Chapter 22: Chaos

  On the long street, Zhang Jiamu ran like wildfire.

  In the south of the city, in the Jin Yi Wei Bai Hu Men, Duan Da's heart was as cold as ice. On the brick floor of the flower hall, Li Mang, who had just been kicked by Duan Da, knelt with a precious sword in his hands, his face bruised and swollen, although he looked extremely wretched, but he didn't dare to move, kneeling obediently on the ground.

  Who knows what he will do in his rage?

  "Too chaotic, too chaotic!" Mendala was like a donkey in her own home's living room, turning around non-stop. Turning and turning, she saw a large vase, reached out to grab it, and with a "crash", smashed it into powder.

  The poor little maidservants waiting under the corridor were all frightened pale, Master is really in a bad mood today, having already smashed one, how could he smash another bottle!

  "So he's gone for a while and can't be caught up with?" Menduo calmed down a lot after smashing the bottle, and asked Li Xiangzi: "Why didn't you guys hold him back?"

  "We can't hold on!" Li Xiangzi was almost in tears. He said, "Sir, if we could hold on, would the little people dare not to?"

  Menda laughed "haha" and looked Li Xiazi up and down, saying: "I heard you're a clever guy, go down and wait, if this matter gets out of hand today, you'll be waiting to be skinned!"

  Leaving Li Xiangzi who was already frightened out of his wits, Mendah calmed down and shouted: "Someone, bring me my heavy coat, I'm going out!"

  ……

  Meng Da changed his clothes and rushed straight to Jingyuan Bo's mansion. Fortunately, it was just a block away, and he arrived in no time after riding his horse at full gallop.

  As soon as Meng Da heard Zhang Jia's reckless words, he was also furious: How could this kid be so ignorant of his own interests?

  Is this something that can be done with just a surge of blood to the brain? Ren Yuan is certainly innocent, and Wei Li will definitely help him out, but that's for the higher-ups to handle. How did Zhang Jiamu, a newly appointed captain, dare to go and grab someone?

  Muddled, impulsive, too muddled, too impulsive.

  It's worth thinking about, which shows that this young man is bold and righteous. Mendan now appreciates Zhang Jiamu not only because he is clever, but also because of what happened today, he thinks this kid is really a good material, not only has culture, but also has martial arts skills.

  What's scary is that they have a lot of people and momentum, if you don't fight back, you'll be blamed for it, and instead, you'll end up being taken advantage of.

  Menda is angry and says: "If you want to rob someone, at least bring some more brothers along..."

  He arrived at the earl's mansion and was a frequent visitor, so he didn't need to be announced and went straight in through the inner gate.

  Wang Ji was receiving guests, and Men Da sat at the other end of the living room, feeling anxious. Fortunately, soon the host came down to greet them, and they were familiar with each other without formalities. The old man changed his clothes, and tea was served again. Then, Men Da went forward to pay his respects.

  "Seems like you have an urgent matter?" Although Wang Ji was old, the responsibilities on his body had not decreased one bit. He held the rank of a general and was in charge of the 10th battalion as well as the affairs of Zhengnanfang. In reality, he was also the supervisor that the current emperor had found for his older brother, the former emperor. All matters related to the South Palace were first handled by Wang Ji, and only if they could not be resolved would they be reported to the emperor for handling.

  People with great responsibilities naturally have a good spirit and can be seen at a glance that there is an urgent matter, so they simply don't bother with small talk and directly ask the main question.

  Menda had just opened his mouth to say a couple of words when Wang Ji shouted "Stop!" He turned around and said, "Bring Li Zhihui and Ha Tongshi in for me."

  These two men were also on duty in Zhengnan, so they had nothing to do and just waited at the government office, and as soon as they were called, they came.

  Everyone was present, and Wang Ji called the door to continue speaking. After the door finished speaking, the people on the scene were all solemn, and for a while, the room fell silent.

  Half a moment later, Wang Ji shook his head and said: "This little school lieutenant is still quite brave. I already know about what happened at Yang Huan's house today. Originally, I was going to promote him, and I mentioned this before. At the very least, he should be a small flag. Such extraordinary grace is not common in the Brocade Guard."

  Menda clapped his thigh and said, "Isn't that what I said? This young man is really capable. To be honest with you, sir, I was thinking of making him my deputy. Zhengnan Fang is not an ordinary Fang, he can handle it. But now that things have gotten to this point, it's going to be difficult to deal with!"

  The old man was still a bit hesitant, but when Menda brought it up, he remembered Zhang Jiamu's quick solution to the trouble in Yang Huan's mansion, and this ability, of course, was unquestionable.

  As for the Dongchang guard in Yang Huai's mansion, he will naturally go and discuss it with the eunuchs in the palace, there is no hurry about this matter.

  It's a pity that the old man only truly moved his heart to sympathize with talented people at this time. He said, "I will definitely speak up for this matter. In a moment, I will go see Xing Gonggong of the Ministry of Rites and Wang Gonggong. The Eastern Depot is under their jurisdiction."

  "But," he frowned and said: "These eunuchs are not easy to talk to. I really don't have a grasp on this matter."

  Ha Ming was Zhang Jiamu's mentor, so their relationship doesn't need to be mentioned. But Wang Ji said it was true, so despite his anxious face, he followed up by saying: "Look at this kid, is he good or not? If he can talk his way out of it, then nothing will happen. If he can't, then he'll just have to take the consequences."

  This made everyone look at Li Chun again, and Li Chun stood up and said without hesitation: "Whether or not it can be saved, the master is not necessarily sure. To be honest, things in the palace are really troublesome!"

  Although everyone present was a figure in the Ming government and military systems, when it came to dealing with eunuchs, each person frowned.

  Even Wang Ji is really not confident at all.

  Menda knew that was how things were, so he stood up and said: "In that case, I'll go back and send someone to gather information. If there's anything important, I'll come back and report it."

  "Don't be in a hurry," Ha Ming stopped him: "Go to the Jin Yiwei Yamen once, and ask to see several commanders."

  Menda frowned and said: "If Master Bo can't handle this matter, what's the use of them?"

  Wang Ji was a powerful and fierce military general, specially promoted to the position of Guanglu Daifu, granted the title of Marquis, and also in charge of ten battalions. He concurrently held the position of Minister of War, a high-ranking military official. If Wang Ji couldn't handle it, what's the use of sending a few Jin Yiwei guards?

  "You don't have to think too much about it," Ha Ming said: "In short, trusting me is not wrong."

  "Alright!" Menduo didn't just pretend to care about his feelings, he helped people wholeheartedly, sending Buddha to the Western Heaven was just a matter of running errands, he agreed and decided to leave immediately.

  The Jin Yiwei Garrison is located in the western part of the Imperial City, together with the Zhongjun Dudu Fu and the Guanglu Temple. It's not that there's anything urgent going on; generally speaking, it's not necessary to go to the garrison.

  Menda agreed, and Ha Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his temples and sighed: "Now it's really up to this kid's luck!"

  Zhang Jiamu was impulsive and accidentally got a group of high-ranking officials to help him wipe his butt, this glorious honor is not worth mentioning.

  After a while, Wang Ji and Li Chun left the mansion separately, and Men Da also took people to the Jin Yiwei government office to report. Ha Ming was restless, thinking that he really didn't feel at ease, so he brought several followers and rushed to the Dongchang Hutong outside the East Anmen Gate.

  Calculating the time, Zhang Jiamu would either catch up halfway or arrive at Dongchang. Ha Ming decided that no matter what, he would go and take a look first.

  Although much has been done, Ha Ming knew in his heart that this time Zhang Jiamu was indeed unpredictable!
