Baihu said: "Yes, sir! Except for a small number of maids and servants, the rest are all our people! There is absolutely no problem in terms of safety!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said, "You, a department store clerk, are here to look after the door. Do you feel aggrieved?"
This hundred households naturally knew that Liu Haojia was joking with him, so he said with a smile: "This is not a grievance. This is a good thing that I can't ask for in a few lifetimes! Now this garden contains almost the entire Ming Dynasty's treasury, and there is still some leftover." !」
When Liu Haojia heard what he said was interesting, he smiled and said, "You are smart! Okay, guard the garden! Remember, no matter who comes, just follow the rules of our Jinyiwei, we don't have to sell anyone's face!" "
Hearing this, Baihu nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely comply with your orders! We will never lose the prestige of our Jinyiwei!"
Liu Haojia nodded and walked inside with absolute strides! He walked around the garden and found that the layout was indeed good! Especially the steward sent by the Duke's Mansion made a lot of changes to his ideas. Although the adjustments were not big, the effect was better! This made him even more sigh that aristocratic families have many talents!
As soon as it got dark, carriages and sedan chairs began to arrive one after another! The visitors held invitations and put them in after being inspected by the Jin Yiwei. However, according to the rules, each person can only bring one follower in! Everyone is incompetent about this matter and naturally follows the rules.
When it gets a little later, the location of the person coming will become much more important! And according to similar things, those who arrive first are those with lower status, and those who arrive last are those with higher status! This is the so-called unspoken rule used in officialdom! And the wonderful thing is that all the people who hang out in the officialdom seem to know who should arrive when without any agreement, and there is never any mistake!
At this time, a large sedan carried by four people came down to the gate of the garden with more than a dozen people shouting from behind! The accompanying maid opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and Shi Shiran walked out of a middle-aged man! Although this person is wearing casual clothes, his overall style is definitely not low!
This person is Xu Hongguo, the left minister of household affairs in Nanjing City! It wouldn't be that big of a deal to say that he was just a household minister in Nanjing, but this person had a great background! It's because he has a close cousin, the famous Xu Jie! So with the help of the Xu family, he was able to thrive in Nanjing!
When he got off the sedan, he saw the four lanterns hanging in front of the main entrance. When he saw the words "Beizhen Fusi" on them, he immediately snorted from his nose, snorted heavily and said, "What bad luck! "
After saying that, he strode toward the main entrance with his head held high and seven or eight people in tow. There was a personal attendant in front of him who had already stepped forward quickly and showed the invitation to the captain of the Imperial Guard who was guarding the door! According to Xu Hongguo's past habits, he doesn't have to slow down anywhere, he just strides in! But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived in front of the door, he was stopped by a military captain in uniform with his hand raised!
Xu Hongguo himself was a pure scholar, so naturally he never had a good impression of Jin Yiwei! Now that a mere school captain dared to stop him, he was naturally very displeased! With his status, there was no way he could argue with a captain, so he just stopped and looked up at the sky, leaving the rest to his personal followers.
This personal attendant was used to doing similar things. When he saw his master being stopped, he immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted at the captain: "What are you doing? Why are you stopping my master? Why don't you get out of here!"
If it had been in the past, this captain might have really retired. But it's different now. There are commanders here, and they don't dare to disobey orders! On the other hand, the arrest of the salt merchants and officials completely revived the morale of the Jinyiwei and made them remember one thing again! That is, their Jinyiwei are the nemesis of officials, and officials should be afraid of them! Read the book
So the captain narrowed his eyes and looked at the arrogant entourage and said, "The invitation clearly states that each invitation holder can only bring one person in! It's impossible for all seven or eight of you to go in!"
The personal attendant said loudly and aggressively: "Do you know who my master is? My master is the left minister of household affairs in Nanjing! When can I only take one person to the garden? My master can't afford to lose that person!"
No matter how loudly he shouted, the captain continued unmoved: "Every invitation holder
Only one person can enter, no one else can enter! "
This personal attendant became irritable when he heard the captain's words! In the past, he used Xu Hongguo's power to get things done without any disadvantage! Today, I suffered a defeat from a little captain, so I naturally refused to give up! So he pointed at the captain's nose and cursed!
The captains nearby also gathered around when they saw this! However, it was only a short time for them to build up their confidence, and they did not dare to make any big moves. They just stopped these people and prevented them from breaking in!
At this time, five or six sedans arrived one after another, and many people got off! These people saw Xu Hongguo's personal entourage quarreling with Jin Yiwei. Not only did they not mean to dissuade them, but they gathered together and pointed, clearly fearing that the world would not be in chaos! It seems that these people are probably also from the civil service lineage and have a natural hostility towards Jin Yiwei!
And when the attendant saw someone coming, he became bolder and even called two servants to rush in! Just then, I heard someone shouting from inside the gate: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
Following the words, two people walked out of the garden. The one walking quickly in front was Baihu, who was in charge of guarding! Following behind was Liu Haojia, who had come out in a circle and was getting ready to welcome the important guests! However, he did not step forward because he felt that Baihu had handled the matter enough.
Seeing Baihu and the commander arriving, the captain hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, the person here is Mr. Xu, the left servant of Nanjing Household Department! They don't follow the rules and want to bring seven or eight servants into the garden, so The subordinates stopped them! But Mr. Xu’s personal followers are still causing trouble here!”
Baihu stepped forward and took the request for an audience from the captain's hand, looked through it, and then raised his hand and said to this one: "Master Xu! The request for an audience is very clear, because there are too many guests, and it is impossible to receive so many people at the same time. This rule is not specifically for Mr. Xu! Please be considerate of your personality."
But Xu Hongguo had no intention of talking to him because he saw Liu Haojia standing on the steps with his hands behind his back! He naturally recognized that this person was the new commander of the Jin Yiwei, so he felt that this was a good opportunity to make himself famous in the world!
