Chapter 597: Qian Ning returns to Beijing

After passing Dezhou, the post road to the capital was divided into two. One was to go to Cangzhou, Tianjin and then to the capital, and the other was to go to Zhending Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture and then to the capital. The two roads were about distance and near. The previous road overlapped with Caohe, and it was shorter and more convenient. Most officials went to Beijing to take this road. However, Qian Ning, who rushed back from Jiangxi, stopped in Dezhou for a little rectification, did not follow the fast horses and whip to Tianjin as his subordinates said, but walked along Zhending Prefecture and arrived at Baoding Prefecture within two days.

He would come to Baoding Mansion specifically for nothing else, but for the three young masters who are like fish in water here!

That's right, it was the three great princes. After the first victory of the battle in Ji Nan, Zhang Zong said that Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang, the three noble brothers who were born in nobles, did not get carried away, and then led troops to clear out the bandits and horse thieves. Instead, after the first victory was reported, he retreated back to the military camp. Luo Wenhui, the magistrate of Qingyuan, and Luo Mingjian, the magistrate of Baoding, were almost dismissed because of misreporting the enemy situation. Now even if he can't stand the behavior of the three nobles, he can only turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't see it. As for the people in the city who were originally talking about Zhang Zong's words that the three people were not helping, they also hung a group of heads at the gate of the city and several flagpoles that were causing trouble, and then changed from being silent to being praised in unison.

Therefore, when Qian Ning brought only two entourages into the city and found a teahouse to sit down and inquire, he only heard the four tea guests talking about the shortcomings of those who were both parents and other families, and more people were talking about something else in the military camp. One of them shouted: "This time the three young masters are going to march towards Qiyun Village. That is the territory of the third big boss Qi Yanming, in addition to the tiger and Zhang Mao in Jinan. If he can win this time, the three young masters will be really famous. Is anyone happy to bet on a quarrel?"

"Bah, you should bet on such a court military service, don't have any brains!"

"It's just a little gambling, that is, the winning or losing of two or three copper coins... I bet that the three young men will definitely lose this time. The first one just left the shit and made a trick on others. How could such good luck come about this time!"

"Then you will lose this time. They are not fools. After the previous victory, they did not advance rashly. Now they suddenly started fighting, and they are clearly sure. Today, they will send troops. Our Luofu Zun and Grand Master Luo both took their officials to see him off. I think they had the most criticisms behind the scenes. If they weren't afraid that they would win again and make themselves shameless, why should they curry favor with each other like this?"

As he listened, when Qian Ning saw another storyteller coming out with a huqin, playing and singing, but began to talk about the night attack again. He took a deep breath. After throwing a few cents away, he quietly left the teahouse with his entourage. After walking around the city for half an hour, he even went to observe the scene of the troops there, and he returned to the inn that others had booked. As soon as he entered the room, the pretty woman covered in silk came up with a smile.

"My master is back!"

"Um!"

Although he completely tasted the taste of a gentle hometown in Jiangxi. Even those women were more savored than Shang Fenfen, Qian Ning was not that stupid after all. He knew that it was okay to be there. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, so he would definitely not report to the capital. But if he brought a few such women back, let alone the censor, even the two great gods pressed on him would not let him go. So at this moment, he raised his hands and let Shang Fenfen change the cloth shirt on his body, put on the brocade robe. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and squeezed it twice.

"Master, you see, this dress has just been changed, it's still early!"

"Are early? I never look at what I do!"

When he thought that even Zhang Zong said that the three playboys were praised by Xu Xun to such a high position. He even fought a battle of no one knows what kind of victory, and now he is going to lead troops to suppress the bandits again. He felt very upset. At the beginning of the year, he had no need to follow Xu Xun to patrol the border northwest, but he had been glad that Xu Xun had defeated the enemy and suppressed the rebellion in a blink of an eye. After returning, he was promoted to the top, which made Liu Jin suffer the loss of the boss, and for a moment he was in the limelight. Although Zhang Cai joined Liu Jin and Lin Han retired, he keenly smelled a bit of conspiracy during Jiao Fang's resignation. Even Zhang Cai's rebellion, he felt that something was not so right.

But so what, whether it is Xu Xun or Liu Jin, even if he can give him a high position, he is ultimately inferior to others and can help him. Even his future is within the control of others' decision. Look at Jiao Fang's most proud time, he is only one step away from the cabinet chief minister, but now, this is the best lesson!

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and hugged Shang Fenfen, strode to the side of the big bed, threw the person heavily on the bed, and stripped off the brocade robe that had just been on his body in a few seconds, and pounced on it rudely. He was breathing heavily and didn't even bother to take off Shang Fenfen's clothes. He only removed the two most hindrances and stepped straight into her body. For a moment, he felt that the unspeakable depression swelled thousands of miles away. Until his unwillingness and anger were venting it over and over again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know how many times this scene happened along the way, Shang Fenfen had already become accustomed to it. She even felt that the farther away from the capital, Qian Ning’s tyranny was even more severe. When she was in Jiangxi, there were some beauties given by King Ning to carry them for her, but now she could only endure it herself. Even so, this trip to Jiangxi gave her a lot of things that she could not imagine before, at least she saw the expectations for the rest of her life.

Since you can't get out of this man, then if you have power and money as compensation, you can barely survive!

When Qian Ning got out of bed and called a girl outside to come in, Shang Fenfen stood up with her sore and weak body and served him with water. After scrubbing her, she changed her clothes to him and herself, and then she left the house. Seeing Qian Ning go downstairs with a refreshing breath, she glanced at the room next to her and saw the door open. A middle-aged scholar came in from inside, and she shouted with a smile: "Oh, is Mr. Luo's motion sickness cured?"

"I'm just not used to taking the bus for so long, so I'll sleep for a while." The person who came out of the room was Rodick. He rubbed his temples on both sides. He immediately said with a smile, "I just didn't expect that Lord Qian was so fierce, and I could hear clearly through a wall."

"If Mr. Luo is interested, I think my master is willing to let the concubine serve you." Shang Fenfen saw Qian Ning, who was sitting there in the lobby in the lower head, looked up at him, but did not respond to him and Rodick's chat. She waited until the girl in the room had packed up and tiptoed back, and then said in a very low voice, "Mr. Luo, now you have arrived in Baoding Mansion. What you have said before, you have to keep your word!"

"That's of course. In the most famous resurrection gold and silver shop in the capital, I have saved 5,000 taels of silver for Mrs. Ru. As long as I use the jade hairpin given to you by my Qiansui Master before, I can withdraw it at will."

"That's good!"

Shang Fenfen breathed a sigh of relief, and then tied his hair loosely on the railing. He never even went in to look in the mirror again, and went straight downstairs. He looked at his back. Roddick couldn't help but smack his lips and let out a sigh of a peerless beauty. He thought that Xu Xun could ignore it at the beginning, just like a wooden man. If he hadn't married and had a daughter, Zhu Houzhao had already married now. He really doubted that the king and his ministers had any unclearity.

I stayed in Baoding Mansion for one night and found out all the things I should ask for. The next morning, Qian Ning set off on the road again, and naturally rushed all the way. I was so pitiful that Shang Fenfen experienced the baptism like a storm one night. He could hardly fall asleep in the turbulent carriage, so he could only stand up so hard. Fortunately, Baoding Mansion was only 350 miles away from the capital, and stopped at the inn for another night. On the afternoon of the third day, she finally saw the majestic capital through the curtains that opened a crack.

Finally back... No. If possible, she didn't want to step into this place that caused her life to be humiliated!

After a sudden return to the capital, Qian Ning ordered his two followers to send Shang Fenfen home first, and Rodick had already parted ways with him in Baoding Mansion. Then he took his confidants straight to Xixinsi Nei Factory in Xi'an Gate. After running for so long, he stepped into the yamen that had given him the authority he had long been long for, and his troubles were all dispelled by a sudden injected spirit. He sat down on the main seat in the middle of the General Office, and saw that several subordinates came up to salute. He flipped through the books in front of him, and then looked up and glanced at everyone, but found that one person was missing.

"Where is Wei San?"

"If you are not here, there is no one in the East Factory. Eunuch Liu asked him to go to the East Factory to watch some of it. He spent most of the time in the East Factory these days."

Although this was a natural arrangement, Qian Ning, such a suspicious and sensitive person, immediately smelled a surprising crisis. He finally used the double complaint in front of Liu Jin and Xu Xun to drive Qiu Ju out of the capital. Now he is holding the inner factory and the east factory in one hand. It is only a matter of time before the momentum of the Jinyiwei in the West Factory. How can anyone let him share his power? However, knowing that he could not have this happening at this moment, he nodded lightly and stood up immediately.

"Can Eunuch Liu be in the Sili Supervisor now?"

"Report to the master, Eunuch Liu should go back to his private residence."

Upon hearing this news, Qian Ning immediately did not delay and went out again without saying a word. When he arrived at Liu's house in Shajia Hutong, facing the chariots that not only blocked the entire alley, but also stretched to the streets under Gulou and several nearby alleys, he sighed in secretly that Liu Jin was so powerful that he slowly slowed down and finally jumped off the horse in front of the Liu Mansion.

Although it has not been seen for several months, the people at the door are still familiar with Qian Ning, and someone immediately went to report it. After a while, Sun Cong personally greeted him: "Oh, it's Lord Qian who is back! My father-in-law is drinking with Lord Zhang inside. He heard that you are coming and said he is asking you to come in." Speaking of this, he glanced at the people with envious faces on the Hutong, and said with a smile, "Many people here have been waiting for ten days and half a month but have not been seen by my father-in-law. My father-in-law is very different from you."

"Yes, the function of humbleness is today, and it is inseparable from the support of my father-in-law."

Qian Ning blew up in a bad mood. When he entered the Liu Mansion, he realized that he hadn't seen him for several months, and the house had changed a little. Not to mention anything else, the original most vulgar Qilin screen wall in front was now replaced by a river and sea boating, and the stone also seemed rough and gentle. It was no longer like this. The white marble before was afraid that people would not know that the person living here was the largest turtle in the dynasty. After Sun Cong passed through several pavilions, his feeling became even stronger.

"Brother Sun, has someone been invited to change this mansion?"

"Haha, it's either someone else, it's Lord Zhang." Although Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian, one is close to Liu Yu and the other is close to Cao Yuan, because Zhang Cai is also extremely generous, and does not ask them to do things or say good things in front of Liu Jin. In addition, Zhang Cai has been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and Liu Jin is just obeying his words. Therefore, when Sun Cong mentioned Zhang Cai, he naturally felt a little more respect. "Mr. Zhang is well-educated, and he has a gully in his chest. If he changes a little, everyone will say yes. Look, in the water pavilion beside the lotus pond in front, my father-in-law is drinking with Lord Zhang!"

Before, Xu Xun was not in the capital, and Qian Ning came to the Liu Mansion a lot. He knew that although the Liu family had been in and out all day long, there were often a large group of people surrounding Liu Jin like stars. It was really the first time that Liu Jin could treat him like this. Therefore, he vaguely wondered whether he wanted to test Zhang Cai, but at this moment he had already thrown the thought out of the sky.

He would do it first according to the previous plan, no matter what Zhang Cai’s purpose is!

"Father-in-law, Lord Zhang!"

After entering the water pavilion, Qian Ning respectfully saluted Liu Jin and Zhang Cai one by one. Seeing that people were so obedient, Liu Jin felt very proud. He immediately smiled and greeted Qian Ning and asked the maid to move a chair to let him sit together. Then he asked with great interest: "Qian Ning, what are you getting to Jiangxi?"

Qian Ning owed her body, and then said sincerely: "I used to think that Jiangnan was good. Now I know that Jiangxi is not inferior to Jiangnan, but also famous scholars with literary talent. No wonder Jiangxi has been known as the Wenyuan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. However, the scholars there talked a lot about the major policies of the court, and some of the humble officials really dare not say it to be a humble father-in-law! Ning Wang is very humble. When I was about to leave, he also said that his father-in-law is highly respected. He only regrets his relatives' fiefdoms and cannot pay homage to him, otherwise he would like to see his father-in-law's style!"
