Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 450: Zhang Qianhu's Heroic Appearance (asking for monthly ticket)

Qin Yun led the way and took the two Zhang brothers to the Jinyiwei Beizhenfusi Yamen.

"Brother, Commander Zhu asked you to go alone to discuss something, why did you ask me to come along? I'm very busy." Zhang Yanling seemed very reluctant.

Zhang Heling said, "You and my father asked me to be the captain of the Jinyiwei, so you have to be responsible for me... If I don't do my job well, it will be a disgrace to our Zhang family. I have never been a police officer before, so it's a good opportunity for you to give me some advice."

As he spoke, Zhang Heling seemed very excited.

For the first time in my life, I enjoyed the taste of power, and it was also the first time that I was valued so much. I felt like I had reached the top.

Zhang Yanling was thinking, you two father and son are indeed very similar in temperament, even the greedy gleam in your eyes when you first became officials is exactly the same.

……

……

Beizhen Fusi.

Zhu Ji personally received the Zhang brothers.

He was not surprised by Zhang Yanling's arrival. Instead, he politely invited the Zhang brothers to a side hall and arranged seats for them.

Qin Yun was also allowed to sit in on the trial.

It seems that Zhu Ji has long known that if he wants to maintain a good relationship with the Zhang family, he has to rely on Qin Yun to act as a go-between.

"Commander Zhu, you called me here because you have something to discuss? Go ahead." Zhang Heling had no idea what politeness was and was waiting for Zhu Ji to assign him an assignment with an expectant look on his face.

Zhu Ji said, "It's like this. I know that you, Zhang Guojiu, have been appointed as a captain of the Jinyiwei by the imperial court, but you have not come to take up your duties, so I specially asked Captain Qin to come to my house to invite you... There is a major case involving the imperial order that is pending, and I would like to hear your opinion."

Zhang Heling waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it. If I can give you advice, I will tell you. If I really can't, my second brother will tell you."

"hehe."

Zhu Ji never expected that the great uncle of the Zhang family would be such an approachable and rough man.

Looking at Zhang Yanling who was calm and composed beside him, Zhu Ji said solemnly: "It is like this, the case concerning Li Hua, the director of the Imperial Observatory, needs to be handled by the emperor's uncle."

"Who is Li Hua?"

Zhang Heling glanced at his brother.

Zhang Yanling tugged at the corner of his clothes, as if to say, could you please stop embarrassing yourself?

Even if you don't know, you have to pretend to be deep and not let others see your true or false.

Zhu Ji said bluntly: "Li Hua was involved in the Deng Chang'en case and the previous case of selecting a site for the late emperor's mausoleum, Maoling. He has now been imprisoned and tortured."

"Can you take me to see it?"

When Zhang Heling heard about the torture of the prisoner, he immediately became interested.

In his opinion, beating people in the cell was very interesting and could easily arouse the violent side of his heart. It seemed to be the thing he looked forward to most after putting on this official uniform.

Zhu Ji asked in embarrassment: "My Lord, do you really want to go and take a look in person? That place is too filthy, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to enter casually."

Qin Yun also hurriedly advised: "Young Master, the prison is too bloody and people often die in it. It is gloomy and scary. It is better not to go in casually. If there is anything, just let the people below handle it."

In Qin Yun's opinion.

No matter how reckless you, Zhang Heling, are, you are still just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. You shout loudly now, but when you really go to the imperial prison which is like the Avici Hell, you may be scared and have some problems. Then you will not be able to explain to your father, your brother-in-law who is the emperor, and your sister who is the empress.

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Then...I wonder how my elder brother can be of service?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ji couldn't help but look over again.

I thought that this young prince-in-law was really sensible and hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

After all, Zhang Yanling understands the rules of officialdom.

Zhu Ji invited Zhang Heling to come, in fact, just to "pay respects", definitely not to deliberately give Zhang Heling something to do...

Zhu Ji said, "Right now, we have an assignment to search Li Hua's house, and I would like to ask Captain Zhang to take care of it. You don't have to rush. If you have any questions, you can ask Captain Qin first, and he will give you some advice."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Heling looked at his brother.

Zhang Yanling leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Aren't you looking for a job? Someone has assigned you a job... It's to confiscate other people's houses. This is a great job."

"well."

When Zhang Heling heard that it was a good job, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Zhu Ji said, "In that case, Captain Qin should just give Captain Zhang some pointers, and once everything is arranged, he can bring all the people to investigate the case."

Tan Yun quickly bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

……

……

After all, Zhu Ji was a very busy man and it was impossible for him to give Zhang Heling personal guidance.

After explaining the matter, he left.

Qin Yun personally came out of the room to see him off.

There are many tricks in the Jinyiwei, and Zhu Ji, the commander, cannot be relied upon to instruct his subordinates personally. Someone must be sent to guide them. It just so happens that the Zhang brothers are familiar with Qin Yun, so they let Qin Yun complete the task of being the guide.

Soon, only the Zhang brothers were left in the side hall.

Zhang Heling asked, "Second Brother, what does Commander Zhu mean?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Don't you understand? This Li Hua once impeached our father and is at odds with our Zhang family. Commander Zhu knows how to behave. He assigned you a job to search the houses of your political enemies right after you took office. He lets you experience the thrill of being an official and get some benefits at the same time... He also shows our father that he is of the same mind as us."

“Is it that complicated?”

Zhang Heling seemed to understand, but not quite, and asked with a frown.

"Do you think he's really looking for work for you?"

Zhang Yanling raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Do you think our brother-in-law assigned you the job of Jinyiwei Qianhu just to let you work?"

Zhang Heling was a complete novice in the officialdom. After hearing what his brother said, his mind was in a mess. He widened his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "But... I still don't quite understand..." "Oh, brother, why are you so stupid?"

Zhang Yanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "In the final analysis, Commander Zhu is giving you a favor... asking you to capture people and get money, will you go?"

"Of course."

Zhang Heling suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where should we send the captured people? Should we bring them back to our home?"

"Why are you bringing him to our house? Are you going to keep him?"

Zhang Yanling frowned.

Zhang Heling looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't they say that many of the families of the convicted officials would be made slaves, and some would even be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau? I heard this from others...

"Whoever is responsible for the confiscation should be the one to take the items home? And then sell them later?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Brother, things are not as simple as you think. You need to learn more. Recently, you can just go around with Qin Yun to see the world. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him."

Zhang Heling said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you have to ask Qin Yun? It would be better if I asked you... If you explain it, I can barely understand it. If others say... I am afraid I can't understand it."

"It's okay. Qin Yun is a warm-hearted person. He will definitely explain it to you clearly."

At this point, Zhang Yanling's face also showed some anticipation, and he said: "It just so happens that I also want to go out with you to show off and arrest people in Li Hua's mansion... If our father knew about it, he would definitely want to go there in person."

"What?"

Zhang Heling asked blankly.

"Didn't I just tell you that this Li Hua has a grudge against our father and is a hostile force in the court... Now that Li Hua has fallen with Ni Yue, our Zhang family has firmly gained the upper hand and has the opportunity to suppress political enemies. We must be feeling very relieved." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.

"What a pity... I don't know who they are, otherwise I would definitely feel the same way as you..."

Zhang Heling slapped his forehead, looking very annoyed.

What political enemies or no political enemies? What does it have to do with me?

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "So you are not suitable to be an official. It is actually quite good to be a domineering Jinyiwei captain... If you don't cause any trouble, others will think that our Zhang family has some ambitions and conspiracies. You will be our agent to maintain the bad image of our relatives by marriage in the future."

Zhang Heling blinked his eyes and said in a half-understanding tone: "Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?"

"Haha."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Isn't it good to let you do whatever you want? I guess the people who will care about you the most in our family in the future will be your sister and brother-in-law. Dad, mom and I won't care how much trouble you get into outside. Anyway, you can do whatever the Wan family did before, and I will definitely let you have unlimited glory in the Hongzhi Dynasty!"

……

……

Qin Yun then assigned some men and took the two Zhang brothers to search Li Hua's mansion.

"My two lords, Li Hua's family is quite wealthy. He used to be very prestigious in the court. His family fortune has been accumulated for generations, but now it can be said that it has been wiped out in one day."

Qin Yun said with emotion.

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "I understand. It's just like when you bet everything at the gambling table and then lose everything. I've heard many stories like this."

Qin Yun agreed: "The eldest master is right, he just lost the bet."

"Are you really betting?"

Zhang Heling asked in confusion, "What did he bet on? How could he lose so much in one go?"

Qin Yun thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yanling, and said, "What he was betting on was his stance... He chose to side with Ni Yue and go against your father, and the result... is that he has ended up like this today."

Zhang Heling frowned when he heard this and asked, "Second Brother, do you think my analysis is correct? It is our father who ruined the Li Hua family, is that what you mean?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "You can't say that. Father is just doing his job impartially."

"wrong."

Zhang Heling shook his head and said, "Dad doesn't have the ability to destroy someone's family. It must be you who gave the advice behind the scenes and put them in this situation... In the final analysis, you are the culprit!"

"Brother, I think you are slandering good people!"

Zhang Yanling quickly defended himself.

"Tsk! Do you really think I'm stupid? I know everything clearly." Zhang Heling looked very proud, as if he had figured out the truth of the matter.

Qin Yun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He thought, no one knows a brother better than his own brother. It seems that the eldest uncle of the Zhang family is not too stupid. At least he knows that his younger brother is a ruthless person. He can use the influence of the Zhang family in the court to bring down those political enemies one by one.

Qin Yun said, "You two, when we get there, please try to speak as little as possible. Sometimes silence is the best deterrent... Since Governor Zhu has appointed the eldest son as the main organizer of this matter, I will give you some pointers. In the end, the final decision will be made by you, the eldest son."

"Oh."

Zhang Heling said, "Captain Qin, aren't you also a captain? You are on the same level as me... From now on, you don't need to address me as a master or a child. Just call me Da Zhang and call my younger brother Xiao Zhang. I will still call you Captain Qin, so let's not be so formal."

When Qin Yun heard this, he felt that the head of the Zhang family was not a simple person.

There are actually a lot of methods to win people's hearts.

"You are too polite, young master. I... am of low status and my words do not count. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future." Qin Yun was also very happy.

Even the dumbest boss of the Zhang family regards me as one of their own. This further proves that I am highly valued by the Zhang family. Wouldn't I be able to thrive in the Jinyiwei in the future?

The group quickly arrived at Li Hua's residence in Beijing.

It is near Chongwenmen.

The surrounding is very prosperous.

A large group of Jinyiwei surrounded the gate of the mansion, displaying swords and various weapons. Zhang Heling stood in front, feeling a sense of pride.

"Captain Qin, do you think I should come back riding a tall horse to look more heroic?"

Zhang Heling turned his head and asked.

"Since you said so, Master, I will make preparations early next time I accompany you on an errand." Qin Yun said with a smile, "Now that we have arrived at our destination, please give the order to go in and get the person."

(I have a cold and fever, and I feel uncomfortable all over. I think it's Wuyang. The updates have been unstable in the past two days. Please forgive me! I will continue to ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month. Thank you!)
