Beizhen Fusi, this is a yamen that makes people frightened when they hear it, many people pass by this yamen and walk around, the common people dare not approach at all, countless souls seem to linger in the sky above the yamen, which makes people frightened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the highest authority of the Jinyi Guard, the Beizhen Fusi has always been a yamen that civil officials are eager to dismantle.

In the afternoon of this day, a carriage drove to the entrance of the Fusi in Beizhen, and the captain of the Jinyi guard who guarded him rode on a horse, straddling the horse and stabbing one by one, with a fierce and vicious look, and his eyes looked left and right with murderous aura.

As the carriage slowly stopped, the leader of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu turned over and dismounted, and quickly ran to the front of the carriage.

Moved off the dismount from the back of the carriage, went straight to the carriage, put the dismount pedal, gently lifted the curtain, and said to the people in the car: "Lord Xu, Beizhenfu has arrived, and our Tiandu Governor is waiting for you inside." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Zhenglong, a thousand households in Jinyi, and at this time he had a flattering smile on his face, and the smile that was squeezed out was a little ugly.

People were surprised to see this scene, in this era when Jinyiwei was rampant, who is qualified to make Jinyiwei's people so respectful? Could it be a eunuch from the palace? But there is no fan from the East Factory to accompany him!

The curtain was lifted, and an old man in coarse cloth stepped out of it.

Although the old man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, it was difficult to hide his temperament, his beard was meticulously combed, half black and half white sprinkled on his chest, and his eyes were shining between opening and closing.

"Lord Xu, it's time for us to go in, Tian Dudu is still waiting inside!" Zhou Zhenglong hurriedly said.

Glancing at Zhou Zhonglong, Xu Guangqi smiled: "I didn't expect that I would also be invited into the Fusi of Beizhen one day, I originally thought that I would be arrested in, look at this deep mansion compound, how many people who died in vain are shouting here, did you hear it?" ”

Zhou Zhenglong could only smile wryly, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to refute, he couldn't afford to offend!

You must know that Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Wei, has given a strict order, and he must be polite, if anyone offends this uncle, he will go directly to the Fusi prison in Jinyi Weinan Town to wait.

Jinyiwei is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also ruthless to his own people, and Nanzhen Fusi is dedicated to rectifying Jinyiwei's insiders.

Xu Guangqi flicked his sleeves, walked inside, and as soon as he entered the second door, he saw a man in a python robe greeted him, only to see him come to Xu Guangqi's side with a smile, and said loudly: "Lord Xu is coming to Beizhen Fusi, Beizhen Fusi is shining!" ”

The person who came was none other than the Governor of the Five Armies, the Governor of the Zuo Prefecture, the young master of the prince and the prince and the prince, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, Tian Ergeng.

Looking at Tian Ergeng, who had a big beard and a rough body, Xu Guangqi said expressionlessly: "Tian Dudu, the emperor summoned me to the palace to face the saint, I don't know what Tian Dudu's plan is to take me here?" ”

Tian Ergeng almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, he is worthy of being an old oilman in officialdom, a model among civil officials, and the ability to buckle a big hat alone is not something that ordinary people have. Privately intercepted the ministers summoned by the emperor, and Tian Ergeng couldn't cut off a few heads.

Looking at Xu Guangqi's gaze, he suddenly had a bit of resentment, did Lao Tian offend you Xu Guangqi, as for that?

Although Xu Guangqi does not form a party, the literati advocate the style and bones, and Xu Guangqi has also been affected by the style and bones advocated by the Donglin Party people all day long, or the slogan of the Donglin Party is closer to the hearts of readers. Coupled with the propaganda that has been all the time, the literati have no good impression of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

"Lord Xu is serious, the emperor ordered the governor to look for Lord Xu, the governor naturally does not dare to slack off, of course, you have to see Lord Xu with your own eyes to rest assured." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please: "Please Lord Xu into the back hall, I have prepared a little thin wine to wash the dust for Lord Xu." ”

"There's no need to catch the wind and wash the dust, Tian Dudu has already seen me, can you let me enter the palace now?" Xu Guangqi looked at Tian Ergeng and said.

For Tian Ergeng, Xu Guangqi himself didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, if it wasn't for the summons of the new monarch's holy decree, he wouldn't even bother to step into the capital. Party strife in the imperial court is everywhere, and the corpses of officials are vegetarian, so it is better to do more practical things for the people.

It is imperative to promote sweet potatoes, and the good things that can make the world free of hunger are not as important as their own two acres of sweet potato fields as officials in the court.

"Lord Xu, the emperor has sent a father-in-law to greet Lord Xu, and now he is in the back hall, and the governor thinks that Lord Xu is still good to see." Tian Ergeng's face was also a little ugly, although he knew that he couldn't get involved with Xu Guangqi, but such an attitude was too faceless.

Xu Guangqi stepped towards the day after tomorrow, and he didn't care at all about Tian Ergeng who threw up his sleeves and left, at this time Xu Guangqi already had a bit of a saint mentality, not happy with things, not sad with himself.

Walking into the back hall, a young justice-in-law sat on a chair, playing with the teacup in his hand with an expressionless face.

This newly promoted father-in-law was suddenly promoted by Emperor Chongzhen, and he didn't even know Tian Ergeng very well. just knows that he is a new celebrity in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and no one knows how he made his fortune.

However, Tian Ergeng didn't dare to underestimate this father-in-law Fang, because this was a master.

Although the hands are thin and thin, the joints are thick and the skin of the hands is dark, Tian Ergeng, who has practiced martial arts, of course knows that this is the effect of practicing the power of eagle claws. It can be seen from those hands that this father-in-law Fang's skills are very deep and he is an absolute master.

Emperor Chongzhen promoted Fang Zhenghua, of course, because of later generations, this death was even more tragic than Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang, Fang Zhenghua was a peasant rebel army with eunuchs to attack and kill the palace, one person, a knife, killed dozens of people, and the combat power was fierce, and finally the outnumbered people were chaotic and divided into corpses, chopped into mashed meat.

There is a very clear record in the history books: and the city fell, dozens of people were killed, and the thief asked: "If who?" He said: "My director Fang Gongye!" "The thief gathers up the sword and kills him, and he dies from the dead.

The other party values Zhenghua, naturally more than this, and his ability to train his subordinates is also first-class.

When the city was broken, everyone else was in chaos, each running away, only Fang Zhenghua's subordinate eunuchs were willing to kill with him, and finally died in the army, the first person in charge of Dongchang in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen was none other than the father-in-law of Da Ming Fang.

"Father-in-law Fang, Lord Xu is here!" Tian Ergeng entered the back hall, the other party Zhenghua said, and then he also sat down.

Xu Guangqi walked into the room, and when he saw the two people sitting, he didn't care, and said directly: "This father-in-law, since the emperor asked you to pick me up, let's leave!" ”

"Xu Guangqi, our Jinyi Guard is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the emperor's sword, don't go too far." Tian Ergeng got up angrily and said loudly.

Looking at Tian Ergeng, Xu Guangqi smiled slightly: "The way of the Son of Heaven? I only know that the Son of Heaven holds the sword of benevolence and righteousness, the sword of killing, and I don't need it! ”

Tian Ergeng was choked back by Xu Guangqi's words, turned his head to look at Fang Zhenghua, and said with a gloomy face: "Father-in-law Fang, the errand assigned by the emperor, our Jinyiwei has always done our best, people, we found it, and now we will hand it over to you." ”

"Tian Dudu, then our family will go back!" Fang Zhenghua put the tea bowl on the table, stood up and walked out.

Seeing Xu Guangqi and his party leaving, Tian Ergeng's face slowly returned to normal, and he sat down on the chair and sighed a little weakly.

"My lord, is it too dangerous to act like this?" A person turned out of the background, came to Tian Ergeng's side, looked at the white shadows of Xu Guangqi and others, and said with a little helplessness: "It's really eventful!" ”

Glancing at the visitor, Tian Ergeng said with a wry smile: "Boxian, you have also seen it, what else do I have to retreat?" ”

Tian Boxian, who looks like he is thirty-six or seventeen years old, Tian Ergeng's own family, is also the person Tian Ergeng trusts the most. On weekdays, he gives advice to Tian Ergeng, and he is also a very talented person. Tian Ergeng once hoped that Tian Boxian would be an official, but Tian Boxian refused.

"I'm different from Xu Xianchun, he's a relative of the emperor, his father is the captain of the horse, and he's the nephew of Empress Xiaozong, what about me?" Tian Ergeng said this and sighed deeply.

"Our Tian family has a Danshu iron coupon!" Tian Boxian looked at Tian Ergeng and said with a serious face: "Even if you really can't do anything, it's still possible to save a life, but I'm afraid that the Tian family will decline at this point." ”

Glancing at Tian Boxian, Tian Ergeng patted his thigh and said: "My grandfather is the secretary of the military department, and he has meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty, and he was given the Danshu iron coupon. I thought that following Wei Zhongxian would be able to shine on the lintel, but who would have thought of the current situation? ”

"Danshu Iron Coupon? Heinous, you don't know, it's not a matter of the emperor's words? ”

"This time, I hope Grandpa Fang can help speak!" Tian Boxian sighed.

Tian Ergeng looked uncertain, originally thought that it would be Wang Chengen, who would have thought that it would be Fang Zhenghua, who was not familiar with it at all. What he said to Xu Guangqi just now was naturally said to Fang Zhenghua, hoping that he could reach the ears of Emperor Chongzhen.

Xu Guangqi naturally heard it, otherwise he wouldn't have said that, but whether Fang Zhenghua, who didn't have the slightest expression, heard it, Tian Ergeng didn't have any bottom in his heart.

"Let the people in the palace keep an eye on it and see if they can hear a little news, and is there any news from Grandpa Wei?" Tian Ergeng instructed Tian Boxian beside him: "It's all rice buckets, aren't all the people in the palace Gonggong Wei?" Why can't even a little news come out at this time? ”

"After inquiring, the manpower guarding Father-in-law Wei was personally arranged by Wang Chengen, and he originally believed in the old man of the palace." Tian Boxian said a little frustratedly: "There is no way, by the way, Lord Shi sent someone here again, hoping to meet with the adult." ”

Tian Ergeng slapped the table angrily: "Didn't he look down on me, and now he thinks of me?"
