Late at night, Xiang Beichuan waited at the gate of the camp.

On the road in the distance, a figure fluttered. It didn't take long for the figure to get closer and closer.

Xiang Beichuan saw that Jiang Lan was back, he immediately ran forward, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Can you see Xu Blind? ”

"I see...... This guy has to cooperate with the master again. ”

"Cooperation? Did you promise him? ”

Jiang Lan shook his head: "The young master wants to see the situation first." After that, he silently walked back to the camp, leaving only a sentence for Xiang Beichuan, "It's not early, go back and rest quickly!" ”

Xiang Beichuan was confused for a while.

Back to the big tent. At this time, Wen Yu'er had already gone to sleep, and Liu Yinan hadn't woken up yet.

The ugly time is about to pass, and Jiang Lan is not half sleepy because of the doubts in his heart. He sat alone in front of the bookcase, his hands on his cheeks, thinking about what had happened recently.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, from Wen Yuer's cubicle, Liu Yinan's somewhat lazy voice came: "Come on, pour a glass of water for Miss Ben!" "It seems that this girl regards the military camp as the general's mansion......

Jiang Lan casually took a teacup, poured a cup of herbal tea, and then said slowly: "Second Miss, if you want to drink water, come out by yourself!" It's not convenient for the master to go in. ”

Listening to Jiang Lan's words, Liu Yinan didn't speak. After a while, she lifted the curtain and walked out.

When she saw Liu Yinan, Jiang Lan almost didn't make a sound out of joy - I saw that her hair was originally tied up neatly, but at the moment it was Peng Song's messy, and there were some sleep marks on one cheek. She rubbed the back of her head with one hand, and her embroidered eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if yesterday's wine had not yet passed.

As soon as she saw Jiang Lan covering her mouth and snickering, she immediately realized that she hadn't taken care of her image! She immediately rushed back to her cubicle and waited until everything was in order before reappearing.

Seeing that Jiang Lan still had a smile on his face, Liu Yinan glared at him and said angrily: "What do you see? Haven't you ever seen a girl wake up from her sleep? ”

"To be honest, I really haven't seen ...... yet"

Liu Yinan didn't pay any attention to Jiang Lan, but stepped forward to pick up the teacup and take a big sip.

"You probably haven't eaten in a long time, so you're probably hungry too...... Come! Outside the tent, a soldier on duty walked in, "Go and prepare some food for Long Chuanhou." ”

The soldier left.

"I can't believe that you care about people, too." Liu Yinan looked at Jiang Lan with interest.

"Hehe, there's so much more you can't think of......"

Not long after the soldier went out, he walked in with a bowl of hot porridge and two pieces of baked bread.

"Second Miss, the food in our camp is not as good as the General's Mansion...... Just settle for a moment. ”

Liu Yinan glanced at Jiang Lan: "Hey, who do you look down on!" Let me tell you, Miss Ben has also been messing around in the barracks since she was a child. As she spoke, she picked up a biscuit and took a small bite.

Liu Yinan suddenly remembered something, and she said while eating, "Yu'er's bed is so small that Miss Ben can't stretch her legs!" Wait, you go and get someone to make it bigger. ”

"The cubicle is so small, how can there be a place to make the bed bigger! If you dislike Yu'er's small bed, why don't you come to sleep in the master's bed? Jiang Lan said angrily.

"Sleep and sleep, who is afraid of whom!" Liu Yinan crossed his waist and said unadmittedly. As soon as she blurted out this, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and her little face turned red: "You bastard!" I actually want to take advantage of Miss Ben! ”

"Uh...... That's what the master said, but he didn't mean anything else. ”

……

Two hours later, Jiang Lan entered the city alone, and he went directly to the Ordnance Division.

According to the news given by Xu Blind, there should have been an accident here. But when he went to the Ordnance Division, he saw that the craftsmen in the yamen came and went, and sent people to work separately, so there was no accident.

When several messengers from the Ordnance Department saw Jiang Lan coming, they immediately stepped forward: "I have seen Lord Duwei. ”

"Excuse me, what about all of you? Tell him to come to the officer! ”

"This ......," the messengers glanced at each other, "Lord Hui, I'm afraid Qi Duguan won't be able to come to see you." ”

"What? Is he sick? ”

"No, Qi Du cares about him...... He was taken away by the people of the county government yamen the day before yesterday. ”

"What?" Jiang Lan was shocked, "Why do you report such a big matter to this official?" ”

"My lord, the little one went to the barracks yesterday to look for you, but I heard the brother on duty say that you are not in the camp......" The leading messenger explained with a look of grievance.

"Straight sissy thief!" Jiang Lan was furious and scolded, "This little county official actually dares to arrest the little master!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan was about to get up on the street like a shrew, the messenger felt that he opened his mouth to explain: "When the county lord came, he said: According to the law of Daliang, the crime of stealing weapons is complicit in rebellion, and officials who lose weapons should also ......be punished according to the law" Jiang Lan heard the meaning of his words - such a big crime of losing weapons, how can a small five-grade official of his own say pardon and pardon?

The other party is so blatantly arresting people, it is obvious that he is taking his handle again!

He glanced at a few poor people, but didn't say anything, then turned around and left, going straight to the yamen of the county government.

Xiangyang County has six counties, and the county seat is the jurisdiction of Xiangyang County, so the county government Yamen is also in the city.

Jiang Lanlai was at the gate of the county government, although he was not wearing an official mansion or battle armor, he was also recognized by the poor people he had seen at a glance.

He didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly to the messenger: "Is the county commander Lord Li here?" ”

The messenger replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, you are unfortunate to come, Lord Li just went to the county guard mansion with the Inspector of the Imperial History, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

"Hehe, it's really a nest of snakes and rats!" The general said with a sneer, and then rushed to the county guard's mansion.

In the county guard mansion, the three of them were planning something in a low voice, and suddenly heard a report from someone outside the door: "The three adults of Qiqi, Lord Duwei came to ask for a meeting, and they are now waiting at the door." ”

"Hehe," said the white-bearded man of Xu County, "this bastard is really uncontrollable, and he came here so quickly." Call him in! ”

His men came out.

Li Xianling opened his mouth and said: "My lord, wait a minute, you will talk to him according to what we have discussed, but I am not afraid that he will not commit it!" ”

It didn't take long for Jiang Lan to walk in. He looked at the three old guys with a sly smile on their faces, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Master Jiang, don't come unharmed! Why are you here today? Xu Junshou asked as if he didn't know.

Jiang Lan didn't talk nonsense with him, he turned to look at Lord Li, and he asked directly to the point: "Lord Li, I heard that you have arrested the commander of the Ordnance Department under this official...... If the official guessed correctly, he deliberately wanted to target the official, right? ”

The county order was a little overwhelmed by Jiang Lan's question: "What did Lord Jiang say?" How dare the lower officials get along with you? ”

Lord Wang on the side accosted: "My lord, are you talking about Qi Fan's house?" Don't hide it, arresting him is an order from a subordinate official! That guy was so incompetent that he asked a group of thieves to rob the imperial court's weapons. Xiaguan, as the superintendent of a county, naturally will not tolerate him! Lord Wang said righteously, but immediately changed his face, and smiled at Jiang Lan, "The lower official didn't explain it to you in advance, and I hope you won't be surprised." ”

A corrupt official, but the law of opening his mouth and closing his mouth. Hearing this, Jiang Lan felt sick in his heart.

"Hehe, the master is originally a reckless man, and he can't play the twists and turns of your officialdom. The master is not pretending anymore! The master asked you, is your real purpose in arresting people to hold the master's handle? ”

Listening to Jiang Lan's question, the three old foxes couldn't help but smile at each other.

Xu Junshou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Jiang is really fast!" Even so, the official won't play that false game with you anymore - yes, the official caught that Qi Fan, it was indeed for you, Lord Jiang! I heard that a few days ago, you returned to the barracks with a Jianghu man surnamed Yan. This person is very important to the officer...... As long as you hand this person over to the official, the official will release him immediately! ”

"Release?" Jiang Lan shook his head, "Are you so easy to coax as a master?" Wang Yushi also said just now, Qi Fan's crime is a capital crime, why do you say that you will release people if you are a small county guard? ”

"It seems that Master Jiang hasn't seen the situation clearly." Xu Junshou slowly explained, "In this Xiangyang County, the official is in charge of government affairs, you are in charge of the military, and Wang Yushi, who is in charge of the criminal investigation, is also the official person. As long as a few of us don't say it, how can the imperial court know? ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan was silent, his expression seemed to be thoughtful, Xu Junshou continued: "Lord Jiang, the 'business' that the official told you before is to pull you into the gang in the final analysis. Think about it, if we are all in the same boat, then this Xiangyang County is not our world! ”

Xu Junshou said rebellious words in his mouth, but the two adults Wang and Li on the side did not feel that there was anything wrong.

Jiang Lan looked at the three of them, thought about it for a while, and then said slowly: "The master will not hand over the surname Yan to you, as for getting on your thief ship...... The master is not interested! ”

"Good, good, good!" Xu Junshou spit out three good words in his mouth, and saw him clap his hands, and then more than 20 of his subordinates rushed into the hall from the courtyard and directly surrounded Jiang Lan, "Since Lord Jiang doesn't know the current affairs, then don't blame the official for being rude!" ”

Jiang Lan snorted coldly: "You old horseman!" Do you dare to detain the master? Don't forget, the master can be at the same level as you, and it is a big crime to detain the court officials for no reason! ”

"Of course the officer knows this, but since we have torn our faces, how can we let you go back to the camp...... Don't worry, when you think about it clearly, this official will naturally let you go! But if you keep toasting and don't eat and drink, don't blame the official for writing to the court first. You connived at and shielded your subordinates, and this crime is enough for you to drink a pot! ”

Jiang Lan glanced at the group of subordinates, and said in his heart that these guys were not enough to warm up for themselves! However, if you do it here, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will accuse you of "forcibly breaking into the county guard and killing and injuring people"......

Jiang Lan was still hesitating, but Xu Junshou took the first step and ordered: "Escort him down." ”

Outside the door, there was a shout: "I see who dares!" ”
