There were 500 soldiers on the roster of the left battalion, but in fact there were only about 200 soldiers, and there were more than 40 elderly veterans among the more than 200 soldiers. So much so that every three years, Wang Erqiang had to convene his generals and foreign commissioners two months in advance, so that they could recruit all their subordinates.

It is a matter of their own future, those generals and foreign commissioners do not dare to slack off, as soon as they arrive at the big reading, they will recruit those pranky singles in Fengjie City and those who have nothing to do to the camp, a small exercise in three days, a big exercise in five days, and a school drill every day, and then let those ploppy bachelors get out of the way after the big reading. It is precisely because of the lack of soldiers, in order to clean up the government service and youth in Yunnan, the left battalion just now can be called pouring out.

The advantage of the shortage of soldiers was that there were enough barracks to bring in nearly 100 people, including tax collectors, tax collectors, shipowners, shipowners, shipwrights, porters, and porters, and the camp was not crowded because of this.

As soon as he entered the left camp, Han Xiufeng turned into a "military advisor", reminding Wang Erqiang which people should be locked up in one room and which should be detained separately.

Waiting for his soldiers to put those people in the barracks "by category", Wang Erqiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Sanwazi, Zhixing, you can also go in, Xietai will be there soon." ”

"Uncle, it's all up to you next!"

"Don't worry, I've killed two people in Xiebiao, and Xietai will naturally call the shots for us."

Du San was still a little uneasy, and turned around and asked, "Second brother, think about it again, think about it, and think about whether there is anything missing." ”

Han Xiufeng looked back at the camp gate and said with a smile: "Liquan is on our side, what is there to worry about, wait for the four halls to be tried." ”

"Okay, I'll rest assured."

Du San nodded, strode into the second room on the left, Han Xiufeng gave Wang Erqiang a hand again, and then turned around and followed.

……

After receiving the report sent by President Wang Qian, General Liu, the deputy general of the Kuizhou Association, was taken aback, and immediately called the horseman to prepare the horse, and rushed to the left camp with the "literacy" (the scribe of the green camp).

At the same time, the supervisor of Kuiguan also received a report from Huitu and rushed over with Huitu and Tong Zhu.

"Liu Xietai, your subordinates are so bold!"

"Supervisor Fan, I co-bid the death of a horse soldier and an infantryman, although the life of my green battalion soldier is cheap, but it is the same life, if you don't give an explanation to their family, how can Liu take this soldier?"

"But this happened to me!"

"Inspector Fan, you are in charge of taxation, if you even manage this, where will you put the main hall of Fengjie and even the mansion?" Vice General Liu arched his hand in the direction of the prefect's yamen with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "The matter is serious, Liu has sent someone to inform the Fengjie main hall, and has also sent someone to report to the mansion." Superintendent Fan, you came just in time, and we can hear the trial together later. ”

Supervisor Fan secretly thought that these Qiu Ba did not leak anything, and said lightly: "This is about the same, let's wait here together." ”

Vice General Liu had already seen that he was not pleasing to the eye, and said with a little mockery: "Inspector Fan, it seems that this is not your business. ”

"Your subordinates arrested my kuiguan, why don't you have anything to do with me?"

"I know about this, Superintendent Fan misunderstood, your person Wang Erqiang did not arrest him, but invited him to come and testify, they are witnesses and not human criminals."

"What's the difference between being locked up and being a prisoner?"

"It's different, it's different, how can a witness be the same as a criminal."

The two were arguing, the prince of Fengjie County arrived in a sedan chair, probably in a hurry, only brought a long and four soap servants, no one played an umbrella or a gong, and no one held a "avoidance" and "quiet" sign in front of him.

Wengui and Wubei staged again, and Xing Zhixian hurriedly got off the sedan chair and saluted as soon as he saw the supervisor of Kuiguan. Although Vice General Liu's rank is much higher than him, Xing Zhixian, who was born in Jinshi and has worked as a Hanlin, saw that Vice General Liu was just arching his hand, and this gift could not be perfunctory.

Vice General Liu had long been accustomed to it, and he was too lazy to be angry with Xing Zhixian, so he snorted coldly, turned around and continued to wait for the prefect.

"Inspector Fan, does the Copper Heavenly King really plan to frame the blame for the inspection of the donor and the martial arts that passed through this county to fill the vacancy in the military department?" Zhixian is an official close to the people, and the incident happened in Fengjie County, so Xing Zhixian naturally had to ask clearly.

Supervisor Fan looked back at Huitu and Tong Zhu, and said with a wry smile: "It should be, although the liberation official copper is a drudgery, but that transportation official is too unscrupulous, and he actually does this, it is really Sven scum." ”

"Why did the left battalion get involved and two soldiers died?"

"Zuoying Qianzong Wang Erqiang seems to recognize that martial arts ......"

Before Inspector Fan finished speaking, Vice General Liu turned around and said: "Wuju Du San is not only my son of Chongqing Town, but also the Lord of Zhentai who escorted the military department, and his father and I Zuo Qianzong Wang Erqiang are lifelong friendships. Knowing that he had arrived in Fengjie and was going to the military department to fill the vacancy, Wang Erqiang naturally wanted to go and see it. Fortunately, Wang Erqiang went, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

"Liu Xietai, when you go, the people of the Copper Heavenly King will arrive, this is too coincidental."

"Fengjie County, what do you mean by this, could it be that this is a trap set by my co-standard. Even if it's a trap set by my co-standard, the Bronze Heavenly King is not a fool, so how can he be stupid to drill into it? ”

Xing Zhixian felt that this matter was very strange, and wondered whether there were dead people in the left battalion, because no one could say how many soldiers there were in the left battalion and even the whole Kuizhou Association.

Wang Erqiang didn't dare to hide it, Vice General Liu knew the inside story, not only did not blame Wang Erqiang in the slightest, but felt that this matter was done beautifully, and said coldly with the handle of the knife in his hand: "Fengjie County, this official is leading the troops, and he knows the truth that morale can be boosted and cannot be discharged. This official has a negative grace, and there are soldiers who are born and died with Liu! ”

Xing Zhixian secretly scolded what was born and died, have you ever been in battle and fought!

Just as he was about to ridicule each other, Vice General Liu said meaningfully: "Fengjie County, if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." ”

Xing Zhixian stared at him and asked, "Liu Xietai, what do you mean by this, are you teaching Xing how to be an official?" ”

"This official is a rough person, no scholar like you can be an official, I only know that the 'Copper Heavenly King' is too hateful, every time I come to my Kuizhou, he will be unscrupulous, extorting the ship's owners on the river, making the place restless, and the sky is angry and resentful!"

How could Xing Zhixian not hear the meaning of Vice General Liu's words, and said without humility or arrogance: "When the Copper Heavenly King came last year, Xing sent the Zhuang class to escort him along the road after receiving the transfer of the text, and ordered the Zhuang class to restrain him. ”

Vice Admiral Liu asked with a smile: "Is it restrained?" ”
