In addition to all kinds of food and herbs donated by the Tibetan people, there was also a missionary Anduode.

Since he heard that Chu Fan could help him promote Catholicism in the interior, he was very happy, and he was so happy that he followed Chu Fan, and I will follow you wherever you go.

Chu Fan actually had a plan for a long time, let you follow me, it will definitely not be for nothing.

Half a month later, the convoy finally arrived in Ganzhouwei.

Shi Sen, the commander of the Ganzhou Guard, was sitting in the lobby of the guard, looking at Chu Fan and his party who walked in.

"You are Chu Fan?"

"My lord, I should have come to report earlier, but because there was a situation on the road, I stayed in the Tibetan area for a few months, so I came to report, and I asked my lord Haihan."

It stands to reason that the person who can be the commander of Ganzhou Wei should not be a fool, let alone a madman. After Chu Fan left from Tianshuiwei, he didn't see Chu Fan's news until the left and right, so he planned to let Chu Fan report to him, and he would transfer Chu Fan back to Tianshui in a few days, but as a result, this person disappeared as soon as he went, and he sent a few letters to his subordinate Che Xing to inquire about the situation.

The superiors are so concerned about this exiled Jiupin inspection school, but anyone with a little brain can guess that this person is not simple, and everyone knows the details of this person, the former cabinet deputy assistant, the head of the household department, it stands to reason that a small six-rank admiral, how can he not embarrass such a person with a deep background, but Shi Sen is crazy.

"Bold Chu Fan, a criminal minister of the court, did not report on time and left his post without authorization for a few months."

As he spoke, Shi Sen picked up the startled wood and said, "Smack." slapped on the desk and shouted: "Come on, put this person in prison, give me a good trial, where did you go, in this front-line guard station, leave your post without permission."

Shou, and also came with a red ghost, who is suspected of being a foreigner. ”

As he spoke, several strong men rushed up and were about to grab Chu Fan's arm.

After Qin Hong returned to the Han District, there was no longer the influence of high altitude, and her martial arts had long been restored. The two turned around, and when the figures flickered, they had already lit the tiger's mouths of the two guards, and suddenly the two of them screamed in pain, squatting on the ground and holding their hands, and couldn't get up again.

Seeing that this woman was so powerful, Shi Sen immediately stood up from the chair, retreated half a step back and shouted, "Boldly hang your life, it's against you?" Take it for me. ”

This is the front-line guard, more than 1,000 soldiers are stationed all year round, because of the perennial direct face of the invasion of the Mobei nomads, it is not as loose as Tianshui Wei, everyone has two hits, and suddenly four strong men rushed out from both sides, and they were about to subdue Qin Hong.

I saw Chu Fan shouting, "Hong'er, don't." ”

Qin Hong was about to skip over again to subdue the four of them, when he heard Chu Fan shouting, he jumped up, flashed back, stood at the gate of Chu, bit his lip, and looked at Chu Fan.

I saw Chu Fan smile and said: "Hong'er, although I am a petty official, I am also a member of the court, they want to kill me, and the court agrees, you can rest assured, they can't help me, don't do it with them again." ”

Qin Hong stood still, his eyes fixed on the guards.

Shi Sen was not so easy to get along with, and pointed at Qin Hong and said, "Dare to hurt people in my lobby, even take that woman together." ”

Just as the four guards were about to rush towards Qin Hong again, Qin Hong took out a wood-colored token from his waist, and everyone immediately froze in place.

I saw a big word on the token "West." ", drank to: "What this person wants from the West Factory, where can I get your turn?" ”

West Factory, the full name of "West Detective Factory." It was precisely because the power of the East Factory was too strong that Emperor Xianzong established the West Factory to fight against the East Factory. Later, with the support of the emperor, the power of the West Factory was greater than that of the East Factory and Jinyiwei, but the scale was not large.

Although the volume is small, but the five organs are complete, from the arrest, trial, execution, the whole process management, equivalent to the power of the three divisions he has shouldered, plus since the establishment of the factory, the purpose has always been to keep improving, so everyone in it is equipped with unique skills, different from ordinary people.

When ordinary people hear Xichang, they probably have to shake their legs and stomachs, after all, if this emperor's direct agency wants to run someone, unless the emperor personally covers you, it will basically be dead.

Yes, everyone who saw Qin Hong's token was frozen in place.

However, Shi Sen continued to play the true character of a madman and shouted: "What's wrong with the West Factory? This is the frontline guard station, this person is the school of my institute, how can you ask for a reason? ”

Qin Hong snorted coldly and said softly: "Not only do I want him, but I also want to take you back."

As he spoke, he jumped up on the spot and flew towards Shi Sen, the soft sword unsheathed and went straight at Shi Sen.

Shi Sen was stunned for a moment, although he said that there were many martial arts masters in the border guards, but he had never seen such a fast speed.

Qin Hong was about to teach this admiral of the guard a good lesson, only to hear Chu Fan shouting: "Hong'er, stop quickly." ”

Qin Hong's body was already light, coupled with his light skills, he actually braked sharply in mid-air in an instant, and the soft sword was put on in front of the case, and he turned over and jumped back, standing beside Chu Fan.

Chu Fan patted Qin Hong's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, Hong'er, if Lord Shi doesn't just want to ask me for questions, you don't have to stop me, and let me go with them." ”

Qin Hong's shoulders shook, one foot stomped lightly on the ground, and said, "What if you suffer?" ”

"No, Hong'er, you wait for me in the city, I'll go and come back quickly."

Qin Hong: "Hmph. He was still not at ease, and said: "Shi Sen, it's okay if you want to take Master Chu away, but I must be able to see him at any time, you can think about it, this is the person Xichang wants." Shi Sen was really a different person, he didn't take this Xichang detective in his eyes, and scolded with a smile: "Oh, what is Xichang doing?" Marry a girl? Still going to accompany you? If Chu Fan hadn't stopped him, Qin Hong really couldn't have gone up and given him two slaps.

Just as he was about to slap him again, the master beside Shi Sen suddenly whispered a few words to Shi Sen, Shi Sen probably also felt that it would be more troublesome for the people in the West Factory to compete, so he waved his hand and said: "Go, go, you can look at it as you like, and this red-haired ghost will be locked in together." ”

Chu Fan smiled and beckoned Qin Hong behind him, stretched out his hands and handed them to the two guards.

Qin Hongqi stomped his feet, but he couldn't help it, and watched Chu Fan being taken away.

followed Chu Fan all the way to the prison, and the guards Sun Benzhang and his brothers wanted to kick Chu Fan into the cell according to the usual rules, but after thinking about the martial arts of the aunt behind them, they still held back their consistent movements, opened the door and let Chu Fan walk in by himself.

Just about to lock it, Qin Hong stopped: "What are you doing?" He is the person who wants Xichang, I want to be interrogated at any time, and it is inconvenient for me to close the door. ”

Two guards, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to say much, anyway, there is a door outside, if you don't lock it, don't lock it.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Hong spoke again: "This place is broken turf, how can you sit on people?" Go and bring me a chair. ”

This is excessive, how can there be a prisoner's seat in a prison cell? The two guards snorted and walked out angrily.

As soon as he took two steps, Qin Hong jumped over, blocked in front of the two and said, "It's not in vain to make you work hard, Nuo, you take this little meaning, go and move a chair for my family, remember to have a cushion." ”

As he spoke, two yellow gold ingots were thrown into the arms of the two.

Although it is said that this little girl is very disrespectful to speak, but, for the sake of gold, the two brothers can still help in this matter.

I saw the two guards grinning and said loudly: "Okay, you wait." ”

And he who was happy ran out.

After a while, a brand-new pure wooden eagle head chair came to the cell, covered with a thick cotton cushion, and very intimately equipped with two soft armrests, which can be tied to the arm of the chair, so as not to hurt the sitter's hand.

"What's on this ground? A pair of broken grass and clean it for me. "Qin Hong is the master of gold, this will be polite, and call the two guards like cleaners.

The guards who took the gold were even more neat than the cleaners, sweeping the floor and splashing water at the same time, making Chu Fan's cell spotless.

Not to mention that the service is the advancement of economic development, it is almost night, three beds will be sent in, the bed is brand new, the cover is also brand new, seeing that if it goes on, it is going to open a government here, Chu Fan hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, if you get it again, it will become my house, it's almost enough, Hong'er, let's rest." ”

And Qin Hongyi was happy, and gave the two of them two golden melon seeds to reward them, and the two of them held the gold and smiled: "Girl, if you have something, you just call us brothers." He happily went to the door on duty.

The girl is more attentive than the man, so she helped Chu Fan make the bed, fold the pillows, and bring water to help Chu Fan wash.

She is already very accustomed to living with Chu Fan, and she understands even more in terms of daily life, Chu Fan has to take a bath every day, if there is no condition, at least she has to clean her body with clean water.

Today, it is obvious that there is no way to take a bath under this condition, so she arranged to send hot water early to help Chu Fan wipe it.

The two guards were stunned.

A factory detective in the West Factory, it is also a level above the fifth grade, not to mention that this girl is so beautiful, she is so good to Chu Fan, accompanied by people, and the money is spent

This man is so happy to wipe his body, isn't it?

A nine-quality inspection school, why? Why is he? We are also the head of ten households, and it is not much lower than the Nine Grade Inspection School, why is he happy?

If you want to say that the most wronged person here is An Duode, who wanted to come to the inland with Chu Fan to preach, he was sent to prison for some reason, but when he saw this scene, his jaw was almost adjusted to his belly, is the prison of the Ming Dynasty so comfortable? I'm going to be beaten to death in my big Portuguese prison.

As for Shi Sen, a six-rank admiral, why can't he get along with Chu Fan? The reason is quite simple, he is the nephew of Shangshu Shi Xing of the Ministry of War.

Originally, Shi Sen didn't have any big skills, and he mixed up with the secretary of the seventh grade in the Shanxi General Military Mansion, and planned to mix it up like this until he died, who knew that his uncle Shi Xing suddenly made a fortune a few years ago and became a squire in the military department, so Shi Sen followed the progress and was promoted to the sixth grade, but it was not so easy to be promoted again.

In the Ming Dynasty, military attachés were different from civil officials, and civil officials wanted to be promoted, so they could be fooled around with two articles with high achievements, talk about current affairs and politics, talk about their views on the country, brag about it, and your uncle will help you recommend it, and basically a step up in a few years.

Military attachés are different, and military attachés must have military merits for promotion, so in order to make military exploits for their own nephew, he was specially sent to Ganzhou Weidang as a governor in the border of Hexi. I thought that I would mix it up here for a while, and I had a trick with Wara, no matter if I won or lost, I would make up some military merits and promote him, and transfer him back to the mainland, but it didn't work out at this juncture, Chu Fan didn't give enough silver to the military department to go to Liaodong to fight, which led to the defeat of Liaodong and Shi Xing was assigned.

Shi Sen's buddy was put on hold in Ganzhouwei on the edge of the desert for a year.

So Shi Sen didn't know who Chu Fan was? He knew, but he couldn't be angry, this man caused him to suffer here, and his uncle was also distributed.

Therefore, there is this one that Shi Sen is going to put Chu Fan to death as soon as he comes.

Now that Chu Fan is in prison, do you think he is satisfied? Comfortable? No, he vowed to kill Chu Fan in prison.

At dawn the next day, the interrogators of Chu Fan arrived at the door of the cell.

The guards Sun Benzhang and his brothers are still very witty, what is the scene in the cell, they know best, it seems that people are about to enter the cell to pick up people, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "A few people have worked hard to run all the way, you don't have to go in, I'll go and bring people out, just wait a while." ”

Quickly trotted into the cell, and said to Chu Fan: "Master, someone is here, saying that Lord Shi is going to interrogate you, you can change your clothes and go out with us." As he spoke, he picked up Chu Fan's gown and helped Chu Fan change his clothes.

Qin Hong walked over, took off his coat, helped Chu Fan put it on, and said, "Hmph, I watched Shi Sen's thief's heart not die, and he played some tricks." ”

Chu Fan lightly pressed Qin Hong and said, "Hong'er, you listen to me today, stay here and wait for me, and wait for me to deal with him." ”

After that, he put his mouth to Qin Hong's ear, whispered a few words, and kissed him on the earlobe.

Qin Hong's face suddenly burned red, and he ducked away from the wall, and when he turned around, Chu Fan had already walked out of the cell.

followed the messenger to the lobby of the guard, Shi Sen sat on the chair again, squinted his eyes, and looked at Chu Fan.

Seeing that the female factory detective in the West Factory was not by his side today, Shi Sen was very happy, and he was ready to play well today.

"Bold Chu Fan, tell me where you have been in the past half a year since you left Tianshui? Why are you with this red-haired ghost? ”

Chu Fan laughed and said, "In the past six months, I have been investigating the defeat of the army in Ganzhou Wei. ”

Shi Sen immediately stood up and stared at Chu Fan.

Shi Sen is very empty in his heart.

Since he came to this guard, Shi Sen knew that he had been fooled.

What bullshit mixed military exploits? Coming here is pure mixing, or death.

Why?

In recent years, the court has been poor and the funds for the local health centers are very limited.

Why else did Ma Gui, who was transferred to Liaodong as the chief soldier, know that the second wave army is not easy to mess with, and he is still greedy for military expenses, which finally leads to his own death?

Because it's so poor.

is the so-called being a magistrate in the mainland, there are still ordinary people to loot, the so-called three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. No matter how poor it is, you can eat it with a mouthful of food.

But this guard is different, the guard is a military institution, of course, the guard is also a small city, so it also manages local government affairs.

But because the towns are very small, they can't make much money, so they can only deduct it from the military fee.

In the past, when the imperial court was rich, and it was probably enough to pay for the military, people who were not too dirty could make a good profit.

But the situation has changed in recent years, and the military expenses given by the imperial court have become less and less, resulting in the guards not even being able to pay the salaries of the soldiers, and on the surface, it is the guard of 5,000 people, after inflation and military attache corruption, the remaining money can only support a team of one or two thousand people at most, and it is still difficult to recruit soldiers.

And the soldiers are even more reluctant to fight for such a small amount of money.

Therefore, whenever the Warat cavalry attacked in the summer, it was supposed that the defenders had the responsibility to defend the people, but due to the lack of troops and the lack of strong willingness to fight, they were repeatedly hit hard by the Warat. After that, the successive governors of Ganzhou Wei thought of a good way - to close the door and not go out.

Ganzhou is a place with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau down and the Mobei grassland upward, and Ganzhouwei is just sandwiched in the middle, which is equivalent to a tentacle stretched out between Tibet and the Mongolian grassland in the Ming Dynasty.

So to defend, in fact, there is nothing to defend, as long as the guard and the city tower are not lost, basically Wara is the people who are grazing sheep in the surrounding Huohuo, grab some daily necessities and go back.

Therefore, as long as you don't go out and don't lose the guard, your responsibility will be fulfilled.

As soon as he heard about such a situation, he immediately followed the customs of the locals and continued to implement the strategy of the previous term.

But these years have obviously not been as good as before.

In the past, Wara rushed over to see if your Ming army would fight, and if it didn't fight, I would go around the city and divide the troops on both sides to rob the people.

snapped up, withdraw the troops back to Mobei, anyway, you won't chase me, and I won't beat you.

But the past few years have been different, due to the robbery of the surrounding areas for many years, the nearby farmers and herdsmen have been robbed, and the immigrants have migrated, and the migrants have migrated, and there are basically no people on both sides. The common people settled in the depths of the Gobi and lived a hard life, which is nothing more than a stable life, you grab it once a year, and every time you don't even leave a lamb, how can you live.

The common people are gone, and Warat came to take a look, and he couldn't go back empty-handed.

It's the idea of starting to attack the guard, this time to rob the granary outside the city, and next time to grab the guard's camp.

If it continues to develop, it is estimated that the target is the health center itself.

Yes, Shi Sen also had a headache, the last time because it was about to enter winter, the Warat cavalry took the initiative to retreat, and when they left, they did not forget to take away a lot of supplies from the horse farm near the guard.

Yes, this head was questioned by Chu Fan, and Shi Sen was still vague in the end.

It's not to be vague, if Chu Fan really investigates clearly that he was a shrunken turtle and let his family snatch away even the military horses, if the court knew about it, wouldn't he take his Shisen head to sacrifice the flag?
