Chapter 166: Recruiting Soldiers
Fuzhi Yamen became a flat land, Fan Dajian used a wooden stick to draw a string of huge exorcism charms on it, after several days of wind and sun, only a faint trace remained, but still no one dared to destroy it.
The smoke was thick around the flat ground, and many people bowed down reverently, including officers and soldiers stationed in the city, as well as ordinary people who rushed from outside the city to hear the news.
When Fan Dajian rode by, many people recognized him, turned around and kowtowed, and called him "real person", the old way all laughed, and after walking a little farther, he put away his smile and said to Hu Guiyang: "I thought they worshiped Fan Zhenren, but now it seems that they worship Danxue even more!" ”
Yuan Mao was also a little worried, "Do you want to ask the Wu Governor to send troops to disperse these people?" If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that we are helping He Million again. ”
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Forget it, let it be." ”
Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian glanced at each other and didn't speak again.
The three of them went out early in the morning and went to the prefect's yamen to ask for soldiers.
The prefect Wu Yuan met the three of them in the study, and after greetings, he sent the official document that had been prepared to Hu Guiyang, "Just take this and go to the garrison." ”
Hu Guiyang thanked him, chatted a few words and planned to leave, but Wu Yuan did not mean to send off the guests for a long time, Yuan Mao was interested, and motioned for Fan Dajian to retire together.
As soon as the outsiders left, Wu Yuan immediately said: "The top business of Dongchang and Nansi are still in my yamen, what are the plans of Captain Hu?" ”
For Yunyang Mansion, Dongchang and Nansi are a big trouble, they are considered prisoners, they are not qualified to interrogate, they are considered tolerances, and they don't know how to cooperate, so they can only try to push others on.
Hu Guiyang laughed, "I intend to ask the adults to reward me and let me take these people away." ”
Wu Yuan couldn't ask for it, and waved his hand: "Take it away, take it away, originally, this is the matter of Jinyiwei, Captain Hu is familiar with them, everything is easy to say, this official only serves as a herdsman, and will never interfere in the affairs of the factory and guard." ”
After leaving the study, Hu Guiyang said the prefect's request, and Yuan Mao immediately complained: "Oh, you shouldn't agree, Nansi and Dongchang made a big mistake this time, even if they can't win it in one fell swoop, they should interrogate with the local prefect and the garrison, record everything, and have evidence after returning to Beijing." If you release them today, it won't take a few days for this matter to become a headless case, and no one will admit that they have been derelict in their duties and made mistakes. ”
"Hehe, let it be."
Hu Guiyang said this word for the second time, and Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian could only shake their heads helplessly.
Hu Guiyang went to release his boss first, and the officer guarding the room had obviously been instructed to open the door as soon as he saw Hu Guiyang.
Liang Xiu's mood was much more stable, sitting on the stool in a daze, and he didn't open his mouth when he saw someone coming in.
Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Zhenfu, have you rested?" ”
Liang Xiu was no longer the crying loser of the previous two days, glanced at it, and said lightly: "If you want to condemn me, you have to be more capable." Hu Guiyang, even if I lose my position this time, it will not be your turn to take the position. ”
"There is a hundred and eight thousand miles between the lieutenant and the pacification, how dare I have such a wishful idea? I just want to be able to change to a new adult who is competent. ”
Liang Xiu took the case, "As long as the East Factory does not fall, I ......"
Hu Guiyang tilted his head in the next room, "I'm afraid that Dongchang won't say good things for you." ”
Liang Xiu sat down slowly and said in a low voice: "As long as I go back to Beijing, I have my own way." ”
"Back to Beijing? Who said you could go back to Beijing? If you commit such a big thing, you have to give an explanation. ”
Liang Xiu's face was like ashes, "You, what do you want?" ”
"I want to cut through the mess quickly and never suffer from it."
Liang Xiu climbed directly from the stool to the ground, and hurriedly got up, "I am an official of the imperial court, Nansi Zhenfu, no one dares to kill me in Yunyang Mansion......"
That being said, Liang Xiu was a little unsure about this eccentric subordinate.
"Indeed, no one in Yunyang Mansion dares to touch Nansi to pacify him, except for ...... Forget it, let's go. ”
Liang Xiu was stunned, "What did you say?" ”
"Lord Calmer can go." Hu Guiyang turned to the errand outside and asked loudly, "You can indeed go, right?" ”
The messenger didn't show up, but replied, "Yes, yes." ”
Liang Xiu walked slowly towards the door, looking at Hu Guiyang and the other three suspiciously, until he successfully crossed the threshold, he was a little relieved, "Those subordinates of mine ......"
"Go get someone, they'll open the door for you." The officer replied carefully.
Liang Xiu was still hesitant, stood for a while, just about to leave, then stopped, turned his head and asked, "What did you mean by 'except' just now?" Who in Yunyang Mansion dares to kill the officials of the imperial court. ”
"The 'immortals' who eat other people's short mouths, take other people's short hands, and create Dan acupoints with one hand, must think that you owe him favors."
Liang Xiu's face turned pale and he hurriedly ran away.
Yuan Mao said blankly: "Hu Guiyang, what are you crazy about?" Either close people to collect evidence, or obediently release people, why do you have to do this kind of unflattering thing that offends people? ”
"Mouth fast for a while." Hu Guiyang smiled and walked out of the house and asked the errand outside to open the door next door.
Dongchang Baihu Zuo has always been very calm, and now it is as stable as Mount Tai, as soon as he saw the door opened, he didn't even say hello, and went out directly.
Hu Guiyang got out of the way and did not stop it.
Even Fan Dajian couldn't stand it anymore, "Hu Guiyang, you ...... That's not right, Liang Zhenfu is the boss, you speak ill of each other, Zuo Yu has no friendship with you, you don't say a word, what's going on? ”
"The adults need a little encouragement, but the left hundred households don't need it."
"What to motivate?"
"Arrest people, I just want them to have a competitive heart and arrest He Million first."
Fan Dajian blinked, feeling that Hu Guiyang's approach seemed reasonable and seemed to be unreasonable, and asked Yuan Mao in a low voice, "Does it have to be like this?" ”
Yuan Mao didn't squeak, he understood Hu Guiyang's intentions, but he didn't agree, such an "incentive" is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, even if it is useful now, it will be a big trouble in the future.
Hu Guiyang didn't pay attention to it at all, went out again, went to see Qian Gong, and didn't say much when he entered the door, and said directly: "Follow me." ”
"Huh?" Qian Gong didn't dare to ask more, and immediately followed with his only entourage.
Dongchang and Nansi had already come out, all at a loss, Hu Guiyang smiled and bowed his hand to them, and said loudly: "I'll go first, you guys try to catch up." ”
There was an official document issued by the prefect, and it was easy to transfer troops in the Yamen of the Xingdu Division, but the garrison Zang Lian did not show up, and sent someone to send 100 soldiers to the Jinyi Lieutenant for deployment.
Yunyang Mansion was not long established, and there were often riots within its jurisdiction, so most of the soldiers stationed there were young and strong, and they seemed to be more usable than many soldiers in the Beijing camp.
Hu Guiyang could not lead the troops, assigned Yuan Mao to lead the team, and the first order he issued was to find a place to eat.
Of course, the soldiers were happy and cheered in unison, and Fan Dajian stepped forward and said, "Aren't we going to arrest people?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll talk about it when I'm full of food and drink."
Fan Dajian shook his head, "I really don't understand what you're thinking." ”
There are no larger hotels in Yunyang Prefecture, and more than 100 diners have nowhere to go, so they can only find the cooks in the camp to supply wine and meat.
The meal was eaten from noon to evening, the wine was not mellow, and the meat was not exquisite, but everyone was happy and willing to fight, but unfortunately there was no enemy to be found for a while.
Seeing that it was almost over, Hu Guiyang and the others rode horses, and the soldiers walked, and went to the City God Temple located in the west of the city.
There is a city god temple in the city, this temple in the Meteoric Yang Mansion has just been completed, earlier than the completion of the city wall, the temple is fully staffed, and it is the largest temple in the local area for the time being.
Yuan Mao is not good at commanding troops, but fortunately, there are still a few general banners and small banners who are willing to help, as long as they understand the general meaning, they can arrange troops for him.
A hundred people quickly surrounded the City God Temple, although they had all drunk a lot of wine, once they received the order, there was no noise.
A small number of soldiers held swords and guns, and surrounded Captain Hu and Fan Zhenren and went straight to the main hall.
Miaozhu had been waiting for a long time, out of the hall to greet him, first ran to Fan Dajian, and when he saw the many soldiers outside, he couldn't help but be stunned, "The real person is here, such a big formation." ”
"Thieves may be stubborn and have to be guarded against."
Fan Dajian had previously collected the list of hosts of each temple and found no problems, so he asked several temple wishes and abbots who were eager to please him to secretly investigate to see which one still had unnamed guests.
He really found it. There are not many palaces and temples in Yunyang Mansion, the most prosperous incense is the City God Temple, and the temple Zhu also accidentally found that there were two foreign Taoist priests who did not know him living in the backyard, he guessed that this was a guest received by other people in the temple privately, and he did not make a noise, directly notified Fan Zhenren, and waited for a day to see people coming.
Hu Guiyang called in some soldiers again, gathered 30 people, and went to the backyard together, reminding them: "The thieves are likely to be strong in martial arts, so don't rush in, just surround them." ”
Keeping in charge of wine and meat, and not allowing adventures, the soldiers liked this brocade lieutenant so much that they all made a gesture of enthusiasm, and once they entered the backyard, they all slowed down, maintained their formation, and gradually approached the room of the two guests.
Fan Dajian received the signal, took a few steps forward, and said in a loud voice: "He million, the old man came to visit, please go out and see him." ”
He asked the two guests in detail about their appearances, and felt that one of them looked very much like He Million.
After waiting for a while, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged Taoist priest walked out, glanced at it, and didn't show fear, "There are no millions here, and I haven't seen the old people, you have found the wrong person." ”
Fan Dajian turned his head to look, Hu Guiyang shook his head, this Taoist priest is very unfamiliar, he doesn't know either, it is definitely not He Million.
"What about the other one? Come out and let's see. Fan Dajian took a step back and approached the soldiers.
The Taoist priest glanced at it again, "Who is the leader?" ”
Hu Guiyang stepped forward, "I am." ”
"Which yamen are you from?" The Taoist priest was still not afraid, and his tone was even more rude.
Hu Guiyang arched his hand and said: "Captain of Jinyi Weinan Division, seconded to the West Factory." ”
"Oh." Ordinary people changed their demeanor when they heard about Jinyiwei, but the Taoist priest was very calm, turned his head slightly, listened to what the people in the room said, and continued to sweep his eyes, "Who is Qian Gong, stand up." ”
Qian Gong never expected his name to be called, so he was taken aback, looked at Hu Guiyang, and said hurriedly: "I really don't know this person." ”
"He doesn't know you either, but he knows your name, so he must have an acquaintance of yours in the house."
"I've met He Million a few times......"
Hu Guiyang pushed Qian Gong forward, "You go and take a look." ”
Qian Gong didn't dare to disobey the order, and walked over slowly, "I'm Qian Gong." ”
The Taoist priest nodded and stepped aside, "Please come in." ”
Qian Gong was taken aback again, turned his head to ask for his life, and saw Hu Guiyang nodding, so he had to rub into the house step by step.
Hu Guiyang sighed lightly and said to Yuan Mao: "This is also a big fish, but unfortunately it is not the big fish we want." ”
Yuan Mao guessed a few points, but still couldn't believe it, "The people inside can't be ...... Less than Adult, right? ”
