When Shen Xiyi saw Yang Chengzu coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief, first gave ginseng, and then handed over a few silver tickets with an embarrassed face.

"Cen Meng has always been a bastard, and the people under him are just like him, all of them are bastards who don't know how to be polite. You are a noble person from Beijing, and you can't do it with their knowledge. The last general didn't ask for them, but just to tell the truth, those bastards didn't know that you were Qincha, otherwise they would never dare to offend Huwei. Although Cen Meng has different aspirations, he is not a fool, he wants to rebel, but he will not be really stupid enough to be sent to death needlessly. He has already agreed, and tomorrow he will give Qin Cha a wine to ask for his guilt and apologize in person. Please also return those prisoners to him for disposal. The court customized, the local people violated the law, and the local officials disposed of it, which was related to the face of the local officials, he could not retreat, and there was no way to retreat. However, the last general can guarantee that these people will definitely be several times worse if they fall into the hands of Toast than if they fall into your hands. In Qincha's eyes, they are human beings, and in the eyes of Tusi, they can only be regarded as livestock, no matter how much they toss, it is not too much. ”

Yang Chengzu didn't answer this question, but looked at Shen Xiyi, Leng Feishuang was afraid that he would be hungry, so he sent a plate of snacks over, and Yang Chengzu also pointed at Shen Xiyi, "General Shen, don't be polite, come and eat together." Listening to the general's words, it seems that he is very familiar with those toasts. ”

Shen Xiyi didn't dare to really get dim sum, and seeing that Qin Cha looked homely, his spirit was somewhat relaxed. "I can't hide it, the last general is the commander of the same knowledge and the command of the honor guard, although he is a Han official, but most of the people he deals with are natives, and there are also a few natives in the family, and the third and fourth mothers in the family are all natives, and they still know some about their affairs, and they can be regarded as half natives." He smiled self-deprecatingly

"In the eyes of the natives, I am still a Han official, and in the eyes of the Han people, I am speaking for the natives, and I can't do well inside and outside. But the lower officials just have this stinky problem, and they can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they can't do it only from top to bottom. I know what you mean, maybe you want to clean up Cen Meng and kill the majesty. But I still have to say, this can't be done. If you want to kill him, you can only get reliable evidence and ask the court law to deal with it, like using these means, it will only make the natives have a hostile heart, and even if you don't want to rebel at that time, you can only rebel. ”

General Yang Chengzu said what he saw and heard in the Qing Mansion one by one, and finally asked: "General Shen, when this official heard about these things, is it true, or is someone slandered and made something out of nothing?" ”

"These things are not framed, in fact, the concubine of the big family still went to Cen Meng's barracks in person to ask people to come out. But when she got home, she was forced to commit suicide by her family, and as for the aunt, when I went, she was already crazy. I also took charge of the women who escaped from the barracks and sent them back. Because Cen Meng promised me that after I went back, I would find a husband for each of them, and no longer be disciplined, so that at least it would be a way to live. If they return home, they will have to die. The lesser of two evils, the lower officials think that it seems more important to save their lives. ”

"What you say may be reasonable, and there may be your troubles, but these are not important, what I care about is, what happens to the men who arrest them?"

"Every time I go, Cen Meng will definitely hand over a few prisoners for me to be executed in the barracks, and sometimes directly hand over the head. In short, either to fight or to kill, the punishment will definitely be punished, the two big families, Cen Meng went to the door to pay a gift, and each family gave fifty taels of golden sands. To put it mildly, that aunt's worth is not worth fifty taels of sand gold. ”

"Oh? According to General Shen, what do you mean, because that aunt is not worth fifty taels of gold, Cen Meng's behavior is beyond reproach, or is it that Cen Meng has been wronged? ”

Shen Xiyi obviously knew that Qin Cha's words were the opposite, but she still spoke sincerely, and her demeanor did not change much. "This is definitely not a matter of Qin Cha's liking, and the lower officials also know that you must think that I am protecting Cen Meng. But what I want to say is that the small place, the poor countryside, is different from the best place in Beijing, and it is also different from the rich land in Zhejiang. Those wolf soldiers left their homeland, from Guangxi to Guangdong, and their fields were about to be deserted, and maybe when they returned home, they would find that some relative had starved to death because of their expedition. Also, when I came home, I found that my wife had a child with someone else, which is a common thing. The food and salary of the imperial court are not good, and they have to prepare their own military supplies, so how can it be said that the wolf soldiers have no complaints in their hearts? If there is a complaint, it is necessary to spread fire, and if the fire is not spread, it may cause a war disaster. It is true that some people are suffering now, but if they are blindly punished severely, so that the wolf soldiers are chilled and not temperate, then the people who suffer will only be afraid of more. ”

He pointed to the outside of the city, "Although there are 20,000 troops gathered in Guangzhou City now, there are not many who really have combat power. Except for the standard camp of the military gate, there must be wolf soldiers who can fight. Now there are thousands of people on Tuen Mun Island Buddha Yi and the rebel bandits, and once the thieves counterattack, it is necessary to use the wolf soldiers as the vanguard to break the thieves. When the time comes, these people will be desperate. The map of Tuen Mun has been looked at, and the station of the Buddha is also on the mountain, and the wolf soldiers are good at mountain warfare, whether it is self-protection or island attack, they are inseparable from the wolf soldiers. The Yiren firearms were sharp, and as soon as the war began, there were many wolf soldiers who were afraid that they would never be able to return to their hometowns. Guangxi is poor, and many people can't get a wife in their lifetime, so it's understandable that they try to find a woman for themselves. ”

Yang Chengzu's face gradually turned cold, "General Shen, when you say that, you mean that those captive women should say thank you to them?" can be a wife for the wolf soldier, is it the creation cultivated in the previous life? ”

"Qincha, the lower official means that there are innocent people among those wolf soldiers. At this point, there is no difference between wolf soldiers and Han soldiers, in my Han family, there are also lawbreakers and loyal people. It is precisely because of this that we have to talk about military law, and if someone violates the law, they will be dealt with by military law, and there is nothing to say. But just because there are some mischief, you can't be angry with all the wolf soldiers. Moreover, Tianzhou is poor, and the imperial court is also responsible, they can't marry a wife, and they can't all blame themselves. In this way, it is not fair enough to the wolf soldiers or to the natives. ”

He looked at Yang Chengzu's face, but still gritted his teeth and said, "As an official, I shouldn't be emotional, but I should also take care of the overall situation." What you care about is the name of one or two women, and what you will consider in the end is the safety of the whole Guangzhou and the stability of the two Guangzhous. If the pirates attack the city on a large scale and the wolf soldiers go away with a chill, after the loss of Guangzhou, will those women be able to keep their reputation? When the thieves come ashore, how many village women should be victimized? If the Cen clan led Tianzhou for many years and was deeply supported, if he peeled his face and made the natives resentful and hated Hanguan as the enemy, Cen Meng would inevitably take the opportunity to rise up and incite the natives to rebel. In the event of a mutiny, the number of victims is even more difficult to count. can't spoil the major affairs of the court for the sake of the two laughing women, and let the two Guang fall into the connection of arms. The lower officials dare to offend, please send Qin to release Huang De and the others, I promise, let Cen Meng give you an explanation. ”

Those two women are just Chang women who came out to sell, and there are no decent people with face in the city to be backers, even if they are really captured by wolf soldiers and killed, at most they will lose a sum of money, and Qunfangyuan will give up the investigation. What's more, the current situation is not so bad, it is nothing more than a trouble, Shen Xiyi took out the overall situation of the stability of the two Guangxi, and then promised that the wolf soldiers would not go to Qunfang Courtyard to make trouble in the future, and Yang Chengzu would not be easy to speak.

At this moment, Leng Feishuang came in from outside and handed a few pieces of paper to Yang Chengzu. Yang Chengzu glanced at it a few times, and a sneer appeared on his face, "I'm sorry General Shen, I'm afraid I can't give you this face, and Cen Meng can't give this explanation." Look at this! ”

The paper in his hand was Huang De's confession and the final painting, which admitted that the concubine of a large family was caught in the barracks by a dozen of his people. At the bottom of the confession, there is also a cross drawn by Huang De, and a hand mold on it.
