Blood from Daming

Chapter 42 Dagger
Gu Zhengnan's garden is located between Xuanwu Gate and Guangning Gate, which is considered a sparsely populated area in the capital, so the Gu family's garden is very large, hence the name "Gu Family Garden".

The climate in the north is dry, and the capital is even less rainy.The weather in Beijing in summer is fine, but the owner of the garden is in a bad mood.

There were three people sitting in the backyard of the "Gu Family Garden", the person in the middle seat was of course the owner of the family, Gu Zhengnan, the one on the left was Gu Dezuo, the butler of the Gu Family, and the right was Zhang Shanfu who hid in the "Gu Family Garden".

Today Gu Zhengnan had a hard time going from house to house, and only came back in the middle of the night, his complexion was really bad.I ran to seven or eight officials' houses all day today, and wanted everyone to help kill Xue's family, but most of the places were left on the bench.

First of all, Shun Tian Fu Yin, when Gu Zhengnan visited, Shun Tian Fu Yin kept his face ashen, Gu Zhengnan was sent off before he finished speaking, Gu Zhengnan was so angry, but he was even more angry than Shun Tian Fu Yin, Shun Tian Fu Yin My heart is filled with Gu Zhengnan's family and mother, using Shuntian government officials without telling myself, how can I mess around in the officialdom when my father is a dead person, the most embarrassing thing is that dozens of people are still in prison in Dongchang.

Shuntian Fu Yin's mouth was thirsty, he picked up the teapot and drank heavily.If Gu Zhengnan didn't talk about it, he wouldn't know about it. There was a big family extermination case in the capital, and no one asked about the case, but there was no time to get people involved.The Xue family is so easy to deal with, then Xue Yun is born to kill gods, his strength is invincible, and he has the supervisor of rites, Bingbi, the eunuch, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the admiral of the East Factory, as the backstage, what are you doing with Gu Zhengnan, he Lan Tianyun, you **** It’s best to be dead, to eat things from inside out, Xue Yun is not a good bird, he voted for Dongchang at a young age, hey, if he doesn’t think about it, he should try to get him out of Dongchang, otherwise no one will go to work in Shuntian Mansion tomorrow.

Gu Zhengnan knew that this matter was troublesome when he came out from the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, so he went to find his good friends, the cabinet scholar, the official doctor, the rite minister, the head of the punishment department, the Zuo Si Cheng of Dali Temple and others, and hoped that they would take action against the Xue family. He didn't even accept the move, and asked us to go to the other party's fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid. You are shameless, and we have shame. We really have to make a move and give a reason.

Gu Zhengnan counted Xue Yun's ten crimes: cruelty, ruthlessness, oppressing literati, robbing other people's property, killing people, wounding heroes, taking refuge in eunuchs, organizing gangsters, fighting against the imperial court, beating and killing officials, attempting to rebel, etc.

Someone asked: It seems that you have no enmity with him.

Gu Zhengnan: No, it's Xue Yun's worst evil.

Someone said: What you said is only reliable if it applies to Wei Zhongxian.

Gu Zhengnan: Brothers, we used to have a lot of people, so just add one more and do me a favor, okay?

In the end, a brother told the truth: Lao Gu, it’s not natural for you to eat skins to make people angry. Don’t drive people crazy and you will die. That Xue Yun is a tiger. We civil servants are like a pack of mad dogs, biting people everywhere, and that is also to protect ourselves and make others afraid of us.Besides, whoever does something that is not beneficial, if there is no deep hatred, just pull it down.

Gu Zhengnan was sulking there, and Zhang Shanfu was not happy. He gave Gu Zhengnan five or sixty thousand taels of silver back and forth.

Zhang Shanfu is so anxious, things have come to this, he and the Xue family will never stop, in the past few years he has embezzled more than 10,000 yuan from the Xue family, wasted more than [-] yuan, and embezzled nearly [-] yuan of public funds. But the most successful thing Zhang Shanfu did was to use the Xue family’s money to do business and earn [-]+. The most wicked thing is that he cheated away from his sister, and the money he defrauded was almost [-].

Zhang Shanfu knew that he would be discovered sooner or later. He had already prepared his way out, his property had already been transferred out, and he had a big backer. He was not afraid that the Xue family would hide for a while and pass by. Looking for him, my sister was also locked up. It seems that the Xue family didn't want to let him go, so Zhang Shanfu paid a lot of money to destroy the Xue family.

Gu Zhengnan: "The Xue family is about to take a break."

Zhang Shanfu has been in the "Gu's Garden" even though someone reported it, but he doesn't know much about it: "Master Gu, is there not enough money?"

Gu Zhengnan: "It's not just a matter of money. The three boys of the Xue family have taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, the eunuch of Bingbi, the admiral of the East Factory, as the backstage. Do you know that Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, is the most powerful person other than the emperor in Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Shanfu said anxiously: "My lord, is there really no way to deal with Xue's family?"

Gu Zhengnan: "This matter is no longer a personal grievance, but a public hatred. The Xue family has turned to the eunuchs to work as a minion and everyone in the world will punish it; if the Xue family is not destroyed, it will not stop at death. There are dozens of people in Zhang Shanren's Shuntian Mansion, especially Lan Tian, ​​​​the invincible iron palm Yun was beaten and disabled by that kid from the Xue family, you have to bleed some blood, otherwise you won't bet on everyone's mouth."

Zhang Shanfu's face turned green when he heard it: "My lord, how much do you want?"

The three of them were talking happily, but Xue Yun, who was listening to the news outside, was so angry that Xue Yun endured and waited for them to disperse. After a long time on the roof, he came down and inspected the "Gu Family Garden" carefully. Case.After figuring out what to do, he was about to leave, but he saw Gu Zhengnan divide most of the gold and silver sent by Zhang Shanfu, and entered his bedroom with his arms around him, and arched in through a small door.

Xue Yun laughed secretly in his heart that I was worried about not finding the treasure of the Gu family. If I wanted to sleep, someone would hand me a pillow. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, I quietly slipped out of the "Gu family garden" and went back.

Early the next morning, Xue Yun went to the Yulin Army training ground for a walk, then went to Dong'anmen, one of the four gates of the imperial city. This is where the Dongchang is located. At the gate of the factory, please ask the foreman inside to pass the message: Xue Yun, the law protector, asks to see the factory owner.He handed the foreman an ingot of five taels of gold.

The foreman asked Xue Yun to wait for him to report. Xue Yun was a little anxious after waiting for half an hour. It was at this time that the foreman came out, holding a dagger in his hand.

The foreman: "The factory official ordered: Reward Xue Yun with a piece of inner magic soldier, and hope that the protectors will bring out treacherous evil inside and destroy the Tartars outside."

Xue Yun: "Thank you, Mr. Chang, for your gift."

The foreman delivered the dagger to Xue Yun's hand, and the stone in Xue Yun's heart fell to the ground. It seems that there are no sequelae of what happened yesterday.

Xue Yun asked: "What else did the factory owner say?"

The foreman got Xue Yun's gold to reciprocate, and he ordered him a few more words: "Today, unfortunately, the factory owner just went back to the inner palace for something. He said that he was satisfied with what happened to you yesterday. Well, it is said that this dagger used to be used by Da Song. It was owned by a loyal minister, and later it was in the hands of a disciple of the Seven Bags from the North Branch of the Beggar Clan. That disciple used this dagger to assassinate Marshal Dajin South Road. Don't mention it, the Southern Song Dynasty kept silent for fear of trouble, and such heroes were buried in history, and few people knew about it.

Xue Yun rode a horse with a dagger in his hand, and walked all the way home with something on his mind, followed by Mao Laoyao and three others.Xue Yun thought to himself: Could it be that the factory owner wants me to kill Gu Zhengnan with this dagger, everyone knows the conflict between himself and Gu Zhengnan, and he needs to think carefully before killing him.

When Xue Yun returned home, it was just past time. Tent An took a few people to go out. Xue Yun greeted him. Tent An said, "Young master, Steward Mao arranged for me to purchase supplies for the village village."

Xue Yun: "An Zhangfang bought a few more carts of food and daily necessities, and the car at home is also counted. If the money is not enough, it will be counted first." "

After An Zhangfang left with a few people, grandfather Xue Rui went out of the gate accompanied by several people from the old steward Mao. When Xue Rui saw Xue Yun came back, he said: "How is the training of the young army, and you have come back so early. "

Xue Yun: "I don't have anything to do. The factory owner gave me a dagger, so I'll come back first."

Xue Rui: "Yun'er, didn't you say you were going to take a look last night, let's go there together." Only then did Xue Yun notice that Yang Zhenlei and the others were carrying two suitcases.

Xue Yun nodded and said: "Then grandson will accompany grandpa to look at the yard." Xue Rui led Xue Yun, old housekeeper Mao and Yang Zhenlei to the house together.

The yard to be bought is right behind the gate of Xue’s house, separated from Xue’s house by a wall, and the door can be opened for a few steps. If the fence can be removed, the two yards can be surrounded into a large yard. The government doesn't interfere with you.

When Xue Rui led Xue Yun and the others to the house that sold the yard, the owner of that house was already waiting in front of the door, and the servants of the family also stood neatly there waiting for the new owner's arrival.
