Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Noon, at the gate of the capital.

Jiang Chen, the county magistrate and others rode their horses and left the capital.

At this moment, each of them had a smile on their face.

Although they only stayed in Beijing for seven or eight days this time, they gained a lot.

The county magistrate got the official position he wanted.

Old Wu met his old comrades.

As for Jiang Chen... he now has two more godfathers.

Touching the two tokens, one jade and one iron, in his arms, Jiang Chen was speechless for a long time.

How can I find my father's journey when I come from Beijing?

He had two godfathers at once, and they had three enemies.

I don’t know what the future will be like.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Chen thought of this and sighed helplessly.

"My dear nephew, what's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave the capital?" The county magistrate heard Jiang Chen sigh and joked with a smile.

"Uncle, please stop joking. I miss home so much right now, how could I be reluctant to leave the capital."

"It's just that this capital city is so prosperous, but outside there are refugees everywhere. I feel uncomfortable!"

Jiang Chen said this and sighed again.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face became somewhat gloomy.

He sighed and said, "Jiang Chen, the current situation is not something you and I can change. We just need to live our own lives well!"

"Well, what Second Uncle said makes sense." Jiang Chen forced a smile towards the county magistrate.

"Haha, you little brat!"

The county magistrate saw Jiang Chen's expression, shook his head and sighed: "My dear nephew, you may not know that once upon a time, I also had the same compassion as you, and I also had the desire to save the people!"

“That’s why I study hard.”

"But when I entered the imperial court, I realized... all of this was just an illusion!"

……

When Jiang Chen heard the county magistrate's words, his mind moved slightly.

The county magistrate does look like a scholar, but what he did...

"Uncle, how did you become an official in the court? Was it because of studying?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously.

He had heard from Mr. Xue San that his family's ancestors did not seem to be a wealthy family, and it was only after the emergence of Xue Wenyan, the county magistrate, that their family became prosperous.

Since there was no imperial examination in that era, how did the county magistrate enter the officialdom?

"Haha, nephew, you don't know this!"

The county magistrate smiled proudly and said, "Since Eunuch Zhang came to power, he has set up a talent recruitment hall in the capital. Anyone with talent can become a disciple of Eunuch Zhang, and those with outstanding talent will have the opportunity to become an official."

"And I was a member of the Talent Recruitment Hall back then!"

When the county magistrate said this, his eyes were filled with nostalgia.

But when Jiang Chen heard the county magistrate's words, he was surprised.

Talent recruitment hall?

Founded by Eunuch Zhang?

This damn eunuch, still has such thoughts?

Could it be that it was to control the court?

I guess... that should be the case.

It can't be that the old man wants to give ordinary people a chance, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen thought of Eunuch Zhang again.

I have to say, the other party looks good. He doesn’t look like a eunuch at all, but more like... a great scholar!

This... is really weird!

But what Jiang Chen didn't know was that Eunuch Zhang was also thinking about him at this moment.

"You mean, Jiang Chen got acquainted with Marquis Jian'an during these few days in the capital, and was brought to General Luo's mansion by Marquis Jian'an?"

Eunuch Zhang looked at the spy kneeling in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

……

"Your Excellency! Yes!"

"On the first day Jiang Chen came to the capital, he got acquainted with Marquis Jian'an, and the young lady was there that night!"

"It is said that Jiang Chen has also recruited many retired veterans from the Shanzi Camp!"

The spy told everything.

Under the order of Eunuch Zhang, he has been investigating Jiang Chen's affairs for the past two days.

But when he checked, he found something wrong.

Marquis of Jian'an!

That's the person Eunuch Zhang hates the most!

"Haha, that's interesting."

After hearing the spy's report, Eunuch Zhang smiled meaningfully.

"Sir, do you want us to get rid of Jiang Chen? He should not have left the capital too far. We..." the spy asked tentatively.

But before the spy could finish his words, Eunuch Zhang interrupted him!

Eunuch Zhang said in a cold tone: "No!"

"This..." The spy was slightly stunned.

Isn't it that Eunuch Zhang is investigating Jiang Chen in order to kill him?!

Eunuch Zhang looked at the spy's puzzled expression and said coldly, "No one is allowed to touch Jiang Chen without my permission!"

"Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

"Yes! I humbly obey my orders!"

When the spy heard what Eunuch Zhang said, he was so frightened that he trembled all over!

The power of Eunuch Zhang's words of killing without mercy is quite significant!

"Well, you go down!"

"Remember, focus on those civil officials and military generals. Now that something happened on the border, they will definitely take action. Do you understand?" Eunuch Zhang said calmly.

"I understand the humble position!"

The spy said respectfully, then turned and left the room.

After the spy left, Eunuch Zhang began to think.

Jiang Chen and Marquis Jian'an...

Will it matter?

……

night.

Zhoujia Village.

Four old soldiers were patrolling at the entrance of the village.

Because of the Scarface incident, the patrols by these veteran soldiers have been strengthened.

There are people not only at the entrance of the village, but also in the back mountain and inside the village.

So that you can respond to any situation at any time!

"Brothers, the New Year is coming soon. This year, we won't have to go hungry anymore!" An old soldier looked at the bright moon in the sky and a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, more than we won't have to go hungry, with Village Chief Jiang here, we will definitely have a prosperous year!"

"That's right! Village Chief Jiang is so kind. He has allowed us to live a good life that we never dared to imagine before!"

"We must repay Village Chief Jiang!"

"That's right!"

The four old soldiers spoke excitedly.

They are extremely content with their present life.

With food and drink, the family is happy.

This is the day they only dreamed of!

Especially now that they have the prosthetic legs and weapons made by Jiang Chen, they have regained their combat effectiveness!

This was something I never dared to think about before!

But while the four were chatting, the bandits on the distant mountain were already ready to attack!

"Second brother, you take ten brothers with you and go first. There are only four people at the entrance of the village. You take care of them!"

"Then, I'll take the rest of the brothers with me!"

"Remember, after entering the village, we will go straight to Jiang Chen's home. After we deal with Jiang Chen's family, I will not care what you do!"

The boss looked at his brothers and gave instructions in a deep voice!

"No problem! They're just a few cripples, just wait and see, big brother!"

The second in command said this with excitement.

He is waiting to enter the village and make a fortune!

Although other villages don't have much money, Zhoujia Village is doing well under the leadership of Jiang Chen!

As for the four disabled people at the entrance of the village...

Haha, if I can’t deal with these four cripples!

He might as well just run into a wall and die at the entrance of Zhoujia Village!
