Wang Yu walked into the house and saw Zhu Ming sitting in the hall and Zhao Kai bowing down and standing under the hall.

He first bowed to Zhu Ming, and then bowed his hand to Zhao Kai.

Zhu Ming opened his mouth and asked: "What does Fan Qiong have to rely on, dare to kill Sima and the guards of King Yun's mansion, and dare to send King Yun after swallowing the goods?" ”

"And that kind of thing?" Wang Yu was also quite surprised.

Zhu Ming pointed at Zhao Kai: "This is reported by King Yun." ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly swore an oath: "Marshal, I will never say half a lie." First, Sima in my mansion colluded with the guards, smuggled goods and put me under house arrest. Then it was Fan Qiong, who killed Sima and the guards, and still did the same thing. ”

"How dare they?" Zhu Ming felt that it was outrageous, because this kind of thing was too easy to expose, and it was purely self-defeating.

And not only Fan Qiong did this, but also Fan Qiong's personal soldiers, as well as the palace Sima and the guards. They all dared to do this, and they didn't worry about being punished by Zhu Ming at all.

"Alas!"

Wang Yu sighed and explained: "It's not that they are bold and not afraid of death, but they are used to doing so. Wang Anzhong dared to embezzle 400,000 yuan of life-saving money in Yanshan Mansion, without considering that the Jin people would kill him. Fan Qiong and Sima of the Royal Mansion, how could they not dare to swallow up the treasures of the Yun Palace? After the investigation, it can be said that it was robbed by the rebels. I heard that the Yunwang Mansion was indeed attacked by the chaotic people and several waves of rebels. King Yun has become a prisoner, and Fan Qiong is still leading the general, generally speaking, King Yun does not dare to report. ”

"Hehe, I'm used to doing this, and it's really rotten to the roots." Zhu Ming sneered.

Fan Qiong only swallowed the floating wealth privately, and treasured antique calligraphy and paintings, all of which were packed and sent to Zhu Ming.

Yesterday, the whole city was in chaos, there were riotous people and soldiers everywhere to rob, if it wasn't for Zhao Kai to report it personally, Zhu Ming really wouldn't have investigated the matter.

Wang Yu said: "When Zhao Ji was there, Gao Yu treated the forbidden army as a private soldier and the assets of the forbidden army as private property. Most of the goods confiscated by the forbidden army were also stolen, and only a part of them were handed over to the imperial court. Fan Qiong just learned from Gao Yu and thought that this kind of thing was not a big deal. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Regarding those troops in the city, I originally planned to deal with them in two days, but now I don't want to wait any longer. You are a veteran of the forbidden army, go and take away Fan Qiong's military position, and then appease those Tokyo soldiers, leaving 500 young men to continue to serve as soldiers, and all the rest will be dismissed. Their weapons and armor will be collected. ”

"Do you want to pay severance?" Wang Yu asked.

"They were conscripted into the army to fight with me, and they were all prisoners of war! It's a blessing if I don't kill them, and I have to pay severance pay? Of course, Zhu Ming will not be presumptuous, "Explain this truth clearly to those Tokyo soldiers." Let's just say that I can't bear to see them starving, and each person can get a bucket of rice to go home! ”

There are more than 30,000 soldiers in Tokyo, and only 500 soldiers are left.

But it is more to show an attitude that Zhu Ming did not deliberately retaliate, and purely thought that they were unbearable.

30,000 soldiers were dismissed, and each person was given a bucket of grain, and 3,000 stone of grain had to be consumed, but those burdens were thrown off at one time.

Wang Yu bowed down and retreated, and led his troops to carry out the mission.

Zhu Ming asked, "What else do you have?" ”

Zhao Kai knelt on the ground and said: "I am about to be assigned to a farmer, and I can't bear to suffer with my wife, so I ask the marshal to take care of me." I asked a few days ago, although my wife's surname is Zhu, in fact, my ancestor changed her surname. It's not Zhu Zi, it's Zhuge Zhu. ”

Even if it is an emperor, it is taboo to accept concubines with the same surname.

Of the orthodox emperors of all dynasties, only Tang Zhaozong has done so. The rest of the emperors are not serious, Wang Mang can barely say it, Liu Cong, Liu Jun, Liu Ziye These guys are directly chaotic X.

Zhao Kai took the initiative to make excuses for Zhu Ming and changed his wife's surname.

"You think I'm such a womanizer?" Zhu Ming stared at Zhao Kai.

"Don't dare," Zhao Kai hurriedly explained, "The generalissimo is a benevolent and righteous person, and I am worried about my wife's suffering, so I asked the marshal to take care of it." ”

"Get out!"

Zhu Ming reprimanded angrily.

Zhao Kai left in a gray manner, always feeling that something was wrong, could it be that the rumors were wrong, Marshal Zhu didn't like his wife?

……

However, it was said that Wang Yu led 500 heavily armored soldiers to Fan Qiong's barracks and ordered him to gather his own soldiers to listen to the order.

Fan Qiong thought that there was some reward, so she gathered troops to listen.

"Unarmoured!" Wang Yu shouted.

Fan Qiong suddenly realized that there was a problem, but Wang Yu had five hundred heavy armor soldiers, and he could only obediently obey the order.

After all Fan Qiong's personal soldiers were unarmed, Wang Yucai said: "King Yun reported that he embezzled property, but there is such a thing?" ”

Fan Qiong immediately cried out: "This is purely a false accusation. When I led the troops to the palace of the king of Yun, the rebels were looting the goods, and many of the palace guards were killed. After I killed the rebels, I sealed the property of the palace, where did I dare to embezzle? ”

"Whether there is any private swallowing, we will know after the trial, let's go to the cell and live in it for a few days." Wang Yu gave an order, and five hundred heavy armor soldiers began to move.

In the face of these humanoid iron cans, Fan Qiong and his own soldiers did not dare to resist, so they were arrested without much effort.

It was only at this time that Fan Qiong felt fear.

It turned out that the embezzlement of property would really be disposed of, and it turned out that Marshal Zhu didn't care that he commanded 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Why is this happening?

It shouldn't be!

Zhu Ming couldn't understand Fan Qiong's stupid behavior, and Fan Qiong couldn't understand Zhu Ming's thinking pattern.

On the way to the prison, Fan Qiong saw a group of soldiers rushing into Zhao Ye's mansion like wolves and tigers.

"It's over, it's all over......" Fan Qiong muttered to herself.

Even Deputy Prime Minister Zhao Ye had to be severely punished, let alone a military general.

Zhao Ye relied on climbing Cai Jing and Wang Hao to ascend to the throne, and when he followed Cai Jing, his position was not high and he could not commit great evils. But under Wang Hao, Zhao Ye rose rapidly, and many dirty things were handled by him, and he was already notorious in Tokyo.

And offended a lot of waiting officials!

At that time, Wang Hao was the prime minister, but if he wanted to get the real shortage, he had to give gifts to Wang Hao's henchmen, and Zhao Ye just controlled the officials.

Yesterday afternoon, after Zhu Ming sent troops to arrest Wang Anzhong, he expressed his attitude towards the former ministers of the previous dynasty, and immediately dozens of officials came to report Zhao Ye.

not only accused him of extorting money from officials, but also made a mess of things.

The result of the disposition was the same as Wang Anzhong, he was immediately decided, and his relatives took his home and exiled him to southern Sichuan.

Southern Sichuan is full of barbarians, and there is a lack of Han population.

In the prison of Dali Temple, Zhao Ye and Wang Anzhong were locked together, and they were silent and in no mood to speak.

After all, Wang Anzhong was detained for an extra night, and he was more suitable for his situation, and finally spoke after a long time: "Guess who else will come in?" ”

Zhao Ye thought for a while: "Bai Shizhong." He has made a lot of money over the years by offering auspicious money, and he has also blackmailed local officials. The disposal of us surnamed Zhu is most likely due to insufficient military funds, knowing that you and I have money in our families, we can not only steal the family to subsidize it, but also kill us to vent our anger. ”

"Bai Shizhong is indeed rich, and there are few people in Tokyo who are richer than him." Wang Anzhong nodded.

Zhao Ye said sarcastically: "Your Excellency is not far behind, I heard that you have fished 400,000 yuan in Yanshan Mansion at one time. In other words, I am definitely not bold. There are golden people on the outside, and there are pharmacists Guo on the side, who dare to be greedy for all the life-saving money, and you can go back to Tokyo alive in the first place! ”

Wang Anzhong sighed: "Youzhou is in dilapidation, and it can't be collected and taxed, so it can only be fished out of the imperial court's transfers. We can't help it, we can't live a long way, right? ”

"If you hadn't ruined the situation in Youzhou, I'm afraid the Jin people wouldn't have been able to go south smoothly," Zhao Ye gritted his teeth and said, "My Great Song Dynasty monarch and minister have fallen to this point, all thanks to you!" ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Wang Anzhong defended, "With the dominance of Guo Yaoshi, sooner or later he will betray the imperial court." ”

At this moment, a jailer came in with food: "Wang Anzhong, I've added food to you." ”

When Wang Anzhong saw that there was meat in the rice, he immediately said in horror: "Didn't you say that you would ask for a cut after three days?" Why do you eat severed heads today? ”

The jailer said, "How do I know? Xu can't wait. ”

"I don't eat this meal, I don't eat this meal...... Wang Anzhong was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and then shouted again, "I want to report and make meritorious contributions, I know many people's dirty things!" ”

The jailer was ready to take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone immediately: "Write it down quickly." ”

Zhao Ye smiled beside him: "No matter how many people you report, it will be impossible to escape death, why bother with such effort?" ”

"There's always a silver lining." Wang Anzhong lay on his stomach in the cell, trembling and grinding ink.

When the two exchanged cases, Wang Yu had already begun to dismiss the soldiers in Tokyo.

30,000 Tokyo soldiers were stationed in several barracks.

First, he ordered all departments to compete, selected and sent hundreds of the most capable warriors, and then each person was sent a bucket of rice to be dismissed directly.

Whoever dares to make trouble, he won't be able to get this bucket of rice!

The really difficult thing is the Qinwang soldiers in the field, because the Tokyo soldiers can go home on the same day.

Zhang Shuye had received a new errand, and he called all the generals to him, in addition to Song Jiang, Sun Lie and other bandits, as well as Wei Gong and Li Zhiping, the leaders of the township soldiers.

"Marshal Zhu asked me to lead the troops back to Shandong to assist Zhang Bo in suppressing thieves in Shandong," Zhang Shuye said to the generals, "Marshal Zhu is dissatisfied with the poor discipline of the Shandong soldiers, and countless Shandong soldiers took advantage of the chaos in the city to loot. Marshal Zhu said that he would not be held accountable for previous incidents, and that he would not be spared if he violated military discipline again in the future. ”

Wei Gong and Li Zhiping's military discipline is relatively good, and they have long been unaccustomed to Song Jiang and Sun Lie, and the two of them took the opportunity to take eye medicine.

Li Zhiping said: "I will definitely restrain the soldiers, and I will not commit any offence against the people in the future." ”

"If someone intrudes on the people, I don't need Zhang Shuai to do it, and I will correct the law," Wei Gong looked at Song Jiang, "I just don't know, can some people do it?" ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "I must govern the army strictly." ”

Zhang Shuye continued: "The four of you are only allowed to keep 3,000 soldiers each, and I can only keep 3,000 personal soldiers, and the total number of soldiers in Shandong is 15,000. The rest of the old and weak should be laid off, and those who are willing to stay in Gyeonggi can be resettled and distributed on the spot. If you want to return to your hometown, you can also return to your hometown with the army. As long as he voluntarily left the army to become a commoner, the government would give him land and seeds, and all taxes would be exempted for five years! ”

Sun Lie asked, "If a general leaves the army, can he become an official?" ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "You are not allowed to be an official, but you can get an extra twenty acres of land." If Marshal Zhu would help marry a bachelor who stayed in Gyeonggi to farm, he would have a wife and land tax-free for five years in the future, and that life would have been excellent. ”
