Chapter 252: The Power of a Word

At the beginning, Wang Shouren called on the state capitals to raise troops to quell the rebellion, and Wu Wending was the first to respond, and in the Battle of Poyang Lake, Wu Wending was the main general, facing King Ning's sailors head-on, braving the rain of artillery and arrows to supervise the battle at the bow of the ship, so in addition to Wang Shouren, it was the greatest credit for Wu Wending's turn.

Now that Zhang Zhong was slandered as a fellow party of the anti-thief King Ning, Wu Wending couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "King Ning was personally led by this official to defeat and capture, you eunuch An dare to slander this official nonsense!" ”

Wu Wending's sentence "eunuch" stabbed Zhang Zhong's sore spot, and Zhang Gonggong suddenly jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and jumped to tiptoe and shouted: "Wu Wending, what's the matter?" Annoyed and embarrassed by what our family said? General Xu, let people tie him up, our family suspects that he is a fellow traitor! ”

Xu Tai failed to get King Ning, it was because his stomach was full of fire, and Wu Wending was Wang Shouren's confidant, so he poured his anger on him and shouted: "Come on, take down the anti-thief fellow party Wu Wending and ask for the crime!" ”

As soon as the words ended, more than a dozen Beijing soldiers immediately rushed in and captured Wu Wending murderously, and Wu Wending's subordinates were also forced by other Beijing soldiers to raise their knives.

Wu Wending was hard-boned, and he was not afraid of being cut by two Beijing soldiers, but scolded loudly: "This official risked his life to pacify the country and fight against thieves, what is the crime?" You are the confidants of the Son of Heaven, but you insult the loyal ministers and righteous men who pacify the anti-thieves, and avenge the anti-thieves, I think you are the same party of the anti-thieves, and you should be beheaded! ”

"Fuck you!" Xu Tai was annoyed and angry, and flew up and kicked Wu Wending to the ground.

"Lord Wu!"

Seeing this, Wu Wending's subordinates rushed up and helped him up, and surrounded him, glaring angrily at Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong.

Wu Wending was obviously kicked not lightly, and his face was pale from pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhang thief Xu thief, if you have the ability, you will kill this official, and the law of heaven and law will not tolerate you." ”

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong both had ugly faces, although they were arrogant, but they did not dare to kill meritorious officials, not to mention that Wu Wending was the supreme chief of Nanchang, both in the officialdom and in the army, he was extremely prestigious, if he killed him and caused turmoil in Nanchang, it would be worth the loss, maybe he would have to take his life.

In the main hall, the two sides looked at each other angrily, looking tense. A cold light flashed in Xu Tai's eyes, obviously still weighing whether to make a move.

Although Xu Jin has no personal relationship with Wu Wending, the balance of feelings is still biased towards the side of the civil officials, not to mention that Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai are really unkind, so they stepped forward and said: "Gonggong Zhang, as far as this official knows, although King Ning is rich in the world, most of the money in the palace has been transported by him to Beijing to fight the powerful, so when he raided Ning Wangfu, he didn't have much silver, but he found an account book, and now in the hands of Lord Futai, if Gonggong Zhang doesn't believe it, when Lord Futai comes back, you can ask." ”

Originally, when Wu Wending saw Xu Jinxing come out, his eyebrows immediately rose, but when he heard what Xu Jin said, he was stunned, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai's faces changed slightly, in order to restore the three guards of the palace, King Ning was indeed full of gold and silver wealth, bribing the powerful people of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the current cabinet chief assistant Yang Tinghe also took the benefits of King Ning, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai were naturally no exception. Now that Wang Shouren has found the account book of King Ning's bribe, doesn't that mean that he has a handle in Wang Shouren's hands?

At this time, even Wu Wending's subordinates tasted the beauty of Xu Jin's words, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts, their eyes looking at Xu Jin changed, they still despised Xu Jin for slapping Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai's sycophants, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Zhang Zhong glanced at Xu Jin coldly, and said lightly: "Xu County Order, you can't talk nonsense, it's just a county order, Wang Dutang even tells you this kind of thing?" ”

Although Zhang Zhong looked at Xu Jin in the eye, when he saw that Xu Jin was obviously on Wu Wending's side, he immediately turned his face!

Xu Jin's expression remained unchanged and said: "Of course it's not Lord Futai who told me, it's just hearsay." ”

If Wu Wending is not clever at this time, then his officialdom will be in vain, and he said coldly: "It is true that as Xu Ziqian said, now the account book is in the hands of Lord Futai." ”

Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong glanced at each other, as the saying goes, it is better to believe it than to believe it, what if Wang Shouren really has the account book of King Ning's bribery? Moreover, Wang Shouren escorted King Ning to the north last month, if he saw the emperor and presented the account book, wouldn't it be bad?

As soon as they thought of this, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai were restless!

Xu Jin took the opportunity to say: "Since there is an account book, it will be easy to handle, and when Lord Futai comes back, General Xu and Gonggong Zhang can come to check it." Well, General Xu and Gonggong Zhang have traveled a long way, so the official will not disturb the two of them to rest and take their leave! ”

Xu Jin said and turned to Wu Wending and saluted: "The lower official has taken his leave!" ”

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the hall, he had broken the deadlock, and gave the two sides down the steps, if they could still pinch each other, he couldn't help it.

Wu Wending snorted coldly at Zhang Xu and the others, and left angrily with his subordinates.

Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai's faces were cold, and after a long time, the latter asked in a suspicious whisper: "Gonggong Zhang, do you say that Wang Shouren really has an account book in his hand?" ”

Zhang Zhong said in a dark voice: "Even if there is, let me ask the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty, who has confiscated the benefits of King Ning, the implication is too wide, and our family will not believe that Wang Shouren dares to present the account book to the emperor!" ”

Xu Tai said worriedly: "That being said, we have to guard against it, we have to send a fast horse back to say hello to Commander Jiang (Jiang Bin)!" ”

Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be!" ”

……

"Xu Ziqian stays!" As soon as he walked out of the gate of King Ning's Mansion not far away, Wu Wending called out to Xu Jin in front.

Xu Jin stopped and bowed: "Xiaguan just has something to say to Master Wu, seeing that there are still more than two months before the township exam, Xiaguan wants to resign from the post of county commander and study to take the exam with peace of mind!" ”

A hint of apology flashed in Wu Wending's eyes, before he thought that Xu Jin arranged for Xu Zhang and the others to stay in King Ning's Mansion as a sycophant, but just now Xu Jin did not hesitate to offend Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai, and spoke out to relieve himself, so it seems that he misunderstood him. And at this time, Wu Wending also calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, Ning Wangfu is indeed the most suitable place to station the Beijing army in Nanchang City.

Wu Wending said with a pleasant face: "Xu Ziqian, your county order was appointed by Lord Futai, do you want to resign or wait for Lord Futai to come back, you can study at ease during this time, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

Xu Jin had no choice but to nod when he heard this, in fact, he still lived very comfortably in the backyard of the county government, so he didn't have to worry about things and had to take it, so why not do it? What's more, with Wu Wending's words, he can be a shopkeeper in a grand manner, and he will resolutely not care about anything in the future!

Looking at Xu Jin Junxiu's back, Wu Wending couldn't help but secretly sigh that Lord Futai had a lonely vision, and today he easily "subdued" Zhang Erxu with just one sentence, not only freed himself, but also broke Zhang Zhong's thoughts about the property of Ning Wangfu. This alone shows that this son is indeed witty!
