Chapter 62: The backer finds the door
Hearing that Nanzhen Fusi Zhen Fu Xiao Lang arrived in Ulzhou, Fang Datong was so frightened that he climbed down from the bare body of the little concubine, and rushed all the way from the west of the city to the Jinyi Guard Yamen in the east of the city.
Xiao Lang was angry when he saw Fang Datong's disheveled appearance, and after some reprimand, he informed Fang Datong of his intentions; Fang Datong could stuff a big tea bowl with his mouth open, and his boss could come up with such an idea, which was something he could never have imagined in his life.
"Fang Baihu, this time you need to help me get this matter done, if it's done, you will be able to follow the light, if you don't do it properly, your hundred households will come to an end; Being in Ulzhou, you have nothing to do for such a big event, and Commander Mu is about to order your head to be cut off immediately, if it weren't for the town's protection, would you still have the right to stand and talk at this moment? ”
Fang Datong's legs were weak, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, thanking the Lord for saving him, and he also knew that this time he was indeed not shrewd enough, and the most beneficial Jinyiwei had nothing to do with the victory in Ulzhou, which was really unreasonable; Secretly, Fang Datong also scolded Jiang Bin and Song Nan many times, blaming these two for not giving him a letter beforehand, knowing that Lu Dao had such a big action, he only needed to take someone to follow behind and do nothing, and he could add a stroke to the credit book afterwards; Because of this, Fang Datong didn't visit after Song Nan was injured, because the anger in his heart did not disappear.
Xiao Lang inquired in detail about the background of Song Nan and Jiang Bin, as well as how Song Nan joined the army and other things, Fang Datong is not an idiot, the three of them jointly framed Wang Dan naturally can't be said, but Song Nan's entry into the army and Jiang Bin's promotion is indeed illegal, Fang Datong avoided the important and light, except for what he couldn't say, all the rest of the bamboo tubes poured beans.
Xiao Lang had a bottom in his heart, and immediately asked Fang Datong to lead the way to Jiang Bin's house for a secret business.
The third watch has passed, the city is silent, Jiang Bin has been asleep for a long time, but outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Bin was awakened by the sound of Suosuo, Jiang Bin quietly got up and came out of the door to the main house, looked into the courtyard through the crack in the door, and was suddenly frightened.
But seeing that the courtyard was brightly lit, inside and outside the courtyard gate, at the four corners of the wall, there were red-clothed Ti riding across the sword, and under the light of the torches, all of them had gloomy faces, serious expressions, and a murderous aura.
Jiang Bin's heart was cold, and he quickly thought about why the Jinyi Guard would go out in the middle of the night to block his house, thinking about it, there was only one explanation, that is, Wang Dan's matter.
Jiang Bin scolded angrily in his heart, knowing that it was difficult to escape today, if he was arrested because of this matter, he would not escape death; So he hurriedly went into the room to wake up his wife, ordered her and her four sons to hide under the bed and not come out, and pulled out the waist knife hanging on the wall. When I come out, I have important matters to consult with you. ”
Jiang Bin scolded angrily, thinking: Sure enough, Fang Datong sold himself on this dog day, and he had to cut down this dog thief first.
Someone began to bang on the door of the house, Jiang Bin understood that it was not a way to hide, so he immediately walked to the door and opened the door with a bang, and shouted angrily: "Dogs, Lao Tzu fought with you." ”
Jiang Bin was wearing underwear with his chest open, the black hair on his chest was exposed, and he rushed over as soon as he opened the door with a knife in his hand, a desperate posture made everyone in the courtyard confused for a while, but it was just a moment of stunned, the brocade guards reacted quickly, and more than a dozen people quickly rushed up to block Jiang Bin's way and surrounded him.
"Fang Datong on the dog day, Lao Tzu knows that you are not a good thing, don't worry, Lao Tzu will be the first to pull you into the water." Jiang Bin scolded angrily.
Fang Datong jumped to his feet in a hurry, even with a smile on his face, and shouted in his mouth: "Jiang Yanshi, my Lord Fu Si Xiao of Jinyi Weinan Town came from the capital to see you, don't misunderstand." ”
Jiang Bin was stunned and said, "Nanzhen Fusi? ”
Fang Datong said: "Yes, Lord Xiao traveled thousands of miles and came to see you without even taking a sip of tea, why did you come out to greet you with a knife?" Let's treat us as strongmen. ”
Behind Fang Datong, Xiao Lang, who was standing with his back, turned around, ripped off the black cloak that wrapped his head around the wind and covered his face, and said with a smile: "Jiang Yanshi, I have been looking up for a long time, Xiao Lang, the official Jinyi Weinan Town, came to visit late at night and bothered me." ”
Jiang Bin hurriedly let go, threw the knife on the ground, and stammered back: "This ...... This is rude, I never dreamed that it was Lord Xiao who came to visit, this ...... This ......"
Xiao Lang smiled slightly and said: "Jiang Yan is worthy of being a military general, and he carries a blade when he goes out to greet guests, but this is the first time I have seen this official, and I have seen it for a long time." ”
Jiang Bin hurriedly said: "Forgive sins, forgive sins, I thought it was...... It's the strongman who is coming, there are too many wars, and some overreact, where are the strongmen in this city, laughing and laughing. ”
Xiao Lang was noncommittal, and said with a dry smile: "Can you enter your mansion to talk, although the moon stars outside are warm on a warm spring night, it doesn't seem to be suitable for talking." ”
Jiang Bin hurriedly said: "Please, please." ”
Jiang Bin led Xiao Lang and Fang Datong into the house, and saw that a dry of red-clothed horsemen were still guarding the courtyard, and then he realized that these people were all protecting him from the left near when he went out, and he thought that he was blocking his yard and preventing himself from escaping, but he didn't know that this was the kind of pomp and circumstance.
Mrs. Jiang, who was half frightened, was invited out from under the bed, and quickly boiled tea for everyone with her hands and feet, Jiang Bin also changed his clothes and came out, and the guests and hosts sat down.
After a false alarm, Jiang Bin was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "Xiao Zhen didn't come to Ulzhou to make a prophet, I am also a little prepared, you see, the big water washed the Dragon King Temple, and almost made a joke." ”
Xiao Lang said slowly: "I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to inform him, and Fang Baihu just learned that this town had arrived." ”
Jiang Bin sighed and said, "Lord Xiao came to see me in the middle of the night, but is there anything urgent that requires Jiang's service?" But please speak, Jiang did his best. ”
Xiao Lang nodded slightly and said: "I don't have anything to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it's really abrupt to come to visit in the middle of the night, but there is no way in this town, I came to Ulzhou to see Jiang Yan on the order of Lord Mu." ”
Jiang Bin was stunned and said, "Lord Mu? Which Lord Mu? ”
Xiao Lang said: "How many other Mu masters are there in this dynasty?" It's my brocade guard, Yamen Mou, commanding. ”
Jiang Bin was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "You mean...... Lord Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard? ”
Xiao Lang nodded and said, "And that?" ”
Jiang Bin's brain buzzed, I don't know if he was excited or afraid, the name Mu Bin, who in the Ming Dynasty didn't know the way? Holding the brocade guard yamen with tens of thousands of horsemen, the emperor's absolute henchman, holding the life and death of thousands of people, he has to carry the people to soar and flourish, and the people he dislikes are wiped out; The fact that the military officials in the world hated, feared, and wanted to make friends with them actually sent someone to visit him today sounded like a dream.
"Commander Mou...... What are the commands? Jiang Bin's throat trembled a little, but he didn't feel ashamed at all, who didn't tremble when he heard this name?
Xiao Lang smiled and said, "Sit down and talk, Jiang Yanshi, your good days are coming." ”
Xiao Lang took out a letter from his underwear, put it in front of Jiang Bin and said, "Commander Mu personally wrote a letter to you, Jiang Yan is so face-saving, Commander Mu rarely writes letters to people." ”
Jiang Bin picked up the letter respectfully with trembling hands, and it took him a long time to tear open the cover, pull out a piece of paper full of large characters, and start reading.
"Jiang Yanshi: Xiao Lang, the Fusi of the South Town of the Committee, is discussing with you about this matter, if you feel that this matter can be dealt with, I remember your feelings, if you feel that it can't be done, you don't have to force it, I won't remember this matter, don't worry, don't be reluctant! Mu Bin. ”
In just a few words, a few lines, the words are shallow, and the handwriting is sloppy, it can be seen that Mu Bin is a martial artist, and the writing is like a pile of grass, which is not good-looking at all, but the edge revealed between the lines makes Jiang Bin sweat on his back.
'If you feel that this matter can be done, I remember your feelings, and if you feel that it cannot be done, you don't have to force it, I will not remember it. The literal meaning is naturally that everything is up to Jiang Bin's own decision, but how can Jiang Bin not know what it means to be reluctant, and what it means to 'I won't remember this', this is completely a naked threat.
Jiang Bin carefully looked at the seal stamp below, the big seal of the commander of the Jinyi Guard was stamped on it, there would definitely be no fake, he hurriedly reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked in a dumb voice: "Please let my lord say clearly, when do you need my Jiang Mou's help." ”
Xiao Lang stretched out his hand and took Mu Bin's letter and asked, "What is said in the letter, is Jiang Yan's affairs clear?" ”
Jiang Bin said: "Every word is imprinted in my heart. ”
Xiao Lang said: "Okay." Reaching out and lighting the letterhead and the envelope on the candle flame, and watching it turn to ashes, he raised his head and said, "Here's the thing......"
