Chapter 116: Five thunderbolts after the thunderbolt on a sunny day

Although Zhang Hui didn't like Zhang Yue, and was even more reluctant to take such a cousin to Beijing, it was easy to get past the stubborn Mrs. Wang, and it was easy to overpower the third brother Zhang Yue, so Zhang Yue, who was not pleasing to the eye in the past, was nothing at this time. In his opinion, a little Xiucai who has just turned fifteen years old really has nothing to scruple about, Xiucai's poor reputation is not a lot of money to grab on Jingshi Street?

If this were as usual, Zhang Xuan would have to fan the flames next to him and throw a few words, but this time his stomach was full of fire, where would he still have the heart to remind the second brother who was alive. So, when he set off from the wharf outside Jinchuan Gate on this day, he didn't show up at all, and only ordered someone to say that he was also sick.

This time when they went to Beijing in a hurry, the Zhang family naturally didn't care about any pomp, and the people who saw them off on the dock were a few of their own family members. No matter how much Zhang Hui hoped in his heart, he had to fold a heavy look on his face at this time, and he didn't return to his usual complexion until he turned around and boarded the ship.

And Zhang Yue went from north to south half a year ago, and now he has to go from south to north, so he had to say a few more words to his father who came to see him off, but before he could get to the really important point, they heard a sound of horses' hooves at the same time. At this time, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows strangely: "The sound of this horse's hooves is neat and tight, how can it seem to be a person in the army?" ”

Waijinchuanmen Wharf is an important wharf leading to the canal of the Yangtze River, there are many cargo ships and passenger ships on weekdays, whether it is to transport goods or transport people need horses, this sound of horses' hooves is not surprising. However, at this time, although the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, it carried a rhythm, as if the knights riding the horses were all well-trained. When such a group of people appeared in the field of vision at a gallop, Zhang Yue didn't know whether to say that he was like a god, or whether to say that he was a crow's mouth.

When he saw the man at the head, all he could think of was seven words—looking down and not looking up—that someone was haunted. Or is he too close to someone? However, when he saw the two prisoner carts behind him, his face changed dramatically. He didn't know the people in the back car, but the people in the car in front of him had met him in the Du family.

It turned out to be a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and the right Chunfang of the East Palace is good for Liang Qian!

At that moment, Zhang Yue only felt that a cold air came out from the depths of his heart, and it spread out to his limbs and hundreds of bones in an instant. Although he is not a well-informed person, he is also a nephew of the British commons. Even if you don't ask, there is a lot of news delivered to your door. For example, Liang Qian was arrested by Jinyiwei, at least he didn't get any news at all, and he didn't know what was going on. He vaguely felt that God felt that the thunderbolt on a sunny day was not ruthless enough, so he simply came to the top with five thunderbolts.

The person who led the Jinyi Guard was the commander Yuan Fang, and the one who was riding on his side at this time was exactly what Zhang Yue had seen twice before, and not long ago, he was promoted to Mu Ning, who was promoted to the Jinyi Guard, Henan Wei and the Thousand Households. It's just that now the other party is wearing a more gorgeous and ostentatious brocade robe. Zhang Yue knew that this one had been promoted again, but it was difficult to say what position he would be promoted.

His consternation, however, lasted only a short time. The next moment, he suddenly remembered the strange post his father had received earlier, and immediately glanced at his father's expression quietly. But what made him very disappointed was when Zhang Zhuo saw the person on the horse over there. I didn't blink my eyelids, let alone make any strange expressions. At this time, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, was it just a coincidence that the post that was signed was Di Muning Baibai?

Although there are still doubts in my heart. But compared to the previous situation where he couldn't get in with all kinds of speculation, Zhang Yue obviously had some clues now, and now was not the time to think about these messy things, so he quickly put his hand away. When he went to Liang Qian, who was dressed in a cloth robe and looked haggard in the threshold, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the other party's kind appearance in Du Mansion that day.

Liang Qian was a pure literati at first glance, although he had only come to the door once after meeting the Du family once, he felt that this person was a decent person. Why is such a person being held by the Jinyi guard, and it seems that he is going to be sent out of the capital division?

Zhang Hui was on the pedal at this time, and he also turned around when he heard the sound of horses' hooves. He is the commander of the Shen Cewei and is subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and the Jinyi Guard is the Upper Twelve Guards, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Moreover, compared to the other commanders of the Twelve Guards, the authority of the commanders of the Jinyi Guards has always been independent and high. Even if it's as expensive as him. At this time, seeing Yuan Fang, he also greeted him with a smile. Yin asked: "Commander Yuan, how can you personally escort the car?" ”

"This is a serious case. The emperor instructed me to immediately release the right Chunfang, the right Zanshan, Liang Qian, and the priest Zhou Mian to Beijing. After Yuan Fang got off the horse, he bowed slightly, glanced back at the people in the two cars, and then said with a smile, "Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, I also just got the information yesterday, and I arrested people overnight, so I have to escort people on the road now." The affairs of Jinyiwei and Beizhen Fusi in the capital were all handed over to Mu Zhenfu, the new Fusi of Beizhen. ”

Even if he didn't care much about the affairs of the court, Zhang Hui also knew that Liang Qian was the one who was ordered to stay in Beijing to assist the prince, so he couldn't help but shudder, and instinctively moved half a step away from Yuan Fang. He looked around, and found that next to his ship was a big ship, which must have been used by the Jinyi Guard, so he hurriedly boarded the boat after a few more greetings, and was no longer willing to say a word to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who seemed to exude a cold aura all over his body.

Zhang Yue was only a few steps away from Yuan Fang at this time, and when he saw Zhang Hui fleeing onto the boat like a plague god, he couldn't help frowning. Thinking that a once trusted courtier like Liang Qian ended up like this, he only felt that he couldn't say anything in his heart, so he hurriedly said a few more words to his father Zhang Zhuo, and after saying goodbye, he also got on the boat. When his big ship slowly started, he stared intently at the dock, and saw that Zhang Zuo got into the carriage and left without saying a word to Yuan Fang, and he was suddenly even more puzzled.

It was not a pleasant experience to travel with Zhang Hui and his son, but when he was followed by a large ship that was unhurriedly subordinate to Jinyiwei, the feeling of being like a maggot with a bone would not go away. The two ships also maintained a distance that could be seen from a distance, and the other party did not exceed or lag behind, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable it made the ship boss and the sailors feel uncomfortable, and in the end, Zhang Yue even heard Zhang Hui's angry scolding in the cabin next door.

"What are those brocade guards doing! Since they are escorting important criminals, they can drive the boat faster and drive us over. Hanging behind in such an unhurried way, is it a ghost with hanging boots! ”

In these years, the south was the land of fish and rice, but the north had always been short of food, so the canal transportation connecting the north and the south was naturally very important. Since the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di is still in Beijing, there are extremely many grain ships traveling from south to north on this canal, but only official ships are relatively rare, so there are few ships around the front and back two ships. This time it was not as good as the last time the three brothers walked together, so Zhang Yue was okay and tried not to wander on the deck. Only if you can't hold it back, you can go up to breathe.

Because they were in a hurry to get to Beijing, except for supplies, the people on the boat did not get off the ship, although the boat boss and sailors were accustomed to making a living on the water, but there were more people who were not used to it, and there were people on the deck almost all the time to breathe. After dinner in the cabin that day, as soon as Zhang Yue went on deck, he saw Zhang Hui and Zhang Bin father and son standing at the stern of the ship, so he had to glance at the big ship behind him with the flag of Jinyiwei.

As soon as Zhang Hui turned his head, he saw Zhang Yue. Because of Zhang Zhuo's first words. He felt that this cousin knew each other, so he even looked at Zhang Yue and felt a little pleasing to the eye, and immediately ordered lightly: "You can get to Tianjin in a few days, and Beijing is not far away." This section of the road is longer than the last time you took a boat from Kaifeng to Beijing, and we have to take the land route to Tongzhou Canal Wharf. If you're tired, rest in the cabin. ”

As soon as Zhang Bin saw Zhang Yue, he remembered the humiliating scene in the peach blossom forest of Qixia Temple last time, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and then he raised his head and kept silent, but when he didn't see his cousin, he said: "Dad." I was dizzy when the boat sat down on this way, why don't you go to Tianjin and rest for half a day? Just half a day! The eldest uncle has always been tough, and he doesn't lack this half a day, right? ”

"Nonsense, get off the boat when you arrive in Tongzhou, can't you afford to wait for so many days? If your eldest uncle has three longs and two shorts and you can't catch up, then what else will I take you for! ”

"Anyway, let's rush over, what's there to worry about......"

The more the father and son talked, the more unpleasant they became. Zhang Yue was annoyed in his heart, so he simply walked in the direction of the bow of the boat. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and a crescent moon hung dimly in the northwest corner, and a few stars could be faintly seen. He couldn't help but sigh deeply when he remembered that if it hadn't been for this sudden incident, he would have been on the boat to Kaifeng at this time, and he should have seen his mother, sister and others soon, but at this time he would have to go to Beijing to face some kind of unknowable future.

The Ming Dynasty's civil and military troika is still quite stable. The military attache was even slightly taller than Wenchen. If there is no future Chongwen and military suppression, there will be no change in the civil fort. The military system of the Ming Dynasty may not be corrupted step by step to the final state, and there may not be a Manchu Qing dynasty in the Central Plains. In any case, today's British public Zhang Fu is the vane of military attachés, and this is absolutely unacceptable. Besides, Zhang Fu is impeccable whether he is an official or a person, could it be that the consequence of his crossing is that good people don't live long?

Although it was an urgent matter, because Mrs. Wang was not at ease, Zhang Yue still brought two girls Amber Autumn Mark this time, plus Lian Sheng Lianhu and Gao Quan, in addition to Peng Shisan and three British generals. Since this master rarely goes on deck, the others dare not make a mistake, especially Gao Quan, who is stuffed in the cabin all day long. He was the butler, and he had a small cabin to himself, where an oil lamp was lit, and he was writing calculations on a piece of paper, and at last rubbing his temples wearily.

Although the last time the eldest master Zhang Xin said that he used the two thousand taels of gold, in fact, there was a British official Zhang Fu, and most of the money was spit out by those officials afterwards, but Zhang Fu advanced three hundred taels at that time but refused to take it back anyway. At first, he sold several properties in Nanjing on the orders of the old lady, and others said that it was an auspicious charm and the vitality of the Zhang family was greatly damaged, but they didn't know that this was exactly what the family wanted others to see. Now that the capital is going to be moved, there is a third old man Zhang Zhuo at the end of Nanjing, and he should be able to take advantage of the situation to collect some more fields to come in, he originally planned to go to Beijing to add two more granges, who knows that this time he went to the British commons disease.

This is good, why did the British duke get sick?
