There is no prime minister in this Ming Dynasty, and there is only one prime minister's mansion in a broad sense, that is, the residence of Shoufu Wan'an.

What is the content of the secret letter that the captain of the brocade guard wants to send, and why does Wan An, who has always been wise and wise, be involved? Why didn't Wan An, who hated him to the core, make the slightest move, but Wan An, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, was involved?

Is it because Yan Fu was taken down?

If you think about it carefully, this condition is unlikely, Wan'an's protégés are all over the world, and the prefect of Datong doesn't need Wan'an to tear his face with himself.

So what's all going on here? What's behind this?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, and then he asked the black-clothed leader, "Say, what's going on?" ”

The black-clothed leader shook his head, and then said: "The villain was originally a hundred households in Jinyi, and he was investigated for his personal position because of his greed for military salaries, and later met Wan Ge Lao, and he said that he could give the little one a chance, but the little one had to listen to him."

The little one is already alone, and it is naturally good to have a chance to turn over, so the little one agreed to the elder without thinking about it.

After the official was reinstated, the villain basically did not contact the elder of the pavilion, because the elder said that the relationship between the elder and the prime minister should not be exposed unless it was absolutely necessary. ”

Zhang Ru interrupted him with a sneer: "It seems that now, you have reached the point of last resort. ”

The black-clothed leader didn't dare to refute, he looked at Zhang Ru carefully, and found that he was waiting for him to continue, so he let go of his courage and continued: "Half a month ago, the housekeeper of the old house of the pavilion suddenly contacted the villain, saying that the master asked the villain to do something, and the villain didn't know what to do, only that he intercepted a Jinyi guard captain who was going to Liaodong Town from the capital.

The villain's task is to arrest the captain, and if it really doesn't work, kill him on the spot.

The little one felt that this was a great opportunity to repay the elder of the pavilion, so he agreed without even thinking about it, and then chased after dozens of his own people.

However, it seems that there is another group of people following this captain along the way, but those people have no intention of being enemies with us, and they have never appeared. ”

Zhang Ru said in a deep voice: "You said that you feel that there is another force around you?" And those people didn't do anything to my people along the way? ”

The black-clothed leader said: "It may be that the movements of Xiao and his brothers are too big, those people have not appeared, but those people's abilities are definitely greater than ours, and our people are all inadvertently watching around when they get up at night." ”

"Do you know why Wan An wants you to intercept my people?" Zhang Ru asked.

The black-clothed leader said with a bitter face: "The villain doesn't know what happened to the elder of the pavilion for letting the villain intercept the captain, and surrounded that guy for half an hour, and that guy had already destroyed the secret letter." The purpose of his trip to Liaodong is probably only known to him. ”

Zhang Ru suddenly raised his hand: "Kill!" ”

The movements of his subordinates made the black-clothed leader's face pale, but Zhang Ru's embroidered spring knife was still on his neck, and the blade was close to the flesh on his neck, cold and piercing.

A group of black-clothed people wanted to flee when they saw that the situation was wrong, but in the snow, the speed of action was already slow, and the brocade guards brought by Zhang Ru were not far from them, and it was too late to escape.

"Poof!" The embroidered spring knife pierced through the back of a man in black who was running wildly, and peeked through the front body.

"Whoosh!" Swarthy arrows shot out of the crossbow and pierced the neck of another man in black.

One by one, the men in black fell to the ground and died, the hot blood staining the snow beneath them into bright red blood. After a while, more than a dozen men in black had been slaughtered, except for the leader who was held hostage by Zhang Ru, everyone else was killed.

Just in case, Zhang Ru's Jinyi guards habitually used their hands to test the snorts of those dead men in black, and after confirming that all of them were dead, Jiang Wei limped to Zhang Ru and replied: "My lord, kill them all, please show me." ”

Zhang Ru bowed slightly, pulled out the knife from the waist of the black-clothed leader, and then said: "Go back and tell Wan An, if you dare to go against me again, next time it will not be as simple as dying such a few people." ”

The black-clothed leader nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and he was really frightened by Zhang Ru's resolute methods.

More than a dozen heads and two horses, this is all the things that Zhang Ru gave him, the leader didn't even dare to go back, so he beat the horse's buttocks in the snow, hoping that the good Hetao war horse could speed up. For fear that Zhang Ru would suddenly regret it and take off his head like a melon.

"Just dig a pit and bury it all." Zhang Ru instructed Jiang Wei as he walked forward.

He is very eager to know what the captain of the brocade guard is here to do, and if he can work an old fox like Wan'an to make a move, the news brought by the captain must not be simple.

I was faintly worried about the prince of the capital, after all, when he came to Daming, he was the only one who had no reservations about himself.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a row of footprints on the snow, only then did he barely return to the cleared official road. Climb back onto the war horse, and with a wave of the whip, the war horse shoots out like an arrow.

In the General Soldier's Mansion, the best four or five Lang Zhong in Changning City have been 'invited' by the Jinyi Guard, and when Zhang Ru entered, an old Lang Zhong was checking the pulse of the Jinyi Guard, who was pale on the bed.

Zhang Ru was still very polite to the doctor, he stood quietly aside, and waited until the old man removed his hand, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, how is my brother?" ”

The old man didn't know whether his eyes were bad or arrogant, so he reprimanded: "The old man diagnoses the pulse, what are you talking about a little doll." ”

The surrounding Jinyi guards glared angrily at the old man, and some people even moved, wanting to beat him. Zhang Ru waved his hand without a trace, and those people suppressed the anger in their hearts.

"It's the kid Meng Lang, please don't be surprised, sir." Zhang Ru gave a scholarly salute to the old man, and said very respectfully.

Seeing that he was doing the Shizi ceremony, Lao Langzhong's face was slightly softened, and his words were still full of coldness, but he didn't have that-for-tat: "It's not a big deal, it's just a deficiency of qi and blood, one coin of angelica, one coin of white peony, one coin of Chuanxiong, one coin of rehmannia rehmannia, one coin of Liaodong's old ginseng, and one coin of atractylodes......"

The prescriptions are extremely ordinary, they are all things that nourish blood and qi, which are often used by some women in the capital. However, one of the medicines was changed to old ginseng by this old man.

instructed his subordinates to grab the medicine and suffer, Zhang Ru squatted down and stood by the captain's bedside, and pulled up the arrogant old man.

"Old gentleman, can you let my brother wake up temporarily, I have something very important to ask him." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ru asked.

Na Langzhong spewed out a hum word from his nostrils: "The old man is Langzhong, not a Mongolian doctor who cares about human life, and now the injuries on his body are extremely serious, and rashly letting him sober up will only make his body weaker." You big people can take care of people's lives, but old men can't do it. ”

These words made Zhang Ru feel a little ashamed, he felt that he was indeed a little anxious, but the matter hung in his heart, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry.

After weighing the severity, Zhang Ru still decided to wake up the captain: "It is a matter of life and death of tens of thousands of people, so I can't help but pay attention to it, and ask the old gentleman to take action to make him sober." ”

The old man stubbornly twisted his head: "Don't do it!" ”

Zhang Ru threatened: "You have to do this, and if you don't do it, you have to do it." I'm sure you know what we're up to, and since we called you over, your family is already under our control. ”

The old man's mouth pursed: "The old man is not from this Liaodong Mansion, so it is possible that he will be afraid of you." ”

The old man who didn't eat oil and salt made Zhang Ru feel very sad, and he had no choice but to ask someone to take the old man out, and then call another relatively young Lang Zhong in.

This Lang Zhong was sincerely frightened, and immediately pricked a needle in the body of the captain of the brocade guard as requested, and after waiting for a while, the captain really woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, after seeing Zhang Ru, Ma Shan opened his mouth and said, "My lord, you have a fine work by your side." ”

His gaze swept over Lang Zhong intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Ru understood, and said to Lang Zhong: "Please leave Mr. for a while, I have something to tell him." ”

Na Langzhong is also a good at observing words and feelings, how could he not know what Zhang Ru meant, and got up and left without saying a word.

As soon as Lang Zhong left, the lieutenant immediately grabbed Zhang Ru's hand and said eagerly: "Please return to Beijing quickly, someone wants to be unfavorable to the prince, Lord Mu and his brothers will not be able to stand it, if it is too late, I am afraid that the prince will be in danger." ”

Zhang Ru asked, "What's going on?" ”

"The Wei Xingna eunuchs united with Wantong, entered the East Palace with the cooperation of Xizuo, killed more than a dozen of our brothers, and controlled the crown prince. They said that they must not let the news spread, otherwise they will kill the prince, Lord Mu did not dare to move, and asked his subordinates to come and tell the lord immediately. The lieutenant began to gasp for air as he spoke.

After a long time, he relieved his breath, and before he could say that the adults should go, he fainted.

Zhang Ru's face became extremely cold, and he immediately ordered the people outside: "Let that old man come to save people, and the others prepare war horses and return to Beijing!" ”

Jiang Wei walked in and asked, "My lord, this."

Zhang Ru said solemnly: "Don't ask so much, let the brothers follow, you let the two of you go to Datong, notify the brothers there, and be ready at any time." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Wei still meticulously carried out his orders.

The group set off quickly, and many people didn't even know what was going on.

In fact, Zhang Ru himself didn't know what was going on in the capital, Wantong ate the ambition leopard gall? Isn't Wei Xing guarding the mausoleum?

I can't guess the result in my heart, and I can't know what happened until I return to the capital.

Thinking that something might happen to the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, Zhang Ru couldn't help but feel upset and irritable, and he ordered everyone to speed up along the way, and rushed to the capital desperately.
