Chapter 93 Corruption
"stop!"
Seeing that Zhang Mu was leaving, the small flag officer suddenly spoke.
The little flag official is named Zhang Xiaogou, and he has long been eyeing Zhang Mu. After all, Zhang Mu is wearing rich clothes and dresses. The people who follow Zhang Mu also talk very well.
When he came here for the first time today, he saw Zhang Mu. He was anxious to send an order, but ignored him. As a result, when he came back, he saw Zhang Mu still here, he couldn't help but see a fat sheep. How could Zhang Mu leave in vain?
Zhang Mu was already full of anger. When he turned around and saw the small flag official uniform was wearing a crooked military uniform and looked very angry, he felt even more unhappy, so he said, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, he's pretty arrogant." Zhang Xiaogou winked at his brothers. The more than ten officers and soldiers he brought with him instantly surrounded Zhang Mu and others, with their faces full of provocation.
The people who followed Zhang Mu subconsciously touched the hilt of the weapon. Zhang Mu is now in power. If something goes wrong, none of them should want to live.
The people around were hiding far away.
"Where are you? What are you doing here? It's not a detailed work sent by the Japanese pirates, right? Take out Luyan for me!" Wang Xiaogou asked with a sneer.
When Zhang Mu heard his words, he obviously wanted to blackmail Zhang Mu.
A foreign pirate is enough to punish him.
However, Zhang Mu didn't like this and sneered: "Uncle's Lu Yin is also the one with your dog eyes?"
"Ah, drink! You're fucking tired of living." When he spoke, the little flag official was about to draw his sword.
Stern eyes and quick hands. Before his sword left his body, he stepped forward and pressed it on the hilt of his knife. There was a dagger on his other hand, which was pressed against the belly of the small flag official.
Wang Xiaogou was shocked, and his brothers were also stunned. How could he think of such a change?
"Are you going to rebel?" Wang Xiaogou drank immediately.
Zhang Mu walked to Wang Xiaogou with his hands on his back, looked him up and down, slowly took out a Lu Yin from his arms, and placed it in front of Wang Xiaogou.
Wang Xiaogou was still literate. When he saw the four big words "Duke Cao's Mansion" written on the road, Wang Xiaogou became honest.
Duke Cao was Li Wenzhong, who was a founder of the Ming Dynasty. Although he had already returned to heaven at this moment, his title was hereditary. Zhang Mu didn't know how Han Fangshan got this way, but it was enough to calm the little bastard.
"Who did you think of me just now?" Zhang Mu sneered.
The little flag official's face suddenly looked like dirt, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, slapped his left hand and slapped his right hand, making his face turn red after a few strokes.
"Don't get out!" Zhang Mu kicked him to the ground with one kick. The little flag official turned around and took his people with him, and disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Mu looked at the horse with a gloomy face and headed towards Wenzhou Prefecture.
The Ming Dynasty was only more than 20 years old, and the corruption of these border troops exceeded his imagination.
A small flag official dares to blatantly blackmail money from passers-by in the blue sky and in the morning, which shows how they are doing their best here on weekdays.
No wonder those ordinary people saw them, although they dared not speak out, they could see their disgust towards them.
Zhu Yuanzhang had exhausted his efforts to punish corruption. There were supervisors and Jinyiwei secretly making stubborn posts and supervising them layer by layer, which was also sensational in the punishment of corrupt officials.
However, the Japanese pirates are rampant here, and you can see from the side that the officers and soldiers of the garrison have been corrupt for more than one day or two days.
Now I can see it with my own eyes. It seems that the garrison here may be ruined. If the soldiers are greedy for money and are afraid of death, it will not be a strange thing if the Japanese pirates are so rampant.
It is really because of the emperor's destiny, which is not convenient for the identity to be exposed. Otherwise, today, the group of soldiers must deal with them well.
"Let them jump around for another two days, and I will deal with you one by one." Thinking of this, Zhang Mu whipped the horse whip hard and rushed forward quickly.
In the evening, Zhang Mu and others entered Wenzhou Prefecture.
The scale of Wenzhou is far from comparable to that of later generations. In addition, it was already dark when entering the city, so Zhang Mu was not in the mood to stroll around and settled in the inn.
Han Fangshan hurriedly ordered people to send food, but Zhang Mu had no appetite. He grew up under the red flag in his previous life and was in a peaceful and prosperous era. Although he had watched movies and TV, he was far from comparable to witnessing this tragic situation with his own eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very talented and had a long-lasting look. He made a special trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time, probably because he knew that the Japanese pirates fought every year, but it was a bit abnormal every year.
However, Mao Xiang's case was a little beyond his expectations, so he hurried back and hit Zhang Mu's shoulder with this heavy burden.
Strictness has no appetite. After all, young people are full of energy and full of anger. They want to pick up their swords and fight against the Japanese pirates. People who learn martial arts still have the bloodiness of this.
Han Fangshan was a little older and whispered: "Sir, eat a little bit, your health is important."
"Let's talk about it later, what is the situation of Tao Xingchang and the Wen family?" Zhang Mu asked.
"I asked the Jinyiwei here to inquire carefully, and I'll ask him to tell you personally." At this time, when Tao Xingchang opened the door, it turned out to be Wang Houzi who came in.
Wang Houzi is the Jinyiwei stationed in Wenzhou. After seeing Zhang Mu, he said, "Sir, the Wen family you are looking for is currently three major houses in the local area, and there are seven or eight people in the next branch. The person in charge is Wen Yuandao, their patriarch. He is 64 years old this year. He has been here for many years and has never heard of anything wrong with him. He usually builds bridges and roads, donates funds to support orphans, and has the reputation of being a good man from Wen. This is their genealogy, please check it out."
After Zhang Mu opened it, he carefully looked at it. All the people in the three rooms of the Wen family were inside. Everyone had their personalities, hobbies, and children and concubines at home. It was very detailed.
At this time, Zhang Mu's eyes fell into Zhang Mu's eyes.
It says that this person is the third generation of the Wen family's parents' room, who is nineteen years old, but he is born in the Wen family.
It records that he is lustful and gambling in his daily life and has the title of "Donkey King" in Wenzhou City.
Zhang Mu looked up and asked, "Is this person's information true?"
"Sir, I know him. Although this person is not a little bit of a clue, he likes to be polite and does things without consequences, so he has this nickname. Why should he start from him?" Wang Houzi asked.
"He is a illegitimate family like the Wen family, and he must not have a good life. If I want to rely on this person, we have to do a game. Isn't he lustful and gamble? Such people are also prone to bait. He likes to bet there the most?" Zhang Mu asked.
"There is a famous underground treasure bureau in Wenzhou Prefecture called Doujinfang. He often goes there to play, and sometimes spends a lot of money." Wang Houzi said.
"Are you sure you set up a plan there?" Zhang Mu asked.
