Zhang Yu took out a yellowed note from his arms and raised it with both hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Excellency, please take a look." As he spoke, a servant took the document and handed it over. Yang Rui took a closer look and saw that there were no loopholes, so he said to the people who were watching the excitement: "Neighbors, this official only looks at whether the case is reasonable or unreasonable, not whether there is money or not, here is a debt document from three years ago, the official has read it, as Zhang Yu said, you can pass it on, if any of you have studied, you can read it for everyone." After speaking, let the clerk just now hand over the document to the people.

There happened to be an old Xiucai among the people watching the excitement, which Yang Rui deliberately invited to observe.

Lao Xiucai read the document and said in surprise: "Zhang Yu really said yes." ”

"Zhang Sixi looks honest, he can't see that he still has this ability, and he dares to forcibly occupy the concubine outside the chapter member." One of the people's eyes widened and said in disbelief.

Zhang Sixi was anxious, blushing and shouting, "No." Don't believe it. ”

"Bang" was shocked, Yang Ruiji pointed at Zhang Sixi and asked: "Zhang Sixi, since you said that this document is fake, then the official will pass Yang Caixiang to the court, if she admits to this matter, what will you do?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhang Sixi hesitated, he didn't know if Yang Caixiang still had feelings for him now.

Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Zhang Yu was proud, he knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "My lord, the villain is unwilling to carry a bad reputation for dominating people's women, the villain asks Yang Caixiang to come to the court for questioning." ”

"Okay." Yang Rui shouted, and then said, "Pass Yang Caixiang to the court for questioning." ”

After a while, a small sedan chair carried by two people came in, and a young woman walked up with a lotus step.

"Little woman Yang Caixiang has seen the old man." Yang Caixiang lowered her head and said in a coquettish voice.

Listening to this soft voice, Yang Rui felt itchy for a while, and the lustful problem was committed again, and he shouted: "Yang Caixiang, raise your head." ”

"Yes. My lord," Yang Caixiang said in a coquettish voice, and raised her head shyly. Melon seed face, peach blossom eyes, face protein tender and delicate, slender figure,

"This woman really has some beauty, no wonder the two men want to fight." Yang Rui said secretly.

glanced at her greedily a few times, and then Yang Rui asked: "Yang Caixiang, Zhang Sixi said, you are his wife, and you were occupied by Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu said that you went to his house to be a concubine with a debt, and you were forcibly occupied by him as a wife when you went to Zhang Sixi to make clothes, and then you ran back by yourself." They have their own words, and they have sent you to inquire about the situation. ”

Yang Caixiang didn't want to live a poor life with Zhang Sixi, and Zhang Sixi didn't understand the amorous style, and she didn't like her. After listening to the words of the magistrate, he looked at Zhang Sixi, who was stunned, and then at Zhang Yu, who was squeezing his eyebrows at her, and said loudly: "Lord Yuxian Ling, what Zhang Yu said is true. ”

Afraid of what, "Huh? ......", Zhang Sixi collapsed on the ground in the public hall at once.

Glancing at Zhang Sixi coldly, Yang Rui said: "This case has been tried by this official, and the facts are clear, Yang Caixiang was sentenced to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Sixi was bad-hearted and hit the 20th board." After speaking, he took out a fire stick and threw it on the ground.

Several officials dragged the collapsed Zhang Sixi to the middle of the lobby, picked up the water and fire sticks and beat him "pop", making him scream.

After the fight, one of the officials bowed down and said, "My lord, the execution of the lowly rank has been completed." ”

"Fork out of the court, exit the court." After speaking, he didn't look at the others, paced, and swayed back to the back hall.

Lu Xiangsheng left Nanyang and returned to Jingshi, and he wanted to tell Chongzhen his views on the encirclement and suppression of Liukou.

He wrote two memos, the first of which was called "The First Priority for Suppressing Criminals", in which he gave the most simple and direct explanation of the fact that the rebels were exterminating more and more: "The people are thieves, and most of them start from hunger and cold; Soldiers and thieves are mostly due to lack of salary. It means that the rebellion of the army and the people is because they really can't survive, and the root of the suppression of bandits is to let the people have a way to live.

Another of his memorals is called "Eight Rules of Jingkou Suimin", which reads: "...... It is advisable to delay the expropriation to prolong the lives of the people, to repair the abolition of the campaign diligently to lay the people's houses, to help the poor with the benefits of the mountains, to reduce the harm of the people, to prohibit the detention of the people, to support the people, to support the people, to compensate the suffering of the households, and to return the hardships to the people of Su Province. ”

However, Chongzhen sent someone to pick up his recitals, and after seeing it, he was very unhappy, and did not meet him, but asked him to hurry to take up his post under the pretext of Xuanda's military emergency.

There was no way, he had to obey the order and leave to take office.

After leaving the Beijing Division, he glanced back at the tall city wall in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said to Yang Tinglin: "It seems that Your Majesty has an opinion on whether I did not bring troops to the Beijing Division. ”

"My lord, don't think about it, sooner or later Your Majesty will know your troubles." Yang Tinglin comforted.

Sighing, Lu Xiangsheng said with a gloomy expression: "I hope so." ”

Seeing that his mood was not high and he was depressed, Yang Tinglin said, "My lord, do you know? The Ji'an Volunteer Brigade has been given the name of the Ming Loyal Brigade by His Majesty. ”

"I've read it in the Di newspaper, Zhao Guohua, this kid, is playing well." Lu Xiangsheng said lightly.

He believed that the Ji'an Volunteers only assisted the defenders of Zhuozhou to defend the city, and it was nothing remarkable.

"They didn't just play well, but they played so beautifully, and their results were amazing." Yang Tinglin said excitedly, his face full of admiration and excitement.

Looking at him, Lu Xiangsheng said, "Tell me what's amazing?" ”

Yang Tinglin said it.

When he heard that the Zhiji'an Volunteers had wiped out nearly 10,000 Tartar troops, captured nearly 6,000 war horses, and rescued more than 40,000 plundered people from the Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned after hearing these achievements.

He never imagined that the results of the Ji'an Volunteers would be so huge and the results would be so amazing.

"Who are you listening to? Isn't that an exaggeration? Lu Xiangsheng asked suspiciously.

The reason why he was suspicious was because these results were too difficult to obtain, and according to the combat strength of the Ming Border Army, if he wanted to obtain so many results, he would need at least more than 40,000 cavalry.

Yang Tinglin told him that these things were told by Wu Fu, a scholar of Dongge University. Yesterday, Wu Fu came to visit Lu Xiangsheng, and it happened that Lu Xiangsheng entered the palace to hand over the fold.

Wu Fu was the messenger who went to Zhuozhou to investigate, and he personally inspected it, and he was the messenger who passed on the holy decree. ”

I heard that it was Wu Fu who said it, and Lu Xiangsheng believed it, because of Wu Fu's character, he could trust it. But he was a little curious in his heart, he knew that with the five or six thousand people of the Volunteer Brigade, in order to achieve such a great result, it was necessary not only to have superb strategy, but also to have strong combat power.

"Could it be that I underestimated Zhao Guohua and his volunteer brigade?" He asked to himself. While thinking, he led more than 10,000 Tianxiong troops to Xuanda, and the army was like a long snake quickly heading towards the north.

After stopping outside the city of Texas, the Loyal Brigade began to set up camp

Zhao Guohua taught the team members to set up camp with wooden stakes and improvised barbed wire, and they buried one-man high wooden stakes in the ground, surrounded the camp, and the wooden stakes were wrapped around three simple barbed wire, and sentry posts and patrols were sent outside, so that it became a temporary camp, and no one was allowed to approach the barbed wire.

Set up camp and set up a good village, the people of Texas have already pulled vegetables, meat, eggs and other things, ready to trade.

In order not to affect the barracks, it was stipulated that the sale of things could only be traded at a distance of forty paces from the camp, and the loyal and brave members would pick them up and return to the barracks after the transaction.

"General, it's not a war now, why don't you ask these people to pick things directly into the barracks?" Lu Qing asked, pointing to the people who came to sell things.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "Staff Officer Lu, the barracks are a place with rules, and people must not be allowed to enter and leave at will, including soldiers, only in this way can the army have military prestige and soldiers will abide by military discipline." You are a scholar, you know, the fine willow camp of Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty, even the emperor at that time, Emperor Han Jingdi, was not allowed to enter casually. ”

"What the general said is that Lu has been taught." Lu Qing said, raising his hand in admiration and giving a military salute.

Today is the third day, standing on the city wall, looking at the neat military camp in the distance, and the people who are blocked from trading far away from the military camp, Qi Xinren, the commander of the Dezhou Guard, praised: "It is worthy of the team of the Tartars in Zhuozhou, and there are really some doorways." After speaking, he said to the prefect Hua Runze: "Huada, people have beaten Tartars, passed by our Texas, and now they have stayed outside the city for two or three days, let's go to visit and contact our feelings." ”

In the past two days, he and the prefect Hua Runze have come to the city wall every day to watch the people and the loyal and brave corps trading vegetables and grains.

The prefect Hua Runze listened to his words, and his face was expressionless.

He thinks that this surnamed Zhao is a five-rank military attaché, and he is a civil official from the fourth grade, and his official position is one level higher than him, plus he is a noble and lowly martial artist, so it stands to reason that he should come to see him, and now he is a little cheaper to visit him

Master Pei Sangui is very shrewd, and when he looks at Hua Renze's appearance, he understands his thoughts.

So he smiled, bowed down and said: "My lord, what General Qi said makes sense, the surname Zhao has such a strong army in hand, in this era, it is difficult to guarantee that it will soar in the future, and now take the initiative to make friends and make friends, it is always a good thing to have no disadvantages." Besides, it turned out to be a militia group, so it's not surprising that I don't know the etiquette of officialdom. ”

After listening to Bei Sangui's words, Hua Runze thought about it and made sense, so he smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, let's go and see this loyal and brave corps transformed from the militia group, and by the way, see their demeanor." ”

When the group walked to the gate of the barracks twenty paces away, they saw four soldiers standing at the gate of the barracks, wearing black and blue military uniforms, black cloth shoes, strange black helmets, belts around their waists, waist knives, spears in their hands, their chests held high, and their eyes did not squint. Standing like a javelin, the camp was neatly lit with tents, and occasionally people moved between the passages.

"Not bad! It's kind of interesting! Qi Xinren said with a smile.
