Chapter 368 Tong Guan left more than one hand there (1st update)
Facing this cunning official's number one confidant, Liang Shicheng thought a lot and finally decided to tell the truth.
After letting out a long sigh, he showed a strange smile.
"The Hangzhou Jinming Bureau, if it were in the past, it would have been a rare and lucrative job."
"But things have been different since our Tong Jiedushi left there..."
Liang Shicheng's words filled with deep resentment immediately made Yang Jian raise his eyebrows.
"Huh? From what you're saying, does it mean that Tong Guan still has a hand over there?"
"He left more than one hand behind. Let's put it this way. Now that Tan Zhen is in Hangzhou, he has almost become a lost dog."
"That's why he came to our house for no other reason than to prevent him from staying in that unrealistic Hangzhou Jinming Bureau."
Yang Jian remained silent and listened carefully as Liang Shicheng told him about the sufferings and hardships Tan Zhen had encountered in Hangzhou.
He was also secretly calculating in his heart. If he was the most trusted eunuch of the official family in the palace, then Tong Guan, the guy with the sparse beard, could be regarded as the most capable eunuch in the eyes of the official family.
There was no way, who made Tong Guan proficient in military strategy? The important thing is that he had actually won several battles.
As an official determined to inherit the legacy of Emperor Shenzong and fight the Xixia to the death, it was natural that he needed to reuse this eunuch who could win battles.
After all, those generals, whether they were officials or civil servants in the court, were very worried about that gang of Ziqiu Ba.
But this made Yang Jian very jealous of Tong Guan, but he didn't have that ability.
In addition, Tong Guan, an old dog, relied on himself as a eunuch and had outstanding achievements, but he was somewhat indifferent to Yang Jian.
Moreover, relying on the trust of officials, even appointing private individuals in the army, how could Yang Jian, who was in charge of the Imperial City Division, not know about these things?
But Yang Jian also knew very well that with these black materials, he couldn't defeat Tong Guan at all, and he couldn't even hurt the opponent's hair much.
As for the Liang Shicheng in front of him, since he has the same hatred as him because of Tan Zhen's incident, helping him can also be regarded as forming a good relationship with Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen.
After Liang Shicheng left, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time before summoning a confidant eunuch and giving him instructions.
After the other party understood it, he left quietly.
Yang Jian just did not give an accurate promise. After all, what he wants to intervene now is the government affairs of the court. Only a genius knows what kind of drama those civil servants are singing.
All he can do is just add fuel to the flames. The key point still depends on the official’s wishes.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh with regret. If the No. 1 Scholar took action, I'm afraid this matter would be a sure thing.
After all, Yang Jian still has considerable trust in the prodigy's ability and speaking skills.
It's a pity that this is the matter of the eunuch in the palace, and it would be a bit of a waste of favor to go find him.

"Hey...Senior Brother, you haven't come to meet me and Brother Zhisheng for several days.
Could it be that because we put on the purple robe, we feel that talented people like us in scarlet robe are not worthy of you?"
As usual, Cai Laoliu couldn't say anything nice with his bad mouth. With such emotional intelligence, Gao Zhang felt that if he, Cai Laoliu, hadn't relied on his family background, he would never want to marry a wife in this life.
Gao Zhang ignored Cai Laoliu at all, but walked into the private room with a smile and greeted Tong Zhisheng and sat down.
"Brother Zhisheng, you have received so many dividends these days, have you thought about how to use them?"
"The Sa family ordered three iron Zen staffs, two Xia swords, and five Xia swords. It's a pity that the Sa family has no talent in archery. Otherwise, they should have ordered a few more good bows."
"That's it?" Gao Zhang waited for a long time with a confused look on his face. He couldn't help but wonder when he found that Tong Zhisheng had nothing to say.
"Of course, why else would we do it? The Sa family would also like to make a few pairs of armors, but unfortunately no one dares to take on such a private job."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Gao Zhang and Cai Laoliu's mouths twisted in unison.
Cai Laoliu, who has low emotional intelligence, shook his head with disdain.
"Others are not as afraid of death as you are. Not to mention privately forging armor, even if you keep it secretly, you will not be able to do it unless you die."
Gao Zhang, who had high emotional intelligence, raised his thumbs towards Tong Zhisheng, his face full of admiration.
"Brother, you are truly a martial arts idiot. With your equipment and your ability, brother, you can conquer the mountain and become the king by yourself."
"You Cai Laoliu, are you speaking in human language? Learn from your senior brother. If you hadn't paid for today's meal, the Sa family would have thrown you out of here right now."
With Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng chattering in front of them, Gao Zhang relaxed his stomach and ate, drank and laughed.
After eating and drinking, he told the two of them that the imperial court had once again ordered a batch of flat bows, and this time the quantity was several times higher than the previous one.
Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng couldn't help but shine with their eyes, but soon, Cai Laoliu let out a long sigh, picked up a glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it.
"Think about me, Cai Yao. I have been an official for nearly a year. I am already wearing a scarlet robe, but I am doing some miscellaneous things all day long. I am even trapped in the secret pavilion. I really have nowhere to use my skills...
"
"A few days ago, I discussed with my father to ask someone to allow me to go out, but the result, alas..."
"Been beaten again?" Gao Zhang and Tong Zhisheng asked with unsympathetic corners of their mouths.
Seeing the ugly and malicious smiles of these two bastards, Cai Laoliu felt evil in his heart. If he hadn't been unable to defeat them, he would have used his bastard punches to attack them.
"You two, can you be more serious and talk about business?"
"Okay, okay, having said that, the Sa family also wants to leave Bianliang, Tokyo, to walk around and meet the heroes of the world..."
Gao Zhang looked at the dragon and the phoenix, touched his smooth and jade-like chin, and couldn't help but think deeply. He wanted to go out and leave Bianliang, Tokyo, to do things.
However, if I leave Bianliang, Tokyo to take up a post abroad, then the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks will probably not be able to accompany me there.
After all, how could Quan Huan, a traitor, watch his son helplessly and act like a younger brother to others?
But if he didn't go abroad to take office and had no experience in serving in a certain place, how could he be qualified to be in power, or even become the powerful prime minister of the Song Dynasty?
Time waits for no one. Managing connections, expanding influence, making good friends, and boosting reputation are not easy tasks.
Many of these errands that require personal experience cannot be accomplished by staying in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Looking at the pair of powerful eunuchs and traitorous disciples in front of him, Gao Zhang began to plan for his own career in the future...
