Chapter 266: Eunuch Wan Zhong
Wan Zhong spoke, suddenly walked in front of Zhang Fan, the wide sleeves blocked the realization of everyone behind, reached into the cuffs and pulled out a stack of papers that looked very thick and stuffed into Zhang Fan's clothes, and said to Zhang Fan with a flattering face: "This is a meeting gift for the slave maid to meet the adult for the first time, but it is not much, please bear with Lord Zhang, and I hope that Lord Zhang will say a few words for the slave in front of Gonggong Feng in the future,"
Zhang Fan naturally knew what Wan Zhongsai gave him, but he didn't care about this, he felt that this matter was really a little awkward in his heart now.
This Wan Zhong is really bold, knowing that Zhang Fan came to Jiangnan this time to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials and ministers, but he still dared to stuff him with silver so blatantly, of course, Zhang Fan would definitely not accuse anyone of Wan Zhong bribing him or simply arresting him, after all, he can't control what Wan Zhong does, and he can't care about how he got these silvers, but I still have to say that this Wan Zhong's courage can be said to be extremely big.
The second point made Zhang Fan feel awkward, a eunuch who came to read the holy decree would actually stuff silver to the other party, although this dare not be said to be unprecedented, but there is no such thing in Zhang Fan's memory, thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart, being an official is indeed what many people dream of, but this is definitely not Zhang Fan's original intention, and now, Zhang Fan has no other way than to be helpless in his heart, but he has to pretend to be a very happy smile on his face to take these silver, The so-called body is in the red dust, and the body can't help itself.
"This is natural, I think that Gonggong Wan became an angel who delivered the holy decree to His Majesty at such a young age, and now he is serving as a supervisor of the army, and the future can be described as immeasurable, promising," Zhang Fan also knocked it out, anyway, it was full of praise and boasting, although he has not been an official for a long time, but he also knows that not all people with a lower status than you can despise and look down on at will, especially the special group of eunuchs, eunuchs are often in the palace, and often come into contact with princes and nobles and royal families, Who knows when the eunuch who was insulted by you suddenly got the trust of the above, then at that time, for you who insulted him, it will become a mortal threat, in short, remember one, everything is flowing, and the future will be a good sea and sky.
"By the way, Gonggong Wan, I heard that you met His Royal Highness and his party on the way," Zhang Fan didn't want to ask Wan Zhong about Yingyue, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't let go of his worries about Yingyue's safety, so he finally asked.
"Yes, the slave maid did meet His Royal Highness and his party in Yanzhou Mansion," Wan Zhong said, "And Xu Ge Lao and the uncle's family are also traveling with His Highness, Lord Zhang, please rest assured that they did not encounter any trouble along the way, and they are very safe, now that I think about it, it is estimated that His Royal Highness and his party have almost passed Jinan Mansion, and they will arrive in the capital in a few days,"
"That's good, that's good......" Although Zhang Fan had already made up his mind to ask Wan Zhong Yingyue's situation, he didn't know how to say this when it came to his mouth.
"It's just ......" Wan Zhong suddenly looked at Liang Chao who was standing aside, and said, "The slave maid also heard something, and just now I also told the thousand households under Lord Zhang, but I think Lord Zhang doesn't know yet, I heard that after His Royal Highness and his party arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, one of them disappeared, and I heard that the relationship between that person and Lord Zhang is not shallow, "Although Wan Zhong has long known the relationship between Yingyue and Zhang Fan in Yanzhou, but now he has not said so, he mentioned these personal issues, Zhang Fan will be unhappy on face.
"What the hell is going on," Zhang Fan saw that Wan Zhong said it himself, so he couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, but when he saw Wan Zhong looking at Zhang Fan with puzzled eyes, he had no choice but to say, "I can't hide it, the missing woman is Zhang's concubine, although she has not yet entered the door of my Zhang family, but Zhang has made a vow to marry her, but now she is so inexplicably missing, Zhang is really a little worried in his heart, "When Zhang Fan said this, both his words and his expression seemed to be very real, Ninety percent of this is a true portrayal of Zhang Fan's heart now, and another one percent is made by him for Wan Zhong to see, after all, the eunuch is inhumane when he is clean, Zhang Fan is afraid that this kind of talk about the concubine will cause Wan Zhong's dissatisfaction.
"It turns out that Lord Zhang knows," Wan Zhong was very calm, and did not have any abnormal expression, but still looked anxious, and said to Zhang Fan, "No wonder Lord Zhang is so nervous, although the Japanese are stationed in the three cities and there is no change, but no one can say what they will do next, in this case, it is indeed very dangerous for a woman to walk around alone outside, but Lord Zhang can have her movements, so it is good to send someone to find her,"
Zhang Fan didn't speak, but shook his head in great distress.
"Don't panic, Lord Zhang, maybe she's too worried about the safety of adults, so she's coming this way," Wan Zhong said.
"Alas, now I can only hope for this," Zhang Fan said this, immediately changed his expression, smiled at Wan Zhong and said, "This is Zhang's family matter, and now I want to make my father-in-law laugh shamefully,"
"Alas, what did Lord Zhang say," Wan Zhong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Lord Zhang, this is human nature, there is nothing difficult to say, not to mention, if you don't even care about your family, how can such a person put the people in his eyes and act as the minister of the humerus, "Okay, this Wan Zhong can speak very well, and if there is no accident in the future, he will definitely be a character."
"Hehe, my father-in-law praised it," Zhang Fan said modestly, "Let's talk about private matters here, since my father-in-law is now a prisoner, I must know about the situation here,"
"Exactly," Wan Zhong nodded and said, his expression became serious, "This is also the first time for the slave to be a prisoner, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope that Lord Zhang will correct it in time, while the slave and maid have delayed the military affairs, then the slave and the maid will be a big sin, and the adult also knows that the prison army of this dynasty is in charge of meritorious crimes, rewards and punishments, and inspections, but he has no right to ask the generals how to lead the army, so the adults must not care about the slaves and maids, although the actions are, the slaves and maids will never take the initiative to make the slightest request."
"The slave maid also heard a lot of news on the way here, but after all, it is hearsay, and the military slave and maid sent to the capital by the adult have no way to check it, so I don't know what it is like here, and now I have to let the adult tell the slave and maid,"
Wan Zhong's words, not to mention whether what he said in his heart or not, at least it makes people feel comfortable listening to it, Zhang Fan understands why Feng Bao wants this Wan Zhong to come over to be the supervising army, although I don't know if he will speak and command indiscriminately after he really goes into battle with the army, but at least this person is definitely a jack-of-all-trades, knows his identity, and knows when to say what to say.
Zhang Fan was not verbose at the moment, and told Wan Zhong about the current situation here, and after Wan Zhong heard it, he immediately began to scold the defending generals in the south of the Yangtze River: "The generals here are too child's play, even if they don't believe in the words that the adults warned them, they should send more people to patrol the seaside day and night, and these people are doing this, it is simply a negative official position and the money that the court gives them every year, hum, not to mention how much benefit these people have to make in private every year, from the perspective of slaves and maids." , this person died well, but he was too cheap, he should be arrested and put in front of the people in Songjiang Mansion with a thousand knives, so that he could calm the people's anger," Wan Zhong seemed to have forgotten, he was still thinking about Zhang Fan bribing just now, but now he was already scolding others with righteous words.
"Father-in-law, please calm his anger, now that the matter has come to this, it is in vain to say anything, and now it is better to focus on the present," Zhang Fan hurriedly said.
"What Lord Zhang said is," Wan Zhong said, "Now that the adults have a plan,"
"I'm worried that the Japanese invaded us in three ways to disperse our forces, and I'm even more worried that they will converge all the way," Zhang Fan said, "Now I have ordered Zhejiang to send warships to patrol the waterway between Songjiang Mansion and Ningbo Prefecture, and now there are 5,000 elite soldiers led by Lord Hai of the Heavenly Patrol between Songjiang Mansion and Huai'an Mansion to guard it, in case these Japanese Bandits will gather together, if that is the case, it is really tricky for 10,000 Japanese Invaders to gather together."
"Well, Lord Zhang is thinking about it, "I don't know if Wan Zhong understands these things, anyway, he just nodded vigorously and exaggerated what he did well," These widows are all people who have lost their monarchs and been driven out of their own country, but now they want to come to my Heavenly Empire to dig wildfires, and they are really bolder, just to give them some colors to see, to let them know that I am not a man who can touch these lost dogs.
"And now Your Majesty has ordered General Qi to lead his Qi family army south to Pingwan, it is estimated that it will be there in a few days, and then these Japanese will definitely have some lessons, and none of them should be allowed to escape, no, more than 100 people should be left for them to go back, so as to recite the prestige of our Celestial Empire, so that they will not dare to invade from now on,"
To be honest, although Wan Zhong's words were extremely confident, as if he didn't regard the large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders as a thing at all, and although Zhang Fan despised him in his heart, in fact, he also thought the same as Wan Zhong in his heart, and he never took the Japanese invaders seriously.
Especially now, Zhang Fan felt that what he had arranged should be able to resist the Japanese invaders, so that they would not cause greater losses, and the fact is also true, if things really developed according to normal conditions, all this Zhang Fan did could completely resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders.
But he forgot something, when he was in college in his last life, he studied public courses, including "Introduction to Thought", in one of the classes, the teacher who gave the lecture once said a passage in "Mao Xuan": "Strategically we must despise the enemy, and tactically we must attach importance to the enemy,"
And nearly 500 years before the birth of this sentence, the Japanese robbers have vividly interpreted the truth of this sentence,
