The war horses accelerated enthusiastically on the official road.

The horses in the Central Plains are always not as good as those outside the customs. Fortunately, the empire still holds the Hetao area and can continue to supply the court with good horses for combat.

Taiyuan City, as a nine-border important town connecting the Central Plains and the outside world, has never been short of pedestrians on its official roads.

Zhang Hui, dressed in smart clothes, led the people and rode quickly.

Just like the Yuan people outside the Guan Dynasty longed for the Central Plains, Zhang Hui also had a unique desire for the outside world.

horse.

There are the most powerful war horses outside the pass, and there are thoroughbred horses that can make those Yuan people run thousands of miles.

Although Zhang Hui is a royal guard, he is also a soldier of the empire, and he also has a strong interest and desire for everything related to war.

In addition to longing for the endless grasslands and groups of war horses outside the pass, Zhang Hui raised his head and looked at the outline of Taiyuan City that had been drawn out in beautiful and brilliant light under the afterglow of the setting sun.

A certain research project of Taiyuan Hospital has reached its most critical moment. I hope that during this trip, I can complete the final and most critical step for Taiyuan Hospital in Taiyuan City.

As a royal guard, he ordered hundreds of officials to be imprisoned.

To outsiders, Zhang Hui is the devil who climbed up from hell, an executioner who can only cramp and peel off bones.

But in Taiyuan Hospital, Zhang Hui enjoyed the highest respect.

Even though he was covered in blood, as soon as he walked into the imperial hospital, the imperial doctors who were now accustomed to wearing white coats would always surround him enthusiastically and eagerly exchange with him the latest research results and the next steps.

I hope Zhang Hui can help.

This insufficiency is felt by outsiders, which makes Zhang Hui a little more eager for the city of Taiyuan that is getting closer and closer in front of him.

"Now that the errands on Shanxi Road have been completed, it's time for us Jin Yiwei to set up outside the customs."

Zhang Hui is riding very fast on horseback, but his control of the horse is particularly superb.

Several of his subordinates who were traveling with him were also skilled in riding.

"The biggest problem now is that it is difficult for our people to show their faces on the grassland. Even though the imperial court has recruited and surrendered many grassland tribes over the years, these people are not worthy of complete trust."

A general flag officer under Zhang Hui explained quietly beside him.

Zhang Hui chuckled: "Then select some young herdsmen who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Those who are fifteen or sixteen years old are the best. There is new research at the Imperial Hospital. As long as the methods are appropriate, these people can be completely devoted to the Ming Dynasty. That is

It’s hard for his biological parents to change his mind.”

The commander-in-chief silently closed his mouth.

Everyone in the prison knows that Baihuguan is not only doing the same things for Taiyuan Hospital.

It has been some time since the things that Baihuguan did in the imperial edicts and prisons have changed from a superficial study to an attack on a person's innermost being.

As the chief flag officer under Zhang Hui, he still remembers the time when the extremely vicious bandit was taken back to prison by him from the Ministry of Punishment.

It's only a ten-day period.

The bandit with nearly a hundred lives on his hands has become as obedient as a chicken.

The flag officer even watched with his own eyes as Zhang Baihu calmly asked the other party to cut off his five fingers one by one.

The robber, without any hesitation in his eyes, took the knife and cut off his fingers one by one.

At that moment, the flag officer felt chilled all over and the hairs on his body stood up.

No one knows what Baihuguan did to the bandit in those ten days to make him behave like this and make such a big change.

But what is known is that Baihuguan did not torture the bandit.

But soon, the experiment was stopped.

The Chief Flag Officer vaguely heard that the order came from the palace, and all written records related to the entire experiment were transferred from Jinyiwei to another unknown place, and all archives were destroyed.

As for the Taiyuan Hospital, the new and old envoys personally went out to communicate with Zhang Baihu for a long time, and even wrote a prescription for Zhang Baihu, requiring Zhang Baihu to take it for a month.

This is something that must never be made public.

When the commander-in-chief heard that Zhang Hui was going to use that method again, he tactfully shut up and refused to participate in the inquiry.

At this time, the team had arrived near Taiyuan City.

Enter the city from the southeast.

Looking up at the towering walls of Taiyuan City, Zhang Hui looked northeast.

He raised his arm holding the riding crop and pointed northeast.

"Yuan thief?"

The flag officer looked in the direction and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's probably herdsmen from outside the customs who are entering the customs to do some business."

Zhang Hui's brows trembled: "After all, the horses outside the pass are more handsome."

The chief flag officer smiled and said: "If hundreds of households like it, my subordinates will buy those horses after entering the city."

Does Jin Yiwei need to spend money to buy what he wants?

Especially, this thing is not in Akito's hands.

The answer is obvious.

When I say I buy it, it’s just to make it sound better.

Zhang Hui smiled, shook his head and said: "Go to the city and find a good place to settle down. In the days to come, you need to be careful and don't attract the attention of Taiyuan City."

The chief flag officer nodded: "Do you want to contact the Prince of Jin's Mansion? With the secret support of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, it will be convenient for me to wait in Taiyuan City."

Zhang Hui thought for a while and then said: "His Royal Highness's decree requires the King of Jin and Duke Liang to go north and sit in Datong. The White Lotus Sect can insert its hands into the imperial city of Zhongdu. There is no guarantee that there are no eyes and ears in the palace of the King of Jin, so we should not contact them."

The flag officer's eyes darkened.

Although it is now clear that the White Lotus Sect has colluded with Shanxi merchants to do evil things.

But the other party is in the dark after all, and no one knows who in Taiyuan City is behind the development of the White Lotus Sect.

As Taiyuan City is the heartland of Shanxi merchants, the relationships in the city must have been intricate for a long time.

"It's time to respond to Heaven and send more people to Shanxi Road."

The chief flag officer said in a low voice.

At present, in Shanxi Road, apart from them, there are only those Jinyiwei Hundred Households who are on the bright side.

These people will naturally be closely watched by the people in Shanxi Road and cannot be used recklessly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! People other than them cannot cope with the current situation in Shanxi Road.

Zhang Hui lowered his eyelids and spoke after a while: "I am here to report that my grandson is here."

The chief flag officer nodded: "My subordinates understand."

At this time, the group of people had already arrived at Taiyuan City.

Everyone took out the false vouchers prepared in advance and handed them to the officers and soldiers at the city gate for verification, and then entered Taiyuan City without incident.

In a short period of time, Taiyuan City was invaded by several forces with different agendas.

But for various reasons, he kept a low profile and calm.

This makes Taiyuan City, which has entered early winter, not appear too chaotic. Just because the New Year is approaching, it does give the streets a more festive atmosphere.

Northwest corner of the city.

There is a large mansion just a few streets away from Prince Jin's Mansion. It clearly shows luxury, but no one dares to criticize it.

In the city, the three government offices on Shanxi Road, the Taiyuan government office, the county government office, and various government offices are scattered throughout the city. There are many unexplained connections with the house in the northwest corner.

Because there is Gaomen in the northwest of the city, and the streets that are slightly closer, it has become a place where people from all walks of life gather.

I thought I could be favored by a high-ranking family and get more money so I could go home and celebrate the New Year.

There are people who sing drums and calligraphy, people who sing bamboo board calligraphy, people who sell combs and grates, people who sell knives and scissors, people who sell medicine, people who tell fortunes, and people who tell fortune-telling, the street is bustling with activity, attracting an endless stream of people from Taiyuan City.

Away from the street entrance, there was a stall with several tea tables, burning tea powder, and a storyteller entertaining a few guests.

The storytellers were all talking about popular books such as "The Biography of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". The common people had heard a lot and were not very curious.

After finishing the article, the husband only got a few pennies in total, which was not enough to cover the day's expenses, but he had no idea of ​​continuing.

Instead, he sat down to the side and made tea at the tea stall. He drank the tea and smeared the oil beans in his mouth while looking at the high gate across the street.

"I have been in Taiyuan City for three to five days, but I can't make a few taels of silver. I probably won't be able to return home this year."

Zhang Hui's face looked a little pale because he had been in prison for a long time. At this moment, he was wearing a storyteller's gown, which made it hard to tell.

The tea stall owner was circling his hands and looking at the endless stream of people on the street, but few came to drink tea.

I didn't have much free time, so I just glanced at the storyteller here.

Then the tea stall owner showed a bit of sarcasm on his face: "You have to be good at trial work. Who hasn't heard of "The Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Three Kingdoms"? There are many people who have talked about it. Can you do it?"

Zhang Hui looked over and stared: "I can't say it's good, your tea stall can't be burned well either."

The tea stall owner then replied: "I have nothing to do. There are seven people in my family working on the land, and I can't be more or less. I can boil water to make tea, and I can make more than ten or twenty planks a day."

Zhang Hui stopped talking. If he hadn't agreed to give half of the old man's daily storytelling to him, he wouldn't have had a place to hide his identity.
