Everyone immediately expressed their disbelief! Liu Haojia sneered and said, "Let's see if you dare to do it! Okay, let's go our separate ways!"
It’s no wonder Liu Haojia insists on doing this! Because salt merchants have many eyes and ears in the court, if the Jinyi Guards were to mobilize in large numbers, the news from Jiangnan might not have been sent to the salt merchants before! Moreover, Jin Yiwei has just experienced an internal fight. It is a time when the whole country is paying attention, so naturally we must be careful with our colleagues!
After Liu Haojia left the Yamen, the news that Jin Yiwei was about to undergo training spread immediately! This was all news he took the initiative to release. But fortunately, you have taken care of the training of Nanzhen Fusi, so no one has any doubts! But there were still many people looking around for news, and they were relieved to find that a large number of Jin Yiwei had entered the camp outside the city! Among them are spies sent by people close to the salt merchants!
Those salt merchants were not stupid either. They knew that Liu Haojia and them had reached the point where they were determined to fight to the death. How could they not keep a close eye on him? So this trick has concealed it from those who inquired about the news!
Seven days later, Liu Haojia counted the number of people at the Tianjin Naval Camp. Sure enough, everyone was fully staffed! We also received secret reports from various places, saying that these people had not discovered any contact with the outside world! Then he took the people directly onto the ship and set sail to Jiangnan!
More than ten days later, the side entrance of Xu Guogong's Mansion in Nanjing was bustling with people queuing up. These people are all people who come to the Xu Guogong Mansion to do business! There are also many people who want to see Duke Xu, but they have not been summoned and can only wait here!
At this time, three people dressed as escorts walked past the crowd and walked directly to the side door. Many people in the queue had expressions on their faces that were watching the fun!
This Xu Guogong Mansion is the founder of the country. It is extremely noble and has won the trust of all emperors! The Xu Guogong family also acted cautiously and were loyal to the emperor, so they were extremely powerful. It was even more difficult to ask for an audience! So everyone wanted to see how these three people were dismissed by the disciples!
But these three people didn't stop and walked directly towards the door where they were basking in the sun! Menzi heard someone coming forward, opened his eyes, looked at the three of them, and said impatiently: "Who do you want to see in the house?"
The leading escort said in a deep voice, "I want to see the Duke!"
The disciple sneered and said, "How can the Duke be so easy to see?" After saying that, he looked at the three of them and said, "It seems that you are just bodyguards, but your clothes are quite new! But even though they are wearing Even if you wear new clothes, you are not qualified to meet the Duke! Go! Go!"
The people lining up around laughed out loud when they heard Menzi’s words! I can’t enter my house for the time being, so it’s good to watch the excitement. It’s nothing to do anyway!
But the leading escort didn't say anything. You just took out a name card from your arms and handed it over with one hand! When the man saw the name card, he stretched out his right hand to take it, and at the same time said: "Why are you so rude? You and others' name cards were handed over with one hand! This warrior is really vulgar!"
After speaking, he casually opened the name card and glanced at it, and then he jumped up from the chair as if he had been stung by a scorpion! In an instant, his waist was bent almost to the level of the ground, and his face was filled with smiles. He kept saying, "So it's you who are here! The prince has already taken care of you, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly! Please come in quickly." ! Please come inside! I will go and report to the Crown Prince immediately!"
The reason why this sect is arrogant at first and respectful at the end is because the name post clearly says: Marquis Wu Ning of the Ming Dynasty, Commander of the Imperial Guards, Liu Haojia!
So no need to ask, the person coming is Liu Haojia. I'm just disguising myself to avoid leaking the news! I saw Liu Haojia lifting his legs and walking inside, while whispering: "Remember! Your father-in-law is also a warrior!".
Naturally, Menzi agreed repeatedly! By the way, I bowed and led him to the door! Then arrange for someone to send Liu Haojia directly to the flower hall. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked out, sat down on the chair and breathed heavily!
The people outside the door were very surprised when they saw the excitement, but they also guessed that one of the three people probably had a high status! Either that or the person behind the famous post is very powerful! So someone asked, "Master Liu, who came in just now? Whose name card did you get?"
Naturally, this person didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he turned back and said: "Go! Go! You know nothing! You ask about everything. I don't know."
Disaster comes from the mouth! "
The little commotion in front of the door was forgotten and no one cared about it. After all, similar things happen every three to five months!
After Liu Haojia was introduced into the flower hall, a beautiful maid brought tea and snacks! He was a little thirsty on the way here, so he drank the tea without any ceremony!
As soon as I drank a cup of hot tea, I heard footsteps coming! The maid opened the door curtain and two people, an old man and a middle school man, came in! The old man is naturally the current Duke Xu, and the middle-aged man behind him is dressed as a scholar. He must be an aide or something like that!
Liu Haojia saw Xu Guogong come in and hurriedly put down his tea cup, stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying, "Junior, I have met the Duke of the State. I hope you are well, the Duke of the State!"
After returning the salute, Xu Guogong said with a smile: "The last time I saw you was a few years ago. At that time, I knew that you were not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that you would become the commander so soon! It seems that I am still old-fashioned. No fainting!"
Xu Guogong has a distinguished status and high seniority, so he is naturally more casual in his address. It's normal to use the word "you" when referring to Liu Haojia, and it also looks friendly!
When Liu Haojia heard what Xu Guogong said, he smiled and said: "Of course the Duke of Guo is not dim-sighted! You are my Ming Dynasty's Dinghai Shenzhen. Long live the Lord is still counting on you to select good talents for him!"
The two went back and forth and praised each other for a long time. Although this kind of courtesy is annoying, it really has to be said! After the two sat down, Xu Guogong smelled the aroma of tea and said directly to the maid behind him: "You people are doing a bad job! How can you serve this distinguished guest with this kind of tea? Go to the study and get the tea I drank. !」
The maid agreed and left. Duke Xu Guogong turned around and said, "Chongen, I already know your purpose of coming! Moreover, I have also read the Holy Lord's decree and handwritten letter. Even Zhang Shoufu also sent me a letter! It's just that I have I don’t understand the key points yet, so I need you to explain it to me! After all, if you provoke those salt merchants without a complete plan, I’m afraid there will be endless troubles!”
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "This junior knows what the Duke is thinking. He is simply afraid that arresting those salt merchants will affect the sales of salt in various places, which will in turn cause dissatisfaction among the people and even unrest among the people! The second is that these salt merchants collude with the government and secret forces It’s huge and can easily suffer backlash! Is that right?”
