The man in green, surrounded by several royal guards, had a smile on his tense face.
He bowed and said, "I've seen you before..."
"Hey, scold me!" Li Jinglong stopped and pretended to be angry, "Are you kidding me?"
The man smiled bitterly, "I dare not..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jinglong took a step forward, grabbed the other person's head with his arms, and immediately lost his mind, "Guo Xiaosi, I haven't seen you for a few years, have you learned how to make a scene?"
As he spoke, he rubbed the other person's head and said, "Have you forgotten that when you were a child, you used a slingshot to shoot my horse? I was such a good horse that you blinded me!"
"Ha!" The man in green smiled and pushed Li Jinglong away calmly, "Wasn't the lower official ignorant at that time?"
After saying that, he gently straightened his clothes and put two steps away from Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong laughed heartily, and his face seemed to be filled with joy of meeting old friends again.
Then, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you!"
With that said, he quickly pulled Zhao Shi over and said, "This is the eldest son of the Marquis Cheng'en family, brother-in-law of Long Live Lord, and uncle of the state!"
The man in green robes quickly leaned over and said, "I am a humble official, Monk Guo, but I have seen Uncle Guo!"
"How dare you!" Zhao Shi waved his hands in panic, "This gentleman is so polite!"
He had never heard of this name, but when he saw this person, he knew that this person had an extraordinary status, because behind him stood several Jinyi guards like personal soldiers, and their clothes were all of Qianhu grade.
Moreover, it is not the ordinary thousand households, but the hereditary thousand households. Because in addition to the knives, they also have Yu Bing knives hanging on their waists. This kind of Yu Bing knives, which are exquisitely crafted and valuable, are among the wealthy children of the Ming Dynasty.
of standard configuration.
In other words, the few low-key Jinyiwei Qianhu in front of us are probably due to the merits of their fathers and ancestors, and they are hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu.
"This!" Li Jinglong began to introduce Guo Guanseng to Zhao Shi again, "The youngest son of the Duke of Shaanxi is ranked fourth! When he was a child, he always ran after me." After saying that, he looked at Guo Guanseng again, "I remember you are the fourth eldest son!"
You have been working as a guard in the palace for one year, so you are in my class, right?"
"Cao Guogong has a good memory!" Guo Guanseng smiled.
When Li Jinglong said this, Zhao Shi knew who the person in front of him was.
The youngest nephew of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, the old son of the late Shaanxi Duke Guo Xing, the nephew of the late Concubine Guo Ning, and the cousin of the late King Lu...
He is a descendant of a distinguished family of Huaixi heroes!
"Why are you here?" Li Jinglong asked again, "The flood in Huaibei caused you...?"
"The official has been transferred to the capital. After receiving the imperial decree, he rushed over from Fengyang to arrest the criminals in the salt smuggling case!" Guo Guanseng said in a very decent manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
"This guy was originally the commander of the Jinyi Guards left behind in Fengyang. Now he has been transferred to the capital?"
Li Jinglong was shocked, "To arrest officials involved in illegal salt trading, the emperor did not use the royal guards from the capital, but people from Zhongdu?"
He was thinking in his mind, still smiling, "Hey, isn't that a promotion?" He said with a smile, "Tell me, what is your current official position?"
Guo Guanseng smiled but said nothing.
"You're still hiding it from me?" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I'll report it back to the imperial palace. Do I still know?"
Guo Guanseng glanced at Zhao Shi from the corner of his eyes and said, "Thanks to the Emperor's favor, I am fortunate enough to be appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guards! I will be in charge of affairs!"
"Oh?" Even though Li Jinglong was experienced and experienced, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Jinyiwei Commander Tongzhi, from the third rank, the deputy of the Jinyiwei Commander.
You must know that He Guangyi took over the position of commander of Jinyiwei and became the capital of Jinyiwei, taking over from Jiang Yu.
Is this Guo Guan monk in front of me the next Jin Yiwei Dutang?
The full name of the commander of Jinyiwei is printed on the guard hall of the commander-in-chief, so it is called Dutang.
Guo Guanseng, a colleague, also holds the palm seal... and is a deputy with great power!
Before he could digest this in his mind, Li Jinglong almost screamed in surprise the next second.
Then I heard Guo Guanseng continue to say, "Master the seal!"
Zhao Shi couldn't understand these official positions, but Li Jinglong became more and more surprised.
"This Siyin, where are you...?"
Guo GuanSeng smiled and said, "Zhang Nan Zhen Fu Si Yin!"
"It's broken. Is Lao He going to be in trouble?"
Li Jinglong was shocked in his heart, "Did he do something that dissatisfied Long Live Master? He's such a good boy, why did he get a big boss on his head?"
Jinyiwei North Town Fusi is for external use, and South Town Fusi is for internal use!
Beizhen Fusi handles external investigations, handling cases, interrogations, and prisons.
Nanzhen Fusi's only task is to investigate the internal problems of Jinyiwei.
"No, with Mr. Long Live's temperament, if he feels that Mr. He is no longer useful, just replace him. Besides, Mr. Long Live is obviously looking up to Lao He and gives him an errand in the Institute of Integrity! Then why did he send the Guo family to another job?
Are your disciples to be promoted to Imperial Guardsmen?"
Li Jinglong's mind was in a mess and he couldn't think clearly.
But he couldn't be silent at this moment. He could only forcefully smile and said, "Congratulations to my dear brother!"
Just now I called him Guo Xiaosi, now I call him Xiandi!
Later, Li Jinglong asked, "Have all the criminals involved in the illegal salt case been arrested?"
"Anyway, everything in the emperor's handwriting is here!" Guo Guanseng pointed to the prison cars and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Cao Guo, you have something you have seen and you don't know whether to say it or not?"
"Let's talk about our relationship!" Li Jinglong laughed.
"The officers arrested Mr. Qian of the Hedao Yamen and the Qianhu of the Marine Battalion. They said that the reason why those private salt ships were released was because they had the order from your government... They also said that it was from the government.
...." Guo Guanseng deliberately slowed down his speaking voice and looked at Li Jinglong's expression.
If Li Jinglong didn't come up to him when he saw him, he would pinch his head and flick his brain to death, he would not say these words.
At least I won't say it in front of Uncle Guo, but... Li Jinglong always plays the role of the eldest brother... Then I have to give him a few words!
But he was disappointed!
What he saw was Li Jinglong's rare and ferocious face.
"How much do you know about this case?" Li Jinglong's mouth twitched, "Humph, it has something to do with my family? Huh, can a few kittens and puppies get involved in my family?" Then he said coldly, "You won't listen.
Wind is rain, right?”
Guo Guanseng was born well, but his father died early!
Moreover, he is also very different from Li Jinglong.
Besides, he, Li Jinglong, has seen too many verbal tricks like this. How can he be afraid of you, Guo Xiaosi?
Of course Li Jinglong would shy away from Guo Laosi, but you are not the fourth, you are the junior!
When Guo Guanseng heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "I'm just telling you, who are you, how can you be involved in such a thing?"
Between the two people, there was a faint smell of gunpowder for some reason in the three glances and two words.
Even Zhao Shi heard this.
Li Jinglong also smiled with disdain, "Even if I am involved, it's normal. There are too many people working under my banner, and I can't control them!" He said, smiling again, "Even if I am really involved, please tell me something nice.
Yes, Long Live Lord will make the decision for me!"
Guo Guanseng's face suddenly became confused. Li Jinglong's implication was that with his status, let alone such a trivial matter, as long as it was not a serious crime of treason, the emperor would not do anything to him!
"In that case, they are talking nonsense!" Guo Guanseng smiled, waved his hand and said to the people around him, "Go, cut out their tongues and let them talk nonsense!"
"Here!" Several subordinates said nothing nonsense, took out the jade-handled knives from their waists and ran towards the prison car.
Not long after, a piercing scream sounded, making people's temples ache.
"You..." Zhao Shi couldn't help but said, "How can we interrogate the prisoner if his tongue is cut out?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Guo!" Guo Guanseng said with a smile, "They can still write even if their tongues are gone!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Guo, Duke Cao, I can't stay as a low-ranking official for long, so I'm going to resign now!"
"Okay, let's go back to the capital and have a drink together!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Then I'll be waiting for your post!" Guo Guanseng smiled again, and then said as if he just remembered, "By the way, you didn't know it yet! My fourth uncle will come to Huai'an soon! He will be in charge of military affairs in Huaibei!"
