Spending money to hire someone to do things, the effect is just very different, not long after the sharp-faced eunuch entered, he came out of the house with a smile, looked at Liu Renyu and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, our family has already told Gonggong Chen and Gonggong Yan, saying that you are an acquaintance of our ancestors, and the two fathers-in-law heard that it was the old man who came, so he asked us to quickly call a few of you in." How many of you, please. ”

The sharp-faced eunuch said that he bent down, stretched out the arm of his right hand, and made a gesture of please, Liu Renyu saw it, and first politely replied: "There is a father-in-law," and then he turned back to a few subordinates and said: "Let's go, go with our town to meet the two fathers-in-law." ”

"Yes, Marshal." When the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army received the order, they followed behind Liu Renyu and rushed in.

When everyone entered the wing, they didn't see anyone, but they first smelled a strong fragrance, and then Liu Renyu took a closer look, and found two young men with white faces and beards sitting on the left and right ends of the dirt pit.

Both of them were lean, with sharp eyes, gloomy complexions, and long faces, which did not look like good people at first glance. And on them, good fellows, wore bright yellow five-clawed cockroach suits, soap boots with black tops and red soles on their feet, and on their heads was a crown of winged goodness, and on the top of this crown was inlaid with a great pearl of the night, which shone brightly in this slightly dark chamber, and bloomed with a thousand splendours.

"Damn, the clothes you wear are no different from the emperor's, you are amazing." When Liu Renyu was secretly muttering this sentence in his heart, he didn't watch out for the eunuch sitting on the left hand side and asked, "Which one is Mr. Liu?" ”

Seeing that these two eunuchs had spoken, Liu Renyu immediately took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a slumping voice: "If you go back to your father-in-law, the last general will be Liu Renyu, the chief soldier of Yansui, please forgive me for wearing armor and not being able to pay full courtesy." ”

When the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army saw Liu Renyu bowing, they immediately fell to the ground with him, and greeted Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin's father-in-law one after another.

"That's it, that's it, Mr. Liu, you are an acquaintance of the ancestors, that is, our acquaintances, and get up and speak." The father-in-law who opened his mouth to ask showed a little smile and waved his hand.

"The last general has waited for the two fathers-in-law." After Liu Renyu and the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army finished saluting, they got up and stood with their bows, waiting for the two fathers-in-law to ask.

"Mr. Liu, the two of us now recognize you, but you still don't recognize the two of us, let's tell you who we are." After the eunuch sitting on the left hand side said this, he pointed to his nose and said, "Our family is Chen Dajin, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, this is,"

Chen Dajin pointed to the other eunuch sitting next to him and said, "This is Yan Siyin, the same as our family, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison. ”

"It turns out that Gonggong Chen and Gonggong Yan are both in charge of the army in the palace, no wonder the emperor will send you two to Shanxi to supervise military affairs." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Hey, do you think we want to come, it's not that these Shanxi officials are ineffective, and the thieves can't suppress the uncontrollable, and they are making trouble, and they are all making trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they are all holding a hero meeting in Cizhou, the news has reached the Beijing Division, and it has been transmitted to the palace, and the emperor has dropped several cups, and even said that the foreign ministers are not helpful, and their own domestic slaves are reliable, because of this, we came to Shanxi to supervise military affairs.

Liu Zongzhen, the Jingbian Fort Army under your command is also somewhat prestigious, so the emperor transferred you to Shanxi to suppress thieves, you are powerful, but our family has to say ugly things in front, if you are not honest and do your best to suppress thieves, we will write word by word in the excerpt, and present it to the master Long live the master, even if you have a relationship with the ancestor, we will not take care of him. Chen Dajin said it well, and suddenly he turned his face when he said it.

Liu Renyu listened to Chen Dajin's words, smiled indifferently and said: "The two fathers-in-law just rest assured, what is the end of the army and the other soldiers killing the enemy, isn't it just to make the emperor happy, this time the last general specially brought 17,000 Yansui elite soldiers over, and he will definitely be able to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop." ”

"You have so many people?" Yan Siyin was taken aback and said.

"Gonggong Yan, the main army is five thousand, and the auxiliary soldiers are twelve thousand." Liu Renyu hurriedly explained.

"So that's the case, so many of you soldiers and horses came from Shaanxi, have the prefectures and counties along the way in Shanxi provided grain and grass?" Chen Dajin thought that Liu Renyu had come over with so many soldiers and horses, and the people along the way were eating horses and chewing, and the food needed was not astronomical.

"Back to Gonggong Chen, there are difficulties in the locality, and they can't get food, so the last general will bring his own grain every time he goes out." Liu Renyu replied.

"Bring your own grain and straw to contribute to the war of the imperial court, do you still want to bring your own grain?" Yan Siyin was shocked.

"Since the last general led the army in the second year of Chongzhen, he has always prepared his own grain, but in the past, there were fewer soldiers and less grain, but now there are more soldiers and more grain. Because the last general heard that some prefectures and counties were indeed poor and could not get food, when he saw the imperial army coming, he often closed the city gates, refused to accept the officials and soldiers, and refused to give grain to help. Liu Renyu replied.

"Hey, it's against them, they are still not our Ming officials, and they still don't obey the master's long live master's management, Liu Zongzhen, you don't have anything to hear about or not heard, just talk about it, you have gone all the way, there are officials in that state and county who refuse to help my Ming officials and soldiers, say it, our family will definitely join him in front of the master Long Live Lord for a crime of ineffective thief." When Chen Dajin heard this, he immediately shouted loudly in anger.

"Gonggong Chen, there is no need to be like this, the left and right generals also bring their own grain and grass, so there is no need to embarrass those magistrates." Liu Renyu thought that the two eunuchs were going to make decisions for themselves, so they repeatedly pushed it and said that they didn't need to.

Who knew that Chen Dajin did not hesitate to say: "Mr. Liu, this matter is definitely not such a statement, there is one of the errands that the master sent us to supervise military affairs, and the imperial decree was issued to all states and counties to levy grain and grass to help military funds, we heard that you are going to bring troops here, so we took care of the states and counties along the way with Xu Junmen,

Let them be sure to supply the army with food and straw in time, they are good, take our words as the wind, if all the officials do the same thing, our army will never get enough food and grass, how can we still have the strength to kill the enemy, when will the thieves be pacified, when will the master be at ease, no, this time these unsightly magistrates, we must find out a few, so that they can be rectified.

Mr. Liu, let's talk about it, what places have you passed along the way? ”

Of course, Liu Renyu will not answer this question, otherwise, according to the meaning of these two fathers-in-law, I am afraid that the magistrates where he passed by will definitely be unlucky, since ancient times, I have been one and the Ming civil officials, if those magistrates were punished by the emperor because of Liu Renyu, there is no doubt that the civil officials in Shanxi will definitely not dare to offend the eunuchs, then they will only be angry with Liu Renyu and disgusted with him.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Renyu smiled at Chen Dajin and said: "Gonggong Chen, please calm your anger, you can't blame them for this, because the last general did things according to the original practice, and did not take the initiative to ask those magistrates for food, so this can't be seen as they don't listen to your two orders, you think this matter is forgotten, how about it?" ”

Chen Dajin listened to Liu Renyu's words, and felt that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Mr. Liu is reasonable, and this matter will be stopped, but if we go out later, we will never spare him if we encounter a state and county magistrate who refuses to provide military supplies." Chen Dajin said solemnly.

"There are two fathers-in-law who enforce the law so impartially and sympathize with the soldiers, so why worry that the thieves will not be destroyed." Liu Renyu said impassionedly.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu said with a smile, now that the Ming Dynasty is making war disasters everywhere, if you don't rely on my Ming soldiers, do you have to rely on those civil officials who can only write articles." Yan Siyin smiled coldly.

"Hehehehe," Liu Renyu listened to what the two fathers-in-law said, and did not express any opinions, he first smirked for a while, and then smiled unabated, and continued to speak: "The two fathers-in-law, before the last general came to Shanxi, he knew that the two fathers-in-law were in Taiyuan City, and the last general originally visited the two fathers-in-law, and it was not good to come empty-handed, so he brought some local products from our Jingbian Fort, which are all worthless things, please don't dislike the two fathers-in-law." ”

After Liu Renyu said this, he made a face at Liu Renjie, Liu Renjie saw this, and immediately stepped forward, and together with Li Jiye, he carried two exquisite boxes, walked up to Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin, and stood respectfully.

This Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin both followed Wang Chengen, and naturally knew that Liu Renyu's gifts had always been like this, so Chen Dajin first replied with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, send a feather for thousands of miles, the courtesy is light and affectionate, as long as Liu Zongzhen has this heart, a few of us will be grateful, we are all acquaintances." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Yan Siyin: "Then Grandpa Yan, since it is difficult for people to be gracious, then we can only be disrespectful, do you say okay?" ”

"Then it's only disrespectful, it's always a kindness from people, and if you don't accept it, it seems that we don't understand the customs." When Yan Siyin said this, he had already taken the box into his arms.

Seeing this, Chen Dajin did the same, and put another box into his arms.

Liu Renyu saw that the two fathers-in-law had accepted their gifts, so he smiled and said, "Two fathers-in-law, Xu Jun has already prepared wine and dinner in the Rijian Hall, do you think the two of you will go out with us ......?" ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Liu will go first, let's pick up and go out." Chen Dajin said with a smile.

"In that case, the last general will go first." Liu Renyu and the generals clasped their fists and saluted.

"Got it, got it." Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin waved their hands.

When Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin waited until Liu Renyu and the others were far away, they couldn't wait to open their respective boxes and take a look, and they were all shocked.

"No wonder Liu Chaoqing bought a set of courtyard houses outside after receiving Liu Renyu's native products, this Liu Renyu is really generous." Chen Dajin sighed.

"Hehe, let me guess, yours and mine should be the same thing, right?" Yan Siyin asked Chen Dajindao.

"He is so good at being a man, of course he gave us the same thing, good guy, no wonder the ancestors think that others are not bad, what he sent this time, we are afraid that it will take a year to earn it." Chen Dajin said with emotion.

"Then you say, after he gave us things, he lost the battle, should we join him." Yan Siyin said.

"Of course we can't participate, we have collected money from others, how can we not speak for others, and besides, have you heard that he has lost a battle?" Chen Dajin asked.

"I've never heard of it." Yan Siyin replied.

"That's right, collect his money, steadily." Chen Dajin said with a smile.

"That's what I said, that's it, let's keep our things well, and then go to have wine and dinner, today is for Liu Renyu and them to catch the wind and wash the dust, so don't do anything again, and when today is over, it's not too late to strictly supervise them." Yan Siyin suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin packed up the box that Liu Renyu gave him, and went away with them to eat wine and dinner.
