Chapter 324: Straight to the Gu Family (2)
On one side of the hall, there was also a woman playing the harp, apparently invited to play music. In front of her, there is a quaint arc piano. When Zhang Zhun looked at the past for the first time, he didn't think there was anything special about this woman, but after his eyes moved, he turned back. It turns out that this woman is still a little special. The biggest special thing is that she is not afraid of Zhang Zhun.
In such a tense situation, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, she is a weak woman, and she did not have the slightest panic, but stared at Zhang Zhun with shining eyes. For a woman, this is very abnormal. In fact, when Zhang Zhun and the others broke in, the Gu family's family members were already in a panic. Zhang Zhun walked all the way, and at least ten guests broke cups and the like. The sound of tinkling is endless.
Of course, this woman's beauty is also a reason for Zhang Zhun's concern. At this banquet, there were many women dressed in fancy clothes, but none of them entered Zhang Zhun's eyes. But the woman in front of her, who didn't apply fat powder, retained Zhang Zhun's eyes. His eyes had actually slid over her, but he was pulled back, which showed her attractiveness.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Liu Ruye. She is wearing green clothes, her body is delicate and slender, her skin is as crystal soft as ice and snow, her appearance is also extremely beautiful, her long black hair is as smooth as satin floating behind her head, under the crescent-like willow eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes are as bright as the stars in the night sky, her nose is exquisite, and her cherry lips are red, reflecting the small beauty mole at the corner of her lips, making her reveal a touch of charm in the delicate room.
Seeing Zhang Zhun break into the hall, the old man of the Gu family and the officials next to him had to stand up, staring at Zhang Zhun with some horror and some suspicion. They also stared at Zhang Zhun with bright eyes, trying to identify who Zhang Zhun was. But, alas, they can't. Because, it is impossible for them to know Zhang Zhun at all.
Zhang Zhun arched his hand to the surroundings in a chic manner, and said indifferently: "Don't panic, everyone. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and I came to the Gu family to settle a public case. As long as the others don't interfere, I guarantee that you are safe and sound. ”
The surrounding guests are a little relieved. The other party is coming at the Gu family, and there is really no need for him to interfere. However, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army brought by Zhang Zhun stood there with fierce expressions, staring at them fiercely, which made them deeply uneasy. What's even worse is that there are bayonets on top of the muskets. The bright bayonet obviously frightened many female dependents. They couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The people who lead the troops are all murderers, God knows what he says, is there any credibility?
Old Man Gu also looked uncertain, and he stopped talking. Today is his 60th birthday, and on the ground of Zhenjiang Mansion, as long as there are people with heads and faces, they have basically arrived. I thought I could hold a birthday banquet in a beautiful way, but I didn't expect to be approached by Zhang Zhun, a bad star. Now, what he is most worried about is not that his birthday banquet will be disturbed, but that he is worried about whether the Gu family will cause any disaster. Looking at Zhang Zhun's appearance, it seems that he has some deep hatred with the Gu family. I'm afraid of today's events, and it's hard to give up.
The civil official beside him straightened up and said to Zhang Zhun in a deep voice: "Where are you the military attache stationed?" Why did you bring troops here? ”
Zhang Zhun squinted at him and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”
The civil official said proudly: "This mansion is the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded indifferently and said casually: "This matter has nothing to do with you." ”
The prefect suddenly blushed with anger and his neck was thick, and he couldn't help but have a seizure on the spot. He is the dignified prefect of Zhenjiang Mansion, on the ground of Zhenjiang, who dares not to give him face? The entire Zhenjiang Mansion is to respect him. When others saw him, they had to respectfully call him "Fuzun", instead of calling an adult casually. What is Fuzun? Only the lord of a mansion can be called a mansion!
Zhang Zhun not only called the mansion respectfully, but even called the adult with a perfunctory surname, but said casually like sending an irrelevant person: "This matter has nothing to do with you." "I don't take him seriously at all! In Zhang Zhun's eyes, he is a real passerby. Civil officials love face the most, Zhang Zhun has such an attitude, how can he stand it?
The adults in Nanjing, although they say that their grades are above him, but he is the prefect appointed by Yanjing, and if he really wants to be ruthless, he can completely ignore the officials in Nanjing and do his own thing. As long as there is the support of the adults in Yanjing, the adults in Nanjing will not dare to do anything to him. In fact, since he took office in Zhenjiang Mansion, he has not been bumped into like this.
Fortunately, the prefect's anger turned to anger, and he had not completely lost his mind. Seeing that Zhang Zhun was menacing, a rude and rude martial artist, with a group of fierce soldiers around him, he swallowed his saliva hard and told himself not to be like Zhang Zhun. He said slowly, "You...... This house is the prefect, and when you see this house, you should see it, and you must not be rude. ”
Zhang Zhun glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Shall I see you?" Or do you come to me? ”
The prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture trembled with anger, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and unceremoniously pointed at Zhang Zhun and said, "You! You are simply lawless, lawless! You are so rude in front of this house! ”
Zhang Zhun took out a Flying Tiger bronze medal from his arms, threw it in front of him, and said coldly: "Look at who I am?" ”
The prefect picked up the bronze medal of the Flying Tiger, and after a closer look, his face became very strange, as if he was about to faint. Two small eyes, staring at the bronze medal in their hands, as if they were looking at a monster. After a while, he slowly came to his senses and said with difficulty: "Zhang Zhun? Aoshanwei ...... Commander of the Guard? Are you from Shandong Dusi? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them looked at each other.
The people of Shandong Dusi actually ran to the ground of Zhenjiang Mansion to spread wildness...... For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a strange thing! No wonder no one here knows Zhang Zhun, it turns out that he came from Shandong! God, today's events are getting more and more bizarre! The people of the Gu family, when did they offend the big people in Shandong?
Even the people of the Gu family were at a loss. Their business does extend to the ground in Shandong, but it is only limited to the two banks of the canal, such as Linqing, Jining, Dezhou, Liaocheng, and Dongping, and has nothing to do with Aoshanwei! Ao Shanwei is in Laizhou Mansion, far away from both sides of the canal. The Gu family's business network has not extended to Laizhou Mansion at all, how can it be possible to have a grudge with Ao Shanwei? The Gu family couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Zhun was in the wrong place.
Zhang Youcai shouted: "Since you know the identity of my family, you still don't salute us?" ”
The prefect's face was very strange, blue and white, and he was a little overwhelmed with the bronze medal of the Flying Tiger. However, one thing is certain, and that is that he refused to salute. He is the dignified prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture in Nanzhili, and he saluted an envoy of the guard commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, how is this possible?
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What's your name?" ”
The prefect said proudly: "Zou Renzeng of this house." ”
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I think you are hateful!" ”
Zou Renzeng wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, but felt the huge pressure brought by Zhang Zhun. The reason is simple, he felt the murderous aura. Surrounded by soldiers brought by Zhang Zhun, unless he is a fool, he will not feel the presence of murderous aura.
Zhang Zhun is the guard commander of the third grade, and Zou Renzeng is only the prefect of the fourth grade, so it stands to reason that he should indeed salute Zhang Zhun first. After all, Zhang Zhun's grade was there, two grades higher than him. However, the Ming Dynasty has always used literature to control military force, especially after the Tumubao Incident. The status of civil officials is getting higher and higher, but the status of military attaches is getting lower and lower. Up to now, the chief military officer of Zhengyipin is not as good as a small soldier. Positions such as the secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department can only be held by civilian officials.
The commander of the guard of the third rank, in the eyes of the prefect of the fourth rank, is just a martial artist who does not enter the stream. Even if it is the chief military officer of Zhengyipin, Zou Renzeng will not take the other party in his eyes. In the current Ming Dynasty, there are chief military officers everywhere, and no one has taken it seriously for a long time. asked him to salute Zhang Zhun in front of so many people, and don't say that he can't get over his face, if he is known in the future, he won't be able to raise his head in front of other civil officials.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What? You, a fourth-grade official, see that I, a third-grade official, are so disrespectful, do you want to eat some boards? Someone! Drag the prefect down and hit the twenty boards fiercely! ”
Zou Renzeng gritted his teeth and said: "You are a person from the Shandong Dusi, I am the official of Nanzhili, we are not subordinate to each other, I don't need to salute you." You have left your post without permission, and you should be the one who will be convicted! ”
Zhang Zhun threw out a bronze medal again and said coldly: "Look at this again." ”
Zou Renzeng picked up the bronze medal and looked at it carefully, his face became even more ugly.
It turned out that Zhang Zhun's bronze medal was a token of the Laizhou guerrillas. Official positions such as general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas, although they are given local names in front of them, are in fact common throughout the country. In other words, wherever they went, the government would help. He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao and others, who were in charge of suppressing the rebel army, were all chief military officers at the border gates, and in fact, they ran all over the country.
What's even worse is that these official positions themselves have no grade, and the real grade depends on the grade of the official's actual position. For example, Zhang Zhun is the commander of the Aoshan Guard of Zheng Sanpin, which is a real job. Therefore, Zhang Zhun is now a Laizhou guerrilla of Zhengsanpin. If Zhang Zhun becomes the commander of the capital, the commander of the same knowledge, and the commander of affairs, then the level of this guerrilla will continue to rise.
Zou Renzeng still had a hard mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "You are not stationed in Shandong, what do you want when you come to Zhenjiang Mansion?" Do you have a text for Shandong Dusi? Is there a survey of the Nanzhili Military Department? ”
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I'm here to track down the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect, I suspect that the Gu family has hidden the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect!" As the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, you are lurking here by the remnants of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and you don't know anything about it, but instead you drink and listen to music with the remnants of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and you are in the same stream. With this sin of negligence, I can take you! ”
Zou Renzeng had no choice but to bend down and salute, and said with difficulty: "The lowly Zou Renzeng sees the adult." ”
Things got to this point, and Zou Renzeng had to give in. If he continues to be tough, Zhang Zhun can cut off his head at any time with the big crime of colluding with the remnants of the Xiangxiang Sect. The Wenxiang Sect has always been a big problem for the imperial court, and as long as it is caught, it will definitely be executed. If it is found that some officials are colluding with the Smell Fragrance Sect, they will also be executed. Even, a little more cruel, the whole family was beheaded.
Is there any remnant of the incense sect in Jiangnan? I don't know. Did the Gu family smell the remnants of the incense sect? I don't know. However, it doesn't matter, as long as the head falls to the ground, this crime can be safely pressed. The prefect of the fourth grade, the person who colluded with the incense sect, should he be killed? Of course it should be killed! In fact, military generals do have such power, and they can cut first and then play.
It's just that the civil officials of the imperial court are powerful, and the prestige of the military generals has been completely curbed, and there has never been a military general who dares to defy the condemnation of the world and really kill the civil officials. If they really do this, what awaits him will inevitably be a joint attack from the civilian clique. In front of the powerful civilian-bureaucratic group, the final fate of this military general is also very tragic.
However, unfortunately, what Zou Renzeng encountered was Zhang Zhun. Never play cards according to common sense. Zhang Zhun was not afraid of the retaliation of the civilian clique at all. Because of Ruan Dacheng's relationship, he was already in a relationship with the civilian official group, and he didn't care about killing a few more civilian officials.
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said coldly: "No courtesy!" ”
Zou Renzeng is not sitting or not sitting, it is really embarrassing.
He is the dignified prefect of Zhenjiang Mansion, the supreme of a mansion, but he was forced to be pressed by Zhang Zhun, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. He made up his mind that after he returned, he would immediately write a sharp-tongued piece to impeach this Zhang Zhun to death. Running from Shandong to Jiangnan to spread wilderness, no matter what your purpose is, is a big crime.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You stand aside." This is my case with the Gu family, and I don't need you to interfere. ”
Although Zou Renzeng was unwilling, he always had a breath in his throat, but he had no choice but to stand beside him, and his embarrassed expression became even more intense. He found that the eyes of countless guests fell on him, and among them, there was no lack of contempt. He really wanted to find a hole in the ground and go down. Shame, shame, shame! Later, let other colleagues know that they had to be laughed to death. However, for the sake of his own life, does he have a better choice?
