In Jicui City, the head of the investigation was irritable, the Lingbo standard team mutinied, Gao Yuan was dismissed, the bridge close to the imperial county lord was broken, and the dream of promotion and fortune was shattered.

"My lord, the commander of the Lingbo Biao team asks to see you. ”

A patrol officer walked in and whispered a report, and the arrest head waved his hand impatiently: "Tell her, say that I am handling cases outside, and I am only in charge of criminal cases here, and I have military affairs to go to the Governor's Mansion." ”

"My lord, the guard behind him is the captain of the guard you befriended, Takagaki. ”

"Captain of the guard, hehe, the former captain, this will be avoided, and if I get close to him again, I am joking with my life. Go and say I'm not there. ”

The patrol went out, and the head of the investigation stopped him again: "Forget it, that guy is not bad, everyone has bad luck, and it is all friendship to see each other, please invite them in." ”

"See Lord Cha. ”

Wen nodded softly as if he had said hello, Gao Yuan saluted respectfully, raised his hand not to hit the smiling person, and politely gave up his seat: "Chief Wen Biao, please take a seat, Captain Gao, I went to the standard team a few days ago, and the sentry said that you have official business to leave the camp, hehe, how can you have time to come to my little yamen." ”

"The adults ran away, Gao Yuan really didn't want to go, and when the grassland reconnaissance was collected, a few groups of thieves were packed, and the adults were invited to see these stolen goods. ”

Gao Yuan put on a color, Li Changgong took out a stack of silver tickets and presented them with both hands, and the head of the arrest suddenly shrank his heart, the denomination on it was 10,000 taels, and these silver tickets were afraid that there were hundreds of thousands, so he hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "There is a custom of suppressing bandits, and the stolen goods are used as military expenses, what does Captain Gao mean?"

"The county lord strictly ordered the stolen goods to be handed over to the public, if you don't accept it, I won't be able to pay it back," Gao Yuan gently flapped his token when he spoke: "We are both unlucky, aren't you afraid of being affected?"

Qianlong Order, the head of the arrest was about to bow down at a glance, Gao Yuan hurriedly held it with both hands: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite, rumors about the standard team are flying all over the sky, and the county lord specially gave the standard token to the standard chief, worried about being despised by others, hehe, I thought the adults would avoid it." ”

This made Cha embarrassed. The head of the arrest straightened up and reprimanded the patrol officer repeatedly: "Why do you need to report when Captain Wen Biao and Captain Gao come to the door, don't go and make tea quickly." ”

The patrol put on the tea cup, and the head of the arrest waved his hand and reprimanded: "Your guests must have something important to do when they come to the door, and tell the brothers on duty that no one is allowed to approach." ”

Li Changgong put the silver ticket on the table, followed the patrol and withdrew, Gao Yuan smiled and arched his hand: "There are no outsiders here, I will go straight to the topic, I really have something to bother adults." ”

Although Captain Gao commanded, Cha would never refuse. ”

"The Lingbo standard team has a thin background, and if it weren't for the reward of the county lord, they wouldn't even be able to match the war horses. Hehe, this trip to reconnoitre, make friends with the leaders of the steppe tribes, and want to do some business to make up for military expenses, I don't know what kind of procedures to go through, and I ask for my lord's guidance. ”

The eyelids of the head of the investigation jumped, the army does business, this is not an obvious violation of military discipline, who dares to go through the formalities for you, don't have a head.

"You know, there are many noble children in the pro-guard team, this battle must be won, and the silver must be earned, each family has made some shares, and the Yanhou Mansion takes the lead, hehe, do you have any intentions?"

The head of the investigation is a little excited, dozens of nobles are partnering, and the Yanhou Mansion takes the lead, even if anyone dares to investigate the law, the county king's mansion will turn a blind eye.

Seeing this, Wen Qingrou added another fire to him: "Don't worry, Lord Cha, we are serious about business and will not do illegal things." To tell you the truth, the county lord has the lion's share. He mused for a while and whispered to the bottom: "Hehe, the war is not big, the county is mainly fighting an economic war and gradually buying off the grassland tribes, we don't do this business, can we give it to others to make a fortune." ”

"I'll handle the formalities, how much share capital is needed, Captain Gao will give the number, and Cha will find a way to make it up. "Don't hesitate to arrest the head of the car, the county lord is the boss behind the Chamber of Commerce, and she will be on top when the sky falls, so let the deputy general and the lieutenant know that it will have his share.

Gao Yuan picked up the silver ticket on the table and waved his hand with a smile: "This 200,000 is your share capital, and the annual dividend will not be less than 50,000." ”

"Then Cha will be cheeky and thankful, and if you need to patrol and come forward in the future, just send someone to pass on a message. "The head of the investigation said that serious business needs the help of criminal errands, but illegal business can be profitable, there is no risk but to run more, 50,000 taels of dividends a year, and his money is not enough to save if he doesn't spend it in his life.

got on the same thief ship, Gao Yuan was no longer polite: "The housekeeper of Yanfu will arrive later, and the formalities are troublesome for the adults to help, and you have to take care of these materials." ”

The head of the search took the list, and after reading it carefully, he asked suspiciously: "There are so many tools for building the city, it will take time to purchase them completely." Captain Gao, what is the use of the steppe tribes asking for these things?"

"I didn't mean to deceive my lord, we don't know the deployment of the county lord, it's not easy to inquire about military secrets, hehe, military supplies, just buy low and sell high to make a fortune. ”

The head of the investigation nodded again and again: "It's me who is too talkative, haha, there has been no big war at the border in the past few decades, and there are many warehouses for city building tools. ”

Refused to check the head of the banquet, Wen gently took the two back to the inn, as soon as he entered the door, Li Changgong bared his teeth: "Gao Yuan, the master finally saved 100,000 taels, you bribed all of them, is this your private loan or the standard army?" Wen lightly hit him: "Where did you get the 100,000 taels? Hmph, the rumors don't seem to be groundless, you kid didn't make less money when recruiting people." ”

Gao Yuan took out the silver ticket, counted five and threw it over, and put the rest into his arms, and smiled maliciously: "Hide it tightly enough, if I don't say that you will make a big deal, you won't take it out." The old rules, you know. Seeing Li Changgong rushing over, he hurriedly hid behind Wen Qingrou and threatened: "Dare to make a move, if you lose, you will confiscate everything." ”

Li Changgong retracted his feet with a backflip, gritted his teeth and scolded: "When the young master is strong, he will look good with you." I want to collect benefits, and if you block it, this will run to divide the account, and it will be serious. ”

"You two don't exist when I don't exist, and then make a fuss about it. This bit of silver is gentle and can't look down on it, and the anger is that the two of them blatantly share the spoils in front of her, and they feel happy after a while, and it is not difficult to see from this detail that Gao Yuan really didn't treat her as an outsider.

"Takagaki, I suddenly had an idea. Wen sat down gently and said in a low voice: "You and Li Changgong are both orphans, and you can't make a fortune on military salaries, and sooner or later something will happen if you mess around." Now that we invite everyone to join, why don't you two get some shares, and make war money to cover up. ”

Li Changgong patted his head and answered: "I'll wait for you to nod from the standard, fifty thousand taels, I'll press it all in." Takagaki nodded: "Me too." ”

"Look at you two. Wen gently took out the silver ticket, counted a few and threw them on the table, glared at Li Changgong before speaking: "According to the example of the head of the investigation, the share capital of each family is 200,000, and I will also add a share, by the way, I will help you two make up for it, and say okay, half of the dividend is the interest on the loan." Hmph, if you don't look at Gao Yuan's face, I won't lend you a penny Li Longbow. ”

"There are a lot of adults, hehe, I'm Gao Yuan's dogleg, he is the captain of your personal guard, and the family doesn't talk to each other. Li Changgong grabbed the silver ticket and flattered him cheekily.

"Rest early, run tomorrow, dozens of them, strive to do it in ten days, and leave some room for the people behind." ”

It takes a lot of craftsmen and countless materials to build a city, and the enemy will not wait for it to be completed, and must deploy defenses before they can react. Gao Yuan wants to unite dozens of nobles, using the guise of the Chamber of Commerce to confuse the public, the nobles are not short of money, some are manpower, in just half a month, without the help of the big family, the preparation is difficult to complete, and dealing with the nobles, there are few reliable, familiar and idle people, Wen Qingrou has become the best object.

In Sanhewan, the Lingbo standard team was calm on the surface, but secretly the pace was fast to the limit, Gao Yuan persuaded the nobles to join in, the Mei Ying sisters led the guards to inspect the standard team, Yan Ning went to the standard camp to report, Qin Rufeng integrated the students, and the four groups of people had different divisions of labor but were just as busy.

In Fengyun City, the king of Xiangyun County sat leisurely in the first place, chatting with several cronies.

If the enemy does not attack, it can not only preserve its strength, but also will not let the king seize the handle, the Triple Alliance has never been broken for thousands of years, the regular army cannot enter the Sanzhi Zone, and the 20,000 students cannot break the Sunset Fortress, everyone enjoys the desert scenery together, and the fire has come to a natural end.

"Report to the prince, the third prince is back. ”

The king of the county indifferently ordered: "Let him go to the side room and wait, he can't even find out the spies around him, he has been in the children's camp for more than ten years, and his limbs are diligent and his head is rusty." ”

The pro-soldier did not leave immediately, and seeing that the others were about to speak and stopped, the county king asked impatiently: "What else does he have to say?" The pro-soldier did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly reported in a low voice: "The third prince said that the enemy took the initiative to retreat, and there was a big conspiracy behind him, and someone secretly calculated against the prince. ”

"Conspiracy, calculation, hahaha, I don't know how many people want to see the king's head move, but the king is alive and well, but many people go to Huangquan Difu. Even your third son can see that it can be called a big conspiracy!"

arranged for excellence to enter the Lingbo standard team, and the county king did not put much effort into it. Since he was a child, he was fostered in the home of a close confidant, the soldier died in a battle, and his wife died of illness soon after, so it was logical for him to enter the boy boy camp. In order to make him not nostalgic for the palace, the county king ruthlessly killed his mother, and did not take the slightest care for more than ten years, and lived the same as the child camp orphans, so that the excellence regarded himself as an orphan, until the Ministry of Civil Affairs ordered to prepare for the war, the county king's mansion sent someone to contact him, so that the secret investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The king of Xiangyun County originally wanted to follow the vine and touch the melon, but Mei Ying launched a mutiny, disrupting his overall plan, and reluctantly recruited back Excellence, how to explain to the king to send his children into the standard camp, and now he has not come up with a good excuse, he has not met for more than ten years, and the father and son cannot talk about their feelings.

"Lord Wang, the standard team suddenly mutinied, the person in charge is the county lord Dugu Ying, even you can only wait and see the changes, the third prince did not find out the excusable circumstances, the mutiny also caught the spies off guard, they may leave traces when they adjust the deployment. ”

A lieutenant tactfully interceded for Excellence, and the king of the county looked at him and stood up: "What you said makes a little sense, alas, it has been eleven years, and the father and son do not know each other, he has no merit and hard work, and the other children of this king, which one can endure the life of the standard camp." Captain Lei, let him be the first inspector in your battalion, and then make arrangements when he has the merits of the war. ”

"Obey the order, and the subordinates will swear to protect the third prince to the death. ”

The county king stopped and shook his head and smiled: "You have misunderstood the meaning of this king, you don't need special protection, you can kill from the chaotic army, you are the good son of this king, the imperial county lord is at the border in person, and he has no reason not to go to the battlefield as a county prince." ”

The guards hurriedly returned: "Report to the prince, the Lingbo standard team gently asks for a meeting." ”
