Summary: Qing Detong led the co-bid to intercept the prisoner car, claiming that he wanted to take the prisoner away, and he had no fear; Observing the order to act and reprimand the military attache for being unreasonable, and not allowing the green battalion to violate the rules and disorder, he was rebent.

Three masked men suddenly rushed down the hill and flew into the prisoner cart; Bao Chunting rose up to catch up with the death row prisoner, and the eagle spread its wings.

A flag flashed out......

Qingde followed the prestige, and the person who came was none other than Bao Chao and Bao Chunting, who were wearing the official uniforms of the Xiangyong Battalion.

Seeing Bao Chao's arrogant appearance, Qing Dedeng was furious, and pointed with the horsewhip in his hand and said: "Who is coming, why don't you get off the horse when you see this association?" So bold! ”

Bao Chao stepped forward on the horse, bowed down on the horse and said: "The battalion officer of the Xiangyong Tingzi Battalion is humble Bao Chao has seen Lord Xietai. I am in a lowly position, and it is inconvenient to dismount, and I hope that my lord will forgive me. ”

Qingde snorted with his nose and said, "Bao Chao, this association wants to ask Li Dusi, you should escort the prisoner car over quickly." The Association is inspecting the defense affairs on the orders of the military gate and Futai, and there is no time to delay. ”

Bao Chao arched his hand and said: "Lord Xietai is tolerant, but if the lowly function is the master, the lowly position will definitely be done." But the matter that the lord commanded, he could not do the master. I hope that adults will understand. ”

Qingde was about to get angry, but Xiangyong shouted.

Qingde and Bao Chao were all shocked.

Qingde looked up and looked north, and Bao Chao hurriedly turned his horse's head.

But he saw three masked men, all riding red horses, rushing down from the nearby mountains like arrows, and in an instant they came to the side of the wooden cage prisoner cart.

The speed of the three horses was too fast, and Xiang Yong, who was escorting the car, was caught off guard, and was rushed to dodge one after another, and shouted together.

Just when Xiang Yong next to the prisoner car was at a loss, Zao Hongma suddenly flew up and jumped on the prisoner cart, his axe fell, and in the blink of an eye, he split the wooden cage that was not strong, stretched out his hand and pulled up Li Dusi, jumped up, impartially, and fell on the horse.

Bao Chao saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly hit his horse and pounced.

Without a quarter of an hour, the three horses spread six pairs of hooves and ran up the hill like lightning. Xiang Yong's shouting intensified, he had the intention to let go of the gun, but he had no constitutional order to rely on.

Bao Chao didn't dare to slack off, and led people to chase after him, and when he saw that the distance was approaching, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed over from the side.

Bao Chao was flustered, raised his gun and wanted to release it, but he was afraid of hurting the officers and soldiers and his own people.

Bao Chao hurriedly looked at the flag, and it was clearly a big bid to raise the standard.

At this time, surrounded by many military attachés, the first general slowly walked from the back road. The one will be dressed in a unicorn supplement, wearing a bright red top, and a flower feather shaking in the wind, which is very good-looking. It's not anyone, it's Bao Qibao, the governor of Hunan who rarely goes out of the city.

Seeing that it was Admiral Bao Qibao, Bao Chao did not dare to disobey, hurriedly dismounted, and ran forward to salute and say goodbye.

Bao Qibao yawned, raised his whip and asked, "You are a group practitioner, what are you doing here?" Could it be that you're also doing it here? How did Benti not see Zeng? ”

Bao Chao took a step back and replied: "Back to the military gate for questioning, I am escorting the prisoners to the court for execution on the orders of Lord Zeng. ”

Bao Qibao sighed, and said after a long time: "It turned out that he was on official business." I met with Master Zeng, and asked Ben a good question. ”

After Bao Qibao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Bao Chao to reply, and was surrounded by people. Bao Qibao was followed by a team of horses, and after the team of horses were infantry. A full hour passed. This one is because the road is narrow, and the other is that it is too slow.

Seeing the standard brigade walking away, Bao Chao hurriedly flew on the horse, looking for the three fast horses, how could there be any shadow?

Bao Chao was so angry that he beat his chest and shouted: "Lord Zeng was afraid of an accident, so he was escorted to the camp alone, but he still ran away!" ”

Seeing that Bao Chao was so annoyed that he couldn't do it, the left sentry chief said at this time: "This is obviously a set that has been designed a long time ago, leading us to drill." When did Lord Junmen ever go out of the city? He's out of the city today! According to his humble position, even if Lord Zeng personally escorts the prisoner today, it is difficult to ensure that he will not run away! ”

Bao Chao looked at the sky blankly, and said with a bitter face: "My lord is afraid of accidents, and he has repeatedly explained to me, so I must be careful and not careless。。 Now that it's like this, how do I go back and make a difference? How to deal with adults? How to deal with the people of the city? ”

At this time, the two alternate Dao of the prison beheader also came here and said to Bao Chao: "Obviously, they made the button, just to get the prisoner away!" It's good now, Qing Xietai took another bite, saying that we lost Dusi and took people into the city to find Futai to complain! Officer Bao Ying, let's hurry back and hand over the errand. It's too late, maybe the Qing Association will make up some nonsense that is unfavorable to Lord Zeng. ”

Bao Chao woke up suddenly, hurriedly passed the order, and the back team changed into the front team, and quickly returned to the city to pay the order.

What the people of Changsha feared most turned out to be a reality. Zeng Guofan, the well-known minister of regimental training, really failed to cut off the head of Li Dusi.

Looking at Xiang Yong, who was returning to the city, the people were very angry, some spitting, and some deliberately said loudly: "A dead man can't stand it, what's the use of keeping him in such a group exercise?" Disband! If you have the money to buy a pig baby, you won't donate it to the group again! ”

Bao Chao was so angry that he cried, but he couldn't have a seizure, and he bit out blood from his gums.

Since the establishment of the Issuance Examination Bureau, it has never lost such a big face. Bao Chao has the heart to die.

After listening to the narration of the two alternate Daoists and Bao Chao, Zeng Guofan immediately sent someone to prepare a sedan chair, and went to the governor's yamen with the king's order.

Goshha, who was standing guard outside the governor's yamen, saw Zeng Guofan's gloomy and unsightly face, and he tried to break inside, but he didn't dare to stop him, and let Zeng Guofan squint his eyes and walked in.

Xiao Fusi stayed outside the gate with his own soldiers.

Luo Bingzhang was in the signing room at this time, listening to Admiral Bao Qibao's report on the situation of the exercise and the matter of Qingde's patrol.

There was hot tea in front of the three of them, Luo Bingzhang sat on the kang, and Bao Qibao and Qingde sat on two wooden chairs on the ground.

Zeng Guofan stepped through the door.

Seeing Zeng Guofan's face full of anger, Luo Bingzhang said while getting off the kang: "Lord Zeng, why are you here?" ”

When Bao Qibao and Qingde saw Zeng Guofan, they both stood up separately and bowed to Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan put the king's order on the table, ignored Luo Bingzhang, turned around and said coldly to Qingde, who had just sat down: "Qingde, you did a good thing!" If you don't make your words clear today, don't think about stepping out of the governor's yamen for half a step! ”

Luo Bingzhang, who had just gotten off the ground, was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zeng, what's wrong with you?" You sit down and rest your feet. Come on, serve tea to Lord Zeng! ”

Luo Bingzhang asked Qingde again: "Qing Xietai, what happened?" ”

Bao Qibao also got up and tilted his head and asked loudly: "Qing Xietai, how did you make Zeng Daren like this?" Bentishen has reprimanded you more than once, how can you not listen? You quickly make amends to Lord Zeng, otherwise Benti will not spare you! Soldiers bravely defend the same city, how can they make trouble! Bao Qibao's words are high-sounding, and people can't fault them. Bao Qibao sat back in place after speaking.

Qingde got up at this time and said to Luo Bingzhang: "Futai Rongyu, when I returned to the city from my humble patrol, I met Xiang Yong escorting Li Dusi of this association and going to the court to ask for a knife. Seeing that the incident started suddenly, he thought that it was the time to use the troops, and he was afraid that the Issuance and Examination Bureau would accidentally injure a good general, so he stopped and wanted to ask what was going on. Unexpectedly, a few fast horses came at this time, rescued Li Dusi and ran away. The humble duty was afraid that Lord Zeng would suspect that the humble duty intended to shield the inferior people, so he hurriedly led the troops to chase after him. The person who rescued him was extremely skilled, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, Lord Zeng really misunderstood the humble position! ”

At this time, a pro-soldier came in with tea.

Luo Bingzhang asked Zeng Guofan to change his clothes and ascend to the kang, and said to Bao Qibao and Qingde, who was seated: "You two go back to the camp first." The Ministry and Mr. Zeng would like to discuss a few things individually. ”

As soon as the two heard this, they hurriedly got up, saying that "they will retire first", and without waiting for Zeng Guofan to speak, they pushed the door and walked out.

Zeng Guofan glanced at Luo Bingzhang dissatisfied, frowned and said: "Lord Futai, look at today's situation, if the Changsha Association does not rectify, it will make a big deal in the future!" Disheng is really worried about you! ”

Luo Bingzhang asked in a low voice, "Disheng, what happened today?" Listen to me in detail. ”

Zeng Guofan took a sip of tea and said with a sad face: "According to the observation of the two prisoners and Chun Ting's return, the prisoner car was not far out of the city, and it was intercepted by Qingde and others, refusing to give way. Qingde kept saying that he wanted to seek justice for the co-bid, and he also scolded the Issuance and Examination Bureau, leaving the bandits alone, but arresting the co-bid and beheading! Observing and explaining to him in every possible way, not only did he not listen, but he also ordered a cannon mount and gun to snatch people away! Qingde claimed, who dares to stop it, shoot and kill! Not only did he ignore me, the minister of regimental training, but even the governor's yamen and the country's royal law were also regarded as nothing! Qingde has been going on like this for a long time, how can you get it! ”

Luo Bingzhang asked in surprise: "Could it be that the prisoner was really snatched by Qingde?" Qingde said that the prisoner escaped and had nothing to do with him! ”

Zeng Guofan said: "Taking advantage of the gap when Bao Chao left the prisoner car and went to the front to greet Qingde, the prisoner Li Dusi was robbed by three masked men!" ”

Luo Bingzhang was stunned: "Masked man? Could it be..? ”

Zeng Guofan said: "It must be the one who cooperates with the bid!" I was afraid that I would recognize him, so I covered my face and pretended to be a Jianghu person. Don't try to hide such tricks. ”

Luo Bingzhang said: "There are only three of them, how can he rob people under the noses of hundreds of Xiangyong?" Spread it out, isn't the group practice too useless? ”

Zeng Guofan sighed and said, "It seems that the Xiang Yong that has been trained so hard is probably really useless!" But if Bao Qibao hadn't come out halfway to make a fuss, not only would the prisoners not be able to escape, but even the robbers would have been captured. ”

Luo Bingzhang was stunned for a second time: "You mean, Bao Qibao also went?" Didn't he mention it? ”

Zeng Guofan said: "Bao Chao led people to chase the fugitives, and he was about to catch up, but he was suddenly cut off by the people who raised the standard. After Bao Chao met Bao Qibao, the fugitive had already walked away. This is clearly a set of deliberately set up by the two standards of the mention and the association that have long been colluded. Luo Futai, I personally think that it doesn't matter if the regimental training is done or not, and whether I, the minister of regimental training, has it or not does not hinder the overall situation, but you, the old governor, can't resign if you want to. When using soldiers, soldiers can be brave and provocative. If the soldiers and the people are incompatible, and the soldiers and the government are incompatible, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Luo Bingzhang pondered Zeng Guofan's words while drinking tea.

Zeng Guofan got up and said: "Disheng is going to return to the Examination Bureau to play Ming, now that the Cantonese bandits are raging in Anhui and Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei are no longer the focus of their troops, Disheng can return to his hometown and guard filial piety with peace of mind." If Xiang Yong can stay, he will stay, and if he doesn't want to stay, Futai can be abolished. ”

Seeing Zeng Guofan say this, Luo Bingzhang was stunned for the third time. (End of chapter)
