The passenger ship slowly leaned on the wharf of Fengshan Water Gate in Hangzhou City, and then several brocade guards rushed ashore first, and their eyes swept over the bodies of the people waiting on the shore of the wharf, in case there was any accident. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoToday's Yang Zhen is no longer the lowly he was at the beginning, even if he doesn't instruct, the people under him will do their best to ensure his safety.

The ten subordinates who followed Yang Zhen were all extremely outstanding in skill and ability, and their eyesight was also in place, but with a sweep, they found that there were two men in strong suits not far in front of them, looking a little unusual. And when they noticed these two people, the two people also saw them, and when one of them's gaze fell on Yang Zhen's body, his body trembled obviously.

Then the two men hurried up to meet them. Seeing them act like this, several brocade guards were even more shocked, and some of them had even pressed their hands on the weapons on their waists, and once the other party had any misdeeds, they would brazenly attack.

Fortunately, when the two of them came to Yang Zhen and they approached, they had already stood still, and then one of them saluted Yang Zhen with a fist, and even landed on one knee: "I've seen Lord Yang!" As he spoke, his expression was filled with reverence and excitement.

Seeing the other party's appearance like this, and his expression did not seem to be fake, several brocade guards relaxed a little, and at the same time, everyone looked at Yang Zhen behind them. Yang Zhen's expression was also a little stunned at this moment: "Do you recognize me?" ”

"My lord, forgive me, it's that I am too eager to be lowly and have no identity. The humble position is Zhang Zhongshan, the chief banner of the Jinyi Wei Hangzhou Thousand Households, who came here to greet the Lord of the Suppression of the Thousand Households at the order of Zeng Qianhu. As he spoke, he paused again and said, "I was a captain under Tang Qianhu three years ago, and I also followed you on an errand ......."

"Really?" Hearing this, Yang Zhen looked at this person a few times carefully, and felt that he did have some kindness, so he believed in this loyal and kind words, and nodded slightly: "You get up first, you have a heart." This official did not come to Hangzhou on official business this time, and he didn't want to disturb you, but he didn't expect you to wait at the dock early. ”

"My lord is serious, you are our Jinyiwei Zhenfu Adult, your business is our Jinyiwei's business, dare we subordinates not to be dissatisfied?" Zhang Zhongshan responded on the one hand, and flattered the authentic on the other.

Although Yang Zhen felt in advance that he had come to Hangzhou for personal matters, there was no need to alarm the local Jinyi guards, but since everyone was greeted on the dock, he naturally did not blame them. In fact, he also knows very well that with his current status and the prestige he enjoys in Jinyiwei, once these subordinates know that they are coming, they will inevitably be interested in stammering and currying favor. Fortunately, he is not an old-fashioned person, and he is not too resistant to this, since the other party is so face-saving, he simply accepts it.

So, under the leadership of Zhang Zhongshan, Yang Zhen followed the already familiar road and headed towards Jinyiwei's Qianhu in Hangzhou. And because Zhang Zhongshan and the others were originally waiting for Yang Zhen's arrival, they also had a lot of horses on the side, which saved Yang Zhen and the others from having to walk away.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, everyone came to the entrance of the alley where the thousand households were. At this moment, there were already hundreds of men dressed in brocade guards waiting there, and in addition, many surrounding people were also curiously gathered around, looking at this Jinyi Wei Zhenfu from the capital from a distance, with some curiosity and apprehension, to see what he looked like.

Yang Zhen rode his horse first, looking at everything familiar around him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's been three years since I came back, but there has been almost no change in the house and its surroundings. It is still a very magnificent, carved mansion, and there is still a group of capable men in red robes, which is almost no different from when he followed Tang Feng to serve here.

If you leave a place for three years and then go back, I am afraid that everything in your memory will change dramatically. But during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, everything here was almost static, as if he had never left.

When Yang Zhen approached, all the brocade guards had already knelt down in unison: "Knock down to see Lord Zhenfu!" When they spoke, they really touched their heads to the ground, and they seemed extremely sincere.

Yang Zhen was also slightly stunned when he saw it, so he quickly jumped off the horse, helped up the tall man in front and said, "You don't have to be so polite, get up." As he spoke, he glanced at the red-faced man in front of him a few times and said, "You are Zeng Qianhu here, right?" ”

"Xiaguan Hangzhou Thousand Households Zeng Zhitan!" Zeng Qianhu hurriedly reported his name, and then bowed down again and said, "My lord, please sit inside, the humble post has prepared a banquet for you inside." ”

"Oh?" Yang Zhen glanced at the other party thoughtfully. Without knowing when he would come, he was actually preparing for a banquet, apparently always prepared. However, this is also the other party's heart to himself, and he has no intention of blaming, so he strode into the familiar door as he said.

Sure enough, in the hall where I came to Hangzhou for the first time to meet Shen Zhuo of Qianhu at that time, a large round table had been erected, and it was full of all kinds of wine and food. Yang Zhen, who had really not eaten a few good meals along the way, was also polite, and while sitting down by himself, he beckoned everyone to sit down as well. So after some pushing, the Jinyiwei cronies who came with him, as well as Zeng Zhitan and several other high-ranking people in the Thousand Households sat down one after another, and the reception banquet began.

After drinking a few glasses of wine and saying some words, Yang Zhen glanced at Zeng Qianhu with a deep meaning: "Zeng Qianhu, this official is really a little surprised, how did you know that I came to Hangzhou?" I actually sent someone to wait on the dock early. ”

"My lord, forgive me, I didn't mean to inquire about your behavior." Zeng Zhitan first excused himself, and then continued to explain: "My lord is a person who everyone admires in my Jinyi Guard, and the lowly position is especially respectful to you, and it happens that there is a former friend of the lowly in the capital who is on an errand in the Zhenfu Division, so he ......"

Yang Zhen smiled with relief after hearing this. Indeed, if a Zhenfu lord with real power like himself wants to go to a foreign place to do errands, it will inevitably make people feel that it is a good opportunity to stammer, and they will try their best to inquire about their whereabouts. It was only then that he felt that his current self was different from what he had done in the past, and it seemed that he would have to pay more attention to what he would do in the future.

Later, in order to prove that what he said was true, Zeng Qianhu also said a lot of flattering words during the banquet, mentioning Yang Zhen's several exploits in Hangzhou, as well as various methods in the capital, and sighed a few words deliberately. These words naturally aroused a burst of admiration and stammering from other people, and Yang Zhen was a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Actually, in fact, what I admire most about my humble position is the recent removal of a power supervisor like Feng Bao. I think that although my Jinyiwei is older than the East Factory, I have been suppressed by them, and I haven't completely silenced the East Factory as recently as I have done recently. It's the eunuchs here in Hangzhou who have been much more low-key recently, and they don't dare to point fingers at our brothers in Jinyiwei anymore. At the end, Zeng Zhitan summed it up again.

"Lord Qianhu is right, we always had to suffer some anger from the town guard eunuch before-we can't compare to the spirit of Lord Zhenfu when he was in Hangzhou, and even the town guard eunuch was convicted because of you - but since this year, they have been much more peaceful, except for their own errands, no one dares to come out and call us around. This alone has made the inferior class deeply moved. The hundreds of households here in Hangzhou also toasted with wine glasses.

Yang Zhen took a sip of wine before he said with a smile: "Actually, I said a long time ago, our Jinyi Wei has never been designated as a subordinate of any yamen, whether it is Dongchang or other yamen, as long as we stand upright, there is no need to be afraid of them, let alone grovel to these guys and obey their dispatch." This time, if you can do this by me to crack down on the East Factory, it will be normal in the future. ”

"Yes! The lowly rank must abide by the teachings of the adults and not fall into the majesty of my brocade guard! A group of subordinates hurriedly responded solemnly.

"Well, I'm not here today because of official business, so you don't have to be so nervous." Yang Zhen drank all the wine in the cup with a smile, and continued: "Also, although you treat me like this out of respect for me, I don't want to pay much attention to your business this time, after all, I have been on leave with Your Majesty for half a year. So if you have any official business, you just have to make your own decisions, and if you can't make a decision, please ask the Suppression Division, and don't come if you can not disturb me, understand? ”

Zeng Zhitan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly nodded clearly: "I understand." The adults are here for the marriage event, and the subordinates are really not good to disturb the adults too much! After a pause, he added: "But there is one thing that please don't shirk your lordship, and the lowly post has prepared a place for the adults to live." ”

Yang Zhen didn't mean to excuse himself, and nodded with a chuckle: "Thank you Zeng Qianhu for that." ”

When the reception banquet was over, when Yang Zhen was personally led by Zeng Zhitan to the place where they were staying, he was still slightly stunned. Because this mansion is not too big and not luxurious, it is exactly the courtyard that he and Tang Feng and the others rented at the beginning. I didn't expect the other party to even take this into account, obviously with some thought.

When he walked into the bedroom where he had lived for a while three years ago, and looked at the house that had hardly changed, Yang Zhen's heart was even more sighing. It's been three years, and nothing seems to have changed, except for the people. Tang Feng, who brought himself into Jinyiwei at the beginning, is long gone, and the original brothers also have different choices......

Things are wrong, and I can't help but sigh......
