Lin Sheng glanced at me, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Zhang Ying has become famous in one battle!" My face heated up, but I was still thinking about Mu Shigu's safety in my heart, and whispered: "Where, where, belongs to In front of my father-in-law and hundreds of adults, he is just a trivial person, nothing worth mentioning! How did you deal with that person?" Of course I was talking about Mu Shigu, and the two of them would understand.
Xue Shen looked at me, then at Lin Sheng, and said, "This person is of great importance. I think it's better to escort him back to the capital." Lin Sheng shook his head and said, "The Mu family is the direct disciple of Sichuan Sword Sect, which can be found in all southwestern provinces. Branch, they haven’t set foot in the Central Plains for many years. When they came here this time, they were said to have contacted the Tie family. I don’t know what they want to do! I don’t think he can come to the capital alone. There must be other people taking care of each other. It might as well Keep him under temporary custody in the Dongchang Prison, which is heavily guarded. Eunuch Ding is very skilled in martial arts, and with the presence of your Jinyi Guards, ordinary people cannot easily enter. You can interrogate him there, and then move to the capital when the time is right."
Xue Shen thought for a while and said: "What my father-in-law said is that I am also worried about problems on the way to escort, so I might as well leave it there. I have to ask my father-in-law to arrange this matter. I heard that most people can't get close to Dongchang Prison." Lin Sheng Hehe smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter! The name of the supervising eunuch is Ding Dai. He is good in both martial arts and character." Xue Shen nodded and said: "When I was in Nanjing, I studied various sects. This sword The Menmu family is indeed a rising star in the past few years. It is said that some of their ancestors served as imperial eunuchs in the court, and Emperor Taizu even gave him an iron coupon with an alchemy book. It seems that the credit should be considerable, but later Emperor Taizong Jingnan, There was no news about the Mu family. They must have hated Taizong and caused trouble, so the family moved to Sichuan. Naturally, they felt resentful. For a hundred and eighty years, several generations of people had been dormant in the wild and gradually stopped taking the right path. "
Lin Sheng smiled and patted Xue Shen on the back and said: "You are a rising star. It is really rare to be able to pay attention to this. Our family has always been worried that this Mu family is from Yunnan Mu Mansion. Now that you have investigated clearly, our family Don’t worry, otherwise our family cannot afford to offend our hereditary nobles.”
Mu Ying, the ancestor of the Mu family of the Prince of Qianning in Yunnan, was the adopted son of Emperor Taizu. He followed General Fu Youde and others to pacify Yunnan. When the army returned, Mu Ying stayed and became the Marquis of Xiping. After his death, he was granted the title of Prince of Guizhou. King Ning, hereditary, stationed troops in Liuying and governed the southwest of the town. It was the barrier of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest. Now it has been passed down to Mu Kun, who is the Duke of Guizhou. Among the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, there were many hereditary princes and princes, but there were very few of them, such as the Mu family, who had both titles and commanded troops. It was probably because the Zhu family trusted the Mu family.
Xue Shen said: "My father-in-law, I'm sorry. I'm very lucky if my father-in-law doesn't blame me for breaking the promise." The two looked at each other and smiled. I gradually understood that Lin Sheng had been waiting for Xue Shen to come to help, but Xue Shen went to find Mu Shigu. Lin Sheng gave me the impression that he was a very serious person, but he seemed extremely tolerant in front of Xue Shen, probably because Xue Shen was a relative of the emperor. As for the affairs of the Mu family, he probably gave Xue Shen a few words!
Lin Sheng said: "Now at the beginning of the new dynasty, the emperor is young, and many people are beginning to be dishonest. There are both foreign barbarians and internal troubles. These are not of concern, but there must be no chaos within the Xiaoqiang. The peaceful and prosperous age created by Mr. Hongzhi, We still have to protect it."
Xue Shen smiled and said: "What my father-in-law said is that when a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always enforced the law impartially. As long as there is conclusive evidence, anyone can be arrested."
Lin Sheng nodded and said: "Dongchang is inseparable from Jin Yiwei. Over the years, I don't know how many great things have been done. Xue Baihu, with such knowledge, is indeed a young hero with a bright future! How many dandy children, whose fathers wore stars and moons, stood up and He made great military exploits, but did not know how to cherish them. He violated the laws and regulations, and in the lightest case, he was dismissed from office, and in the worst case, his family was confiscated and his family was exterminated. Emperor Hongwu never grudged his meritorious service, and he gave gold medals to avoid death to many people. It is a pity that these people did not understand the kindness of Emperor Hongwu. Careful and domineering, in the end the family is ruined. What a pity, what a pity! A man is born in this world, and building a career is the right way. Isn't it a pity that he plays life and dies among women and children!?" The two of them spoke with heroic spirit, even It was a mutual sympathy, and I couldn't say anything, so I just smiled and listened.
In fact, I want to know more about Mushigu and pay attention to his injury. Although I have only met him a few times, and we have even fought, when I am with him, I really feel a heroic spirit. . That kind of heroic spirit may be the atmosphere!
But I didn’t ask Xue Shen. First of all, he is my boss. Jin Yiwei’s rule is not to ask too many questions. If you ask too much, you will get a lot of things. Secondly, Lin Sheng was present, and he also attached great importance to Mu Shigu, but Xue Shen didn’t say much. , it is estimated that Lin Sheng will continue to ask.
I kept waiting, but they didn't say anything anymore and just finished their meal in silence. Shopkeeper Qiu enthusiastically brought tea again, and we had a few sips. Lin Sheng said: "The matter in the palace is urgent. Xue Baihu knows it, right? We must enter the palace before dark, so stop talking and set off immediately." ."
Xue Shen nodded and said: "Of course, Jin Yiwei Fei Ge sent a message asking me to go back quickly, we will leave immediately!" Lin Sheng suddenly smiled and said: "I wonder which side Xue Baihu is on?"
Xue Shen glanced at me, and Lin Sheng smiled and said: "He is not an outsider!" Xue Shen shook his head and said: "My father-in-law thinks too much. What I mean is that, like Zhang Ying, I have just arrived in the capital and have a good relationship with my father-in-law. , I naturally rely on my father-in-law!"
Lin Sheng laughed loudly, nodded repeatedly, but said solemnly: "Actually, we are all our own people. Let's sit down and talk about it. If there is anything that cannot be solved, we have lost our status by arguing with each other. Now I heard that we are going to The confrontation between swords and guns is too hurtful!"
Xue Shen nodded and said: "As subordinates, we really don't know how to deal with it, but if we follow my father-in-law, we can't go wrong!" Lin Sheng frowned slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Our family is also worried. You Have you ever been in the palace?" Lin Sheng probably wanted to ask about Zhengde's attitude, but Xue Shen shook his head and said, "Although I have some relatives of the emperor, I feel ashamed to say that in my life, I have never seen the emperor once." Lin Shengruo thought thoughtfully, nodded and said: "That's it for now, let's just be more careful. However, people always have to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Although Beijing is pressing hard, we can also wait and see!" What they said! , I was even more confused after hearing this, but I also knew that something big must have happened.
We left Taibai Residence. It was just after noon and the surroundings were quiet. We got on the horse and had just walked a few steps when we saw Hardy galloping towards me. He must have come from the direction of Juyongguan, and he must have been looking for me. He didn't want me to stop at Taibaiju and miss me. He saw us from a distance, but did not come directly. Lin Sheng looked at me and said, "He is your subordinate, and he must have something to do with you. Xue Baihu, let's go first." Xue Shen nodded, and Lin Sheng said to me again He said, "When you return to the capital, go directly to Mr. Liao."
I nodded repeatedly and sent the two of them away. Hardy got off his horse and walked to the side. He was panting and his face was covered with sweat. It must have been a lot of running. I hurriedly dismounted and couldn't help but hug him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, third brother!"
Hardy took a few breaths and said with tears in his eyes: "Second brother, something happened!"
Hardy returned to the capital early in the morning and passed Juyong Pass smoothly. He didn't want to meet a few people riding horses and wearing black clothes on the way. They were veiled and wearing weapons. One of them was a woman. Hardy was in a hurry to return to the capital, so he didn't pay attention and hurriedly passed behind them. Unexpectedly, when these people saw Hardy, they chased him and threatened to rob him on the road.
Hardy was very angry and revealed his identity, but the other party was not only not afraid, but also laughed at Hardy for being dark and thin. Hardy was angry and started fighting with them. These people were very capable, and Hardy was quickly defeated. .
These people did not really steal money, they just handed over their weapons and asked Hardy where he was going and what he was doing. Hardy kept silent, and these people did not make it difficult for Hardy and asked him to follow them. They were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and guarded them closely. Hardy had no choice but to follow them another way, about twenty miles away, and saw the foot of the Great Wall. But we stopped in a small village.
There was someone they were escorting there. Before Hardy entered the village, he was blindfolded with a silk scarf. Hardy heard the villagers calling the woman "Miss". He was taken to an empty room and his blindfold was removed. The people didn't ask him anything, they just locked him up. The small house only had one window, which let in light, but it was very high from the ground, so it was impossible to see what was going on outside.
