These days, Wang Ye has long been immune to this state of getting along between the two of them. He only turned his head and asked Wang Xingdao: "You said before that you were from Sanyang Fort, and now we are in Sanyang Fort, should you find a way to prove to me that you are my Daming people, or an inner ghost sent by the Tartars?" ”

As soon as Ye Fu said this, Wang Xing's face suddenly turned pale.

Looking at his bloodless face for a moment, Jin Yichuan seemed to know something, and snorted: "Isn't there no evidence?" Or are you just deceiving adults? Are you really an inner ghost sent by the Tartars? ”

"No...... No! Wang Xing panicked and hurriedly waved his hand.

Jin Yichuan glared at him and said, "Dare to say that it's not?" Let me ask you, didn't you say that you are from Aiyang Castle, and there is an elder brother in the family who can testify for you? Tell me, 'Who is your brother?' Do you dare to let the adults call that person over and confront him in the court? ”

Wang Xing was panicked or something, he did have something unspeakable, and he didn't mean to deceive. But now, if he doesn't tell the truth, I'm afraid that not only Jin Yichuan, who has always looked at him unpleasantly, but even Ye Fu will never let him go easily.

He really had no other choice, and in desperation, he finally told the truth.

"My lord, the villain really didn't mean to deceive you. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and if the villain didn't say that, I was afraid that he would die at your hands at that time. Therefore, the villain can only make this decision. When Wang Xing said this, Jin Yichuan was already ready to move. Ye Fu glanced over, asked him to calm down for the time being, and motioned for Wang Xing to finish speaking. Wang Xing hurriedly continued, "The villain said at the time that the villain was from Sanyang Castle, and he was not wrong. It is also true that there is a brother in the family. Moreover, the elder brother is now in the Castle of Sanyang, and even today, the adults have seen him. It's just that the villain feels that he must not want to recognize the villain. ”

"Make it up!" Jin Yichuan scolded in a low voice, and he was about to have a seizure.

Ye Fu squinted at Wang Xing and asked, "You say, I saw him today?" Xu is Mr. Shen Qian introduced me to more people today, but I don't have an impression of which person is like your brother. ”

"Your Excellency, you misunderstood." Wang Xing explained, "The villain's family is not a military household, and no one is in the army. My brother is the experience of the Ya Experience Department of the Garrison Department of Sanyang Fort, and he is a literati, and he did not mention my brother when Shen Qian introduced him today. ”

"Oh? Experience Division Experience? A thin figure flashed in Ye Fu's mind, and now that he thinks about it, that person is really similar to Wang Xing in front of him, "What's your brother's name?" ”

Wang Xing hurriedly replied, "Brother Wang Zhi." ”

Ye Fu nodded, and instructed Jin Yichuan: "Yichuan, you go and help me invite the experience of the king of the experience." ”

Jin Yichuan was stunned for a moment, "Now? ”

At this time, I'm afraid it's time for everyone to rest. Is it really good to call someone over at this time?

"Of course, the identity of the boss should not disturb people's dreams so late." Ye Fu said, and nodded at Wang Xing beside him with his eyes, "But, isn't this a family reunion?" Naturally, it doesn't matter what time of day. ”

Jin Yichuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly ran out with the order.

~~

Two quarters of an hour later, Jin Yichuan took Wang Zhi to the backyard.

In front of Ye Fu, Wang Zhi, who was dressed in official uniform, bowed and saluted, "The lower officials see your lord." ”

Ye Fu hurriedly stood up, hugged Wang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Wang experience, I'm really sorry to disturb me late at night." ”

Wang Zhi had a calm expression on his face, and only said: "In the Sanyang Military Fort, there are either soldiers and horses under the lord's hands, or people under the lord's rule. Summoned late at night, there must be something important to come, and the lower officials naturally did not dare to delay. Business matters, not to be intrusive. ”

Wang Zhi's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, which is naturally very different from those civil officials who have high eyes. But Ye Fu knew that the civil officials in the civil official yamen naturally had a strong sense of superiority compared to the military generals. But it does not include civil officials like Wang Zhi, who are in the military attache yamen, and their status is actually not high. For the immediate boss, there must be respect, and there is no privilege of being a civil official.

Therefore, Wang Zhi's performance can already be seen that he is still a civil official who takes the literati very seriously.

Ye Fu didn't fight with him, so he pushed Wang Xing and said to Wang Zhi: "I misunderstood Wang Shi, but the matter is not much of a big deal." It's just that on the way here, I encountered such a fine work. I don't know, does Wang Shi know him? ”

Wang Zhi looked at Wang Xing, and his gaze was touched.

Ye Fu smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the brothers are really right.

These two people themselves are similar in appearance, and they belong to the same surname, so it is more likely that they are brothers. And when Ye Fu said that Wang Xing was a meticulous work and asked Wang Zhi to identify him, Wang Zhi did not act like he was facing someone he saw for the first time, but it was very much like he had a grudge against Wang Xing and didn't want to see him.

Leaving Wang Xing's face, Wang Zhi couldn't wait to say to Ye Fu: "If you go back to your lordship, Xia Guan doesn't know this person. ”

"Well, that's really a Tartar." Ye Fu touched his chin and glanced at Wang Xing with some regret. Then, he glanced at Jin Yichuan and said, "Lock him up first, and tomorrow morning, the school will be executed." It was ordered that all officers and soldiers must be present to watch. Chop off the head and hang me on the flagpole for a month! Let's see if the dog tartars dare to send a fine work in the future! ”

Jin Yichuan agreed, stepped forward and pulled Wang Xing. It seems that I don't want to endure it anymore.

Wang Xing was dragged out by Jin Yichuan, and he was so frightened that his courage was about to break, and he screamed and begged for mercy, "My lord, my lord, spare my life!" Adults, villains are not fine, they are really not fine! Elder brother! You save me! I'm your own brother! For mother's sake, you save me! Help me! ”

Jin Yichuan didn't allow him to say more, and the person had already been dragged to the courtyard.

Wang Zhi clenched his fists tightly at his side and trembled slightly, until Wang Xing mentioned 'Niang', he suddenly shouted: "Slow! My lord! Slow down! ”

Ye Fu knew that he had a plan, squinted his eyes, and smiled extremely proudly.

"What? The king has experienced sympathy? Ye Fu smiled and teased Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi lowered his head, as if he was making some difficult decision. After a long time, he sighed and said, "My lord, the lower official has just ...... I'm ashamed. This person is known to Xiaguan, and he is the younger brother of Xiaguan, named Wang Xing. ”

"Oh? It's true? Ye Fu asked, "In that case, why did Wang Shi say just now...... Don't you know? ”

Wang Zhi lowered his head and let out a long sigh, "The lower officials have been trained strictly, studied poetry and books hard, and only wanted to gain fame in the examination, but they only ended up with the experience of the garrison office. If he had known this, he might have used his reading time to teach Wang Xing. His father died early, and his mother doted on Wang Xing too much, which made him develop a lot of bad habits. From a young thief to a dog, don't do your job. I had spent all my time studying, and I was negligent in disciplining him, so I ...... His mother is old, Wang Xingqian is not good, and he is also his favorite son. The lower officials really kicked him out of the house, and from then on, he didn't care whether he lived or died, but he couldn't ignore his mother. ”

"You have filial piety." Ye Fu nodded, sat down on the chair, looked at Wang Zhi and said, "Okay, your story is very touching. However, I am convinced, it is not so easy. After all, small things are no small thing. I want to be responsible for the military and people of the city, and I can't be gullible if you go back on your word like this. ”

"How can an adult trust the lower officials?" Wang Zhi asked with a frown.

He just said the truth, just because of his mother's doting on Wang Xing, Wang Xing ran away from home without saying a word, and ran away without a shadow, which made the old lady cry all the time. If she knew that her beloved youngest son had his head cut off by the new guard, and the reason was that he refused to recognize Wang Xing, then the old lady would have to die of anger on the spot.

Wang Zhi is a dutiful son and would never want to see such a result. But he also knew that from the moment he called a stop, he was already at a disadvantage. Ye Fu will not easily let go of this opportunity to be blackmailed, just look at what he wants.

Ye Fu scratched his head, smiled slyly, and said to Wang Zhi: "Actually, the matter is not without discussion. As long as you promise me two things, I can consider letting Wang Xing go. ”

Although Wang Zhi was anxious, he did not rashly agree, but said cautiously: "The lower official is willing to hear the details." ”

Ye Fu knew that he was guarding against it in his heart, but he really didn't want Wang Zhi to agree to any excessive conditions. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "This first one, I don't think there is any problem. said that it was a discussion and asked you to agree, but in fact, it was just a notice to you. Wang Xing, this kid, I'm afraid it's giving you a headache. Well, I think he's pretty nice to the eye. I want to keep him by my side as a personal soldier, you won't refuse, will you? ”

In those years, there was a lot of recruitment. When the war in Liaodong was urgent, even if he could bring people, he would do it for the officials, and casually throw out the hat of a thousand households. Therefore, arranging a person to be a soldier is really just a gesture for Ye Fu.

Wang Zhi couldn't figure out his idea, so he only said: "Wang Xing has never done anything serious since he was a child. If an adult is willing to take him with him to teach, he will not be able to become a talent in the future, at least it will not be a muddy pool, it is better than him messing around in the countryside. This one, the lower official naturally responded. ”

"Well, that's good." Ye Fu nodded and said, "Then, the second one, it's a little difficult." However, thinking about it, Wang Shi should not refuse to agree to me. ”

Wang Zhi said, "My lord, let's hear it. ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Ye Fu said, "Presumably, you also know about Wang's experience. I'm the first to arrive in Sanyang, and my eyes are black. Who to believe, who not to believe. What to do and what not to do. What is more important, what can be put on hold for the time being, I don't have too many plans in my heart. So, I have a reluctant request. Wang experience, you have been in Sanyang for many years, and you must have a clear understanding of the situation here. I don't know, would you like to be a strategist, a counselor in military affairs, and fill in the gaps. ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi couldn't help frowning.

He has been in Sanyang for many years, and he is an ambitious person, so he naturally has a blueprint, but he has no enthusiasm and cannot be used. He had waited too long for such an opportunity. Waiting for a heart, gradually it has become numb.

Hearing Ye Fu suddenly mention it at this moment, he really couldn't believe his ears. Qiang Zi stabilized his mind, and he asked, "I don't know what your lordship has for the next move of the Yang Military Fort." ”

Ye Fu smiled, "I want you to help me, but you want to test me instead?" Well, I don't really have too much of an idea. It's just that the general direction is there. Today, I followed Mr. Shen Qian to see the military fort, there are many problems, the most serious should be three points, first, the military fort is in disrepair everywhere, and it is urgent to renovate the military fort and dig trenches. Second, the armament is insufficient, and the officers and men of our Sanyang Fort still do not have neat cold-proof military uniforms, the food is insufficient, and the weapons are even more outdated. Third, and most importantly, the morale of the army is weak, the combat effectiveness is low, and the army without morale will lose no matter how it fights, and no matter how it trains, it will be in vain. If these three points can be achieved first, then the rest can be slowly figured out. ”
