Chapter 264: Fighting in the Street
Speaking of which, Ma De's behavior of sending troops to surround the Yamen of Zhentai is a bit taboo. After all, no matter what, as one of the three major local constitutions, Zhentai has the title of Zhengsanpin, and without the permission of the emperor or the approval of the criminal department, it is really a bit rampant to surround this place without authorization. However, it is precisely because of this that Xu Zuyin did not expect this...... Although he knew that Ma De was bold, he didn't expect Ma De's courage to be so big. It seems that the governor of Jiangnan has no intention of letting him go at all, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot at him!
"My lord, what should I do?"
Xu Zuyin has always boasted of his extraordinary wisdom and scheming, and he can do it to his cronies, and the subordinate who came to report the news has not seen much of the world. However, when they acted in the past, Xu Zuyin had the advantage, so there was always a feeling that a cat looked at a mouse. But this time it was different, Ma De surrounded the Yamen, which made Xu Zuyin's subordinate feel like he was choked by the neck. It's like watching people start to move knives at themselves, but they can't move themselves, and can only be slaughtered by others, and it won't feel good to put it on anyone.
"Are you scared?" Xu Zuyin saw that this subordinate was a little flustered, rolled his eyes and glanced at the other party with contempt, and asked.
"My lord, now we can't get out, isn't it meat on the chopping board?" The subordinate said urgently.
"What about meat on the cutting board? If I were a piece of flesh, his knife would probably be able to cut it again! Xu Zuyin snorted coldly, his face gloomy.
……
"Lord Zhentai, on the orders of the Governor, I am here to invite you to come to the mansion!"
The person sent by Ma De soon appeared in front of Xu Zuyin, and as soon as they met, they bowed to him respectfully.
"Tell me about it? Hmph, sure enough, it's worthy of the Governor, and even the 'please' person is such a big pomp! Xu Zuyin sneered twice, and then continued: "This official is in charge of the Jiangsu Inspectorate Department, and he has always only led troops to surround people, but I didn't expect that he would be surrounded by others today!" …… The Governor wants to 'invite' me to go, but there must be a reason, right? ”
"The subordinate is just acting on orders, and he doesn't care about anything else!" The officer bowed his head and said.
"Don't ask? Hum! Can I not go? Xu Zuyin snorted coldly again.
"Adults can do whatever they want. However, when the Governor came, the Governor had issued a strict order that he must be invited. If Lord Zhentai is unwilling to leave, the lower official has no choice but to bring someone to accompany him! The officer continued. It's just that when he said this, he still lowered his head and looked like he didn't have enough confidence.
"Hmph, that's amazing. If I go, won't the adults bring me here anymore? ......" Xu Zuyin sneered again and asked.
"......" The official did not answer, but the silence was everything. If you just want to invite Xu Zuyin to come over, can't you just send someone to invite you? Sending troops to surround the government like this is that he didn't plan to let the people in the government go out at all.
"Humph!" Seeing that everything was as expected, Xu Zuyin snorted coldly again, and then, he squinted at the ordinary official in front of him, and asked, "I don't know this adult's surname?" ”
"There is a big man Lao Zhentai who asked, the next official is exempted from your surname Tian, Tian Wenjing!" The official representing Mader bowed and replied.
"Tian Wenjing? You are the Tian Wenjing who has been a county leader for 20 years? Xu Zuyin asked with some surprise.
“…… Do you know about the lower officials? Tian Wenjing looked up at Xu Zuyin in surprise, is he so famous? Even a provincial station knows me?
"Hmph, Lord Tian's name and surname are not known to the three provinces in Jiangnan now, I'm afraid there are not many. The Governor has been in office for five years, and he has never used a book, and you are the first. Those of us who are subordinates naturally have to inquire clearly! Xu Zuyin said slowly. Ma De is not a good servant, this is the unified perception of the officials of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, just in case, building a good relationship with certain people in the Governor's Palace has become a compulsory course for some officials. However, for some reason, those people did not have Xu Zuyin's attention to Ma De. It is precisely because of this that Xu Zuyin will know the existence of Tian Wenjing in the shortest possible time. Seriously, when he heard that Ma De accepted Tian Wenjing, a guy who has been a county leader for 20 years, he still felt a little incomprehensible, with Ma De's eyes, how could he look at Tian Wenjing, a figure who is not outstanding in all aspects or even a relatively low level? For this reason, he even sent someone to Jiuyan Prefecture to check Tian Wenjing's resume. It can be said that Xu Zuyin's understanding of Tian Wenjing is much more detailed than Ma De. However, what made Xu Zuyin feel a little frustrated was that so many eyes and ears he sent in Anhui were stunned that they couldn't pass the news of Ma De's move to him in time, and let the family give him a "turtle in the urn". It's just unbearable! However, this also confirms one of his thoughts from another aspect, that is, Ma De came prepared this time, and nine times out of ten, he came for him.
"Lord Tai, we are still waiting. Please! Tian Wenjing listened to Xu Zuyin's explanation, and didn't ask anything more, but secretly despised this Lord Tai in his heart. It looks like an extraordinary temperament, and it turns out that it is still the same color. The body is not afraid of the shadow, what are you paying attention to the governor of the people? There must be a ghost in my heart! It seems that this time the governor and soldiers surrounded the Yamen of the Taitai did the right thing, although it was a little unruly, but it also prevented this person from secretly making trouble after learning the news. Tian Wenjing said secretly. Originally, when Ma De sent him to "invite" Xu Zuyin, he was still reluctant, thinking that Ma De's behavior was wrong. However, now his thoughts have faded a little. Moreover, Tian Wenjing didn't notice that after listening to Xu Zuyin's words, he actually had a trace of pride in his heart, a trace of pride as an official of the Governor's Mansion. After all, it's still a good thing to be eye-catching!
"Since the Governor is so 'enthusiastic', then please ask Lord Tian to lead the way!" Xu Zuyin knew that if he didn't go to see Ma De this time, he would fall into the handle of "being a thief", so he didn't have the idea of being unable to get over at all. The reason why he said so much to Tian Wenjing was actually to delay time.
"Ma De, Ma De, I don't know if you have even found the secret passage in my Yamen, if you can't find it, then we will have a fight!" Looking at the dim sky outside, Xu Zuyin thought secretly. Digging a secret passage in his own residence is the basic life-saving rule of officials in the past dynasties, and Xu Zuyin is trapped in party disputes, so naturally he will not forget such a final escape method. Only, can he get his wish?
……
"Master, where are we going?"
Gao Fuer slapped his horse and leaned forward, leaned over to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and said. After receiving Kangxi's order, Yinzhen set off with a few escorts. I worked hard all the way, and it didn't take me a few days to arrive at Jiangning Mansion, that is, Nanjing.
"Don't go anywhere, find an inn to rest first, and wait for tomorrow!" Yin Zhen thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" Gao Fuer didn't say anything more, answered, and stepped aside.
"Fourth Master, do we want to go to Wei Junmen and ask them about the situation first?" Zhang Yuxiang saw Gao Fu'er retreat next to him, and saw Yinzhen's unhurried expression, so he couldn't help but come forward and say a word.
"Lord Zhang, if you look for Lord Wei and them, the emperor only needs to send someone over and ask him. But the emperor didn't send someone to ask, but sent us over, which shows that the emperor must have another deep meaning, let's not trouble others. It all depends! "Zhang Yuxiang is the leader of the guards beside Kangxi, and he is deeply valued, and Yinzhen naturally can't send him away like Gao Fu'er, so he said more.
"Hmm!" Seeing that Yinzhen had some truth, Zhang Yuxiang couldn't say anything, so he had to step aside. He is just the leader of the guards sent by Kangxi to the fourth elder brother, not the mastermind of this trip, since Yinzhen wants to see more, then he can only listen to orders.
"Lord Zhang, this Jiangning is the capital of gold powder in the Six Dynasties, a prosperous and prosperous place, it is rare to visit, of course we have to take a look. If we go to Lord Wei, with the temper of these elders, they will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us, and at that time, we will not be so easy! Yin Zhen saw Zhang Yuxiang's somewhat solemn expression, and said with a smile.
"Several members of the Wei Junmen are loyal to the emperor, and if they do that, they must be worried about the safety of the fourth master." Zhang Yuxiang replied.
That's right. However, I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable to be watched all the time! Yinzhen smiled again, then said no more, patted the horse and walked forward, Zhang Yuxiang beckoned the other guards, and followed closely.
……
"Okay, hit, hit, ......"
Riding into the city, they didn't go far, Yinzhen and the others heard a shout, turned the corner, and the group saw a bunch of people crowded in front, and the sound of shouting and shouting kept coming out of the crowd. Yin Zhen and the others rode on horses, sat high, and could see clearly, there was an open space about five or six zhang large in the middle of the crowd, and there were two people fighting back and forth in the open space. A group of people gathered outside, cheering and shouting.
"What's going on? Jiangning Mansion is the capital of a province, and no one cares about fighting in the streets, what kind of system is this? Gao Fu'er saw Yinzhen frowning slightly, and said unhappily beside her.
"Those two people are good kung fu!" Zhang Yuxiang stared at the crowd for a while and said.
"Yes, it's good kung fu!" Yin Zhen also nodded. The Qing court royal family shot at the heavy cavalry, and Kangxi has always been strict with his sons, so Yinzhen, like a brother, knows some martial arts. Although he didn't learn very well, he still had eyesight. The two people who are fighting in the street can be called masters. At least, not under the masters of the Ouchi guards he had seen before.
"Good ......"
Just as Yin Zhen was pondering, the crowd suddenly erupted in applause, and it turned out that the tall and sturdy man among the two people who were competing in the circle suddenly came a few volleys in a row, his legs were fierce, and he was whirring with the wind, forcing another master who was dressed in short fights and looked a little thin to retreat again and again. However, the big man obviously believed in his own strength too much, and just as he was kicking his legs, his opponent suddenly rushed short and rushed to his side and back, and then, without waiting for him to react, he reached out and pushed him on the waist! Then, this big man, who was at least two hundred pounds, was pushed by the opponent who looked a little thin and flew more than two feet away. After falling to the ground, he still staggered for a while, and finally stopped his body.
"One body is strong and heavy, fierce enough; A machine is flexible, clever enough! Leverage your strength...... I look at that thinner one! Zhang Yuxiang whispered next to him again.
"Oh?" When Yin Zhen heard Zhang Yuxiang's comment, he was noncommittal, but still watched the fight in the open space.
"Ah......h
The big man was pushed by his opponent who seized the opportunity, and almost made a fool of himself, and suddenly became angry, screamed suddenly, and rushed forward again. However, although he was angry, this time he still learned to be obedient, no longer pretending, but playing steadily, relying on his advantage of a thick waist and long hands and feet, and pressed towards the opponent step by step. And when he did this, the scene was suddenly different. Yin Zhen and the others didn't expect that this big man was so tall that he could shoot so quickly and agilely, and his fists and feet were as fast as the wind, and his opponent, the somewhat thin man, was actually pressed for a while and only had the power to parry, and he was forced to retreat step by step.
Zhang Da...... Master, now you see who can win? Gao Fu'er saw that the situation was reversed, and asked Zhang Yuxiang with a smile.
"It's hard to say." Zhang Yuxiang was also a little surprised that the big man would shoot so quickly, but of course he wouldn't let Gao Fu'er, a layman, compare, smile, and continued: "Although that big man is now fast and fierce, and he has the advantage, but he will inevitably consume a lot of strength, on the other hand, his opponent calmly responds to the battle, although he retreats step by step, but his body is not disordered, he is simply accumulating strength, waiting for a blow." So, it's hard to say who will win! ”
"Hehe, Brother Zhang is really a master, and he can see through the key at a glance!" Yin Zhen smiled. And seeing that the master spoke, although Gao Fuer was not convinced by Zhang Yuxiang's words, he could only shut up.
"The fourth master has won the award, in fact, Zhang is just a 'bystander'." Zhang Yuxiang waved his hand and smiled.
"Bystander clear! Not bad, not bad......" Yin Zhen smiled, turned his head to look at the two people who were fighting, and said, "Since someone is in the way, let's go another way." Otherwise, if the official comes, maybe it will be troublesome! ”
"Listen to the fourth master!" Zhang Yuxiang answered, and was about to turn the horse's head to find another way, but he heard the crowd suddenly shouting in unison again. As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the big man who had just taken the advantage flipped more than a person high in the air, and his right leg was facing up, and he had already smashed towards Yinzhen.
"Be careful!"
"Bold!"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuxiang dared to hesitate, and while drinking, he pulled out his saber violently and slammed it towards the big man's leg from the bottom down.
"Dang!"
A master is a master, the big man was in the air, but he still relied on his intuition and retracted his leg when Zhang Yuxiang's knife came up. As a result, Zhang Yuxiang only slashed the big man's foot, but this time the intimate contact between the knife and the foot unexpectedly had no effect, only a sound of gold and iron resonating.
"Take it!" Zhang Yuxiang didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered a few guards around him to take action to capture the big man who had already landed. However, before the Ouchi guards who came with him had time to dismount, the thin man who had just been working with the big man had already jumped over in a few steps and blocked in front of their horses:
"Wait!"
"Bold, dare to assassinate, you don't want to live anymore?" Gao Fuer rode on his horse and shouted loudly in front of Zhang Yuxiang.
"This brother has misunderstood, we are just jockeying, and he will miss if he pushed Brother Ma down just now. It's not like it's trying to attack you! When the thin man heard Gao Fu'er's shouting, he glanced at Yinzhen and the others with some surprise, and hurriedly clenched his fists and explained.
"That's right. It's obvious that you didn't pay attention just now, how can you blame Master Ma? Someone in the crowd shouted. However, as soon as this shout started, he was immediately glared at by Gao Fu'er viciously.
"This old man's knife is so strong......" glanced at Gao Fu'er with a little disdain, and the big man said to Zhang Yuxiang just now. Then he took off the shoe on his foot, took it in his hand and knocked it, and then two pieces of iron fell out of the shoe, one of which still had a pit that looked like a toe.
"I've learned how to play my legs, and I have pieces of iron wrapped around my feet, and it's not like I've never fought with a knife or gun, but it's the first time I've been cut in two. Brother Tai is a good knife! Dahan put on his shoes again and said to Zhang Yuxiang.
"Who are you?" Yin Zhen suddenly asked.
"My name is Ma Yulin, a native of Jimo, Shandong! This is a famous local martial artist, Teacher Gan Fengchi! This time, I have to find Mr. Gan to compete, and everything is on me! The big man hugged his fist at Yinzhen, and pointed to the thin man and said.
"Gan Fengchi?" Zhang Yuxiang glared at the man who looked a little thin, more like a scholar than a martial artist, and his face was full of surprise: "You are the Gan Fengchi who is said to be able to 'break through the strength of his hands and turn lead and tin into water'?" ”
"Good deeds are just falsehoods. Under is Gan Feng Pond! I missed it just now, and I was so offended! Seeing that Zhang Yuxiang and the others were no longer tense, the thin man also temporarily put down his mood, and when he heard Zhang Yuxiang's question, he replied with a fist.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhang Yuxiang had obviously heard of Gan Fengchi's deeds, and it was rare to see a real person, and he was about to ask a few more questions, but he heard a few loud shouts with a sound of horses' hooves. Then, a team of Eight Banners cavalry appeared in front of him.
"Get out of the way, General Jiang Ning is here, everyone wait, immediately avoid!"
