The news of our failed robbery reached here before we came back. Before we could salute, Gu Dayong glanced at us and said sharply: "Look at you, there are so many people, and you let Mou Bin go. Are you eating the inside out!?"
Liu Tong was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said: "My father-in-law, calm down, my subordinates dare not. It is indeed Ye Chengda who intervened and colluded with outsiders. We, we can't defeat them, so we let them escape."
Gu Dayong smiled coldly and said: "Are you considered a royal guard? Commander Liao, the master you sent! Things that have been decided long ago have gone wrong. How do you explain it to Eunuch Liu?" Liao Jianzhong stood up and said, "This is true. No wonder they, I was too careless, thinking that Mou Bin, who is in his dying years, can be dealt with by sending more than 30 Jinyi Guards, and Dongchang has also dispatched many masters. Ye Cheng has some great skills, but he may not be able to deal with you people. It works! It’s my fault for overestimating my brother’s strength!”
After hearing this, Liu Tong hurriedly said: "Commander clearly saw that we fought hard, Ye Chengda was at the end of his strength, and even Mou Bin was ready to commit suicide. I didn't expect a helping hand to suddenly come, and we have great kung fu. We people All the acupoints were tapped by him, and only Zhang Ying dealt with him. Zhang Ying charged forward, but he couldn't do anything to the man, and he was afraid of hurting us, so he had to watch the man escape." Describing it now, it naturally made me very happy. heroic.
After hearing this, Gu Dayong looked me up and down, smiled coldly, and said: "You guys, only Zhang Ying is willing to take action, which shows how far your usual kung fu has gone. Commander Liao, they are from the Jin Yiwei." , you decide how to deal with it."
Liao Jianzhong nodded and said: "I have ordered Mou Bin to be arrested secretly. Liu Tong did not do well, so he will be exempted from a hundred households and will be temporarily paid on his behalf. He will be fined for half a year. If he has made meritorious service, he will continue to investigate. The rest of them will not be promoted within a year!"
Gu Dayong nodded and said: "We all do things for others. If we can't do it well, we have to go around. Jinyiwei pays attention to rewards and punishments. Our family thinks Zhang Ying is good, so he should be rewarded! However, that Ye Cheng Da, do you have to be held accountable?" He smiled at me, the smile was a bit scary, I didn't dare to look at it, and lowered my head.
Liao Jianzhong looked troubled and said: "Eunuch, you also know that Ye Qianhu is a member of Eunuch Xiao, and has a good relationship with Eunuch Qiu and others. His behavior is just an accidental encounter. Besides, he is following Tu Qianhu this time. Hu went to Shaanxi for a business trip, which is a national matter. If we pursue the case, accidents may easily happen. It is better to wait until he comes back from his business trip before handling it." Gu Dayong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, let's deal with this matter Go home and discuss it with Eunuch Liu. But you have to continue to keep an eye on these people and don't let them escape." Liao Jianzhong responded.
Gu Dayong didn't say anything more, and led the people from Dongchang to leave Jinyiwei with a huff and a whistle. Liao Jianzhong looked at us and said, "It's freezing cold. Everyone is working hard. Go back and have a rest. Zhang Ying, stay!" But Xue Shen stood up and said, "Master Liao, should we send someone right away?" Check the whereabouts of Mu Bin?" Liao Jianzhong glanced at him and said: "Brothers are tired today, and they can't run too far. I think we will do it tomorrow." Xue Shen said: "Mo Bin and others are all from Jin Yiwei, right? Jinyiwei knows everything about it, so there is no need to delay. In this way, if my subordinates are willing to take people there, they may be able to find him." Liao Jianzhong frowned and said, "Since Xue Baihu is willing to go, I'll thank you for the hard work. Be careful on the road!"
After everyone dispersed, Liao Jianzhong brought me a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "You did a good job!" My face felt hot and I quickly whispered what happened. Liao Jianzhong sighed and said: "Brother Ye is really upright. He is a good man who has a bright future. It will be a pity if he is held accountable. I am afraid that he will be a home from all over the world in the future." I said: "Since they are good people, why do you still hunt them down? What's wrong with Xue Baihu? manage?"
Liao Jianzhong smiled bitterly and said: "How can we know this clearly? It must have something to do with Eunuch Liu. However, we tried our best to do something within our power, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort. As for Xue Shen, it depends on his fate. He He may not do it, it may be a reason to go out." Seeing my confusion, he continued: "You can know more or less, the emperor gradually reused his father-in-law when he was in the East Palace, especially Eunuch Liu Jin, it is very possible It is already a public matter to replace Eunuch Wang Yue and become the eunuch of the superior's ceremonial supervisor. How could Eunuch Wang Yue hand over power so easily? Naturally, he will make some moves. After all, he has been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor for many years and has a close relationship with the three senior ministers in the cabinet. I think there will be a fight in the inner court sooner or later, hey, let's try our best to wait and see, but how can we avoid it!" I heard half understanding, but half confused, and he stopped talking. He just asked me about that person in detail, thought about it again and again, and said in a low voice: "This person must be familiar with our Jinyiwei, you should pay more attention to it in the future. In this way, you can leave this matter alone for the time being, and I won't let you rest, Mr. Marquis The government is going out of town and needs the escort of the royal guards. I asked you to take them there tomorrow."
Before leaving, he suddenly stopped me and said that my fourth uncle was here and should be at the old Ping family store now. I could go and see him. I don't have a fourth uncle, but I still pretend to be extremely happy on my face. Liao Jianzhong looked at me with a smile and said, "When you go out, take your two brothers with you. They can take care of you in case of trouble."
It was late, but the sky was full of stars. I only led Hardy out. I originally wanted to look for Ning Boyang, but he disappeared. Hardy said that not long after he came back, he went out with Tan Sheng and others. He told me that he might not come back tonight, but he would not miss it. It’s midnight tomorrow morning.
This kid has always been mysterious. He knows too many things. Sometimes I can't figure out what he is busy with? When walking in the yard, I met Bao Xiaobai who was passing by in a hurry. He was still the same and asked me what I was doing. I said there are people coming from my hometown and I should go outside and take a look. He was thoughtful. I asked him what he was thinking about. Bao Xiaobai smiled and said: "Something happened in the palace. The luminous pearl sent from Champa City was stolen. Eunuch Liu lost his temper and ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to solve the case." I said curiously: "The palace is always on guard. , Who is so bold? It seems that he is definitely not human!" Bao Xiaobai said: "There are so many people with false reputations. One person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. How can there be anyone like you? Haha, I heard that you are going on a business trip tomorrow. It is said that you are going to Going to Juyongguan, the distance there is not very close, and there will be heavy snow, so be careful." He said and left with a smile.
Hardy looked at the stars in the sky and said, "How can it snow on such a beautiful day?" I was surprised that Bao Xiaobai knew everything. Then I thought about it, he was in charge of Jin Yiwei's paperwork, so he naturally knew a lot of things.
When we arrived at the old Hengjia store, there were almost no customers there. Shuer was clearing away the tables and chairs. When she saw us coming, she suddenly seemed in high spirits and very happy. She came over with a blushing face, said hello, and rushed upstairs again. He shouted: "Dad, Brother Zhang Ying is here."
I hurriedly said: "I'm here to find someone. My fourth uncle from my hometown came and said he was here." Shuer was stunned and said: "There are very few guests today. A few came, but they all left." I was very sad. Out of surprise, brother Ping Liu upstairs had already spoken: "It's Brother Zhang, I guess. Your fourth uncle has left and left something for you."
As he was talking, he walked downstairs. I hurried over and said, "Why are you gone? Do you have any letters?" I kept comparing Uncle Ping and Brother Ping in my mind. I always felt that they were related, but Brother Pingliu didn't. There was no change at all, and he said: "He came in a hurry and went out within an hour. He seems to be busy with business and is afraid that it will snow heavily tomorrow and he will not be able to leave!"
And some of the things given to me were just clothes. They were indeed mine and nothing more. I was surprised. Uncle Ping wouldn't just give me clothes, would he? My grandfather or father should have written to me, but why there is no news now. I was very surprised. I looked up at Brother Pingliu. He smiled and said, "He will come back in a few days!" After a pause, he said, "Everything is well in your family. Don't worry about it!"
I was even more confused. I didn’t know what kind of gourd medicine the Fourth Uncle Ping and the Sixth Brother Ping were selling. Because I had to get up early tomorrow, I said goodbye to him. Shuer leaned on the door frame, eyes full of nostalgia, looking at As we walked away, Hardy said to me quietly: "This girl Shu'er, I'm afraid she has fallen in love with you, second brother!" I felt hot in my heart, and looked back, and sure enough I could vaguely see her.
