The color is a steel knife that scrapes bones, and the wine is a poison that pierces the intestines.

Bloody killing of the enemy on the battlefield, completely fearless in the face of life and death, the fierce and vicious Jurchens looked at nothing, these tough guys with steel and iron bones, but they couldn't withstand the stable wine and beauty, the gambling stalls of Vasher, and the iron bones melted into the gentle township.

Don't say that these soldiers in the army, throughout the ages, princes and generals, heroes and heroes, died because of wine and wealth, and cast hatred for the ages, abound.

The night was dark, there was not a single star in the sky, except for the eye-catching lights on the old city wall of Taiyuan City, the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness.

On the construction site of the new city, there are still some craftsmen busy at work. After more than two months of 10,000 people building, the new city wall has been basically completed, and some houses in the city have also been completed.

Craftsmen are repairing women's walls and lookout holes on top of the walls, while others are smoothing the road surface in all directions.

It has to be said that the construction of the city wall with cement has once again refreshed people's cognitive outlook, more than 50,000 people, just over two months, a new city with a circumference of 30 miles has been completed.

The city wall is towering, the city wall is wide and thick, the city is high and long, solid as gold, looking magnificent, just waiting for the city wall to wrap bricks in the spring of the next year, build the gatehouse, and then carry out the construction of the dwellings in the city, the image of the big city, enough to be proud of the square things.

The new city was built, the city wall of the old city has already been repaired, many houses in the city have also been repaired, the families of the loyal and righteous soldiers and some people around Taiyuan City, the first to live in, but also the old city of Taiyuan, added a lot of popularity.

The weather in early winter is gloomy and gloomy, and the haze is thick. The temperature plummeted, and some follow-up restoration work in Taiyuan New Town had to be stopped.

Compared with the silence and darkness in the city, the front yard of the yamen of the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture is brightly lit at the moment, and the sergeants on duty are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, as if facing a great enemy. The senior generals in the army were pale, coming and going, and the sergeants on patrol were terrified.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the faces of the soldiers in the courtyard were solemn, and everyone was like a boulder on their chests, which made them breathless. The sergeants on guard at the gate all craned their necks and looked into the courtyard to find out what was going on.

"Xianggong, spare your life!"

"Xianggong, the villain has blinded the lard for a while, for the sake of the villain's meritorious service to the thief, spare the villain!"

"Xianggong, the villain is old and young, the family is counting on the villain, Xianggong spares his life!"

Niu Gao saw that Wang Song's face was pale, and hurriedly stepped forward, facing the people who knelt down in the courtyard, and scolded loudly:

"You unscrupulous things, dozens of taels of silver, I bought you, don't you know that the military law is strict, and you don't ask the prime minister for guilt! "

"Brother Niu, you step aside first, this matter is not trivial, and the public has its own conclusion."

Ma Kuo came up and said softly. Niu Gao looked at Wang Song, shook his head and walked away.

Looking at Wang Song's appearance, he also knew that these people might not be able to escape.

"Xianggong, so many brothers, most of them are good men in the army, or they don't fight dozens of military sticks, after all, they are all self-......"

Zhang Heng hadn't finished his words yet, and he had been interrupted by Wang Song.

"Let's just take a few sky-shattering thunders and go home, and the loyal army doesn't exist, do you think?"

Wang Song sat on the chair, his face was pale, and his hands resting on the edge of the chair were shaking from time to time. Zhang Heng's heart was shocked, and he quickly closed his mouth and retreated, and the generals next to him hung their heads and stood solemnly, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

In the courtyard, hundreds of men in different costumes knelt on the ground. Among these people, there are men dressed in black and dressed in rivers and lakes, and there are also loyal and righteous soldiers in armor.

Everyone fell to their knees, and their hearts were extremely worried, and many did not dare to raise their heads.

After a while, Wang Song calmed down, he shook his head lightly, and turned his head to look at Zhang Xian next to him.

"Zhang Xian, it's all been investigated, and all the criminals are here?"

"Xianggong, it's all been investigated. The officers and troops dispatched to arrest a total of 67 bandits in Hutu Mountain, killing 32 of them, and the bandit leaders Wang Long and Wang Hu brothers were arrested, smashed a bandit stronghold in the bazaar, and arrested more than 30 illegal prostitutes. ”

Wang Song nodded, Zhang Xian continued, and the generals next to him were shocked when they listened, and their faces changed drastically.

Judging by the crimes committed by these rats, I am afraid that tonight will be full of heads and blood all over the ground.

"Meng Er and Zhang Ping of the Shengjie Army, carrying a cart of 500 earth-shattering thunderbolts, hid them under the clods of soil, and when they were transported to the woods behind the bazaar, they were arrested at the same time as Wang Hu and others who came to connect, and at the same time 100 taels of gold ingots were found from Wang Hu, which were to be paid to Meng Er."

All the generals exclaimed. 100 gold ingots, 500 earth-shattering thunder, these guys are really shocking, no wonder Xianggong is so angry.

Wang Song looked at the bound crowd, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes. He knew most of the soldiers inside, and the dazzling ones made him even more embarrassed.

"A total of 63 people in the army participated in this matter, and the time was about half a month after our army occupied Taiyuan City. The highest position is the battalion commander, and the rest are deputy commanders, and low-level officers like Dutou are involved. ”

"How many things have been sold?"

"Hui Xianggong, I have carefully checked it! There were more than 2,600 earth-shaking thunderbolts, more than 500 pieces of armor, more than 1,200 long knives, more than 1,400 spears, and more than 50,000 pieces of gold and silver. ”

Hearing Wang Song's inquiry, Zhai Er on the side hurriedly came up and went back.

Wang Song couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes were stunned, and he shook his head gently.

Good guy, in less than three months, such a big gang-style corruption occurred, more than 2,000 earth-shattering thunders, tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is worth it!

"Xianggong, because of the construction of the new wall, these people took advantage of the opportunity to transport the earth-shaking thunder, weapons, armor and other things out of the city and sold them to bandits in the nearby mountains. Among them, the bandits of Hutu Mountain bought the most. ”

Zhang Xian was on the side and continued to add, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Xianggong, fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise these firearms would have been in the hands of the bandits, and I don't know how many incidents would have occurred!"

Niu Gao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Meng Er and Zhang Ping are on duty at the south gate, if they are found late, once Fanzi goes south, they will collude with us inside and outside, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The generals in the room all shook their heads secretly. No one thought that such an appalling thing would happen just after the completion of Taiyuan New Town.

"How many veteran officers are involved?"

Wang Song looked at the familiar faces below, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Jiang Fanghu and Liu Xin, these fierce generals in the army, why did they take such a desperate step and do such a fateful deed?"

If he remembered correctly, there were a few people in the crowd below who had participated in the battle of Bear Ridge with him, brave and resolute, and they were all good men in the army. I didn't expect that in just two years, these people had become so corrupt.

This is still a war year, and if it is a time of peace, these people may not be what they will become, I am afraid that they are all huge corruption.

"Except for Liu Xin, Jiang Fanghu, and Qiu Yixia, most of the others are soldiers of the Shengjie Army, and these people used to be heroes in the green forest. Liu Xin and Jiang Fanghu were both guards of the armed warehouse, guarding and stealing, and then pulling Meng Er and Zhang Ping, and getting their hands up and down, made ......"

Zhai Er shook his head and said, his face flushed.

Wang Song arranged him in such an important position, but he didn't expect to find such a big flaw.

Zhang Xian continued: "Xianggong, Liu Xin confessed that his own salary and rewards were all used on tiles and gambling houses, and he couldn't make ends meet, so he came up with this idea. The other sergeants were similar to him, and they all ruined themselves because of their lustful voices. ”

Zhang Heng came up cautiously and said sadly: "Xianggong, Jiang Fanghu is strong in martial arts, has the courage of ten thousand people, and is bold. He was involved because he was addicted to gambling, can he ...... ”

Wang Song shook his head gently, who did the sky spare! People are doing it, the sky is watching, the so-called self-inflicted evil, can't live, it's a pity.

Zhang Xian shook his head slightly, Zhang Heng sighed and retreated, and said no more.

Wang Song's eyes swept towards Meng De and Jiao Wentong, and the two of them were shocked and knelt down together.

"Xianggong, it's all my two who don't supervise effectively, and I haven't restrained the brothers in the army, please punish Xianggong!"

Meng De was sweating and kowtowed heavily, Jiao Wentong also followed, his head hit the ground, and "Bangbang" sounded.

"The two of you will be fined for half a year, and you will think about it behind closed doors after you go back. Get up, don't let the soldiers below see the joke!"

Wang Song waved his hand, Meng De and Jiao Wentong got up, stood aside, and looked at each other, both helpless and remorseful.

Wang Long and Wang Hu brothers were brought up, and the two of them had a tough and arrogant attitude, and the soldiers forced the two to kneel.

"Wang Song, if it weren't for your fate, you would have become a ghost under my hands, and you could still sit here arrogantly. My brother fell into your hands, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it, 20 years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again!"

"You lackey!"

Niu Gao walked over, slapped Wang Lung in the face, and said angrily: "You are a dignified Song man, following behind Fanzi, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and what kind of hero is you here!"

Wang Song waved his hand and said coldly: "General Niu, this kind of person has no father and mother, and he forgets his ancestors, why should you waste your tongue and surrender your identity."

Niu Gao's face turned red, he glanced at Wang Lung hatefully, stepped back, and stood aside.

Wang Lung's handprints on his face were clear, and the left side of his face immediately swollen. He spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his head, stopped talking, looked at Niu Gao, and his expression was very arrogant, with a hint of provocation.

Wang Song waved his hand in disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Pull down this thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs, cut off his head, and throw it outside the city to feed wild dogs, so as not to be an eyesore here, which makes people look disgusting!."

Two sergeants stepped forward and dragged Wang Lung out. Wang Lung's face was flushed, and he struggled and shouted insults. The sergeant who dragged him was indignant, punched and kicked, and Wang Lung suddenly lost his voice.

Wang Hu in the hall turned pale and trembled all over. These wicked people, who were merciless when they killed the people, now that it was their turn to be killed, they became like gold one by one, and they were completely like beasts.

Wang Song glanced at him coldly, stood up, walked to the courtyard, and came to Liu Xin's side.

He looked at Liu Xin and the others, his eyes were full of regret.

"Brothers, we have fought thousands of miles together, living and dying together. I want to take you to kill the gold thief, to be rich and rich, and to seal your wife and son. Why are you so confused that you have to embark on this road of no return? My heart is like a knife!"

Liu Xin's tears flowed, he lowered his head and choked up: "Xianggong, the villain is confused, he makes a big mistake, there is nothing to repay in this life, only wait for the next life, and then follow Xianggong together, and then kill Fanzi."

Jiang Fanghu next to him kowtowed vigorously, crying bitterly.

"Xianggong, there are still children in the villain's family, so I will be bothered to take care of Xianggong."

Qiu Yixia's face was ugly, and he shouted loudly while kowtowing: "Xianggong, spare your life!" It's all villains who are greedy, so let's ask the princess to give the villain a way to live!"
