Chapter 693: The Great Handle (I)
"My lord, this is it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" In front of a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, Zhang Qian and one of his subordinates stopped and looked, and the latter also nodded at the small courtyard: "Yesterday, my subordinates wanted to go in and have a look, but they were stopped, even if I took out the waist card of the hundred households, the other party did not have the slightest intention of accommodating." ”
After Zhang Qian heard this, his expression was quite excited: "It seems that this place is indeed a little weird." You said there were only two people yesterday, but now there are no less than seven or eight people guarding there, and they are afraid that someone will break in! ”
"What are we going to do, my lord?"
"Let's go over and try it first, I'll see for myself how tight they are about this yard." As he spoke, Zhang Qian had already walked out of the shadows, and without the slightest hesitation, he went straight to the small courtyard.
And their appearance really made the looks of the brocade guards guarding inside and outside the small courtyard stunned, and a few of them subconsciously put their hands on the sabers on their waists, and then took two steps forward to block their way: "What are you doing?" Don't you know that no one is allowed to approach this place? ”
In the face of the other party's questioning, Zhang Qian didn't see any fear at all, but glared back, and at the same time showed his waist card and said: "I am the new Zhang Qian of the hundred households, what is going on?" Can't even our own brothers come and have a look? ”
"It turned out to be Zhang Baihu, but it was disrespectful. However, this is a forbidden place set by Yang Yanshi, and no one is allowed to approach anyone except those who have his warrant. It's the rule, and I hope you can understand it. Although this man said it politely, the vigilance between his expression and movements was obvious.
Zhang Qian did not flinch because of the other party's tough attitude, but frowned and reprimanded: "Bold, do you know that I was ordered by the governor of the royal capital to check around in this Zhenfu Division. Even if it is the edict prison, no one dares to stop you if you want to go, you dare to oppress people with Yang Yan's affairs? ”
His words were full of spirit and weight. If there were people with higher official ranks in the general yamen, this kind of person would have flinched a long time ago, but the guards in front of them were not moved at all, and just said coldly: "We just follow Yang Yanshi's orders to do things, and we don't dare to make any discounts." If Wang Dudu really wants to come here, just go and discuss with Yang Yan, and ask the hundred households not to embarrass us. ”
Faced with such a direct refusal from the other party, Zhang Qian's face changed a little in anger, and he took another step forward: "Then what if I have to go in and have a look?" ”
The other party blocked the angle of his advance without giving up half a step, and put one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist: "That little one can only be offended." As he said this, the expressions of the guards behind him also became solemn, and they all subconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife, with a posture of not hesitating to fight at any time.
"Good! You have done a good job, and when I go to the king's capital, I will have your good fruit to eat! Zhang Qian was obviously angered by their words and deeds, but he also knew that there was no certainty about the forcible break, so after leaving a cruel word, Tie Qing turned his head and left.
It wasn't until they saw them leave that several guards breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were still heavy, but they didn't know if they would encounter more trouble next.
However, they didn't notice that after quickly leaving the small courtyard, the anger on Zhang Qian's face quickly subsided, and instead showed a rather playful smile: "It seems that what we want has fallen into this small courtyard, but I don't know what unsightly things are hidden here!" ”
In the period of time after entering Jinyiwei, Zhang Qian and the dozen or so people did not start to investigate Jinyiwei's problems and handles from all aspects, and also thought about winning over some unwilling people and hearing more useful clues from the mouths of those people.
It's just that in the past few days, the gains in this area have been minimal. Except for knowing that the inside of the Jinyi Guard is indeed as ironclad as it looks, there is nothing to handle even in the Imperial Prison.
Although Zhang Qian had planned to get the list of Jinyiwei's secret agents in the name of Wang Wei, so as to give them a certain blow, this idea could not be realized, and he was politely refused.
Zhang Qian has always regarded himself very highly, and he is Zhang Juzheng's nephew, but now he has hit walls everywhere in Jinyiwei, and he is naturally even more unwilling in his heart. He even planned to use Wang Wei's mouth to take the initiative to provoke Yang Zhen, thus triggering a battle within the Jinyi Guard. But just when he learned that there was such a strange courtyard, he immediately changed his somewhat aggressive countermeasures and started the idea of this small courtyard instead.
Originally, he only felt that this was a small breakthrough, but now after such a temptation, he was overjoyed, the importance of this small courtyard was even more important than he imagined, maybe after finding out what was hidden in it, he would be able to put Yang Zhen and them as a Jedi.
"My lord, what should we do next?" The subordinates next to him saw at a glance that he was interested in the small courtyard, so he hurriedly asked.
"Breaking in is obviously not possible. But yesterday and today, they will be on their guard and even cover it up in order to prevent accidents, and we must find out what is going on here as soon as possible. In front of these people, Zhang Qian likes to express himself the most, so he takes the trouble to express his thoughts.
"Then it's even harder."
"It's hard to show my means better, let's go, let's go back to see Wang Wei first, and this time we have to do things in his name." Zhang Qian waved his hand very confidently.
When they came to Wang Wei's office, they found that there was a strange man with a solemn expression standing there very respectfully at this time. Just looking at what he is wearing, it can be inferred that his status in Jinyi Wei is quite low, but between his eyebrows, there is a trace of loneliness and helplessness, as well as a little resentful unwillingness.
However, this person looked very respectful in front of Wang Wei, and when he spoke, he even bowed to Wang Wei, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who Zhang Qian didn't look down upon.
Puzzled, Zhang Qian walked in, regardless of the fact that the two were still talking at the moment, so he immediately asked, "Wang Dudu, who is this adult?" ”
"Oh, it's Zhang Qian, you're back, just right, I want to introduce you two to each other." Although he was interrupted from speaking, Wang Wei did not see the slightest dissatisfaction, but took the initiative to greet him very politely: "This is Hong Kuixing Hong Qianhu, he is an old man in Jinyiwei, and he has been here for more than ten years; Hong Qianhu, this Zhang Qian's identity is not ordinary, he is Zhang Gelao's son and nephew......" When he said the last few sentences, he also deliberately lowered his voice.
Zhang Qian's brows couldn't help frowning, how could this Wang Wei tell his identity at will? If this person was sent by Yang Zhen to test him, then there would be a lot of trouble. So he immediately glared at Wang Wei fiercely, and almost reprimanded him on the spot.
And Wang Wei also quickly thought of this, his expression shrank, but he quickly explained: "Zhang Baihu, don't worry, Hong Qianhu will never help Yang Zhen and them to become our enemy." ”
"Oh? Really? Zhang Qian glanced at Hong Kuixing with some suspicion, although he didn't say it explicitly, his expression had already revealed his thoughts.
His expression also made Hong Kuixing's expression stiffen, Wang Wei saw it, he smiled embarrassedly, and started a round: "Zhang Baihu, you don't know something, he Hong Qianhu has always made outstanding contributions in Jinyiwei, and he has also won the respect of his brothers below, but as a result, as soon as Yang Zhen was in power, he only focused on his henchmen, but he abandoned an old man like him. So if there is anyone in the Jinyi Guard who hopes that we can replace Yang Zhen the most, it must be this Hong Qianhu. Saying that, he smiled and said to Hong Kuixing: "Hong Qianhu, you don't have to be surprised, Zhang Baihu is not disrespectful to you, it is really that we are in the Zhenfu Division, and we are surrounded by Yang Zhen's people, so it is better to be careful about some things." ”
Hearing him say this, Hong Kuixing's face looked a little better, and he arched his hand at Zhang Qian: "It turned out to be Zhang Baihu, but it made me disrespectful." You can rest assured, I, Hong, have always acted uprightly, and I will never do some villain acts. ”
Zhang Qian's expression eased a lot, but he didn't apologize when he was arrogant, he just nodded at the other party: "Hong Qianhu can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is still very admirable." I can also assure you on behalf of my uncle that as long as you sincerely do things for us, there will definitely be a place for you in the brocade clothes afterwards. ”
"Then I'm here to thank Zhang Baihu for his support." Hong Kuixing smiled faintly.
"By the way, what are you talking about? Hong Qianhu, do you have any news worth mentioning about the inside of Jinyiwei? Since this person could be used, Zhang Qian hit him with the idea.
Wang Wei hurriedly smiled: "We are talking about how to worry about Zhang Gelao." It's a pity that since Yang Zhen took the throne, Hong Qianhu has been completely squeezed out, so he can't find any big problems for a while. ”
When Zhang Qian heard him say this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he seemed to be very disdainful: "Well, that's no way......
As if provoked by his words, Hong Kuixing said with some eagerness: "Although it is impossible for me to participate in many of Yang Zhen's decisions, it cannot be said that I can't control anything." At least I've been on an errand in Jinyiwei for many years, and I still know a lot about it. ”
"Yes......" Originally, Zhang Qian didn't take this too seriously. But suddenly, a thought popped up in his heart: "By the way, then do you know what kind of famous hall is in that small courtyard located in the northeast corner of the Zhenfu Division?" "If this person can really solve this question of his own, it will be a great help. Thinking of this, his spirit was lifted, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
