Chapter 141: The Storm is Coming

In the past ten days, there has been nothing wrong, and the news from Dengzhou has come one after another, Yang Jingtang and his eldest son Yang Tai have not made too many moves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Jingtang was still on duty in the capital as usual, but Yang Tai had no trace at all.

However, Zhao Haiming didn't relax his mind at all, and his immobility does not mean that the Yang family is not acting in secret, after all, there are many people walking under the Yang family, and their private actions are not visible to the supervisor at all.

On this day, the northwest wind rose strongly, and the cold wind carried the crest of the waves to the shore and the warships on the shore, and the splashing mist dispersed, and the warships rose and fell with the waves.

"Lord Bing, the Cangshan and Rushan haven't returned from their sea patrol, look, my lord." Huang Tieshan reported to Zhao Haiming.

Zhao Haiming pushed open the window to look at the howling north wind and lapping waves outside, "Send a Haicang to know that they will return to Hong Kong immediately to take shelter from the wind." Although the current wind and waves are acceptable, I am afraid that tomorrow will be even worse. ”

"The subordinates immediately send out warships." Huang Tieshan bowed and said.

"You know the bow of the boat, the wind and waves are strong, and you must be careful with the boat." Zhao Haiming advised.

"Yes."

Huang Tieshan got up and left.

"Your Excellency doesn't need to worry too much, it's all old ship's bow, and you will be careful." Wang Zhe said with relief on the side.

"I hope so, this ghost weather is really a headache." Zhao Haiming closed the window sash.

There was a knock at the door outside.

"My lord, Governor Denglai's yamen has sent someone to arrive, this is Governor Li's edict." Ma Biao came in and presented a letter.

Zhao Haiming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately took the letter and opened it to take a look.

It was said above that a few days ago, Deng Lai Dusi Zhen Fu Wang Ning reported to Li Song that Zhao Haiming, the commander of Weihaiwei, was guilty of deducting food and wages, enriching his own pockets, concealing the ships of the sailors, using public weapons for private purposes, and smuggling seafood.

And Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Denglai, seconded the reprimand, Yang Guodong is the nominal commander of Denglai, he is not only the commander of Denglai, but also the commander of Denglai, he not only controls the soldiers, but also controls the guards of Denglai, plus he is the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who can be described as powerful in Denglai, and Li Song, the governor of Denglai, also has to respect this lord.

Li Song made it clear in the edict that Zhao Haiming must go to the Yamen of the governor of Denglai five days later to answer the interrogation, and at that time, Li Song, the governor of Denglai, Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Denglai, and the three commanders of the Denglai Dusi will be listed, and at that time, Zhao Haiming can defend his own family.

Zhao Haiming frowned and finished reading the letter, then turned around and handed it to Wang Zhe, "It seems that the Yang family really wants my Zhao family to be ruined." ”

Wang Zhe took the letter and read it carefully.

"Some time ago, I let Cui Hai go to Shidao, I know Zhao Meng and others, and I care carefully about Yang Dusi, Lie'er is under the rule of Dusi, but I didn't expect that this Yang Jingtang didn't look at Lie'er's Zuo Qianhu at all, but stared at me looking for someone's black yarn hat, hum, it's really a retribution." Zhao Haiming gritted his teeth and hated.

Zhao Haiming never expected that Yang Jingtang didn't want to get back some face at all, but let him, the head of the family, lose his position, and then destroy the foundation of the Zhao family in Denglai, which was poisonous and ruthless.

"My lord, this time this Wang Zhenfu must have been instructed by Yang Jingtang to frame the adult, but this greedy man is a disgusting person, and it is not easy to verify the private use of secret ships and public weapons, unless... Wang Zhe looked at Zhao Haiming inquiringly.

"Unless someone from the Weihai Division Battalion identifies you." Zhao Haiming's face sank.

The so-called greedy food and salary is used to splash dirty water, and it is rare to use this excuse to punish military generals, because the food and salary began to be drifted away from the moment the military department issued an edict and the household department allocated it, and when it came to the thousands of households below, only more than fifty percent remained.

During this period, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Governor of Denglai, the Governor of Denglai, the Commander of Denglai, and so on, such as deducting food and salary, a string of various yamen lords on this line have to be implicated.

Therefore, this accusation is really a murder charge of concealing a ship, using public weapons for private purposes, and smuggling seafood, although it is difficult to obtain all the stolen goods, but if a subordinate comes forward to identify and betray Zhao Haiming, then although Li Song does not have the right to dismiss Zhao Haiming, but there is a complaint, and his subordinates are the head, then Li Song can order Zhao Haiming to be suspended pending investigation.

As long as Zhao Haiming leaves the position of Weihaiwei's commander, he is suspended and goes home to be investigated, then next, it will be easy for Weihai to investigate Zhao Haiming's crimes and even frame Zhao Haiming's crimes.

Whether Zhao Haiming is greedy for military salaries and other issues, of course, how to support his family without deducting military salaries, and how to go into battle to kill the enemy without elite family members, these are all examples of today's Ming generals, as for the hidden ships, there are even more, and the fleet started by Zhao Lie was given by Zhao Haiming.

In fact, there is no culpability, and it is easy for Yang Jingtang and others to concoct a trumped-up charge in the sailor battalion where Zhao Haiming was suspended.

At this point, it's back to the beginning, it's really hard to get stolen goods, so as long as someone takes the lead, an excuse for suspension is enough.

"A few of the bows didn't come today." Zhao Haiming asked.

"My lord, there are eight bows such as Tang Jie and Hu Sheng who are not on duty, six of them are returning from going to sea to rest the boat, and Tang Jie and Hu Sheng said that they were sick and took leave for three days yesterday." Wang Zhe thought for a while.

"Mr. Wang quickly made a list." Zhao Haiming said.

"Students do it right away." Wang Zhe immediately started to make a list.

"Where is Cui Hai?" Zhao Haiming shouted.

"The subordinates are here." Cui Hai entered the room and saluted.

"You immediately take twenty guards and find the bow of the ship on this list one by one, and you will see people alive or dead or corpses." Zhao Haiming ordered.

"The subordinates have orders." Cui Hai will wait to go out.

"If the bow of the ship is not there or the whole family is not there, send someone to report back to the adults immediately." Wang Zhe continued.

Cui Hai bowed his hand to Wang Zheyi and hurriedly turned around and went out.

After anxiously waiting for more than half an hour, Cui Hai hurried back to Tongbing, Tang Jie and Hu Sheng were not there, and even the whole family was missing, and the other bows were resting at home.

"Immediately send out people to arrest these two bastards with all their might, whether they live or die, and they will be punished as deserters." Zhao Haiming gritted his teeth and said.

Cui Hai and Ma Biao immediately led people to set off and began to hunt for the two bows of the boats.

Zhao Haiming sat down on the chair, his face cloudy, and the clenched white joints showed his anger.

"My lord, if you can find such two bows who betrayed your lord in such a short time, I'm afraid there will be help from those who hold important positions in the sailor camp." Wang Zhe's face was also grim, but he was not overly flustered.

"Well, I'm afraid it's someone who cares about my position. Hehe. Zhao Haiming laughed self-deprecatingly, and Li Tongzhi in the camp thought that he was one of them.

"Fame and fortune are longed for by everyone, but the means are too vicious," Wang Zhe folded his fan, "Adults must also take precautions to prevent accidents." ”

"Now he is a knife and I am a fish, what are we going to do?" Zhao Haiming smiled bitterly, he didn't have any hope of recovering these two people, he hadn't seen them for a day, and he estimated that he had already gone to Dengzhou.

Zhao Haiming got up and came to the window with his hands in his hands, looked out, and looked at the noisy port outside, "It's doomed to return to his hometown this time, but it's a pity that Mr. Wang can only find another job." ”

After all, when he returns to his hometown, it is impossible to hire any more staff, as long as the crime of public and private use is implemented, the Zhao family will be greatly injured, and Wang Zhe will not be allowed to follow.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, students have been out of the countryside for more than ten years, and they can return to their hometowns and take a good rest." Wang Zhe shook the folding fan lightly, not caring at all.

There was another knock at the door.

Zhao Haiming frowned slightly, he received too much bad news today, and he was tired of reporting one after another, so there was no good news.

"Come in." Zhao Haiming still called people in, after all, what if Tang Jie and Hu Sheng were recovered.
