Chapter 45:-for-tat

Zhang Yunhan's thinking is very clear, at present, the case of the impact on Jinyi Wei Qianhu and who colluded with the Tartars must be merged into one case, only in this way can Zhu Ping'an be involved at the expense of Liao Yongtang, and it can be regarded as a game for Cao Huachun and save some face.

Therefore, when Zhu Ping'an was ordered to come to the lobby, Zhang Yunhan immediately led the matter to him.

"Lord Zhu, I heard that before you were promoted to commander and Tongzhi, you were only a hundred households of the high wall guards, right?" Zhang Yunhan asked with a cold expression.

"Returning to Lord Qincha, exactly!"

"Gui 100 households, the original 200 military households, more than 300 strong people, a total of more than 600 people, a total of more than 100 acres of land under the rule of 100 households, right?"

"Yes!"

"And what are you going to feed these six hundred?"

"...... this?" Zhu Ping'an was a little hesitant.

"Carefully speaking, you have 300 soldiers under your command, plus a total of 600 military families, but the field is only a hundred acres, and the food, clothing and chewing of these 600 people is not a small number.

Zhang Yunhan's voice was fierce, but there was a little smug between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. As soon as he took over this case, Zhang Yunhan really used his brain. Nowadays, compared to the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, the military household system has been corrupted, and the military attaches in various places only know how to collect wealth and occupy land, and the military households are scattered and fled. And this Zhu Ping'an after his arrival, but the scattered military households are gathered back together, and now it is a self-sufficient situation, there must be a way to get money and food, and these ways are obviously not the right way, Zhu Ping'an will never dare to list them one by one, as long as he grasps this point, he can logically link it with the Tartars, and he can easily punish him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhan peeked at Wang Pin a little smugly, but he was secretly making a small calculation in his heart.

Although Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen are both from the Qiandi of King Xin, their styles are very different. Cao Huachun was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and Dongchang, and there was already a faint trend of being the first person in the internal official, but Wang Chengen was obscure and always served by the emperor's side, which was quite a holy favor. And Wang Chengen is known as a virtuous person in the inner palace, and the two rising stars - Wang Pin and Huai En, who have been single-handedly adjusted, are also quite appreciated by the emperor and empress, and even the crown prince. In comparison, in terms of errand ability, Cao Huachun's family is a little uneven, and there have never been any outstanding characters over the years.

But this time is different, Zhang Yunhan is full of confidence at this time, as long as this mission is completed, Zhu Ping'an is punished, and Shi Yingzhao's revenge is avenged, then Cao Huachun will definitely look at himself differently, and the great future and the wealth of the sky are in front of him.

But Wang Pin's expression surprised Zhang Yunhan a little. He tasted the tea carefully, looking like he was out of the way, but the corners of his mouth suddenly pursed, as if he was looking at Zhu Ping'an at the bottom of the stairs with interest.

"Do you want to know what's going on?" Zhu Ping'an suddenly opened his mouth at this time, interrupting Zhang Yunhan's thoughts.

Zhang Yunhan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "Of course, I don't know how you raised soldiers, and how you can prove that you have nothing to do with the Tartars." Don't forget, we have a confession in our hands that the Tartar has drawn by himself! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Ping'an looked frightened, turned his head and secretly looked at the Fengyang military attachΓ©s sitting on the side, and seemed to be fighting fiercely in his heart, and after a while, he gritted his teeth fiercely. "Lord Qincha Mingjian, what the lower officials mean is that the hundred households are subordinate to the high-walled guards under the command of Fengyang Wei, and naturally have the military rations and silver supplies issued by the imperial court, so how can it be the turn of the lower officials to worry about it?"

For Zhu Ping'an's response, Lu Zhenfei is no longer surprised. After being a professor for most of the month, Lu Zhenfei's understanding of Zhu Ping'an has deepened. This teenager does have many things that are different from ordinary people, and Lu Zhenfei thinks that this is the "talent" that people have been talking about.

The continuous whimsy, the realistic analysis of the situation, and the precise and cautious thinking pattern all made Lu Zhenfei feel overwhelmed. Sometimes, Lu Zhenfei mistakenly thinks that this is not a pair of teachers and students, but two people of the same level who are learning from each other.

"Don't fight unprepared battles!" This is a sentence that Zhu Ping'an often hangs on his lips.

Lu Zhenfei was amazed, what made this teenager's spirit so tenacious and thorough. But thinking of his father and his family, Lu Zhenfei suddenly felt sad.

His eldest son is the same age as Zhu Ping'an, but now he is just buried in history, and his practical talent has not been shown at all, compared with Zhu Ping'an, the gap is too big. Experience is the best teacher for a person's growth, which Lu Zhenfei has been confirmed by Zhu Ping'an.

As a result, Duan Xinian's frequent eyes for help just now were prevaricated by him deliberately pretending not to see it. In the current predicament, Zhu Ping'an must have a way to solve it perfectly, and Lu Zhenfei is convinced of this.

"Haha!" Zhang Yunhan couldn't help the smugness in his heart, he laughed fiercely, stretched out his hand and threw a manual that had already been prepared to the bottom of the steps, "Zhu Ping'an, you can see clearly, this is the list of Fengyang high-wall guards registered by the Ministry of War, and it is clearly recorded that there are actually 300 military households and more than 500 strong men in your 100 households, but you just admitted that there are only 300 strong men under your command. Where did all the money and food for the 500 people distributed by the imperial court go, but they were all privately swallowed. Now, before this is related to the Tartar matter, you yourself have recruited a fifteen-ten, and you say, what kind of sin are you! ”

Wang Pin, who was drinking tea, spit out a mouthful, Lu Zhenfei also shook his head again and again, and Fengyang Wenwu next to him looked at each other, why did the palace send such an idiot over.

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yunhan was confused by everyone's reactions, and turned his head to look around for some reason, but he didn't understand what was wrong with him.

Zhu Ping'an arched his hand helplessly, "This, forgive the official for not being able to answer!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Yunhan came to the spirit, "Ben Qincha is ordered to review this case......!" Caught off guard, Yuan Min on the side tugged at his sleeve, Zhang Yunhan looked back impatiently, and Yuan Min made a gesture not to ask again.

But Zhang Yunhan vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal, and finally caught Zhu Ping'an's sore feet, how could he give up lightly?

Wang Pin coughed twice, and pressed Zhang Yunhan's right hand to pat the startled Tangmu, "That, Gonggong Zhang, the younger brother has something to say, don't ask again about this matter." We are from the palace, and there are many things in military affairs that cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Take this military household system as an example, it involves all aspects of the relationship, and if you check it again, it will be a confused account, and the face in the palace is not good-looking! ”

Lu Zhenfei next to him obviously heard Wang Pin's words, nodded approvingly, but did not interject.

But Wang Pin's words made Zhang Yunhan mistakenly think that he was watching a joke, and he pushed Wang Pin's hand away with a solemn face. "Joke, our family also served in the Imperial Horse Prison, although we are not familiar with military affairs, but it is not easy to fool our family!"

Wang Pin had to sit back with a wry smile on his face and shake his head at Lu Zhenfei. Wang Pin knows Zhang Yunhan very well. Since he was a child, he entered the palace, but he was the head of the division of the prison, and he stayed in it for more than 20 years, although he had only done it in the imperial horse supervisor and the ceremonial supervisor, but he had come to the present day with his flattery. It's also reasonable to make jokes.

Duan Xinian next to him really couldn't stand it, this eunuch pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, and even asked about the difference in empty salary, once this matter is brought out, not to mention a Zhu Ping'an, it is this Fengyang civil and military, and even the big guys of the military department of the DPRK and the Central Military Department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies don't want to live in peace, how can he continue to mess around. Besides, the current Fengyang military attache respects him, if he doesn't stand up and say something, then he really won't have the face to mix in the circle in the future.

"Lord-sama!" Duan Xinian saluted, "If you want to ask about this matter, then please start from the military department of the imperial court, check level by level, and always come up with a clue, if you just hold on to a Zhu Ping'an, then simply convict him immediately, and see if the court recognizes it?" ”

Zhang Yunhan was furious, this interrogation of Zhu Ping'an is good, you Duan Xinian rushed up and pretended to be a big-tailed wolf.

was about to have a seizure, but Yuan Min grabbed his sleeve again, "My father-in-law Zhang, but I don't dare to ask about this matter anymore." The Ministry of War issued salaries, money, and grain, all the way to the guards, thousands of households, and hundreds of households below, and how many yamen and personnel were involved in them, just like the ice and charcoal respects of civil officials, which is also a common practice in the army. Among the hundreds, there is not much left. This is a matter of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, which will not benefit you to Gonggong Cao, and cause turmoil in the court situation, then our sin is great! ”

Zhang Yunhan was shocked, but he didn't expect this meaning, so he brought himself in, if a Zhu Ping'an caused a strong backlash from civil and military officials, it would be to grab the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

Zhang Yunhan sat back in his seat stupidly, his face was blue and white for a while, and he took advantage of the moment of drinking tea to stabilize his feelings, and then continued to ask.

"There are precedents for money and food, and Ben Qincha doesn't ask any more. But Zhu Ping'an, Ben Qincha is very curious, since it is so difficult, how do you feed these more than 600 people? ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "Since the adults want to know, Ping'an naturally knows everything, so please ask the adults for permission, and the subordinates of the lower officials will bring some things for the adults to see, and the adults will know at a glance!" ”

Sure enough, Zhang Yunhan agreed to Zhu Ping'an's request and nodded in agreement.

After a lot of effort, Yin Shigang took a few subordinates and carried five heavy rattan boxes up the lobby.

The officials present did not know why, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Zhang Yunhan was also a little confused, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhu Ping'an arched his hand, and Yin Shigang opened a rattan box, took out a scroll and handed it to him. "Lord Qincha, these boxes contain all the account books of the hundred households since the lower officials took over, and every income and expenditure can be traced. The signatures and paintings of the lower officials, the handlers, and the handlers are all available. Adults can send the audit master of the East Factory to carefully investigate. ”

Zhang Yun slapped the table angrily, "This is natural, these account books will naturally send people to check them one by one." But you didn't answer Ben Chincha's question just now, isn't this avoiding the truth! ”
