Chapter 553 Guo Juren

Zhang Wenhe pointed to Zhuangzi in front and asked, "General Xu, is the Zhuangzi in front called Guojiazhuang?"

General Xu didn't know what the Zhuangzi was called in front of him, so he recruited his own soldiers and asked, "What's the name of the Zhuangzi in front of him?"

The personal soldier replied: "Sir, the Zhuangzi in front is indeed called Guojiazhuang, and there is a Guo Juren living in the Zhuangzi."

"It's really Guojiazhuang." General Xu said to himself, and then said to Zhang Wenhe, "Mr. Zhang has an acquaintance in Guojiazhuang? Could it be that Juren Guo?"

Zhang Wenhe did not answer, but said, "I won't bother General Xu tonight, I will live in the village."

"Since Mr. Zhang has an acquaintance in Guojiazhuang, I will not keep it. I will send someone to escort Mr. Zhang into the village." General Xu said.

"No need." Zhang Wenhe waved his hand to refuse, and then said to the sedan chair owner, "Pick up the sedan chair and enter the village."

Two sedan chairmen lifted the sedan chair, one in front and one behind, and walked towards the village in front.

General Xu stood there without moving or stopping him, allowing Zhang Wenhe to leave.

When Zhang Wenhe's sedan chair walked away, a general from Fubiao camp came up and said, "Sir, this guy is here to monitor us, and he doesn't understand anything. He often makes trouble along the way. If it weren't for his aide to the governor, I would have twisted his head off long ago."

The general who spoke was dissatisfied.

Before, Zhang Wenhe wanted to divide the salary for one month of Fubiao Camp, which had already made many generals in Fubiao Camp dissatisfied. Originally, the salary for the generals belonging to them would not allow an outsider to intervene and divide the benefits.

General Xu said calmly: "You said too, he is an aide to the governor, so we don't have to offend this person just because of a few words."

"That's right, you, if you were the last general, you would have been unable to stand it anymore." The general said.

Upon hearing this, General Xu smiled.

It's okay to listen to this, but it's not taken seriously.

A person who can be a general in Fubiao Camp for so long will naturally not be a rash man. If he were a rash man, he would not be able to stay in Fubiao Camp forever and could still be the commander.

At this time, a personal soldier ran over and came closer and said, "Sir, we just ran over outside the camp and rode a fast horse. The direction we were heading was Daliang Mountain, which should be the spy from Daliang Mountain."

"Never mind, a group of bandits are just. Even if they know in advance that our Fubiao camp came to Daliangshan to suppress the bandits, it would be the end of being suppressed." General Xu waved his hand disapprovingly.

The general next to him also said: "It is normal for the bandits on Daliang Mountain to hear the noise when they hear it. However, the bandits are bandits after all, and they cannot compare with our Fubiao Camp. We are the governor's personal army."

"Yes." The personal soldier responded.

General Xu looked at his personal soldiers and said, "We have been here in Guojiazhuang for so long. Why is there no movement in the village? Take people to the village to see them and find someone in the village who can be in charge of the affairs. Tell him that if you don't want the army to enter the village, prepare your filial piety."

"Yes." The personal soldier agreed and turned around and left.

The general next to him said, "The most prestigious person in Zhuangzi is the Guo Juren. The Guo family has produced a Jinshi for more than three generations, and it is also considered a scholarly family. Now there is only one Juren left."

General Xu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "If the Censor of the Guo family was still in the Censorate, I would have been a little concerned. Now I am just a phoenix with hair loss. A juren is bullshit in front of me."

"The general saw Mr. Zhang going to Zhuangzi directly. Maybe he knew this Juren Guo." The general next to him said worriedly.

"It's okay." General Xu waved his hand.

Seeing that he didn't care, the other party stopped talking.

The soldiers of Fubiao Camp were delayed in doing things, and finally set up the camp tent before it was completely dark and arranged patrol soldiers.

At this time, the personal soldiers sent by General Xu to Zhuangzi had already left for a while.

Inside the village, there is a large mansion with two large lanterns hanging outside the door, each with the character Guo.

"Brother Muzhi has been here in Datong for so long, and I have always wanted to visit him, but unfortunately I have been inconvenient and have not been able to make a trip. I can only give someone a gift to express my apology." Juren Guo said with a smile.

Opposite him, the person sitting was Zhang Wenhe who left the camp and came to the village.

Zhang Wenhe smiled and said, "Brother Guo is out of here. I should have visited him. Unfortunately, there are too many things in the yamen and I have never been able to make time. So I have been delaying it again and again. It is not until today that I have the opportunity to come to Brother Guo's mansion."

"It is normal for Brother Mu Zhi to work with the governor to be busy." Juren Guo smiled, "This time Brother Mu Zhi comes to my house, so he must stay for a few more days to give Brother Wei a chance to entertain him."

"My brother Yu also wants to talk about the past with Brother Guo, but unfortunately he still has business and can't stay for a long time..." Zhang Wenhe shook his head slightly.

When Guo Juren heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "There is a Ming army outside the village. Could it be that Brother Mu Zhi came to Guojiazhuang with that Ming army?"

Zhang Wenhe nodded and said, "The Governor arranged for Fubiao Camp to go to Daliangshan to suppress bandits. As a staff member around the Governor, I can only follow Fubiao Camp to Daliangshan."

When I said this, my tone was inevitably mixed with some resentment.

After all, he is also a juren. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although he only follows Fubiao Camp to Daliang Mountain, accidents will inevitably occur on the battlefield. From the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to follow Fubiao Camp to Daliang Mountain to suppress bandits.

"Why is Fubiao Camp going to suppress the bandits? Daliang Mountain belongs to Datong East Road. Even if the bandits are suppressed, it should be the general Li Shen from Xinpingbao." Guo Juren said in confusion.

"This is the order of the governor." Zhang Wenhe said.

As for why Governor Xu Tong asked Fubiao Camp to suppress the bandits, he naturally would not explain to Juren Guo in front of him, because it involves the matter of suppressing the bandits and taxes.

When Juren Guo heard that it was the governor who arranged for Fubiao camp to come to Daliangshan to suppress the bandits, he stopped asking and said, "I have arranged to prepare a banquet. Brother Mu Zhi must have a few drinks later."

"Sure." Zhang Wenhe smiled and replied.

Both of them were both candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam, and they were old acquaintances.

However, both of them failed and returned to their hometowns, so they had no contact. Later, he followed Xu Tong to Datong. The Juren Guo learned from somewhere that he was a governor's aide. He sent people to visit him several times, but he refused and only accepted the things he sent to him.

This time he came to Daliangshan with Fubiao Camp. Since he arrived at Guojiazhuang, he naturally did not want to stay overnight. Living at Guo Juren's house is more comfortable than staying in the camp.

Thumb thumb... A sound of footsteps came.

A servant from the Guo family trotted all the way to the house.

Juren Guo in the room frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How did the butler teach you how to do things? I haven't seen me talking to the guest."
