Chapter 319: The Spirit of the Jungle (19)
"Since you are also a person who can understand people's words, then the old man can save some lip service. You remember well, the old man is a Ming brocade guard from the sixth grade, because of the merit reward wearing a bullfighting suit, can be in the big inner saber walking of the trial hundred households Xu Xuzheng! On that day, the old man was ordered by the commander to search for the old relatives and friends of Gao Panlong of the Donglin Party in the capital. Who knows......"
Although the bewildered sergeant did not know the origin of the above list of official assignments, I believe that this will make all the readers who have read this far let out a 'ah' exclamation.
If nothing else, just because this green-robed guest who could subdue a huge priest to the ground with just a whisk of dust, actually claimed to be a person from the previous Ming Dynasty (1626)!
If what this man said is true, he is also an old guy who has lived for almost two hundred years......
Gossip, but said that Xu Xuzheng (Qingpaoke), who claimed to be a hundred households in Jinyiwei, was in front of the unknown and confused sergeant, with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance with a slight hint of amazement, and recalled thoughtfully.
Gao Panlong knew that he would have no physiology, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water in the city of Wuxi. However, Natian Ergeng wanted to fight for merit in front of the nine thousand years old (Wei Zhongxian), so he re-established the prison in Beijing, urging us to search for the Donglin party everywhere. ”
On that day, Xu Xuzheng was ordered by Tian Ergeng, the commander of Jinyiwei, to lead a team out to investigate and arrest the Donglin Party members who were still in the Beijing Division.
However, unlike Tian Ergeng, who was eager to hold Wei Zhongxian's thick legs to the top position, Xu Xuzheng's desire for fame was much weaker when he tried a hundred households with six grades.
Since childhood, this person has been obsessed with the magic of the gods and goddesses that have been handed down from ancient times, and often fantasizes that he can also fly to the sky one day.
Therefore, in the matter of searching for the Donglin Party, Xu Xuzheng has always adopted a strategy of dealing with things and getting by, and often led people to go to a certain house with great fanfare to search for it.
Once the owner of the house quietly handed over the benefits, then he took all his men, clenched his fists and turned his head and left.
In short, Xu Xuzheng has always used the banner of Jinyiwei to search for the elixir recipes that the official eunuchs carefully collected in the library at home...... As for the grievances between Jiuqiansui and the Donglin Party, what does it have to do with Xu?
On this day, Xu Xuzheng took two Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi (from Qipin) and smashed open the door of He Shu's house, the secretary of the Xiutun Yuan of the Ministry of War (Xiutun Yuan, the clerk in charge of reporting and approving affairs such as garrison tuntian or building barracks and buildings in a certain place).
He Shu was originally a scribe of an ordinary literary class under the Ministry of War, and it was only because he recently paid two hundred taels of silver to his superiors that he was able to be transferred from other provinces to Beijing.
Originally, a sesame mung bean petty official like He Shu, who had no dealings with the Donglin Party and was not a big family in Beijing (it was impossible to collect Danfang at home), could not enter Xu Xuzheng's eyes...... But who made you rich?
Since you have the money to honor the squire of the military department, you might as well let me Xu Xuzheng follow suit!
In this way, Xu Xuzheng took two henchmen who still knew the roots, and swaggered to knock on the door of He Shu's house.
This brocade guard is directly under the king, and Xu Xuzheng's grade is half a level higher than He Shu, how can this not make the latter open the courtyard door and take Xu Xuzheng and his party into the house in fear?
Who knew that when He Shu heard Xu Xuzheng's intention, he actually wanted to blackmail the two of them for spending money, and the sneer on his face that was originally forced to pile up disappeared as if it was blown by a strong wind.
Seeing that the other party's face had changed, Xu Xuzheng sank his face and snorted viciously from his nostrils.
It's not that He Shu really has the courage not to bribe Jinyiwei, but that a sesame petty official like him doesn't have much savings.
The previous activities have used up most of the accumulated eunuch bags over the years, and it is really not much money to give now.
Holding his arms and hesitating for a long time, He Shu stomped his feet heavily, and after turning around and returning to the room, he returned again with a fluttering money bag.
Xu Xuzheng, who found that He Shu had no intention of giving heavy bribes, looked at the two henchmen behind him with a cold face: "Please take Sister-in-law He and a few people in the back house to watch tea outside, so that we don't have any more behaviors later." ”
Seeing that Xu Xuzheng was about to turn his face and make trouble, He Shu's face changed, and he trembled and made amends to the former.
However, if this Xu Xuzheng is the kind of kind-hearted person who will soften his heart when he sees others make amends, how can he be worthy of the bullfighting suit of the brocade guard on his body?
Seeing that Xu Xuzheng in front of him did not say anything to stop him, the two little flag officers of the brocade guard who had long been unable to hold back their ferocity suddenly rolled up their shirts and sleeves, picked up the sheath with the waist knife, and rushed into the He family's back house with a shout, and banged on the ping-pong!
Realizing that the Jinyi guard surnamed Xu in front of him was determined to make trouble, He Shu turned his head angrily and shouted in the direction of the back house, and the servant woman took the family to the front hall.
I think that He Shu is just a six-grade book, a small official as big as a sesame seed, how many people can support his own back house?
Therefore, in less than a moment, the family members of the back house of He Mansion had gathered outside the corridor of the front hall, even if the number was added, it was only He Shu's wife He Shi, who was waiting for her mother-in-law Feng Ma and a domestic maid named Sujuan in He's room at home.
If the He family is really such a rich and arrogant master, how can they not raise a dozen maids and wives in the back house to serve and take care of their own food and daily life?
Look at the shabby appearance of only two or three people in the back house of He Mansion, no matter how much you try to pick it up, it will be in vain...... This kid has no money in his waist!
Seeing his subordinate Xiaoqi shaking his head lightly at himself with a disappointed face, Xu Xuzheng suddenly complained in his heart: "I thought that this He family had some oil and water to fish, but who knew that it was a deflated shrimp toad that couldn't hold urine, but where did he find the silver to go back to the field to command them?" ”
As the saying goes, there is no fool who can crawl around in officialdom.
When He Shu found that Xu Xuzheng was in a daze with an embarrassed face towards his family members in the back house, only this person only groaned slightly, and suddenly understood: "Dare to love the brocade in front of him, and the hundred households in the brocade clothes are also holding chicken feathers as arrows, and they are specially coming to beat people in the autumn wind!" This man doesn't have the handle of our crimes, so he doesn't dare to do anything to us; Besides, if this matter gets big today, it will be difficult for him to turn around and do it in front of his boss! ”
Thinking of this, He Shu deliberately turned his face and bowed his hand to Xu Xuzheng without being humble or arrogant: "As the official can see, all the family members in He's room have been counted here, but I don't know if Xu Ye has anything else to say in public?" ”
That Xu Xuzheng was the first time that he was robbed of white by someone like this, and he raised his voice and said: "Okay, you He Shu, I colluded with Donglin against the party in private before, and did a good thing together, do you really know anything about Xu?!" ”
Who knew that as soon as he blurted out these words, a sudden change of collapse of the sky and the earth suddenly appeared.
I saw that the hall ten steps away shook slightly before and after, and then turned into a pile of broken bricks and tiles, and smashed at Xu Xuzheng with his head and face!
