In the Chengde Palace. Xu Jin saw that the reception was almost done, so he arched his hand and said: "If General Xu and Gonggong Zhang have nothing else to do, the official will leave first." ”

"Ouch, Xu Xian Ling is leaving so soon, don't talk for a while?" Zhang Zhong and Xu Jin just "had a good conversation", but he was still unsatisfied, so he said to stay.

As the saying goes: the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also. Cherishing the body is the most basic embodiment of filial piety, and the eunuch cut the bird under his crotch, which is naturally a great unfilial piety, so the scholar has always despised the eunuch with a crippled body.

Zhang Zhong as a member of the eunuchs, naturally felt a lot about this, when he was still unknown, he was used to the eyes and contempt of scholars, when he finally came out of the head, became the eunuch of the imperial horse, the power in his hands, although those ministers in the court also flattered him, but only a very few, most of them either respected him, or continued to despise him, so the scholars who really "made friends" with him can be said to be no.

And this Xu Sanyuan in front of him made Eunuch Zhang "familiar at first sight", with his sensitive "glass heart" as a eunuch, he could feel that Xu Jin did not seem to despise himself for not being a bird, and he was completely different from other "fake and serious" readers, so Zhang Zhong felt that chatting with Xu Jin was very pleasant, and it was worth making friends.

Xu Jin would be unable to cry or laugh if he knew Zhang Zhong's inner thoughts, as a traverser, he had seen a lot of transsexuals in his previous life, quite like the host of an X star show, so he was not disgusted with eunuchs as "creatures", but he was not interested in making friends with eunuchs, not to mention that Zhang Zhong's reputation was really a bit stinky, so he didn't have to recruit himself.

"This official still has official business!" Xu Jin euphemistically rejected Zhang's father-in-law's retention.

"Since there is something wrong with the Xu County Order, then retreat!" Xu Tai said lightly, obviously not interested in chatting with a small county commander like Xu Jin, what he was most concerned about now was where King Ning was imprisoned.

Xu Jin was about to turn around and leave, but saw a group of people walk into the main hall, the first person was wearing a crimson official robe, with a cloud goose pattern embroidered on his chest, and it was Wu Wending, the procurator of the sentence.

Wu Wending is forty years old, with a square face, three long beards under his chin, and a dignified appearance, but his face is not very good-looking at this time, and there is anger in his eyes.

Xu Jin Shili said: "Xia Guan has seen Master Wu! ”

Wu Wending walked straight past Xu Jin, and the subordinates behind him also had a look of disdain on their faces, and Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly.

Wu Wending walked in front of Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong, bowed slightly, and said proudly: "Presumably the two are General Xu and Zhang Jianjun. ”

"If it weren't for the Xu County Order today, our family would still be stopped by the soldiers under Lord Wu to bask in the sun outside the city, then dare to work Lord Wu to go out of the city to greet us." Zhang Zhong said in a weird manner, this thing is obviously very resentful.

Xu Jin couldn't help but curse secretly, this dead eunuch is pulling hatred for himself. Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Zhong's words came out, Wu Wending's subordinates looked at Xu Jin with disdain.

Xu Tai sat on the ground with a golden sword, and did not give Wu Wending a return gift, and was stopped from entering the city just now, which made him very unhappy, so he obviously planned to give Wu Wending a dismount, and said coldly: "Where is Wang Shouren, why don't you come to see General Ben?" ”

Xu Tai's attitude was arrogant and rude, and he called Lord Futai's name directly, Wu Wending's subordinates after Ding showed anger, you must know that Wang Shouren enjoys a very high status in both the army and the literary world.

Wu Wending's eyebrows were raised, and he said lightly: "Lord Futai has taken the anti-thief King Ning and a group of accomplices to the north to sacrifice prisoners last month, and now it is estimated that he has arrived in Hangzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong's faces changed rapidly, especially the former, the main purpose of coming to Nanchang this time was to grab King Ning, and then take the great merit of capturing King Ning as his own, and now he heard that Wang Shouren, the old fox, actually escorted King Ning to the north first, so he was naturally shocked and angry.

Wu Wending didn't know why, and continued to say solemnly: "This is the prince's mansion, it is not suitable for General Xu and Gonggong Zhang to live in, please move, this official will prepare a residence for the other two!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly think, no wonder Wu Wending didn't look good at himself, he dared to be affectionate because he arranged for Xu Zhang and the others to live in Ning Wangfu, maybe Wu Wending still thought he was patting himself!

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong were already extremely unhappy, and when they heard that Wu Wending was going to move out of King Ning's Mansion by themselves, their faces suddenly turned dark.

Zhang Zhong sneered: "Our family thinks it's quite suitable to live here, so let's live here, don't bother Lord Wu to make other arrangements!" ”

Wu Wending emphasized with a calm face: "This is the prince's mansion!" ”

Xu Tai said disdainfully: "What about the prince's mansion, this general is the righteous son of today's son, and he is also a colleague of the Son of Heaven, and he has also lived in the Ouchi Palace, not to mention the prince's mansion!" ”

It is said that when today's son Zhu Houzhao went south this time to personally soldier, he proclaimed himself "Zhu Shou, the mighty general of the Fengtian conquest of the governor's military affairs", and Xu Tai was the "mighty deputy general", the two of them were one and the same, so it was reasonable for Xu Tai to say that he and the Son of Heaven were colleagues.

It is worth mentioning here that the emperor "sealed" himself as a general, and only when Zhu Houzhao did it today, there is absolutely no one before or after.

Zhang Zhong said triumphantly: "Our family is the righteous brother of today's son, this prince's mansion General Xu can live, and our family will naturally live too." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, he dared to worship this eunuch today, this matter is estimated to be true, otherwise Zhang Zhong would not dare to show off everywhere.

Wu Wending was so angry that his beard trembled under his chin, but he couldn't refute it.

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong glanced at each other proudly, the latter took a sip of tea from the teacup, and continued in a good time: "Master Wu, our family heard that King Ning is rich in the world, you have raided King Ning's mansion, where are all the belongings now?" Hand it all over and let our family take it back to the capital and hand it over to the inner library! ”

Compared with Xu Tai, Gonggong Zhang values the wealth in King Ning's mansion more, and the credit is secondary, so he can't wait to ask for it.

Wu Wending couldn't see that this eunuch wanted to fill his pockets, and said coldly: "The property confiscated by King Ning's mansion will naturally be counted by the household department, and then it will not be entered into the treasury, so there is no need to bother Father-in-law Zhang." ”

It is worth mentioning here that the household department is in charge of the state treasury, which is equivalent to the current treasury, and whether it is the officials' salaries, military salaries, or all the public expenditures of the state, the household department transfers money from the state treasury. The inner treasury is different, the silver in the inner treasury is, to put it bluntly, the emperor's private money, which is usually managed by the eunuchs, and the civil officials have no right to interfere.

Zhang Zhong obviously wanted to put all the confiscated property in King Ning's mansion into the inner treasury, and then make some benefits for himself, while Wu Wending, as a civilian official, naturally wanted to hand over the confiscated property to the state treasury and spend the money where the country needed it, just like Jiangxi's post-war reconstruction and the pension of the wounded and wounded soldiers, so he refused to hand over the seized money to Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong's face turned cold, and he said gloomily: "Wu Wending, our family and General Xu led the royal division into the city, you obstructed it in every way, and now you are hiding King Ning's belongings, could it be that you are a fellow party of the anti-thief King Ning?" ”

Since Wu Wending didn't know how to lift, Gonggong Zhang began to release his skills, fanning the flames, and deducting pots is his strength.
