At the beginning of the day, the scorching sun was in the sky, and everyone couldn't see Ma Xianglin's face clearly.

However, the general's outfit with wide shoulders and wide robes, the white-pole silver spear with a hook and sickle, and the "Xianglin" blurted out by Zheng Haizhu still made the well-informed natives of the capital like Qin Fang, the tooth man, quickly understand the identity of the comer, and discuss it noisily and earnestly.

Zhu Changluo's Guan Zhuang also changed color, and said to Wei Zhongxian beside him: "Father-in-law, it should be Ma Xianglin, who led the Sichuan army, the son of Qin Liangyu, the stone lady Tusi." ”

The beard on Wei Zhongxian's chin trembled: "I know, it's still the son-in-law of the military department." ”

He squinted and pretended to be silent, and he was really surprised.

Ma Xianglin had a meritorious role in fighting Tartars two years ago, and his father-in-law Zhang Quan did not stand in any party of Qichu, Zhejiang, and Donglin in the court, so Long Live Lord fell in love with this southern barbarian general and allowed him to guard the Shanhaiguan, which is said to be very capable of training, much stronger than those wastes in Beijing.

Wei Zhongxian's gaze moved with Zheng Haizhu, and he muttered to himself, it turned out that this woman who dared to twist the tiger's whiskers was really not an idle person.

Just now her slave said that she had been to Liaodong? It seems that he is not bragging, no wonder he is familiar with the surname Ma.

When he saw the person standing side by side with Ma Xianglin, Wei Zhongxian even let out a low "ouch", and also slapped his horse forward, arching his hand and saying: "Our family has seen General Ma and Admiral Cui. ”

The "Admiral Cui" recognized by Wei Zhongxian was Cui Wenjing, the commander of the Beijing City Patrol Battalion, who was the commander of this battalion.

At this time, the security and security forces of the huge Beijing are complicated.

In addition to the Gyeonggi Battalion and the Daenai Forbidden Army, there are also the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who patrol the city, the Nine Gates Admiral who is served by the internal supervisor, the factory guards personally controlled by the emperor and the internal supervisor, and the patrol battalion with the rank of general and staff general like the battalion soldiers.

Since the establishment of the patrol camp in the Chenghua period, it is mainly responsible for arresting thieves and quelling small people's unrest.

However, after Cui Wenjing became the commander of the patrol camp, the situation was very different.

Because Cui Wenjing's brother is Cui Wensheng, one of the chief eunuchs and celebrant of Zheng Guifei.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was still far from being 9,000 years old, was most afraid of two people in the inner court, one was Wang An, the companion of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, and the other was Cui Wensheng, a close confidant of Concubine Zheng.

Wang An ranked first in the Forbidden City in terms of qualifications and knowledge, and it was rare to be the steward eunuch of the East Palace, and he was also recognized by Emperor Wanli, who had always hated the crown prince. Cui Wensheng not only has the background of Concubine Zheng Guifei, but also acts ruthlessly. In comparison, Wei Zhongxian is more afraid of Cui Wensheng.

Cui Wenjing, who is completely different from his brother's gloomy and cold appearance, returned the salute to Wei Zhongxian with a haha: "Father-in-law Wei, what kind of wind is blowing today, blowing all three of us to the Tongxian wharf." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked back at the guards of the East Factory, and said to himself with a smile: "How dare these children of the East Factory brought by Wei dare to be compared with Admiral Cui and General Mao Xia. ”

Wei Zhongxian has never read a book, and he wants to learn the language of a scholar, and it is common to pronounce other words, such as pronouncing "under the command" as "under the hair".

Cui Wenjing hid his contempt and smiled: "Wei Daban is too humble." Well, the love is deep, the responsibility is keen, Cui also watched the dolls in the patrol camp was not pleasing to the eye, and asked the military department several times before asking General Ma to come over in person and temper them. ”

Zheng Haizhu, who was standing underground on the side, told Ma Xianglin what was going on, and on the other hand, he was distracted by the greetings between Cui and Wei.

Listening to the words "Gonggong Wei" in Cui Wenjing's mouth first, she was still speculating whether it was the Wei Dynasty or Wei Zhongxian, and when she heard the word "big companion" at this moment, she was sure that it was Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian moved closer to Cui Wenjing's horse head and nodded in compliment: "How else to say that Long Live Lord will use people!" The patrol camp was brought to Brother Cui, and there was also a bird matter in the imperial history of the patrol city. Alas, our own brothers, speak straighter, how much can Beijing City do well, and the imperial history is mixed, and it will be sparse. ”

Wei Zhongxian said, aiming at Ma Xianglin.

Ma Xianglin was leaning down his upper body, and after talking to Zheng Haizhu, after a few breaths, a shuttle's gaze changed, and it was a world of difference from Cui Wenjing, who was gentle and warm.

The East Palace Guan Zhuang was suddenly shocked by Ma Xianglin's side general's murderous aura, just like a soil dog meeting a wild wolf, he was trembling, subconsciously shrunk his shoulders, and arched his hand: "General, general, hello to general." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at the nest of Guan Zhuang, scolded in his heart, and immediately realized that his opportunity to lose his burden had come, what a damn thing, I have to thank the female tiger-like mother-in-law named Zheng Haizhu in front of him.

Wei Zhongxian didn't care about the ugly face, and grinned at Ma Xianglin and Zheng Haizhu: "It turns out that the two of you are old people. Mrs. Zheng, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, Wei was abrupt, and Mrs. is not strange. ”

Ma Xianglin was still staring at Wei Zhongxian coldly.

Today, he and Cui Wenjing, because of the secret cooperation that even Cui Wensheng didn't know, inspected several key places in the docks of Tongxian County, but he never expected to see Zheng Haizhu confronting the eunuchs of Dongchang.

Ma Xianglin didn't care about discussing with Cui Wenjing, so he rode his horse directly, and from Zheng Haizhu's three-word narration, his anger ignited even more.

It's the heavenly family and the eunuchs who bully the people again!

At the beginning of Shiyan, Sichuan, the eunuch Qiu Chengyun was so arrogant and vicious, and his father Ma Qiancheng finally died tragically in the edict in order to protect the people of Shiyan.

Ma Xianglin stared at Wei Zhongxian for another moment, and Fang said, "What? The father-in-law looks at the imperial historians in the court like enemies, so he must kill all the people placed by the left imperial history? ”

"Hey, General Ma is serious," Wei Zhongxian couldn't wait for Ma Xianglin to behave so toughly and politely, so he arched his hand again, "Zuo Yushi has Zuo Yushi's errand, and our old Wei has Lao Wei's errand." Today, Lao Wei received an errand from Ciqing Palace. ”

After saying that, he looked at Guan Zhuang and added: "Chen Guanzhuang, Lao Chen, you can talk about the cause and effect." ”

Guan Zhuang swallowed, and when he was about to speak, Cui Wenjing waved his hand at him.

Cui Wenjing observed his words and looks, and saw that Wei Zhongxian did not have a tense attitude towards Ma Xianglin, and threw the burden to the steward of Huangzhuang, obviously wanting to shake off.

Cui Wenjing, who had already taken refuge in the new master and had other plans, quickly weighed it, the birdman of Ciqing Palace could be offended, and General Ma's intentions could not be disobeyed.

Cui Wenjing then accepted a Maitreya-like smile, and said lightly to the Guan Zhuang: "If it is in the Imperial Village, if you want to beat or scold the tenant slaves, Cui Mou can't control it." But this is the Tongxian wharf, so I can teach Chen Guanzhuang to know, north to Juyong Pass, south to Haizi, west to Lugou Bridge, east to Tongzhou, all of which are the boundaries of our patrol and capture camp for the long live lord. This blue sky and white day, not Xing dragged the monkey and led the dog under our noses to take the Zhuang people away, if there is really any grievance, long live the Lord asked, how can we patrol the camp to explain? ”

Guan Zhuang listened to it in a panic, and also understood that today's luck was too bad, although Zuo Guangdou's bird civil official was not there, he actually ran into an inexplicable group of people such as mother-in-law and soldiers, and Wei Zhongxian, an old bastard, was still throwing the pot in battle.

Guan Zhuang still dared to talk nonsense, and when he went back left and right to explain to Li Xuanzhi, he shook his head bitterly and sighed: "Cui Ye said it, it is reasonable, it is reasonable." ”

turned to Wei Zhongxian again: "Father-in-law Wei, how can we get it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian made a gesture to appease him, reined back on his horse, and said to the crowd of black oppression: "Master Jingzhong has brought some information, so I won't take anyone today." ”

He immediately signaled the guards of the East Factory to throw the tied peasants down to the ground, and let the family members who pounced on them tear the ropes off their bodies.

Cui Wenjing regained his pleasant face, and said softly to Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law Wei, don't worry, Cui will report to his brother when he goes back, no matter what, the current harem is still the concubine." ”

"Save, save, work, work." Wei Zhongxian did not hesitate to flatter, "Don't delay Brother Cui and General Ma, our family and Guan Zhuang will go first." ”

With that, he lifted the reins and galloped towards the passage where the crowd had cleared.

Before the horse picked up speed, Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zheng Haizhu again.

That fearless gaze was cast straight and aggressively.

Wei Zhongxian was familiar with too many of the woman's gazes.

Her earliest hostess of the Forbidden Palace was the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, Wang's eyes were like buffaloes, docile and stunned. The Wang family died, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao was pointed out by the prince to Li Xuanzhi to raise, that Li Xuanzhi's appearance was much stronger than Wang's, but he always loved to roll his eyes, as if he could turn out the position of a queen by rolling his eyes, and he was stupid. As for his concubine Ke, her eyes are charming, and her eyes are even more charming, but occasionally she is ruthless, which is more poisonous than Cui Wensheng.

And the woman surnamed Zheng in front of her has a momentum that Wei Zhongxian has never seen in a woman, and she is by no means as arrogant as Zheng Guifei.

This woman, his old Wei, remembered.
