Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 283 It's All About the Overall Situation
Ning Bian saw that Master Hou looked a bit puzzled, so he walked over and reminded him in a low voice;

"Master Hou, I still remember that Commander Lu said that Mr. Shen of the Governor's Mansion is the envoy of Commander Yan."

Zhang Jinyu saw Ning Bian slashing down with his hand,
"It's him, there's no proof of death."

Zhang Jinyu immediately thought of what Commander Lu Yi said, how the commander who was beheaded by Old Brother Shen was so coincidental, so all the clues were cut off.

This old brother Shen is really true, he didn't say anything so quickly, and he didn't send someone to remind him. If he hadn't been careful and changed the guards, he didn't know what would happen afterwards.

After thinking about it for a while, I was still a little unwilling, and asked again,

"General Liu, who else knows about this?"

"Master Hou, the general doesn't know. Only those people were there at the time. The general heard it as a joke. How could he know it was true? Master Hou forgives the crime, the general was wronged."

Looking at the miserable looking people hanging in front of him, he begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Jinyu, who was bored in her heart, said directly angrily;

"Stop shouting, trash, you don't know anything, let them down."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The soldiers behind him walked over and put them down. As soon as Liu Chang and the lieutenants landed on the ground, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed;
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Hou, thank you for your kindness."

On the contrary, Zhao Si was a little puzzled, so he leaned over and asked;

"Master Hou, why is this? Why isn't there an interrogation?"

"The clues are broken. Commander Yan was beheaded by Governor Shen a few days ago. What a big deal can this idiot do. Since it must be true, I can only ransack the house against the guards. Let's take a look." , as for them, that's all."

Zhang Jinyu was also helpless, the people in the government army still had to show some face, after all, they didn't dare to intervene in this matter.

But the generals of the guards were going to attack tonight, and Zhao Si nodded in agreement. At this moment, a few cavalry came running outside the old palace.

When he got close, he knelt down on one knee,

"Report, Lord Hou, General Duan has made a major discovery."

Just when Zhang Jinyu and Zhao Si were having a hard time making a decision, seeing the people from the Pioneer Camp kneeling on the ground reporting and looking at each other was a shock.

"What's the matter, come quickly?"

"Master Hou, there is a towed fighting ship at the Weijun camp at the wharf, and it is parked on the pier of the water village of the Weijun camp. The people who said it was the Weijun went out with the deputy general of the Jiangnan Weijun, but they did not come back. Take the warrant of the strict command."

The few people kneeling on the ground told all they knew. Although they spoke a little hastily, they said everything that should be said, and Zhang Jinyu heard it clearly. The strict commander of the guard must be an insider, but the guard is currently No one returned to the camp, and the deputy general didn't know if he also ran away.

"Get up, you all go back immediately, tell General Duan to guard the navy, and the other masters will know."

"Yes, my lord,"

The person who came came bowed again, and then left. Commander Gui behind him finally changed his face. It turned out that it was him. His subordinates had not reported this matter. He always thought it was the people from the government army who instigated it, and followed the people from the guard army. It's hard to imagine that it was strictly planned by one hand.

Zhao Si also felt that it was a little tricky. There were quite a few people in the Jiangnan Guards. If they participated, this Jiangnan would be enough for all the miscellaneous families to drink, not counting the Jiangnan camp.

"Master Hou, what are you going to do? This person has a goal, but there are some troubles. This person is Dong Wanghe, cough, cough cough."

When Zhang Jinyu heard this, she didn't understand that the palace must be involved in this matter. In fact, she didn't want to go head-to-head too hard in Jiangnan. It wouldn't do any good to hurt people, but now she understands that if she doesn't do something, she won't be able to explain to the emperor.

Let's copy a few companies first, and then use a cover. If we really fight, we will let the imperial army take the lead.

"The guards know about this matter, so let's search the house first, let's act first."

Gui Yifu secretly thought it was not good after hearing this,
shouted directly;

"Wait a minute, Lord Hou. Is it true that Lord Hou searched too many residences of the generals of the guards? The guards say that there are many lieutenants, partial generals, guerrillas, etc. Let's not say whether this is true or not, but the real Jiangnan Guards can It’s not just this point, if cholera breaks out, Jiangnan will be in chaos, and then there will be more than this point of loss. Eunuch Zhao, please say something!”

Gui Yifu directly prevented Zhang Jinyu from attacking the Jiangnan Guard general's house, and even persuaded him with kind words, and even called Zhao Si, Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Si pondered there for a while, and also frowned. Commander Gui was right, and the emperor also specially explained that Jiangnan should not be chaotic, so he had to kill a few scapegoats for an excuse.

"Master Hou, some things are better discussed in the long run."

Seeing that both of them said this, Zhang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was not his own territory, and it was a bit hypocritical, and he didn't want to search General Yan's mansion just now, but he still wanted to ask;
"That's how it is. First, the homes of the generals of Jinling City Guards and Commander Yan were confiscated. Commander Yan has already been decapitated by Governor Shen. I'll ask you, the Jiangnan camp said there were [-] soldiers. ,Really?"

"Returning to the Marquis, there are not many at all. Counting the mansion soldiers and horses equipped, they are not the [-] soldiers of the Jiangnan garrison generals, but directly adapted from the original Dongwang Mansion. On the south side."

Gui Yifu explained there,

Hearing Lord Hou ask about Jiangnan Daying, I was even more surprised, because I was really afraid that Luo Yunhou and Jiao Xiong would confront each other, and Jiangnan would never have peace.

Zhang Jinyu was also taken aback. He had made a mistake in his prediction. He thought it would be good to have at most half of the people in the Jiangnan camp, but he never thought that there were actually so many people.

After thinking about it, the persimmon was still soft.

Then he said to Tang Zheng;

"Commander Tang, leave Tengxiang's left guard with [-] cavalry to join the Marquis's team temporarily, and then you lead the right guard, the people of the Imperial City Division, and the Vanguard Battalion of the Marquis to follow the command of General Ning. Immediately raid the whole city to seek rebellion The people, the homes of the generals of the Jinling Guards, were all taken to the old palace prison."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

When Ning Bian and General Tang heard this, they clasped their hands together and agreed, and then led a large number of troops, under the guidance of the Imperial City Division, led the Imperial Army and the Pioneer Battalion out of the old palace, and began to arrest people in batches.

Seeing this, Gui Yifu also got off his horse, came to Zhang Jinyu, and bowed sincerely;
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for taking care of the overall situation. This Commander thanks me again. I never thought that Lord Marquis was really thinking about the imperial court."

Zhang Jinyu also hurriedly got off the horse, came over and dragged Commander Gui's hands, and took this opportunity to directly state the purpose of coming here.

"Your Majesty Gui is serious. It's not that the Marquis is a person who doesn't know the severity. Since he came here to solve some people's problems, and then let the emperor feel at ease, everyone will be happy. He has no other intentions. If he insists on blocking it, the Marquis will be embarrassed ah."

Gui Yifu understood in his heart that it must be the matter of inspecting the salt censor Lin Ruhai, even those salt merchants, no matter what, they are also to blame, let's see who is unlucky.

"Master Hou, but for the matter of inspecting Lord Shilin, the salt censor, this matter is also easy. Let's see what Master Hou wants to do. There are salt merchants in Suzhou and Yangzhou. You can choose as many as you want. Master Hou still needs to keep a few. To maintain the salt service, as for the Jiangnan Daying camp, don't worry, Lord Hou, this commander can be an intermediary."

Gui Yifu also directly expressed his attitude and made things clear. Zhang Jinyu turned to look at Zhao Si, and Eunuch Zhao also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master Hou, it's about the same. Lao Gui also put in a lot of effort, so it's a good thing."

Seeing that there were no objections from both sides, Zhang Jinyu didn't want to take care of the affairs here, if it wasn't for being black-handed by the road, there would be no such things.

"Succeed, the Marquis has agreed, and will not launch troops in the south of the Yangtze River after tonight. Commander Gui, Ben Hou has one more request. In addition, the people from the ninth house of Jia's family in Jinling, as for the salt merchants, have found out that they have committed some serious crimes." directly ransacked the house, up to half of it, okay?"

Gui Yifu was overjoyed when he heard that, and he was able to keep the safety of Jiangnan, so he thanked him immediately;

"Brother here, thank Luo Yunhou, and also thank Eunuch Zhao. Today, I am ashamed of Laogui, and please don't take what happened tonight to my heart. There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River who have different intentions. The Supreme Emperor naturally knows about it." , but the time has not come, so we can't make a big move for the time being."

Said that tears were shed at the end, Zhao Si felt the same for a while when he saw this, the emperor is also walking on thin ice now, and dare not be careless.

On the contrary, Zhang Jinyu felt a little bit in his heart, not because he didn't dare to make a big move, but because he was afraid that if he moved one, he would pull out a bunch of them, and then the country would be unstable. Not to mention anything else, none of the four great martial kings could be easily dealt with, otherwise The other three kings felt in danger, and the situation where Dawu was fairly stable was gone forever.

As for those local festivals and guards, whichever one does not have the support of the old ministers and nobles behind him is a bad era.

Also, although it was obvious that the guards were involved in this matter, Zhang Jinyu always felt that Jiangnan Daying was definitely involved, so let's wait and see.

"Okay, Brother Gui is also a man of temperament, this matter is over, come here, let General Liu and others be released, and go back to the doctor to treat him well."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The people under his command walked over to untie General Liu Chang, while General Liu and others knelt on the ground to thank;

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, thank you Eunuch Zhao, thank you Commander Gui, the great kindness of the adults, I will never forget it in this life, the general will not know anything tonight, the general accidentally fell off the horse and hurt himself."

"You're a good boy, just shut up and get out."

Commander Gui yelled angrily at Liu Chang, and Liu Chang kowtowed a few more times before actually getting out.

Jiangnan,

outside Suzhou City,

Jiangnan Camp,

There are many banners and flags, and patrolling soldiers are constantly shuttling through the camp, which can be described as heavily guarded.

And outside the tents in the big camp, bonfires were burning everywhere, illuminating the camp brightly, like daytime.

A large tent in the center, and even the tent of the commander of the Jiangnan camp.

in the account,

Jiao Xiong squinted his eyes half-lying on the chair of the handsome tent, and next to him was his good nephew Jiao Ke. He could only see the cold sweat on Jiao Ke's face, running down his temples, but he didn't dare to use his hands. Go wipe.

"Uncle, this ambush was considered a failure. Those nephews who contacted us have all been dealt with, but Luo Yunhou is not a good person, so he will definitely know that he did it. At that time, I am afraid that he will already suspect us."

"Well, I got it, it's not that I suspected it, but I became suspicious directly. This trick may not be able to hide it from him."

Jiao Xiong still didn't respond, as if he was asleep, but Jiao Ke was fidgeting, this attack was full of loopholes, if Luo Yunhou threatened this matter then.

"Uncle, what if Luo Yunhou catches him and won't let him go."
