"Niang Xipi, do you think that old lady of Gu Lun is easy to bully?" After Zhang Ru heard the news, he took the case.

In addition to Jiang Wei and Ma Xuan, several henchmen were all present, and even Xie Lun, who had been in charge of business, also came. Hearing Zhang Ru's angry scolding, several people said in unison: "My lord should be cautious." ”

The resolution on the feudal marquis did not say a charter in the court, because the parties had already left, and the last punch of the officials who held on to it hit the cotton, and the new emperor Zhu Youzhu simply brushed his sleeves away.

Therefore, the people of Jinyiwei are still called Lord Zhang Ru, not Hou Ye.

"What is it to be cautious, she dares to do this, can't Lao Tzu scold? Mu Bin, you personally take people and invite these rice and grain vendors over. Zhang Ru commanded.

Mu Bin hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly prepared to leave.

Before leaving the duty room, Zhang Ru said again: "If you encounter something that is not eye-opening, you will be tied up and sent over, and Gu Lun should have arranged a backhand to bring more people." ”

Whether she is threatened or really doesn't want to open, there must be the actions of the eldest princess Gulun in the middle.

Mu Bin left with someone, but Wang Zhou told Zhang Ru a message: "My lord, Jiang Wei has returned to Datong, and the news has just been sent back." ”

Zhang Ru waved his hand impatiently: "Now is not the time to take care of Lao Jiang, let's finish Gu Lun's affairs first." ”

He really didn't have the energy to delve into what Jiang Wei was right now, because the matter in front of him was too tricky.

Hundreds of thousands of millions of people in the capital have to eat grain every day, and so many rice and grain shops are closed, and those people who have no food will definitely make a fuss.

As the imperial city at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it must not be chaotic, once the imperial city is chaotic, then the entire Ming Dynasty will follow the chaos, and the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and the old Zhu family's country will be in danger.

"Then let's ride the clouds?" Wang Zhou asked.

Zhang Ru said coldly: "Biaoyun Riding led people to suppress Mu Bin's formation, if those grain merchants were threatened, then there must be people from Gulun in their families, once Mu Bin led people to conflict with those people, Biaoyun Rider's people will directly attack Ben General, kill him dozens or hundreds first, don't show mercy to his subordinates." ”

Wang Zhou commanded: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Fan Tong and Xie Lun were still left in the duty room, Fan Tong was a depressed person, and if Zhang Ru didn't tell him, he wouldn't take the initiative to do something. Xie Lun controlled Jinyiwei's private property, and he couldn't help with this kind of fighting, killing, so he didn't speak.

After making arrangements for the grain merchant, Zhang Ru asked casually, "Lao Xie, how is the situation on your side?" I haven't had time to read any information about the firm lately. ”

Xie Lun's expression was solemn, and he immediately began to explain carefully.

Today, Xie Lun is the big shopkeeper of Wenxuan Trading Company, and he already has five small shopkeepers, only three of these shopkeepers are sitting in Jia, and two are merchants who travel between Liaodong and the Central Plains.

One of them was responsible for the trade of cattle and sheep skins and beef and mutton on the grassland, and the other two were responsible for the rare furs from Liaodong. Of course, the three shopkeepers can still sell treasures such as wild ginseng in private.

However, these medicinal materials, it doesn't matter, they are difficult to buy, after all, things that can save lives, Xie Lun doesn't plan to sell too much. ，

The two merchants were responsible for each taking charge of a route, one from Datong to the grassland, and one from Liaodong to the Central Plains.

The income that can bring Jinyiwei every year is about 200,000 taels, and this 200,000 taels is not pure income, but only gross profit, and the real net income is only about 50,000 taels.

Speaking of this, Xie Lun said with some shame: "My subordinates are incompetent, so I can only do this for the time being." ”

Zhang Ru nodded and said: "It's already very good, if it's run by someone else, I'm afraid it won't be able to make such a big deal out of you." If there is any difficulty, send someone directly to tell me that what you can't solve, Jinyiwei can solve it. ”

Xie Lun frowned and said: "My lord, something is wrong in this period of time, our caravan has matured, whether it is the beard of Liaodong or the horse bandits on the grassland, we have dealt with it." But lately, these bearded and horse bandits have not been very obedient, and often have nothing to do to embarrass our caravan. Half a month ago, a batch of goods worth 50,000 taels was cut off by the largest group of beards in Liaodong. ”

"Where did those people come from, and how many are there?" Zhang Ru asked.

Xie Lun said: "Those people are not natives of Liaodong, most of them are Mongolians, Jurchens, and a few are Han people who can't survive. However, the bandit leader Xiong is bald, but he is an authentic Han man. This group of people is about 3,000 people, and the number of people who can fight can be maintained at about 2,000 at any time. There are a lot of caravan guards, but with so many beards, we are no opponents. ”

Zhang Ruqi said: "Didn't you tell the people over there in Liaodong Qianhu? ”

Xie Lun shook his head and said: "It's useless to say it, the gang of people in the Qianhu Institute in Liaodong are unwilling to obey." The people in the Thousand Households are inextricably linked to these beards, and they refuse to tear their skins. ”

Zhang Ru frowned and said, "Then you can go directly to Liaodong Chief Soldier Gu Qian, he should be able to help." ”

Xie Lun smiled bitterly: "My lord, the identity of the last general Jinyi Wei Qianhu cannot be exposed casually, after all, the last general is leading a caravan and not Jinyiwei's cavalry. As a caravan leader, I went to see the general soldier, but I was afraid that I would be blasted out before I finished speaking. The style of those people in Liaodong is known to adults, and the general will not have this ability. ”

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people of Liaodong were only 100,000, and now there are tens of thousands of border troops alone. In addition, there are more and more merchants in Liaodong, and there are not a few precious items such as ginseng and mink that can be transported out from Liaodong. The pockets of the border army gradually bulged, but they lost their desperate heart.

"I can't let go of the business business, I write a letter in my hand, you take it to Liaodong and hand it over to Wu Qian, see if I still have face in Liaodong. If he still refuses to send troops to help, then you don't have a conflict with them, and leave Liaodong temporarily with people, and I will send someone to deal with the affairs there. Zhang Ru pondered for a long time before making his own decision.

Now there are a lot of things in the capital, and he can't let go of his hands and feet, only when the things in the capital come to an end, can he free his hands and feet to deal with Wu Qian.

The veteran who has guarded the border for decades is not a guy like Hartu and Xu Ning who has no strong foundation. If you really take down Gui Qian, not to mention whether the tens of thousands of border troops in Liaodong will agree, even the old prince Zhu Yong, who has a good relationship with Jinyiwei now, will not agree.

Gu Qian is an old subordinate of this old man, and if his old subordinates are here, he has to say hello to him no matter what.

Zhang Ru explained the matter in the Fusi of Beizhen, but the soldiers and horses of the five cities over there detained three people.

All three were old men, one of them had a white beard, one had a wrinkled face, and the last man looked to be only in his forties, but in fact he was past the age of ear smoothness.

After being greeted by the Jinyi Guard, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not dare to be negligent, if something really went wrong, it was not something they could afford to bear.

After waiting for so many days, no matter who entered the city, as long as it was a young man, he would be stopped by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for questioning. But no matter how you look at these three old men, they don't look like the existence of the rebel bandit leader or something, and the Jinyi guard Xiaoqi Huang, who happened to be on duty at the city gate, wondered in his heart, but he still walked over.

"What's going on?" Huang Tu shouted in a tone that he thought was majestic.

The general who was shrunk in the crowd touched his chin and said, "Lord Huang, these people have sharp blades on their bodies, and they don't seem to be good people, so the little ones took them down." ”

As soon as he heard that several people had sharp blades hidden on their bodies, Huang Tu immediately came to his senses and shouted: "Come on, take it!" ”

After only hearing a word, he ordered to take people, and several old men were stunned, and then immediately the old man with white hair snorted coldly: "Jinyiwei is becoming more and more unfashionable now, and a few small miscellaneous fish dare to do something to the old man, let you take care of things." ”

Huang Tu said proudly: "I am in charge, no matter who you are, I can take you down if you enter the city with a sword at any time." ”

The young looking old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "But your commander said this?" ”

Huang Tu said: "The orders above are not for the people below us to ask, we just need to do our part." Don't talk nonsense, take it all, don't care what their identity is, enter Zhao Prison, and ensure that all of them are recruited. ”

This was said a little lawlessly, and even the generals of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division felt that Huang Tu was a little too arrogant.

Several old men looked angry when they heard this, and the gray-haired old man sneered and took off a waist tag from his body: "Open your dog's eyes and see if the old man is the person you can take!" ”

The iron plate is not big, and it is written in the north town of Fusi, and the suffix is 100 households.

Are these people Jinyiwei? Huang Tu hasn't been in Jinyiwei for a long time, but does Jinyiwei really have such an old horseman?

He tried hard to check his memory, and found that he didn't remember that Jinyiwei had these such characters, and his face gradually turned cold: "Okay, you dare to forge Jinyiwei's waist card and look for death." Brothers, go on, take them all, if there are those who resist, shoot and kill! ”

As soon as the words fell, the youngest of the three old men who were surrounded by layers suddenly moved, and in the blink of an eye, the man arrived in front of Huang Tu.

Immediately after, Huang Tu felt a chill on his neck, and a three-foot-long iron rod was tightly attached to his neck. There were barbs on the iron bar, and if the old man wanted to kill him, he only had to move his fingers lightly.

Huang Tu can be regarded as not chaotic, he is still calm when he is pressed to the neck by such a killing weapon: "All the brocade guards, wind up the bow and crossbow, and shoot them on the spot!" ”

His brothers hesitated, they only had two crossbows under a small bannerman, and if this crossbow was fired indiscriminately, it would be easy to shoot Huang Tu to death.

An imperceptible approving approval flashed in the old man's eyes, and seeing that those riders didn't dare to move, the old man said: "Go and call your commander over, don't rush the Dragon King Temple, the family doesn't know the family." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Huang Tu chuckled in his heart, could it be that these people are really Jinyiwei's people?
