Chapter 5 (62) Half Day Back to Yanzhou (Form 4)

Shang Jianli watched Di Xu and them walk out of the West Cross Courtyard under the dripping eaves. He didn't immediately go into the house to see Zhang Shao, but first went to the first wing of Xishou to find Jiang Wei, who was summarizing several official documents, and asked, "Has the person sent to find Patriarch Lu come back?" ”

"It's back......"

"When will Lord Lu come over?"

Jiang Yan carefully waved his hand to prevent the ink from sticking to his clothes, and said: "There is something to do in the Wei Mu Mansion temporarily, and he said that he can only ...... if he handles official business properly."

Without waiting for Jiang Jun to finish speaking, Shang Cheng intercepted and said, "Then you go to Lord Lu immediately, just say that there is something on my side, and ask him to come over later." Zhang Shao gave him a look when he entered the house just now, it seemed that there was something important that he wanted to talk to him secretly, and he might not be able to find time to see Lu Ji. Jiang Yan nodded in response, put the pen on the pen holder of a table in the door, rubbed the ink in his hand, and said, "Then I'll go." ”

"Wait!" Shang Cheng stopped him again. "How many more people are waiting to see me?"

Jiang Jian made a silent calculation in his heart, and immediately replied: "It's not good, there are always one or twenty people." Wen Xueyu of the State School, General Liu of the Border Military Mansion, Cao Cao and Hu ......Cao of the Mu Mansion, "He pinched his fingers and made it clear the intentions of several people who were waiting for Jin to see Shangcheng. At the end, he said: "Just now, the Mufu Fa Cao also came, saying that he wanted to give a report on the progress of the Yan family's immorality case in Zhu County. He said that this is a big case that you deliberately confessed to be carefully investigated and tried before you left last month. ”

Shang Cheng nodded. He had some impressions of the case. However, when did he ask the pastoral government to investigate the case strictly? He shook his head helplessly, alas, these officials...... He said to Jiang Quan: "You go and tell them that I don't have time to see them today, just let them leave the dossier, and go back first." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hall without waiting for Jiang Tuan to agree. At the door of the hall, he said to Tian Xiaowu, who was leading the team on duty: "You go and talk to Captain Bao, I want to talk to General Zhang about something, and let him arrange it." He didn't know what it was, but looking at Zhang Shao's grim expression and anxious eyes, he felt that the matter would not be too small......

When he entered the hall, he didn't talk to Zhang Shao immediately, sat down on the chair above Zhang Shao, picked up the teapot and filled the tea cups of the two people with tea soup, and silently took a shallow sip from the cup.

When martial law was placed in the courtyard, Bao Kan came over to bow and closed the door of the hall without saying a word, Zhang Shaocai said to Shang Cheng in a low voice: "Yandong is in trouble with the bandits......

Shang Cheng glared at him suspiciously. When he came back, he passed by Zhu County, and the Zhu County Yamen had just announced the great news that the guards had pacified the Northern Zheng bandits, and that one hundred and eighty-seven habitual bandits under the giant Kou Qi were headed, and Zhang Shao suddenly came to himself and said that Yandong was in trouble? He frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" "What's the trouble? Could it be ...... Could it be that Li Shen caused trouble again? He dares...... Dare to kill good and risk merit?

Although it is the red summer of May, the old trees and stone paths of the old poplars in the courtyard are reflected in the bright sun, and a white light makes people dare not look directly; The doors and windows of the hall were tightly closed and unventilated, and the room was so hot that people wanted to suffocate, but as soon as the thought of "Li Shen killed the good and risked the merits" flashed in his heart, Shang Cheng felt that his whole body was as cold as being immersed in an ice cellar, and his heart was as terrifying as a hundred and ten wild horses galloping wantonly. He opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't breathe in, trying to shout to drive away the fear in his heart, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound......

Zhang Shao didn't notice that Shang Cheng's face was so pale that he could barely see a trace of blood, and said expressionlessly: "Qi Bald ran away." ”

Shang Cheng didn't bother to ask how Qi Bald ran and how Zhang Shao knew about this matter He let out a long breath first.

It turned out that Li Shen didn't ......

…… That's good.

He picked up the teacup and pretended to drink water to hide his panic. After taking two sips of water and calming down a bit, he began to think about it seriously.

He immediately realized that although Li Shen didn't do anything stupid, but when the matter of Qi Bald's escape was revealed, the turmoil would not necessarily be small. He didn't bother to consider the consequences and implications of this incident, but immediately asked, "Has the document sent to the imperial court to report the victory?" "As long as the paperwork hasn't been issued, there's still room for the matter to turn around. Isn't there a bandit leader who slipped through the net? This is not a big deal, let Li Shen search closely and arrest Yu Kou!

Zhang Shao said with a bitter face: "The report document was sent out on the day I received Li Shenjun's urgent report. Li Shen's official document was clearly written in black and white, and when the official army broke through the village, Qi Bald died in the chaos, and he found bandits to repeatedly verify his identity and confirm that it was correct. Who knows this guy, this guy ......" he sighed. Li Shen had done this kind of thing before, but that was when Li Yu was leading Yanshan. But now that Admiral Yanshan is already surnamed Shang, Li Shen actually dares to deceive under the nose of a blind man Shang, what kind of courage does this person have, and dare to be so bold and go his own way? This old bastard! Isn't he afraid that the law of the country will be restored, and the military law will be ruthless?

Shang Cheng's two thick eyebrows were almost twisted together, staring at the green bricks under his feet without saying a word, and after a long time, he asked, "Where did you know about this?" ”

"Li Shen's Sima Governor Sun Huan ran back two days ago......"

"What did he come back for?" Shang Cheng asked. Two years ago, he knew Sun Huan, who was still a brigade commander at the time. Later, when he was waiting in Yanzhou, he also had dinner with Sun Huan, and he was an acquaintance. This time he inspected Yandong, he thought that he could meet Sun Huan in Duanzhou, who knew that Sun Huan was temporarily on official business, so the two of them couldn't meet him. He remembered that Sun Huan, who was known as "Sun Huozui", was first the leader of Li Shen's own soldiers, and later followed Li Shen to become Li Shen's confidant.

"What else? He and Li Shen scratched their faces, Duanzhou couldn't stay any longer, so they simply ran back to Yanzhou to hide from their idleness. Zhang Shao pursed his lips and said with a sneer, "Li Shen didn't give him any credit when Yandong won a great victory a year ago, he felt uncomfortable, so he said a lot of bad things about Li Shen behind his back, and as a result, the words reached Li Shen's ears, and the two of them had a quarrel." This time to encircle and suppress Qi Bald, Sun Huan's old team had several battalions stationed in Beizheng, Sun Huan ran over to share some credit, but was ordered by Li Shen to be a military order, Leng is pressed alive in the barracks to watch others eat meat and drink soup, and the people below are all scolding their mothers. He couldn't get angry, so he said a few grumbling words in front of Li Shen. Li Shen didn't have a seizure at that time, but two days later he found an incident and beat him, Captain Sima, with twenty military sticks in front of the soldiers. The two of them completely tore their faces like this. He took the opportunity to raise a stick injury and came to Yanzhou. He paused and added, "That's what he said." I guess it was probably Li Shen who kicked him out. Li Shen is like this, if it is useful, he will send money and goods, and if it is useless, he will kick it away immediately. Damn! It's just to raise a dog, and when you're old, you can't take care of the home, and you will throw a bone every now and then! ”

Shang Cheng ignored Zhang Shao's excuse and continued to think about the ins and outs of this matter.

No matter what dirty disputes Li Shen and Sun Huan have, the key is why did Sun Huan run to tell Zhang Shao about this? Zhang Shao's relationship with Li Shen is very poor, which is somewhat related to official business, and his relationship with Sun Huan is even worse. It is said that when Zhang Shao first took over the Yanshan Wei Mansion, he once had the experience of inspecting Sun Huan's ministry and being turned away from the door......

Just because Zhang Shao and Sun Huan both have deep contradictions with Li Shen, he can't fully believe in this matter now. Because of the heavy responsibility of this matter, not only involved Li Shen's fraudulent exploits, but also the Health Department and the Wei Mansion could not get rid of the "ignorance and neglect", so he did not go around in circles with Zhang Chang, but asked directly: "Sun Huan personally told you these things?" ”
