Xu Jin and his entourage entered the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, and immediately someone closed the thick door of the mansion, and even dropped the two horizontal bars behind the door, making a posture of closing the door and beating the dog. Xie Erjian and Xie Sangun glanced at each other, and the corners of the latter's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was very disdainful. Huo Tao and the four officials obviously also faintly felt that something was wrong, and turned their heads around worriedly.

Zhang Wangpi, the housekeeper of the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, made a gesture of invitation without smiling and said, "Lord Xu, Lord Huo, please come inside, our Hou Ye will be here soon." ”

Xu Jin walked calmly towards the hall door, Huo Tao had to follow hard, and the Xie brothers and the four officials were stopped at the door.

Xu Jin and Huo Tao sat in the living room, and no one served tea, and it was left to dry for nearly a quarter of an hour, before Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, paced out from behind the screen.

"I've seen the Marquis of Jianchang!" Xu Jin and Huo Tao stood up and saluted, this form still has to go.

Zhang Yanling glanced at Huo Tao and said, "Who are you?" ”

Huo Tao hurriedly said: "Xia Guan is Huo Tao, the head of the household department. ”

Zhang Yanling immediately said disdainfully: "The little six-pin is in charge, is he qualified to enter Benhou's living room?" Get out of here. ”

Huo Tao's face turned red, although he had long expected that he would ask for hardship when he came to the door today, he didn't expect that Jianchang Hou would be so domineering, and he didn't leave any affection, and he would make fun of himself as soon as they met.

As the saying goes, the dog beats the face of the owner first, Huo Tao is Xu Jin's direct subordinate, Zhang Yanling clearly humiliated Huo Tao, but in fact, he slapped Xu Jin's face and demonstrated to him.

Since the last incident in Qionglin Building, Xu Jin has already torn his face with Zhang Yanling, and this time he came to the door for another purpose, so he naturally would not be polite to Zhang Yanling, and said with a light smile: "The Marquis of Jianchang is so majestic, aren't you afraid of blowing down your own house?" ”

Zhang Yanling looked at Xu Jin and sneered: "The house belongs to Ben Hou, even if it is scraped down, it doesn't matter to others, Ben Hou is driving people out of his own house, does Jing Anbo think there is a problem?" ”

Xu Jin smiled lightly: "Naturally, there is no problem, but we are on a business trip today on the order of the emperor, even if the majesty of the Marquis of Jianchang can blow down the house, it can't brush the emperor's order." ”

"Phew, Xu Jin, you don't hold chicken feathers as arrows, the emperor just ordered you to measure the land, but he didn't give you the right to come to the door to check the land contract, if the marquis is not happy, he can kick you out of the house at any time." Zhang Yanling said, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Xu Jin calmly took out a volume of holy decree from his sleeve and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: ...... From now on, all the fields in Gyeonggi will be cleared, and all the fields in Gyeonggi will be cooperated, and everything related can be done cheaply, and those who dare to obstruct will be severely punished. ”

After Xu Jin finished reading the holy decree, he said lightly: "The Marquis of Jianchang can hear clearly, all matters related to Qingzhang soil, this official can act cheaply, and I also ask the Hou Ye to actively cooperate with the household department to inspect the field contract and re-measure the land under the name of your mansion." ”

Zhang Yanling's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "It's not impossible for Lord Xu to check the field contract, but there are a lot of fields under Benhou's name, and there are several big boxes in the contract alone. ”

Xu Jin arched his hand and sat down again quietly, and Huo Tao also sat down, but he secretly wondered in his heart, why Zhang Yanling's attitude changed so quickly, and he was really subdued by the holy decree, this is not like his character.

Zhang Yanling sat down on the main seat, slapped the table and scolded: "Why don't you serve tea to the guests, are they all dead?" ”

As soon as these words came out, a maid came in with tea, and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yanling tremblingly, and then walked to Xu Jin to pour tea, but her hands trembled slightly.

Xu Jin subconsciously glanced up at the servant girl and found that the servant girl actually looked good, but her eyes wandered, and she was obviously a little nervous.

After the maidservant finished pouring tea for Xu Jin, Huo Tao, who was about to go down, suddenly fell into Xu Jin's arms with a crooked body, and the teapot in his hand was also broken on the ground, while tearing open his clothes, revealing the peaks and peaks of white flowers on his chest, and exclaimed: "Lord Xu, you ...... What a disrespect! ”

Huo Tao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, is this okay?

Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling smiled darkly, it doesn't matter if he plays fake, he just needs an excuse to make trouble, then smashed the teacup in his hand, stood up and scolded: "The thief dares, An dares to insult the maid of the mansion in front of the eyes of the marquis, Xu Jin, you are really cowardly!" ”

Xu Jin pushed the maid in his arms away, stood up calmly, and said with a light smile: "It's not a shame for the Marquis of Jianchang to use such a clumsy trick?" ”

After the servant girl was pushed away by Xu Jin, she covered her face with her chest open and cried. Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Xu Jin, it's you who are embarrassed today, come and beat this shameless, lewd and lustful guy out with a stick." ”

If Xu Jin had attacked the Marquis of Jianchang Mansion by force yesterday, Zhang Yanling would definitely kill Xu Jin directly, but Xu Jin was just going to the door on business today, and he did not threaten the Marquis of Jianchang's Mansion, so he naturally had no excuse to kill him, so he planned to find an excuse to beat Xu Jin half to death, as for Huo Tao, a small six-grade master, he would be killed if he was killed, anyway, he didn't have to worry that the little emperor would stand up for him.

Zhang Yanling gave an order, and the family members who were ambushed behind the screen immediately pounced out like wolves, everyone holding sticks.

Huo Tao's face turned pale in an instant, but Xu Jin reacted very quickly, grabbed the teacup and slammed it towards Zhang Yanling, and at the same time kicked the coffee table over, jumped up, and hid behind the Taishi chair.

"Yikes!" Zhang Yanling was splashed with the hot tea in the cup, and he screamed loudly in pain.

Those family members were stunned, and stepped forward to help Zhang Yanling, who was not lightly burned, with patches of red spots on his face, and scolded loudly: "Beat, beat Lao Tzu to death." ”

The servants immediately rushed forward fiercely and hit with their clubs. Huo Tao only reacted at this time, only to stand up and want to escape, his head was beaten, and blood flowed on the spot, holding his head with both hands, and his body curled up into a ball to protect the vital point.

Xu Jin saw the opportunity quickly, and hid behind the Taishi's chair, but he was not hit for the time being.

At this time, the Xie brothers and the four household officials who were waiting outside were also attacked, and twenty or thirty guards surrounded them and beat them.

Xie Ergun easily snatched a stick, and in a few clicks, he knocked over several family members who were blocking the way, and shouted in a low voice: "Three shots, protect my brother-in-law!" ”

"Okay!" Xie Sangun laughed and pounced into the hall like a tiger.

Xie Erjian took out a small bamboo tube with his backhand and unscrewed it, white smoke came out, and then a signal firework shot into the sky.

Qi Jingtong had already taken the brothers of the five hundred battalions to wait nearby, and when he saw the flames rising from the mansion of the Marquis of Jianchang, he grinned and said, "Brothers, work!" ”

Fifty soldiers of the 500 battalion immediately ran to the outside of the Jianchang Marquis's mansion, although the door of the mansion was closed and the courtyard wall was three meters high, but this could not be difficult for the brothers of the 500 battalion, and it was their unique skill to climb over the wall.

I saw that the soldiers of the 500 battalion were in groups of three, and with the cooperation of each other, they climbed the three-meter-high courtyard wall and jumped in.

Soon, the door opened from the inside, and Qi Jingtong rushed in with the rest of the brothers. Those Hou Mansion family members who were besieging Xie Erjian were soon overturned by the five hundred battalion soldiers.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian led people to rush into the living room, and seeing that Zhang Yanling, who was not in a good situation, had fled to the backyard in a hurry under the escort of the slaves.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Qi Jingtong couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xu Jin who was stained with blood on his body.

Xu Jin shook his head imperceptibly, and Qi Jingtong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xu Jin was helping Huo Tao, who was covered in blood, and the official robe on his body was also bloodstained, looking miserable. The blood on Xu Jin's body was stained with other people's, but Huo Tao was really beaten and groaned in pain.

The scroll of the decree had fallen beside it, cut in half, and stained with blood.

Originally, the Marquis of Jianchang just wanted to beat Xu Jin half to death, but Xu Jin poured a cup of hot tea, and this thing was so angry that he lost his mind, and actually ordered his subordinates to use a knife, Xu Jin blocked it with a holy decree, so the holy decree became what it is now.

"The Marquis of Jianchang deliberately murdered the imperial court officials, and destroyed the holy decree, committing the crime of defrauding the king, and his crime should be punished, so you will take down this thief as soon as possible!" Xu Jin shouted loudly.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian glanced at each other, and immediately led people to the backyard, and the gunshots rang out immediately, deliberately destroying the holy decree and despising the emperor's authority, this crime is tantamount to conspiracy, and it is naturally no problem to treat the anti-thief with a gun.

Bang bang bang......

The sound of gunshots and screams rose and fell, and the Hou Mansion of Shouning on the opposite side naturally heard it, and the family members hurriedly reported to Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning: "Master Hou, the big thing is not good, Jing Anbo Xu Jin led five hundred battalions to attack the opposite mansion. ”

Zhang Heling's face turned pale with fright, he knew about his younger brother's smashing of Xu Jin's property yesterday, but he didn't pay much attention to it, for him, it was just a trivial matter, anyway, this kind of thing their brothers had done before. It's just that what Zhang Heling didn't expect was that Xu Jin dared to use five hundred battalions to retaliate and directly enter the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, this son is really too fierce, right?

"Hurry, hurry...... Inform the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division that Jing Anbo and Xu Jin have rebelled, and let them immediately send troops to suppress it, and don't let anyone from the Xu family go. After Zhang Heling finished the order, he immediately took people to leave from Zemen, and hurried to the palace to report the news.

At this time, the little emperor Zhu Houxi was attending the banquet day lecture in the Wenhua Palace, and the person in charge of the lecture today was Shi Xuan, a bachelor of Hanlin and the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

The content of Shi Shilang's lecture today is "Zuo Chuan", and even Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, also came to observe.

Shi Shilang was talking like a river on stage, but Zhu Houxi was drowsy and yawned from time to time.

Elder Yang Ge couldn't help frowning, and was about to remind Zhu Houxi to concentrate, when Zhu Hong ran in in a panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Jing Anbo Xu Jin and the Marquis of Jianchang have fought, and now they have attacked the Marquis of Jianchang's mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent in an instant. Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "What's the matter?" Why did Jing Anbo attack the Marquis of Jianchang? ”

Zhu Hong said cautiously: "This subordinate is not clear, it is said that Jing Anbo took the officials of the household department to the Jianchang Marquis Mansion today to check the land contract, and it will not be long before the five hundred battalions of people forcibly invade the Jianchang Marquis Mansion. ”

Xu Jin is the emperor's favorite minister, and the Marquis of Jianchang is the younger brother of the queen mother, so Zhu Hong said cautiously and did not dare to be biased.

Shi Xuan said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, in the imperial city, at the foot of the sky, Xu Ziqian actually attacked the Hou Mansion with troops, could it be that he wanted to rebel?" ”

Yuan Zonggao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately retorted: "At this time, I don't know the original situation, Shi Shilang's words are biased, I believe that Xu Ziqian will not order to attack the Jianchang Marquis Mansion for no reason." ”

Zhu Houxi didn't care why Xu Jin repaired the Marquis of Jianchang, he just wanted to have an excuse to leave the Wenhua Hall now, and he didn't have to listen to Shi Xuan's lullaby anymore, and immediately shouted: "Come on, drive to the Marquis of Jianchang's mansion, I want to ask in person." ”

After the little emperor finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and ran out of the Wenhua Hall in a hurry. Yang Tinghe shook his head lightly, and also chased after him, he had a hunch that the Marquis of Jianchang was going to be unlucky this time, and since Xu Jin dared to attack the Hou Mansion, he must have something to rely on.

……

Hour Fang, Jianchang Hou Mansion, crying and shouting. Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, and a group of family members hid in the backyard hall shivering, and the housekeeper Zhang Wang took more than a dozen family members to block the door tremblingly.

In the courtyard, several soldiers of the 500th battalion were aiming at the gate with flintlock muskets, but they had no intention of attacking it.

At this time, in the living room in the front yard, Xu Jin was sitting leisurely on a chair, although there were many people in the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, fifty five hundred battalion soldiers were enough to control the overall situation, so he was not worried at all.

"My lord, I found it in the cellar." Qi Jingtong walked out, and two brothers from the 500 battalion were still supporting one person, who was Sun Laosan, who was kidnapped yesterday.

Sun Laosan looked miserable at the moment, his tattered clothes were stained with dried blood, and his face was also blue and purple, and when he saw Xu Jin, he cried loudly: "My lord, I didn't say anything, they fought me all night, forced me to ask for the secret recipe of the glass mirror, and I didn't tell them anything." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be a little moved, looking at Sun Laosan's tragic situation, it was estimated that he had suffered a lot this day and night, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay now, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can just say the prescription, money is something outside the body, you can earn it again if the silver is gone, and this life is gone." ”

Sun Laosan nodded gratefully.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, it turned out that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had arrived, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in, surrounding the front yard hall, and the bows and crossbows were aimed at Xu Jin and the others in the hall.

Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, walked into the courtyard with a gloomy face, followed by Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.

Xu Guangzuo stood still in the courtyard, and shouted with a cold gaze: "Xu Jin, you attacked the Jianchang Marquis Mansion in broad daylight, do you want to rebel?" The governor of Pontus is limited to surrender within ten breaths, or you will be killed. ”
