Chapter 12: Someone from the Palace

This year is the first year that Nurhachi has stood on his own, and there are still several years before Mao Wenlong leads the Dongjiang Army to manage Phi Dao and contain the Houjin military force, and he is indeed only a small officer near Liaoyang.

But at this moment, Zheng Haizhu didn't have time to be surprised that the Zheng family had a relationship with Mao Wenlong.

She was even more worried that if Mao Wenlong mentioned the old story of his brother Zheng Hailin's life, would he be able to use the accumulation of information in the past two years to deal with the past.

Han Ximeng had already made up his mind, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Since the general is the old friend of the Zheng family, and said that he was going to go to the Nanhuiwei Office in Songjiang Mansion to run an errand, then we will go back to Songjiang with Mr. Huang with the general." Mr. Huang, what do you think? ”

In her last sentence, she asked Huang Zunsu.

Huang Zun also understood that although the two women were smart and brave, after all, it was taboo to walk alone with a rough martial artist like this, and it was a lot more appropriate to have half of his Songjiang parents and officials there.

When the Ming Dynasty arrived, it was already a civilian military system, and civil officials could put their nostrils at the generals, Huang Zun Suxin was born as a Jinshi, and he had been awarded an official, and his status was far above the small garrison of Mao Wenlong, a border town.

But after Huang Zunsu learned of Mao Wenlong's identity, he was not arrogant, and he was still humble at the moment: "We can go with General Mao, so we will naturally feel more relieved to go to Songjiang." There is General Law. ”

Mao Wenlong returned the salute lightly, and his heart fluctuated slightly.

He was conceited and old in the rivers and lakes, and he had already seen that the inspection department and the bandit den were wearing a pair of pants, and he was quite confident in fishing out the woman surnamed Zheng from the bandits' nest.

But now the situation has changed dramatically.

The bandit leader was ambushed, and there were other civil officials and military generals in the imperial court.

The little white face surnamed Ma is still from the Sichuan army.

Well, the little white face is actually not white.

There was a murderous aura on his face, but he said to the little lady surnamed Zheng to thank him for saving his life and reporting in the future.

What's the matter, this is mixed up with friendship?

What's the matter, what Lao Tzu wants to do to the Zheng woman in the future is also for the sake of the soldiers and civilians in the border town, with a clear conscience.

When Mao Wenlong thought of this, his plan had been decided, and the horizontal flesh under his cheekbones was loosened.

He turned his head to see the stable on the side, and said to Ma Xianglin: "Brother Xian, there is a carriage in the village, let Huang Daguan and them sit, and personally drive to escort them." ”

……

After the carriage and horses of Mao Wenlong and his entourage were gone, Ma Xianglin suddenly felt the fatigue after the exuberance was released.

"Cut off Qiu Wanliang's head, pickle it in lime, and bring it back to the stone stone to pay tribute to his father." He instructed his subordinates.

He also said to the family who had been following him for more than half a year: "Go and let the third lady prepare the things, and when Tsui's husband's people see our signal, they will arrive with a stick of incense." ”

"Yes."

After a short time, the family led a young woman in her early twenties to Ma Xianglin.

"Did the third lady clean up the backyard?" Ma Xianglin sat on the stone pier, squinting at the busy scene of the Sichuan soldiers counting the prisoners and collecting the families of the bandits, and asked the woman in an indifferent tone.

The woman bent her eyebrows and almond eyes, charming and beautiful, with a soft and graceful attitude.

His fair cheeks and hands were stained with blood, which was shocking.

The woman glanced at Ma Xianglin, who was as arrogant as she always was, and pouted disdainfully: "General Ma doesn't need to call me the third lady anymore, I'm just a slave who is worthy of the concubine, just call me amber." As for Qiu Wanliang's backyard, the two ladies in front, and Lao Qiu's blood and bones, I didn't leave any of them, including the one I and Lao Qiu gave birth to. ”

When Ma Xianglin heard the last half of the sentence, he set his eyes on her face.

In the eyes of others, General Ma, who has seen a lot of flesh-and-blood scenes, seems to be unable to help but express his surprise to the woman: When you talk about killing your doll less than a year old, your tone is not unusual?

Amber turned her head to see that Qiu Wanliang's head was cut off by the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Ma for his revenge." ”

Ma Xianglin didn't pay attention to her anymore, leaned less, stood up suddenly, and walked in the direction of the village.

Two brocade-clothed guards rode and escorted one person and one horse into the bandit village.

The man was also only in his twenties, wearing a black hat, a white beard, dressed in crimson trolling, and a snow-white collar embroidered with unicorn patterns on both sides.

Ma Xianglin greeted him, stood in front of the man's horse, and arched his hand: "Gonggong Hu." ”

Seeing that Ma Xianglin didn't mean to reach out to him, the eunuch Hu Fang snorted faintly in his throat, turned over and dismounted.

Seeing that Ma Xianglin didn't kneel down again, his eyes flashed, and he pinched his unfair and motherly voice and teased: "Yo, General Pony thinks that this underground blood is flowing and he is afraid of dirty robes?" ”

Ma Xianglin still had his knees straight, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There was indeed a fierce battle last night, and the brothers have not yet cleaned up, which stained the eyes of my father-in-law." ”

Hu Fang glanced at him: "General Pony thinks too highly of our family, our family is just running errands for the concubine and Cui's husband, how can we be so particular." ”

With that, he walked straight up to Amber, and his expression changed from gloomy to pity in an instant.

"Amber, you have made a great contribution this time, and you have also suffered a great grievance, and the concubine and godfather are worried about you."

Amber bowed her knees, took off a small burden from her shoulders expressionlessly, held it with both hands and handed it to Hu Fang, and said, "Thank you for your concern and Husband Cui." This is Qiu Wanliang's secret account, I have checked, 50 horses of brocade, more than 300 horses of ramie and lero, more than 800 horses of silk, and some of the silver exchanged for stolen goods after selling them was stored in several money houses in the six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and some of them were shipped to Guangfu. The money deeds of Jiangnan are all here, and the ones in Guangfu, I have not yet found, but I have only heard that it is close to the place occupied by the Francois (referring to the Portuguese). ”

Amber was originally a secret stake raised by Concubine Zheng Guifei outside the palace, and was directly assigned by the great eunuch Cui's husband, so when reporting the account, there was no slightest despication towards Hu Fang, the righteous son of Cui's husband, and he called himself "I".

Hu Fang stared at her.

Even though her temples were chaotic and her face was covered with blood, this embarrassed state could not hide her peony-like appearance.

The young eunuch's heart fluttered for a moment, and when he went to pick up the burden in her hand, he pretended to hold her hand unintentionally.

Amber retracted her palms as if she had been pricked by a needle, and her burden fell to the ground.

Ma Xianglin, who was on the side, stepped forward, picked up the burden and patted it, handed it to Hu Fang and said, "Gonggong Hu put it away, everything next to it is not as important as this burden." ”

Hu Fang smiled calmly, touched his beardless chin, and asked, "By the way, the Jinyi Wei brothers who were ambushed nearby told our family that a small group of soldiers came to the village at dawn, but when they left, there was an extra carriage. Who is it? ”

"It was a border general in Liaodong, named Mao Wenlong, and the Ministry of War sent him to Nanzhili and Zhejiang to negotiate some firearms matters. didn't want to meet the son of the deceased to report to the official for help, so he came over and took away the sister of the deceased who was abducted by Qiu Wanliang, and a Songjiang Mansion magistrate who was kidnapped by Qiu Wanliang. ”

"Mao Wenlong? Haven't heard of it. What is the name of the pusher? Why was he robbed? ”

Ma Xianglin said: "His name is Huang Zunsu, a new science and technology jinshi this year, because he accused Shen Tonghe, a native of Wujiang, for cheating, Shen's father asked Qiu Wanliang to kidnap him. ”

"Huang Zunsu ......" Hu Fang's face changed, "It's this person, although he is in the top three, but because of the complaint, the saint also paid attention to him, the saint read this person's article, and wanted to keep him in Beijing, but when he heard that he was from the Donglin school, he bombarded Nanzhili." General Pony, it's a pity that our family is one step late, otherwise, the Sprinkle family will order someone to pass a message to you and kill this Huang Zunsu while the chaos is in chaos! ”
