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.

Jia Xiu said slowly, "Who is making noise outside?" The congren replied, "My lord, it's someone from the Grotto, who said he came to the station to look for someone!"

Jia Xiu said, "Let him in!", and left in response.After a while, a man with a dusty face and a shabby official uniform appeared in the station.

He looked at all the people in the post station, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you? How could there be a seal letter from General Anyuan, Master Jia?"

Jia Xiu turned around and said cheerfully, "Master Zhang, are you safe? Do you remember Jia Xiu?"

The man's name was Zhang Hang, a minor official of the sixth rank, responsible for the financial supervision of the modification of the Yungang Grottoes.Zhang Hang is smart and sensitive, but his official position is too small, and he is usually idle and has no family property, so he lives in poverty.His wife often complained about Zhang Hang, which made Zhang Hang extremely distressed.

When he proposed to ask Yihun to recommend Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu to supervise the construction of Yungang Grottoes, Jia Xiu thought of a plan to kill these three people.

He selected Zhang Hang from the list of idle positions in the Ministry of Officials.Jia Xiu came to Zhang Hang's home with a sum of money, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw that Zhang Hang's family was completely empty.

Zhang Hang was overjoyed to see General Anyuan suddenly visiting his home in person.He knew in his heart that he had been unable to be an official and had to be idle. In fact, no one in the court recommended him. Now that General An Yuan is here, how can Zhang Hang not like it?He knew that General Anyuan was a close confidant of Yi Hun, a member of the court, if General Anyuan said a word, he would be able to rise to the top.

Zhang Hang kept flattering Jia Xiu with flattering words, Jia Xiu said for a while, "Master Zhang, according to your wealth, you should be in a high position of the third rank, how can you stay at home? This general wants to protect Mr. Zhang's future, but he just doesn't know. Master Zhang is a person who understands?"

Zhang Hang was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank Mr. Jia, saying repeatedly: "If you have a humble job, you should not forget Mr. Jia's kindness. From now on, Mr. Jia is the only one who will follow your lead. But if Mr. Jia has any orders, you should take care of yourself. Go through fire and water, and do whatever you want! Even if Mr. Jia wants to die for the humble official, the humble official is willing to die for Mr. Jia!"

Jia Xiudao: "That's very good! Master Zhang, does he know about the Yungang Grottoes? This general wants to secure a first-level or sixth-rank official position for Master Zhang in front of the Taiwei and Taiyuan Wang Yihun, and take charge of the money for the construction of the Yungang Grottoes."

Zhang Hang was pleasantly surprised as if he was in a dream.He knew that the Yungang Grottoes were built by the queen mother and the emperor, and almost concentrated all the power of the Wei Dynasty. If they can manage the money, it will be a rich source of wealth.

Zhang Hang couldn't help but thank you, Jia Xiu said: "Master Zhang, after taking office, you must not take money, otherwise the general will check it out and report it to the Queen Mother and take your life!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hang broke out in a cold sweat, most of the previous joy was gone.Jia Xiu looked at Zhang Hang's expression, knew that he was shocked by her, paused, smiled and said: "Master Zhang, your family is poor, and you are an official but can't subsidize the family, that is too difficult for Master Zhang."

"I have brought ten bolts of silk and ten taels of gold to Mr. Zhang. Although this amount of money is meager, it is enough to support Mr. Zhang's household for three months!"

Zhang Hang rejoiced, and said with tears: "Master Jia is really Zhang Hang's reborn parents! This gift from Mr. Jia, not to mention three months, is enough for Zhang Hang to enjoy for a lifetime!"

Jia Xiu laughed and said, "Why is Master Zhang so short-sighted? Although the money and goods are enough for Master Zhang to buy food and oil, they can't enjoy the blessings! If Master Zhang swore to take office, within three months, I will be honest and honest. After three months, Mr. Zhang was secured as a third-rank official in front of the Taiwei, and he gave a thousand gold as a gift to buy a hundred acres of land!"

Zhang Hang was overjoyed and bowed down at his command.Jia Xiu left money and belongings and walked away.After Zhang Hang took office, he kept Jia Xiu's words in mind, worked hard, and never dared to neglect.Because he is in charge of money and things, he is still able to be honest and honest, and eats simple meals with craftsmen. The money and food needed for the supervision of the grottoes passed through the hands of Zhang Hang, and the three of them stopped asking.

Jia Xiu's intention to strictly order Zhang Hang to be clean within three months is precisely the reason why Zhang Hang wants to win the trust of the three people, so that after three months, it will be convenient for them to succeed.

Seeing the person holding General Anyuan's seal summoned him, Zhang Hang knew he had something to do, so after making arrangements, he came to the post station while no one was looking around.When he saw that it was General Anyuan Jia Xiu himself who came, he was both surprised and delighted when he calculated that this official event would take three months.

What surprised Zhang Hang was that Jia Xiu, as a high official in the imperial court, did not wear official uniforms or guards of honor, but secretly pretended to be a businessman.And the people under his command, although they are dressed as members of the caravan, are all tall and strong, and they are not ordinary people.Zhang Hangside, Jia Xiu's coming here must have been secretly working for him in response to an appointment made three months ago.And looking at the situation in front of him, this matter must be very important and shameful.

What made Zhang Hang happy was that Jia Xiu came to show that he hadn't forgotten the appointment in March.Then, his three months of suffering will come to an end, Zhang Hang can't help but feel elated when he thinks of Jia Xiu's promise, the sixth-rank official position, a hundred acres of land, and a thousand taels of gold.

Seeing Jia Xiu, Zhang Hang hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the ground.Jia Xiu laughed and said, "Master Zhang, as a sixth-rank official in the imperial court, why do you worship me as a businessman? Get up and talk, step aside for now!"

All the soldiers dressed as businessmen said in unison: "No!", quickly exited the guest room, stood outside the post station, and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing that everyone retreated, Jia Xiu said: "Master Zhang, are you safe and sound? When Jia came here for the first time, he heard the people at the inn praise Mr. Zhang's incorruptible name. This general is also relieved. Mr. Zhang is a man who never breaks his promise. !"

Zhang Hang apologized and said with a smile: "Master Jia has the grace of rebuilding the humble position. How dare the humble position forget Mr. Jia's words? Mr. Jia must have come here today to meet the appointment made three months ago. But if there is something important, just ask, the humble position will try its best to do it report!"

Jia Dao smiled and said, "That's very good! It seems that the general is right. Mr. Zhang is indeed a person who knows how to repay his kindness!"

Without waiting for Zhang Hang to answer, Jia Xiu said again: "Master Zhang is in charge of money and is so clean, he must have won the trust of Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu, right?"

Zhang Hang was shocked and had to admire Jia Xiu.He bowed and replied: "Master Jia is a lesson! Since taking office, I have kept Master Jia's words in mind. I dare not be greedy for a dime of money. I live with craftsmen and eat simple food. Therefore, Shang Shu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu's three directors trust Wei Chen quite a lot, and they leave everything to Wei Chen to decide about Qian Liang's past, and they don't ask questions!"
