Chapter 53 Changes in the Camp (I)
Although the Zhu County Order came strangely, but everyone has arrived in front of the gate, Lei Ming naturally can't turn it away, so he brought a few personal soldiers to meet out, and when he came to the front of the camp gate that rejects the antlers of the horses, he also had a trace of a sincere smile on his face, and when he saw the green-robed official standing there, he said loudly: "It's really a rare guest, I don't know what kind of wind this blows the Zhu County Order to the end of the general." As he spoke, he strode forward and clenched his fists at Zhu Xuan again and again.
Zhu Xuan was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but now seeing Lei Ming so warm and polite, his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly took a step forward and bowed back: "Lei Qian is polite, the sudden visit of the lower official today did not disturb the affairs of the army." ”
"Lord Zhu is serious, don't say that there are no important things in the army now, even some things can't compare to your official business. Please talk about it in my account first. Lei Ming is a martial artist, naturally it is impossible to have too much politeness and attention like a scholar, after saying a few words, he stretched out his hand and invited Zhu Xuan and a few others to enter the camp to talk in detail. In this process, he didn't take a closer look at the people who came with Zhu Xianling, let alone Zhengde, even Yang Chen, who had a few encounters with him, was not noticed by him.
Zhu Xuan glanced at Zhengde with some apprehension, and saw that he did not look unhappy, so he mustered up the courage to walk ahead. After all, the identity of the Son of Heaven of Zhengde can't be known to others, so he can only be wronged first, so that people can regard him as an ordinary attaché.
However, if Lei Ming and the others could carefully observe the lineup of these so-called county magistrates behind them, they would definitely be able to see some clues-these people, including Yang Chen, were actually surrounded by Zhengde and completely protected him, but they left the county magistrate alone outside. It's a pity that these warriors have limited eyesight, so they don't see the flaws at all.
Everyone walked to the depths of the military camp with the thunder in a somewhat strange formation, and when they passed one of the military tents, a somewhat panicked look flashed inside: "Sure enough, it's Zhu Xuan, he's not dead...... In this way, he probably came out of nowhere to know something. How good is that? ”
"I think the only way to get out is to get out first. You also know Lei Ming's temperament, he has always been unable to rub sand in his eyes, once he knows what you and I are doing in private, I'm afraid it will ......" As he spoke, he shuddered, obviously a little scared.
"I'm afraid this is not easy, the camp has always been tightly guarded, and it is very laborious to enter and exit without military orders. And, perhaps, he's just bluffing us? If we run away with a weak heart, we will fall into his arms. You also know that these readers are the most insidious. The third person said with some hesitation.
"This can't be done, that's not good, are we just waiting here to die?" The panic in my heart makes my temper become more and more irritable.
"For today's plan, there is only one way, start first!" The third person's eyes suddenly sank: "Let's quickly gather the people and get rid of Zhu Xuan and his attaché while they are still on guard." As soon as he dies, there is no proof of his death. In addition, Lei Ming may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, and in order to protect himself, he can only help us cover up the truth together. It's a big deal to give him some benefits afterwards. ”
After a little hesitation, the other two finally gritted their teeth: "That's all, according to what you say, let's fight this one." When he said this, the faces of several people looked a little hideous, but they regretted it more or less in their hearts, regretting that they had embarked on this dangerous road of no turning back because of greed for a while.
Soon, the three of them got out of the tent one after another, and then each called his cronies and began to make arrangements.
At this time, Yang Chen and his entourage, who came to the main tent of the Chinese army with Lei Ming, did not know that the crisis was imminent, and still sat down in the tent according to the rules, but Zhengde, who was the first person in the world, could only sit down. However, this man did not look unhappy at all, but was quite curious about the military tent of this junior officer, looking around, looking at the furnishings in this tent from time to time, and did not know what he was thinking.
After letting the tea come in, Lei Ming asked straightforwardly: "Zhu County Order, why did you come to my camp today?" If there's anything I can do to help you, just ask, and I'm not going to shirk it. In his opinion, Zhu Xuan was able to come to see him in such an capacity, regardless of hesitation, and he must have encountered difficulties in some things, so he said this.
Zhu Xuan moved his body in his seat a little uncomfortably, and being with the emperor already made him, an official who was deeply influenced by the thoughts of the loyal monarch, a little at a loss, not to mention that he was still sitting on top of the Son of Heaven. After subconsciously glancing at Zhengde, he coughed dryly and said, "When the lower officials came today, there is indeed an important matter that needs to be discussed with Mr. Lei Qian. Moreover, this matter is also related to the safety of my deviation pass, and even the entire Great Wall defense line. ”
"There are such things, and I am listening to them." Seeing that what he said was serious, Lei Ming also quickly straightened his face.
"Just half a day ago, when Xia Guan went to check the granary......" Zhu Xuan adjusted his mentality, and then he told him what happened before. When he heard that he had been assassinated, Lei Ming's face really changed, and when he heard that those assassins were actually from the military camp, he was even more shocked: "Is this true? ”
"How dare Xia Guan talk nonsense about such an important matter? And this matter is not the most serious, what is even more serious is that the lower officials will be assassinated by them, and it is also very related to a fraud case in Guancheng that I have turned to Guancheng now. According to the investigation of the lower officials, in the past few years, some people in the county government and some scum in the barracks have colluded with each other, and they have actually stolen the sand and stones used to build the fortress to turn the dragon into a phoenix, so that the wall has no defense at all. Mr. Lei Qian, the stakes are very high, you can't ignore it! After explaining the matter with a stern expression, Zhu Xuan stared at the other party nervously again, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
If this matter is also related to Lei Ming, or even if he is one of the masterminds of this corruption case, then he and the others will send sheep into the tiger's mouth when they come today, and it will be completely over.
Fortunately, Lei Ming did not suddenly sneer as he feared, or vigorously denied it, or directly revealed his crime, but suddenly got up from the chair, stepped in front of him in one step, and shouted urgently: "Zhu County Order, are you serious?" It's not a joke......"
Although the other party's sudden action really startled Zhu Xuan, he still quickly calmed down and looked back at the other party calmly: "The matter is big, how dare the lower officials arrange it casually?" This is the fact that the relevant criminals in the county government have been taken down by me before, and there are also their autographs and drawings on it, Lei Qian, you can know the truth at a glance. As he spoke, he took out the confession hidden in his sleeve and handed it over.
Lei Ming took the confession from the other party's hand like a robbery, swept it over at a glance, and instantly turned from red to blue, and the green tendons on his forehead were highlighted one by one, and he gritted his teeth and said: "These people, do they really dare to hide from Lao Tzu to do such a thing as forgetting their ancestors and betraying the court?" As he spoke, his breathing became extremely heavy, and he was obviously so angry that even his claims became vulgar.
"I hope that Mr. Lei Qian will quickly order to take down all the relevant people mentioned above. Maybe they have another accomplice. If you still don't believe it, Mr. Lei Qian, you can go to the gate that is still under construction to check it out, they must not have had time to cover up their mistakes. Zhu Xuan hurriedly added.
"Someone is coming, ......" Lei Ming immediately turned around and yelled outside the tent.
The curtain was lifted immediately, and two soldiers entered: "What does the general command?" ”
"You guys will bring a team of people and horses to arrest Guan Changxing, Gao Bao and Ge Wei for me, I have something to ask them!" Lei Ming immediately ordered. He was indeed as his subordinates believed, jealous and hateful, with a strong personality, and he couldn't rub a little sand in his eyes.
The two pro-soldiers were familiar with his character, and when they saw him like this, they knew that those generals in the army must have angered their own Qianzong, so they hurriedly agreed with their fists, and they wanted to withdraw from the tent and arrange manpower.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Slow." Mr. Lei Qian, Zhu County Order, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to do this! Everyone followed the sound and saw Yang Chen standing up with deep brows.
"You...... I seem to have seen you somewhere, just two days ago......" Although he was in annoyance, after carefully looking at Yang Chen a few times, Lei Ming still vaguely remembered the other party's appearance.
Yang Chen hadn't explained yet, but Zhu Xuan opened his mouth first: "Mr. Lei Qian, this is Yang Chen, the canonical history of our county government, so this time he was able to understand the conspiracy of those thieves, and it was all because of his birth and death." ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard that the other party was a county official, Lei Ming's thoughts in his heart were a little light, and then he said urgently: "You said that it is inappropriate to do this?" But what's the problem? ”
"Xia Guan thought about it for a moment just now, I'm afraid that we would have already alarmed those people by entering the barracks so directly, and wouldn't they be vigilant? If Lei Qian suddenly sent someone to get someone at this time, I was afraid that they would jump off the wall in a hurry. In the opinion of the following officials, it is better to strike first, and immediately Lei Qian personally led people over and captured them in one fell swoop. Yang Chen quickly gave his own views and strategies.
"Hmm...... It's good. Lei Ming also knew that the three people mentioned just now were old men in the army, and their seniority was older than that of his own Qianzong, if they really instigated their subordinates to resist, things would really be difficult to handle.
"You hurry up and order all the people, Lao Tzu will take them down with his own hands and punish them!" Lei Ming quickly made a decision and ordered.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, a cold voice sounded from outside the tent: "Don't work hard for Mr. Lei Qian, we have already come by ourselves!" As he spoke, the curtain was lifted from outside......
