Chapter 388. Mao Jue's Infernal Affairs

This famous game that was willing to be used in later movies was used by Mao Jue.

In just ten minutes, a test of human nature.

Seriously, Mao Jue is not afraid of eight people hugging each other at all, and even seven people will be killed voluntarily, and it is impossible to keep one person back! Even in modern times, there are all kinds of contradictions in a small group, not to mention the Jinyi Wei who are even more opposing in this era, sure enough, the first to be stabbed to death was Zhao Lian of Baihu and Li Dabiao of the general banner, and the two of them may stab each other.

The two leaders are killed first, and then there are six people left, and it is a new round of elimination, first of all, the usual force is the highest, the strongest is the first to bear the brunt, and the weak-willed survival ability is almost able to eliminate two, how to talk to Mao Jue I don't know, anyway, the remaining three people competed with each other, and finally the one left is neither the highest status, nor the strongest, but definitely the most scheming, the most hidden, the most ruthless as iron, and the most disrespectful, so that people will not be loyal to anyone, who will give him more benefits, He will be loyal to whomever he is.

Looking at the brocade guard who was tearing the venison on his stuffy head, drinking wine to relieve the pain, and his back and stomach were being bandaged by his own soldiers, looking at his plain and featureless long sideburns face, Mao Jue nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"What do you call Your Excellency?"

"Villain Lu Zhong!"

"Heh, Lu Zhong, good name!"

This name is really ridiculous, Mao Jue couldn't help but sneer and nodded, and then, Mao Jue asked meaningfully.

"Lu Zhong, are you loyal to the emperor or to the silver?"

The cheeks that were munching on venison suddenly stopped abruptly, and put down the wine jar, and the eyes of the brocade guard turned abruptly, which instantly reminded Mao Jue of the wolf he encountered when he went up the mountain to shoot!

But in an instant, Mao Jue's smile was a little more overflowing.

…………

The snow in the Beijing division seems to be a little thicker than that outside the gate, and it is said that the snow is a good year, but for the poor people in the capital division, it is better to have less snow, early in the morning, a few soldiers in black robes of the Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses Division patrols the city in their hands with hot air, scolding and scolding to drive the cart, on the car, the dead people who are frozen hard and the roe deer that the Dongjiang Winter Hunt down, are piled up in bundles on the car.

The sun rose slowly, and the flowers hiding in the City God Temple also came out in groups, and in a short time, they actually blocked half of the street, and they lazily hugged their arms and shrunk into a ball.

Seeing them come out, the soldiers of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were pushing the cart to collect the corpses actually restrained their scolding, and accelerated their pace in the car, looking left and right with a little jealousy.

People are extremely rich, poor and extravagant, and they are feared, and people are extremely poor and vicious, even more feared than the rich, because the poor have only one life left, and they are not afraid of anything.

A few days ago, it was said that a few scholars from other places were ignorant, and they took a little scholar to wander around Sijiu City in a daze, but they didn't see it when they came in.

These scholars also have a bit of a background in Beijing, and it is said that after reporting to the official, dozens of brocade guards rushed in, and as a result, they fished out a few bone racks, and the meat was shaved.

Although in broad daylight, these rough and big-headed soldiers should not be attacked, but under the palpitating eyes of these flower hungry people, they can still go as fast as they can.

It was not far from Tonghua Gate here, and in the morning, it suddenly became lively, and only then did it come out of the flower children gathered, and without waiting for a few people from the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to breathe a sigh of relief, they immediately looked at the past in disbelief.

"Why are there so many scholars?"

Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, the top class of the Beijing division is none other than the royal nobles, these people live in the inner city, and the second-level scholars and civil officials are also next to the root of the imperial city, which is near the city gate is either a merchant or a common poor family, it is rare to see a few scholars passing by on weekdays, but this time it is enough to gather hundreds of people.

In the stunned eyes of these nine-city soldiers and horses, with a creak, the Tonghua Gate suddenly opened, and several four-wheeled carriages that were completely different from the Jingshi carriage began to march rapidly towards the city, but before they entered the city gate, these scholars and scholars, some seven- and eight-grade petty officials had already surrounded them like crazy.

In the crackling sound, snowballs, rotten eggs, stones, rotten vegetable leaves were thrown all over the place, and the smashed glass windows were slamming, don't think that the literati are civilized and cultured, in the foul language, there are scolding and everything, how ugly it is to hear and how ugly it is, but the most one sentence is still a chaotic thief!

The news in the court is infinitely close to the bamboo basket to draw water, leaking everywhere, since Emperor Chongzhen asked the Dongjiang River, there have been people who have been concerned, Chen Zanzhong Wang Jiyan returned to Beijing in a gloomy manner, and it is a matter of the Dongjiang Dynasty, and now Mao Wenlong has entered Beijing, which has directly ignited the small universe in the chest of those scholars and literati who claim to be righteous in the officialdom, and the siege is inevitable.

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!

The chaotic shouting and scolding lasted for a minute or two, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities who reacted surrounded them in the angry voice of the commander, formed a human wall, and forcibly hugged the convoy towards the city, following all the way, these literati still cursed non-stop, as if the Jingshi City ushered in not an old general who had guarded the frontier for more than 30 years, but Huang Taiji killed him.

Mao Wenlong also attracted too many eyeballs, no one noticed, followed by the back of the convoy, a brocade guard wearing shabby robes and a bandage on one arm led the horse, with a few packages, and trekked in with difficulty.

Looking at the stone snowball thrown on the ground, and faintly hearing the sound of abuse in the distance, this brocade guard sneered mockingly, and he didn't know if he was laughing at those scholars, or if he was laughing at a big boss in the north who was not cold-blooded and ruthless enough.

followed into the city from Tonghua Gate, and in a blink of an eye, this brocade guard disappeared into the pale streets and alleys of Jingshi.

Because of its noble status, the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si Yamen is not scattered in the streets and alleys of the Beijing Division like other pro-army yamen, but is close to the root of the imperial city, the west side of the main gate Chengtianmen Thousand Step Corridor, next to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and its importance can be seen from afar.

However, the decay of the Ming Empire has also been mentioned here, although the plaque of the main gate is majestic, but the vermilion lacquer on the gate is obviously old, the two guards of the brocade pro-army that flying fish robe brocade hat is also the appearance of historical vicissitudes, the brocade guard is the emperor's pro-army, not only responsible for reconnaissance and seizure, but the more important work is for the emperor's honor guard, but the pro-army has not been issued a new set of clothes for several years, the two guards rubbed their hands coldly from time to time, muttering dirty words in their mouths.

"Mark Lu Zhong, pass the decree and return to your life!"

Looking at Lu Zhong who was kneeling on the ground wrapped in a burden, Zhu Tai was really surprised, in the fierce collision between the two empires of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the eight brocade guards were too small, and there was no news of them since the Dongjiang War, and even on the roster, Zhu Tai ticked off their names, this Lu Zhong came back coldly, and almost didn't let Zhu Tai think that he had cheated the corpse.

"How did you get back? What's going on in the last few months? General Banner Li Dabiao, where is Zhao Lian of 100 households? ”

"Master Hui Qian, April 11, the boat under the mark encountered the wind and hit the reef, encountered the Tartar patrol, the next line was captured, was imprisoned in Gaizhou, Li Zongqi was martyred, on the eighth day of September, Jiannu for some reason, gathered in Shenyang, the care was reduced, we escaped from prison, Zhao Zongqi was killed in the city gate, all colleagues were killed one after another, and the mark ran to the beach at the risk of death, grabbed the boat and went to sea, and then escaped!"

This experience is legendary enough, and hundreds of households in the house all stood up incredulously, and muttered for a few seconds, and Zhu Tai asked with a gloomy face.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Master Hui, the evidence is only the head!"

As soon as the burden was opened, a fishy smell suddenly filled the room, and two hideous faces were exposed like a big steamed bun, and the grinning appearance seemed to be frozen in the moment before death, and the two heads were all bald, leaving only a handful of money rat tail cheekbones raised, at a glance, it was not the appearance of the Central Plains.

It is really worthy of Jinyiwei, raw and cooked, and it doesn't matter if this head is cold, a hundred households on the side reached out and pinched their mouths, looked at the teeth, and pulled the eyes of the other head away, and then nodded at Zhu Tai of the thousand households.

"A Mongolian Tartar! A real captivity!"

His face suddenly became a lot kinder, and Zhu Tai laughed and reached out to pull Lu Zhong up, patted him on the shoulder, and said praisefully.

"Lu Lishi is really a loyal and brave person, he is trapped in the dust and does not forget the Ming Dynasty, and he can also return from the head of the East and the captivity! He's really one of the best warriors in my brocade guard!"

"Lu Lishi is also tired these days, your merits will be reported to the commander, Lu Lishi will go down and rest first!"

"Master Xie! Master, I got some interesting information under the mark, please read it for yourself!"

Still a burden at Zhu Tai's feet, kowtowed, this Lu Zhong looked physically and mentally exhausted, and walked backwards out of the signing warm house, watching him walk away, Zhu Tai's expression was clouded, and he looked left and right and asked.

"What do you think?"

"It should be impossible to kill a Jianzhou man and a Mongol in order to send a nail, and there is no precedent for this, so he shouldn't be a spy."

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, send someone to keep an eye on him first! Ben will sort out a copy of the text and go to the commander to report it first. ”

"Master, you are wise!"

In the respectful send-off of several hundreds of households, Zhu Tai reached out and pulled up the burden left by Lu Zhong, and the two pro-soldiers at the door picked up their heads and took them out of the door first.

However, when the door was closed, Zhu Tai did not pick up the pen and ink for the first time, but hurriedly opened the second burden, and sure enough, it was not a black leather text information, but a few heavy gold and silver objects.

Although these things have been trampled flat, it is estimated that the value of the metal itself is left, but these things are enough for two or three hundred taels, and there seems to be a faint blood mark on them, which seems to confirm Lu Zhong's words, but at this time, Zhu Tai obviously didn't care about this, stepped on a few pieces of gold and silverware more flat, stroked his beard, and nodded approvingly.

This kid has a future!
