"Chen Baihu, don't worry. What I promised will be fulfilled. There must be absolute trust between you and me. Otherwise, how can we work together in the future?" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Chen Shiyi quickly realized that he shouldn't have such thoughts. Master Zhenfu gave him a time limit, and he would have his own way. He couldn't question him, otherwise he would destroy the trust between both parties.
"My lord, don't be surprised. I am not questioning your lordship. The relationship between Shen Liang and Mou Bin is known to everyone in the yamen. I am just surprised that your lord does not know about it."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Isn't this asking you? Tell me, don't I know everything? Tell me, what is their relationship?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Shen Liang's sister is Mou Bin's sixth concubine. Mou Bin's only son was born to Shen Liang's sister. Shen Liang was originally an ordinary frontier soldier of Datong Guard. This guy is enough Shameless. It is said that Mou Bin went to Datong on official business, and the local border army mobilized a small group of soldiers to coordinate the work, and Shen Liang was among them. He took this opportunity to dedicate his thirteen-year-old sister to Mou Bin, and then he hooked up with Mou Bin. Mou Bin's several wives and concubines did not give birth to a son, but Shen Liang's sister gave birth to a son. Naturally, he was deeply loved. Shen Liang was transferred by Mou Bin to the Jinyiwei Yamen of Xuanbeifang in the capital, and it only took four years. Xuanbeifang has thousands of households in Jinyiwei."
Zhang Yanling said "Oh" and nodded. No wonder he felt strange when he checked Shen Liang's resume. Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi were promoted to Qianhu for at least ten years, and Shen Liang spent four years without any record of great achievements. It was obviously unreasonable to be promoted to Qianhu. But now that Chen Shiyi said it, it was completely reasonable. It turned out that he came up through Mou Bin's relationship.
"Then how did he get to Nan Town Fusi Yamen? This is not a good place to go. Logically speaking, he should be transferred to the main Yamen or North Town Fusi. What is the benefit of a horizontal transfer to this Yamen as a thousand households? ?" Zhang Yanling said.
"Hey, sir, this is my first time getting involved in the officialdom. I don't know the twists and turns involved. After all, Shen Liang relied on this kind of relationship to get promoted. If he wants to serve in important yamen such as the General Office or Beizhen Fusi, his resume is still shallow. Therefore, it is the best way to get the position from the Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen. It is a coincidence that your Excellency came. Originally, the position of Your Excellency belonged to Shen Liang. He stayed for three years, just waiting for Wang Zhen to become an official. Originally, in the second half of last year, Wang Zhen Fu Gao is ill at home, and he has already regarded himself as the governor. Unexpectedly, the duck he got flew away. It's really funny." Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling said in shock: "In other words, I blocked his way?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Isn't that true? Your Excellency fell from the sky and blocked his way."
Zhang Yanling smacked her lips and said: "Oh my, he is going to hate me to death. Why is it that he still greets me with a smile? Isn't he going to scold all my ancestors for eight generations?"
Chen Shi said: "He keeps scolding him, but he can't do anything about the status of the master. Mou Bin can't change the matter of your appointment, let alone him. He can only curse a few words behind his back."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "It's interesting. It turns out there is such a thing. I said that when I came here, I felt that the atmosphere in the Yamen was strange. It turned out that I blocked his way and took his seat."
Chen Shi said: "Sir, I have to remind you of your humble position. In this yamen, Shen Liang talks more than you can do. Don't look at the fact that everyone is respectful on the surface, but when things really happen, you can mobilize the manpower you can. There are only low-level positions and personal guards. Everyone knows Shen Liang's identity, and he is extremely ruthless in his actions. No one dares to confront him. He shows no mercy to those who offend him. You should also see it. Well, he has the highest authority in matters in the yamen, and everyone else listens to him. As far as I know, he has greeted everyone above the general banner in the yamen. These people are at his disposal."
Zhang Yanling frowned and was silent. One thing now has an answer. Zhang Yanling figured out something last night. The emperor was already secretly investigating him, and it must be through the hands of Mou Bin. The relationship between Mou Bin and Shen Liang is so close, Shen Liang He also has a high position in Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen, so it is highly likely that Shen Liang will come to conduct surveillance and secret investigation nearby.
He was the one blocking Shen Liang's upward path. For Shen Liang, he was afraid that he would have to work hard to find evidence. I was afraid that this matter would not settle down as he hoped. The whole matter became More uncontrollable.
"It seems that in the yamen, I am just an empty shelf." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"No, your Excellency has a humble position and a personal guard." Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "That's right, I am not a loner. Who is Chen Baihu, that Zhang Yin...? This person is also from Qianhu, but he keeps a low profile. He seems to be very close to Shen Liang .I wonder what you know about him."
Chen Shiyi was stunned for a moment, seeming hesitant.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "What? Is there anything inconvenient to say?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Actually, there is nothing inconvenient to say. It's just..."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's not convenient to say, so I won't ask."
Chen Shiyi gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I have nothing to hide from you sir. Zhang Qianhu...has a criminal record."
Zhang Yanling said: "Oh? The file does say that he was demoted to Nanzhen Fusi because of his improper handling of the case. Could this be the case record you mentioned?"
Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Zhang Qianhu's handling of the case was too radical. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the court had a case of border troops collaborating with the enemy. I don't know if your Excellency knows about it."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "The eleventh year of Hongzhi? Chen Baihu, I'm afraid you are confused. I was only eleven years old at that time, how could I know?"
Chen Shiyi looked at Zhang Yanling and said, "But didn't your Excellency uncover all the cases from your humble past?"
Zhang Yanling raised her forehead and said: "So that's what you meant. Haha, I checked him, but the files on him were not retained. Don't forget, I found the file on your wife's case in a nook and cranny of the warehouse. It should be a fish that slipped through the destruction of the file."
Chen Shi rolled his eyes and thought: What a coincidence.
"So that's how it is. I will tell you about the case. That case was the case of Yuzhou Guard Commander Wang Dan collaborating with the enemy. At that time, the Jinyi Guard Yamen had clues that Yuzhou Guard Commander Wang Dan had colluded with the Tatars and let it go. The Tatars raided Weibian Town in Yuzhou and sold the weapons and armor of the guards to the Tatars for profit. This was a shocking case. The court handed it over to the Jinyiwei Yamen for secret investigation. The case fell into the hands of Qianhu, who was already in Fusi, Beizhen. On Zhang Yin."
"Oh? Zhang Yin served in Beizhen Fusi? It seems that he is quite capable." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"You don't know, Zhang Yin was originally a powerful general of the Yuzhou Guards. Before joining the Jinyiwei Yamen, he was well-known in the Yuzhou Guards. In the battle of Heishan Fort in the second year of Hongzhi, Zhang Qianhu was only a member of the Yuzhou Guards. Bai Hu, leading more than 90 brothers, showed no fear in the face of the harassment of more than 500 Tatar cavalry, and resolutely attacked. They fought with the Tatars for a day and a night. When the reinforcements arrived, more than 90 Montenegro soldiers Only twelve defenders were left alive. Zhang Yin had twenty-nine wounds on his body, and more than 500 Tatars suffered more than 300 casualties. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, they hurriedly withdrew. After that battle, the army's power was greatly shaken, and the emperor Everyone issued orders to praise him."
