Chapter 30: The Handle
Judging from Xu Ning's reaction, Zhang Ru was sure that he must still have something hidden, so when he returned to the General Soldier's Mansion from Qianhu, he immediately ordered his subordinates to dig three feet into the ground and find out the finances hidden in the General Soldier's Residence.
It's like a tiger who has never seen meat, and when he tastes the sweetness, he wants to eat a big fat man in one go.
Compared with the heat in the Datong General Military Mansion, in the official residence of Wan'an in the capital, there are two people sitting on pins and needles at this time.
One of them is naturally Wan An, the owner of the house, and the other is Zhang Ru's old enemy, and the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, who is eager to peel his skin and cramp, is Wan Tong.
Wan An shook the letter and said to Wan Dao, who was pacing back and forth: "Look at this trouble, I said that kid is not easy to provoke, you don't believe it, you want to provoke, now it's okay!" A dignified feudal official made people go to Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison like this, and a Jinyi Wei Qianhu was directly taken down, and even the prefect was in danger. ”
Wantong said impatiently: "The matter has come to this point, and now we should find a way to remedy it, instead of complaining to each other." ”
"Remedy, how do you say it?" Wan An said urgently.
Wan Tong pondered for a moment and said: "The soldiers of the border town have always been fierce, not to mention that Xu Ning has been working in Datong Town for so many years, and there are always some henchmen. As long as Xu Ning gives the order and let his subordinates make trouble, he is not afraid that Zhang Ru will not comply. ”
Wan An said: "Now it's not a question of whether Xu Ning gives an order or not, he himself is in prison, how to give an order." Zhang Ru was thoughtful, and he would not give him such an opportunity. ”
Wantong stroked his forehead with his hand: "This problem will be solved by asking the elder Ge Lao." ”
Wan An said dissatisfiedly: "What can I do, you said that you wanted to deal with Zhang Ru at the beginning, but now even your subordinates have folded in, you can't help it, I'm a bad old man, what can I do." ”
Wan Tong sneered: "Could it be that the elder of Fei Ge is really as outsiders say, it is not a piece of paper?" ”
"You..." Wan An blushed with anger, he knew that someone was talking about the three scholars in the cabinet behind his back, and he didn't know what to do with his cheekiness. But no matter how thick-skinned a person is, he has to be face-saving after all, and he was said by Wantong to his face that it was paper paste, and Wan'an also lost his temper: "You are so good, you can get it yourself, the old man doesn't care about it." ”
Probably realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Wantong hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, you also know that I can't say anything good about me." ”
Wan An snorted coldly, but did not answer.
In desperation, Wantong had no choice but to bring out his killer weapon: "What my sister means, this Zhang Ru went to Datong, it's best not to come back, if you want to come back, it's okay, she hopes that the person who comes back is mourning." ”
Speaking of the concubine Niangniang, who is still in her fifties, Rao is Wan is angry with Wan Tong, and she has to become calm. If it weren't for Wan Zhen'er's struggle, he would have been picked up by the emperor for many years of inaction.
Daming is full of talents, when will it be his turn to be the first assistant.
"What do you want me to do, say it!" Wan An said angrily.
Wan Channel: "Qiu Ba in the army has never been reasonable, only obeys those who are good to them, Xu Ning is a good person in Beijing, and he should also be a man below, as long as someone instigates the army's heart, I am not afraid that those Qiu Ba will not show Zhang Ru's face when the time comes." With Zhang Ru's fiery temper, it will definitely be suppressed by the people of Jinyiwei, hum, kill so many people, and completely arouse the bloody nature of Qiu Ba, Zhang Ru is difficult to end even if he wants to. Therefore, please ask the elder of the cabinet to write a letter, and let the prefect Yan Fu send someone to stir up the emotions of the sergeants and soldiers, and you and I only need to sit on the mountain in the capital and watch the tiger fight. ”
"You're sure it's safe?" Yan Fu is Wan'an's disciple, and he, as a teacher, does not accept the filial piety of his disciples during the New Year's holidays, so he naturally has to think about it for his disciples.
Wantong patted his chest and said: "This thing can definitely be done, can't even I believe it." ”
After thinking about it again and again, Wan An ordered someone to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and gave a letter of resignation to Yan Fu on the spot, and his words were extremely intense, almost describing Zhang Ru as a **** that everyone could get and be punished.
In order to arouse Yan Fu's enthusiasm, he also vaguely said in the letter that if this matter is done, he will let Yan Fu go further.
What is the concept of going further?
That means that from a prefect to a feudal official, the official of the third rank can't run, the prefect is only four grades, but the governor has three grades. And most of the governors are directly appointed by the central government, Wan An promised Yan Fu to be the governor of Shanxi, and he is afraid that he will not work hard to do things for himself?
The letter was sent out through the post station, but it was Wan'an's own people, if this letter fell into the hands of someone with a heart, I was afraid that a man would not be able to escape the charge of betraying the lord.
Although the emperor doesn't care much about political affairs, he has his own reverse scales, and Wan An, who has served Zhu Jianshen for decades, knows best that if anyone touches the emperor's reverse scales, the end is not as simple as losing his head. And unfortunately, the official selling the knight happens to be one of the emperor's reverse scales.
He didn't quite agree with some of Wantong's approaches, and he thought that the best way to deal with Zhang Ru was to be honest and honest. It's a pity that Wan An was used to using intrigues and tricks and didn't follow his advice as the head of the court.
Three days later, Yan Fu, who received the letter, was really disproportionate by the governor's high position, and he didn't even leave time for himself to think about it, so he immediately sent someone to the Datong border army station.
In the big camp five miles northwest of Datong, the soldiers of Datongwei were busy with a day's training, dragging their tired bodies and preparing to go back to the barracks to rest, when suddenly the sound of the military horn remembered that they had to rush to the school field with a stinky sweat to assemble.
Someone couldn't help complaining: "What's the situation, Lao Tzu has been busy for a day, and he has no time to rest." ”
The person who spoke had some prestige in the army, and he should be dressed as an officer, and there were many people around him.
This is a bad deal for Yan Fu's master, this shriveled and thin little old man has never dealt with these unreasonable Qiu Ba in his life, so he has to turn his attention to Yang Rong, the deputy chief soldier, for help.
It's a pity that this Yang Rong has always coveted the position of the general soldier of Datong, and he wished that Xu Ning would die in Jinyi Weizhao Prison, knowing that Yan Fu, the prefect and Xu Ning, was out of one nostril, where was he willing to help the master speak.
Asking for help failed, the master cleared his throat and said hoarsely: "Letter from the capital, when the cabinet of the dynasty is a big man, Lord Shiwan affirmed your merits for the country, but the traitors of Datong are in charge, the general soldiers have been arrested, and the dragons have no leader, and I hope that you can work together to fight against the Tartars." ”
"Cut, the general soldier was arrested to do Lao Tzu's bird business, Lao Tzu has not been paid for half a year, and he is so poor in his pocket that he wipes cloth, and he doesn't tell Lao Tzu about those vain, so if the old man of the Bird Pavilion really sympathizes with us rough men who live with their heads, they will take some practical action, at least so that the brothers can have a good meal before they die." It was the complaining officer who shouted loudly.
The master wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This... This one... As long as the chief soldier comes out, he will definitely pay you back your salary. ”
The man jumped to his feet and scolded: "Let your mother's dog stinky fart, it is because Xu Ning's old puppet Lao Tzu has no military salary, and Lao Tzu is still looking forward to him coming out to do something." The soldiers under his command are all full of fat stomachs, and the military salary is also double ours, and his grandmother's is paid on time. When he came to Lao Tzu, he Xu Ning couldn't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, and he couldn't be bullied by Lao Tzu! ”
Many of the Datongwei are northern men, and many of them are from northern Shaanxi, they are very hot, and under the instigation of that man, there is a tendency to rush out and run away from the master.
Yang Rong coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "I can't do it if I want to rebel!" Don't you see that the master is a weak scholar, you are like this, if you are scared to death of the master, let alone the military salary, your head will have to be moved. ”
There are not a few people who have been provoked to be emotional, and one of them, a middle-aged soldier who looks old and serious, looked at him and said, "Then the master is giving us an explanation!" We are not raised by our stepmother, we support our families one by one, relying on this military salary, without military salary, how do you let us live? ”
This farce did not continue because a new farce appeared.
Xu Ning is not a person who has achieved nothing, there are naturally people in the army who speak for him, and under the verbal criticism of these men in northern Shaanxi, Xu Ning's cronies immediately jumped out: "General Soldier Xu treats us well on weekdays, and the matter of military salary is also in arrears of the household department, and the chief soldier himself has not received the salary, so it is no wonder that the chief soldier has this matter." ”
Only a very small number of people incited antagonistic feelings, only a very small number spoke for Xu Ning, and most of the rest maintained a neutral position. Hearing what the man said, the big guy felt that this seemed to make sense, at least Datongwei had been under Xu Ning's rule for three years, and no one had his head chopped off for violating military law.
The wind direction flickered in the east and west, and Yang Rong was not easy to control, so he simply closed his mouth and said nothing, letting the master look at the soldiers below with sweat.
These soldiers are only part of the Datongwei, and they are part of the Chinese army. There are still soldiers in the Chinese army who express their dissatisfaction with Xu Ning, let alone other troops.
For a while, the people on both sides forgot about the tiredness of their bodies and scolded each other. I have been scolding for half an hour, and the people on both sides are close to exhaustion, and the vulgar language of greeting each other's ancestors eighteen generations of women has disappeared.
When the master saw it, he didn't tell who was right and who was wrong, and said in his heart: Oh no, the prefect's explanation has not been done, so this time it is not in vain.
Taking advantage of the fact that those soldiers had not dispersed in a hurry, the master hurriedly said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing now is to rescue General Soldier Xu, only when General Soldier Xu comes out, can all problems be solved." ”
Yang Rong frowned, and his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened: "It's all gone, tomorrow, if you can't do it, military law will serve." ”
The master was in a hurry, and grabbed Yang Rong: "General Yang, you..."
Yang Rong glanced at him: "Go back and tell you Lord Yan, next time you have to play with your heart and let him come by himself, you are a little master, you are not qualified." ”
