Chapter 166: Meng Lang
Li Meng's subordinates were also staring at him nervously, a bloody fight was about to start, but his own leader looked like this, and he really lost his morale.
The guards who were on guard in the courtyard watched Li Meng swagger out of the Meilou and walked directly towards the front door, several leaders were shocked, thinking what was this for, and they wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Li Meng waving his hand.
"But Lao Liu?"
"Young nephew, it's the villain?"
"Why did you suddenly come to Nanjing, I sent someone to Beijing to greet me, and they all said that I couldn't find a home there."
"The lord has been busy with the transfer of Nanjing guards, and after coming to Nanjing, he sent an urgent letter to Shandong, and the credible envoy came back and said that the young master you have come to Jiangnan, and the lord is worried all day long, so let the following pay attention. Besides, the Di newspaper in November and the Tang newspaper in the provinces all said ......"
Li Meng coughed a few times, thinking that it seemed that this letter and the newspaper happened to come after he went out, which was a coincidence, and he could only say that he was in too much of a hurry.
Several leaders also heard some doorways, and their faces were happy, after all, this kind of fighting, it was a situation of death and no life, although it was willing, it was good to survive, Li Meng greeted over there, and more than a dozen guards moved the stones and obstacles at the door, removed the gate, and opened the courtyard door.
Li Meng's guards are still vigilantly standing at the forefront, and if something goes wrong, they can still be prepared.
The courtyard door of the Meilou opened, and there were several Ming army officers and an old man wearing housekeeper clothes standing at the door, and the old man saw Li Meng standing behind the guard, and quickly knelt down on his knees, and said:
"Little Liu Qian has asked the young master nephew to say goodbye, the master is waiting for you in the house!"
Liu Qian looked younger than when he met in Jiaozhou, it seems that he is very blessed in Nanjing, and the officers who followed Liu Qian looked at the lowest style of armor. The rest are the titles of garrison and capital division. There was a faint arrogance on his face.
However, when these officers saw Liu Qian kneeling, their faces showed shocked looks, and they obviously didn't react for a while, only Huang Qianhu simply knelt down.
Everyone hesitated, they all knelt down and prepared to perform the Ming military salute, Li Meng was wearing a short robe, but he was dressed as a civilian, it was really strange to stand there and accept a group of officers' salute, Li Meng hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu Qian up. opened his mouth and said with a wry smile:
"If it weren't for Lao Liu, you came over in time, and my subordinates and I would have to explain here today."
Hearing Li Meng affectionately call Liu Qian "uncle", those officers were even more surprised, Liu Qian was helped up by Li Meng, and he was also full of face, and said with a smile there:
"How can you afford the support of your nephew and young master, or Huang Ping, this kid is vigilant, and he followed the slave to Jiaozhou to see you."
Li Meng turned his gaze, and Huang Ping hurriedly made another thousand and greeted him respectfully. Li Meng nodded, but he wondered in his heart that when Liu Qian went to Jiaozhou, he had never seen this person, and he didn't know what his origin was.
Liu Qian's face was full of joy, and he said in a loud voice:
"Since you have come to Nanjing, don't delay in this place for long. The old man wants to see the nephew and the young master! ”
"Wait a moment, I'll go and settle my men and come over."
"If you're not busy, if you all move to the mansion, our mansion is much bigger than the Jingshi!"
Looking at Liu Qian's explanation with a smile, the officers standing behind him didn't know the details of Li Meng, only Huang Ping was familiar with it.
Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are two generations of emperors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen here, after the Jingjing capital moved to today's Beijing, but Nanjing still has a complete set of central institutions, such as Nanjing Six Divisions. This side is actually the middle of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the south
The emperor is naturally in Beijing, so there is no prescribed person in Nanjing to lead a hundred officials, but there are three commonly known as the agreement, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, the Nanjing Garrison, and the Nanjing Town Guard.
Needless to say, if the military department is still the secretary of the military department in Beijing, it is necessary to enter the cabinet as a scholar, and the status in Nanjing City is also noble, and the Nanjing garrison is generally the largest honorable person. For many years, it was the Xu family of Wei Guogong who held this position in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.
Shangshu is an official who was promoted to this position, the garrison is almost hereditary of the Xu family, and the eunuch who guards the town is a close confidant of today's Zidi, and the Ming Dynasty has always been the power of the inner court. After the Zhengde period. Among the so-called troika of Nanjing, the eunuch guarding the town is the most powerful. He was in charge of the Imperial City of Nanjing, the Jiangnan Tax Supervisor, the Army, and the powerful officials of the clan in Nanjing.
And unlike the Jingshi Celebrant Supervisor, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the various yamen of Dongchang, there are cabinet scholars and emperors around there, and the high-ranking officials are contained, while Nanjing City is the town guard eunuch, Shangshu and the garrison are the three people, strictly speaking, the transfer of soldiers and horses in the legal procedure does not even need to go through the Beijing Division, and this side is that the sealing procedures are complete.
Combined with several aspects, the status of this eunuch is naturally extremely high, he has guards guarding the imperial city, and this group of troops is actually responsible for monitoring the noble officials in the city, and they are the most well-equipped, and they are all elite soldiers.
At that time, Liu Jin's housekeeper was even a high-ranking official of the second and third grades in the court, and today, the housekeeper of the eunuch Liu in Nanjing town is also serving carefully. Those officers were also quite domineering in the city of Nanjing, and the only ones who were afraid and fearful were the eunuchs and the people in his palace.
But today, these people are all watching Liu Qian treat Li Meng with the attitude of treating his master, this young man wearing a short robe and dressed as a civilian.
Everyone gasped in their hearts, wondering if they were going to do anything in the future, after the courtyard returned to normal, the Zheng family and the people in the Meilou were all released, then Wu's mother's eyesight was good, and when she saw the scene at the door, she really had the intention of hanging.
Watching Li Meng walk into the mansion of Meilou, Liu Qian turned his face when he turned around, and said angrily:
"It's really nonsense, can you move troops and horses in the city with a coordinated garrison, why don't you report it in time."
Everyone bowed their heads and didn't make a sound, anyway, they just had a little temper, so after Liu Qian finished speaking, he said in a cold voice:
"Arrange someone to send the boy of the Hou family of Weiyuan back to his house, this courtyard will be closed when it leaves, and wait for the town to guard the adult, a prostitute by the river, there is no royal law."
The officers all bowed down and agreed, and Li Meng had already checked all his subordinates when he entered the door, and then walked out, bringing a few people from the Zheng family with him.
In fact, when Li Meng walked into the building and beckoned Zheng Shark and a few people to come out together, Mother Wu, who began to think that she had a plan, knelt directly in front of Li Meng in a panic, kowtowed again and again, and said with a crying voice:
"Slave and maid should be damned, slave and maid should be damned, offended the lord and your tiger might, but Gu girl doesn't know the depths, the child's temper, you adults have a lot, don't be embarrassed......"
This is said at a very high level, first said that she did something wrong, and then brought Gu Hengbo out, although she also admitted her mistake, but the implication was to let Li Meng look at Gu Hengbo's face, Qin Huai's first female Gu Hengbo Even if she is a high-ranking official and wealthy family, this Mother Wu also believes in the charm of girls.
However, Li Meng's response was relatively simple, ignoring it and going directly to the Zheng family.
Li Meng left the courtyard with the Zheng family, and Zheng Shark knew that today's matter should be resolved satisfactorily, his old face was flushed, and he said with some embarrassment:
"Today's trouble was caused by the old man's side, but he was able to get out of it thanks to Master Li, I am really ashamed, I don't know how to thank you?"
Li Meng nodded, clenched his fists and said:
"When it's over here, you and I will talk about it, and I won't bother in the next few days."
Zheng Shark solemnly gave a big salute, and several Zheng family members behind him saluted solemnly, even if the two sides were saying goodbye, the soldiers and horses guarding the eunuchs over there had already rushed into the courtyard, untying the ropes of the Feng family soldiers who were tied up, and some people helped out the Feng Xiaohou who was not lightly beaten.
The little marquis, who was dizzy, was covered with blood, and a few teeth had fallen out, if it weren't for the support of the family members who were also injured a lot, I am afraid that he would not be able to stand up.
Seeing Li Meng standing among the officers and soldiers, he thought that Li Meng had been arrested by the officers and soldiers, and his already drowsy head suddenly became excited, shouting loudly, but unfortunately his mouth was a little breathy, and he howled indistinctly over there:
"This man must be a thief, a thousand swords and a thousand swords, and destroy his nine tribes."
Even the family members who supported him didn't expect that this little marquis would suddenly shout such a sentence, and it was too late to even gag his mouth, exterminate the nine clans, even if Liu Qian and Li Meng were called just now, wouldn't they even want to destroy the eunuchs guarding Nanjing Town, and the faces of the Feng family members who supported the little marquis turned pale.
The little marquis didn't know where the strength came from, and wanted to rush to the front to do it himself, but he was dragged by the family members around him, Liu Qian rode on the horse and looked at the little marquis Feng who was shouting over there, and snorted coldly and said:
"Wei Yuanhou's tutor does have some problems, you who are subordinates have to talk to your Hou Ye when you go back, the industry that the older generation fought desperately on the battlefield, don't let these juniors who are not successful waste it."
The little marquis also felt that something was wrong, so he shut his mouth there, and the soldiers and horses guarding the eunuchs had already completed all the things, and they were all in a team under the orders of the officers.
Li Meng didn't bother to pay attention to the noisy gentlemen over there, and when he saw that he was about to set off, he also let his subordinates move, and when he left, Li Meng just smiled and said to the little marquis:
"Meng Lang!!"
