Yu Guozhen rode on the horse and looked at Zhang Pu, who was lost in his soul: "Mr. Ximing asked me to take people out of the city early to come here, what is it for?" ”

It was already early in the morning, Zhang Pu didn't sleep well at all last night, and he didn't have the intention to talk to Yu Guozhen about his plans.

When they arrived, there were already some errand soldiers around Zhuangzi, and as soon as Zhang Pu asked, he knew that this Zhuangzi had been robbed last night and dozens of people had been killed. Not only that, when the government cleaned up the embers of the ruins of Zhuangzi, it found some gun heads with the word "Yu" on the gun heads.

If it weren't for the fact that he dragged Yu Guozhen to stay overnight last night, Zhang Pu would really suspect that the things in this Zhuangzi were done by Yu Guozhen.

But soon the new discoveries of the servants shocked him, there were still objects of smelling incense in the Zhuangzi, and not one, but many!

In addition, there are armor, blades, and even bird guns, and there are more than 100 pieces!

This is a big case, this Zhuangzi is the secret cave of the Wenxiang Sect, which can basically be determined, and the Wenxiang Sect is hiding armor soldiers so close to Nanjing City, and the evil intentions it contains are enough to alarm the Son of Heaven who is far away in Yanjing!

After learning about this incident, Zhang Pu was already trembling, but Yu Guozhen ordered someone to mix him with the horse, so he followed Yu Guozhen back to the city.

On the way, Yu Guozhen asked him again and again what happened, but Zhang Pu never spoke.

His heart was completely confused, he definitely didn't expect that the place where he had gathered all the forces to secretly plot turned out to be the secret cave of the Smelling Fragrance Sect!

What made him even more sad was that the 12,000 taels of gold he had only raised after making countless promises and spending a lot of effort had also been robbed with the destruction of this secret cave of the Smelling Fragrance Sect!

Without this gold, what will he use to buy off the inside and outside of the palace, and bring down Wen Tiren and push Zhou Yanru!

Zhou Yanru can't take the throne, so what will he do to fulfill his promises to all forces!

And after thoroughly investigating the Smelling Fragrance Sect, will he also find out about his haunting of this Zhuangzi a few days ago?

At this time, he was not in the mood to discuss with Yu Guozhen what the two books and one newspaper should be handled by the Fushe, what he thought about was how to protect himself.

In a panic, he entered the city, and at this time, the only person who could give him advice was Qian Qianyi, who knew this well!

Thinking of this, he even forgot to say goodbye, and ran directly to Qian Qianyi's apartment.

Looking at his back, Yu Guozhen shook his head, with a faint sarcasm in his eyes: Make wedding clothes for others, what is the pain!

Of course, he was qualified to laugh at him like this, and after returning to the apartment, Gao Erzhu quietly appeared in front of him and made a gesture to him.

"I was pestered by Zhang Pu all night last night, and I haven't asked you how much you have gained." Yu Guozhen smiled: "How, is it a bumper harvest?" ”

"Twelve thousand taels...... Gold. Gao Erzhu also deliberately sold a pass, and then laughed: "Jiuhe is going to be depressed when he knows it, his record last time was flattened by Wu Ya this time!" ”

The atmosphere of competition between the young guards and the surname Liang was very obvious, and even in terms of the seized booty. In the last battle of Tongcheng, Luo Jiuhe seized 120,000 taels of silver, and this time Ye Wuya took the 100 young guards who were originally left in Xiang'an to attack at night and seized 12,000 taels of gold, which can be regarded as equaling Luo Jiuhe's record.

This figure also surprised Yu Guozhen, he originally thought that it would be at most fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, because in his memory, Zhang Pu originally planned sixty thousand taels of silver to help Zhou Yanru recover. Due to his arrival, Zhang Pu's time to plan this matter was not only advanced, but the money raised was also doubled!

Yu Guozhen is now very sympathetic to Zhang Pu, although Zhang Pu also has a small family business, but where can he find out the 120,000 taels of silver!

But sympathy is sympathy, and that is Zhang Pu's trouble now, not his. After staying in Nanjing City for another three days, and saying goodbye to Fang Youzhi, Sun Lin, Chen Zilong, Wang Chuanyu and others one by one, Yu Guozhen left the ancient city by boat.

There were nearly a hundred people who left with him, all of whom were craftsmen recruited at the time. At this time, the Quartet was not quiet, and only the south was slightly more peaceful, so craftsmen from all over the place, such as the Lei family, gathered in Nanjing, but it was difficult to find a livelihood, so they had to sell themselves and take refuge.

Among them, the most are potters, Yu Guozhen knows very well that when he arrives in Qinzhou, the first thing he will do is to build a kiln for himself, there are not enough brick kilns and cement kilns, and it is impossible for him to spread out infrastructure in Qinzhou.

These people signed a deed of sale, although they don't know where Yu Guozhen will take them, but none of them are worried about this - in this year, in order to make a living, there are people who have left their homeland and crossed the ocean, not to mention the rest!

On the 10th day of the fourth month, they arrived in Shanghai County, where they transferred to sea ships and headed south along the shore.

At the same time that Yu Guozhen arrived in Shanghai County, in Yanjing City, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two reports, and for a while, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

One report is from Jinyiwei, and the other is Ying Tianfu, both of which are about Qin Huai Bayan's commentary.

"Before, I said that he was just messing around, but I didn't expect that kid to really make trouble...... Qin Huai Bayan's comment? When the country is in turmoil, he is engaged in such a farce of singing and dancing! ”

Chongzhen's mood is quite good, the "kid" in his mouth naturally refers to Yu Guozhen, although strictly speaking, due to such and such resistance in the imperial court, Yu Guozhen has not yet had any official position, but in Chongzhen's heart, this is already one of his favorite generals.

Just a few days ago, Yu Guozhen "donated" to the inner library of the method of seed beads, has been the first year's income into the warehouse, the amount is not much, 15,000 taels of silver, but this is the first year, according to the assessment of some insiders, to three years later, when the river beads are really listed in large quantities, there is always a share of 50,000 to 80,000 taels per year.

This is the net income, and for Chongzhen, it is the money at his disposal, which can bypass the household.

"The slave maid thinks that this kid is a little rampant, and he has to beat and beat." Cao Huachun said seriously: "The emperor is worried about state affairs all night, but this kid lingers in the land of fat powder......"

"No need, if he's not lustful, I'll feel like I can't sleep." Chongzhen smiled, and then he consciously lost his words and straightened his face: "Cao Huachun, what is going on with the matter of smelling incense and teaching Zhuangzi, if you can't control the factory guard, tell me earlier, I might as well change to a responsible one!" ”

Cao Huachun secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is guilty, Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Seeing that this old man didn't defend himself, but just pleaded guilty, Chongzhen glanced at him, but he was very satisfied in his heart. He is stubborn, and he never forgets to knock on the people around him, for fear of being underestimated by hundreds of officials, and an attitude like Cao Huachun is correct in his opinion.

"The incense thief is cunning, and I don't blame you, but ...... This matter is very important, you said that Zhuangzi, was it Yu Guozhen who sent people to destroy, he and the incense thief can be said to be incompatible. ”

Cao Huachun peeked at Chongzhen's face, and then said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't dare to guess, but that kid is a bold one...... If he knew that Zhuangzi was a lair of incense thieves, he would definitely kill him directly without reporting to the official. ”

"Oh, why didn't you report to the official?"

"First, the government will deal with the incense thief, and it will have its own law, and the trial and judgment will be delayed for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and secondly, what are the ...... The incense thief gathers by witchcraft, and there is some money in his lair. ”

Chongzhen looked at him strangely, didn't speak for a long time, Cao Huachun knelt on the ground in a cold sweat, and after a while, Chongzhen said: "You old thing, that kid also let Fan Xian give you a lot of benefits, but you don't help him speak, doesn't this mean that he is good at killing and greedy for money?" ”

"Emperor Shengming, the slave and maid are greedy for money, and they have received some benefits from Yu Guozhen, but how can the slave and maid talk nonsense in front of the emperor with a conscience because of this benefit!" When the opportunity to show loyalty came, Cao Huachun naturally refused to let go: "The slave is the eyes and ears of the eagle dog of the emperor, and the emperor is the heaven of the slave and the maid...... The slave does not dare to hide the slightest! ”

"Old man, I don't know your mind yet, a little scolding and a big help!" Chongzhen was happy when he heard this, but he still didn't forget to knock him: "That's it, that's it, where in this world to find that kind of perfect character, Yu Guozhen, this kid, is good at killing greedy for money and loving women, it's not a big problem, he has made great contributions repeatedly, but the court can't give him a reward, and what he grabbed is a reward for him." ”

"The slave maid must let Fan Xian beat him and let him know that the imperial court ...... The emperor's kindness to him, he wants him to work hard and not to live up to the emperor's expectations! ”

Seeing that the emperor was already a little tired, but he overturned the twists and turns on the case, Cao Huachun cautiously saluted and exited the imperial study. Wiping a sweat outside the door, this time it was finally fooled, but ...... That idiot Zhang Pu is too careless in doing things!

However, not long after he came out, he blushed again, took a copy of the secret music of the brocade guard, and ran back quickly.

"There is Wu Sangui, a general in the Guanning Army in Liaodong, the son of Wu Xiang, the general soldier, who was ambushed by the political department of Shandong!"

Although Fang Cai Chongzhen's mood was extremely good, Cao Huachun was sure that when he saw the news, his mood must be very bad!

At the same time, Wen Tiren also got the news of Xiao Zhuangzi outside Nanjing through his channels.

He got more news, for no other reason, the names "Qian Qianyi" and "Zhang Pu" were really thorns in his side!

"It seems that this Qian Muzhai is really uneasy in the forest...... And this crazy Zhang Pu actually changed his own words, what is it called, Tianru is like the sky, don't you think you are like God? ”

Putting down this secret letter, Wen Tiren's eyes were full of cold light, Zhang Pu seemed to him to be just a little who didn't know how to jump up and down, and even Zhou Yanru, who Zhang Pu relied on, was already a pheasant in the water in his opinion. Only Qian Qianyi, his reputation is too high, the threat is too great, and this person is old and cunning, if he is given a chance, it will be the biggest threat to Wen Tiren!

"Since you Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu are mixed together and give me such a good opportunity, then don't blame me for being rude." Wen Tiren sneered, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote a letter.

He knew that with this letter, a bloody storm was about to be set off, and if it could be done, he might be able to completely drive out the Donglin Party who were against him everywhere. At that time, he can really be regarded as a monopoly on power, and there will be no opponents in the entire temple!
