Chapter 28
In March, the smoke and willows float.
In the back garden of Zhang Mansion, flowers are clustered with flowers and peaches and plums compete for beauty.
Qiao'er squatted on the ground and had fun with Xiao Huang, giggling constantly.
Yan Su hugged his Chuanshuiliu and stood on the side with a expressionless face. Since the assassination of Yu Zhenzi, Yan Su has been stubbornly catching up with Zhang Mu, but at that time he had a pretty face and a frosty face, which scared the people in the mansion that did not dare to approach Zhang Mu.
At this moment, the breeze blew, and the red flowers fell on the trees, spreading Qiaoer and Yan Su, and there were a pool of spring water and rippling waves everywhere. It was such a beautiful Jiangnan***.
However, Zhang Mu is the most incredible one. After he squatted at the earth stove he built, Songwen kept throwing firewood inside, and a large black pot was lit up, igniting a roll of black smoke.
Both Zhang Mu and Song Wen covered their faces with a man scarf. Even so, both of them had a embarrassed face like a cat.
Songwen didn't know what was cooked in the big pot. The yellow one looked disgusting and the smell was very pungent. When he came back from the farm the day before yesterday, he started digging soil to build a stove. He followed the demon and had already dumped four or five things that had suffered a disaster. This morning, just as dawn, he started to tossing again.
"Hey, is the young master so scared? The old patriarch doesn't care. I really don't know what's wrong with this?" Song Wen complained.
"Don't throw the firewood quickly, the temperature cannot drop. Why are you standing there?" Zhang Mu kicked Songwen, who hurriedly continued to throw the firewood.
Although Yan Su held his arms and had no expression on his face, his eyes were full of suspicion.
A young man didn't study hard and boiled oil here, but the oil-boiled ingredients were not right? Others boiled oil with white meat, but he directly used ready-made oil, but he added half a bag of tartar to it, which smelled so badly.
Anyway, if she beat her to death, she didn't think it was something to eat.
"Muguoguo, what are you doing?" Qiaoer in the distance also smelled the pungent temperature and couldn't help but frown and shouted.
"Of course I'm making money. When Brother Mu makes money, I'll buy you something delicious." Zhang Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
Seeing the fat and stalk in the pot slowly distribute the water, I hurriedly stirred with a wooden stick.
It was not until the stuff in the pot slowly merged that Zhang Mu showed a gratified smile.
"It seems that the first step is almost done. It is indeed easy to say but difficult to do. Yesterday's day was not in vain." Zhang Mu stood on one side and said in his heart.
"Young Master, the shopkeeper Tao from Yuelai Restaurant in Dongmen is here." At this time, Zhang Wenguang hurried over and said.
"Yuelai Restaurant? Is there any contact between us?" Zhang Mu asked.
"He has never been in contact with each other. Today, he suddenly came to the door and the patriarch was discussing with other patriarchs. So the young man came to report to you." Zhang Wenguang explained hurriedly.
Zhang Mu thought that the old patriarch was not working on Zhang Ao’s affairs, so he went to see him in a county town.
"I'll go change my clothes." He turned around and instructed: "Songwen, be careful to watch it. When the incense is finished, I will put in the clear salt water I have over there. I will come back soon."
After washing, changing clothes, changing clothes for a while, he hurriedly followed Yan Su to Xinrong Hall one after another.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tao Xingchang sitting in the guest seat to serve tea. When I saw Zhang Mu, I hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Young Master Zhang, I have been keen on you for a long time."
Zhang Mu looked up at him. He was wearing a high-quality Yunmang Man's outer shirt and a square scarf. He was very kind.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen have the lowest status. Even if he is rich, he can only wear cotton clothes. With his round figure, he looks no different from a nouveau riche. So he greeted him, "Please sit for extra money. I wonder what happened to the official's house today?"
Zhang Mu was still thinking about him, you were not formed in a pot, so he wanted to let him go.
"I have a big news about you. Can people around you avoid it?" Tao Xingchang said with a mysterious smile.
"You guys go down first." Zhang Mu waved his hand.
"Young master, this is probably inappropriate." Zhang Wenguang asked in a low voice. After all, Zhang Mu had just been assassinated.
"It's okay." Zhang Mu didn't know what medicine Tao Xingchang sold, so he said.
In a moment, only Tao Yuanwai and Zhang Mu were left in Xinrong Hall.
"Aside from Tao, can you tell me now?" Zhang Mu asked with a smile.
"Zhang Mu, the Jinyiwei, hasn't knelt down and obeyed the orders." As he spoke, Tao Xingchang took out a tooth sign from his sleeve, held it up and put it in front of Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu was stunned and looked straight at the big words "Tao Xingchang, the small flag of Jinyiwei" written on the tooth sign.
"Embroidered Uniform Guard!!"
When these three words flashed through Zhang Mu's mind, Zhang Mu subconsciously thought of this terrible institution.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was spread throughout it, which was infamous and intimidating.
Zhu Yuanzhang and their partners built a great country. In their late years, what they were most worried about was that these partners were not honest.
The crown prince Zhu Biao was too kind. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the crown prince would not be able to control these heroes, so he had the famous "metaphor of eliminating Jing", and the Jinyiwei was a powerful tool to cut off these thorns.
Then in the case of Guo Heng's corruption and Hu Weiyong's rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated a group of heroes, but the Jinyiwei also caused a lot of controversy, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to temporarily stop the battle, which led to the burning of the Jinyiwei's torture instruments in the 20th year of Hongwu.
However, the people to be killed have not been killed yet, and the Jinyiwei is still very useful, far from being cooked by a rabbit and a dog. Therefore, it is expected that the Jinyiwei will start activities now.
Three years after the Hu Weiyong case, these dormant Jinyiwei have been dispatched again.
But Zhang Mu never thought that he would have any interaction with the Jinyiwei. After all, now in the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Jinyiwei was deposed until the 26th year of Hongwu. He waited until the Yongle period, and he did not recover. So he didn't think about this at all.
Moreover, what Tao Xingchang said just now was: "Zhang Mu, the Jinyiwei." He could hear clearly, and he felt a little dazed and thought he had heard it wrong.
"President Tao, no, Lord Tao said that the young man was the Jinyiwei?" Zhang Mu asked stutter.
"Yes, your father Zhang Ran is the General Banner of the Jinyiwei, a seventh-rank military officer. He is lurking in the local area to handle the job for His Majesty. You are a military householder. According to the national law, your father is dead. Shouldn't you inherit your father's business?" Tao Xingchang suddenly seemed to have changed his own person, no longer the timid little boss, but his eyebrows are straight and upright, which is intimidating.
"What? My father is actually the Jinyiwei!" Zhang Mu was shocked when he heard this, and was shocked again.
