Chapter Forty-Three: It's Not Over But It's Just Beginning
Under the snow, which was getting heavier and heavier, almost enveloping the heavens and the earth, a horse-drawn carriage drove quickly down a rugged country road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and on the left and right, there are more than a dozen knights, just look at them can still fly freely here in the wind and snow, you can know how good these people's riding skills are.
When the carriage finally stopped, the men were in front of a small village. This is an ordinary village that is very common no matter how you look at it, but if you are interested in climbing up and looking here, you will find that some dark shadows are hidden in some hidden places in the village, and these black shadows still have cold flashes in their hands.
Tang Feng jumped out of the car first, followed by Yang Zhen, who obviously had some doubts on his face. Now that everything he was asked to do has been done, why do they still want to bring themselves to such a hidden place, what are their intentions? But since they were all brought by them, Yang Zhen didn't think about it anymore, he had to take one step at a time.
Tang Feng walked into the village first, and when a man dressed as a farmer flashed out, he only made a gesture, and the person hid again. This seemingly peaceful small village is full of vigilance.
A group of more than a dozen people walked around the village path for a while with a little snow that had already accumulated, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard that looked much wider than the other courtyards. Tang Feng instructed Deng Ting and the others, "You guys wait here, Yang Zhen and I go in." After that, he entered first.
Yang Zhen had been full of curiosity all the way, and when he saw this, he followed in. I saw Tang Feng standing still in the courtyard, and saluted to a room in front of him with a heavy curtain: "Tang Feng of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei led Yang Zhen to come to meet the adults. ”
After a while, a gentle voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
When he walked into the house, he felt a wave of heat coming to his face, which made Yang Zhen feel a little uncomfortable all over his body, and it was too hot here. Even though it's winter, it's not going to make the house so hot, it's almost early summer, how many braziers are there?
"Ahem...... I have sinned you, but my old bones really can't stand the invasion of such a cold winter. In order to save his life, the only way to save his life was to make the house hotter. The gentle voice sounded again, as if it saw Yang Zhen's thoughts. The person who spoke was leaning on a long chaise longue, a shriveled old man in his sixties.
"I've seen adults." Tang Feng saluted again.
Yang Zhen saw that he was so respectful to this old man, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so he also arched his hand.
"You must be very strange about the identity of the old man, and why do you want to see you, right? The old man Zhai Qu is a thousand households in Jinyi Weihu. Don Jr. is my subordinate, and everything he does is ordered by me. When the shriveled old man revealed his identity, there was a glint in his somewhat cloudy and weak eyes.
Only then did Yang Zhen know that this was the person who was really in charge, who would have thought that such an old man who seemed to be about to enter the ground was actually a senior official of Jinyiwei, and he also single-handedly instigated this big shock in Huguang officialdom.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, everything can be traced. Every time he came into contact with Tang Feng, he would make a decision after a while. It turned out that he only had to think about it clearly, but now it seems that he is clearly going to ask his boss for help.
Seeing Yang Zhen's face as before, Zhai Qu laughed: "Sure enough, there are some city mansions, and the old man didn't see the wrong person." As he spoke, he pointed to a bench beside him, "Sit down." It's not that the yamen doesn't pay so much attention here, but the things are also a little simpler. ”
Yang Zhen was also not polite, so he sat down with a golden knife, but Tang Feng looked very restrained in front of this old man, and still stood sideways to the side. He hadn't spoken anything since he entered the room except to greet him.
Seeing his move, Zhai Qu smiled even more on his face, and just wanted to say something, but a cough hit him, and it took a while to stop, but his face was already red. Seeing this, Tang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help him get his breath, and handed a teapot on the coffee table in front of the recliner to the old man.
After a few sips of tea, the old man was able to speak: "Old man...... Now that I think about it, I didn't have the courage to do that when I was your age. ”
"Yang Zhen is just doing what the adults want. The elders dare not resign! Yang Zhen responded.
"Good, good, good!" Zhai Qu's eyes flashed out again: "Don't say these meaningless words." The old man called you here today, just for one thing, to make your lies come true. ”
"Huh?" Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant: "You always want me to join the Jinyi Guard?" ”
Zhai Qu nodded: "Do you know, just because of your words in the Punishment Division, the commander and the people in Dongchang have heard your name." If they find out at this time that you are not one of our Jinyi Guard, this consequence is not something we can afford. ”
Yang Zhen touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. I didn't expect that my temporary expedient measures would make such a big move, and even the leaders of Jinyiwei and Dongchang knew about themselves.
"How? Would you like to join me? But the old man wants to remind you that today's Jinyiwei is not as beautiful as you imagined. ”
"Is it all like this, can I still say no?" Yang Zhen said secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I have always been worried that there is no chance to get ahead, since the adults look up to me so much, of course I dare not refuse." ”
"Then you have to see the old man's face clearly, don't let people ask about the flaws at that time." Zhai Qu said and struggled to stand up, so that Yang Zhen could see his entire appearance.
Seeing this, Tang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Yang Zhen also stood up and carefully looked at the old man in front of him. This is an old man who is about six feet tall and skinny. The melon seed face, the eyebrows are about to fall off, and the face is like a dried orange peel, which makes people see at a glance that this is a seriously ill person.
"Have you read carefully?" Seeing Yang Zhen nodding, the old man lay back on the chair, and with just one movement, his breathing had become very short.
"Alright, then you can go." After Zhai Qu was breathing steadily, he waved at Yang Zhen. This really surprised the latter, why did he call himself just to meet, and didn't even mention anything else?
Seeing that his face was different, Zhai Qu said again: "This time the matter is basically over, since Hu Lin and below, a large number of Huguang officials can hardly escape the crime, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
"Huh?" Yang Zhen was slightly surprised, but since the other party said so, he didn't raise any more doubts, just gave up his hand, and went out again. He could see that Zhai Qu and Tang Feng still had something to say, and it was inconvenient for him to continue to stay in the room.
Seeing him leave, Tang Feng looked at the old man worriedly: "My lord, why do you still have to talk so much to this kid now, and still stand up strongly......
"Hehe, life and death are fate, the old man has already seen it. What is so terrible about dying, but living like this is the real hard work. Zhai Qu patted Tang Feng's hand and said, "I did this just in case." Wang Kui is coming, he is not a person from you and me all the way, he will definitely grasp any flaws, if he is asked to find a breakthrough from Yang Zhen, everything we have paid over the years will be in vain. Even if it is the life of you and your brothers, I am afraid of it......
"I'm old, but I'm not afraid of anything. But you are different, and you still have a great future ahead of you. You still have to fight for the resurgence of my Jinyiwei. Our Jinyiwei has also been pressed by the East Factory for too long, and if it continues like this, we will forget the original majesty, and we will become the slaves of the East Factory just like Liu Shouyou! Speaking of this, the old man coughed again because of excitement, and Tang Feng hurriedly patted him on the back again, and his eyes were a little red.
"Xiao Tang, when I was your age, I saw the scenery when our Jinyi Wei steadily suppressed the East Factory. At that time, under the command of Governor Lu, we were really majestic, and those eunuchs in Dongchang had to kowtow and salute when they saw us. The old man recalled the past, and his eyes flashed again.
"Now that our Jinyi Guard has fallen into such a field, I really can't accept it. Therefore, even though I knew that there would be many dangers and difficulties, I did not hesitate to pull you in. Now that I'm about to give up, I can only do my best. ”
"My lord......" Tang Feng knelt in front of Zhai Qu, and his always calm face showed a look of sadness.
"Alright, don't mention these frustrating words. Let's talk about this Yang Zhen. Originally, I just wanted to leave no flaws, but after meeting this person today, I feel that he is indeed extraordinary, and in the future or one of your arms, this person is extremely outstanding in terms of courage and ability. ”
"Yes, the subordinates remembered!"
Zhai Qu was silent for a while and then said, "We won this time, but the loser won't just forget it." So you will have a hard time in the future, so you have to be prepared. ”
"This subordinate has been mentally prepared for a long time. No matter how difficult Wang Kui tries to make things difficult for us, I will focus on the overall situation. ”
"That's not it, Zhang Jiangling is a person with a face, and he won't attack immediately. However, it is necessary to guard against future accidents. You must know that what we are facing is not an ordinary opponent, and this Huguang case is just the beginning......" After explaining this, the old man felt very tired, slowly closed his eyes and said: "I'm tired, you can go." ”
Tang Feng helped him cover him with a thick blanket, and then he left the room lightly. When he came out, his expression had become as resolute as ever.
He knew that it was no longer possible for Lord Qianhu to shield himself from the wind and rain, and everything would be taken care of by himself. Next, they will be attacked from both the officialdom and the Dongchang, and as the leader of so many brothers, he must meet the more difficult battles with the fullest enthusiasm and attitude.
Yes, the case is going to be closed, but the battle has just begun!
