Chapter 812: Entering the City

As long as the other party is willing to open the door, it doesn't matter what is checked, Huang Mengjia took out the Qionghai Zhenqian General Waist Card that he specially brought with him, and then ordered someone to take out a few wooden boxes containing the head, and put them in the basket hanging down from the city head.

Huang Shoubei first looked at the waist card, and the other party was really Mr. Qianqian of Qionghai Town, and then opened the box with his own hands, and it was indeed the head of the Tartar inside.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of killing good people and risking merit was very rampant, and in order to receive rewards, some people even learned a craft to change the heads of ordinary Han people into Tartar heads. In order to verify the head of this disguise, many people in the army have also developed a pair of fiery eyes, and by observing the scalp, teeth, cheekbones and other features, they can distinguish whether it is a real tartar or a fake tartar.

After Huang Shoubei inspected, he was surprised to find that several wooden boxes contained real tartars. The rules of the late Ming Dynasty, a Tartar head can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and three heads can be exchanged for a total future.

He glanced at the chiefs enviously for a few moments, and then ordered: "Open the gates and let them in." ”

After some small twists and turns, Huang Mengjia finally entered the capital.

The Huang Garrison of the Beijing camp was guarding the gate of the city, and after Huang Mengjia came in, he approached him and whispered: "Mr. Huang Qian, there are so many Tartar heads, as long as they are offered, they will definitely alarm the saint, if you don't follow the rules, go directly to Shoufu, put the cart before the horse, you and Shoufu will have some trouble......"

Although Huang Mengjia is rough, he is thick and fine, and after thinking about it for a while, he also figured out the key to it. Whoever is the emperor doesn't want his subordinates to mingle, and he will be in the dark about everything, especially if he has a long face like offering his head, he must put gold on the emperor's face, and if he runs to Shoufu with his head, the emperor will definitely be angry when he knows it.

He said to Huang Shoubei gratefully: "Thank you brother for reminding me!" I'm a rough person, and I can't think about a lot of things. After thinking about it, he touched it on his body and took out a gold leaf - this was turned out of the Tartar by the way when he was dealing with the corpse of the Tartar, and the two pieces left at that time were just because he thought they were exquisitely made and beautiful, and he didn't know which dignitary's house the Tartar was snatched from - and handed it to Huang Shoubei.

"Brother, a good person does it to the end, you might as well give me instructions on how to do it?"

Huang Shoubei's eyes lit up, he glanced at the golden golden leaves, then took it and quickly put it away, and said, "This is easy." You take your subordinates and the head directly to the yamen of the military department, and it is true. At the same time, he sent someone to report the letter to the Shoufu Lord's mansion, so that his old man knew about this matter as soon as possible, and then whether it was a cabinet discussion or a direct report to the saint, there would be room for maneuver. If you don't know the way, I'll send two of my men, one to take you to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and the other to take your men to the mansion of Lord Shoufu. ”

"Okay, that's it. Thanks bro. After Huang Mengjia thanked him, he led people through Chongwen Gate, and under the leadership of the people sent by Huang Garrison, the soldiers divided into two roads and ran to the Yamen of the Military Department and the Shoufu Mansion respectively.

The defenders on the city wall did not dare to speak sarcastically after seeing the Tartar heads with their own eyes, but just stood on the wall and watched with envy as the carriages full of heads passed one after another, and these heads were all white silver!

Huang Mengjia asked Huang Dang, the deputy of the special combat team, to take the head to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and he went straight to the mansion of the first assistant Wen Tiren under the leadership of the people sent by the Huang garrison of the Beijing camp.

It was not the right time for him to come, and Wen Tiren was still in Wenyuan Pavilion at this point. Wen Tiren clocks in very actively at work, goes out early and returns late, and the closer he is to the emperor, the more he can grasp the emperor's mentality and trends.

asked Wen Tiren where he was going in the gatehouse, and learned that Shoufu would only return home when he was usually unitary, and Huang Mengjia was very disappointed. The general asked himself to rush back to Tianjin with the dispatch order of the military department within three days, and the road had been delayed for more than a day, and it would take Wen Tiren half a day, and two days would have passed, how could he arrive within three days?

He was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask Menzi: "Can you go into the palace and deliver a message to Lord Shoufu so that he can come back early?" ”

Menzi stared at him like a fool, and sneered: "The old man has a lot of opportunities, and he is dealing with state affairs in the cabinet, how can he run back because of your words?" If you're in a hurry, go into the palace and find it yourself! ”

As the saying goes, "the prime minister's door is seven officials", the first assistant is similar to the prime minister's status, and even with the door in the house, he is quite angry, he looked at this tower-like man while talking, and slandered in his heart: Bai has grown such a big man, he doesn't understand the rules at all, and if he doesn't give the door bag, forget it, open his mouth and let the first assistant go back to the house, who do you think you are? He didn't even bother to ask who Huang Mengjia was. There are as many civil and military officials as a dog in Beijing, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit the Shoufu Mansion, and the governor and the chief soldier are also common, and a military general of this level cannot be ranked at all.

Huang Mengjia was invincible on the battlefield like a tiger, but when it came to the occasion to usher in the send-off, he felt constrained. He saw that Menzi was reluctant to bring words into the palace, and he could not enter the palace without being summoned, so he could only wait stupidly, wasting time in vain, anxious and angry, and went back and forth in the gatehouse.

A clever soldier quietly reminded him: "Captain, shouldn't you give some benefits so that the men will do things?" ”

Huang Mengjia suddenly woke up. The Han people all say that "money can make ghosts grind", and gave the yellow guard a gold leaf at the door of Chongwen, and the people were extremely enthusiastic, and they also took the initiative to send someone to be a guide.

He asked a few soldiers around him, "Do you have any silver on you?" ”

Several soldiers took out a few ingots of loose silver from their bodies, collected about ten taels, and handed them to him.

Huang Mengjia walked to the door, squeezed out a smile, handed over the silver, and said, "I left in a hurry, I didn't have much silver on me, please help, I really have something very important to ask to see Shoufu." ”

Menzi weighed it, and there were almost ten taels of broken silver, which was a lot, and he immediately smiled. He put away the money and asked, "This military master is the head of that battalion, what position is he in, what is the matter with finding the first assistant?" ”

"I am the general manager of Qionghai Town, surnamed Huang, and I came to Shoufu to ask him to move the emperor to transfer the soldiers in Tianjin......"

"Qionghai Town?" Menzi was stunned, and then stood up, "But Qionghai Town over there in Guangdong? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Huang Mengjia was a little speechless, you didn't ask just now, your eyes are looking at the sky.

Menzi was a little flustered. The lord once repeatedly told that whenever someone came to look for him in Qionghai Town, Guangdong, he must pass it on as soon as possible, even if he was on duty in the palace, he must inform him in time, and whoever wants to delay things will be swept out of the house with a board.
