This rumor all pointed to Yang Congyi, at the time of the incident, he was the only official in the palace in Nanjianzhou, and he was full of big hats, as long as one of them was stable, the end of his career was small, and it was hard to say whether he could save his life.

But he immediately calmed down, this rumor was completely groundless, just because the official of the palace front division happened to appear in Nanjian Prefecture at the time of the incident, so he made up rumors and rumors, which was really a bit crazy.

After a sharp change of mind, Yang Congyi replied: "Xiaguan came from a slightly cold background, Shaoxing 16 years in the Anqing Army to assist the government to crack the prison escape case, has gone deep into the mountains for more than five months, recovered nearly 40 fugitives, was recommended by Anqing Zhijun Chen to enter the martial arts, from September of that year to Shaoxing 17 years of Layue, Xiaguan has been studying in martial arts, all the time is studying, rarely going out.

Seventeen years of the month of the province of Huang suddenly found the lower official, Xu Xiaguan to the official position, to the official to assist him in supervising the construction of the ocean back to Yi, a few days later the official left the martial arts, as the deputy envoy of the supervision began to supervise the construction of the Yi, because Huang asked the fleet to go to sea that year, the lower official first rushed to Quanzhou Shipyard to build an order for the construction of sea ships, returned to Lin'an in February, proposed to form a new army to escort the return to the Yi fleet, after the imperial court agreed to form the Xuanwei Army, the lower official invited three failed students to Huaixi to recruit new soldiers, recruited from March to April, Then he took nearly 1,000 recruits from Huaixi all the way to the Changguo County garrison in Mingzhou and began to assist in the training of the new army, which was already June at that time.

Later, due to the number of sea ships ordered in the first month is too small, and then to Quanzhou to add orders, Quanzhou construction is not enough, Xiaguan went to Guangzhou to shipbuilding, in short, Shaoxing eighteen years, Xiaguan has been running back and forth, all on the road, almost rarely stay in one place for more than a month. Layue Hui Yi fleet went to sea, Xia Guan accompanied him as a member of the Hui Yi army, and also supervised the Xuanwei Army, and then escorted the Hui Yi fleet on the warship, and then spent a year and a half overseas, either in the military camp or on the warship.

After returning to the Great Song Dynasty with the fleet in July last year, he was placed under residential surveillance in Lin'an for more than a month, and then officially appointed Xia Guan to join the army as the Xuanwei Army, and immediately went to the camp of the Xuanwei Army in Changguo to take up his post, but half a month later, he received an order from the imperial court to transfer the Xuanwei Army to Qinzhou in Guangnan as a whole, and the next official went south by boat with the Xuanwei Army, and after meeting the Lord Zhizhou in Qinzhou, he immediately transferred to Anyuan County, which is 100 miles away from Qinzhou City, and participated in the battle against Li Yue in Guangnan for several months, and was not ordered to return to Mingzhou with the Xuanwei Army until late March this year. At the beginning of April, he received an order to go to the front of the palace in mid-April to take up his post, and after half a month of coming to the front of the palace, he left Lin'an again to go to western Zhejiang and Fujian to verify his merits, and he had just returned to Lin'an. ”

He spent a lot of time talking about his main experience, and the two superiors in front of him did not interrupt.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Yang Congyi said again: "Xiaguan said so much, he had no other intentions, he just wanted the commander to let the Lord know that Xiaguan was from a slightly cold background, and he didn't have that qualifications, and he didn't have the opportunity to take refuge in the important ministers of the court." Except for Li Yue, who had escorted the envoy of Huiyi and Li Yue, the envoy of Lord Dai of Zuo Shilang, during the period of going to sea and returning to Yi, the lower officials did not know other high-ranking officials in the court, and they did not have the opportunity to get to know them. Xia Guan has always been a martial artist since he entered the martial arts, and he only wants to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and establish a reputation with the swords and guns in his hands! Fight for riches! Hope for the adults! ”

After he explained further, the two bosses remained silent.

Yang Congyi didn't know what they thought, but he had a clear conscience, if he dissected it, they still had some doubts, and he couldn't do anything about it, after all, he was a sesame mung bean official, how could he tell the commander of the front division of the palace, how to change his mind? can only say whatever he says, and he won't even have a chance to reason.

But now, the commander has given him a chance to plead his case, which means that he has a chance to reason.

"Yang Congyi, you just said that the Divine Cavalry Army has been in the medicinal materials business for three years, and the dead mastermind is the person in charge of the medicinal materials business, and most of the people who were robbed in Nanjian Prefecture were pharmacists, right?" Yang Cunzhong suddenly asked this sentence very unexpectedly, and he didn't seem to care about Yang Congyi's words.

"Exactly." Yang Congyi was slightly stunned, and then replied.

"The cavalry army gave you 50,000 taels of silver, have you ever asked them where they got so much money?" Yang Cunzhong asked again.

It seems that his thinking has stayed a long time ago, which made Yang Congyi very surprised, I don't know what the commander asked the Lord to ask what these have to do with the rumors, but he still immediately replied: "The lower official asked, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army said that they will send a ship to the sea once a year to do a sea trade, because they are forbidden troops and have a special identity, the city shipping department will not care about them, and the trade is more profitable." ”

Yang Cunzhong then asked: "In your opinion, the Chuzhou Dragoon, the Southern Jianzhou Divine Cavalry and the Quanzhou Xiao Cavalry, how are their combat strength?" ”

Yang Congyi thought for a while and replied: "How much combat power there is, the lower officials don't know, but judging from the number of soldiers in the army and their origins, the combat strength is worrying, and I am afraid that there is no strength to fight." ”

"How so?" Yang Cunzhong seems to have forgotten all the rumors he said.

Yang Congyi said: "Less than half of the commanders who have been named and inspected by the lower officials in the school field, and less than 100 of those people are really on the salary distribution roster, and the rest of the camp are just displaced people and disaster victims who are used to fill up the number of miscellaneous work. This kind of army, let alone fighting, is afraid that even if it goes to capture robbers and bandits. ”

"Is that true?"

"It's true!"

Yang Cunzhong nodded slightly, and then said, "Okay, it's none of your business, let's go down." ”

Yang Congyi didn't know what he meant, could it be that he was called here for this little thing? The rumored question hasn't been clarified for him, so let him leave like this?

But the commander has already spoken, what else can he do.

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

Yang Congyi raised his hand and saluted, then took a few steps back, then turned around and walked away quickly.

After leaving the official office, my heart suddenly lightened, and I exhaled loudly and settled down.

The front division of the palace is commanding the high power, and a word can determine the life and death of a person, and he has escaped a catastrophe for the time being, how can Yang Congyi not be happy!

But what will happen next, he is difficult to predict, although he has a clear conscience, but in the face of the power of all parties, he is as small as an ant.

Since you can't afford to struggle, just go with the flow and leave it to fate!

Yang Congyi left the palace and commanded the envoy to the yamen, and quickly returned to the office alone.

He knew that no matter what the result was, Master Zhang would tell him when he came back.

Just after he left, Yang Cunzhong suddenly said: "Zhang Bing's case, do you think what Yang Congyi said is true or false?" ”

Master Zhang hesitated for a moment and replied, "There is no need for him to tell lies. ”

"This son should pay more attention, he is either a loyal person or a traitor." The corners of Yang Cunzhong's eyes shrunk.

The reason why he doubted it was because Yang Congyi was too honest, everything he had experienced, what he had seen, and what he had heard, had not had the slightest reservation in front of him, and he told it all, either he was really frank, or he was scheming, he had already made preparations, and he was not afraid of anyone to investigate.

If it is a loyal person, everything is easy to say, if not, it is natural to expel the temple chief, or get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!" Lord Zhang raised his hand.

"Let's go back, and come in three days with the school selection charter." After Yang Cunzhong said this, he lowered his head and looked at the document in front of him.

"Yes, the official will take his leave."

After Master Zhang got up and saluted, he hurriedly left, not wanting to stay for another moment.

Being with high-ranking officials and dignitaries really made him feel very uncomfortable.

After Master Zhang left, Yang Cunzhong immediately called the captain and ordered: "Go and check the details of Yang Congyi, the secretary of the military case, and I will know all the news about him within three days." ”

The lieutenant answered, quickly withdrew, and immediately led people straight to the yamen of the front of the palace.

Since the beginning of the Song-Jin Peace Conference ten years ago, the status of military attachés and military generals in the Great Song Dynasty has been degraded again and again, especially after a group of famous generals and marshals handed over their military power and retired from the army, the status of the warriors is not as good as day by day, the status is greatly reduced, and the military spirit is scattered.

Originally stationed on the Huai River, the Yangtze River, can be used to the battle of hundreds of thousands of garrison troops, in recent years the armament is lax, it is difficult to have a few drills and teachings a year, from top to bottom all in the mix of eating and waiting for death, in the DPRK has no half of the power, the same is true of the forbidden army under the command of the former division of the palace, except for a few forbidden armies guarding Lin'an, the rest of the forbidden army is even worse than the current garrison army.

Even if the status of the martial artists has been unbearable to such an extent, the civilian official group in the DPRK who bite their lips still refuses to give up, and they are bent on trampling all the warriors under their feet, so that they will never have a bright day, which makes Yang Cunzhong, the only martial artist standing in the middle of the court now, not annoyed?

Ten years ago, the Great Song Dynasty was swaying with the wind and rain, but the military generals came out in large numbers, but now the talents are withering, the veterans are few, the king of Xian'an County is dying, the king of Qinghe County Zhang Jun does not ask about the world, Shaobao Wu Xuan has been in the northwest border pass for a long time, far away from the court, and the pressure exerted by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty on the warriors has all let the former division of the Gongguo Palace command Yang Cunzhong to carry it alone.

Those flirtatious literati just wanted to use the matter of Nanjianzhou to give a warning to the forbidden army and garrison troops in the world, warning them not to act recklessly, let alone be careful, the most important thing is not to grab food from the local government, that is the forbidden body of all literati, and vulgar warriors are not qualified to touch it, and they can't even look at it.

Yang Cunzhong has been in the DPRK for more than ten years, and he has already seen all this clearly, Han Shizhong can't stand the exclusion of the Manchu civil officials and leaves Lin'an, and Zhang Jun can't stand the sarcasm and resign and return to his hometown, and he Yang Cunzhong can't.

Grandfather Yang Zongmin and father Yang Zhen were all killed in the battle with the Jin Army, throwing their heads and spilling blood for the imperial court.
