Zhou Zhong suddenly wanted to let Yu Wenyuan and the others go out, leaving only Qu Lie to talk to him alone, which made everyone stunned, and couldn't figure out what Zhou Yu was doing? No, Zhou Chong's identity is respected here, so no one dares to ask, and he went out according to his words at the moment, so that only Zhou Chong and Qu Lie were left in the room, and Wu Shan wanted to protect Zhou Chong's safety, so he didn't leave.

After watching the others go out, I saw Zhou Chong staring at Qu Lie with blazing eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the last thing he stared at Qu Lie was also hairy in his heart, and he coughed dryly and asked with a strong smile: "Lord Admiral, I don't know what you have to discuss with your subordinates?" ”

"Qu Tongzhi should have put a lot of thought into today's scene, right?" Seeing Qu Lie take the initiative to speak, he saw Zhou Chong sneering and said, from the time he saw Qu Lie, he felt that something was wrong, and it wasn't until later when the deputy head of the thousand households surnamed Wu opened his mouth that he suddenly figured it out, I am afraid that he has fallen into this Qu Tongzhi's calculation.

Hearing Zhou Chong suddenly point out that he was acting, Qu Lie's whole body trembled suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal, and his bearded face showed a confused expression and said, "Play? What play? The Admiral's subordinates really don't understand! ”

Seeing that this rough-looking Qu Lie still refused to admit it, Zhou Zhong sneered again and said: "Qu Lie, this Admiral will give you another chance, and honestly explain all the grievances between you and Cheng Quan, as well as your plans, otherwise don't blame this official for being polite!" ”

Zhou Chong paused when he said this, and then added again: "Don't think that you are a smart person in this world, although you are very shrewd in your tricks, but there are many flaws." And I bet. When Master Yu and I entered the barracks. You must have received the news, and you also guessed the identity of this Admiral, so you gathered a few henchmen to play this scene in front of this Admiral, if you don't say it, then the official will go and ask that Wu Qianhu and others, even if they are righteous enough, but with these people's city government, do you think they can still play in front of this official? ”

Weigh every word of the above paragraph. It's like a cannonball bombarding Qu Lie's heart, which made his cold sweat come down for a while, although he believes in Wu Qianhu's brothers, but Zhou Chong's shrewdness is far beyond his expectations, if he really asks Zhou Chong to talk to Wu Qianhu and others, then I'm afraid it won't take a few words, Wu Qianhu and others will be exposed.

Thinking of this, Qu Lie's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his sturdy body trembled a little, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged Zhou Chong after the most stunning: "My lord, forgive me." The subordinates were confused for a while, so they made a move to deceive the Admiral. And this matter is all out of the plan of a subordinate, Wu Fang and the others are only threatened by their subordinates so they have to help me play this scene, and I hope that Lord Admiral will not blame them! ”

"Hmph, how to deal with the subordinates who made mistakes, that's the official's business, now you still honestly explain the facts, lest this admiral speculate wildly, and it will not be good to aggravate your crime at that time!" Zhou Chong snorted coldly and said, he had already inquired about some information about Dinghaiwei in advance, and he had also heard of this Qu Lie, originally he had a good impression of Qu Lie, but he didn't expect that as soon as he saw the other party, Qu Lie began to play tricks with him, if he didn't feel that something was wrong, I am afraid that Qu Lie would really be calculated.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Qu Lie no longer dared to hide it, and immediately told all the grievances between himself and Cheng Quan, as well as why he was acting in front of Zhou Chong this time.

It turned out that Qu Lie was indeed at odds with Cheng Quan, which was also consistent with Zhou Chong's previous investigation, after all, the people in their Shuangyu Port often dealt with the Houqianhu of Dinghaiwei, so Zhou Zhong could easily find out some of the internal situation in Dinghaiwei.

Cheng Quan is the commander of Dinghaiwei, Qu Lie is the commander of Wei, these two positions are hereditary, starting from their ancestors, the two families hold the military power of Dinghaiwei, and even the ancestors of the two of them are still a pair of brothers with different surnames who share life and death, and the two families are also considered world friends.

But since Qu Lie's father's generation, there have been problems in the relationship between the Cheng family and the Qu family, it is said that one of Qu Lie's aunts married into the Cheng family, but less than a year after the marriage, she died in vain, and at the time of the burial, Qu Lie's mother saw her sister-in-law full of scars, which made the Qu family very dissatisfied, and it happened that Qu Lie's father also loved this sister the most, so he always wanted to find an explanation from the Cheng family, but the Cheng family has been hiding and refusing to tell the truth, and as a result, the relationship between the two families became more and more stiff. Even after the most reluctance, it turned from a private fight to a battle in the guard.

In addition, there is another point, that is, the nearest Dinghai Houqianhu from Shuangyu Port, which originally belonged to the Qu family's potential range, but later with the interest of Shuangyu Port, the oil and water of the Houqianhu were more and more abundant, which also made the Cheng family very red-eyed.

It is also the above two things that made the Qu family and the Cheng family suddenly become enemies from the world, and the struggle between them has become more and more intense.

However, Qu Lie was not reconciled, he secretly wooed those officers in Dinghaiwei who were excluded by Cheng Quan, or who were unwilling, while looking for an opportunity to bring down Cheng Quan.

Although Qu Lie looks like a rude military man, he is actually as careful as a hair, and he is also clear about officialdom, when he learned that Zhou Zheng came to take over Dinghaiwei, he immediately realized that this was to seize power from the governor Xie Di, and it happened that Xie Di was the backer behind Cheng Quan, plus he heard some rumors, it seems that there are some contradictions between Xie Di and Zhou Chong, which makes him even more sure that Zhou Zhong wants to take over Dinghaiwei, Xie Di will definitely design some means through Cheng Quan.

As a result, things turned out to be as Qu Lie expected, Xie Di actually summoned Cheng Quan to Hangzhou in order to prevent Zhou Chong from taking over Dinghaiwei smoothly, so that Zhou Zhong could not find Cheng Quan, the commander of the guard, and naturally could not take over the army smoothly. However, this made Qu Lie see an opportunity to knock down Cheng Quan, so he had already started preparing a few days ago.

In fact, in all fairness, although the military discipline of Dinghaiwei has become much more relaxed like other guards, this is after all one of the few guards in the Ming Dynasty that can maintain a complete structure, and it is also responsible for the task of defending Ningbo, so no matter how lax the military discipline is, I am afraid that there will not be the scene that Zhou Chong saw before.

After Cheng Quan was summoned to Hangzhou by Xie Di, he handed over the power of Dinghaiwei and management to Wei Commander Servant, who was one level lower than Qu Lie's Commander Tongzhi, but he was Cheng Quan's confidant, so when Cheng Quan was not in Weizhong, this commander was always responsible for the management of Weizhong.

It's just that Cheng Quan's trust is not a person, but the commander of Dinghaiwei is a lazy person, and he doesn't care much about the management of the military camp, he doesn't care about anything except drinking and gambling every day, and as for the drills and everything, he depends on the consciousness of a few thousand households below. Of course, if it was just the laissez-faire of the commander, the sergeants of Dinghaiwei would not be so presumptuous, at least when Zhou Zhong came in, there would definitely be soldiers on duty who would come forward to investigate.

However, Qu Lie is a very scheming person, after he knew that Cheng Quan left Dinghaiwei, he immediately realized that he could use Zhou Zhong's strength to bring down Cheng Quan, thus disgrace the Xue family, so he had already started to arrange it a few days ago.

Although Qu Lie was overshadowed by Cheng Quan, it was not as he said before, after all, their Qu family held the position of commander and acquaintance in Dinghaiwei, and naturally had their own henchmen in Weizhong, such as Wu Qianhu and others, who drank with him before, were his most trusted brothers. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Wu Qianhu and others were not all deputy positions before, but after Cheng Quan squeezed out the Qu family, they all found a reason to squeeze them out of their main positions.

It was also through Wu Qianhu that Qu Lie secretly encouraged the soldiers in the barracks to drink and gamble, and even took out his own savings to provide for the expenses of the soldiers, of course, he did all this very secretly, and also gave a lot of money to several thousand households.

It was precisely these methods that Qu Lie secretly engaged, coupled with the command of the military camp and the indulgence of several thousand households, that further corrupted the military discipline in the Dinghaiwei military camp, and even developed to the point of openly gathering people to gamble and have fun in the military camp.

After messing up the barracks, Qu Lie has been waiting for Zhou Chong's arrival, and he also has his own eyes and ears in the barracks, when Yu Wenyuan and they brought Zhou Chong to the barracks, Qu Lie immediately received the news, although no one knows Zhou Chong, but who else can let the Ningbo prefect personally accompany him? So Qu Lie immediately gathered Wu Qianhu and the others together and pretended to be drunk.

Speaking of Qu Lie's plan is really good, and his grasp of people's hearts is also extremely accurate, he sees that Zhou Chong's young man's ambition will definitely not give in to Xie Di easily, and Cheng Quan is Xie Di's accomplice, so Zhou Zhong must also have a grudge against Cheng Quan, if Zhou Chong sees that Cheng Quan's Dinghai Guard discipline is so lax, it is very likely that Cheng Quan will be removed directly, or even ask for guilt, and then he, the commander who is not in harmony with Cheng Quan, will naturally be the best candidate to take over the position of commander.
