The afternoon sun was strong, and the humidity from the rain made people feel even more stuffy. Xu Jin hurried to the North City Gate with all his soldiers and government officials, and saw two groups of people standing in the distance.

During the confrontation, the people on the street hid far away to avoid being affected.

Although the sergeants on both sides wear mandarin duck war jackets, there are obvious differences in the costumes of the Beijing camp and the local guards, so they can be distinguished at a glance. It is obvious that the guard troops led by Meng Chang, the commander of the Ganzhou guards, are blocking the way.

The road prevents the Beijing camp from entering the city, and the two sides are already at war with each other.

"Lord Tong San!"

Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai and others who were watching the theater outside saw Xu Jin's arrival and all stepped forward to salute. Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai, Wang Duo and others had followed Xu Jin through life and death, so they were all Xu Jin's "direct descendants", even though Xu Jin

Jin has now handed over military power, but he is still called Lord Tongpan.

Xu Jin nodded to the generals, and the surrounding guards all respectfully moved out of the way. This is influence!

Xu Jinxing walked to the front and took a look, and couldn't help but frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.

I saw Meng Chang, the commander, being escorted by several Beijing troops and kneeling on the ground. A middle-aged man who looked like a general was holding a knife on Meng Chang's neck. There was also an eunuch nearby, waving a folding fan leisurely.

There were two little eunuchs holding umbrellas to protect him from the sun.

Although Meng Chang's generals had angry faces, no one dared to step forward to save their boss. After all, the other party had powerful backgrounds. One was the Royal Horse Eunuch, a close confidant of the emperor, and the other was the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery.

Taste).

Xu Tai put the sword on Meng Chang's neck, insultingly patted the latter's cheek with his other hand, and sneered: "You are just a small guard commanding a lot of things, who gave you the courage to stop me, the general?"

Entering the city?"

Meng Chang's face turned red and purple, and he said loudly: "How dare you stop General Xu from entering the city? However, without Master Futai's permission, all foreign troops can only be stationed outside the city to avoid disturbing the people in the city. It is also the responsibility of the lower official."

, I hope General Xu and Eunuch Zhang can understand."

Zhang Zhong said strangely: "Oh, Wang Dutang (Wang Shouren) is so majestic. Could it be that the emperor's own army needs his permission to enter the city?"

Meng Chang's expression changed, and he suddenly didn't dare to answer the question.

Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly. In his previous life, the eunuchs he watched on TV were all feminine in appearance, making trouble in front of the emperor, and full of bad intentions. Now he finally learned the lesson in person. The Zhang Zhong in front of him always slapped people in the shit basin as soon as he opened his mouth.

, and it is also a serious crime to deceive the emperor. It is indeed vicious!

Xu Jin separated from the crowd and walked out. He took a step forward and saluted with his hands raised: "I've met General Xu and Zhang Jianjun!"

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong were both stunned. The latter looked Xu Jin up and down and said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh, who are you? Isn't Wu Wen a fifty-year-old bad old man? Could it be that he has rejuvenated his youth?"

"Return to your sister, I have never seen employees wearing the county magistrate's official uniform!" Xu Jin cursed in his heart. He really wanted to give this guy a punch, but with a smile on his face he said: "Zhang

My father-in-law is joking, I am the acting county magistrate Xu Jin, Master Wu is not in the city now."

Zhang Zhong looked a little strange, looked at Xu Jin again, and said: "Hey, I bet you are that Shangrao Confucian scholar Xu Jin and Xu Sanyuan."

Xu Jin was a little surprised that he was already so famous that even the eunuchs in the palace knew him?

In fact, this is not the case. As far as literary names are concerned, Xu Jin is relatively famous in Jiangxi at most. After all, he is just a small Sanyuan who was tested by a boy. His reputation as a scholar is really nothing among scholars. In addition, because Wang Cuiqiao, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, sang

"Linjiang Immortal", Xu Jin is somewhat famous in the Jiangnan area, but his literary reputation has not reached the level in the north, let alone spread to the palace.

The reason Zhang Zhong had heard of Xu Jin was because he was acquainted with another eunuch Lai Yi. As one of the imperial envoys last year, eunuch Lai came to Shangrao County to investigate the death of brother Fei Hong by bandits.

I met Xu Jin at a private banquet. At that time, Xu Jin presented a song called "Picture of Picking Woodcutter", which made Prince Ning lose face.

Later, Xu Jin and Prince Ning had a conflict in the street, and Sun Sui finally deported him to Nanchang. Lai Yi was also present at that time, so he was very impressed by Xu Jin, and mentioned it to Zhang Zhong after returning to Beijing.

Xu Tai glanced sideways at Xu Jin. As a martial arts champion, he always looked down on scholars and said calmly: "Eunuch Zhang has a relationship with this person?"

Zhang Zhongpi smiled and said: "That's not true. I just heard Eunuch Lai mention it. I heard that Prince Ning spent a lot of money to buy poems in the name of celebrating his father's birthday. Many scholars rushed to offer birthday poems. Only this

Xu Sanyuan wrote a satirical poem to admonish King Ning. As you read it, a woman calls her husband and the husband listens to her. The burden of picking wood is light..."

Xu Tai quickly interrupted: "What kind of husband and wife, it's a mess, it's sour. Xu Jin, right? Wang Shouren didn't come in person, and sent you, a big-ass county magistrate, to humiliate this general?"

Since Xu Jin had nothing to do with Zhang Zhong, Xu Tai was naturally rude and his tone was full of arrogance.

Xu Jin looked calmly and said: "General Xu is serious. Master Futai is not in the city right now, and Master Wu has also gone to inspect the flood situation."

Xu Tai said with a bad look: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Of course we have to solve the problem!"

Xu Tai laughed contemptuously: "Solve the problem? You are just a seventh-grade county magistrate. You think too highly of yourself!"

Xu Jin said calmly: "I am the magistrate of Nanchang County, responsible for public security and miscellaneous affairs in the city. Since Mr. Wu is not here, naturally I am responsible for receiving General Xu and Eunuch Zhang. The weather is hot, maybe General Xu wants to spend time here?"

"

Xu Tai was speechless when he heard the words. It was really hot right now. In addition, in order to show his authority, this guy specially wore a suit of armor, and he was already sweating.

Meng Chang heard that Xu Jin actually wanted to arrange for the Beijing army to enter the city, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Jin, without Sir Wu's permission, privately allowed foreign troops to enter the city. If something happens, who is responsible for you or me?"

Xu Jin said calmly: "Of course it is my responsibility. The weather is hot right now, and the brothers from the Beijing army have come all the way. How can we turn them away from the city? This is not the way to treat guests. I have heard that the Beijing camp is the elite of our Ming Dynasty.

Master, the discipline is strict, could it be possible that Commander Meng is still worried that they will disturb the people in the city?"

When those Beijing troops heard this, they proudly puffed up their chests and looked proud!

Xu Jin knew that it was impossible to stop the Beijing army from entering the city, and hard resistance would only intensify conflicts and even cause serious consequences, so he retreated in order to advance. On the surface, he was praising the Beijing army, but in fact, he added a "tightening curse" to the Beijing army to make these big leaders

Soldiers should not act recklessly in the city.

Zhang Zhong clapped his hands and said, "Oh, look at this guy. He is indeed someone who has drank ink. He knows how to talk and behave. General Xu, our house is extremely hot. Let's talk about it after we go to the city!"
