In the conference hall, there was silence, and everyone was sitting precariously, thinking about their own thoughts, and looking forward to it from time to time.

After a while, they saw Nian Zheng just striding in front of the door of the council hall.

Before Nian Zheng came in, everyone got up to meet him and said in unison: "General." ”

Nian Zhenggang waved his hand casually, entered the conference hall, sat on the main seat, looked at everyone like electricity, and said, "Okay, all sit." ”

Everyone sat down, and Nian Zhenggang spoke again: "Tell me, what are you gathered here for today?" ”

Nian Zhenggang retired from the army in his early years, and he was idle as a protector general in the court, and never directly managed military affairs.

Although he found an idle errand in the court, the military power has never been left behind by others, and the military affairs are basically handed over to his sons.

When I came to the General's Mansion to find him this time, almost all of them were officers in charge of the quartermaster's reserve, and there was no need to ask more, their arrival showed that there was a problem with the quartermaster's reserve.

The young official on the left said: "The sudden death of King Zhao has caused us great trouble, and I am afraid that the military salary promised to Shicheng in the early days will be put on hold with his death. The lowly officials were worried that they would not be able to reserve military supplies for the winter in time, so they asked the general to think of a way to see if he could allocate the military pay as soon as possible. ”

In the early days, for the sake of this 10 million taels of military salary, they almost tried their best to get King Zhao to agree to decentralize. It's good now, he is a hundred dead, but with such a large amount of military salaries, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture do not dare to directly allocate them.

Shicheng is a hole that is not filled, and the silver required every year is almost one-third of the national treasury, and every time they are paid, it is handled by King Zhao.

Although the amount is huge, Shicheng is a place that Nian Zhenggang cares about very much, and the soldiers will take root there, even if they are not satisfied with the holes, he naturally reaches out to the imperial court to ask for military salaries.

Nian Zhenggang said: "The situation over there in Shicheng is very serious? ”

Just some time ago, there was a large-scale riot in Shicheng, the local people said that they enclosed the land to raise soldiers, occupied the farmland and did not give them a way to live, united the people to trigger a series of actions, the soldiers suppressed in time, and the folds reported to the court were detained by his people, which did not alarm the emperor.

"I don't dare to deceive the general, the situation in Shicheng is quite grim, the soldiers are almost unclothed, hungry, and urgently need a batch of military rescue."

Of course, there is some exaggeration in the words, but considering the civil strife that occurred in Stone City, the situation of being unclothed and hungry is not a lie.

Nian Zhenggang glanced at them coldly, his face was full of gloom, and he was not angry and arrogant: "What's the use of raising you, you can't do this little thing, you know all day long that you reach out and ask for money, those Diao people have three heads and six arms, and you haven't leveled it for half a year, and now you still have the face to say that the situation is critical!" ”

The general broke off his drink, which frightened everyone's hearts, and they knew that they could not escape the blame, so they stood up one after another and bowed their heads to hear the interrogation.

His soldiers are useless, but those rebels who rebel are even more hateful, and they can't be merciful when they don't know what to do or what is bad, and if they don't teach them a bloody lesson, they don't know how to be a good citizen who keeps his duty!

"The matter of military salaries will be handled by someone."

Nian Zhenggang's eyes swept over their faces, and he said coldly: "The rebellion in Shicheng will give you another half a month, and within half a month, no matter what means you use, this matter must be quelled." Even if the city is slaughtered, a group of people who dare to use their own soldiers are looking for death. ”

A death order, listening to everyone's hearts tremble, even if they know that the general loves soldiers, but killing people for the sake of soldiers, even at the expense of slaughtering the city, this is inevitably ruthless and cold-blooded!

The current Nian Zhenggang is no longer the grandfather who was still joking with his little granddaughter just now, but an iron-blooded general with cruel means.

At this moment, everyone was extremely glad that they were the general's subordinates.

One of them clasped his fists and said, "Yes, the humble post will immediately set off for Stone City and convey the general's meaning to them." ”

Nian Zhenggang nodded: "Okay, don't waste time with me, go back and do your own thing." ”

"Retire from your duties."

"The last will be retired."

Everyone tensed their nerves and was relieved to hear this, saluted the general, and withdrew from the council hall one after another.

Until Nian Zhenggang was left alone in the conference hall, Lin Hu, the deputy general who was outside, walked in and reported: "General, the sixth master has come to greet you, and he is outside now." ”

"Let him in."

Nian Fang had already heard the old man's words outside, and as soon as the words fell, he appeared in the conference hall.

Reciting the release salute: "The child greets the father." ”

Nian Zhenggang said in a deep voice: "I heard, you didn't come back last night?" Why, the capital government is very busy these days, and he doesn't even have time to go home? ”

Nian Fang was his youngest son and the only one of the brothers who did not join the team.

There are too many generals in the family, and Nian Zhenggang hopes that a child can gain a foothold in the court, so that attacking both inside and outside will be of great help to the forces of the Nian family.

Therefore, over the years, Nian Zhenggang has put in no less effort than his brothers.

Last night, the family who went to find him said that he was not in the mansion, but went to Dongfang Street and other places to play and have fun.

Today, Nian Zheng just knew that it was at that time that Mo Hongyuan died on Dongfang Street, and happened to be bumped into by Nian Fang, who took down his murderer and sent his body back to the house, which delayed the work of coming back.

Xu is old and thinks about a lot of things, Nian Zhenggang always feels that King Zhao's death is strange, and the place where the crime occurred and the place where Nian Fang is staying are inevitably too close!

As for what's wrong with the whole thing, he hasn't figured it out yet?

"The child didn't play outside, because he saw King Zhao killed and caught the murderer, so he was interrogated all night, and he came back late. It happened suddenly, and I forgot to send someone back to inform the family, so that the father would worry, whether it was the child. ”

Nian Fang thought that Nian Zhenggang didn't know that he came back late for business, so he told him what happened last night, 1510.

In the end, he said angrily: "I hate that murderer's bones are too hard, no matter how we torture him, he just doesn't say the reason for killing King Zhao, or even a word." ”

"Oh! It's a man. ”

Nian Zhenggang had a different opinion from him, although he didn't know what the murderer was for killing people, but being able to target Mo Hongyuan was enough to show that this murderer was not simple!

On the other hand, the gang of people in the Metropolitan Government are too useless:

"Since you haven't asked any useful clues, isn't it the same as Xiao Wubo, another headless public case? Look at your all the mansions, there are constant murders, what are you doing to eat, wine bags and rice bags! ”

Nian Fang was very unconvinced, and the father would not know anything, so he concluded that he had gained nothing and was unfair to him.

Nian Fang said: "Although the murderer said every word, the child already knew his identity. ”

Nian Zhenggang said: "He didn't speak, how did you know his identity?" Could it be that he has something special on him that symbolizes his identity? No, since you came out to kill people, you shouldn't be stupid enough to use your own things to expose your identity! ”

Why not? Some people think that they don't believe that they will be arrested for murder, so they confess to prison!

After reading the belly, he said: "Father will guess correctly, and the murderer's sword exposed his identity." Chopping the sword, the first master of the Tianyun Dynasty, Qianyan, used this sword as a self-defense weapon, and he didn't expect me to appear there when he killed people, so he didn't have time to run, and finally fell into my hands. ”

Nian Zhenggang thought that something was wrong with his ears, and he heard it wrong: "You said that he is the number one master of the Tianyun Dynasty, Qianxuan?" ”

"Exactly!"

Nian Zhenggang laughed, the laughter was strange, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Nian Fang didn't understand what he was laughing at, he beat a drum in his heart, and before he could think clearly, he heard Nian Zhenggang say again: "Go to Guan Mu and get twenty military sticks, you will stay at home for the past two days, don't go anywhere." ”

"Ahh

Nian Fang didn't know why he looked at Nian Zhenggang, but his father had already slowly walked out of the council hall with his hands behind his back, and Lin Hu followed, leaving him with a stunned face in the end!
