Chapter 43 A gentleman can be deceived in a way

Jin Yiwei suddenly attacked and raised his knife to force Huang Shu.

Seeing the sudden movement of the knife, the civil and military officials present were at a loss, and looked at it blankly, and those who stood close for fear of harming the pond fish retreated one after another.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates have been in battle for a long time, and they reacted the fastest, and the generals showed their blades one after another, first protecting Zuo Mengeng, and then surrounding the group of brocade guards, and the swords on both sides were tense, and they were about to explode.

Zuo Mengeng opened his official uniform, revealing the soft armor he was wearing inside, and a soft sword was wrapped around his waist.

"What the hell is going on?"

"The old man doesn't know ...... this"

Seeing that Zuo Mengeng was hiding a sharp blade, and the generals under his command were even more imposing, He Tengjiao couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and his face turned white. In the midst of the panic, several Huguang military attachΓ©s rushed up to protect him, and the one at the front was wearing a five-grade military attache uniform, with no blade in his hand, and he blocked Zuo Mengeng with his bare hands.

Wang Kefan pointed at the group of Jinyi guards and shouted loudly: "Jinyi guards just want to catch Huang Shu, but it's just a misunderstanding, in front of He Zhitai, please put away the blade of the little marquis!" ”

Zuo Mengeng reacted in a blink of an eye, turned around and grabbed Eunuch Du's neck, the soft sword against his throat, his face was hideous, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

"Du, you are so bold, you dare to make trouble in Wuchang Mansion!"

"Don't do my business, the little marquis spares his life, the little marquis spares his life!"

Pointed at by the shining soft sword, Eunuch Du was already bluffed, and he regretted it in his heart. Everyone said that Wuchang Mansion was the tiger's den in Longtan, and he didn't dare to come to pass the decree, only he asked for this errand in order to make some extra money.

"If you hurt Qincha, I'm afraid that Ning Nanhou's face won't look good." Wang Kefan stepped forward and persuaded: "Little Marquis, don't worry, in this Wuchang Mansion, are you still afraid that Jinyiwei will turn the sky upside down?" ”

"Well, that's right!" Zuo Mengeng nodded, put away the soft sword, and shouted to Eunuch Du: "Dugong Du, hurry up and let Master Huang go, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go ......" Du's father-in-law ran forward in a trembling manner, shouting at the top of his voice: "Quan Xi, Quan Qianhu, Quan Ancestor, what are you going to do?" Let Master Huang go! ”

The eunuch's voice was already sharp, and he was crying again at this moment, although in the noisy crowd, everyone could hear it clearly. The soldiers who were surrounding moved to both sides, and the brocade guards in the middle flashed out, they were all holding embroidered spring knives, and they were confronting the soldiers of Wuchang Mansion, and the person at the head was also holding a yellow holy decree.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Quan Xi!

"There is also a holy secret decree here, the matter is confidential, and I didn't tell Du's father-in-law before, so I offended." Quan Xi unfolded the holy decree and read it: "He He, the governor of Huguang, and the Marquis of Ningnan: The former Huguang Inspector is Huang Shu, who is actually a traitorous villain, and he is a ...... of disrupting the society."

This holy decree is an edict to He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu, asking them to cooperate with Jinyi Wei Qianhu Quan Xi to arrest the Qin criminal Huang Shu, and the decree also gives Quan Xi a lot of power, let him "do it cheaply", and be sure to arrest Huang Shu and escort him back to Nanjing to be strictly handled.

"Huang is not guilty! General Zuo save me! Huang Shu was cut by two brocade guards, looking embarrassed, and when he saw Quan Xi take out the holy decree, he was also scared in his heart, and hurriedly shouted for help.

There was a slight loosening of the surrounding soldiers, although they were private soldiers who were only loyal to the warlord, but in the face of the imperial authority accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, they were also a little hesitant, and they all looked at Zuo Mengeng together, waiting for him to choose and take it.

Zuo Mengeng is a straw bag boy, hesitating and unable to make up his mind.

These dozen brocade guards are not difficult to deal with, if they are in the wilderness, they can directly kill people and kill them, and they can be dismembered with just one order. But in front of everyone, the other party still has the emperor's will in his hands, and openly doing it is not much different from rebellion.

Let Jinyiwei take Huang Shu away, don't even think about it, no one in the world knows that the Donglin Party and Zuo Liangyu are one faction, the eunuch Ma Shiying and the four towns of Jiangnan are one faction, and the two sides are fighting to the death, and they can't give a single step. The civil and military officials in the court are all some wall grasses who see the wind and rudder, He Tengjiao and others are also watching at the scene, if they think that Zuo Liangyu is afraid, the Donglin Party will not be able to fight Ma Shiying, and it will inevitably fall to the side of the "eunuch party".

What's more, Huang Shu and Zuo Liangyu have a deep personal relationship, he fell out with the first assistant Ma Shiying this time, just to give Zuo Liangyu a head, after escaping back to Wuchang Mansion, he has been hiding in the Zuo family army to seek refuge, if he is taken away by Jinyiwei under his nose, it is no less than a loud slap in the face......

Jin Shenghuan saw that the momentum was wrong, glanced at Xu Yong, and jumped out.

", this must be an overkill! Huang Daochang is a loyal minister, how could the emperor take him? Don't fall for Ma Shiying's tricks! ”

"Yes, Duke Du, as an angel of the court and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, how could he not know the emperor's intentions? This brocade guard must be Ma Shiying's minions, usurping the edict and framing Zhongliang! Xu Yong waved his hand: "Come on, capture this gang of thieves for me, and don't let any of them go!" ”

They are all born in leading soldiers to fight, they have always been ruthless, and they like to solve problems by force.

The soldiers raised their swords and guns and forced them forward, but the number of Jinyi guards was too small and they retreated again and again. Huang Shu saw that he was saved, and struggled to get out, but Quan Xi suddenly stepped forward and raised the embroidered spring knife against his neck.

"If you can't escort the Qin prisoner back to Beijing, the only way to do it is to splash blood in five steps, and you will be killed on the spot!" He shouted again: "He Junmen, as the governor of the five provinces, do you also have to resist the decree and disrespect? ”

I didn't expect him to be so brave, and everyone was stunned.

Xu Yong suddenly smiled and said kindly: "I didn't expect Quan Qianhu to be a bloody man. Don't worry, everyone is on an errand, what can't be discussed......"

Taking advantage of his words, Jin Shenghuan took two steps back and quietly called a good archer, ready to shoot Quan Xi to death with a cold arrow and snatch Huang Shu back.

However, He Tengjiao stopped him.

"Does Jin Shuai really think it's an edict?" He Tengjiao lowered his voice and said: "The matter is so big, the pressure can't be suppressed, this person must not be killed, otherwise it will be bad for your family Ning Nanhou!" ”

Although He Tengjiao originated from Shi Kefa's appreciation, he was not a genuine Donglin Party, on the contrary, he also secretly contacted Ma Shiying, and used the struggle between the Donglin Party and the "Eunuch Party" to carry out political speculation, so as to be good at dancing with long sleeves and rising to the top.

If Zuo Liangyu really turned against the imperial court, he, the governor of Huguang, would lose his value, so he had to come forward to resolve this matter.

"Little Marquis and Jin Shuai, rest assured, I will definitely bring out the zodiac chief completely." He Tengjiao separated everyone and came to Quan Xi: "Quan Qianhu, let Benxian be your hostage, is it okay to let go of the Zodiac Chief?" ”

"Don't dare to be humble, Huang Shu is a prisoner of the imperial court, and He Junmen is the governor of the five provinces, how can they be compared."

"Benxian admires the character of Quan Qianhu very much, how about taking a step to speak?"

Quan Xi looked around, ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Huang Shu, and followed He Tengjiao to walk away two steps. The two of them bowed their heads and whispered for a while, Quan Xi hesitated for a while, and finally inserted the embroidered spring knife back into the scabbard, brought Huang Shu over, and handed it to He Tengjiao.

The surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward, first took He Huang and the others, and then raised their knives and guns at Jinyiwei, but He Tengjiao spoke in time and ordered the soldiers to get out of the way and let Jinyiwei leave.

The onlookers were scolded, Jinyiwei seemed to have become a traitor who framed Zhongliang's minions, Du's father-in-law hesitated again and again, and did not dare to follow them all the way, Quan Xi and others left silently.

Zuo Mengeng gave a thumbs up and asked with a smile: "He Zhengtai, what did you say to that stunned boy?" In a few words, he is soft, he really has a hand! ”

He Tengjiao hesitated for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "I promised Quan Qianhu that I would hand over the Zodiac Chief to him in three days and escort him back to Beijing." ”

"Huh? How can that work! Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I understand, He Zhengtai lied to him, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, and they are really smart!" ”

"The gentleman deceived him, and the old man had no choice but to do it. Three days later, he came to ask for someone, but Benxian had no shame and could only disappear behind closed doors. ”

"Hey, a brocade-clothed guard is just a thousand households, what kind of gentleman is it! I'll clean him up tonight, and I won't disturb the cleanliness of the table. ”

"Killing this person will damage the reputation of Ling Zun and the old man, by all means!" He Tengjiao shouted: "It's just a dead-eyed Qianhu, what do you have to do with him?" As long as he is in Huguang, no one is allowed to touch a finger of him! ”

Zuo Mengeng's eyes rolled and asked, "Listen to what he means, is it out of Huguang, just follow me?" ”

"I didn't say that."

He Tengjiao turned his face away, and said to Eunuch Du: "I am out of interest today, so the ceremony will be over." Father-in-law Du was invited to rest in the Yin Hotel, and the old man set up wine at night to suppress the shock of his father-in-law. ”

After saying this, he beckoned to Niu Zhongxiao and Wang Kefan, all of whom were the military attaches who rushed up to protect him just now, led them into the governor's yamen, and threw the other guests out of the gate.

"This old man, I was almost scared to pee my pants just now, and this will be the governor's shelf again!"

Zuo Mengeng was very dissatisfied, and he was not inferior on the spot, Xu Yong and others hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's no wonder, even if the Hou Ye owes him a favor today, of course he has to put on a stinky shelf."

"Mo Li, let's go drink too, ask a few Qingqi people to comb it once, and give the zodiac chief a surprise ......"
