Zhang Mingtu was still at home when he received the news, and it was Jin Yiwei who sent the message secretly.
I can get the corresponding tokens and letters of appointment after I know them.
But Zhang Mingtu felt a little baffled, but soon, as more specific and detailed tasks were handed down, Zhang Mingtu had a vague understanding.
The task handed down from Jin Yiwei requires him to investigate the surrounding areas of Wang and Li's family, investigate the annexation of various surrounding lands, and investigate many displaced people.
The various investigation information has no source, no beginning or end, and the main purpose is not clearly stated. If another Jin Yiwei came here, he would definitely be confused.
But Zhang Mingtu has experienced it once and can understand it at a glance.
"Is this Rui Hai coming?"
The most detailed Jianyi investigation report in Ruihai's hands was written by him.
The refugees to be investigated now were all good people back then. Their land was occupied, their fertile farmland was lost, and they could not work as tenants. They had no skills and could only become refugees.
There are also related cases of missing persons, basically all of which are related to the Wang and Li families.
In Jianyi, the ordinary family members are still unclear about the specific situation. There are even some businessmen and even official rumors spread that Ruihai is bloodthirsty and violent, standing three feet tall and eating one person a day.
But those who have really gone far in the officialdom, and those who have outstanding families among the Jinyiwei, all know what Ruihai did in Xingguo County.
It uses official power to eliminate local abuses and allocate land to local refugees.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is of course a good deed and accumulation of virtue, just like a living Bodhisattva in the temple. However, from the perspective of everyone in the aristocratic family and officialdom, this is tantamount to digging one's own grave and ostracizing oneself from the aristocratic family for the rest of his life.
No one with good connections wants to get too involved with Rui Hai, even if it is rumored that Rui Hai has the favor of the chief minister.
But there are still not many people willing to interact with Rui Hai.
"In the past, Xue Cheng was actively providing various investigation information. Now he has a bright future. He has been promoted to Dai Baihu, and will soon become Jin Yiwei's Baihu.
"After crossing this big threshold, I don't want to have too much contact with Rui Hai..."
Although Zhang Mingtu did not make many achievements in the officialdom, and his highest position was the general banner of Longxing Mansion, he was well aware of the twists and turns within it.
Xue Cheng didn't have much of a future before and was given up by his family, so he just had to follow his own temperament.
He is full of passion, wants to serve the country, and wants to make a career. He may have some understanding of Rui Hai's behavior, but he still carries it out firmly, but now he is completely different.
"Sure enough, one cannot predict the future superstitiously at any time. The future will already change the moment I see it..."
Zhang Mingtu sighed in his heart, Jianyi Jinyiwei Zongqi's status was not very high, but he was still favored by many people.
The reason why no one came out to fight with him in this round was simply because Ruihai was coming and no one with status was willing to fight.
The character who wanted to compete was not strong enough, so Zhang Mingtu missed him.
"Forget it, since Xue Cheng doesn't want to, then I'll do it."
"I just didn't expect that after going around and around, it would be in my hands again."
Zhang Mingtu also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and suggested that he had written the investigation report. He did not want to step forward and give the report to Rui Hai. Don't expect that when the matter came, Rui Hai issued an order through Jin Yiwei to continue the investigation.
However, this time we did not investigate the main issues, but instead investigated some minor issues to verify the situation in the Jianyi investigation report.
"Since I'm asked to investigate, you can totally be lazy and do other things..."
It's not that Zhang Mingtu is not serious, but that someone has clearly investigated the specific situation of what his future brother has experienced before.
Zhang Mingtu only needs to write down the corresponding reports and situations. If he actually needs to visit, he will take a walk around and make sure that he has been there.
"Oh, it's all my fault that my former brothers worked too hard, so now I have no direction to work hard..."
Zhang Mingtu thought for a while, he was busy here and there in the past two days, either half a master pretending to be cool, or squatting in front of the underground river in the middle of the night to blow the cold wind.
Now that all kinds of things have come to an end for the time being, he should enjoy life.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mingtu naturally wandered to Fulai Restaurant. The restaurant's business was quite good. Weiyuan Escort Bureau sold the wine further and further, and the reputation of the wine gradually spread.
As the only restaurant in Jianyi that only sells Yu Hu Chun, famous people come here in an endless stream. Even merchants who pass by this place want to order a pot.
Zhang Mingtu always absorbed all kinds of obsessions. He thought that the world was full of poor people. When he came to Fulai Restaurant, he realized that it was not that the world was full of poor people, but that he didn't see any really rich people.
People who come to Fulai Restaurant can easily take out a tael of silver and order a pot of jade pot spring.
And among the many obsessions Tibetans have absorbed, it takes many people several months to save this one tael of silver.
"Where have you been these past two days? Why haven't you seen anyone?"
When Zhang Jishi saw Zhang Mingtu, he muttered, but didn't say much.
However, Wang Yulan pulled Zhang Mingtu aside, took out a plate of sauced beef from the kitchen cabinet, and said with a smile on her face.
"You're hungry. Eat something first. I know you have a big appetite. This cabinet is always prepared with what you want to eat. If you're hungry, get it from here."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Mingtu's response, Wang Yulan ran to the kitchen in a hurry. At this time, there were many people in the restaurant and she was very busy.
That is to say, she only came to say hello when Zhang Mingtu came, and she ignored others when they came.
Zhang Mingtu stared at it blankly. The soy sauce and meat sauce in his hand was just right. It was already cold, but there was still a fragrance wafting to the tip of his nose.
He had a huge appetite when practicing martial arts before. Wang Yulan obviously remembered this and often prepared some Zhang Mingtu's food in the kitchen.
Looking at the busy restaurant, Zhang Mingtu was a little confused.
It's been a while since I've been here. The restaurant has changed a lot. All the new furniture has been painted with oil, not cooking oil, but tung oil.
The furniture inside the store was also more neatly arranged, and more people came to the restaurant. Zhang Mingtu saw several familiar faces from the Zhang family among them.
I even saw the old wine man with a broken arm, who was basking in the sun not far from the hotel entrance. Next to him lay a civet cat with a posture similar to his.
The future brother in the book of life and death recorded very detailed and clear records of the various life and death situations he encountered, but very little was recorded about the changes in the restaurant.
But when Zhang Mingtu saw such a scene, he suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart. What was recorded in the book of life and death were earth-shattering events of life and death.
When Zhang Mingtu sees the corresponding records inside, he will always feel uncontrollable tension in his heart, and he will feel a kind of pressure all the time.
The old man in the restaurant at the door stews the haggis and beef offal that are often cooked in the restaurant into soup, and sells them to the poor people passing by the market at the price of a penny, which is in sharp contrast to the bustling people inside the restaurant who drink Yuhuchun.
Contrast, but not contradictory, and merge with each other.
Zhang Mingtu looked at it like this, feeling an inexplicable sense of stability in his heart.
I don’t know how many ordinary people’s lives have been changed because of this restaurant.
His heart that was wandering in the sky seemed to have fallen to the ground at this moment.
