Chapter 323: Going straight into the Gu family (1)

Unfortunately, the power of Jiangnan is complex, intricate and deeply rooted. It is not easy for me to control this place as an outsider? Jiangnan is also the Donglin Party and the base camp of the Fushe. They are both representatives of scholars and representatives of interest groups. They cannot willingly hand over their wealth. The power of these people is still quite huge and has enough influence in Jiangnan. To control Jiangnan, they must take extraordinary measures.

The Gu family in Zhenjiang is a distance from the pier.

To deal with a small family, Zhang Zhun certainly did not need to be fully armed. No matter how many armed servants of the Gu family were, they were not as many as those of the Jiangyin Inspection Department. Therefore, Zhang Zhun decided to leave two sailors in Fang He and Liu Dong, stay on the ship, guarding supplies, and prevent accidents. Zhang Zhun himself led other troops to march towards the Gu family in a swagger.

Zhang Youcai led his troops to lead the way, blocking the surrounding areas of the Gu family, and reconnaissing the general situation. He soon sent someone to send a message: "Sir, today is the 60th birthday of the Gu family, and there are many guests. Local figures in Zhenjiang are all in the Gu family. The prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture is also among them, and officials from the Cao Transport Pier are also among them."

Zhang Zhun nodded in surprise. Unexpectedly, he came so rashly that he was even more up to someone else's 60th birthday. These days, there are not many people who can live to be sixty years old. No wonder the Gu family is so lively. However, so many people are in the Gu family, just in time. What he wants is this effect. From today on, all the wealthy families in Jiangnan must know that Zhang Zhun exists.

"Drag Liao Dake up."

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

Zhou Yanyu and others did as they did.

Liao Dake, who had been frozen to death, had a very strange posture, as if he was an evil ghost in the City God Temple, with green and purple all over his body, and his eyes were even more pointed. If he suddenly saw it, he would definitely be frightened. He threw it into the crowd and screamed together.

The group came to the door of the Gu family.

The Gu family is indeed one of the best families in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and the Gu family compound is one of the best buildings in the local area. The Gu family covers a very wide area and is much larger than the Qianhu houses in Fushan City. Even compared with the White House in Aoshan City, it is much more magnificent. At the same time, in a Jiangnan water town like Zhenjiang, the buildings are a bit more elegant, surrounded by green trees, and there are no dead branches and leaves. It is even more amazing to think that the Tartars will turn south in the future and become ruins.

Since it was the 60th birthday of the Gu family, there were many servants in front of the Gu family, and they were very lively. There were several servants in long gowns in the middle, who were responsible for greeting guests. When they found that an army was approaching, some servants hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Zhang Youcai said arrogantly: "Get out!"

After saying that, he pushed the servant away and rushed in with a swagger.

Of course, those servants were not opponents of the Hu Ben Army. Some servants hurriedly ran inside to report, while some servants tried to continue to stop them. The result was obvious. They were either knocked to the ground or caught on the spot. Finally, Zhang Zhun was already very proud of his face and fired directly without ordering.

Zhang Youcai and others broke in directly. Zhang Zhun followed behind and entered the Gu family with a swagger. On both sides of him were soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army like wolves and tigers. Entering the gate of the Gu family was an elegant courtyard with evergreen flowers and plants on both sides. At the end of the courtyard, there was a gate. The servants there tried to close the gate, but were stopped by Zhang Youcai and others.

Perhaps because of the report of someone coming, there were constant streams of servants coming out next to the courtyard. They were holding wooden sticks, short knives and other things in their hands, and shouting in a lingering manner: "Who is it? How dare we break into our Gu family?"

These people all looked very fierce, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary servants, but guards and the like. Judging from their appearance, if ordinary people came to make trouble, they would come up to fight. However, when they saw the Hu Ben Army breaking in with muskets, they couldn't help but stop. Even so, these people did not disperse and continued to wander around.

A man who looked like a housekeeper appeared and stopped Zhang Zhun, saying in a panic and nervous manner: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing the Gu family?"

Zhang Youcai held the eagle-eyed gun and pressed the butler's head, and said coldly: "My lord is asking you Gu family leader for something. If you know what you know, get out of here."

The housekeeper had never seen such a situation. He had been frightened to his legs and said in a hurry: "Yes, yes, yes."

After saying that, he stepped back to the side obediently.

Zhang Youcai pushed open the door, and the sound of silk and bamboo were heard inside.

It was indeed a big scene. There was a larger courtyard inside. At the end of the courtyard was the hall of the Gu family. It was magnificent, bright and elegant. The banquet was placed from the hall of the Gu family to the courtyard outside, and it looked like there were hundreds of tables. According to the ten people per table, it was thousands of people. In addition to the service family, servants, etc., there were probably more than one thousand people. It was indeed a wealthy family!

At this time, the Gu family had already reported to their masters what was happening outside. The families brought by the guests inside also poured out from the small courtyards on both sides. However, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were staring at them with a fierce gun. These servants were more or less aware of the goods. They found that the Hu Ben Army was ready for battle, so they really did not dare to do anything randomly. The situation was temporarily controlled by the Hu Ben Army.

In the hall, the Gu family members who received the news were standing up to see what was going on. Obviously, they were quite angry and surprised at Zhang Zhun's trespass. Jiangnan has been in full swing for a long time and there are no bandits in normal times. Zhang Zhun suddenly came over and was still full of hostility. What exactly should he do?

Some guests also noticed something was wrong, but they didn't know what was going on, and were still laughing. In their opinion, the Gu family stood up one after another, and it was very likely that some big shots had arrived. After all, the Gu family and Nanjing were closely connected. Maybe Nanjing would send some big shots to congratulate the gifts on a whim. Some curious people raised their toes and looked at the door of the courtyard, eager to see what big shots were coming this time.

However, when Zhang Zhun appeared, no one could recognize him. What was even more surprising was that Zhang Zhun broke in with his army or an army he had never seen before. There seemed to be no soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who did not wear armor and only had gray cloth uniforms. However, looking at the fierce and evil look of these troops, even fools knew that Zhang Zhun was not good, and the kind would not come. On the 60th birthday of the Gu family, he brought the army to break in... No matter how stupid the person was, he realized that this matter was extraordinary.

In an instant, the sounds of silk and bamboo and the noisy sounds all stopped.

Everyone's eyes fell on the Hu Ben Army soldiers who suddenly broke in. When Zhang Zhun came in, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Zhun. No one knew what was going on. No one knew who Zhang Zhun was. Logically speaking, the guests here were all traveling around the world and people from all industries. However, they just didn't know Zhang Zhun. This is surprising.

The head of the Gu family is Gu Leiyan, who is a middle-aged man in his forties. Of course, Gu Leiyan was very angry about Zhang Zhun's invasion and felt that he had lost the Gu family's face. However, he was even more afraid, not knowing who he had offended, but at this time, he led his army into the Gu family. As the head of the family, he had to sort out his thoughts, calmly come to Zhang Zhun, bow his fists, and said in confusion: "You are..."

Zhang Zhun also hugged his fists and said deeply: "I'm here to celebrate the old man's birthday, it's too late."

Gu Leiyan said in confusion: "I dare to ask if it's the best..."

He found that Zhang Zhun was very young, probably less than twenty years old, so he naturally regarded Zhang Zhun as a person who came to run errands. The Governor's Office in Nanjing, the various garrisons in Jiangnan, and the grain directors in various wharfs, Gu Leiyan had some contacts, and rarely saw such young officers. Unless he was the son of a hero and powerful minister. He obviously regarded Zhang Zhun as a servant of a powerful man in Nanjing.

Zhang Zhun did not answer, but clapped his hands hard and said loudly: "Come on! Send the gift!"

Zhou Yanyu pushed Liao Dake into the courtyard and put it on the ground.

Liao Dake, who was stiff, shook like a tumbler on the ground, and then showed it in front of everyone in the strangest posture.

"ah!"

"dead!"

The nearby guests screamed.

Some timid female family members were already scared to death.

"Bang!"

There were also people's wine glasses that fell directly to the ground and were smashed to pieces.

Suddenly, there was a riot near Zhang Zhun, and the guests retreated one after another.

Liao Da is the inspector of the Jiangyin Inspection Department, so Gu Leiyan certainly knew him. He never expected that the other party would send such a gift. Seeing that Liao Dake was actually caught by Zhang Zhun and was frozen to death, Gu Leiyan felt his scalp start to numb. A bad feeling suddenly surged into his heart. He said in horror: "What are you...what are you going to do?"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Didn't I say it? I'm here to celebrate my birthday, this is a gift!"

Gu Leiyan changed color and said in surprise and angrily: "You!"

On the 60th birthday of the Gu family, Zhang Zhun actually sent such a gift. What kind of hatred does this require to make such a crazy move? What is even more terrifying is that Liao Dake's backstage is the eunuch in Nanjing! The number one figure in Nanzhili! Even the Minister of War and the Nanjing garrison minister dare not attack Liao Dake directly! Zhang Zhun actually freezes Liao Dake to death... Does he have a huge grudge against the eunuch in Nanjing?

Thinking of this, Gu Leiyan felt that his back was already full of cold sweat. The other party dared to directly provoke the eunuch in Nanjing. In the eyes of the other party, the little Gu family was not an ant? The Gu family has some assets, some connections in Nanjing, and is one of the best families in Zhenjiang Prefecture. However, compared with the powerful eunuch in Nanjing, it was simply a place in the sky and underground. If you accidentally, the Gu family would be wiped out today.

Zhang Zhun ignored Gu Leiyan's gray face, laughed, glanced around, and said loudly: "Who is Gu Linghai, Mr. Gu?"

No one answered.

Gu Leiyan's face looked even more ugly.

Even a fool could tell that the person Zhang Zhun was looking for was his eldest son Gu Linghai. While Gu Leiyan was feeling depressed, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party was looking for his eldest son directly, not the entire Gu family. As long as he did not anger the other party, the Gu family would not suffer the tragic disaster of the family. However, he couldn't figure out where his son offended the other party.

On the land in Jiangnan, everyone is more concerned about rules in doing things. Even if it is a huge grudge, money can solve the problem. Everyone is busy and intrigue, what will they get in the end? It’s not for money? Whether it’s the eunuch in Nanjing, the Minister of War, or the powerful ministers in Nanjing, as long as they have money, they are easy to talk to. It seems like Zhang Zhun, who has brought the army to the door, has never been there before.

Gu Leiyan hurriedly said, "I don't know where the dog offended Gui Shang. We are willing to apologize and be willing to apologize."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I'm sorry, your Gu family can't afford to pay this crime."

Gu Leiyan's face was decayed again.

There was no room for negotiation in the other party's tone.

Zhang Zhun didn't care about him and walked straight forward, while his eyes kept sweeping around.

There were thousands of guests today, and everyone's suspicious and terrified eyes also fell on Zhang Zhun. They couldn't understand why Zhang Zhun broke in with his army at this time and asked the name to trouble Gu Linghai, the eldest son of the Gu family. Fortunately, they only asked Gu Linghai, otherwise they would have to wet their pants. When did Jiangnan have such a situation in the past few decades? Even the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang arrested people, they were not so fierce.
