He Jin suddenly felt a little guilty when he kicked open the door of Zhang Cai's family. Because he saw that the family of this famous treacherous minister was really shabby.

There is only one well in the narrow courtyard, and three dilapidated tiled houses. It seems that water leakage will appear on rainy days. There is a clothes drying rack among the two old trees, and the court clothes hanging on it are floating.

A man in his thirties sat on a creaking rattan chair, with a tea cup beside his hand, and only wore a mid-lane underwear. It was obvious that the court suit was just washed by him...

But the next moment, He Jin became angry again.

Because Zhang Cai is very upright and handsome, and fair and clean. Even though he is dressed a little embarrassed at this time, his posture of holding books and drinking tea made him taste very elegant.

He Jin was a little disbelief. In Zhang Cai's surprised gaze, he picked up the cup of tea that he had not yet drunk and drank it a small sip. Then his face twisted and he vomited all of it: "What kind of tea is this? Why is it so unpalatable?"

"The kind in the teahouse costs five cents a big bag." Zhang Cai looked at the door that was kicked and the vicious followers behind He Jin, but he had not yet reacted.

Then, He Jin sighed and no longer had the intention of finding fault. He poured another cup for Liu Huoer and said, "Huoer, come and try..."

Liu Huoer didn't know what He Jin meant, but he took it and took a sip. But his reaction was the same as He Jin. His expression was distorted, and then he spit out in one sip: "Is this for people to drink? The old servant in my house guarding the door would not drink such bitter medicine soup..."

Zhang Cai's face turned blue: I don't know where a group of lunatics came from. Not only did they kick the door of their home, but they also buryed themselves in front of them.

Unexpectedly, He Jin sighed in pain again at this time and said to the people behind him: "We are all floating... I remember when I was in Cizhou, let alone the elegant things like drinking tea."

"It's just that Mr. Zhang from Yaqian Street gave me a piece of sesame cake, and he had no vegetables to eat. But now, look at us...ah! It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Before we knew it, we have lived as the kind of person we once hated the most."

After saying this, his subordinates immediately became sweet and sad, and his expression was very embarrassed.

But Zhang Cai's face turned from blue to black: Are you regretting? You are completely showing off your wealth!

It's too shocking.

But at the same time, he understood who the visitor was. After all, the two keywords of "Cizhou" and "Yaqian Street" were all out. With Zhang Cai's intelligence, it was so strange.

He Jin was waiting for this moment, and was looking forward to seeing Zhang Cai’s next reaction.

But what disappointed him was that Zhang Cai was not panicked at all, but instead stood up politely and said, "The official has met Mr. He. The humble house is so ugly that it makes the adults laugh."

He Jin then looked Zhang Cai up and down, left and right again, and even reached out to pull the other person's mouth, looking at his teeth like buying a big animal at the market.

Not to mention this kind of behavior in the group of literati and civil servants, even among ordinary people, they slapped them. But Zhang Cai was not surprised by the praises and disgraces, and still kept a smile and let He Jin check.

One was rude and the other smiled, and the scene gradually became weird.

Fortunately, after He Jin finished the inspection, he nodded and showed a satisfied smile. Then he glanced at the teacup on the table hit by the broken wooden stake, and signaled to the two followers behind him.

Soon, one of the two entourages bought a bag of tea, while the other brought Zhang Tanmu chair directly. Zhang Cai seemed to be shocked by this kind of decent aura, and then he reacted for a moment before he brought a pot of hot water over.

Then he took out a tea cup and prepared tea for He Jin. But as soon as the tea cup was put on the table, the follower threw it away and took out a brand new purple clay tea set to make tea for He Jin.

A series of actions were so deceptive. Zhang Cai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but it still didn't happen.

He Jin held the teacup and savored it casually, turned to look at Zhang Cai, and said in a shocking voice: "Master Zhang, if I guessed it well, you have already predicted that I would visit you, right? It can even be said that this conspiracy from beginning to end was to attract my attention?"

Zhang Cai held the teacup and shook it, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth became much calmer: "Oh?...Why did Lord He say this? You are a slander who everyone hates in the court. You are undoubtedly a person in the clear stream. Since ancient times, the clear stream is different..."

As soon as he said this, He Jin interrupted: "Zhang Cai, whose courtesy name is Shangzhi, is from Anding. He passed the second year of Hongzhi, and the next year he was able to pass the imperial examination for 69 people. He was first appointed as the head of the Ministry of Personnel. He became an official in the court and became a magnificent official. He was arrogant and supreme. Then..."

Speaking of this, he laughed leisurely and continued to say sarcastically: "Then, you will not be able to do it... Since the third year of Hongzhi, I have left the two years of observing politics in the middle, which means that after the nine-year period, you have never been promoted to a position except for the promotion of all officials in the court!"

"If I didn't show up, I'm afraid your ambitious heart would be able to settle down. After all, the political vortex in the capital is like this, and everyone survives it."

"But I'm different. A little scholar has reached the top in one year after entering Beijing and has been promoted step by step. Now he is even better than a pride of emperor like you, and has become a higher than the official......"

Speaking of this, He Jin turned his head again, patted Zhang Cai's face and asked, "This reality is in front of you. Do you think you are willing? How can you not feel itchy?"

"More importantly, you also found that I am not only good at official positions. The nobles and royal relatives in the court were all rushed to maintain it. The cabinet bosses and top ministers also had a close relationship with me."

"If you are a mediocre person, it's fine, but you are quick-witted and scheming, you will inevitably think, why is the gap so big for the same smart person?"

Faced with He Jin's rude humiliation, Zhang Cai finally changed color, suddenly stood up and put the teacup heavily and said, "Mr. He, you!"

Such a sudden action immediately caused the followers to take action. But He Jin didn't even raise his eyelids, and even gave a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this subtle change, Zhang Cai suddenly laughed and said, "What lord said is nothing wrong."

Next, a scene that made the followers even more stunned appeared.

Zhang Cai's expression became more humble and respectful, and continued, "But I have to admit that the next plan has indeed been successful. If not, how could the adults be condescending to the nobles and come to the humble house to say such things?"

Now He Jin couldn't help laughing, and there seemed to be a bit sincere in his enthusiasm: "But I'm also very curious. What's your goal when you tried so much to trick me into?"

Zhang Cai looked confident and talked freely: "Adults are resourceful, and everything they do is a major event that is earth-shaking. Especially by means of trade, they can quell the border troubles. Their achievements for thousands of years are even better than those of Yu Shaobao, who turned the tide back then."

"However, after all, the foundation of the adults entering the capital is shallow, and only rely on the nobles, dukes, royal relatives and other relatives can't do the best. In my opinion, the adults need to win over some like-minded and outstanding people to achieve unprecedented careers and leave their reputation in history!"

He Jin smiled even more enthusiastically and said, "You are right. A fence requires three stakes, and a hero needs three help."

"This time, the Ming Dynasty will open the important towns on the nine sides, and Xuanfu Town, which is closest to the capital and will be the most prosperous trade, will add the position of Uilang, the Secretary of the Mutual Market. In this regard, I can still say something."

Zhang Cai was very tactful and quickly said, "I wish you can share your worries!"

"Well, you are very good, I like you very much..."

He Jin then smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Cai. Zhang Cai was even more pleased and looked at each other affectionately... The treacherous smiles made the followers beside him tremble.

But just as the two hands were about to touch each other, He Jin's face suddenly changed.

He grabbed Zhang Cai and slapped it on the ground, stepped on it and kicked it and scolded: "You dare to be foolish with me at this time, and you really think of me as those Qingliu fools?"

"Help them frame me. When things are done, they will go on a clear career and win both fame and fortune. If things fail, they will say that they are to attract my attention and win both fame and fortune! ... Bet on both ends, you will not lose any one. The abacus is very good!"

Zhang Cai, who was beaten to the point of no fight back, quickly hugged his head and asked cryingly, "Sir, can you be wrong with what the subordinates do? Will any mediocre and incompetent person join you? "

"Of course it's right, on the contrary, I appreciate your little tricks. Moreover, if you accept such a vicious subordinate, you will save a lot of effort in doing some dirty work in the future."

"Why do you want it even if you want it?"

"Because I also know that people like you are not well-versed. You have to use them and be careful. From time to time, you have to show off some good looks. Now let you know my temper!"
