Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 281 Why is the wind so fast

The people around were silent, the Imperial City Secretary, the Forbidden Army, and the Border Army were all obediently guarding the surroundings.

Only the two of them rode horses and talked in the middle of the school grounds, guessing from time to time what the people behind the scene wanted to do, even if they prevented themselves and others from going south, why did they send out so many people to intercept and kill them.

Thinking about it during this period, I still don't understand.

However, Zhang Jinyu continued to praise Eunuch Zhao for his command.

When Eunuch Zhao heard such praise from Marquis Zhang Jinyu, there was a warm current in his heart, and his face immediately burst into a smile, grinning, his face was rosy, as if he was a few years younger.

Then he replied with some deliberate humility;
"Master Hou, you are just joking. How dare the miscellaneous family make an axe in front of you? It is the two commanders of the imperial guards who lead well. By the way, listen to you two. From now on, your four guards will obey Lord Hou's orders." , if someone disobeys the military order, the miscellaneous family will not be soft, this is the meaning of the Holy Majesty, weigh it yourself."

"The last general doesn't dare, he must obey Lord Hou's command."

The two commanders also knelt down immediately and said, Zhang Jinyu was also holding his hands up, and asked the two to get up and answer,
"Please, as long as you two generals put your heart into it, this Marquis is not an unreasonable person. Apart from other things, if you do things under Ben Hou's command, you should be rewarded and punished, and you will not treat your brothers badly."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, the general will follow orders."

The two leaders felt relieved and stood up.

"It's still Lord Hou's benevolence. The miscellaneous family is moved by what Master Hou does. He leads soldiers like brothers and loves soldiers like children. The miscellaneous family admires them."

Zhao Si also praised him from the sidelines, with a flattering look on his face.

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help shivering, and couldn't help but feel a little cold. Seeing that the people in the school field had assembled, and then looked at the sky, it was already the third watch, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered;
"Commander Pang, arrange for your Wuxiang Guards to immediately take over the four gates of Jinling City. From today onwards, you will be responsible for opening and closing the gates, and the government army will cooperate. Anyone who dares to block them will be taken down immediately, including the government army."

"Yes, Lord Hou, the last general will take orders."

Commander Pang immediately returned to the school grounds after receiving the order, ordered the soldiers and horses, and led the army to set off immediately.

The guards of Wu Xiang walked out of the palace gate neatly, lighting torches and wearing armor, watching a long dragon-like team exiting the palace gate.

Riding on the horse, Zhang Jinyu felt at ease. He took control of Jinling City first, and then slowly checked the others, and then scanned the rest of the people in the school grounds.

I'm also wondering if I'm going to start raiding the houses of the people who were arrested tonight, but if there is no proof of oil, I'm afraid it will arouse the hostility of Jiangnan civil and military. Everyone is obviously a gangster, not even a peripheral person, this business is not worth it.

Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao, who was behind him, saw Master Hou sitting on the horse without saying a word, he seemed to be thinking about something, obviously it was those trash just now, so he leaned over and asked;
"Master Hou, Master Hou, what's the matter, what are you thinking about!"

Zhang Jinyu came back to his senses and looked over. Isn't this someone ready-made? Eunuch Zhao must know how to deal with it, so he asked;
"Eunuch Zhao, do you think we should directly ransack those people's homes tonight? Wouldn't it be too slow to interrogate them one by one?"

Zhao Si was taken aback when he heard this, the house would be ransacked before the trial, if those civil servants in Jiangnan found out, it would be a world-shattering situation, and besides, the relationship inside has not been clarified, who should be arrested.

"Master Hou, is it better to have a first-instance trial on this matter? Now it's just a tongue-in-cheek. That General Liu, according to the miscellaneous family, will have a good trial overnight, and then follow the vines to find out who is behind the scenes. Hurry up now."

Zhang Jinyu remained silent and said the same thing, but today's events will inevitably spread tomorrow, those people should take action,
"Master Hou, listen to what the miscellaneous family said, first send people to surround the mansions of those suspicious people, and then find out, Hou Ye, those civil officials in Jiangnan and many officials are here, and those honorable families secretly watch It's on."

"Well, then"

Zhang Jinyu wanted to speak in agreement, but suddenly the small principal at the palace gate came to report;

"Report, Lord Hou, the factory owner, Gui Yifu, the left-behind deputy commander of the Jiangnan Imperial City Department outside the old palace, is asking to see you."

"Well, why is he here?"

Zhao Si's father-in-law Zhao said in doubt, this person came so fast, he reacted to the slightest movement, he was indeed an old man from the Huangcheng Division.

Zhang Jinyu suddenly lost her voice when she saw Eunuch Zhao, and then asked;
"Eunuch Zhao, what's wrong with this person?"

"Master Hou, this person's personality is unpredictable, but this person can be regarded as Jiangnan's pinnacle of Dinghai. He is devoted to the imperial court. He was arranged by the Supreme Emperor. He has been staying in Jiangnan for many years. It is strange to come at this time."

Seeing that Lord Hou was not clear, Mr. Zhao Si and Eunuch Zhao leaned over and explained in a low voice.

When Zhang Jinyu heard that this person belonged to the Supreme Emperor, she couldn't help but sighed from the bottom of her heart. The palace struggled for power, and the local government was at a loss, so how could it be possible to sit firmly in the world.

This person is also not simple, and his speed is not slow anymore. Calculate the time and the old palaces he has arrived at.

outside the old palace,
In front of the palace gate, on the side of the water bridge.

There are a large number of people from the Imperial City Division, the leaders are riding on horses, followed by almost thousands of people, holding flags and wearing armor, they can be regarded as aggressive.

Gui Yifu was riding on the horse, looking at the large number of forbidden soldiers and horses passing by the water bridge in front of him, his face was also solemn, Luo Yunhou was too fast, he controlled the forbidden army before he could react, and now he is the only one in Jinling City .

The Taishanghuang came to a secret letter, explaining that he should be optimistic about Jiangnan, and he must be careful in everything, which is difficult.

Where are these forbidden troops planning to go,
"Several of you, send someone to follow these forbidden soldiers and see what they are going to do?"

"Yes, my lord Commander,"

The few confidant soldiers behind them agreed to retreat, and then disappeared into the team behind them.

Gui Yifu felt a little uneasy, he was afraid that Hou Ye would mess around in Jinling City when he was young, and it would be troublesome.

Thinking of the past few days, his confidant Liang Baihu hurriedly escaped from Yangzhou and came back to report. Yangzhou has also changed. The small thousand households from the capital are not simple. Although they have good intentions, they will not help the overall situation.

"Master Commander, this Marquis of Luo Yun actually mobilized his army overnight to raid Jinling City, but did something happen?"

You Guangfeng, a thousand households behind him, also asked worriedly, "Jinling City hasn't seen any turmoil for a long time. If the tranquility is broken by people from the capital, a large number of officials will inevitably fall. At that time, no one should think about it. I am afraid that there is no winner, and the consequences will be unpredictable. Some people in the south of the Yangtze River do not have their hearts towards the court.

"Don't worry, just wait, Jiangnan still can't be messed up, and with so many people staring at it, a Marquis outside the customs can't make waves, so we have to persuade him with good words."

Sitting on the horse, Du Yifu said calmly, the people behind the imperial city division felt at ease when they heard what his commander said, and they all knew that his master was the emperor, and he was also the commander of the former secret guard, so naturally they were not afraid What imperial envoy.

Old Palace School Yard,

Zhang Jinyu then touched his chin. It is not easy for someone to come at such an urgent time. It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it is interesting, it is fine for those who don't know the rules.

"Everyone is here, so why do we need to meet, otherwise it will appear that we don't know how to treat guests and bring people in, what do you think, Eunuch Zhao?"

"What Hou Ye said is very true. Miscellaneous family also wants to meet an old acquaintance, let's see what he has to say."

Zhao Si patted the war horse under him, and said meaningfully.

outside the old palace,
Waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Wuxiang Guards to leave, the captain went to deliver the order;
"Commander Gui, the Imperial Envoy is here to invite you."

When Gui Yifu heard the order from the Imperial Army, he could go in, and with a wave of his hand, he led the troops of the Jinling Imperial City Division into the old palace.
As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, he saw tens of thousands of horses gathered on the school field not far away, as well as a large number of cavalry, and many people from the Imperial City Division, especially those cavalry, who were fierce and fierce. Naturally, they were elites who had fought for a long time.

There is also some shadow in my heart, this is the frontier army outside the pass, the one who is known as the number one army in the world, looked at the person behind him, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly, unable to look at it.

When he came to the school grounds, Gui Yifu didn't get off his horse. He just sat on the horse and clasped his fists. He bowed to Zhang Jinyu and Eunuch Zhao.

"Gui Yifu, the commander staying behind in Jinling, has seen Marquis Luo Yun, and Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao is fine."

"Hehe, isn't this Mr. Gui, who is becoming more and more powerful now, but I don't know how long it can last."

Zhao Si chuckled, his face was a little unhappy, and he tried it while holding the words.

Gui Yifu naturally had no good words to say, and there is not yet a eunuch in charge here.
"Then don't bother Eunuch Zhao, just take care of yourself. There is no shortage in the capital."

"you!"

Zhao Si was furious when he heard this, and Zhang Jinyu stopped him when he wanted to say something.

"Eunuch Zhao, take a break, what's the rush, everyone is here, who is that, what is Gui?"

"Master Hou, Gui Yifu."

Commander Gui replied angrily.

Zhang Jinyu let out a long "oh" as if cooperating.

"Oh, so it was Gui Yi vomited, don't blame me if I didn't hear clearly, cough."

"you."

Now it was Gui Yifu's turn to be speechless with anger, Zhao Si felt as if he had eaten honey when he saw it, and felt extremely comfortable.

"Master Hou, it's better not to use your words. What is the purpose of Master Hou here?"

Seeing that he couldn't take advantage of what he said, Gui Yifu began to question him sternly, but Zhang Jinyu cursed inwardly when he saw it.

I wanted to ignore it, but there was still something to do, so I asked back with a grim expression;
"What did Commander Gui send you here for? Could it be that he was tipping someone off!"

"Master Hou, this commander is staying behind for Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, he is thinking about the safety of the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't it appropriate for Master Hou to mobilize the army when he comes here?"

Gui Yifu saw that although Luo Yunhou in front of him was young, but he was so experienced in speaking and doing things, he put away his contempt, and then asked in a discussing tone.

"Well, what Commander Gui said is correct, but this Marquis will not succeed if he does not deploy troops. A few days ago, the navy army of the imperial envoy was attacked. Where are those people? Ben Hou has found out that someone is plotting to rebel. , who wants to overthrow the imperial court and rule the south of the Yangtze River, but does Commander Gui know who it is?"

Gui Yifu's expression changed, it was really bold to have such a thing, and he reprimanded him severely;

"Luo Yunhou, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Where there is conspiracy, where there is separatism in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that Master Hou has drunk too much?"
