Chapter 186: Where is the confidence?
"It's not that Zhang looks down on Brother Lu, but that Brother Lu is a big official, even if he is the spokesperson of the Baoguo Gong in Yansui, it is really hard to believe when he says this. Brother Lu said this, where is the confidence? There are nearly 400,000 people in the four towns, which is not a small number, isn't it that Brother Lu wants Zhang to listen to you alone, so he will go home? Zhang Ruluo looked surprised, and his eyes were full of suspicion and skimmed Lu Fei's face, but unfortunately, he didn't see the slightest clue from his face.
Lu Fei just lowered his head and thought about it, and then blurted out: "The commander is so gambling? ”
Zhang Ru didn't know why he asked so much, and asked rhetorically: "This matter has nothing to do with gambling." ”
"If the Governor is willing to gamble, please ask the Governor to deal with the affairs of Yansui Town first. Anyway, Lu is in the hands of the governor now, and he can't run away. After the commander has completely eliminated the scum in the army, he will not give the commander a list, and in this list, the lives of the people involved in the other three towns will be clearly written. At the same time, there are also some shady tricks in this list. The right should be a letter of nomination and handed over to the governor. Lu Fei chuckled.
Zhang Ru frowned slightly: "You just sold Baoguo Gong so simply, aren't you afraid that his old man will find you to settle accounts after he finds out?" ”
Lu Fei laughed: "Naturally, with the instruction of the Duke of Baoguo, I dare not be ashamed in front of the commander, otherwise, I still have parents to support at home, and I don't dare to make decisions without permission." ”
If it is really as Lu Fei said, everything he does is instructed by Bao Guogong behind his back, then Bao Guogong's attitude is a little ambiguous.
According to the dossier of Fusili in Weibei Town, Jinyi, Zhang Ru was most worried about the four towns of Yansui, Guyuan, Gansu, and Ningxia before inspecting Jiubian. Because the total soldiers of these four towns are all soldiers led by the same person, and the relationship between this person and the eldest princess of Gulun is somewhat unclear. This person is none other than Zhu Yong, the Baoguo Gong in Lu Fei's mouth.
Now Lu Fei suddenly told him that it was Zhu Yong hinting behind his back, and this intriguing reply made Zhang Ru not know whether to agree for a while.
"Why, Lord Zhang, the governor of the Nine Sides, who can be decisive in Taiyuan and Datong, also has times when he is in trouble?" Seeing that Zhang Ru didn't react for a long time, Lu Fei couldn't help but excitedly.
Zhang Ru's eyes stared at Lu Fei's eyes tightly, and he said word by word: "Can you guarantee that the Baoguo Guild will lead the people of the four towns under its command to stand firmly on the side of the prince at that time?" As far as I know, the relationship between Bao Guogong and the eldest princess Gulun over the years has been very close. The self-proclaimed tea boy likes to wear white clothes and sway around, but he is the guest of many generals. Even the old man of Baoguo Gong is very courteous to this tea boy! ”
Lu Fei said lightly when he heard this: "Don't worry about this, since Lu dares to say such things, he is sure to make Baoguo Gong stand firm." ”
"Who are you?" Zhang Ru suddenly asked.
"Heavy?" Lu Fei asked rhetorically.
Zhang Ru nodded heavily: "It may not be so important to you, but to me, it is very important." ”
Lu Fei said slowly: "Actually, what my identity is, it is not very important to you, the governor of the Nine Sides, but it is really important to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The prince is fortunate to have someone like you to assist. ”
Zhang Ru never commented on this kind of compliment, and looked at Lu Fei calmly: "No matter who it is important, it is very important after all." I don't know who you are, but I do things according to your train of thought, and I won't be able to sleep. I never rush into action until I'm ready, and when I do, I have to be sure that I will kill with one hit. ”
"Okay, it really deserves to be the initiator of forcing Wang Zhi away in the capital, and it is indeed worthy of being the nine-sided governor who killed people in Taiyuan." Lu Fei praised: "Lu admires the commander's decisive temperament. As for Lu's identity, he is not afraid to speak bluntly to the commander, but the commander knows who is the most favored among the thirteen sons and one daughter of the Duke of Baoguo? ”
Zhang Ru nodded and said, "Are you talking about the little county lord of Yongning?" ”
Lu Fei smiled and nodded and admitted: "Of course it's this eldest lady, she is sixteen years old now, she is twenty-eight Fanghua, and the number of people who pursue her is countless." Lu is fortunate to be one of these people. Moreover, Lu conscientiously followed the Duke of Guo, and the Grandpa of the State intended to marry the Lord of Yongning County. ”
Zhang Ru didn't say anything, the matter was big, and the identity of a future son-in-law of the Duke of Baoguo was not enough to make him tempted.
After all, Baoguo Gong has thirteen sons, and the eldest son Zhu Hui is a good civil and military person, although Zhu Yong likes young girls, but there is also a degree. Unless Bao Guogong himself really wants to assist the prince, even if Lu Fei becomes Bao Guogong's only son-in-law, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change Bao Guogong's attitude.
"Doesn't the Governor think that Lu, a cangda official who has not become the son-in-law of Baoguo Gongdong, has evidence of the greed of the generals of the border army in Yansui Town, this matter is very unreasonable?
Doesn't the Governor think that Lu, a person who was born as a businessman, was lucky enough to read a few lines of poetry and could get the reassurance of the county lord of Yongning, which was surprising?
Didn't the governor think that a cangda official dared to talk eloquently in front of the governor of the nine sides, a little unbelievable? After a long silence, it was Lu Fei who took the lead in breaking the silence.
Zhang Ru condensed and said: "It's abnormal. ”
Lu Fei nodded to himself and continued: "Naturally, it is very abnormal, not because of how powerful Lu is and can influence the thoughts of the Duke of Baoguo, nor is it that the county lord of Yongning is blind and will take a fancy to Lu, a poor boy who is poor and white." If it weren't for the fact that the commander made the feat of resisting the order of the military department and transferring 200,000 troops to fight against 300,000 Tatar iron cavalry, Lu, a small person, would definitely not be able to enter the eyes of the Lord Baoguo.
After being a cangdashi for so many years, he naturally knows the situation of Yansui well, and the instinct of a businessman always makes him like to grab some people.
With the commander's big victory in Datong, plus the capital accumulated in Xia in two years, Bao Guogong took a look at Zaigao.
But the little county lord of Yongning was an accident, she fell in love with me, so I have to be a county horse, this kind of thing, for me, an ordinary person, it is a pie-in-the-sky good thing, so I won't let it go, and I don't want to let it go. ”
Zhang Ru was stunned when he heard this, and now Lu Fei can't see a trace of Wang Shangbin, who dared to angrily reprimand Wan Jia's perverse behavior.
Now he looks like a snob who only knows fame and fortune, which does not match his expression when he talked about the situation of the border army before.
If he was really greedy for military rations for the sake of the soldiers of the border army, then he would definitely not put on such a posture. If he is really just a person who climbs up desperately for fame and fortune, then it can only prove one thing, what he said before was a lie.
"You think I can trust you?" Zhang Ru said with a smile.
He didn't hide his suspicions about this old acquaintance at all, after all, this was a military affair, and there was no room for sloppiness.
There were hundreds of thousands of border troops, and there were thousands of people on the prince's side, so he had to deal with them carefully. Once Baoguogong's position is not firm, as long as he shows a little sign in the battle for the heir, it will be easy to be co-opted by the eldest princess Gulun.
Although Zhang Ru didn't know why the eldest princess Gulun had so much hatred for Zhu Youzhu until now, as long as it was Zhu Youzhang's enemy, it was his Zhang Ru's enemy. The stumbling blocks in the way are either directly crushed, or, stepped on.
Lu Fei nodded thoughtfully, and then immediately shook his head like a rattle: "The Governor must not be able to trust me now, but if I say that the Duke of Baoguo has been on His Majesty's side from beginning to end, and the Governor doesn't believe it?" ”
Zhang Ruteng stood up: "What! ”
Lu Fei said with a smile: "The commander doesn't need to be nervous, the Duke of Baoguo also has his own considerations, he is on His Majesty's side, it doesn't mean that he will embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince." Next, I think the Governor should know what to do, these nine sides, the investigation should be checked, and I will give you the evidence, but whether you can find out, whether it is the same as my secret report after the investigation, it depends on the Governor's means. At this point, Lu retired first. ”
"Wait!" Zhang Ru drank Lu Fei: "Before taking down those bold generals in Yansui for questioning, I also asked Brother Lu to be wronged for a period of time in the Xiaozhao Prison of the Yulin Thousand Households." ”
Lu Fei's expression was natural: "That's what it should mean, I don't plan to leave Xiaozhao Prison, with your old acquaintance here, I'm not afraid of those guys punishing him." ”
Zhang Ruen sighed, tilted his head and said to Jiang Wei who was standing next to him: "Escort people down, strictly guard, no one is allowed to approach without the general's order, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!" ”
This was said to the people of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, not to the people of Yulin Qianhu.
There are still scum in the Soaring Cloud Rider that he trusts the most, not to mention the Yulin Thousand Households that he has no intersection with at all, these people may not even know what he looks like as the commander of the brocade guard, how can he be loyal?
After putting Lu Fei back into custody, Zhang Ru said to Jiang Wei: "Take someone to arrest the person on this secret report, no matter how big or small the official position is, don't let anyone go." Secretly arrested, try not to let the soldiers below know, so as not to cause a mutiny. ”
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, but finally bowed his head and left.
In the past, the arrest was generally done by Fan Tong, but after Zhang Fugui arrived at Zhang Ru's side, part of the arrest was transferred to Zhang Fugui, and it was the first time for Jiang Wei to arrest someone.
Everything was in full swing in secret, and the hundreds of brocade guards brought from the capital were all dispatched, and just in case, each team of captured brocade guards was also equipped with two Shenji battalion soldiers with short guns.
