"You also know that the good thing now is because of Xiong Jinglu. But the chaos in the DPRK and China is like that, who knows when, Xiong Jingluo will not be able to stay? You still have to plan everything by yourself, you have money in your pocket, and you don't panic in your heart, that's it. Xu Pingong, Wang Xing, I will be gone, you can help me send a few sentences. Tell them that I still have the old rule here, if you earn me ten cents, there will be one of theirs in it, and let them work hard for me. In the future, there will be many more places to count on them! ”

Although Wang Zhi didn't quite believe what Ye Fu said about Xiong Tingbi being transferred away suddenly, Ye Fu gave the reason after all, and he was his boss, so he naturally wouldn't clash with Ye Fu during this period.

immediately agreed, put away a stack of official documents that recorded Ye Fu's opinions, said hello to Ye Fu, and hurried away.

~~

The official office where Ye Fu lives now is left by the previous generations of dangerous mountain generals.

Although it is located in the war-torn Liaodong, it is still built like that. It is enough to see where the large sum of money was used at the beginning.

However, since Ye Fu settled in, he thought that a person didn't need such a big house to live in, so he made great changes to the original housing function.

From the gate to the Yimen, there is a courtyard on the east and west sides of the road, it doesn't matter what the function used to be, anyway, it has now been divided by Ye Fu into the second and third outposts of the pro-military camp. Among them, the second outpost on the west side coexists with the military prison, and the third outpost on the east side has built the courtyard into a small school field for daily training.

After passing through the Yi Gate, the courtyard on the west side is now the office space of the food and salary office, the ordnance office, the new training office, the selection office and other departments under the control of Wang Zhi and his subordinates, and the courtyard on the east side is arranged as a accommodation place for these people during the office period. These office workers, except for the days when they have a 10-day rest, are never allowed to leave the yamen without permission and go home to live.

Wang Zhi was very strict in these aspects, and often reprimanded his subordinates for some trivial things that were originally indifferent. Everyone works in the same room, which always makes people feel very depressed. Therefore, in private, it is often evaluated as too strict and impersonal.

After the instrument gate, there is the former lobby, the second hall, and the third hall. In addition to the special role and symbolic significance of the lobby in this era, Ye Fu did not rebuild it wantonly, but left it in its original state and stayed away. The second and third halls in the back have already been changed beyond recognition by him.

The second hall was used as the location of his daily office, which was similar to the suite office of later generations. The middle hall was converted into a conference room, the west wing was converted into his signing room, and on the east side, there was a small meeting room and a lounge.

According to normal functions, Santang was originally supposed to be Ye Fu's personal space, such as the inner study, but now it has been changed to Xu Gaozhuo's office location.

It's just that Xu Gaozhuo and Wang Zhi are obviously different, he attaches great importance to the dignity of his superiors and subordinates, and he can't do such a thing as working in the same room with his subordinates. As a result, the main hall was left entirely for his own office and residence, while the east and west wings were his subordinate departments.

Such an arrangement is also convenient for Ye Fu to deal with affairs. After all, Xu Gaozhuo's inner study office is located in Santang, and Wang Zhi's subordinate experience office is located outside the lobby, and if he wants to meet Ye Fu, it is just a matter of a few steps. Compared with the chaotic arrangement in the past, it is much more convenient to act.

After three halls, it is the inner house. Among them, the first outpost of Ye Fu's pro-military camp is stationed, and there is also a team of men who are responsible for the food of everyone in the entire General Staff. Speaking of which, in the entire General Office, the only woman is the maid who was hidden by Ye Fujin's house, Ma Xiaoyue.

In addition to the buildings on the middle road, there are also cross-courtyards on the east and west sides. Naturally, these two cross-courtyards were not spared, and they were also changed by Ye Fu according to his own wishes.

Among them, the east road was placed as the new school site of the current dangerous mountain martial arts school, while the west road is lined with stables of the general office and various warehouses belonging to the army, as well as a large school field used for regular training in the pro-military barracks.

It's just that although he became a general, his living conditions were much better than before, and he could do whatever he wanted, and he also divided a clear scope of rights and responsibilities for his subordinates, but the heavy degree of Ye Fu's daily office did not decrease much. On the contrary, because of the proximity, from morning to night every day, there is an endless stream of things that he needs to deal with and people he needs to see in person.

Here, as soon as Wang Zhi left, Ma Denglong came in to report that Xu Gaozhuo had brought Lu Ding from the Chinese army.

Ye Fu naturally ordered the two to come in, and as soon as he looked up, the faces of the two made Ye Fu feel a sigh in his heart.

"My lord, I just received news that a batch of grain transported back by the horse team of the Great Banner Merchant Bank was robbed near Phoenix." Xu Gaozhuo's face was very heavy, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he asked Ye Fu, "The guy who came back from the horse team to report the news is waiting outside the door, do you want to see him?" ”

Ye Fu was first shocked when he heard the news, and then said: "Presumably you have already understood what happened, I will disappear first, so you can simply talk about it." ”

"Yes." Xu Gaozhuo responded, "The student also just learned the news that our horse team was robbed by a group of stray soldiers near Phoenix City. The gang was so vicious that they robbed the horses and the food, and then killed them all on the spot. ”

"Since you killed everything, what's the matter with the guy who reported the news?" Ye Fu asked.

Xu Gaozhuo replied: "The student has asked briefly, and that guy is timid by nature. Although Shi was also injured, the injuries were not serious. After being injured, he was afraid of being killed, so he took advantage of the chaos to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. Xu was that the gang didn't check carefully, so they let him escape. It's just that his life was saved, but his leg is estimated to be lame. ”

Close call~~

Ye Fu gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "If you rob the grain, you must also rob the horse, you say he was injured in the leg?" A lame man, how did he come here after such a long journey? ”

Xu Gaozhuo replied: "This student also learned about it, but it was a coincidence. The place where he was attacked was not far from Phoenix, and he was thinking of going to Phoenix City to find the garrison for help, but he accidentally met the men under Officer Meng. Explain the reason, and learn that it is your person, and he was brought back. ”

Ye Fu became more and more confused when he heard this, scratched his head, and ordered outward: "Denglong, go to the front and call Meng Shi over." ”

"Yes." Ma Denglong agreed, and after a short time, Meng Shi hurriedly followed him.

"My lord, your name is lowly?" Meng Shi stood in front of Ye Fu and bowed respectfully with his hands.

Ye Fu nodded and said, "There's a guy outside, you see?" It is said that your men brought it back, do you know about it? ”

Meng Shi replied, "Yes, my lord, this is indeed the case. He was ordered by his lord to supervise the castles of the dangerous mountains and keep an eye on all disturbances. It was only half a month ago that I received a report that I found that there was a group of wanderers near Phoenix. It is not known where this group of stray soldiers came from, but it is known that the leader of the group is extremely fierce and cunning. At first, he only robbed passers-by, and then he simply dared to attack the lone military squad. Recently, the lowly official sent someone to investigate his whereabouts and information, and prepared to sort out and report. The lowly subordinate also learned that the horse team of the merchant had been robbed while on a mission, and rescued the fellow. ”

"Well, I see." Ye Fu nodded and asked him, "Now, what else do you know besides these?" A gang of stray soldiers? How much power? If you dare to touch my things, you can also say that he probably doesn't know that the team is mine. How dare you attack the army? How bold are they? ”

Meng Shi said: "I think that from the information that I already know, that group of stray soldiers probably knows that the horse team is related to you. It's just that the left army of Phoenix City is now a little tired from being harassed by them, and they may have nothing to fear because of this. ”

"Fearless?" Ye Fu laughed angrily, "It's good that he has no fear!" What else? Said it all together. ”

"Yes." Meng Shi agreed, and continued, "Although I don't know where this group of stray soldiers originally came from, based on the information gathered, it can be guessed that they seem to have escaped from Houjin's territory. Along the way, they have been living by plundering and coercing the people, and now they have developed into more than 100 people. Most of them are cavalry, and the horses are probably all robbed, and I heard that the skills are very good. The leader is young, his name is Geng Zhongming~~"

"What?" Hearing this name, Ye Fu was immediately surprised.

Geng Zhongming? Could it be the Geng Zhongming he knows?
