Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 44
Hu Jiu left contentedly, but Xiang Biao was no longer sleepy.

Xiang Biao's one hundred households are hereditary, but the hereditary one hundred households does not mean that he has no worries about food and clothing. The hereditary one hundred households earned by his ancestors through military exploits, by the time of his father's generation, was already destitute.

In order to make a living, Xiang Biao, who has been brave and aggressive since he was a child, started his robbery career with a group of well-known people.

But Xiang Biao is different from other people after all. After his father passed away, he had had enough of licking blood, so he resolutely chose to go home to take over his father's post and became an inconspicuous household in Tielingwei.

Xiang Biao is a man of righteousness, and never withholds the food and pay of the soldiers below. The meager salary is not enough to do anything, so he can only live with some silver he has accumulated before, so he has always lived on the poverty line.

Hu Jiucheng also came to the door precisely because of this point. In his mind, if he is a dog, he can't change his diet. Back then, Xiang Biao was able to kill people for money, and now he can also sell Ye Xun for money.

It's a pity that Hu Jiucheng still underestimated the weight of Ye Xun in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Tieling. As the sky was getting brighter, Xiang Biao had already made up his mind to explain this matter to Ye Xun.

After simply washing his face, he dressed neatly and went out of the house. As soon as he opened the courtyard door, Xiang Biao couldn't help being stunned, because at some point there was a person standing outside the door, and this person was none other than Ye he was going to see. Xun.

"Ye, Eunuch Ye, why are you here?"

Xiang Biao didn't know that Liang Zhen sent someone to catch Hu Jiucheng with a fishing net just after he came out of him last night.

Hu Jiucheng is also a ruthless character, after a lot of torture, he didn't confide a word.

Ye Xun respected him as a man and told Liang Zhen not to make things difficult for him, but Ye Xun himself went to find Xiang Biao's home.

The first time he saw Ye Xun, Xiang Biao knew that something had happened to Hu Jiucheng, otherwise he would not have come to look for him in person as Ye Xun, so after a moment of panic, he calmed down.

Bowing and saluting, "Elder-in-law came to look for his subordinates because of Hu Laojiu, right?"

Ye Xun smiled. He likes to deal with smart people. He smiled and said, "Is his name Hu Laojiu? His mouth is very hard. If you don't tell me, I really don't know. May I come in and sit down?"

Old Xiang Biao blushed, turned sideways quickly, and said, "Don't blame the father-in-law, there is no wife in the house, it's too messy."

Ye Xun's attitude reassured Xiang Biao, knowing that if Ye Xun wanted to arrest him, he didn't have to do it himself, let alone be so polite to himself.

Ye Xun walked into Xiang Biao's yard with his hands behind his back. The weather was still cold and there was nothing to see in the yard. After entering Xiang Biao's house, Ye Xun couldn't help but sighed secretly. Daming actually had such poor officers.

The dilapidated rammed earth walls, the lack of any decent furniture in the room, and the few broken magnetic bowls on the stove all showed that the owner was really poor.

Ye Xun didn't dislike it either, he sat on the edge of the Kang and said calmly, "Tell me! What's going on?"

Xiang Biao didn't hide anything, so he explained all the reasons why Hu Jiucheng came to him, and then looked at Ye Xun calmly, and said: "This subordinate has done everything before. If you want to kill or shave, let your father-in-law deal with it."

This guy was actually a horse bandit in the past, he really can't be judged by his appearance.

Ye Xun looked at Xiang Biao with great interest for a moment, then suddenly said: "I still need someone to do things by my side, I wonder if you are interested in helping me?"

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Xiang Biao couldn't help being stunned, he stammered: "Elder-in-law, this subordinate is, but a guilty person, you."

Ye Xun interrupted Xiang Biao's words with a wave of his hand, and said calmly: "I never look back on the past, I treat you with sincerity, if you have any half-heartedness, will I not want your life?"

Xiang Biao couldn't help trembling in his heart, he had seen Ye Xun's martial arts with his own eyes, and now the path before him was already clear, either seek refuge or die.

Can live who wants to die?Besides, he was still working hard for someone he admired.

At that moment, Xiang Biao didn't hesitate anymore, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said: "This subordinate is willing to serve my father-in-law to the death."

Of course, Ye Xun's visit to the capital this time was not just as simple as meeting the emperor. He also wanted to build an intelligence network from the capital to Liaodong, and the best way to disguise the intelligence network was of course doing business.

Northern delicacies, furs, medicinal materials and other items are more popular in the capital.

Xiang Biao has been a horse bandit, so he is definitely better than Ye Xun in this area, so Ye Xun will take him with him on this trip. As for whether this person will be loyal to Ye Xun wholeheartedly, it depends on Ye Xun's means up.

Wang Dengku didn't sleep well that night. Since Han Ping was sent away last night, his eyelids kept twitching. For some reason, he always felt like he was about to suffocate.

After finally surviving until dawn, Wang Dengku's sleepiness also came up. Just after he was confused for a while, his subordinates came to report, and Eunuch Ye sent someone to send an invitation card, inviting him to the banquet at night.

Hearing this news, Wang Dengku's drowsiness disappeared immediately. Yesterday Han Ping told him that Ye Xun had not set a time to see him, but today he suddenly said that he met. Was it Han Ping's role or some other reason?
Wang Dengku was suspicious by nature, but he didn't feel that he was showing his flaws. After all, the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Dynasty all came from later generations. In this era, few people even knew that he had turned to Jurchen as a traitor.

I was going to see Ye Xun, but there was still no movement from Hu Jiucheng's side. Just about to send someone to look for him, I suddenly remembered that he told Hu Jiucheng not to show up for a few days last night, so I ordered my staff to sort out the presents again.

It should be said that Wang Dengku is also a person who has seen the big world, and he can talk eloquently in front of Nurhachi, but for some reason, there is an inexplicable tension at this moment.

Unbeknownst to Wang Dengku, Hu Jiucheng, his most capable subordinate, has now become Ye Xun's guest.

He was beaten to death last night. Not only did he bandage his wounds, but he even hired a few maids to serve him. The treatment was simply worlds apart.

Hu Jiucheng hadn't seen any battle before, and when he thought about it, the Ming army saw that it was not going to be tough, so they planned to be soft.

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, is this the only thing surnamed Ye is capable of?I am loyal to my boss, how could I be moved by your small favor?
Hu Jiucheng was ready to accept the threats and lures from Ye Xun or his subordinates for a while, but it was a pity that no one paid any attention to him until the evening, and the maids who waited on him around him were as clueless as they asked.

Hu Jiucheng can think about it, no matter what methods surnamed Ye uses, he won't recruit anyway.

A day passed quickly. After Hu Jiucheng changed the medicine on his body, he was woken up just after sleeping for a while. When he looked up, it was Ye Xun standing in front of him.

Hu Jiucheng studied Ye Xun every day, and came to Tieling one step ahead of time, how could he not know Ye Xun?
After being stunned for a moment, Ye Xun spoke first.

"Can you move? Our family will send you out"

"What did you say! Send me out?"

Hu Jiucheng thought he heard it wrong, so he asked subconsciously.

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, our family has invited Wang Dengku to come to the banquet at night. Since you are Wang Dengku's subordinate, of course our family can't make things too difficult for you. Get up! Let's go out now."

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Hu Jiucheng was startled, and blurted out: "You mean the proprietor is coming soon?"

"Hehe! You're not too stupid. When we go out later, Wang Dengku will happen to see the scene where you and I talk hand in hand. I think he will be very happy to see this scene."
