Jinyi champion

Chapter 313 Shield

Before Zhu Hao entered the palace, before he reached the dormitory in the west courtyard, there was the sound of boots stomping on the ground behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Song and several guards chasing him in a hurry.

"Master Zhu, let's find it easier next time."

Lu Song heaved a sigh of relief after catching up with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao asked with a smile, "Why does Lu Dianzhan want me?"

Lu Song waved his hand and asked his subordinates to change shifts on their own, while he leaned forward and said after taking a breather, "Didn't you discuss with Mr. Tang to leave the examination room after finishing the government examination before noon? I'll wait before noon, wait." After half an hour, it wasn't until the people who released the platoon came out and heard their discussions that I realized that you had handed in the papers and appeared on the stage early in the morning... I hurriedly searched around again."

It is really rare to hear Lu Song complain.

The Lu Song that Zhu Hao usually sees is the type of old scalper who works hard in the ground, only panting for breath and not screaming, only now did he know that Lu Song also complained sometimes.

After asking in detail, I found out that Lu Song was called by Tang Yin early in the morning to wait for Wang Shouren at Shili Pavilion outside the city.

"Lu Dianzhan, you found me, what are you going to do next? You won't take me to the state office to find Mr. Tang?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Lu Song said: "That's not necessary. Mr. Tang guessed that you might return to the palace, so he asked someone to hold a banquet at Dongsheng Pavilion not far from the palace. You can go down with me."

Here, Lu Song didn't have time to rest, so a new group of guards followed, and took Zhu Hao to the restaurant.

……

……

It is naturally unusual to say that the palace paid for Tang Yin to host a banquet for distinguished guests.

Tianxing Prince's Mansion directly booked the entire Dongsheng Pavilion, and only entertained guests at the table of Tang Yin and Wang Shouren.

"Good name."

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Zhu Hao didn't rush in, and looked up. The windows on the second floor of Dongsheng Pavilion were all closed, and he couldn't detect He Guangjing inside from the outside.

When Lu Song saw the guards of the palace guarding the door, he knew that the place was right, and walked over and said, "Just pass it on, and say that I brought Young Master Zhu here."

"Yes."

The guard hurried upstairs to notify.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, this is quite formal, usually you, Lu Song, just take me up there, is this to save face for Wang Shouren?
Not like ah!
It should be to give Tang Yin face, so that Tang Yin's old friend Wang Shouren felt that Tang Yin received great courtesy in the palace and gave enough face.

This is how the palace will behave. It may be that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo have explained in advance that they must do so when Lu Song and others follow Tang Yin.

……

……

After passing the pass, the two went upstairs smoothly.

Lu Song was in front, and Zhu Hao followed. When they went upstairs, they saw two people sitting at a big round table in the middle.

In addition to Tang Yin, there is another forty-something old scholar with a weathered face, a little lethargic, and a goatee. At first glance, he looks a bit like Fan Yikuan, but when the other party looks directly at the direction of the stairs, the sharp His gaze, however, carried a murderous look like a sharp arrow, obviously different from that of a frail scholar like Tang Yin.

Zhu Hao originally thought that the other party would bring a lot of retinues, but unexpectedly he was alone, and he seemed to be going to the meeting alone. After all, it was not for nothing that Xing Wangfu entertained Wang Shouren.

"Zhu Hao is here? Come, come, let me introduce you, this is Wang Zhongcheng, the censor of the capital, and the governor of the southern Jiangxi state capital."

Tang Yin introduced with a smile.

Tang Yin didn't get up, so Wang Shouren naturally didn't need to stand up. After all, the person who came out of the stairs was not a big man. If someone was sent by the palace, even if it was Zhang Zuo, Wang Shouren would have to get up to greet him.

But it turned out to be a child...

Why is this?

"Bohu, who is he?"

Wang Shouren asked directly.

Wang Shouren himself is two years younger than Tang Yin. One of them was originally from Zhejiang and the other was from Nanzhili. Gotta be friends.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "This is the descendant of the Zhu family who lived in Changshou County, Anlu Prefecture. The only son of the late General Zhongyi...Zhu Hao."

When introducing him, Tang Yin didn't say that Zhu Hao was his disciple.

What a shame!
When a teacher asks his disciples for help every day, who will believe it if it is told?
Now that he wants to use Zhu Hao as a gunman, let Zhu Hao make up some excuses to deal with Wang Shouren, then he can no longer treat Zhu Hao as a junior, but as a peer, so that he, Tang Yin, will have the opportunity to hide behind and watch the fun.

When Zhu Hao heard the introduction, he thought to himself, the old boy must have been embarrassed by Wang Shouren many times in the morning, and he found it difficult to deal with, so he gave me a big compliment, and asked me to help you greet this contemporary who can't rub a little sand in his eyes Famous officials.

Tang Bohu, oh Tang Bohu, you are really insidious.

When Wang Shouren heard that Zhu Hao was a child of the Zhu family, a family of thousands of households in Jinyiwei, his face changed obviously.

This involves the fact that Wang Shouren was imprisoned in Beijing for offending Liu Jin in the early years of Zhengde. Only those who have experienced the difficulties of Dongchang and Jinyiwei will have a deep understanding of the methods of these two spy agencies.

It was a genuine fear.

Tang Yin obviously knew this too, so he took Zhu Hao's identity as an issue.

"It turned out to be the Empress of Zhongliang, respectable and respectable." Wang Shouren still didn't get up, but he cupped his hands slightly, which was regarded as giving a child enough attention.

Lu Song on the side didn't quite understand what was going on.

To say that this Wang Shouren is the most difficult to talk among officials he has ever seen. He is rigid and likes to make things difficult. He will not let go when he catches a question. How come seeing a child like Zhu Hao now, but showing a level of politeness that he had never seen in the morning?

"Lu Dianzhan, are you at the same table?"

Tang Yin was very polite, he smiled and asked Lu Song who was stunned beside him.

Lu Song hurriedly said: "I don't want to interrupt the conversation of the few, I will wait downstairs first, and just let me know if you have any orders."

"Ah."

Tang Yin nodded and watched Lu Song go downstairs.

Then Tang Yin recruited Zhu Hao directly: "Sit down."

To let a junior like Zhu Hao sit with the famous Wang Shouren, Zhu Hao thought to himself, don't you, Tang Yin, have ghosts in your heart...

This is no way to deal with Wang Shouren's pressing every step of the way. Even if the etiquette is messed up, you will not hesitate.

……

……

Wang Shouren's expression didn't change much.

Seeing Zhu Hao sitting down, he didn't mind too much. The other party was Zhongliang, and he came from a family of thousands of households in Jinyiwei. Where is the spy chief angry?There is really no need for that!

Tang Yin smiled and said: "Zhu Hao, in front of Wang Zhongcheng, please explain one thing clearly...Wang Zhongcheng has asked many times before, I can't explain it clearly, I can only let you explain it."

No nonsense, Tang Yin passed on the conflict when he came up.

Wang Shouren's face was slightly embarrassed: "Bohu, what are you talking about?"

"Haha, it's like this. Wang Zhongcheng rushed to Changshou County overnight, and arrived before dawn. He made some investigations on the battlefield outside the city, especially the destroyed enemy camp. He thought that the gunpowder used by the palace was unusually powerful, so I thought Find out what's going on."

Tang Yin's words were very direct.

This explains why he pushed Zhu Hao out as a shield when he came up, mainly because Wang Shouren pressed too hard.

Wang Shouren is a great military strategist, so naturally he will not be like those civil servants who have little knowledge of military affairs. He will believe whatever you say. Naturally, he has to investigate and verify it himself, and he likes to be more truthful.

After the on-site investigation, they found that the explosive power of the gunpowder was huge, so naturally they would not think it was ordinary black powder. The sulfur, saltpeter and other substances left on the ground after the explosion of the black powder could be easily identified...Wang Shouren, a leader with rich experience, easily made up Xing Wangfu lies exposed.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know."

You asked directly, and I answered more directly.

Tang Yin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, this kid... is quite cruel!

You just answered that you didn't know about the grand promotion before?
Do you think that I took all the trouble to find you just to fool the ghost?
Wang Shouren was listening, his tense face could not help but eased a little, and he looked at Tang Yin with a wry smile: "Bohu, what is going on?"

You find a child, even if he has a strong background, what does it have to do with my question about gunpowder?Just answer me directly, how can a naive child explain?
People have said it now, but they don’t know, so why don’t you explain it clearly?
Tang Yin felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, it was not Wang Shouren who choked him, but Zhu Hao, the little fellow.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that Zhu Hao and Wang Shouren were on the same team. Isn't this embarrassing?

Tang Yin stared at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, you know how much to say."

Those eyes seem to be threatening, if you dare to say that you don't know, I will reveal the whole truth and say that you made the powerful gunpowder.

Zhu Hao calmly said, "Mr. Tang, I haven't been to the battlefield in person, so I don't know what the gunpowder is, but I heard that it is so powerful that it blows up the bandit camp in one go, leaving limbs and arms all over the ground. It's very powerful after all. But I also heard that this thing is very dangerous, it is said that it was the gunpowder that was transported out of the city, it exploded halfway, and it even killed the guards of Xingwang's mansion... Is there such a thing?"

Tang Yin was taken aback.

This time Zhu Hao talked more.

It seemed to be explaining for him, but it was as if he hadn't said anything, and he actually asked him a question?
Am I asking you, or are you asking me?

But Tang Yin is not an ordinary person after all, he heard the point of Zhu Hao's question, he emphasized not how powerful the gunpowder is, but that it is difficult to control.

"Oh! That's what happened... Bo'an, I didn't tell you in detail before. The guards sent to attack the enemy camp at that time all went with the determination to die, but there were still some guards who accidentally caused death on the way. The gunpowder exploded, so that...it's a pity, the palace has paid compensation to his family..."

Tang Yin was able to actively study and understand Zhu Hao's spirit. He found that Zhu Hao's presence, although it didn't seem to have much practical significance, and would give him problems, but Wang Shouren finally had something to say, and he was able to deal with it with ease. .

Tang Yin's heart is like a mirror.

It doesn't matter if Zhu Hao makes things difficult, anyway, this kid makes things difficult for me every day, as long as he can keep Wang Shouren's mouth shut, I will be considered as completing the task entrusted by Xing Wangfu.
