In the Yahua Hall of the General Military Mansion, Zhang Wenwen from the clerical office of the General Military Mansion received Han Yihai and Ye Zhao.

Zhang Wenwen is about forty years old, with a chubby body, full of style, squinting and drinking tea, listening to Han Yihai speak for Wang Zizhong with ignorance.

When Han Yihai proposed to visit Wang Zizhong, Zhang Wenshu said lukewarmly: "Mr. Han, this case is to be handed over to the Court of Justice for trial, as a celebrity professor in the capital, you should know that even if you are a general soldier, you must not interfere with the criminal statement." ”

Han Yihaixin said that if I am a professor at Beijing University, I still need to rub my tongue with you? According to Ye Zhao's explanation when he came, he said: "My lord, although Wang Zizhong is only a lecturer in the academy, he is very knowledgeable, and he is very famous in the academic circle of the capital, and the academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences Jinchuan cares for him. Jin Chuan is the Chinese name of Sanchez, the imperial physicist and founder of electrical energy applications.

Han Yihai knows that now he can only bluff as Mr. Wen said to save Wang Zizhong's life. Although the death penalty in these border cities needs the final approval of the Dali Yuan, it is often not carried out temporarily due to various reasons. Because the case telegram is not clear, the case file must be transferred to Yanjing. Although Hucheng is connected to the train today, I don't know if its legal affairs court still has the discretion to dispose of it, if the case is hastily reported by telegram, then the ten ** will be approved by the Dali Yuan.

When Zhang Wenwen heard "Academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences", his eyelids jumped, and he glanced sideways at Han Yihai, "Celebrities in the capital, they should clean themselves up, and the chief soldier can't help him in this matter." ”

Han Yihai had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and when he left the General Soldier's Mansion, he sighed and said: "How is this good, he doesn't buy the name of Academician Jinchuan." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily." ”

As Ye Zhao said, on the second day, an officer from the Justice Yuan came to inform him that he could go to the temporary detention room of the Justice Yuan to visit Wang Zizhong.

Ye Zhao naturally went to the Justice Institute with Han Yihai, and in a dark cell, he met Wang Zizhong, who was handcuffed and handcuffed.

To Ye Zhao's surprise, although Wang Zizhong had a scruffy beard and a haggard face, he was obviously not punished, and when he saw Ye Zhao and Han Yihai, he sat in the hay in the corner of the cell in a daze, without saying a word.

Ye Zhao frowned and asked the jailer next to him: "Why do you need to be shackled?" ”

The jailer turned his head and replied dismissively.

Ye Zhao also knew that it was a miracle that Wang Zizhong was not beaten, and it was impossible to say that he should treat suspects well, especially in the border area.

Professor Wang...... Professor Wang, Shaopu! Shao Pu ......" Han Yihai shouted Wang Zizhong several times, but Wang Zizhong didn't seem to hear it.

Han Yihai was anxious and shouted: "Wang Zizhong, you speak!" What the hell is going on? I know how to help you! ”

Wang Zizhong was still silent.

The jailer rolled his eyes and said, "Three, it's time." ”

Han Yihai wanted to argue, Ye Zhao stretched his shirt and made a look, in fact, this time he came to see if Wang Zizhong was safe.

It's just that seeing Wang Zizhong's demeanor, could it be that he really seduced other people's concubines? If it is said that Yunyun is forced, Ye Zhao does not believe it.

When he returned to Gulshayir's courtyard, Ye Zhao sent a telegram to Jingshi, ordering the Ministry of Supervision to send an investigation team.

When encountering such a thing, Ye Zhaozi will not show his identity to solve it, otherwise he can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Not to mention that it is now on the territory of General Fan.

Ye Zhao and Gul Shayir quickly moved to the infantry regiment camp more than 20 miles east of the city for safety.

Ye Zhao's mood is very heavy, judicial reading ability, supervision reading ability, but in these immigrant cities, it is obviously difficult to do it, whether it is the Supervision Office or the Legal Affairs Yuan, it seems that they are all under the control of Fan Gengji.

According to common sense, in this era, the imperial supervision system is still perfect, and the supervision system is completely reading the local political axe, personnel and finance, all under the jurisdiction of the higher-level supervision agency, and the local political axe has nothing to do with it, even if it is the appointment of the head of the Ministry of Supervision, the prime minister of the government affairs yuan only has the right to nominate and needs to listen to the government, and the emperor finally decides, of course, this is only the form of legal provisions, to prepare for the future, the current actual situation, the ministers of the government affairs yuan, almost all of them are appointed by Ye Zhao.

Supervision courts at all levels need to obtain the approval of the local judicial affairs courts when enforcing the law, and this in turn restricts the power of the supervision system to make it act in accordance with the law.

Not to mention the Law Yuan at all levels, its highest body, the Dali Yuan, is one of the three central institutions of the empire on a par with the Government Affairs Yuan, and has nothing to do with the local political axe.

But all of this has encountered Waterloo under the local immigration city and military household system.

It's time to use a case to ring the alarm bell for the general soldiers everywhere, and Ye Zhao gradually made up his mind to investigate and deal with Fan Gengji.

And two days later, the news that Fan Zongbing's concubine committed suicide by throwing herself into a well made Ye Zhao know even more that this case was only afraid of something strange.

The infantry regiment stationed in Tianhu City is called the Second Infantry Regiment of the First Frontier Division of Hudong, and the so-called Hudong is a large area around Lake Balkhash, and preparations are now being made to establish a province.

The infantry regiment was stationed in the east of Tianhu City, and a large number of brick houses and detachable wooden houses were built, and Ye Zhao and Gul Shayir lived in the family area of the army.

Imperial officers and soldiers in the Western Regions, Tibetan Province, and other places, because of the extremely inconvenient transportation conditions, could not realize family leave, etc., and the family members of non-commissioned officers and above, that is, the families of professional soldiers, could join the army. As for the conscripts who serve, of course, there will be no such thing as accompanying the army.

For example, the families of non-commissioned officers and above of the border garrison in Tianhu City mostly live in Tianhu City, and the families of officers above the sentry officer (company) level can really allocate housing in the compound of the military region.

This is a rule in peacetime, and it is different in wartime.

Ye Zhao and Gul Shayir lived in the compound of the officers' families, all of which were rows of brick houses, Ye Zhao and Gul Shayir were arranged in a relatively small courtyard, but the commander of the infantry regiment only thought that it was arranged for Zheng Aqiao, the deputy head of the internal guard, he knew about the appeasement office, and thought that Zheng Aqiao had come to do an errand with a secret order from the capital, and he never imagined that the emperor had also arrived in Tianhu City.

It's not that Ye Zhao deliberately concealed it, the official is lowly and small, so there is really no need to say anything to him.

It wasn't until Lei Chong arrived at the Tianhu City military camp that Commander Du knew that the two emperors actually lived in the military camp, but they were really scared to sweat on their foreheads, and they followed Lei Chong to ask for their guilt, and on this day, it happened to be the concubine of General Fan.

The courtyard is quiet, but the donkey is screaming in the courtyard.

In the flower hall, Du Yinqiu Du commanded in a cold sweat, this donkey was bought by Du Commander out of his own pocket, I thought about slaughtering it and improving the food with his brothers after a few days, and it happened that the chief of staff of the regiment went to work, and he was temporarily deputed, and the courtyard of the chief of staff was vacated, so that the donkey was bolted in, but who knew that it was so noisy, and I didn't know if the emperor and his old man had a good rest in the past two days, but it was really heartbreaking.

Ye Zhaozheng talked to Lei Chong and asked him about the preparations for the appeasement office.

The Fourth Group Army of the Imperial Royal Army, which had been in the army for six years, had entered the Guanwai, while the First Army and a large number of supplies were being continuously transported from the railway line to Tianhu City, and the first batch of a reinforced brigade of more than 7,000 officers and soldiers had arrived in Dihua.

At the same time, Lei Chong will also integrate the border guards and cavalry in the Eastern Turks, and from then on, all border defense departments will be under the command of the Pacification Office.

Commander Du gradually calmed down, and his attention also shifted to the content of the conversation between the Great Emperor and Lei Chong, but he couldn't help but be even more frightened.

If it is just to exterminate the horse bandits, why bother so much, you must know that the three group armies of Xiangshan, the first and the second are all the old departments of Su Niangniang back then, and they are also the elite divisions in the imperial royal army.

Not to mention that in Xinjiang Province, there are two elite Lanzhou Group Army and Jinling Group Army, so the heavy troops in the northwest are gradually gathered, is it just to deal with a few horse thieves?

Just thinking about it, but seeing the emperor's gaze, Commander Du was shocked and sat down.

Regimental cadres, these military transfers do not need to avoid them.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble you these days, I wanted to go to the barracks for a walk, but I was stopped, yes, there is a way to govern the army." ”

Commander Du was immediately full of excitement, and wanted to kneel down with a thousand beats, but suddenly remembered the strict orders in the army, stood up with a snap, and said loudly: "My subordinates are panicked!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and made a downward gesture: "Sit down, I have to borrow it here for a few days." ”

"Yes!" Commander Du sat down straight.

Ye Zhao asked a few more questions about the situation of the horse bandits that Commander Du knew, and then he retreated.

Seeing Ye Zhaopincha frowning slightly, Lei Chong was slightly surprised and asked, "What is the emperor worried about?" ”

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "This Fan Gengji, it's really nerve-wracking...... "It will take a few days for the investigation team of the Ministry of Supervision to arrive in Tianhu City, and now there is a sudden news that Fan Gengji's concubine committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, if Wang Zizhong also died in prison in a daze, there will be no proof of death in this matter.

Lei Chong heard Zheng Aqiao briefly report about Fan Gengji, and frowned: "If not, my subordinates will arrest him!" ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't make sense. "Although Fan Gengji has the rank of major general of the empire, the chief military officer of the immigrant cities on the border of the empire is actually already a civilian official, subject to the supervision of the supervision system, but when the final conviction is made, it needs to be transferred to the military court for adjudication.

After pondering for a while, Ye Zhao said to Zheng Aqiao: "Give you an errand." ”

Zheng Aqiao had been standing at Ye Zhao's side with his hands down, and at this time he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave is here!" ”

Ye Zhao said: "You, bring the official document, give you the name of the special envoy of the Zongren Mansion, go to the city supervision office, and ask them to start investigating Wang Zizhong's case, and then ask Du Yinqiu to mobilize troops and horses to cooperate to prevent Fan Gengji from moving." ”

Zheng Aqiao took the order and left, Ye Zhao tasted the tea and fell into deep thought.

…… On the second night, an iron charcoal fire was set up in the small courtyard, and Ye Zhao invited Lei Chong, Commander Du and Commander Du's relatives to come to barbecue meat.

Commander Du didn't dare to reveal the whereabouts of the emperor, but only when he got this invitation did he dare to mention to his wife that the emperor lived in the barracks, and he told her not to leak secrets, otherwise it would be a crime to kill her head.

Commander Du's wife, Jia Shi, almost fainted with joy when she heard the news, and there are few people in the world who can admire the holy face, let alone have a meal with the Lord of Long Live.

It took almost an hour to dress up, and this pretty young woman was even more charming under her dress.

When he saw Ye Zhao and Gul Shayir in the courtyard, Jia hurriedly kowtowed and said goodbye.

In fact, according to imperial law, members of the imperial family, including the Great Emperor, were not required to kneel on one knee unless they were received in royal dress on a formal occasion.

The regulations in the army used the word "strictly forbidden", and some generals were punished, which made the kneeling salute between officers and subordinates at all levels have completely disappeared. Not to mention the informal occasion, it was Commander Du who kept the military order in mind, so he didn't make a big gift.

And the Jia family naturally ignored these provisions and respectfully paid respects to the emperor and the imperial concubine.

In fact, it is said that it is to invite Commander Du and Jia to eat barbecue, but it will not be a happy scene, although it is not so that Commander Du and Jia are standing and waiting for the emperor to reward them with barbecue, but the two of them are also sitting upright, not daring to say more and move more, and they don't even eat a few pieces of meat at all, so as not to chew out and lose etiquette.

It was Gul Shayir who chatted with Jia, but she didn't understand the number of respects and humility in the Central Plains, let alone the consciousness and reserve of the imperial concubine, and also roasted meat for Jia's to eat, Jia's was so frightened that she didn't even dare to say it, she had to send it to someone's mouth.

Ye Zhao just smiled secretly in his heart, and felt that his new concubine was very cute.

Jia Shi reluctantly bit a piece of meat that Gul Shayir sent to his mouth, and chewed it in a small bite, which was really a slow movement of peach cheeks and a light bite of his teeth, and Sven's was incomprehensible.

Gulshayir also smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?" I'll just say that my roast is delicious. She has no friends in the clan, and she is also lonely, and suddenly met a young woman from the Central Plains to flatter and flatter, although she knew that it was because of the identity of the lover, but she also liked to make a friend in the Central Plains.

Jia Shi hurriedly covered his mouth with his sleeve and whispered: "Xie Niangniang, the taste is really good." ”

Commander Du's head is a little big, it's like sitting on pins and needles.

After a while, Commander Du immediately got up to say goodbye, after all, as soon as he looked up, he saw the imperial concubine eating mutton skewers with relish, which was really rude.

Jia's family is reluctant to leave, this fairy-like princess has a rough surname, but she is very cute, no wonder the emperor likes it, it is rare for her to be so kind to herself, she must form a fate.

Commander Du knew his wife's thoughts, and if he could rely on him in the palace, it would be a great blessing, so he smiled and said, "You have to serve the imperial concubine well." "I bowed down and said goodbye.

Looking at Gul Shayir, who taught Jia's kebabs, Ye Zhao was secretly amused in his heart, and said in his heart that you scared people away without knowing it.

Tasting the wine, Ye Zhao didn't talk much, just listened to Lei Chong's whispered report on the military situation, in fact, in his heart, he was very envious of Gul Shayer's freedom, but his identity dictated that he had to put up a shelf on any occasion to create a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere.

Gulishayir roasted a skewer of beans, sent it to Ye Zhao to eat, and said, "Grandpa Emperor, make up for your body." ”

Ye Zhao almost squirted out a sip of wine, although he knew that Gul Shayir didn't mean this, but how could it sound weird?

Fortunately, Lei rushed to the other side to get the skewer meat, but he didn't hear it, but Jia's face was flushed, but his big watery eyes secretly glanced at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao reluctantly corrected: "Long live the Lord and the emperor's grandfather have different meanings, although vegetables contain a lot of vitamins, but the human body needs them normally, not to mention tonic, and it is not a thousand-year-old ginseng." ”

Gu Xia Yier nodded as if she didn't understand, in fact, she didn't like to listen to Ye Zhao talk about any scientific knowledge, so she quickly turned her head and chatted with Jia's family, so as not to listen to Ye Zhao and teach her a lesson like a child.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Zheng Aqiao hurriedly entered, came to Ye Zhao's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the slave has just given an order in the Supervision Bureau, and Fan Gengji knows about it." The servants had also bailed Professor Wang out according to the emperor's orders and handed him over to the soldiers under the command of Du. ”

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, and said, "Sit down, eat barbecue." ”

Tasting the wine, Ye Zhao said: "If he knows, he will know it, and if he didn't do it immediately, he also remembered his merits over the years and gave him a way out." "Judging from the intelligence collected from the intelligence station in the past few days, Fan Gengji's cool officials are true, even if there is no Wang Zizhong's case, according to the implemented crimes, he can already take off his black veil, if any murder and false report of banditry are also confirmed, then the death penalty will not escape.

Zheng Aqiao said: "Yes, I hope he will be grateful for God's grace, realize his mistakes, and confess his guilt." He added: "It's a pity that the slave is stupid, and he can't find out the details of his concubine for a while, but I heard that this Wang family abides by women's morals and has nothing to do." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly.

Zheng Aqiao's words were heard by Jia Shi, her red lips moved, she wanted to speak again, hesitated, and finally lowered her head to brush the spicy sauce on the meat skewers, and now she and Gul Shayir have cooperated very well.

Ye Zhaozi didn't stare at his subordinates' wives and concubines, because he didn't pay attention to her expression, although Gu Lixiayier's surname was sparse, but he was very smart, and when he saw this, he said: "Sister, do you know anything?" ”

began to be called sister by the imperial concubine, but the three souls of Jia's town were lifted to heaven, but Gul Shayir didn't care about this, let her excuse herself or shout her sister's sister, every time she was called sister, the small bones of Jia's whole body were a little crispy.

Ye Zhao looked at Jia Shi and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Jia Shi lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, is it true that Lord Banzai is talking about the concubine of the Fan General Soldier of Tianhu City?" If it's her, the concubine knows some. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Ye Zhao's eyes were blazing, and Jia didn't dare to raise his head.

"She originally had a husband, the couple were from Guizhou, but on the way her husband died of illness, and after arriving in Tianhu City, she married Fan Zongbing as a concubine, ranking fifth, and Fan Zongbing ......" stopped when he said this.

Zheng Aqiao said: "Mrs. Du, what do you know, just say, Fan Gengji's matter, Long Live Lord knows it in his heart." ”

"Yes, yes." Jia's head hung lower, and his face was even redder, although he had also participated in some banquets now, he was still shy to talk to strange men after all, not to mention that there was a holy lord on the opposite side who made people's hearts pound just by glimpsing his dragon qi. She whispered: "Once Mr. Fan invited my husband to a banquet, I met Mrs. Five, Mrs. Wu secretly told me, asked me to help her leave Mr. Fan, saying that she hated Mr. Fan to death, and her father-in-law was also killed by Mr. Fan, and always talked a lot of nonsense. But now, the concubine looked back and thought about it, the ...... of the fifth lady's death was getting lower and lower, and the back was as thin as a mosquito.

But the general meaning Ye Zhao naturally understood, frowning slightly, if this matter is serious, there is even a heinous crime of killing the parents and occupying the women of the good family?

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao said: "You don't have to wait, you go and dismiss Fan Gengji now, the case will be investigated by the inspectors, I want to see what reputation can be found." ”

Zheng Aqiao hurriedly received the order and hurried away.

Jia's heart skipped a beat, and he sat here, unconsciously as if he was superior to others. Chief Soldier, I used to dream that my husband would be among them before his retirement, so that he could also get the royal decree and glorify the lintel. But in the eyes of the Long Live Lord, what is the difference between it and the grass people's ants?

Seeing that it was getting late, although Jia Shi was a little reluctant, he still got up to say goodbye, and Gul Shayir sent her out of the hospital, and told her to come and talk to him more, and Jia Shi agreed happily.

…… A few days later, when the investigation team of the Ministry of Supervision from the capital officially took over the investigation of the cases of Fan Gengji and Wang Zizhong, who had been placed under house arrest, the Royal Military Commission of the Beijing Division and the Government Council jointly issued a joint order to abolish the post of chief soldier in the cities where the immigrants had been emigrated, and set up administrative officers who would be placed under the ministers and prime ministers of various regions, and the military household system would remain unchanged.

In fact, the commander-in-chief of the military officers was cut off from the military ranks, and without this amulet, the color of the emperor would be much less, of course, the cities of immigrants on the sides have their special surnames, and relatively speaking, the concentration of power of government officials is inevitable.

Wang Zizhong was under house arrest, Ye Zhao didn't go to see him, Han Yihai and Zhang Jinchang left Tianhu City by train, Ye Zhao asked them to bring their research results, and said a few days before returning, Han Yihai didn't have a problem with him, a visiting professor, and sighed even more when he left. This time he came to Tianhu City, Wang Zizhong was involved in a very heavy lawsuit, and he naturally "had no way to lead the team", and he was afraid that he would be blamed by the school when he went back. Now the school has also sent representatives to understand and coordinate Wang Zizhong's case, and sent a telegram ordering Han Yihai to return quickly. Even if Han Yihai stayed, he was really helpless except sighing.

Ye Zhao naturally won't go, now that Hucheng has almost become his forward headquarters, he doesn't have to bother with Fan Gengji's case, he just studies the map of the northern region of China and Russia.

The sand tables around Orenburg, Novosibirsk, and other strategic cities of Tsarist Russia also entered the military observation room of the Pacification Office in great secrecy.

Maps of various regions of Russia have also been hung, but the accuracy and scale are not satisfactory, and even many maps are copied from the official Russian map.

If there were no other sources of information, or the opening of the railway, these maps were also false.

Fighting in a foreign country, which is completely different from a domestic war, is a huge test for Ye Zhao, after all, the overall strategy must be formulated by him, and if the general strategic direction is wrong, it is often a wrong step, and the so-called full plate is the case.

Where should the breakthrough in this war be chosen?

Ye Zhao was thinking about this question every time.

(To be continued)
