The two guards were immediately embarrassed. They hadn't seen Wei Qing at all, but where could they write it? If it is scribbled, the confession of the two people will be different, and they can't afford this big crime of false accusation, so they can't help but look at Gu Huairen together.

Jiang Zhong was secretly funny in his heart, but he didn't know it, waiting for these two people to write it.

Gu Huairen was also embarrassed, he didn't expect Jiang Zhong to use such a desperate plan, there was no other way, he could only suppress people with power, he snorted, and said to Jiang Zhong: "Jiang Shilang, it seems that this military department is still bigger than Shilang, right?" When did the official entrust Jiang Shilang to try this case? ”

Jiang Zhong suddenly turned his body to Gu Huairen's side, and replied with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, the lower official is guilty, so please ask Gu Shangshu to come to trial." ”

Wei Qing knelt on the ground, with a big cloak on his head, and heard Jiang Zhong's questions about the two guards, he praised it again and again in his heart, he didn't expect Jiang Zhong to be so skillful, but as soon as Gu Huairen spoke, Jiang Zhong immediately confessed, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Gu Huairen's eyes looked at Jiang Zhong's chest fixedly, looked straight for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Jiang Shilang's trial is already very good, and this official doesn't need to be tried again." He turned to his men and shouted, "Take these two false accusers down!" Lock them up first, and then interrogate them strictly! ”

"Wronged! Wronged! The two guards didn't expect things to take such a turn for the worse, and they couldn't help but shout in unison. As if he hadn't heard, Gu Huairen waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to pull the two guards down.

Gu Huairen was still smiling, walked to Wei Qing's side, uncovered Wei Qing's cloak with his own hands, pulled Wei Qing up, and actually helped Wei Qing wipe his sweat, and said with a smile: "Wei Dutong, you have been wronged." It seems that there is a place of right and wrong in the capital, and it is better for you not to stay for a long time. ”

Wei Qing couldn't figure it out, and he really didn't understand what kind of play this was, what kind of spell did this Lord Jiang cast on Gu Shangshu, and he actually made Gu Shangshu have such a major change all of a sudden?

Gu Shangshu gently patted Wei Qing's shoulder with his hand, with a kind face: "You gave all the things that His Majesty the Emperor rewarded you to the disabled soldiers a few days ago, how can this official let you return so empty-handed?" This official will reward you with another 3,000 taels of silver, and you should return to the team as soon as possible. As he spoke, he dragged Wei Qing to the door.

Wei Qing was confused in his heart, and turned his head to look at Jiang Shilang. Jiang Shilang waved his hand to Wei Qing and signaled that Wei Qing could leave.

Wei Qing walked out of the door dizzily.

As soon as Wei Qing went out, Gu Huairen immediately waved his hand to call the guards in the room to go out, and closed the door with his own hands.

He turned around, his eyes were like fire, and he glared at Jiang Zhong angrily.

Jiang Zhong showed his figure at this time, revealing the thing he had been holding in his hand and placed on his chest.

It was a white oxtail.

It's a strange thing, after all, white cattle are very rare; But it is not uncommon to say that it is not unusual, because this kind of oxtail is a commonly used envoy voucher of the Mobei alien race, and this section of the oxtail is knotted and entangled in the way of the envoy voucher of the Jin people.

Or to put it simply, this is an envoy of the Jin people, and from the way of tying the knot, it is a kind of private envoy, that is, an envoy secretly sent by the emperor to carry out private tasks.

The problem is, the Jin and Han have been fighting for several years, and they don't even communicate with each other's public envoys, so how can there be private envoys from the Jin people to the Han Dynasty?

There is one. And there is only one.

It was the one Gu Shangshu secretly met a few days ago.

Gu Shangshu didn't know how Jiang Shilang caught this person, and he didn't know why Jiang Shilang didn't hand this person over to the emperor, but he knew that the evidence in Jiang Shilang's hand now was enough to make his head fall to the ground, and there was no room for maneuver. Since Jiang Shilang presented evidence in this way, it meant that he didn't want to directly expose this matter, so the matter could still be saved. So he immediately let Wei Qing go, and then came to bargain with Jiang Zhong. In this kind of major event, Gu Shangshu has always understood the priorities.

Jiang Zhong smiled with a relaxed face. His gaze was as gentle as spring water, but as deep as an abyss. He sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "Gu Shangshu, the lower official sees that you are too tired from working every day, and you have to personally ask about small things such as rewards and punishments for soldiers. ”

Gu Huairen snorted coldly and sat down slowly. There are only two biggest things in the military department, one is to fight against Jin, and the other is to reward and punish the generals, and now Jiang Zhong has the power to reward and punish the generals, which is equivalent to directly cutting off his ninety percent of his financial routes, and at the same time depriving him of the right to form a party for personal gain and retaliate, which is still a "trivial matter"? However, if you compare it to his head, these things really can't be considered a big deal.

Gu Huairen pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "This official has been an official for so many years, and he has never been able to rest well, and the day before yesterday, His Majesty asked this official if he needed to take a rest." This official will write to His Majesty and rest for three months, and Jiang Shilang will do the work for him in these three months. ”

Jiang Shilang's asking price was: to give him the power of personnel appointment and dismissal permanently.

Gu Shangshu's counteroffer was: All the power of the military department will be given to you, but only for three months.

Jiang Shilang nodded: "This is very good, just ask Lord Shangshu to write the paperwork." ”

Gu Shangshu was not ambiguous, grabbed the pen and brushed a little bit, quickly wrote the document, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it to Jiang Zhong. Jiang Zhong stretched out his hand to pick it up, but found that Gu Shangshu's fingers were strong, and he clutched the document and refused to let go. Jiang Zhong smiled and handed the oxtail to Gu Huairen, and as soon as Gu Huairen took the oxtail, he immediately let go and let Jiang Zhong take the paperwork.

Although Jiang Zhong hadn't told him where the envoy was, but now that the envoy had no credentials, there was no way to prove that he was the envoy of the Emperor of Jin, and it would be difficult to win the trust of others even if he was the head, so he simply let go first and waited for Jiang Zhong to return the person to himself, because it would be useless for him not to return the person.

Jiang Zhong took the paperwork, but he didn't look at it, but stared straight at Gu Huairen's back with a nervous expression.

Gu Huairen only felt a chill in his back, he didn't know what was behind him, so he hurriedly turned his head to look, but there was something there? His heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that as soon as he turned around, this invisible thing would appear and suck his own blood, he asked in a trembling voice, "Jiang Shilang, what do you see?" ”

Jiang Zhong's laughter came from the door: "Where is there something?" Gu Shangshu, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, you have too much heart. ”

Gu Huairen was furious and turned around to scold Jiang Zhong, but found that Jiang Zhong had slipped to the door while he was looking for a ghost, Jiang Zhong smiled strangely at Gu Huairen and said: "The mass grave in the south of the city, the seventh grave on the side of the road, is inside. With that, he pushed open the door and went out.

Gu Huairen was stunned for a while, then suddenly screamed and stomped his feet angrily.

The mass grave in the south of the city, the seventh grave on the side of the road, who will be inside? Answer: The secret envoy of the Emperor of Jin. This person seems to be dead, Jiang Zhong took the envoy certificate from him to scare Gu Huairen, Gu Huairen already had a ghost in his heart, and this time he fell for the trick. No wonder Jiang Zhong wanted to pretend to be a ghost, he was afraid that Gu Huairen would not let him go, and he must see this envoy, so he deceived Gu Huairen into turning back to find a ghost, and he took the opportunity to sneak to the door, told Gu Huairen where the body of the envoy was, pushed the door and left.

Gu Huairen couldn't cry or laugh for a while. This is what he asked for, who made him really have a ghost in his heart? Jiang Zhong may only have seven points of suspicion that Gu Huairen has colluded with the Jin people, but this time, Jiang Zhong is very sure, but it is a pity that the Jin envoy is dead, so he can only deceive Gu Huairen to release Wei Qing, and then write a document to transfer the power of the military department to him. No wonder he has such important information in his hands and doesn't report it directly to the emperor, so that's the case!

Gu Huairen scolded angrily in a low voice for a long time, but he couldn't think about it, the document had already been written, if he changed his words again, the emperor must have thought that he was greedy for power, so he could only borrow the donkey from the slope and pretend not to be greedy for power. But now that he knew that Jiang Zhong had no evidence in his hands that killed him, he couldn't let Wei Qing go anymore. Yes, Jiang Zhong just waved his hand to urge Wei Qing to leave quickly, but he Gu Huairen didn't grow up as a vegetarian, he prepared three strategies, and now although two of them have failed, there is still a chance!

"Someone!" He roared.

Wei Qing was pushed out of the door, and walked out in a daze, almost throwing away the three thousand taels of silver tickets sent by the soldiers, he really didn't understand what was going on in this officialdom, just returned the sword and sword, and he Wei Qing still had a machete hanging high above his head that would fall at any time, but now suddenly it was peaceful again, as if all the unhappiness had disappeared with the wind. The world is amazing.

He sighed and walked out quickly, thinking that it was still right to return to the barracks as soon as possible, and the crisis in the capital was thousands of times greater than the barracks, which really made him unable to guard against it.

He took the reins handed by the soldier on one side and was about to get on his horse, but he heard the soldier who handed the reins say in a crisp voice: "I've only been away for a few days, and you pretend not to recognize me?" ”

"Xiaoyu!" Wei Qing had not had time to look at this person's face before he could hear her voice.

Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled, and lifted the big helmet that was buttoned up to her eyebrows: "Brother Wei, you have a conscience!" ”

Wei Qing was speechless for a while, just looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and smiled. A flush appeared on Jiang Xiaoyu's face, and she said lightly, "What are you laughing at?" Wei Qing shook his head: "I don't know what to laugh at, Xiaoyu, I'm really happy to see you." ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was pounding, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he simply put them on Wei Qing's collar, gently fiddled with his collar, and said softly: "I'm also very happy." I heard that you came to the capital, and I wanted my father to invite you to live at home for a few days, but my father said that you were in a hurry and would leave today, so I had no choice but to wait for you in front of the military department. ”
