Although Lu Xiangsheng was mentioning his life to Pang Gang'er, he also saw that Pang Gang was immersed in the joy of promotion at this time, and he didn't take his words to heart at all, so he had to shake his head helplessly and follow him.

Lu Xiangsheng was about to get up and go back to the barracks, but after taking two steps, he suddenly said to Pang Gang: "Chaodong, you are newly promoted to a general, and you still need to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to check the military registration, and then exchange the new military registration to complete the merit. ”

Before Pang Gang could answer, Liu Zeqing on the side said with a smile: "Supervisor, how can we not have a good drink and a glass of wine before leaving, you can rest assured, let's go back after a drink at noon, and we will not delay your big event." ”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but point at Liu Zeqing with some ridicule and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Liu Zeqing, a dignified chief military officer is such a scoundrel, okay, you can move on your own after accompanying Pang Gang to the military department, but remember to return to the barracks before tonight, don't make mistakes." ”

"Yes, obey Inspector Lu's orders!"

Everyone saluted together, and after sending off Lu Xiangsheng and several of his entourage, Liu Zeqing smiled at Pang Gang and smiled: "Brother Pang, let's go to the military department to do the work, and then let's go to Cuiyan Lane together." ”

After Pang Gang came out of the palace, he felt that Lu Xiangsheng and the generals had a significant difference in their attitude towards themselves, although their attitude towards themselves was acceptable before, but a reserve hidden in their bones could still be faintly visible, this has nothing to do with anything else but the gap in official position and status, after all, the difference between a small five-grade thousand households and the second-grade general soldiers guarding one side is really more than a star and a half, and the generals will not really put down their bodies to mingle with Pang Gang, a small thousand households. But now, when Pang Gang was also promoted to the general of the Sanzhou Defense, everything was different, although there was still a gap between the status of a staff general who held real power and had an elite army in his hands, and the status of these chief military officers, it was not as bad as before.

It is now that Pang Gang sees Liu Zeqing's disrespectful appearance and Li Chongzhen, Ma Rulong and others showing a man's smile that he understands, and even Zu Dashou, a person who is usually not smiling, has also looked into the distance with a beard at this time, Pang Gang can't help but cry and laugh, these people were majestic on the battlefield yesterday, but now when they mention going to the Qinglou, they completely change the appearance of a ruffian, it seems that this kind of place is liked by a man.

Pang Gang naturally wouldn't dismiss everyone's kindness, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, after the last general goes to the military department to change his military status, he will go with you to get drunk and rest." ”

In Chongzhen's commendation this time, because most of the people are either deputy generals, generals, or general soldiers, Chongzhen's rewards for them are mostly raised in the money brocade and false titles, and they are not as exaggerated as Pang Gang who has been promoted to four levels in a row, and there is no need to go to the military department to change their military status, only Pang Gang, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and several other officers who have been promoted to deputy thousand households have to go to the military department to go through the procedures, so the rest of the generals are waiting outside the yamen of the military department.

The door of the Yamen, which claims to be in charge of millions of Ming troops in the world, looks very majestic indeed, and the pair of stone lions at the door are sturdy, with a big head and a wide face, and fashionable hair on the neck, and the posture is very majestic, majestic and domineering. However, when Pang Gang led Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and other hundreds of households in, he was stopped by the doorman who guarded the door and asked to check the military registration.

When Pang Gang and the others took out the military registration survey, the doorman checked over and over, but always did not let Pang Gang and them in, at first Wang Zhi and Da Zhuang didn't know what was going on, but when Pang Gang stuffed a piece of loose silver into the doorman's hand, the doorman showed a satisfied face and put them in.

The Ming Dynasty's military department yamen is equivalent to the Ministry of Defense of later generations, in addition to the military department of Shangshu, left and right squires each one, but also has a military selection of the Qing Officials Division, the staff of the Qing Officials Division, the car driving Qing Officials Division, the Arsenal Qing Officials Division and other sub-divisions, of which the Wu Xuan Qing Officials Division is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of the Ming officers, the promotion of grades, personnel transfers, assessment and awarding of honors and other job transfers, known as the military department in the small officials, the power is great.

When Pang Gang came to the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division, he saw several low-level generals respectfully saluting a foreigner, they not only knelt down and kowtowed, but also openly took out a letter of silver and respectfully handed it to the outsider, and the outsider also accepted it as if nothing happened. Seeing such a situation, Pang Gang's brows not only furrowed, but he also knew that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very low, so it was inevitable to have some filial piety, but it was too much to openly accept bribes in the office like this, but although Pang Gang was not used to it, he didn't want to interfere, after all, there were some things he couldn't do.

Pang Gang and several people walked in line behind, and when it was Pang Gang's turn, Pang Gang arched his hand towards the outsider, and then learned from the military attachés just now, and took out the military registration survey, promotion document and a letter of silver from his arms and handed it to the outsider.

Who knew that the member wailang did not take the military registration survey in Pang Gang's hand, but was furious at Pang Gang, only to see that the staff wailang pointed his fingers to Pang Gang's nose and shouted: "You are a little five-grade martial artist, why don't you kneel when you see this official." ”

Pang Gang was slightly stunned, his face was slightly annoyed, although he had not changed his military status, he was also a five-grade thousand-household. This foreigner is just a mere official from the fifth grade, or at most the fifth grade, who dares to yell at himself and make himself kneel down to him. Since Pang Gang came to this era, except for kneeling to Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng and several other high-ranking officials, he has never knelt down to others, let alone kneeling to this official of the same level as himself.

And seeing that this man in his forties, with a polite and polite face, actually dared to point to his nose and scolded mercilessly, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, frowned and said in a deep voice: "What grade are you, and you actually let this official kneel down and salute you?" ”

"Bold!" As soon as Pang Gang said this, it was like provoking a hornet's nest, not only the outsider, but even several officials who were working next to him jumped up as if they had been stepped on their tails, the originally thin face of the outsider turned red, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Pang Gang and his voice changed: "The puppet dares to be so arrogant, it is simply disrespectful and undisciplined, come on, drive this Qiu Ba out for me!" ”

He grabbed the fingers of the outsider and twisted it vigorously, only to hear a soft "click", the outsider who was still menacing just now immediately screamed, only to see him immediately fall to the ground and cover his right hand and roll on the ground in pain, everyone fixed their eyes to see that the right index finger of the outsider was twisted off by Pang Gang, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, how can this seemingly polite outsider bear this severe pain, Looking at this colleague whose face turned blue with pain, the officials who had never experienced such a thing were frightened one by one, some pointed at Pang Gang and were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and some people immediately ran out.

Pang Gang didn't pay attention to others, but slowly walked to the outsider who was still lying on the ground screaming loudly and said contemptuously: "You thief is so ignorant, you have given you the silver and military registration of the official in the right place, but you are still not satisfied, you actually want the official to kneel for you, and you don't pee to see what virtue you have when you are yourself, can you afford to kneel down as a little five-grade man?" ”

This outsider was also stubborn, his small eyes showed a resentful gaze, and he said viciously in a voice that had become hoarse: "You damn Qiu Ba, you wait, the old man will not let you go, you can't do it for a lifetime!" ”

"Don't let me go?" Pang Gang sneered when he heard this, he stretched out his palm and gently patted the face of the outsider, and the contemptuous look in his eyes was clear: "You dare to say that you won't let me go, and you won't give me a military registration?" The official said that he had given you enough face, but you just wanted to find yourself unlucky, so you have to blame the official for being unkind! ”

After saying that, Pang Gang grabbed his belt with his right hand, lifted him up, stood up and strode out, this foreigner was grabbed by Pang Gang like a chicken, and the weight of a hundred pounds was as light as nothing in Pang Gang's hands.

"You, what are you going to do? Let the old man come down. Pang Gang ignored him and just strode out of the door, and he didn't forget to command: "Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi, go face to face the saint with this official, the official won't believe it, and there will be no place to reason at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and others had long been dissatisfied with this arrogant outsider, and after hearing this, they responded in unison and walked out behind Pang Gang.

The situation here finally alarmed many people in the military department, and a team of officers and soldiers in charge of the security of the yamen also rushed over, and when they saw Pang Gang and his party coming out, they drew their waist knives and surrounded Pang Gang and his party. One of the leaders shouted: "The murderer is gone, hurry up and put down the staff and arrest him, otherwise he will be killed." ”

"Woo woo" only heard a few crisp sounds, and Da Zhuang and Wang Zhi also drew their waist knives and confronted these officers and soldiers.

Looking at the more than a dozen officers and soldiers around him who were holding swords and guns, Pang Gang smiled contemptuously and waved the person in his hand at the weapon pointed at him, and chuckled: "This official warns you, this is none of your business, this official will take this thief to meet the saint, if you are interested, you can also follow this official to the Huangji Gate, otherwise this official really doesn't mind killing a few people to establish his authority." ”

After saying that, Pang Gang strode out, leaving only a group of officers and soldiers and officials all over the courtyard to watch Pang Gang walk out, but no one dared to stop him.
