When all the courtiers who came to mourn entered James's house, Liu Erbing asked Zhang Ren, "What's next? What needs to be done? The brothers are still young and haven't married yet. It would be a shame if he really died."
Unknown things are often the scariest things. Although Mo Conongrong and others except Liu Erbing were relatively calm, they were inexplicably involved in the fight. They didn't understand what was going on from beginning to end. They also had a big stone hanging in their hearts.
In order to appease their hearts, Zhang Ren could only say: "From now on, just follow the orders of the governor. Just stay here. There are experts in Zhan Shi's house, and they will naturally be able to protect you."
Hearing this, several people were relieved. At this time, Liu Erbing noticed that Zhang Ren's eyelids had some bruises. Liu Erbing pointed at it and asked, "Zhang Ren, you were beaten by someone." ?」
Zhang Ren quickly covered his eye and entered James's house without looking back.
Could he still tell Liu Erbing that he was hung from a tree and beaten by two seniors? Don’t you want to lose face?
Liu Erbing looked at Zhang Ren's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly at Mo Congrong, "The situation we were in just now was already dangerous enough. Zhang Ren's situation must be ten times more dangerous than ours. God knows what he will face." Dragon's Pond and Tiger's Den?"
Mo calmly nodded.
In fact, Mo Congrong has admired Zhang Ren since Zhang Ren won the Jinyiwei Competition. He himself has a dull temper, and his brain is not as agile as his elder brother Mo Dingding. Compared with Zhang Ren, he is even worse. Very far.
So in Mo Congrong's eyes, Zhang Ren is a man with brains and ability. He really wants to have more contact with Zhang Ren and learn some skills, but there has never been a chance. Moreover, his elder brother has always criticized Zhang Ren. Now he is better. , since it was the governor's order, I guess my eldest brother wouldn't stop me from learning skills from Zhang Ren.
When Zhang Ren returned to the mourning hall, almost all the courtiers who came gave him unfriendly looks.
Zhang Ren didn't care, he came to Zhu Yunwen's side, knelt down on the futon, and accompanied Zhu Yunwen to burn paper in the brazier.
Zhang Ren told what happened when he was intercepted and killed, and what he saw and heard after entering Zhan Shi's house. Before, Zhang Ren would never have said these words to Zhu Yunwen.
But now that Zhu Yunwen has shown his ambition, Zhang Ren must speak out. It is better for Zhu Yunwen to face many things by himself. He believes that Zhu Yunwen has the wisdom to match his ambition.
After listening to Zhang Ren's words, Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "I know, I will pay more attention here. Brother Ren, you also need to pay more attention to safety."
Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything to express his gratitude. Zhang Ren had really helped him a lot, so he just kept these things in his heart and there was no need to say them out loud. Saying too many words of thanks would be unsightly and would make the two of you seem a lot stranger.
Li Jinglong did not stay in Zhan Shi's Mansion for long. He only offered two sticks of incense to the prince and then returned to the Zuo Dudu Mansion. He was very curious as to what gift Zhang Ren gave him.
But when he arrived at Zuo Dudu's Mansion, Li Jinglong was dumbfounded. He looked at the corpses sent by Zhang Ren and the bows and arrows in the army. He was dumbfounded for a moment.
….
He quickly summoned a confidant, pointed to the corpses on the ground, and asked, "What's going on?"
The confidant saluted Li Jinglong and then said, "Reporting to the Grand Governor, these corpses were sent by Zhang Ren, a member of the Jinyiwei family."
Li Jinglong didn't say anything, and directly gave his confidant a big mouth.
Even though Li Jinglong behaved extremely well-behaved in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also appeared cautious when meeting people like Han Qin, he was very good at showing off his airs in front of his subordinates, which also caused many generals and colonels in the Governor's Mansion to be afraid of him.
The confidant was beaten until stars appeared in his eyes, but he didn't understand why he was beaten.
Just listen to Li Jinglong say: "I don't know that Zhang Ren sent these? What does he want to do by sending these corpses? Is it to humiliate the governor? I, Li Jinglong, and Zhang Ren are not at odds with each other!"
Li Jinglong felt that he had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, and wanted to give his henchmen a few more slaps to vent his anger.
Fortunately, his confidant has been with Li Jinglong for a long time.
Already know Li Jinglong's temper.
I saw my confidant immediately jumped out of the way, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart: The body was sent by Zhang Ren. If you have the ability to beat Zhang Ren, what is your ability to vent your anger on me here? It’s also a bitter experience that I’ve been working with you all these years. I haven’t gained any benefits or military exploits, but I’ve let you use it to vent your anger!
Feeling that he was in a safe area, his confidants reported: "Grand Governor, these people intercepted and killed Zhang Ren of Jinyiwei Baihu in the street this morning. The weapons used were the long swords and bows and arrows worn by the army. Fortunately, Zhang Baihu did not Serious problem."
Li Jinglong was able to be appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was certainly due to his family background, but Li Jinglong was not too stupid. Let’s not say what his abilities are, but he is definitely quite smart.
After listening to the report from his confidant, Li Jinglong's face turned deathly gray.
He quickly ordered his confidants: "Send my order! Investigate this matter thoroughly! I want to see who dares to commit crimes in Jinling City! The identities of these people must also be found out!"
All the confidants immediately took the order and left.
Li Jinglong came to these corpses and kicked them hard several times. He couldn't help but think in his heart: Damn it, he just took over Yingtian Defense, and someone dared to attack Jinling City, and they were using the military standard. Weapons, aren't you deliberately trying to trick yourself? At this time, I was really wet and wet, and I was like shit. The most annoying thing is that these people have already started to intercept and kill, but they still haven't been able to kill Zhang Ren. What a bunch of trash!
Li Jinglong punched and kicked the corpse for a long time, and then he felt that the anger in his heart had subsided a lot.
He tidied up his somewhat messy hair, then had his horse ready and went straight to the palace.
Such a big thing happened. He knew that with His Majesty's intelligence system, he probably already knew about it, so Li Jinglong wanted to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. This was not his fault, but such a big thing happened in the heavily defended Jinling City, and he, who was responsible for the defense, had an unshirkable responsibility.
Just imagine, what if these people wanted to kill not Zhang Ren but Zhu Yuanzhang? Even if Li Jinglong had time, his head wouldn't be enough.
Li Jinglong entered the palace. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame him and only told him to find the mastermind as soon as possible.
Li Jinglong came out of the palace and went straight to the Ministry of War. He was a first-rank official, so even the Minister of War must treat him with courtesy when he saw him. Li Jinglong didn't waste any time and ordered his men to start looking through the roster of the Ministry of War and start comparing it with the various guards stationed around Yingtian Mansion in the hope of finding any clues.
At the same time, Li Jinglong also ordered his men to go to the Ministry of Industry. He also wanted to check the weapons used by those people.
This also shows Zhang Ren's wisdom. If he were asked to find out who wanted to kill him, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry would definitely not be so cooperative. After all, Jin Yiwei's reputation was really bad.
Night rivers and lakes.
