Chapter 688 It's New Year's Eve Again
"Brother, if I scratch my face, I will poison the weapon and let him guard it. As long as I lean in front of me and stab it with one knife, I will definitely die. I will not leave a living mouth for others. At that time, I will be done...
.” Lei Cai said firmly.
Zhao Jin said with a gloomy face: "Didn't you hear what I said just now? Your life is more valuable than Ma Chonghao. If he dies, maybe there are people behind him who will continue to cause trouble for us. If you die, where will I go again.
Looking for a thunderbolt?"
Lei Cai gritted his teeth, kowtowed directly, and said, "Brother, I said that I was not to show my loyalty, but to the truth. With such a big situation in my hands, I can't help too much.
Be busy, that is, be careful and careful, but Ma Chonghao is our Zhao Ying, and he is the biggest concern of the eldest brother. It’s useless, but he has a life to use it.”
Zhao Jin shook his head, stepped forward and grabbed Lei Cai's shoulder, pulled the person up directly. After pulling it up, he slapped his hands on Lei Cai's arm and said in a stern voice: "I asked Niu Jinbao if he was sure that day, he said he was not enough.
50%, then I will get rid of this idea. Now, I want to see what the situation Ma Chonghao has set up, how to deal with us, and even how people from inside and outside deal with this.
What, what are you going to do? I'm using you just to kill someone?"
"Brother, we can't be careless. If he really takes advantage of the loopholes, our great situation will probably be over."
"I will only tell you this. We have been so happy in the past few years, too idle, and we have made a lot of money everywhere. The group of servants has not seen any blood except for drills. From me to everyone, we should go through a test. I think
Try it, I want to see it."
"Brother, it's you who told your brothers not to be careless, not to treat these things as jokes, and not to bet!" Lei Cai spoke sincerely and wanted to kneel down again while speaking, but his body was thin and short, and he was firmly grasped by Zhao Jin.
, can't move at all.
Zhao Jin stared at Lei Cai and said, "It's right to be cautious, but you also have to know our capital. We can bet, let alone this is not a bankrupt bet. Now try it, and you can see how many people are with us.
, so as not to dare to follow us when we really make a heavy bet."
"Brother..."
"Don't tell others about this, and don't be smart enough to kill Ma Chonghao. I have my own arrangements. Do you understand?" Zhao Jin's words were extremely serious.
Lei Cai stared at Zhao Jin for a while, nodded slowly, and replied solemnly: "Please don't worry, since you don't allow me, I won't do it."
"Leizi, we are still long. We still have to live for a long time at this age. We have to do a lot of things. Don't talk about life and death rashly. Do you understand?" Zhao Jin said in a slowdown and Lei Cai nodded vigorously.
The secret talk in the room can be said to be thrilling, but after that, Lei Cai did not take a breath and relax, nor did he stay for the New Year, but rushed back to Nanjing without stopping. Two young men from the inner guard set off one later than Lei Cai
Time, their destination is also Nanjing, and the task is to keep a close eye on Leicai and don’t let him do anything impulsive.
"This is given by Lei Zi. Look at the bright colors of the stones used, it is said to be a specialty of Nanjing, not too big." After sending Lei Cai away and arranging the person he followed, Zhao Jin returned to his home and put a finger on his belly.
A stone tiger of all sizes is placed on the head of the bed.
"It looks so exquisite, my uncle is very considerate." Xu Zhenzhen said with a smile. Liu Yong and Lei Cai were both "uncle" in Xu Zhenzhen's mouth.
"This thing is to eliminate evil and protect others, and to seek children." Zhao Jin said casually.
Xu Zhenzhen put the red stone tiger in her palm and looked at it with a smile, saying, "Now, from my parents-in-law, to the uncles below, to so many people under her, I hope that I will give birth to a husband as my husband.
If your son is still a girl, even if your husband refuses, everyone will force you to take a concubine..."
This is a joke between husband and wife. After saying it, no matter Zhao Jin laughs out loud or is anxious, Xu Zhenzhen will always make him laugh. Zhao Jin will respond every time, but this time Zhao Jin did not speak out. Xu Zhenzhen was a little surprised.
Moving away from the tiger eagle, I found Zhao Jin in a daze and distracted place, as if he was thinking about something.
"Husband? Husband?" Xu Zhenzhen asked a few words, and Zhao Jin shook his head before coming to his senses.
It is rare to see Zhao Jin being distracted like this, Xu Zhenzhen asked curiously again: "What are you thinking about, husband?"
Zhao Jin was silent for a while before speaking, "I just said a few words to Lei Zi, and this sentence convinced Lei Zi, but I don't believe these words very much... Now, one is that I can't move, and the other is
Too early...the risk of being one minute earlier...but moving early is not a bad thing."
The words were very incoherent and spoke intermittently. Xu Zhenzhen listened carefully and was a little confused. After Zhao Jin stopped for a long time, he realized that Zhao Jin had finished speaking. Xu Zhenzhen covered her mouth and laughed.
This laughter made Zhao Jin react again from the out-of-sight. He looked at Xu Zhenzhen curiously. Xu Zhenzhen chuckled and said, "You are here to ask me what this kind of woman is doing? Go and discuss with my second and third uncles, go
Ask your father-in-law.”
Zhao Jin reached out and patted his forehead, smiled, stood up and waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking too much, thinking left, I'll ask now."
If nothing big happens, Chen Sheng and Wang Zhaojing will definitely be in Xuzhou and stay with Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin returned to the conference hall, and not long after, the two of them rushed over.
"Lei Zi came over and talked about Ma Chonghao's movements. Now, the possibility of Ma Chonghao's targeting us is getting bigger and bigger. I have a few things that I can't make up for. We can't move now, and we still have to accumulate strength.
Prepare, moving too early and risky, but being so unmoved will make many people unable to understand the situation. What do you think?" Zhao Jin said slowly.
Lei Cai and what he reported to Lei Cai, and what he said to Lei Cai just now, would not tell his brothers directly, because there were too many inconveniences.
These words surprised Chen Sheng and Wang Zhaojing and looked at each other. Since the rise of Zhao's name camp, everything has been decided by Zhao Jin. Everyone has become accustomed to his correctness and obey his command. Today, Zhao Jin asked.
Such a problem is indeed different from usual.
Chen Sheng quickly reacted and said in a solemn voice: "What else do you have to do now? At this point, are we still thinking about looking back?"
This stern question made Zhao Jin smile, and Chen Sheng said again: "I have no idea. I only know what to do now can only do to the end."
Zhao Jin nodded slowly, but Wang Zhaojing did not express his opinion immediately. Seeing that no one said anything, he said slowly: "Young brother can guess what I mean. Are you worried that we will be caught off guard by the time being?"
"Brother, I'll ask, if the matter is coming, is there any possibility that we will remain unmoved?" Wang Zhaojing paused and asked again.
"If we don't move at that time, we will become fish that can be slaughtered." Zhao Jin replied.
"That's it. If we can't make a decision and move later, we have no other choice but to move. What else can I hesitate to do? It's just to be prepared as much as possible before moving!" Wang Zhaojing said.
Zhao Jin was silent for a while there, shook his head and laughed, "Your words are the same as if they weren't."
"It's already at this point, and it's useless to say these words." Chen Sheng was still very rude.
However, Wang Zhaojing also smiled and said, "Brother, I will write a letter to ask my father about these questions. My father is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He has been considering us for many years. Perhaps there may be a more appropriate way."
Zhao Jin nodded. Chen Sheng has always been a very opinionated person. He was educated by his grandfather since he was a child. Then he worked hard with Zhao Jin. He thought and judged when doing things, while Wang Zhaojing always followed his father's wishes. Even if you give up fame and honor and follow Zhao Jin on the imperial examination, this is still Wang Youshan's tacit approval. After all, for Wang Zhaojing, Wang Youshan is too tall.
"The New Year is coming soon." Zhao Jin said in a daze.
***************
In the 47th year of Wanli, many people in the Ming Dynasty had a very bad life. The people in the court were suffering because of the Liaodong border affairs, and the people in the world suffered from the Liao pay and the two additional levies. However, for the noble families in Jiangnan, they came. It is said that there is no impact. Most of them have fame and fortune. There is no need to worry about the collection of Liaobao to their own businesses. Their wealth is all about business and trade, and it has nothing to do with the year. This time, the Spring Festival is leisure and carnival as usual.
Compared with most wealthy people in Jiangnan, Ma Chonghao, the powerful commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei, lived a very deserted life. His family is said to have returned to the capital. Naturally, no one in Nanjing would pay special attention to Ma Chonghao. Where did the family go? Many Nanjing natives in the Jinyiwei are secretly gloating about Ma Chonghao's deserted New Year.
Although he was not with his family, Ma Chonghao did not live alone this year. The kitchen of a restaurant by the Qinhuai River was unable to go back to celebrate the New Year. Instead, he brought helpers and materials to Ma Chonghao's residence. To hold a banquet, "Madutang" wanted to entertain old subordinates from the north.
There are three tables in the main hall, and nearly forty people sit around the table. Everyone is wearing casual clothes. These guests are in their thirties and forties. None of them is fat and bloated. Each exudes a fierce spirit and has a pile of weapons. At the door, you can get it at any time. The one who serves the food was the helper in the restaurant. When he brought the food into the house for the first time, he was stared at by the group of people. He was so scared that he couldn't stand steadily. The wooden plate was turned over to the ground, the porcelain plate was crushed, and the cold dishes were scattered all over the floor, causing the room to burst into laughter.
"At that time, I just felt that my hair was standing up all over my body, just like when I was a child, I met a wolf in the wilderness..." The guy with cold sweats explained to his companions.
According to the rules of the Jinyiwei, in addition to their own servants, senior officials in the personal army, must also serve the Jinyiwei men. Ma Chonghao has never believed in these local natives in Nanjing. They even had the yard. I can't get in, so I only watch in front and behind the yard.
