In Zhongzhen Inn, in the upper room of Yu Zihao, Mr. Zhang was drinking tea leisurely.
Wang Zhongzhen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, hurried in.
"General," Wang Zhongzhen bowed his hand and said a little anxiously, "Jinyiwei suddenly sent five thousand households, leading five thousand captains, to surround the entire Dongchang Prison like iron barrels. This tight defense,
We have no idea where to start.”
"If you don't know where to start, then let's not start. Five thousand men and horses is not a small number. I would like to see how long the Jin Yi Guards can show their loyalty." Picking up the tea bowl in his hand, Mr. Zhang took a sip and said nonchalantly.
.
"This Jinyi Guard is an agency directly under the emperor. It is a matter of course to protect the prince. I am afraid that they will not evacuate the prince until he leaves the Dongchang Prison." Wang Zhongzhen expressed his concerns.
Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Mr. Zhang took out a chicken leg from his arms: "Oh, I always stay in the palace, and I don't even get to eat what I like."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and took a hard bite, then looked at Wang Zhongzhen: "What did you say just now, are you worried that they won't evacuate? If they don't evacuate, they will evacuate. At worst, the prince won't kill him, and it won't affect our plan."
Seeing Mr. Zhang's shabby expression, Wang Zhongzhen frowned, but did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head slowly.
There are so many seafoods. If you don’t like barbecue, you just have a special liking for this kind of boiled chicken legs. If people knew about it, they would think I am so stingy.
Wang Zhongzhen murmured in his heart.
The wealth in his hands is not to say that he is rich as a country, but the military salary and funds that support the entire Ming army for five or six years are not a problem at all.
But the head of his family lived in the most luxurious upper house in the capital, but he ate boiled chicken legs without salt or oil, and he was very happy about it.
Wang Zhongzhen couldn't understand this feeling.
Seeing Wang Zhongzhen lower his head and not daring to look at his eating appearance, Mr. Zhang seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
Nibble off the last bite of meat and place the chicken bones on a plate on the table.
He wiped his mouth with his palm again, and then said slowly: "Why, you have just accumulated a little wealth, but you can't stand the poor eating chicken legs?"
Wang Zhongzhen raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhang pitifully: "No, my subordinates feel distressed when they see the general and can't bear to see it."
"Feeling distressed?" Mr. Zhang sighed lightly, stood up with his hands on the table, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the scenery outside quietly, without saying a word for a while.
Looking at Mr. Zhang standing at the window without saying a word, Wang Zhongzhen was a little at a loss.
"General, what's wrong with you?" After pondering for a long time, Wang Zhongxin summoned up his courage and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some old things." Without looking back, Mr. Zhang still looked out the window quietly and said softly.
Wang Zhongzhen understood that the old story Mr. Zhang was talking about must be an incident that happened more than 20 years ago.
Whenever this matter was brought up, Mr. Zhang would remain silent as he did now. Neither right nor wrong. Just like back then, the only thing he could do was to bear it.
"General, today is different from the past. Our situation now is much better than before. You have an overview of the overall situation and have to worry about everything. My subordinates are worried about your health. Otherwise, you can live here from now on, and I will ask someone to take care of you."
Serve three meals a day." Wang Zhongzhen said softly, bending his body.
"Serve? Look at my figure, how dare you do nothing and just sit quietly and be served?" Mr. Zhang laughed, turned around, and gently rubbed his round belly with both hands.
"My subordinate, I want you to enjoy yourself and eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas." Wang Zhongzhen also laughed.
Zhang Laojiang waved his hands and his face became serious: "The great cause has not been accomplished. No matter how much wealth we accumulate, it is just relying on others. It's not that I don't want to enjoy happiness, but I don't dare to enjoy it. I'm afraid that once I relax, I will lose the ability to continue fighting.
The confidence.”
Hearing this, Wang Zhongzhen felt embarrassed.
Mr. Zhang’s words were just accusations against himself.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to accuse you." Looking at Wang Zhongzhen, Mr. Zhang said slowly, "You are in charge of our economy, and as a businessman, you must not be stingy. After so many years, I gradually feel older
I don’t want to see the success of our great cause before I take over. Now, with several princes fighting openly and secretly, it is also the best time for us to muddy the waters, but remember, no matter what we do, someone will take the blame for us. Our
Power must never surface."
"Mr. Zhang is still afraid of Dongchang?" Wang Zhongzhen asked softly.
"Haha." Mr. Zhang laughed again, "We have taken down all the forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even donated the wealth accumulated over the years to the imperial court. This Dongchang is much more difficult to deal with than the Jinyiwei."
"If there is no Captain Ziyi in Dongchang, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang won't take it seriously, right?" Wang Zhongzhen laughed meaningfully.
Mr. Zhang shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. Lin Shangli, the master of the Dongchang factory, is also a cunning and cunning figure, and his martial arts is even more unpredictable. The purple-clothed captain is just a peerless martial artist shown by Dongchang.
Sword, there should be a group of powerful people behind him."
"General, do you mean those hundreds of households in Dongchang?" Wang Zhongzhen was startled, "Although their skills are powerful, they are not considered top masters."
"That's because the Colonel in Purple Clothes is too dazzling and blocks their light. Think about the major cases handled by Dongchang. Which one of them can the Colonel in Purple Clothes be busy on his own? These few cases in Dongchang
Although the skills of Mingbaihu are a little worse, they are still very meticulous in their thoughts. The most important thing is that the people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei are completely different. The people in Dongchang don't seem to take official career very seriously. They value it more.
It's a personal feeling, and the mind goes in one direction, just like an iron barrel. This kind of Dongchang is much more terrifying than Jin Yiwei."
Mr. Zhang said with a serious expression.
Wang Zhongzhen nodded, his face also serious: "Now that the Jinyi Guards are surrounding the Dongchang Prison, our operation is cancelled?"
"Cancelled for the time being and will try again later."
"Then, my subordinate, go and notify the following now." Wang Zhongzhen bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Mr. Zhang stopped him, "The purple-clothed captain returned to Dongchang Prison. He chased me all the way back. In other words, the prince now knows that it is King Zhao who is targeting him, but he is suffering from
Without evidence, there is nothing we can do against King Zhao."
"General, do you mean to give them evidence or not to give them evidence?" Wang Zhongzhen asked in a low voice.
"Organize manpower, kill some of the Jinyi guards on the periphery, and make it look like you want to storm the Dongchang prison. When they react, quickly retreat without leaving any clues that can be traced by the Dongchang. Lead the spearhead to seize the throne.
