A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The weather was very cold, so Zhang Wulang sat in the house, wrapped in his coat and warming himself by the fire.

Nowadays, the poisonous smoke from charcoal fires has become common knowledge. Everyone knows that when grilling charcoal fires, the door should be opened a little, and the doors and windows should be opened every once in a while to ventilate, so as not to be poisoned in the house.

He looked at the door blankly, not knowing what to do.

He was a secret spy. After he performed meritorious service in Zhongjing City, he was transferred back to Bianliang. He was then promoted and became a small boss.

I don’t know how many people would be envious of such a day, and then go on honestly.

But that day when he heard someone saying bad things about Shen An, he somehow rushed in and took action.

Do you regret it?

Zhang Wulang shook his head. A true man does not need to regret his actions.

But what to do next?

After recovering from his injuries, it would not be easy for him to return to the Imperial City Division.

Everyone would avoid a little boss who was beaten half to death by Hu Shenian.

This officialdom habit of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages still exists in the Imperial City Department.

So what should he do?

He is still young and does not want to become an old man who laughs when he sees people and bends down when he sees superiors.

On days like that, he felt that life was worse than death.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and his wife, Mrs. Hong, rubbed her red hands and said, "It doesn't look like it will be sunny today. Sir, I'll go back home and see my parents."

Zhang Wulang nodded, but there was a sad look in his eyes.

He was recuperating at home and had to spend a lot of money every day. The family's savings were all used up, and he had to rely on his wife to go back to her parents' home to get money and food to supplement the expenses. This made him very painful.

Hong rearranged the charcoal fire to ensure that it would not go out before returning, and carefully left a crack in the door when she went out.

"My lord, I'm gone."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Zhang Wulang clenched his fists and punched himself in the chest.

"Cough cough cough..."

He lowered his voice and coughed, but the pain in his chest could not overcome the guilt and pain of having wronged his wife.

A man should support his family, and it would be a shame for his wife to go back to her parents' home to seek help.

"who?"

My wife's voice came from outside, a little timidly.

After learning that her official had offended Shangguan, Mrs. Hong was worried all day long. She was worried that one day people from the Imperial City Division would rush in and take her official away coldly.

Zhang Wulang smiled bitterly.

"Is this Zhang Wulang's home?"

A strange voice came.

There was a cold look in Zhang Wulang's eyes. He struggled to stand up and limped out.

"You are...Judge Tang, why are you hiding behind him?"

"I'm going to Shen'an."

"ah……"

Hong screamed with disbelief.

In an instant, Zhang Wulang held the door and cried.

My wife must have cried with joy.

They are always worried, fearing that disaster will strike one day.

They also knew the news of the northwest army's triumphant victory today, but the army was a big army, so what did it have to do with him?

Then the officials held a banquet in the palace for the meritorious men of the Northwest War, which was very lively.

The generals should be on their way home, but Shen An is here.

"My lord, please come in quickly."

Hong's voice was cheerful, and all worries and emotions had disappeared.

"The yard is well taken care of."

"I did it casually."

"Well, when Zhang Wulang marries you, he marries a good wife, like an IKEA room!"

Shen An is only a few years older than Zhang Wulang, but at this moment, he calmly speaks words that only such elders can say, which makes people feel natural.

Hong's whole body relaxed after hearing his casual words.

The door opened, and the light from outside shone in, filling the entire room.

Shen An stood outside the door and looked at Zhang Wulang with a smile, "But Zhang Wulang?"

Zhang Wulang's body trembled slightly and he tried his best to maintain his balance. He cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Duke."

"You're very polite, sit down."

Hong went over and helped Zhang Wulang back.

Shen An looked at the situation in the house, and Hong went to bring a stool over again and said to get some tea.

"It should be stronger. If you drink too much in the palace, strong tea can help you sober up. The children won't dislike it when you get home later."

Shen An sat down with a golden sword, and as soon as Hong left, he asked casually: "What was Hu Xinian's motive for attacking you?"

Zhang Wulang said respectfully: "There should be some acquaintances of his among those people."

"Relationships? Favoritism?"

Shen An was very domineering and forgot about Zhang Wulang taking people for him. That was also partiality!

"Jun Gong." Zhang Wulang said gratefully: "There are eight people in charge of affairs in the Imperial City Division. Even if Zhang Douzhi is removed, there are still seven. Thank you very much."

If the seven activity managers join forces, Zhang will not be able to move for eight years.

Zhang Wulang was very grateful to Shen An for coming here, as Hu Shenian would definitely throw a trap and let him go in the future.

That's fine.

But he didn't understand Shen An.

"You are taking someone for someone." Shen An looked at him and said calmly: "In that case, we are friends, and friends have been wronged... Go and ask, whether it is the uncle of the country or someone else, if Shen's friend is bullied , Has Shen ever stood up?"

"Jun Gong." Zhang Wulang didn't expect Shen An to really take action, "You... those people join forces, even Zhang Douzhi can't do anything!"

Zhang's position in the Imperial City Division was deeply rooted in the eighth year, but he was still helpless in this Zhang Wulang incident.

"Zhang Baibian is an idiot!"

Shen An said calmly: "Many times people should not worry too much. The more they worry, the more unscrupulous their opponents will be and they just take action."

"Are you Shen An the only smart person in the world?"

Following this voice, Zhang Baba came in from outside.

"Zhang Dou knows that he has ears to repay God!" Shen An sat still and said sarcastically: "Shen is about to arrive here, and you will follow immediately."

Zhang Wulang hurriedly remembered, Zhang Baba said in a deep voice: "Sit in your seat."

Holding the tea, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but be stunned as she watched Zhang Ba Ba and Shen An standing and sitting, tense and tense.

"Drink tea!"

Shen An pointed at her. Hong came in. Zhang Baibian stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "There are many people in charge of affairs in the Imperial City Division, who are trying to keep each other in check. Do you know what this means?"

"Isn't it just a place where secret spies are raised?" Shen An said casually: "Official officials in the past have been afraid of this and that, worried that too few people would monopolize power, but is it interesting to manage seven, eight, or ten activities? Get rid of it Besides wasting money and food, what’s the use?”

But this method is better than Ming Dynasty. In the Jinyiwei and East Factory and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, one person often had overwhelming power.

In comparison, the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty seemed particularly silent.

Zhang Baba sneered: "Without checks and balances, if someone controls the Imperial City Division, he will die sooner or later without a burial place."

This man is smart, he knows that dictatorship will turn him into a hunting dog.

Think about the Ming Dynasty's imperial guards commanders, especially those at the front. It is rare that they can die a good death.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Baibian refused the stool Hong offered and just stood there.

Shen An said very calmly, "Just telling the truth. You know, Shen likes to tell the truth the most."

"It doesn't make sense?" Zhang Baba seemed to really believe it.

"It doesn't make sense?" Shen An smiled, "Let's talk about it then."

"good."

Zhang Baibian handed over his hand, and then said to Zhang Wulang: "Recover as soon as possible and go back. Don't waste money and food every month."

"yes."

After Zhang Baibian left, Zhang Wulang gritted his teeth and insisted on kneeling down, "Thank you, Duke."

"What are you doing?" Shen An pointed at him, and Tang Ren went over to help him up.

Zhang Wulang said with tears in his eyes: "The villain's money and food have been cut off. If the county prince hadn't come here, the whole family would probably have to rely on my wife to go back to her parents' house to beg for money..."

Why!

Shen An drank the tea in one gulp, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "If Zhang doesn't agree in eight years, it will be fine. Since he has agreed, there will be no obstacles for you to return to the Imperial City Division. Don't worry."

He was about to go home. Hong sent him and Tang Ren outside the door. Before leaving, Shen An said casually: "If anyone comes here for help in the past few days, remember to close the door."

Hong was stunned and didn't know what he meant by this, so she agreed vaguely.

After Zhang returned to the Imperial City Division in the eighth year, Hu Xie came.

"I heard that Zhang Douzhi went to Zhang Wulang's house?"

This person has eyes and ears.

Zhang Baibian was slightly angry and said calmly: "Is something wrong?"

Hu Xinian laughed dryly and said: "Nothing is wrong, it's just that Zhang Wulang is cunning, Zhang Dou doesn't know if he will be deceived by him."

Zhang Baibian looked at him and said, "Do I still need you to teach me how to do something?"

What would happen if he knew that Shen An also went to Zhang Wulang's house?

Zhang Baibian is very interested in this.

Hu Shenian judged that the problem was not big and walked away with a smile.

As soon as he returned to his room, he heard that Zhang Baibian had begun to clean up the people around him.

Hu Xinian did not dare to send people to follow Zhang for eight years. It was a taboo, and Zhao Shu knew about it and could dispatch him.

So Zhang Ba Ba knew that someone around him had become a traitor.

"That man asked for five hundred gu at a time. It was just a piece of news. He was too greedy. He deserves to die!"

Later, someone at Zhang Bian's place made a mistake and was beaten for a while. It was said that he was on the verge of death.

"Does Zhang Wulang think Zhang Baibian can support him?" Hu Shenian sneered: "With many of our event managers joining forces, what can Zhang Baibian do? It's useless!"

He was in a happy mood and felt that the gloomy sky was exceptionally bright.

I saw how charming the green hills were, and I expected that the green hills should be so when they saw me. This is a kind of mentality. When your mentality is sunny, the world outside will naturally be bright. Your mentality is gloomy, and the sunshine in front of you is dark.

When your heart moves, the world changes.

After leaving the Yamen, he went to a brothel he was familiar with, found his old sweetheart and had a pleasant time there, and then felt soft all over and was ready to go home.

The bustling scene in Bianliang at night is unbelievable.

The long street is full of people, various businesses are going on, merchants and customers are talking loudly, and even the quarrels have a hint of happiness.

This is Bianliang.

The capital of the Song Dynasty.

And a certain person is one of the people in charge of this prosperous world.

The Imperial City Department of Activities, one of the leaders of secret spies!

Standing outside the brothel gate, the madam spoke endless flattering words behind her and did not dare to accept any money.

The Imperial City Division has one responsibility, which is to monitor Bianliang.

As long as he wanted to, Hu Shenian could make this brothel close down and the madam be exiled at any time.

As for the reasons, there are too many, such as colluding with merchants from foreign vassals, or buying and selling women, etc. If you just find one, it will make the old madam unable to eat.

It’s free to go to restaurants to eat, and there’s no charge to go to brothels to sleep with women…

Ten lifetimes are not enough to live such days!

Hu Xinian squinted at the bright lights outside and smiled happily.

"Mr. Lang!"

A follower came over in a hurry.

"New news just arrived, a carriage from Shen An's family went to Zhang Wulang's house."

Hu Shenian hummed, his eyes cold.

"Why?"

"Say Zhang Wulang is a good man and speak for him Shen. Now Zhang Wulang is being bullied and his family has no overnight food. He can't stand it. The Shen family is not short of money, so they will send some to him."

Hu Shenian's breath tightened, "What does he want to do?"

The follower looked up with a panicked look on his face, "He said... he wants to talk to you about the truth."

"... Just come tomorrow, Lanxiang will be waiting for you... Hey, nonsense, nonsense..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Hu Shenian glanced left and right on the street, turned around and ran away without hesitation, and rushed into the brothel.

"Bullshit!"

"Ouch! Who is it!"

"Someone broke in."

There was chaos inside, UU Reading www.uukｋnshu.net Immediately, news came that Hu Shenian ran away from the back door.

"It seemed like there was a ghost chasing him just now. He was scared out of his mind."

A waiter vividly told the madam about Hu Shenian's embarrassment just now.

"That's right!" The old bustard suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said cheerfully: "You deserve that! Hu Shenian has been domineering for many years, and once he was frightened by others, he was so happy!"

"Ask who did it."

Later, news came that the Shen family sent money and food to a spy's home with great fanfare. Hu Shenian fled after hearing the news.

"What a great Duke Shen!"

…
