"Mr. Mu, you are judging..."

Mu Zhongming walked on the streets of Beijing. Speaking of which, his ancestors also stayed in Beijing, but later went to Jinling, which is now Nanjing.

Mu Zhongming is now one of the 14,000 households. After taking over Beijing, Zhang Ran specially transferred Mu Zhongming to Beijing because of the importance of Beijing.

This is a good job, and everyone in the world knows that Beijing City will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Although the Ming Dynasty has not yet moved its capital, it is a matter of time. Once the capital is moved, Beijing City will be completely different. As the thousand households that the Jinyiwei originally set up in Beijing, Mu Zhongming has a bright future.

Wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword on the waist, this outfit is extremely conspicuous when walking on the street. In Beijing, the traces of the Qing Dynasty have basically faded away, and they have replaced them with the Ming Dynasty clothes. Looking around, it is no different from the south. Even the "Beijing films" brought by the Qing Dynasty have gradually changed the authentic Ming Dynasty mandarin.

Speaking of official language, the so-called Beijing movies have never been the original Beijing dialect. Many later generations misunderstood that Beijing dialect was the same as later generations. In fact, Beijing movies were brought about by the Qing Dynasty after entering the pass. During the Ming Dynasty, the real official language was the sound of the Jinling in Jiangnan, which is also called the Central Plains Elegant Voice. Since the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Central Plains Elegant Voice has become the official language commonly used by the Han court. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he directly announced that the Central Plains Elegant Voice was the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty entered the pass and occupied Beijing. After decades of evolution, it was only after using the accent outside the pass that Beijing movies were created as Mandarin. Now, the Ming Dynasty repeated the old capital, and of course it was necessary to replace Beijing movies with authentic Central Plains elegant sounds. In Beijing, there were not many people who could speak elegant sounds in the older generation, so the common people all gave up rolling their tongues and changed their mouths to learn Ming Dynasty official speech.

After walking through an intersection, he happened to meet someone. Mu Zhongming knew him. He was also Manchu. However, he was a "prodigal son" among Manchus. His ancestors had already squandered all his family business in his father's generation. After his father's death, he was not very old and had no ability to make a living. When the Qing court fled westward, the lower class like him, who was not qualified to follow him, and even if he left, he was worried about starving to death on the road, so he gritted his teeth and stayed.

There were actually many Manchu people like him, and these people had changed their name to Han. Manchu had long abandoned it. After the Ming army entered the city, they raised their hair and changed their clothes like others. Because they had no blood on their hands and were also subordinates, many people actually had no good feelings for the Qing Dynasty. In the eyes of these people, being able to eat and wear a lot is a great thing. It doesn't matter who is the emperor and is in the world, so the Ming Dynasty did not kill all these people.

It just so happened that the Jinyiwei also planned to choose some of these people as spies. After all, most parts of the north are still in the hands of the Qing army, and these people are still useful in the hands of the Jinyiwei. Just like the Bai Xiaoming who Mu Zhongming met now, he is a spy under Mu Zhongming. This kid is not old, but his head is still active and obedient, so he was chosen by the Jinyiwei.

Seeing that Bai Xiaoming had to salute when he saw him, he had a habit of saying good fortune, and words called auspiciousness came out of his mouth. Mu Zhongming suddenly glared at the bully's eyes, Bai Xiaoming shivered and immediately reacted, and the Beijing movies he was talking about also changed into unscrupulous official language.

"I have met Lord Mu..."

"You kid will not be alone in this Jinyiwei anymore." Mu Zhongming said coldly.

"Please rest assured. If you forget your humble position, you don't need your instructions. If you take off your clothes, you will get out of wherever you come from." Bai Xiaoming raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, and then said respectfully.

Although Bai Xiaoming is only the lowest lieutenant in the Jinyiwei, this lieutenant is different from the military position. The so-called lieutenant in the Jinyiwei is just a title, similar to the yamen runner. But even so, Bai Xiaoming's life is much better with this official skin. Compared to the days when he was hungry and full before, it is now a paradise.

The salary of the Ming Dynasty is not low. You should know that the annual salary of an ordinary magistrate is now fixed at 1,200 silver dollars, which is 100 silver dollars per month. The monthly salary of the Jinyiwei Small Banner is equivalent to that of the magistrate. The lowest magistrate like Bai Xiaoming can also get 56 silver dollars, which is a hundred times stronger than in the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that after joining the Jinyiwei, Bai Xiaoming worked hard. Where can I have a second job in the world? As for the Qing Dynasty, in Bai Xiaoming's opinion, it is not as good as the daily chicken, duck, fish and a pot of good wine. You must know that during the Qing Dynasty, he would have always had his tail between his tail and his cheeks and tried to find ways to make money to live. As for the grace of the Qing Dynasty, he has not enjoyed it for a day since he became sensible.

Nodded slightly, Mu Zhongming was about to leave, Bai Xiaoming quickly stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I have something to repay you!"

"What's the matter?"

"This..." Bai Xiaoming looked around and stopped talking.

"Go to the office and talk." Mu Zhongming didn't ask much when he saw his appearance, and directly explained. Bai Xiaoming nodded repeatedly, and then followed Mu Zhongming.

After a while, Mu Zhongming returned to the office and sat down in the main hall. Naturally, a small flag came to serve tea. Mu Zhongming picked up the tea and took a sip, looked at Bai Xiaoming standing in front of him, and then pointed to the side and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you!"

After Bai Xiaoming sat down, he said: "Sir, Rong Shengchang in the west of the city has some changes. If it is not bad as expected by Bei Zhi, Rong Shengchang should be the eyes and ears of the Qing Gouzi."

"Rong Shengchang?" Mu Zhongming thought for a while. He had not heard of this business. Seeing that Mu Zhongming was a little confused, Bai Xiaoming immediately explained: "Rong Shengchang is a cloth shop, not large in size, and there are only four people with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's surname is Bao, about fifty years old, Baoding people have been in Beijing for more than twenty years. As for the three shopkeepers below, one is his nephew, and the other two are from Beijing. When our Ming army entered Beijing, Rong Shengchang was a small shop, and the other was not a property of the imperial merchants and officials of the Qing court, so it was not included in the enemy's property."

"Since that's the case, why do you think Rong Shengchang is the eyes and ears of the Qing court?" Mu Zhongming thought no wonder he had never heard of such a small shop and had nothing to do with the Qing court. From the shopkeeper to the servant, there was also a clean origin. The Ming Dynasty naturally would not classify it as an enemy property.

But strangely, why did Bai Xiaoming suddenly say that there was something wrong with Rong Shengchang? Could it be that this kid was bullied by this shopkeeper back then? Now he is using reasons to find fault with his family? This is probably not possible. Mu Zhongming was the general of the Eight Banners and is now the backbone of the Jinyiwei. He is very familiar with the set of people below. If Bai Xiaoming planned to use this to frame him in order to avenge his personal revenge, then Mu Zhongming would never let him go.

This world is the world of the Ming Dynasty. Mu Zhongming is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, what can be done and what can't be done, Mu Zhongming is very clear about it. Thinking of this, a cold light popped up in Mu Zhongming's eyes and swept towards Bai Xiaoming in front of him.

Bai Xiaoming suddenly had a sudden blow in his heart, and quickly avoided Mu Zhongming's gaze, and then he said uneasy: "Sir, let's not hide it from him. I met Bao Shunbao several times back then. I always felt something was wrong with Rong Shengchang these days, so I came to repay him."

"A few encounters? Haha, Bai Xiaoming, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Mu Zhongming sneered: "You are from the Jinyiwei, and you should know what our Jinyiwei does. If I'm right, do you have a grudge against this shopkeeper back then?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoming was sweating all over, so how could he sit still? He quickly stood up and knelt down at Mu Zhongming and said, "Sir! Bei Zhi admitted that he had a relationship with Bao Zhangzhu, but this was just a trivial matter. Bei Zhi was poor at that time and his mother was seriously ill. Because Bao Zhangzhu had an old age with his father in his early years, Bei Zhi once asked Bao Zhangzhu to borrow money. But who would have thought that Bao Zhangzhu not only did not borrow money, but it would be fine if he didn't borrow money, but he even got me out. Fortunately, the neighbors later reached out to help, and then he pulled my mother back from the gate of hell..."

After kowtowing a few times, Bai Xiaoming continued, "Although this shopkeeper is unkind and righteous, Bei Zhi just thinks he is unlucky and has a little resentment. It is inevitable that anyone can curse him a few words. But if Bei Zhi wants to frame him in a false accusation and use this to retaliate against Bao Zhangguan. Sir, what kind of person are you? How can you hide these little thoughts from the adults? Besides, whether Rong Shengchang has something to do with Qinggou? This can be clear by this investigation. If Bei Zhi talks nonsense, isn't this causing trouble?"

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoming shed tears again and wiped his tears, "The young man lost his father. Although he was a Manchu, his family was poor. It can be said that before my Ming Dynasty returned to the capital, the life of the family was extremely miserable. After the Qing dog fled west, Lord Meng valued it and brought him into the office, which gave him hope. It is not an exaggeration to say that the adults are reborn parents of the manchu. It is precisely because of the Ming Dynasty and the manchus, who are here, he has lived a good life. Now my mother is able to be stable and her life is getting better day by day. Neighbors saw that the manchus had a future and asked someone to help him talk to him. In a few days, the manchus will get married. This is all the grace of the manchus! Even if the manchus are worse than pigs and dogs, he dare not deceive you in this matter!"
