Chapter 72 King of Han
The middle-aged man's group of accomplices had ordinary martial arts skills, and they were subdued by Lin Hu and Nangong Shaoqing not long after. He turned around and saw that the middle-aged man and Murong Pu were still fighting. It seemed that the middle-aged man had good martial arts skills.
He was an unknown person, but Lin Hu and the others could see that this person's martial arts skills were not as good as Murong Pu's, and the latter had always been arrogant, so they did not step forward to help.
The middle-aged man originally saw Murong Pu's extravagant actions and thought he had met a "fat sheep", so he wanted to hold the three of them hostage to extort a sum of money. However, he did not expect that he encountered a hard fight. Now that he saw that his accomplices had been beaten, he could not stand alone.
He turned around and wanted to run away.
How could Murong Pu allow him to escape? He stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar and threw him backwards. This time, the middle-aged man fell hard, and his back seemed to be broken. Before he could react,
, Murong Pu had already stepped on his chest.
"Don't move, this time I want to see how hard your back is."
Almost at the same time, the patrol officers received the news and arrived. Lin Hu and Nangong Shaoqing immediately revealed their identities and explained the situation. Naturally, these officers believed them more, so they treated the middle-aged man as his own.
The gang was arrested, but the middle-aged man was still dissatisfied and sneered: "Don't be proud, you are in big trouble this time, we are the King of Han's people."
Hearing his last words, Lin Hu and the others were all shocked. Speaking of the current King of Han, there can only be one person, the famous Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of the current Emperor Yongle.
The world line that Lin Hu and the others are currently in is the period when Zhu Gaoxu was most favored, and even threatened the status of the current prince. He was extremely powerful, and Lin Hu and others also knew that Zhu Gaoxu always compared himself with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. In order to win the heir,
They raised a large number of dead soldiers, some of whom took advantage of the power of the King of Han to commit lawlessness, and the government did not dare to investigate further. Could it be that the three of them encountered it this time?
However, the three of them did not believe it too much at this time. They thought that maybe this middle-aged man was bragging. Not long after, the other party and his group were taken away by official officers. At first, the three of them thought that this was just a small episode. Unexpectedly, a few days later
Later, Lin Hu heard that a group of middle-aged people were acquitted. It seemed that someone from the Han Palace came to say hello. Lin Hu was also secretly surprised at the time. Could it be that he had offended the Han Palace unintentionally this time?
He had a vague feeling that the matter would not end here easily.
As expected, Zhang Neng, one of the commanders of Jinyiwei, found Lin Hu within a few days. Usually, any task arrangement on the peak is directly approached by each thousand households, and then they are responsible for the implementation. Therefore, the commander directly found Lin Hu.
There is something unusual about Baihu.
Sure enough, Zhang Neng found Lin Hu and said a few polite words first, and then asked: "Lin Hu, did you and Nangong beat up people from the Han Palace a few days ago?"
Lin Hu frowned when he heard this, thinking that trouble was coming soon? But it was not easy to deny this.
"It is indeed true, but we didn't know at the time that they were from the Han Palace, and they were the ones who caused the trouble in the first place."
Zhang Nengwen had a sinister smile on his face: "Don't worry, King Qiantui of Han Dynasty does not blame you for this matter. In fact, Lord Qiantui quite appreciates your and Nangong's skills. How about it? Are you interested in helping King of Han Dynasty?
Are you doing something? Don’t worry, I will never treat you badly."
Lin Hu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect things to develop like this. Lin Hu was not an expert in Ming history, but he also knew that Zhu Gaoxu's final end was not good, but that happened in the late Yongle period or even the Xuanzong period of the Ming Dynasty.
At the moment, Zhu Gaoxu is truly one person below ten thousand people, and God knows whether the historical process here will develop according to Lin Hu's knowledge. Maybe Zhu Gaoxu's future ending will be different. Thinking of this, Lin Hu is a little worried.
hesitate.
"Commander, do you really mean what you say?"
"I don't have the guts to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, don't I?"
"Can you let me think about it?"
"Why are you thinking about it? This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing can't even be asked for by others?"
"I know, but this is a big deal. I have to think about it."
"Okay. I'll come back to hear your answer the day after tomorrow, Lin Hu. This kind of opportunity comes only by chance, but you can't ask for it. You must seize it."
Lin Hu nodded vaguely at that time, and then he immediately found Nangong. When he inquired about it, Zhang Neng had also approached her. In fact, Nangong was also trying to discuss the matter with Lin Hu at this time.
"What are you going to do?" Nangong asked.
"The King of Han is now holding the sky with one hand. Even our commanders are afraid of him. How can we little people afford to offend him? I think it is better to agree first and see the opportunity in the future."
"Is this good? If the King of Han loses power in the future, we will all be implicated."
"There is no way. It's just like betting. If you bet right, you will make a lot of money. If you bet wrong, you will lose everything. Wealth can only be gained through risk."
"This is too risky, and I don't like clinging to powerful people."
"You think I like it? But people have to bow their heads under the low eaves. After all, we can't afford to offend the King of Han, right?"
"Even so, I'm not happy about it."
"Let's do this. Let's not put all our eggs in one basket. I'm going to surrender to King Han. It's up to you what you want to do. In this way, no matter whether King Han succeeds or fails in the end, at least one of us can be saved."
Nangong Shaoqing thought about it for a while, and finally nodded helplessly: "That's all we have to do, this officialdom is really different from what I thought before."
Lin Hu smiled bitterly: "It's not just the officialdom that is different."
In this way, the two of them reached an agreement. When Zhang Neng found Lin Hu the day after tomorrow to ask for an answer, he agreed directly.
"Hey, that's right. The King of Han is so powerful now that he might become the Emperor of Heaven in the future. We won't suffer anything by following him. Besides, I heard that you and Nangong are getting along well now. Please give me some advice when you have time.
Advise him that if you go against the wishes of the King of Han, you will not get good results."
As soon as Lin Hu heard this, he knew that Zhang Neng had hit a wall with Nangong, and immediately smiled and said: "You don't know that Nangong, she has always been aloof. It may be difficult for her to cling to the King of Han, but I will try my best."
In this way, Lin Hu climbed to the Han Palace through Zhang Neng. At this time, even he himself was not sure whether the bet was right.
Soon after, there was significant progress in the hunt for the Zhengqi League. The Jinyi Guards learned from the captured Shaolin monks that the Zhengqi League had a stronghold near Dongting Lake, so Zhang Dayong's troops were arranged to go to the local area to investigate, and Lin Hu naturally accompanied them.
.
Before leaving, Zhang Neng went to find Lin Hu: "Have you heard of the Chen Ke family in Huguang?"
"I have heard that they are descendants of Chen Youliang who are now quite powerful in the Huguang area."
"Yes, you go and investigate their affairs this time and see if you can win these people to serve the King of Han."
"The King of Han wants to bribe them?"
"Yes, you also know that the King of Han wants to compete for the crown prince's position. How can he do it without any men under his command?"
"But the Chen Ke family has a grudge against Ming Dynasty. Will they be happy?"
