Section 247 The End of Jiangchong (2)
Standing at the intersection, Zhang Yue looked at the dust that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Jijingo is here!
The officials on the left and right were all a little trembling and trembling.
There is no way, the Han family's Jinwu (lieutenant) official has used the blood and corpses of countless aristocratic officials for a hundred years to forge his own prestige!
The prestige and authority of Jin Wu are unmatched among the nine kings.
For most officials, Zhijingo is a giant who can decide their life and death.
Zhang Yue squinted, looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and sighed: "Being an official should be the ruling Jinwu, Brother Axiu will not deceive me!" ”
In the distance, the team of holding Jingo has appeared in the field of vision.
It's all cavalry!
There were at least more than 100 horsemen, and they were lined up in several cavalry teams, and they could not walk on the straight.
In the entire pass, there is now only Zhijinwu, who can use cavalry of this scale to open the way with such a swagger.
No one else has this ability!
Because, Zhi Jinwu is the stick of the Son of Heaven, and he is the highest-ranking military general in the empire at present.
In a sense, the ruling Jingo of the Han dynasty can be seen as the commander of the armed police force and the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison in later generations.
As for the guards?
After the Southern Army was abolished, Wei Weiqing was left with the duty of guarding the palace gate and defending the palace.
The actual command power of the Northern Army has long been in the hands of the army envoys.
With great power in hand, Jin Wu is naturally proud, and he also has proud capital.
Zhang Yue's words fell on the ears of the officials on the left and right, and everyone looked sideways.
Now in Guanzhong, there is only this Zhang Shizhong and 'Zhang Chiyou', who can evaluate and ridicule the famous Zhi Jinwu like this.
A moment later, this huge cavalry force came to Zhang Yue.
More than 100 horsemen, gathered together, the yellow robes, connected together, with a murderous aura, rushed straight into the sky.
Their bright outfits even more unabashedly show their identity - the direct Ti Cavalry under the command of Zhi Jinwu!
Decades ago, the Han family had a direct army under the name of Jiuqing.
For example, the Bashang Army directly under Tai Changqing, the Thorn Gate Army directly under Zong Zhengqing, and the left and right twelve Sima Hou directly under Wei Weiqing.
Even under the command of Da Honglu, there is also a direct Flying Fox Army, which is used to deter the princes and Yidi.
However, after the current son ascended the throne, especially in the past twenty or thirty years, His Majesty has even regarded the prime minister and the imperial historian as ornaments and statues.
The army directly under Jiuqing Yousi was naturally stripped and dismantled.
For example, the Bashang Army has changed from a field army to a tunnel battalion, specializing in maintaining the emperor's tomb.
The Thornmen Army was even completely dismantled, and its territory fell into the hands of the Northern Army.
The only one who holds the Golden Go, still holds a considerable armed force.
As far as Zhang Yue knew, the Han family directly controlled at least 3,000 troops under the command of Jinwu.
And the most famous is the Ti Qi who is directly under the command of Jin Wu.
The so-called Ti cavalry is because these cavalry use Dan yellow cloth as their battle robes, which are called 'Ti' in the Han Dynasty, which was originally the clothing worn by the palace guards, and later because the Ti cavalry of the Jin Wu was so famous, even the palace guards did not dare to wear it anymore.
Since then, the Dan yellow 'Ti' cloth robe has been called the exclusive clothing of the Jin Wuti rider.
In the Kanto region, there were even powerful nobles who trembled when they saw the cavalry wearing red yellow robes, thinking that the imperial court had sent Ti cavalry to arrest him.
"The lower official Zhang Zizhong welcomes the prince of Jinwu!" Zhang Yue took a few steps forward and bowed slightly to these horsemen.
Others will be afraid of Tiqi, and that is because there are ghosts in their hearts.
In fact, Zhang Yue knew that in the past hundred years, there was almost no record of abuse of power by the Tiqi of Jinwu.
When they arrest people, they must do what they are told.
Moreover, most of the knights are actually Legalists.
Defending the law is a creed engraved in their bones.
"Zhang Shizhong is very polite!" In the midst of the ride, a man in armor, in his forties, with a long beard, walked out with a standard Chinese character face.
He turned over and dismounted, carried the sword at his waist, walked to Zhang Yue, and introduced himself: "This official Wang Mang, who was assassinated in the middle of the service, should have traveled to Xinfeng in the starry night, but His Majesty has an edict temporarily, so I delayed for some time, I hope the servant will forgive ......me."
"Zhijin Wu's words are heavy...... Zhang Yue smiled and arched his hand: "The prince, please enter the city......"
……………………
The horsemen who held Jinwu surrounded Zhang Yue and entered Xinfeng City.
Immediately, the residents of the whole city were shocked.
From their point of view, even the famous and powerful Zhijin Wu, who can stop children crying at night, is also well-behaved in front of 'Zhang Chiyou', like a docile wolf dog.
I don't know how many young people who came to Xinfeng to register for the 'public examination', at this moment they looked at Zhang Yue, who was surrounded and protected by Tiqi, with admiration and admiration on their faces.
"That's how a husband is!" I don't know how many people feel envy in their hearts.
Jiang Chong stood in the attic of a wine shop, looking at this scene, looking at the expressions of those young people, and lowering his head slightly.
This scene made his heart cut like a knife, and life was worse than death.
Jiang Chong couldn't understand why this ant a few months ago, a weak scholar who could pinch to death with one finger, could grow to such a point now?
And he could only flee in the wilderness.
It is even possible that there will be no place to bury him.
"I'm not reconciled!" Jiang Chong clenched his fists, and fire erupted from his eyes.
I want him to work hard all his life, be a dog for the Liu family, and be a gun for many, many people.
Little by little, they climbed from the cracks to the high position.
During this period, I don't know how many grievances I suffered, how much pressure and humiliation I endured.
However......
More than 20 years of hard work is not worth the achievements of a Nanling mud leg in two or three months.
"You're damned!" Jiang Chong stared viciously at Zhang Yue in front of him, riding on a war horse, majestic.
Looking at this young man, he remembered that familiar picture more than twenty years ago.
That year, he was just a lackey of Prince Zhao in Handan City.
can only do everything possible to please his master.
Even at the expense of sending his sister to the master's bed.
However......
Even so, his status and fate have not changed in the slightest.
The young Prince Dan still regarded him as a pig and a dog.
Even his sister was regarded as a slave.
At every turn, it is scolding and scolding.
On that day, Prince Dan got drunk and went crazy in the palace.
He took a leather whip and whipped more than fifty lashes on him.
also asked more than a dozen eunuchs to strip him naked and hang him on the palace gate.
His sister pleaded with him, but instead of being forgiven.
Instead, he was beaten alive and disabled by that brute in front of him......
That day, he cried and his heart was like a knife.
On that day, he vowed revenge.
At that moment, he knew that a husband could not be without power for a day!
So, he fled Handan and came to Chang'an, doing everything he could to please everyone he met, giving up everything and desperately climbing up.
However, after more than 20 years of hard work, it seems that success is about to be achieved.
He has obviously forced the crown prince to the foot of the wall, and he has obviously made the emperor's father and son deviate from morality.
There is only one last step left, only one foot away from the door, and the crown prince can face the suspicion and spurning of the old emperor.
Then, he can take the merits of the abolished prince and go to the pinnacle of life.
Even, in charge of the country!
However, all these hopes and all these efforts have been wasted because of the man in front of him.
"I'm going to kill you!" Jiang Chong suppressed, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Whatever it takes, whatever it takes!" I'm going to kill you too! ”
He hates!
To hate this young man, you don't have to be like him, you need to abandon your dignity, personality, principles and position, and you can easily gain the trust of the emperor and the favor of countless people.
He hates the other party's talent even more!
At a young age, he was already able to sit and discuss with Dr. Taixue, and as soon as he made a move, he could let Zuo Chuan escape from Chang'an with his tail between his legs, and the bigwigs of the Guliang School had to avoid the edge for the time being!
Even casually, you can come up with something that Da Si Nong is amazed and Shao Fuqing is very excited about.
Jealousy and hatred made it almost difficult for Jiang Chong to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
His eyes were red, like a wounded wolf, and he let out a low growl with a mouth full of fierce fangs.
But in the next second, his whole body was as if he was being targeted by a prehistoric beast.
I was chilling all over, as if I was in a cold ice cave.
The hairs on his body are erected one by one.
He swallowed hard, then raised his head, his eyes just met the clear eyes of the man.
………………………………
Three seconds ago.
Zhang Yue and Wang Mang talked while walking, intimately talking about a topic that all martial artists like to talk about - the Western Regions.
I don't know who brought it up first, anyway, now the two are talking very speculatively.
Wang Mang found that this young Zhang Shizhong seemed to have a peculiar charm.
Obviously, he has never even gone out of Guanzhong, but he can also guide the countries of the Western Regions.
In particular, the strategy of 'Han, Wusun, and Wuheng to attack the Xiongnu on three sides' mentioned by this young servant and the idea of setting up a colonial institution such as a Metropolitan Protectorate or Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions in the future made Wang Mang feel as if he had met a bosom friend.
Especially the latter, Wang Mang listened to it, and his heart was relaxed, and he couldn't wait to go back and propose this matter to the Son of Heaven immediately, and even Wang Mang had an impulse - he wanted to be the first chief official of the Western Regions Protectorate or Governor's Mansion.
Open up the territory for the country and defend the territory, expel Yidi for the community, and remove a scourge for the world.
Suddenly, Zhang Yue turned his head sharply and stared his gaze to the attic of a wine shop on the side of the street on the left, and a sharp look suddenly bloomed in his eyes.
"Zhang Shizhong, what's wrong?" Wang Mang was a little puzzled and asked.
Zhang Yue didn't answer, just looked at the attic quietly.
Then, he bowed his head and said, "Does the prince mind waiting here for a while?" ”
"Huh?" Wang Mang was puzzled.
"Please do the prince a favor...... Zhang Yue raised his head, showing a smile on his face and a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and pointed to the wine shop: "Immediately let Tiqi surround this wine shop and search it closely!" ”
"Huh?"
"The lower official suspects that there are fellow assassins in this wine shop!" Zhang Yue said in a low voice: "The next official seems to have seen a man who feels similar to the assassins......"
When Wang Mang heard this, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately raised his hand.
Crash!
The horsemen who followed immediately stopped their advance.
"Surround the liquor store, strictly inspect everything!" Wang Mang waved his hand and ordered.
"No!" An officer shouted, rolled over and dismounted: "You guys go to the backyard and block all exits......"
"Go and seal the gates ......"
"The others come with me!"
In an instant, in just two or three seconds, more than 100 Tiqi immediately divided labor and cooperated, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the wine shop.
…………………………………………
Zhang Yue rode on a horse, looking at the attic of the wine store, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just now, the Yellowstone in his mind trembled.
Just like that day, in Changshui Township, I met the person who poisoned him, just like yesterday, before the rhubarb crossbow raid.
Judging by the past two experiences, Yellowstone can't be wrong.
Now, he only had to wait for the horsemen who held the gold to inspect everyone in this liquor shop to know if this was the case.
…………………………
From Zhang Yue's request to Wang Mang to Ti Qi's blockade of the wine shop, there was only a few breaths between before and after.
But Jiang Chong, who was upstairs in the restaurant, was already cold, like falling into the abyss.
"Cavalry search, everyone and others lay down their weapons and line up!" Downstairs, the voice of a soldier was heard, and the entire liquor store immediately became a mess.
I don't know how many people are panicking.
The fierce name of the horseman who holds Jin Wu is known even to a three-year-old child.
But the confusion quickly subsided.
Because the Ti Cavalry is starting to come in.
These soldiers, dressed in red yellow robes, carrying swords, walked into the liquor store, and then began to count the number of people.
Pedal Pedal Ped
The sound of hurried footsteps came from downstairs, and a majestic voice came into the ears: "Tiqi search, everyone will immediately go downstairs to be inspected, and anyone who refuses to cooperate will be regarded as a thief and killed!" ”
Jiang Chong's teeth chattered, and then he stretched out his head to look downstairs at the restaurant.
More than a dozen horsemen, half-kneeling on the ground.
They held crossbows and aimed at the liquor store.
Jiang Chong knew very well that if he wanted to jump off the building, he was looking for death.
Even, if you dare to make any changes, you will be shot into a hornet's nest.
"What should I do?" Jiang Chong shouted in his heart: "I will die here, I will die here!" ”
He knew very well that once he was found by Tiqi, there would definitely be no way out!
As the messenger of Zhizhi embroidered clothes, Jiang Chong knows very well how capable he is of holding Jinwu!
They have the means, and even more the means, to make the strongest people in the world speak.
In the past, I don't know how many iron bones, and the helpless hard bones of other yamen entered the hands of Zhijinwu, and they would confess in three days.
Many people even want to tell all the things they have ever done, just to die quickly.
At this moment, Jiang Chong's mind flashed with countless torture tools and punishments that he had seen with his own eyes.
He shook his head violently, even if it was death, he didn't want to taste such pain! Humiliated like that!
