Under Zhang Huangyan's arrangement, a group of people came to the Xiangshan camp, and Wang Yongji and other marquis of the Seventh Army had already made arrangements.

The convoy is dressed in red and green, gongs and drums are noisy, I don't know if I think this is a huge team to welcome relatives, the team holds a few flags, which are written on some 'loyalty and righteousness', 'Ming Loyal Soul' and so on.

The soldiers of Xiangshan lined up and stopped the people who came to ****.

"Stop, stop, all stop, the military camp is heavy, don't trespass, retreat" spoke from a thousand household officials under Wang Yongji.

Several wealthy businessmen who walked in front of the team hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Jun, the brothers of the Nanjing garrison camp have returned from Yangzhou City in blood, and have repelled strong enemies.

The thousand households waved their hands and said, "Thank you, but you don't need it, please go back, the affairs in the army are properly arranged by the generals, and there are many secrets in the army, there are so many of you, there are many people, in case the military information is leaked, I can't afford to bear it, go back, go back"

A wealthy businessman said, "The military master is too careful, we are all good people in the city, just for the ****, there is nothing else to think, I have heard the military prestige of the champion army for a long time, and I just took this opportunity to pay tribute to the great military appearance of the champion army, and I can't delay the military affairs of the military master."

"Hey, if you can't enter, you can't enter, how can the people enter the barracks if they want to, and if you don't go back, don't blame me for being polite, retreat"

All the soldiers showed their weapons, their spears were drawn out, they pulled down the frame, made a charging posture, and shouted in unison, "Retreat!" ”

When the people saw it, they panicked, what is going on, Lao Gejun can still be regarded as a spy, and he can't be driven away if he wants to.

"Master Jun. I'm waiting for a wave of enthusiasm to come, aren't you afraid of hurting the people's hearts to support the army by doing this? ”

The thousand households guide the direction of the capital, "What so much nonsense, where to go back and forth, don't force us to do it, ****." Lao Tzu is also an army, why don't you come to work for my brothers, brothers, drive them away"

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately raised their guns and marched forward, pressing forward step by step, shouting loudly, "Retreat!" Withdraw! Retire"

Immediately. The people are in a mess, how can they still be driven away by someone after working for an army, and they can't send wine and meat this year.

"Slow, who gave you the guts"

A person flashed out of the crowd, a big red one-grade court dress, and a crane dancing on his chest, he was Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he didn't plan to come. It's just that after listening to Song Dali talk about the hardships in the army, he couldn't bear it. I didn't expect the imperial court to treat meritorious soldiers like this.

Although the thousand households didn't know Zhang Huangyan, he knew this official uniform, and hurriedly said, "The last general will see the lord of the ministry, I don't know which heavenly official is coming to Xiangshan, so the little one will go and invite a few military marquis to come to greet the lord."

Zhang Huangyan stepped forward. With his hands behind his back, "Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, what are you doing here, can the army of the Ming Dynasty do something to the people?" Don't get out of the way yet."

When Qianhu heard that it was the heavenly official of the Ministry of War, he quickly knelt down. This is the top constitution, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under the control of the military department.

"I don't know if Zhang Shangshu has arrived, atoning for his sins, the last general will go and invite a few military marquis to come, and the adults will wait for a while."

Zhang Huang said, "No, the headquarters does not look for them, and there is no military affairs, but I just saw the people coming to ****, I have not seen such a mutual respect between the military and the people for a long time, and I have come to take a look, but I don't want you to stop it, what is the reason, what is wrong with the people?" ”

Qianhu got up and said, "Lord Hui, there are a lot of secrets in the army, and the last general was ordered to stop it here, because he was afraid that there would be tartary or thieves and spies mixed in, and he didn't mean to embarrass the people, please forgive me."

Zhang Huangyan couldn't deny it, so he said, "Well, the people won't go in, so let's send things in by the officials and the people from the military department, and then select a few virtuous people to go to the city to condole, they come enthusiastically from afar, and they can't chill the hearts of the people."

"This, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, my lord, otherwise, the things will be sent in by our brothers, and I won't let the adults run and lie down in person, and the little promise will definitely send the things to the brothers in the garrison camp, and convey the feelings of the people."

Zhang Huangyan didn't believe them, "The main hall is here, what do you mean?" A little thousand-household official, dare to block my way, who gave you the guts, get out of the way! ”

As soon as the people saw the military department Shangshu spoke, they immediately became angry, many of the people who came here are the leading figures in the city, they do not participate in the internal affairs of the imperial court, they only want the Nanjing wife to be peaceful and keep their property, these days, who is defending the country, who is not doing the right thing, the big guys also have this account in their hearts.

When the soldiers saw that there were high-ranking officials of the military department, they did not dare to rush forward, and everyone looked at each other with their guns in their hands.

A thousand households didn't dare to do anything about the military department, and they couldn't stop it, so they could only say, "Don't be angry, the last general will let me, just according to the words of the adult, please, please"

"Go and inform the military marquis," Qianhu turned his head and ordered in a low voice.

Zhang Huangyan led several representatives of the people, and the soldiers of the military department drove the cart full of food into the barracks.

The car had just gone not far when I saw Wang Yongji and other military marquis appear in front.

Wang Yongji walked over first and arched his hand, "I don't know if the lord of the ministry has arrived, and he has lost his welcome and atoned for his sins, I don't know where the lord is going?" ”

Zhang Huang said, "At the invitation of the people, come to ****"

Wang Yongji said, "Lord of the Troubled Ministry, it's just that I haven't received an official document from the imperial court for this matter?"

Zhang Huang said, "The people are spontaneously organized, and there are no official documents of the imperial court"

Wang Yongji knew that he couldn't stop him, "That is the case, then how can these little things be done by the Minister of Labor, if the Lord can be trusted, the general will be willing to work for him, come to someone, help the Lord of the Ministry to send things to the garrison camp, and convey the kindness of the Lord of the Ministry and the people."

"No, entrusted by the people, how can I fake my hands and people, please ask a few military marquis to get out of the way, and I will personally send it over"

Wang Yongji arched his hand and said, "Master Zhang, you are an official of the military department, and because you know the taboos in the army, I am afraid that it is inappropriate to do this."

Zhang Huang said, "Could it be that the military marquis wants to say that I am here to spy on the military situation for some reason?" Is it a spies full of people? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare"

"In this case, what is the purpose of your repeated obstruction, what is wrong with the **** of the people, is it possible that there is some unsightly secret in your army, if this is the case, I am the secretary of the military department. Then you should go to this army even more."

The military department not only has the power to transfer troops, but also has the power to inspect the army and observe the lives of soldiers. Except for leading troops to fight.

"What does Lord Zhang say, we welcome adults to come to review at any time, but this garrison camp is not under our control, if Lord Zhang invites the people ****, did you ask Admiral Ma first, if he agrees, he will personally accompany the adults to go with him"

Wang Yongji knew that he had no power to stop him, and he had no excuse, this was a difficult way to get along with the people. couldn't do it, so he carried out Ma Ming, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, if you see something for a while, it has nothing to do with us, if you want to blame Ma Ming.

Zhang Huang said, "What does he disagree with, the **** has made a mistake, and the front leads the way." I'll do whatever I want."

"Yes, please. Come on, clear the way for the minister."

After a short walk, the car came to the outside of the barracks of the champion army, and several main generals in the battalion were also notified in advance, and at this time the whole team was waiting in the camp.

Under the autumn wind, 10,000 soldiers were dressed in tattered single clothes. All of them are yellow and thin, Zhang Huangyan can't believe his eyes, this, this is the champion army that withdrew from Yangzhou? How did it come to this, it stinks. The clothes are not wrapped, and there are many people with injuries, why no one reported to the military department, how can the court treat them like this.

Zhang Huangyan suddenly understood that Wang Lanping asked him to personally bring the people to ****, just to let him see with his own eyes and see these poor and unfair Ming soldiers.

"See Lord Ministry" Song Xian and the others stood at the front and knelt down together.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you, hey, this official is guilty, everyone has been wronged, come, hurry up" Zhang Huangyan's nose was sour.

"Wang Yongji, do you know about this?" Zhang Huangyan shouted.

"I know, but the garrison camp is not under our jurisdiction, if the lord of the ministry has any questions, please ask Ma Ming, Ma Dushuai, these are all his soldiers, and I have nothing to do."

Song Dali is angry, damn, you have been watching us as prisoners for so long, you are still here talking nonsense with your eyes open, he was about to speak, but was stopped by Song Xian.

"Of course I want to ask him, this is an abuse of the soldiers, this is a disgrace to the emperor, not only the official is despised, but the people of the world are also despised, come and unload the things on the car, let the brothers have a full meal, Ma Ming, the official wants to join you"

Several representatives of the common people also felt a faint pain in their hearts, how could they have thought that the famous champion army would live such a life, and they were even inferior to prisoners.

Of course, Wang Yongji would not be stupid enough to go against the military department, otherwise it would be difficult to get this military salary in the future, and he didn't want to be a shield for Ma Shiying, the garrison camp was Ma Ming's soldiers, and it had nothing to do with them, so he couldn't offend anyone.

Zhang Huangyan inspected the camp of the champion army, and the more he looked at it, the more sad he became, this is where people live, and he immediately brushed his sleeves away.

The people also left one after another, but the unfair treatment of the champion army also began to spread throughout the city, and everyone was scolding Ma Ming for abusing the soldiers, scolding him for being in collusion with the first assistant Ma Shiying, and he must have deducted the soldiers' salaries and filled their own pockets.

All this was arranged by Wang Lanping, and it was also to find a reasonable excuse for the champion army to rebel in the future and win the support of the people in the city.

On the same day, when Zhang Huangyan returned to the military headquarters, he wrote an excerpt, counting everything he saw and heard in the army, and reported it to the imperial court, and mixed his words with the impeachment of Ma Ming, the commander of the Nanjing garrison.

After Zhang Huangyan delivered the excerpt to the inner court, he did not wait for the emperor to receive him, so he came to Dingnan Marquis to find Wang Lanping, but he heard that Dingnan Marquis was really in Yingtianfu, so he transferred to Yingtianfu again.

**

There was silence in the lobby of Yingtianfu.

Wang Lanping walked out from behind the servant, helped Fang Ling up from the ground, and emphasized again, "Yes, that's right, she is pregnant, and this board can't be played."

Zhu Zhikui didn't expect that, according to the regulations, this really can't be beaten, and if she wants to be beaten, she has to wait until she gives birth to make up for it.

Zhu Zhikui was puzzled, "Dingnanhou, as far as this official knows, this woman is still in the pavilion, and she has no marriage match, how can she get pregnant?"

Wang Lanping smiled, "What, you don't believe what I say?" ”

Zhu Zhisi stood up and arched his hand, "Hou Ye is serious, it's not that he doesn't believe it, if this is the case, this woman is unmarried and pregnant, which is against morality, if the official judges her immorality, please don't blame Hou Ye."

Wang Lanping said, "What? Is the prefect trying to condemn me? Tell you about the baby in her womb, mine, mine"

Wang Lanping touched Fang Ling's belly, Fang Ling's cheeks were rosy, and he was so ashamed that he was about to die, what's the matter, Master Hou, you haven't touched me at all, okay, where did you get pregnant.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the hall, and Fang Ling was even more ashamed, and he pulled Wang Lanping's clothes and whispered, "General, you, why do you say that?"

Wang Lanping smiled at her, "It's okay, I'll explain to you later"

Coming to the lobby of Yingtianfu today, Wang Lanping just wanted to make a storm in the city, and this was also to attract everyone's attention.

Zhu Zhikui was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "Oh, oh, then the lower official congratulates the Hou Ye, but the lower official heard that this woman has only been in the Hou Mansion for half a month, this ......" The second half of the sentence He wanted to say, you are so fast.

Wang Lanping said, "This is a private matter in my house, and it has nothing to do with the case, Lord Prefect, can I try the case?" ”

Zhu Zhikui nodded, "Okay, plaintiff Fang Ling, this official asks you, do you have any evidence for the three major crimes you sued in your complaint?" ”

Wang Lanping waved his hand, "Slow, slow, Master Zhu, you are the defendant in this case, should you also avoid suspicion, Tuiguan, Wu Tuiguan, do you say that the law should be like this?" ”

Wu Tuiguan glanced at Zhu Zhikui, "According to the law, it should be like this"

"Okay, Master Zhu, I will wronged you."

Zhu Zhikui said with a smile, "Master Hou, this is Ying Tianfu, and the lower officials are the main hall, if I don't try it, then who should try it?" ”

Wang Lanping looked around at everyone, his eyes fell on Wu Tuiguan, and he pointed and said, "You, Wu Tuiguan, you will try this case."

Wu Tuiguan hurriedly said, "No, no, the lower official is just a pusher, how can he try the prefect, according to the law, if the prefect is involved in the case, it must be tried by the Inspectorate and the Criminal Department."

The Inspectorate supervises hundreds of officials, and the Criminal Department is in charge of the criminal law of the world, and Wu Tuiguan is right.

"Okay, then bother Zhu Zhifu to transfer the case to the Inspectorate" Wang Lanping said and picked up Fang Ling and was about to leave, he came here to make a false shot, just to attract the attention of others, as for suing Zhu Zhikui for the three major crimes, it is a matter of no shadow at all, and now I want the Inspectorate and the Criminal Department to also pull it out, the purpose is of course to make these things as big as possible, there is no other meaning, just one, it is intended to tell the officials and people of the city that Dingnanhou is busy with a lawsuit against her woman, and has no time to rebel, if the champion army outside does something rebellious, But it has nothing to do with Dingnanhou, I'm busy.

Wang Lanping looked at Zhu Zhikui's stunned appearance, hugged the shy and embarrassed Fang Ling in his arms, and walked out of the main hall generously.

The people at the door bowed their hands again and again, "Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou"

At this time, Zhang Huangyan came in a hurry, saw Wang Lanping walking out, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, it's not good, come, take a step to speak"

The two took a few steps to the side, and Zhang Huangyan said hurriedly, "Master Hou, you don't know yet, there is something big going on over there in the garrison camp."

Wang Lanping said, "Oh, is it? However, Zhang Shangshu, you don't have anything to do with me, you should go to Admiral Ma, he is now the Admiral of the garrison battalion, in this way, I'm still busy, say goodbye"

Zhang Huangyan was stunned, what's going on? Haven't you always cared about these soldiers? (To be continued.) )
