Pingjiang Bo is an ancient title, and the beginning of the lineage can be traced back more than 500 years.

Chen Xuan, the first Pingjiang Bo, was born as a military general, and at the end of the Battle of Jingnan, he led the sailors to surrender and received the Yan army into the city, so he was knighted. After that, Chen Xuan was mainly engaged in water conservancy work, rectified the Cao Yun, and presided over the construction of the Tianjin Acropolis.

The tenth generation of Pingjiang Bo Chen Zhi'an in the first year of Chongzhen raided the lord, the change of Jiashen when the Shun army broke the city, after the Qing army entered the customs, the Shun army was defeated and fled, Chen Zhi'an and his family members mostly died in the chaos, his youngest son and a small number of family members escaped with the letter, and traveled in Beizhili and Shanxi, incognito for more than ten years.

In the end, when Emperor Shizu reorganized the rivers and mountains, the youngest son asked several times to restore the title of Earl of Pingjiang, and finally dragged on for two years before he could barely get the royal approval, but the food was cut in half to 500 stones.

In modern times, the children of the Pingjiang Bofu family have not achieved much, and they have done nothing, only at the turn of the century, there was a well-known architect who presided over the design of the famous opera house in Shanghai - Loulan Grand Theater.

The main industries of Bofu are the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry, and it operates a cannery, two sugar factories, and a controlling stake in Tianyi Pharmaceutical Company.

This can only be regarded as a mediocre among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhou can't understand why the second son, Chen Daiyi, can be so arrogant?

Through talking with Xu Baizhi, he learned that Xu Baizhi's family was worried that she would be lonely and widowed for half her life, so they kept urging her to find someone to remarry, so she often went in and out of the marriage agency and other places recently, so I don't know when she was targeted.

In this regard, Zhou can only sigh that some people's habits are different, and they dare to satisfy their own habits through bad behavior.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, I... I'll move out in the future......"

"What do you say, you are still angry when you are disturbed?" Xia Xiaoshi was relieved: "This matter is not over, you can relax." ”

"Why did you move away? Is Mrs. Xu afraid that she can't be provoked? Zhou Changfeng pointed at himself disappreciably, "Am I still alive?" ”

Then he said a few times to Chen Daiyi, who was slumped to the ground and was in a state of confusion, and pretended to persuade seriously: "I sincerely suggest that Chen Ergongzi hurry up and prepare for revenge after he goes back, really, don't let me look down on you." ”

At this time, the people of Pingjiang Bofu were late, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw this, but just shouted from a distance of more than ten meters and begged to raise their noble hands.

One of the stewards at the head said eagerly: "Zhou waits for the edict, let's dissipate my anger, the uncle will definitely punish him strictly with the family law!" ”

"Don't fart to Lao Tzu! Your family can teach such a cub, and you can imagine what the hell the family style looks like. Zhou Changfeng waved his hand, "And I've never heard that family law is greater than national law, is your family a special case?" No wonder someone said before that your second son was walking sideways in the capital, and no one dared to say a word. ”

The other people at the scene were helpless, and felt that Zhou was too tricky to speak, and there was no room for people at all.

Time passed like this, and the reporters of the newspapers who had already gone home from work were also urged to the scene by phone.

However, they were stopped by the patrol police and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the periphery.

Zhou Changfeng said disdainfully: "Don't you dare to let the world know about the ugly things?" I'll see who dares to block the news. ”

Someone went to ask Lei Bingsheng what to do, but Lei Bingsheng was unmoved, but only whispered an order to stop the reporter and not to approach.

The patrolmen did follow the order, but the others didn't, and it wasn't a system anyway—

A lieutenant of the 1st Praetorian Guard Division hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to the soldiers who were maintaining order in front: "The afternoon drill was too hard? Running out of energy? Are your legs so weak that you can't stand on your feet? ”

The soldiers didn't know why, but soon the spirit man pretended not to stand still and fell to the side.

In this way, several people fell in succession, and immediately an eager reporter saw the needle, drilled through the gap, and raised the camera in the general direction to shoot......

Because of the long delay, the three attendants were ineffective due to blood loss caused by multiple gunshot wounds to the legs, but the tall, thin retinue who was hit by the car at the beginning suffered the least injuries.

In this way, under the deliberate action of someone Zhou, this matter was unexpectedly made big.

Later that day, in the living room of his own house, Xia Xiaoshi's eyes looked at him almost like his eyes were full of stars.

"It's really refreshing, so arrogant, so ruthless, how can my husband be so chic!"

Zhou Changfeng spread his hands, "I don't know, I can only say that... Improvisation. ”

Xia Xiaoshi sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhou Kexing that you still have such talent." ”

"Hey, don't mention it, in fact, I was really annoyed before, I looked at the confession book a few times and wanted to give him a shuttle on the spot."

"It's okay sir, their family doesn't end well, the tutor is not good, it's no wonder if it doesn't decline."

"Anyway, Xiaoshi, it seems that you are in a good mood," Zhou Changfeng leaned over to her and laughed in a low voice: "Shouldn't that also let me get my wish?" For example, unlocking new poses. ”

At midnight, after the indulgence, Zhou Changfeng seriously reviewed what he had done before, and he did not think that he had caused trouble, and he could even be said to be quite measured.

So he slept peacefully, but many people in the capital were destined to be unable to sleep that night.

Because the subject matter is too vigorous, and the blessing of modern technology has spread all over the country in one night.

Although Zhou did not deliberately appear in front of the public, or self-promoted, he has done a lot of big things, so he has long been remembered by the public.

The appearance left by "Zhou Changfeng" is really good, no wonder he was able to calmly shuttle through the thousands of flowers before, so in the past two years, Zhou Changfeng has been able to receive letters of admiration from girls from all over the country.

It's fun again.

The next day, the attendants parked the car at the gate of the mansion to pick him up as usual, and Zhou Changfeng Quan entered the imperial city and came to the office as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he entered the room, before he could sit down, Luo Fu, who had a strange expression, spoke.

"Your Majesty asked you to hand over all kinds of affairs with me, and then go directly to her."

"Aha? What's going on? ”

"How do I know?" Luo Fu covered his forehead and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that I will have to be busy with the work of two people again." ”

After handing over the affairs briefly, Zhou Changfeng went straight to the Zhaoren Palace.

Because of the decoration of the two warm pavilions in the east and west of the Qianqing Palace, you can see a lot of workers and stacked building materials along the way.

When he walked into the familiar east room of the Zhaoren Palace, he saw Zhu Lingjing, who was dressed in black and black dress, standing next to the imperial case, leaning against the corner of the table with her hands on her chest, her eyes staring at him.

Hey, why does this look like a teacher asking for sin?

However, considering that he was full of confidence, Zhou Changfeng took the lead in speaking very confidently: "See Your Majesty, do you have anything to do?" ”

Zhu Lingjing rolled her eyes, "Pretending to be confused? You're really interesting. ”

"Your Majesty, I have to defend my innocence, the behavior of the second son of Pingjiang Bo is too outrageous, I am just venting evil anger for the whole army." Zhou Changfeng replied solemnly.

Not guilty plea? Zhu Lingjing was amused.

"Then tell me, what is the sin?"

This rhetorical question was something that Zhou had not expected, if he was charged one by one according to the law, then he really violated the law a lot last night.

1. According to the "Amendment to the Regulations on the Defense and Public Security of the Capital City", one of the charges is to shoot without authorization in the capital.

Second, according to the "Daming Criminal Law", the second crime is malicious wounding to death.

Third, according to the "Daming Criminal Law", the third charge is refusing to accept the arrest of the Shangyuan County police.

Fourth, according to the "Ming Military Law Amendment", the fourth crime is to interfere with civil criminal crimes as an active-duty soldier.

So he roughly said a few words, and Zhu Lingjing shook her hand helplessly, "There's nothing to manage about this matter, just go through the process, didn't you say that you felt very comfortable in prison?" Let's take a few days off this time. ”

Zhou Changfeng said with some annoyance: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that it is not worth it, what punishment will the bastard receive after that?" Tsk, damn it knew I was going to shoot him twice last night. ”

"Keep your mouth clean." Zhu Lingjing, who was expressionless, let out a "heh" and said lightly: "Then it's time to ask yourself, why are you soft." ”

"Uh......" Zhou Changfeng looked at her in surprise, "Your Majesty, ...... what you said"

"Personally, there's nothing wrong with that." Zhu Lingjing said disappreciatively.

Then, she muttered again: "I thought you knew each other before, but I didn't expect that this time you are still a little arrogant, and you are not suitable for politics." ”

"Your Majesty, I have to clarify this, uh... I asked Xiaoshi if she wanted to be more disciplined or arrogant, and she said that she wanted me to be more arrogant and make their prestige worse. As he spoke, Zhou Changfeng shrugged his shoulders.

Zhu Lingjing knew that he was not shirking his responsibility, and said with a dumb smile: "You are very fond of her." ”

"The newlyweds have to fight outside the home not long ago, and I don't have much time to accompany her, so try to follow her thoughts now."

"Unbelievable ......"

Zhu Lingjing frowned slightly, holding her chin and staring at him, "As far as common sense is concerned, people like you who used to mess with flowers and grass would not have such virtue and awareness, strange, hmm... Could it be that the crash broke you out? ”

Zhou Changfeng couldn't answer her question, and could only sigh that this woman's eyes and feelings were indeed quite sharp.

"That's enough, you stand down."

Although it is just a process, because of the particularity of this case, it is easy to guess with your toes what the actual verdict will look like.

If it were in a country like Britain and the United States, which practices the law of the sea, I am afraid that Zhou would be acquitted in court and the charges dropped.

But after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, and since it has been put on the surface, it must follow basic procedural justice.

From a personal point of view, Zhu Lingjing admires what Zhou Changfeng did, but she can only look at all this as a bystander at the moment.

Or rather, she felt the need to use the power of amnesty at will.

Over the next few days, what followed was nothing to be expected.

The Military Justice Department of the Ministry of War tried the case in a step-by-step manner, but dropped the criminal charges against Zhou Changfeng.

For military personnel, military law is greater than national law. Correspondingly, although the military court did not hear him and acquitted him, the civilian criminal department could still theoretically accept the prosecution against him.

Pingjiang Bofu is not so rampant that it has no brains, and he has been acting with his tail between his legs for the past few days, so the prosecution against Zhou was actually initiated by the Shangyuan County Torture Room.

The Shangyuan County Torture Room was also afraid of causing public resentment, so it clarified that this was just a normal procedure and was not an intentional prosecution.

Ying Tianfu Criminal Department was responsible for hearing the case, and the verdict given by the magistrate was: 80 canes and 12 years in prison; Report to Dali Temple for the application of the "special mitigation" law.

Dali Temple reviewed and approved, and in the end only six months in prison remained.

Even so, there were still quite a few people in the Ming army who were dissatisfied and urged the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to speed up the trial of Chen Daiyi, the second son of Pingjiang Bo, and demand a fair verdict.

For his son's fault, Ping Jiangbo himself can't do anything, and now the whole mansion industry is already in a situation where it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself, and this son of evil will be left to his own devices!

The Great Ming Lords are not monolithic, and they will only stand on a unified position in rare cases.

What's more, this matter is purely Ping Jiangbo's own death, then I'm sorry, don't blame the brothers for being ruthless.

As representatives of the forbidden army and the entire Ming army, Nan'an Hou Pang Lingqi and Wei Guo Gong Wu Weihuan reached an agreement after private consultations-

National events are in worship. It is necessary to emphasize who is most important in the present war years, so that some people will not be in a state of peace for too long.

After this, the imperial court gave Ping Jiangbo himself a little face, allowing him to voluntarily and voluntarily hand over the entire property of the government to the state.

On the ninth day of June, Qixia Mountain.

The cicadas chirp constantly, and the noon sun makes people feel like their skin is on fire.

"Hey, Chief Zhou, it's too hot, why don't you wait any longer?"

"No need, I've had enough rest these days, it's time to get down to business."

"It's worthy of you, the public heart is the first, and it's better to be ashamed of your humble position."

Although it was not sentenced by the Judge Advocate General's Department, Zhou's actual sentence still had to be handed over to a military prison for execution.

In the past few days, the special treatment given to him by Qixia Prison is definitely the first time since the completion of the construction, and he has to pay a lot of money to buy and install an air conditioner.

Because there was still a lot to be done, the Navy Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office fished him out with a military order, which he called "temporary parole".

In the past few days of disguised vacation, while no one was disturbing him in prison, Zhou Changfeng reorganized his thinking, summarized and adjusted a series of short-term and long-term plans.

The top priority is to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the 1st Marine Brigade, and no matter what the conservative Army plans to do, the Marine Corps will definitely equip the automatic rifles that fire intermediate-power ammunition first.

Second, the renovation of the amphibious command ship must not be delayed, and it is necessary to seize the time.

Third, the research on camouflage uniforms by the Daming Military Gezhi Institute has yielded results, and four experimental camouflage types have been prepared for small batch production, one of which is exclusively for the Marine Corps.

Fourth, it is necessary to adjust the command system of the Ming Army at the regimental and division levels, and the current level may be difficult to adapt to the high-intensity battles with the Americans in the future.

In addition, because there is no real pressure, the Ming Army is not in a hurry to develop the next generation of tanks and anti-tank guns, and it can even be said that it is very grinding, and it must be urged.
