Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 63 Jinyi
In the Appreciation Hall in the southeast corner of Zhangjiakou Fort, Li Deli, commander of Wanquan Right Guard, was sipping tea leisurely and listening to the report of Qian Renyuan, the tax official.

Although Li Deli is the commander of Wanquan Right Guard, his home is in Zhangjiakou Fort. A mansion with five entrances and three frames is located not far behind the official hall. Adjacent to him is the house of Zhang Yong, Commander of Wanquan Left Guard. Since the two are hereditary for several generations, they have a close relationship and frequent daily exchanges. Regardless of official news or other news, they can exchange information. Zhangjiakou Fort tax transactions and other matters are managed by the two in turn.

Qian Renyuan held the account book of this month's tax payment and summarized to Li Deli: "At the end of April in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the merchants in the castle paid a total of 460 taels of tax, of which 850 taels of true color and 610 taels of folded color. The tax and silver have all been put into the warehouse. , Sir, please check it!"

Li Deli put down his teacup, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Check the fart, what do you mean I don't believe it? You have been working in the tax office of your mother for more than ten years, and you are probably worth ten times the monthly tax." ?Okay, just put it in the warehouse, and send someone to the governor's yamen of Xuanfu at the beginning of the month!"

Qian Renyuan smiled and said: "Look at what you said, my lord, the younger ones just follow along with a sip of soup. This soup was given to us by your consideration for your subordinates. It is also for you when you talk about it with your colleagues on weekdays." Thank you so much Master Zhang!"

Li Deli waved his hands and said with a smile: "Forget it, I am just doing my duty for the imperial court. I have guarded the border for the imperial court for generations. How many generations have I been in this poor place? It is only because of my loyalty that I can keep it. It's not easy, I always feel that only when I do well at home can I serve the court better, as long as you don't delay major events, everything else is trivial, just don't overdo it!"

Qian Renyuan cursed inwardly: "You are a commander of the guard station, you can only eat in the ground elsewhere, but here you have more money than the magistrate in a rich place, and you are more loyal. Your mother's loyalty is money. Bar!"

On the lips, he flattered: "No one knows the loyalty of the adults, that is, under the rule of the adults, the small place of Zhangjiakoubao will be so prosperous. The young people admire it very much!"

Li Deli got up and prepared to go to Zhang Yong's house. The two of them made an appointment to hold a naked meeting today. Zhang Meng bought a few beautiful women from Xuanfu's brothel. , feeling like a cat scratching in his heart, he said as he walked: "I still have business to deal with, you wait to do your job well, don't be lazy, I will send someone to let you know if there is something to do, that's it!"

At this time, a group of people suddenly poured in from outside the gate of the Fushang Hall. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a green embroidered suit, a luan belt around his waist, and an embroidered spring knife. Clothes, the school captain with a knife hanging from his waist.

Li Deli was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Who are you, dare to break into the government, and still not back down!"

Qian Renyuan took a few steps forward, pointed at the man and shouted: "Whose subordinate are you waiting for? What's the matter with eating the gall of a leopard? Get out quickly! This is not a military camp! Be careful where I go to General Zhang Shen to sue you. You can't wait until you can't eat!"

The man smiled and said, "Slap your mouth!"

Several school captains rushed forward, before Qian Renyuan could react, they walked around behind him, twisted his arms, and kicked him at the crook of his knees with his feet, Qian Renyuan's knees softened, and he fell to his knees. On the ground, the captain in front swung his round palm and began to slap his mouth. After more than a dozen slaps, Qian Renyuan's mouth and nose were bleeding, his eyes were full of stars, his ears were buzzing, his cheeks were instantly swollen, and he was dizzy. My head is dizzy and I can't speak.

Li Deli was shocked and furious. For so many years, someone dared to humiliate his subordinates face to face. He shouted loudly: "Come on! Someone is rebelling!"

The man smiled and took out a driving card from his sleeve, shook it in front of him, and said, "Stop shouting, those trash at the door have already been tied up! Li Deli, right? See? Post, there is an official seal, do you know who we are?"

Li Deli's face suddenly turned pale, and the man's accent and demeanor reminded him of a frightening place in the legend!

He suddenly sweated profusely all over his body, his body became limp, and his whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

The man continued to smile and said: "A certain is Zuo Jinzhong, Qianhu of the Qianhu Office of Jinyiwei Xicheng, who came to the Xuanfu to do business under the order of the sage. Commander Li, your case has been uncovered!"

In the back garden of Zhang Yong’s home, the commander of Wanquan Zuowei, there is a cool and pleasant flower hall with doors and windows open on all sides. Zhang Yong sits on a soft couch with bare feet and belly, and fine wine is placed on the low table in front of him. Two beautiful women sat next to him, and a woman held a wine glass to his lips. Zhang Yong reached out to take the wine glass and drank it all. The woman was very shy and hummed softly: What a drinker!"

Zhang Yong smirked unceasingly: "My lord can't drink with an average person, you two have to let go of your drinking!"

Another woman took the wine glass and put it down, then picked up a chopsticks dish and brought it to his mouth, she said with a coquettish smile: "Master, eat more dishes, the slave family likes to watch the master eat the most, and the slave family thinks that it can be eaten." real man!"

Zhang Yong laughed and said: "You two are good, Lao Li will come later, let's drink and have fun together, we must have a good time, hahaha!"

Seeing that it was past noon and Li Deli hadn't arrived yet, Zhang Yong was so playful that he didn't care what time his good brother came, so he started drinking and playing games with the two women.

"Papa papa", a burst of applause suddenly sounded, Zhang Yongxing's head was suddenly interrupted, and he was suddenly furious.He stood up abruptly and looked towards the source of the voice.I saw a man in his twenties, wearing a brown hat, a green overcoat, and a knife hanging around his waist, standing at the front door of the flower hall with a smile on his face. Behind him were two envious school captains.

Zhang Yong was startled, he had never seen this outfit before, and he didn't know that it was the color of that yamen's clothes. The two beauties screamed and shrank behind Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was also a person who went to battle earlier, he picked up the short-nosed pants and quickly put them on, then bowed his hands at the young man and said, "I don't know where the distinguished guest came from? Why did you trespass on my house?"

The young man stepped forward slowly, stopped a few steps in front of Zhang Yong, and asked, "Master Zhang Yong, commander of Wanquan Left Guard?"

Hearing Zhang Yong's polite words, his nervous mood suddenly calmed down. He snorted and said, "It's Zhang, who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "It's Wang Shiqin from the Thousand Households Office of Jinyiwei West City. He was ordered to arrest you and enter the capital. I didn't expect to delay your good deed today. Mr. Zhang, go to the front yard to find some clothes to put on. Let's go!"

Zhang Yong's complexion suddenly turned sallow, his mouth was dry, his mind went blank, and it took him a while to recover. His eyes flicked around, and his thoughts turned quickly, looking for a way out.

Seeing this, Wang Shiqin sneered: "Master Zhang, please don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine. I heard that you have been in battle. Do you want to fight with us?"

The two school lieutenants drew their sabers out of their sheaths with a clang, and took a few steps forward, pointing the two slender Xiuchun sabers at Zhang Yong.

Hearing that Zhang Yong was like a deflated ball, it was true that he had been in battle, but it was just that he led five hundred cavalry and met dozens of armed herdsmen. Given the absolute advantage, he did not dare to go up and fight. It's all his.

Wang Shiqin yelled lightly: "Tied!"

Two school lieutenants walked in front of Zhang Yong, one guarded him with a knife, the other sheathed the knife, took out a cowhide rope from his arms, folded his shoulders and arms, and tied Zhang Yong tightly in a short while. Zhang Yong had the slightest thought of resisting. Nothing, let the captain handle it like a piece of wood, Wang Shiqin saw Zhang Yong tied his hands, glanced at the two women who were frightened like quails, and said softly: "Both of you pack your clothes and go to the front yard to obey the punishment." .”

The two women were so frightened that they began to cry. Wang Shiqin frowned and said, "As long as the matter with Zhang Yong is not deeply involved, the government will deal with it lightly. Why are you crying?"

Zhang Yong, who was already heartbroken, suddenly said: "The matter of X has nothing to do with them. A few days ago, X and X bought them for 2000 taels of silver, and they don't know anything!"

Wang Shiqin glanced at Zhang Yong approvingly, and sighed: "He is a responsible man, what a pity!"

　Let me explain here that the bright yellow flying fish uniforms of Jin Yiwei are only qualified to be worn by the court officials. Hu and the general school lieutenant are all dressed in ordinary clothes. The school lieutenant is basically a hooded uniform, mainly in bright colors and not black. That’s why there are legends about the bright clothes and angry horses and the accent of the capital; this Wang Shiqin is Wang Chengen mentioned in Chapter 1. My nephew is a character I made up. If you are interested, you can provide ideas for the characters you want to play. We will discuss how to make these characters fuller.
