As the end of the year approaches, Yingtian City becomes more and more lively.

Although many of the people who can survive in the city have to leave their hometowns and come to the city to make a living because of their land being occupied, many of them are still able to settle down in the city.

At the end of the year, in order to make themselves have a good New Year, the closer they are, the higher their enthusiasm is, and the more they hope to make more money, add new clothes to themselves and their families, and add a few more meat dishes to the dining table on New Year's Eve.

Compared with the ordinary people in Yingtian City, only a few officials, gentry, wealthy merchants and wealthy families do not have to worry about the new clothes and New Year's Eve dinner at the end of the year, they are not at all lighter than those ordinary people, especially the officials of all sizes and big and small in various yamen.

The more time it is for such a festive moment, the more busy they are.

Of course, business is only a small part. What they are really busy with is human relations. The most important thing among them is naturally to establish a good relationship with their superiors.

If you want to be filial, is there any better time than now?

However, the situation this year seems to be a little different. Many people found that this time, before they thought about how to be filial, their boss had already begun to take the initiative to establish a good relationship with them.

Of course, they quickly understood the reason.

Six doors.

Even if the officials involved want to suppress what happened during the day, it is obviously impossible to watch the eyes of many onlookers.

Since even the people have already known it, if you want to hide from many officials, you will be deceiving yourself.

This time, Liushemen made this, and undoubtedly slapped many senior officials in the face. This shame, they naturally couldn't swallow it if they couldn't look down on Liushemen.

But they themselves knew that in this matter, Hou Qing had blocked their way to intervene. Under Hou Qing's previous publicity, as long as anyone dared to reach out, it would be like self-declaring that he was an official who ignored the court's laws.

Therefore, in order to change this, they can only use the means they are best at controlling public opinion, and then change public opinion, and then provide prerequisites for forcing the Six Gates to submit again.

As literati who mastered the pen, this kind of thing has been their best at all since ancient times.

Whether it was Zulong, who was called a "tyrant", or Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, who was called a rogue, or the former dynasty Taizong and Renzong who were whitewashed and even praised as heaven hundreds of years ago.

However, although they are good at this kind of thing, they obviously cannot match the few senior officials alone. Moreover, if they even need to do such things personally, it would be too much of a loss.

Therefore, all kinds of veterans, smart people who squeezed through the single-plank bridge of the scientific research, and would never refuse the many subordinate officials they ordered, became the best target.

This is why the situation happened that made many officials feel strange.

...

On the Qinhuai River, the flower boats of Zhang Bin, the Minister of War, were once again filled with people.

Compared with other senior officials who suddenly invited their subordinates, Zhang Bin's invitation did not attract too much surprise from his subordinates. After all, half a month ago, Zhang Bin had invited them to take a flower boat to have fun together.

In less than half a month, the flower boat at home was used to entertain many officials twice, and spent hundreds of taels of silver to invite many well-known kabuki to come and liven up, and consume the good wine and many ingredients in the house. If Zhang Bin didn't feel sorry for him, it would naturally be impossible.

But no matter how much hesitated, Zhang Bin still did not hesitate at all when he took out the expenses.

Unlike those colleagues who were arrested for their true family members, who were more just to exaggerate and save face, Zhang Bin wanted to reap people, not just for these things.

The reason why he came to this muddy water was because he was entrusted and helpless.

What made him even more troubled was that he originally felt that the Six Doors had caused public anger this time, so this matter should be easily solved. So, on the premise that the person who entrusts this matter was not a good person, and he felt greedy in his heart, he agreed to the matter and made a guarantee.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. Hou Qing from the Six Doors suddenly became enlightened or had a courageous attack. He actually directly hit all the claws that had reached over to catch people in a way that no one expected.

So, Zhang Bin got clawed.

What made him even more upset was that even if the news came out, the person who entrusted the matter had no intention of showing up.

Zhang Bin, who knew very well how tough the other party was, naturally would not naively think that the other party gave up. He knew that the other party had not shown up, just told him.

Since he has made a guarantee, no matter what happens, he must take out the person.

In desperation, he had to ignore the risks that might arouse the interest of the Jinyiwei, and together with other colleagues, he participated in this control, changed public opinion, and forced Liushemen to submit, and once again invited many of his subordinates.

However, although Zhang Bin had a headache, he knew in his heart that his actions this time were not too risky and would definitely achieve results.

The only thing he was worried about was time.

If it is delayed for too long, it is difficult to guarantee that those arrested will confess because they cannot withstand the punishment.

The night gradually became deeper, and the officials who were already a little drunk were also at the right time to go home. Zhang Bin, who had already asked all his subordinates to agree to help, did not want to keep them and continue to waste their money, so he ordered the flower boat to dock.

When the flower boat had not yet landed, a small boat approached the flower boat quickly in the surprised and vigilant eyes of the shipper.

What surprised them even more was that there seemed to be many of the same boats on the river, rushing towards other flower boats to quickly row.

The boat was walking opposite the flower boat, and soon the boat arrived near the flower boat.

"Master, can you be on the boat?"

Just as the boatmen were looking at the boat vigilantly, a figure appeared at the bow of the boat, which made the boatmen breathe a sigh of relief.

They all know the people who come, and they are old acquaintances.

Zhang Bin's confidant, the housekeeper, Zhang Cheng.

"What happened to the butler? Why did you come to run errands in person?"

Recognizing Zhang Cheng's identity, the boatmen did not dare to neglect them. They quickly hooked the boat closer, carefully supported him onto the flower boat, and asked with a little flattering look.

"Shut up, don't ask too much about things you shouldn't ask."

Zhang Cheng was not grateful at all. He scolded him with a heavy face and then ran into the cabin in a hurry.

"Pooh!"
