Chapter 107

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhang Jie, who had lunch with Teng Teng Ziming, returned to the Daxiangguo Temple leisurely.

The first thing he did when he returned to the small courtyard was to discover Li Gang, who was still a little excited.

"Virtuous younger brother Di Renjie..."

As soon as he saw Zhang Zhang Jie, the excited Li Gang greeted him and said enthusiastically:

"Your Shan Po Yang can be said to have surpassed all the heroes today!"

Zhang Zhang Jie responded very calmly: "I already know."

Li Gang, who was about to give Zhang Zhang Jie a big surprise, was instantly like a duck whose neck was pinched:

"You, you know?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhang Jie nodded to confirm.

"Who told you?"

Li Gang didn't understand; didn't Zhang Zhang Jie go to visit his mentor?

How did he have a channel to know about the poetry meeting?

Or is it that "Shan Po Yang" is so popular that it has already spread to Zhang Zhang Jie's mentor's house?

"It was told to me by Teng Teng Ziming, the Prefect of Kaifeng."

Zhang Zhang Jie told the truth.

"..."

Li Gang was speechless. He just wanted to make Zhang Zhang Jie famous at the poetry meeting,

how did Zhang Zhang Jie get connected with a second-rank high official like the Prefect of Kaifeng so quickly?

Li Gang looked at Zhang Zhang Jie incredibly, his eyes full of accusation:

'Coach, I suspect this guy is cheating!'

"Brother Boji, you really harmed me!"

Zhang Zhang Jie, who didn't expect that the text transportation work of the time would have such an unexpected

harvest, seemed to be possessed by Chen Chen Youliang, the emperor of Chen Han.

"Quack."

Li Gang only felt that one hundred ducks flew over his head.

He would be willing to have such harm happen one hundred times!

The Prefect of Kaifeng is a high official who can be counted in the entire Great Song!

Getting his appreciation, not to mention anything else, Zhang Zhang Jie's official career will definitely be much smoother.

However, Li Gang is not one of those 21st-century

'friends who are afraid that their brothers will have a hard life, but also afraid that their brothers will drive a Land Rover' bad friends,

he really hopes that Zhang Zhang Jie, a good brother, will live well, and soon he was relieved,

and began to tell Zhang Zhang Jie some interesting things at the poetry meeting, such as a guy who hired a gunman,

but because he didn't pay the final payment, he was exposed on the spot by the victim.

Zhang Zhang Jie was speechless; has the wind of urging the final payment already blown to the Great Song?

And for the IQ of the guy who was exposed, Zhang Zhang Jie also expressed doubt.

How did such a guy pass the provincial examination?

Zhang Zhang Jie thought carefully but couldn't think of an answer,

and could only attribute such a fool to the fact that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds...

In the evening, Zhang Zhang Jie and his party had dinner in the dining hall of the Daxiangguo Temple.

It must be said that the Daxiangguo Temple is worthy of being the number one temple in the Great Song,

welcoming and sending off, not tired of fine food, not tired of fine cutting,

and the number of high-ranking officials and noble people who eat and drink is countless, and the taste of this vegetarian meal is really good.

Zhang Zhang Jie and Wu Song, who felt their appetites were wide open, finished the portion of ten people.

Li Gang, who already knew the appetite of Zhang Zhang Jie and Wu Song, was not surprised.

And the monks who came to eat looked at Zhang Zhang Jie and the others as if they were looking at two monsters in human skin,

and stood up one after another to stay away, for fear that the next moment the two monsters would tear their human skin and reveal their true colors,

and eat them, these monks, alive!

And the monk in charge of the cafeteria looked at the rice bucket that was empty very quickly, his face iron-blue.

At this moment, he didn't know whether the rice bucket he was guarding was a rice bucket,

or the two guys sitting on the chairs, gobbling up the food on the table, were rice buckets.

Of course, his little dissatisfaction, after Zhang Zhang Jie was full and satisfied,

under the radiance of the silver that was enough for the price of twenty people's vegetarian meals, instantly vanished.

Holding the silver, he smiled and said goodbye to Zhang Zhang Jie:

"Amitabha, four patrons, welcome you to visit again next time."

What else could Zhang Zhang Jie say? He could only say that my Buddha gate is a place that talks about fate~

The next day, Zhang Zhang Jie, who got up early, came to the prison of the Kaifeng government office.

At the same time, the two Gao Yamen runners who were ordered by Teng Teng Ziming to escort Yang Zhi to Great Ming Prefecture

also escorted Yang Zhi, who was wearing shackles, out of the prison.

"Young Master Zhang."

Yang Zhi, who discovered Zhang Zhang Jie, was excited.

He didn't expect that Zhang Zhang Jie would come to see him off today after testifying for him yesterday.

Zhang Zhang Jie first nodded to Yang Zhi to respond, and then cupped his hands to the two Gao Yamen runners:

"I have met the two Gao Yamen runners."

"Young Master Zhang."

The two Gao Yamen runners also greeted Zhang Zhang Jie.

The smile on Zhang Zhang Jie's face was as gentle as yesterday, but they didn't dare to be negligent:

The news that Zhang Zhang Jie and the Prefect talked happily yesterday had spread throughout the government office.

For those who work as officials, the first thing is not ability, but a pair of eyes.

If the eyes are not bright, and they offend someone they can't afford to offend,

let alone a worrying future, even their little lives are hard to guarantee!

"Does Young Master Zhang have anything to explain?"

A slightly older Gao Yamen runner asked in a low posture.

Zhang Zhang Jie smiled slightly, came to the side of the older Gao Yamen runner,

handed something flashing with silver light into his hand, and said in a low voice:

"Although I only met Brother Yang yesterday, I admire his courage.

Today he is about to go far to Great Ming Prefecture, and I am a little worried,

I hope the two Gao Yamen runners can take care of him a little on the way."

Feeling the heavy and very familiar feel of the thing in his hand,

how could the older Gao Yamen runner who had been working for decades not know what this was?

A smile like a blooming chrysanthemum instantly bloomed on his face:

"Since it is Young Master Zhang's friend, it is our friend.

Young Master Zhang, rest assured, we will definitely send Martial Hero Yang to Great Ming Prefecture safe and sound."

"Young Master Zhang's great kindness today, please allow Yang Zhi to repay it in the future!"

Yang Zhi's heart was filled with gratitude for Zhang Zhang Jie.

He didn't see clearly what Zhang Zhang Jie stuffed into the older Gao Yamen runner's hand,

but he, who had been mixing in Bianliang for many years, knew that besides silver, what else could make these,

Gao Yamen runners who were used to knocking bones and sucking marrow show such a bright smile?

And knowing the unspoken rules of Gao Yamen runners escorting prisoners, he knew that,

if there were no silver given by Zhang Zhang Jie, he would have to suffer a lot on the way.

Counting yesterday, Zhang Zhang Jie had already helped him three times.

As a person who met by chance, Zhang Zhang Jie's move can be said to be benevolent and righteous.

"Go to Great Ming Prefecture and reform well.

By the way, be better to the people under you in the future."

Zhang Zhang Jie patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder and warned.

"Yes."

Although he didn't know the meaning of Zhang Zhang Jie's later sentence,

Yang Zhi, who knew that Zhang Zhang Jie was for his own good, still cupped his hands and responded.

"Young Master Zhang, shall we set off first?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhang Jie had finished speaking, the older Gao Yamen runner asked for instructions.

Zhang Zhang Jie shook his folding fan lightly: "Go, I will treat you to wine when you come back."

"Then this humble old man will wait for the young master's wine."

The older Gao Yamen runner said with a full face of smiles.

The two Gao Yamen runners immediately escorted Yang Zhi away.

'I don't know if Yang Zhi will lose the birthday gift this time?'

Looking at the backs of the three people going away, Zhang Zhang Jie's eyes were deep.

Yang Zhi's choice to take the small road in a low-key manner when escorting the birthday gift was actually not wrong.

After all, Liang Liang Zhongshu's birthday gift last year was sent by military men openly and honestly, and it was robbed.

As for why Liang Liang Zhongshu didn't increase the escort team,

such as sending hundreds of fully armed soldiers to escort, so that bandits like Erlong Mountain,

Taohua Mountain would not dare to act rashly, etc.

This is actually unrealistic.

Liang Liang Zhongshu escorting the birthday gift was to please his father-in-law Cai Jing,

not to handle any important national official business, so it was difficult to mobilize so many soldiers.

As for Cai Jing covering the sky with one hand in the Great Song?

Well, the one covering the sky is Cai Jing, Liang Liang Zhongshu is just his son-in-law.

As a son-in-law who relied almost entirely on Cai Jing to rise to power,

Liang Liang Zhongshu needed to please Cai Jing without a bottom line, but other officials in Great Ming Prefecture didn't need to!

When Liang Liang Zhongshu intended to promote Yang Zhi to be a commander,

there were deputy brand soldiers and his master, the pioneer Suo Chao and others who were unconvinced.

If it weren't for Yang Zhi's martial arts being truly outstanding, and fighting Suo Chao for dozens of rounds without falling behind,

Liang Liang Zhongshu couldn't even finalize a commander's position.

From this, it can be seen that even as the nominal number one in Great Ming Prefecture,

Liang Liang Zhongshu is not someone who can do whatever he wants in Great Ming Prefecture.

Yang Zhi's strategy of packing the gold and silver wealth in baskets, disguising himself as a traveling merchant,

and setting off in a low-key manner is feasible.

And he actually had thoughts along the way,

such as the seemingly unreasonable rest in the cool morning and evening, and rushing on the road when the sun was strong at noon.

This is actually to stagger with those strong people who want to "borrow two coins to spend," and play a time difference.

After all, generally speaking, robbers are also active when it is cool and comfortable.

Yang Zhi failed because his plan was too extreme and he didn't know how to sympathize with his subordinates.

The extreme is that he only brought eleven infantrymen to escort ten loads of birthday gifts.

It is several hundred miles from Great Ming Prefecture to Bianliang, and it is the hot summer,

if these infantrymen have someone who is sick, stumbles and falls,

or gets heatstroke, etc., then who should take their share of the burden?

Yang Zhi himself wants to save energy and be vigilant against the strong people who may appear,

but he can't let the old manager who is over fifty carry the burden, right?

Not sympathizing with subordinates lies in the fact that he scolded the soldiers for being slightly slack,

and if they stopped to rest, he would "scold them lightly, and beat them with rattan sticks heavily."

The two supervisors sent by Liang Liang Zhongshu to supervise him were also often scolded by him, and even scolded as "just like farting."

On the one hand, he never explained why he was rushing and why he was strict;

on the other hand, the soldiers were carrying hundreds of jin of burdens and walking in the heat,

and he didn't sympathize at all, and was complained by the soldiers for "not treating people as people."

He only sought to advance the progress of the task, ignored the needs and emotions of the soldiers,

did not do ideological work, and did not mention the rewards after arriving in Tokyo, leading to the complete intensification of internal contradictions.

When they arrived at Huangni Ridge, the soldiers collectively resisted and no longer listened to his command.

Even the old manager who represented his direct superior Liang Liang Zhongshu counted him.

Finally, the team rested in the pine forest and was taken away by Wu Yong and others who took the opportunity to drug them.

Yang Zhi's behavior is a typical way of wanting the horse to run, but not wanting the horse to eat grass.

With this, he also beat and scolded, implementing an arbitrary and high-pressure rule.

For a person like Yang Zhi, Zhang Zhang Jie dislikes him,

but who made him want to overthrow the Great Song and replace it?

The great man once said, "Politics is to make your own people many, and make the enemy few."

It happened that he met Yang Zhi on the way, testifying for him, and handling the Gao Yamen runners, all of which were things that were beneficial and effortless for Zhang Zhang Jie.

At least he provided Zhang Zhang Jie with a good show of killing Niu Er, didn't he?

It would be natural if Yang Zhi could change after getting the warning.

If he is still the same as before, just stop ignoring him later.

Swish.

Zhang Zhang Jie opened his folding fan and continued to tour Bianliang leisurely.

As for closing the door and studying hard after occasional gatherings like other provincial graduates,

striving to sharpen the gun before the spring examination, even if it's not fast, it's bright?

Zhang Zhang Jie said: The happiness of cheating is something other provincial graduates can't imagine...
