After receiving the information handed over by Zhi Zhigang, who acted as Zhao Xiaoxi's bodyguard, the clear record of the time he left the city, and the city defense information passed by this general and the owner of the leather shop, Zhang Tingguang knew that he, the conscientious commander, was really killed by these two people who had a close relationship with him this time.

The uncle who was desperate to lie in the sea of gold and silver every day, in order to make more money, relied on his connections, and dared to privately sell salt and iron to the Liao State that was forbidden by the imperial court to be transported outside the customs, which was a big crime to be beheaded by the raid of his house. As for this henchman, just for money and beauty, he actually did treason with the enemy, it is also a big crime to be punished by the nine clans!

Zhang Tingguang, who sighed after reading these resources, knelt on the ground and said: "The last general will be guilty, and please ask the prince to punish the crime!" ”

Facing Zhang Tingguang, who confessed his guilt so neatly, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that the commander's heart at this moment was not comfortable. One is his dear uncle who raised him, and the other is a general who once fought side by side on the battlefield. Suddenly, the two of them suddenly became important criminals who were intolerable to the imperial court, and everyone could understand the taste.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who stepped down from the throne, also sighed in the same tone: "General Zhang, this king knows that you must be very uncomfortable in your heart at this moment, but things have already happened, and it will be useless for you to do it in vain."

However, what this king wants to say is that the matter between Zhou Bing and Yuntong Commercial Bank this time, several of you generals here are also very clear, why no one dares to stop it directly? If you want to say guilty, you deputy commanders are equally responsible. ”

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi's outspoken rebuke, several deputy commanders also felt ashamed, and knelt down in front of Zhao Xiaoxi to plead guilty. As for the protagonist Zhou Bing, he has become the object of everyone's ignorance.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who helped Zhang Tingguang, said very sincerely: "General Zhang, if something like this happens, this king is also very heartbroken. But what we have to do is to prevent such incidents from happening again. In addition, this king wants to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, I wonder if General Zhang is willing to accept it? ”

Seeing that this prince of Qincha County, unlike other ministers who dealt with this kind of matter, he directly dismissed him from his post and investigated, and then wantonly arrested his cronies who had a relationship with him. On the contrary, he also offered to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, which undoubtedly made Zhang Tingguang, who was dead in his heart, once again ignite hope.

'Thank you for the grace of the county prince, as long as the county king has instructions, Tingguang will never give up! ’

This time, the last general didn't say anything, and directly called himself by name, thinking that he was sincerely grateful to him, the minister.

In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled: "General Zhang, there is no need to die. You must also know that any of the above things are enough to make you resign from your post and lose your official position, and even your surname is difficult to protect. This king doesn't want you to be loyal and good, but because you neglected to supervise those close to you, you gave your life in vain. It's just that something happened, and this king wants to intercede for you in front of the opponent in the future, and I also hope for some words.

Now this king orders you to personally lead people to raid Li Ji's leather shop, as long as you can arrest Li Ji's leather shop, and the secret agents who sold and distributed it in the city, and can kill your relatives in righteousness, so that your uncle will take the initiative to confess his guilt. Perhaps the king can intercede before the Holy One, forgive your wife and children, and give you another chance to stay in your job. ”

Zhang Tingguang, who knew that this was already unkind, seemed very moved and said: "Thank you for the great grace of the county prince, Tingguang will definitely handle the things explained by the county prince within today, and give the county prince a satisfactory answer." ”

In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi nodded and said: "Okay, the king is waiting for your good news here, and after General Yang, General Gao, and General Zhao go down, they will order all the troops not to leave their posts without permission." Those who violate the order will be punished as rebellion and rebellion! ”

These three deputy commanders made it clear to the prince that they wanted them to take over the commander's general's camp to prevent the situation from changing. In addition, following the commander to set off to arrest the spy personnel of Li Ji's leather store, as well as the righteous extermination of relatives to make the money-greedy uncle confess to the law, they were all drawn from the army controlled by Yang Shipeng.

Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's arrangement in front of him, Zhang Tingguang also knew that this was an inevitable thing to do to prevent chaos in the border army. On the spot, he told several cronies and generals that they would restrain their respective generals, and those who dared to disobey the orders of the prince of the county would also be killed. This proves that he is still loyal to the court and the current saint.

As Zhou Bing was paralyzed on the ground like his muscles and bones, and was guarded by Zhang Tingguang's personal soldiers, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting in the camp, began to take over the control of the border army. And the shopkeeper and clerk of Li Kee's leather shop, who were running a business, knew that their affairs had been exposed when they saw that the commander of Guancheng personally led troops to surround this place.

Just when they were caught off guard and ready to commit suicide, how could Zhang Tingguang, who finally got a chance to save himself, let them die so happily? Ordered the accompanying soldiers to arrest all the shopkeepers of the leather store, and at the same time confiscate everything inside and outside the leather store.

When a few scimitars for the Liao people were found from the secret cabinet inside, as well as the identity tokens of the Liao army spies, Zhang Tingguang directly interrogated them on the spot in the leather store, and the rest of the accomplices who were still hidden in the city. Every time one was asked, a team of elite soldiers would be sent to arrest them, and in the end, they couldn't ask anything, so they ordered these Liao army spies to be escorted back to the barracks.

After dealing with the matter of the leather store, Zhang Tingguang directly led troops to surround his uncle's family, who still didn't know that the catastrophe had fallen from the sky. looked at the door and said directly, "Uncle, go to the yamen yourself to confess!" Zhang Tingguang, this uncle really realized that this nephew already knew about his smuggling of salt and iron to the Liao people.

I thought that if I wiped some tears and told him some kindness like before, this nephew would let him go. As a result, the nephew sighed and said, "Uncle, you still don't understand Tingguang's intention to let you be cautious in your words and deeds." Over the years, you have earned money that is difficult for others to earn in several lifetimes by relying on the business bank, so what's the use of asking for so much money?

Now that Lord Chincha is in the barracks, give me a chance to atone for my sins. Are you willing to go to the yamen to confess your guilt yourself, so that your aunt and cousin will not be affected by you, or are you willing to watch our Zhang family being beheaded? Uncle, selling salt and iron privately is a big crime to destroy your family, don't you want to kill yourself to make money? ”

As soon as they heard this, the Zhang family, who had helped to intercede just now, was also directly shocked. It turned out that this was not that Zhang Tingguang did not protect this uncle who had nurtured him, but that the matter had already reached the point of protecting this uncle or protecting the descendants of the Zhang family.

Uncle Zhang Tingguang, who finally understood the seriousness of the matter, no longer pleaded, and agreed to take the initiative to go to the yamen to confess his guilt with a decadent face. and is willing to hand over the wealth of the family that he used to be proud of. After all, at this time, if you want money or death, the patriarch of the Zhang family, who is almost greedy, hesitates.

When Zhang Tingguang personally took this uncle to the yamen, who was in charge of civil affairs in the city, he voluntarily surrendered and confessed, and the officials of the yamen heard about this affair and sold salt and iron to the enemy country. I was immediately scared and didn't know what to do. After all, in this city, the Commander has control over them as well.

Until Zhang Tingguang told them that they would be judged according to the law, and as for the next matter, it was up to Lord Qincha to deal with it. As soon as they heard this, the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and put the uncle, who had been a high-ranking commander, into the prison of the Yamen, and ordered the officials to take strict care of them and wait for the fate of the Chincha.

After sending his uncle to prison and imprisoning him, Zhang Tingguang ordered the soldiers to confiscate the Wanguan family property that brought disaster to the Zhang family, and load it into a truck, ready to be handed over to the county prince to dispose of. For those members of the Zhang family who were reluctant to make money, Zhang Tingguang directly said, 'Do you want money or death', and no one dared to say anything in an instant.

Pulling these fortunes that brought disaster to the Zhang family, Zhang Tingguang also didn't know how to lead the troops back to the barracks in the future, and truthfully reported the two things explained by Zhao Xiaoxi to Zhao Xiaoxi, and then waited for the county prince to make a final judgment on him.

In the face of this incident, Zhang Tingguang showed awe-inspiring righteousness, and Zhao Xiaoxi didn't want this military general who was promoted to the commander by virtue of his military exploits, so he put his surname on this matter in vain. Wouldn't it be wiser to save it for the useful, and then go into battle to kill the enemy in the future to atone for your sins?

Knowing that Zhang Tingguang's command was afraid that he would not be able to do it, Zhao Xiaoxi waved back and talked to him left and right, and Zhang Tingguang finally took the initiative to write a recital to ask for the guilty abdication to make way for Xian. And Zhao Xiaoxi also sent an eight-hundred-mile document and sent someone to the capital quickly. At the same time, nearly one million silver stolen money seized from Zhang's family was escorted to the capital by Zhao Xiaoxi's border army.

With this nearly one million taels of silver, I believe that my cousin, who is currently having a headache with money, should sell him a face. Anyway, I have all the face in this matter, and I also made a sum of money by taking it out. In addition, this Zhang Tingguang really only has one crime of negligence and improper employment, and it is somewhat wasteful to kill such a general who will be worthy of a great task in the future.

For this reason, Zhao Xiaoxi, who left Yanmen Pass, was surrounded by a middle-aged man dressed as a martial artist, and he was Zhang Tingguang, who stepped down from the command and moved all the Zhang family back to his hometown to farm. As for the temporary commander of Yanmen Pass, it was Yang Shipeng, who was entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Xiaoxi after comprehensive consideration.

It is believed that when the emperor receives the 800-mile expedited recital, a holy decree will soon be issued to turn it into a regular one. This also means that the now weak Yang family has another general who serves as a commander. As for Zhang Tingguang, who has stepped down from his post and made meritorious contributions, he is the candidate for the commander of Zhao Xiaoxi's plan to manage the training of the new army for him.

It is easy to make the best use of things, and it is easy for thousands of troops to get a general, and it also gives them time to travel around the rivers and lakes with confidence in the future. Zhao Xiaoxi felt that killing Zhang Tingguang was far from cost-effective to spare his life. This is also the reason why Cho Hyo-seok finally made this arrangement in the conference hall. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Xiaoxi thinks that Zhang Tingguang is a loyal and patriotic general, and it is too wasteful to kill him!
