Chapter 131 The Terrible Desire for Revenge
If you say that the master was really good to Jiang Qingzhi, the house he rewarded him with may seem inconspicuous, but it is very real inside.
After living there for a while, Jiang Qingzhi, a country bumpkin from later generations, realized that the materials used in this house were extremely solid, the large logs were of good quality, and the workmanship was even better.
Moreover, the house occupies an area that is unmatched in the west of the city.
Jiang Qingzhi set up a small training ground at home. In the early morning of the next day, he stood outside the row of houses where the guards lived.
Sun Chonglou and Dou Jialan were behind him, like two generals.
Sun Bu Tong smiled widely, "Uncle, this is going to be..."
"Have you heard of a night attack?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile.
Sun Bu Tong had a bad feeling in his heart: "..."
"Kick the door and wake them up. If they don't come out after 20 seconds, their breakfast will be halved."
Fucheng was staring at Sun Bu Tong not far away.
Almost as soon as Jiang Qingzhi finished speaking, Sun Bu Tong rushed over.
Bah!
He kicked the door open and then started beating him severely.
"Damn it, someone touched me and I'm still not awake..."
Fu Cheng came over and whispered, "How did Master Bo find such a wonderful person?"
"You also think this person is wonderful?"
"Wonderful."
More than a dozen people were kicked out and saw Jiang Qingzhi and others standing outside in the fog. Someone asked in confusion, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"From today on, you are members of the Jiang family." Jiang Qingzhi said.
According to Emperor Jiajing's character, once you enter the Jiang family's gate, if anyone dares to say that he is not willing to serve you, he will make you face life or death.
Of course, before that, Mr. Jiang will make you disappear from the spot.
"The monthly salary is lower than that of the palace guards."
Hey!
Not bad!
The guards exchanged glances, somewhat surprised.
"If you do well, you will get a big bonus at the end of the year."
The guards became even happier and felt they had come to the right place.
"But if someone takes my money and eats my food...if he is not dedicated!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
"Don't worry, uncle!"
"We will certainly serve you!"
Everyone agreed at once.
"Look at you sons of bitches, how are you standing? Are you guards? You are just a bunch of guerrillas, and you think you deserve a high salary!"
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly roared, "Run!"
Everyone was confused by the scolding.
Sun Bu Tong once again understood the spirit of the patriarch and cursed, "Everyone run."
Everyone followed Sun Bu Tong lazily while doing exercises.
"For the last three people, breakfast will be cut in half."
Sun Chonglou said, "Your Majesty approves of the Jiang family's food."
Hey!
Suddenly the team was in chaos.
"Be more neat!" Sun Bu Tong shouted, then gave Jiang Qingzhi a flattering smile.
"Old Sun, be serious. There's no need to please anyone here." Jiang Qingzhi said.
He didn't know that his casual words "no need to please" would cause ripples in Sun Bu Tong's heart.
No one is a cheap person who likes to please others.
Behind every flattering face, there are various reasons for being helpless.
"start running!"
Sun Bu Tong sped up.
"Let's practice too." Fucheng said.
When Sun Chonglou saw Dou Jialan practicing alone, he said, "I'll help you."
Dou Jialan sneered, "Do I care?"
"Then who are you looking for?" Sun Chonglou grinned.
"Uncle." Dou Jialan asked the boss for advice.
After just two rounds, Jiang Qingzhi was no longer able to defend himself.
Hey!
"Pause." Jiang Qingzhi rubbed his sore wrist, feeling sorry that he really had no talent for martial arts.
But looking at the guards who were running as miserably as dogs, he felt that it was not bad to be protected by someone.
Running exercise is over.
The guards were full of complaints.
In the morning light, Jiang Qingzhi took out a picture.
The sky was still not clear and it was a little hard to see.
Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand and everyone gathered around.
Sun Chonglou held a lantern to illuminate the picture.
There are muscles and bones drawn on it...
Damn!
Why does it look so familiar?
Isn't this a human skeleton?
More than ten people were startled.
"This is a diagram of the human body. From today on, I will teach you the secret techniques of killing people!"
Jiang Qingzhi once captured special personnel from the United States, and with great interest interrogated them about their training process. He then taught it to the elite troops under his command and learned some himself.
"If you encounter an enemy right in front of you, you have to stab upward diagonally from here. See... this is the stomach. Insert the tip of the knife into the stomach and pull it out... the gastric fluid and undigested food in the stomach will come out. Even if the wound is not deep, the chyme will cause infection. At this point, you can only wait to die!"
In an era before surgery, this level of injury would have been fatal.
What the hell!
The guards looked up at Jiang Qingzhi.
The boss actually has such a secret skill?
"Isn't this...isn't this a family heirloom worth a fortune?"
"My uncle actually taught it to us."
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly put away the stick and said, "I'll ask you one last time. Anyone who doesn't want to stay can leave now and pretend that they have never been here."
The sixteen looked at each other.
One person raised his hand and walked out.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, I can't bear this kind of suffering."
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "No problem, let's part ways in peace. Go slowly."
The man took his leave, walked out of the Jiang family's gate, and quickened his pace.
The entrance to the alley was in front of us. The morning light made the entrance a little blurry, but it was bright outside as if it were daytime.
The sound of dogs barking could be heard from the houses on both sides.
The man suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He accelerated and ran without hesitation. "The kid is really smart!"
The man dodged quickly, but a somewhat dry hand grabbed the back of his neck like lightning.
"No!"
The hand tightened and the man's eyes went dark.
When I woke up again, I was in the utility room.
"Tell me, who do you belong to?"
"You are... the butler."
Fu Cheng said sinisterly: "Do you really think that Master Bo is easy to bully?"
The man shuddered all over.
"The master first used the secret technique to seduce you, and then threatened and tolerated you. The master said that if there were other spies, they would definitely resign at this moment with various reasons."
This person looked grim.
"Say!"
Fu Cheng sneered.
Later, Fucheng went to the small training ground.
Jiang Qingzhi was giving a lecture, and Sun Chonglou stood in front of him as a model. Jiang Qingzhi poked his waist with his hand from behind.
"If you kill someone from behind, remember to insert the knife from this angle. Generally speaking, if the knife is inserted here, the person will definitely not be able to scream. But be careful and cover his mouth."
Dou Jialan shuddered beside him, "Is Uncle going to teach a bunch of demons?"
"I am the devil." Sun Chonglou said, "This is what the young master said."
Jiang Qingzhi saw Fucheng and said, "Review it yourself and ask if you don't understand it later."
He walked over, and the guards behind him began to discuss in a buzz.
"What Uncle taught are all killer moves that can be passed down to children and grandchildren."
"This knife should be cut from the kidney. Behind the gap of the sternum is the heart..."
"These can all be heirlooms, which shows that the master treats us well." Sun Bu Tong looked at everyone, "If anyone has second thoughts, I will skin him alive. All the men in the family will become slaves and the women will become prostitutes!"
Sun Bu Tong at this moment did not look the least bit flattering.
The guards responded solemnly.
"Master." Fu Cheng approached, "The man confessed that he was from the Queen Mother's family."
"Which queen mother... Are you talking about Zhang?" Jiang Qingzhi was stunned. Seeing Fu Cheng nod meaningfully, he couldn't help but curse: "What a huge grudge this is!"
"The two brothers of that man were tortured by Your Majesty and were miserable. They were probably thinking of killing Your Majesty before they died. Now that I think about it, one of the important reasons why Your Majesty moved to the West Garden was that he was worried about the people that Empress Dowager Zhang had planted in the palace."
Fu Cheng had been in the palace for many years and spoke very well. "This person said that if he could be selected as a guard, he would look for an opportunity..." He put his right fingers together like a knife and swung them down fiercely.
Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe teamed up to suppress Emperor Jiajing. After years of fighting, Yang Tinghe retired and Empress Dowager Zhang was defeated. Unfortunately, her two brothers were useless and did all kinds of bad things, which were used by Emperor Jiajing. Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to make peace, but it was too late.
This woman who enjoyed endless glory and favor throughout her life had a miserable old age.
A woman's vengeful heart!
Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Dou Jialan, who was stunned and felt a chill down his spine for no apparent reason.
"Should we hand it over to His Majesty?" Fu Cheng asked, but he obviously disagreed.
If he handed it over to Emperor Jiajing, Jiang Qingzhi would be dragged into the grievances of the past, which was an unwise move.
"Leave it to the palace!" Jiang Qingzhi said without hesitation.
Fu Cheng hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, after all..."
"Lao Fu, I know your concerns." Jiang Qingzhi said, "In my heart, I am just an ordinary person. If someone treats me well, I will return the favor. Your Majesty is really good to me."
"Yes." Fucheng accepted the order.
"Why, are you disappointed?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"I used to be very alert when I was sleeping at night, and I would be awakened by the slightest noise. But since I followed Master Bo, I can sleep until the hour." Fu Cheng said, "If I followed a master like Yan Song who only cares about profit, I might seem to have a good life, but I would have trouble sleeping at night."
This angle is interesting.
With fifteen more big men attending breakfast, the Jiang family's cook was very busy, but he was particularly happy.
"As the population grows, the Bo Mansion will become more prosperous."
The cook used all his skills and sure enough, the guards were all smiling while having breakfast.
"It's more delicious than the ones in the palace."
In the palace, Emperor Jiajing was silent for a long time after learning about the secret plan.
"Women, it's better to stay within your proper place!"
He stood up. "If it were someone else, they would probably turn a blind eye and not dare to get involved in the conflicts and secrets in the palace. But Qingzhi chose to confess to me without hesitation..."
Huang Jin said, "Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that someone said that Long Wei Bo was smuggling live cattle... Today he is smuggling live cattle, but tomorrow who knows what he will smuggle."
"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing did not comment.
After a while, he asked, "How does the beef taste?"
Huang Jin was startled, "It is said to be delicious."
……
After breakfast, Jia Qian, who was in charge of the business, asked to see him.
The last time he was interrogated by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Jia Qian actually withstood the pressure and took the responsibility of the smuggling, which made Jiang Qingzhi look at him with new eyes.
"Old Jia, the uncle wants you to come in."
Sun Chonglou patted Jia Qian on the shoulder and said, "What a man!"
"You're too kind." Jia Qian knew that the man in front of him was someone the boss could use, and it was no exaggeration to call him a brother. Hearing him say that he was a real man, Jia Qian couldn't help but feel very happy.
In the study, Jiang Qingzhi was reading a book.
"I've met my uncle."
"Old Jia!" Jiang Qingzhi nodded.
Someone brought him some tea, and Jia Qian said with a smile, "How dare I!"
"Drink it!" Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile.
After taking a sip of tea, Jia Qian said, "Yesterday, all the merchants who smuggled beef in Beijing gathered together, and they all said that our business was getting bigger and bigger, and they didn't care about other people's lives."
Ever since he was reported for smuggling last time, Jiang Qingzhi ordered Jia Qian to intensify his smuggling efforts.
"What do they want to do?"
……
In a restaurant in the capital.
Dozens of people are discussing matters.
"Let Jiang Qingzhi give up part of the business." A middle-aged man in a brocade robe said while playing with a ring.
"That's right. If he won't let us, we'll attack together."
"Damn it, even if the masters behind us join together, are they still afraid of him?"
Someone glanced at this person and said, "Are you trying to show your loyalty to Prime Minister Yan?"
Everyone sneered, and someone said, "Jiang Qingzhi is too overbearing in his business. Are we going to let him kill us all?"
"Someone has already taken action." The man in brocade robe said, "It's not my house, so you don't have to stare at me."
"Who is that?"
The man in brocade robe said calmly: "Jiang Qingzhi is involved in too many things. He is in the wrong place. Someone wants to deal with him."
He looked at the crowd and said slowly, "These people are all over the world. What we have to do is... beat them up when they are down!"
