Chapter 121 The days are long... (Here we come!)

The next day he got up early to follow his eldest and second brothers to Taixue to grab a meal of Taixue steamed buns.

The eldest brother and the second brother made an appointment to wait for him at the gate of Taixue.

Zhang Heng's little donkey cart staggered to the gate of Taixue. From a distance, he saw a very luxurious carriage at the gate of Taixue. The cart was pulled by a tall and handsome horse. The little female donkey was about to go up. Minato, he looks like an ignorant girl who has met her idol.

This caught Zhang Heng off guard and he quickly whipped the little female donkey twice. The little female donkey turned back to look at him dissatisfied.

Zhang Heng sneered disdainfully: "I don't know what kind of coquettish thing that coquettish guy is here to show off. This is the Imperial Academy, not a brothel!"

The people in the big carriage heard the sound and opened the curtains. A strong fragrance overflowed and almost inhaled Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng took a closer look, hey, isn't this my second brother?

Zhang Shu opened the car curtain, jumped out of the car, opened his hands, and asked very coolly: "Third brother, how do I feel about my outfit?"

Zhang Heng glanced at it and realized that it was autumn, so he was dressed in mink, with flowers on his hair, powder on his face, and red lips.

Zhang Heng: "..."

Zhang Shu said proudly: "Aren't you particularly graceful and generous? Hey, living a life of wealth is comfortable. Look at it..."

He patted the carriage and turned around again, showing off his fine clothes.

"...A handsome carriage, elegant and luxurious clothes, hairpins and powder, which are the most popular styles among Bianjing youths at the moment. How about it? Do you, my second brother, make me coquettish?"

Zhang Heng gave a thumbs up: "Shao! But, where is the eldest brother?"

Zhang Shu was immediately annoyed: "I'm talking to you, what are you doing, brother? Look at this tall carriage. The second brother specially picked it for you. This horse is a good horse. It was brought from the west. And this carriage is specially made for you." The customized carriage may not look luxurious on the outside, but it’s even more luxurious on the inside, hahahaha!

I know you are afraid of the cold in winter, so it is equipped with a heater, a hand warmer, sealed, and covered with several layers of mink fur. It is quite comfortable to sit on. You have to take the girl from the brothel with you, even if you want to go to heaven..."

Zhang Heng chuckled, feeling excited when he heard it. Anyway, he couldn't tell where he was from when he spoke here. He only had two sentences to speak, but then his expression became solemn: "Second brother, I'm not telling you..."

Zhang Shu squeaked and ran into the car, saying hurriedly: "You traitor! I'm leaving, and I won't eat any steamed buns!"

He quickly waved his whip, and the handsome horse immediately neighed and kicked its hooves with force, but the carriage did not move at all.

Zhang Shu let out a sigh, looked over, and saw his eldest brother Zhang Jin holding a carriage with one hand. His muscles were bulging under his scribe's uniform, but he had a smile on his face, and his smile was very kind.

Zhang Shu suddenly felt numb for a long time and fell softly on the carriage with a groan.

Zhang Jun chuckled and said to Zhang Heng, "Third brother, come here and hold the horse."

Then he rushed into the carriage, and Zhang Shu's moans suddenly came from inside.

Zhang Heng leaned beside the carriage and exclaimed: "It really has reached the sky!"

Zhang Xun's voice came: "...I told you not to study well. I told you not to study well. If you have a little money, you will be frivolous. You dress in such a slutty way that you look like a prostitute. You even poked at your own brother to go to a brothel!... "

Zhang Heng clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Brother, you have to focus on where you start. The second sister-in-law will know about this sooner or later. If you don't break one of the second brother's legs, the second sister-in-law will probably do it too, and you will beat me to death!"

Zhang Shu's wailing voice came out: "Zhang Laosan, you ungrateful bitch, I prepared such good things for you, but you actually betrayed me, betrayed me!"

Zhang Heng chuckled and waited until the time was almost up before saying: "Brother, it's almost time. The cafeteria is about to open."

Zhang Shu let out another scream, and then Zhang Jun straightened his clothes, his handsome face flushed, and his whole body exuded joy. He sighed with Zhang Heng: "Second brother is a good man. He knows that I will be broken if I don't make a move for a long time." Come on, no, he is delivered to your door, this is a good brother."

Zhang Shu leaned against the carriage door with a look of despair.

The three brothers arrived early and were still at the front. As soon as the door opened, they rushed inside. Zhang Heng stood on the window and shouted to the old woman in the cafeteria: "Little lady, give me a big basket of steamed buns!"

The old woman's face suddenly bloomed with surprise, and she said coquettishly: "What a little lady, you are so young, why don't your eyes look so good? I am already an old woman!"

Zhang Heng said flatly: "Impossible, I have such good eyesight that I can see sparrows pecking at grains of rice five miles away. I am known as the Third Eye of God. You little lady, please don't ruin my reputation!"

The old woman directly brought down the two large dumplings and handed them to Zhang Heng. Zhang Jun hurried over to catch them. When the old woman saw Zhang Heng, she exclaimed: "I told you who has such a sweet mouth. It turns out to be Zhang Sanyuan." Hahahaha! You still have vision!"

Zhang Heng grinned and went to eat Taixue steamed buns with his two brothers.

Someone behind me followed suit: "Little lady, I also want a cage..."

"Are you blind? Are you blind? I am already sixty-two, and you call me a little lady. How do you call me your mother?"

"..."

Zhang Heng almost laughed. There were many sad eyes on Zhang Heng, but because of Zhang Jun's burly figure, no one dared to fart.

Zhang Heng ate a full four face-sized steamed buns, stuffing himself until he was full and burping again and again, and lamented: "I'm so old, I only eat four steamed buns, alas!"

It was getting late, Zhang Heng said goodbye to his two brothers, and then drove the donkey cart to Kaifeng Mansion Office to go to work. The confusion from last night had long disappeared.

No matter what, Taixue steamed buns are always delicious, right?

Especially free ones.

Zhang Heng came to the Kaifeng government office, and his disciples were very happy to see him: "Zhang Heng, you are finally back."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Why, is there something good waiting for me?"

Menzi grinned: "It's the greatest good thing that you come back."

Zhang Heng laughed and said: "I accept your good advice!"

Zhang Heng laughed and entered the government office. His laughter aroused the peeps of many people. Immediately, many people walked out of the door and held hands with him from a distance: "Zhang Qianfan, you are finally back."

Zhang Heng also raised his hand to return the gift, thinking that it was nothing serious. He just went on a business trip for a little longer, and then came back to hide at home for a few days.

When I returned to my court, I got the answer from the junior official Caring. The junior official was almost crying with joy: "Sir, it would be great if you came back. It would be great if you came back!"

Zhang Heng looked at the clerk in front of him and was speechless: "Are you too excited? Nothing happened!"

Caring blew his nose and said: "You don't know if you are not in the government office. This period of time can be regarded as a storm. First, people from Yushitai came, and then people from Jianyuan also came. There was a storm. How big!

You and Bao Tongpan were not here before, and the magistrate refused to let them in when they came. But these days, Bao Tongpan came back, and they just barged in to arrest people. The situation is very critical.

If it hadn't been for Magistrate Wu's intimidation, I'm afraid Mr. Bao would have been captured!

When I saw that you didn't come back, I thought you were invited away by the people from Yushitai.

During your business trip, there were various rumors, saying that you had been corrupt and accepting bribes, some imperial officials were impeaching you, some were saying that you allowed the envoys to compete for profits with the people, and some even said that you were raising a thin horse in Yangzhou.

What's even more outrageous is that you raped women on the street..."

Zhang Heng: "..."

I asked why those colleagues were handing over to me at the door. It turned out they were congratulating me on my return. Bah! I have never left!

Caring said happily: "It's okay now. Although Bao Tongpan has been dismissed from his post, at least you are fine. This is the blessing among misfortunes."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I'm fine, but why are you so excited?"

Someone outside laughed and said: "He doesn't care about you, he cares about his own future!"

Chen Ding, an old official, came in from outside and said with a smile: "President Zhang Qian, I didn't eavesdrop on what you were saying. I just happened to hear it when I walked to the door. Your Majesty, please come over."

The concern suddenly seemed as if he had been wronged: "Brother Chen, I don't like to hear what you say. Why do you mean that I only care about my own future? I care about Mr. Qian!..."

Chen Ding chuckled: "You are just worried that you will be implicated by Zhang Qianpan. No one will dare to use you in the future. With such little thought, do you need to guess too much?"

Caring was so angry that his face turned red: "Why am I such a person? Qian Fan treats me very well. No one has ever been so kind to me. He always talks to me in a gentle voice and never scolds me." , never hit me!

I care about people and repay kindness. The people from Yushitai came to me, first with threats, and then with inducements. They asked me to frame him for a full twenty thousand dollars. I just shut up and didn't say a word. Ken Duo said that! How dare you accuse me so unjustly!..."

Zhang Heng frowned: "Someone is forcing you to give false evidence to frame me?"

Caring nodded and said: "Yes, but the villain didn't say anything!"

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Well, I believe you. You can talk to me in detail when you come back. Old Chen, let's go."

Following Chen Ding to the design hall, Wu Yu saw Zhang Heng and said happily: "Here?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Yes, here we come."

Chen Ding left quietly.

Wu Yu said with emotion: "How about it, you understand that things are difficult to do, right?"

Zhang Heng grinned: "Yes, I understand, but there are some things you don't know. Bao Tong will be appointed as Yu Shilixing in a while."

"Huh?" Wu Yu looked at Zhang Heng in surprise.

Then Zhang Heng said again: "My teacher has been added as a bachelor of Duanming Palace and knows Zhengzhou."

Wu Yu's eyes widened.

Zhang Heng grinned: "It's hard to do, but the rewards are high."

Wu Yu's face was distorted: "I've helped you with your work, why don't you take part in it?"

Jealousy distorts people's appearance.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Why not? You have gained my respect!"

Wu Yu: "..."

Zhang Heng hurriedly explained: "You don't need this. Kaifeng Magistrate's job is only for one year. You can just wait to join the center. Don't care about such a small achievement."

Wu Yu said with disdain: "Do you really think that after becoming the prefect of Kaifeng, you will definitely be able to enter the central government? Haha, then you are too naive.

The position of Kaifeng magistrate never lasted more than two years. Some were replaced in half a year, some stayed for a year, some lasted for one and a half years, and those who lasted two years were rare.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been at least a hundred prefects in Kaifeng. Among these hundreds of prefects in Kaifeng, how many of them do you think can become prime ministers?"
