"Acting General Flag?"
Zhang Mingtu was still at home when he received the news, which was delivered by the Jinyiwei using secret messaging methods.
Please bring the corresponding tokens and letters of authorization after you have learned them.
But Zhang Mingtu felt a little puzzled, but soon, as more specific and detailed tasks were passed down, Zhang Mingtu began to understand vaguely.
The mission passed down by the Embroidered Uniform Guards required him to investigate the areas surrounding Wang and Li's homes, investigate the various lands that had been annexed by others, and investigate the many displaced refugees.
The various investigation information has no source, no beginning or end, and the main purpose is not clearly stated. If another Jinyiwei were to come here, they would definitely be confused.
But Zhang Mingtu had experienced it once before and understood it at a glance.
"Is Rui Hai coming?"
He was the one who wrote the most detailed Jianyi investigation report in Ruihai's hands.
The refugees who are to be investigated now were all good citizens back then. Their land was occupied, their fertile farmland was lost, they could no longer be tenants, and they had no skills, so they had no choice but to become refugees.
There are also related cases of missing persons, which are basically related to the Wang and Li families.
In Jianyi, people from ordinary families were still unaware of the specific situation. There were even rumors among some merchants and officials that Ruihai was bloodthirsty and tyrannical, three meters tall, and ate one person a day.
But those who really made it far in officialdom, those from prominent families in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, all knew what Ruihai had done in Xingguo County.
It used official power to eliminate local malpractices and distribute land to local refugees.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is certainly doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, just like a living Bodhisattva in a temple. However, from the perspective of aristocratic families and people in official circles, this is tantamount to digging one's own grave and cutting oneself off from the aristocratic family for life.
Anyone with a little bit of connections didn't want to have too much involvement with Ruihai, even though it was rumored that Ruihai had the Prime Minister's favor.
But still not many people are willing to interact with Ruihai.
"Before, Xue Cheng was actively providing various investigation information. Now he has a bright future. He has been promoted to acting centurion and will soon become a centurion of the Imperial Guard.
"Having crossed this threshold, I don't think I'll want to have too much contact with Rui Hai..."
Although Zhang Mingtu did not achieve much in the officialdom and his highest position was only the general flag of Longxing Prefecture, he was well aware of the twists and turns within.
Xue Cheng didn't have much of a future before and was abandoned by his family, so he just followed his own will.
He is full of passion and wants to serve his country and make a career. He may be aware of Ruihai's behavior, but he still firmly carries it out. Now he is a different person.
"As expected, we should never be superstitious about predicting the future. The moment I see the future, it will already have changed..."
Zhang Mingtu sighed in his heart. The status of the general flag of the Jianyi Jinyiwei was not very high, but there were still many people who were interested in him.
The reason why no one came out to compete with him in this round was entirely because Rui Hai was coming, and people of status were unwilling to compete.
However, the person who wanted to compete was not strong enough, and was instead taken advantage of by Zhang Mingtu.
"Forget it, since Xue Cheng doesn't want to, I'll do it."
"I just didn't expect that after going around in circles, it would end up in my hands again."
Zhang Mingtu also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He suggested that he should write the investigation report, but he did not want to take the lead and gave the report to Ruihai. Don't expect that when the time came, Ruihai issued an order through the Jinyiwei, asking him to continue the investigation.
However, this time we are not investigating the main issues, but rather some minor details to verify the situation in the Jianyi investigation report.
"Since you've asked me to investigate, I can be lazy and focus on other things..."
It’s not that Zhang Mingtu is not serious, but someone has already investigated the specific circumstances of what his future brother had experienced clearly.
Zhang Mingtu only needs to write the corresponding report and situation. For some places that actually need to be visited, he will take a walk around to make sure he has been there.
"Oh, it's all because my former brothers worked too hard. Now I have no direction to work hard..."
Zhang Mingtu thought about it and realized that he had been busy all over the place these past two days. Either he was showing off as a half-grandmaster, or he was squatting in front of the underground river in the middle of the night, blowing in the cold wind.
Now that everything has come to an end for the time being, it's time for him to enjoy life.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mingtu naturally strolled to the Fulai Restaurant. The restaurant's business was quite good. Weiyuan Escort Agency sold its wine farther and farther, and the reputation of the wine gradually spread.
As the only restaurant in Jianyi that sells Yuhuchun exclusively, there is a constant stream of people coming here because of its reputation, and even traveling merchants passing by here have to have a pot.
Zhang Mingtu. He always absorbed all kinds of obsessions and thought that the world was full of poor people. But when he came to Fulai Restaurant, he realized that it was not the case that the world was full of poor people, but that he had not seen any truly wealthy people.
People who come and go in Fulai Restaurant can easily take out a tael of silver and order a pot of Yuhuchun.
And this one or two taels of silver, among the many obsessions absorbed by the Tibetan people, would take many people several months to save up.
"Where have you been these past two days? Why haven't I seen you?"
When Zhang Jishi saw Zhang Mingtu, he muttered something but didn't say much.
Instead, Wang Yulan pulled Zhang Mingtu aside, took out a plate of marinated beef from the kitchen cabinet, and said with a smile on her face.
"You must be hungry. Eat something first. I know you have a big appetite. There is always food in this cabinet. If you are hungry, you can take it from here."
