Chapter 60

"Then what should Eunuch Zou say?"

Zou Yi smiled, raised his hand and said in greeting:
"Xiao Cai, take our family's post and go to the Yamen of Shuntianfu. They said that there is a case on South Street. The police came to investigate and left without saying anything. There is something tricky, go and come back quickly!"

One of his two entourages rushed over, took Zou Yi's name card, turned around and left the door. With the investigation of the case at this level, there was no way for Wang Tong to proceed further.

Simply took out a piece of silver and gave it to Sun Dahai, and let them distribute it themselves. When they went home to celebrate the New Year, Sun Dahai and his party were very happy. They came to pay New Year's greetings, never thought that they would also take the New Year's money, and get closer to the adults, which is a double win. Everyone stood up and thanked Wang Tong for leaving South Street.

He ordered another person to come over tomorrow, but Wang Tong missed Zhang Shiqiang a little bit. Zhang Shiqiang went out of the city to go home on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. He said he was going to Tongzhou to worship the ancestors and sweep.

It's not that Sun Dahai's group doesn't do things, and it's not that they don't care, but Wang Tong is really not as handy as Zhang Shiqiang.

"Is your lord here? Li Wenyuan brought a tiger head to wish you a happy new year!"

Only people left from this side, but someone shouted outside the delicious restaurant, Wang Tong hurriedly called people in, but it was Li Wenyuan and his son, who were polite again.

After all, Li Wenyuan and Zou Yi were not familiar with each other, so it was not appropriate to sit here. After a few words of pleasantries, Wang Tong arranged for Ma Sanbiao to take them to his home to entertain them and have dinner together at night.

Only Wang Tong, Zou Yi and his entourage were left in the delicious restaurant. Zou Yi's entourage brought water to boil, made tea and served it, and then hid again.

"Brother Wang, it's the right way to do things, but don't be too stingy."

After the people went out, Zou Yi picked up the tea and blew it, and suggested in a deep voice. Wang Tong was stunned, and quickly stood up with his fists cupped, and asked politely:

"Brother Zou, I do still have a lot of things I don't understand, brother, please give me some advice!"

"In the imperial city and the capital, there are only a hundred people who know that you are close to the emperor. If you go out and use this relationship to show off, it is indeed inappropriate, and the palace will not be happy, but brother, if you are too careful, everything should be done according to If you do it as a general flag, the palace will be unhappy!"

Wang Tong was stunned when he said this, Zou Yi put down his teacup, pointed at the narrow banner hanging in the store with a smile, and said loudly:

"With Eunuch Feng's words, if you don't run rampant in the capital, you will lose face to Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Feng is the head of the internal officials, and you will also lose face to the royal family."

Although there are similarities between the commercial workplace and this official politics, there are also great differences. Wang Tong listened solemnly. After Zou Yi finished speaking, he said relaxedly:
"Brother Wei guesses that Brother Wang doesn't want to be just a jester, but also to do things for the inside and outside to see. This plan is correct, but I also remember one thing. The higher-ups will only ask you what you do when they see you doing things. How, I won’t ask you how to do it, but let’s do it boldly!”

After saying these words, Wang Tong stood there in a daze for a while, and after realizing it, he clasped his fists deeply and said gratefully:
"Thanks to Brother Zou for his advice, I really don't know how to repay my brother's kindness!"

Zou Yi's words actually broke a dead knot in Wang Tong's heart and made him understand that this era has its own laws, and he must act according to the laws of this era in this era, instead of being conditioned by previous experience. Live, act also restrained.

"Eunuch Zhang and our family have made a big bet on Brother Wang. We will naturally wait for Brother Wang to repay you in the future, and we will be polite to you then!"

What he said was straightforward, but it made Wang Tong understand better that Zhang Cheng and Zou Yi helped him so unruly and pointed him out in order to win him over better.

The more unruly help you get, and the more you know about urgent and taboo matters, the closer your relationship with Zhang Cheng and Zou Yi will be, and you are now on the same boat.

Wang Tong didn't say much, just bowed solemnly.

The Shuntian Mansion Yamen in Dongcheng City was also very deserted this day, except for a few people who were on duty, the rest of the people went home to celebrate the New Year.

Chen Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of the Fufu, is drinking wine in the second hall. There are two charcoal braziers beside him. It is very warm and comfortable. The sauced pork strips made by the second room at home are very tasty, and the wine is sorghum from Baoding. It is really cozy Very.

Ordinary magistrates are only ranks of fourth and fifth ranks, but because Shuntian Mansion manages the capital, the magistrate is called Fu Yin, which is a rank of third rank.

Looking at the high rank, he is the most irritated. Under the feet of the emperor, inside and outside the palace, and the six departments of the cabinet, who would put such a third-rank official in his eyes.

However, this place of the capital is different from other places. If you put it in other places, such a big thing will become a big trouble in this capital. All kinds of people will come to find fault with you, and you have to bow and kowtow with an apologetic smile on your face. Listen and be angry Bao, there is a catchphrase in official circles, which is called:
"If you don't do good in the third generation, you will be punished in Shuntian Mansion."

But the governor of the third-rank government was angry, and the second-ranked government minister of the fourth grade in the mansion was different. Firstly, he didn't have to deal with outside leaders, and secondly, he was in charge of the general affairs of the Shuntian mansion, and everyone had to intervene in both big and small matters. .

Naturally, the eunuchs in the officials' palaces cannot afford to offend, but there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the capital, and there are many people from all over the world who come in and out, and how many merchants buy and sell.
These oils and waters are distributed layer by layer, but Fu Cheng takes the biggest head. Fu Yin did not make a long term, and each term has a lot of trouble to get through the joints to be transferred away, regardless of the subordinates.

On the contrary, the following Fucheng, Zhizhong, and Tongpan have been doing it for a long time. Fucheng Chen Zhizhong has been doing it for eight full years. The natives who have a little knowledge in the capital know that Chen Zhizhong and Chen Fucheng are in charge of Shuntian Prefecture, and their words are useful. people.

The sorghum burning in Tongzhou is strong wine. Chen Zhizhong was already a little drunk, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. Wanli made a lot of money in four years. Should he marry the red card in Chunfenglou to be the fourth house, or is he in Hejian Mansion? To set up a Zhuangzi, my mother-in-law’s younger brother wrote several times, saying that now I want to set up a silk or cotton weaving workshop in Suzhou or Songjiang, and the annual bonus of a loom is worth several acres of irrigated land.

But this brother-in-law can't believe it, the capital is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, and if he can't keep it, this unscrupulous bastard just swallowed the money into his own pocket, but with so much money, how can he spend it?

The heat is roasting, the wine is delicious, Chen Zhizhong's eyelids are clenched, he is about to lie down on the table and take a nap,

"Master Fu Zun, Master Fu Zun!!!"

Suddenly there was a yamen servant's shout from the front, Chen Zhizhong gave a sudden pause, and slammed his head on the table, half sober from the wine, he rubbed his forehead and shouted angrily:
"What are you shouting about for the New Year's Eve, howling!!!"

"Fu Zun, Fu Zun, Zou Yi, Eunuch Zou Yi, the left young supervisor of the internal official supervisor, sent someone to hand over the post..."

With a sound of "Plop", Chen Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, fell directly from the chair.

I strongly pushed it, let's see if I can make a third update tomorrow, please continue to recommend and collect and come over to support! !
