Chapter 287: Jin Wuwei
"I know I'm sorry, yes, it proves that you're still a little shameful. The imperial court spends a lot of state money every year, raising millions of border troops on the nine sides, and raising you guards and soldiers, is this how you serve the country? Zhang Ru's words became more and more harsh, and his fingers almost poked into the face of the man with triangular eyes.
The soldiers who were pressed to the barracks around all lowered their heads, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
The big action of the group still attracted the attention of other people in Jinling City, and Zhang Rucai scolded the triangular-eyed man for a long time, and someone ran over angrily with a large group of people.
The triangular-eyed man is suffering words, he is just a thousand generals, Jinwu has four thousand generals, and there are also guard commanders above, he is a small person, where is he qualified to decide whether the barracks are inhabited or not.
However, he also knew that he was at the loss, and the other party regarded him as the commander of the Jin Wu's avant-garde.
Seeing the gold-armored general who came with a large group of people, the triangular-eyed man's eyes flashed with hope: Damn, it's finally saved.
The golden-armored man looked to be about forty years old, and he was wearing a chain armor that shimmered golden in the sun, and at a glance he knew that this man was not a battle-hardened general. Any qualified general, as long as he has experienced the baptism of the battlefield, will not gild the already dazzling chain armor into gold. You must know that many things on the battlefield can expose the target, and the commander of the first army wears gold armor, which is completely a moving live target.
The man in Jinjia saw the triangular-eyed man squeezing his eyebrows at him, and vented all his anger at Zhang Ru: "Who are you, if you want to rebel, you can't do it!" ”
changed his identity and arrested the generals of the imperial court, which is really no different from rebellion.
The person who can be the commander of the first guard is naturally not stupid, and the other party dares to arrest his subordinates so blatantly, which means that the identity of the other party is not simple.
At least, the identity of the other party is enough for him not to take a thousand in his eyes.
This scolding is just to know the identity of the other party.
Zhang Ru just said lightly: "I think it's you who want to rebel!" A good Jinwu avant-garde garrison barracks, forced you to make a pig farm. Don't you think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Your Majesty doesn't know what you have done? ”
The Jinjia man's heart jumped, and he immediately put away his contempt, and said to Zhang Ru: "I don't know who this little brother is."
Zhang Ru said: "You don't need to know my identity, if you can, you need to tell me your identity." As for the matter here, I will naturally go to Wei Guogong to ask for clarification. ”
"Can this brother take a step to speak?" The gold-armored man panicked instantly, walked to Zhang Ru's side and said in a low voice.
Jin Yiwei did not react to this person's approach, this kind of strong and middle-dry goods, Zhang Ru alone can deal with five.
Zhang Ru refused mercilessly: "You don't need to take a step to speak, you just say who you are and what official position you are in Jinling." For other things, I will naturally ask Wei Guogong to understand, as for why you brought so many people here, I don't want to know. ”
The Jinjia man's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that the other party would not enter the oil and salt, and he kept saying that he wanted to ask Wei Guogong for an explanation.
Who Xu Li is, others don't know, but their subordinates know, don't look at the Wei Guogong Mansion is also involved in a lot of money, but Wei Guogong is an upright person.
If Wei Guogong knew that they used the barracks of the garrison to raise pigs and feed chickens, it is estimated that there would be no need for the black gauze hat on his head. I can't say that in order to give this young man an explanation, he has to be confiscated for 3,000 miles.
He gritted his teeth, took two steps back, and said, "Are you sure you can't borrow a step to speak?" ”
Zhang Ru sneered: "Do you not understand human words or am I not speaking animal language?" There is no need for you to take a step to speak. ”
"I'm the little boy's person, and you don't even want to give the little boy this face?" The Jinjia man still holds hope, hoping that the other party can let himself go for the sake of Xu Li's youngest son Xu Huaiyuan.
It's a pity that Zhang Ru is hard-hearted and doesn't care at all: "I don't care who you are, as an official of the imperial court, you connived at your subordinates to indulge in the official way, and also used the garrison barracks as a place to raise livestock." If I hadn't seen it, you might have been able to get away with it, but as long as I did, if you didn't give an explanation, how could you embarrass the brotherhood of those who are fighting with their lives in the Nine Border Towns! ”
After that, Zhang Ru raised his legs and left.
The golden-armored man gritted his teeth and said, "Stop! Since you don't know what to do, don't blame me for not being emotional. Come on, give Ben will take down these thieves who trespassed into the barracks! ”
The word anti-thief, he said it very seriously.
Zhang Ru laughed and said: "Hahaha, this Ming dares to say that I am a thief, and you are the number one." ”
When he spoke, the people on the other side had already moved, but as soon as those people pulled out the waist knives on their waists, the two hundred light crossbows on this side were already aimed at their vital parts.
Except for one of the fastest men, who had already taken a few steps with his knife drawn, everyone else was stunned by the light crossbows. The military man who walked a few steps didn't seem to have a low rank, but unfortunately, in order to show himself, he did it too obviously. Fan Tong happily gave him a crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow shot directly through the opponent's head.
The people brought by the golden armor generals were only four or five hundred, and in the face of two hundred light crossbows that could fire three times in a row, no one dared to move.
The moment the light crossbow appeared, the strong smell of blood emanating from the people on the opposite side made the hands and feet of soldiers in Jinling, who had not experienced the baptism of war in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty at all, weak.
A few of the brave ones could still hold on to their weapons, but they didn't have the courage to rush forward and kill.
Zhang Ru slowly walked to the side of the Jinjia general, stretched out his hand and patted his face: "Sometimes don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand, I dare to say that even Xu Li may not dare to say that he can cover the sky with one hand in Jinling, let alone you." ”
"What do you want!" The golden armor general broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhang Ru said in a deep voice: "Name, official rank, why has this become a pigsty, where have the soldiers gone?" ”
The golden armor general still wanted to kill the duck's hard mouth, but after finishing speaking, Zhang Ru had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife. The sharp blade of the embroidered spring knife clung to his neck, and the cold feeling made his hairs stand on end.
After holding on for a while, the Jinjia general couldn't support it anymore, and said honestly: "Qiu Zhen, the commander of the Nanjing Jinwu avant-garde guard." Jinwu avant-garde Wu Qian Bai people were established, but there were only a few people in the early 1,000s who really did things, and the barracks were rented to the rich families in the city, and the military salaries of other people were eaten. ”
Zhang Ru suddenly realized that he was eating empty salary.
"What about the other soldiers?" Zhang Ru asked again.
The Jinjia general said: "More than 1,000 people usually practice in the barracks of the Jinwu Left Guard, and there are not many people over there anyway, so there will be no crowding." ”
The other party was able to take the initiative to explain, which made Zhang Ru a little surprised, but he was immediately relieved, in the face of these people who dared to fight against Jinwu's avant-garde, even if the other party had experienced some small-scale wars, he might not dare to hide it.
Zhang Ru smiled: "Fan Tong, take people and go to the Guogong Mansion." ”
Because of the relationship between the ancestors, the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing, which was able to Yongzhen Nanjing, covers a huge area in Nanjing, and it is afraid that there are as many as 100 acres including the inner house.
The street in front of the Guogong Mansion is very spacious, three points wider than the average street, and this street seems very cold, there are no vendors at all, not even wine shops and inns.
The four big characters of the Wei Mansion are very atmospheric, and the plaque is also very large, even a few points larger than the plaque of the Baoguo Mansion in the capital. The two burly men stood at the door without squinting. Like the two stone lions at the door, both of them were motionless.
Even when they heard the sound of noisy footsteps, the two of them did not have the slightest intention of moving.
It wasn't until Zhang Ru stopped at the gate of the Wei Mansion with people that the two looked at Zhang Ru with puzzled eyes, and then, one of them turned around and entered the Guogong Mansion.
The other person looked at Zhang Ru and his entourage, looking up and down with malicious eyes.
Seeing that someone had entered, Zhang Ru had no intention of reporting his home, so he stood in place with hundreds of people.
Not long after, an old man dressed in brown came out of it, the old man had gray hair, was about half a hundred years old, and his steps were steady.
With his eyes swept through the crowd, the old man could tell that Zhang Ru was the leader, and arched his hand towards Zhang Ru very magnanimously: "This prince Xingshi mobilized everyone to come to the Guogong Mansion, what are you doing?" ”
This person is the steward of the Guogong Mansion, and his knowledge is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. In Nanjing, one acre and three points of land, there are really no people who dare to come to the gate of the Duke of Wei to spread wild.
The other party dared to appear at the door with hundreds of people with weapons, and the origin must be not small, maybe it was some kind of great river dragon.
For this kind of person, even Xu Li is unwilling to offend too much, not to mention that he is just a small housekeeper.
The other party was polite, Zhang Ru was naturally polite, and after raising his hand to return the salute, he said: "Please let me know, and say that Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, wants to see Wei Guogong." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, he didn't even arch his hand, and simply got out of the way: "Forgive me Master Hou, the villain is clumsy, I don't know Lord Hou in person, it's really lazy, and I ask Master Hou to sit inside." ”
Zhang Ru smiled and said: "Don't be polite, I'm welcome, let's talk about it after asking Guogong!" ”
Since the old housekeeper dared to invite Zhang Ru in, he naturally had his own support, but he didn't expect Zhang Ru to be reluctant to go in at all, but insisted on letting him in to ask for instructions.
Helpless, he had no choice but to turn around and enter the Hou Mansion.
Xu Li was reading a book in the study, and when he heard that Zhang Ru asked to see him, he wondered very much for a while, he didn't seem to have any intersection with the upstart in the capital, why did the other party come to him?
Of course, Zhang Ru's identity was not enough for Xu Li to greet him personally, and Zhang Ru did not say that he had a holy decree on him, so after the old housekeeper appeared again, Zhang Ru followed him into the Hou Mansion.
