"When the government is doing business, get out of the way. Get out of the way."
Outside the north gate of Guangzhou City, a group of people came running. The leader of this group was a helmeted and armored general. He was tall and serious, wearing long boots and a sword hanging from his waist. He was leading the way majestically in front and behind him. It is a group of soldiers, and in the center of the soldiers is a sedan chair carried by four soldiers.
The group of people quickly ran toward the city gate.
Wherever this group of people passed, both the soldiers and the people who were guarding the city gave way one after another, not daring to take advantage of them.
"Who are these people? Why are they so arrogant?"
"Hey, you don't even know who is in the sedan. The information is too limited. Let me tell you, the person in the sedan is a eunuch from Beijing. Speaking of eunuchs, we have to talk about our Guangzhou Admiral Mr. Li. , this eunuch came to Guangzhou to deliver an edict. It is said that in order to reward the admiral for leading the army to pacify Guangzhou, the current Emperor Xianfeng specially gave Shang Fang the sword, which can kill the faint emperor at the top and the sycophants at the bottom, just like Bao Longtu in the past can beat the faint emperor at the top. It's like killing a sycophant."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't scream too loudly, be careful not to be heard."
…
The people at the city gate were laughing and talking, with curious expressions on their faces.
Such a large battle is rare.
While the people were talking in low voices, the eunuch sitting in the sedan also raised the curtain and carefully looked at the situation at the city gate with a curious look on his face. The eunuch was castrated and educated in the palace since he was a child. After growing up in the palace, he was cautious all day long, for fear of offending some important person. However, the eunuchs who left the palace to deliver orders were different. Wherever they went, they were filled with uncles. They always walked with their heads raised, and they looked superior to the officials. .
Not only that, but the eunuchs also had a lot of money, so the eunuchs in the palace wanted to go out of the palace to deliver orders.
The sedan jolted toward the Admiral's Mansion, and the eunuch who delivered the order was also full of expectations.
There are rumors that Li Zhen spends money lavishly, but I don’t know if it is true.
"Get off the sedan."
I don't know when, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the sedan. Immediately, the sedan that was moving forward stopped steadily. The attendant lifted the curtain of the sedan, and the eunuch slowly walked out. The accompanying attendant said: "Father, it's already." arrive."
"Um,."
The eunuch nodded and looked up at the Admiral's Mansion.
As soon as I saw it, I saw a group of people standing outside the Admiral's Mansion. The leader was handsome and majestic, wearing official robes, beads, and court caps, with a faint smile on his face. This person was the Admiral Li of Guangzhou. No doubt, Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the eunuch coming.
Every time he was about to receive an imperial edict, Li Zhen had expectations, because every time he was rewarded, it marked his rise in official rank and his goal of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. However, Li Zhen was very annoyed, because every time Every time he saw a eunuch, he would kneel down, which made Li Zhen very unhappy.
It's a pity that Li Zhen's strength is far from enough, otherwise this thing would have been scrapped long ago.
Li Zhen greeted him and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, thank you for your hard work for coming all the way." After saying this, Li Zhen sent the eunuch who had sent the order to welcome him back to the admiral's mansion. He burned incense and bathed again. After all these actions, it took half a day. After an hour, all the complicated etiquette was over. When Li Zhen was talking to the eunuch, he gave the eunuch another three thousand taels of silver, which made the eunuch smile. The two sides spoke in a much closer and more casual manner.
In the hall, the eunuch read out Xianfeng's decree and took out the Shangfang sword that Xianfeng had given him.
Li Zhen got Shang Fang's sword and his face was full of smiles.
Even though Li Zhen was not interested in Xianfeng and found the so-called "Sword of Shang Fang" ironic, under the current situation, with Sword of Shang Fang, Li Zhen had an extra trump card and a big killer weapon in his hand. , even if Ye Mingchen faces Li Zhen, he must be wary of three points.
After the eunuch finished the work, he said again: "Admiral Li, although the emperor reprimanded you for killing Bai Gui without permission, he rewarded you with a Shangfang sword, which shows that you are deeply trusted by the emperor. Before the Za family came to Guangzhou, Mr. Han Laiyu and Han Eunuch I once asked the Zajia family to tell Admiral Li that the emperor does not want Admiral Li to have a too close relationship with the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Even the newly appointed governor of Guangdong, Qi Ling, you should not get too close to him. Your Majesty, I hope you will do this. A solitary minister is just a minister of the emperor, so please bear this in mind, Admiral Li."
"Thank you very much, father-in-law. Please also thank father-in-law for me."
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he asked the eunuch to bring three thousand taels of silver to Han Laiyu.
In the blink of an eye, six thousand taels of silver disappeared.
Li Zhen secretly made up his mind to end this kind of life as soon as possible and work hard to develop his own strength. With a bright smile on his face, Li Zhen said lightly: "My father-in-law came all the way from Beijing and traveled a long distance. The official has already set up a banquet at the house to welcome the father-in-law and wash away the dust, and please give me a favor."
The eunuch agreed, his face even more happy.
Li Zhen arranged things for the eunuch, and asked people to reward the guards who protected the eunuch. He also prepared food and wine for these people, and then he had a drink with the eunuch. From welcoming the eunuch to seeing him off, it took Li Zhen two full years. days time.
…
Across the street from the Admiral's Mansion, what was originally a large mansion suddenly had a sign bearing the name of the Governor's Yamen.
This mansion became the office of the governor of Guangdong, Qiling.
Governor's Yamen, backyard.
The senior citizen was wearing a black robe and stood tall. He had a thin and dark figure, small eyes, and a short stature. He was only 1.6 meters tall. He stood like a bamboo pole in the room. However, his slender eyes, As well as the thin lips, they all give people a mean and vicious feeling, which makes people shudder. The senior is about the same age as Bai Gui, both in their fifties, but Bai Gui is fatter, while the senior has a lean figure. , giving people a short and concise feeling.
"Uncle, you want to avenge your nephew. My nephew's right hand was broken and his legs were broken. Even though the doctor tried his best to diagnose and treat him, he is still a cripple. My nephew's life is ruined like this. You must help me. .”
Wanfu was lying on the bed, his face full of hatred.
His legs and right hand were broken that day, and even if he hired the most skilled doctor, it would be difficult for him to recover.
Qi Ling lifted up his robe and sat down. He looked at Wan Fu lying on the bed, and a flash of pain flashed in his eyes. His dead brother entrusted Wan Fu to him, and now he is like this. Qi Ling's heart is like a knife. Generally twisted.
Qi Ling gritted his teeth and said slowly: "My dear nephew, don't worry, I will help you get your revenge. Li Zhen broke your legs and right hand, I will break his legs, With both hands, let him live and not die, but let Li Zhen be arrogant for a while."
"Uncle, you are the governor of Guangdong, and your official position is higher than that of Li Zhen. Will it take time to deal with Li Zhen? All you need is an order, and Li Zhen will have to surrender obediently." Wan Fu took it for granted and took things very seriously. Simple.
Qiling sighed and said: "Wanfu, you are already in your early twenties, are you still ignorant? Li Zhen is a man of great martial arts and a capable fighter. He is highly valued by the emperor. Not only that, Li Zhen I still have the Shang Fang Sword in my hand, which was rewarded by the Emperor. If Li Zhen is cornered, I am afraid that he will come directly with Shang Fang Sword and kill us. Then both Li Zhen and I will suffer losses. Now, we need to make Li Zhen lower his guard. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Admiral's Mansion in person to apologize for what happened to you."
"What."
Wan Fu looked in disbelief and was very surprised.
Qi Ling continued: "People who work in official circles, the least important thing is their own face, and the most important thing is their own face. If the uncle wants to capture Li Zhen, he must risk his old face. You, You still need to learn more."
"My nephew understands."
Wan Fu seemed to understand and nodded.
