When he arrived in Kaifeng, Henan, Zhang Pu was very low-key, honed in the capital for so many years, although the arrogance in his heart still exists, but for those ethereal surface articles, it is very clear, these years in the capital and the imperial court, seeing the Donglin Party step by step towards the peak, as one of them, Zhang Pu is even low-key important, it is precisely because of the low-key that the Donglin Party can gain the trust of the emperor, can win the admiration of the Manchu Dynasty.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, and Gao Qiqian, the superintendent of the army, were both in Kaifeng Fucheng, which made Zhang Pu even more humble.

Xiong Wencan has a very good relationship with Yang Sichang, the assistant minister of the cabinet, and now Yang Sichang is a popular person around the emperor, and he can be said to be the emperor's most trusted cabinet minister, and Gao Qiqian is needless to say, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and the relationship between the eunuch Wang Chengen and the eunuch of Bingbi is also good.

When Zhang Pu came to Henan, of course, he undertook the task, and it was an extraordinary task.

Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others have already gotten the news that Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, acted without authorization, led the Zheng family army into Henan, defeated Li Zicheng, and recovered Luoyang Fucheng, but this credit is credited to Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian and others, but Qian Shisheng and others just heard that there is no conclusive evidence, and even if there is evidence, I am afraid they will not be able to take it. Maybe after someone secretly acts, Zheng Xunrui will be commended by the emperor.

Therefore, Zhang Puming came to patrol the situation in Henan, to see how arrogant the rogues are, and secretly to investigate Zheng Xunrui, to see what Zheng Xunrui did in Henan, and whether he could find the flaws, as long as he found Zheng Xunrui's flaws and attacked Zheng Xunrui alone, I believe that the sensation caused would not be so big.

The reason why Qian Shisheng and others deliberately wanted to deal with Zheng Xunrui. It is because they perceive the danger that Zheng Xunrui, who is in Nanzhili, is already shaking their roots, at least in the four prefectures and three prefectures in Huaibei. The influence of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe has declined sharply, and many scholars have begun to favor Zheng Xunrui, because Zheng Xunrui has made Huaibei richer and the people have stabilized, and the changes in Huaibei are ironclad facts. No matter how much Donglin Academy publicizes, it can't belittle these behaviors, otherwise it will really be spurned.

What makes Qian Shisheng and others even more unbearable is that Zheng Xunrui's tentacles have extended to Nanjing, Suzhou and Zhejiang, if Zheng Xunrui controls the entire Nanzhili or even Zhejiang and other places, then the influence of Donglin Academy will have a major crisis, Nanzhili is the birthplace of Donglin Academy, and it is also the source, and there must be no problems.

To a certain extent, Zheng Xunrui is already the biggest enemy of the Donglin Party. Its threatening power far exceeded that of Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, because Zheng Xunrui made it almost impossible for the Donglin Party to find a point of attack.

Of course, Zhang Pu's investigation this time is very difficult, Xiong Wencan, Gao Qiqian and others, including Wu Fu, have all received the benefits of Zheng Xunrui, and they must defend Zheng Xunrui everywhere, so Zhang Pu can only keep a low profile.

Superficially humble, does not indicate that Zhang Pu will stop doing things, in terms of investigation. He will not be polite, after coming to Kaifeng Fucheng, he will patrol the imperial history of the signboard out, so that as many people as possible know that the imperial court sent people to Henan.

Xiong Wencan and others are not stupid. When Zhang Pu first arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he was very humble and low-key, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhang Pu's next behavior made them feel wrong, according to the rules. Zhang Pu is a patrol of imperial history, and he can understand all aspects of the situation in Henan on behalf of the emperor, but this time Zhang Pu came to Henan, the focus of what he wanted to know was the situation of the Liukou, and he could ignore other aspects.

After Zhang Pu played a fanfare signboard, Xiong Wencan, Gao Qiqian, Wu Fu and others immediately changed their attitudes, and the patrol yamen was in the front yard of the mansion, but the sergeants guarding in front of the mansion were on strict guard every day, so in this case, even if someone wanted to tell the patrol lord about the situation, it was also very difficult, and Xiong Wencan and others never saw Zhang Pu again, and hung Zhang Pu and several officials brought by him in the mansion.

Zhang Pu felt nervous, the strong dragon couldn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that Xiong Wencan and the others were not simple, in a short period of time, Zhang Pu made a decision, don't stay in the mansion, go out and have a look, such a request is impossible for others to object.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance began to know a lot about the situation of Tuoyangkun and others, and they also got their wish, and in a short period of time, they mastered all the information of Tuoyangkun and others.

The 10,000 army led by Tuoyangkun and others is active in the Ruzhou area, which is close to Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which can be described as the most dangerous place, and it is possible to encounter the encirclement and suppression of the official army at any time, the Ruzhou place is not very large, and the scope of the activities of the righteous army is also limited, in this case, it should be very difficult to maintain, but Li Zicheng does not seem to care very much.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance have been looking for opportunities, they are literati, it is definitely not possible to run away openly, so if they can't run far, they will be caught by the people around King Chuang, and if they want to leave Nanyang smoothly, they can only think of other ways.

After thinking hard, the way finally came to mind, in the name of caring about the situation in Ruzhou, the two of them reported to King Chuang many times, and got permission to enter Ruzhou to see the situation of Tuoyangkun and others, which implied that in fact, it was to monitor the every move of Tuoyangkun and others, and report their situation to King Chuang.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance's request was in line with Li Zicheng's thoughts, so after several discussions, Li Zicheng agreed to the request of the two, and said that Niu Jinxing's home is in Baofeng County, Ruzhou, and it is reasonable to take this opportunity to go back and have a look.

At this time, the information came again, and the patrol sent by the imperial court came to Henan.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance saw great hope, they were still thinking about who to go to, the governor of the five provinces, Lord Xiong Wencan, the governor of Henan, Lord Wu Fu, those are all high-ranking adults, not they can see casually, as for the directors of other prefectures and counties, it may not be useful to see them, it just so happens that the imperial court sent by the imperial court to the imperial history came to Henan, at this time they went to the imperial history of the imperial court, and they will definitely be able to get the weight.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance quickly made preparations.

They set off from Nanyang and headed towards Ruzhou, of course, they were accompanied by more than a dozen volunteer sergeants, these people were to protect the safety of the two, but for the two of them, the righteous sergeants were already a burden.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance had already thought of a way, after entering Ruzhou, the two quickly communicated with the righteous sergeant, Niu Jinxing said that he wanted to go home to see, and he didn't want anyone to follow behind, when he made this request, Niu Jinxing took out a lot of silver, so that the righteous sergeant calmly distributed.

The sergeants of the Righteous Army have long known that after Niu Jinxing comes to Ruzhou, he will definitely go home to have a look, and many sergeants in the Righteous Army are also like this, and when they pass by or are stationed in their hometowns, they will go home to have a look.

The silver given by Ox Venus also played a big role.

Niu Jinxing agreed with the sergeant of the rebel army that the time limit was five days, and everyone waited ten miles outside the city.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance entered Baofeng City, and immediately hired a carriage in the city, Niu Jinxing did not go home at all, but asked the coachman to leave from the east gate and go in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng.

Baofeng has more than 400 miles to Kaifeng Fucheng, Niu Jinxing gave enough silver, and the coachman promised to think of all ways to ensure that the two of them could arrive in Kaifeng Fucheng within three days, that is to say, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance have enough time, even if the righteous sergeant knows everything, there is no chance, but Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance expected that the righteous sergeant would not doubt it, after all, the two still have a good prestige in the righteous army, maybe there are other things.

When the carriage left the east gate and headed in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, Niu Jinxing's face turned a little pale.

The expression on Song Xiance's face was very calm.

"Brother Niu, don't worry, you and I have planned for such a long time, there will be no problems, we will definitely be able to arrive in Kaifeng Mansion City smoothly, and see Lord Patrol, as long as the information of Tuoyangkun and others is handed over to Lord Patrol, then you and I will make a contribution, and Lord Patrol will report to the court, and you and I will definitely be rewarded."

Niu Venus stroked his chest and let out a long breath, looking slightly better.

"Brother Song, in fact, I'm mainly worried that I won't be able to see Lord Patrol, then all the plans will be in vain, you and I have names in the imperial court, so when we come to Kaifeng Mansion, we must do everything we can to find Lord Patrol."

Zhang Pu investigated in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days, but he didn't get anything, and he couldn't get anything, and the sergeants sent by Lord Xiong Wencan followed him every step of the way, nominally to protect safety, but in fact, to prevent Zhang Pu from getting more information.

However, the situation on this day is a little different, Zhang Pu is under the escort of the sergeant, is drinking tea at the tea stall on the side of the road, it is already the height of summer, whether it is walking or riding in a sedan chair, it is very hot, after a lot of sweating, you need to replenish water.

Just as he was drinking tea, suddenly two people who looked like scholars rushed through the sergeant's block, and said loudly that there was an important matter to find the patrolman.

Zhang Pu immediately stood up and stopped the sergeant's next move, he looked coldly at the two scholars in front of him, and said word by word that he was a patrol, and he could say anything about it. (To be continued.) )
