Tang Shizhong went out after explaining clearly, while Wang Shijian, who stayed in the house, looked cheerful. There was nothing more worthwhile than living a good life.
At this time, someone came in and reported: "Sir, Li Tongpan sent several cartloads of gifts from the back door. I heard that there are rare things such as rhino horns inlaid with gold. I wonder if I will accept them?"
Wang Shijian frowned and looked at the servant he had brought from the capital and scolded: "Let him go. I have nothing to do with my sleeves. How can I accept their ill-gotten gains? Hmph!"
The servant was confused and didn't know when his master had changed his gender, but he had to listen to the master's words. He regretfully went out and declined Li Tongpan's gift.
Naturally, Li Tongpuan was not angry at all. He smiled and handed the person a substantial piece of silver and turned around and left. As long as you give more often, confiscation will become collection. Who is afraid of a drop of water?
But at this time, Wang Shijian felt refreshed. It turned out that being an upright official was so reassuring, and he was determined not to be greedy again!
At this time, Tang Shicheng, who was in another room, was talking to his subordinate Zhen Fu: "Has everything been arranged?"
"It's been arranged. The ordinary soldiers in the guard station are not doing well, and their families have also been affected by the disaster. It is a time when there is no way to go from heaven to earth, and the last person to do the work is Liu Wu. You know his unique skills
of."
Tang Shizhong nodded when he heard this and said: "We must make sure nothing goes wrong. We have been practicing hard in the capital for so long just to be able to serve you at the critical moment. Don't miss this great opportunity."
"Don't worry, General. Your subordinates will definitely pay close attention to it. Even if there is an emergency, they will be able to make up for it immediately and will never delay important matters!"
Tang Shizhong patted his shoulder and asked him to leave. After he left, he himself was a little nervous. He kept spreading his fists to calm his mood. Both men and husbands wanted to make contributions, so they naturally wanted to join Tang Shizhong, but it was a pity.
If you are born at the wrong time, the world will be determined.
But even so, he was not willing to stay in the imperial city as a guard of honor for the rest of his life. Now that he was lucky enough to follow His Highness the Crown Prince on a tour, he naturally wanted to make achievements. It would be great if he had the opportunity to lead one of his own.
The commanding generals of the guard posts in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places are all involved in the case, and they will definitely be liquidated, so the official vacancies left by them will need to be filled.
The Marquis of Dongping is going to escort His Highness back to Beijing, and the Marquis of Xuanning, Cao Liangchen, has already taken charge of the Xi'an garrison, and his power is greater than that of the Duke. His Highness can rest assured that he will not be able to hand over the military power of Shaanxi and Gansu to him again, otherwise he will
It's not trust, it's flattery.
So after all, he has a great chance. He is suitable for his official position, and he has a background as a military guard in the Emperor's Guards. If he can handle his errands and finally make a request to the prince, he should be able to succeed.
The next morning, after Pingliang Prefecture officials distributed the first wave of gruel, they made an appointment for a luncheon. The worst of the disaster had actually passed, and they were just waiting for the imperial court to gather a wave of relief food and divide it among everyone.
Let this matter be over.
The most important thing now is to communicate with each other on the surface and use their magical powers secretly. No one wants to be the one who takes the blame in the end. At this time, Chen Yunze's importance is reflected again. It happens that Chen Yunze's body has almost recovered.
Zhao Guangsheng and Fang Liangpin, the prefect of Pingliang, came to invite them personally. Now that Zhu Biao had arrived, he naturally no longer avoided them. He smiled and greeted them politely for a while, and was about to go to the banquet together.
At this time, Li Tongpan was seen hurriedly walking over, taking a look at Zhu Biao, and then reported to the prefect: "For some reason, Imperial Envoy Wang suddenly led all the guards and went straight to the guard post outside the city."
"this……"
Fang Liangpin and Zhao Guangsheng looked at each other, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Mr. Chen, Wang Qin's envoy looks down on us and other local officials even if he can't get in. I'm afraid I have to ask you to take action in this matter."
As he spoke, Zhao Guangsheng gave Chen Rongyan a look. Recently, he had given Chen Rongyan seven or eight thousand taels of benefits, and now he had to say a few words of help.
Chen Rongyan naturally said a few words to save face. Zhu Biao pondered for a moment before saying: "Originally, I didn't want to meet Wang Qinqin. After all, it would be awkward to see him again when he returned to Beijing in the future. But since you have entrusted me with it, I can't refuse anymore.
, I think he will also give the noble man some face."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was not polite. After all, they were all just grasshoppers on a rope. If something happened, no one would be able to benefit from it. They drove away in a hurry. However, Wang Shijian and others rode away on horseback. Naturally,
They can't catch up.
By the time they arrived at the guardhouse, the situation was already very serious. Wang Shijian was yelling at Dingyuan General Wang Liu. Of course, Wang Shijian was also a civilian official, so he couldn't scold a rogue general like Wang Liu.
The words on both sides provoked evil, and the soldiers under his command were also facing each other with swords and guns. Wang Shijian wanted to lead his troops into the guard station to search and shouted: "I am patrolling the disaster area under the orders of the Holy One. I am patrolling on behalf of heaven. Wang Liu, how dare you, a mere Dingyuan general,
If you lead the troops to stop me, I see that you clearly want to rebel!"
There was a slant scar on Wang Liu's face, which was ferocious. He opened his mouth and bared his big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Your imperial minister is also a civilian official in inspection and management. It's nothing to go to my general's barracks, unless you can take out the Holy Spirit."
Otherwise, there is no chance of taking a step forward unless there is an imperial edict or a military order from the Governor's Office."
Wang Shijian still wanted to scold him, but Wang Liu looked greedily at the government soldiers beside him and said: "They are all good soldiers. Five thousand government soldiers and our small guard station cannot stop us, but you dare to give the order."
Attack the local military formation of the imperial court? Wang Qinchen, by then the one who will rebel is not me but you!"
At this time, the prefect of Pingliang led Zhu Biao and others to come to the middle to smooth things over. Fang Liangpin took Zhu Biao and walked to Wang Shijian and said: "Brother Wang, what are you doing? Even if you want to search the guardhouse, you should discuss it with me."
Yes, General Wang naturally cannot agree to such recklessness, so you should go back with me."
Zhu Biao silently broke away from Fang Liangpin's hand, stood silently next to Tang Shizhong, who was dressed as a school captain, and said to Wang Shijian, who was a few meters away: "Junior Chen Yunze has seen the imperial envoy..."
As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, his pupils suddenly dilated. Not far away, envoy Wang Daqin, who was still speaking solemnly and majesticly, suddenly had a crossbow arrow stuck in his forehead. The image was a bit ridiculous.
At that moment, when Wang Shi fell backward, his eyes found Zhu Biao and looked at him with an incomprehensible look. Zhu Biao felt more confused inside. Maybe Wang Shijian was not sure whether His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to kill him. After all,
too suddenly.
"According to the order of General Dingyuan, we will kill the corrupt officials in the imperial court!"
At this time, the back of Wang Shijian's head bounced hard on the ground twice, and several roars came from the guard station soldiers. The scene suddenly got out of control, and the noisy screams, roars, and explanations suddenly exploded.
