Governor Qin invited Lu Bing to the table, pointed at the table and said, "There are too many dishes for me to eat by myself, so I need someone to share them with."
After much deliberation, Commander Lu is the only one who is suitable. Although you and I are not on the same team, we have one thing in common. We both serve the Holy One wholeheartedly and think about the Holy One wholeheartedly."
Lu Bing was speechless. If you, Qin Dewei, were really thinking about the emperor, would you have written a "Tianri Zhaozhao" run?
Not wanting to listen to Inspector Qin's clichés, Commander Lu urged: "Let's talk about what you are saying first. Oh no, what exactly are the dishes?"
Qin Dewei said: "On the second day after I arrived in Datong City, I destroyed a rebellion case. The clan colluded with the White Lotus Demon Sect bandits, and all the people were captured on the spot."
This was Jin Yiwei's business scope. Lu Bing immediately asked: "Why haven't you heard about it and reported it to the police?"
Qin Dewei replied: "Later, the military situation was urgent, and my division commander had no time to take care of it, so he temporarily froze the case and led the division out of the fortress first to avoid delaying the military aircraft."
"Where is he now?" Lu Bing continued to ask.
"They were all secretly imprisoned at Datong Youwei, and were personally supervised by Zhonggu Wenchang, the grain manager of the Ministry of Household Affairs stationed in Datong Town."
Lu Bing sighed, not knowing what to say.
Detecting a conspiracy case, especially a sensitive case such as the collusion between the clan and the White Lotus Demon Sect, is a credit in any case.
And this Qin Zhongtang seems to be monopolizing it. It is served as a side dish to share. It is really a drought and a flood.
Qin Dewei said in an understatement: "It only took me one day, and it's not a trivial matter."
Is this a trivial matter? Commander Lu doesn’t want to say anything. Qin Dewei has so many merits that he will be rewarded endlessly, but others are different!
Qin Dewei then said very matter-of-factly: "It is indeed a small matter, but there is a bigger story behind it. Are you interested in hearing it, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Bing thought he heard it wrong, "Story? Qin Zhongtang wants to tell a story?"
Qin Dewei said temptingly: "I am indeed telling a story, but whether you can turn it into a reality depends on you, Mr. Lu."
Then Qin Dewei started talking: "The outline of the story is this. First, I accidentally discovered that a clan colluded with the White Lotus Demon Cult to rebel.
Secondly, these rebellious people intend to collude with the northern rebels outside the fortress, so the governor led his troops out of the fortress.
Third, the governor of Datong Town and the commander-in-chief of the army jointly falsely accused the governor, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and secretly sent the Jinyi Guards School to visit and investigate."
Hearing this, Lu Bing suddenly realized. This was to put gold on the emperor's face and cover up the emperor's embarrassment of being deceived.
Qin Dewei continued: "Fourth, under the correct leadership of this supervisor, the Jinyiwei Official School discovered that the general of Datong Town was secretly bribing and colluding with the northern captives."
Lu Bing couldn't help but interrupt, "Is this really true?"
Qin Dewei said with certainty: "It's true! When I joined the invaders, Wang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Datong, bribed Anda with a lot of money!
That's why I didn't attack Datong City as usual, and I dared to ignore my retreat and went south with confidence, because I knew that General Wang would not steal his retreat!
Datong Governor Shi Dao was aware of all this, but Governor Shi did not stop it, nor did he expose it or report it!"
Lu Bing suddenly understood again. No wonder Qin Dewei had been alienated and uncooperative with Zhen and Fu after arriving in Datong.
Even for serious matters such as going out to the fortress, Qin Dewei would find an excuse to burn wasteland and smuggle to hide the towns and villages.
After that, Qin Dewei continued again: "Fifth, under the correct leadership of this supervisor, the Jinyiwei Official School finally found out the truth!
The reason why they falsely accused me is because I noticed the rebellion and hindered them! I think that the imperial envoy Guo Xun was also dragged into the water.
The governor of Datong, the commander-in-chief, and the clan are actually accomplices! They are seducing Bai Lian internally and befriending Beiluo externally, trying to imitate Shi Jingtang’s old deeds!"
After hearing this story, Commander Lu had no objection to the ending of "the truth is revealed".
But what makes him uncomfortable is why everything must be "under the correct leadership of Governor Qin"?
So Lu Bing couldn't help but said: "Since everything is under your correct leadership, you can go investigate the case yourself!"
Qin Dewei replied without thinking: "That won't work, let the emperor and others see that it is you who is investigating the case.
Moreover, as the person who was framed, if I personally reverse the case, it will easily be misunderstood as a purely official struggle, which will weaken the justice."
Commander Lu wanted to say something else, but Qin Dewei became impatient: "If it doesn't work, we will change it to the strong assistance of my supervisor.
If that doesn't work, I'll get in the prison car and go to the capital, and I'll be done with it and ignore Datong's bad things!"
Commander Lu complained: "Correct leadership and strong assistance? If I have done everything, what will you do?"
Qin Dewei replied: "Of course there is a different division of labor. You are responsible for doing things, and I am responsible for being a person."
Commander Lu doesn't quite understand, what does "being a human being" mean?
When Governor Qin and Commander Lu reach a consensus again, it is estimated that the time has come for the imperial edict.
After the imperial envoy Guo Xun, Governor Shi and Wang Zongbing issued a joint memorial, two days and two nights later, that is, in the early morning of this day, the imperial edict from the capital was delivered, and the content was to approve Qin Dewei's dismissal.
Due to Qin Dewei's deliberate blockade and the spreading of false news to cause confusion, these three people still do not have an accurate grasp of the situation.
In other words, people in high positions are often isolated from the crowd, and may be slower to respond to the outside world than many small people.
At this time, these three people also did not know that there was another imperial edict on the road behind.
Guo Xun took the imperial edict of dismissal in hand and said to Wang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Datong: "This edict of dismissal is actually for Qin Dewei, and this imperial envoy only collects it on his behalf.
I would like to ask General Wang to take the trouble to deliver the imperial edict to Zhenqiang Fort, and assist Commander Lu in escorting Qin Dewei back."
Wang Sheng really wanted to ask, the imperial envoy is you, Marquis Guo, and it is your duty to deliver the imperial edict. Why don't you go?
But the official rank was overwhelming. Guo Xun and Wang Sheng were both members of the military minister system. Even if Guo Xun spoke, Wang Sheng would not dare to disobey.
After all, Guo Xun was not only a marquis, but also a close minister of the emperor. He held the position of governor in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, while Wang Zongbing only held the fictitious title of governor.
But when he thought about Qin Dewei, who had five to six thousand elite soldiers, and Wang Zongbing, who believed in strong soldiers and horses, he felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, he had the imperial edict of dismissal in hand, and no matter how arrogant Qin Dewei was, he would not openly resist the edict.
Helpless, General Wang ordered 500 cavalry from the Biao camp as a guard, and then set out on the road to look north.
Nearing the Zhenqiangbao Station, a patrol of cavalry blocked General Wang and his party and asked, "Who are you, and why are you gathering here?"
General Wang was so angry that he asked, "Open your eyes so wide that you don't recognize who I am?"
It's a pity that these officers and soldiers on patrol are all from Xuanfu, and they really don't know General Wang from Datong.
Then some soldiers came forward and shouted: "This is General Wang, the commander-in-chief of the army, who is here to deliver an order to the Governor of Qin!"
Gradually, many more officers and soldiers came over to confront Commander Wang and his party.
Wang Sheng quickly raised the edict and shouted: "This is the holy decree, Qin Dewei will be dismissed from his post! Who dares to resist the decree!"
Then General Wang tightened his reins. As long as there was any disturbance or trouble on the other side, he would definitely turn around and run away.
We can't blame Mr. Wang for being timid. In fact, Datong has a tradition of mutiny. There were already two mutinies during the Jiajing period.
As expected, many angry officers and soldiers gathered around, the number of which was far more than the several hundred people at General Wang's side.
The imperial court did not give the officers and soldiers a comforting explanation, and immediately threatened to dismiss the commander and arrest him. How could other officers and soldiers accept this?
If this is a complete denial of the great victory of the expedition, or if it is because the coach is gone and cannot be punished, the officers and soldiers will definitely have thoughts of rebellion.
The atmosphere was getting more and more tense, as if it was about to explode. Considering that there were few people on his side, Mr. Wang had already planned to withdraw first.
Anyway, when I came this time, the content of the imperial edict had been made public. How could it reach Qin Dewei's ears? It was considered that the imperial edict had been delivered.
At this moment, the door of the inn suddenly opened.
Inspector Qin, dressed in a green shirt, hurriedly came out of the post station, followed by the prison car and Commander Lu.
"Stop it!" Commander Qin shouted from a distance, and then he rode his horse and rushed into the middle of the confrontation between the two armies.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Commander Qin. Some irritable officers and soldiers shouted to Qin Dewei: "The court is unfair! Commander-in-Chief can lead us to conquer Datong and then petition the court!"
General Wang, who saw some hope, turned his horse's head and prepared to run away, while shouting: "Qin Dewei! The imperial decree has dismissed you from your post! You should take care of yourself!"
Qin Dewei ignored General Wang, turned around and jumped into the prison car again, holding the prison cage and standing very high, facing the thousands of officers and soldiers who had followed him outside the Great Wall, and said loudly:
"Listen to me! The court is pursuing me alone. Even if I am guilty, it is only me! It will not affect your meritorious service!"
Someone else shouted: "I can't trust these dog officials of the court!"
Qin Dewei then pointed to Lu Bing and said: "This man is the holy brother. After my persuasion and thanks to your loyalty and bravery, he will record your merits for you personally. He will definitely be able to go directly to His Majesty. What do you have to worry about?"
Someone else shouted: "Then where will you go, Inspector?"
Qin Dewei replied categorically: "I just said that even if I am guilty, it is only me and it will never affect you!
Moreover, Your Majesty is the Mingjun and Holy Lord, and I fully believe that Your Majesty will not be deceived! You must not have any different intentions, let alone do things that you regret for my sake!"
All the officers and soldiers were inexplicably moved and shouted: "Why is the Commander doing this! We are willing to follow the Commander!"
Lu Bing saw this from the side, and he finally understood why Qin Dewei said that his main task today was to "be a human being".
Could it be that the hard work will be handed over to him from now on, while Qin Dewei just pretends to be cool?
Qin Dewei shouted: "I understand your good intentions in obstructing the inn in the past three days, but after all, it is not a long-term solution!
Now I am going on the road. Without me, I have to save five thousand of you!
Don't be impulsive and go back to camp! I didn't let you come in vain this time, so please take care of yourself from now on!"
Then Qin Dewei bent down and got into the cage, and shouted to General Wang: "Let's go!"
Mr. Wang never expected that things would go surprisingly smoothly before he came!
Qin Dewei, who had five thousand elite soldiers, did not resist at all, nor did he make any small moves.
As soon as he saw the imperial edict, he did nothing and simply arrested him, even helping himself to appease the officers and soldiers.
Mr. Wang could only guess that this was probably the kind of foolish and loyal civil servant in legend.
Lu Bing led people to drive the prison car and said to General Wang: "Go back to Datong first!"
Suddenly there were more officers and soldiers trying to stop him, and Lu Bing also said loudly: "I will escort Governor Qin to Datong first. Once he is settled, I will come back to record your merits!"
Qin Dewei advised: "I will vouch for Lu Bing, so you can rest assured!"
The officers and soldiers blocking the road slowly dispersed and made way for them.
The commander-in-chief of Datong Town was always vigilant, so he hid aside and said nothing for fear of getting burned, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
These civil servants are indeed big fools. They can automatically put their necks under the knife's edge without anyone else doing anything.
So General Wang escorted the prison car southward towards Datong City, with many officers and soldiers following behind reluctantly, as if they were seeing off Governor Qin.
Suddenly a knight rushed over like flying and shouted: "There is an imperial edict! Qin Dewei accepts the edict!"
Most people were surprised and confused, why were the imperial edicts sent to Governor Qin so dense?
Many people have bad associations. The first is arrest, the second is arrest after dismissal, and what is the third?
Qin Dewei sat calmly in the cage, took the edict, raised it after reading it and said: "The Holy One has decreed that I be reinstated to my post!"
Lu Bing quickly opened the cage, and Qin Dewei jumped out, stood on the shaft of the carriage, and shouted to the officers and soldiers following behind: "I just said that you must believe in the Holy One!"
The officers and soldiers instantly burst into cheers!
Lu Bing looked at it and confirmed again that Qin Dewei's main thought was indeed to be a good person.
But Wang Zongbing was dumbfounded. The situation was too strange and the changes were too fast, beyond his imagination.
The previous imperial edict of dismissal was caused by a request from Guo Xun and others, so the approval of the imperial edict was first transmitted to Guo Xun.
The imperial edict of Qin Dewei's reinstatement originated from the victory report written by "Lu Bing" at the post station, so this edict was sent directly to Zhenqiangbao without taking a detour through Datong.
Qin Dewei suddenly shouted: "Get Wang Sheng!"
Before General Wang could react, another man flew over and threw General Wang from his horse to the ground.
Then Lu Bing stepped forward personally and held Wang Sheng's neck with a steel knife.
Just as the soldiers brought by General Wang were trying to save people, Qin Dewei said loudly: "I have the right to act expediently!
In extraordinary times, we have to do this. If you dare to obstruct it, it will be regarded as rebellion!"
Wang Sheng, who was pinned to the ground, shouted angrily: "Qin Dewei, how dare you avenge yourself!"
Qin Dewei shouted: "You really thought that your bribery of An Da was so seamless that no one knew about it? The general actually colluded with the foreigners. Isn't this an extraordinary thing, so what is it?"
Wang Sheng was stunned, how did Qin Dewei know?
Qin Dewei said to the five hundred Qingqi brought by Wang Sheng: "Wang Sheng's move is regarded as rebellion! If you don't draw a clear line with Wang Sheng, you will be dragged down sooner or later in the future!"
Then Qin Dewei ordered him to return to the inn and ask Lu Bing to interrogate Wang Sheng. He also sent an order to the camp to pull out all the troops tomorrow and march together in harmony!
Today's coding situation is really bad, and adding more updates is also worrying. After thinking about it, I can only write more when I get up at five in the morning. Please pray for me!
