(Recommended reading: The so-called three classes of servants, refers to the strong class, the capture class and the station class, the catch class is what people often call the fast catch, and the standing class is those errand officers who stand on both sides of the lobby when they ascend to the hall, each of them does not belong to the subordinate and acts independently. net

It must be pointed out that the third class of officials are servants and not officials, that is, they are not members of the courtyard establishment, and the errand belongs to the nature of servitude, which is often referred to as lowly status.

"My lord, where are you going so late?" The concubine sleeping on the bed was awakened, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked puzzled.

"The people of the new army were beaten by the Cao gang in the casino, and Lord Ben is going to deal with the aftermath to avoid the situation from escalating."

Niu Shangwei smiled bitterly helplessly, and then scolded hatefully, "This group of damn Cao Gang, they really ******don't have long eyes, they actually pick such a time to stir up trouble!" ”

"If you don't fight, you will fight, but a few are just a few soldiers." The concubine sat up and complained to Niu Shangwei dissatisfied, the bare shoulders and white flowers on her breasts were very attractive.

"The new army is different, it is a forbidden army formed by the emperor, directly led by the new champion, and now the person who beats the new army is like a slap in the face of the new champion, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, which is simply not to give the new champion face."

Niu Shangwei shook his head helplessly, and said to the concubine worriedly, "The new champion is young and vigorous, some time ago, he smashed a green building in the capital by transferring a new army to a Mongolian concubine, and now that the new army is beaten, how can he turn a blind eye?" ”

"Baby, you go to sleep first, maybe I won't come back at night." As he spoke, Niu Shangwei rushed out of the room while buttoning his clothes, and hurriedly led people to the casino to check, he didn't want the situation to get out of control.

"Alas!" Looking at Niu Shangwei's figure leaving, the concubine couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but be jealous of Naren Tuoyalai, who was also a concubine.

Although Niu Shangwei doted on her, it was for selfish desires, and he would never dare to rush into the capital to smash the Qinglou like Li Hongyu did.

At this moment, the Cao Gang General Hall.

"Helper, it's not good, our brothers in the casino beat the people of the new army!" A big man walked quickly to a bedroom in the backyard and reported through the door.

"What's going on?" A moment later, the door creaked open, and a sturdy middle-aged man walked out in his coat and asked quietly.

"Helper, according to the brothers in the casino, there were several sergeants of the New Army who were drunk and making trouble, so the brothers stepped forward to stop them, and a verbal discord broke out." The big man hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It seems that the brothers have made a bit heavier, and someone in the new army has hung up the lottery." ”

"Hurry up and find out!"

This sturdy middle-aged man is Yang Xiaotian, the leader of the Cao Gang, and his brows suddenly furrowed when he heard this, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Let the people from the casino go to the lobby in the front yard." ”

"Boss, what happened?" The big man hurriedly left after bowing his hand to Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian returned to the room with an expressionless face, and a middle-aged woman got off the bed and asked with concern.

"The people in the casino have beaten the new army, and I'm going to deal with it." A smile appeared on Yang Xiaotian's face, and he comforted the middle-aged woman and said, "You sleep, I'll come when I go." ”

The middle-aged woman is Yang Xiaotian's wife Lu Shi, Lu Shi and Yang Xiaotian have been married for many years, have seen countless winds and waves, and know that the Cao Gang has encountered difficulties this time, otherwise the people below would not have come to disturb Yang Xiaotian at this time, and Yang Xiaotian would not have left at this time.

Cao Bang General Hall, Council Hall.

"Helper, it's really those new troops who deliberately make trouble, we are forced to do it as a last resort, where did we think that those new troops turned out to be soft persimmons so unbeaten, and the brothers were injured before they could use their strength."

A round-faced middle-aged man stood in front of the hall, and explained to Yang Xiaotian with a red face, he was Fang Hai, the person in charge of the casino, Yang Xiaotian's henchman, and now that such a serious matter had happened, he naturally had to report to Yang Xiaotian.

"Why are you so careless, don't you know who they are?" Yang Xiaotian stared at Fang Hai and asked in a deep voice.

"The brothers just wanted to teach them a lesson and let them know the rules, but they didn't think they would hurt them." A wry smile flashed at the corner of Fang Hai's mouth, and he opened his mouth to defend, "It was they who provoked the incident, and the brothers had to do it in order to maintain the order of the casino. ”

"You, this time you have caused a big trouble for the gang leader, do you know that this Li Hongyu is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he has the power to impeach hundreds of officials, and even the governor of Caoyun respects him for three points, but now you have injured his people, where is his face?"

Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he heard this, looked at Fang Hai with an expressionless expression and said, the key to the matter now is not who made the first move, but the people in the casino who injured the soldiers of the New Army, which is a headache for him.

"Helper, one person does things and one person is responsible, I will surrender in the yamen tomorrow and carry this case down."

Fang Hai gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and said to Yang Xiaotian in a deep voice, "I also hope that the helper can settle his subordinate family members." ”

"Fang Hai, you have followed me for so many years, is it possible that this gang leader is the one who abandoned his brother for his own sake?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian glared at Fang Hai and said, "What kind of character is Lord Qincha, how can he easily prevaricate in the past?" At that time, his target will probably be our Cao Gang. ”

"Helper......" Fang Hai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, he didn't expect him to bring such a big trouble.

"You get up first, let's think about countermeasures together." Without waiting for Fang Hai to finish speaking, Yang Xiaotian waved his hand at him, the top priority was how to deal with the next thing, rather than rushing to investigate the responsibility.

Doge's Palace.

"My lord, we have successfully completed our mission."

In the living room in the backyard, several soldiers of the New Army who were stained with blood entered the door under the leadership of Ma Xianglin and bowed in unison to Li Hongyu, who was sitting in his seat.

These soldiers were the ones involved in the conflict with the Cao Gang in the casino, don't look at their bloody faces, in fact, there is nothing at all, the blood on their bodies is all pig blood, they deliberately staged a good show of being injured in the casino for outsiders to see.

You must know that the soldiers of the new army are the brave elite of the Ming army, and the people who can follow Li Hongyu are the elite of the elite, how can they be easily injured by the Cao Gang who are watching the scene in the casino, if they are serious, I am afraid that it is the Cao Gang who fell to the ground and was injured.

"Very good, you guys can rest here for the next few days, and don't worry about the rest." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, I'm afraid no one in the outside world would have thought that the matter of the casino was just a game laid out by him.

"What's going on at the casino?" Several soldiers bowed to Li Hongyu and left, and Li Hongyu asked Ma Xianglin.

"The Niu prefect has rushed over, and now the people from the government have surrounded the casino." Ma Xianglin smiled, "I'm afraid Governor Niu won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

"Tonight is just the beginning, I'm afraid he won't even be able to eat tomorrow." Li Hongyu also laughed and said to Ma Xianglin, "Tomorrow's affairs will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do things well." Ma Xianglin bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and replied in a high-spirited manner, Li Hongyu had already arranged everything, and he was just carrying out the task now.

But even so, Ma Xianglin was very excited, knowing that this is Huai'an City, one of the four most prosperous and wealthy cities along the Daming Canal, and it is not an opportunity for everyone to show their strength here.

"I'm going back to sleep." Li Hongyu smiled when he saw this, yawned and went back to the bedroom, ready to sleep comfortably, tomorrow will be a new day.

The next morning, a low roar sounded on the official road outside the west gate of Huai'an City, attracting the people on the road to look sideways.

In the distance, a cloud of dust rose on the official road, and in the dust mist was a group of cavalry riding tall horses, speeding along the official road, causing the pedestrians on the road to dodge to both sides, pointing at the cavalry on horseback wearing front-cardigan uniforms and pointing and talking, they had never seen soldiers dressed so strangely.

These cavalry naturally belonged to the new army, a total of 500 cavalry, led by Chai Shixiu, who was Li Hongyu's accompanying escort, and arrived in Huai'an today according to the distance.

"Adjutant Ma Xianglin, are you here to greet me or do you have official business?" After coming to the west gate of Huai'an City, Chai Shixiu stopped pulling the reins of the horse, and asked Ma Xianglin who was standing outside the city gate with a smile.

"General Chai, this official is here to wait for the general."

Ma Xianglin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Chai Shixiu in a deep voice, "Last night, the people of our new army were beaten in the casino in the city and were seriously injured. ”

Li Hongyu went south on the order of Emperor Wanli, so he is also known as the Qincha in the eyes of the people, but his Qincha has a higher gold content and is appointed as Hanlin.

"How can this be reasonable, it has bullied the head of our new army!" Chai Shixiu was furious when he heard this, and shouted at Ma Xianglin, "Adjutant Ma, lead the way ahead, I want to see who is so bold and dares to attack the official army." ”

Ma Xianglin immediately got on a mount to lead the way in front, and led Chai Shixiu and other cavalry into the city in a mighty manner, which made the people along the way follow the back of the team to watch the excitement and talk about it one after another.

What happened in the casino has spread all over Huai'an City overnight, and now that the cavalry of the new army is here, then the new army that has suffered a loss will definitely not give up, and naturally there will be a good show, and everyone wants to see what will happen.

At this time, the spies of various forces in Huai'an, who were investigating the situation at the city gate, hurriedly went back to report to their masters, and it seemed that the matter of the casino was now a big trouble.

Cao Gang.

"Oops!" Knowing that Li Hongyu had brought a cavalry force of five hundred people, and that the generals of the cavalry unit had already rushed to the casino with great momentum, Yang Xiaotian's heart suddenly sank, realizing that something was wrong and the situation might be intensified.

"Someone, notify me, let the Lord of Baixiang leave Huai'an immediately with the family members of the main hall, and you must not come back without the order of the gang leader."

After the initial shock, Yang Xiaotian gave an order to the entourage on the side in a deep voice, these family members were the family members of the Cao Gang who were above the level of the incense lord, and he must ensure the safety of those family members.

According to the hierarchy of the Cao Gang, from high to low, they are the gang leader, the deputy gang leader, the hall master, the deputy hall master, the incense master and the deputy incense master, which is the central force of the Cao Gang.

The entourage didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and bowed to Yang Xiaotian, and hurriedly went to find the white incense master.

Yang Xiaotian frowned and groaned for a while, walked to the study in the back hall, knelt down in front of the table and began to write a letter, he had a bad premonition, so he had some things to explain, otherwise the Cao Gang would have to mess up, this was not a scene he wanted to see, otherwise how would he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Cao Gang under Jiuquan in the future.
