Chapter 88 Mu Tiantao, who is crazy on the outside and calm on the inside

Dealing with the heroes of Lantian, tears are much more useful than threats.

Mu Tiantao, who was riding a horse and carrying a large bag of grenades and phosphorus fire to return to the city, thought.

He believed that Lantian would definitely give him what he needed.

If nothing else, if he can consume some of Li Hongji's million-strong army in the capital, it will be beneficial to Lantian and harmless.

The good men at the bottom of Lantian have no resistance to any heroic, generous warrior behavior.

For them, you can use this way to impress, if you put this method in those calm and stone-like Lantian high-level leaders, even if they talk about the Ming Dynasty, if there is no intersection with Lantian's interests, they will be treated as cold as ice.

"There are bastards in the academy!"

Mu Tiantao looked up to the sky and cursed, and quickly whipped his horse and ran towards the city gate.

There were two horses running too, and some of them were ill-intentioned.

Mu Tiantao looked at the city gate not far away and the people entering and leaving the city, he sighed slightly, and sped up his horse's speed.

Since no one else cares about killing him, the prince of Qianguo, in broad daylight, then there is no need for him, the prince of Qianguo, to scruple about killing people on the street.

When the previous horse approached, Mu Tiantao jumped out, and without waiting for the knight next to him to wave his knife, he went into someone's arms, not only that, at the moment of contact, the iron thorn in his hand stabbed seven or eight times in the chest and abdomen.

After the knight fell down from his horse and dragged his feet on the ground on the stirrup for a while, the other knight who was separated by Mu Tiantao's war horse turned his horse's head and rushed towards Mu Tiantao with an embroidered spring knife.

Mu Tiantao, who was already standing on the ground, grabbed the halter of the war horse with one hand, lowered his head to avoid the embroidered spring knife, and with one hand, he twisted the neck of the war horse, and his body took the opportunity to press down to one side, with a bang, the war horse rolled to the ground, and the heavy body pressed on the knight's body, Mu Tiantao heard a dense sound of broken bones.

The one who holds the embroidered spring knife is the brocade guard.

These murderers who used to make people talk about tigers can now only rely on selling coolies to make a living.

Glancing at the Jinyi Guard killer who was spurting blood out of his mouth, Mu Tiantao ignored them, just retrieved his war horse, and led the intact and injured war horse straight into the city gate.

It stands to reason that there was a murder at the city gate, and the defenders of the city gate should have interrogated it anyway.

They didn't seem to see it, so they let Mu Tiantao lead the three horses into the capital with a swagger.

Mu Tiantao, who returned to Mu Wang's Mansion, became unattainable again.

Today, however, is different from the past, and there is a guest sitting in the living room of his house.

After Mu Tiantao saw this person, he arched his hand and said: "The junior Mu Tiantao has seen the Duke of Baoguo. ”

Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi frowned and said: "What is the reason for killing Jiadingbo's housekeeper without authorization and not coming to the door to accuse?" ”

Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "The younger generation has a dream, so I will go to Jiadingbo's Mansion to ask for guilt." ”

Zhu Guobi nodded and said: "The son can be taught, but there is something wrong with Jiadingbo, can the virtuous nephew reconcile with Jiadingbo for the sake of the old man, as if this incident never happened?" ”

Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "Since Baoguo Gong has spoken, where is the little nephew unreasonable, as long as Jiading Bo returns the 300,000 taels of silver he took, the little nephew naturally does not dare to be disrespectful to Jiading Bo." ”

"What 300,000 taels?"

"When my brother heard that His Majesty was collecting donations in the capital, he remembered the 300,000 taels of silver hidden in the treasury of Fuzhong in the early years, and he took this opportunity to present it to His Majesty to reward the soldiers and make up for the lack of money in the army.

Who knows but was taken away by Jiadingbo, and asked Baoguo Gong to tell Jiadingbo that if it was the past, this batch of silver would be gone, but now it is different, this batch of silver is to be handed over to His Majesty's military.

No one is missing.

For three days, if I don't see this batch of silver within three days, I will lead people into Jiadingbo's mansion and search for this batch of silver. ”

"You dare!"

Zhu Guobi took the case and shouted loudly.

Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "The younger generation heard that when Jiading Bo occupied my Mu Wangfu, Baoguo Gong also participated in it, so I can't say it, I want to ask my uncle to compensate me for Mu Wangfu." ”

When Zhu Guobi heard this, he said gloomily: "How much are you going to make your old uncle compensate." ”

Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "No more, no less, it's exactly 300,000 taels!" ”

"Why are you?"

Mu Tiantao stretched out his hands and said, "Since they are all martial arts families, they naturally rely on a pair of fists. ”

Zhu Guobi walked away with his sleeves, and when he walked to the door, he laughed and said, "I want to see how big your fist is." ”

Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "Uncle is ready to leave?" ”

Zhu Guobi smiled: "Do you still want to keep me?" ”

Mu Tiantao smiled: "That's what I mean!" ”

Before Zhu Guobi was about to speak, he saw Mu Tiantao holding a long knife and forcing him step by step, Zhu Guobi, who had never touched a knife or gun for many generations, shouted repeatedly: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, four corpses were thrown in at the gate of the inner house, and Zhu Guobi fixed his eyes to see that it was the four companions he brought.

Zhu Guobi was in a hurry, and saw Mu Tiantao holding a long knife and forcing him murderously, and hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, this matter is really committed regardless of your old uncle's affairs, it is all done by Jiading Bo alone."

I'm just here to be a lobbyist. ”

Mu Tiantao slashed at Zhu Guobi's back with a knife, and the back of the knife collided with the backbone, making Zhu Guobi feel terrible pain, and he fell to the ground with a pop, constantly inhaling the cool air, just wanting this terrible pain to leave as soon as possible.

Mu Tiantao squatted down and looked at Zhu Guobi and said: "When the national disaster is at the head, you don't pull out a hair, is it a posture of resting with the country?" Your clan has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, why is it so difficult to pay for it?

Let me tell you, you are about to hang on the gate of Muwang's mansion, if you don't give money for a moment, I won't put it down for a moment, if you die, it doesn't matter, I'll go to your house to raid the house, I heard that you have a lot of wives and concubines, all of them are famous beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, sell them, Lao Tzu can also sell 300,000 taels of silver! ”

Zhu Guobi said in a trembling voice: "You are going to be the enemy of all the nobles." ”

Mu Tiantao laughed, and then the laughter became even more poignant, he put the long knife against Zhu Guobi's eyebrows and said: "Daming is in danger, do you think I still care about what you pigs and dogs are not as good as?"

His Majesty eats and eats all day long, can't sleep at night, dignified emperor, the sleeves of the dragon robe are torn, and he is reluctant to add them, and he also takes out the palace for many years to accumulate, and even the old ginseng left over from Wanli years is reluctant to use it himself, and all of it is taken out and sold.

I'll ask you!

Did you ever feel half heartache when you saw this scene?

Hahaha, of course you didn't have heartache, but instead instructed the servants of the door to rush to buy His Majesty's treasures...... Zhu Guobi, I don't plan to have Mu Tiantao's life, so I am ready to stay in the capital and live and die with the Ming Dynasty.

I'm not afraid to die, you think I'll care about anything else.

If you want to fight back, after I defeat Li Hongji, as long as I am alive, you will come to me again to reason.

Come on, hang me up!

When the money was not available today, I poured cold water on him at night. ”

Seeing that Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, was hung up by the house slaves of Mu Wangfu, and came to pass on the emperor's will, the eunuch Xu Gao, who ordered Mu Tiantao not to do anything wrong, touched the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, looked down at the holy decree in his hand, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

Seeing Xu Gao leaving, Mu Tiantao's steward Xue Zijian came to Mu Tiantao's side and said, "Shizi, Xu Gao is gone." ”

Mu Tiantao pulled Zhu Guobi, who was hanged up, and said: "Cool officials have always taken the shortcut to the south, such as coming to Junchen, such as Zhou Xing, such as the cool officials of the Western Han Dynasty, all of them.

This shortcut to the end of the South will allow me to quickly take power. ”

Xue Zijian said: "Everyone will oppose the son." ”

Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "It's enough for the emperor to support me, maybe now, the emperor won't trust me completely, as I get more money for him, the more I am rejected by all the nobles and officials, the higher the possibility of me gaining power."

Don't worry, before coming to Jingshi, every step I made was carefully calculated and measured, and the probability of success exceeded seventy percent. ”

Xue Zijian said with admiration: "I don't know if those masters are planning for the prince, the old man admires it very much, if the prince can invite these masters to Jingshi, wouldn't it be more certain?" ”

Mu Tiantao sighed and said, "We can't afford to invite it, and people don't want to come...... If these people all come to Beijing and are willing to serve the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will soon restore the Haiyan River ......"

Xu Gao returned to the palace, knelt tremblingly in front of the emperor's table, holding high the holy decree without saying a word.

Chongzhen raised his head from behind the tall paperwork, glanced at Xu Gao and said, "Why, Mu Wangfu doesn't accept my will?" ”

Xu Gao kowtowed again and again: "It's the old slave who is unwilling to announce the decree." ”

For Xu Gao, Chongzhen still had some confidence, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Say." ”

Xu Gao walked two steps and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the prince of Mu Wangfu has a dispute with the prince is not for personal grudges, but to raise military salaries for His Majesty!" ”

"What?" Chongzhen Huo Ran got up, came to Xu Gao and helped the confidant eunuch up, and said, "Be careful." ”

Xu Gao told the emperor about the scene he saw in King Mu's mansion in tears.

"Your Majesty, the prince of the country is not without money, he is unwilling to take it out, the prince of Baoguo is not without money, and he is not willing to take it out, Your Majesty, the old slave begs you, just don't see this.

Let's see if the prince of Mu Wangfu can raise enough military salaries for His Majesty, and then talk about it. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then laughed miserably: "Okay, good, what I can't do, let's see if this reckless boy can do it." ”

Xu Gao continued: "The prince of Mu Wangfu said that he came to Beijing this time to be a filial son and grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and if he can defeat, he will strive to win, and if he can't defeat, he will die for the country."

Your Majesty, this is the result of my three hundred years of cultivation.

I beg Your Majesty to entrust this son with a heavy responsibility, and he will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty. ”

Chongzhen walked around the hall twice and said: "Let's see, let's see......"

Chapter 3 is delivered.
