"Master Jun, what should you do about this? Look at the girls in our family are crying into tears, and after such an incident, it is also a big blow to the reputation of the girls. Seeing that the five soldiers confessed to the incident, the old bustard immediately said, with a triumphant attitude.

"Don't worry, when their chief comes, he will give you an explanation." Wang Sirui said lightly.

Seeing Wang Sirui say this, the old bustard was relieved, but even the old bustard who was relieved was unforgiving, and continued to chatter about the five soldiers.

Regarding the bustard's behavior, Wang Sirui did not stop it, but let it say it casually.

At present, although Wang Sirui controls the entire capital, including the royal family and those ministers, this does not mean that Wang Sirui has controlled everyone.

For the Han people, this is easy to say. By forcing businessmen to lower grain prices, Wang Sirui has more or less accumulated a certain reputation among the people.

Although they didn't know that this matter was Wang Sirui's decision, it had nothing to do with the so-called imperial court. But the truth will always be revealed one day, and when that day comes, they will be more determined to support Wang Sirui.

And another force in the capital is Wang Sirui's headache. That is, those Manchurian children who live in the inner city, it is impossible for Wang Sirui to monitor everyone, just like those ministers, without Wang Sirui's permission, they are not allowed to leave the house at will, let alone run around to meet people, and even food is distributed by the army.

For those Manchurians' hatred, Wang Sirui can only use other methods to resolve it, perhaps slaughter is the best choice, because only the dead will not have hatred for themselves.

But at the moment, Wang Sirui can't use massacres to solve all the problems, because this involves future development, and even about Wang Sirui's reputation.

In one, now Wang Sirui is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and while Wang Sirui is still pulling the emperor's tiger skin, he can't do anything to the Manchurians.

As for these five soldiers, Wang Sirui was not angry.

After all, physiological needs, one by one, are men who have been in the army all year round, if they are busy, it is easy to say, but when they are free, if someone goes to tell them something about this aspect, it will naturally be extremely curious about these soldiers.

Fortunately, the five soldiers did not take any chances, and fortunately they chose to go to a brothel instead of forcing the women of the common people's house.

Otherwise, what awaits them now will be a cold bullet.

It didn't take long for Qin Chunfeng, the head of the Tenth Regiment, to rush over.

Previously, Qin Chunfeng was going door-to-door to collect silver and grain, and after being notified by the military correspondent, Qin Chunfeng was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to let Wang Sirui wait for a long time.

Along the way, Qin Chunfeng had basically understood the matter. However, for those few people who claimed to be soldiers of the Tenth Regiment, Qin Chunfeng still had some doubts in his heart.

This matter is actually not big or small, it all depends on Wang Sirui's mood, and Qin Chunfeng is busy doing another big thing related to the Han army, so do you still have the heart to deal with such a small matter? Therefore, on the way back, Qin Chunfeng had already decided to let Wang Sirui deal with this matter, no matter whether these people were soldiers of the Tenth Regiment or not, he would not intercede for them.

Of course, this was just what Qin Chunfeng was thinking in his heart on the way here.

In fact, when Qin Chunfeng arrived at the scene and saw the five soldiers who were tied behind his back, his face immediately changed, and he even faintly felt a little angry.

"Army commander, these five people are soldiers of our tenth regiment, two of them have made major meritorious contributions, and now they are squad leaders, and they are the reserve platoon commanders of our regiment with a relatively high ranking." Qin Chunfeng walked to Wang Sirui's side and said quietly.

At this time, Qin Chunfeng's decision when he came had been completely forgotten, and from his words, Wang Sirui had already heard the meaning of pleading.

Of the five people, two are the higher-ranked reserve captains, what does that mean?

However, there are only two possibilities for those who can be included in the list of reserve platoon leaders, the first is that they have made major meritorious contributions, and the other is that they have leadership qualities.

And the list of reserve rankings is actually the rule set by Wang Sirui for the ministries, they must always prepare for the training of officers, once there is an emergency, these people must be able to immediately go up.

The top ranking can only be soldiers with both, so in other words, these two people are the future officers of the 10th Regiment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are deputy platoon commanders.

Wang Sirui nodded secretly, since it has been decided, then the follow-up things will be easy to do.

"Now that their identities have been confirmed, as our soldiers, we will naturally not be irresponsible, and we will pay their prostitutes in full." Wang Sirui said directly, and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him: "Give them fifty taels of silver." ”

"What? Fifty taels of silver want to send us away? Fifty taels was the previous friendship price, it was a discount for the sake of your hard work, and now your attitude makes me feel cold, you must pay according to the original price, don't say that I embarrass you soldiers, let's just follow this market price, one hundred taels of silver per person. If you don't believe me, you can go and inquire, if there is anything lower than this price, I will double it. Seeing that Wang Sirui directly agreed to pay, the old bustard was immediately dissatisfied.

It doesn't matter to her whether the money is or not, the important thing is that the influence of this matter must be spread.

And if the price is increased tenfold in one breath, even if the other party is a high-ranking military official, he will be angry because of the old bustard's approach, and if he scolds a few words, or says something threatening, the effect will be even better.

"Give them five hundred taels of silver!" Wang Sirui glanced at the old bustard and continued.

Wang Sirui's happiness made the old bustard helpless for a while, people have already done what she asked, if she is still unforgiving at this time, this damage is not the reputation of the other gang of soldiers, but her own reputation.

As for those who open brothels, it is not good to have a reputation, and once the news of her sky-high price is spread, I am afraid that there will be no customers willing to come to them in the future.

However, when he thought of his task, the old bustard finally gritted his teeth and continued: "Okay, the military master is really a happy person, but these five really hurt the hearts of the girls, so the girls want to know how the military master will deal with these five, I think, the girls' idea should not be too much, right?" ”

"Money, I've already paid for them, what to do with them, this is an internal matter of the army, are you sure you want to find out military secrets?" Wang Sirui asked with a smile.

"This ......," the old bustard was a little speechless for a moment.

Inquire into the secrets of the army, she will never dare to do this, even if the person behind her has given her a lot of benefits, but after all, the opposite side is the army, let her make a fuss, as long as the action is in her heart, don't go too far, she still dares to come, but to explore military secrets, that is a big crime of the nine clans.

As for what is a military secret, this definition is even simpler, as long as the army says it is a secret, even if they have a meal at noon, this is also a secret, as long as they say it is not a secret, no matter how they plan to fight the next war, this is not a secret.

"Doing business pays attention to personal interests, since you have got what you deserve, then this transaction is completed, you and I are willing to do something, no one should make trouble for yourself. It's all gone! Wang Sirui said a word to the old bustard, and then turned around and returned to the barracks.

'Bang Bang ......'

Just as Wang Sirui turned around and returned to the barracks, there was fierce applause at the gate of the camp.

The applause came from the crowd, and at first it was just one or two people clapping, and then more and more people joined in.

They applauded, not because the soldiers went to the brothels and could still pay the money. Rather, they were very satisfied with the attitude of this army, first of all, the matter of lower grain prices, and in this matter the army showed a sufficiently pro-people attitude.

And this time it was blackmailed to the door, the army did not get angry, but paid according to the market price, it was Wang Sirui's attitude that made these onlookers feel that this army seemed to be different from the previous Qing army, and this applause was their heartfelt applause.

Calm was restored at the entrance of the barracks, and the onlookers dispersed. However, no one noticed that at the same time as the bustard and the others left, several figures appeared behind them, and these people were quietly following them.

In the barracks, the five soldiers had been untied and stood in front of Wang Sirui in a row, Qin Chunfeng on the side was also a little anxious, but he didn't know how to plead.

"I wonder why they're in a brothel when they're supposed to be on a mission?" Wang Sirui pointed at the five soldiers and looked at Qin Chunfeng.

"Commander, isn't it almost the New Year, and you also approved the order to allow the soldiers to take turns to rest." Qin Chunfeng said with a little weakness.

Although this is indeed an order approved by Wang Sirui, the problem is that it is now at a critical juncture, many regiments have temporarily canceled their vacations, and only the two regiments of the 10th Regiment and the 4th Regiment are still on rotational rest in the entire army, but the scale and vacation time are much shorter than before.

Although the above did not explicitly cancel the vacation, at this critical juncture, many troops took the initiative to postpone the vacation, which is also the reason why Qin Chunfeng is weak.

"You guys are really daring, and you don't pick a good place to visit a brothel. Although you have not violated military regulations, your actions have caused substantial losses to the military. Therefore, the military department must punish you. Wang Sirui reprimanded solemnly.

"Commander, we are willing to accept any punishment from the military department!" Qin Chunfeng replied honestly. (To be continued.) )
