Chapter Ninety-Two: Suspicion
Xu Qingchen bowed, knocked on the leader's order, and took a talisman.
As soon as Fang came out of this garden, as soon as the cold wind blew, he found that his underwear behind him was still soaked.
"My lord, beware of the rain."
A henchman next to him came over with a paper umbrella.
Xu Qingchen came back to his senses, didn't say much, put on his own robe, brought a hat, and went straight to the stable with people.
When he arrived at the stable, he chose a few horses, and went directly to the military camp north of the city.
The barracks were heavily guarded, and some soldiers said:
"Who dares to break into the barracks?"
Xu Qingchen turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to his henchmen, stepped forward first, and showed the tiger talisman:
"On the orders of Marquis Wu, come and transfer troops!"
Several small soldiers did not dare to slack off, and one person went to pass the word.
Soon, Wu Jie, the commander of the military camp here, arrived.
"Xu Qingchen, you ·······"
He knew Xu Qingchen.
Xu Qingchen said solemnly:
"I have the command of the lord, do you want me to speak here?"
Wu Jie was excited, and hurriedly shouted:
"That can't be, quick, come in with me."
Xu Qingchen asked the rest of the people to wait outside and entered the barracks alone.
Because he has a tiger talisman on his body, no one dares to search his body.
Of course, in the barracks, Wu Jie is a military general, and it is impossible to be afraid of a civil servant.
Wu Jie invited him to a quiet room in the barracks.
It had been raining outside for days, the twilight was dark, and candles were already lit inside.
"Qingchen, what does the lord command?"
After Xu Qingchen took his seat, he looked at Wu Jie, waved his hand, and did not answer first, but asked rhetorically:
"Commander Wu, are you the commander of the Zhen family, or the commander of the lord?"
Wu Jie was about to jump up in shock, his right hand unconsciously put on his waist, and he looked like he was about to draw his sword and swing it.
Xu Qingchen sat still, but his eyes were faint, as if a cold light was shooting out.
Wu Jie's heart was cold, as if a handful of cold water was poured on his head, and then gradually calmed down.
He frowned tightly and walked around the room, sweating profusely in a hurry, almost thinking that the matter of accepting bribes from the Zhen family had been revealed.
"I ······· He is the general of the lord! ”
"Qingchen, you can't talk nonsense····· I've always been loyal to my lord, those ······· Those are all entertainment. ”
He panicked, and he was a little speechless.
It must be known that over the years, he has done a lot of private things for the Zhen family.
Of course, there are also a lot of benefits.
If he is really liquidated, he will definitely not be able to escape.
was so ruthless in his heart that he even thought of the intention of killing people and killing people.
But when he turned his head, he saw that Xu Qingchen didn't squint, but he was holding the tiger talisman in his hand, constantly playing with it, and he seemed to be smiling on his face.
This spirit died down in an instant.
Although Wu Hou is old, his authority is still there.
Accepting bribes is no more than beheading, and if you can't rebel, you will be implicated in the nine clans in a blink of an eye.
Moreover, he was not alone in accepting bribes in this army.
The law doesn't blame the public······ No matter how angry Wu Hou is, he can't seriously behead so many generals in one go, at most, that is, he will be dismissed and investigated.
It's not going to get to that point.
Rebellion is not fun, and the more scruples people have, the less they will choose easily.
Wu Jie immediately put on a smiling face, and sat down next to Xu Qingchen:
"This······ Qingchen······· When your father was here, he was also my comrade, and you were also the one I grew up seeing when I was a child. ”
"Although you didn't mix with the army later, but you also came out of our Northern Army in the end, I will trust you to be an uncle according to your generation."
"Can you tell me······ Isn't it, is there room for this? ”
Xu Qingchen's heart, which had been carrying it all along, was also relieved.
Don't look at him as calm as a mountain, but in fact, he is pretending.
Entering the barracks alone, it looks easy, but in fact, he is only half sure.
The Zhen family in Jiangnan has always been anti-minded, and it has great influence in Jinling, especially when it is intertwined, and no one knows who the Zhen family is.
Even Wu Hou wanted to move the Zhen family many times, but he was very afraid after all, and he didn't dare to do it easily.
If it weren't for the fact that among the four major families, the Jia family, which had many connections in the military, had now fallen and migrated out, and Dayan had perished, Wu Hou might not really be able to make up his mind to get rid of such a tumor.
Xu Qingchen let his henchmen go out and did not enter the barracks, which was a layer of defense.
In addition to this, he has henchmen waiting in several places.
If it is true that this Wu Jie has been bought by the Zhen family, and he can't go back, his henchmen will definitely be able to send a message back according to the prior agreement.
At that time, he died and died, but Wu Hou was able to react in time, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness for many years, and did not tarnish the prestige of his father········
Fortunately, everything has not developed to the point of being out of control, perhaps because he was born in the army and was blessed by the father of General Huwei in the past·········
Xu Qingchen thanked his father again for his protection, and also smiled:
"Uncle Wu, where did you think of it?"
"Your idea is just human nature, and everyone understands the conventions in this army."
"The lord has to worry about this, and it won't be this time, he has already thought about it."
When these words came out, Wu Jie's heart settled down a little.
It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not·········
Seriously, it is common for the army to eat empty salaries and drink soldiers' blood.
The longer the peace, the easier it is to erosify in the army.
Wu Jie thinks that he still has some bottom lines in doing things.
Although he said that he ate empty pay and drank the blood of soldiers, it was not excessive.
At least the soldiers under his command can get seventy percent of the salary, and the soldiers are all young and strong, and the number is roughly right.
As far as he knew, in some counties and counties, less than half of the soldiers actually had soldiers, and eighty percent of the military salaries were deducted.
What's more, in some remote areas, the county lieutenant can call the county soldiers as slaves.
In comparison, his little is really nothing.
At least, at least he still has the combat power here.
Only then did Wu Jie feel that he was making a big fuss and his mind was opened.
"Then tell me, the lord asked you to come, not to take me, what is the matter?"
He was a little curious.
Since it wasn't to take him down and ask him for the crime, what was the matter, he had to come overnight and make it so secretive.
He picked up the unfinished tea on the table, brought it to his lips, and blew a few sips.
The next moment, Xu Qingchen's words came into his ears.
"Uncle Wu, the Zhen family wants to rebel."
Wu Jie's hand shook, and the tea splashed on his chest.
These words are like an earth-shattering shock, and they are really going to frighten people to death.
"The Zhen family is extremely powerful, and there are more than 20,000 salt workers in the salt field, once there is chaos, it will be a big disaster in an instant."
"In order to prevent this incident, the lord ordered me to secretly mobilize reliable manpower, set off in the starry night, and went straight to the Zhen family's ancestral house!"
"In addition to Uncle Wu, there are also arrangements elsewhere, scattering and raiding the Zhen family's properties everywhere, and we must catch them ·········all."
