Chapter 102: Accidental Merit
"By the way, you guys help me call Vice General Li over, I can't wait to have a laugh with him."
The soldiers moved everything they ate and drank in front of him, and Vice General He was more comfortable and chic in this supervision room than outside.
"Okay, lieutenant, wait a minute." The little soldier who spoke looked like he was drunk, and he walked a little shaky.
Vice General He looked disgusted, and directly pushed the other person, "No alcohol is allowed in the barracks, if it is found that it is a big crime, you go and call him back, you can find someone for him." ”
"Like him, it's never worry-free." This person was also very drunk when he saw it, stood up against the railing of the prison, and slapped his chest sharply, "Adjutant General, don't worry, everything is handed over to me." ”
Seeing that this person also walked out with a swaying face, Vice General He shook his head helplessly, they were not afraid of being caught, and they were so bold.
He was caught drinking in the barracks, but he was to be punished with thirty strokes of the rod and to stand for two hours, waiting for the two men to call him over, for fear that it would be dark.
Fortunately, there is wine and meat around him, and Vice General He has the kung fu to wait slowly, but he just wants to laugh with Vice General Li A lot of mood.
The heavy rain outside still didn't stop, and occasionally there was lightning and thunder, and Vice General He sat cross-legged in his chair, chewing beef jerky while looking up at the rain curtain outside. Who knew that the two soldiers who had just gone out actually came back after less than a stick of incense.
"You guys are moving so fast that no one outside notices?" Vice General He put down his things in surprise and patted the scum on his hands. The new general is inevitably too loose to lead the troops, is it possible that there is not even a single patrol and sentry in the barracks?
"Don't worry, the deputy general is all our own people outside, even if they know that we are drinking, they will not arrest us for credit." The creep blushed and looked like he had drunk a little more outside.
"Believe it or not, we've brought a lot of good wine back from outside, and they're drinking it themselves, so who cares about us."
The two of them carried a small jar of fine wine in their hands, and they staggered over and crashed directly into the prison of Vice General He. Vice General He took a step back with a slight disgust, "The smell of wine in this one, your alcohol consumption is too bad." ”
"Just these two little jars, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth." Vice General He said as he opened the lid of the wine jar and put it into his mouth.
"By the way, I didn't ask you out to bring you back, what about the others?" The entrance was mellow, completely different from the wine she had drunk before, and Vice General He vaguely felt that he was going to get drunk, so he hurriedly asked the business first.
"That's Vice General Li, we didn't see him when we went out." The little soldier also wanted to sit cross-legged, but he obviously felt lightheaded, and almost fell to the ground.
"The brothers outside also said that they hadn't seen Admiral Li for a day today, but there was so much wine, it seems that Adjutant General Li proposed to the general to give it to the brothers, saying that it was to strengthen our courage, so that we can work harder tomorrow and go up the mountain to suppress the bandits."
"The stamina of this wine is so great, it's all drunk like this, how can you still have the strength to go up the mountain." Vice General He was afraid that he would get drunk, and there were few sober people in the barracks, so he hurriedly put down the wine jar.
However, even if he can't leave tomorrow because of this, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and this new general will not do anything to everyone. It's just that Vice General He has some worries.
"However, hasn't Vice General Li always disliked charging into battle? Even when there was no war, the two armies faced each other, and I never saw the couch leave the barracks, so what's wrong with it today? ”
As he spoke, Vice General He kicked the soldier who had broken into a puddle of mud, "Hey, did he get some mission to go out, did you ask clearly?" ”
"No, I don't know." The two little soldiers lowered their heads, whispered a few words, and then collapsed to the ground, only to hear snoring in the blink of an eye.
"This group of guys, if His Royal Highness King Jing leads the troops, I think any of you would dare to be so lazy." Vice General He had a feeling of hating iron and steel, shook his somewhat confused head, closed his eyes and meditated cross-legged.
In the capital, the investigation into the sale of Goshisan is still going on in secret. In addition to Lord Hubu Shangshu Ren, who has more than enough heart and strength, Lord Jingzhao Yin Zhao, who can only blindly do things, Lord Jin and Su Jingye of the Criminal Department are also quietly helping behind the scenes.
After checking for a few days, except for a few suspicious people caught by Jing Zhaoyin, there was not even a clue.
Lord Zhao wanted to put all these people he caught in the Criminal Department to serve in the Criminal Department, and he didn't force them to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, but Lord Jin obviously felt that these people were scapegoats who were fooled, so he never agreed.
"Master Jin, when I arrested these people, they all had five stones in their hands, which can be described as conclusive evidence, and the people under my command can testify for me, why don't you allow it, could it be that you are in the same league with these people."
The two of them couldn't hold each other, and Lord Zhao finally couldn't help but say his conjecture, which made Jin Shan's eyes wide open. "Zhao Ming, what kind of bastard are you talking about!"
"Not to mention how much lower your rank is than mine, how dare you make a big statement in front of me. As far as we are both officials in the court, and we are both courtiers of His Majesty, it is just that we can't share our worries for Your Majesty, how can we still betray the court for our own selfish desires, and persuade Lord Zhao to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and those who offend him with his words will not know if he offends one day. ”
"It's good that you are speaking in front of me, if you change the adults of the other departments, tomorrow there will be countless ways to participate in your performance, and it will be presented to Your Majesty." When Jin Shan fled from the king of Nanyang, he has been aggrieved until now, and has been ridiculed by everyone repeatedly.
Now that there is finally a place to vent, Zhao Ming was immediately scolded bloody.
"My lord, the lower officials also hope to solve the case as soon as possible." Zhao Ming helplessly wiped the saliva from Jin Shan on his face, restrained Fang Cai's commanding tone, and persuaded with a little pleading, "Even if these people are not accomplices, they must have a connection with that group of masterminds behind the scenes, Lord Jin should not be too merciful at this time." ”
"Besides, for such a major event that may shake the foundation of the country, it is natural that it would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. Besides, this is the only clue we have in our hands, how can we just let it go. ”
Hearing his obviously slowed tone, Jin Shan snorted coldly and slapped the paperweight on the bookcase on the table, "Even so, isn't your yamen's prison enough, you have to be locked up in the criminal department." ”
"I originally wanted to send them to the Criminal Department for torture, maybe I could ask something, but since Lord Jin didn't agree, I had to give up." Zhao Ming said, finding that Jin Shan's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly added.
"Actually, it's mainly because the prisons in the yamen are not enough, and my court regulations stipulate that a maximum of ten prisoners can be held in a room, but there is no such provision in the criminal department, so the lower officials have to send people to adults."
"Although there are not many cells in the Yamen, there has not been any turmoil in the capital except for this incident," Jin Shan thought about it for a moment and raised his head in surprise, "How many people have you arrested, and even the cells are not enough." ”
"It is also the duty of the lower officials." Zhao Ming smiled and gave it up, in fact, he was just too lazy to ask his subordinates to take care of these prisoners, it was too troublesome to manage their eating, drinking, and Lazar every day, so he casually found a reason and handed it to Jin Shan, who knew that Jin Shan believed it.
"Okay, when you can't find out, you'll naturally let people go." Jin Shan shook his head and took out a bunch of keys from the drawer of his desk and handed them over.
"You can find a few cells for yourself, and remember to return the key to me later."
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Ming held the key, smiled and turned to leave.
When the matter at hand is dealt with, Zhao Ming comes out of the criminal department, there is a long road outside the gate, and there is a towering and dense old tree growing at the end of the road.
Zhao Ming patted his sleeves, and just as he was about to board his carriage, he saw a person dressed as a small guy running out from behind the big tree.
"Lord Zhao, please come with me, we want to see you."
Zhao Ming was suspicious when he heard this, and followed him to the back of the big tree, only to see a carriage parked behind the tree, and it was Li Wensong, the secretary of the military department, who was sitting in the car.
"It turned out to be Lord Li, why did you call the subordinate over like this?" Zhao Ming stood under the carriage, and Li Wensong half-squatted and moved two steps forward, leaning on the side of the carriage door to talk to him.
"Lord Zhao, I don't know if the official gave you a good idea?"
"Thanks to Master Li's suggestion, it's much easier for me now." Zhao Minglang smiled and spread his hands, as if he was a lot more comfortable.
"Lord Zhao has arrested so many people, not to mention that it is very inconvenient to manage, and it is also very easy to cause commotion in the capital. If you lock everyone up in one place, it is even easier to arouse suspicion, so it is better to let Lord Jin share a little for you, or to dispel some rumors that are not conducive to the imperial court. ”
Li Wensong said it soundingly, and Zhao Ming nodded very approvingly, "Lord Li is thoughtful and considerate. ”
"It's just that I don't know, Lord Zhao has locked up your group of prisoners in the prison department, if it is in the wrong place, and Lord Jin doesn't know them, if it really goes to the punishment, it will be a big problem."
"Don't worry, Lord Li, the prisoners in the Criminal Department are all locked up in the cells on the north side, so I went to the south side and arranged a few good places for them to bask in the sun." Zhao Ming didn't hear that he was deliberately inquiring, but instead told everything in one go.
"If that's the case, that's great." Li Wensong smiled deeply, "This capital has been so peaceful until now, thanks to Lord Zhao's unremitting efforts." Lord Zhao is afraid that he still has a lot of things to do today, so this official will not bother much. ”
"Lord Li is polite, this is what the lower officials should do." Zhao Ming stood there proudly, watching Master Li's carriage leave blankly.
