Linghu Chong followed Ning Zhongze's order and went down the mountain, but he was not in a hurry to look for Yue Buqun. He found a restaurant, ordered some wine, and was drinking happily there.
Several Jianghu people at the next table were sitting there drinking and talking about what was happening in the Jianghu.
One of them drank a bowl of wine in one gulp and said, "Brothers, have you heard that recently in our Huashan territory, many of our Jianghu comrades were suddenly kidnapped by the Jinyiwei people?"
A red-faced man slapped the table and said with some alcohol: "Black-faced ghost, one-hand, jade-faced little dragon, these people were all captured by the Jin Yiwei. I heard that they all had their cultivation levels crippled and were beaten.
Once you're in prison, you'll be waiting to be executed by Queen Qiu."
The man who was playing with a flying knife sneered and said: "I heard that our Jinyi Guards in Huashan Prefecture has appointed a new Jinyi Guard Qianhu. It is this Jinyi Guard Qianhu who led people to take us people to receive merit. It is really abominable."
."
One person asked curiously: "There is a new Jinyiwei Qianhu. I don't know where this person comes from. He dares to make things difficult for me and other fellow Jianghu people. Isn't he afraid that someone will pick off his head in his sleep one day?"
"Everyone in our generation will find the imperial eagle dog and kill it!"
"That's right, it's just a royal guard for a thousand households. It's just a new official taking office. He dares to use brothers like us as his meritorious service. This is contempt for us!"
"If you offend me, I will even dare to kill the emperor's imperial envoys. It's just a mere guard of thousands of households. What's the point of killing him!"
"Whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are tools used by the imperial court to suppress the people in my world. We will never give in!"
Linghu Chong was drinking on the side. Hearing the words of these people in the world, he couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right. Just like Chu Yi, the most notorious traitor in the world, everyone from Jin Yiwei to Dongchang can be killed!"
Linghu Chong had an extraordinary aura, and his demeanor of a prodigal was naturally well recognized by people from all three religions and sects in the world. Seeing that Linghu Chong's words were consistent with their stance, everyone had a good impression of Linghu Chong at the first sight.
A man with a scarred face burst out laughing, bowed his hands to Linghu Chong and said, "Young hero, that's right. I wonder if you can give me a favor and drink with us!"
Linghu Chong came forward with the wine jar, sat down and said, "What's the harm?"
Seeing how generous Linghu Chong was, the scarred man high-fived and exclaimed: "Okay, I'm in Xiadong Village Ba Wu, I don't know what the young hero should call me!"
Everyone stared at Linghu Chong. After all, Linghu Chong was extraordinary and had good cultivation. He was at least much better than them. It was obvious at a glance that he was from a famous family.
Linghu Chong took a sip of the fine wine and said, "Linghu Chong, I've met you all in Huashan Mountain!"
Ba Wu couldn't help but his expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that your Excellency is actually the disciple of Mr. Jianyue, the gentleman of Huashan Mountain, Linghu Chong?"
Linghu Chong cupped his fists and said, "That's right!"
Everyone looked at Linghu Chong with quite complicated eyes. Most of them were members of the three religions and nine currents, and many of them were notorious in the world. They had always drawn swords against the righteous people in the world without saying anything, so the relationship was naturally extremely bad.
of.
One of them looked at Linghu Chong and said: "I never thought that your Excellency is actually a high disciple of Huashan. We are ashamed. I admire Brother Linghu's temperament, but Brother Linghu should know that our reputation in the world is extremely bad. Wait here with me."
If we drink together, I'm afraid it will stain the reputation of Brother Linghu!"
Linghu Chong waved his hand and said with a proud face: "How can I, Linghu Chong, be that kind of person? Since you all think highly of me, then you are my Linghu Chong's friends!"
Everyone obviously didn't expect that Linghu Chong would be so informal and not care about their status. He knew that they had a very bad reputation in the world and still interacted with them.
"Hahaha, since Brother Linghu doesn't dislike us, then we will dare to match Brother Linghu!"
Linghu Chong raised his glass and said, "Come, let's have a drink together!"
Several notorious people in the world stood up one by one and raised their glasses to Linghu Chong: "For brother Linghu, let's drink together!"
After drinking until he got up, Ba Wu said to Linghu Chong: "Brother Linghu also said before that Jin Yiwei and everyone in Dongchang can be killed. Recently, colleagues in the world have been harmed by thousands of households of the newly appointed Jin Yiwei. It's not as good as Linghu Chong."
How about brother Fox ascending high and shouting, gathering a group of Jianghu comrades and killing those thousands of Jin Yiwei!"
Everyone looked at Linghu Chong expectantly. Linghu Chong shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, Linghu Chong is just a junior in the world. How can he be qualified to rise up and lead everyone?"
As he spoke, Linghu Chong clasped his fists at the crowd and said, "You are much more famous in the world than Linghu. If you stand high and shout, Linghu is willing to wave the flag and shout for you, and we will eliminate the traitors together!"
Ba Wu laughed and said: "Everyone, Brother Linghu does not despise our status and is worthy of our brothers. This time we will definitely help Brother Linghu do something big so that we can help Brother Linghu become famous!"
"Yes, no matter what, we must help Brother Linghu become famous!"
"Kill thousands of Jin Yiwei families and help Brother Linghu become famous!"
Soon, a crowd of people gathered around Linghu Chong and left the restaurant. Linghu Chong couldn't push him away, so he was dragged by them to gather men to prepare for the newly appointed Jin Yiwei Qianhu.
A burst of fast horses passed by, and several warriors in golden uniforms rode fast horses, followed closely by Zheng Baihu and Yue Buqun in bullfighting uniforms.
Yue Buqun is a member of the Qianhu Jinyiwei family. Although looking at the capital, there are a lot of Jinyiwei Qianhu who have been rewarded by the emperor, but those are just empty titles and have no real power at all.
However, Yue Buqun's Qianhu Jinyiwei had real power. His subordinates could easily mobilize hundreds of Jinyiwei warriors, and even got the Feiyu suit given by Chu Yi.
Jin Yiwei generally wears embroidered spring knives and flying fish clothes as their costumes, which can be described as graceful and grand. Generally, the Feiyu clothes are only given to those who have made meritorious service in Jin Yiwei. As for the python suit, looking at the Jin Yiwei, only a few people can get it.
Received the imperial gift from the emperor.
Above the official level, whenever they saw the costumes of Yue Buqun and his party, everyone was startled and immediately dodged away, no one dared to block them wherever they passed.
If Dongchang's evil reputation is more limited to the capital, then Jinyiwei's evil reputation is really known to everyone in the world.
Now that we have seen so many Jinyi guards approaching, who dares to stand in the way? Even if they are killed, they may not be able to find a place to redress their grievances.
Yue Buqun glanced at the people around him who looked at them with awe. Normally, he, the newly appointed Jinyiwei Qianhu, kept a very low profile. In addition, due to the need to hide his identity, even within the Jinyiwei, except for a few
Outside of hundreds of households, no one else even knows his name.
Therefore, Yue Buqun had never had the experience of leading the royal guards on horseback in broad daylight. It could be said that this was the first time he felt being looked at with awe.
"This is what a man should do!"
Yue Buqun took a deep breath, swung his whip and whipped the horse beneath him, and shouted: "Drive!"
The residence of the prefect Wei Hong was naturally located in a large city. Naturally, the gatekeeper at the city gate did not dare to stop Yue Buqun and his party, and watched as they rode into the city.
With Zheng Baihu leading the way, everyone headed straight to Wei Hong's mansion.
At the magistrate's residence, Wei Hong heard the commotion and personally brought the housekeeper to the gate to greet him.
Yue Buqun stood on his horse and saw Wei Hong, the prefect, laughing loudly and approaching him. He bowed his hands and said, "Since I received Yue Qianhu's greeting invitation, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Today Qianhu
Your Excellency's arrival will immediately make this mansion of my family shine with glory!"
Yue Buqun turned over and dismounted, with a smile on his face, he saluted Wei Hong and said, "Yue Buqun, the Qianhu of Jinyi Guards, has met the prefect!"
Wei Hong stepped forward and looked at Yue Buqun, stroking his beard and admiring: "I have always heard that the newly appointed Lord Qianhu of Jinyiwei is gentle and elegant. He is a scholar of our generation. When I saw him today, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous. Yue Qianhu is really
So charming."
Wei Hong seemed very enthusiastic when he led Yue Buqun into the mansion. Inside the gate, several Wei Hong's chief clerks and other officials greeted Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun also returned the greetings to everyone in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
In the hall, the guests and hosts were seated. When the fine wine and delicacies were served, Wei Hong raised his glass to Yue Buqun and said, "Master Yue took office not long ago. We should have taken over the job for Master Qianhu early, but we never thought that it would be today."
I just have the opportunity, you all will join me, drink this cup together, and support Lord Yue!"
All the officials stood up and toasted to Yue Buqun, but Yue Buqun didn't even dare to say anything and drank with everyone.
After three drinks and five meals, Wei Hong's eyes fell on Yue Buqun and said, "Master Qianhu is here this time. I wonder if you have anything to teach me?"
It had been several months since Yue Buqun took office, but he had never come to visit him. Now that he suddenly came, Wei Hong was naturally very curious.
Yue Buqun glanced at Wei Hong, chuckled and said: "Yue was busy rectifying the internal affairs of the Jinyi Guard House, so he didn't have time to come and visit you. Now that Yue is finally free, he came to visit you."
Sir, please forgive me."
Generally speaking, there is no good thing when the Jinyiwei come to visit. In addition, the Jinyiwei are the Emperor's personal soldiers, and they play the role of the Emperor's eyes and ears in the local area. Therefore, most officials keep a respectful distance from the Jinyiwei and try not to get involved with them.
Contact will not occur.
After all, no one knew what leverage they had that would fall into Jin Yiwei's hands, and they didn't know whether the other party might have bad things to say about themselves in the secret report presented to the emperor.
Wei Hong was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yue Qianhu was just joking. It's an honor for us that Mr. Qianhu is willing to give us some thin noodles."
Other officials also nodded and said: "What you said is true. Please ask the Qianhu adults to take more care of you in the future!" Yue Buqun said with an unconcerned look: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. We all belong to different families.
But they are all serving the Ming Dynasty and relieving His Majesty's worries, right? As long as Yue can do it, he will definitely help everyone."
As he said this, Yue Buqun raised his glass to Wei Hong and said, "When Yue settles down, we will hold a banquet in this city. Then I hope you will show your respect to me!"
We were originally worried that Yue Buqun would be hard to talk to, but we didn't expect that the newly appointed Jin Yiwei Qianhu would be so easy to talk to. Naturally, everyone let go of their worries a lot, and the eyes they looked at Yue Buqun became kinder and closer.
During the dinner, Wei Hong and Yue Buqun discussed the situation between the DPRK and China. Their words were impeccable. In the eyes of others, Wei Hong, the imperial guard with thousands of households, was a close friend when they drank together.
, the banquet is finally over.
Several guards in royal robes helped Yue Buqun out of Wei Hong's mansion and into a carriage. In the carriage, Yue Buqun, who had fallen asleep drunkenly, was sitting in the carriage, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Drunk.
Zheng Hu sat opposite Yue Buqun, smelling of alcohol, and said with a hint of drunkenness: "Sir, you really have a good drinker, you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Yue Buqun waved his hand and said: "Wei Hong is an old fox. I tried several times, but the other party changed the subject without any trace."
Zheng Hu narrowed his eyes and said: "In your opinion, what should we do next? Should my subordinates send someone to visit Wei Hong's residence at night?"
Yue Buqun pondered for a while and shook his head: "No, if Yang Tinghe is really in Wei Hong's mansion, with Wei Hong's caution, our people may not be able to find anything. On the contrary, once discovered, they will alert the snake."
."
Zheng Hu glanced at Yue Buqun and said: "According to my opinion, if we just lead people to rush into Wei Hong's house to search, there will be no evidence for him. As long as Yang Tinghe can be found, my lord, you will definitely be promoted!"
There was a hint of emotion on his face, but after a while Yue Buqun shook his head and said: "This move is too much, it is very inappropriate. I sent people to secretly keep an eye on Wei Hong's mansion. I really don't believe it. A big living person."
How long can he hide?"
Zheng Hu nodded.
However, in Wei Hong's mansion, Wei Hong, who was as drunk as Yue Buqun and unconscious, was sitting respectfully across from him with a hint of drunkenness.
The man was sitting there, writing slowly, completely ignoring Wei Hong. He waited until the other person put down the brush, and then Wei Hong said cautiously: "My teacher's writing skills have become a little more refined, and the students admire him!"
This person was none other than the former chief minister Yang Tinghe who was wanted by the imperial court.
Yang Tinghe glanced at Wei Hong calmly and said, "Then the Jinyiwei Qianhu has passed by? How do you feel?"
Wei Hong bowed respectfully and said, "Returning to my mentor, the Jinyiwei Qianhu Yue Buqun was the leader of the Huashan sect before he joined the Jinyiwei again. Now he is in charge of the Jinyiwei troops around Huashan, but his actions are not small. According to the students, this person is definitely not
Comparable to ordinary people.”
Yang Tinghe smiled calmly and said: "If what I expected is true, the Jinyiwei people may have discovered my whereabouts. What's rare is that the thousands of Jinyiwei people didn't come on a rampage."
Wei Hong stroked his beard and sneered: "The student is eager for him to break into the mansion. When the time comes, the student will write to the emperor and accuse him of falsely accusing the court's loyal people."
