"What did that guy do?"

In Bi Sichen's military tent, Zheng Dequan spoke before Bi Sichen, and Bi Sichen smiled and did not make a sound.

"It's still the same as a while ago, wandering around Qiuzi during the day, talking to those vendors, and resting at the inn at night, nothing unusual."

"Did you have any contact with people in the military?"

"He sent that Wang Yang'er to contact the people in the army, but he was ordered by General Lang, and no one paid attention to him."

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Hearing the news, Zheng Dequan laughed and looked arrogant.

Bi Sichen's face was slightly uncertain, but he still didn't say anything. Zheng Dequan turned his face and said to Bi Sichen: "General Bi, these are all thanks to you, Ye Chang has never stayed in our Anxi, he came here to give orders, isn't it a joke that there are no soldiers, I see how he ends, and when my brother's good news comes, General Bi's work will not be missing."

The words were originally good words, but Zheng Dequan's expression and attitude made people unhappy. Bi Sichen smiled reluctantly, got up and said, "I'm going to pay a visit to Deputy Cheng Duhu." ”

"Keep an eye on it, don't let Cheng Qianli make any reputation," Zheng Dequan said.

His commanding tone made Bi Sichen stop and look back at him, Zheng Dequan still didn't know it.

Seeing Cheng Qianli leaving, Zheng Dequan pondered that there was nothing to do, so he went out with others. Qiuzi is now the place where the Anxi Protectorate is located, and Zheng Dequan can be said to be rampant here, and everyone avoids everywhere he goes.

Ye Chang was above the restaurant, and someone pointed at Zheng Dequan from afar and said: "This person is Zheng Dequan, the son of Ambassador Gao's nursing mother. He originally went to Shiguo with Ambassador Gao, but on the day Ye Zhongcheng came, he and Bi Sichen stayed again, thinking that they came to deal with Ye Zhongcheng. ”

Ye Chang smiled and said, "I see...... I see that this Si is acting, and he is really unscrupulous, what Brother Li said is that he is really an opportunity to take advantage of"

"I wonder what the ambassador wants to do with him?" Brother Li asked.

He was really curious in his heart, his clan brother respected the young man in front of him very much, and the young man in front of him was indeed famous, and now the officials and powers were all made great achievements in the border land.

This Brother Li is known as Xuan, but Li Bai's clan brother, who is interested in border affairs, joined the army in Anxi, and is now a military Chinese official. Previously, Ye Chang knew about the situation in Anxi, and Li Bai had introduced his clan brother to him. Ye Chang came to Anxi, and he was not familiar with the place, so he thought of this person. Fortunately, he did not go out with the army, so he was secretly found by Ye Chang.

On the surface, Wang Yang'er went to contact the soldiers in the army, but in fact, Ye Chang summoned Li Juan out of the meeting through the local businessmen. Hearing Li Juan ask like this, Ye Changshen smiled and said, "What does Brother Li think?" ”

When he first came to Anxi, he lacked people in his hands, Li Juan had a relationship with Li Bai, and if he could really pull him to his side to help, he could be regarded as a number of available people.

"In a certain opinion, the overall situation is important, and the ambassador will wait for the military situation at the front to come before making a decision." Li Juan said.

Ye Chang nodded, and his evaluation of Li Juan was a little higher in his heart. He didn't do what he liked, and he was anxious to instigate himself to fight with Gao Xianzhi, proving that this person still has some overall vision, and he is also very cautious, and he is the kind of person who can do anything.

"A certain person has been out of camp for a long time, and now he wants to return to the camp so as not to ......"

Li Juan was about to say goodbye, but Ye Chang suddenly waved his hand: "Don't worry, please sit down and watch the excitement." ”

Li Juan was shocked: What is there to see here?

Following Ye Chang's gaze, he saw Zheng Dequan and his entourage, and two camels were slowly coming. It was about to see the arrogance of Zheng Dequan and the others, and the Hu Shang who was leading the camel hurriedly avoided it, but in a hurry, a cloth bag on the camel fell down. The bag pocket was not fastened, and a string of beads rolled out of it.

It is a chain of glass beads, which shines in the sunlight and reflects the brilliance of gold. When Zheng Dequan saw it, his eyes suddenly widened.

Glassware is not uncommon in the Western Regions, and there are even some glassware that came here from as far away as Europe. But the craftsmanship can do this string of beads, there is no other. Zheng Dequan has been in Anxi for a long time, and he also has some knowledge, and immediately saw the origin of this string of beads: "Glass beads of Aolai Country"

Glass beads from Aolai country, in Chang'an and Luoyang, a string of beads like this can be sold for hundreds of times, and if it is taken to a remote and remote place where this thing has never been seen, the value is immeasurable.

"Ahh As he picked up something, he loosened the reins of the camel, and for some reason, the camel took a few steps forward and almost hit Zheng Dequan's horse

Zheng Dequan whipped it over, and whipped it on the burlap bag on the camel's body, and when he heard the crisp sound of the sound, he glanced at his subordinates.

Someone under his command suddenly stepped forward and pushed the merchant away: "You dare to rush into our general, are you looking for death?" ”

The surrounding passers-by and traders all looked at the Hu merchant sympathetically.

Gao Xianzhi is greedy, this Zheng Dequan is his minions, although they have not done it openly when they directly kill people and oversell goods, but there are no rare things to steal. The treasures of the Hu merchants were exposed, and they had to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

The Hu merchant staggered back, and the person who came up took advantage of the heat to get in front of Luo, went over with a knife, and cut the bag open: "Look at your appearance, you must be a big cannibal spy, otherwise where is there a merchant at this time...... Let me check, you're bringing ......"

There was a wooden box in the bag, and as he spoke, he opened the lock on the wooden box, lifted the lid and looked at it, and then the words got stuck in his throat, and it became the grunt of spittle.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt dizzy when he saw this exquisite set of glass wine ware.

"Sure enough, it's a big cannibal spy, bring it back to the camp, and interrogate it in detail" Zheng Dequan in the back also saw this, his face changed, and then ordered.

Knowing that Ye Chang was in Qiuzi City, there were some things that he didn't dare to do on the street, but if he brought this Hu merchant back to the barracks, would he ask him to make a confession?

The Hu Shang's face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground: "The villain is not a spy, the villain is a good citizen, and the goods of the good people are imported from Chang'an by the villain, and there are customs clearance documents along the way as evidence...... General ......"

"Take it away," Zheng Dequan said sharply.

Suddenly, someone stepped forward to block the mouth of the Hu Shang and tie him up and take him away. At this moment, Ye Chang raised his voice upstairs and said, "Slow"

Zheng Dequan was furious when he heard this voice, he already had a plan, a set of such glass wine utensils may be worth thousands or even tens of thousands, judging from the luggage of this Hu merchant, there must be more than one set of glassware carried. Give one set and Gao Xianzhi as a gift, and the rest can be surnamed Zheng, which can be said to be a windfall, and whoever stops him will turn his face. Therefore, he turned his head and scolded: "Where did the thief come from......

Then he saw Ye Chang's calm eyes in the restaurant.

"Ye Chang?" His heart sank, and he was a little sobered up from the confusion of seeing the wealth.

At this time, he didn't think that this Hu Chamber of Commerce was a trap laid by Ye Chang, the purpose was to accuse him, or rather, to fish for law enforcement. Therefore, he just scolded secretly, and then smiled on his face: "It turned out to be Ye Zhongcheng, Ye Zhongcheng is not enjoying happiness in Chang'an, what is the value of coming to our sand?" ”

"Let that Hu Shang say."

"No, this person is a big food scout, if he is allowed to talk nonsense and spread the military information of our Anxi Town, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to the army."

"Is it a spy, how can you decide with a word?"

"Zhongcheng has never been in Anxi, so I can't tell if it's a spy or not, and I will be in Anxi for many years, so I can see if it's a spy at a glance."

"Nonsense."

"What did you say?"

"I said that you are talking nonsense, I fought from Liaodong to Yunnan, and I have seen tens of thousands of warriors on the frontier, but it is the first time that you have talked nonsense like this."

Ye Chang deliberately provoked the other party and spoke unceremoniously, Zheng Dequan was furious when he heard it, and thought of Feng Changqing's parting instructions, so he forcibly suppressed his anger: Now that Bi Sichen is not around, no one can speak in front of Ye Chang, and it is not the time for a head-on confrontation.

"This is the matter of my Anxi Town, Ambassador Gao has instructed, Zhongcheng outsiders, it is better to take care of it." He said coldly, and then turned to the Hu Shang: "Take it away"

In such a situation, he is still reluctant to give up two camels of property, does not give up his greed, and can be imagined as lawless on weekdays. The corners of Ye Chang's mouth curled slightly, signaling to the left and right, and in an instant, Shanzhi jumped down from the upstairs, dragged Zheng Dequan straight down from the horse, and knocked him to the ground with one punch.

Although Zheng Dequan had an entourage around him, and he was also a little brave, he didn't expect that Ye Chang would dare to turn his face even if he only brought a few people. His heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but shout: "Little thief, you dare"

"Thief?" Ye Chang laughed: "Read." ”

A person beside Ye Chang stepped forward and opened a roll of paper in his hand: "Give Ye Chang the control of the General Army of Anxi." Under the door: The drum flag of the Chinese army, is to push the marshal, Xiong Zhen stamina, and also belongs to the military ministers. Yinqing Guanglu Doctor Zuo Wu Wei Wai General Jiannan Province Jiedu Deputy Ambassador Zhijie Du Matter Protector Qingyuan County Founding Bo Ye Chang, learn the poor economy, and only have Tao Strategy. Hold the troops, hit the remnants of Liaodong, the border court of the town for a long time, and calm the barbarians and Yunnan. Today, the yellow sand is thousands of miles, the clouds are in the city, and the camp of the fine willows in Yitun is the gas of Gaolan. 20,000 cavalry cavalry of the united soldiers of the right road of Zhenglong, 10,000 crossbowmen of Shuo Fang Jian'er, and the deputy envoy of the regimental training of Ye Changlong right road was appointed as the general manager of the rear army of the Anxi Army and the protector of the capital of Anxi. The Lord does it. ”

This is the appointment system issued by Menxia Province, and as soon as it was announced, Zheng Dequan's face couldn't help but change. Although Ye Chang did not make a specific transfer of power with Gao Xianzhi, as the chief of the rear army and the protector of the capital of Anxi, this Qiuzi City happened to be under Ye Chang's jurisdiction.

"If you're disrespectful to your boss, call me first." Ye Chang ordered.

Where will he be polite, he clenched his fist and slammed it down. He has been following Ye Chang for so long, so he naturally knows Ye Chang's intentions, and he hit Zheng Dequan's mouth, and beat Zheng Dequan's scolding, begging for mercy or crying back, and the bloody big teeth have fallen seven or eight, and the whole mouth is swollen.

"A certain person is the general manager of the Anxi Houjun, and Ambassador Gao is not there, so the military discipline of the Houjun is a law enforcement. This guy has no officials, so he talks about punishment...... In this military and civilian, if there is something illegal that wants to be reported, it can be said and heard. ”

Ye Chang raised his voice again in the restaurant.

Li Juan's face next to him also changed, and he shrank back, secretly complaining.

He just persuaded Ye Chang to be steady, but he never thought that Ye Chang had never taken it to heart at all, and this opening was clearly to rectify Zheng Dequan to death. But Zheng Dequan has been in Anxi for a long time, and the military and civilians know that he is Gao Xianzhi's confidant, who dares to come out to testify? Ye Chang's move, except for startling the grass and snakes, is of no use.

He desperately glanced at Ye Chang on the side, but Ye Chang still looked like he was smiling, and he just ignored it. Li Juan was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone crying outside: "The chief manager can really punish this guy?" ”

"Yes"

"Half a month ago, this guy led someone to take my Zhuangzi......" the man shouted, telling his story.

Different from the desolation of the Western Regions thought by the people of the Central Plains, under the rule of Anxi, the land north of the Tianshan Mountains was not all Gobi Desert, and there were many places suitable for farming and grazing. And the generals in the army often seize the granges of the local people, and even the big officials seize the fields of the small officials. Like before Gao Xianzhi was the envoy of the festival, Bi Sichen relied on his power and seized a grange in the east of the city with an annual output of 1,000 stones.

When the man started his head, others spoke one after another, saying directly how he was bullied by Zheng Dequan, and some people even pointed out that Zheng Dequan had murdered for money. These crimes were heavier than the other, and Ye Chang's expression gradually became serious.

"You dare to be so lawless, and I don't know who gave you such courage" Ye Chang snorted coldly: "If you come here, you can't help but be righteous and reassure the people." Come, bring me sticks, and give me seventy rods

At this time, Shanzhi had already stopped, Zheng Dequan was originally glaring at each other on the ground, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said sharply: "Little thief, you dare to kill me?" ”

Seventy rods, for the purpose of slaying him.

"Yang'er, it seems that these sergeants are unwilling to do it, you go to the execution." Ye Chang instructed Wang Yang'er.

Wang Yang'er laughed twice, there was no stick, so he took the door bolt of the restaurant, where did the shopkeeper of the restaurant dare to stop it, he could only watch Wang Yang'er pick up the stick and smash it on Zheng Dequan's buttocks.

With a snap, the sound of bones cracking came out.

"Stop, stop" Wang Yang'er was about to fight again, when suddenly there was a call in the distance, and then, more than ten horsemen galloped over, but it was Bi Sichen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Dequan made his eyes look and asked people to find Bi Sichen. When Bi Sichen saw Zheng Dequan screaming on the ground, his face changed greatly, and he grabbed his horse and looked at the restaurant.

Ye Chang was still leaning on top of it, leaning against the window, looking at him calmly.

"Ye Zhongcheng, please give the last general a face, this Zheng Dequan is disrespectful to Zhongcheng and has been punished......"

"It's nothing to be disrespectful." Ye Chang said: "Cruelty to the people and greed to the soldiers, this is a serious crime. ”

"This ...... Zhongcheng, he is Ambassador Gao's brother, Zhongcheng always has to save some face for Ambassador Gao......"

"There is one thing, Anxi is too far away from Chang'an, and it has not yet arrived. When I was in Chang'an, Wang Zhun, the son of the imperial historian Wang, the captain of the guard, was also cruel to the people and broke my legs on the street. Ye Chang sneered: "I will be correct for the son of the Imperial Doctor, and how many more Kaiyuan Tongbao are worth Ambassador Gao's face?" ”
