"Ah, go on, what else?" Li Zhipeng shouted angrily.

"There are still some empty salary problems, I heard that the imperial court has long wanted to take us under the knife, but we can't find a breakthrough, in case Xiao Liao makes all the moves at once, of course the adults are innocent, and there is no need to be afraid, but if the brothers below fall down, who will give your old man his life to fight." The commander is the one who gives the way.

Li Zhipeng's face was pale, this clearly meant that Sang scolded Huai, he had never robbed the people's daughters, but the best and most beautiful of the people's daughters that the generals had robbed were all paid tribute to him, and he had never eaten empty salaries, but all the generals under his command who ate empty salaries would honor him half. These are just two of the more serious problems, and there are even more of them that are messy and illegal.

He never cared about the fights between his soldiers and the residents, and the incidents of stealing chickens and dogs, and the governor Wang Chonggu sometimes signaled him to advise his subordinates to be more restrained, but he said that he should maintain the blood of the soldiers, and if they could not win the fight, what kind of battle would they fight.

The officers of the Ming Dynasty were not good at fighting, and they were all good at harassing the people, and the imperial court was also well aware of its drawbacks, but it was hard to find a good solution, so it gradually began to shift its focus, training new troops in batches, and wanted to rely on these newly trained troops to protect the territory in the future.

However, the original officials and troops were all the products of the military household system set by Emperor Taizu, and no one dared to abolish them, so the number of officials and soldiers on paper was very huge.

Li Zhipeng thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "You take your brothers and go to the Governor and ask him to bring people back." ”

The commander was dumbfounded, "That's it...... It's as simple as that? ”

"Does that need to be complicated? If you tell the Governor, just say that I mean: even if Xiao Liao has a problem, it should be interrogated by our army itself, and then inform them of the results, and the Jinyi Guards should not arrest people indiscriminately, let alone tolerate the Jinyi Guard's abuse of torture on our own generals. ”

"Okay, I'd better write an official letter."

Li Zhipeng wrote an official letter to Governor Wang Chonggu, asking Wang Chonggu to bring back the people and hand them over to him to try the case.

The commander took the letter as an arrow and left, and then he took several generals from thousands and hundreds of households to the governor's yamen, and heard that the governor was invited by the minister, so he had to come to the post house where the minister was staying.

When they arrived outside the inn, they were shocked.

Now the outside of the post house is densely packed with Jinyi guards, all of whom are embroidered with spring knives out of the sheath, as if they are facing a great enemy, and no one is allowed to approach for no reason.

The commander led his men to the gate on horseback, and before they could get close, several guards stepped forward to stop them, shouting: "Who dares to break into the mansion where the Qincha is stationed? ”

The commander hurriedly dismounted and said loudly: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, we are border army brothers, and we have come to find the governor Wang." ”

"Governor Wang is busy inside, and I don't have time to see you now, so I'll wait outside." Don't block at the gate, wait somewhere else. ”

The guards of the Jinyi Guard saw the complements on their bodies representing the commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, but they didn't care, now that the post house has all entered a state of alert, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will.

The understanding of these Jinyi guards is that the order is strictly enforced, and those who dare to disobey will be killed. Not to mention the commander, even the chief officer has to wait for the summons here, otherwise he has to wait outside.

The commander's face turned blue, this is their territory, when was it taken over by the noise?

It's just that everyone knows that Jinyiwei is so domineering, even if they are not convinced in their hearts, they don't dare to show it, looking at these Jinyiwei people is really not joking, if they dare to break in, these people really dare to cut them.

They are now too few of them to be a match for these people at all.

"What should I do, my lord, can't you just wait?"

The commander stepped forward again and arched his hand: "Brothers, please make it convenient, I have here an urgent military official document from the chief soldier to the governor, if it can't be delayed, please just pass it in." ”

When the guards heard that it was an urgent document or a military affair, they did not dare to slack off, so they sent someone in with this official letter to find it and ask for instructions.

At this time, the three-hall trial has just begun, and Liao Bingxun has only just arrived.

Besides, I heard Ji Chang say that there was an urgent message from the chief military officer to the governor, so he asked people to pass it on to Wang Chonggu, in case it was a military situation report from the border pass, it would naturally not be delayed for a moment.

After Wang Chonggu read the official letter, he sneered, and said secretly in his heart: What a fierce general, he actually sent me an official letter.

According to etiquette, only officials at the same level can send official letters to each other, such as county to county, government to government, political envoy to political envoy, etc., although the general soldier is also a three-grade official, and Wang Chonggu is at the same level, but the Ming Dynasty is a civil system of military control, the military attache must be within the jurisdiction of the civilian official, and the general soldier is more than three points shorter than the governor, and the first level is more than one.

A governor can command more than one army, depending on the size of the area under his jurisdiction. At that time, Yang Yiqing, an important minister, had served as the governor of the three sides three times, commanding all the soldiers at the three border passes, which was called the real high power, at that time, Yang Yiqing's chief military officers did not have ten but also eight, where did the chief military officer come from to argue with the governor?

He crept up to him and showed him the letter.

Besides, he sneered and said: "Trouble Lord Wang sent someone to tell this chief soldier that the case has officially entered the three halls for trial, and if he is interested, he can come and observe." ”

Wang Chonggu understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, the lower official will send someone to inform him." ”

The three-hall trial is the highest level of trial, once the three-hall trial is officially launched, even the emperor will not easily interfere, can only wait for the result, generally speaking, the emperor will respect the judgment of the three-hall trial, because this is the trial that most highlights the law of the country. At least until now, the emperor has often vetoed the verdict drawn up by the Criminal Department, but he has never vetoed the verdict of the three sessions.

All the court officials recognized that the three sessions were the most fair, and they all respected them enough, and as long as it was the result of the three sessions, they were generally not questioned.

Besides, it means exactly this, he has already entered the three halls of trial, even the emperor will not reach out to ask for someone, what qualifications does he have as a mere general soldier? Is your head bigger than others, or is it more than others?

However, he was also glad that he had set up people around Liao Bingxun's mansion at the beginning, otherwise this grandson would hide in the barracks as soon as he came out, which would be really difficult to do, if he went to the barracks to forcibly arrest people, the matter would be even more troublesome.

Liao Bingxun originally meant this, and after leaving, he fled to the barracks, but as soon as he went out, he found that there were people from Jinyi on the left and right, if he had the slightest intention of fleeing to the barracks, he would be arrested immediately, and he had to pretend to be a good man to come here and surrender.

As for his son Liao Jingsheng, he deliberately let him go, otherwise the Liao family would not want to run out casually even if they were mice. Letting Liao Jingsheng enter the barracks is to lure out some silverfish in the army, and then see if there is a chance to get rid of them together.

Wang Chonggu didn't know the true intention of the incident, and he couldn't imagine that he had already set his eyes on the cancer that had grown on the border army, and it was urgent to ask Liao Bingxun's confession, and it was urgent to remove a cancer, the sooner the better.

Outside the post house, the commander was waiting anxiously, and the Chinese army of the governor Wang Chonggu came out and told him that the case had officially entered the three halls of trial, which meant that he could only wait for the result of the trial, and now that the gods came, it was useless, and the governor could not help.

The commander was shocked and said: "Lord Zhongjun, didn't you say that Jinyi Wei arrested people, how did you get it into three sessions?" ”

Zhongjun said with a smile: "This lord, first of all, General Liao was not arrested, but took the initiative to surrender, and the second Jinyi guard did not interfere in this matter. ”

"But this is not the Metropolitan Procuratorate, nor is it the Criminal Department, how can three sessions of interrogation be conducted?" The commander was not convinced.

"It is true that there is no criminal department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the officials of these three provincial temples are here, and they have the authorization of Lord Qincha, so they can conduct the three sessions of the trial, and if the adults are not convinced, they can appeal and plead."

The commander was furious in his heart: What are you arguing for, you have to play word games, where is Lao Tzu the opponent of you literati.

After the Chinese army finished the notice, they returned to the post house.

"My lord, what should I do?" Several thousands of households also panicked.

They originally thought that they had found the governor Wang Chonggu, and there was an official letter from the chief soldier, and the governor always wanted to give face, and he would ask people to come back and try it himself, so that they could also be regarded as a step down the Qincha, and they didn't want to start the highest-level three-hall trial here, and they wouldn't stop if they didn't get the result.

They don't know much about the legal status of the three-hall trial, but they also know that it is not idle, but the three-hall trial will only be initiated in such a big and important case as a rebellion. Could it be that Liao Bingxun was really involved in the important case of rebellion? What a deal?

"No, people must take it back, no matter what method is used."

The commander intuitively felt that if Liao Bingxun was allowed to confess truthfully in the lobby, many illegal things in the army would be exposed, in that case, even if the imperial court did not pursue it now, it would settle accounts after the autumn, and few of their generals could do well.

"But how to take it, there are three thousand brocade guards here, if we want to take people, even if we can't take it all." A thousand households said with a bitter face.

A commander commands only 6,000 people when he is full, and there is really no chance of winning against these 3,000 Jinyi guards, not to mention attacking the Jinyi guards by force, which is a blatant rebellion.

"Of course, it is not advisable to take it by force, let's contact other commanders and other brothers to bring men and horses here to intercede."

"Bringing people and horses to intercede, isn't that a disguised coercion and armed confrontation?" A thousand households feel inappropriate.

Although he has a good personal relationship with Liao Bingxun, he can't take his own life for him.
