    Zhao Shouzheng took it and looked at the envelope, and couldn't help but said happily: "It's a letter from my old nephew. Has he settled down in Beijing?"

    "Father, it's up to you." Zhao Hao looked at the scenery outside the window and felt that Jinling City was really a geomantic treasure land. It was very popular with me. It was really popular with me Originally, he was going to spend a lot of effort to convince the magistrate Zhang.  But this letter from Beijing relieved him of the trouble.

    "Oh" Zhao Shouzheng responded, took out the letter paper and read it, and immediately exclaimed: "What? Before he arrived in Shandong, he received the decree and was promoted to Taichang Shaoqing. When he arrived in Beijing, he had not yet taken office.  Promoted to Guanglu Qing? How many levels have you been promoted in a row?!"

    "From the seventh-grade censor to Guanglu Qing, I have been promoted seven levels in a row." Zhao Hao replied with a smile.

    Guangluqing was ranked as Xiaojiuqing, and he was already a third-rank imperial official, marking Zhao Jin's official entry into the ranks of top officials.

    This terrifying promotion speed has clearly told the Ming Dynasty that Zhao Jin will be put to great use - the next step is to either join the Sixth Ministry as a minister, or be released as a governor of a province!

    "Moreover, Zhao Jinneng was promoted so quickly. It is obvious that those people of the same age, especially Wang Bengu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, made great efforts.

    How could those idle officials from Nanjing¡¯s Ministry of Revenue offend the dignitaries of the day for the sake of a small pawnshop owner?

    "Oh, I thought my son had another clever plan, but it turns out he was just bullying people." Zhao Shouzheng carefully put the letter away and said happily: "I can do this too."

    "Father, as a civil servant, it's better to avoid suspicion." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't go to the Yamen all the time. People will say you are taking over the lawsuit."

    "Oh, that makes sense. Then my father went to have a drink with Tong Nian." Zhao Shouzheng had a temperament that did more things than did less. Hearing this, he was just happy to be lazy.

    The carriage stopped at the side of the road. Zhao Shouzheng got out of the carriage, got into his sedan chair, and headed towards the Qinhuai River.

    Zhao Hao kept his word. On the day Zhao Shouzheng was elected, he was assigned a sedan chair and a bearer, plus an umbrella bearer and a long attendant, as well as four bodyguards. A total of eight people followed him, which was dignified and safe.  There is no need for Zhao Hao to worry.

    Huh?  Is it eight people?  Why do I always feel like someone is missing

    ??~~

    Shangyuan County Government.

    Magistrate Zhang had no office today. He was wearing a brocade robe and lying on the Arhat bed, enjoying the massage from Concubine No. 1 with his eyes slightly closed.

    Concubine No. 2 was holding a purple clay pot and feeding him tea from time to time.

    The magistrate is enjoying the blessings of his people, and that annoying disciple is making noise again.

    "Sir, a guest has sent me a message."

    "Didn't I tell you that the master is not feeling well today and will not see guests?" Concubine No. 1 said dissatisfied.

    "Alas, our Shangyuan County Magistrate is just a maid." Zhang Zhixian raised his eyelids and motioned to Concubine No. 2 to take the invitation and see who it was.

    He is now dim-sighted, and his second concubine still acts as a secretary.  She took the invitation and glanced at it, saying disdainfully: "He's just a supervisor named Zhao Hao, how dare you bother me!"

    As she said that, she was about to throw the greeting card to the disciple.

    However, Zhang Zhixian suddenly sat up and caught the greeting card flying in the air with both hands.

    "You can't do it. You can't do it." Zhang Zhixian held the greeting card and held it carefully in his hand and said: "This supervisor is not that supervisor. He is the kind of supervisor who cannot be messed with."

    "Could it be Yin Sheng?" Concubine No. 2 knows a little about officialdom and knows that the son of a high-ranking official can favor Yin to study in prison.

    "Absolutely." Zhang Zhixian said in his heart that although he was not a high-ranking official, he was now the younger brother of a high-ranking official and could not be offended.  After saying that, he hurriedly stood up and asked his disciples to invite Zhao Hao for tea at the Flower Hall, while he hurriedly changed his clothes to meet the guests under the service of his concubine.

    ??~~

    It was the same as last time in the flower hall, when Zhao Hao came alone, but Zhang Zhixian became more and more enthusiastic.

    "Oh, what kind of wind has brought friend Zhao here again." Zhang Zhixian's smile still contained a flattering look, and he obviously knew about Zhao Jin.  "I was planning to pay a visit these days, but I didn't expect that my friend Zhao came first. It's really disrespectful."

    "Senior is too polite." As soon as Zhao Hao saw his attitude, he knew that the other party already knew about Zhao Jin.

    Can Zhang Zhixian not know?  Zhao Jin was promoted to seven levels in a row, which was already big news that shocked both the government and the public.  He was extremely lucky to have stepped back from the brink that day and not ruined his relationship with the Zhao family.  Otherwise, if Zhao Jin casually said hello to Wang Shaozhongzai at this time, he might be transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou to be the county magistrate

    I can¡¯t afford to offend him, I really can¡¯t afford to offend him.

    After a burst of flattery that made people blush, Zhang Zhixian asked about Zhao Hao¡¯s purpose.

    "Hey, I'm here to ask my parents to make the decision." Zhao HaoAfter saying that, he told the story about what happened with Deheng, and naturally concealed the part about writing with squid ink.

    "This is really unreasonable. Is there such a thing as a king's law?" Zhang Zhixian slammed the table and said, "How dare you blatantly steal the secret recipe? I think his shabby pawn shop has come to an end!"

    With that said, he called his friend who signed the ticket, ordered him to open the ticket card, sent officers to seize Dehengdang, and arrested Zhang Yuanwai and Chaofeng for trial.

    "Dong Weng." The friend thought that he had committed the habit of flattering superiors and bullying subordinates again, so he had to remind him in a low voice: "Zhang Yuanwai, like Liu Yuanwai, is a righteous official and cannot be arrested. Moreover, Deheng should have the shares of Mr. Nan Hube."  , it cannot be seized."

    "You do what I tell you to do!" Zhang Zhixian glared at him and said, "No matter what background he has, he can't stop me from making decisions for the people!"

    Seeing Dong Weng¡¯s righteous words, the screen friend finally realized that he was just putting on a show, and hurriedly responded by giving him a slap in the face: ¡°It¡¯s the student who talks too much, I¡¯m going to issue a ticket and get him!¡±

    "Well, go ahead, don't have any scruples. If the sky falls, this county will bear it." Zhang Zhixian pretended to be pretentious. After the friend left, he asked Zhao Hao: "I don't know, friend Zhao, what result do you want?"

    "It is clearly written on the pawn ticket that the compensation is ten times as per the industry regulations." Zhao Hao then said calmly: "At the beginning, he priced the price at 2,500 taels of silver, but now he wants to compensate me ten times, which is 25,000 taels.  "

    "This, I'm afraid it's not easy" Zhang Zhixian rubbed his hands subconsciously, but suddenly stopped and said: "You also heard just now that the person named Zhang has a sixth-grade crown and belt. Although he is a righteous officer,  But to be more serious, I still have to call him Shangguan. Besides, he has a close connection with the people in Nanhube, and I heard that many officials were cheating on him in his pawn shop. I was really worried, Zhao friends and his son  I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to suppress him.¡±

    "Challenge this young master, does he have the strength?" Zhao Hao lifted the hem of his brocade robe with both hands and crossed his legs.

    This is what he has always wanted to say but was not qualified to say, and now he can finally say it.

    "Of course, friend Zhao's two students, one is Jie Yuan and the other is Ya Yuan, and they are both young masters. The relationship between Beijing and Li is also very difficult. If we fight head-on, Zhang Yuanwai will definitely not be able to fight." Zhang Zhixian advised earnestly:  "But as the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will suffer eight hundred losses. It's not worth fighting to the death just for the sake of a little feud."

    "What do you mean, old parents?" Zhao Hao asked quietly.

    "Of course Brother Yu is for friend Zhao. I just advise you to give in a little bit and don't force him to jump over the wall." Zhang Zhixian was afraid that Zhao Hao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained and then suggested:

    "How about giving him a discount?"
