Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 32 The Commander
At dawn, a sudden roar of horse hooves broke the tranquility of Beicheng.
The cavalry consisted of five in front and five in back, a total of ten people, guarding a middle-aged man in the middle. They were wearing light armor and had long swords hanging from their waists. They were all dressed as forbidden soldiers. The middle-aged man wore a hooded cloak, completely covering his face.
At this time, there was no one on the street. A group of people galloped by on horseback, passing by like a strong wind. With a clear goal, they went straight to the Shayuan Prison Yamen. There was no one in front of the Yamen, and two lanterns were hung on the corners of the eaves, giving off a dim light.
Instead, there are a pair of majestic stone lions, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the gate of Shayuan Prison.
The cavalry stopped, still maintaining a vigilant posture. The middle-aged man urged the horses lightly and walked to the steps. He looked up at the majestic plaque, bowed and bowed his hands to show respect. Above the plaque, there was a silver-hook iron painting,
The three golden characters of Shayuanjian in the Dashu were written by Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of this dynasty.
"Go and call the door." The middle-aged man said softly.
Immediately, a guard got off his horse, took a few steps up the steps, and banged on the door.
"Who is it?" After a while, someone inside spoke very impatiently.
"Commander, please open the door quickly." The guard shouted sternly.
"You said Shuai Si is Shuai Si?" The man in the door was disturbed from his sweet dream, and he woke up angry. After hearing Shuai Si, he immediately came back. How could Shuai Si come to this small place like Shayuan Prison?
I don't believe it.
"Damn you." The guard who called the door was annoyed and kicked the door. "The boss is here on business, how can I allow you to be delayed? If you don't open the door quickly, you will be careful about your life."
Hearing the harsh words outside the door, the concierge muttered a little. He slowly opened a crack and wanted to peek out. Unexpectedly, the guard outside the door was impatient and kicked on the door. The door suddenly opened, and with a
With a huge momentum, he hit the concierge. He exclaimed "Ah!" and fell to the ground like a gourd.
The guard was annoyed with the concierge, so he quickly came in, grabbed the concierge by his collar, and punched him.
"Stop." The middle-aged man entered the gate and shouted unhappily. He walked slowly to the concierge, knelt down and took a look. The concierge received two punches, his eye sockets were black, his nose was broken, and he was bleeding continuously.
.
"Do you know who is in charge of the prison?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I know, I know." The concierge shrank, he was really scared after being beaten.
"Go now and ask the prison guard to come here." The middle-aged man said, stood up and walked into the lobby.
"Hurry up and go." The concierge moved a little slowly and was kicked in the butt by the guard.
"Yes, yes." The porter shrank his neck and ran quickly to report the news.
He went straight into the court, and the middle-aged man stood there without saying a word. The guards had already lit the lights, and then silently retreated, standing guard outside the court door. In an instant, the middle-aged man turned against the guests and occupied the court. Ten forbidden soldiers
He has a tall and straight figure, holding a knife on his waist, with a cold expression and a hint of evil aura, which makes the court guard impervious to wind and rain.
The middle-aged man stood quietly with his back to the door, waiting for the prisoner to arrive.
Fei Boyan was woken up with a splitting headache. Last night, he, Lei Bin and Yao Pingyuan discussed the matter with Lei Bin and Yao Pingyuan until midnight before finalizing the charter. It was impossible to completely separate the relationship. Fortunately, Xiaoqi
The people in the battalion still know the importance of the situation and are not eager to arrest them. They cover it in their hands, and there is still room for maneuver.
The Langshan bandit incident involves Shayuanjian, Dali, Heyang, Chengcheng, and Yongji. It is impossible to handle it with the Shayuanjian family. Only by reporting it to Tongzhou and Jingzhao Prefecture and making careful coordination can unified action be taken.
, captured in one fell swoop, giving the Langshan bandits no chance to escape. Once they slip through the net and escape, trying to catch them again will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
That night, Yao Pingyuan took the lead and wrote down the details of the case and sent someone to deliver it overnight.
The remaining thing is to supervise the Xiaoqi battalion to secretly investigate and closely monitor the Langshan bandits lurking in Shayuan Prison. At the same time, it is strictly ordered not to alert the enemy before unified action.
Of course, there is their plan in this. The confession provided by the Xiaoqi camp records the list of lurkers, their last names, male or female, where they are lurking, and who they are related to. It is clearly stated. Look at this list
, Fei Boyan and the three of them were frightened. Because among the three of them on the list, there were Langshan bandits lurking in their homes.
There are even some people who, because they are extremely capable, are entrusted with important tasks and gain considerable trust.
These people lurking around us must be eliminated secretly and must not be exposed.
Looking at the list, Fei Boyan couldn't believe it, but also felt regretful and distressed. Because one of his concubines was also on the list. The concubine was only twenty years old. She was naturally charming and charming, and she was loved by Fei Boyan.
Now that he was about to get rid of it, he felt entangled in his heart and was extremely reluctant to let go. He kept sighing.
Yao Pingyuan was also looking for him in the list, but he was not looking for his own family, but the Qin family.
There were two Langshan bandits hiding among his bodyguards. Yao Pingyuan was shocked and didn't care much. They were just bodyguards, so they could just get rid of them. But the Qin family was clean, which made him suspicious. The matter was detected by Xiaoqiying.
It is not impossible for the protector to erase the list of hidden names in the Qin family and clear up Qin Yutian's suspicions.
However, since he had no evidence, he could not have an attack. Moreover, it was not a good time to cause trouble in such troubled times.
"That old boy is really cheap." Yao Pingyuan was angry and put the matter aside for the time being.
It was already late at night when all the plans were made. Not long after Fang fell asleep, he was woken up again. Fei Boyan felt annoyed, rubbed his temples, and allowed his concubine to dress him.
"It's not yet dawn, what happened?" Faber asked unhappily.
"A message has been sent from the Yamen, saying that the commander-in-chief is here for business, please come immediately." A boy replied outside the door.
"Here comes the handsome man?" Fei Boyan was excited and stood up immediately.
No need to ask, it must have happened. Fei Boyan smiled bitterly, he had already expected Shuai Si's arrival, and even waited for it every day. Ever since Liu Zihao was arrested, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
At first, Liu Zihao took the Commander-in-Chief card and claimed to be looking for people in Shayuan. Fei Boyan and Yao Pingyuan both looked at the Commander-in-Chief card and turned a blind eye and gave them great care. Later, Liu Zihao
The lawless killings and arson aroused public outrage, and the Shayuan Supervisory Office also fell into collective silence.
In this era, the so-called imperial power does not extend to the counties, and local officials have great power. Especially the Shayuan Supervisor, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Capital Group and Animal Husbandry.
They have no power and power and cannot make any waves. As for the Xiang army, their lives are in the hands of the officials. Who dares to kill them?
However, the development of things was beyond Faber Yan's expectation.
Xiaoqiying was dispatched for no apparent reason and arrested Liu Zihao and his entourage for poisoning an official horse.
Poisonous fern and the kidnapped Cui couple were found at the scene, and the evidence was conclusive.
At the beginning of the incident, Fei Boyan thought about rescuing him in order to please Shuai Si in exchange for benefits. He sent Yao Pingyuan to Xiaoqi camp to negotiate, and the result was self-evident. According to Xiaoqi camp, Liu Zihao was suspected of Xixia fine work, which belonged to the military
Shayuan Supervisor has no right to interfere with the jurisdiction. Yao Pingyuan's official authority is not easy to use in Chang Wanli.
By the way, Chang Wanli had already sent a letter home, pointing out that Liu Zihao was causing trouble, how could he let him go?
Fei Boyan pondered for a long time, hesitating and refusing to go out.
"Go and inform Lei and Yao," Fei Boyan ordered, "Just tell Shuai Si that someone is here."
If something happens, let's all fight together, and no one should shrink back. This was Fei Boyan's plan.
After ordering someone to hitch a carriage, Fei Boyan went out slowly. It was already bright and he finally arrived at the yamen gate. When he looked over, he saw Lei Bin and Yao Pingyuan, who had just gotten off the carriage. As if they had made an appointment, the three of them came at the same time.
When they arrived, they exchanged glances, their faces suddenly became solemn, and they all walked towards the lobby.
In the middle of the lobby, a middle-aged man is sitting sideways, holding a book in his hand, reading with gusto.
"May I ask who this is?" Fei Boyan asked respectfully.
"In front of the commander-in-chief's tent, it is advisable to write down the rules and regulations clearly." The guard at the side said loudly.
"I've seen the opportunity." The three of them felt bright and clasped their fists before seeing it.
"Haha." Liu Liang laughed loudly, stood up quickly, and cupped his fists in greeting. "How dare Liu, a staff member, accept such a gift from all of you? I feel ashamed to deserve it. I feel ashamed to deserve it." He rushed over and held Fei Boyan's arm.
"Ji Yi praised military aircraft and his extraordinary strategies. We have heard about it for a long time and have been fascinated by it for a long time."
"You have worked hard to herd horses for the imperial court and have done a great job. Liu admires you very much."
........
The so-called bridal sedan chair carries people, a set of procedures in official circles, and a few people sit down to serve tea.
"My nephew Hao came here before. Thank you for your kindness. Liu would like to thank you." Liu Liang stood up and gave a salute to the three of them. Fei Boyan and the other three quickly stood up and returned the salute, saying that they did not dare.
When they turned around and sat down, the three people's hidden gazes touched each other and quickly looked away. They had only heard about Liu Liang and had never met him. However, just from the thank you just now, they could tell that this person was
The city is quite deep, and everything is done smoothly and without leakage. He is a very troublesome person.
"Liu Jiyi forgives me, my nephew's matter is related to the military, and I can't get involved."
As soon as Lei Bin sat down, he stood up and said with a look of helplessness on his face. He wanted to tell Liu Liang that it wasn't that we didn't take good care of him, but that your nephew's crime was too big and we couldn't control it.
"I wonder if my little nephew Hao has ever had any trouble with Xiaoqiying?"
Hearing these words, Yao Pingyuan's eyelids twitched. Liu Liang's words were very particular.
If Liu Zihao was said to be a meticulous artist, no one present believed it. What kind of style did Liu Zihao do? All three of them had seen it before. Especially Yao Pingyuan's son Yao Gang, who was the waiter in front of and behind the horse. To put it mildly, he was a playboy spoiled by his family.
; If we put it more seriously, he is just a bastard. Would such a person be a good person?
However, Liu Zihao's crime was all about meticulous work, and the evidence was conclusive.
When Liu Liang asked this question, he was using his power to suppress others, waiting for the three of them to express their stance.
Liu Zihao's matter cannot be argued and can only be turned over. Because the two parties have a feud, Xiaoqiying framed Liu Zihao. The so-called Xixia meticulous work and poisoning of officials and horses can all be overturned. In this way, this matter has
If you have room for maneuver and operate in secret, you can easily get away with it.
Moreover, he beat him up and made Xiaoqiying look like shit.
Mobilize troops, use private vendettas to frame good people, and punish them with exile.
This move can be described as extremely cruel.
However, if Liu Liang wants to succeed, he needs the cooperation of Supervisor Shayuan to jointly testify against Xiaoqiying. With three civil servants testifying, does it matter whether there is evidence or not? Xiaoqiying has to swallow it even if he knows it is shit. Yao Pingyuan's heart pounded and he could not move.
He glanced at Fei Boyan lewdly. How to deal with it depends on Fei Boyan's instructions.
"As far as I know, the Xiaoqi Battalion has sent people to Beijing more than ten days ago." Fei Boyan lowered his eyes and said calmly. This was telling Liu Liang that the matter could no longer be suppressed and had been reported to the capital long ago.
It’s Beijing.
"Ma Junsi has his own disposal." Liu Liang took a sip of tea and said.
Xiaoqiying sent people to Beijing, and Liu Liang had already figured it out. Catching Xixia Xizuo was naturally a great achievement. How could he not show his merit to his superiors? Therefore, as soon as he learned the news, Liu Liang arranged for people to rush on.
Go straight to the capital. Use connections when you need to, spend money when you need to, and be sure to bribe Ma Junsi.
"I don't know what the opportunity is. The capital of the Xiaoqi camp is Yuhou Chang Wanli, and he is the Chang family in the capital."
"The Chang family in the capital?" Liu Liang was finally moved.
