Wang Lanping came to Huaining County with two guards, at this time almost the whole city knew him, even the Ya Gong was no exception, as soon as they met, they ordered to salute their waists, Wang Lanping explained the intention, and the Ya Gong took him directly to the duty room of the Huaining County Ya, which would be the county master Kong Rusong was on duty.

Walking into the duty room, Kong Zhixian, who was not confused, was burying his head in reading various files, and when he saw the champion coming to greet him.

"Zhuangyuangong, why are you here, come, the flower hall serves tea, please"

Wang Lanping grew up in Huaining City, and he has long heard of the official reputation of this Confucian County, knowing that he is an upright person and a dedicated official.

"No need, Kong Zhi County, it's not a big deal, it's just that I have a lot of things at home for no reason, please check with your county master, is it someone who put it in the wrong place, let people come and take it back, there is no way, the poor house can't put so many things, the county master, you see that this matter is not difficult."

Of course Kong Rusong knew about this, just when the news of Wu Zhuangyuan had just reached Huaining City, the local squire came to him, should he repair the house for the champion family, and then unite everyone to donate some money, the local big man has become like this, according to the usual practice, but Kong Zhi County did not do this, he thought that using the silver donated by the rich businessmen in the city to build a house for the champion prince was to discredit this glory, and in the future, I am afraid that the champion will give people a handle, and it is also the county government's business to do it, which is also the county master's business, Under his rule, the champion lived in one or two broken thatched houses, not to mention that he couldn't hang his face, and the people of the whole city did not agree, but the natural disasters continued, bandits were rampant, the county government finances were too poor, and now he still owes a large amount of silver to the household department.

After thinking about it, Kong Rusong thought of a way, and he saved up the silver he had saved for a few months, and then he scraped together seven or eight taels of silver, which finally came in handy on the day the champion came back.

Secretly found dozens of workers, while the whole city went to the city gate to see the excitement, renovated the house of the champion's family, the workers heard that it was to repair the house for the champion's family, and the wages were not taken, and dozens of people were busy in less than two hours.

Kong Zhi County's idea is that in this way, it will cut off the way for someone to want to pull the relationship, only if he doesn't have this idea, but if he wants people not to know unless he does nothing, when the engineering team just drove into the Wang family, there were people with a heart to watch, as soon as the engineering team left, the county's big and small officials were notified, saying that the county prince had already taken the first step in the dark to pat the champion master's ass, which was repaid, so the Wang family's small courtyard became a freight terminal.

Kong Zhixian didn't expect that the champion would come to him and send someone to send the gift back, maybe this is a Qing official, at least he is not greedy, and he is stronger than the chief soldier Liu Zeqing, of course, who dares to accept it in such a blatant way of giving gifts.

"This matter will be done in this county, and such a custom will insult the Qingming of the champion," Kong Rusong said.

"Okay, then there is labor, oh yes, I want to ask you about a person" Wang Lanping wanted to ask Liu Zeqing about it, because the two of them will work together in the future, first touch his bottom from other people's mouths, although Wang Lanping grew up in this area, but almost nothing about the people in the Ming army.

Kong Rusong was stunned for a moment, "What does the general mean?" "Others don't understand, Kong Zhixian has been in Huaining for seven years, just because he can't talk to people, he may have to die of old age in this magistrate county, and it is precisely because of this that he knows too much about Liu Zeqing's, but he still doesn't know the bottom of this Wang Zhuangyuan, officialdom can be different streams, but you must not be embarrassed by others, so at least you will be alone.

Wang Lanping said as if he had no intention, "Just ask, we are new to Chadao, we don't know a lot of things, and our eyes are dark."

Kong Rusong actually wanted to join Liu Zeqing for a long time, but he had no choice but to know a small county, and he didn't fit in, he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to be angry, he didn't dare to speak, this Wang Zhuangyuan will also be a member of the Anqing Mansion Army in the future, and he won't be angry.

Liu Zeqing, a well-known general in the Ming Dynasty who can run away, ran away as soon as he saw Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's army, but bullied the common people that was an expert, and he couldn't beat Guan Zhang or Liu Bei, this kid almost didn't directly attack the city of Daming for money, although the military department also heard of it, but it was not easy to do, the most important thing was that the army of the Ming Dynasty was guarded for hundreds of years, and there were dozens of soldiers in the small guards, and there were thousands of large guards. For the people in their spare time, such an army has very poor combat effectiveness.

In recent decades, with the surging of the peasant army, the Weisuo army has been useless, so the imperial court acquiesced to the formation of local armies in various places, that is, private recruitment, the advantage is that the combat effectiveness has gone up, and the disadvantage is that whoever recruited these soldiers will listen to whom, and if the generals are changed, they can't play, and Liu Zeqing got up like this.

At the beginning, Liu Zeqing's performance was not bad, he won several battles, and his selfishness was completely exposed as soon as he was proud and greedy for pleasure, and the entire Ming Dynasty was fighting in the southeast, northwest, inside and outside, and he had fought for more than ten years, and he didn't go too far, so just stop fighting and save his strength.

Later, the entire Anqing town government army of 30,000 people was actually less than 20,000 people, but the imperial court still issued military salaries according to 30,000 soldiers every year, and this vacancy was taken for several years, but he was not satisfied, and he always thought that Lao Tzu would not go to the battlefield anyway, and he still kept the cavalry who burned silver to do, so 3,000 war horses were sold and sold cleanly, and a large number of troops were sent home.

This time Liu Zeqing is a little confused, the emperor is not right, he actually put a martial champion in the position of deputy chief soldier of Anqing, this is a big trouble, the deputy chief soldier is the commander of the cavalry of the whole town, now in the army of a town in Anqing, not to mention the war horse, even a cow can not be found, this can not be delivered, Anqing has not fought for several years, and he can't find a reason to report a war loss, last year he also received the full salary of 30,000 troops, which is really fatal, so Liu Zeqing sharpened his head and wanted to talk to Wang Lanping in private, but it was really not good, It's okay to let Wang Zhuangyuan take office later, and he has time to temporarily make up a miscellaneous iron cavalry to get by.

Wang Lanping saw that he couldn't ask anything from Kong Zhixian, so he gave up, but he always felt that something was wrong from Kong Zhixian's flickering eyes, this old boy must have something to say, but there was no way if people didn't say it.

Wang Lanping turned around and left, and as soon as he walked to the door of the county office, he saw Liu Zeqing walking back and forth in front of the steps, just changing into civilian clothes.

"Yo, Champion Gong, it's a coincidence" Liu Zeqing pretended to have a chance encounter.

Wang Lanping was really a little surprised, "General Liu, didn't you hear that you went to inspect military affairs, how did you come here, you also have a garrison in this county office?"

Liu Zeqing laughed, "I am the chief soldier of Anqing, and the tranquility of Huaining City is also my responsibility."

Wang Lanping sighed, he is also a colleague in the battle formation in the future, and polite words are still inevitable, "The general is really hard, the Anqing Mansion of Nuoda is all thanks to the army under your command to protect the territory and the people, and he is really the guardian god of Anqing, and when I take office in a few days, this burden on your body will be one or two."

Liu Zeqing said with a smile, "Contribute to the country, don't talk about hard work, Zhuangyuangong, it's better to meet by chance, it just so happens that I have a banquet in the front restaurant to invite a few old friends in the army in the past, or you can also get together, and everyone will get to know each other."

Wang Lanping thought for a while, no, why does this kid want to find me in private again and again, what does your old friend have to do with me, the open and secret fighting between friends in the court has made the emperor very distressed, even the military camp is a gang, there must be no good thing, good things don't carry people, there must be no good things to carry people, this meal can't be eaten, don't worry about other people's ways, I don't have a soldier in my hands now, everything is still waiting for the appointment.

"Oh, hug qian, it's unfortunate that I still have something to do, in the future, you and I will be in the same military formation, there is an opportunity, not busy" Wang Lanping excused.

"In this way, then dare to ask Wang Zhuangyuan when he plans to take office, brother, I can arrange a relationship"

Wang Lanping planned to go to the barracks in three days to take up his post, and there were still more than 200 miles from Huaining City to the garrison, so after thinking about it, he said, "Five days later."

As soon as he heard this, Liu Zeqing complained again and again, for five days, I am not a monkey, where can I conjure up thousands of cavalry, at least I have to give me half a month.

"Why is Wang Zhuangyuan so anxious, it is better to stay at home for a few more days and accompany Gao Tang when he returns just now, once he enters the barracks and wants to go home, it will not be very convenient."

"Oh, yes, Mr. Liu, didn't you sneak into this Huaining City too?"

"Oh, haha, Wang Zhuangyuan is really joking, so let's wait for me to finish counting the cavalry battalions and grain and grass, and it's not too late for you to take office and hand it over, so as not to be in a hurry when you get it, you can see that it is good to take office in a month."

Wang Lanping has also traveled south and north over the years, and when he heard this, he immediately became vigilant, no matter how this kid looks at it, he looks like he is covering up something, his kindness is too much, counting the military horses is my deputy chief soldier's business, there must be ghosts in the barracks.

"General Liu, I remember, the emperor set me the date to take over the Anqing cavalry battalion the day after tomorrow, not to mention that I have heard that this deputy chief soldier has been a long time, but I am afraid that the soldiers will neglect to practice, this will miss the major affairs of the military camp, I can be unhappy in front of the emperor, I will arrive early the day after tomorrow, and act with respect."

Liu Zeqing's face immediately changed, "What, what, the day after tomorrow?" This Huaining City is still more than 200 miles away from the station, are you in a hurry? ”

"I don't bother with this, I'll leave tonight" Wang Lanping stared at Liu Zongbing's eyes, and he felt more and more that Liu Zongbing's flickering and restless eyes were hiding something.

Liu Zeqing really hates to slap his mouth, what does it mean to lose too many words, there are just five days left, and the day after tomorrow will be over in a blink of an eye, it's over, and the matter is going to be revealed.

Liu Zeqing saw that there was no other way to say that he couldn't move, he couldn't send someone to do it here, he smiled weirdly and turned around and left, Wang Zhuangyuan said that he would leave at night, he had to leave now, he had to go back to the barracks before him, and if it was soft, it would be hard, and blocking people's money would be like killing parents.

Wang Lanping looked at the back of General Liu Bing's rapid departure and said to himself, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"I know," a voice came from behind Wang Lanping.

Wang Lanping looked back and saw that it was Kongzhi County.

"What do you know?" Wang Lanping asked what Kong Zhi County should know.

"I know you're in trouble, General."

"What? What do you mean? Wang Lanping was taken aback.

"Champion Yuangong, I have heard the conversation between you and General Liu, if you rush to the government army camp the day after tomorrow, the Ming Dynasty will lose a rare general."

Wang Lanping became more and more confused the more he listened, "What do you want to say?" ”

"The champion princess, please go to the back office"

Kong Rusong is an old officialdom, seeing the small knowledge giant, Liu Zeqing's scourge will have to be eliminated sooner or later, since it is learned from the words and conversations of the two of them that the two have no friendship, then Kong Rusong has no worries, at least Wang Zhuangyuan is strong, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is not necessary for this person to completely change it to the scrap of the armament of Anqing Mansion.
