Chapter 618: Eventful
Chapter 619: An Eventful Autumn (Part I)
Mo Yong's Lao Tzu is a man who stands up to the sky.
Before the northern expedition in the eighth year of Yongle, it was an unprecedented defeat that had fallen 300,000 soldiers and had never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. For a time, even if the leader was Yongle Tianzi, who had defended Mengyuan in Beiping for more than ten years, and personally led the troops into battle during the Jingjing, many of the soldiers who accompanied the army were still worried in their hearts. But his Lao Tzu was full of confidence before he set out on the expedition, and told his wife and children that he would definitely come back safely. As a result, the bold father was buried in the vast grassland, and his subordinates not only buried more than a dozen Mongolian Tartars, but also dragged a prince to accompany him when he died. Although Mo Yong, who is a son, still doesn't know who that prince is.
"!"
After touching a glass with a companion, Mo Yong raised his glass and drank it all, and immediately wiped his mouth happily, grabbed the fat chicken leg in front of him and gnawed it, but he was thinking about what Zhang Yue said that night. was taught such a hard lesson, and he naturally held back a great anger in his heart, but the merciless scolding of others was still rolling in his ears until now. It's not promising, and he can't even pass the level of the horse thief, so he will be sent to death...... He took others as an enemy, and was bent on angering Zhang Chao, but the result was good, people didn't bother to retaliate against him at all, they didn't even look at him when they left, and they didn't care who shot the arrow!
"Damn, why does he look down on us!"
This sudden binge drinking startled everyone else, and for a while, whether they were eating wine or vegetables, they all put down their chopsticks in their hands, and some people were uneasily stroking the traces left by a terrible nightmare that day, almost all of them were blue. After a while, a thin officer shouted: "He can help Zhang Chao once, but he can't help the second time, why don't we call more people and clean up that kid fiercely, so as to relieve this sullenness?" ”
"Stupid, let's provoke, our biggest thing here is a commanding affair, and if something big happens, even our Lao Tzu or Uncle may not be able to help end it, besides, isn't the face lost last time enough?" It was a young man with a rough face who spoke, he slapped the table, Huo Di stood up, "People fight for a breath, I don't want people to look at me like that in the future!" Lao Tzu was also forced to practice martial arts by his uncle since he was a child, but he slacked off later, but Lao Tzu didn't believe that he couldn't get ahead in this life, and he had to be so mixed all the time! Today is the last fool around, and after I go back, Lao Tzu will apply...... Turn it up! ”
With that, he scooped up the wine glass on the table and slammed it viciously on the ground. With that thud, he arched his hand to the rest of the seat, and walked out the door without looking back. Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and even the tavern shopkeeper, who was accustomed to the style of these young masters and officers, was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.
"What a nameless fire this damn guy is doing! Go to Kaiping to die, why? Lao Tzu's eldest brother is three years older than me, and he is already a comfortable commander of the Jingwei at this time, but I am still a hundred households, bah, the Marquis of Taining was imprisoned and died, and my eldest cousin is about to attack the lord, and his life is even happier...... If they were to be blessed, would they not be blessed, even more than I am? Brother Mo, although it was indeed miserable that day, we still have to thank you, if you hadn't told us about it, we would still be kept in the dark! We're unlucky enough, why should we be counted even if we have the only way to live? ”
As soon as this person said this, there was a commotion in the store. However, Mo Yong still only cared about bowing his head and drinking, and did not say a word at all. Several young officers who had noble relatives in their families complained for a while, and finally when they saw that it was really boring, they scattered in twos and threes, leaving their own money. I don't know how long I sat down, but Mo Yong, who had poured countless yellow soup, stood up and settled all the remaining accounts, and then staggered out the door.
At this time, the sun was already in the west, dyeing the sky a fiery red, although the light was much softer than the day, but it was still a little dazzling, Mo Yong stared at the red sun that was about to disappear for a long time, and finally couldn't support it, so he looked away. When he went out on the expedition, he was also a world official, but it was a hundred households that had not been granted, and after he died in battle, the military department recorded meritorious deeds, and there was not much pension left to the family, but he was awarded the command for that great merit.
This is the most memorable thing left to him by Lao Tzu, and it must not be taken away!
When he opened his mouth to roar, he couldn't scream, and finally he could only bow his head and move forward. He stumbled out of the street, and he walked around for a while, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and finally sat on the ground with weak soles. With his back against the cold wall, he took a few big breaths, his eyes fixed on the sky that was gradually losing its brilliance, and his already somewhat numb brain thought of Zhang Yue again.
That guy's surname is Zhang, and there are two nobles among his relatives in the family...... It's just that I am afraid that any of these titles will not be lost. Is it because of this resentment that he has to get along with them? It's impossible, that kid is a civil official, and his merits are one on the left and one on the right, but he is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven. However, in the past few days, he has quietly asked people to go to Beijing to inquire, and the previous news does not seem to be false, but since this is the case, why do people deny it...... Damn, he was born with a dislike of using his brain, why do you want him to think about this!
"Little Brother Mo, Little Brother Mo?"
Hearing this voice in his ears, Mo Yong opened his eyes angrily. It's just that the wine is already deep at the moment, and he can only make an appointment to see that the gray-clothed man in front of him has drunk together one day, and the news is also revealed by this guy. Remembering that he came back with indignation that day to find Zhang Chao, and then suffered a lot, and then made the matter bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and asked in an unkind tone: "You...... What are you here for? Still...... Don't you think I'm not hurting enough? ”
"Little Brother Mo, what are these words, how can I harm you?" The man was busy supporting Mo Yong, and seeing that he really couldn't drag the person up, he gave up this useless move in a daze, and said with a forced smile, "I just heard that you suffered a loss under the hands of people that day." That Zhang Yue has raised a few very effective guards, you eat a trench and grow wise, don't mess with him in the future. People are favored ministers, so the future is just right, if you touch it hard, it will be an egg hitting a stone......"
"Phew, he's an egg, I'm a rock!" Mo Yong, who was already drunk, interrupted the other party's words, and stammered, "He...... He said that he would transfer everyone to Warat together and tie the ...... As a result, everyone was frightened. Can...... But I finally wanted to ...... To paraphrase him, he sarcastically said no...... Don't take us to death...... Phew, voila...... Look down on us ......"
Listening to Mo Yong's words became more and more intermittent, and more and more inaudible, the man still patiently set the words, and waited until the person fell asleep with his head crooked, he stood up, slapped his face gently, and gently probed his right hand behind his back. However, as soon as he touched the cold thing, he withdrew his hand.
Killing this guy cuts off the way for others to explore, which is easy, but the result may attract more pursuits, so that there is no silver three hundred taels here. After all, even if this is a blame, it would be too clumsy. And if according to a certain meaning revealed above, Jin Yiwei also has something to do with the Zhang family, it will be even more dangerous.
Thinking of this, he quietly took two steps back and quietly flashed out of the alley. When he confirmed that no one was paying attention to him on the street outside, he revealed Shi Shiran's appearance and swaggered to the other side. The man had barely gone when a vendor set up a stall on the side of the road stood up and looked in that direction, and then hurried after him with a large basket. It's just that when he was about to approach, he quickened his pace and overtook him, walked straight into the small restaurant on the side, nodded and spoke to the shopkeeper inside. So, the man in gray, who was already vigilant, didn't pay any attention to this, and just continued to move forward, not noticing that another guy with a food box came out of the shop.
In the evening, Zhang Yue, who returned home from the Yamen, got the whereabouts of the gray-clothed man from Hu Qi. He was naturally not surprised by the efficiency of Jin Yiwei, but he didn't expect that the person just went straight home and didn't contact anyone at all. Thinking of when Zhao Qian saw him today, he hinted that Li Qing had single-mindedly promoted the matter of Wara, and asked him to be careful in the future, he couldn't help but feel extremely irritable.
Now it's an eventful time, everything is complicated, these bosses still have the heart to fight for power and profit, can't they save their worries?
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Although it was just a simple sentence, Hu Qizi knew that this was the meaning of letting go, and hurriedly agreed. Only he had another important matter today, so he immediately lowered his voice and said, "I have already investigated the matter of Zhan Shifu that the young master confessed before. That soap li didn't hide the ink treasure for money at all, but was instructed by someone. If I hadn't used some means, I'm afraid I would have to be fooled by him, this kid dared to claim that it was Jinyiwei's eyeliner, it was simply bold. As a result, he was completely paralyzed after only one punishment, but unfortunately he did not know who the Lord was! ”
"He even claimed to be Jinyiwei?" Zhang Yue was taken aback, and immediately realized in his heart, "You still have to investigate this matter." However, since the other party even dares to frame Jinyiwei, I am afraid that he has other intentions, so please be more careful with Lord Yuan. ”
After explaining these things, Hu Qi left the self-reflection fast, and Zhang Yue sat down, listed the things that had happened in recent times on a piece of paper, and then fell into contemplation. However, before he could come up with a reason, there was a banging knock on the door outside, followed by Lianhu's loud voice.
"Young master, young grandma has just come back from Du Mansion, she said that there is something important, let you hurry back to the room to discuss!"
