"It's good to be old or new." Wei Bao nodded and smiled slightly: "It's just to wear it temporarily, and it's not to be a new uncle." ”

"That's done. Xiaobao, tell your father, how do you have more than 50% certainty? After all, Wu Xiang still wished that his son-in-law would win. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but it's good to have a glimmer of hope, and it's good to give yourself a little hope for the time being.

If Sun Chengzong can be allowed to leave, and his son-in-law can help him take the position of chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, Wu Xiang feels that the Wei family and the Wu family will be different in the north at that time!

At that time, it may not necessarily be that the generals and officials of Jiliao and Liaodong will be offended, after all, his family has been in Liaoxi for generations, so many old relationships have been accumulated, and when the time comes, he will try to remedy his son-in-law more.

"Dad, don't ask, I only ask you, believe me or not?" Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Xiang glanced at Wei Bao in a daze, and then looked at his daughter, secretly wondering what does this have to do with believe it or not? If I believe in you, you will be able to beat Jiannu? Then I believe you every day! I believe in you every hour!

If you really have such a fairy, I can secretly build a shrine for your boy!

Thinking of Wei Bao Jiansheng Temple, he inexplicably poked Wu Xiang's laughter, and before he could answer, he laughed first.

Wei Baoben Wu Xiang smiled a little embarrassed, secretly thinking that if you don't believe it, you won't believe it, what I just said is ridiculous?

"Dad, don't worry about it, you can do whatever your husband tells you to do." Wu Xuexia persuaded.

Wu Xiang was good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw his daughter with a sad face, he immediately understood that even his daughter was not optimistic about Wei Bao's move, and felt that Wei Baotuo was too big.

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be even more worried, sighed heavily, but couldn't help but continue to count Wei Bao.

Because of the words that are spoken, the water that is spilled out, now the entire Shanhaiguan inside and outside the customs, the entire Jiliao, the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong, including Mao Wenlong, knows about this matter, and now no matter how you say your son-in-law, you will say that your son-in-law is dead, and it will not be able to be recovered.

Wei Bao secretly blamed Wu Xuexia for not knowing how to coax her father, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, because Wu Xuexia herself was so pessimistic, could her father be optimistic.

Wei Bao kept Wu Xiang to drink, but Wu Xiang was not in the mood and left sullenly.

"If I lose, it won't affect your father much, right?" Wei Bao asked Wu Xuexia, who sent Wu Xiang out and came back, funny: "He won't be so unhappy, right?" ”

"How is it that it doesn't have an impact? It not only has an impact on my father, but also on Weijiazhuang, on Liaonan, on yourself, and on the entire Tiandihui. Husband, we are now husband and wife, the Wu family and the Wei family are regarded as one in the eyes of outsiders, you have just become a prison army, if you leave within a month of coming to Liaodong, my father will also fall in this area in the future, and he will not be able to raise his head to be a man. Wu Xuexia said: "The face has fallen, how much impact will it have on the development of business and territory, shouldn't the president know better than me?" ”

Although they are husband and wife, sometimes Wu Xuexia can't help but call President Wei Bao, especially when talking about more official matters.

Wei Bao nodded, secretly thinking that it was true, this is the relationship between in-laws, one is prosperous, and one is lost, no wonder ancient politics like to use marriage as a means of diplomacy.

Wei Bao instantly felt the pressure, and the pressure increased as he waited.

Because if you want to enter the Hunhe River from the Sancha River and attack Shenyang City on the bank of the Hunhe River, you have to wait for the south wind.

It doesn't matter if it's southeast, southerly, or southwesterly, it has to be southerly anyway.

But at this time, the south wind is not easy to wait.

There is no weather forecast, in case he waits for a long time, others still think that he is afraid to send troops.

Wei Bao is waiting, the President's Secretariat and the President's Guard, the people from the General Administration of Statistics of the Heaven and Earth Society are waiting, and the madman Tan is waiting at Weijiazhuang Port every day, and the preparations for sending troops have already been made, but they just don't come to the south wind.

The south wind didn't come, but Ma Shilong came.

After the decree came, Ma Shilong was lifted from the ground.

Although the official was demoted by three levels, he was not expelled from the Jiliao system, nor was he expelled from Shanhaiguan.

The soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan, Ma Shilong has been led for more than a year, and it seems that Wei Bao was still in Shanhaiguan at the beginning, and Ma Shilong is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

It's just that at that time, Wei Bao was just an ordinary person, and he was not qualified to contact Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong was by Wei Bao this time, and he also learned to be a little obedient, and after the ban was lifted, he first rested in the mansion for two days, and then went to find Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong persuaded him to wait and see what happened, and said that Wei Bao and his gambling contract, saying that everything would wait until after the gambling contract!

Ma Shilong also thought so, Sun Chengzong bet with Wei Bao on such a big thing, even if Sun Chengzong didn't tell him, he would have known it a long time ago.

But Ma Shilong can't keep a low profile if he wants to.

Wei Bao's people conduct training, military ordering, political education, and assessment of the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan every day.

Although formal disarmament has not yet begun, it has caused panic.

Shanhaiguan said that there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there were more than 20,000 soldiers.

Then Wei Bao's people do so many actions every day, and everyone knows that when the time comes, those who are weak in combat ability, those who Wei Bao's people can't look down on, those who react slowly, and those who are not physically good will be disarmed for all kinds of reasons.

The soldiers were worried, and the generals were even more worried, if Wei Bao's people really controlled the Shanhaiguan army, they would definitely all have to get out.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is impossible for Wei Bao to keep their gang.

There are so many soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, and there are more than 30 generals above the level of generals, not to mention lower-level generals, these 200 people go to find Ma Shilong and Sun Chengzong all day long.

Sun Chengzong ignored them, and came only in a muddy way.

Ma Shilong is quick temper, there is no way to be noisy by these people all day long, and after a few days, he forgot the pain of the scar, forgot that he had just been grounded, and brought more than 200 large and small martial artists to find Wei Bao.

Last time, he was punished alone, this time it was more than 200 people, everyone was united, Ma Shilong decided that although he was demoted, but the army of Shanhaiguan should still be decided by him, even if the holy decree allowed Wei Bao, the prison army, to temporarily manage the army, it was only temporary!

We can't let Wei Bao do this anymore.

Otherwise, even if Wei Bao's bet with the Overseer loses, Wei Bao still can't be prepared to disarm before leaving.

Because it is unlikely that the emperor and the imperial court will exempt Wei Bao from his official position, Wei Bao's bet with Sun Chengzong is private, so no matter when Wei Bao leaves, he will always be the supervisor of the army, and he has the military power of Shanhaiguan, so Wei Bao can disarm whenever he wants!

When the time comes, Wei Bao will be angry, and there will be only a few hundred people left in Shanhaiguan, who will he cry to?

"Ma Shilong brought more than 200 martial arts to find me?" Wei Bao listened to Lin Wenbiao's report and couldn't help laughing.

"This guy really doesn't have a good brain!" Wu Xuexia has not been in a good mood recently, and has been worried about Wei Bao's dispatch of troops to fight Jiannu and the gambling contract with Sun Chengzong, but now at this juncture, she is even more unhappy when she hears that Ma Shilong is making trouble!

"He relied on the strength of the crowd, thinking that I would not dare to move so many people!" Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao: "Check it out, only these two hundred people?" Is anyone coming from the army of Shanhaiguan? ”

Wei Bao was referring to the more than 20,000 soldiers.

"No, the barracks are all under the control of our men." Lin Wenbiao said.

"What about the rest of the people? For example, the Jiliao soldiers and horses in western Liaoning, as well as the soldiers and horses in eastern Liaodong, do they have any changes? "Wei Bao is worried that Ma Shilong's action is premeditated, and if it is not good, it will cause a great mutiny in the entire Jiliao and Liaodong soldiers, then it will be a mess, and the emperor will favor himself again, and he can't afford such a big crime of mutiny by more than 100,000 people at the same time.

"No, Ma Shilong doesn't like he has consulted with anyone, and our statistical office has a very solid control over the north! Not to mention Jiliao and Liaodong, which are important places to support troops, even if there is any movement in the entire north of the Yangtze River, we can receive news within five days. Lin Wenbiao said.

Wei Bao nodded: "Then it's simple, call the people of the President's Guard and arrest these people and put them in prison!" It's all handed over to the people from the East Factory brought by a few big dukes! Wei Bao said.

Lin Wenbiao was shocked, he didn't expect President Wei to give such an order.

Zhang Meiyuan, Wu Xuexia, Princess Zhenming, Yang Xue, Xiong Xin'er, Wang Qiuya and others were also surprised.

"President, do you want to think again?" Wu Xuexia said: "These generals are all reckless men, maybe the president can convince them, after all, it's not good to make too much trouble, and if we really want to deal with them, we are equivalent to tearing our faces with all the generals of Jiliao and Liaodong!" ”

"I know that if I arrested them, I didn't mean that I had to do them immediately! I now live in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce is the official residence of my supervising army, they are good at the official residence of the imperial court, and the Lord Gao Di and the three grand dukes also live here, what do they want to do, do they want to rebel, as long as we are justified, who would dare to make trouble with them!? Wei Bao stood up, his words were straight and round, and he looked like a Ming Guardian.

If you don't know, you still think that Wei Bao is Sun Chengzong.

"Do you want to discuss it with Gao Di and the three great eunuchs first?" Zhang Meiyuan said.

Wei Bao originally felt that it was not necessary, but Zhang Meiyuan did not often express his opinions, out of respect for his wife, Wei Bao thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "It's okay to say hello to them!" It's just that this morning, I don't know if they all got up? ”

Gao Di, Liu Chao, Hu Liangfu, and Ji Yong, the three big eunuchs, are playing too happily these days.

Gaudi is a little better, and at least ensures that he goes to bed before the child hour every night.

Gao Di also paid more attention to the situation outside, especially about the bet between Wei Bao and Sun Chengzong, and about Wei Bao's preparation to send troops to attack Jiannu, which he had to pay attention to every day.

The three big eunuchs have no such concerns at all, they have good wine and good food every day, listen to music, listen to pipa, and serve a few beautiful women who will be brought by heaven and earth, and they live a good life.

They didn't take Wei Bao's bet to heart at all, thinking that Wei Bao was just talking about fun.

Whether disarmament can succeed and whether there can be gains in the fight against Jiannu, the three great eunuchs are all pessimistic. But they have full confidence in squeezing Sun Chengzong away.

Even if Wei Bao didn't come, they believed that Sun Chengzong would definitely not be able to leave in winter.

I haven't heard of who Grandpa Wei wants to let go, who can stay still, keep giving you small shoes to wear, keep creating traps for you, and impeachment so many scripts every day, making a person useless what he can say, his body is incomplete, and his crime is extremely evil!

Not to mention that Sun Chengzong has no credit in Liaodong, he is poked like this every day, no matter how great the credit is, it will be wiped out.

The three great eunuchs have not yet gotten up, they have left the palace, they sing songs every night, and they are too indulgent, and they will not get up to eat until noon.

But Wei Bao sent someone to invite them, and they came over immediately.

Although Gao Di had already gotten up, he was the last to arrive.

Gao Di saw a group of martial artists looking for Wei Bao in the window, and only after Wei Bao had invited the three great eunuchs to come over, he rushed over to see Wei Bao.

"Master Wei, three fathers-in-law, I'm sorry, I drank too much last night, and I didn't get up until this hour, so I can make you laugh." Gao Di said with a smile: "Why are there so many people at the door?" They all seem to be military generals, right? What do they want to do? ”

"They're all here to make trouble with me! I just don't know what to do, so I want to hear the opinions of the three grand dukes and the tall man. "Wei Bao knew what they were going to do, so he asked his people to stop the training, stop the assessment, find out, and political education of all the soldiers in Shanhaiguan.

"You should go to Inspector Sun about this, right?" Gao Di said slyly: "All the things on the ground in Jiliao and Liaodong and Liaoxi can be found in Jiliao Governor, he is such an official, he is in a high position, and he can't be left to take care of the things that should be managed." ”

The three big eunuchs smiled silently, and looked at Gao Di together, all secretly thinking that this mediocre talent didn't know where he was taken by Gonggong Wei.

If Sun Chengzong really got out, Jiliao and Liaodong were controlled by this Gaodi, and they were really worried.

"Lord Gao's words are bad, now the imperial court has ordered me to temporarily take charge of the defense of Shanhaiguan, these soldiers and horses are in my charge, my own soldiers and horses, if you go to the Inspector at every turn, he will wait for a sentence, then what does the court want you to do? How do I say that? Wei Bao laughed.

"What is Master Wei going to do?" Gao Di Wei Bao Wei Bao was stunned for a moment, slightly unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.

"I think they should all be arrested, all of them will be imprisoned, and they will be handed over to the people of Dongchang for interrogation, these people dare to trespass into my official residence, and there are three grand dukes and Gao Da living here, what are they trying to do? I think I just want to rebel! Wei Bao said coldly.

Gao was shocked, his impression of Wei Bao had completely changed, and he felt that Wei Bao was the real smiling tiger, and he was harmless to humans and animals under normal circumstances.

And these are generals, not idle people!

Don't say that you are just a prisoner, even if you are the governor of Jiliao, if you really want to question so many people, you have to think twice, and you have to ask the court first, right?

Gao Di saw that the three big eunuchs were silent, and he also shut up and stopped talking.

"This matter is too big, Lord Wei is planning to kill them?" Liu Chao asked, "Shouldn't I talk to Your Majesty and Father-in-law Wei first?" ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "When you get to the people in the hands of Dongchang, do you still need to kill them?" If you don't kill it, you will waste it! Take it first and then ask for the will, so as not to bother Your Majesty and the nine thousand years old. Originally, I didn't plan to trouble Lord Gao and the three Grand Dukes to come over to discuss such a trip, so I wanted to do things myself, but my insiders said that it would be better to ask the three Grand Dukes and Lord Gao. ”

Liu Chao, Ji Yong, and Hu Liangfu understood what Wei Bao meant, and the people in the hands of Dongchang were indeed immortal and wasted!

"I'm afraid that we just arrested someone, and the army will mutiny, right?" Ji Yong said uneasily.

"Father-in-law Ji, please rest assured, I have completely controlled Shanhaiguan! As soon as the people here are arrested, I will send someone to escort the Beijing division over there, and send a few Dongchang servants to accompany them, and when these people enter the Dongchang prison and drag it out for a few years, it will not be a problem. Wei Bao smiled: "If someone dares to rob them, or even dare to use swords, it will be even more convenient, so I don't know which army to cut first." The city wall of Shanhaiguan is high and thick, and tens of thousands of troops are garrisoned, does anyone dare to lead troops to attack? ”

"Then I don't think so, I'm afraid that Jiliao and the soldiers and horses from all over Liaodong will join forces to make trouble, saying that we are arresting people without authorization." Ji Yong said: "More than 100,000 people join forces to make trouble, which is also very troublesome." ”

"I also think it's best for Master Wei to talk to this group of people first and see what they are going to do. The big things are small, and the small things are small. Hu Liangfu said.

"A few grand dukes, if this is the case, I won't care about the affairs of Liaodong in the future, nine thousand years old let us come, just to open the way, don't kill people, don't cut through thorns, where is the way out? They don't care what they want me for, it's a big sin to gather a crowd to make trouble! I don't have to listen! Wei Bao smiled: "Lord Gao and the three grand dukes don't have to listen. Let's just talk about whether their current behavior is right or wrong! Whatever they ask. ”

When the three great eunuchs heard this, they looked at each other, and then looked at each other with Gao Di.

A few people thought, Wei Bao, Wei Bao, this guy is the material that was born to be an official, it's too ruthless!

If you want to grab a little pigtail like this and kill the killer, how many people do you have to kill?

"Well, the three Grand Dukes and the tall man, are you against it? If you don't object, let Wei Bao do this alone, I will bear it alone, and I will write the transcript alone, and a few people will not know it. But if you object, you will be at your disposal. Wei Bao laughed.

"Master Wei, this is out of sight, since you have thought about it, you are the main supervisor, and we are all your deputy supervisors, how can you treat it as if you don't know anything? What does Master Wei want to do, we support it! Liu Chao spoke.

Gao Di also groaned: "These border generals are indeed lawless, thinking that if there are many people, they can gather a crowd to blackmail the officials, they should ask about the crime, how to do it specifically, it depends on the meaning of the court, let's report it truthfully." ”

Wei Bao stood up with a smile and said, "Okay! A few grand dukes, tall adults, you can relax, there will be no problem! We can't get used to these people! Originally, we came here to smash their jobs, and it was a life-and-death fight! The harder they smash, the more they will think that we will leave them a little, and if the beating is not painful, they will hate us even more! ”

"It's still Lord Wei who sees things thoroughly, and he is young and promising!" After thinking about it, Liu Chao shook his head and said.

Ji Yong and Hu Liangfu, Gao Di also said the same.

Wei Bao smiled slightly and slapped the outside.

Lin Wenbiao immediately said outside: "My lord." ”

"They're all caught! Escort to Beijing immediately! Wei Bao said.

"Is Ma Shilong also arrested?" Lin Wenbiao asked.

"What do you mean you've been caught? Including everyone, of course! Wei Bao was a little displeased.

"Yes! My lord. Lin Wenbiao was so frightened that he hurriedly went down to do something.

Ma Shilong and more than 200 military generals were waiting outside very anxiously, clamoring for Master Wei to come out to meet.

But the door of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce was open, and no one paid attention to them.

They weren't stupid, the door was open, but no one dared to break in.

"This spectrum is too big, isn't it, there are so many of us, just asking to see each other, is it so difficult? Isn't he Wei Bao now temporarily in charge of the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan? Who are we looking for if we don't have something to look for? ”

"Find him to ask for military salaries and food, and make up for the military salaries and food arrears owed by the court over the years! Isn't he Wei Bao very powerful, doesn't even Inspector Sun buy it? With such a big ability, there must be a way to make up for our food and salary! ”

"Yes, he Wei Bao is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and a little thing can make His Majesty personally make a holy decree, what is this little thing? Let's not say anything else, just ask him Wei Bao for silver and food! ”

The more the group talked, the more energetic they became, and they all felt that they had grasped Wei Bao's weakness.
