Chapter 41: Midnight on the Street
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the alley.
A carriage dressed in a jinshi scarf stopped outside the Ming Shi Fang in Dongcheng, and then opened the door of the carriage.
"Quick, stuff one from house to door, and I'll continue to tell you the story of Zhuge Wuhou after I'm done."
"Good!"
Five or six children worked together, and in less than half an hour, they filled another room.
"Mr. Zhang, we're done!"
The scholar bowed slightly.
"Let's all get in the car, be careful, don't kowtow."
Just as the scholar was about to drive away, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from in the distance, and he directly caught up with the carriage driven by the scholar.
"Who are you, and where do you serve?"
The scholar sat in the carriage and arched his hand to the few people in front of him and said, "Student Hanlin Academy, this is the student's waist card." ”
After saying that, the scholar handed the waist card to the commander in front of him.
When he heard the three words "Shu Jishi", the commander's face was obviously much more polite.
There is one of them, but they are all the "prime ministers" of the imperial court, and they will at least be ranked in the ninth secretary in the future.
It looked like the commander was looking at the scholar's waist card.
But the scholar knew that this guy was weighing.
"Zhang Shuchang, you can put away the waist card."
The scholar bowed slightly, wiped the cold sweat on his palms on his scarf, took off the waist card, and then wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, the commander was still in front of the scholar's carriage.
"Please also ask Zhang Shu to forgive your sins, we are also on a business trip, and your car can't continue to move forward."
The scholar's face changed suddenly.
"Why can't I keep going?!"
The conductor rode on his horse and bowed his hand to the scholar.
"Zhang Shuchang, what is on your car, you should know that it is really bad for you and for your humble position, don't make us embarrassed."
The reins in the scholar's hand couldn't help but slip off.
Just when the scene was deadlocked.
Everyone suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and a rough voice suddenly sounded.
"Release! Who made it difficult for Zhang Shuchang? ”
The commander's face suddenly sank, and he opened his mouth to scold.
It's just that when he turned around, what he saw was the British Duke Zhang Rong who commanded the five cities.
"Grandpa!"
The commander hurriedly dismounted and fell to the ground in a hurry.
"Zhao Yingrong, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, paid a visit to the British duke."
"Lao Tzu let you go! What a salute you do! ”
"But ......"
Zhang Rong's eyes widened, staring at Zhao Yingrong.
"Lao Tzu doesn't ask who you asked you to come, I have already left a life for your kid, don't be ignorant."
Zhang Rong reminded him.
Zhao Yingrong broke out in a cold sweat when he ascended.
A head slammed into the ground.
"Grandpa Xie for your guidance, thank you for your great kindness!"
"It's all gone! Release! ”
"Whoa!"
Just as Zhao Yingrong was removing the barricade, Zhao Yingrong glanced casually, but saw Zhang Rong not far away saluting a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in the corner.
Zhao Yingrong, who saw this scene, had his hair standing up.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people can make the British public salute?
Even if Zhu Xizhong has a lifelong friendship with the Son of Heaven, he is just a brother and brother to Zhang Rong!
Who this young man is, Zhao Yingrong doesn't care and doesn't care.
At this time, Zhao Yingrong just wanted to go home quickly.
It's just that just when Zhao Yingrong wanted to retract his gaze, the young man's gaze obviously met his own.
Zhao Yingrong's body stiffened and twisted to the side suddenly.
After twisting, Zhao Yingrong couldn't wait to slap himself.
Isn't this a self-confession!
"I'm stunned, go back to the Soldiers and Horses! Get on the horse, quick! ”
Zhao Yingrong couldn't wait to go home directly and get into the bed.
This kind of scene, this kind of thing is definitely not something that can be mixed up by such a small Dongcheng Terracotta Division commander!
Not being curious, not caring, is the only way to survive.
Zhu Zaili, who was hiding in the corner, glanced at Zhang Rong.
"Yinggong, I don't want anyone to know that I'm out of the palace tonight."
Zhang Rong immediately bowed his head.
"I understand."
With that, Zhang Rong walked towards Zhao Yingrong in the distance.
"Brother Zhao! Walk slowly, wait for me. ”
was shouted by Zhang Rong, Zhao Yingrong felt as if he had been hit by an arrow in the back, and the whole person froze directly on the horse.
Good guys, the British public calls himself an old brother.
What does that mean?!
Extinguish?
There was already a faint tremor in the reply.
"Hey...... Ay. ”
Zhang Rong walked towards Zhao Yingrong with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, let's go to the Terracotta Division to talk."
A lieutenant beside Zhao Yingrong jumped off the horse in an interesting way, and Zhang Rong immediately turned over and got on the horse.
"Yinggong, don't be joking, you are a coward."
Zhang Rong stared at Zhao Yingrong coldly and lowered his voice.
"When you go back, you can only say that you don't see anything, you know?"
"Know! The lowly position is clearly understood! ”
Zhang Rong was afraid that Zhao Yingrong didn't understand, so he looked at the stone road in the distance and smacked his tongue.
"It's all right, Jingshi is fine, and you haven't seen me at all, you know?"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Yingrong's brain was blank, if he wasn't riding on a horse, he wouldn't even be able to walk.
Looking at Zhao Yingrong's reaction, Zhang Rong nodded contentedly, and pulled the soldiers of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to leave in the distance.
And the scholar in the carriage behind him, after seeing the sergeant of the Five Cities Terracotta Division walking away, also directly turned his horse's head and prepared to set off towards the next square.
"Sir, stay here."
The scholar was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that there was a teenager behind him.
"...... is the driver?"
Zhu Zaili looked at the scholar and shook his head with a smile.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know that you're in trouble."
The scholar became vigilant immediately.
However, after such a toss by the Soldiers and Horses, the scholar has become more and more convinced of what Ning Jue said to him.
It's a lot easier.
"What do you mean by that?"
After that, the scholar saw Zhu Zaili slowly take out a sheet of paper with freshly dried ink from his arms.
"Sir, do you know what will be the result if this list falls into the hands of someone else?"
After being broken by Zhu Zaili's words, the scholar didn't bother to pretend, and directly leaned on the carriage and put it in pieces.
"What is it, sir?"
The scholar looked at Zhu Zaili suspiciously.
"Isn't Zunjia going to transfer Zhang to the Department of Justice?"
The smile on Zhu Zaili's face became even stronger.
"Sir really doesn't care?"
Shuchang sighed and said leisurely
"I don't care."
"Why?"
"Entrusted by others, loyal to people, not to mention, I think that person is right!"
The scholar was ready to be pushed to the ground by the big man who rushed out left and right.
Unexpectedly, the young man stuffed the paper slip in his hand and a piece of jade pendant into his hand.
"Take this, it's better than your waist card."
The scholar opened his eyes suspiciously, and through the dim lights on the side of the street, he could vaguely see that this was a white jade dragon jade pendant, and there was a bright yellow tassel tied behind it.
It's royalty!
The entire Ming Dynasty, the young man who can use this jade pendant, who else can there be!
The scholar opened his eyes abruptly and hurriedly climbed out of the carriage.
"The minister Ding Weike Jinshi, the Hanlin Academy watched the government Zhang Juzheng, and met His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhu Zaili quietly looked at the scholar in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.
Zhang Juzheng ...... Okay, I remember. ”
"Be careful."
