The moonlight was just right tonight, but Zhang Ren had no intention of admiring it.
Thinking about it carefully, everything he experienced since the time travel was basically a struggle for rights. Although he didn't want to participate in any of this, he was in the whirlpool and he didn't even have the right to say no.
Seeing more and more graves in the woods west of the city, Zhang Ren finally had the idea of escape.
Perhaps as long as we stay far away from Jinling and the power center of the Ming Dynasty, the number of tombs will not continue to increase.
Zhang Ren shook his head. The top priority now is to heal his injuries. Even if he wants to leave Jinling City, a good body is essential.
He discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to use his internal energy to treat his injuries.
This exercise lasted all night. When the sky dawned, Zhang Ren finally ended his meditation. He got up and moved around. His internal injuries were basically healed. Only the trauma on his calf was still a little painful, but it was no longer a hindrance. As long as If you continue to nourish it with the Nine Yang Manual, you will be cured in a few days.
Zhang Ren had some light breakfast at home, but the concierge brought a letter from somewhere and presented it to Zhang Ren respectfully.
"Where did the letter come from?" Zhang Ren asked as he wiped his mouth.
The porter opened his mouth and replied: "Master Ren, this is a letter from my hometown."
Zhang Ren frowned. At the beginning of his time travel, his uncle was still the Privy Councilor of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, after the Yuan Dynasty suffered several defeats in the battle with the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty naturally directed all their anger and dissatisfaction towards Zhang Ren, who was a Han Chinese. Jade body.
Seeing the fangs shown by the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty, and knowing that his vitality was almost exhausted, Zhang Yu decided to resign and return home with his whole family after much thought.
Zhang Yu's hometown was originally in Xiangfu, Henan, but later the family moved to Dengzhou Prefecture to escape the war.
Zhang Yu rushed to the state capital with his whole family. It was during that trip that Zhang Ren met Zhang Wuji and obtained the Great Shift of the Universe.
Apart from encountering horse thieves and robbers at the beginning, the rest of the road was fairly smooth.
Zhang Ren had imagined at that time that when he arrived in Dengzhou and met cheap relatives, as long as he talked sweetly, wouldn't those people smash him to death with big red envelopes?
Many times, the more fulfilling the ideal, the more skinny the reality becomes.
When Zhang Yu's family arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture, instead of receiving a warm welcome, they received groundless accusations and abuse.
When Zhang Yu was an official, his relatives in his hometown received a lot of favors, and they became a wealthy family from a middle-class family. The fact that the children of the family can study well and the business of the family is prosperous is not all due to Zhang Yu's contribution. ?
He is so cute, he is always forgetful. Seeing that Zhang Yu has lost his official status and even his personal belongings are pitifully shabby, they all treat Zhang Yu's family with a cold face.
However, some elders in the clan gave Zhang Yu advice, hoping that Zhang Yu could go south and join the Ming Dynasty. In this way, not only would Zhang Yu regain an official position, but the family would also be able to make further progress in the future.
Zhang Yu served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty. If he now seeks refuge with the Ming Dynasty, he cannot accept it in his heart. He would rather remain an unknown person and be an ordinary person than leave a name in the history books in the future for seeking glory and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.
So Zhang Yu didn't adopt this idea at all, but later on, the people in the clan bullied his family more and more seriously. Even Zhang Fu and Zhang Ren would often be beaten black and blue by the teenagers in the clan.
….
Zhang Yu had no choice. In order to have a good background and future for Zhang Fu and Zhang Ren, Zhang Yu could only take his family and set off again, all the way south to join the Ming Dynasty as a surrendered general.
Thinking of these past events, Zhang Ren naturally didn't like those cheap relatives in Dengzhou Prefecture. Is it because seeing his uncle become an official again made those relatives in the clan jealous?
He took the letter from home and opened it immediately.
But the concierge stopped him and said, "Master Ren, isn't this good? After all, it's a letter from my hometown. Let's forward it to the master, right?"
Zhang Ren curled his lips, but was quite reluctant. Based on his understanding of his cheap uncle, even if he was treated coldly by the family, as long as the family spoke, no matter what they wanted,
I beg Zhang Yu to be satisfied as much as possible. This can be regarded as the tragedy of this era. Even if you die, you can't get rid of the brand of the family, and the honor and disgrace of the family are always above personal honor and disgrace.
Zhang Ren knew that he could not change Zhang Yu's mind, so he did not intend to send this family letter to Zhang Yu. He simply said to the concierge: "Both the uncle and the assistant brother went to Yanshan Guard. They are military positions, and the family If there really is something going on here, they can't do much to help. Fortunately, I'm a free man, so if there's any big thing happening in my hometown, I can just go and solve it."
Without waiting for the concierge's reply, Zhang Ren opened the envelope and read it.
The beginning of the letter is filled with some anecdotal remarks, but the person who wrote the letter has placed himself in a very low position, and other than saying hello, he is just flattering.
Zhang Ren felt nauseous looking at these, and there were some rather uncommon allusions mixed in, which made him even more upset, so he simply skipped these useless parts and went straight to the end of the letter.
At the end, I finally explained why I wrote this letter. The main reason is that Japanese pirates have been rampant in Dengzhou recently, especially in Ninghai County, where my family is located. However, the officials here colluded with the Japanese pirates, causing heavy losses to the family. I hope Zhang Yu can help. Or think of a way.
In Zhang Ren's heart, such a family deserved to be exterminated. He had no intention of taking care of it, but it involved Japanese pirates, so he had to take care of it.
How could he not know what kind of disaster the Japanese pirates would bring to the vast land of China a few hundred years later? I used to read that period of history when I was in school, and I always wished I could wipe out all the Japanese pirates. Now, the opportunity has come. Even if I can't run to harm the Japanese country, it is easy to kill a few Japanese pirates.
After reading the letter from home, Zhang Ren put it back into the envelope, and then said to the concierge: "Go down, you don't have to trouble uncle with this matter, and it also saves him from being distracted by leading troops. I will go back to my hometown tomorrow."
The concierge nodded and retreated as instructed.
Originally, Zhang Ren didn't want to stay in Jinling anymore, so he simply took advantage of the opportunity to kill the Japanese pirates and left.
Of course, Zhang Ren is also a Jinyiwei after all. If he wants to leave Beijing for business, he always has to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to say hello, and he still has many people who need to say goodbye.
Zhang Ren went to the street and bought two jars of good wine, then went to Jinyiwei. One jar was given to Jiang Wei, and he asked for leave directly.
Jiang Wei didn't say much, just sighed and nodded, giving Zhang Ren permission to leave the capital.
Another jar of wine was sent to Luo Kedi's small courtyard.
Night rivers and lakes.
