When Zhang Juzheng was invited into the abbot's courtyard at the back by Zhao Ran, he looked back from time to time until Zhao Ran asked: "Uncle? Uncle?" He turned back in confusion and asked: "Abbott, what's going on?
"
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many county masters and subordinates coming and going in Xuantan Palace? If I hadn't seen the abbot, I would have thought I was in the wrong place..."
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "You are talking about this, isn't the capital going to carry out street and drainage reconstruction projects? Wang Fuyin attaches great importance to it and strictly orders the two county magistrates to keep a close eye on it at all times and not to slack off, so these two
They stayed here with me. They were also very busy and had not gone home for almost two days. Seeing their hard work, I asked Yunshuitang to free up two side courtyards for them to stay temporarily. I didn't expect these two
He is so dedicated that he even brought the bedrolls here and spends most of his time focusing on the project. When he is free, he also handles important government affairs."
Zhang Juzheng blinked his eyes and said: "I just saw that Jiangning County's main hall was hearing a case in the side court..."
Zhao Ran said: "The case you mentioned is actually related to the project. The green bricks that were just laid on the Wende Bridge last night were stolen and dug up this morning. The Jiangning County team leader is very good at investigating the case.
He was caught and is being interrogated over there."
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng finally understood, but he still felt it was unbelievable. Of course, he had no time to worry about this kind of thing, so he said: "I'm here..."
Zhao Ran flipped through a plan made by Shangyuan County and said while reading: "Have you encountered any difficulties in practicing the Qi Convincing Method again?"
Zhang Juzheng said sarcastically: "Haha, there is no wiser person than the abbot."
Zhao Ran thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow afternoon."
Zhang Juzheng said happily: "Shall I come to greet the abbot?"
Zhao Ran said: "You don't want to come. It's too conspicuous. I can just go by myself."
Zhao Ran got up and sent Zhang Juzheng out of the abbot's courtyard. When passing by the side courtyard of Yunshuitang, he suddenly saw a group of police officers dragging several strong men with chains into the courtyard. The leading ones shouted: "Caught, caught, caught.
It was Jin Shilun from Qingliangshan who did it, please report it to the county magistrate immediately!"
"There is also Abbot Zhao, go and report to Abbot Zhao quickly!"
"The abbot is here, abbot, we have caught the head of the thief who stole the bricks and stones!"
Several police officers came out and surrounded Zhao Ran, asking him for credit. Zhao Ran stepped forward and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle, I won't send you away."
Zhang Juzheng said hurriedly: "The abbot is busy first."
Just as he went out, another group of police officers broke in outside. Zhang Juzheng happened to recognize the leader, but he was the county captain of Shangyuan County. This gentleman bowed to Zhang Juzheng and saluted: "I have seen Master Zhang."
Zhang Juzheng returned the gift: "This is..."
The county captain said: "I have something important to report to the peak, but I'm sorry to be with you."
Zhang Juzheng nodded: "You are busy, you are busy."
The county lieutenant and his men hurried into the Xuantan Palace. Zhang Juzheng vaguely heard: "The county magistrate asked you to report to Abbot Zhao quickly that the secret gambling house was found. The opponent is powerful and it is difficult to deal with...
…”
The next day, Zhao Ran finished handling his official duties and went to Prince Yu's Mansion. A group of students, led by Prince Yu, had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Ran could come almost once a month, and every time he could see new students among the students.
There are more than thirty faces so far.
It was the same today, and he didn't take it seriously. He still divided the group into two parts according to the fast and slow progress. There were more than 20 people in the fast group who had begun to focus on air guidance and breathing, and there were about a dozen people in the slow group who were still correcting their movements.
Zhao Ran answered some questions in practice, and then asked both groups to practice. After watching for a while, he selected two similar ones from the slow group and asked them to practice in the fast group.
After half an hour, Feng Bao brought tea to Zhao Ran himself. Zhao Ran understood and followed him to the edge of the pool.
Feng Bao whispered: "Jin Fang, whom the abbot asked to look for, was never found, but he found someone named Jin Ying."
"Jinying? Yang Jinying?"
"Yes, it is also the palace where the most beautiful women were selected in the third year of Jiajing. They are both from the capital, and their surname is Yang. Their age is roughly the same as what the abbot said."
With that said, Feng Bao took out a portrait and handed it to Zhao Ran: "The abbot took a look at it to see if it is this woman."
Zhao Ran took it and looked at it carefully, but to be honest, he had never seen Yang Jinfang and looked at it in vain, so he said: "I accept this picture? What's the situation with Yang Jinying?"
Feng Baodao said: "It is a regular member of Shang Bed Bureau, but it is only seen in the directory. My people inquired for several months before they found out that Shang Bed Bureau had a Yeting in the Imperial Garden. This one is named Jin Ying.
I'll take care of it there. This picture was obtained from Wang Ning's personal maid with a large sum of money. This Wang Ning's concubine came from Yeting, but now she has fallen out of favor. Your Majesty now favors Concubine Duan, who is also from Yeting."
Seeing that Zhao Ran was a little confused, he explained again and told Zhao Ran that Shang Bed Bureau is one of the six bureaus and one department of the inner palace, and Chang Zai is one of the palace maids with high rank. His official position is from the eighth rank, which is equivalent to a handyman.
The Maid's Maid.
He also told Zhao Ran that among the six bureaus and one division, Shang Bing Bureau was the least promising place to let someone out of the palace, especially Ye Ting, who he, a former eunuch who had just heard of, had no hope of letting anyone out of the palace.
After thinking about it, he gave Zhao Ran a vague advice: if Jin Fang was Jin Ying, he suggested "stop worrying about him".
Zhao Ran expressed his gratitude to Feng Bao, and then made a special trip to Longtanwei to see Zhang Lue.
Zhang Lue held the hand-drawn drawing he handed over and looked at it for a moment. His eyes became rounder and rounder, and his face turned red as he said, "Thank you, abbot... I am almost certain that the general is Jin Fang."
Zhao Ran turned his head curiously and looked at it together: "You have to look carefully. It has been more than 20 years, and the appearance of women has changed a lot."
Zhang Lue pointed to the earlobe of the woman in the image: "There is a black spot here. It is not a clerical error, but it was done deliberately by the person who painted the portrait. Her appearance is half or six times golden, and with this mole, there is no doubt about it.
"
Zhao Ran didn't know what to say, so he stayed with Zhang Lue in a daze for a while and told him: "I have heard about it, but once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. Don't think blindly, let alone lose your mind and do stupid things."
, think about your mother and these brothers!"
Zhang Lue sighed and nodded, as if he was exhausted and had no extra energy to say another word.
Zhao Ran didn't stay in Longtan Guard for long before he was urged back by a flying talisman. The flying talisman came from Dongfang Li. When Zhao Ran received the flying talisman, he patted the back of his head and almost knocked the two thieves Guanyun and Chunfeng away.
Forgot it.
It has been more than three months since the two thieves were arrested and brought to justice at the end of last year. The interrogation of these two thieves has been unable to make progress, and the key figures have never been identified. The two cabinets have thought of many ideas and adopted many measures.
Many methods were used, but they still had no effect. In the end, they were simply imprisoned and began to leak the news to the outside world, hoping to alert the snake.
Today he received a flying talisman from the East to urge him to come over. Could it be that the snake was really frightened?
