Chapter 448: Three Fires

For the next ten days, Xue Shao basically "did nothing" in Qianqi. Except for a group of craftsmen who came to build a training base and various houses to make a cloud of smoke and dust, the thousand riders felt that their lives had not changed in the past.

At first, the Qianqi were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they had a wait-and-see attitude towards Xue Shao, the new official who took office. But after watching for three or five days, they found that Xue Shao really didn't care about things at all, and even more lax than the previous Zhonglang General's management.

So the thousand horsemen gradually relaxed their vigilance, and soon expressed some of their habits on weekdays.

Except for the occasional ceremonial occasion that the queen of heaven needs, the thousand horsemen have nothing to do most of the time. There are always few people on the training ground, and the firehead army is busy all day long. Because the biggest hobby of these soldiers is to eat, drink and have fun, the Huotou Army is almost on standby for twelve hours, ready to cook food and warm wine for the soldiers.

Sometimes some people secretly go to the royal forbidden garden north of Xuanwu Gate to hunt, goats and hares are packed back in sacks and then thrown to the firehead army to be responsible for cooking, and then there must be a group of people who are drunk, and the daily training and patrols will definitely not participate, and some people even dare to evade the task of traveling, hiding in the barracks and sleeping - and sleeping with the big girl in their arms!

Thousands of riders are not short of money, and if there is money, there will naturally be girls. Prostitutes are not a big deal, but if a woman is brought into the barracks, and it is from the army of the palace north, it is really a bit too much.

But this matter seems to be accustomed to the people of Qianqi, and it is almost in a semi-public state. The people of the thousand horsemen have the ability and the way, and the relationship with the Yulin Army defending the city is very good. Even if the thousands of horsemen brought back a woman from Pingkangfang in the middle of the night, the Yulin Army would quietly open the city gate for them.

In a military aircraft center like Xuanwu Gate, the gate can be opened at will in the middle of the night, which is undoubtedly a very strict event. Compared to this, things such as running rampant, fighting, and bullying the people seem insignificant.

The people of Chang'an have long complained about the individual people of Qianqi, and there are not a few who report to the officials. However, the county government of Chang'an obviously couldn't twist his arms in the face of these old soldiers, and in consideration of the royal reputation, most of the cases were suppressed. In the Wannian County Yali and Yongan County Yali, which are in charge of Chang'an City, the files accumulated by the Qianqi criminal case are more than three feet thick, and none of them have been detected or implemented.

Xue Shao had a clear grasp of these situations, but he still kept them hidden. The people of the thousand horsemen only thought that Xue Shao didn't know and didn't care about things, and they still had a chic and happy time.

Ten days passed quickly.

In the early morning of this day, the horns sounded in the camp of the thousand horsemen as usual, but the speed of the group's assembly was very lazy and slow, and many soldiers were disheveled and yawned. Some didn't even bother to put on the saddle, just led a naked horse to line up, just wanting to finish the transition and go back to sleep.

But soon, the Thousand Riders discovered that today was different from usual. Usually, Guo Yuanzhen stands on the podium, and he casually says a few words about the day's affairs and it's over. But today, Xue Shao took Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen to stand on the stage together, with a pair of couches next to them, and Changshi Xiao Zhizhong stood on the case. The four lieutenants and the rest of the officers stood behind Xue Shao, and eight red-clothed executioners carried execution knives in all directions. Under the stage, sixteen snare drums are neatly arranged, and flags are lined up to hunt and roll, just like a field army's battlefield soldier preparation posture!

Seeing this battle, the clever people all woke up, and immediately sped up their pace to tidy up their clothes, not daring to make another move. But there are also some old oilmen who don't take this seriously, and still slowly swallow and lazy.

For the first time, Xue Shao put on his Mingguang battle armor and appeared in the Thousand Cavalry Camp, changing his previous gentleness and elegance, and his expression was stern to cold, as if he was about to lead the people of the Three Swords Brigade to attack the Black Sand that day.

Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu thought in unison, okay, that devil brigade commander of the Three Swords Brigade is back!

After the team was assembled, each team began to count the number of people. At first, there were still people who lied, and Xue Shao asked Lu Siyi to personally take people down to review, but it turned out that the three people did not come to gather.

"Get someone for me." Xue Shao was not in a hurry to get angry, and ordered lightly.

Lu Siyi immediately led someone to find it, because he had already figured out the number of thousands of riders, and he was soon captured. The three bare-tied drunks, along with the three disheveled women, were carried to the front of the point.

The thousand horsemen began to talk quietly.

"Isn't Xue Shao indifferent, what kind of crazy thing did he suddenly have today?"

"I have long said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and he has been holding back!"

"This man is yin enough!"

"So what? It's not just a show--could it be that they still dare to treat Boss Cui? ”

"That's right! - If he dares to mess around, our brothers will fight with him! ”

……

"Silence!!"

Xue Shao suddenly shouted angrily, so frightened that the people around him almost jumped up. The thousand horsemen were also taken aback and fell silent.

Under the stage, the three drunks of the light gang were still in a daze, one was too drunk and sat on the ground, and the other two were huddled together and stood crookedly, looking at Xue Shao with a smirk. The three prostitutes were a little afraid of this battle, and they didn't dare to raise their heads when they were huddled together.

Xue Shao glanced at the three big men of the Light Gang who were standing, and Xiao Zhizhong immediately handed over a scroll with all their information written on it.

The sitting big man was named Cui Qingfeng, in his thirties, and joined the army at the beginning of the formation of the Thousand Cavalry. Although he is only a fire chief who doesn't even have a rank today, because he is the oldest and older and is from the Qinghe Cui family, he has a high prestige among the thousand horses. Although he is a broken family that has fallen to the army, he still has some interpersonal relationships, Zuo Fengchenwei's Qianniu Bei Cui Hejian is his cousin, and the two often correspond; Cui Zhiwen, the third rank under the same book, is his uncle.

One of the two big men standing was Zhao Yijie, who was born in a military family. His grandfather and father were both generals of the Tang Dynasty and died on the battlefield. The emperor hand-picked him to recruit him into the Thousand Horsemen, which was regarded as taking care of the orphans of the martyrs. The other person is named Chen Sandou, who is Wu Yougui's brother-in-law. Originally, he was just a peddler who did a small business, but because Wu You entrusted the blessing of the Queen of Heaven to soar overnight and became a Qianqi Zuolang general, he also followed the light to Qianqi to mix a bowl of rice to eat. Now that Wu Yougui has just been squeezed away from Qianqi by Xue Shao and others, Chen Sandou is naturally holding back the fire in his heart, and often insults Xue Shao behind his back.

All the circumstances were as Xue Shao requested, and the investigation was not bad at all.

Xue Shao glanced at these three people coldly, knowing that they were several leaders among the thousand knights. For Xue Shao, these airborne officials, how old the soldiers of the thousand cavalry are are Yang Fengyin and Yin are not really serious; For these soldiers, they are really the only ones who look ahead.

There is no doubt that these three people are not only soft persimmons, but also typical hard stubble. Looking at their current expressions of fearlessness, you can know that they didn't take Xue Shao, who was "inactive", in their eyes at all.

"Why don't you three come and meet?" Xue Shao asked calmly.

"Uh-" Cui Qingfeng struggled to get up from the ground, first burped a stinking wine, and then said with a smile: "General Xue, we drank too much and slept over." ”

Xue Shao remained silent, raised his finger and pointed at the three prostitutes, "Who is that?" ”

"Of course it's our friend!" Zhao Yijie shouted in a hurry, shouting very loudly and justifiably.

Chen Sandou glanced at Xue Shao with hostility, blatant disdain and arrogance.

"Oh, that's it." Xue Shao was silent, and said lightly, "Xiao Changshi, read out the military regulations." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhizhong stood up and began to read out loud the military regulations of the Thousand Cavalry. The thousands of horsemen in the team faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Xue Shao is coming today?"

"You can't make such a fuss, do you?"

"Forgive him for not having the guts! Our Boss Cui is the patriarch of a thousand horses, how can he move it? Zhao Yijie is a person of His Majesty, and Chen Sandou is also a member of the martial family! ”

"Look at it, look at it......"

The three drunks stood shaking their heads, impatient. Before Xiao Zhizhong's military regulations were finished, Cui Qingfeng shouted, "I want to pee!" ”

"General Xue, why don't you help us untie it first, it's too tightly tied!" Zhao Yijie shouted, "We didn't come to gather, we were wrong, we won't next time." ”

Chen Sandou snorted coldly: "Pretend to read what military regulations, just disperse if it's okay, we still have to sleep!" ”

Xue Shao ignored it completely, and the others at most just glanced at them coldly and ignored them as well.

Xiao Zhizhong finished reading the military regulations and retreated.

Xue Shao stepped forward and said loudly, "I believe you all heard it clearly just now." Datang's military regulations, presumably you are all familiar with them. A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. Qianqi is the pro-meritorious army of His Majesty, the royal rate, and the most noble army in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the soldiers of the Thousand Cavalry should be more obedient to military regulations and obey orders than ordinary guards. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that Qianqi is an elite division with strict discipline, rigorous style, and outstanding combat power! ”

The newly appointed Qianqi Zhonglang finally spoke, and the audience was quiet.

The three drunks seemed to be more than half awake from their wine, and looked at Xue Shao fixedly, full of suspicion and hostility.

Xue Shao also looked at them, "Xiao Changshi, you are in charge of military regulations. Sue me, what are the crimes committed by these three people in front of you? ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhizhong stood up again, and according to the military regulations, he listed more than a dozen charges for Cui Qingfeng and the other three. Minor crimes include untidy military appearance, contempt for officials, drunkenness in the army, and evasion of drills, while major crimes include desertion from the army, entering the camp with prostitutes, crossing the palace at night, and trespassing into the forbidden house.

Every time Xiao Zhizhong said a word, Cui Qingfeng and the others woke up a little bit of wine, and there was a commotion and uproar in the team. Many Qianqi's hearts began to be both frightened and frightened - bad, bad, the first fire of this new official in office was to kill chickens and monkeys!
