Chapter 164 Someone moved the Beijing troops and horses
Gu Dayong glared at Qiu Ju and said: "Shut up, Your Majesty, nothing has happened yet. If you say this and others hear it, be careful of being taken advantage of."
Qiu Ju's expression changed slightly, he looked outside, and looked at Gu Dayong with a hint of gratitude on his face.
Gao Feng sighed softly and said, "Do you think this incident has anything to do with brother Liu Jin?"
Gu Dayong and Qiu Ju looked at each other.
Qiu Ju frowned and said: "In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Jin to do such a thing, but now everything points to Liu Jin, I am afraid that this time Liu Jin really has something to say."
Gu Dayong sneered and said: "The more you point at Liu Jin, the smaller the suspicion of Liu Jin will be. Unfortunately, with such a big mistake, Liu Jin will probably have a hard time this time."
While Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others were talking about Liu Jin, Liu Jin was mobilizing all connections in the palace and trying every means to find out the news in the palace.
Unable to contact the emperor, especially after she learned that Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and even Fei Hong, Mao Ji and others had entered the palace, Liu Jin became more and more uneasy.
At this time, Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and others had dispersed. Liu Jin was banned in the mansion by the Queen Mother's order, which made Liu Jin crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
However, Liu Jin was once a powerful being, and his connections were everywhere. Even Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and others tried their best to block the news about the emperor's assassination. However, as the cabinet began to allocate personnel from the three departments to investigate the case, Liu Jin finally
Got the news.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Liu Jin, with a look of panic on his face and said to Liu Jin: "Godfather, something happened. Something big happened this time."
This person was a member of the Criminal Ministry who was attached to Liu Jin. However, this person had only been attached to Liu Jin for a short time, so not many people knew about it.
Not long ago, Yang Tinghe transferred manpower from the Ministry of Punishment, and this person happened to get a piece of information. When this person learned that Yang Tinghe had transferred manpower from the Sansi Yamen to investigate his godfather Liu Jin, this man immediately came to see Liu Jin.
Liu Jin glanced at the man, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart, but still tried to keep calm, looked at the other person and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"
The man looked at Liu Jin and said, "Godfather, today Yang Tinghe ordered the Ministry of Punishment to dispatch several people to join the Third Division Yamen and enter the palace together. They said they wanted to investigate you, godfather."
With a bang, Liu Jin slapped his hand on the table, with a look of anger and panic on his face.
After glancing at the official from the Ministry of Justice, Liu Jin took a deep breath and said, "Is there anything else?"
The man shook his head, Liu Jin waved his hand and said: "Go down, remember to ask me for news at any time. If there is any more news, report it immediately. I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
Watching the official leave, Liu Jin finally couldn't hold it any longer. He waved his long sleeves and immediately in the living room, the tea cup smashed to pieces and even the chair fell to the floor.
After venting his anger, Liu Jin screamed with a ferocious look on his face: "Someone, bring someone to our family."
Soon, a figure appeared silently, as fast as a ghost, and fell down in front of Liu Jin.
"Butler!"
Liu Jin glanced at the man and said with a sparkle in his eyes: "Liu Xi, with your strength, is it possible to sneak into the palace and find out about His Majesty for me?"
Liu Xi said immediately after hearing this: "Don't worry, manager. With the strength of this servant, it is not difficult to sneak into the palace quietly. I just want to get close to His Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Liu Jin shook his head and said: "You don't have to approach His Majesty, but you can go find Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and even Ma Yongcheng. What happened in the imperial city and what accident happened there? Others don't know.
But it is absolutely impossible for Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, and Ma Yongcheng not to know."
Liu Xi bowed to Liu Jin and said, "I understand, slave."
Liu Jin waved his hand and said: "Get up. You must be careful when you go and don't reveal your whereabouts. Otherwise, you should understand what to do if you are discovered."
Liu Xi said in a deep voice: "I understand."
It would be fine if he sneaked into the palace like this without being discovered. Once discovered, there would only be one outcome.
In the imperial city, in a side hall, the atmosphere seemed quite solemn.
Led by cabinet minister Yang Tinghe, officials from Fei Hong, Mao Ji, and even the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were present.
A dozen senior officials can almost represent the opinions of the three divisions.
At this time, Yang Tinghe was sitting there, and the other officials took their seats.
Fei Hong looked at the crowd and said with a bit of excitement: "Everyone, this time His Majesty was assassinated, all signs point to the eunuch Liu Jin. It can be said that this is the final step for us to get rid of Liu Jin, the great eunuch who has brought disaster to the country and the people.
If you miss this good opportunity, it will not be so easy to find such a good opportunity again."
Peng Guang, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, stroked his beard and said with excitement in his eyes: "I have just briefly checked the origins of the maids serving your majesty. These people were all sent by Liu Jin a few years ago.
From the palace, not to mention other things, just for this reason, he, Liu Jin, can't even think of clearing himself from suspicion."
A censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate smiled and said: "Whether it's him Liu Jin or not, when the final result comes out, it must be him Liu Jin."
At this moment, a doctor from the Criminal Department was looking through a document and suddenly said: "If you want to turn this case into a solid case, you need to arrest one person. As long as this person insists that he is Liu Jin's
Because, coupled with the testimony of those palace maids, even if His Majesty wakes up, Liu Jin will only die."
Hearing what the doctor from the Ministry of Punishment said, Peng Guang couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Geng Li, who are you talking about?"
Geng Li smiled slightly, patted the information under everyone's gaze and said: "Everyone only knows that these palace maids were presented to His Majesty by Liu Jinjin, but they have never thought about who helped Liu Jin collect these palace ladies."
Peng Guang said subconsciously: "Qian Ning of the Jinyi Guard, if I remember correctly, in order to curry favor with Liu Jin, Qian Ning of the Jinyi Guard specially took orders from Liu Jin to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and collected a group of outstanding-looking women from the people to send as gifts.
Entered the palace."
Geng Li chuckled and said: "Yes, this is Qian Ning. All we need to do is capture Qian Ning and force him to bite Liu Jin. Then Liu Jin will be unable to do so even if he wants to throw the blame away."
Fei Hong laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "That's right. If Liu Jin wants to push Qian Ning out as a scapegoat, we will cut off his way to survive by cutting off his tail first. Then he will have nothing to say.
"
After speaking, Fei Hong looked at Yang Tinghe and said: "Mr. Yang Ge, please give me an order to order the Jinyiwei Yamen to hand over Qian Ning."
Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "I will write an order in person and then order Shi Wenyi to bring him here."
Jinyiwei Yamen
Compared with the leisurely atmosphere before, the atmosphere in Jinyiwei Yamen now seems quite solemn.
With Jin Yiwei's information channels, how could he not notice the changes in the imperial city.
The most important thing is that the emperor's bodyguards are responsible for guarding the imperial city, and the imperial guards are personally selected from among the bodyguards.
Even the commander in charge of the Imperial City Guards was also a member of their Imperial Guards. However, not long ago, there was no news about the commander of the guards.
Even the news in the Imperial City was suddenly cut off. In one word, the news in the Imperial City was completely cut off. Even the Jinyi Guards were unable to get news from the Imperial City for a while.
Shi Wenyi sat on the main seat and looked at the subordinates below.
Although everyone knows that the commander of Jin Yiwei will definitely be Li Huan in the future, Shi Wenyi is still sitting in this seat at the moment.
Qian Ning, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and others looked at Shi Wenyi with expectations in their eyes.
Our Jinyiwei actually cut off the connection with the imperial city. This is abnormal in itself. As a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, if we do nothing at this time, it would be the biggest dereliction of our Jinyiwei. Regardless of other things, we must at least contact you first.
The Son of Heaven is the one.
Feeling the eyes of his men, Shi Wenyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. With his many years of experience, he had already seen that something big might have happened in the imperial city, and it might even be related to the emperor. Otherwise, it would be impossible for even the royal guards not to get the emperor.
News from the city.
In the past two years, Qian Ning has been on Liu Jin's lap. Although he has not been able to advance step by step, he has lived a pretty good life among the Jinyi Guards.
The most important thing is that after Li Huan took control of Jin Yiwei, in order to avoid irritating Liu Jin, he did not deliberately suppress the other party. This allowed Qian Ning to still have some influence in Jin Yiwei.
At this moment, Qian Ning looked at Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Commander, shouldn't we do nothing?"
Shi Wenyi couldn't help but glared at Qian Ning and said: "Oh, what do you think we should do according to Qian Qianhu?"
Qian Ning said subconsciously: "Of course I will send someone to ask for an audience with His Majesty. As long as I can see His Majesty..."
Shi Wenyi sneered and said: "Even Eunuch Liu Jin was banned from the palace by the Queen Mother's order. Do you think that we, the Jinyi Guards, are so virtuous and capable that we can enter the imperial city to see His Majesty?"
Zhao Yi and Chen Ke sat there without saying a word. It can be said that they have been under great pressure these days.
Others didn't know what happened in the palace, but the two of them knew about the emperor's assassination in the palace because they had received the news from Qiu Ju.
But with such big news, the two little Jin Yiwei Qianhu didn't dare to do anything or even say anything except sending someone to inform Li Huan as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a group of people appeared outside the Jinyiwei Yamen. It was Geng Li, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, leading a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp.
Upon seeing this, the guard at the gate of Jinyiwei Yamen stopped him and shouted: "Who is coming? This is the important place of Jinyiwei Yamen."
Because of Li Huan's strength, Jin Yiwei has gained a little more confidence when facing court officials in the past two years.
Seeing that it was just a doctor who came, the two Jinyiwei captains naturally didn't take it to heart. As for the soldiers from the Beijing camp, to be honest, the Jinyiwei really didn't look down on them.
Geng Li sneered and shouted in a deep voice: "I have been ordered by Mr. Yang Ge to see the commander Shi Wenyi. You two have not communicated quickly."
The two imperial guards looked at each other, looked at Geng Li, and said immediately: "Wait!"
Soon one of them quickly entered the Yamen.
In the yamen, Shi Wenyi looked at the captain who came in a hurry and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?"
The school captain immediately said: "Sir, a man came from outside the Yamen and brought a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp. He said he was following the order of Mr. Yang Ge and asked to see you, Your Excellency."
When Shi Wenyi heard this, his expression changed involuntarily, and he exclaimed: "The person here has brought soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp?"
The captain nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
Shi Wenyi took a deep breath, his expression changed and he said: "Invite people here, no... I'll go see them in person."
Ordinarily, as Shi Wenyi, a mere doctor from the Ministry of Justice, he was really not qualified to meet him in person, but at this moment, Shi Wenyi felt a little unsure.
There was no news in the imperial city. At this moment, a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment unexpectedly appeared at their Jinyiwei Yamen with a team of soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp. What on earth had happened? Shi Wenyi couldn't help but be nervous.
When Shi Wenyi appeared at the entrance of Jinyiwei Yamen, he saw Geng Li and the group of Beijing troops behind him.
Seeing Shi Wenyi appear, Geng Li raised his hands to Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Shi, Geng Li, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, has met the commander."
Shi Wenyi smiled slightly and said: "I wonder if Mr. Geng came to see me, but what's the matter?"
As he spoke, Shi Wenyi stared at Geng Li, as if he wanted to see some signs from Geng Li's expression.
It's just that Geng Li's expression was indifferent, and he looked completely businesslike, making it difficult for anyone to see what he was thinking.
Geng Li could only be heard saying calmly: "On the order of the elder, I came here to arrest the suspect Jin Yiwei Qianhu Qian Ning. Please give me the command for convenience."
Shi Wenyi was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "What are you talking about, you want to arrest the suspect Qian Ning?"
Geng Li nodded and said: "Yes, Qian Ning is involved in a major case. Mr. Yang Ge personally ordered his arrest and cooperated with the investigation. I wonder what the commander thinks?"
Shi Wenyi frowned and said, "Is there any will from His Majesty?"
Whether the officials of the Imperial Guard are appointed, dismissed or punished, they all have to be approved by the emperor. After all, they are different from ordinary officials, they are the emperor's personal soldiers who belong only to the emperor.
If anyone could come over and capture the Jinyiwei people, then they would not be considered the emperor's personal soldiers.
What's more, Qian Ning is not an ordinary Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Baihu or the like, no matter how you say it, he is a powerful Qianhu official.
In their Jinyiwei yamen, there are only a few who have the power of thousands of households. Now Geng Li comes up and wants to take away a Jinyiwei official with the power of thousands of households to cooperate with the investigation. If Shi Wenyi agrees casually, then he, the commander of the Jinyiwei,
I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down anymore.
Geng Li saw that Shi Wenyi actually asked him for the emperor's will. The emperor didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment. Where could he get the emperor's will from?
Geng Li's face turned a little ugly and he said, "Don't you think Mr. Yang Ge's order is also valid?"
Shi Wenyi took a deep breath, his face was full of embarrassment, he glanced behind him, then walked towards Geng Li, and said to Geng Li in a low voice: "Mr. Yang Ge, isn't this making it difficult for me to do this? Jin Yiwei is the emperor's relative."
The army involves an official with real power of thousands of households. Without His Majesty's will, even Mr. Yang Ge will not be able to do it."
The movement at the Yamen Gate naturally alarmed Qian Ning, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and other senior officials of Jinyiwei.
These people have arrived at the door now.
Chen Ke glanced at Geng Li and his party, then his eyes fell on Shi Wenyi, who had a troubled expression on his face, and said, "Master Commander, I wonder why this person is here?"
Li Huan left the capital. Among the Jinyi Guards, although Chen Ke and Zhao Yi were only Qianhu officials, they were equivalent to Li Huan's spokespersons, so even in front of Shi Wenyi, they still had some say.
.
Shi Wenyi smiled bitterly and explained: "Mr. Geng was ordered to come here to ask Qian Ning to cooperate in the investigation. I am currently discussing with Mr. Geng."
Qian Ning didn't expect that these people were coming after him, so his expression changed, and his eyes fell on Geng Li and said: "Mr. Geng, I wonder what case Qian has committed, and you want me to cooperate with the investigation?
"
Geng Li glanced at Qian Ning indifferently and said: "There is no need for Qian Qianhu to be in charge. I am here on orders. I only ask Commander Shi Wenyi if he is willing to cooperate with the cabinet's orders."
As he spoke, Geng Li didn't care how ugly Qian Ning's face became, and stared straight at Shi Wenyi, even with a faint threatening look in his eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and even the surrounding Jinyiwei officials all looked at Shi Wenyi.
As Shi Wenyi said before, the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. Without the emperor's will, normally outsiders have no right to take away the Jinyiwei officials to cooperate with the investigation.
But rules are rules, and there are some ways to work around them. If Shi Wenyi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is willing to withstand the pressure from the cabinet, then naturally no one can take Qian Ning away.
However, if Commander Shi Wenyi is unwilling to offend the cabinet, there is still a workaround to hand over Qian Ning to the other party to take him away.
So everything depends on Shi Wenyi's attitude. Shi Wenyi is strong enough, so no one can take Qian Ning away.
Qian Ning also looked at Shi Wenyi, but her heart was full of bitterness. For some reason, Qian Ning suddenly missed Li Huanlai.
Under this scenario, if Li Huan were in Shi Wenyi's position, to be honest, even though there was some dispute between him and Li Huan, Qian Ning firmly believed that Li Huan would never let anyone take him away.
.
But Qian Ning really didn't have much confidence in Shi Wenyi.
Looking at Shi Wenyi with a hesitant look on his face, Geng Li showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He took a step forward and said to Shi Wenyi: "Master Shi, you must know that this case was handled by the Queen Mother herself. In other words,
This case is not only being watched by Mr. Ge, but also by the Queen Mother..."
Hearing what Geng Li said, Shi Wenyi's breath tightened. At this moment, Zhao Yi looked at Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Commander, please don't agree."
Chen Ke also said: "The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. Unless there is His Majesty's will, no one has the right to arrest a Jin Yiwei Qianhu."
Shi Wenyi gave a bitter smile, his eyes fell on Qian Ning and said: "Qian Ning, you have also seen it. It's not that I don't want to protect you, but there is really nothing I can do."
Qian Ning glanced at Shi Wenyi indifferently, and his heart sank. He knew that Shi Wenyi was unreliable. As expected, the other party moved out the Queen Mother and Ge Lao, and immediately suppressed Shi Wenyi.
His eyes glanced at the group of Beijing soldiers behind Geng Li, and now he noticed Qian Ning's gaze. Chen Ke couldn't help frowning and pulling Qian Ning, and shook his head slightly at Qian Ning.
Qian Ning's mind raced, and he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, in that case, then Qian will accompany Dr. Geng. Qian has a clear conscience, so how can he be afraid of others coming to investigate."
As Qian Ning turned to Chen Ke, Zhao Yi cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, thank you!"
With so many people present, only Chen Ke and Zhao Yi spoke for him just now. No matter what the outcome was, Qian Ning had remembered the relationship between the two.
Geng Li sneered and said: "Qian Qianhu, please!"
Everyone just watched Qian Ning being surrounded by a group of Beijing soldiers. Although he was not shackled, he looked like he was being taken away like a prisoner!
Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and others looked away and looked at Shi Wenyi again, with extremely complicated expressions in their eyes.
How could Shi Wenyi not feel the disappointment and alienation shown in the eyes of everyone looking at him, but he was also very helpless.
He really doesn't have the confidence to imitate Li Huan and go to the ring with the cabinet. He has a family, an elder and a younger one. If he really had Li Huan's courage, he probably wouldn't let Li Huan do it.
A person with no foundation in Jinyiwei managed to win over so many people from all over Jinyiwei in such a short period of time.
The news that Qian Ning was taken away to cooperate with the investigation soon spread throughout Jinyiwei, causing quite a stir in the entire Jinyiwei Yamen.
Chen Ke was busy handling official duties when a confidant Baihu beside him whispered: "Sir, is Qian Ning Qianhu really taken away?"
Chen Ke glanced at the other party and said, "You weren't taken away, but you were cooperating with the investigation?"
Perhaps because of Chen Ke's close confidants, the hundred households said with a bit of disdain: "It's just a nice thing to say. If any of you brothers don't know it yet, then they were taken away."
Baihu Jiangcheng said with a sneer: "Sir, you don't know, now it has spread all over the yamen."
Raising his brows, Chen Ke glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "If you don't do things properly, what are you spreading nonsense about?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "Everyone says that our commander is a softie and doesn't dare to provoke those officials. If Lord Li Huan were here, let's see who can take away Qian Ning Qianhu.
"
When Chen Ke heard this, he glared at Jiang Cheng and said, "Okay, you can talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
british government
Zhang Mao, who was dressed in regular clothes, was lying leisurely on a deck chair and basking in the sun.
Grandson Zhang Lun was accompanying Zhang Mao, telling Zhang Mao interesting things that happened in the capital. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they were enjoying themselves.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion slowed down and walked over.
Although the old butler slowed down, Zhang Lun still heard it. He raised his head and looked up. Zhang Lun smiled and said, "What can I do for you, butler?"
Generally speaking, if there is nothing important, it is impossible to disturb the old Duke Zhang Mao, so Zhang Lun looked at the housekeeper curiously.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said with a salute: "Master, Miss Jin is back!"
Zhang Mao, who had been lying on the recliner, couldn't help but sit up when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face and said: "What did you say, that girl Jin'er is back?"
Zhang Lun also looked surprised and said: "Isn't my little aunt practicing Taoism with Master Shao in Longhu Mountain? Why did you suddenly come back now?"
Zhang Jin is the youngest daughter of Zhang Mao. She is only 28 years old. However, she has believed in Taoist culture since she was a child and has read Taoist classics thoroughly. She is extremely talented in Taoism.
That year Shao Yuanjie, the great master of Longhu Mountain, was invited to preach to the British Duke Zhang Mao. Zhang Jin happened to hear it. The ten-year-old girl was able to talk about Taoist classics with Shao Yuanjie, which only made Shao Yuanjie greatly amazed.
Later, Zhang Jin asked Zhang Mao to come forward and worshiped under Shao Yuanjie's sect, and followed him to practice Taoism.
It can be said that this Jin girl did not stay in the UK for as long as she did in Longhu Mountain, but both Zhang Mao and others loved her very much.
Even Zhang Lun, the next generation of British princes, was about ten years older than Zhang Jin, the little aunt. Although she was an aunt, she doted on her as if she were a daughter.
Here Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun had just stood up when they saw a tall figure walking over. The simple and elegant Taoist robe could not hide her exquisite figure, and her black and beautiful hair was casually pulled into a bun with a jade hairpin.
Her hair is in a bun, her fair and long neck is as smooth as jade, her eyes are as bright as stars, and her lips are crimson, she is pure and refined, as calm as a fairy.
Seeing Zhang Jin's cold face, he couldn't help but burst out into a stunning smile when he saw Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun.
His steps were light and his figure was as graceful as a fairy. With just a few steps, he had already crossed a distance of more than ten feet and appeared in front of Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun.
If he is not the apple of the British prince's eye, who is Zhang Jin, who is known as the reviled fairy among the nobles of the capital?
Zhang Jin stepped forward and saluted Zhang Mao Yingying and said, "My daughter pays homage to your father!"
Zhang Mao looked at Zhang Jin and couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing loudly: "Girl, why are you back! Shao Yuanjie's old boss also wrote a letter earlier saying that your practice has reached a critical juncture. If you can't make a breakthrough, you won't be back in a short time.
of."
At this moment, Zhang Lun smiled and saluted Zhang Jin: "My nephew has met my little aunt."
Zhang Jin chuckled and said: "Lun'er is becoming more and more like a young master!"
Zhang Lun couldn't help but blush when he heard this and said: "Auntie is teasing my nephew again!"
Zhang Mao pulled Zhang Jin to sit down, looked Zhang Jin up and down, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Our Jin'er is becoming more and more beautiful, and I don't know which bastard will be taken advantage of in the future!"
Even though he was as cold as Zhang Jin, he couldn't help but blush on his pretty face after hearing Zhang Mao's words.
However, her years of spiritual practice still prevented her from being too affected. She casually took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Maodao: "Father, this is the letter that Master asked me to bring to you."
Zhang Mao took the letter and tore it open while saying with a smile: "I don't know what's going on with this old Niubi. Can't you tell me? What else should I write..."
As he spoke, Zhang Mao's eyes had already fallen on the letter. Soon Zhang Mao let out a light sigh, then raised his head and glanced at Zhang Jin, with a slight smile on his lips.
Zhang Lun sat aside and saw Zhang Mao's reaction, with a look of curiosity on his face. Zhang Mao casually handed the letter to Zhang Lun and said with a smile, "Take a look too!"
Although Zhang Jin noticed the look that Zhang Mao looked at her, she had always had a quiet temperament. Although she guessed that the content of the letter was probably related to her, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
Zhang Lun had already finished reading the contents of the letter, and as expected, his eyes were also on Zhang Jin.
Putting the letter away, Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao with a chuckle and said, "Grandpa, what do you think of what Master Shao said?"
Zhang Mao stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't tell me, that old cow doesn't have the ability to have a big nose, but he still has the ability to get along with people. Since he said that, it is credible."
As he spoke, Zhang Mao glanced at Zhang Jin and said with a smile: "Besides, Jin'er has reached the age of marriage, and it's time to find a good son-in-law for her!"
Zhang Jin, who was picking up a cup of tea and had just taken a sip, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words. Then he realized that he couldn't help but have a blush on his delicate jade face. This trace of daughter's shyness finally disappeared from her body.
The elegant and fairy-like temperament makes it a little more earthly.
"Dad, my daughter is devoted to the Tao and has sworn long ago not to engage in worldly affairs!"
Zhang Maohan said with a smile: "Silly girl, your daughter's family will eventually get married, and practicing Taoism will not prevent you from getting married. And this is the reason why your master asked you to come back this time."
Zhang Jin was stunned at this moment, with a bit of surprise and contemplation on his pretty face.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Mao said to Zhang Lun: "Lun'er, show Jin'er the letter from Master Shao and let her see what Master Shao said."
Zhang Jin actually believed Zhang Mao's words now. Even if he wanted to make fun of her, he would not make fun of such a thing.
However, Zhang Jin still took the letter and read it. Sure enough, just as Zhang Mao said, Shao Zhenren said in the letter that her marriage was about to come when the red luan star moved.
Seeing his daughter's reaction, Zhang Mao stroked his beard and chuckled: "Your master said that your marriage is about to happen if the red star moves. Now you have nothing to say."
Soon Zhang Jin came to his senses and said with a chuckle: "In this case, my daughter will have to go through this world. Master once said that when you enter the world, you will be born. If you don't know, you can forget your love. Since it is a destined marriage, my daughter is...
Let’s see which man in this world is worthy of a daughter.”
As he spoke, an aloof and arrogant temperament arose spontaneously, as if he were a banished immortal. Even though he was wearing a Taoist robe, his noble aura blended with his elegant and immortal temperament, making him radiant and dazzling.
, dare not look directly.
Even Zhang Lun couldn't help but sigh when he saw his little aunt being so gorgeous. Is there really anyone in this world who can be worthy of her?
On the other hand, Zhang Mao stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, Jin'er, the children from all the families in the capital, let you choose which one you like. Just tell your father."
While he was talking, the old housekeeper hurried over with a burly man.
Zhang Mao glanced at him, and his temperament immediately changed. A chilling aura was revealed. The change in Zhang Mao's temperament naturally attracted Zhang Jin and Zhang Lun to look at the visitor.
Wu Shikang, the commander of the troops and horses in the Beijing camp, was a member of the British government. He was promoted from the army by Zhang Mao and was in charge of the first battalion of the Beijing camp. He could be regarded as a powerful figure in the capital.
At this time, Wu Shikang came close, paid homage to Zhang Mao, and bowed directly to Zhang Mao: "Wu Shikang, pay homage to the Duke of the country."
Zhang Mao nodded slightly and said: "Get up!"
Wu Shikang then stood up, and then saluted Zhang Lun respectfully: "I have met my young master, Miss Jin!"
Zhang Mao frowned and said, "Looking at your hurried appearance, could it be that something happened in the Beijing camp?"
Wu Shikang said solemnly: "My lord, the Ministry of War has come and transferred a battalion of soldiers and horses with the official documents of the Ministry of War. The general felt that something was wrong, so he came to report to the lord of Ming Dynasty."
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Mao's eyes, and his rickety body suddenly straightened up. He stared straight at Wu Shikang and said: "What are you talking about? The Ministry of War has transferred a battalion of soldiers and horses? What is it for? But
Through the cabinet?”
Wu Shikang said slowly: "The Ministry of War's writings followed normal procedures. As for the purpose of mobilizing troops and horses, I asked, but the other party ignored me at all. The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong, so I had no choice but to come to see the Duke.
.”
Zhang Lun and Zhang Jin naturally knew that in this important place in the capital, the mobilization of more than a dozen soldiers and horses, let alone a battalion, could not be underestimated.
Although Zhang Mao has long stopped intervening in the affairs of the Beijing camp, Zhang Mao is the admiral of the Beijing camp anyway. This means that if anything happens to the Beijing camp, the first person to stand up and take responsibility is
Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao tapped the table gently with one hand, his eyes flashed with light, and he muttered for a moment before saying: "Wu Shikang, please immediately send me an order to have all the generals in the Beijing camp return to the camp to take charge. If I don't and
His Majesty's decree is that no one is allowed to leave the camp."
Wu Shikang said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order."
As he said this, Wu Shikang looked at Zhang Mao with a hint of worry: "But if someone else uses the Ministry of War's instructions to mobilize troops..."
Zhang Mao glanced at Wu Shikang lightly and said, "Then let him come to find me first."
Wu Shikang said solemnly: "The general understands."
Seeing Wu Shikang's figure hurried away, Zhang Mao frowned and said to Zhang Lun: "Go, send someone to find out if something big happened in the capital. Why did the Ministry of War send someone to transfer a battalion of soldiers for no reason?
Horses, and you can find out clearly for me, where did that battalion of soldiers and horses go and what did they do?"
Zhang Lun immediately stood up and said, "My grandson, go and do it now."
After arranging these, Zhang Mao's aura of chilling dissipated and he returned to the appearance of a kind old man. He looked at Zhang Jin who was sitting quietly aside with a smile and said: "Come, tell me as a father, you are like this."
How have you been practicing for two years?"
But it was said that Qian Ning followed Geng Li out of the Jinyiwei Yamen, was shackled halfway, and was taken directly to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
