Chapter 212: Rushing for promotion, a little risk is nothing
Chapter 211: Rushing for promotion, a little risk is nothing
Late at night, the Le'an Town Inspection Division, which is only 50 miles away from the Gaojiagang Inspection Division, is also burning a blazing torch. However, the inspector who had led the archers to set up a card to intercept them in the past was standing there grovelling, not even daring to raise his eyelids. Just a few steps in front of him, a middle-aged man in a black coat was looking into the distance, and behind him were dozens of benchmark-like soldiers, and that kind of murderous aura not only made the inspection tremble, but also made a group of archers tremble.
When these people first arrived, they thought they were fighting geese all day long but they were pecked by geese, and they met a strongman on the underworld, but when the other party took out the paperwork, they were even more shocked. How could their small inspection department alarm such a big man?
"Is the information reliable?"
"Your Excellency, you can't be wrong. The little one has been staring at the Shouguang Palace, and he can see it clearly. ”
Hearing this categorical answer, Meng Xian immediately smiled with satisfaction. When he came to Shandong, he thought he was being degraded, and he was still a little sad in his heart, but he really settled down because of King Zhao's letter. The king of Han was sealed in Le'an, right under the nose of Beijing, but everyone knew that this master would not keep to himself, so he was appointed as the commander of Shandong, which actually had a layer of meaning of detecting changes on the spot. It was a shame that he claimed to be the strategist of King Zhao, but he was completely lost because he was commanded by the guards in the mountains.
"The order goes down, and they are all mentally ready to fight! Remember, be steady, don't hurt people's lives! ”
What Meng Xian brought out tonight was the old family of the Meng family, and he was called as a personal soldier in the army, so he was the most reliable. At this time, the orders were passed down layer by layer, and a group of people immediately replaced those archers, and arranged them in an orderly manner behind the fence. Seeing this posture, the patrol inspector's legs and stomach were weak, and he came forward in fear.
Meng ...... Master Meng. Here...... There's no need for it here...... Xiaguan, is it Xiaguan taking them to take refuge temporarily? ”
"This is the Inspection Department of Le'an Town, and this official still needs you to be a witness, so you naturally have to stay." Meng Xian sneered, and when he saw that all the archers were cowering there and didn't dare to speak, he immediately frowned, and then commanded in a gentle tone, "This is not a confidential errand today. After the thing is done, I will be rewarded, you just have to watch, there is nothing to do with you. ”
When the inspector heard that there was a lot of reward, and that he didn't have to exert any effort, his pale face changed a little, and he retreated to the archers. However, as the flickering torch in the distance drew nearer, his bloody face suddenly changed. A heart is pounding and beating hard. Just look at the long torch procession, there are at least dozens of big cars coming from the opposite side, and there are not many in the entire Qingzhou Mansion and even Shandong that can walk this kind of night road in the middle of the night, but this time it hit the iron plate.
"Open the fence. We are sending things from Shouguang Wangfu to Hanwangfu! ”
Meng Xian's face was still tense, but after hearing this, he smiled. Hiding in the shadows, he immediately glanced at the leader of the pro-soldiers on the side, only to hear a sharp whistle, and countless people jumped up vigorously behind the wooden fence. Slaughtered the coachmen and guards like a tiger out of the ground.
Those who escorted the car were listless and absent-minded, where did they think that they would be intercepted here? At that moment, a few clever people immediately drew their knives, but more people were still ignorant. Meng Xian was unintentional, the situation was naturally one-sided, the screams were mixed with angry scolding, and the sporadic sound of weapons was actually completely resolved within the tea kung fu.
After a brief fight, two soldiers came with an embarrassed guard. forced him to his knees. The guard is the head of the guard of the Shouguang Palace, he was used to being arrogant in the past, and at this time, seeing that things were not good, he still scolded with his neck scolded: "You are so bold, you dare to intercept the things of the vassal king, are you not afraid of a thousand knives?" ”
"All the things in the car?" Meng Xian ignored him, and asked the soldier directly, waiting for a positive answer. He looked down at the outrageous guard. "The vassal king is not allowed to pre-salt, this is a rule handed down during the Hongwu period. Shouguang Wangdi is not small, and he actually let people escort these twenty salt trucks to walk at night, these twenty cars are afraid that there are nearly 10,000 catties, right? Shandong Capital Salt Envoy Division can't pay salt at all now, but King Shouguang is privately tuning salt goods, this time it is really a stolen person! ”
When the guard saw Meng Xian speaking in an official tone, his heart suddenly chuckled. However, before he could ask a clear question, he was knocked unconscious with the back of a knife, and he didn't know anything after that. Meng Xian inquired about the casualties, and learned that there were no casualties on his side, and the team escorting salt had injured a few unlucky ghosts, so he immediately ordered the prisoners to be tied up and gagged, and ordered his own soldiers to escort the cart to continue the journey, and be sure to arrive at the Daqing River before early morning.
The inspector and the archers reluctantly pressed their fingerprints on the paperwork, and they were pleasantly surprised until the other party threw over a large ingot. Until everyone left, the inspector breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called an archer, and instructed him to report a message to the Gaojiagang Inspection Division - that group of people obviously called the Gaojiagang Inspection Division, this time the matter is not a trivial matter, the inspection department on both sides must have a good breath, and then report a message to the relevant people in Qingzhou Prefecture.
It's obviously a fight between the kings and the eight, and it will be bad luck if it hurts these little fish and shrimp!
Early in the morning, Mu Ning, who had something on his mind, naturally got up early, and just lazily played a set of punches in the yard, a henchman rushed in with a nervous expression on his face.
"Mu Zhenfu, someone from Shouguang Wangfu came to see him, saying that there is an important document to ask Jinyi Wei to transfer it on his behalf!"
"It's coming so fast!" Mu Ning's eyelids jumped, and then he took the towel from the hand of the person next to him and wiped his face, and then said happily, "Okay, I'll see you now!" You ordered, everyone cheered me up, the big and small officials of Qingzhou Mansion kept an eye on me, and the secret eyeliner was the same, three times a day to report the news, no delay! ”
Half an hour later, the two brocade guards set off from this courtyard and hurried to Beijing. After another half an hour, Mu Ning got two unexpected news. When he learned that two people who seemed to be unable to hit each other with eight strokes had taken action aimed at the same target, his face suddenly became extremely strange.
Meng Xian is just that, after all, it is King Zhao's person. But that Sun Lianggan is so bold?
Zhang Yue's news was not much slower than Mu Ning's, and the two inspection divisions happened to be under his control, and early in the morning, the two inspectors of Gaojiagang and Le'an Town ran together to ask for a meeting, and told them all about the events of last night. For the two Cheng Biting Jin who came out halfway, he was not so much surprised that he didn't expect this layer, but rather lamented that these two people were well-informed and crazy.
Are you ready to rely on such a thing to smash the King of Han? It was enough for Sun Lianggan to single-handedly avenge an arrow, but Meng Xian actually used such a thunderous method, which completely tore his face with King Han. Could it be that he is so desperate for King Zhao?
Due to this unexpected situation, after the evening hall of this day, Zhang Yue immediately went to the prefect Linghua to discuss. When he briefly mentioned the cause and effect, the prefect who had just been promoted from the general judgment gasped. It's no wonder that although Ling Hua, the prefect, was easy to come by, and he didn't expect to be able to sit down forever, if he was taken off his black gauze hat just after taking office, it would be too breathtaking. Come to think of it. As a Shangguandi, he didn't care about any face, so he simply bowed to Zhang Yue directly.
"Brother Yuanjie, I've been messed up, and I don't know what to do at all. All in all, I have nothing to do with you. Whatever you say, I can do it. ”
Zhang Hua hurriedly helped Ling Hua up, and said with a smile: "Lord Ling is too worried, when will it be our turn to take care of the affairs of the vassal king?" Lord Sun is making his own opinion, and Master Meng is a native of Shandong. We can't take care of it, now we just need to send a letter to the Shandong Political Division. ”
Seeing that Governor Ling nodded again and again, Zhang Yue said his true intention: "Actually, I have one thing to ask Lord Ling for help." Your Excellency must have heard that the Emperor had issued an edict asking for a blunt some time ago, and I have already planned to fold it together, but I wonder if your Excellency would like to sign with me? ”
Ling Hua has always been a cautious person, and he was a little hesitant when he heard what he wanted to sign, so he saw Zhang Yue take out a copy of the fold from his arms and hand it over. He reached out uneasily and took it, and hesitated for a moment before opening it. This is not important, read it from beginning to end, his eyes lit up, because he glanced at Zhang Yue and looked again from the beginning. After watching it twice in a row, he was sure that he was not mistaken, and immediately took a deep breath.
"Lord Zhang, with all due respect. This is clearly a salt article prepared by you alone. And it's exactly every word, so why do I need to sign it. Isn't this half of the credit for nothing? If Lord Xiao Zhang thinks that he is young and insignificant, but I remember that Envoy Du Bu is Lord Xiao Zhang's teacher, why don't you ask him to sign this article? ”
"Lord Ling, just because Master Du is my mentor, it is very inappropriate to ask him to sign with him, and he is in Jinan after all. Don't think that this is just a credit, this will also mention the recent situation of Le'an Shouguang Salt Farm, this time something like that, we will inevitably have to take responsibility. Besides, do you see the last one? This is to the point where it is kept, and it is not necessarily known how it will be at that time. ”
"This ......"
To say that he was hesitant at first, after hearing this at this time, Ling Hua was really moved. He is over forty years old, although he has just taken a step forward in this career, but this step is really unstable, if he can establish a reputation with such an excerpt, it is very likely that he will be a thoroughfare in the future. Rushing for promotion, what is a little risk?
After pondering for a long time, he finally nodded at Zhang Yue: "Since Lord Xiao Zhang can afford me as a prefect, then I will agree." It's just Lord Zhang, you have to explain a few of them to me. What kind of charter is this for capital money, and what kind of charter is this redemption? ”
Since Ling Hua agreed, Zhang Yue let go of the biggest concern, and then carefully explained it one by one. Suddenly, a bright white light flashed in the room where the candles were burning, followed by a thunderous rumble. The two people who were thinking raised their heads at the same time, and when they heard the sound of rain outside the house, they immediately looked at each other.
Is it the season of spring thunder?
