Chapter 972: Out of Beijing
Shi Kefa was shocked, the main reason why he was being watched today was because he ventured to visit the Jinyi Prison...... Is it a place where ordinary people can go? Shi Kefa still found an old friend of the Shi family, and now he has experienced the experience of Sidang in Jinyiwei, and took the risk to bring him in, and after entering, he found that Zuo Guangdou had been tortured, his body was scarred, and his breath was dying...... Shi Kefa cried bitterly, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only follow his teacher's words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This story later spread widely, but also for Shi Kefa added a lot of points, at that time under the atmosphere of Wei Gelding arresting people everywhere, Shi Kefa dared to go to prison to see Zuo Guangdou, it is definitely a kind of courageous behavior, Shi Kefa can become the leader of Jiangnan Donglin, career all the way up, and finally responsible for the military of the Hongguang Dynasty, the origin is not for nothing, in addition to being Zuo Guangdou's disciple, the performance of this section was also recognized by the later Donglin Party, which is also an important reason.
Of course, this is all an afterthought, at this time, Shi Kefa had a faint regret in his heart, but it had happened, and regret would not help, so he could only hold on to the end......
"Since ancient times, I have not seen evil power to defeat ......righteousness," Shi Kefa said strongly: "Wei Gelding is nothing more than a momentary ...... of pride"
"Hah!" It was Li Guobin who came out to speak, he shook his head and said with a smile: "A young man is a young man after all." What evil and justice is nothing more than party strife. You people in Donglin, at least seventy percent of our money are collected, and there are eunuchs who do not collect money, and there are those who do things and those who do not do things, both parties have it, what is good and evil? I don't see it. ”
Shi Kefa's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while. If someone else said this, he still had room to refute, but what was talking in front of him was Li Guobin, the most famous broker in Beijing, and it was very satisfactory to enter and leave the mansions of eunuchs and nobles......
"Well, I'm not here to embarrass you." Li Guobin said: "Your third uncle has been standing with us again, after the insurance, we are responsible for the safety of his goods and personnel, you want to return to the auspicious charm, you can go with the convoy, whether it is a bandit or a tiger scoundrel, or a factory guard flag school, anyway, as long as the person is not a demon or a monster, we Hutchison will help you block this catastrophe." What's the matter, do you follow your third uncle, or do you figure it out yourself? ”
When Shi Congbin heard this, he immediately persuaded him: "Xianzhi, you should go with me, go back to Xiangfu to study for the exam, just look at the style." ”
Shi Kefa hesitated, looked at Li Guobin, and said, "I once instructed the third uncle to embarrass you and remember ......."
"Qi." Li Guobin said: "We don't take Hutchison to heart, Mr. Shi is still a man, is his mind not as big as our businessman?" ”
"Mr. Li is also an old friend." Shi Kefa knew that Li Guobin was also famous, and he could be regarded as an equal, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Even if you inherit your account, you will be rewarded in the future." ”
"In the future, we will talk about the future." Li Guobin said: "The current peace was bought by your uncle and nephew with silver, and we do things like this, one yard to one yard." ”
If five years ago, Li Guobin himself categorically couldn't say such a thing, but now it is very natural to say it, and there is nothing unusual, Shi Kefa felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but he could only accept it gloomily.
At dawn the next day, the convoy set off.
The convoy is along the land to the south, there are to Zhending Shunde, there are also to Baoding, the farthest is to the direction of Kaifeng, Henan, more than a dozen merchants are divided into six convoys, set off together, more than 40 carts and a squadron of business group training together, here in the capital, the group training is just wearing gray robes, no military rank badges and other things that show the identity of soldiers, even their firearms are hidden, Daming can't help but have swords, guns, bows and arrows, but forbidden firearms armor, In fact, the folk also use birds to hunt, as long as it is not too out of line, there will be no real management, because the development of the insurance industry needs to maintain a high safety rate of caravans for a long time, in addition to the obvious increase in thieves in recent years, the number of ringing horse poles has also increased greatly, and no one in Hutchison's convoy dares to touch the majesty of the previous few years, but now they do not dare to guarantee that there will be no one jumping off the wall in a hurry, or after the strength increases, they want to weigh the two catties of Yusheng's guards, the battle ahead is not tight, and Yusheng has transferred more than 20 squadrons back from the frontMost of them are recruits, scattered in the northern state capitals to clear the place and protect the caravan, of course, they will not interfere too much, public security and bandit suppression are the business of the local government, Hutchison's attitude is that as long as it does not infringe on the convoy of Hutchison Merchants, Hutchison will never take action, once someone dares to violate, they will start to exterminate it, and will not forgive.
Shi Kefa packed his bags overnight...... He doesn't have too much luggage, because he has been living in Zuo Guangdou's mansion, the books are all looking at the Zuo family's collection, Zuo Guangdou is a great Confucian minister, the family has enough books, and there is no need for Shi Kefa to deliberately search and buy, only dozens of selected Shiwen are left at hand, always figure out, Baguwen is dancing in shackles, not just Guangguang Guwen can be lifted and Jinshi if he does well, Xiucai is proficient in one of the Five Classics, and the eight shares can be won without breaking the exception, and it is much more difficult to take the exam. I can't pass the test ten times, and when I reach Shi Kefa's current level, my article attainments are not shallow, as long as I always figure out the selection of Shiwen ink scrolls, there should be no problem in getting a good score...... This is Zuo Guangdou's daily words, Shi Kefa leaned on the car, holding a selection of Shiwen in his hand, his eyes were staring at the scroll, but his mind did not belong, thinking about the teacher's voice and smile, he didn't look at it at all.
"The car really doesn't bump." Shi Congbin and his nephew sat opposite each other, and their mouths kept admiring.
Although Shi Kefa was in a lawsuit, he couldn't help but praise: "My nephew is riding this car for the first time, but it is really stable and comfortable, and he has been famous for a long time, and his reputation is well deserved." ”
Everyone from the official road of Yongding Gate all the way to the south, this section of the official road due to the large flow of people, along the state and county dense, all over the year will issue a large number of forced labor to repair the road, the road condition is quite good, along the avenue all the way to the south, although it is the autumn wind, but because of the good condition of the car, the road is quite fast, the Shi family uncle and nephew and others are bent on leaving the place of wrong, looking at the bleak autumn scene, the mood is quite pleasant and relaxed.
After leaving the capital for more than 20 miles, Shi Congbin suddenly said: "Xianzhi, look, someone is really following you." ”
From the right side of the official road, five or six horsemen on horseback appeared, all men armed with swords and swords, galloping forward, raising large clouds of dust.
Shi Kefa's heart was suddenly extremely nervous...... Although his teacher had been teaching him some great principles of loyalty, righteousness and solar terms, he still advised him to stay away for a while, and even not to take the official examination for five years after the Apocalypse...... As long as a person does not jump out to the book, the eunuch party has no reason to arrest people with auspicious charms, and if he wins the jinshi and enters the court as an official, it is to be kneaded by others. Not to mention anything else, if Shi Kefa is assigned to which palace to be an official, this life's career will be over. In the prison, Zuo Guangdou's body was full of festering scars, flies and maggots were flying, Zuo Guangdou himself was able to hold on, and there was no sign of weakness, but for a young man like Shi Kefa, the scene in his eyes was as terrifying as a nightmare, when his teacher Chunchun told him to take refuge temporarily, Shi Kefa actually did not object, and thought that if he was really arrested because of his visit to the prison and was tortured like his teacher, the blood on Shi Kefa's face turned pale.
"Xianzhi, don't panic, hold steady." probably saw that Shi Kefa's expression was wrong, and comforted him: "You have to believe in He Yusheng, get into their car, even if the flag school comes, you will be fine." ”
"Are they businessmen...... Shi Kefa said with a white face: "Besides, they have always been close to the eunuch party, and they were even on the periphery of the eunuch party before, and they have gradually become alienated in recent years, mainly because they made too much noise when they aided the Thirteen Mountains last time, the court was suspicious, and the eunuch party also had the heart to put an end to its exchanges, so that the two sides gradually separated from the ......"
"What are you talking about?" Shi Congbin was also a little flustered in his heart, but he still said seriously: "He Yusheng has never been a bad person and a dishonest person, just look at it!" ”
Ti Qi is indeed the captain of the Jinyi Guard, originally they didn't have much interest in a small shrimp like Shi Kefa, but after following him and reporting it, he didn't know who was very interested in this person running to Heyusheng for refuge, so he took Shi Kefa back and tortured him...... At this time, don't say that it is a lifter, even if it is a serious two list of Jinshi should take it, Jinyiwei got an order, and immediately sent someone to the scorecard to get people, only to find that there was a convoy out of the city early in the morning, so the soldiers were divided into two ways, while sending people to stare at the score, while sending people to chase all the way out of Yongding Gate, the convoy went early and fast, when these people rushed over, they had already walked out of more than 20 miles.
The uncle and nephew of the Shi family stared at the rear of the car with their eyes, and there was a steward and a team of guards who escorted the car with Yusheng to negotiate, and several flag school columns wanted to come this way, but they were also blocked by the guards, and it was obvious that the faces of the flag schools were not good-looking, but they didn't dare to move...... They still know the strength of the Hutchison guards, and they don't want to embarrass themselves.
Besides, so far out of the city, the Hutchison guards had already taken the fire gun and brought it in their hands, and the flag school was not blind, they didn't have the confidence to fight the fire gun with flesh and blood.
Shi Kefa only saw that the steward who led the team kept shaking his head, and the leader of the flag school didn't know what level of military attache he was, only wearing ordinary robes, never wearing a black gauze hat, and a silver belt around his waist, it was estimated that he was a military attache like a hundred households, this person had been putting pressure on Hutchison's steward, and his face was extremely ugly, and then he simply pointed at Hutchison's steward's nose and scolded angrily, and Hutchison's steward was not angry, but kept smiling and shaking his head......
"Bang, bang, bang......"
A few guns suddenly sounded, it turned out that the leader of the flag school waved his hand suddenly, and several flag schools rode their horses to the front of the convoy, and the horse whip hit the body, at this time Shi Kefa was so shocked that he almost jumped out of the car and fled, but the guards of Hutchison did not hesitate at all, and immediately someone set off the firecracker, although it was released in the air, but the huge sound of the flag school turned pale...... They really didn't expect that Hutchison's guards would dare to really set fire guns!
Even if it's a mid-air shot!
