Reading guide: Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin both came to see Wang Rui, but Tuan Ding not only did not want to return, but was also ridiculed by Lord Wang. It can be said that you come in a hurry and return in defeat.

Wang Rui did this, obviously to kill the prestige of the group practice.

Knowing that Zeng Guofan had arrived in Hengzhou, Zhao Danian panicked, but Wang Zhixian was not in a hurry.

Hunan officialdom is clearly going to have a good show to perform.

After Peng Yulin got the newly selected anti-ground fence burned down and the guard group was thrown into prison by the magistrate, he first rode into the county seat and hurried into the county seat to communicate to Liu Changyou.

Liu Changyou did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he sent a fast horse into the province to report to Zeng Guofan, and on the other hand, together with Peng Yulin, he took fifty personal soldiers to the county government to find Wang Rui's dignitaries. According to Liu Changyou's plan, no matter what is right or wrong, the top priority is to get people back first.

Knowing that Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin had come to the county office, Wang Rui ordered people to be promoted to the court, and on the other hand, he brought the two Xiangyong out of prison and knelt down in the hall for trial, and on the other hand, he invited Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin into the court. Wang Rui's intention to do this is self-evident, and he wants to do business.

When he arrived at the front of the hall, Liu Changyou met with Wang Rui with the etiquette of meeting Shangxian. Peng Yulin had no choice but to claim that his student had made a big gift to Wang Rui because of his fame.

After the ceremony, Wang Rui asked Liu Changyou to sit down, but ignored Peng Yulin. Peng Yulin couldn't and didn't want to worry too much, so he had to stand by Liu Changyou's side.

Wang Rui asked: "Lord Liu, this county is about to be promoted to the court to ask the case, what are you doing when you are old?" ”

Liu Changyou pointed to the Tuan Ding who was kneeling in front of the hall with his finger and said: "Parents are gentle, the lower officials are here, and they are here to lead people." ”

Wang Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Liu is talking about the two of them?" You can't take these two people away. They have committed a great crime, and this county is going to punish them severely! ”

Peng Yulin asked at this time: "The student wants to ask his parents to make it clear, what crime did the two of them commit?" Could it be that the fence of the ground was burned by the two of them? ”

Wang Rui said with a smile: "You are a talented person who has been dismissed from your fame, and this county can be kind to let you stand and speak, which is already exalting you." You'd better keep your mouth shut as soon as possible, so as not to make me angry. ”

Liu Changyou hurriedly got up and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Peng is a member of the errand committee of the Minister of League Training, Lord Zeng, even if he doesn't act according to the eight-rank military merits, it will not be wrong to stand and talk to you." On this point, the Issuance Examination Bureau has long had an official document. ”

As soon as Wang Rui heard this, he hurriedly asked people to check the official documents issued by the Examination Bureau within two months.

After a while, a master took the official document he found and handed it to Wang Rui.

Wang Rui squinted his eyes twice and read the official document, and suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, it's really an eight-rank military merit." But the county is sluggish. Come and give Peng Bapin a seat. Wang Rui called Peng Yulin like this, which was not just frivolous, but obviously mocking.

Someone quickly set up a wooden chair. Peng Yulin thanked him and sat down.

Wang Rui said: "The group training is used to suppress thieves, not to disturb the people. Regarding this point, the group training has long been made clear. This county was ordered by the prefect's yamen to go to work, and these two things that don't know the height of the sky dare to stop it! Is this worth it? This county must be dealt with again! ”

At this time, a group member said loudly: "The villain is wronged! The villain was ordered by Lord Peng to guard the camp, and when his parents arrived at the camp, they pulled out the fence and burned it together. How dare the villain not step forward to stop him? If the villain doesn't stop him, how can he explain to Master Peng? ”

Wang Rui shouted: "What a bold dog thing!" This county is talking to Lord Liu, how can you interject! Come on, give Ben the mouth of his dog's stuff! ”

Liu Changyou hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please calm your anger." Tuan Ding is not sensible, you should never be like him. Xia Guan just wants to ask the adults: What kind of obstacle did the group training camp chosen by Master Peng hinder the place? ”

Wang Rui said: "This county is acting on orders, whether there is any obstacle to the place, the two adults will know when they go to the prefect's yamen." How does the county know? ”

Peng Yulin forcibly suppressed his anger, got up and said, "Your Excellency, the camp that the students chose to garrison is completely in accordance with what Master Zeng indicated. The selected camps are all deserted, barren slopes, and far from the villages. In case of inconvenience to the people. ”

Wang Rui said: "What you said is good. However, if you want to garrison a large number of regiments in this county, no matter what, you should inform this county. Now it's good that the local people have come to the prefect's yamen! Do you make it difficult for the county? This matter, the county is afraid that Lord Zeng will misunderstand, and has already reported to the governor's yamen. Let's all wait for the governor's yamen's approval. Wang Rui said this, and pointed to the unconvinced Tuan Ding who was kneeling under the hall and said: "These two dogs who obstruct official business, this county must not be spared!" After the two of you go back, you should also warn the battalion management belts that you must restrain the regiment members and don't make trouble indiscriminately. Otherwise, the board of this county does not have eyes. If you have nothing else to do, please go back to your home camp on an errand. Here in this county, there are still cases to ask. ”

Wang Rui stood up with a smile, arched his hand slightly, and said, "This county is on official business, so I will not send it off." ”

Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin had no choice but to get up and withdraw after giving a salute.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the yamen, the screams of the group came from inside. Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin were both stunned.

Zeng Guofan's sedan car arrived in Hengyang in the middle of the night.

Zeng Guofan saw that the county town was quiet and very quiet, so he ordered someone to choose a post to live in first, and then go to the regiment to practice the yamen after dawn.

Hengzhou is the most unquiet province in Hunan. However, because after Liu Changyou arrived, the regiment was well defended and properly deployed, and now it is the calmest area in Hunan.

About two quarters of an hour, a team of Xiangyong armed will walk through the block, and the sound of bangzi will also come and go, which is very peaceful.

When Zeng Guofan saw this scene, he couldn't help but add a little more trust and importance to Liu Changyou.

The sky is about to dawn, and the east is still a hazy white light, Zeng Guofan has already taken his own military camp into the gate of the minister of Hengzhou regimental training.

Hearing the report, after a short time, Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin each brought their attachés to greet them.

At breakfast, Zeng Guofan briefly asked the two about what happened.

After the meal, after a short rest, Zeng Guofan, together with Liu Changyou and Peng Yulin, under the protection of the two sentinels, came to the Zhixian Yamen in a sedan chair.

When Zeng Guofan set off from the regimental training yamen, he first sent someone to the prefect's yamen to invite Zhao Danian to the county hall for questioning.

Knowing that Zeng Guofan had arrived in Hengzhou, Zhao Danian was taken aback, and he didn't have time for breakfast, so he hurriedly took a sedan chair to the yamen of Zhixian County. Because it was too early, Zhao Danian only brought two subordinate officials and four officials with him.

Zeng Guofan and others arrived at the gate of the county government, and they had already been informed in advance by their own soldiers.

But Wang Rui was not in a panic, first combed his braids, put on official uniforms, and passed on the county officials and the arrest hall to all the officials, so he took them and greeted them out of the yamen in an orderly manner.

After the ceremony, Wang Rui invited Zeng Guofan, Liu Changyou, and Peng Yulin into the lobby to sit down.

When Xiao Fusi, Wang Rui and others walked into the yamen, they distributed their soldiers outside the gate and inside the second gate of the county ya. Zeng Guofan suffered a big loss in Hengzhou, and Xiao Fusi couldn't help but be extra careful. (End of chapter)
