Chapter 529: Sima Quartet
Wang Jingzhi naturally heard the irony in his words, but he just shook his head, and his breezy demeanor made Zhang Xiaowu speechless. He waited quietly in the courtyard, but his heart fluctuated, only because the rebellion and the turmoil of the past ten days had shaken his heart too deeply. Along the way, he was always collecting information, and after arriving in Longdu, he did not understand the cause of the rebellion. As the emperor's eyes, Jin Yiwei actually participated in the rebellion, which really made him not even believe himself. What shocked him even more was that this little brother Zhang Xiaowu actually won the regent power in the chaotic army.
"Central Order, Central Order." Wang Jingzhi shook his head and sighed, he never expected Zhang Xiaowu's courage to be so big, compared with these cautious officials, Zhang Xiaowu's step was simply a leap into the sky. The process of Zhang Xiaowu's regency is simply strange, the left minister resigned, the right minister made a shrinking turtle, and the four forbidden armies actually made a small calculation, so that a silver-clothed guard commander with only 8,000 subordinates took charge of Longdu City, and then ruled the world.
"How could he have such audacity, how could he think of being a regent?" Wang Jingzhi called it wonderful again and again, maybe because he was born in the border army, so he has such great courage.
"Only he has such courage, he is really a ghost general, unpredictable courage."
Zhang Xiaowu, who returned to the bedroom, did not disturb the two women who were resting, he quietly put on his clothes and armor, and then walked to the bed, looked at their sleeping appearance, and smiled slightly. Zhang Xiaowu relaxed in his heart for no reason, in fact, isn't the purpose of a man's career outside to make his family live a better life? People can't live how they want, and even many people live under the influence of others, everyone can only be forced to live, live both comfortably and unhappily, the only thing he can do is to make his family and friends safer and richer, that's all.
He gently stroked Yunyan's hair, Yunyan opened his eyes suddenly, saw that he had already put on his armor, immediately grabbed his hand, and said pityingly: "Master, are you going to leave again?" β
"Hmm."
"When will you be back?"
"Tomorrow nightβprobably."
"However, they don't want the master to go."
Zhang Xiaowu hooked his chin and said softly: "The world needs me." After that, she turned around and left, and Yun Yan looked at his departing back stupidly, her heart had long been moved by his domineering words, and she couldn't help but say in her heart: "This is a real man, this is a man." β
Zhang Xiaowu walked out of the door with the purple gold gong on his back, and saw that Wang Jingzhi was still waiting for him, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, Brother Wang." β
Wang Jingzhi: "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "There is a chance for us to fight, but now is not the time to fight, you want to clear your grievances, and I want to catch this mysterious and dangerous person." β
When Zhang Xiaowu came to the stable, Chen Guanxi and Wang Yijin also received the news, and they were surprised that Zhang Xiaowu trusted Wang Jingzhi so much. However, although Wang Jingzhi feels mysterious and dangerous, he will not do stupid things, and everyone's legend about Wang Jingzhi is just that he is more mysterious. After the two looked at Wang Jingzhi, they rode their horses and followed behind them.
The four of them came to the silver-clothed guard yamen, and it was Ni Erchun who was on duty, and Ni Erchun, who was carrying a mace, immediately ordered two hundred silver-clothed guards, and followed Wang Jingzhi to the Dafufang in the outer city of Longdu City. Dafufang is one of the seventy-two squares outside Longdu City, where some poor people live, many of whom are tenants of other people's families, relying on the existence of large families. Zhang Xiaowu naturally knew about this Dafufang, but he didn't expect that the Quartet would hide here, and there was only one family in the whole Dafufang with a two-story building, so this Dafufang was almost all poor.
"So he's hiding here?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
"No, because he was born here." Wang Jingzhi, "The name of the Quartet is Sima Sifang, and the ancestor used to be Sima Wenda, one of the great scholars of Tai Academy, and he was also a Confucian sage in the history of our Holy Han Empire. However, the Sima family did not obtain the title of the scholar clan, so they were rich for only three generations, and by the time they reached the Sifang, the generation had already become poor.
But even ordinary people can actually live well, but Quartet's background is not good, although he is a descendant of the Sima family, he is an illegitimate child, and he can't even be recognized by the Sima family. Sima Sifang's mother was a singer of Qinglou, who voluntarily redeemed herself and married because she admired his father's talent, but was eventually abandoned. And Sifang's mother could only take him to Dafufang and start a secret door - that is, a secret prostitute. Quartet didn't know his true identity until he was eight years old, and the first thing he did was set fire to Sima's house. Fortunately, he didn't set fire to the Sima family, but was almost killed by the Sima family's subordinates. β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The original family, so he will take revenge on the society?" β
"What family of origin?"
"I mean, coming from a miserable family, or having a mother abandoned, or having a father dying young, in short, not having a complete family or the same year." Zhang Xiaowu explained, "In our hometown, we call such a family the original family. β
Wang Jingzhi: "Dafufang is very poor, and his background in the Quartet is very poor, so he has worked very hard since he was a child, and he also knows the importance of reading. But because his background was so humble that no one thought that he would participate in the imperial examination, he was one of the few people in Dafufang. He has a calm personality and does not like to talk nonsense, and is focused on his work, with few friends and no enemies. Maybe it's because of his background, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he has a calm attitude.
The Quartet I know, in fact, doesn't ask for much, and he is more like an ascetic on weekdays, who would have thought that he would actually participate in the rebellion, and because of him, the court was confused. I have always trusted the Quartet, just as I trusted you to never betray Your Majesty, but the last thing I expected was the betrayal of the Quartet. I went to him to ask him why he didn't listen to me and why he betrayed His Majesty. β
"You said that he rebelled, would it be because he wanted to take revenge on the Sima family?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
Wang Jingzhi shook his head: "The Sima family has been driven out of Longdu by him and rushed to the Western Regions, and along the way, I don't know how many descendants of the Sima family have died." β
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Yes, if there is revenge, you will get revenge - I am also curious, why did he rebel." β
The two came to a dilapidated house, surrounded by stolen goods discarded and used by the people, there was still feces and urine on the ground, and there was no light in the house. β
"Fence it off." Zhang Xiaowu ordered.
"Whoa!" Ni Erchun brandished his mace and shouted: "Don't get away with the thieves, brothers, kill one by one!" β
