Chapter 44: Salute before Soldiers

Tang Ming was very angry, and the consequences were serious, if he couldn't save his eldest brother when he went to the mansion this time, he wouldn't mind making a big fuss. He clearly remembered what Yao Guangxiao said when he left, and now is the time to test it.

Holding the token left to him by Yao Guangxiao tightly in his hand, Tang Ming was in front, Lingyi and Yan Yanghua were behind him, and finally three of Zheng He's six cronies. None of the six people said a word, all of them bowed their heads and hurried, before leaving, Tang Ming made it clear that if anyone didn't want to go to Jinyiwei, then they would stay.

As a result, none of them were misgiving, and all of them wanted to follow, considering that someone had to stay to take care of Chen Jialan, so only three were allowed to come.

When I arrived at the palace, it was already the third watch, the surrounding houses were pitch black, but the door of the government was open, and four brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives at their waists, stood quietly at the door. Expressionless, they were like the four door gods, blocking the door of the mansion.

Before Tang Ming and the others approached the mansion, the four brocade guards had already noticed them, a cold light flashed, and the tall brocade guards in front of them had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife, and pointed at Tang Ming with the tip of the knife that was permeating the cold light, and shouted coldly: "Stop!" Who is coming, dare to break into the government at night. ”

The flames jumping in the brazier were imprinted on Tang Ming's gloomy face, and the atmosphere instantly fell to the freezing point. If it was usual, Tang Ming would have greeted him with a smile, but tonight he came to find fault, and he would not be like usual again.

The token that Tang Ming was holding tightly in his hand threw an arc and fell in front of the tall brocade guard who was questioning. Stretched out his hand and grabbed it, holding it firmly in his hand, the tall brocade guard took a look at it, and after being stunned for a moment, he actually put the knife back into the sheath and hugged his fist and saluted: "I don't know what happened to the lord here late at night, the lower official will go to report to the commander now." ”

"There's no need to bother, where the commander is now, the front is leading." Tang Ming was very surprised by Jin Yiwei's reaction when he saw the token.

I didn't expect the token that Yao Guangxiao gave him to be so powerful, and even Jin Yiwei, who had never taken anyone seriously, changed his attitude and became polite after seeing the token. For a while, he was curious about Yao Guangxiao, this old bald donkey usually looked ordinary, and often had the face of a monk.

It seems that there are really two brushes, and my understanding of him only stays on the surface of the title of 'black-clothed prime minister'. Now that I think about it, I was accepted by him as a disciple, and I co-authored it as a treasure. With the performance of the brocade guard in front of him, Tang Ming's confidence in rescuing the eldest brother tonight immediately soared to a certain level.

The tall brocade guard glanced at Tang Ming, and the few people behind him, looking a little hesitant as if they had something to say, but in the end they didn't say anything. turned around and whispered a few words to his companions beside him, and then led Tang Ming and the others towards the mansion.

In the palace, when Tang Ming was about to get dizzy, the tall brocade guard finally stopped. When Tang Ming looked up, he saw a stone room in front of him, with two words hanging at the door, cell.

The tall brocade-clothed guard was about to go in first to tell the commander, but Tang Ming stopped him, raised his legs and walked into the gate. After entering the entrance, there is a narrow alley about one meter wide, and there is a bend after walking twenty meters. As soon as Tang Ming turned around, he heard a rhythmic whipping sound in his ears.

Following the sound, I saw that in the torture chamber in front of me, two brocade-clothed guards were whipping in turn, and a person was tied to a wooden stake in a large shape. Accompanied by the rhythm of the whip, a muffled snort continued to be heard.

Behind the stake was a Taishi chair, on which the commander Ji Gang sat firmly, surrounded by two shirtless men, looking at the appearance of a big man, it was not difficult to imagine that he must have been beating the prisoner just now.

Ji Gang's sitting posture happened to be facing the door, so when Tang Ming had just rounded the bend, he had already noticed. It's just that he pretended not to see it, Tang Ming was able to go straight into the cell without going through the instructions of his subordinates outside, obviously his own subordinates brought him in, so that Jin Yiwei could do such an unruly thing, only his immediate boss His Majesty could do it. He wanted to see why Tang Ming had such great prestige?

The man who had been whipped on the stake seemed to have fainted, and no matter how much the whip was whipped, he made no sound. Ji Gang frowned slightly, his expression was very dissatisfied, and one of his subordinates stepped forward to probe the person on the stake, and said to Ji Gang: "My lord, the prisoner has fainted to death, do you wake up and continue the execution?" ”

Ji Gang squinted at Tang Ming, who had already come to the door of the torture room, waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Drag it down and lock it up, and wait until tomorrow to continue." ”

"Yes!" Two brocade guards stepped forward to untie the prisoner from the stake, and each took a hand, like a dead dog, and dragged the prisoner to the outside of the cell. A long trail of blood was pulled out of the ground, and the prisoner's clothes were already strips of cloth, and his exposed skin was covered with whip marks, and in many places he was beaten to the point of flesh and blood.

When Tang Ming was avoiding them, he quickly glanced at the prisoner and saw that it was a strange man, so he breathed a sigh of relief. walked a few steps in front of Ji Gang, and said proudly: "Command so that Lord Ji Gang is not harmed!" This should be the second time we've met! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, I said who came to this inauspicious place in the middle of the night, it turned out to be Brother Tang Ming! I don't know what happened here late at night? Ji Gang said politely, but his face was not smiling, and he still sat firmly on the Taishi chair, without any intention of greeting each other.

I didn't expect Ji Gang to give himself a good look, so Tang Ming didn't care at all, and said coldly: "My little brother just went to Nanjing yesterday to run errands, but when I returned home tonight, I didn't see any trace of my brother's family. ”

Ji Gang looked awake, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that Brother Tang is doing this for this, in fact, the eldest brother and I are just doing business, and his brother was arrested by my subordinates because he was involved in the matter of the Yan Governor's Mansion." Brother Tang can rest assured, as long as I find out that his brother is innocent, I will naturally let him go back. ”

Tang Ming gritted his teeth, took out the token given by Yao Guangxiao, and threw it to Ji Gang: "I don't know if there is this thing as a guarantee, whether the adults can see the face of the family teacher and let my eldest brother's family go back first." Of course, I won't make it difficult for adults, and if something happens, the younger brother will naturally not affect adults. ”

Salute first and then soldier, this is Tang Ming's plan now, if this can't make Ji Gang give in, then the only way is to use force. As for the mansion full of brocade guards, whether a few of them can win the battle is not something that Tang Ming needs to consider.
