Under the dimming light, the faces of everyone in the light became a little strange and stiff.

"I've made it clear. You can do whatever you want, so why do you want to force me? ”

Zhang Biao, the captain with a bitter face, also waved his hand weakly.

These subordinates coveted each other, and they were about to persuade something, when they saw Zhang Biao kick the table in front of him to the ground, and the wine and food full of cases slammed on the ground, splashing and falling away.

This is a few people who also feel that something is not good, and they all want to surround the hand-copied knives. For a moment, it was like some kind of echo, and one could hear a rapid shouting and roar outside, and a brief exchange of swords and soldiers, similar to the sound of a skin being cut and punctured.

Then, in the night breeze that broke through the door and lifted the curtain with the smell of fresh blood, I saw a group of soldiers in armor rushing in, surrounding them, and holding swords to the corner of the wall. Only then did a young lieutenant arch his hand:

"Captain, the abnormal movements and suspects in the camp have been taken."

"Zhangtou, why is that? Why should we live up to our hard work. Don't be under the condescension, isn't it good to be your own master? ”

These old subordinates who were under siege couldn't help but change their faces and some people shouted hurriedly.

"Do you think that you colluded with the deeds of those old rebels to do everything foolproof? When the matter came, you pushed me out to do this wrong, is this your reward and kindness? ”

Zhang Biao, who looked thin and dark, still had a sad face.

"No matter how much selfishness and handle I have in Zhang, no matter how small my vision is, no matter how greedy I am for money and lustful, I will not casually kill myself. Seeing that following that noble man is a promising and promising situation, how stupid and slow you are to make this kind of short-term deed that takes advantage of the fire and kills yourself. ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand with all his strength.

"Take them all down, and keep them alive as much as you can, so that you may bear witness afterwards. Then you all have to do what you want, let me be quiet for a while."

Then, when all was calm for a while, he took out a pot of small boil from the table that had not yet been emptied, poured it into the cup he had picked up, and poured himself a drink.

It wasn't until a long time later that the shadow stretched more and more with the moonlight that penetrated through the window, and then he sighed heavily; The words he had just said were not only for these old subordinates who had failed to do anything, but also to the eyes and ears of those who were arranged in his own personal team and were subordinate to the non-commissioned committee and the various sections of social investigation and correction.

In fact, since the lord of the Taiping army was under his command, even among the soldiers he brought out from Annan, he could secretly pull people over as a means of concealment and surveillance; Not to mention these old ministries that weren't well-thought-out in the first place.

。。。。。

And in the annex in the south of the city,

"The last time we talked around the fireplace like this, when was it?"

Wang Pan was also sighing at Zhou Pang, one of the old ministers who came to visit at this moment, and now one of the Tuntian officials of Guangfu.

"When we were still in Yunzhou, Henan, we just beat a dozen dogs in the courtyard of the mansion, and just took the broken clay jar and filled it with snow, piled up firewood and grass and burned it indiscriminately to eat."

Zhou Pang is also full of remembrance.

"That's a good meal, sweating profusely, and I don't even feel the wound that fell on my stomach. As a result, when I fell asleep the next day, it was doubly painful. ”

Wang Pan smiled slightly.

"At that time, everyone ate enough meat and drank enough soup, and they all said that as long as they could be used like this every day in the future, they would die without regrets. As a result, two days later, Song Laobei died in battle, and then the wound fought by the Lu carpenter collapsed, and he died within a few days of carrying it down; Later, many people died, not necessarily without seeing ... ”

"In the past few years, there are only a few of us left. Although I want to eat a dog now.,It's also a matter of moving your mouth.,But it's not the taste and use of the original.。。 ”

Zhou Pang was very touched.

"But that's right. It's just that I'm still recuperating now.,There are too many taboos in the mouth.,But I can't use it with you.。。 But since you can work Lao Zhou to talk to me, I'm afraid there are other reasons; Did someone ask you for it in private? ”

Wang Pan nodded, and then asked.

Now, as the territory controlled by the Taiping Army grows larger, and among the thirteen prefectures and one government in Lingdong, which is the most stable, it is inevitable that in the process of increasingly strict governance, there will be some signs of corruption, fraud, and favoritism.

In addition, there are some negligence and mistakes such as slackness, shoddy, stealing, and waste, and there are also special discipline institutes and corresponding discipline officers under the division to inspect and deal with them. And these happen to be in the responsibilities of Wang Pan at this time to supervise the place.

It's just that because he is almost closed, these people who want to ask for love in private can hardly find many ways to hear in front of him, but can only make some ideas on his old people, who are already in the wrong position and can come to the house to visit.

"The head of the general is really clear."

However, Zhou Pang's eyes at this time also slowly became firm and unfamiliar.

"Actually, I just want to ask the general about the first thing. Or rather, to find a way to get rid of it once and for all. ”

Meanwhile. In the queue of torches through the streets and alleys, the former rebel leader Nan Qiyun, who was a little out of breath, was wearing a whole body and strangled his belly tightly; is also scolding and urging, carrying his own relatives.

He was born in the recklessness, and at a very young age, he followed the villagers in the famine and started a business of robbing roads. He worked until he became an adult, and he killed the old leader who was pressing him, and he was active in the lower reaches of Yunzhou Dayozawa.

Later, General Wang raised troops to cross the border, and he also took the opportunity to merge with several bandit leaders who came to discuss countermeasures, and then pulled up a group of people to defect. Because he was fierce and daring to fight and liked to condone the style of his subordinates, he was nicknamed "Nanshan Thief".

Later, the general of the Heavenly King was defeated and died in Huangmei, but he was able to get out of the siege of the official army and return to the command of General Huang; has experienced a lot of things, and has been broken up several times, and the ups and downs are still just the identity of a middle-level leader;

So when he met the alliance in Jiangzhou, after learning from the pain, he decided to take the net worth he had collected over the years, along with the assets he had obtained at the cost of the belonging of his subordinates; Together they boarded the ship and went south to the land of Guangfu, where the flowers are full of flowers and four seasons.

He also lived a leisurely life as a superior person; It's just that the money will always be spent less and less, and he is also not good at managing money and buying real estate; He is even more reluctant to invest his wealth in the Strait Society and the joint number, and the fruits of the long stream of water will slowly bear fruit. Instead, I listened to a businessman introduced by one of my own teethers, and wanted to ask for a short and quick profit.

And then, just without that; As soon as the ship went out to sea, there was no news, and the tooth man also evaporated from the world. Although the remaining net worth and property are still enough for him to live the life of a rich man for the rest of his life; But for him, who has become accustomed to maintaining a group of subordinates and slaves, and constantly embracing pomp and flattery, it is an unbearable gap.

So, he instinctively wanted to use the familiar knife to snatch everything back, but found that he had lost most of his reliance in a comfortable life, and was constrained by various laws and rules.

Then, it happened that his subordinates spontaneously re-copied the old business to do the burglary, but the patrols who were quickly curfewed outside the main door were arrested and suppressed. But it also inspired him to have the idea of doing something to change the status quo completely.

Then, when someone came to thread the needle in the saddle, he naturally joined forces with those who had their own demands, etc.; For this reason, he secretly scattered his wealth, gathered people who could still hold a sword, and made a big deal to become famous.

Thinking of this, he once again looked at the brightly lit and unaware movements in the neighborhood along the neighborhood, as long as this time was completed, he could take them away. I couldn't help but feel excited, and I cheered up.

Seeing that their eyes suddenly opened up, and only an empty wide street remained; And not far away, the museum is already where the door is wide open. That's what they're trying to do this time. There were also people standing inside and outside the door, waving lanterns, struggling to greet them.

Nan Qiyun couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, and whispered encouragement behind him:

"Children, it's up to you whether you eat meat or grass."

In the court room where Wang Pan was a guest, Zhou Pang's expression and tone had become a little intense.

"If you don't stand up and say something, if you don't make a statement for everyone; Why are these old brothers, all the young people who were promoted from the army, and the all kinds of peddlers and pawns who came out of the training center, all kinds of people have been squeezed out. ”

"What are we doing all these years of hard work? Isn't it just to be a superior man and enjoy the glory and wealth of life? After working hard all the way under his command, he took more and more rules and took away all our hopes. ”

"Just a cantonment official and a Rong nursing home, just to deal with us and send us away, even if you want to make more money to make some money, there are also people who have repeatedly warned us to point fingers. There's no way out of it. Is it that people are used as clay molds to step on the ground at will? ”

"Those who came to Guangfu to retire before also refused to accept the rules and treatment methods he set, which naturally echoed so that the world could know our intentions and attitudes."

"Now it's up to you to step up and give everyone a demonstration."

At this time, as if echoing his words, the outside gradually remembered some kind of faint noisy and chaotic noise.

"Is this what you really want and want?"

Wang Pan sighed heavily, he only felt that the number of times he sighed this night was much more than the first half of his life.

"Please rest assured that we will do our best to protect you no matter what. ，”

Zhou Pang also showed some kind of slightly sincere lust.

"What you mean by being thorough and protecting is to deceive the door in private and bring people in to take my wife and children hostage."

Hearing this, Wang Pan swept away his weakness, and his eyes burned on his face.

"I misunderstood the head, this is... What do you mean.. It's come to this point.,Please hurry up and recognize the situation.,Make a decision quickly.,Don't delay yourself for that person's sake.。。 If you make the scene ugly, I can't do anything to you. ”

Zhou Pang couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a little annoyance.

"The one who has to recognize the situation should be you. The old brother of many years has come to this point, but it is not what I want to see. ”

Wang Pan looked at him with a calm look that made people feel a little palpitating, and said indifferently.

At this moment, Zhou Pang had already noticed that although the noise in the distance was getting louder and louder, there was no sign of approaching, but it was gradually moving away. Then, Zhou Pang saw several familiar figures who walked in and were fully dressed.

"Zhou Tunguan is still safe, at least the people you brought are not good. But it took me a lot of effort. ”

"You, how could you... This is impossible, whether it is Shaoguan and Jiaoling Pass, or the people and horses of Chaoxun, there is no movement. What can you rely on? ”

He jumped to his feet in shock, and even the pier fell on the seat.

"To deal with you rats, why do you need to touch the soldiers and horses guarding and stationing everywhere. All you need to do is mobilize the garrisons of the five towns in Guangfu and the 28 tuns to patrol the children. ”

The Chinese army led by Yu Hou Chen Belly stepped forward and sneered.

In an instant, Zhou Pang had already reacted, and he copied the case and smashed it towards Wang Pan's direction, making the thing that would save the enemy; At the same time, it was Wei Wei who rescued Zhao, and used all his strength to crash out of the window, and then it turned into a terrible scream.

"Brother Wang, just settle down and live a good life for a few days. Why can't they live well? Isn't this kind of life without having to worry more and living in peace? ”

Listening to the faint sound of fighting from the city, Wang Pan, who described his emaciated expression as a little sad, continued to sigh:

"It's nothing more than the truth that people's hearts are insufficient, they have to look forward to Shu, and their desires are difficult to fill. It's just that some people can see their own abilities clearly, and some people are ambitious and talented but unwilling to be lonely, and they just want more."

Wang Chongyin, who had gray hair, also sighed deeply

"Then I don't know what Brother Chongyin thought in the first place."

Wang Pan changed his title with a meaning.

"Even if you have an idea, what can you do; Brother Zhou's rule is thorough and strict, and there is no room for dissidents. Therefore, even occasional ideas are just ideas. ”

Wang Chongyin said with a smile that was not concerned.

"Besides, the idea you had at the beginning is no longer important, the important thing is to be able to seize the opportunity in front of you."

"Brother Wang said very much, the past cannot be returned, and the future can also be expected, since it should be more focused on the present. In fact, before this, many people had secretly asked me whether I was willing to call. ”

Wang Pan smiled and said.

"But I don't know that Brother Zhou promised that I would make the Nucang army rise again in this world, so that all the hungry and suffering people I saw could live in peace. Along the way, he has doubled his promise; I think I should also follow the righteousness and faith, and look after the foundation of this big rear for him. ”

"Now this huge situation and career, there can be no Wang Leizi, there are still others who can share the labor, but there is no Brother Zhou to lead everyone. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know when we would fill in a ravine, and how would we have come to this good day of having children? ”

"If I am not content and do not know where my duty lies, will I not be able to keep even the good fortune and kindness that are in front of me. By the way, Brother Wang. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Pan changed his expression again and said to Wang Chongyin.

"The document I sent to Jiangzhou has been replied, and the newly established garrison area in Ezhou is in need of an old and stable person to sit in the town, in case the remnants of the officers and troops in Jiangbei are in trouble. It's just that you still have to take some subjects in the army. ”

"Thank you for the good intentions of the people who stayed behind, and thank you for the importance of the leaders; A certain self should be to repay the former with hard work, and practice the latter with heart. ”

Wang Chongyin suddenly brightened his heart and bowed his hand and thanked him; I can be regarded as having passed the other party's tests and trials.

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, a new look in the new year, sleep until you wake up naturally, and chase more than you even enter the palace.
