Chapter 50
"Muguoguo, you have to bring me something delicious." Qiao'er stood outside the vermilion gate of Zhang Mansion, with a pair of slender hands like onion pieces, reluctantly pulling Zhang Mu's sleeves.
Zhang Mu saw that she was wearing a short red floral jacket today, wearing a light-colored Su-embroidered pomegranate skirt, combed her hair, and under her slender eyelashes, a pair of sapphire-like eyes flashed, and her eyes were full of anticipation. Facing such a little loli, Zhang Mu's heart melted.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. I have recorded all the sweet candied fruits and the best dried fruits." Zhang Mu said gently.
When the little girl heard this, she smiled sweetly. Unfortunately, she took a mouthful of teeth like weaving shells. She was in the middle of changing teeth. A big front teeth were laid off honorably. With such a smile, she was exposed.
Wang Hongtai was just telling his master's wife, and Yan Su saw Qiaoer and Zhang Mu so intimately, she suddenly felt a little inexplicable evil fire in her heart, so she hugged his broken water and flowed into the carriage.
Yan Li explained to Old Man Zhou one by one at the gate that Zhang Mu went to the mansion to take the test this time, and Yan Li started to be as if he was facing a great enemy. He specially brought the sword king Zhao Feng with him, leaving Old Man Zhou and the others in the mansion to guard the house.
"Mu Zhi, when you go out, you are not as careful as your home. You have to be careful in everything. After the mansion is finished, come back quickly and don't delay outside." The old patriarch Zhang Qi instructed.
Zhang Mu is now the pride of their Zhang family, and Zhang Qi felt very worried.
"Grandpa Don't worry, I'll come back after the exam." Zhang Mu said here, then turned around and said to Zhang Wenguang: "You must do what I told you quickly. Don't delay."
"Don't worry, young master, I understand." Zhang Wenguang hurriedly bowed his waist.
"Okay, let's go." After Zhang Mu bowed to the master's wife and the old patriarch, he turned around and set out from Yongkang City, a large carriage and five horses.
Magistrate Zhang personally sent him five miles away from the city. Almost all the squires from Yongkang were dispatched. Zhang Mu was so flattered that he returned to the time when he was the mayor.
Yongkang was more than an hour away from Jinhua Mansion. I was afraid of encountering trouble on the road, so I got faster. It was the morning when I arrived in Jinhua Mansion.
This was the first time Zhang Mu arrived in Jinhua Mansion. After entering the city gate, he was a little disappointed when he saw it inside.
Jinhua Mansion is only larger than Yongkang, but not larger than that in the area. It has more people than Yongkang, but it is also rare, which is a world of difference from Zhang Mu when he went to Jinhua in modern times.
When the carriage heard Jinhuayi, someone came out to greet him, and parking was no problem.
After arriving at the wing room, Zhang Mu changed into his clothes and headed towards the backyard of the inn.
The backyard of the inn is a place where cars and horses are parked, and it is usually lived by the servants. It is very messy. As soon as Zhang Mu entered, he saw a python tiger feeding horses. The python tiger happened to see him and smiled and said, "You kid is here." Just by this smile, he couldn't look at his face anymore.
As he said that, Manghu came over and gave Zhang Mu a bear hug. Zhang Mu almost died and hurriedly said, "Didn't it mean that Lord Jiang wants to see me?"
"Oh, I forgot about this. Come with me." As he said that, Manghu led the way for Zhang Mu and left the gate of the backyard. There was a house opposite the alley, which looked very ordinary.
Mang Hu walked to the door and knocked on the door gently. At this time, a gap was opened. Zhang Mu saw a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face popping out. Seeing Mang Hu, he hurriedly opened the door. He saw Zhang Mu behind Mang Hu, and couldn't help asking, "Is he Zhang Mu?"
"Of course, that's right. Don't look at him as young as he is very capable. Let's go out of the way, I'll take him to see the adults." As he said that, Manghu led the way in front of the axis.
Zhang Mu entered the yard and crossed the screen wall to find that the yard is quite large, with three inches and dozens of houses. Many strong men in the yard were chatting there. Zhang Mu saw that they were all murderous intent and thought that these might be the Jinyiwei.
After the news, Zhang Mu went outside the front yard hall to wait for orders. Mang Hu went in and informed him. After a moment, Mang Hu came out and whispered: "Mr. Han is inside, don't be afraid. Mr. Jiang is a very kind person."
Zhang Mu nodded, took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in.
When the Manghu closed the door, Zhang Mu hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Zhang Mu, the captain of the Jinyiwei, kowtow to the governor of the poliest."
"Forget it, you are Zhang Mu? Look up." At this time, Zhang Mu heard an extremely magnetic voice. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties in the main hall. He had a fat figure, a big round face, two thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a harmonious atmosphere.
He was wearing a round-collar shirt with cloud-head satin, an old man's scarf on his head, and a green jade ring on his fingers. His palms were thick and his skin was fair.
At first glance, it looks like Maitreya Buddha, and he feels like a very kind person. However, Zhang Mu has been in the officialdom for many years, and the more such a person he is, the harder it is to deal with.
For example, a person like Python Hu looks like a thunderbolt, but in fact he is a donkey. According to his wishes, everything is easy to say.
But he always smiles and is polite to everyone he sees. The more he is, the darker he feels. Otherwise, how could he climb to the position of the scrupulous envoy?
"Sir, this is what I told you about Zhang Mu. If it weren't for him, I would have turned in. Although this child is young, he is resourceful and very brave. He is loyal to the court and us. I think it is worth cultivating." Han Fangshan hurriedly recommended.
Jiang Yan looked at Zhang Mu with a smile, unable to see what he was thinking, but just nodded slightly, indicating that he was quite satisfied.
"The name Zhang Mu is good. It seems that your father has high hopes for you." When he said this, Jiang Han picked up the teacup on one side and blew the floating Yip Man on it and said, "I ask you, what do you think about the case?"
"The young man said lightly and did not dare to assert the king." Zhang Mu hurriedly bowed his waist and lowered his head.
"You said that, I just asked casually." As he said that, he took a sip, gently stroked the mouth of the teacup, drew a circle, and asked in harmony without looking at Zhang Mu.
"I feel that this anti-party is lurking here to make money and food rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and prepare for their future work." Zhang Mu whispered, but after he finished speaking, the hall was silent, and Zhang Mu could only hear his breathing.
"If it were you, would you do this?" After a moment, Jiang Yan suddenly asked.
"Follow the clues and catch them all in one go." Zhang Mu said neatly.
"But, the clue is broken now, what should you do?" Jiang Yan asked again.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he was shocked and instinctively felt that there was a pit waiting for him, just to see if he jumped.
"I'm a little fool, please tell me clearly." Zhang Mu played Tai Chi and threw the problem back.
"Haha, a small man is big and has a lot of thoughts. If you say it casually, I will just listen casually. It's okay to be right or wrong." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Damn it, it's so good to play Tai Chi." Zhang Mu knew that he had to jump into this trick, and he felt very itchy, so he said, "Now, lord is ruthless and has cut off all the financial trajectories against the party. If I were them, I would definitely develop the offline line again. I have already planned a way out. If I handle this case, I will definitely take this opportunity to break into them. This way I can catch them all in one go."
At this time, Jiang Yan glanced at Han Fangshan, and a strong smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stood up and said, "Zhang Mu listened to the order."
"I am not here." Zhang Mu hurriedly knelt down and said.
"You were the Jinyiwei and made great contributions many times. You were promoted to the General Banner of the Jinyiwei. From now on, you will be inspected. There must be no mistakes." Jiang Yan said suddenly.
Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment and said it was a pit, but he didn't expect it to be such a big pit, the bottomless pit, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid I can't be competent for the job."
"Oh? That's easy to deal with. Zhang Chi is from your Zhang family. Although he was expelled from your Zhang family, he is not a minor crime to participate in treason." Jiang Yan smiled again.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he was frightened and sweated. The implication was that if Zhang Mu didn't listen to him, he would turn against him.
He cursed in his heart: "Fuck your grandma's thigh." He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said again: "I will do my best to do my best. Please rest assured."
"Good boy." Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, Zhang Mu escaped from his arms and bowed his waist and said, "This is a little bit of humble intention. Please accept it with a smile."
Jiang Yan took it and opened it. He saw a piece of paper inside with a high-quality mutton fat jade seed jade pendant on it. The paper was the gift accounts given by officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang that day. Jiang Yan glanced at it and smiled knowingly, "You really know how to do things. This is what you deserve. Go." After that, he handed the box to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu hurriedly stepped out. When he opened the box, he saw that the paper was still there and the jade pendant was not there. He felt relieved. When the python tiger outside the door saw Zhang Mu coming out, he felt cold sweat and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
"You Jinyiwei cheated me." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and walked towards the gate with a dejected look.
