Guan Pingzhong's face was pale, he had been in the army for 24 years, he was well aware of military discipline, and Li Yingfa had already violated the ban in the army: wherever he went, he abused the people and forced women to commit adultery. He has an impression of Li Yingfa, brave in battle, heroic, less than thirty years old, he was awarded the rank of Zhaowu Lieutenant (Zheng Liupin), he is a promising general, I really didn't expect that when he arrived at the place, he was so bold and reckless, Guan Pingzhong felt sad and felt sorry for Li Yingfa. Therefore, Guan Pingzhong's pace quickened and crossed Jiang Anyi, hoping to enter the house first and strive for some room for maneuver.

Kicking on the half-covered door, Guan Pingzhong stepped into the house angrily. Several women in the room were disheveled, trembling and crying, dodging the big hands that reached out to them, and several military men stood around with lewd smiles on their faces, reaching out and touching their bodies from time to time, teasing them. There are wine and food on the square table in the center, and two people are sitting on the left and right, looking at it with a smile, and Li Yingfa is in the center of the left head.

Guan Pingzhong kicked the door into the house, startling everyone, Li Yingfa found that it was Guan Pingzhong, so frightened that the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he sat on the chair for a long time without getting up. Those few military men usually came into contact with Guan Pingzhong, and Guan Pingzhong was wearing ordinary people's clothes, so they didn't recognize him, and scolded and came around him.

"Lao Tzu is Guan Pingzhong, do you want to rebel?" Guan Pingzhong scolded. At this time, Jiang Anyi came to the door and stood at the door without entering. Guan Pingzhong's thoughts, Jiang Anyi knew that the two usually got along well, and this favor had to be sold.

"Stop", Li Yingfa finally relieved himself, got up and drank the military man, and said respectfully: "General Guan, why are you here?" ”

Guan Pingzhong strode in front of Li Yingfa, raised his hand and slapped him twice, and scolded: "Li Yingfa, you are so bold, let you come to disaster relief, you robbed the house, and you are here to be a prestige and a blessing in Lutong County, do you know that you have violated military discipline and should be beheaded according to the law." ”

Li Yingfa's face turned white, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he subconsciously glanced at Liu Weigang, the captain of Zhenwu on the side, if it weren't for Liu Weigang saying that 'the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, Lutong County is more than 200 miles away from Huiye Mansion, and the army has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and a little enjoyment is nothing', how could he go farther and farther step by step, and it would be too late to say anything now.

Liu Wei just calmed down from the turmoil, he saw that there were only two people coming, and there was a young man besides Guan Pingzhong, who was probably Guan Pingzhong's entourage, and he couldn't help but be bold. Pressing the knife, Liu Weigang smiled and said: "Why did the general come to Lutong County, the lowly rank and others have lost their distance, and I hope the general will forgive him." General, the wind and cold are coming from afar, please sit down and drink two glasses to go to the wind cold. As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the stunned soldier and motioned for them to surround the gate.

Guan Pingzhong sneered: "Liu Weigang, Li Yingfa was bewitched by you, you don't throw away your blades, follow me to the army." ”

Li Ying's face was like ashes, and he was about to take off the scimitar at his waist when he reached out, and Liu Weigang shouted: "General Li is slow." General Guan is a robe in the army, so why do things too much. We have already known our mistakes, and we will never dare to do it again, so please let the general be lenient. ”

Guan Ping Zhongxin said, Jiang Tingshi is watching from the side, I want to speak, I'm afraid I can't get rid of it. immediately said with a straight face: "The military discipline is strict, and there is no room for personal feelings, so if you have anything to say in the camp." ”

Liu Weigang pulled out his knife and yelled at Li Ying: "Brother Li, General Guan is going to put you and me to death, in this case, it is better to fight a fish and kill him, let's take the brothers to another place." ”

Li Yingfa's hand held the handle of the knife, a hesitant look appeared on his face, Guan Pingzhong was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Li Yingfa, it doesn't matter if you look for death yourself, it doesn't affect your family." ”

"Hey, hey, hey", Liu Weigang let out a sneer, and said: "Brother Li, even if you obey the order to ambush and tie up, what will happen to your family, when the time comes, it is not the wife to break up, it is better for us to kill the surname Guan, I know that a secret road can be out of the fortress without passing through the checkpoint, and when you get to the outside of the fortress, with more than a thousand brothers, or for horse thieves or descending to the country, you will be at ease, a hundred times stronger than now." ”

After speaking, Liu Weigang swung a steel knife and slashed at Guan Pingzhong, not letting everyone have time to think, and shouted: "Brothers, do it quickly." ”

Those soldiers drew their waist knives and went to Guan Pingzhong one after another. Guan Pingzhong drew his sword and shouted, "Be bold, look for death." ”

Li Yingfa gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Fight quickly, kill General Guan and let's leave." ”

There was a fight in the house, and more than ten soldiers poured out of the wings on both sides, Jiang Anyi couldn't just look at the excitement, he dodged into the house, and inserted it like a ghost in the gap between the sword and sword shadows, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Yingfa.

There was a young man in front of Li Yingfa, and before he could raise the knife, Jiang Anyi's hand grabbed his throat like lightning and lifted him in the air. Jiang Anyi shouted: "Stop." ”

Everyone was stunned, the Lord will fall into the hands of others, how can this battle be fought? With a quick attack just now, Guan Pingzhong drew two cuts on his body, took the opportunity to retreat to Jiang Anyi's side, and shouted: "If you don't lose your weapon, do you really want to wait for the raid to destroy the house?" ”

The newly intruded soldiers outside the house did not know why, but they saw Captain Li being held up in the air, kicking his hands and legs indiscriminately, and then looking to the side, it was actually General Guan, and under the prestige, someone lost his weapon. Liu Weigang didn't look good, if the situation was controlled by Guan Pingzhong, he would not be able to escape the death penalty, he attacked Jiang Anyi with red eyes, and shouted in his mouth: "Save General Li, there are only two of them, everyone will do it together, it is a capital crime anyway, it is better to fight." ”

The soldiers who had moved their hands raised their knives again, Jiang Anyi flicked his sleeves, rolled up a wine glass on the table, and smashed it at Liu Weigang's forehead. Liu Weigang's steel knife was erected, blocking his forehead, and the wine glass was smashing on the knife surface, to Liu Weigang's surprise, the small wine glass was like a heavy hammer, and the steel knife was slapped to his face, with a crisp sound of "pop", the steel knife was heavily pasted on his face. Liu Weigang's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.

A person who knows the goods exclaimed: "The master of the house." ”

As soon as the hand was released, the weapon "dangchang" fell to the ground, and then it sounded into a string, and everyone knelt on the ground.

As soon as Jiang Anyi's hand was released, Li Yingfa fell to the ground, panting with his mouth open, his eyes full of despair.

Guan Pingzhong asked Li Yingfa, Liu Weigang and several military men in the house to tie up, and asked them to go to the barracks to deliver the letter. The effort was not big, the sound of a leaf sounded outside the house, several generals entered the house, and when they saw Guan Pingzhong sitting in the center, they hurriedly saluted, and Guan Pingzhong secretly sighed.

It is inconvenient for Jiang Anyi to participate in military affairs, but Liu Weigang's words attracted Jiang Anyi's attention, the Yuan Tianjiao fled from the desert to the Rong Mi Kingdom, and this Liu Weiguo is not a member of the Yuan Tianjiao. When Guan Pingzhong heard Jiang Anyi say this, he simply tied Li Yingfa and Jiang Weigang in the wing, and waited for Long Wei to arrive.

The officials of Lutong County got the message, and they came to Cao's house to meet Jiang Tingshi, and saw that there were officers and soldiers with guns and knives everywhere inside and outside Cao's house, and they couldn't help but feel worried. When I entered the hall and saw the history of the river thorn with a sinking face, an ominous premonition floated through everyone's hearts.

The psychology of luck was broken by Jiang Anyi's words, and the officials of Lutong County knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Jiang Anyi really wanted to behead all these corrupt officials, but disaster relief could not be done without officials.

"Let's write down the crimes of the time being, this official allows you to wear the crime and make meritorious service, and make up for the merits, if anyone dares to continue to be evil, then the crime is added to the crime, the court has a clear will, the disaster relief is deceived and concealed, the private pockets are full, and the people are very angry, the court allows the official to cut first and then play." Jiang Anyi sacrificed the sword of Shang Fang given by the court.

Zhao Zhongyou, the commander of Lutong County, was already kowtowing on his forehead, and when he heard Jiang Tingshi's words, there was room for maneuver, and he hurriedly complained: "Your Excellency, you should do your best to atone for your sins, in addition to returning the stolen silver, you will also offer your official duties to contribute to disaster relief." The humble post also has to persuade all colleagues and wealthy households in the county to participate in the grand event, and they will definitely make up for it. ”

In the next few days, Long Wei also found out a number of cases of embezzlement of disaster relief money and grain in various places, compared with Jiang Anyi's soft-heartedness, Long Wei's knife was bloody, beheaded six government officials, arrested two chief bookkeepers, the current name of the county and the county magistrate of Luqiu County, cleared a group of small officials who took the opportunity to fill their pockets, and also raided three grain merchants who took the opportunity to raise grain prices.

Jiang Anyi sent these cases to the affected counties through official documents, and many people were frightened, and they withdrew their outstretched black hands one after another, and secretly returned the embezzled money.

In Jingyuan County, the main road has been cleared, and some anxious merchants are preparing to go from Cumulus Pass to the Western Regions with goods. However, no one dredged the snow outside Cumulus Pass, and several caravans that ventured out of the customs were forced to return, so the inns in Jingyuan County were full, and it was not easy to find a quiet place to live.

Xu Minghua entered Jingyuan County as soon as the road was clear, and as an observer of the Imperial Historical Observatory in the northwest states, as soon as he heard that the northwest counties of Huazhou had suffered a snowstorm, he realized that his opportunity to make meritorious contributions had come. He and Jiang Anyi are in the same year, both of them are in the ninth year of Fengle and the first, but Jiang Anyi is the champion, and he is the seventh in the second class. That year, Xu Minghua was twenty-one years old.

The official was elected to Hengzhou Li'an County to serve as the county leader, Fengle returned to Beijing in the thirteenth year to serve as the recorder of the Eight Grades in the Yushitai, and Fengle served as the Northwest Observer in the fifteenth year, supervising the discipline and criminal prison in the six states in the northwest. Some official titles have high and low authority, and the Observatory of the Imperial Historical Observatory is one of them.

For Jiang Anyi in the same year, Xu Minghua, who was born in Zhangyi Academy, was naturally unconvinced, in his opinion, Jiang Anyi was a fortunate minister, who voted for the fate of the Son of Heaven, and his career advanced by leaps and bounds. At the gathering of Zhangyi's classmates in Beijing, everyone inevitably talked about Jiang Anyi of Zechang Academy, and sighed that Zechang Academy has Jiang Anyi, and it will be overwhelmed by Zhangyi Academy in the next 20 years. Xu Minghua, who was one of the four shows of Zhangyi Academy, secretly cheered up, why can't I, Xu Minghua, do what Jiang Anyi can do.

Northwest inspection, Xu Minghua most of the attention was on Huazhou, Jiang Anyi's blockage of the trade route caused the Huazhou squire to be angry, he had secretly reported to the Yushitai, but the Son of Heaven was partial and did not hurt Jiang Anyi in the slightest. Xu Minghua came to the first time in this Huazhou snow disaster, he just wanted to see how Jiang Anyi provided disaster relief, so as to find out Jiang Anyi's mistakes and suppress Jiang Anyi's momentum.
