Jinyi champion

When Zhu Hao saw Zhu Wanhong again the next morning, Zhu Wanhong had already walked with Yu Chengxun and Yang Weicong.

The dignified Jinyiwei Qianhu was respectful in front of the two young middle- and lower-level civil servants. Zhu Hao almost thought that they were a family, but he couldn't tell who was the father and who was the son.

"Just now, is this disrespect coming?"

When Yu Chengxun saw Zhu Hao, he didn't open his eyes and smiled. He looked radiant all over. It seemed that he "rested" well last night. At least the fatigue of the journey was basically relieved.

Zhu Wanhong looked at Zhu Hao with a smile.

Yu Chengxun walked up to Zhu Hao and said, "I was talking about you with Uncle Ling. It is said that your Zhu family has now moved to Nanjing, which is very helpful for us to investigate the case. Uncle Ling and Yang Zhongtang are old friends. This time, the commander of Nanjin Yiwei will assist We do business."

Zhu Wanhong clasped his fists: "Guys, if you have any orders, just mention them, Nan Jin Yiwei will do his best."

"Uncle, aren't you busy? Do you really have time to walk around with us?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile, like an innocent child.

This contrast is cute...

Even Zhu Wanhong, who is used to facial expression management, was a little overwhelmed, and his expression froze.

Who was it that acted both kindly and powerful in front of me last night, scaring me enough?Play innocent and cute in front of me today?Those who don't know will be deceived by your cute appearance.

Zhu Wanhong pretended to be calm and said: "They are all sent by the emperor, so I dare not slack off in the slightest. Besides, Brother Yu Hanlin is the commander of my Nanjin Yiwei. It is an honor to be able to serve a few of you now."

When Zhu Wanhong said this, he intentionally looked at Yu Chengxun with reverence.

Yu Chengxun was naturally extremely proud.

Yu Chengxun's second brother, Yu Chengen, adopted his uncle Yu Zhi as his son. During the Zhengde period, Yu Chengen led the Nanjing Jinyiwei Commander as a man, which is equivalent to the "second in command" of the Nanjing Jinyiwei. In fact, Deng Bing, the number one, was also the commander. The descendants of Deng Yu, the hero of the past, acted as commanders and envoys, one level higher than Yu Chengen.

What Zhu Wanhong meant was that when I came to handle affairs, I gave the commander of Jin Yiwei the face of his own brother, not my own nephew.

……

……

The day's itinerary officially begins.

It is said to investigate the case, but it is actually to clarify the accounts. There are many places to go, and the legs are tired.

Fortunately, Nanjing took good care of them. In addition to the great help provided by the Nanhu Department, the Nanjin Yiwei and the Nanbing Department also provided assistance.

But the strange thing is that I didn't see anyone from Nanjing's garrison yamen.

Now Nanjing's garrison officer is Wei Guogong Xu Pengju. His predecessor Xu Yu has been guarding Nanjing for many years. He is Xu Pengju's grandfather.

In addition, Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun, the princes and generals, could not investigate. Perhaps even Xu Pengju knew that the main problem of the coastal defense deficit was their grandsons, so he simply turned a deaf ear to the arrival of the two imperial envoys.

He didn't even bother to do the superficial work of sending someone to receive him.

It seemed that he was very unfriendly to Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun, but Zhu Hao knew that Xu Pengju knew that he was being watched by Yang Tinghe, and in order to protect himself, he would definitely move closer to the new emperor. In fact, it was a good thing for Zhu Hao.

"Why don't you see people from the Nanjing Garrison Mansion? Should we go to the Garrison Mansion to check?"

Although Yu Chengxun is the "envoy" of this trip, he doesn't know much about the intricate relationship between the nobles.At this time, a group of people were in the Nanjing warehouse, saying they were here to check the goods, but in fact they were just going through the motions. They kept wandering around without even entering the big warehouse.

Zhu Wanhong approached and cupped his hands: "Yu Hanlin, do you want to send someone to inform the Nanjing Garrison?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I heard that a few days ago, Duke Cheng of the capital visited Elder Yang Ge. I wonder if there was any discussion?"

Several people turned their attention to Zhu Hao at the same time.

But even if the minds were as flexible as Yu Chengxun and Yang Weicong present, he didn't react for a while, and Zhu Wanhong reminded him next to him: "Mr. Cheng used to lead the defense of Nanjing for many years, and now he has been transferred to the capital..."

actually reminding
People present.

Now Nanjing's garrison yamen is facing a battle for top power. Although Wei Guogong Xu Chu and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu had a good relationship back then, but now for the job of garrisoning Nanjing, the two will definitely fight each other.

Such a large vacancy in Nanjing's defense is related to the coordination of southern coastal defense and other affairs. The annual military salary alone is 60 million taels...

Regardless of power, let's talk about this interest...

Yu Chengxun heard some clues, and laughed at himself: "Then we are not welcome here?"

Yang Weicong said: "Not at all. Nanjing's defense has always regarded honors and nobles in rotation. It can't always belong to one family. Besides, it can't be said that Yang Zhongtang is biased in this matter because Cheng Guogong visited Yang Zhongtang."

Zhu Fu only met Yang Tinghe once in the capital, so there is no need to make a fuss.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I think the Nanjing garrison yamen refused to greet us, probably because they thought we were not kind. We just need to show enough kindness."

People are afraid of investigation, so they will be indifferent to us. The more active they are to stick to other people's cold buttocks, basically nothing can be found out. This is reflected in the Nanjing household department. There is nothing wrong with confident accounts.

Yuan Yingben was listening to the excitement. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled wryly and said, "Guys, I'm probably tired after walking for a long time today. Why don't I host a banquet tonight?"

Zhu Haodao: "The greetings in the garden are so thoughtful, and Brother Yuan still needs to spend money? It should be us hosting a banquet, thank you for your hospitality."

"Where, where, I will do what the higher-ups tell me to do, and I will serve you... Where shall we go next?" Yuan Ying had a good impression of Zhu Hao.

This young man is young but speaks very nicely. Within a day of knowing each other, he has already been called "brother elder brother" and "brother elder brother". Although Yuan Ying doesn't know what background Zhu Hao has behind him, she feels that Zhu Hao deserves the number one prize. socialize.

"I'm really tired today. We're new here. We don't have to finish things in one day, right? Brother Mao Gong, what do you think?" Zhu Hao looked at Yu Chengxun, and seemed to obey Yu Chengxun's decision.

Yu Chengxun looked at the sky, the sun was actually high, thinking about the scene last night...

As Zhu Hao said, why make yourself too tired when you go out on business?

"Then go back first."

Yu Chengxun said, "Tomorrow it's best to send the account books of the household department to our hotel. We won't go out tomorrow, but we will work in the garden. We will check for a day tomorrow. If you don't finish the check, you are not allowed to rest. Tonight, everyone should recharge their batteries. "

"it is good."

Even Yang Weicong felt that Yu Chengxun's proposal was good.

He will also follow him to the garden, after all, such a luxurious place is rare even in Nanjing, so he will not treat himself badly if he eats, drinks and has fun.

Several people were about to leave in a carriage from the warehouse, but Zhu Hao bid farewell and had no intention of going with Yu Chengxun.

Yu Chengxun asked curiously: "Jingdao, you won't go back with us?"

He was sent to supervise Zhu Hao, and he knew that Yang Tinghe might be suspicious of Zhu Hao now, but at the same time, he also understood that they supervised each other during this trip. Zhu Hao didn't communicate with anyone on the way south. This matter has nothing to do with Zhu Hao, but now Zhu Hao has to deal with his own affairs, so Yu Chengxun inevitably paid attention.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "I've been in Nanjing for a day, and I want to go back and meet the elders at home."

"Ouch!"

Yu Chengxun slapped his forehead, looking very guilty, "Look at me, you haven't visited your relatives in Nanjing yet, I heard that your grandfather and grandmother are both in Nanjing, so you should visit them. Oh, I was wrong , why don't we go together? I also want to pay a visit to Mrs. Zhu?"

Yu Chengxun didn't say that he wanted to accompany Zhu Hao, but just to be polite... We came together, you have to go back to see your grandparents, I will accompany you to see, so that the relationship will be closer, and it will be more convenient and quick to cooperate in the future.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Mao Gong's kindness, I appreciate it, but we have to check the accounts tomorrow, it's good to waste my time, I can't trouble you."

"Oh, then go early and come back early, we will wait for you at the mansion, watch it tonight

During play..."

"There's no need to wait."

Zhu Hao said, "Maybe I'll come back tomorrow morning, it depends."

"Yes, get together with your family more when you go back. You are the number one scholar, and you are highly regarded by Mr. Yang Ge. This is a matter of embarrassment to Zhu's parents. It is rare."

……

……

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Hao said goodbye to Yu Chengxun and others.

Zhu Hao was about to get into his carriage when Zhu Wanhong followed, but was stopped by two men.

Before when Zhu Hao was in front of Yu Chengxun and the others, he was quite polite to Zhu Wanhong, but now it is different. The plainclothes guards around Zhu Hao are the masters of brocade guards from Xing Wangfu.

"Master Zhu?"

Zhu Wanhong changed his attitude and asked for instructions, meaning can I go over and talk?
Zhu Hao said: "Zhu Qianhu, I still have something to do today, if Yu Hanlin and the others ask tomorrow, do you know how to answer?"

"Um!?"

Zhu Wanhong originally thought that Zhu Hao was going back to the Zhu family to show off his power, but now he realized that this was just a cover, and Zhu Hao had no interest in even setting foot on the threshold of the Zhu family.

"I know, I know, Master Zhu has been with his family today, and everyone is in harmony..." Zhu Wanhong said.

Zhu Hao sneered: "You mean, they went to investigate and said that I didn't even enter the house. Isn't everything revealed?"

"..."

Zhu Wanhong didn't know Zhu Hao's pulse for a moment.

what's the situation?
Didn't you let me cover it for you?Or do you want me to tell the truth?Tell them, in fact, you didn't go back to Zhu's house at all, but went to run your own errands?

Zhu Hao didn't bother to explain anything to Zhu Wanhong, so he greeted: "Go!"

Zhu Wanhong said: "Master Zhu, you have a humble job..."

"Come on!"

Zhu Hao said coldly.

……

……

I didn't go to any unusual places, but I went to a tea house next to a remote inn.

After entering the teahouse, Zhu Wanhong found that the place had already been taken over by someone. The customers inside and outside were all soldiers. Zhu Wanhong felt vaguely uncomfortable. When he got to the second floor, Zhu Wanhong suddenly found that Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu envoy Luo An was already waiting there.

"gentlemen!"

Luo An came up and saluted Zhu Hao.

Zhu Wanhong knelt down again with a "plop", and kowtowed to Luo An: "I'm humble, Zhu Wanhong, I've seen Mr. Luo."

Luo An couldn't help frowning and looked at the kneeling master, and then looked at Zhu Hao, as if asking with his eyes, what the hell is this?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The envoy Luo Zhen laughed, maybe this is more popular in Nanjing official circles. Uncle, get up and talk."

"Yes Yes."

Zhu Wanhong got up from the ground in fear and trepidation, and even stumbled in the process of getting up, which shows the agitation of his mood.
