Li Jinglong frowned and turned around, vaguely seeing his own soldiers stopping a general.
The burly man looked like a martial artist at first glance. When he saw Li Jinglong turning around, he immediately opened his voice and continued to shout, "Master, this is a humble position!"
"who?"
The man shouted loudly, but Li Jinglong still acted as if he hadn't seen him. He stretched his neck and looked around suspiciously, "Who shouted? Who?"
"My father-in-law, I am a humble minister! I worked for my old master back then, and last year I even went to my house to kowtow to you during the Chinese New Year... Oh! My father-in-law, please help me..."
As Hou Er was shouting, suddenly several guards in golden uniforms rushed out from behind him, grabbed his neck and directly carried his arms, then held his head and pushed him down.
At this scene, everyone on the city wall suddenly changed their colors.
The Huai'an garrison must at least be a guerrilla general, a serious mid-level general of the Ming Dynasty, just let the Jin Yiwei suppress him?
Are the Jin Yiwei too domineering? Then...the two battalions of soldiers under the Huai'an garrison name?
Everyone was in a daze, but Li Jinglong was still looking around, frowning and saying, "Who called me just now?" After saying that, without waiting for others to speak, he shook his head and said, "Hey, I haven't slept well these days, there is always noise in my ears.
of!"
As he said that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the city and have a rest!"
With his behavior, others really thought that he didn't hear anyone calling him. Even Zhao Shi next to him was a little confused. Could it be that Cao Guogong really didn't hear someone calling him? Impossible, such a big man was not far away.
How could you not see him when you waved to him?
He followed Li Jinglong in confusion, thinking as he walked, so his pace inevitably slowed down a bit.
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly discovered that the captain of Li Jinglong's personal soldiers, a man named Li Xiaowai, took two of Li Jinglong's personal soldiers and dragged them to the corner where they were not paying attention.
Snap!
Two crunchy big-eared melon seeds.
"How do I teach you on weekdays? If someone wants to see the master, they should first ask if the master has seen him, and you just let the person come over? Those who suffer from the mother-in-law will have half a year's monthly salary deducted from each person! Next time, they will be kicked out of the Duke's mansion.
, let your whole family drink from the northwest wind!"
After hearing this, Zhao Shi understood.
Li Jinglong didn't see it, he was pretending not to see it!
He suddenly remembered what Li Jinglong taught him: sacrifice those who deserve to be sacrificed, let go of those who deserve to be sacrificed, be confused when it's time to be confused, and pretend not to know when it's time to...
Just as he was thinking about it, his feet suddenly stopped and he almost hit someone.
When he looked up, he saw Li Jinglong with a smile on his face.
As if he could guess what Zhao Shi was thinking, Li Jinglong said with a smile, "That man is the Huai'an garrison. He was able to get this lucrative position on the canal because he took my path in the first place!" He said, sighing, "All in all, it's okay.
He is really an old friend of my family. His father used to feed my father's horses. When he was ten years old, he followed my father in the northern expedition and was one of the first death squads to attack the upper capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty."
Zhao Shi couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you...?"
"He walked the road, how can I save him? Besides, old friends are old friends, feelings are feelings, principles are principles, and national laws are national laws. Sometimes all of this can be unclear, but sometimes it must be clear!
"
Li Jinglong sighed again, "Besides, my family has a lot of old friends. If everyone comes to ask for help, not to mention whether I can help them all, let alone do I have that ability?"
At this point, Li Jinglong smiled again, hugged Zhao Shi's shoulders affectionately, and whispered, "Uncle Guo, you are still young. You have never left the capital since you were a child, and you have never left the eyes of the emperor and the empress.
, you don’t know how bad this person’s heart is?”
"Take the Huai'an garrison for example. What did he want to do with me? He must have caused trouble? He caused trouble, and then he came to me in public and asked me about his relationship with my family. Do you think he came to beg for help?
Me, or are you here to harm me?"
Zhao Shi is just young, not stupid. He is just young, not stupid. The cause and effect relationship here can be understood as soon as you think about it.
Li Jinglong continued, "If I see him, I will be dragged into the water by him! It will be like stepping on stinky shit without knowing it! Uncle Guo, you have to remember that our status does not mean that we will not be plotted by others.
.These people below have no limits on what they can do. If something goes wrong, they want to cling to us and use us as a shield. They can even throw dirty water on us just to survive!"
"So, when we treat people, we should treat them with gentleness and gentleness, but at the same time, we should treat them at a respectful distance."
Li Jinglong continued in a low voice, "It's just like borrowing money. Since ancient times, people have been helping the urgent rather than the poor. This is true even for brothers. When you are a person or an official, you must do yourself first. If you are good to yourself, others can ask for it."
"Whoever you help, the person who gets the job will get the chance. You need to provide help in times of need, and you need to add the icing on the cake. Try not to do it to add insult to injury. Kill someone with a stick. Think about it before you do it. Don't regret it if you do it."
"But there is a premise for these things, and that is to stay on your own! To put it bluntly, no matter what the relationship is with you, if he commits a crime, you can avoid being implicated, and stay out of it regardless of whether you ask or know!"
Zhao Shi was confused and could not accept these things for a moment.
He looked at Li Jinglong, "Are you telling me this...?"
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this. Lord Long Live has asked me to take you, Uncle Guo, to practice government affairs!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "But being an official means being a human being! I won't give you, Uncle Guo, these worldly principles.
Crushed it and make it clear. If in the future...if you meet someone with a bad heart, won't you suffer a loss?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, "Uncle Guo, you don't know that people in this world are sinister..."
"I know!" Zhao Shi suddenly laughed, "It's like the Lotus Hall. They clung to my family, and as a result, my father was implicated..."
"That's right!" Li Jinglong clapped his hands, "Look, this is what I just said, the people down there are evil!"
As he spoke, he looked Zhao Shi up and down, and suddenly thought to himself, "This kid seems to be smarter than my son!"
~~
Several people were walking towards the city wall while talking.
Along the way, Li Jinglong kept his mouth busy.
Zhao Shi was confused when he heard this, and Deng Zhen next to him was also confused.
In his impression, the Duke's brother-in-law is not a talkative person! He is not even a person who likes to be a teacher. Why do he talk so much to the Duke's uncle?
Do you really think these words were told by Li Jinglong to Zhao Shi?
How can it be!
Li Jinglong believed that when they returned to the capital after finishing their errands, the emperor would ask Zhao Shi alone what he had seen, learned, and realized along the way.
At that time, his words will be transmitted from Zhao Shi's mouth to the emperor's ears.
Even in a few years, these words will spread from Zhao Shi's mouth to the crown prince's mouth.
As soon as a few people walked down the city wall, they suddenly saw several rows of prison cars covered with cloth parked below. Next to the prison cars, a group of unfamiliar and tougher guards in uniforms surrounded a young man, standing there with cold eyes.
The reason why I use the word tougher is because the Jinyiwei in the capital are more like hounds, and these Jinyiwei in front of me clearly look like wolves!
The young man had no accessories on his body and was dressed in a simple blue hunting suit with a knife hanging upside down from his waist.
His waist knife is also very special. It is not an exquisite embroidered spring knife, but a simple palm-wide infantry knife.
Zhao Shi was curious and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and happened to meet the cold eyes from the other side.
The next second, Li Jinglong let out a sigh.
Then he walked forward with a big smile and shouted in a very familiar and affectionate voice, "Why is it you, kid? Why are you here?"
