When Wang Shouren called on the state governments to raise troops to quell the rebellion, Wu Wending was the first to respond. Moreover, in the Battle of Poyang Lake, Wu Wending was the commander-in-chief and faced King Ning's navy head-on. He braved the rain of artillery and arrows to supervise the battle on the bow of the ship, so everyone except Wang Shouren

, it was Wu Wending who made the greatest contribution.

Now that Zhang Zhong was slandering him as an accomplice of the rebel King Ning, Wu Wending couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "I personally led the army to defeat and capture King Ning. How dare you, a eunuch, slander me!"

Wu Wending's words of "eunuch" stung Zhang Zhong. Eunuch Zhang suddenly jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, jumped on his feet and screamed: "Wu Wending, what happened? He was hit.

Our family is so angry that we are so embarrassed? General Xu, please have him tied up. We suspect that he is an accomplice of the traitor!"

Xu Tai was very angry because he failed to get Prince Ning, and Wu Wending was Wang Shouren's confidant, so he took out his anger on him and shouted: "Come here, arrest Wu Wending, the rebel comrade, and hold him accountable!"

"

As soon as the words were spoken, more than a dozen Beijing troops rushed in and captured Wu Wending with murderous intent. Wu Wending's subordinates were also forced to hold him with swords by other Beijing troops.

Wu Wending was a tough guy. He was not afraid when two Beijing soldiers had his hands cut behind his back. Instead, he yelled: "I risked my life to put down the rebels for the country. What crime did I commit? You are the emperor's confidants, but you insulted the loyal ministers and righteous men who put down the rebels."

, to avenge the rebels, I think you are the rebels’ accomplices, you are the ones who deserve to be killed!"

"Fuck your mother!" Xu Tai became angry and kicked Wu Wending to the ground.

"Master Wu!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Wending's subordinates rushed to help him up without caring about their own safety, and surrounded him with protection, glaring at Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong.

Wu Wending was obviously kicked badly, and his face was pale from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhang thief Xu thief, if you have the ability, kill me, it depends on the laws of nature and the country that will not tolerate you."

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong both looked ugly. Although they were arrogant, they did not dare to kill meritorious ministers. What's more, Wu Wending was the highest official in Nanchang and was extremely prestigious both in the officialdom and the army. If they killed him, it would cause turmoil in Nanchang.

If there is a riot, then the gains outweigh the losses, and you might even end up losing your life.

In the main hall, the two sides glared at each other and faced each other in a tense situation. Xu Tai's eyes flashed coldly, obviously still weighing whether to take action.

Although Xu Jin had no personal relationship with Wu Wending, the emotional balance still tilted towards the civil servants. What's more, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai were really unkind, so he stepped forward and said: "Eunuch Zhang, as far as I know, although Prince Ning is rich,

He has the most money in the world, but most of the money in the palace has been transported to the capital to manage the rich and powerful. Therefore, when the Prince Ning's palace was searched, there was not much money, but a ledger was found. Now in the hands of Mr. Futai, if Eunuch Zhang doesn't believe it

, you can ask after Mr. Futai comes back."

Originally, when Wu Wending saw Xu Jinxing coming out, his eyebrows immediately stood up, but after hearing what Xu Jin said, he was stunned and then showed a thoughtful expression.

However, the expressions of Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai changed slightly. In order to restore the three guards of the palace, Prince Ning indeed bribed all the powerful officials with gold and silver. Even Yang Tinghe, the current chief minister of the cabinet, took advantage of Prince Ning. Naturally, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai

No exception. Now Wang Shouren has found the account book of Prince Ning's bribery. Doesn't that mean that he has something in Wang Shouren's hands?

At this time, even Wu Wending's subordinates tasted the beauty of Xu Jin's words and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Their eyes on Xu Jin changed. Before, they despised Xu Jin for flattering Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Zhang Zhong glanced at Xu Jin coldly and said calmly: "County Magistrate Xu, please don't talk nonsense. I am only a county magistrate. How can Wang Dutang even tell you such a thing?"

Although Zhang Zhong looked at Xu Jin, he immediately fell out when he saw that Xu Jin was clearly on Wu Wending's side!

Xu Jin's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Of course Master Futai didn't tell me, I just heard it through hearsay."

If Wu Wending was not clever at this time, then his career in officialdom would be in vain. He said coldly: "It is true that Xu Ziqian said, the account book is now in the hands of Mr. Futai."

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong looked at each other. As the saying goes, it is better to believe that they have it than to believe it. What if Wang Shouren really has the account book of Prince Ning's bribery? Moreover, Wang Shouren escorted Prince Ning to the north last month. If he saw the emperor,

Wouldn't it be bad to submit the ledger?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai became restless!

Xu Jin took the opportunity and said: "Since we have the account book, it will be easy to handle. When Mr. Futai comes back, General Xu and Eunuch Zhang can ask for it to check. Well, General Xu and Eunuch Zhang are tired after a long journey, so I will not disturb you two from resting."

,Farewell!"

As Xu Jin said this, he turned around and saluted Wu Wending: "I'm taking my leave!"

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and exited the hall. He had broken the deadlock and gave both sides a chance to step down. If they could still fight, there was nothing he could do to help.

Wu Wending snorted coldly at Zhang and Xu, and left angrily with his subordinates. He had just been kicked in the face, so naturally he would not look good.

Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai looked cold. After a long time, the latter asked in a low voice and doubtfully: "Eunuch Zhang, do you think Wang Shouren really has the account book in his hand?"

Zhang Zhongyin said: "So what if there is, let me ask all the dignitaries in the court, who has confiscated the benefits of Prince Ning? The implication is too wide, we don't believe that Wang Shouren dared to submit the account book to the emperor!"

Xu Tai said anxiously: "Having said that, we have to be careful. We have to send a fast horse back to say hello to Commander Jiang (Jiang Bin)!"

Zhang Zhong nodded and said: "That's exactly what it should be!"

…

"Xu Ziqian, stay!" Not far from the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, Wu Wending called to Xu Jin in front of him.

Xu Jin stopped, raised his hands and saluted, "Xia Guan happened to have something to tell Mr. Wu. Seeing that there are still more than two months left before the provincial examination, Xia Guan wants to resign from the post of county magistrate and study with peace of mind to take the exam!"

A trace of apology flashed in Wu Wending's eyes. Before, he thought that Xu Jin was flattering by arranging Xu and Zhang to stay in Prince Ning's Mansion. However, just now Xu Jin did not hesitate to offend Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai and spoke out to save himself. From this, it seemed that he had misunderstood.

Wu Wending also calmed down at this time. After thinking about it carefully, Prince Ning's Mansion was indeed the most suitable place in Nanchang City to station the Beijing army.

Wu Wending said in a friendly manner: "Xu Ziqian, you are the county magistrate appointed by Mr. Futai. If you want to resign, you should wait until Mr. Futai comes back. During this time, you can study in peace and don't worry about anything else."

Xu Jin had no choice but to nod his head when he heard this. In fact, he was living very comfortably in the backyard of the county government office. He didn't have to take care of things and he still had his salary, so why not? What's more, with Wu Wending's words, he could be a free hand in a grand manner.

Now that I'm the shopkeeper, I will definitely not care about anything from now on!

Looking at Xu Jin's handsome back, Wu Wending couldn't help but secretly lamented that Mr. Futai had a unique vision. Today, he easily "subdued" Zhang Erxu with just one sentence. Not only did he save himself, but he also cut off Zhang Zhong's love for Ning.
