Zhu Gui just ordered people to send all the letters away, and Gongsun Ming and three others had already arrived at the door. It seemed that they had guessed that Zhu Gui had woken up.
Not only that, Wang Hua shouted at the door: "Brother Zhu, come out soon. Zhao Tian wants to invite us to drink wine. It's rare for a stingy guy like him to be so generous."
Zhu Gui had no choice but to open the door and let the three people in.
Except for Gongsun Ming, who had already guessed Zhu Gui's identity, he was a little restrained. The other two people regarded Zhu Gui as their own brothers and pulled him out.
Zhao Tian said as he walked: "Taiyuan's Flower Street is second only to Nanjing. It will take half a month for the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty to leave. Brother Zhu, you can't miss it this time."
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly. If he really went to that kind of place and Xu Miaoqing knew about it, the relationship between the two would probably cool down. He would not take advantage of the small.
So they entrusted each other with business matters, and it was related to the three of them.
When Zhao Tian and Wang Hua heard this, they stopped messing around.
"Brother Zhu, what's the matter? Tell us quickly and see if we can help." Wang Hua said first.
"Yes, Brother Zhu and Brother Gongsun stole the show yesterday. Although we were prepared, it was useless. It's our turn this time." Zhao Tian said with a smile.
"Well, I'll leave this task to you." Zhu Gui picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Gongsun Ming first.
After seeing it once, the three people had different expressions on their faces.
Gongsun Ming frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about the content of the letter, but Wang Hua and Zhao Tian were extremely excited.
"It turns out that this kind of thing is really suitable for us brothers to practice. These grandsons used to be arrogant and domineering in Taiyuan. Now it's time for them to pay off their debts."
Wang Hua expressed happily.
It turned out that this letter was written by Liao Qinghai, the governor of Taiyuan County, and the general idea was to ask Zhu Gui to help suppress other gangs in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Although at the Gongsun family's banquet yesterday, the seven largest gangs had been suppressed, the seven gang leaders had been taken into custody, and the headquarters of the seven gangs had also been captured.
However, there are more small and medium-sized gangs in Taiyuan Prefecture. After they saw the fate of those seven gangs, many gangs immediately "moved", but some gangs wanted to resist stubbornly and even had conflicts with the officers and soldiers of the County Sheriff's Prefecture.
conflict.
Originally this kind of thing was simply impossible to happen.
Most states and counties have their own garrison, and the feudal king's fiefdom has a larger three-guard garrison. The ordinary gangs are just a bunch of chickens and dogs in front of the Ming army.
But now Taiyuan has just lost its vassal king, and the court has not yet established a new vassal king, which emboldens these gangs.
Although the three guards of King Jin have not been disbanded, there is no one who can mobilize them.
In other words, apart from some poor government officers and yamen servants, the only biggest forces in Taiyuan City right now, apart from those gangs, are the people recruited yesterday by the three young masters from the big families in front of them.
Although these people have not been systematically trained and do not have unified weapons, they are just a mob compared to the regular army. However, with a huge number of 700 people, it is more than enough to deal with a gang of only more than a hundred people.
Wang Hua and Zhao Tian usually did not pay attention to these small gangs, but due to the orders of the family, they could not conflict with them. This was not because they were afraid of each other, but because the business family was most worried about causing trouble.
And now the letter in Zhu Gui's hand represents the wishes of the Taiyuan County Governor, and the other party represents the imperial court, which means that they are acting according to the order, and naturally they will no longer have any scruples.
As for why this 'Brother Zhu' was connected with the Taiyuan County Sheriff, the two of them didn't think too much about it.
Zhao Tian and Wang Hua almost ran out in a hurry. It seemed that they were going to the military camp to mobilize their men to prepare for a big fight.
Only Gongsun Ming remained where he was, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Zhu Gui looked at him, then sat back at the table: "Master Gongsun, please sit down."
Gongsun Ming did not sit down, but knelt on one knee and said: "The common people pay homage to the king."
Zhu Gui was not surprised at all. He just nodded and said, "Young Master Gongsun is really smart and can actually see through my identity. But you didn't mention this to others, right?"
Zhu Gui asked while pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Cao Min has not mentioned this matter to anyone, including his family. I hope the prince can forgive Cao Min for his previous disrespectful behavior." Gongsun Ming said nervously.
Although the acting king in front of him is much younger than the King of Jin, in terms of pressure on Gongsun Ming, the former is much greater than the latter.
The aura of Jin Wang Zhu Tie was entirely based on his identity, but the aura of the young prince in front of him was restrained, but even more frightening.
"Get up, I have deliberately concealed my identity. You should also know the reason. After all, this is the fiefdom of King Jin. I should not have appeared here. If Commander Liao hadn't asked to come to my palace, I would not have wanted to interfere.
.”
"However, since I want to take charge, I must manage this place thoroughly. After all, I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Gui's gentle tone revealed an undoubted aura of a king, which made Gongsun Ming, who thought he had seen many big scenes, feel like a thorn in his back.
"Then how does the prince plan to deal with the current chaos in Taiyuan?" Gongsun Ming asked bravely, because he had so many doubts in his heart that he couldn't bear to express them. What's more, he could also feel that the young man in front of him
The prince seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.
"Chaos? Isn't the situation obvious now? Although there are many forces in Taiyuan City, after today, I am afraid that the world will be dominated by your three major families. As for the small and medium-sized families, they can only rely on the wings of your three major families.
At the same time, I also gave them the opportunity to express their loyalty to the court."
Zhu Gui said with a smile.
Gongsun Mingli was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the situation seemed to be exactly what many people said. After the attack on the seven major gangs at yesterday's banquet, the situation in Taiyuan City was indeed much clearer.
As long as Wang Hua and Zhao Tian's actions go smoothly today, they can serve as a warning to the monkeys. I'm afraid no one will dare to go against their three major families again.
Moreover, the descendants of small and medium-sized families will also become hostages in the hands of the king because of joining the army.
But thinking about it this way, wouldn't he, Wang Hua, and Zhao Tian have become hostages?
It turns out that although the young prince in front of him looks harmless, he is a member of the royal family after all, and his character, government, and methods are not something ordinary people can deduce based on common sense.
