Chapter 84 Reporting

Zhao Mengguan, a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household, was a native of Suzhou, South Zhili. His ancestors fought with Zhu Yuanzhang and fought hard to get the hereditary official position of a hundred households. It has been passed down to Zhao Mengguan for eleven generations.

Unlike other ancestors who were just waiting to die, Zhao Mengguan was very smart and knew that taking chestnuts from the fire in this troubled world was the right way, so he sold his property and wanted to bribe others to be sent abroad. However, he knew that the money was less, and he was finally sent to Qiongzhou.

Hundreds of households should be stationed in this remote place of the mansion.

Although Qiongzhou Prefecture is the largest city on Hainan Island, with a population of 70,000 to 80,000, its scale is not only compared to international metropolises such as Guangzhou and Hangzhou, but even Leizhou across the strait is slightly inferior, so

When Zhao Mengguan arrived in Qiongzhou, he really had no mood to stay here. He thought about making money and bribing the officials every day before moving to another place.

Zhao Mengguan's situation has been very bad these days. As the leader of the intelligence organization, he didn't know about such a big thing happening in Qiongzhou City. Of course, Zhao Mengguan was not concerned about the safety of the country's people, but he couldn't get involved.

Thus obtaining the most important military merit.

After Zhao Mengguan learned the news, he quickly sent people to find the prefect Zhou Shuguang and the commander Mao Jiao, hoping that these two people could give him a share of the credit. But he didn't expect that these two people would not praise him at all. Because Zhou Shuguang was a civil servant, he was naturally gifted.

You are a sworn enemy of the factory guard, so how can I share the credit with you? As for Mao Jiao, he simply didn't like Zhao Mengguan, a hundred households.

Although Zhao Mengguan is a majestic Jin Yiwei, but where he is located, if he is in the mainland, such as Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other stable provinces, the Jin Yiwei is certainly very powerful. The commanders of thousands of households in those guards are really like mice when they see the Jin Yiwei.

Like a cat.

But this is Qiongzhou, and the guards here are not those colleagues from the mainland who only know how to farm. The guards in Qiongzhou Prefecture have to fight against the Li people. During the Li Rebellion in Danzhou twenty years ago, the guards in Qiongzhou Prefecture died in the battle.

Thousands of people, if you play hard with soldiers like this who have seen blood, you really think your life will be long.

The civil servants couldn't afford to offend him, but the military generals didn't dare to offend him. Zhao Mengguan had no choice but to get angry with his subordinates. In the past few days, he had dealt with several excuses and the anger in his heart had subsided a little.

When Zhao Mengguan heard that someone outside the door had reported the White Lotus Sect rebels, he felt ecstatic in his heart. He could finally join in legally. Zhao Mengguan quickly asked someone to bring in the person who reported the report, and he wanted to interrogate him personally.

.

When Zhao Fuxiang entered the room and saw Zhao Mengguan, he was stunned. The middle-aged man in front of him was wearing a military officer's official uniform, with a winged tiger embroidered on the front of his green robe. Zhao Fuxiang didn't know it was Biao, and thought it was a tiger.

Silly cat. Although Zhao Fuxiang doesn't know what a buzi is, he still recognizes the green official robe, which proves that the military attache in front of him is only a junior official of the sixth or seventh rank.

Zhao Fuxiang was suspicious. Didn't all imperial guards in the Ming Dynasty wear flying fish uniforms? How come they became ordinary official uniforms?

In fact, Zhao Fuxiang didn't know that the flying fish suit was not unique to the Jinyiwei. The flying fish suit was one of the four kinds of bestowed uniforms in the Ming Dynasty. The four bestowed suits were the python suit, the unicorn suit, the bullfighting suit, and the flying fish suit, because the commanders of the Jinyiwei in the past were all close associates of the emperor.

Therefore, they were all given the Feiyu Suit, which created the illusion that the Feiyu Suit was the standard uniform of Jinyiwei.

Not all the commanders of the Jinyi Guards in the Ming Dynasty wore Feiyu suits. Lu Bing, the commander during the Jiajing period, was given the highest grade of python suit. This trust was far greater than that of the father-in-laws of Dongchang.

Zhao Fuxiang didn't know what was going on, but he still bowed and saluted: "Student Zhao Fuxiang has met hundreds of adults!"

Now Zhao Fuxiang is a Gongsheng student. According to the regulations of the imperial court, he is a scholar. He does not need to kneel when he meets an official, and he does not need to call himself a commoner.

Zhao Mengguan frowned when he heard about it and asked, "Are you Zhao Fuxiang who came back from Nanyang some time ago? Are you living on Haidian Island?"

Zhao Fuxiang didn't expect that Jin Yiwei's information was so well-informed. He had only been back for more than a month, and he actually knew such detailed information. In fact, it was not that Jin Yiwei's espionage skills were so good, but that Zhao Fuxiang had been playing too happily for more than a month.

All the Jin Yiwei knew his name.

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "I didn't expect Master Baihu to know the student's name!"

Zhao Mengguan scratched his head when he heard this. He knew that the fat man in front of him was very tough in the background. He kowtowed to Zhang Juren and Zhang Wenming, so this was not easy to handle.

Zhao Mengguan originally waited for the person who reported the report to come in and arrested him. He first beat him up and then asked him about the White Lotus Sect in detail, but that was no longer possible. No matter how courageous Zhao Mengguan was, he would not dare to offend Zhang Wenming. Although Zhang Wenming

He is just an ordinary official, but behind him stands the entire Donglin Party.

Needless to say, the power of the Donglin Party, let alone a small hundred households in Zhaomengguan, even Luo Yangxing, the big leader of their Jinyiwei, would be defeated by the Donglin Party.

Since he couldn't use force, he sent a letter. Zhao Mengguan said with a smile: "It's Brother Zhao, please sit down quickly!" After saying that, he asked his subordinates to serve tea to Zhao Fuxiang.

Zhao Mengguan still didn’t know that Zhao Fuxiang had become a tribute student. After all, this was what happened in the morning. Even if the Jinyiwei information was well-informed, they could not report it to Zhao Mengguan immediately. After Zhao Mengguan heard Zhao Fuxiang’s story, Zhao Meng was concerned and jealous.

At the same time, he said congratulations: "Congratulations to Brother Zhao, you have become a supervisor. After being selected by the Ministry of Personnel, Brother Zhao can be sent to serve as an official!"

This is what Zhao Mengguan said. After studying in the Imperial College for a period of time, you can indeed become a low-level official through the selection of officials by the Ministry of Personnel. However, this was from the old yellow calendar more than a hundred years ago.

There is no actual shortage of officials. You, a self-study candidate who graduated from TV University, still want to sneak into the system? You are really dreaming!

After listening to what Zhao Mengguan said, Zhao Fuxiang laughed and said: "The student has no ideas and is completely flattered by Mr. Zhou. I am really ashamed!"

Zhao Mengguan didn't want to hear Zhao Fuxiang bragging here. He was concerned about the issue of the White Lotus Sect, so he stopped being polite and asked directly: "Brother Zhao, I just heard from your subordinates that you want to have clues about the White Lotus Sect? But is it really true?

of?"

Zhao Fuxiang nodded and said: "Yes, the government wiped out the remaining forces of the White Lotus Sect a few days ago, but they were not completely eliminated, so the students came to see Mr. Zhao today and are willing to dedicate this great contribution to Mr. Zhao!"

When Zhao Mengguan heard this, he was interested and said with a smile: "In that case, thank you Brother Zhao. I wonder who Brother Zhao reported?"

Zhao Mengguan made up his mind that as long as Zhao Fuxiang revealed his name, he would immediately send his men to arrest the guy, and then beat him up and report it to the Zhenfusi Yamen in Nanjing. By then, he would have military merit and spend some money to build relationships. He would definitely be able to do it.

Move to a prosperous place and leave this ungrateful place.

Zhao Fuxiang smiled mysteriously and said: "The White Lotus Sect's stronghold is Cuiyun Tower in Nancheng, and its leader is the owner of Cuiyun Tower, Mother Wu!"

Zhao Mengguan was stunned after hearing this. A few days ago, he was about to annex Mother Wu's Cuiyun Building. Today, Zhao Fuxiang came to report that Mother Wu was the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Is there something fishy in this?

"Brother Zhao, do you have any real evidence?"

Of course Zhao Fuxiang had no evidence. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's all hearsay!"

Zhao Mengguan was so angry that Zhao Fuxiang vomited a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't been afraid of the backer behind Zhao Fuxiang, he would have caught this guy and let him experience Jin Yiwei's methods.

Zhao Mengguan was already a little angry at this time, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao, do you want to play tricks on me?"

Zhao Fuxiang quickly waved his hand and said: "Of course I don't dare! It's just that the students heard that Mr. Zhao is interested in Cuiyun Tower's industry, and the students are here to help Mr. Zhao get Cuiyun Tower into his hands reasonably and legally!"

Zhao Mengguan already knew that Zhao Fuxiang was here to intercede, but he didn't know what method Zhao Fuxiang wanted to use to intercede for Wu's mother. It was just to use his identity as Zhang Juren to persuade him!

Although Zhao Mengguan did not want to provoke intellectuals like Zhang Juren, it did not mean that he was afraid of Zhang Juren. After all, Zhao Mengguan held the power in his hands. If he really wanted to break up with Zhang Juren, it would still be enough for Zhang Juren to drink. However, Zhang Juren

He couldn't bear the retaliation afterwards.

Zhao Mengguan sneered and said: "Zhao Fuxiang, it turns out that you are here to make peace for Cuiyun Tower. Do you think I, the Jin Yiwei, are easy to bully?"

Zhao Fuxiang saw that Zhao Mengguan was angry and quickly explained: "Master Zhao, please don't think so, students dare to offend Master Zhao! The students are indeed here to report Cuiyun Tower, but the students have a condition, Cuiyun Tower and Mother Wu's

All the property belongs to Mr. Zhao, and there is only one person among the students, and that is Mother Wu herself!"

Zhao Mengguan didn't turn around for a while. He thought for a while and asked: "You said Cuiyun Tower was given to me, but you only wanted Mother Wu?"

Zhao Fuxiang nodded and said: "Yes, all the property accumulated by Mother Wu in the past few years will belong to Master Zhao. The students only need Mother Wu!"

Zhao Mengguan didn't understand at this time. Cuiyun Tower was worth at least two thousand taels of silver. Adding in other properties, it was more than three thousand taels. Why did this guy want a middle-aged woman like Mother Wu instead of not having it at all?

?

According to Zhao Mengguan's information, the fat man in front of him is not short of money. He has spent thousands of taels of silver on purchases in Qiongzhou Prefecture in the past half month. You must know that the best Yangzhou thin horse only costs a hundred taels of silver at most. According to this.

With Zhao Fuxiang's financial resources, what kind of woman would fall in love with Wu's mother if she didn't have it?

Zhao Mengguan was puzzled and asked: "Brother Zhao, why did you fall in love with Mother Wu because she was from a lowly family and ugly?"

Although Mother Wu is not ugly, her height of 1.7 meters was an anomaly in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to long legs and a nine-headed body. It was the appearance of a woman to be taller than a man. Therefore, Mother Wu's height could not be found in the Ming Dynasty.

From my husband’s family.

Zhao Fuxiang secretly laughed in his heart, how could he tell Zhao Mengguan that he was from a later generation? According to the standards of later generations, Mother Wu was a real beauty. The most important thing was that she looked like Qin Lan. She was twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, which is the age when she knows how cold it is and how hot she is.

Much better than those little girls aged 14 or 15.

"Hey, they are all trapped by love! Mother Wu really missed a concubine of the student, but the concubine died of illness a few years ago, so she couldn't help herself after seeing Mother Wu in Cuiyun Building! But Mother Wu was not hypocritical to the student

, the students had no choice but to use despicable means!”

Zhao Mengguan listened to Zhao Fuxiang and cursed in his heart that this guy is really nothing. In order to get someone, he slandered him as a White Lotus sect. You must know that the Ming Dynasty suppressed the White Lotus sect very much. As long as he had a relationship with the White Lotus sect, he would basically be beheaded and exiled.
