Hu Zhonggui's eyes suddenly became sharp, and half of his face seemed to have been melted by fire, which looked very terrifying.
In the past six months, water transportation in the direction of Sanchakou has been frequently delayed. Hu Zhonggui, who was both patrolling and in charge of Gouhe Bridge, saw this situation and became very angry. He sent manpower to the scene several times and arrested some assassins.
Head, and those who make a lot of noise among them will be killed without mercy.
Various laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still being formulated in an intensive manner. The rules and regulations that are followed daily are still the same as those of the previous Jin Dynasty. In some places, they are even worse.
For example, the system of the Jin Dynasty stipulates that state and county officials are allowed to make exclusive decisions in various conflicts and lawsuits. This is tantamount to allowing local officials to control the judiciary and even murder. After the arrival of Taihe, there were constant armies in the north and the south, and various provinces established Shangshu Provinces.
The government, even those who take advantage of it, take advantage of it, and accuse others, can kill people at an advantage. The saying that human life is as cheap as grass is definitely not an empty lie.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded on warriors, and the old soldiers whose murderous intent had not faded filled the government offices everywhere. They had meritorious service, and they had the people who had gone through life and death together to help each other. Many of them were in the emperor's heart, and they could even talk to the emperor.
The way they act naturally follows the army's rule of killing if they don't agree. As long as they feel it is right, they will do it without hesitation.
Hu Zhonggui has always used strict means to control rivers, water transportation and surrounding security, and has never been afraid of being tough. To a certain extent, water transportation is so critical that it can only be in the hands of a loyal warrior like him. His approach is ordinary.
Colleagues can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and even if they are sentenced to death, the Procuratorate will not dare to accuse him easily.
Why does it seem to Li Yun that I have violated national law? It seems that I, Mr. Hu, are responsible for the troubles in the past few months? Rather, it seems that I, Mr. Hu, intend to cause trouble and are disloyal to the emperor?
Hu Zhonggui was angry in his heart and glared at Li Yun fiercely.
After staring at Li Yun for a long time, his face hurt. The smile on Li Yun's face did not change at all, and his expression seemed relaxed.
Such a ferocious posture is of no use in front of Li Yun.
Hu Zhonggui was Li Ting's disciple and was like a personal minister. When he saw Li Yun back then, it was natural for him to call him "little master". Isn't it possible that he can get a big deal just because he does an inspection now?
Besides, Li Yun himself is also a ruthless character, as everyone knows!
Hu Zhonggui snorted and relaxed slightly.
He walked back and forth twice and said in a deep voice: "In the past two years, I have been training native soldiers here for Yousi. On any day, I am not allowed to pick out thorns or fools and give them a dozen whips? If you see me feeling unhappy,
, it is not impossible to kill a few people on the spot. As for killing a few people to calm down the chaos, is it too much? If you don’t kill, how can you shock them? How can you make them understand the rules? This is still the case after killing to shock. If you don’t kill, will the situation become better?
?”
"There are some things where going too far is not enough." Li Yun shook his head.
"Strict military laws are used in the army. We old brothers have long been accustomed to it, and we try our best to bear it. Although you are more ruthless to the local soldiers, archers, and soldiers, they understand that they will have enough food to eat with us.
The future is bright, so I can endure it. In the past few years, local governments have had money in their hands and have treated the local soldiers well. After the local soldiers you have trained are assigned to various government offices, they first receive financial rewards to relax.
Don’t you know?”
Hu Zhonggui sneered twice.
Li Yun continued: "You should be relaxed and relaxed when dealing with local soldiers, but do you really think it is right to treat those civilians harshly? They are all ordinary people! You understand military law, but they don't. What's wrong with that? Is that right? Do you think the delay in grain transportation is of great concern and they don’t care, which is excessive?”
He took two steps forward and asked: "Brother Hu, I remember when I was in the army, because your superiors wronged you and gave you a military stick, you fought hard and killed people and fled... Why are you now an official? Why are ordinary people's demands so high? Have you changed? Or have you..."
Before Li Yun finished speaking, Hu Zhonggui shouted: "At this time, Your Majesty is leading the army to attack the Tatars! Food transportation is so important! Whoever dares to delay is a rebel! Rebels deserve to die! Kill a few rebels and count them all. fart!"
He yelled too fiercely, spitting out his mouth, and bits and pieces of it hit Li Yun's face.
Li Yun said "Hey", wiped his face, and took two steps forward. He was almost touching Hu Zhonggui's face, and his tone became more severe:
"Who has the final say about who is a rebel? You? Who do you say is a rebel? Who is a rebel? What is your evidence? Why are the people complaining and being lazy? If you complain and are lazy, you are a rebel. Just now those idiots If all the soldiers complain, do they have to be killed? As a local patrol officer, your official position is high enough. If your official position is high enough, you can do whatever you want. Then, as a doctor in the left and right department, how can I be better than you as a patrol inspector? I If you are said to be a rebel, how will you treat me?"
Hu Zhonggui shouted: "I am not a rebel!"
"Citizens and leaders are dissatisfied. The completion of the Caohe Wharf has been delayed indefinitely. Many parties are involved, making the water muddy. Doesn't this have anything to do with you? Since you are responsible for the relationship, you must take responsibility. Since you are responsible for the delay in water transportation Responsibility, am I wrong to say you are a rebel?"
Hu Zhonggui clenched his hands into fists: "I am doing it for the imperial court! To protect His Majesty's expedition!"
He looks ferocious, is tall, and his roar is very scary.
But Li Yun is someone who will not be afraid of him no matter what.
Li Yun sneered repeatedly and poked his finger on Hu Zhonggui's forehead, exerting all his strength: "Then think about it, what will Your Majesty think of this matter? If Your Majesty were here and saw the reed marsh at Sanchakou, Will those civil servants who were framed and killed by you think that you are a traitor?"
Hu Zhonggui's forehead suddenly fell back, and Li Yun pushed him again, causing him to stumble back.
"Think about it, didn't we people have the same muddy legs in our early years? Aren't we all furious when the officials of the imperial court shouted at us? Do you think you are on the emperor's side by doing this? But have you ever thought about what kind of person our Emperor is? Which side will the Emperor stand on?"
Hu Zhonggui was stunned.
In an instant, all his arrogance disappeared, and his whole person seemed to shrink a few inches.
In the army, he was Li Ting's sidekick. He was always at a disadvantage in terms of commanders and defense officers. However, the rules of the army were extremely strict. In the final analysis, he was just a guard leader.
After retiring from the army, he served as an inspector of important areas in Gyeonggi Province. Although his position was low, he had great authority. When he went in and out every day, he saw crowds of people bowing down, and he felt spiritual expansion. This kind of mastery came naturally. Power, the pleasure of killing ants, was something he had never experienced before.
So what he did these days was partly following the habits of the military, and partly driven forward by this feeling.
Is what he did wrong? According to the law, maybe it is. Even if it is a little harsh, it is still within the scope of his authority. He uses strong means to maintain rules and order, all out of public interest.
But the result of these actions was to trigger a series of subsequent conflicts. Now it seems that the impact of all kinds of bad things is not small, so much so that even the right and left ministers have personally intervened.
Li Yunruo firmly pursues the responsibility, what can Hu Zhonggui do?
Li Yun felt that Hu Zhonggui was wrong, so what position did he have to argue?
Hu Zhonggui had followed Li Ting for a long time and was also familiar with Guo Ning's character in private. He didn't need to think too much to determine that Guo Ning wouldn't like officials showing off to the people, and hated the officials of the Zhou Dynasty becoming like the officials of the Jin Dynasty. The emperor even more
It cannot be tolerated that someone used the wrong means to mess up things!
Suddenly an idea flashed in Hu Zhonggui's mind.
"No! No!" he shouted.
"What's wrong!" Li Yun's voice was higher than his. Although he was half a head shorter, he almost looked down on him.
Hu Zhonggui was so tyrannical just now, but now he was so shaken. He was sweating profusely and kept saying:
"It was cold earlier, and the civil servants were clamoring for more money and food. Some of the leaders actually violated national and military laws! But although I am a bit rough in my work, I will not have to take action on some civil servant leaders!
I finally decided to kill for another reason!"
"what reason?"
"At that time, someone came to me for a drink and told me that a few years ago, the imperial court indulged the leaders of the sea, which resulted in a big incident. It almost disturbed the emperor and almost killed Marshal Wang Shixian... Therefore, we must not deal with such greedy people.
Qingrao, you must kill the chicken to scare the monkey, take precautions and nip it in the bud!”
"Do you just listen to whoever feeds you two ounces of yellow soup?" Li Yun couldn't help scolding.
"I don't trust others gullibly, but firstly, what he said was reasonable; secondly, that person told me several times; thirdly, that person had an unusual identity, and his words were quite weighty..."
"Stop talking nonsense, who is that person?"
"Yes Yes……"
"Speak quickly!" Li Yun shouted violently.
"Yes...ahem, yes, it belongs to our Marshal Li..."
Hu Zhonggui lowered his voice and said his name. Li Yun was stunned when the words came into his ears.
After a while, he tapped Hu Zhonggui's chest: "Brother Hu, please be more restrained these days and don't worry about other things. If you have any official duties that you are still doing, think carefully about whether you can stand on your own."
Hu Zhonggui had a bitter look on his face. When he was about to say more, Li Yun turned around and left.
He strode to the door of the Inspection Department. Several soldiers guarding the door saw that his face was ashen and quickly moved away from him.
The old soldier Shang Qi patted the dust on his body, came up to him and asked, "Mr. Zhong, what do you want to ask me?"
"I really got involved with my brother!"
Li Yun gritted his teeth and got on his horse: "Everyone, don't spare your efforts and accompany me back to the city... Let's go to the Qun Mu Division!"
"Ah?" Shang Qi was shocked: "Qun Mu Si? Isn't that, ahem, Shi Sansao, that woman really didn't bite randomly?"
When Ding Haijun was rising, the biggest source of money was the sale of horses from the northeastern hinterland to the Southern Dynasties, with huge profits at least a hundred times greater. The name that made the money was Guo Ning, who came to Qunmu from the Jin Dynasty court.
The official position of prosecutor was Li Yun.
In fact, Li Yun was not a horse-raising official, and the Qunmu Institute was not only engaged in the horse business. However, many positions under the Qunmu Institute had been closed off one after another to win over many foreign chiefs in the Northeast, so the priorities were later changed.
No name.
Under the Marshal's Mansion, which directly controls the army, there is a Qunhu Division with a similar name, which is the official place for raising military horses. The commander of the Qunhu Division is also an old man from Ding Haijun, and his name is Wang Kou'er. This Wang Si
Guan also has another identity, that is, the father-in-law of Marshal Li Ting of Guanzhong!
Li Yun was urging the horse, and Shang Qi stepped forward and took the reins: "Mr. Zhong! Are you really going to go to the Qun Mu Division so aggressively? If this matter gets serious, God knows what kind of trouble it will cause! Should we take a long-term plan..."
"release!"
Li Yun hit Shang Qi on the back of his hand with a whip: "You just come with me!"
Several horses rushed away. Dozens of subordinates of the left and right departments did not dare to neglect, either riding horses or running to follow. The last ones were the swordsmen from Japan. They wore wooden clogs and ran while running.
There was a loud crackling sound, but the speed could not be increased, and everyone was so anxious that their faces turned red and their necks thickened.
Li Yun's purpose of coming to Tianjin Mansion this time was not a secret. His exploration and handling in Liukou and Sanchakou yesterday were very smooth. But just one day later, he suddenly became so impatient that he led a large team of people from
From the west of the city to the east of the city, from the east of the city to the Hekou Inspection Department outside the city, leaving the Inspection Department and hurried back to the city, to the unrelated Qunmu Department...
This situation fell into the eyes of many people.
When Li Yun came out of the Qun Mu Division not long after and ran towards the next target, people from different origins followed behind his team. There were even people on the other side of the Xin'an Sea parallel to the direction he was running.
Decorated from a distance.
In the Tianjin Mansion, which was originally running normally, people were asking each other and exchanging messages. There was obvious restlessness in some places. It was not clear whether they were convening, dismissing, appeasing or pressuring.
It was getting late, and another dusk was approaching. The special movements seemed to bring about special interlacing of lights and shadows, so that the entire atmosphere of Tianjin Mansion became weird.
The commanding heights of Tianjin Prefecture are not far from Sanchakou, the convex-shaped Tufu Highlands where the Zhigu Village was established. However, many warehouses and shops that were originally gathered on the highlands have now been scattered to newly opened urban areas and highlands far and near.
It all became a military fortress and the palace of the Zhou emperor.
At this time, on a tall pavilion in the palace, Guo Ning looked out and sighed deeply: "It's really a big deal!"
The cold wind outside poured in through the half-opened window. Guo Ning was shirtless and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He immediately shrank down and completely buried his body in the hot water of the bathtub.
Lu Han rolled up his sleeves, closed the window with one hand, and slapped the steaming towel on Guo Ning's face with the other: "Don't move! The mud on your face has formed a crust! You have to wipe it hard!"
"
The Ge scarf moved back and forth on Guo Ning's face, causing Guo Ning's head to shake, and his voice to speak suddenly louder and softer: "Ahan, I won the battle at Wushabao this time because I disrupted the Mongols' pace.
A key move, worthy of gathering to celebrate! This battle made many Mongolians in awe. In order to properly recruit them, there should be a ceremony! Also, Ah Shu welcomed back the old man in our family. Between you and me, in Zhongdu
In the eyes of the ministers, it is also a major event that should be celebrated, right? But you see, I didn’t care about anything and had to rush here to deal with the scattered people in the army!"
"Don't move, don't move!"
Lu Han grabbed Guo Ning's hair and wiped Guo Ning's ears with a scarf: "It's good that the Recording Department and the Left and Right Department are both reliable. It's worth celebrating! As for what distracts people's hearts... Hey, I don't necessarily see you.
When you become the emperor, you can make everyone think the same as you? Dream on!"
Guo Ning said dissatisfiedly: "The great enemy is Mongolia! How can this be shaken?"
"In the early years, everyone was killed by the Mongolian army. The enemy was not Mongolia. Now you are the emperor, and you have the final say. You seem to have the final say as to who the enemy is. But how are people's hearts, can you have the final say? Now everyone has the final say.
If you gain weight, your life will be better. Why is it surprising that some people think differently than before?"
Lu Han threw the Ge scarf into the water and swung it: "Looking at Li Yun's anxious look, he was really afraid of implicating his brother, so he had to run all night to investigate. However, I know who he would ask.
I know what those people did and what they were trying to do after all the back and forth efforts... Do you want to hear what I have to say?"
Guo Ning suddenly raised his head: "Ahan, tell me!"
