Chapter 15 There is someone above me

Pei Yuan looked at this "treasure prime minister" and smiled particularly happily for a moment.

The middle-aged fat man looked at the increasingly enthusiastic Jinyiwei in bewilderment, and his anus couldn't help but tighten, not knowing what the other party was planning.

Zhang Cong looked at the copper coins in his hand and felt that they were not very fragrant anymore.

He wanted to give up, but he couldn't bear to do so.

Zhang Cong has failed the exams several times, disappointing his family time and again, and now he can't bear it any longer.

If I can use this as a gift and get in touch with Grand Secretary Li Dongyang, maybe there will be a turning point.

Zhang Cong looked at Pei Yuan and suggested carefully, "How about we stop here today?"

Pei Yuan said cheerfully, "Brother, please do as you please!"

Pei Yuan didn't even ask for follow-up contact information.

With Zhang Cong's talent and knowledge, he would definitely be one of the few people at the top of the pyramid, and Pei Yuan would definitely see him at that position.

Moreover, with the help of Xu Zhu coins, Zhang Cong's pace of progress might be even faster.

Zhang Cong was a little surprised to see Pei Yuan's straightforward answer.

He was a little confused as to what this evil man in brocade clothes wanted to achieve by giving him such a valuable thing.

Isn't this unreasonable?
I am just a failed candidate and don’t have any strong background.

Could it be that he really admires my literary talent?
Picture yourself?

The middle-aged fat man felt numb for a moment.

Pei Yuan watched Zhang Cong leave in a daze, and felt that his life became more stable.

Could this be the fulfilling feeling of having someone to cling to?
After a while, Zhang Cong came back.

Pei Yuan asked in surprise, "Brother, what else do you want?"

Zhang Cong said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have received a favor from you, my dear brother, but I have not yet asked for your name."

Pei Yuan was overjoyed.

The “Treasure Prime Minister” even asked me what my name was!

What does this mean?
This shows that our relationship is progressing!

Pei Yuan said quickly, "I am Pei Yuan, a centurion in the Jinyiwei. If you need me, please let me know."

Then he patted his chest and said.

"I have someone above me, Zhang Rong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, as well as Qiu Ju, the chief of the East Factory, and Gu Dayong, the chief of the West Factory. I have a say in them all!"

Zhang Cong was startled.

What kind of high-end evil scheme is this with three people missing?

Zhang Cong was a little flustered and said goodbye in a hurry.

When leaving the shop, Zhang Cong secretly looked back and saw Pei Yuan still looking at his back eagerly.

The middle-aged fat man felt heavy-hearted. He could no longer stay in the capital. After meeting Li Dongyang, he decided to head south back to Yongjia.

After Pei Yuan sent Zhang Cong away, his appetite improved a lot.

After a while, Chen Toutie came over with a young man about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

The young man looked somewhat similar to Cheng Zhihu, with a very strong physique and a smile on his face that was youthful yet sophisticated.

When he saw Pei Yuan from afar, he clasped his fists and bowed, then came over and whispered, "Boy Cheng Leixiang greets Captain Pei."

Pei Yuan was very satisfied when he saw this.

What is this place?
This is the entrance to Da Ci'en Temple.

There were countless noble scholars and officials' families passing by the gate. As a small centurion, I had to think hard to eat for free here. How could I be so high-profile?
Cheng Leixiang looks young and unruly, with a bit of a gangster vibe, but he is more worldly-wise than his father.

Pei Yuan smiled and asked him to sit down, then asked, "Have you contacted your good friend Yun Buxian?"

Cheng Leixiang said with a little embarrassment, "That old man Yun Weilin has a bad temper. He said that he would ignore anyone in the Thousand Household Office except the Thousand Household Officer surnamed Han. My brother helped to say something, but it didn't work."

Pei Yuan remained silent, feeling extremely panicked.

What he fears most when he uses this as a banner is encountering those old-timers who dare to jump out and make trouble.

If we go into more detail, I'm afraid all the previous activities will be exposed.

But Cheng Leixiang was right in front of him, so Pei Yuan couldn't back down too quickly.

He had to pretend to think and then make a accusation, "What he meant was that if Qian Hu's surname was not Han, he would not even pay attention to the imperial court's orders?"

Cheng Leixiang scratched his head and pretended not to hear.

Pei Yuan found a way out for himself, "Forget it, looking for this kind of person will only bring trouble to Qian Hu. Let's go directly to the Zhenfu Division."

Cheng Lei responded, "The boy has already prepared the carriage and horses."

Pei Yuan saw that Cheng Leixiang was experienced in his work, and felt that the situation in Nanzhili might be a bit difficult to handle. It would be best to have more help, so he immediately wanted to kidnap this guy and take him away.

Then he remembered Cheng Zhihu's words about finding a legitimate business for his son, and immediately asked, "Did your father find you a family background?"

Cheng Leixiang said quickly, "My father bought me a trial centurion position a few years ago, but I don't have any connections, so I have nowhere to go for the time being."

Pei Yuan was speechless. The Ming Dynasty must be crazy about selling official positions. Why are they selling official positions everywhere?

Seeing Pei Yuan remained silent, Cheng Leixiang said carefully, "I am a man who knows the rules. If you can give me a future, I am willing to start from a small flag."

Pei Yuan was even more speechless. He was only seconded by Captain Han, so how could he be qualified to assign a real position to someone?

Having said that, I could only say "hmm" twice perfunctorily.

Seeing this, Cheng Leixiang became more enthusiastic and immediately sold out his good brother Yun Buxian.

"Actually, there is a reason why Yun Weilin doesn't dare to see you, my Lord."

Pei Yuan didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain. He stood up and asked curiously, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Seeing Pei Yuan's interest, Cheng Leixiang became even more excited.

"The Da Ci'en Temple is rich. Yun Weilin has worked for so many years and has made a lot of money. But he was stupid enough to buy a deputy captain position for his son Yun Buxian."

"It's fine if he just wants to buy a deputy captain, he also wants Yun Buxian to take over his lucrative position at Da Ci'en Temple in the future."

"But think about it, sir. The most powerful commander in our Thousand Households Division is Thousand Household Han. The five Hundred Households under him are all top heroes. Yun Weilin is crazy to buy a deputy Thousand Household for his son."

"Now Yun Buxian wants to join the Qianhu Suo as an ordinary lieutenant or strongman, but no one agrees. In the future, at most he can spend a lot of money to get a job in the garrison. If he is assigned to a remote place, he may have to drink the blood of soldiers for a lifetime, which is not as good as one year in the Da Ci'en Temple."

Pei Yuan listened and roughly understood it.

"So Yun Weilin is venting his dissatisfaction by not meeting me?"

Cheng Leixiang smiled and shook his head, "How could that be possible? He doesn't dare to see the adults, afraid that he will be moved out now. So he relies on his seniority and wants to delay it and find out what the higher-ups mean first."

After hearing this, Pei Yuan became more interested in the Suppressing Evil Thousand Households Office.

This special department seems to be very lucrative.

Yun Weilin, as a general flagman, could buy his son Yun Buxian the status of a deputy captain.

Cheng Zhihu bought a Trial Hundred Household for his son because someone advised him to do so, not because he did not have the money to buy a higher-end Spyker.

Pei Yuan unknowingly felt a little nervous before the interview about meeting Han Qianhu again.

If he can complete this task well, I don’t know whether he can be directly retained by Captain Han.
