Shi Heng snorted coldly and said, "Who else should I have such a big face, it turned out to be the commander of the envoy." The commander of the left guard was so frightened that he trembled again, and said to the fan beside him: "I just came to have a meal of flowers and wine today, I didn't expect General Shi to have such a good luck, you guys don't hurry up and accompany General Shi, this is my eldest brother." "I can get mixed into the position of the commander, and I can understand a lot of the rules in the officialdom, and when I saw Shi Heng getting angry, I hurriedly used a sentence of pro-brother to get closer,

But the commander forgot that the level difference between him and Shi Heng was too much, and the officialdom rules of laughing and fishing in troubled waters in the past were not so applicable at this moment, Shi Heng snorted coldly: "You gave me the rest, when I was asking for food." ”

The commander of the left guard did not answer, but saw a team of men and horses killed, wearing military uniforms, led by the thorny head Yanbei in the morning, the commander of the left guard secretly said in his heart: What kind of is this?

Shi Heng looked sideways, Yan Bei also saw Shi Heng, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Yan Bei see the general." Shi Heng has a good impression of this upright young man, yes, he used to be so heroic and upright, but officialdom is like a big dye vat, no matter how pure a person is, he will become as ruthless as Shi Heng is now, and he has fallen into the problem of walking on thin ice. ”

Yan Bei didn't answer, but he saw a man in civilian clothes next to him clasping his fists and said, "Meet Uncle Wu Qing, meet Master Young Master." "Uncle Wuqing is the title of Shi Heng, although he is an uncle, his status is no different from that of the marquis, and the young master refers to Lu Yunzhi, Lu Yunzhi and Shi Heng glanced at each other, and looked at the man in civilian clothes, Lu Yunzhi politely arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency." ”

"The lower official household department pickets Zhang Gu." The man replied, Lu Yunzhi nodded, thinking that he might have seen himself in the court, the household picket is an official set up by Fang Qingze, although the official position is very small and only six grades, and the picket chief is only from the fifth grade, but the power is amazing, specializing in arresting officials who are corrupt and pervert the law for public and private purposes.

Lu Yunzhi has explained this kind of thing before, and he will punish corrupt officials when the world is decided, but recently, the phenomenon of eating empty salaries and pressing grain in various places has become more and more serious, and civil officials are also poor and extravagant and desperate to loot the people's fat and ointment, and the thirteen supervision imperial history and inspection institutes set up by the imperial court are not so conscientious, and the strength of the investigation is like scratching the itch in the boots, and it has no effect, so Fang Qingze, who is in charge of the household department, has set up a picket alone, once the situation is found to be true, he can be arrested on the spot and sent to the capital for trial, and all ministries, including all armies, must obey the dispatch, Cooperate with the investigation and punishment, the picket post because of the strict selection, the personnel are limited, so the effect will not cause turbulence, the eradication of one or two big rats will not form any obstacle to Lu Yunzhi's road, Fang Qingze's proposal was successfully passed with the support of Lu Yunzhi, and Yu Qian, the leader of the relevant military department, not only did not block the establishment of pickets but also praised it, and privately said: "Lu thief and other parties are really righteous thieves." ”

The more Lu Yunzhi looked at this Zhang Gu, the more familiar he felt, and it dawned on him after reading the name twice, and said, "Brother Zhang has been doing well lately." Shi Heng also wondered at this time, how did he know that when the Zhongzheng family was broken and died, everyone had hidden in an old Shandong shopkeeper's house, and finally the shopkeeper Huzi was killed, and his only son Zhang Gu was incognito, and fled to Timur through Fang Qingze's letter.

Zhang Gu and Lu Yunzhi were not familiar with each other, and after a polite exchange, Zhang Gu said to the commander of the left guard, who was still a little trembling: "After investigation, you and other commanders of the three guards are all corrupt and bent the law, using their power to seek money, hoarding grain and grass and falsely reporting military salaries, and now they are escorted back to Beijing." As he spoke, the two soldiers beside him were about to step forward and restrain him, but they saw the commander suddenly shouting: "I don't accept it, who is there any evidence and material evidence." ”

"I am a human witness, this is physical evidence, human evidence and material evidence are there, what else do you have to quibble." Yan Bei suddenly took out a few account books and said, the commander was still unwilling, and said: "I'm not reconciled, you are framed, you call me who is in charge of money and food." For a while, Yan Bei waved his hand, the soldier brought a sack and opened it, there was a human head inside, Yan Bei said: "Are you looking for him, as far as I know, this is your brother-in-law, I was caught just now, I refused to resist the law, and wanted to burn the account book, I have already killed him, the brothers and Zhang Gu Zhang present can testify for me, I am not killing innocents." ”

The commander of the left guard was a little stunned, he wanted his brother-in-law to repair Yanbei well, but he didn't expect to take his life, and now his official fortune is also worrying, it seems that letting Yanbei go to be the captain of the money grain school is really a bad move, and then look at the soldiers behind Yan Bei, most of them are money and grain officers, each of them dare not resist and obey Yan Bei's orders, and they think that they have been thorny Yan Bei's obedient obedience,

There was silence in Wanzi Building, not only because these people present now could not be provoked by ordinary people, but also because everyone was waiting to see a good show, and some of the generals saw the picket and Shi Heng present, and wanted to sneak away, but they were firmly blocked by several soldiers in the door, and wanted to be accommodating, but those soldiers are not allowed to leave now, and if you look carefully, their faces are very raw, they must have been dressed as soldiers by the guards brought from the capital, and it seems that it is not easy to escape.

A sedan chair at the door walked steadily to the door of Wan Zilou, the side window was lightly lifted, and a bearded man with a smell of wine in his mouth glanced at Wan Zilou but was shocked, and then said: "Don't stop the sedan chair, continue to move forward." "This person is the commander of the right guard of Tianjin who went to the banquet,

The commander of the left guard was shouting that he was wronged, but he saw the door of the second room of the four suites open, and out came a big man, naked on the upper body and only wearing a profane trousers, muttering: "Boss, what are you yelling about, you are in no mood to do anything." He came with the sworn brother Zuo Wei Commander, Tianjin Wei Commander, but he was stunned after speaking, he didn't expect so many people to stand at the door, he was in the room with a bed before, and there was a bathroom room in the middle, so naturally he couldn't hear the noise outside.

After glancing around, the commander was also in a cold sweat, Shi Heng looked at him coldly, and was about to scold in his mouth, but he was stunned, and then the leopard's eyes widened and he said two words in succession: "This, this." ”
