Chapter 166 Someone Moved the Soldiers and Horses of the Beijing Camp 【Order】

Gu Dayong glared at Qiu Ju and said: "Shut up, Your Majesty is fine now, if people hear what you say, be careful to be caught by others."

Qiu Ju's complexion changed slightly, he looked outside, and looked towards Gu Dayong with some gratitude on his face.

Gao Feng sighed lightly and said, "Do you think this incident has anything to do with Brother Liu Jin?"

Gu Dayong and Qiu Ju looked at each other.

Qiu Ju frowned and said: "In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Jin to do such a thing, but now everything points to Liu Jin, I'm afraid Liu Jin will really have a hard time saying it this time."

Gu Dayong sneered and said, "The more you point at Liu Jin, the less suspicious Liu Jin will be. It's a pity that Liu Jin will be very sad this time with such a big mistake."

Just when Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, and Gao Feng were talking about Liu Jin, Liu Jin was mobilizing all connections in the mansion, trying every means to inquire about the news in the palace.

Unable to contact the emperor, especially after he learned that Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and even Fei Hong, Mao Ji and others had entered the palace, Liu Jin became more and more uneasy.

At this moment, Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and the others had already dispersed. Liu Jin was ordered by the Queen Mother to confine her in the mansion, which made Liu Jin crazy, but there was nothing she could do.

However, Liu Jin was also Zeng Quanqing's existence at any rate, and his connections can be said to be everywhere. Even if Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and others tried their best to block the news about the emperor's assassination, but as the cabinet began to mobilize the three divisions to investigate the case, Liu Jin finally Got the message.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of Liu Jin, and said to Liu Jin with a bit of panic on his face: "Godfather, something happened, this time it really happened."

This person is a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who is attached to Liu Jin, but this person has not been attached to Liu Jin for a long time, and not many people know about it.

Not long ago, Yang Tinghe mobilized people from the Ministry of Punishment, and this person happened to find out some news. When this person learned that Yang Tinghe mobilized people from the Third Division Yamen to investigate his godfather Liu Jin, this person immediately came to see Liu Jin.

Liu Jin glanced at that person, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart, but she still tried her best to keep calm, looked at him and said, "Say, what's going on?"

The man looked at Liu Jin and said, "Godfather, today Yang Tinghe ordered several people from the Ministry of Punishment to join the Third Division Yamen and enter the palace together, saying that they want to investigate you, godfather."

With a bang, Liu Jin slapped the desk case with a face full of anger and panic.

Glancing at the official from the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Jin took a deep breath and said, "Is there anything else?"

The man shook his head, Liu Jin waved his hand and said: "Go down, remember to ask me for news at any time, if you have any news, report it immediately, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."

Watching the official leave, Liu Jin finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a wave of his long sleeves, he appeared in the living room, where the teacup shattered and even the seat fell to the ground.

After venting, Liu Jin screamed with a ferocious expression: "Come here, come here for our family."

Soon, a figure appeared silently, his figure was as fast as a ghost, and he just bowed down in front of Liu Jin.

"Boss!"

Liu Jin glanced at the man, with a sparkle in his eyes, and said, "Liu Xi, with your strength, is it possible to sneak into the palace and find out about His Majesty for me?"

When Liu Xi heard the words, he immediately said: "Don't worry, the chief, with the strength of a slave, it is not difficult to sneak into the palace quietly, but if you want to get close to His Majesty, I'm afraid..."

Liu Jin shook his head and said: "You don't have to approach His Majesty, but you can go to find Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, and even Ma Yongcheng, what happened in the imperial city, and what happened to Your Majesty, others don't know. But it is absolutely impossible for Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, and Ma Yongcheng to not know about it."

Liu Xi bowed to Liu Jin, "Your servant understands."

Liu Jin waved his hand and said, "Get up, you must be careful when you go, and don't reveal your whereabouts, otherwise, if someone finds out, you should understand what to do."

Liu Xi said in a deep voice, "Your servant understands."

If he sneaked into the palace like him, it's fine if he doesn't get discovered. Once he is discovered, there is only one end.

In the imperial city, in a side hall, the atmosphere seemed rather dignified.

Headed by cabinet minister Yang Tinghe, officials from Fei Hong, Mao Ji, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all present.

More than a dozen senior officials can almost represent the opinions of the third division.

At this time, Yang Tinghe sat there, and the rest of the officials took their seats.

Fei Hong looked at the crowd and said excitedly, "Everyone, your Majesty was assassinated this time, and all signs point to the eunuch Liu Jin. It can be said that this is our last attempt to get rid of Liu Jin, a great eunuch who has ruined the country and the people." A good opportunity, if you miss this time, it will not be so easy to find such a good opportunity."

Peng Guang, the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, stroked his beard, his eyes also shone with excitement and said: "I have just checked the backgrounds of the maids who served His Majesty, and they were all sent by Liu Jin a few years ago. For the palace, let alone other things, Liu Jin will not be able to get rid of the suspicion just because of this point."

A censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate smiled and said, "Whether it's Liu Jin or not, if the final result comes out, it must be Liu Jin."

At this moment, a doctor from the criminal department was flipping through a document, and suddenly said: "If you want to make this case an iron case, you need to take one person down, as long as this person insists that Liu Jin is the one who did it." Because, together with the testimony of those court ladies, even if His Majesty wakes up, Liu Jin will have no choice but to die."

Hearing what the doctor of the Ministry of punishment said, Peng Guang couldn't help being surprised and said, "Geng Li, who are you talking about?"

Geng Li smiled slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, he patted the document and said: "Everyone only knows that Liu Jinjin dedicated these maids to His Majesty, but they never thought who helped Liu Jin to collect them."

Peng Guang subconsciously said: "Qian Ning, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, if I remember correctly, it is Jinyiwei Qian Ning who specially took Liu Jin's order to go to the south of the Yangtze River in order to curry favor with Liu Jin. into the palace."

Geng Li chuckled lightly and said, "That's right, it's Qian Ning. We just need to take Qian Ning down and force him to bite Liu Jin, then even if Liu Jin wants to throw the blame at that time, he won't be able to shake it off."

Fei Hong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "That's right, if he Liu Jin wants to push Qian Ning out as a scapegoat, we'll cut off his way to survive by cutting off his tail first, and then we have nothing to say about keeping him. "

As he spoke, Fei Hong looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Mr. Yang Ge, please give me an order to order the Jinyiwei Yamen to hand over Qian Ning."

Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "The old man will write a warrant in person, and then ask Shi Wenyi to bring him here."

Jinyiwei Yamen

Compared with the previous leisurely, the atmosphere of Jinyiwei's yamen is quite dignified at this moment.

With Jin Yiwei's news channel, how could he not detect the changes in the imperial city.

The most important thing is that the emperor's bodyguards were in charge of guarding the imperial city, and the imperial city guards were personally selected from among the bodyguards.

Even the commander in charge of the guards in the imperial city is also a member of their Jinyiwei, but not long ago, the commander of the guards suddenly disappeared.

Even the news in the imperial city was suddenly cut off. In a word, the news in the imperial city was completely cut off. Even Jin Yiwei couldn't get news from the imperial city for a while.

Shi Wenyi sat on the main seat, looking at the subordinates.

Although everyone knew that the commander of Jinyiwei would definitely belong to Li Huan in the future, but Shi Wenyi was still sitting in this seat at the moment.

Qian Ning, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and others looked at Shi Wenyi with anticipation in their eyes.

Their Jinyiwei actually cut off the connection with the imperial city. This is not normal in itself. As a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, if they do nothing at this time, it is the biggest dereliction of duty of their Jinyiwei. No matter what else, at least contact them first The Son of Heaven is.

Sensing the eyes of his subordinates, Shi Wenyi couldn't help showing a wry smile. Based on his many years of experience, he had already seen that there might be a major event in the imperial city, and it might even be related to the emperor. News from within the city.

Because of Qian Ning's hugging Liu Jin's thigh in the past two years, although he has not been able to advance step by step, he has managed to live in Jinyiwei.

The most important thing is that after Li Huan took control of Jinyiwei, in order to avoid irritating Liu Jin, he did not deliberately suppress Liu Jin, which gave Qian Ning some influence in Jinyiwei.

At this moment, Qian Ning looked at Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Commander, shouldn't we do nothing?"

Shi Wenyi couldn't help but glared at Qian Ning and said, "Oh, according to Qian Qianhu, what should we do?"

Qian Ning subconsciously said: "Naturally, I will send someone to ask to see His Majesty, as long as I can see His Majesty..."

Shi Wenyi sneered and said, "Even Eunuch Liu Jin was ordered by the Queen Mother to confine his feet in the mansion. Do you think our Jinyiwei people have the virtue and ability to enter the imperial city to see His Majesty?"

Zhao Yi and Chen Ke sat there without saying a word. It can be said that they have been under great pressure these days.

Others don't know what happened in the palace, but because the two of them had received the news from Qiu Ju, they knew about the assassination of the emperor in the palace.

But with such a big news, the two little Jinyiwei Qianhu didn't dare to do anything other than send someone to inform Li Huan as quickly as possible, and they didn't even dare to say anything.

At this moment, a group of people appeared outside the Jinyiwei yamen, and it was Geng Li, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, leading a group of Jingying soldiers.

The captain guarding the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen stopped him immediately and shouted: "Who is here? This is the important place of the Jinyiwei Yamen."

Because of Li Huan's dominance, Jin Yiwei had a little more confidence in facing court officials in the past two years.

Seeing that it was only a doctor who came, the two captains of Jinyiwei naturally didn't take it seriously. As for the soldiers of the Beijing camp, to be honest, Jinyiwei really looked down on them.

Geng Li sneered, and shouted in a deep voice: "I am following the order of Elder Yang Ge to see Commander Shi Wenyi, and the two of you should pass it on quickly."

The two Jinyiwei captains looked at each other, looked at Geng Li, and immediately said: "Wait!"

Soon one of them quickly entered the Yamen.

In the yamen, Shi Wenyi couldn't help frowning looking at the school captain who came in a hurry: "What's the matter?"

The school captain immediately said: "My lord, a person came from outside the yamen and brought a team of soldiers from the Beijing camp. He said he was following the order of Elder Yang Ge to see you."

Shi Wenyi's complexion couldn't help changing when he heard the words, and he exclaimed: "The person here brought the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp?"

The captain nodded and said, "Exactly."

Shi Wenyi took a deep breath, his complexion changed, and he said, "Invite someone here, no... I'd better go see him in person."

Ordinarily, with Shi Wenyi's identity, a mere doctor of the Ministry of Punishment is really not qualified for him to meet in person, but at the moment Shi Wenyi is a little uncertain.

All of a sudden there was no news from the imperial city. At this moment, a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment actually appeared in their Jinyiwei yamen with a team of Beijing soldiers and horses. Shi Wenyi couldn't help being nervous about what happened.

When Shi Wenyi appeared at the gate of Jinyiwei Yamen, he saw Geng Li and the group of soldiers from the Beijing camp behind him.

Seeing Shi Wenyi appear, Geng Li cupped his hands at Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Shi, Geng Li, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, I have met Commander-in-Chief."

Shi Wenyi smiled slightly and said, "I don't know that Mr. Geng came to see me, but what's the matter?"

As he said that, Shi Wenyi stared at Geng Li, as if he wanted to see some signs from Geng Li's expression.

It's just that Geng Li's expression was indifferent, and he was completely businesslike, making it difficult to see his intentions.

Only Geng Li said indifferently: "Under the order of the old man, I am here to arrest the suspect Jin Yiwei Qianhu Qian Ning, please let the commander make it easier."

Shi Wenyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in astonishment: "What are you talking about, you want to arrest the suspect Qian Ning?"

Geng Li nodded and said: "That's right, Qian Ning is involved in a major case, Mr. Yang Ge personally ordered him to be arrested, and cooperate with the investigation. I don't know what the Commander thinks?"

Shi Wenyi frowned and said, "Is there any order from His Majesty?"

Whether the officials of Jinyiwei were appointed or dismissed or punished, they had to be approved by the emperor. After all, they were different from ordinary officials, and they belonged only to the emperor's army.

If whoever comes here can arrest the Jinyiwei's people, then what kind of emperor's army are they.

What's more, Qian Ning is not an ordinary Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, a hundred households, etc., no matter how you say it, he is an official of a thousand households with real power.

In their Jinyiwei yamen, there are only a few real powerful thousand households. Now Geng Li wants to take away a Jinyiwei real powerful thousand household officer to cooperate with the investigation. If Shi Wenyi agrees casually, then he, the Jinyiwei commander I'm afraid I can't sit down anymore.

Geng Li saw that Shi Wenyi actually asked him for the emperor's will. Now that the emperor is still alive or dead, where can he get the emperor's will?

Seeing that Geng Li's complexion became a little unsightly, he said, "Could it be that Mr. Yang Ge's order is not acceptable?"

Shi Wenyi took a deep breath, his face was full of embarrassment, he glanced behind him, then walked towards Geng Li, and whispered to Geng Li: "Mr. Yang Ge is making it difficult for me, Jin Yiwei is the son of heaven The army involved a powerful official with thousands of households, if there is no order from His Majesty, even Yang Ge will not be able to do it."

The movement at the gate of the yamen naturally alarmed Qian Ning, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and other senior officials of Jinyiwei.

These people have arrived at the door now.

Chen Ke glanced at Geng Li and his party, then his eyes fell on Shi Wenyi who looked embarrassed and said: "Master Commander, I don't know why this person is here?"

Li Huan left the capital, and among the Jinyiwei, although Chen Ke and Zhao Yi were said to be officials of a thousand households, they were equivalent to Li Huan's spokespersons, so even in front of Shi Wenyi, they still had some right to speak .

Shi Wenyi smiled wryly and explained: "This Geng Langzhong was ordered to come to ask Qian Ning to cooperate with the investigation. I am discussing with Geng Langzhong."

Qian Ning didn't expect that these people came running towards him. His complexion changed, his eyes fell on Geng Li and he said: "This Mr. Geng, I don't know what crime Qian has committed, and he wants me to cooperate with the investigation? "

Geng Li glanced at Qian Ning lightly and said: "There is no need for Qian Qianhu to take care of this. I am here on orders. I just ask Commander Shi Wenyi whether he is willing to cooperate with the cabinet's orders."

Speaking of which, Geng Li didn't care how ugly Qian Ning's complexion became, and stared straight at Shi Wenyi, even with a hint of threat in his eyes.

All of a sudden, Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and even the officials of Jin Yiwei all looked at Shi Wenyi.

Just like what Shi Wenyi said before, the Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army. Without the emperor's will, outsiders normally have no right to take away the officials of the Jinyiwei to cooperate with the investigation.

But rules are rules, and there are some workarounds. If Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyiwei, is willing to withstand the pressure from the cabinet, then naturally no one can take Qian Ning away.

However, if Shi Wenyi, the commander, is unwilling to offend the cabinet, there is still a workaround to hand over Qian Ning to the other party and take him away.

So everything depends on Shi Wenyi's attitude. Shi Wenyi is strong enough, so no one can take Qian Ning away.

Qian Ning also looked at Shi Wenyi, but his heart was full of bitterness. For some reason, Qian Ning suddenly missed Li Huanlai.

In such a situation, if Li Huan was in Shi Wenyi's seat, to be honest, even though there was a little bit of quarrel between him and Li Huan, Qian Ning firmly believed that Li Huan would never let anyone take him away .

But for Shi Wenyi, Qian Ning really didn't have much confidence.

Seeing Shi Wenyi with a hesitant look on his face, a sneer appeared on the corner of Geng Li's mouth, and he took a step forward and said to Shi Wenyi: "Master Shi, you must know that this case was personally ordered by the Empress Dowager to be supervised by the old man, that is to say, This case is not only stared at by Mr. Ge, but also by the Queen Mother..."

Hearing Geng Li's words, Shi Wenyi's breath tightened, and now Zhao Yi looked at Shi Wenyi and said, "Master Commander, please don't agree."

Chen Ke also said: "Jin Yiwei is the emperor's army, unless there is His Majesty's will, no one has the right to arrest a Jin Yiwei."

Shi Wenyi gave a wry smile, his eyes fell on Qian Ning and said, "Qian Ning, you have also seen it, it's not that I don't want to protect you, it's that I can't do anything."

Qian Ning glanced at Shi Wenyi indifferently, his heart sank, he knew that Shi Wenyi was unreliable, and sure enough, the other party brought out the queen mother and Mr. Ge, and immediately suppressed Shi Wenyi.

He glanced at the group of Jingying soldiers behind Geng Li, and now he noticed Qian Ning's gaze, Chen Ke couldn't help frowning and gave Qian Ning a hand, and shook his head slightly at Qian Ning.

Qian Ning's thoughts changed, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, then Qian will accompany Mr. Geng to the end. Qian has a clear conscience, and he is not afraid of others to investigate."

As he spoke, Qian Ning cupped his hands towards Chen Ke and Zhao Yi and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, thank you!"

With so many people present, only Chen Ke and Zhao Yi spoke for him. No matter what the result was, Qian Ning had remembered their friendship.

Geng Li sneered and said, "Qian Qianhu, please!"

Everyone just watched Qian Ning being surrounded by a group of Jingying soldiers. Although he said that he was not in shackles, he looked like a prisoner and was taken away!

Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and the others turned their eyes away, and looked at Shi Wenyi again, with extremely complicated expressions in their eyes.

How could Shi Wenyi not feel the disappointment and alienation in the eyes of everyone looking at him, but he was also very helpless.

He really doesn't have the confidence to follow Li Huan's example and fight against the cabinet. He has a family and a family, with seniors and juniors.If he really had the guts of Li Huan, he probably wouldn't let Li Huan, who has no foundation in Jinyiwei, win over so many people in Jinyiwei in such a short period of time.

The news that Qian Ning was taken away to cooperate with the investigation quickly spread throughout Jinyiwei, causing quite a commotion in the entire Jinyiwei yamen.

Chen Ke was busy with official business, when a confidant Baihu beside him said in a low voice: "My lord, has Qianning Qianhu really been taken away?"

Chen Ke glanced at the other party and said, "Isn't he being arrested, is he cooperating with the investigation?"

Perhaps it was because of Chen Ke's confidant, the hundred households said with a bit of disdain: "It's just a nice thing to say, brothers who don't know it, they have been arrested."

Said Baihu Jiangcheng sneered: "My lord, you don't know, now it's spread all over the yamen."

Frowning, Chen Ke glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "If you don't do well, what are you spreading nonsense about?"

Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "Everyone says that our commander is a coward and doesn't dare to provoke those officials at all. If Master Li Huan was here, hehe, let's see who can take Qian Ning Qianhu away. "

Chen Ke glared at Jiang Cheng and said, "Okay, you can talk nonsense about things like this."

British government
Zhang Mao, who was dressed in normal clothes, was lying leisurely on a deck chair, basking in the sun leisurely.

Grandson Zhang Lun was accompanying Zhang Mao, telling Zhang Mao interesting stories that happened in the capital. The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed happily.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion slowed down and walked over.

Although the old butler slowed down, Zhang Lun still heard him, looked up, Zhang Lun smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with the butler?"

Generally speaking, if there is nothing important, it is impossible to alarm the old Duke Zhang Mao, so Zhang Lun looked at the butler curiously.

The butler stepped forward and saluted, "Master, Miss Jin is back!"

Zhang Mao, who had been lying on the recliner all this time, couldn't help sitting up when he heard the words, with a look of surprise on his face, he said, "What did you say, that girl Jin'er is back?"

Zhang Lun also said with a look of surprise on his face: "Didn't my little aunt practice Taoism with Shao Zhenren in Longhu Mountain? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Zhang Jin is the youngest daughter of Zhang Mao. She is only [-] years old, but she admired Taoist culture since she was a child. She has read Taoist classics thoroughly and has a very high talent in Taoism.

That year Shao Yuanjie, the Daoist of Longhu Mountain, was invited to give a sermon to the British public Zhang Mao, and Zhang Jin just happened to hear that a ten-year-old girl could tell Shao Yuanjie the classics of Taoism, which only surprised Shao Yuanjie.

Later, Zhang Jin begged Zhang Mao to come forward, worshiped under Shao Yuanjie's sect, and practiced Taoism with him.

It can be said that this Jin girl did not spend as long in Longhu Mountain as she did in the UK, but both Zhang Mao and others love her very much.

Even Zhang Lun, the British prince of the next generation, is about ten years older than Zhang Jin, the little aunt. Although she is an aunt, she is pampered like a daughter.

Here Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun just got up when they saw a tall figure walking over.A simple and elegant Taoist robe can hardly conceal her exquisite figure, a head of black and beautiful hair is casually tied into a bun with jade hairpins, her fair and long neck is as smooth as jade, her eyes are as bright as stars, her lips are slightly crimson, pure and refined , as indifferent as a fairy.

Seeing Zhang Jin's cold face, he couldn't help but burst into amazing smiles when he saw Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun.

Stepping forward with light footsteps, his figure is as graceful as a fairy. With a few casual steps, he has already crossed a distance of more than ten feet, and appeared in front of Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun.

Who is Zhang Jin, who is not the jewel in the palm of the Duke of England, but who is known as the Banished Fairy among the nobles of the capital.

Zhang Jin stepped forward and saluted Zhang Maoying, "Daughter pays homage to Father!"

Looking at Zhang Jin, Zhang Mao couldn't help but stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Girl, why are you back! That old Niubiqian of Shao Yuanjie even sent a letter saying that your cultivation has reached a critical juncture. If you can't make a breakthrough, you won't be back in a short time. of."

At this moment, Zhang Lun saluted Zhang Jin with a smile and said, "Nephew has seen little aunt."

Zhang Jin smiled lightly and said, "Lun'er is becoming more and more like a little father-in-law!"

Zhang Lun couldn't help blushing when he heard the words: "My aunt is making fun of my nephew again!"

Zhang Mao pulled Zhang Jin to sit down, looked Zhang Jin up and down, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Our Jin'er is getting more and more beautiful, and I don't know which bastard will be cheaper in the future!"

Even if she was as cold as Zhang Jin, she couldn't help but blush on her pretty face when she heard Zhang Mao's words.

However, the state of mind of practicing Taoism for many years still prevented her from being too much affected, so she took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Zhang Mao: "Father, this is the letter that Master asked me to bring to you."

Zhang Mao took the letter and tore it open while laughing: "I don't know what's the matter with this old cow nose, can't I let you tell me? What kind of letter do you want to write..."

Speaking of which, Zhang Mao's eyes had already landed on the letter, and soon Zhang Mao let out a little surprise, then looked up at Zhang Jin, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Lun sat on the side and saw Zhang Mao's reaction, showing a bit of curiosity on his face, while Zhang Mao handed the letter to Zhang Lun casually and said with a smile, "Look at it too!"

Although Zhang Jin noticed Zhang Mao's look at her, she was always calm. Although she also guessed that the content of the letter might be related to her, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

Zhang Lun had already read the contents of the letter at this moment, and as expected, his eyes were also on Zhang Jin.

Putting the letter away, Zhang Lun smiled lightly and looked at Zhang Mao, "Grandpa, what do you think of Shao Zhenren's words?"

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't say it, the old cow has no big nose, but he still has the ability to meet people. Since he said that, it seems to be credible."

As he said that, Zhang Mao also glanced at Zhang Jin and said with a smile: "Besides, Jin'er has reached the age of marriage, and it's time to find a good son-in-law for her!"

Picking up a cup of tea, Zhang Jin, who had just taken a sip, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then realized that a blush could not help but appear on her delicate jade face, and the shyness of her daughter's family finally washed away The elegant and fairy-like temperament made it a little more mortal.

"Father, my daughter is dedicated to Taoism, and she has made a vow long ago that she will never get involved in worldly affairs!"

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "Silly girl, my daughter's family is going to marry after all, and practicing the Tao will not prevent you from marrying, and this is the reason why your master asked you to come back this time."

Now Zhang Jin was stunned, with a bit of surprise and pondering on her pretty face.

Seeing this, Zhang Mao said to Zhang Lun: "Lun'er, show Jin'er Shao Zhenren's letter and let her see what Shao Zhenren said."

In fact, Zhang Jin had believed Zhang Mao's words at this moment, even if he wanted to make fun of her, he would not make fun of such things.

However, Zhang Jin still took the letter and looked at it. Sure enough, just as Zhang Mao said, Shao Zhenren said in the letter that her red luan star is moving, and the marriage from heaven is coming.

Seeing his daughter's expression and reaction, Zhang Mao stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "Your master said that your red luan star is moving, and your marriage is coming. Now you have nothing to say."

Soon Zhang Jin came to her senses, and said with a light smile, "In this case, my daughter will have a life in this world of mortals. The master once said that when she enters the world, she is born. If you don't know it, how can you forget it? Let's see, who in this world is worthy of a daughter."

While speaking, an air of aloofness and arrogance emerges spontaneously, as if a banished fairy is in the dust. Although he is wearing a Taoist robe, the combination of brilliant nobleness and elegant temperament like a fairy is also radiant, which makes people feel ashamed , dare not look directly.

Even Zhang Lun couldn't help sighing for a while when he saw his little aunt being so magnificent. Is there really anyone in this world who is worthy of it?

On the contrary, Zhang Mao stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, here are the children from various families in Beijing, let Jin'er choose which one you like, just tell your father."

While talking, the old butler hurried over with a burly man.

With a sweep of Zhang Mao's gaze, his temperament changed immediately, and a chilling air emerged. The change in Zhang Mao's temperament naturally attracted Zhang Jin and Zhang Lun to look at the visitor.

Wu Shikang, the Commander of the Beijing Army, is a member of the British government. He was promoted by Zhang Mao from the army to take charge of the first army of the Beijing Army. He can be regarded as a powerful figure in the capital.

At this time, Wu Shikang walked up to him, paid homage to Zhang Mao, and bowed directly to Zhang Mao, saying, "Wu Shikang, pay homage to the Duke."

Zhang Mao nodded slightly and said, "Get up!"

Only then did Wu Shikang get up, and then respectfully saluted Zhang Lun, "I've seen you, Miss Jin!"

But Zhang Mao frowned and said: "Seeing your expression is in a hurry, could it be that something happened in the capital camp?"

Wu Shikang said solemnly: "Master Hui, someone from the Ministry of War sent a battalion of soldiers and horses with the document of the Ministry of War. The general felt that something was wrong, so he came here to report to Lord Ming."

A flash of light flashed in Zhang Mao's eyes, and his hunched body suddenly became straight, staring straight at Wu Shikang and said: "What are you talking about, the Ministry of War dispatched a battalion of soldiers and horses? What's the use? But Through the cabinet?"

Wu Shikang said slowly: "The Ministry of War is following normal procedures. As for the purpose of mobilizing soldiers and horses, the general asked, but the other party ignored it at all. The more the general thinks about it, the more he feels wrong, so he can only come to see the Duke of the State. .”

Zhang Lun and Zhang Jin naturally knew that in this important area of ​​the capital, not to mention the transfer of a battalion of troops, even the transfer of more than dozens of soldiers and horses should not be underestimated.

Although it is said that Zhang Mao has long since stopped intervening in the affairs of the Beijing camp, Zhang Mao is the admiral of the Beijing camp anyway, which means that if something happens to the Beijing camp, the first person to stand up and take responsibility is Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao tapped lightly on the table with one hand, his eyes were full of light, he pondered for a while, and said, "Wu Shikang, please send me an order to let all the generals of the Beijing camp return to the camp to sit in the camp. According to His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to leave the gate of the camp."

Wu Shikang said in a deep voice, "The last general takes orders."

As he said that, Wu Shikang looked at Zhang Mao with a little worry, and said, "But if there is another person who uses the Ministry of War to dispatch troops..."

Zhang Mao glanced at Wu Shikang indifferently and said, "Then let him come and find me first."

Wu Shikang said solemnly: "The general understands."

Seeing Wu Shikang leaving in a hurry, Zhang Mao frowned and said to Zhang Lun: "Go, send someone to find out if something major happened in the capital. It's for no reason. Why did the Ministry of War send someone to transfer a battalion away?" Ma, and find out for me, where did the battalion of soldiers and horses go and what did they do?"

Zhang Lun got up immediately and said, "Grandson will do it now."

After arranging these things, Zhang Mao's murderous spirit dissipated, and he returned to the appearance of a kind old man. He smiled and looked at Zhang Jin, who was sitting quietly beside him, and said, "Come on, tell my father, what are you doing?" How about two years of practice!"
