Chapter Seventeen Entering the City

Wang Jincai said sternly: "Although I am a merchant, I have also read the saying, 'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.' I would also like to ask the general to give this opportunity to this common man, so that he can dedicate his life to the country and the court."

Share your efforts!"

Zhang Guangcheng supported Wang Jincai, who had raised his hand in salute, and said: "Since Brother Wang has such determination, Zhang is not polite. If we are to wipe out the rebellious party this time, I will truthfully report Brother Wang's achievements to the Emperor, and ask the Emperor to commend me!"

"

After the matter of food and grass was settled, everyone discussed the matter of entering the city again. Wang Fugui said: "Dad, can you help General Zhang get a road guide to facilitate our entry into the city?"

Wang Jincai shook his head and said: "It's useless. The city gate is very tight now. Even if you have a road guide, it is not easy to enter the city without disturbing Zhu Ji." Indeed, although it is feasible to dress up as a woman, it is possible.

, but Zhang Guangcheng has a strong body and an extremely resolute face, so he may not be able to get through as easily as they did before.

Seeing that Wang Jincai's expression remained as usual, Wang Fugui asked tentatively: "Have you thought of any good ideas?"

Wang Jincai smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that the Beijing business company I mentioned to you before just happened to send someone again yesterday. They said that because the business was good, they wanted to order another batch of goods. I am going to bring the weaving workshop to the factory tomorrow.

The silk weaved just now is sent to the city.

Let them choose. If Twelve Princes and General Zhang don't mind, they can hide in the silk. Although the city gate is strictly guarded, the goods of this company are still as before, no one dares to check them, and they borrow their names.

, I think I should be able to pass the customs safely.”

After seeking Yong Cang's opinion, Zhang Guangcheng said: "Okay, just do as Brother Wang said."

Seeing that the matter was agreed upon, Zheng Luo said casually: "Uncle Wang, who is the official behind that business that makes Zhu Ji so afraid to offend him?"

"I heard that it is Mr. He Kunhe. He is now a famous person beside the emperor and is walking around the military aircraft. As long as he says a word, let alone a second-rank governor like Zhu Ji, even a first-rank minister or governor.

, and I dare not not give him some face."

"It's him, no wonder." Zheng Luo suddenly realized that in the past two years, almost anyone with a little knowledge has heard the name He Kun. This man was originally just a low-profile official, but he was proficient in Manchu, Han and Han Dynasties.

He speaks four languages, Mongolian and Tibetan, and has read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. He is an outstanding scholar and is highly appreciated by Hongli. In addition, he is good at observing people's words and expressions. His official career has been smooth sailing and has skyrocketed in a few years. Just this year, he was just appointed as the Minister of Military and Aircraft.

Yong Xin suddenly said: "Uncle Wang, are the people sent by that company still in the city at this moment?"

Wang Jincai was surprised by his question, "He will be choosing fabrics tomorrow, so he will naturally be in the city."

"Then..." Yongxun gritted his teeth and said, "Can you ask him to bring a letter to Mr. He?"

Zhang Guangcheng was the first to understand what he meant, "Brother Twelve wants to use his hand to spread the news about Jinan to the capital?"

"Yes, Uncle Wang just said that He Kun is behind the control of the company. Before he completely fell out with the court, Zhu Ji would not dare to embarrass the people in the company. If he can help us bring a letter to He Kun, even if we are in

The defeat in Jinan will at least let Huang Ama know that the third brother and Zhu Ji are colluding with the rebellious gang, and he will not be deceived again."

Zhang Guangcheng pondered for a moment and said: "This is not a bad idea, but...if this person colludes with Zhu Ji, all our plans will be interrupted, and Wang Laodi and his family will be in danger."

.”

Wang Jincai said: "Xiaomin has been cooperating with this company for some years. They come to Jinan City to buy silk and satin every once in a while. As far as Xiaomin knows, they only go there when they first come to Jinan.

I visited Zhu Ji and had no contact with him since."

Zhang Guangcheng thought about it and said, "So, Brother Wang thinks he is a trustworthy person?"

"It's not very credible, but from what Xiaomin has seen, he shouldn't be colluding with Zhu Ji. If the general is worried, he can test it himself tomorrow."

"That's fine." After talking about some things, Wang Jin arranged for the silk and satin to be delivered to the city tomorrow, and left two confidants to help Wang Fugui and others, and returned to the city first to avoid arousing suspicion.

The next day, after their servants had prepared the silk and satin, Zhang Guangcheng and Yong Cang hid in a cart full of silk and satin, while Wang Fugui and Wang Fugui disguised themselves as women and claimed to be the weavers of the weaving workshop.

Although Zheng Luo was extremely disgusted with dressing up as a woman again, he had no choice but to put on women's clothes unwillingly and hide his big feet under the skirt.

After everything was prepared, everyone pushed the cart full of silk and satin towards the city gate. When they were still more than ten feet away, they saw a long queue at the city gate. After approaching and asking, they just

I know that since yesterday, the governor has intensified the search at the city gate. Now people entering the city

, in addition to guiding the road and comparing faces, they also need to search themselves and check the things they carry with them. If there is anything suspicious, they need to be questioned one by one. After confirming that there is no suspicion, they will be released. This is true for entering and leaving the city. In this way, when entering and leaving,

The efficiency of the city became extremely low, and people had to queue up in long queues.

"I don't know what they are investigating, but they have specially mobilized so many soldiers here. Tell me, how could we be rebels? Besides, after investigating for so long, we haven't seen any rebels caught by the Yamen."

The young man carried a package and complained dissatisfiedly.

One of the people traveling with him spread his hands and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. If they want to investigate, just let them do it. We have nothing to be ashamed of, so we are not afraid."

"That's what I say, but how can I not be upset if I wait in line like this for half an hour or even longer? In my opinion, they are just using the name of search to carry out looting. Someone told me before that they saw the person in front

I gave them some money."

"Shh!" Another person made a silencing gesture and lowered his voice: "Stop talking, if those soldiers hear it, it will be in trouble."

Although the man was very dissatisfied, he listened to the advice, did not continue, and followed the team forward slowly.

Wang Fugui and Zheng Luo looked at each other, both of them sweating on their palms. They didn't know if those soldiers would sell the reputation of that company. If they didn't know the name of the company and therefore didn't want to search the car filled with silk, then that would be terrible.

That's troublesome.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally their turn. Several unfamiliar soldiers took the road guide they handed over and looked at it carefully, then compared the portraits, and then began to search the bodies one by one.

When they found Wang Fugui and Wang Fugui, the latter said in a high-pitched voice, pretending to be shy: "I haven't left the cabinet yet, so... how can I do this?"

Zheng Luo felt a chill when he heard this, but he had to cooperate with Wang Fugui's words to prevent the soldiers from finding out that they were not daughters.
