As soon as everyone entered the house, before they even reached the screen wall, a group of servants came shouting out. They must have heard the news, and they were all holding sticks and looking fierce.
"What do you want to do?" Cheng Chongdao yelled, and the steel sword was unsheathed. Immediately, all the more than twenty guards behind him unsheathed their swords, cocked their crossbows, and the atmosphere became tense. The servant's face changed drastically, and he was stunned.
From the beginning to the end, only Chang Yu and Zhu Cixiang remained calm-faced. One of them was used to this kind of scene and had no fear at all. The other was a newborn calf with natural confidence and could not care less about this small scene.
"Where's Li Guozhen?" Chang Yu said and walked directly into the courtyard regardless of the servants.
The servants wanted to stop them, but when they saw the clothes on Tang Potian and others and the weapons in their hands, they didn't dare to move.
The Earl's Mansion was very large, with dazzling pavilions and pavilions. It was a standard mansion, but Chang Yu had no intention of admiring the gardens. He just kept pointing at the figures in military uniforms working in the courtyard and said to Zhu Cihong: "You
Look, look, the emperor is so blatant at his feet, even your gatekeeper has been dragged to clean the yard by this guy."
Zhu Cixiang was wearing a scarf and couldn't see his face, but his eyes seemed to be on fire. He clenched his hands tightly and suddenly grabbed a steel knife from a guard beside him. He held it in his hand and walked quickly.
"Yes, yes, chop her off." Chang Yu couldn't help adding fuel to the fire, not afraid that the prince would chop him off when he got excited. The drama would be so big that Chongzhen's head would probably grow twice as big.
The two of them hurried inside with more than twenty guards. They met many servants along the way, but no one dared to stop them. They just turned back and ran back in a hurry. They should have sent a message, but they happened to be leading the way to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu even strode forward and shouted loudly: "Li Guozhen, come out here. When will you pay back the money you owe me?".
"Who..." After breaking into the Third Courtyard, Chang Yu was about to curse again. Suddenly, a scolding came from inside. It sounded a bit familiar, but when he took a closer look, he saw that it was not Li Guozhen or someone else.
Li Guozhen was also startled. It was obvious that Chang Yu's arrival surprised and surprised him. There was also the man with his face covered. Based on his familiarity with the old Zhu family in the palace, he knew it was Zhu Cihong by smell.
"When did you have so much money..." Chang Yu was about to curse and provoke Zhu Cixi to take action, but he suddenly stopped because he saw several large cars parked behind Li Guozhen, and more than ten servants were carrying them from a side room.
He was carrying boxes in and out. It was obvious that the side room was the entrance to the basement, and these boxes were naturally filled with silver.
"It turns out that I am asking for money. Eunuch Chang is too impatient. I have to load this lot of money into a car and bring it to you." Li Guozhen said this almost through gritted teeth. It was rare that he could hold back his anger. In his opinion,
During this period of time, it was almost a burden. First, he lost money and was humiliated by Chang Yu in front of the Qianqing Gate. Then he found that he had fallen out of favor. Even yesterday, he was called into the palace and was severely beaten by Chongzhen.
He was scolded, and the reason was that the military discipline in the Beijing camp was lax and his leadership was incompetent.
The lack of discipline in the army in the Beijing camp did not happen in a day or two. Why should I take the blame for freezing three feet in a day? He felt unfair for this, but he did not spend any money to feel the pain. He followed Chang Yu's words and went to visit Zhu Chunchen's house, but the old man
Zhu closed the door and did not accept guests. He said he was ill and did not see anyone. However, he sent a message to him: pay him the money honestly, otherwise his family would be destroyed.
These words are extremely frightening to think about. A veteran nobleman like Zhu Chunchen, with such deep background, honestly paid money and was so scared that he was bedridden or deliberately pretending to be ill. The amount of information conveyed is too great and thought-provoking.
After thinking about it all night, Li Guoji got up early in the morning and went to Dingguo Duke's Mansion to find Xu Yunzhen to find out. Old Xu was also an old man. Although he didn't know the truth as well as Zhu Chunchen, he still guessed it. After much deliberation, he still persuaded Li Guoji to agree.
Accept the bet and hand over the money.
Unwilling to give up, Li Guojian went to several princes' mansions to find out. It turned out that they had already paid. Wang Dehua and others who came to ask for money conveyed a message in and out of their words. My backstage is very tough, not to mention that you owe debts and repay them.
It is natural and reasonable. In fact, the main reason is that they owe less.
At this time, Li Guoji finally figured out some joints. It's not that this idiot's reaction was slower than others, but because he was really reluctant to cut his flesh and subconsciously didn't think about it.
Now I finally wake up after being slapped in the face by everyone. I feel that this matter has something to do with Chongzhen. Even if it doesn't matter, he will never let him go when he is in urgent need of money, and he will also clear his name and collect gambling debts. This is not
He has no choice whether to donate as much as he wants or not to donate voluntarily.
However, he didn’t expect that the other party was so anxious and even called at the door. This made Li Guoji, who had always been angry, how could he not be angry? However, this guy could hold back because he recognized Zhu Cixiang at the first sight, especially that kid.
He was holding a knife in his hand and shaking it back and forth, as if he could lose control at any moment.
So he had no choice but to turn off the engine, pretending not to recognize Zhu Cixiang, and kept staring at Chang Yu, wanting to kill him with his eyes.
"Who, who said our family can't wait any longer?" Chang Yu was surprised at what he saw. He wanted to find an excuse to smash it, but unexpectedly they were packing the boxes, which was embarrassing.
"Oh, isn't it possible that Eunuch Chang is here to collect money? Why is he coming to my house to drink tea?" Li Guozhen mocked.
"Bah, our family has never drunk any good tea in the palace, so we are attracted by your rotten leaves." Chang Yu rolled his eyes and glanced around the side courtyard: "Our family was ordered to investigate the case."
Investigating a case? Li Guozhen frowned, with a puzzled look on his face: "What case did you come to my house to investigate?"
"On the orders of the Emperor, we investigate the case of corruption in the Beijing camp, bending the law, malpractice, using public weapons for personal gain, and taking away wages for free." Chang Yu stared at Li Guozhen and gritted his teeth and said each word, and took a step forward without saying a word.
After saying this, he had already walked less than half a step in front of Li Guozhen, which made the old boy take a step back in shock.
"Let go..." Li Guozhen was about to scold him, but suddenly he saw that Chang Yu's eyes were wrong, and he looked at the servants in the yard with a half-smile but not a smile. He was still confused, but soon his head buzzed, as if the world was spinning, yes, full
The ** of the ten members of the courtyard family are soldiers in the Beijing camp.
"The Ming Dynasty sergeant came to protect the family and the country, but it is unimaginable that he was treated as a domestic slave by Uncle Xiangcheng. I think the emperor, the nine-fifth emperor, only used us eunuchs to do coolies. Uncle Xiangcheng, your level is comparable.
The sky is high!"
"You, you, don't talk nonsense." Li Guozhen felt that his legs were going weak. He really thought that Chongzhen was going to investigate him. No wonder he felt clearly out of favor recently. He had already beaten him, but now... thinking of Chongzhen now.
He was very suspicious at night and would kill someone if he did something wrong, which immediately made his legs weak from fear.
"I'm just sending money to the palace today. I'm worried about the safety on the road, just in case I need to mobilize some guards from the barracks. Eunuch Chang, don't make any nonsense and frame me up!" Li Guozhen's face turned the color of pig liver.
After saying this, Chang Yu was startled. This old boy was quite clever and found an excuse in a blink of an eye. However, he could not be spared so lightly.
"Uncle Xiangcheng, you and I know what is right and wrong. Even a blind man knows what is going on in front of us. Our family is just ordered to investigate and report back to the emperor. The emperor can judge what is right and wrong."
"You, you... I want to enter the palace and have sex with the Emperor. You don't even think about taking my shit." Li Guozhen immediately became anxious.
"Hey, okay, you go quickly," Chang Yu said, and suddenly a clever idea came to his mind, and he immediately thought of a big plan to make a fortune!
He stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Cixiang aside and muttered for a while. Zhu Cixiang's eyes lit up, he nodded to Chang Yu, casually threw away the steel knife in his hand, turned around and left!
"Too...he, what is he going to do?" Li Guozhen suddenly panicked and felt something was wrong!
"Uncle Xiangcheng, you, the governor of the capital, are going to end up here." Chang Yu turned to look at Li Guozhen and sneered.
Li Guozhen was startled, and his whole body felt foggy.
