"Hmph! I'm not blind. You're wearing dog skin, so no one would recognize you." Yang Guanguang raised his head and said with a very aloof look.
It has been recorded in history that during the Ming Dynasty, all officials who thought they had integrity were very disdainful of institutions like the Jinyiwei. They gradually became known as dogskin, which meant that they were a group of dogs kept by the emperor.
As soon as the word "dog skin" came out, Sun Chuang and other Jin Yiwei all looked at him angrily. It was obvious that they disliked this term very much, and even hated it very much.
But it's just a stare. What they want to do depends on their command. After all, ministers had said this to them before, but in the end they really had nothing to do against each other.
Zhu Changwu is certainly not those commanders.
Needless to say, previous commanders had to abide by the rules, but he - didn't need to!
"Haha, how about dog skin? In my opinion, it is worse than you people with human faces and animal hearts, who are not even as good as dog skin." Zhu Changwu is not afraid of anyone when it comes to bickering. He insults himself first and then insults others. This is also a way. .
"You are brave." Hearing Zhu Changwu say that he has a human face and an animal heart, which is worse than a pig or a dog, Yang Guanguang immediately became angry, pointed at Zhu Changwu who was standing there, and started to shout loudly.
As soon as he shouted, a shadow suddenly approached like a ghost, and then there was a scream that was as painful as the bone marrow, "Ah! My finger!"
In the blink of an eye, Yang Guanguang's outstretched finger was broken off.
Needless to say, it was Zhu Changwu who took action.
He hates it when others point fingers at him, and what he likes to do most is to pull other people's fingers, so... such a result is only normal.
He covered his right hand with his left hand, and looking at the deformed fingers, Yang Guanguang couldn't help but squat down, sweating on his head, and kept whining.
"Search and see what kind of dirt is hidden here and what dirt it contains." After taking action, Zhu Changwu was no longer polite and gave an order to the Jinyi guards standing in the yard.
The commander was so brave that all the Jin Yi guards were shocked.
This should be the behavior of their Jin Yiwei, and should not be like before, where they are restricted in everything, and they have to think about rules and consider the impact in everything they do. In that case, what can be accomplished?
The three hundred Jinyi guards all agreed, and then began to rush towards each room. After a while, various shouts would be heard, especially the screams of some female family members.
Zhu Changwu, who was standing, turned a deaf ear to this.
His nature is not to do anything to these people, but who allows them to live here? Just like Chongzhen died, his queen and princesses all died. Aren't they innocent?
Therefore, there are only winners and losers in this world, and innocence is just a way of expressing sympathy for the weak, without much practical meaning. How do you say that, since you have enjoyed the convenience that this identity brings to you, one day, you must be prepared to pay the consequences for this identity at any time.
The Jin Yiwei are good at finding people, but no matter where you hide in the yard, you will be found one by one in a short time.
It's just that people found a lot of people, but they didn't see the target they were looking for. When Sun Chuang came to Zhu Changwu with a nervous look on his face, he shook his head gently, saying that he had not found Wang Zhixin, there was no such thing on his fingers. Yang Guanguang, who was in pain, stood up amidst laughter, "What's the matter? Didn't you find the person you were looking for? Let me tell you, if you can't find the person, you have to give me an explanation, and you, Zhu Changwu, If I want to impeach you, I must..."
"Bang!"
Lifting your leg is just one kick.
Yang Guanguang, who was hit in the chest, flew backwards. Then his body accidentally hit a beam. He lowered his head and fainted.
"Damn it, can't I cure you if I can't find anyone?" After kicking out, Zhu Changwu retracted his outstretched right leg gracefully, and then said to Sun Chuang: "Search, everyone and everything here can't be cured." Let it go, we must find out where Wang Zhixin went?"
After saying this, Zhu Changwu turned around and left. Looking at Sun Chuang who was following him with a guilty look on his face, he said, "Don't feel any psychological pressure. The enemy is cunning, but not everyone is so easy for us to find. We have to What you need to do is not to do the same thing twice in the future.”
"Thank you for your trust, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely ask you for details." Sun Chuang stood upright and said assuringly.
"I believe you. I'll leave the affairs here to you. Just do it with confidence. If anything happens, I'll be there to take care of it." He reached out and patted Sun Chuang on the shoulder. Zhu Changwu turned around and strode away from the Yang Mansion.
Sun Chuang is loyal, but after all, he was just a general bannerman before. Even if he is promoted to a hundred households now, he still has limited knowledge and will inevitably underestimate some opponents. It seems that Jin Yiwei still needs better helpers.
Thinking of this, Zhu Changwu took out a piece of paper from his arms, looked at the name and address written on it, and then asked about it all the way.
...
Sankou Street is named because there are three street intersections connected here.
The home of Li Ruolian, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, is here.
Li Ruolian, also known as Chengfu, was a member of the Fanyu Department of Shanglinyuan and was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen.
When he first joined the Jinyi Guards, he impressed many people with his superb martial arts. After that, he made many contributions. Later, he was noticed by Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, and recommended him to Chongzhen. He was later promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei. Third in command.
When it comes to competing in kung fu, no one in the entire Jinyi Guard can surpass him. But when it comes to scheming, he is far behind. Later, he was attracted by Wu Mengming, who was also the commander and the commander. The two worked together to oppose Luo Yangxing and forced him to step down.
Luo Yangxing became a fellow commander, and Wu Mengming became the top leader. The two of them simultaneously attacked Li Ruolian, accusing him of being disloyal to a knowledgeable person and unworthy of being a human son. In a moment of anger, Wu Jinshi resolutely handed over his badge and returned home.
In history, it is said that when the intruders invaded the city of Beijing, he stood on the tower and fought with the enemy to death; it is also said that he committed suicide at home and died for his country after learning that the intruders had entered the capital.
Looking at it now, the latter may be more likely. At least Zhu Changwu did not see this person on the Xuancheng Gate tower.
When he went to see Chongzhen last night, Zhu Changwu asked Wang Chengen for Li Ruolian's address. Needless to say, he wanted to meet this person and see if he could be appointed.
It's appointment, not reuse.
Zhu Changwu didn't really like such a naive person who didn't even know how to be grateful. But there is no way. There are too few people available now, especially Jin Yiwei. He can't do everything big and small by himself. Before Sun Chuang, Xue Changkong and others have grown up, he needs to find a similar transitional agent. .
Li Ruolian is one of the best targets.
Zhu Changwu, who came alone without a subordinate, did not want anyone else to be present and make Li Ruolian lose his dignity. He personally stretched out his right hand and pushed gently, without even calling the door, and entered the house.
The yard is either very big or small, with a main house, a side house and a woodshed. It's the kind of place where you can see the whole situation at a glance.
Just after he was admitted to the hospital, a man stood up in the yard. He was fetching water and washing his face. At this time, there was a look of astonishment on his face.
Judging from his figure, although he is not tall, he is very well-proportioned and his arms are thick and strong. It is obvious at a glance that he is a powerful person. It goes without saying that this is the person he is looking for.
"Are you Li Ruolian?" Zhu Changwu said.
At this time, Zhu Changwu put on a piece of ordinary people's clothes, covering up the python robe well.
"Exactly, you are?" Li Ruolian saw a trace of confusion in his eyes when he saw the person calling him by his name, but he didn't recognize him.
"Take your life!"
Seeing that it was the rightful master, Zhu Changwu flew forward without saying a word, and landed next to him in two arrow steps.
What a great Li Ruolian, he was worthy of being a martial arts scholar, and his reactions were extremely quick. Seeing the person rushing toward him, looking like he was about to take his life, he threw out a basin of wash water, rolled his body on the ground, and came to the well. He fished out a handful of embroidery hidden here. The spring knife was held in his hand.
Zhu Changwu dodged sideways and easily avoided the water stain, but then the blade also slashed towards him.
On one side of the body, just when the blade was about to come, the twist of the body caused the blade to fly away.
Before the strike was successful, Li Ruolian slashed straight at Zhu Changwu's waist with another strike.
One foot stretched out and hit the blade of the sword. The powerful force caused Li Ruolian to tremble, and then he took three steps back.
"What a handsome man, he's taking my knife."
Li Ruolian did not retreat because of the temporary loss. On the contrary, he became full of fighting spirit. Before he bullied him again, he danced an embroidered spring knife that was airtight, giving people a feeling that water could not be poured into it. feeling.
Facing the incoming knife net, Zhu Changwu just sneered, and with a move of his right hand, a tiger-tooth dagger was held in his hand. What followed was the constant sound of weapons hitting each other.
They say an inch is stronger than an inch is long.
In a confrontation like this, the length of Xiuchun Dao obviously gives him an advantage. But for some reason, no matter how Li Ruolian swung the knife, Zhu Changwu could always see through the direction of the opponent's knife, and used the dagger that seemed several times shorter to block the way in advance.
It felt like the dagger was waiting there one step ahead, waiting for Li Ruolian to strike with the knife.
