Chapter 242: The Yamen of the Yulin Army
Wei Qiao looked at Niu Yilang's back and couldn't help but shake his head, this guy is so capable of pretending that he almost deceived him. But then he imagined what Zheng Qiu's expression would be after seeing Niu Yilang's paperwork, which must have been quite interesting.
Wei Qiao smiled a little gloatingly, turned back and prepared to work, but then suddenly thought of the matter of Yulin Army.
Wei Qiao has been deliberately delaying not taking office, just to see how Yulin Jun will react. But it's been two days since his appointment was issued, and there hasn't been any movement!
Either Yulin Jun was a soldier and didn't understand the officialdom, or he didn't reassure him at all, deliberately didn't come to visit, and even urged him to take office.
General Yulin has been vacant, and now the two or so captains in charge of the Yulin Army should be the governor, and as far as he knows, the one nominated by Fu Mingzheng has been on leave because of 'illness' and is now doing the work of a foreigner in the military department. Then it stands to reason that he should be the leader, but he didn't go to office for two days and didn't move at all, as if there was nothing like that!
Wei Qiao stood under the eaves and looked at the Yulin Army Yamen, his eyes flashed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Someone." Wei Qiao suddenly shouted out the door.
"Uncle." Almost instantly, a sturdy man strode over from outside the gate.
This person is called Wen Pang, one of the personal guards of the warriors, once led a team of fifty people in the Xiongnu grassland, and only five people survived in the end, but where they passed, there was no grass!
This is when Wei Qiao roughly explained to Wu Qingning last night, he said that the King of Jin used the dead soldiers to deal with him, and as a result, the next day, twenty even more chilling guards came to the Horse Mansion, ten of them followed Wei Qiao inch, and Wen Pang was their team leader.
Wei Qiao is always not used to facing Wen Pang, feeling that he is too angry, which makes people feel very depressed and uncomfortable. However, Wei Qiao still has this concentration, and nodded indifferently and said, "Call Sima Shengchang, Nan Tao, and Xu Mao, and in addition, transfer twenty guards from the mansion to come over, and I will use them immediately." ”
"Yes!" Wen Pang didn't ask why, immediately agreed, turned around and disappeared outside the door.
Wei Qiao thought about it again, then got up and went to the main book to hang up the leave, and then walked out of the gate of the Yushitai.
Those who should be tempted have already been tempted, and now it is time to do it.
When Wei Qiao walked out of the gate of the Yushitai, whether it was Sima Shengchang in the Yuma Mansion, Nan Tao who was already in the Yulin Army, or Xu Mao, who had been in the Yushitai, had already come to the door, and there were also two rows of guards standing behind the other people, and they looked like they had just come from the Yuma Mansion.
Wei Qiao looked at the three of them, looked at them carefully, smiled when the three of them looked a little inexplicable, and said, "I have something good for you today, come with me." ”
As he spoke, Wei Qiao greeted Xiu'er, who had big eyes and a shiny look, and walked towards the sedan chair.
Xu Mao blinked his eyes and followed behind Wei Qiao's sedan chair with a simple face.
Nan Tao and Sima Shengchang looked puzzled, but when the two looked at each other, they couldn't hide their hostility. As one of the three generals, disputes are inevitable, and this has also been brought to their respective juniors.
However, Sima Shengchang is not like his grandfather who is a Confucian general, but more like a fierce general, with a bold surname and an atmospheric personality. He glanced at Nan Tao and hurriedly ran forward, ran to the side of Weiqiao's sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain and said in a low voice, "Liyuan, what's a good thing?" ”
The two also got along for a while, they were both the same age, and Wei Qiao naturally couldn't take out the shelf of the elders, so he 'made his own friends', but he also got along very happily.
Wei Qiao turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Give you a promotion." ”
Promotion? Sima Shengchang pursed his lips, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, he is Wei Qiao's personal guard in the name, and the personal guard is promoted? What does it rise to?
Wei Qiao smiled and didn't explain, but Nan Tao, who was on the side of the sedan chair, suddenly changed his face slightly, his eyes flickered, and he frowned as if he was worried about something.
It was Xu Mao, who looked heartless and lungless, and followed Weiqiao's sedan chair with a smile on his face, swaggering with his head held high. He was originally a gangster, but later he was kicked out because he ate too much, and later followed Wei Qiao, and now the gangster has turned into a court official, and he doesn't think it's fake. So every time he walked by the sedan chair in Weiqiao, he couldn't help but raise his head and chest, and he couldn't hide a smug smile on his honest face, wishing that everyone who passed by could see his smiling face.
Wei Qiao naturally couldn't see the smiles of the three of them, and he was thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the Yulin Army. Obviously, the few people in charge now do not take him seriously, and if he wants to regain power, he will inevitably have to use thunderbolt means, he has no experience in the army, but he needs to act carefully.
"Uncle, the Yulin Army Yamen has arrived." It didn't take long for the sedan chair to stop, and Xiu'er shouted crisply in front of the sedan chair.
Wei Qiao suppressed all kinds of thoughts, tidied up his clothes, stepped out of the sedan chair with a calm expression, looked sideways at the huge plaque above his head: 'Yulin Army Yamen', smiled at the corner of his mouth, and took a secret breath.
Wei Qiao's own guards were twenty people, and later twenty came, plus Xu Mao, Sima Shengchang and others were more than forty people at once, except for Wei Qiao, who was a weak scholar with a white face and Xiu'er's innocent and lovely face, everyone else had a 'vicious look'. This startled the guards guarding the gate of the Yulin Army's yamen, and hurriedly rushed inside to report. Although the others did not raise their guns and knives, their faces were extremely guarded.
Wei Qiao walked out of the sedan chair, looked at several guards and smiled faintly, and waved his hand at Xu Mao.
Xu Mao hurriedly took out the documents and tokens from his arms and handed them to several people.
As soon as a few people saw it, their faces immediately changed, and one of the guards who looked like a squad leader hurriedly walked over to Wei Qiao, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "The last general has seen Lord Duwei, and the last general doesn't know the adult, please forgive me." ”
Wei Qiao nodded lightly and said, "Well, immediately inform the five lieutenants, whether it is patrolling or otherwise, be sure to come back within half an hour, this official has something to announce, and those who are late will bear the consequences!" ”
The squad leader's heart jumped when he heard this, although the captain's words were plain, he was obviously hiding a murderous intention. He hurriedly agreed, and immediately turned around and waved to a few people to arrange, and soon, the five guards strode out.
Wei Qiao nodded at him, and walked towards the Yulin Army Yamen.
The Yamen of the Yulin Army is just the office of the general and the left and right lieutenants to protect the army, and the other five lieutenants have their own stations, which are distributed in the five directions of Jinling's east, west, north, south, and center.
Wei Qiao sat on the main seat, brought the roster, and looked at it carefully.
The five lieutenants, one named Zheng Tan, is the direct descendant of the Zheng family, the nephew of the current head of the Zheng family, and he has to call the queen an aunt. This person is in charge of the central part of Jinling, has the greatest temper, and has the highest 'prestige', and the other four people can't fight against him at all.
Lu Li in the east, Songming in the west, Tang River in the south, and Yuan Ran in the north, these people Wei Qiao have a general understanding, Lu Li, Yuan Ran and Zheng Tan are the closest, with the help of these two people, Zheng Tan is like a captain in the Yulin Army, and there is nothing to do about it.
Wei Qiao looked at it carefully, but he didn't pay too much attention to Wei Qiao, the team leader below, just looked at it roughly and remembered the name.
"My lord, Songming, Tang River has arrived." It didn't take long for the guards outside to come in and report.
Wei Qiao put down the roster and nodded, "Well, please let them in." ”
"The last general, Songming/Tang He, has seen Lord Duwei." The two of them came in and immediately clasped their fists and bowed down and said to Wei Qiao.
Although Wei Qiao is a lieutenant protector, he is not a general. Wei Qiao looked at the two of them with a faint expression, both of them looked calm and couldn't see any expression.
Wei Qiao nodded secretly, looked at the two of them and said, "Has anything happened in your jurisdiction recently?" ”
The two of them thought that the new Commander would give them a dismissal, but they didn't expect to ask about the situation in the jurisdiction without seriousness. The two quietly glanced at each other, and Tang He clasped his fists and said, "Lord Hui, except for the increasing number of refugees, everything else is normal." ”
Refugee? Wei Qiao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, he remembered that not long ago, the imperial court had just allocated disaster relief money.
Wei Qiao was puzzled, so he asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
Song Ming Tang He was even more puzzled in his heart, and still hugged his fists and said: "Most of them are from the west, and some are from the north and south. ”
Not surprisingly, almost everyone in the north knew that the Xiongnu were coming back, and many of them fled. In the south, because the king of Jin was imprisoned, the south was not calm and there were refugees normal. But didn't the west just set aside three million taels? This silver is the last deposit of the household, and it will not be allocated if it is not for the approaching age of next year.
Can't wait for a few days? Wei Qiao's eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at the two of them and said, "Do you know if there is anything behind?" ”
The captain of the Yulin Army didn't ask about the government affairs of the city and asked about the victims, especially when he had just taken office, who felt confused. Fortunately, the two people below were prepared and had a clear conscience, but they were not in a hurry, and hugged their fists and said: "Yes, the last general has sent someone to investigate, and it stretches for nearly a hundred miles." ”
Stretching for nearly 100 miles? Wei Qiao's brows immediately furrowed. Don't these refugees know that there is money to be put down, why are they all rushing to the capital?
But when it was not the time to care about this, Wei Qiao nodded at the two of them, and then looked at the head of the Yulin Army Yamen who was standing on the side trembling and said, "When is Zheng Tan coming?" "Zheng Tan is not here, and the affairs of the Yulin Army Yamen are generally handled by this director.
Cold sweat broke out on the head of this principal, he was not Zheng Tan, and in the face of Wei Qiao's powerful background, his heart was furious.
The principal wiped his sweat and said again and again: "It's almost there." In fact, he didn't find Zheng Tan at all.
Wei Qiao glanced at him again, then turned to Nan Tao and said, "Nan Tao, what is your position in the Yulin Army?" ”
When Nan Tao heard this, his eyes flashed with anger, one of his good generals was actually brought by Wei Qiao to the Yulin Army to 'do chores', and he was embarrassed to ask!
