Later, Lanxiang met Zhang Jing again. Zhang Jing was fascinated by Lanxiang and was also moved to redeem Lanxiang. Lanxiang and Zhang Pingyi decided that Zhang Jing might be able to afford the money, so the two came up with a plan. Lanxiang did not take medicine for a while, but it turned out to be a child. Then Lanxiang told the madam about her pregnancy. The madam was afraid of losing all her money, so she lowered the price to 1,000 yuan to let Zhang Jing redeem her. This led to Xiao Jiu mediating the successful redeem of Lanxiang. Lanxiang naturally became Zhang Jing's concubine, and from then on, he often had a private meeting with Zhang Ping. Today, Zhang Jing came back early, and he caught Zhang Ping in a hurry. Zhang Ping fled in a hurry, thinking that he could not stay at home, so he went out to hide for two days.

Zhang Ping came directly to Shangpinxuan, which is a place where their friends often come and gather. Here, Zhang Ping has also strengthened many wealthy figures with great reputation in Peking.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang." As soon as Zhang Ping entered Shangpinxuan, someone called him from the second floor.

Zhang Ping looked up and saw that the person calling was his friend He Kui. He Kui was a famous wanderer in Peking. His father He Zudao was a famous wealthy businessman in Peking. His family runs four large businesses and sells cloth and herbs very much. Therefore, He Kui has always been generous in spending money and often invites Zhang Ping and others to have dinner and drink.

When Zhang Ping saw He Kui, he quickly went up to the second floor with a smile: "Brother He, it's such a coincidence. You and I really have a connection." Zhang Ping smiled and couldn't see the frustration of running away like a stray dog.

He Kui smiled and introduced a middle-aged man beside him: "Brother Zhang, this is Brother Zhao, and I just made friends. Let's have more contact in the future."

The person surnamed Zhao quickly smiled and held Zhang Ping's hand: "This is Brother Zhang Shi. I have heard of it for a long time. I am so honored to see you today. Zhao Shi, I am here today. Please be a member of my family. Brother Zhang must appreciate you."

When Zhang Ping heard someone treating him, he was naturally happy, but he still said, "I asked Brother Zhao to spend money when I first met. Why are you so embarrassed?"

Zhao Shi pulled Zhang Ping into the private room and said with a smile: "On weekdays, you have long admired Brother Zhang's reputation, so it's rare to see him. Today I am lucky to meet him. Brother Zhang just don't dislike him."

He Kui explained on the side: "Brother Zhao has just come to Peking. He is a salt merchant and plans to open up land and export grain in Peking. There is a big deal in the south. Brother Zhang, you don't have to be polite. He has some money."

When Zhang Ping heard that he was a wealthy businessman, he felt more confident. It would be no problem to follow the master for a few days, so he heard Zhao Shi ask the waiter: "Even good wine and good food are served. Today I will stop drunk with Brother Zhang."

After three rounds of drinking, the three of them turned red with their faces. Zhao Shi took out two treasure bills from his arms and pushed them to Zhang Ping with a smile: "Brother Zhang, Zhao is very honored to be able to get to know you. Some meager meeting gifts are not worthy of respect."

Zhang Ping looked down and saw that the one above was five hundred guan, so the two guan was at least one thousand guan, and one move would be one thousand guan. It was such a rich man. However, Zhang Ping was not drunk yet, and thought in his heart that no matter how generous he was, he could not do it, and he could ask me for something? Thinking of this tablet, he looked at him: "What does Brother Zhao mean? A gentleman's friendship, wouldn't it lose our original intention of making friends with literature?"

He Kui quickly smoothed out the situation: "Look, I'll say that Brother Zhang is a handsome man. Brother Zhao, you don't listen, and you have to make these stinky smells. Brother Zhang, don't worry, I told Brother Zhao before, Brother Zhang, you go to Cuihonglou to redeem Lanxiang. It's urgent to have a thousand guan. I guess Brother Zhao has recorded it in his heart and wants to use this

The money will make you brother Zhang a good thing."

Zhang Ping sighed as soon as he heard this: "Don't mention it, that good thing won't happen. Lan Xiang is now my concubine's mother."

He Kui said in surprise: "Mr. Ling Zun, Lord Zhang, got the first step? With Lan Xiang's method, that little mouth, hey, that's really... Lord. Zhang's sword is not old, I admire him."

Zhang Ping didn't care about He Kui's words, but just kept sighing.

Zhao Shize comforted: "It's a pity that a good thing, but Brother Zhang doesn't have to be discouraged. Choose another good one and take it back to the room."

Zhang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "I am in love with Lan Xiang, so where can I pretend to be other women?" He said that, and pushed the money to Zhao Shi half an inch.

Zhao Shi quickly pushed the money to Zhang Ping again and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang must receive this money. I have to trouble Brother Zhang. Please give me some good words in front of Lingzun."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he stared at the Qianguan and said, "Whether there is any trouble between our friends, Brother Zhao has difficulties. Even if you want to do your best, you will be able to get rid of your money."

Zhao Shi smiled and said, "I have been doing business for many years and have made some money, but the merchants are the last of the four people. After all, they are not able to reach the rank of elegance. Although they are rich, they are looked down upon. Therefore, I want to ask for a single official position and glorify my ancestors. What I ask for is just a trivial matter for Lord Lingzun. I heard that our army won a great victory in this battle of Peking, but our soldiers also suffered casualties. I think that if I can make up for the lack of a fallen general, I will be satisfied."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he pulled his face down, stood up and said righteously: "You are clearly here to buy it. My father will not do anything about selling official positions and titles."

Zhao Shi quickly stood up with a smile and said, "How can it be considered selling official positions? The court selects officials every year and appoints talents without any restrictions. If you order the master to recommend talents, how can it be considered selling official positions? As long as you can add a thousand households to the subordinates, the subordinates are willing to respect the subordinates five thousand cents."

When Zhang Ping heard this, his eyes turned and slowly sat down. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "It makes sense. In fact, those who served in the army are all officials and positions, and they are not earned by their abilities. After they die, they will also let their nephews succeed them. Instead of doing this, it is better to let people with both virtue and talent come to do it." Zhang Ping said, while picking up a thousand guan of money and putting it in his arms.

When Zhao Shi saw Zhang Ping collecting the money, he immediately smiled and pulled Zhang Ping out: "Brother Zhang is wise and he is really happy. Let's go to Cuihonglou and have fun. I'm here to be the host. Please continue to appreciate your face."

He Kui also stood up with a smile, "Brother Zhao is happy today, I will definitely make you spend money." Zhang Ping followed him out, and suddenly he accidentally discovered that Zhao Shi's feet were a little lame. How could a lame man become an officer? He also became a thousand households in one fell swoop, but Zhang Ping thought about the thousand coins in his arms, but he really couldn't bear it, so he didn't say anything.

Let’s look back and say Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing didn’t catch up with his escaped son and was so angry that he drank a lot of wine alone for dinner. But as he drank, Zhang Ping suddenly ran in in a mess: “Dad, save me, save me, my son is in trouble, only dad can save me.”

When Zhang Jing saw his son, he was so angry that he grabbed the wine glass and smashed it over. However, his drunken hands trembled. The place where the cup was broken was far away from Zhang Ping, and he kept cursing: "Little beast, little bastard, dare to come back, you are something worse than a pig or dog."

"Dad, I was wrong. Now it's a disaster.

"Zhang Ping cried and burst into tears.

Zhang Jing frowned and said, "Is there another fight with someone?"

Zhang Ping wiped his tears and said, "My son drank some wine in the afternoon, and then went to Cuihonglou with his friend. My friend and I ordered two red girls. Unexpectedly, the red girl in Cuihonglou was all given by a rich rich man. My friend was angry and insisted that the two girls come to accompany him. So he had a dispute with the rich rich man. My son took advantage of the alcohol and also attacked him."

With a bang, Zhang Jing slapped Zhang Ping hard on the face: "It's Cuihonglou again, you are a prodigal son. You know how to prostitution all day long. Did you beat someone? It's very serious?" Zhang Jing hated and worried.

Zhang Ping stopped crying and covered his face and said, "My son knew he was wrong and would never go again next time. That person didn't know how to live or die, but Cuihonglou caught fire."

Zhang Jing widened his eyes: "What did you put on? A bunch of things that cause trouble."

Zhang Ping quickly said, "Dad, it's unjust. It was not the son who set fire to the fire. We had some fights, but we absolutely did not set fire. I don't know how the fire started."

Zhang Jing slapped him again: "Baoshi, you said you didn't set fire. What's the evidence? You fought and drank a stomach full of cat urine. The most suspected fire was the most suspected. People insisted that you put it on. How do you defend?"

When Zhang Ping heard this, he started crying again, "Dad, you must save your son. Your son is really wronged."

Zhang Jing hesitated for a moment: "Now, we can only say hello to the Peking Prefecture and the Censorate first, and ask them to suppress the case. As long as they can, it is best to catch the real murderer who sets fire. If they know the matter, sell their father's face, and can't catch the real murderer, they can also get a scapegoat." But at this point, Zhang Jing hesitated again: "But now it seems that Chen Shu may be the person on the line of King Yan, and you can't rely too much on him. We have to find another way out. I will try to repair a letter to the prince and talk about the case a little more seriously. It is best to get a relationship with the King Yan, so that the prince may intervene. By the way, what kind of friend are you, who is fighting with you, and who may have something to do with King Yan?"

Zhang Ping quickly whispered: "He Kui, you know that there is a new wealthy businessman. Today, this friend is the host of this friend. He also said that he wanted you to get a job for a half-time position. If he could get a thousand households, he would be willing to pay 3,000 steadiaries to honor you."

Zhang Jing opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Sanqianguan? He is quite generous and rich."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he knew that his father agreed to the number of the three thousand guan, and said with a smile: "That's right, Dad, haven't many officers been killed this time? Anyway, he has to make up for it. It's better to add a thousand households for him. Anyway, he only has an official position and does not have real power."

Zhang Jing suddenly frowned and asked, "Sanqianguan, did you not raid an ambush? How much did he promise to give?"

Zhang Ping's face turned hot, but he knew that his father was cheating him, so he calmly said, "Dad, how dare my son ambush? He only paid a thousand guan at the beginning. I immediately refused him, and I said that you, the old man, worked hard and took the risk for him. One thousand guan is absolutely impossible."
