Three days ago.
Guizhou Governor's Yamen Hall.
When General Chen Jingye and Deputy General Qiao Ping'an were called into the lobby, Governor He Guanying and Admiral Tian Xingshu were already seated on the left and right of the hall.
"The lower officials have met the governor! I have met the commander!"
"Two of you are exempt! I have already opened the soap and served the government, there are no outsiders, everyone does not have to be polite, sit and talk. He Guanying said.
"I don't know what the two adults are calling me to come for!" asked General Chen.
This Chen Shen General, is born in the army, from a martial arts family, has practiced since childhood, some boxing foundations, and then got the guidance of the masters of the rivers and lakes, knives, guns, sticks, swords, bows...... All have high attainments and performance, are calm and skilled, and make good use of their minds, so they have achieved the general of Futai's subordinate Fubiao Zhongjun step by step.
Vice General Qiao Ping'an, who came with General Chen Jingye, was different. He is the brother-in-law of Admiral Tian Xingshu, he is not a bad person, but his qualifications are mediocre, and it is difficult to become a great weapon. Tian Xingshu originally wanted to promote and reuse him as his confidant and right-hand man who could share worries and solve problems, but he had no ambitions, and he was willing to be complacent and not seek progress. Tian Xingshu hated this brother-in-law, and often couldn't help but be sarcastic and reprimanded, but because of the face of the insider, he had no choice but to go with him.
"Deng Erheng, the political history of Yunnan, was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, and on the way to his post, the two of them should know about the killing in Qujing!" Governor He asked.
"Aren't the bandits who killed Deng Erheng? They said that they were killed for money, but they were killed because Deng Erheng resisted. Vice Admiral Qiao said.
"If you are a bandit, do you dare to go to the prefect's yamen to kill officials and rob money?" asked Admiral Tian to Vice General Qiao.
"Don't dare. Give me ten dares, and I don't dare. Vice Admiral Qiao shook his head and said.
"Why?"
"Because killing officials is a felony of rebellion and rebellion, and will be beheaded by all the people. ”
"Will the bandits over there in Yunnan be even more stupid than you?" Admiral Tian showed no mercy at all.
"This .......," Vice General Qi choked.
"Xia Guan has also heard that it is the early spring of the beginning of the year, and the case has not been closed yet?"
First of all, the governor of Yunnan, Yamen, caught a few bandits and wanted to do a perfunctory thing, but was reprimanded by the emperor. Later, it was investigated and handled by Zhang Liangji, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he was good, but when he saw the depth of the case, he found an excuse and went home to care for the elderly. The emperor again ordered Liu Yuanhao, the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, this person is cunning and cunning, and he knows that the person who provokes Xu Zhiming will be more and less auspicious, so he did not dare to set foot in Yunnan, so he simply pretended to be sick, and resigned and returned to his hometown with the intention of 'old age and begging' (that is, illness), unwilling to go to his post...... He then sent the Manchurian Fuji to take over as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but Fuji also refused with excuses...... A while ago, news came from the capital: Pan Duo may be the governor of Yungui and take over the case. This Pan Duo, a native of Jiangning, Jiangsu (now Nanjing), Daoguang Jinshi, served as the governor of Henan and Hunan, this person is an official and fair, selfless with an iron face, and does not show favoritism. Yungui has his involvement, and sooner or later he will be turned over. Anyway, since he heard that Pan Duo might take office, Governor Xu Zhiming is like an ant on a hot pot, and there is not a day when he is not worried. Now, as long as he can't sleep, he will send people to the governors of the southwest provinces to move to the yamen, or send a handbook to move to the meeting, or send a message to the advisory notice.
"What does the secret letter say?" asked General Chen.
"That's why I'm here for you today. Governor He said, "Just now I was discussing with Lord Tian. The secret letter said that Deng Erheng's sister-in-law had entered the ground of Guizhou with his (Deng Erheng's) daughter. Lord Xu said that the two aunts and nephews were involved in the murder of Deng Erheng, which is an important witness, and he wants us to arrest these two daughters and escort them to Yunnan Fuya......, regardless of whether they live or die."
Without waiting for Governor He to finish speaking, Deputy Staff General Qiao couldn't wait to perform: "No, just two women, leave it to me to handle it, don't work Lord Chen to go out." For such a trivial matter, Lord Chen won't fight with me, right?"
"Can you stop for a while, and wait for Lord He to finish speaking before making a statement, okay?" Admiral Tian stopped him dissatisfied.
"Vice General Qiao can take the initiative to ask Ying to run errands, and his spirit is commendable!" Governor He smiled. He and Admiral Tian were officials in the same dynasty, even if they had common interests to maintain, they could not afford departmental friction, intrigue, and deceit. In his eyes, this Deputy General Qiao is just a straw bale, and he is not even qualified to show him the door. But don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, in order to take care of the façade of Admiral Tian, when discussing major matters, he still calls him without exception, after all, he is Admiral Tian's brother-in-law, the only credible person, although incompetent, but very reliable, just a little ignorant of lifting, not very interesting, just love to be in the limelight. "Of course, if you only deal with two women, Vice General Qiao will naturally be fine. However, behind the two women, there were also four top-notch masters of martial arts, and the secret letter said: They sent officials to investigate the case by the Criminal Department, and inquired about the whereabouts of the aunt and nephew of the Deng family everywhere. On the way, he not only killed Tang Jian, the prefect of Qujing, and Yuan Zhenglun, but also killed several officials who pursued them. Those who were killed either cut their throats with a sword, or their hearts, lungs, and skulls were shattered, and Lord Xu asked us to behead them on the spot and burn their corpses. If you can really clean up and dispose of those four top-notch masters with first-class martial arts, I will immediately write to the emperor and ask him to give you my position as governor, and I will go back to the countryside to plant sweet potatoes. What do you think?"
"This ...... Well, I'm the deputy general, so I'll help Lord Chen!" Vice General Qiao retreated. He can afford to take it, put it down, and is not afraid of jokes. This Vice Admiral Qiao, if he has no other skills, he will fight against the fox and fake the tiger, but he is also a little self-aware, he knows very well that his three-legged cat kung fu with fists and embroidered legs, let alone against masters, even against low hands, he is not sure.
"This is strange, the top master of first-class martial arts, the criminal department appointed officials to investigate the case, just to find the aunt and nephew of the Deng family, robbing money? How many gold, silver and jewelry can a person who is in difficulty and fleeing?
Admiral Tian exchanged glances with Governor He, nodded and praised: "General Chen is worthy of being a good general in the Fubiao Army, and what he said is extremely true! Before you two came here, Master He and I were also suspicious, and we also felt headaches and indecision because of this. ”
"What's so difficult about this? Pull up all the soldiers and horses under me and General Chen, no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't fight our army of hundreds or thousands of people, right?" Vice General Qiao said confidently.
"I think what the two adults are worried about is not whether they can catch them, but whether they can catch them...... General Chen analyzed.
