"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty the Commander. I'm going to go out to do something. Please forgive me."
Chao Jigang bowed his hand, and Chen Kan walked around him and continued to move forward.
His head suddenly hit a hard chest again, and Chen Kan raised his head again.
"Do you have any other instructions, sir?"
"No."
Ji Gang's voice didn't waver at all.
Chen Kan stood still and looked at Ji Gang, suddenly feeling that there was no reason for his guilty conscience.
It is true that he and Ji Gang have no personal enmity, and Ji Gang does not offend him.
But he didn't do anything wrong. At best, he just wanted to prevent Daming, who was already extremely violent, from bleeding a little less.
He had clearly thought about it on the way back to the capital from Taiyuan, so why was he still frightened when he saw Ji Gang?
Just because you blocked his plan to implicate the court, are you afraid of being retaliated against and targeted by him?
"No!"
Recalling the things he had figured out that day by the Fen River, he suddenly became more confident.
"I didn't do anything wrong, he was wrong!"
The belief in his heart was stronger than ever before. Chen Kan raised his head, showed his signature smile, and said with a smile: "If nothing happens, I will leave."
Ji Gang looked at the smile on Chen Kan's face, frowned slightly, then relaxed, and said lightly: "You can bring Monk Daoyan as your backer, Chen Kan, but I am looking down on you. Today, I will give Monk Daoyan some face, and let’s start over again in the future.”
After understanding the strong threat in Ji Gang's words, Chen Kan shrugged indifferently and responded: "Just make your master happy by commanding."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Gang almost couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.
"Heroes come from young people."
After gritting his teeth and leaving a few words, Ji Gang turned around and left. He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart and send the person in front of him to the west with a punch.
Thinking about Ji Gang, he had never suffered such a big loss since the day he became the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Not to mention falling on a young boy.
Looking at Ji Gang's back, Chen Kan had a sneer on his face. He thought Ji Gang was some kind of scourge, but it turned out that he was just a human being.
Chen Kan walked out of Jinyiwei with his hands behind his back, no longer feeling any cowardice in his heart.
Now he understands why Zhu Di asked him to take the original team to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. The check and balance Zhu Di wanted was to check and balance the Jinyiwei, not Ji Gang.
In the final analysis, without the Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang is just a slightly taller ordinary person. It is because of the Jin Yiwei that he, Ji Gang, is the most cool official in the Ming Dynasty.
"Then let's see whether I, the time traveler, is better, or you, the coolest official in the Ming Dynasty, will have the last laugh."
"The first step to control power is to confront Ji Gang and save every good person who has committed crimes in his hands!"
Clenching his fists to cheer himself up, he controlled his horse and walked towards Wuyi Alley by the Qinhuai River.
The old residence of Puding Marquis Mansion was completely transformed in just one and a half months in the hands of the craftsmen of Shibafang.
Chen Kan opened the new door, and only a few craftsmen were still working on the final touches.
Seeing a young man entering the door, a man who looked like a consul came to greet him.
When the consul came, the shopkeeper made it very clear that the owner of the house was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He must be the one in front of him.
"Is this Mr. Chen Kan and Chen?"
"it's me."
Chen Kan cupped his fists and saluted. He had always maintained the greatest respect for these backbones at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.
The consul was flattered by Chen Kan's return gift, because he could see clearly that the clothes on the young man in front of him were obviously the official uniforms of Jin Yiwei.
Chen Kan could see the fear in his eyes, so he tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible and asked: "How is the house? Is it habitable?"
Hearing this, the consul hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms, carefully handed it to Chen Kan, and said: "I'll tell you, sir, it's almost done. There are still some details that the brothers at Muhang are repairing. I'll probably finish it today." It can be completed. Also, the shopkeeper has told me that if Mr. Chen comes to inspect the house, let me hand this over to you."
"Not bad."
Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction. The efficiency of Ming's craftsmen was indeed impeccable. The thirty-acre house was completed in more than a month. In future generations, it would be unbelievable.
Reaching out to take the fold, Chen Kan opened it and read it.
What was recorded above were the details of the cost of materials used to repair the house. After a cursory glance, Chen Kan made a comment in his mind for the shopkeeper of Namu Store as a conscientious businessman.
He put the fold into his sleeve and told the consul: "You go about your business, I'll take a look around."
"Why!"
The consul responded and saw that Chen Kan had already gone to the back house and became busy again.
Walking into the front hall and looking at the various furniture that was basically in place, Chen Kan couldn't help but touch and poke here and there.
This is the first house in his life, and it is located in a prime location in the capital.
Although he did not have the money to renovate the house luxuriously, Chen Kan still felt that it was worth spending the one thousand taels of gold.
The complete set of wooden tables and chairs is less splendid and more elegant and simple.
After confirming that there were no quality problems with the newly repaired walls and the delivered furniture, Chen Kan continued to walk into the central hall garden.
The rockery that was originally dry and cracked has been submerged by the crystal clear spring water again. A vigorous ancient pine has been planted on the top of the rockery. Several paths stretch in the garden, although it is not as good as the nine-curved corridor of the Jin Palace. A scene with a bit more simple elegance.
There is a set of stone tables and chairs placed under several green bamboos, which is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
Chen Kan secretly thought that the money was well spent and walked quickly towards the back hall.
What you can see is a sparkling small lake. The hibiscus in the small lake is in full bloom. In the center of the small lake is a pavilion made of pine wood. The pavilion is connected to the shore with a wooden corridor. The shore is surrounded by a circle of green trees. Weeping willows, with long branches hanging down into the water, must be a good place to escape the heat and enjoy the cool air in summer.
"Conscience."
Chen Kan sighed with emotion.
In my previous life, as a social worker in 1996, I couldn't even afford a public toilet. In Daming, I actually had a house that looked like a small town.
The excitement in Chen Kan's heart was beyond words.
In particular, this house is a traditional oriental classical building, with pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water.
When it comes to future generations, no matter what you do, you have to have several small goals to have it.
"Ouch~"
"We have a family!"
Standing on the edge of the small lake, Chen Kan suddenly let out a roar, which shocked the fish in the water and the birds in the trees to express dissatisfaction with this uninvited guest.
"Move, move tomorrow!"
Chen Kan looked like a maniac, standing by the lake with his mouth wide open and having fun.
