Chapter 23 Man Gui pays homage to Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country is dedicated to the country!

Yao Zongwen and Liang Menghuan couldn't help but look at each other, wondering how they could find Mr. Liu Ge?

Yao Zongwen saw that this was not good, and hurriedly said to Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian: "Three imperial envoys, based on what I have seen, it is better to quickly find out the case of the emperor's relative Zhang Guojiu passing off the fat coats he made as good ones to harm the border troops.

Okay, there’s no need to delve into these further.”

Liang Menghuan also smiled and said: "Yeah, it's more important to do business."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong nodded first: "It's really important to do business. Let's leave the situation that the new fat coat in Juyongguan is shoddy for the time being. We will go and look at the ones in other places."

With that said, Sun Chengzong asked Xu Guangqi and Yang Lian: "What do you two think?"

Xu Guangqi said: "That's okay."

Yang Lian also nodded: "Then let's check on the emperor's relative Zhang Guojiu first."

Therefore, Sun Chengzong took the initiative to ask Zhang Gui: "I wonder where the fat coats made by my uncle are supplied to the frontier army?"

"Xifengkou."

Zhang Gui replied.

"Then let's go to Xifengkou first."

Sun Chengzong said therefore.

The group of people came to Xifengkou, but when they reached Gubeikou, they stopped and prepared to rest for a day.

"I've seen all of you."

Xifengkou Ginseng General Mangui had already greeted Sun Chengzong and others outside Guancheng.

As soon as they arrived here, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian asked Mangui to take out the new fat coats that the soldiers had just received.

Mangui immediately arranged for someone to do it, and said: "You guys don't know, the fat coats sent by the Han family this year are indeed better than those in previous years! There is enough cotton, and they are all top quality.

New cotton is really warm! The cotton is better than the top-grade Songjiang cotton, with fewer seams and denser stitches, and it can block the wind! In fact, such cotton is a waste to make a fat jacket. It should be made into cotton armor or cloth-faced armor."

As Man Gui said, he saw Han Gui here, and came over, directly trying to push the gold mountain and knock down the jade pillar: "The general is a rough man. Although I don't know why Mr. Xiao Ge made such a good fat coat, but in any case, Xiao Ge

People like Mr. Ge are worthy of the general's respect. I am here to thank Mr. Ge for all the border army brothers at Xifengkou!"

Han Gui took advantage of Man Gui before he knelt down and hurriedly supported him: "General Man, there is no need to be like this. This fat coat is not mine, it was made by Uncle Enfu Guo. You worshiped the wrong person!"

After hearing this, Mangui was surprised, then looked at Zhang Gui, without saying anything, he fell to the ground and saluted.

"General, please rise. How can I receive such a great gift?"

Zhang Gui hurriedly helped Man Gui up and said: "I only took over the business of making fat coats for you just to make money. It's not a reward. There's nothing worth worshiping."

"Even so, among the merchants who have been responsible for making fat coats for many years, there is no one who can make clothes as honestly as Mr. Guo! Mr. Guo must not have made any money, but rather lost a lot."

Mangui said.

Zhang Gui smiled slightly and said nothing.

At this time, Man Gui's officers and soldiers brought in new fat coats.

Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian each took one piece and rubbed it carefully with their hands.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but said to Sun Chengzong: "Zhisheng, I am from Songjiang, and I know very well about cotton. This is indeed the best cotton. The needle and thread are very dense. The key is to look at the seams and you will know that the cotton should be very wide. Indeed

Not shoddy cotton!”

Sun Chengzong nodded: "I also feel that this cotton is very good."

At this time, Yang Lian ordered the soldier in front of him: "Use your waist knife to cut open this fat coat. I want to see the inside."

The soldier hesitated a little, pulled out half of his sword, and looked at Man Gui: "General!"

Seeing this, Mangui had no choice but to draw his knife and cut open a fat jacket, revealing the cotton inside.

A distressed expression flashed across the soldier's face just now.

Yang Lian pulled out the cotton inside and rubbed it for a long time.

Sun Chengzong came over at this time and was about to pull out a large handful, but when he noticed the looks in the eyes of the soldiers in front of him, he had to pull out a little bit and said: "It is indeed new cotton, it can't afford a regiment."

Xu Guangqi also pulled out a little bit, rubbed it and said with a smile: "It's better than the cotton I'm wearing."

…

"Queen, what do you think of the wooden horse I made for the little prince? I also made a wooden hairpin for you. I carved the flowers myself. Because Zhang Gui said that the new paint was poisonous, I didn't paint it. What do you think?

"

Tianqi came to the Queen and was talking to Zhang Yan, but seeing that Zhang Yan was depressed, he asked, "Why are you so frowning?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I don't have you. Your Majesty has misunderstood."

Tianqi said: "I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that Zhang Guizhen has done something wrong, right?"

After saying that, Tianqi stood up and said: "In that case, I will go there personally. If he really did something wrong and made the border troops dissatisfied, I will personally apologize to those border troops who defended the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and let them be willing

Let me let Zhang Gui go. As long as the border troops understand me, it doesn't matter what other people's opinions are."

Tianqi said and left Qianqing Palace again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Stop!"

Tianqi had already gone far and did not hear Zhang Yan's words. He took Wei Zhongxian out of Kunning Palace and ordered: "Wei Zhongxian, let's go incognito. Don't bring too many people, just bring a few capable and loyal guards."

"yes!"

Not long after, Tianqi, together with Wei Zhongxian and others, came to a post station here in Xifengkou and found an inn nearby to stay.

This inn has two floors, with dining downstairs and accommodation upstairs.

Tianqi and others went upstairs first.

But as soon as Tianqi arrived upstairs, he saw Sun Chengzong, Zhang Gui and others entering the inn in casual clothes.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, it's Uncle Guo and the others."

Tianqi waved his hand: "Don't alarm them first, otherwise Mr. Sun will blame me for leaving the palace incognito."

"clear!"

…

Sun Chengzong and others also wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible and did not want to be disturbed by local officials, so they all returned to Beijing incognito. Instead of staying at the inn, they found this larger private inn to rest.

As soon as he arrived here, Xu Guangqi said: "There is no doubt that Uncle Guo is innocent, and he is the only person in the border passes we have investigated so far who has provided real materials to the border army. He did not take the money from the court in vain.

.”

Sun Chengzong also nodded and said: "This is indeed a fact. It is unbelievable. We have misunderstood Uncle Guo."

Sun Chengzong looked at Yang Lian as he spoke: "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Lian glanced at Zhang Gui with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, Yang Lian stood up and bowed to Zhang Gui.

This scene shocked many people.

Even Tian Qi, who was peeking upstairs, was surprised and said: "This Yang Lian has always had a stubborn temper and despised the powerful. How could he bow to Zhang Gui?"

Here, Yang Liandao said: "My uncle is sincerely serving the country, but what we, the scientific officials, have said is untrue. I was also quite prejudiced against you before, which made you feel cold. I deeply apologize!"
