In a study room in the backyard of the county government, a middle-aged man in his forties is engrossed in practicing calligraphy there, this person is Yan Zibin, the commander of Mizhi County, this person is very tall, but his physique is thin, giving people a feeling of weakness, although so, he looks good, with a boxy face, two mustaches, and a goatee on his chin that is more than four inches long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this era, Yan Zibin's image is a standard handsome guy image, it is precisely because he is handsome, Yan Zibin was appointed as an official soon after becoming a jinshi, this is not a joke, in Daming, if it is not good-looking, it is detrimental to the dignity of the court, so ugly-looking people, even if they are jinshi, they basically can't be officials.

Practicing calligraphy every day, this is Yan Zibin's habit of thunder, intoxicated with the fun of calligraphy every day, so that Yan Zibin writes a good hand, many of the same year are envious of tight, every time he sees the envious eyes of his friends, Yan Zibin is particularly comfortable.

Not far from Yan Zibin, there is a person of a similar age, this person is Yan Zibin's chief master Zhang Rongxing, who has followed Yan Zibin for many years and has always been very trusted.

They are not interested in anything else, and they don't dare to waste their time studying elsewhere, so as soon as they become officials, the first thing they do is to find a staff member for themselves, that is, the master, and let him help them take care of things, so the master has a very high status in the yamen.

After Yan Zibin finished writing a word, he put down the brush in his hand with satisfaction, picked up the word and looked at it carefully, it seemed that the writing was good, he couldn't help but nodded, and Zhang Rongxing next to him also came over to watch,

Then he said praisefully: "The proprietor's words are becoming more and more of a person's style, and over time, I will be able to become my master of Ming calligraphy, even if it is a school of its own, it is not known." ”

After hearing this, Yan Zibin laughed happily, calligraphy is Yan Zibin's greatest pride, how can he not be happy when he hears others praise! Then, Yan Zibin said modestly: "Mr. loves me too much, the road of calligraphy will never end, I still practice more every day, and I dare not slack off." ”

Zhang Rongxing saw that Yan Zibin was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say: "The proprietor, the big boss of the old ghost gang came to the yamen today, and he actually brought the head of the bandit Fire Dragon King and others. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zibin was first overjoyed, and then couldn't help sighing, shook his head slightly, and said, "Promotion? I think that my Yan Zibin is full of talent and learning, but there is no one in the court, even if there are some merits, it is in vain, otherwise, how can I not see grace in this poor place, just don't get promoted, so as not to get involved in the battle of the court bosses. ”

After Yan Zibin finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of a few years of the same year, they were all family forces, and after winning the Jinshi, they were all the way to the official fortune, and after they got married to Wei Zhongxian, it was even more like the sky, all of them were in a high position, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

I only hate myself for having no money, and I have no connections, plus the literati's natural sense of superiority, I look down on Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch, so I didn't have the cheekiness to find a way to the same year, and An An was a parent official in a small place.

How do you know that the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, was uprooted, and those who had a relationship with Wei Zhongxian were all killed heads, and they were copied from their homes, and the same was true for those who were in the same year.

At this time, Yan Zibin couldn't help but be glad, the petty officials are good with the petty officials, so from that time, Yan Zibin was desperate to do anything, everything was natural, but according to Yan Zibin's family power, it was basically hopeless to have a good future.

When Zhang Rongxing saw his appearance, he naturally knew his thoughts, thought about it, took out a small wooden box from his waist, and said: "The proprietor, this is given to the proprietor by the old ghost gang leader, and the proprietor is invited to take a look." ”

Yan Zibin put down the words in his hand, took the wooden box and looked at it, only to see that there was a string of pearls of the same size, snow-white and snow-white, Yan Zibin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take out the pearls in his hand and taste them, the feel was excellent, and it was really a good jewelry.

What Yan Zibin didn't know was that there were two strings of pearls specially selected by Wanhua in this wooden box, Zhao Xiangen handed over the wooden box to Zhang Rongxing, Zhang Rongxing saw that the pearls were good, so he secretly left a string, and he left a relatively large string, and the small one was taken out and given to Yan Zibin.

Yan Zibin looked happy and said: "Not bad, it feels very good, but it's a pity that my wife is gone, otherwise, my wife will be happy." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Zibin's face showed a trace of sadness, Zhang Rongxing was also a little sad for Yan Zibin after seeing it, and couldn't help but explain: "The proprietor is not too sad, and the wife is also peaceful when she leaves, and I hope the proprietor will see it." ”

Yan Zibin smiled slightly, and then showed a hint of unhappiness, and said, "Did that husband only give this string of beads to the official?" ”

Zhang Rongxing's face was suddenly flustered, but his years of life experience made him quickly calm down, and he replied calmly: "Back to the owner, the person gave this string of jewelry and left, but he didn't send anything else." ”

When Yan Zibin heard this, he snorted, and then said unhappily: "That Fire Dragon King has been a bandit for many years, and he must have a lot of money and jewelry. ”

This is really wronged Wanhua, after seizing the treasure of the Fire Dragon King, Wanhua has already sent silver to the county government once under the reminder of Lao Tan, and there is a lot of silver, and everyone in the county government has a share.

Zhang Rongxing thought for a while, and reminded him: "The proprietor may have forgotten that the horseman had already sent someone to deliver the silver the day before yesterday. ”

Yan Zibin smiled disdainfully and said, "Just that bit of silver is usually enough, but the Fire Dragon King is not ordinary, thinking that the gold, silver and jewelry are all piled up, this bit of silver is embarrassed to take it out!" ”

Zhang Rongxing saw him like this, and it was not good to say anything, he was still thinking about being entrusted by others and being loyal to others, but now he doesn't know how to speak, don't say it, after all, he took other people's money, let's say it, and it may anger Yan Zibin, although Yan Zibin will not embarrass him, but after all, it will affect the relationship.
