Chapter 444: Counterinsurgency (1)
With him, a feng shui gentleman, leading the way, it will be easy to find the secret room. Looking at the dark tunnel, Zheng Guobao asked: "There should be no other exit from this tunnel, if the old eunuch takes advantage of the chaos, it will not be good." ”
"Uncle Guo, rest assured, when this secret room is repaired, there is only one entrance, one passage, and no other exit. Zhang Whale is now a turtle in the urn, and he can't escape with his wings. He also kept a great deal of gold and silver in it, which he kept only as a secret storehouse, and this time he had to go into the treasury. ”
Li Rumei said: "This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I am afraid that the casualties will be too great." I think it's smoked. If it doesn't work out, put water in it and flood it to ensure that it comes out. ”
"Not necessarily. Poor Dao is willing to go on a journey and capture the old eunuch slave in front of his uncle. Yu Canghai said in his heart, although there are many masters around Zhang Whale, but with his own cultivation, he can make a few moves, as long as he hands it over, the follow-up army will come down, and it will be useless for any masters. As for Zhang Whale himself, he is just an old eunuch, and he is afraid of what he will do.
It didn't take long for Yu Canghai to go down, only to hear a miserable scream, and then a flower in front of everyone's eyes, and something was thrown up from below. Several family members did not dare to slack off and stab with their guns, but they were led back two steps before they could stand firmly. At this time, everyone saw clearly that it was Yu Canghai who was thrown out. He was shot twice, so naturally he was not alive. Upon closer examination, it was discovered that the ribs on his chest were shattered, and he had been beaten to death by heavy hands before he was thrown up.
"Grandpa Zhang, it's not ambiguous. The hands and feet were clean and neat, but Zheng was out of sight. ”
I only heard Zhang Whale's voice from the ground, "Uncle Guo, you're polite." The dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden in the east factory. Masters like clouds. If you compare the strength of your subordinates' martial arts alone, the people of my Dongchang may not be defeated by your Jinyi Guard. When people in Beijing talk about who the first master of Dongchang is, they often only say that they are the traitor who Zhu Quanzhong, but according to my father, the first master of Dongchang is myself. ”
"Between the gestures of his hand, he killed the former head of Qingcheng. If it is said that it is the first person in Dongchang, it is worthy of the name. It's just Grandpa Zhang, does this work? You're gone now. The rebellion and the separation. The four King Kongs of the East Factory have all defected, do you think this small cellar for storing vegetables can protect you? ”
There was silence underground for a long time, and Zhang Whale's voice came out again: "I was still thinking about it. In the end, who is the ghost in the East Factory. Unexpectedly. The people around me are all internal ghosts. A group of people who eat bowls of noodles and turn over the bottom of the bowl, do they really think that traitors can be reused? Betrayal of the Lord is ungrateful. Heaven will punish you! ”
"Grandpa Zhang, don't talk about those useless ones. If you don't rebel, these people will naturally be loyal to you, but if you want to fight against the imperial court, these people will be your fateful Hades, which is the most normal. Now whether you come out on your own or whether I drown it with smoke and water, you make your own decision. ”
After another moment, I saw Zhang Whale wearing a python robe and a jade belt across his waist, walking out of the cellar steadily. A few family members just wanted to go over and tie him up, but Zhang Whale said, "Wait." Uncle Guo, I am also a person on the scene, and I know the rules. In these years, whoever is high in martial arts is useless. I don't want you people to stick a gun into a toad or a random shot into a sieve, so I'm not going to resist. But let's talk a few words, can it be successful? ”
"Come on, bring a chair for Grandpa Zhang. Father-in-law Zhang and I haven't talked for a long time, and we just happened to talk about it today. ”
The lords have already instructed those Liaodong families to start taking over the Dongchang industry, especially the warehouses that have not been burned down, and the things in them are all money. As long as they are received now, as soon as they turn their heads and say that they were destroyed in the fire attack of the East Factory, who can prove that they exist? The nobles went to grab things, and the people of the Li family in Liaodong also moved forward bravely, not falling behind, and now they are fast and slow, and no one can let go of this good opportunity. On Zhang Jing's side, there were only Zheng Guobao, Ning Zhongze, and hundreds of border soldiers.
"Grandpa Zhang, you are a smart person, you don't need to beat the drum hard. It should be understood that if you want to run out with your own kung fu, you will swear to ascend to the sky. If you want to talk well here, I'll be with you. If you want to use force, there is nothing cheap. ”
Zhang Whale smiled bitterly, "Uncle Guo, I don't need your constant reminder, I know better than anyone else." Kung fu? This thing is not valuable, good kung fu is nothing more than the life of a nurse, practicing these two crop styles, just to strengthen the body and protect the heavenly family, but I didn't expect it to come to this point. The world is impermanent. At the beginning, I only wanted to dominate in front of the heavenly family and get the power of the factory and the guard. I think what a powerful faction it was when Feng Lao was here. Yifa is a lieutenant official, and he eats under his old man, who doesn't want to learn from him? It's a pity, I didn't expect that in the end, I was worse than him, and I had no hope of growing vegetables. ”
"Guarding the Heavenly Family? Protecting the heavenly family relies on loyalty, not kung fu. As long as you are loyal enough to the heavenly family, you don't have to have any martial arts, and you don't have any martial arts. What the civil officials have to do is to serve the heavenly family, think about what the heavenly family thinks, and do what the heavenly family wants to do. In this regard, our factory guards are the same. Back then, Old Man Feng had a good saying, Dongchang is a temple, and the Bodhisattva in it is the Son of Heaven. The people of Dongchang don't want to be honest and honest, and there is no need to be upright and have a clear conscience. As long as they burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva with peace of mind, and do what the Bodhisattva tells them, they are good subordinates. I heard this from the old man in the guard, and it is also the rule of conduct since I joined the guard, but Mr. Zhang, you haven't done it. You actually want to bring down this Bodhisattva and replace it with the Bodhisattva you want, if you don't die, who will die? ”
"Uncle Guo said it well. The old slave also thought of this sentence when he was in the underground palace. It's a pity that when I think about it, it's too late to rush. At the beginning, I was just not satisfied with being ridden on the head, and I was not satisfied with you fighting with me. I always think, when Old Man Feng was there, how was Liu Shouyou, the handsome Jinyi Ti? He is still a son of Wenchen, his grandfather has been a secretary of the Ministry of War, and his father is also an official in the Ministry of Rites. But when I saw that Gonggong Feng was far away, I had to kneel down and kowtow to say hello, and when it came to you, I would fight against me, and I also had the upper hand in Dongchang, I was not convinced. Zheng Niangniang is a clever woman, and she is satisfied with coaxing the heavenly family, and I can't fool her. In the future, if she gains power, I will not be able to do many things. Sister Wang Xi's woman has a big temper, but she has a stupid brain and is so confused. She is not popular, she has few henchmen in the palace, she doesn't trust me, she has no one to trust, and she thinks that joining her is the right way. Unexpectedly, after fighting back and forth, I still lost cleanly. Banshu misunderstood me, and the nine-headed thief misunderstood me. ”
"They can't be blamed for that. Grandpa Zhang, you yourself are too dissatisfied. Thousands of miles for officials, for food and clothing. Make some money, I can understand. To achieve the position of the overseer of the East Factory, if you don't get more than 100,000 silver for yourself a year, you will be sorry for this identity. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. We are the henchmen of the Heavenly Family, are we not as good as local officials close to the people? But in terms of means, privately making ordnance and selling it to female straight people is too inferior. To contribute to the salt merchants, to wave the flag and shout for the people of Banzhou, it is even more derelict in duty, not to mention the constitutional monarchy. Why don't you want to think about it, if what Long Xiang said is really done, is there still a place for you and me? ”
"Long Xiang promised that if this can be done, a social security bureau will be set up, and I am the director. It's the same treatment. Our family is a eunuch, so I didn't think about it so much. Whether it's noble or brocade, if it's gone, it has nothing to do with me. It's just that King Lu can really succeed to the unification, and I will have the merit of supporting it, and maybe I will be able to get a high position in the future. Fame and fortune are charming, and our bet is a complete mistake. I don't ask you for anything else now, and we don't have this friendship, I just ask you to open up to my family. I have a nephew, and I wanted him to marry Wu Qingbo and keep him rich. Later, the daughter of Wu Qingbo's family returned to your brother, my nephew, can you leave a life and send it to a distant miasma, it is also a little incense of my Zhang family. ”
Zheng Guobao nodded, "Don't worry, I will answer you for this." We are all factory guards, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and I can't do it all. ”
Zhang Whale shook his head and said, "It's late, it's late." If our family had understood this truth earlier, maybe we would still be friends now. He got up, shook his head, and put his arm behind his back, "Come on." Tie it up. But take off this robe first, this is still a python robe rewarded by the heavenly family, don't break it, it's a thought. Let the younger generations of Dongchang overseers see what will happen if they don't keep their duties. (To be continued......)
