A group of Jinyi guards were walking majestically on the street, holding not the embroidered spring knife that marked their identity, but a mallet in their hands, which was really shocking. Fortunately, although there seemed to be a lot of mallets in the box,
There were only more than thirty swords. Except for the young and energetic captains in imperial robes, the more mature ones still clutched the scabbards in their hands and followed their young colleagues.
Therefore, even though a group of Jin Yiwei rushed out of the station with these things in their hands, everyone on the street knew that this group of Jin Yiwei was causing trouble and fighting today. This kind of thing, this kind of scene, everyone
How could they miss it, so they followed Jin Yiwei in twos and threes, not wanting to be outdone by others, intending to watch the adventure and gain some bragging rights after returning.
Fifty or sixty Jin Yiwei, plus more and more idle people, when this team entered the Sihai Guild Hall, there were already almost a hundred people. On the second floor of the Sihai Guild Hall, Rong Shubo's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.
Looking at the crowd passing by downstairs, I don't know what to think.
Unintentionally, a familiar figure fell into his eyes. Liu Zigu followed the team in front of him not far away, seemingly intending to join in the fun.
He lowered his head and said a few words to his servant, who hurried downstairs. Not long after, Liu Zigu was brought up.
"What's wrong with my nephew today? He passed by the guild hall and didn't come up to sit down. Are he going to advance and retreat together with Qian Baihu?" Rong Shubo actually still doesn't know what happened, but he believes that Liu Zigu should
Know.
"Uncle Rong Shi wants to ask why all the Jin Yiwei are dispatched!" Liu Zigu was called up, and he felt really anxious. After a while, he didn't know where Qian Wubing and the others were looking for bad luck.
No.
"Oh, my nephew knows?" Rong Shubo asked.
"It seems that someone from a merchant's shop beat up two of Qian Baihu's Jin Yiwei men. Isn't Qian Baihu going to seek bad luck on the other side?" Liu Zigu told what he knew, but he was anxious.
About to leave: "Uncle Shi, I'll excuse you now. I have to go and have a look!"
"Why are you following me?" When Rong Shubo heard this reason, his eyebrows twitched: "We'll find out after Qian Baihu has finished handling this matter and asked. If you go, not only can't you help,
On the contrary, it is easy to cause trouble, just ask a few servants to take a look, we will drink tea here, and it will not delay us to know how things are going!"
Rong Shubo is really protective of Liu Zigu. If the Jin Yiwei's attitude is not good, it will lead to a melee. If it doesn't work well, the prefect's Yamen and the Military and Horse Department will have to come forward. This kind of thing, their businessmen are involved, but
Not necessarily a good thing.
Seeing what Rong Shubo said, Liu Zigu had no choice but to stay. Rong Shubo called his servants and gave a few instructions. The servants nodded and left in a hurry.
Time passed by minute by second, and Liu Zigu was a little restless. Finally, almost half an hour later, the first news finally came through.
"Master Qian took the Jin Yiwei to the shop on the other side of South Street. The shop over there had already received the message and was closing. The Jin Yiwei broke in and smashed the shop to pieces!"
"Didn't start a fight?" Liu Zigu was a little surprised, while Rong Shubo couldn't see his expression.
After another incense stick, the second news came: "The people from the prefect's Yamen have also arrived, but it seems that the Jin Yiwei has communicated with them. Those officials still have seals in their hands and are preparing to seal the shop.
!”
"Is this the end?" Liu Zigu felt that it was anticlimactic. The other party was so bold that he even dared to attack the Jin Yiwei. He just let the prefect's Yamen seal the shop. This was too stupid, right?
"It's not that simple!" Rong Shubo snorted, "My dear nephew, your father is also an official of the Ministry of Industry. Does your shop have the courage to beat up the Jin Yiwei who comes to the door?"
Liu Zigu smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was living his leisure life too comfortably. Are you kidding? His father is the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, and he doesn't have the courage. However, what if his father got involved with the minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Yes, you can consider it.
"Wait a minute, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!" Rong Shubo took a sip of tea calmly and said leisurely, the business of Sihai Guild Hall is getting better day by day, and many of the directors of the Guild Hall are concerned about their own actions.
With so many resources, they could only get one-third of the benefits, which was quite embarrassing. Naturally, they had no complaints against the princes and the others. However, the Jinyiwei maintained the law and order and ran errands, so they took one-third and left.
, this is too easy.
Wang Gonggong still has face in Dongchang. Compared with Dongchang, this Jinyiwei is suspected of being a bit outdated. This sudden emergence of such a position is a good way to call Jinyiwei a good person. Different from Liu Zigu, Rong
Uncle Shu was old and mature. When he saw Qian Wubing's formation, he knew that the person who attacked the Jin Yiwei was definitely not an ordinary person. If they were ordinary merchants and common people, the Jin Yiwei would just take it. No matter how capable those guards were, how could they still dare to fight against them?
The government cannot rebel.
Jin Yiwei did not send anyone to capture this person, which means that even if he takes this person, he may not be able to get it. Is there anyone else in Nanjing whom Jin Yiwei would not dare to arrest without the will? Anyone with a little bit of brains can think of this.
Seeing the profound look on Rong Shubo's face, Liu Zigu acted like a good junior who was not ashamed to ask questions: "Uncle Shi, tell me, nephew, why do you think this matter is not answered simply?"
"Qian Baihu, you are trying to make things bigger. You and Qian Baihu have always been on good terms. Do you think he is someone who is easily bullied?"
"I don't think so. I do think Wu Bian is a little less like Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei doesn't bully others, but lets others bully them. Is this still the way of the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Zigu thought for a while and laughed.
"Anyone who dares to attack Jin Yiwei will undoubtedly have support behind him. Let me ask you, who is Qian Baihu's support behind him?"
"Of course it's our prince!" Liu Zigu replied nonchalantly. Suddenly, he took a breath and suddenly understood the meaning of Rong Shubo's words: "Ah, you mean, this is the prince."
Father-in-law and the people in the city..."
Rong Shubo lowered his head to drink tea, but did not answer his words. Liu Zigu sat in a daze. For a moment, he felt that he was too naive.
"Wait a minute. If the other party just asked Qian Baihu to close the shop, it would be a good thing worth celebrating for us. However, I guess it won't be that easy!"
Sure enough, just as Rong Shubo said, after a stick of incense, the news came again.
"The younger brother-in-law of Uncle Ping'an's family took his family to South Street. It turned out that Jin Yiwei destroyed his shop. Now the people of Uncle Ping'an's family have already taken action..."
"Who won?" Liu Zigu suddenly stood up.
"When the villain reported back, where was he being beaten?" The servant's face was bruised, and he obviously suffered some unreasonable disaster.
Liu Zigu couldn't help but feel leisurely and fascinated when he heard that the other side was still playing. Unfortunately, he was not there. He sighed and sat down, and couldn't help but worry: "I don't know how Wuyi is doing now!"
At the same time, outside Nanjing, on a carriage, a delicate girl was dragging her chin with her hands, looking at the walls of this thousand-year-old city that was once the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty from the window, muttering to herself:
: “I don’t know how Wuyi is doing now!”
In the carriage, there was also a middle-aged man in his forties with gray hair on his temples. He looked at the girl with blurred eyes and touched her head lovingly: "Silly girl, I have been saying this to you so many times along the way.
I wonder if everything was made clear in Bing and Huchen's letters. They are doing very well now. This girl's life is much better than your mother's. Once she gets married, she will be Mrs. Baihu. Your father and I knew that Wu Bing was not sick.
This little guy will definitely be promising in the future. When we first got married, your mother was not satisfied with it! Thanks to me for persisting!"
The middle-aged man smiled cheerfully, with a sense of contentment between his brows.
The young girl and the middle-aged man in the carriage were naturally Wu Yanran and Wu Dazhong, who had come all the way. As soon as they received Qian Wubing's letter, the two of them set off towards Nanjing without much delay. Wu Yanran was just that.
, they haven’t seen each other for several months. Even if he wants to talk to his sweetheart, he is still very reserved when facing his father. But Wu Dazhong is different. He has been in the flag guard for most of his life. After seeing this person too many times, he will be able to ascend to heaven.
What happened is that his future son-in-law suddenly became a member of a hundred households, and his youngest son He entered Jinyiwei. For him, this was a major event in the family!
Besides, in the colorful world of Nanjing, Qian Wubing was young and not old enough. He suddenly had an official position, so it was easy to be tempted. What if some vixen took advantage of Qian Wubing's absence while his daughter was not with him?
If he enters, his daughter will cry to death. He cannot take this risk. Therefore, he has to go to Nanjing as soon as possible to see the boy. Even if the marriage is not consummated now, other people must not take advantage of it.
In Wu Dazhong's eyes, the wealth of the Qian family and the Wu family in this life will probably fall on Qian Wubing. If such a good son-in-law becomes someone else's son-in-law, then he will not be able to shut up even if he dies.
Eye-catching.
"The letter said that Wu Bing and Hu Chen bought a house. He has only been an official for a short time. How can he have so much money to buy a house in this city?" Wu Yanran turned around and said: "Dad, this
How many times have you said this along the way, don’t say this again, I would be so embarrassed if Wuyi heard it!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore!" Wu Dazhong said with a smile: "Now that you are an official, are you still short of money? You are really worried, you think Wu Bing is your unsatisfactory big brother
Ah, after working as a jobber for several years, I still get that little salary!"
In the carriage, the two people chatted more and more as they entered Nanjing City, and their moods also became excited with the sound of the carriage rolling on the bluestone. In the sunshine, this carriage,
Along the river bank, they walked slowly towards their destination.
