"Thank you, General Zhu!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shirong was immediately moved to tears! He even felt a little guilty about keeping a close watch on Zhu Fei.
He believed what Zhu Fei said.
"Why call me General Zhu? Your elder brother and I are like brothers, so you can call me Brother Zhu too."
"Brother Zhu!"
Zhang Shirong was overjoyed. He never expected to meet such a benefactor so soon after arriving at the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Ultimately, all he did for the Prime Minister, even monitoring Zhu Fei, was to get promoted and make money!
But now, his immediate superior is about to hand him this huge pie. With a new emperor comes a new court, and now that Zhu Fei has taken office, the new leader will support his confidants. Why should he stick to his surveillance duties?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shirong hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Yes! Your humble servant obeys! Your humble servant will immediately investigate the situation of all officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and report to General Zhu!"
"Alright! Go and find out what's going on first! Then, we'll find some excuses to bring down these old subordinates, make room for you, and I can give you a good promotion!"
Zhu Fei pointed out with a sinister look on his face, which immediately enlightened Zhang Shirong, who was overjoyed!
"Brother Zhu is brilliant! Thank you, Brother Zhu!"
Zhu Fei waved his hand with satisfaction, watching Zhang Shirong turn and leave in a hurry.
The generals Zhu Fei mentioned were all former subordinates of Jia Zhengjin. They were all descendants of the meritorious group, typical second-generation military officers.
He had been in contact with these people since the beginning of his term, but these spoiled brats were arrogant and completely ignored him.
That's why Zhu Fei handed this task over to Zhang Shirong, intending to start a dog-eat-dog fight.
Zhang Shirong, thinking it was a good job, immediately led the guards he had brought from the Prime Minister's residence and stormed into the military camp in a grand manner.
At this time, these sons of nobles were drinking, gambling, and even bringing prostitutes into the camp, openly groping them, creating a chaotic and corrupt atmosphere throughout the camp.
Zhang Shirong heard the eerie cries from afar and immediately sneered.
"Just as Brother Zhu said! Perfect, let's use this bunch of spoiled brats who don't follow military rules to make a name for ourselves!"
"Guards, go and seize these good-for-nothings!"
Zhang Shirong shouted with an air of dominance.
The guards immediately pounced on the tent like tigers pouncing on a pack of wolves.
Soon! A loud commotion broke out, accompanied by screams from women. Zhang Shirong was overjoyed! He rubbed his hands excitedly, already imagining the scene of being rewarded and given important responsibilities by Zhu Fei. He couldn't wait to head towards the tent.
The camp was brightly lit and extremely noisy and chaotic.
"Don't move! Don't move at all!"
"Behave yourself, or you'll be caught in a dangerous situation!"
Zhang Shirong glanced at the Jinyiwei officers who were being held down on the ground with a cold smile, snorted, and strode into the center of the tent.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass into the Jinyiwei military camp!"
A general dressed in the robes of a garrison commander stood up, glared at Zhang Shirong, and cursed him.
Zhang Shirong, however, was not afraid at all. He sneered and kicked, "Are you blind? I am here today on General Zhu's orders to enforce military discipline and arrest you generals who have violated military discipline."
"General Zhu?"
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, and then burst into laughter as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Hahaha, you're saying Fatty Zhu is coming to arrest us?"
"Where did this idiot come from? Is he out of his mind?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? With your appearance, not even Zhu Fei himself would dare to say such a thing."
Zhang Shirong frowned slightly. These spoiled brats were simply too arrogant, and his eyes were full of contempt!
He was like a complete clown!
This feeling infuriated Zhang Shirong, who gritted his teeth and roared, "Fine, very well! Men, drag them all away and give them twenty strokes of the military rod!"
Arrogant, huh? That's perfect!
Zhang Shirong is eager to perform well so that he can be given important responsibilities in the future. He's just worried about not finding a suitable candidate to take the plunge!
These spoiled brats, relying on their families' power, are used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly.
Clearly, no one expected that this Zhang Shirong would dare to be so arrogant.
Before they could react, several guards rushed forward, grabbing one of them roughly and shoving them to the ground.
Then, the military batons lashed out with a series of cracking sounds.
The screams were incessant.
Zhang Shirong stood to the side with his hands behind his back, watching coldly.
Military merit, oh military merit, the military merit that's already in my hands.
However, the commotion here might be too great.
In no time, a large crowd had gathered outside.
"Holy crap, what's going on here?"
"A new broom sweeps clean, and a pack of Zhu Fei's dogs arrived, even the Third Garrison Commander was pinned down by them."
"Who? The son of the Marquis of Wuwei!"
"What! You didn't see that wrong, did you?"
At this moment, Wu Xiao, the so-called Third Town Commander who had been pinned down, saw that Zhang Shirong and the others were really fighting. His eyes turned red, and with a roar, he drew his waist knife and slashed fiercely at the guard who was suppressing him.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted out, and an arm flew up.
"ah!"
The guard immediately screamed in agony as scalding blood splattered onto Zhang Shirong's face, startling him.
Holy crap, are they serious?
"Wu Xiao! You're fucking arrogant! How dare you commit violence in a military camp? Do you even have any respect for military discipline?!"
Wu Xiao's face was contorted with rage as he roared, "To hell with military discipline! You're all acting like you're above the law! Let me tell you the truth! I could kill you here and it would be pointless! Brothers, follow me and kill these bastards! If anything happens, my dad will cover for you!"
The other spoiled brats chimed in, "Let's do it! Kill these sons of bitches!"
"Damn it! They actually dared to attack us!"
With a furious shout, a group of military second-generation soldiers immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed towards Zhang Shirong and his men, cursing and swearing.
These people all held official positions and could command a large following in the military camp. With a single command, a huge group of people would rush into the camp, immediately terrifying Zhang Shirong and his men.
"Holy crap, they're rebelling!"
Zhang Shirong screamed and turned to run.
His men were terrified and hurriedly threw down their weapons, fleeing in all directions.
But Wu Xiao wasn't about to let them leave. He roared, "We can't let this be for nothing! Killing one is the same as killing several, so let's go all out and show them who the real masters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are!"
At his command, he immediately led a group of military second-generation elites in a chaotic chase.
Zhang Shirong fled all the way, never expecting that this group of spoiled brats would be so lawless!
What terrified him even more was that these lawless second-generation military officers were truly intent on killing! They slashed one after another without mercy. Zhang Shirong ran until his shoes almost fell off, and people behind him kept screaming and falling down.
