Chapter 1584: Cui Jiuzhi
The embalmed thieves' heads could barely be put down, but the shelf life of Yaotianwang's corpse was really limited, Liu Mingtang couldn't delay, and after chatting with Luo Chong, he embarked on the return journey on the same day with the battle exploits that had already been loaded into the carriage.
Luo Chong has nothing to do here, just wait for promotion.
A few words of gossip, there is a phenomenon in today's Jin Dynasty, that is, civil officials below the fourth rank and military attaches below the third grade, as long as they are local officials, whether they are promoted or rewarded, they will not send eunuchs down to read the holy decree, because there is really no money, and this travel expense is saved.
And to escort the holy decree reward or something, the fewer people sent are not enough to show the royal style, and it is easy to be robbed by some stunned bandits on the road who don't know anything, even if they can send troops to take it back, it will also lose the royal majesty.
Send more people, the cost is too great, and it is also a complaint to let the local government send troops to escort it, and it is noisy: the imperial court does not give appropriations, and always increases the burden on us, and it is not a holy decree and reward for me, why should I send troops to escort it?
Therefore, if it can be dispensed with, whether it is promoted or transferred, all of them have been changed to letters of appointment, and they will be sent to the local government in an expedited form, and the superior leader of this official will be responsible for awarding awards.
As for what 'reward of 1,000 taels of silver' and '200 taels of gold' are basically just talking, this money, it is rare to see the imperial court really send it down, anyway, Luo Chong's reward of 1,000 taels of silver has not been delivered yet, it should be hopeless.
Don't say it's absurd, it's not once or twice that the emperor has asked the ministers to borrow money to pay the border army, and he stretched out his hand to ask for it last year, and the Manchu Dynasty only paid a few thousand taels for the civil and military forces, all of them are masters of crying poor.
For this reason, the emperor was furious and found fault and dismissed the two ministers, but later, under the pressure of the ministers, he reactivated the family.
said that he was faint, not because he was confused, but because of his extremely poor character. When he first stretched out his hand to borrow money, there was indeed a stupid minister who took out 10,000 taels of silver, which was said to be very good for the emperor, but after he took the silver, he began to ponder: Fuck, others took out a hundred taels as if they had been castrated, why are you so rich?
So, it didn't take long to find an excuse to ask people for the crime and raid the house.
Since then, the ministers have all grown their hearts: can they borrow money, but if there is more, they will grit their teeth and dig out more than ten or twenty taels!
In addition to some other things, he said that he would let a certain minister do things, and I would help you carry it out if something went wrong, but it really went wrong, and he was afraid that the ministers would criticize him behind his back and scold him for being confused, so he turned around and didn't admit it, and asked the loyal minister who was willing to help him deal with the trouble.
He took it for granted, you are a courtier, it is right to carry the black pot for me, and then find an opportunity to make up for you. But as soon as this passed, I turned around and forgot everything about people's surnames.
Should be rewarded or not, no responsibility, no faith, repaying virtue with grievances, such a superior is the most failure, who will still be interested in him among the courtiers below, they must all be united to coax and coax, and they can be blinded, this is the most terrible faint king, worse than not caring about anything.
The decline of a dynasty is not just the sin of a generation of emperors, but the emperors of this generation are indeed a bit strange, and none of his ancestors in eight generations has such a bad character.
The topic returned to Luo Chong, the form of the letter of appointment has an advantage that you don't have to deal with those eunuchs who announced the decree, so you don't have to be disgusted by them, and the appointment of official positions is relatively fast, and you can come down after waiting too long, you just need to go to the general army of Guangning to get the official uniform, official seal and military talisman.
The official position of the chief soldier is the highest military governor of a province, and the etiquette in the army does not need to kneel, but the solemn and mighty, concise and powerful military salute is sufficient, otherwise, Luo Chong will still engage in those illusion spells, making them feel that they have knelt.
In other words, even if it was just their hallucination, they had never really knelt, Luo Chong estimated that he would feel very uncomfortable when he touched himself, and he always wanted to kill them when he turned around.
Well, our character is not good......
A few days later, Uncle Feng came to Luo Chong and whispered: "There are a few outsiders in the town, looking around, looking suspicious, I asked a security officer to find an excuse to go up and talk, I feel that their accent has a Beijing accent that can't be concealed......"
Coming down from Kyori?
Luo Chong pondered, isn't it that the credit for quelling the chaos is too great, which has attracted the attention of some bigwigs in the capital, and even fell into the emperor's sight, so he sent secret agents to come down to investigate me?
They can't help but look around, some of their practices have exceeded the scope of what thousands of households in the health center can bear, and in the eyes of people with hearts, they will feel that their plans are not small.
For example, if there are no hundreds of soldiers under other thousand households, why do you want to recruit more than a thousand?
Another example, what is it that receives more than 3,000 refugees, and what do you use to feed them if the health center is so poor?
This is something that is impossible for a normal thousand households to do, and if they do it themselves, this is called abnormal! If there is a difference, it is worth being vigilant.
"Haishan, take a team of people and arrest them. ”
Luo Chong did not hesitate, and immediately gave an order to his deputy, Hong Haishan.
"Move, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
Uncle Feng immediately reminded: "If it is the Jinyi guard in the capital, it can't be moved." ”
"I don't care who he is, find a place to bury it, who knows I did it. ”
Luo Chong replied lightly: "The road is so chaotic, maybe it was done by another group of thieves." ”
There are no mobile phones in this world, and Jinyiwei can't report their whereabouts to Jingli all the time, who knows if they have reached Guangling Town.
"This kid is so bold. ”
Uncle Feng didn't have much to say, so he could only pray secretly in his heart not to make a situation out of control.
The people arranged by Hong Haishan must be the first batch of military masters, and the cultivation of internal strength is already in full swing, as long as they are not top martial artists like female assassins, they should not miss under the sudden sneak attack.
It didn't take long for Hong Haishan to return, with a burnt palm mark on his shoulder, but only four fingers and a small tail finger.
"My lord, their strength is not weak, and the person in charge is not weaker than me, I took a slap in the face before I gave Tie Zhu a chance to knock him out. ”
Hong Haishan's breath is a little disordered, but it doesn't matter.
Luo Chong casually gave him a pill that prescribed the right medicine, and stood up: "Let's go, go and see." ”
During the whole process, Luo Chong didn't use his divine thoughts to observe, he just wanted to deal with Yiqiē as a martial artist in this world, the big deal is that the strongest martial artist, it's okay to cheat occasionally, no one cares anyway.
In short, I have become more and more involved in Luo Dong's life, and sometimes I have to forget that I am still a chaos powerhouse.
In the dungeon interrogation room of the Yamen of the Thousand Households, four people were tied up and shackled, but they all woke up and watched Luo Chong walk in.
The leader looked calm, but the three subordinates were all angry, as if to say: How dare you attack us?
"From the capital?"
Luo Chong fiddled with the soldering iron in the fire, feeling like a traitor who framed Zhongliang.
"Cui Jiuzhi, Jinyi Wei Baihu. ”
The leader's tone was calm, as if he was not angry because of the treatment at the moment.
Jin Yiwei belongs to the royal spies, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, has special powers, and is terrible wherever he goes. Don't look at him as just a hundred households, local prefect-level officials will be quite polite when they see him.
His three subordinates were all full of pride, and said silently: How about it, I'm afraid, let us go quickly!
But they were very disciplined, and when the chief didn't let them speak, they didn't dare to speak, and could only express with their eyes, and they were really tired.
Cui Jiuzhi does only have nine fingers, and his right hand is missing the tail finger, obviously, this name must have been changed later.
"Come to Guangling Town, is there anything wrong?" Luo Chong asked.
"Naturally, something's going on. ”
Cui Jiuzhi's next words not only surprised Hong Haishan and the others beside Luo Chong, but even his three subordinates were as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Before we talk, let's kill the three of them first. ”
Cui Jiuzhi actually made a strange request to kill his subordinates.
Luo Chong's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded to his subordinates, Hong Haishan, Tie Zhu and Yue Hu walked over at the same time, and with a click, they twisted the necks of the three brocade guards.
"Luo Qianhu, you want to be a ranger general, which not only makes some officials in the capital puzzled, but also makes the emperor curious. ”
Cui Jiuzhi said slowly: "Obviously, this is not a very oily official position, the imperial court does not give funds, what do you use to form that ranger?"
Luo Chong listened and didn't interrupt.
"This official position will definitely be given to you, after all, it has already been dotted up and down, but Jin Yiwei will definitely come down to investigate and see what you are trying to do. ”
Cui Jiuzhi continued: "In terms of the current situation, this is not a big deal, so I took the initiative to ask Ying, took some connections, and asked for this errand from the commander. These three subordinates have to be brought, this is the rule of Jinyi Guards to supervise each other. ”
"Take the initiative to ask for it?" Luo Chong tilted his head to look at him: "What can I make you curious?"
"Not me. ”
Cui Jiuzhi shook his head: "It is the Sect Leader of the Taiping Holy Sect, in fact, my other identity is the disciple of the Sect Master." ”
"Understood. ”
Luo Chong also knew that the sect leader had lost the two great respects in a row, and he didn't dare to come to see him, so he asked this disciple who was secretly lurking in the Jinyi Guard to come over, with the identity of the Jinyi Guard, it was unlikely that he would be rude to him as soon as he came up, and he would have some scruples.
After all, I'm still an official.
But they still miscalculated, and they were captured alive as soon as they entered the town. In our place, the three words of Jinyiwei are not easy to use.
"That's right, your two great venerables are alive and haven't suffered much damage, and when you go back, you can also become the right-hand man of the Taiping Sect Master. ”
Luo Chong dragged a stool and sat down: "Say, what kind of conditions can I come up with?"
"The covert support of some officials in the court. ”
Cui Jiuzhi said slowly: "Maybe you don't need it, but once these people turn against you, it will inevitably pose a lot of resistance to your future promotion, my sect began to infiltrate the court more than a hundred years ago, and has cultivated a lot of power." ”
Then he hurriedly added: "This is not a threat, but after all, if you destroy the Great Venerable and the Second Venerable, I can't do nothing, right?"
"Well, it's not a threat, go on. ”
Luo Chong waved his hand: "Just relying on this kind of false conditions, it is naturally far from enough. ”
Who knows how powerful you are in the court, one official is also, and so are ten officials, and they don't have the words Taiping Sect engraved on their faces.
(Coffee: A setting like Jin Yiwei is not for laziness, but for everyone to make it easier to understand, otherwise, make up some messy names, and explain their duties and characteristics in large paragraphs of text that are not nutritious.) Just like that, everyone knows what they do. )
