Chapter eight hundred and forty first personal grudges
The wharves of Wuchang were crowded with ships of all sizes. And those ships had long been filled with the city's distinguished officials and gentry and their property. Because Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army had already arrived less than two meters away from Wuchang City.
Hundreds of miles away, those officials and gentry wanted to escape through the waterway to Jiujiang downstream, away from the aggressive Daxi Army.
However, they never expected that just when these officials and gentry were about to set off, more than twenty gunboats suddenly came from the downstream. These gunboats fired warnings and warned ships in Wuchang City not to go downstream. Anyone who violated the rules would be responsible for the consequences.
This unexpected situation caught the officials and gentry off guard. When they learned that those gunboats were General Wu of Runing, some people who still had the idea of the noble and the military and the lowly were immediately furious. Some people who did not believe in evil
They just wanted to force their way through the barrier. There was no doubt that those stupid people who broke through the barrier immediately saw the Water Dragon King.
Seeing that the gunboats really dared to take action, the officials and gentry were immediately blinded. But no matter what, let's find out the reason for General Runing Wu's anger first! So the officials and gentry gathered together: They sent people to the governor
Shihou Xun inquired about the situation, and at the same time sent a bold man, holding a white flag, to the gunboat to find out the reason for blocking the river.
The people on the gunboat were quite polite to the person who negotiated. And they also told the reason: it turned out that it was General Wu from Runing who wanted General Zuo from Huguang to hand over a woman in his mansion. As for who the woman was? Anyway,
Zuo Liangyu will definitely know it.
As soon as they learned the reason, the big officials and gentry immediately exploded. You two are jealous and snatching women, so why did you block our escape? Did you cause us to suffer unreasonable disasters?
After hearing about this incident, the Superintendent Hou Xun also made an official statement: This is a personal grudge and the government will not get involved. However, he hopes that the two generals will put the overall situation first and resolve this personal grudge as soon as possible. In the end, Hou Xun even cryptically stated the location.
Ex: Ask Zuo Liangyu to hand over this woman. How long has it been? What big deal is it to send a woman away?
The only one who is depressed is Zuo Liangyu. He is extremely confused now because he has no idea who the woman named by Runing Jun is.
Now, Zuo Liangyu no longer wants to be at odds with Wu Shigong. Therefore, he has always maintained a tolerant attitude towards the Runing Army's caravans and trading branches in Huguang, even in the process of robbing civilians.
Zuo Liangyu didn't touch any of Runingjun's properties. Therefore, he couldn't remember where he had stolen Wu Shigong's woman.
To be honest, Zuo Liangyu is now stuck in Wuchang City. Although he can take his cavalry troops to retreat downstream by land, without ships, most of the troops on foot and so many wealthy women have to transport
It didn't work. In his heart, Zuo Liangyu was even willing to give some of his daughters to Wu Shigong as concubines in order to build relationships. Could he still be reluctant to part with the concubines in the house? But the problem is here, he simply doesn't want to.
Do you know who the woman in the mansion was named by Runing Jun?
Who is that woman? Of course she is Tang Mei, the secret agent of Shanchuan Division.
Judging from the results, Tang Mei, the spy, was not very successful. Because people at that time followed the principle of men taking charge of the outside and women taking charge of the house. Generally, women in the inner house could not find any effective information. So Yamakawa Division finally discovered
.Such beautiful spies are not as good as girls arranged in the Flower House. They can learn a lot of the latest news about the court and officials from the officials who talk and show off in the Flower House.
So in the end, Yamakawa Division gave up the plan of the beauty spy. Of course, during such a long period of time, Tang Mei got some quality information. As for Tang Mei herself, Yamakawa Division certainly would not give up.
Such a spy is better than none!
But as time went by, Tang Mei's status in Zuofu also plummeted. At that time, the status of women was indeed too low. Women in the inner house, even the head wives, could be said to be old and young after they were over thirty. Many women no longer
She also couldn't get the chance to sleep with her, and Tang Mei couldn't have children, so she became a marginalized figure in the Zuofu residence.
But after Zuo Liangyu earned such a huge amount of money, he would not be short of money to support a few women. Therefore, Tang Mei's living conditions in Zuo's mansion were quite acceptable.
But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Because she has to send out information regularly, Tang Mei spends more time "shopping". Unexpectedly, she was followed by a steward sent by a certain woman in the inner house who hated her. After that,
He also reported to Zuo Liangyu that Tang Mei was suspected of cheating on Hongxing.
As a person who has undergone strict training, the secret agent of Shanchuan Division who contacted Tang Mei naturally discovered the stalker. So he immediately transferred after Tang Mei left.
After Zuo Liangyu received the report from the government, he was somewhat doubtful. The people he sent out did not catch the suspected adulterer, and Tang Mei denied Zuo Liangyu. So Zuo Liangyu was not in trouble, he
Tang Mei was confined to the inner house, and she was not allowed to have any contact with the outside world.
But in this case, it was of course inconvenient for Shanchuan Division to go to Zuofu to inquire about Tang Mei's whereabouts. After Tang Mei showed up at several backup contact points, Shanchuan Division's spies did not dare to take risks anymore and all of them withdrew to Runing.
, and reported Tang Mei's "whereabouts unknown". And this "whereabouts unknown" is synonymous with bad luck and bad luck.
Originally, the matter ended here. But when the Shanchuan Division learned that Wu Shigong needed an excuse to attack Zuo Liangyu, they immediately reported Tang Mei.
Because if it was just about robbing women, the imperial court could not accuse Runing of the annexation of arms, or in other words, it could not accuse Runing of annexation of arms as rebellion. In addition, there is circumstantial evidence from Hou Xun, so it can be well covered up.
Wu Shigong's ambition to monopolize Huguang can at least delay the exposure of this ambition.
Of course, even if there is no such excuse, the court will not do anything to Wu Shigong. But it is better to have less trouble, and we should try our best to do things as perfectly as possible.
As for whether Tang Mei can be rescued? In fact, the Runing Army itself does not care. In the eyes of Xue Zhinong and other senior officials of the Shanchuan Division, not to mention that Tang Mei's identity may have been exposed, and she may have turned into "a ball of spring mud". It is Tang Mei.
Mei was safe and sound, and Runing's army begging for Tang Mei in such a big way might put Tang Mei's life in danger. But for the benefit of Runing's army, Tang Mei, a weak woman, needed to make sacrifices.
