Chapter 194: I don't know whether to live or die, Zhang Guowei
Zhang Guowei's deputy general military officer's office is located next to the inspector's office in the east gate. It is a courtyard with four entrances. The first two entrances are the official rooms, the residence of the officers in the department, the military prison, etc. The third entrance is Zhang Guowei's daily life.
It is where official business is done, and the fourth entrance belongs to the inner chamber.
At dusk on May 30th, Zhang Cheng came to the Deputy General Military Officer's Office in Yongning City to pay homage to Zhang Guowei. Four guards were left in the gatehouse and were not allowed to enter. Only a black-faced strong man followed him into the office.
They followed a servant who led the way to the door of Zhang Guowei's study. Zhang Cheng took off his black robe and handed it to the black-faced man, then took off the bamboo hat on his head and handed it to him, saying: "Wait outside.
With."
"Here!"
The black-faced strong man responded angrily and stood outside the door without following Zhang Cheng inside. At the same time, he also took off the bamboo hat on his head. Only then did he see clearly that this man was actually the extremely ferocious big monkey named Mingli!
After taking off the outer black burqa, Zhang Cheng was actually wearing the uniform of a third-grade military attache underneath. He entered the study and clasped his fists and saluted: "Zhang Cheng, see Deputy Commander Zhang!"
Zhang Guowei hurriedly stood up to greet him. He took Zhang Cheng's hand and said enthusiastically: "Oh, it's the divine wind that blew Brother Zhang to Yongning. Why don't you report it earlier? Brother, I have to say it."
Come out of the city to welcome us!"
Zhang Cheng hurriedly took a step back and said: "How can Zhang Cheng be so virtuous and capable? How dare he work? Deputy Commander Zhang came to greet me. He came unexpectedly today. He came to the door without asking for permission. This is extremely rude. Please forgive me, Deputy Commander. Don't
The only thing to blame is."
"Hey, if Brother Zhang can come over to talk to each other, it's because he is thinking about him in his heart. It's too late to be happy. How can I bear to blame him? Come on, sit down and drink tea..." Zhang Guowei pulled him with great enthusiasm.
Zhang Cheng sat down.
If Zhang Cheng didn't know what kind of person he was, he would have been deceived by his superficial skills.
The two of them kept chatting in the study. During this period, Zhang Guowei enthusiastically poured tea for Zhang Cheng, but he did not mention a word about Ning Guangyuan and Jin Xiaoguo.
Zhang Cheng couldn't continue chatting with him endlessly, so he drank a few more sips of tea and said directly: "Zhang Cheng suddenly came here today, but he encountered a problem, so he came to ask the deputy commander for help."
"Oh? Brother Zhang is now the admiral of the North Road, commanding tens of thousands of troops. Why should you ask me to help you? Isn't this a joke!" Zhang Guowei laughed with a smile on his face.
Zhang Cheng also had a wry smile on his face, but how could he not lower his head when he was under the eaves, so he could only say in a low voice: "Deputy Commander Zhang doesn't know something. Zhang Cheng has an uncle-in-law who is the most playful.
Ever since Mo Jiang got married, he had been wandering among the lakes and mountains on the North Road and never looked back. But he had fallen in love with a woman from the smoke dust some time ago. Somehow, a few days ago, he had an affair with a commander under Mo Jiang’s command.
We met and came to East Road.
Zhang Cheng was afraid that he would cause trouble in Yongning and make things difficult for the deputy commander, so he came all night long to take him back to Chicheng, but he couldn't find him in the city, so he had to go to the deputy commander for advice!"
A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across Zhang Guowei's face. After a long time, he finally said: "Zhongchen, when you said that, I remembered something. Tong Shouwei came to report a few days ago.
It is said that Dongshan's "Tianbawang" tried to rob my uncle's newly married concubine, but was killed on the spot and captured two of them. Now they are in the military prison of the garrison. They are waiting to be verified tomorrow.
Mingzheng canon punishment.
But this ‘Tianbawang’ is a huge thief from our east route, and I have attacked him many times. However, this guy is extremely cunning, and he escapes every time. He will definitely not be involved with Brother Zhang, your wife and uncle.”
Zhang Cheng's heart thumped, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He said: "Deputy Commander, can these two people allow Zhang Cheng to see me? Although my wife's uncle is a bit playful, he will not hook up with Ju Li.
Thief, there may be some misunderstanding here, Zhang Cheng will investigate in detail and report the reason to the Vice Marshal."
Zhang Guowei did not reply. He picked up the tea cup and sipped the fragrant tea carefully. After a moment, he said: "I don't think so. According to Tong Shoubei's report, this group of thieves is extremely vicious. They must be the Dongshan giant. No.
There will be mistakes.”
A fierce light flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, but disappeared in an instant. He still begged: "Zhang Cheng just wants to see him. If he is really that Dongshan gangster, he is willing to carry out the prison sentence for the deputy commander. But if it is my family
My uncle-in-law, I hope the deputy commander can let him go!"
Zhang Guowei drank tea and said casually: "Actually, if Brother Zhang has such doubts, it would be okay to go and see him. But this man is in the garrison prison, and it is not convenient for me to intervene."
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head when he heard what he said, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, my family is unfortunate, so Zhang Cheng has no choice but to take the liberty of going to the garrison office to find this Tong Shoubei to express his favor."
Zhang Guowei said: "Brother Zhang must also be considerate. Although I am the deputy general of the East Route Assistant Guards, I am not under the control of the general, garrison, and guard of the separate guards. I cannot help Zhang in this matter."
Brother, I feel really ashamed!"
Zhang Cheng said "I understand, I understand", refused Zhang Guowei's kind invitation to stay, and left the Deputy General Military Officer's Office.
…………
Zhang Cheng left the Deputy General Military Office and rushed to the garrison office to the west. The garrison office was smaller in size than the Deputy General Military Office and the Inspector General's Office. It was a courtyard with three entrances.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was extremely dark at the end of the month. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Zhang Cheng led four guards alone to the gate of the garrison and handed over his name card and waistband.
Card.
Dahou, who had just accompanied him into the Deputy General's Office, left at some unknown time and was no longer with Zhang Cheng to protect his safety.
The soldiers guarding the door looked careless. They couldn't understand what was written on the name card at all. They just asked Zhang Cheng to wait outside the door before going in to report.
After a while, he trotted all the way back, knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng and saluted, saying: "This little man has eyesight but doesn't recognize General Zhang. Please don't blame General Zhang."
After saying that, he stood up and clasped his fists again and said: "My lord respectfully invites General Zhang to enter the house."
Zhang Cheng followed the soldier with four guards and slowly walked into the garrison until he reached the official hall in the middle hall, but did not see Yongning garrison Tong Shouxin.
Just when Zhang Cheng was confused, the soldier said: "My garrison master asked General Zhang to wait a moment. He will come to see General Zhang soon."
Zhang Cheng didn't take it seriously and sat down on the big chair next to him. The soldier made tea for him. Zhang Cheng also waited leisurely, seemingly not in a hurry.
After a while, the hall door opened, and a muscular man with big shoulders and round waist walked in. As soon as he entered, he loudly said: "General Yongning Guard Tong Shouxin pays homage to Admiral Zhang."
