"If you don't call your Luo Commander to come, do you have to call my guards?" Zhu Youzhen added another sentence. He heard Lao Niu's shouting, and saw Lao Xu's hesitation, his heart was settled, and he thought to himself: "I'm so young, Wang Chengen is so weak, there should be guards to protect me secretly, right?" ”

The fierce light in Lao Xu's eyes suddenly disappeared. Yes, how can there be no one to protect such a noble person, he is really dizzy.

Lao Xu pulled the old cow and gestured covertly. He was the first to plop down and fall to his knees. The people around him were taken aback by him. Lao Niu didn't react for a while, and shouted strangely, "Lao Xu, you didn't stumble over your legs because you worked too hard last night, right?" Haha, haha".

Lao Xu didn't care to explain to him, and said loudly: "The villains are eager to catch the bandits, and they collide with the nobles, they really deserve death." As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slapped himself hard. snap", and half of his cheeks swelled high. You can see that it was really a real hit.

Lao Niu was really shocked this time. It was the first time for him to see Lao Xu hit himself so hard. Only then did he react, and in a panic, he also knelt down, kowtowing again and again, and there was a sound of knocking.

The handymen around him also plopped and fell to their knees one after another. Only Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen were left standing in the courtyard.

Wang Chengen let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax. still guarded Zhu Youzhen behind him.

Seeing that there was no reaction from the other side, the yellow-faced old Xu raised his left hand and gave himself a hard time. At this moment, his face was symmetrical, the whole was swollen like a pig's head, and his yellow face was about to turn red.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Lao Xu was decisive, and he was ruthless to himself, but he thought a little higher of him in his heart.

Outside the courtyard, several big men rushed in, and Zhu Youzhen, who was the leader, seemed to have some impressions. This should be the palace guards who are secretly protecting him. It is estimated that they saw a group of people rushing into the small building, fearing that something would happen to them, so they rushed in. Well, the reaction was pretty fast. Zhu Youzhen's heart stabilized.

Seeing that the new big men who rushed in were all familiar guards, Wang Chengen put his mind at ease, and then withdrew his hand and stood aside. The guards saw the crowd kneeling in the courtyard and kowtowing, and His Royal Highness King Shin, who was not tall, stood there unharmed. The guards also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and it was not too late to rush in. Several guards didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked through the crowd and blocked in front of Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing several guards appear, Lao Xu's cold sweat had already soaked his underwear. Although these guards are wearing civilian clothes, the boots under their feet are the standard official boots of Dongchang. Those who can wear this kind of official boots are at least the first level of the Dongchang stall.

These Dongchang stalls are just guards. So, what is the identity of that nobleman? Lao Xu himself didn't dare to guess anymore. He only rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he found out relatively early, and he didn't actually offend the nobles. God willing, I hope I can survive this catastrophe safely.

Zhu Youzhen patted the guard in front of him and motioned for him to step aside. The guard smiled apologetically, didn't speak, and dodged out of the way.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the kneeling crowd, frowned, and asked with a solemn face, "You are all from Jinyiwei, right?" Who's to say, what's going on? His small size, childish face, and an adult tone made people want to laugh, but in the eyes of those who knelt down, it felt very terrible. For a moment there was silence in the courtyard.

Zhu Youzhen saw that no one in the crowd spoke for a while, so he stretched out his white and tender little hand and pointed at the black-faced old cow, "Hey, old cow, right?" It's up to you, you talk about it. ”

The old cow raised his head with a bitter face, and his forehead was already dark and green. It can be seen that when he just kowtowed, he didn't dare to make any less effort. Looking at the little demon king in front of him, the old cow muttered. From Lao Niu's messy narrative, Zhu Youzhen figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that this group of people belonged to the fifth small banner under the command of the 100 households in the north of Fusi City (equivalent to the Public Security Bureau) in Jinyi Weibei Town. In the small flag, the black-faced old cow is positive, and the yellow-faced old Xu is paid. The rest of the men were some miscellaneous soldiers. And this Xuanwumen North Street is their jurisdiction.

The house where Zhu Youzhen and the others are staying now was originally called Qingfeng Bookstore, which was a bookstore that sold books. The owner of the bookstore has a deep relationship with Fang Congzhe, the former cabinet leader and leader of the Zhejiang Party.

Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, was attacked by the Donglin Party last year using the palace transfer case and the red pill case. At the end of the year, he was finally ousted from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. Fang Congzhe felt that the matter was no longer successful, and he had no power to return to the sky, so he could only return to his hometown in a gloomy manner. The Zhejiang Party, which had lost the protection of the first assistant, collapsed and was dismissed and deposed one after another. The Donglin Party was not very satisfied with this result, and still used the Red Pill case to implicate itself.

The Red Pill case is interesting to say. It is said that Emperor Taichang did the next night seven times, and the excessive erection caused him to become seriously ill. As a result, the eunuch Cui Wensheng, who saw a doctor, mistakenly took laxatives, which caused Emperor Taichang to have diarrhea 37 or 8 times in one night, causing his body to be seriously empty and enter a dying state. At that time, Li Kezhuo, who served as the head of Honglu Temple, offered the miraculous medicine Red Pill, claiming to be a secret elixir that could cure all diseases. Emperor Taichang was estimated to have been in a hurry to go to the hospital at that time. However, after Emperor Taichang took it for the first time, his spirit improved, and Fang Congzhe passed on the edict and rewarded Li Kezhuo with 50 taels of silver. When Emperor Taichang took the red pill for the second time, he died. It can be said that the red pill is the direct cause of the death of Emperor Taichang, and if it is really investigated, it will be a serious case suspected of killing the monarch.

But the funny thing is that the two direct figures who caused the rapid deterioration and death of Emperor Taichang's condition: Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo, have not been clearly dealt with until now. On the contrary, Fang Congzhe, who had little to do with the case, was forced to return to his hometown. also led a large number of Zhejiang Party members to fall from power. With such a wanton implication, the Donglin Party clearly means something else.

The owner of the bookstore saw that the situation was not good, Fang Congzhe was about to leave Beijing, and he also left in a hurry with his family. Sure enough, the Donglin Party did not let go of this den of the Zhejiang Party, and turned around and searched the bookstore on suspicion of being involved in the Red Pill case. The deed was also given as a gift to Father-in-law Wei. For some reason, the seal of the brocade guard on the door of this bookstore has not been removed.

Today, Zhu Youzhen and the two of them tore off the seal in broad daylight, opened the door and entered in a grand manner, and they were seen by the military remnants. Niu Xu and the others, who got the report, happened to be nearby, so the two brought a few handymen to arrest them. That's the general way things go.

Zhu Youzhen was still a little puzzled, in his heart, the eunuchs in the palace were not very majestic, how could Jinyiwei not be afraid at all. He asked again: "Why do you dare to do it when you see Wang Mian's waist card?" ”

The black-faced old cow glanced at Lao Xu complainingly, Lao Xu raised his swollen face like a pig's head, and replied vaguely, the voice was vague and inaudible.

Zhu Youzhen pointed his little finger at Lao Niu again, "Let's talk about it." ”

Lao Niu sighed in his heart, and reluctantly explained: This Xuanwu North Street is a rich neighborhood. Those who set up shop here are either rich or expensive. But there will inevitably be clashes on the streets. When a conflict arises, there needs to be someone to mediate.

This neighborhood is close to the Xuanwu Gate, and many of the buying and selling businesses actually rely on the inner court. Most of them are inextricably linked to the palace. When the chamberlain in the palace receives money from people, he will eliminate disasters for people. It is inevitable that he will come out to make peace for others, and the one who comes out the most is the eight-pin envoy.

Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen glanced at each other, and it was obvious that Lao Xu regarded Wang Chengen as the kind of envoy who did the same thing. Now that the matter is clear, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand generously and said, "Let's go, polish your eyes a little next time." Get out of here. "He's enjoying the feeling of being a big guy and it's nice to be able to talk like that.

Lao Xu and Lao Niu were a little surprised that this little noble man was so easy to talk to. I was overjoyed, and I didn't dare to say more, so I quickly kowtowed a few times, got up and fled in a hurry with the remaining military officers.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about them, turned his head and smiled and asked the guard headed by him, "This big brother doesn't know ...... you."

Zhu Youzhen didn't finish his words. Several guards knelt down together, and the guards led by him spoke: "His Royal Highness the King of Faith forgives the sin, and the lowly East Factory stall head Chu Tianxing's guards are not good, please punish him?" The four guards next to him also followed him, and they all opened their mouths to ask for punishment.
