It was getting dark, and a few of them dressed up as hawkers set up stalls outside the Yulin Army camp, hoping to find the Yulin Army generals who were violent to the innkeeper's daughter.

"Third brother, it's getting dark!" The one on the far left yawned and said to the catcher.

Liao San turned his head and glanced at the door of the barracks, "Wait!" ”

After the sun set, the sky darkened, and there were soldiers coming back from outside one after another, Liao San and the others observed the generals returning to the camp and leaving the camp while shouting, but none of them had scratches on their faces.

Just as Liao San beckoned the brothers to collect the stalls and leave, three soldiers came together from the camp gate.

"Give Lao Tzu a sauce pork elbow!" One of the soldiers among the three walked up to Liao San's stall and pointed to the pork knuckle in the stewed pot and said.

Liao San had already sent out a few nail scratches on this person's cheeks, and while he was loading this person with pork knuckle, he turned his head to look at the fast catcher brothers next to him and glanced at them.

"Here, wrap it, eat it while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold!" Liao San handed the wrapped pork knuckle with sauce to the soldier in front of him.

The soldier took the sauce pork knuckle and went to pay for it, and as soon as he lowered his head, he found that he had an extra snow bright steel knife on his neck, and a voice came into his ears: "Don't move, or you die!" ”

With a "bump", Liao San smashed his fist when he tried to resist in the place, smashing the soldiers in front of him to the ground, and the other two soldiers were also controlled by his companions.

"Quick, bundle it up and take it away!" Liao San greeted, jumped over the stall and picked up the soldiers and ran towards the city gate, not even wanting the stall.

A few other plainclothes hunters also escorted the other two soldiers all the way to the direction of the city gate, and the Yulin soldiers at the camp gate found the abnormality and immediately ran out of a team of men and horses to chase after them.

"Stop, stop!"

Before being caught up, Liao San and others finally fled into the city with the suspect, but the pursuers were stopped outside the city by the guards at the city gate, and the two sides almost fought each other.

After a night of interrogation, coupled with the torture service, one of the three suspects who was arrested couldn't stand it, and finally confessed to his actions.

The next morning, after Zhao Junsheng returned to the Assassin's Mansion from the military camp outside the city, Taishou Li Yuande came to ask for a meeting, and Zhao Junsheng asked him to bring him in.

"Xiaguan Li Yuande meets the general!" Li Yuande walked into the lobby and bowed.

While eating breakfast, Zhao Junsheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the general, the case of the Wen Ji Inn has been solved, and it was the three Yulin soldiers who committed violence against the innkeeper's daughter that night, and the Jixian County Government has been squatting outside the Yulin Army camp outside the city in disguise for the past few days, and finally determined the identity of the suspect yesterday and arrested him, after interrogation, these three people confessed to what they had committed, this is the confession of the three of them, and they have all signed and detained!"

Zhao Junsheng put down his chopsticks, took the confession, looked at it, and asked Li Yuande: "Was the case tried by the Taishou Mansion or the Jixian County Government?" ”

"It was tried by the county government!" Li Yuande replied.

Zhao Junsheng finished drinking a bowl of gruel, "How does Yang Kuan plan to judge?" ”

Li Yuande said: "If it is the people under the jurisdiction of this government, Jixian County can judge according to the law, but those three people are soldiers of the Yulin Army, not people from this state, and they just don't know how to judge, so the lower officials came to ask to see the general, and asked the general to show them!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked: "If the people of Yuyang County commit crimes under the rule of your Yan County, how do you think they should be sentenced?" ”

"Naturally, you can judge how you want!" Li Yuande replied.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "So what is the difference in this case?" ”

Li Yuande said with a bitter face: "Of course it is good to be judged according to law, but what if Jia Zhou comes to the door to find trouble?" ”

With a "bump", Zhao Junsheng slapped the table violently, startling Li Yuande, "What trouble are you looking for?" You do things according to the rules, what reason does he have to trouble you? Look at you, all of you are usually five or six, you are very majestic in front of the people, and now you will be embarrassed when you meet the powerful! You go back and tell Yang Kuan, you can judge how you want, if someone is looking for trouble, you can't stand it, and all of them will retreat to General Ben, and say that General Ben let you judge like this! ”

"Yes, General!" Li Yuande turned around and left after agreeing, and only dared to wipe his sweat when he left the lobby.

A day later, after the verdict came down, Jia Zhou got the news, first the Jixian County Government asked Yang Kuan to release the people, Yang Kuan naturally did not dare to release the people, and pushed the matter to Li Yuande, the Taishou.

Jia Zhou ran to Li Yuande again to ask for release, and Li Yuande pushed the matter to Zhao Junsheng again, Jia Zhou was so angry that he made a fuss in the Taishou Mansion, and almost overturned the desk where Li Yuande tried the case.

Soon, Jia Zhou, who was making a big fuss in the Taishou Mansion, took a carriage to the Thorn Shi Mansion to find Zhao Junsheng.

While dealing with the official documents, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Why did my father-in-law come today?" ”

Jia Zhou suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "General, three of the Yulin soldiers in our escort will be arrested by the people of your Jixian County Government, and they will also be sentenced to be beheaded. Our family doesn't understand why the Jixian County Government wants to arrest our family's guards, and why dare to sentence them to be executed? Should the general give an explanation to our family? ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't raise his head: "What you said, General Ben knows that Taishou Li Yuande has already reported it, since Jixian County dares to arrest people and sentence them to death, it must be those three people who committed a capital crime, so there is no need to make a fuss at this time!" ”

Jia Zhou smiled angrily: "Good one, don't make a fuss!" The three of them are under the command of our family, even if they are guilty, it will not be Jixian's turn to judge, and the trial must be tried by our family, and even if they want to be judged, they should be judged by our family! Taishou Li Yuande has already said, this matter was specially ordered by the general, our family dares to ask the general what right he has to dare to dispose of our family's people, if the general does not give our family an explanation today, our family will definitely refer to you to the imperial court! ”

Zhao Junsheng put down the brush, closed the official document and put it aside, raised his hand and crossed it on the table to look at Jia Zhou and said: "You want to impeach the general to the imperial court, even if you go to impeach, the general will never stop you!" However, General Ben reminds you that General Ben will also play to the court about your connivance with the guards in Jixian County for bullying the people, ignoring the law and discipline, and shielding the criminal guards! Someone came, sent someone to tell Yang Kuan that the three Yulin soldiers violated the military law, and they should be beheaded according to the law, and they should be executed immediately. ”

"Yes, General!" The tooth general Chang Kun stood up, clenched his fists, and promised to turn around and leave.

Jia Zhou's face became ugly, "General Zhao, those three hundred Yulin troops are the entourage of the emperor given to our family, and if they want to be disposed of, they must be disposed of by our family, and you have no right to kill them!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Really? General Ben is now the highest military and political chief of Youliao, holding all the power of life and death, you are just a supervising army, the right to kill is in my hands, I want to kill them, what can you do to me? ”

"You······ Okay, you wait, our family will impeach you! Jia Zhou scolded and left.

Dongfang Chen, who was standing aside and watching the whole process in his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head, this Jia Zhou gained momentum too quickly, swelled quickly, and lacked endurance, if other officials who had been in the officialdom for a long time encountered this kind of thing, they would never go against Zhao Junsheng, not only would they not get any benefits, but they would also make the relationship stiff, and it would be difficult to get along in the future.

Although Jia Zhou has the emperor's order and is responsible for supervision, if he is a general with a weak personality and awe of the imperial court, he will naturally give him three points, but how can a general like Zhao Junsheng, who has a strong and soft personality, is not afraid of the powerful, and does not have much reverence for the imperial court, give in to him?

After receiving Zhao Junsheng's order, Yang Kuan, the county commander of Jixian County, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the three Yulin troops to be escorted to the mouth of the vegetable market to be beheaded, attracting the people of the whole city to watch, although his official position was appointed by the imperial court, Zhao Junsheng had no right to remove him, but Zhao Junsheng wanted to kill him easily, and he did not dare not obey Zhao Junsheng's order.

Jia Zhou suffered a dumb loss, and he was naturally unwilling, so he wrote a chapter overnight to impeach Zhao Junsheng for being domineering and overstepping his authority to kill his guards.

Zhao Junsheng naturally would not let Jia Zhou be impeached, and he also asked the well-written staff to write a note of impeachment of Jia Zhou, conniving at the protection of the people, harming the people, and violating military discipline.

Zong Ai in Pingcheng was impeached by Jia Zhou and Zhao Junsheng at the same time, and he had a headache after reading the two pieces, at this stage he didn't want to turn his face with Zhao Junsheng, his position in the imperial court was not stable, and he needed strong foreign aid support like Zhao Junsheng, and Jia Zhou was his henchman, if he didn't protect his henchmen, wouldn't it make his subordinates chill?

For a while, Zong Ai was quite embarrassed, and just didn't know what to do, a eunuch walked in outside the door and reported: "Lord, Hua Mulan asks to see!" ”

Zong Ai rubbed his temples and waved his hand: "Let her in!" ”

Hua Mulan, dressed in men's clothes, walked in, hugged her fists and said, "I've seen the prince!" ”

Zong Ai showed a smile on his face, got up and said, "General Hua is here, I don't know why you came to this king?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "Lord Wang, the last will come to Pingcheng for more than a month, I don't know what position the imperial court intends to let the last general hold?" You can't let the last general sit here all day without doing anything, right? If this is the case, please also ask the prince to report to the emperor and let the last general go home, the last general does not want to waste time here, and he can go home to give birth to his husband! ”

Zong Ai played Tai Chi, "The imperial court attaches great importance to the appointment of the general, so it has been thinking about it, and please don't be anxious!" ”

Mulan has been holding this breath in her heart for more than half a month, how can she not be in a hurry? She has been here several times, and every time Zong Ai finds an excuse to delay, as soon as she hears that Zong Ai is going to delay again, she immediately becomes angry: "Within three days, if the court is not appointed, the general will not even want the title and the name of the general, and go home directly!" With no official and no title, the imperial court can't restrict me from leaving Beijing, right? Hum! ”

After Hua Mulan left, an official next to her stood up and said in a very atmospheric manner: "Lord Wang, this Mulan is too unruly, come as she says, leave as she says, and lose her temper in front of the prince, who does she think she is!" In the opinion of the following officials, she should be punished for a great crime of disrespect! ”
