Chapter 367: Out of the horse
Zhang Ru, who was indeed resting, was woken up by a loud noise, there are advantages and disadvantages to high martial arts, the advantage is that he can be vigilant at any time, and the enemy may have discovered the existence of the other party before he came to him. The disadvantages are also obvious, sleeping in places that are not absolutely safe, he always does not sleep well.
After squinting for a while, he was woken up, and Zhang Ru's mood was not wonderful.
After listening carefully and hearing a woman's terrible cry outside, he shook his head helplessly and walked out of the door.
Now that he is no longer Hou Ye, it is harmless for his own people to call him Hou Ye in private, so that his civil officials will not choose such a reason to fall for him at this time.
But a stranger knelt at the door and shouted loudly, if the people heard it, maybe someone would say that Zhang Ru had done something bad that was unsightly.
When he went out, there were already many onlookers, and he shouted helplessly: "Don't cry, what's the matter." β
After the rough voice entered Pepe's eardrum, it was like a heavenly sound, and she raised her head and wiped the blood on her face: "Please save my father-in-law." β
Zhang Ru frowned and said, "Who are your father-in-law?" Where is he now, and why do you think I can save him? β
Three questions were asked in a row, and all three of them were key.
Pepe 1510 said: "My father-in-law's name is Lu Thirteen, he is a businessman, and he is now in Jinyi Weibei Town. The little woman knows that Hou Ye used to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the current commander is your old subordinate, and she also asks Hou Ye to raise his noble hand and let go of my father-in-law. β
This made Zhang Ru even more puzzled: "Your family is just a businessman, what is the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town arresting him?" β
This question made Pepe a little embarrassed.
But for the sake of Lu Thirteen, she can be regarded as letting go, and said honestly: "Back to the Hou Ye, my father-in-law was bewitched by Li Min, the secretary of the household department of the dynasty, and led the people from the rivers and lakes to besiege and kill thousands of households and thousands of households in Jinyi Weibei Town. Unsuccessfully, Jinyi Wei commanded Master Mu Bin to bring people to come and take down my father-in-law.
The concubine was a lonely and helpless woman, and there was no way to ask for help from Shangshufu, so she had no choice but to ask for help. β
Zhang Ru's face changed greatly: "Is there something wrong with Wang Zhou?" β
Pepe shook his head and said, "Lord Wang is fine, but he is seriously injured. My father-in-law was ordered to arrest Lord Wang, and it seems that the person behind Li Min's dog thief needs something in the hands of Master Hou. β
As soon as he heard that Wang Zhou was fine, Zhang Ru breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, as long as he didn't die, he wasn't afraid of anything else.
"You know that I used to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so do you know that Wang Zhou is my brother. Lu 13 led people to besiege Wang Zhou, and now he still wants me to come to the rescue, girl, your idea may not be a little too naΓ―ve. Zhang Ru said coldly.
Pepe kowtowed on the ground again: "Hou Ye Mingjian, Lu Thirteen was at fault for killing Lord Wang first, but he was also deceived by others. If Hou Ye is willing to come to the rescue, the little girl is willing to pay any price. β
Zhang Ru said lightly: "I don't have anything now, and you don't have anything worth thinking about." Besides, now Mu Bin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I am an idle person, and I don't even have a talent on my body, what can I do to go to Beizhen Fusi to save people. Girl, you have asked the wrong person, I advise you to hurry back and collect your family's assets and prepare to remarry! β
Generally speaking, the people who enter the Jinyi Weizhao Prison, unless there is a special order from the emperor, are basically unlikely or come out.
Pei Pei was anxious and said loudly: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the little woman has the list of Li Min and his party in her hand. β
Zhang Ru paused, turned his face and asked, "How could you have such a confidential thing?" β
Pepe explained: "Every year, Li Min asks my father-in-law to give money to certain people, and the people who give it to are different every year. Maybe only one this year, three next year. But each time, Li Min would hand over a letter and put it in the middle of a silver ticket.
The slave family is more honest, and he never asks these people what their origin is, but he only knows that he sends silver to these people every year.
The slave family had an extra mind, secretly opened the letter and read it, and recorded the list of people every time. β
"Oh, I can't tell, you're still a strange woman. Yes, since you've said so, I'll go with you. Let's talk about it first, whether Mu Bin will give me face, my former boss, I don't know. If I can't save you, you can't blame me. Moreover, whether people can be rescued or not, I want the list in your hand. If you can agree, I'll go with you, and if you don't agree, then I'll say nothing. Zhang Ru said seriously.
This list is likely to help him, so he is bound to get this list.
Let Mu Bin release him, he still has a certain degree of certainty, and the reason why he didn't talk too much was because he wanted to know if Wang Zhou was out of danger now.
The two came to Beizhen Fusi, Mu Bin was sulking in the room, and the medical officer had just bandaged Wang Zhou's wounds, and what was staggering was that there were as many as sixty-four scars on Wang Zhou's body. None of them were fatal, but they were enough to make people tremble.
Lu 13 is a businessman after all, even those officials with strong psychological quality can't survive the punishment of Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison, he is a businessman after a few beatings, and he honestly tells everything he knows.
Li Min coveted the wealth in Zhang Ru's hands, so he went to Zhang Ru's mansion to find him in person, but Zhang Ru ignored it, and he could only hit Wang Zhou with his idea.
I didn't expect Wang Zhou to be so fierce, he would rather die than say who the wealth was.
The people who killed people were all executioners in Longxi, each of them was a good man with one as ten, and the weapons in his hands were all obtained by Li Min through his own connections.
picked out such a thing from Lu Shisan's mouth, which made Mu Bin very dissatisfied. Even if he doesn't have a good relationship with Wang Zhou, he feels a little sorry for Wang Zhou.
Hearing that Zhang Ru was coming, Mu Bin didn't care about it, and personally went to the door to greet him, and when he saw Pepe, he was obviously stunned for a while.
He had seen this woman in Yuxiangfang, and at that time, Pepe was standing beside Lu Thirteen, and he couldn't understand how this woman could ask Zhang Ru to come forward as a lobbyist.
"How is Wang Zhou?" The first thing Zhang Ru asked about Wang Zhou's injury.
Mu Bin sighed and said, "There is no big problem, it's just that I'm too tired, and I may have to rest for a while to recover." β
"Can you let people go?" This is Zhang Ru's second sentence.
Mu Bin shook his head and refused: "Since Shang Jia has done such a thing, he is ready to die." It's not like you don't know what time it is. Wang Zhou was injured, the first one to move must be me, if I didn't move, then Mr. Wang would pick my skin next. β
There are only a few people in the court who make Mu Bin really jealous, and a few people in the cabinet are not mentioned for the time being, and among the six ministries, he is most afraid of Wang Shu Wang.
It is not without reason that this old man is far from the core, and he can still shine in Nanjing and be reused by the emperor.
"If the person is released, I will be useful." Zhang Ru spoke again.
Mu Bin still didn't agree: "Don't mention this, I can't let him go." β
Pepe had a desperate look in his eyes, glanced at Zhang Ru with a dim gaze, and begged, "Can I meet my father-in-law." β
Mu Bin said with a cold face: "You are not Lu Thirteen's relatives, even if his relatives come, they won't be able to see his people." What he did was not a trivial matter, it was a major matter of murdering an official of the imperial court. β
Zhang Ru sighed and said, "Lao Mou, let her see her!" β
Mu Bin looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about the gains and losses.
After a while, in Pepe's expectant gaze, he nodded with difficulty: "He has passed out now, you can see him, but you can't let him wake up." Not surprisingly, he didn't have a few days to live, girl, so do it yourself. β
Zhang Ru said: "Thank you." β
Under the leadership of a brocade guard, Pepe successfully met the inhuman-shaped Lu Thirteen, but it was a pity that she could see her lover, but the lover didn't know she was coming.
After staring at it for a while, Pepe was forcibly pulled out by the brocade guard.
"Master Hou, I'll take you to get something." Pepe said to Zhang Ru with blank eyes, and then walked outside step by step.
Zhang Ru suddenly pulled Mu Bin over and whispered: "Give me a face, people stay." β
With that, he hurried to follow Pepe's footsteps.
A captain of Jinyiwei on the side sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that such a beautiful girl." I would actually look at an ugly ghost like Lu Thirteen, if I can meet such a beautiful woman with affection and righteousness in my life, it will be worth dying. β
Mu Bin said angrily: "If you let the person in your family hear this, it is estimated that you will have to be picked up when you go back." β
The lieutenant said proudly: "She dares! When she enters my house, she is my family. Don't you know, my lord, my girl is at home, but she is very obedient. β
Mu Bin smiled: "Come on, you, hurry back!" It's not early, and I don't want you to kneel on the washboard in the middle of the night. β
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then cold sweat flowed down his back, he didn't expect that Mu Bin would be clear about what he was doing at home.
From this, it can be seen how strong Jinyiwei's control is. What Zhang Ru saw in the history books of his previous life about the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty was not groundless.
After marrying Pepe, he sent Pepe back to Lu Thirteen's house by the way, but he didn't expect to see chaos before he entered the door. These people didn't know where to get the news, and they grabbed the valuable items in their homes and began to slip away.
There was not even a door at the door, a few little maids squirming around with packages and running out quickly, chickens and dogs jumping in the yard, only an old servant on crutches and old tears silently watched all this happen.
"You can afford to wait, and hope is still there." When Zhang Ru left, he left behind such a sentence that made Pepe scratch his head.
