Chapter 742: The Virtuous Father Invites Foreign Aid and Smashes the Yellow Dragon Late at Night

Among the three divisions of the yamen, the regulation of the feudal division and the capital division is the largest, and there are three big official offices and hundreds of rooms in the back of the political department. The official mansion of the Zhang family occupies the largest area, in addition to the three courtyards that are connected to each other, the garden living water and the washing room and so on, and it is a small mansion gate. Therefore, after arriving here, Sun just felt that the weather was too hot, and the rest were more comfortable than in Beijing. At this time, the gripping sound of the closed-door drum had already sounded outside, and she couldn't help but lose her temper at Zhang Zhuo with a smile on her face for many days.

"Master, it's been such a time, how can we still sit here again!"

"The Yamen of the Metropolitan Division has sent soldiers to guard the whole city, and there are more than a dozen people watching the front and back doors of the Political Secretary, where are you going to go if you don't sit? As long as that Marquis Zhenyuan doesn't think about rebellion, our son won't be able to do anything! Besides, Peng Shisan had already inquired. Zhang Zhuo beat his wife's temper down in two sentences, and saw her head hanging down with bitterness on her face, he glanced at Du Juan next to him, and had to comfort him with kind words, "My daughter-in-law has already told you just now, Yue'er has foreseen it, didn't he say that in case he is detained somewhere, so that we don't have to worry, he has arranged it properly." ”

"He's not an immortal, how can there be so many good arrangements!"

Sun muttered, then sighed deeply and said no more. In the past, she was a trembling little daughter-in-law at home, so she hoped that her husband and son would have a good future and be able to raise their eyebrows in front of outsiders; But when it really came to this point, she felt that the price of living in eight seats and calling Bainuo really made her heart tremble, and it was better to live a peaceful life. She raised her head and saw that Zhang Zuo's face was sinking like water, as if she was thinking about something, so she simply stood up.

"Juan'er, let's go back to the room and talk, let the man's affairs be taken care of by the man!"

Du Juan was still thinking about the solemn appearance when Zhang Yue instructed him before, and the handkerchief in his hand had been crumpled unconsciously. Although it wasn't the first time, and this time it was definitely not the most dangerous, but the more it was, the more she felt that good things were more grinding and bad things were grinding...... When he arrived in Guangzhou half a year ago, Zhang Yue said with a smile that now the wind and waves are calm, which is the most suitable for relaxation and recuperation, but in a blink of an eye, it has become such a scene, this God is really going to toss people!

"Juan'er?"

waited until she remembered another call in her ear, Du Juan suddenly came to her senses, and saw that Sun was already standing in front of her with a surprised face, and she couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until the mother-in-law on the other side repeated it again that she quickly nodded. When she stepped forward to pick up someone, she felt Sun gently pat her hand again.

"I think your father-in-law and I were also worried when we were in Jingnan, and now you are too...... I'm really sorry for you. ”

As soon as his wife and daughter-in-law retreated like this, Zhang Zhuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that his daughter-in-law was comforting, the Sun family didn't have to worry about it anymore, so he immediately ordered someone to go out and gather all the men in the family to the front yard. After saying a word of steadyness, he let the crowd disperse, and he returned to the house. Although the food had been delivered from the kitchen, he had no appetite at all, and immediately ordered him to withdraw. Just when the daughter-in-law who delivered the meal had no choice but to put away her things and leave, there was a voice outside.

"Master, Uncle Peng is back!"

"Hurry up and invite him in, and you all get out of the way!" Zhang Zhuo immediately stood up, and said to the daughter-in-law who was about to leave with the food box, "Put everything on the table, add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, etc." ”

When Peng Shisan opened the curtain from outside and went straight into the east room, he smelled the smell of food in the house. Seeing that a casserole was already set up on the small table by the window, four white porcelain stilt basins, and bowls, chopsticks and rice, he stepped forward and saluted, and then sat down without saying a word, because he said with a smile: "I walked around outside the Dusi Yamen, and was thinking about whether to sneak in and take a look after the drum sounded at dusk, but I encountered a strange incident." I don't know who asked a little kid to stuff a note for me, so I had to buy the little guy a lot of snacks there, and then I sent him away. ”

As he spoke, he took out the paper ball and gave it to Zhang Zhuo, and when he saw that he hurriedly spread it out and looked at it carefully, he explained beside him: "It's the young master's handwriting, look at this situation, the situation of the Dusi Yamen is strange." ”

"No matter how weird it is, it's better than being stuck in it and unable to move!"

Zhang Zhuo was relieved to fold the note and put it neatly into the bag tied around his waist, and then pointed to the table and said, "I ran for two days, and I encountered such a shocking thing, and my stomach was empty at this time." Eat with me, and go back to accompany your daughter-in-law. When Yue'er comes back, I will definitely give him a hard beating, even if we are too busy to spare, such a big thing, he only talks to his daughter-in-law, and doesn't tell anyone else! ”

In the large casserole on the table is the hot fish head tofu soup, using all kinds of fresh fish and hand-ground tofu caught from the Pearl River Estuary, and the snow-white soup is covered with green onions, which makes people salivate when they look at it. The four pots of vegetables are two meat and two vegetables, drunk meat and chicken feet and fried bean sprouts with celery, all of which are the most refreshing. After drinking a bowl of hot fish soup, Peng Shisan only felt that he was sweating profusely, but it was much more comfortable than the slimy situation just now when he wanted to sweat but couldn't. Although those merchants outside were also good to eat and drink, but today the two of them ate all the dishes cleanly, and Peng Shisan also asked someone to add rice twice. Even Zhang Zuo, who has always followed the principle of cherishing blessings and cultivating one's health, has eaten a happy meal for the first time.

"It's a pleasure! The big fish and meat out there can't compare to these at all! After rinsing his mouth and picking up the tea, Zhang Zuo saw Peng Shisan's restless look, so he smiled and said, "What are you doing sitting here, go back quickly!" ”

When Peng Shisan smiled and hugged his fists and pulled his legs away, he took a sip of tea lightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the dim and unknown roof. His son let him only take care of the rest of the mess, just because he was afraid that something would happen to him, but now that he knows, if he completely leaves, is this still like a father?

Thinking of this, he put down the teacup and got up and went to the Westinghouse. After grinding an inkstone slowly, he dipped his pen in thick ink and wrote a few words on an open plain paper - "Brother Junjian, the Duke of Qianguo." ”

Since there are more than 100 people in the entire city of Guangzhou, and it was the people sent by the Dusi Yamen to act before, the city guards became turtles with shrunken heads after closing the city gates, and they didn't even dare to say a word. At this time, the footsteps of the pro-army of the Dusi Yamen can be heard all over the street, and the people on the street are all closed doors. The occasional exclamation quickly disappeared in the silent night sky.

And those figures who were watching in the shadows were also unexplained by the pond fish, and they were caught by the army several at once. No matter how they explained, the sergeants still tied people up mercilessly, even gagged them. If you are not honest, you will be knocked out directly with the handle of the knife. When passing by the door of a large mansion, Li Long suddenly raised his right hand to signal to stop.

"Du Shuai, this is the Xu family's mansion, why did you stop here?" The commander of the commander behind him, Guan Dongzhou, hurriedly rushed up, and asked with a suspicious face, "Didn't you say that you led the troops to catch the rebels?" ”

"Rebellious? Rebellion is here! ”

Guan Dongzhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said in disbelief: "How is it possible, what we want to arrest are those Li people who are plotting to rebel against the imperial court in Guangdong, this Xu family is a businessman, how can the rebellion be here?" ”

"How could it be?" Li Long turned around and said with a smile, "Besides, who told you that this division is going to arrest those Li people, could it be the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" Guan Dongzhou, you are the oldest in the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, and you have always wanted to be promoted to the position of the commander as soon as possible, isn't it? Marquis Zhenyuan is a top noble, and his promise to you should not be low, right? Let you look at me, and in the end report all my bad deeds, and he will participate in a copy, and then you can rightfully replace them, right? ”

"Li Dushuai, where did you start with these words!"

"You don't have to be so loud!"

Under the strong light of the torch, Li Long smiled, and his face showed a deep sneer: "When I first arrived, you made countless stumbling blocks for me, do you think I don't know? After the Marquis of Zhenyuan first came to expose my private transfer of military rations, he stayed until he lived in the Yamen of the Dusi, and within a few days he found out all my details clearly, do you think I didn't suspect it? Stamp my commander with the big seal on the blank troop transfer paperwork, do you think I'm in the dark? Guan Dongzhou, you are so daring! ”

In front of the Xu family in the dead of night, Li Long revealed all these things one by one, and Guan Dongzhou's face suddenly turned pale. Glancing at the officers and soldiers around him who rushed into the Xu family like wolves, he couldn't help but gasp, and stammered for a long time before he stammered, "It turns out ...... It turns out that you have already designed, so ...... So it's all your henchmen...... You did it on purpose, and if you calculate it, I will lend all my own people to the Marquis of Zhenyuan......"

"That's nature, to eradicate the thief, naturally I have to use my own henchmen! Who made you stupid to get home in a hurry! ”

By now, Guan Dongzhou already knew that tonight's affairs were bound to be difficult to get right, but when this crisis came, he had to give it a try with the last bit of luck, so he stubbornly said: "Li Dushuai, but don't forget, Gonggong Zhang and Master Zhang were personally ordered by you to be detained in our Yamen!" Of course, they will record this account on the head of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but you have received so many benefits from others, but you have sold them backhandedly, even if you take me, you will not be able to please me! You have already boarded the Hou Ye's ship, and if you want to get off the ship, you will sink and drown. What's more, Hou Ye has already planned everything, you still have time to rein in the precipice, don't listen to people's demagoguery......"

"Don't listen to anyone's demagoguery?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Guan Dongzhou suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. He didn't hear those voices in the Xu family's compound anymore, but he turned his head stiffly little by little, and when he saw that several of the personal soldiers behind Li Long gave way to open the way, and one person slowly stepped forward from behind, he suddenly felt bitter in his throat, and then became angry.

"Zhang Yue!"

He burst out these two words viciously, turned his head to look around again, and asked with a sneer: "Since you are here, then presumably Gonggong Zhang has also been let go by Li Long, a two-faced villain?" ”

"Father-in-law Zhang went to the Jinyi Wei Guangdong Health Center, and he is not here at this time."

Thinking that he has worked hard for many years, but now that he is nearly sixty years old but he is not able to seal the provincial capital, Guan Dongzhou has the determination to fight to the end, after all, as a military attaché, he always has a bit of strength that is not afraid of heaven and earth. But as soon as the three words of Jin Yiwei came out, he was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, naturally kept saying in front of him that the civil strife was imminent, but although he was a rough man, he was not a stupid person, and he had stayed in Guangdong longer than Li Long, so of course he knew that this matter was very hanging. It's just that because Gu Xingzu's promise is too good, and he said that he will be promoted to the commander after he succeeds. The Zhang family is certainly powerful, but Gu Xingzu said that he just wanted Zhang Yue to hit a big nail and transfer him to another party with Zhang Qian, and when the time comes, the two of them will have military merits for nothing, as long as he can stay in Guangdong and Gu Xingzu can stay in Guizhou, then what does the DPRK and China have to do with them? But if Jinyi Wei intervenes, he will have to fight in front of the palace! No wonder Li Long can know those things, it is clear that Jin Yiwei has already intervened!

Riding a horse and stopping beside Li Long, seeing that four or five pro-soldiers had already tightened Guan Dong's surroundings, Zhang Yue turned his head to look at the Xu family. Through the high wall, you can still see the light of the torch, and there is endless shouting and shouting, and occasionally someone runs out of the door, but is driven in with the back of a knife by the people who have long been stopped outside.

Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, came from afar and was not familiar with the situation in Guangdong, and the Xu family was like his eyes and ears. Under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei, the Xu family's every move is in full view, and now the net is closed in order to be able to get all the stolen goods. He arrested Xu Zhengping and moved the Xu family, not completely on the one hand, but also hoped that the public trial could confirm the crime, but he didn't expect it to turn into a huge farce. Now, as long as the Jinyi Wei eyeliner in the inner circle can successfully get all the letters and business accounts that should be exchanged, then he has the first key to victory.

"Lord Zhang, over there in Qiongzhou Mansion, are you really sure?"

Li Long got closer, and seeing that Zhang Yue didn't answer, he couldn't help but be a little anxious: "You are a political envoy, so naturally you can't leave Guangzhou, but Gonggong Zhang can go!" He is a person in the palace, even if the Marquis of Zhenyuan has great courage, he can't do things absolutely without it. Who else has the courage to deal with the marquis of the dynasty? ”

"Father-in-law Zhang is over sixty years old this year, Guangzhou is 1,750 miles away from Qiongzhou Mansion, and he still needs to cross the sea, how can you let him rush over? There is no need to think about this matter anymore, the Qiongzhou Mansion should be able to pass the customs safely. ”

After asking Li Long, Zhang Yue noticed a figure who walked out of the door smoothly. I saw that the man rushed forward in three steps and two steps, bowed down and handed over a thick silk cloth bag with both hands.

"Lord Zhang, I am fortunate not to be dishonored!"
