Qin Chuan was still staring at the gate of the Governor's Palace, but his tone was a little soft. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What did Li Zhongtang say?"

Zhang Shiheng said with a bitter face: "First listened to your staff officer report on the matter, but Zhongtang scolded Lu Daosheng a few words in front of all of us, and then asked Desan to play and suppress. It wasn't until Lu Daosheng came to the governor's mansion to cry for a while, and Zhongtang never spoke again, just listened to everyone's discussions. ”

"Discussion?"

"What are you talking about?"

Qin Chuan wanted to know Li Hongzhang's attitude the most, but since Li Hongzhang didn't say anything, he was already extremely dissatisfied with himself, but because of the reason, and even worried about the face of Zhou Fu, his top boss, he didn't say anything. As for how to deal with this matter in the end, I'm afraid I just want to see what everyone thinks, and when the time comes, I can push the boat along the river and avoid some trouble. Therefore, these discussions are very important to Qin Chuan.

"What else can you talk about?"

Zhang Shiheng glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "Naturally, most of those generals are excited, clamoring for the middle hall to deal with you strictly. ”

"Treat me strictly!"

The anger in Qin Chuan's heart, which had just weakened, suddenly rose again, and he sneered: "What did someone Qin do wrong?" Which royal law did you violate? Let these crowds cry out! I'd love to know which people hated me Qin so much. ”

Zhang Shiheng pursed his lips and said with some disdain: "Who else can there be, it's not those Qiu Eight Masters of the Old Huai Army." ”

"Those who advocate severely punishing you are those old men of the Huaijun led by Wei Rugui, Sun Xianyin, Jiang Guidi, Huang Shilin, Liu Shengxiu, Zhao Huaiye, and Cheng Yunhe. There are also some people in the Beiyang Fleet, such as Fang Boqian and others, who are almost one-sided and scolded you. Because it's a matter of military affairs, it's hard for others to interject. ”

The old man of Huaijun naturally sympathized with Lu Benyuan, and it was natural for them to stand on Lu Benyuan's side. Qin Chuan had nothing to say to these people. It's just that he still asked Zhang Shiheng a little unwillingly.

"Isn't there anyone who says justice?"

Zhang Shiheng sighed and said: "It's not nothing, Jia Qisheng, Xu Bangdao, and Li He all defended you." It's just a few of them, except for Xu Bangdao, who has the rank of chief soldier, Jia Qisheng and Li He are soft-spoken, and their words don't have much effect. However, when Jia Qisheng and Xu Bangdao were arguing with others, Ye Da Nerd played a few rounds, and faintly said some good things for you, which made Zhongtang unable to make up his mind. By the way, there are also Song Qing, Ma Yukun, and Song Desheng, who are in the Yi army, and they have not spoken out. ”

The big idiot Ye in Zhang Shiheng's mouth is talking about Ye Zhichao.

Jia Qisheng, Li and these two people argued for themselves, which was expected, but Xu Bangdao and Ye Zhichao were willing to offend these Li Hongzhang's old subordinates and were willing to speak for themselves, which was a big surprise to Qin Chuan.

According to Qin Chuan's understanding, Xu Bangdao, a veteran, although he was not an old man of the Huai Army who fought with Li Hongzhang at the beginning, but he also entered the Huai Army sequence when he was flattened, and he had been in the Huai Army for almost 20 years.

As for Ye Zhichao, Qin Chuan has never had any good impression of this person, which is mainly due to the evaluation of Ye Zhichao in the mainstream historical materials before the crossing.

Mainstream historical sources describe Ye Zhichao's "exploits" in the Battle of Pyongyang as follows: "After Zuo's sacrifice, Ye Zhichao abandoned the city and fled, ran 500 miles, and retreated to China. ”

This Ye Zhichao has been very miserable since the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Qing court ordered Ye Zhichao to be taken from his position, and Li Hongzhang asked him to stay in the camp to serve, but he was not allowed. He was sent to the Beijing Division, interrogated by the Criminal Department, and sentenced to be imprisoned. Gengzi was released in the year and died the following year.

This Ye Zhichao can have such an attitude at this time, which can't help but make Qin Chuan have a good impression of him.

Whether it is Jia Qisheng, Li He or these two people, Ye Zhichao and Xu Bangdao, who greatly surprised him, these people's attitude towards him Qin Chuan is not what Qin Chuan values the most, Qin Chuan just has a stronger impression of these people in his heart. What Qin Chuan values most is the attitude of his immediate boss Zhou Fu.

"What did Lord Zhou say?"

Zhang Shiheng sighed and said: "Ming Hong, it's fine if this matter is put on someone else, but you, the leader of the salt group, are under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhou's envoy Yamen, and it is related to those Qiu Ba in Beiyang, how can Lord Zhou say things for you." Lord Zhou could only remain silent to avoid some suspicions. Even Sheng Xingsun is in the same situation. ”

"However, it is precisely because Lord Zhou is silent that those Qiu Ba are afraid of Lord Zhou's feelings and dare not be too presumptuous, otherwise you will have eight heads, and I am afraid it will not be enough to cut off. Do you know? Lu Daosheng, this bastard, sued you for shooting Shangguan, this is a capital crime. ”

Zhang Shiheng's last sentence immediately completely hooked the stubborn temper in Qin Chuan's bones.

Qin Chuan sneered and said, "Shooting to stop the rebellious soldiers is a capital crime?" Could it be that the second-class commander of the imperial court is not guilty of plundering people's property? The brilliant adults inside, don't they know that the rope is not twisted, and the law is not expensive? ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan still didn't know what was at stake, Zhang Shiheng stomped his feet heavily angrily, and he couldn't stop his speech.

"Hey, I said you are a fake foreign devil, but I will quote the scriptures and drag the text. The rope is not twisted, the law is not expensive, that is Shang Ying's initiative, but do you know what happened to Shang Ying? The car cracked and died. ”

"In the "Book of Rites", there have long been people who are not polite, and they can't be punished by doctors, but what is it talking about? That means that the common people are not eligible to enjoy courtesy. Although you are an alternate official, after all, you are always an alternate, that is, a common person, just by virtue of this, you can't win the lawsuit with Lu Daosheng. ”

"Lu Daosheng's second-grade senior member, he has long been enough to be a doctor, not to mention Zhongtang, it is the emperor's disposal, it is just the article of arson and plundering people's property, and there is no one to do with life, what do you think will happen to him? At most, it is just a dismissal and retention, and it is not good to say that after a year and a half, the official will be reinstated. In all dynasties, this favor has always been greater than the law。。。。。。 ”

After a long time, seeing that Qin Chuan was still standing proudly with his neck bent, it was obvious that he didn't listen at all, Zhang Shiheng couldn't help but beg anxiously.

"I said Minghong, I beg you, although Lu Daosheng's bastard gave you a lot of hats, and there are those Qiu Ba's surging emotions, but I think there is Lord Zhou, if Lord Zhou doesn't express his position, everyone understands the implication, Zhongtang always has to take care of Lord Zhou's face, so it is impossible for such a thing to happen if you lose your head."

"However, since you are here, and things are so unbearable, Zhongtang must always have an explanation, there will be a result in a while, and then you must not lose your temper, even if you admit your mistake, even if it is over, no matter how big the punishment is, it will be easy to handle with Lord Zhou."

Zhang Shiheng had to persuade again, he didn't want Zhang Wenxuan to have a cold face, and strode out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion with dozens of Goshha with waist knives, Zhang Shiheng couldn't help but be stunned, nervously opening his mouth and unable to speak. (To be continued.) )
