Guo Zhiyi spent this day in panic and uneasiness, and there was no news of the missing Jinyi guard, but fortunately, the security army was not found to arrest people at the inn where they originally used as a pick-up point. Even so www.biquge.info they didn't dare to go back to the inn and found a more remote inn to settle in. Guo Zhiyi didn't dare to leave too many people here at the Tianyue Inn, he ordered the other people to find another inn to hide, leaving him alone to wait for Zhang Chu at the Tianyue Inn, he really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.

In the evening, Guo Zhiyi finally waited for Zhang Chu, and as soon as Zhang Chu entered the door, he complained: "It's really an official who can't help himself, I was tired of copying and writing this day." ”

"Brother Zhang, please come in, today we will take the wine and food back to the room of the inn to eat, chat and rest, what do you think?" Guo Zhiyi greeted warmly.

"Is this convenient?" Zhang Chu hesitated.

"No problem, I also live here alone, and no one else disturbs me."

"Well, I must not get drunk today." Zhang Chu said with a laugh.

The two ordered the wine and food, asked Xiao Er to send it to the room, and sat on the kang of the inn, and the two chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was more harmonious.

Through chatting with Zhang Chu, Guo Zhiyi learned more about the security army. According to Zhang Chu, the strength of the security army was not very strong, and it was only because of the special relationship with the local imperial court that it was able to survive, and the officials resold grain and other materials to the security army and made a fortune, and the security army also used most of the factory income to bribe the officials of the imperial court.

The backbone of the security army is actually Zhu Jishi, who has passed the examination, and Zhang Chu is only responsible for fighting with some of his elites.

Zhu Jishi's greatest wish is to be appeased by the court one day, and he will get an official position in the court. Therefore, the security army has always left room for doing things, and has never killed the rich such as landlords and businessmen, and the captured court officials have been left behind, these officials are just afraid of being held accountable by the court for losing the city and land, and did not dare to return to the court, but they still have their hearts set on the court, like the former Yanchang County Zhixian Mazi Prefecture is now in charge of the criminal name of the security army, and only uses the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty to try the case, and never participates in other affairs of the security army. Zhang Lin's uncle Zhang Hong was also left by Zhu Jishi's side to manage the daily affairs of the security army. The security army's yamen also recruited a lot of scholars, and they didn't want to be thieves for the rest of their lives.

"Since your heart is towards the court and you have connections with the government, why don't you let them appease you." Guo Zhi was determined to figure out this matter, and he could make a great contribution when he went back.

"Now in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places the biggest official is the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, this person is brutal and easy to kill, so happy, often kill the people to pretend to be military merits, many of the rebels who have accepted his appeasement have been deceived by him to kill, so as long as Hong Chengchou is still there, no one dares to surrender to the imperial court, you should also see the high wall fort we were forced to build in the border area, just to prevent Hong Chengchou's attack, otherwise we are like other rebels, casually take the team to the east of Shanxi to loot, The days will be much better than this. Looking at Zhang Chu's expression, he was very envious of the other rebels who robbed gold and silver.

"Are the other rebels powerful?" Guo Zhiyi took the opportunity to find out the situation of the other rebels.

"Of course, they go to the rich places in mobile warfare, open the prefectures and counties, and break through the landlord's forts, the silver and grain are not less, and there are as many soldiers and generals as there are many generals with food, and now the righteous army is nicknamed Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong led by 36 people, Wang Ziyong is the most powerful, there are hundreds of thousands of horses, and other roads also have tens of thousands to thousands of troops. These thirty-six people jointly elected Wang Ziyong as the leader of the alliance a few days ago, and Wang Ziyong had strongly invited us to participate, but unfortunately the two masters always wanted to appease and stop this matter, otherwise we would have followed them to make a fortune. Zhang Chu regretted that he had not been able to form an alliance with Wang Ziyong.

"They are so powerful, aren't they all defeated by Hong Chengchou and ran to Henan, but you are okay here?" Guo Zhiyi already knew the news of Hong Chengchou's recent victories before coming to Zhongyang.

"Are they defeated? What does the imperial court call us? Call us thieves, how can we live if we don't flow, Henan is much richer than Shanxi, you don't know what is going on here, the battle can be fought negotiably, Hong Chengchou won the victory, and Wang Ziyong went to Henan to grab grain, which is good for both sides. Only we can't find a way to surrender if we want to, you see where we stay, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the mountains are poor and the water is bad, what kind of good life can we have. After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it by himself.

"There is no way to surrender, so there are so many officials in the imperial court who don't have people you can trust?" Guo Zhiyi picked up the wine jug and poured a full wine for Zhang Chu and asked.

"Originally, the governor of the three sides, Yang He, appreciated my family marshal, appeased us, and gave us the official position of the marshal Zhang Chu garrison, our marshal was loyal to the country, and killed countless Tartars in the king of Qin, and finally returned to Yanchang, but Yang He was removed, under the persecution of Hong Chengchou, we had to rebel again, other officials have neither rights nor trustworthiness, our second leader Zhu Jishi said, the officials in the court and China are only for their own selfish interests and do not talk about morality, the emperor is deceived by them, most of the rebels are anti-corruption officials not anti-emperor, The officials below didn't dare to let the emperor know this, if we could contact the people around the emperor, as long as the emperor had something to say, we would definitely be willing to submit to the imperial court and contribute to the emperor. Zhang Chu shook his head helplessly and raised his glass to Guo Zhiyi.

Guo Zhiyi listened to Zhang Chu's words and muttered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and drank all the wine in the cup with Zhang Chu and said: "You want to sincerely submit to the imperial court, but I have some ways." ”

"Is this true?" Zhang Chu's eyes shone brightly.

"Of course, I am doing business in Beijing and also working for Jinyiwei, and I also have an identity as a hundred households of Jinyiwei. The top boss of our Jinyi Wei is the great eunuch Cao Huachun, and I can report your situation to Gonggong Cao, who often walks beside the emperor and will definitely be able to speak for you. After Guo Zhiyi finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Chu, seeing his reaction, and his right hand under the table secretly grabbed the short knife hidden in his waist.

After hearing this, Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, then his expression of joy flashed away, and then he said viciously: "Is this true?" This is no joke, if I report you out, I won't be able to go back if I lose my head. ”

"I am Guo Zhiyi, the personal guard of His Majesty the Emperor, Brother Zhang will not really report me, right?" Guo Zhiyi's expression calmed down and said unhurriedly.

"Of course I want to report you, and I have to report it directly to the second master." Zhang Chu said decisively. (To be continued.) )
