At the sound of the order, everyone was shocked. Emperor, what's the matter, isn't it very gentle on weekdays? Wu Qimeng is also a loyal minister of Song Shicheng, and he will be beheaded whatever he says. In the midst of the doubt, no one stepped forward to intercede. On the face of Wu Qimeng, his face suddenly turned white, and he forgot to beg for mercy. On the contrary, Zhuo Yan looked at this situation and was slightly surprised, and said: "Mr. Yue, although this martial arts enlightenment is disobedient this time, he has done things very decently in the past, and he is a capable minister. The army is about to set off, it is just the use of people, it is a pity to kill him at this moment, can you spare his life and let him regret it......"

Yue Shao was silent and noncommittal. The attendants on the side were already standing behind Wu Qimeng, but they didn't know whether to pull him down for a while. At this time, Wu Qimeng also reacted, hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "The emperor spares his life, his subordinates are guilty, and his subordinates deserve death, I just ask the emperor to read the love of the past, open the net, and tolerate the love under ......the law."

Yue Shao'an's face was pale, deaf to him, turned his back, and said, "Pull it down......"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, a horse swept away the crowd and rushed straight over, the person on the horse whipped like rain, and when he was not far from Yue Shao'an, he didn't stop his horse, turned the horse around suddenly, and he jumped down. It's just that his movements are not very agile, so it can be seen that he is not a martial arts master, so when he fell off the horse, the whole person instantly lost his balance, fell down from his head to the ground, and rolled on the ground for a distance, until he stopped after hitting Wu Qimeng. Wu Qimeng was already old and frail, and when he hit him, the whole person fell to the ground, his head knocked on the ground, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and even the gray beard was dyed red.

The man didn't care about anything else, he got up with a bone, his body was already bloodied, and half of his face was covered with blood. He kowtowed three times in a row, and only the skin and flesh on the top of his head were cracked, and there was still a little grain of sand, and then he cried: "The emperor is gracious, my father is old and confused, and his subordinates have sent grain and grass to the barracks not long ago." I also begged the emperor to spare my father from death, and his subordinates were punished for their crimes......"

Yue Shao'an looked at the two people kneeling side by side in front of him, covered in blood, he couldn't help frowning, and turned sideways to Zhuo Yan and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Zhuo Yan looked at it and said, "This person's name is Wuhan Ran, he is the only son of Wu Qimeng, and he is also his deputy, but he is quite capable and talented." ”

Yue Shaoan nodded. He looked at the Wuhan Ran and thought about it in his heart. Now that the army is about to be released, it is a time when there is a shortage of talents, originally he wanted to cut off the martial enlightenment and let his deputy take over, but now it seems that this martial enlightenment cannot be killed. After thinking for a while, Yue Shaoan sighed lightly and said, "Wuhan Ran, you have already delivered the military rations?" ”

"Yes!" Wuhan Ran replied solemnly.

"Oh?" Yue Shaoan looked at him lightly and said, "Why is this?" Didn't your father hold on to the grain and weed? ”

"Return to the Emperor!" Wuhan Ran said respectfully: "As soon as the day dawned, General Niu Ren sent people to fetch grain. At that time, my father said that the grain and grass were not available, so he asked General Niu Ren to come back the next day. After his subordinates found out, they were afraid that the generals in the army would misunderstand, so they hurriedly raised it and sent it over. It was still too late to know there. When his subordinates delivered the grain, he learned that General Zhang had left and came to urge the grain. The subordinates hurried over, but unexpectedly, they were still a step slower...... The matter has come to this, and his subordinates dare not excuse their father. I just ask the emperor to read that his father has always been loyal to the emperor, and he will take his father's life......"

Yue Shao'an stared at Wuhan Ran tightly, his gaze as if he wanted to penetrate his body and see through what he was thinking. Wuhan Ran lowered his head, occasionally raised his eyes to meet Yue Shao'an's gaze, and hurriedly moved away, not daring to look at him.

After a long time, Yue Shaoan whispered softly and said, "Okay, I think of your filial piety, and you can make up for it in time." spared his life, but the death penalty could be avoided, but the living sin could not be escaped. Remove all official positions of Wu Qimeng, be grounded in Chengxian County, and never leave half a step for life! With that, Yue Shao'an turned the horse's head and walked away slowly, Zhuo Yan glanced at Liao Hua, and followed closely.

The father and son of the martial family knelt on the spot, and their heads slammed on the ground, and they were very grateful. Liao Hua watched from the sidelines and shook his head incessantly, why is this so painful. He stepped forward to pick up the two of them, and after summoning his subordinates to bandage the wounds of the two, he said to Wu Qimeng: "Boss, you are so good at cultivating your life, in fact, the emperor is not targeting you personally this time, but in this Song Shi city, dare to put the emperor's words behind and follow the will of others, which is very bad." The emperor is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger......"

Wu Kaimeng's body was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Liao Hua in surprise.

Liao Hua said again: "Don't worry, the emperor won't embarrass you." Looking at the meaning of the emperor, he wants to promote your son, you must not make the emperor angry again, otherwise you will ......"

"Alas, don't worry, Lord Liao!" Wu Qimeng shook his head and sighed: "The old man is now a useless person, what else will he think there." I just want to spend my old age in peace, and I don't have to be in a different place when I am leaving......" With that, he walked towards the mansion with a somewhat unsettled expression. Wuhan Ran went to help him, but he pushed him away.

Liao Hua rushed up and said to Wuhan Ran: "After settling down the boss, I will come in to see the emperor......

Wuhan Ran turned around and asked, "What did Lord Liao say?" ”

Liao Hua smiled secretly: "Don't ask about this, just go later." ”

"Lord Liao, can't you guess the emperor's thoughts?" Wuhan Ran asked in some surprise.

Liao Hua hurriedly waved his hand, coughed dryly, and said, "Master Wu, don't hold Liao Hua up so high, you have this ability there." This was ordered by Lord Zhuo Yan. ”

"Got it down!" Wuhan Ran nodded, reported his fist, and said, "Thank you!" ”

"They are all colleagues, they all work for the emperor, there is nothing to thank." Liao Hua said politely: "Lord Wu is busy first, so I won't bother later." ”

"Lord Liao, please ......"

After Liao Hua explained the matter, he hurriedly went back to resume his life.

On the way, Yue Shao'an and Zhuo Yan walked side by side, Yue Shao'an's brows were tightly locked, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Wuhan Ran, what do you think?" ”

"This person is available." Zhuo Yan said: "Now there is a shortage of capable officials in this area in the city, and for a while, I can't find a person who understands the situation and can handle things handy. Moreover, keeping him also left a bottom line in the hearts of the old ministers. Therefore, I think it is better to continue to use him, straighten him up, and take over the authority of Wu Qimeng. However, this is my personal opinion, and it is up to Mr. Yue to decide whether to use it or not. ”

Yue Shaoan smiled softly and said, "This person is very smart. In just a few words, he described disobedience as incompetence, and although he was equally guilty, the guilt was much smaller. Such a person, if used well, is a great help, and if it is not used well, it is a disaster. Well, use him as you wish, but keep an eye on him. Don't let anything go wrong......"

"Yes!" Zhuo Yan nodded in agreement, and then said with a puzzled face: "Mr. Yue, you sent that martial arts enlightenment to Chengxian County, is this a bit of a risk, we are going to war with Dali." Nacheng County was close to Dali again, in case they were informed by their detectives, so they arrested Wu Qimeng. Then, with these experiences and information about his money and grain, Dali will be able to calculate the amount of grain and grass we have, which will be harmful to the westward expedition of the army. Isn't it ......"

Yue Shaoan shook his head and said, "No need! Where is Wen Chengfang now? ”

"The civil control system is not in the barracks these days, as if he is buying ordnance and cotton tents, and it stands to reason that there is no shortage of these in the army, and there is no need for this. However, after a big war, these materials will inevitably be in short supply, and the price will also rise at that time, so it is right to take precautions. ”

Yue Shaoan nodded and didn't say anything more. The two of them walked slowly towards the mansion. Suddenly, a fast horse in front of him came to report that Yang Fan had sent someone to repair it......

Yue Shao'an and Zhuo Yan were both surprised, and hurriedly rushed to the mansion......
