Opposite the Shangshu Yamen of the Nanjing Military Department, a magnificent restaurant is particularly eye-catching. Don't look at the Southern Military Department, which has little power, but it is better to do things happily, as long as the money is enough, you can do anything!

Especially the military department, which is in charge of the promotion of military generals, is even more full of cars and horses, and even the business with the restaurant is so good that it seems to be on fire, and if you don't book a seat in advance, there is no place at all.

But today, unfortunately, the restaurant is deserted, with only a few customers. On the third floor, there were two people sitting by the window, one of whom had a cinnabar mole on the corner of his mouth, and a few black hairs on it, which ruined his delicate face.

Holding on to the window lattice, I looked into the street, and there were many more vigilant soldiers on both sides of the road, three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he slammed the window shut in anger.

"It's really incompetent, Wang Zaijin is also in the name of a cadre, he is from the old army, how can he be so cowardly, bow his head to a few thousand soldiers, and sell Xu Ban and let the Yizhou soldiers enter the city to search. Impotent! Rubbish! ”

Opposite him was a rich man in his thirties, holding a fan inscribed by Wen Zhengming in his hand, and said with a smile: "If Wang Zaijin doesn't do this, he will directly start the scene with the Yizhou soldiers and fight hard, it will be strange!" Brother Yan, with all due respect, isn't everyone an idiot in this world! ”

"Alas, what Brother Cai said is also true, I took it for granted. Aren't I afraid, in case ......" He peeked around, lowered his voice, and said, "In case Zhang Ke doesn't die and is rescued, we will be busy in vain!" ”

The rich boy nodded and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yan, to be honest, I strongly disagreed with the assassination of Zhang Ke at the beginning, and I was even more opposed to blaming the imperial court. After all, neither side is easy to mess with, especially Zhang Ke, if he is sober, he will definitely not attack Nanjing. After all, a courtier has trouble with the emperor, unless he wants to usurp the throne. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer! ”

"Cinnabar Mole" was full of sorrow, and said: "Brother Cai, isn't this also a way, in the past, the imperial court opened the city, and we tried to break it down, but as soon as Zhang Ke made a move, he cut off his children and grandchildren, and he was not ready to leave us a little soup!" If we don't get rid of him quickly, I'm afraid we'll all be in different places. ”

The rich boy did not object and took a sip of tea. said: "Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, Zhang Ke is said to be unconscious, he doesn't know life and death, his subordinates are out of control, and they are scrambling to avenge him. ”

"Cinnabar Mole" smiled and said contemptuously: "A group of Qiu Eight Masters, it's just that there is more than enough success and more failure!" ”

"Hahaha. that is, by their hand, evil deeds. The rich boy smiled: "As long as he is charged with rebellion, even if Zhang Ke can survive, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the southeast, and the emperor will definitely drive him back to Liaodong to eat sand." At that time, the city division will have no strong reinforcements. It's still going to fall into our hands, and we can rub it as much as we want. I have already sent Lao Zheng to contact Wu Boyan, most likely this kid has already gone to the road...... Hahaha! ”

……

Zhang Daodao, who "doesn't know life and death", looks like a man is a knife and I am a fish, and lies on the bed with a fearless attitude. It's slippery, and the back is full of bamboo tubes.

Wu Youxing held the bamboo tube in his right hand, and picked up a piece of burning alcohol cotton with tweezers in his left hand. shook twice in the bamboo tube, slammed, and buckled on Zhang Ke's back.

"Oh, lightly!" Zhang Ke grinned in pain.

Pretending to be dead has to pretend to be like a little, Wu Youxing has to stare at the mansion every day, fortunately, there is nothing to do, Zhang Ke asked Doctor Wu to help him check inside and out, as a relief from boredom. But Zhang Ke ignored it, let the divine doctor see a doctor, if he couldn't see the problem, it would be an insult to the divine doctor's means!

Therefore, Wu Youxing was very medical and helped him find a lot of "problems" that were not faults, and the dignified grandfather tasted the taste of falling into the hands of his stepmother.

Wu Youxing said leisurely: "Grandpa Guo, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the wind and snow are accumulating, and the injuries remain in the body. Especially the generals, they only know the ability to practice killing, but they don't know that their bodies are injured, and the more ruthless they practice, the greater the loss of meridians, muscles and bones. The year before last, Grandpa Guo had another battle on Changsheng Island, and you must know that the cold wind from the sea hurts your body the most. At present, it is not good to recuperate and get rid of the root of the disease, but I am afraid that the old man will complain in the future. ”

While speaking, he picked out a larger bamboo tube, banged it, and buckled it around his waist!

"For the sake of the old man's name as a miracle doctor, Grandpa Guo, you should suffer a little guilt!"

This old man is obviously taking revenge on himself for delaying his precious time, if it were someone else, he would have been torn apart a long time ago, but he is a doctor, and he can't afford to offend!

Zhang Ke had to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "I am grateful for Mr. Lao!" ”

Finally sent Wu Youxing away, Fang Yunqing quietly walked in, came to Zhang Ke, took out a letter from his cuff, and shook it.

"My grandfather, you have won the bet again, and those people have moved!"

Zhang Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand to answer the letter, and in a hurry, he pulled the mouth of the can on his back, and he grinned in pain. I finally took it in my hand, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly my face became solemn......

This letter was sent by Wu Boyan, who led his troops straight to Nanjing, intending to make a big fuss, but Wang Zaijin intervened and reached an agreement with Wu Boyan to allow 500 soldiers from the state to enter the city and investigate the assassins. also promised that even if it involves the lieutenant of the town guard, it will not be tolerated.

Wu Boyan had no choice but to agree, and he sent Sun Jiawen into the city to immediately investigate.

first checked the residence of the old eunuch Li Shi, and then found a doctor who diagnosed Li Shi. After careful questioning, the doctors confirmed that there was not enough evidence to prove that the old eunuch was insane, but that he was so insane that he could only be treated according to madness.

Li Shi is likely to be pretending to be crazy and stupid, after all, he made the Suzhou civil uprising, and once he is investigated, he will inevitably die, so it is reasonable to pretend to be crazy and get rid of the crime.

As the investigation deepened, it was discovered that three months before the assassination of Zhang Ke, a group of warriors under the eunuchs were secretly transferred, saying that they were guarding the imperial tomb.

But when I went to the mausoleum of Lao Zhu, I didn't accept this group of people at all.

Recruit familiar people to confront them, only to find out that these people are the assassins of that day!

There is a breakthrough in the case, and it is very likely that Li Shi is a secret son, relying on pretending to be crazy and stupid, deceiving attention, and then planning the assassination of Zhang Ke. And it is very likely that behind Li Shi is Wei Zhongxian, that is, ......

Wang Zaijin was completely insomnia, he knew very well that if it was really the apocalypse, Zhang Ke and his subordinates would definitely not swallow this breath, and they could only tear their faces with the court. Can Da Ming afford such consequences?

The next day, Wang Zaijin directly ordered the arrest of Xu Ban, the eunuch guarding the town, and did not let go of any of the eunuchs and eunuchs under him, and then immediately asked for an order to let the imperial court send personnel to investigate the case thoroughly......

Wang Zaijin tried his best to extinguish the fire, but a group of people were desperately fanning the flames.

"Mr. Wu, what do you still have any doubts, the Gonggong of Pingliao is the master, and the Dog Emperor has a murderous intention, so he borrowed Li Shi's hand to plot against the grandfather of the country. Now that the situation has been revealed, Wang Zaijin has arrested all the eunuchs in a hurry, just to blame them! Wu Zongzhen, what a hero Ping Liaogong is, using a group of eunuchs as scapegoats is too child's play! ”

"Shut up!" Wu Boyan slapped the table angrily and shouted angrily: "Lao Zheng, I'm not a three-year-old child, the bezoar dog treasures in the imperial court have seen it through." But I only have a few thousand soldiers, and I can't provide backup, so what can I do? ”

"Mr. Wu, as long as you are willing, I will be supported by Lao Zheng!"

"Just you?" Wu Boyan asked disdainfully.

"Hehe, that's right, Mr. Wu, in the southeast boundary, there is nothing we can't do!"

"What a big breath, then I want 200,000 stone of grain, 1 million taels of silver, and 100,000 catties of gunpowder, can you do it?"

"Of course!" Lao Zheng patted his chest and smiled: "As long as it takes seven days, it will all be delivered." ”

Wu Boyan suddenly frowned, his eyes were like electricity, staring at the guy in front of him, and sneered: "It's easy for you to say, but how can I believe you, we have only known each other for one day, why are you so dedicated to helping me?" Don't say any nonsense about admiring the prestige of Grandpa Guo, make some money! If you don't convince me, you were sent by the court to fool Lao Tzu! ”

"Hehe, Mr. Wu is quick to talk, then I'll just say, you can't represent the southeast in the eleventh! How can they take advantage of the benefits of the City Ship Division, Mr. Wu, as long as you promise to hand over the City Ship Division to us to operate, the small ones are willing to assist you as the master of the southeast......

"The Cai family, the Yan family, and the Zheng family are all big families in Fujian and Zhejiang!"

Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes shone brightly, the resolute grandfather of the country came back to life!

"Yunqing, what is the situation of these families?" Zhang Ke asked in a cold voice.

Fang Yunqing said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, some eyebrows have been found, and the strength of these three families is quite strong. Before the opening up of the city, ninety percent of the silk smuggling in the Susong area had to pass through their hands. Every year, tolls alone amount to millions of taels. Moreover, I heard that they owned many small islands in the sea, which were turned into nests, among which there were Japanese pirates who often haunted them, and it is estimated that they raised them. ”

"Got it!"

Zhang Ke nodded, the city has not been opened, the big maritime merchants control the ships on the one hand, and raise pirates on the other, gather a large number of outlaws, normal maritime business to do, and at the same time collect tolls, and do some pirate business by the way.

They have come to regard the southeast sea as their hunting ground, and they can do whatever they want. Even the Gao family, the Ye family, and the Xu family, they can rely on the relationship between the DPRK and China to wantonly annex land and set up workshops.

But he couldn't fight at sea, after all, the decree of the imperial court was not as good as wiping paper on the sea. It takes years to raise pirates, and they have to endure exploitation by the big families at sea. Therefore, as soon as the city division was opened, especially with the escort of the sailor, these people decisively took refuge in Zhang Ke's side and became his help.

Originally, the masters of the sea were extremely lost, they could not collect tolls, and the pirates they raised in their hands had become their mortal sin, and they could be caught by Zhang Ke at any time and easily killed!

Seeing that it was useless to confront them head-on, these bold guys came up with the idea of assassination and blamed the hapless Apocalypse...... (To be continued......)
