Chapter 69 gathers in Zhangjiakou

"Father-in-law Zhao, please don't be impatient, the ministry is still the same as before, whether I will be in a different place, this is not a matter of father-in-law's heart. Now that the ministry has brought you to court, I have something to ask you, and I ask my father-in-law to answer truthfully. Father-in-law, those ordnance were sold to Jin Liang by father-in-law, but I don't know how many? Wu Sinan was calm and arrogant.

"How many ......" These ordnance didn't come out of him, how did Zhao Yan know how many, hesitated, and then said: "How many are you in charge of?" Our family is a prison sent by the imperial court, even if you are guilty, it will not be your turn to be tried by the governor of the Xuanfu. ”

What he said is not bad, even if the prison army is guilty and the evidence is conclusive, it will not be the turn of a governor to try it, at most he will participate in the court, and the court will at most. Usually come, will jiāo to the east factory.

Wu Sinan naturally knew this truth, he smiled slightly, and said: "Since the father-in-law is like this, then wait for the ministry to play the Ming court, and the emperor will decide it." However, the father-in-law has admitted in court that the guards are stealing and selling military supplies, so please ask the father-in-law to sign and draw the charge. ”

"Painting the ......" Zhao Yan hesitated, and then said loudly: "Our family has just now, and if you want to judge our family, the adult is not qualified enough, and in the same way, even if our family wants to sign and draw the charge, it is impossible to be in the adult's court." Even if the evidence is conclusive, you, a governor, will at most have the share of impeachment. ”

"My father-in-law is really sharp-tongued, so let's wait for the will of the court." Wu Sinan Road.

"I dare not be ashamed of my teeth, compared with adults, our family is far behind." Zhao Yan was angry in his heart, and it was inevitable that his mouth would be-for-tat.

Wu Sinan didn't pay attention to him anymore, but suddenly said something, "Oh, why is it noon so soon, everyone is hungry, come here, hurry up and prepare lunch." ”

Wu Sinan was asking questions in the hall here, while Fan Dou, Tian Lan and others were in a hurry, and kept sending people to inquire about the situation of the governor's travels. As a result, they became even more anxious, watching the time pass little by little, but they did not get any useful information. What happened to Zhao Yan, Wu Sinan was not moved, and what was the situation of Jin Liang and Wang Dayu.

If they can't get the news of the three of them, it's just that, what they can't understand the most is what Wu Sinan means. If you want to embarrass them, you must send a letter to Beijing City, but Wu Sinan's mansion doesn't even have a person out of Mén, which is too puzzling. First, he didn't send someone to Beijing to deliver the letter, and second, he didn't release Jin Liang and Wang Dayu, what kind of yào was sold in the gourd.

Noon passed, and the person who was sent to Xuanfu and Yanghe to deliver the letter must have arrived. The stakes are very high, and these brothers can't sit down if they want to, so they will come immediately. It's halfway now.

"Xuanfu is closer to Zhangjiakou, Mi Zhihuan and Xiao Fengzhong won't need much to arrive, I might as well go and meet them." Fan Dou has always been calm, but from his current words, it is not difficult to hear the meaning of anxiety.

"Let's get out of town."

The six bosses took their buddies and went out of the city immediately. Coming out of Nanmén and walking for three miles, there is a double fork in the road here, these two roads, one leads to Xuanfu and the other leads to Yanghe. That is, the intersection they arrived at is the road from Xuanfu and Yanghe to Zhangjiakou after all.

There is a wonton restaurant here, and the six bosses got out of the car, wrapped up the wonton restaurant, and waited inside. It didn't matter much, on the road to Xuanfu, there was smoke and dust, and it seemed that a lot of people were coming, Fan Dou expected that Mi Zhihuan and Xiao Fengzhong were coming, and hurriedly asked people to come forward to greet them.

Soon, the speed of the people and horses on the road, as it got closer and closer, could also be cleared, about more than five hundred horses. There are two people at the head, one is dressed as a military general, the other is dressed as a eunuch, and both of them are dusty servants, so they are tired of traveling.

The two jumped off the horse in front of the wonton restaurant and walked over quickly, Fan Dou and Tian Lan came out of it, and while walking, they arched their hands and said, "General Mi and Gonggong Xiao, I finally looked forward to you." ”

"Brother Fan, what's the situation now?" Mi Zhihuan, who was dressed as a military general, asked eagerly.

"Please, let's talk." Fan Dou and others invited Mi Zhihuan and Xiao Fengzhong into the wonton restaurant.

In the current wonton restaurant, the original boss and guys have been sent away, and this place can have been taken over by Fan Dou. Inside, eight people sat around a table, and then Fan Dou said, "General Mi, Gonggong Xiao, something is wrong." Didn't I buy 20,000 sets of ordnance from Gonggong Xiao and prepare to sell them outside the Saiwai, who would have thought that when I was out of the city, a car overturned and the ordnance came out. When the officers and soldiers guarding outside the city arrived, they rushed up and intercepted our goods, and even Wang Dayu and Jin Liang were arrested and put into the governor's line. We invited Zhao Gonggong to go to Xingyuanhe, hoping that Governor Wu could make a big deal happen, but I never thought that after Zhao Gonggong entered Xingyuan, he would never return. I waited for the ants on the hot pot, and I really didn't know what to do. Just wait for the two of you to arrive, and discuss a countermeasure together. ”

"Those ordnance were intercepted by Wu Sinan!" Although Xiao Fengzhong had already learned about this from the informant, now that he heard Fan Dou's story, his heart was even more nervous.

Dou nodded.

"Brother Fan, I heard that the ordnance was intercepted in the morning, and now it's already noon, haven't you found out what Wu Sinan means for such a long time? Do you want money or do you want something? Mi Zhihuan was also a little flustered, he didn't take less from the Jin merchants, he had been embarrassed in the past, and now if something happened to the Jin merchants, he wouldn't follow the bag to get out of the ghost, he didn't believe that the Jin merchants would talk about righteousness at a critical moment, and they wouldn't shake out the things that were in the past.

"If you want silver, then do it, I have already given Zhao Gonggong 50,000 taels of silver first, and asked him to give it to Wu Sinan, and said that if it is not enough, just open your mouth, how much you want. However, Gonggong Zhao didn't come back after he went, and if he wanted silver, he probably would have believed it a long time ago. However, there is another thing that I don't understand, that is, if Wu Sinan wants to take charge of us, he should already send troops, or send someone to play the Ming court, but now, there has been no movement. Fan Dou said.

"This is really strange, otherwise, Gonggong Xiao and I will go to the governor to see that Wu Sinan, what does he mean?" Mi Zhihuan said.

"It's not appropriate...... Fan Dou waved his hand and said: "General Mi is the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Gonggong Xiao is the army of Xuanfu soldiers and horses. Wu Sinan bought the account and paid it back, but he was afraid that he would not buy it and deduct the two of them. I now wonder if Gonggong Zhao has been placed under house arrest by Wu Sinan. ”

"He dares! What right does Wu Sinan have to detain Zhao Yan, although he is the governor, but Zhao Yan is the soldiers and horses of Zhangjiakou after all, and the prison army is equivalent to the Qin messenger sent by the emperor, even if he is guilty, it is not his turn to detain him, at least he must play the emperor Ming first. Xiao Fengzhong hurriedly said loudly.

"It stands to reason that Wu Sinan shouldn't have the courage to listen to a word, even if he borrows two more guts, he may not dare. I'm afraid that there is someone behind him to support him, so he dares to do such a thing. Fan Dou said with some concern.

"Someone backing up? Hmph......" Xiao Fengzhong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Zhao Yan's father-in-law is our family, and our father-in-law is Gonggong Zhang, showing the name of my father-in-law, even if he is a cabinet minister, he has to give up a few points, who dares to support him with this waist?" ”

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, people expect that there is only one person who can make Wu Sinan have such courage, and that is the 'King of Yueyan' who is famous as the Jingshi." Fan Dou said in an authentic voice.

"Ah......" As soon as Fan Dou uttered the words 'King Yue Yan', Xiao Fengzhong and Mi Zhihuan's faces immediately appeared frightened, and the boss with a long mouth was speechless for a long time.

"Don't worry, you two, this is just people's speculation, not necessarily accurate." Fan Dou saw that the two were scared, and hurriedly helped to comfort them.

"Yes, yes......" Xiao Fengzhong and Mi Zhihuan nodded immediately and said, "It may not be done accurately." ”

In this world, the only person who can make them is probably the 'King of Yueyan' who kills people without blinking. Three bronze guillotines, no matter who you are, you can cut first and then play, and the officials who died under the guillotine are countless. What more do you compare with those people? Especially now, Yue Su has returned to the cabinet, and the name of Minister Tuogu is placed there, which is even more terrifying.

"That's the case, but what if? Brother Fan didn't die just now, if it weren't for Yue Su's courage and borrowing Wu Sinan's courage, he wouldn't dare to detain the prison army. Mi Zhihuan was afraid of him in his heart, and his voice trembled a little. He had seen Yue Su, when Yue Su passed through Xuanfu, he went to receive him with the previous governor, Lord Yue gave people the feeling that he was not angry and arrogant, although his tone was calm, but it always made people feel frightened. This feeling of deterrence is the first time Mi Zhihuan has ever had.

"Even if it's really someone sent by the 'King of Yue Yan', what can it be, and it's not Yue Su's own arrival, what is there to be afraid of?" Fan Dou said coldly.

"But...... If he has Lord Yue's support, the matter will be reported to the imperial court, and no one can protect us, and we will die. Mi Zhihuan said nervously.

"You're too, if the matter is reported to the court, we will die. But if we can't report to the court, we don't have to die. Fan Dou said fiercely.

"This ...... How is this possible......" Mi Zhihuan said in a tone of disbelief.

"If Wu Sinan dies, will this matter not be reported to Beijing?" When Fan Dou said this, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
