Chapter 172: The Tenth Rank of the Rank of Official, Kills a Person

It has only been more than 50 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and less than 20 years have passed since the Battle of Jingyan, so among the local capitals, from the commander to the commander, a whole group of generals are either heroes or the children of heroes, and the worst ones are also the generals who have established great feats in the northern expedition to the south.

In the eyes of Zhu Di, who has been in Rong Ma all his life, civil officials can certainly govern the country, but Anguo still has to rely on a group of military generals, so it is almost a rule for the imperial court to emphasize military force and light literature, and the capital division in this place is the top priority. Even with the rank of a political envoy, let alone a commanding envoy, even if he sees a commander, he often only laughs. Therefore, unless there is a need for joint official business, these political envoys, envoys, and commanders are not happy to touch each other.

The so-called arrogant generals are few generals who can fight. Just like Liu Zhongxin was walking in the county government at this time, pointing with the whip in his hand, his tone was not polite at all.

"Your yamen is too broken! Although civil servants have always been poor, you are different. I know the English ...... The one in your family is low-key and doesn't like luxury the most, but this façade is always indispensable, just like if my Dusi Yamen is also like this, then how can other generals obey? Maybe I thought all this money was put in my pocket! ”

Liu Dushuai is right. It's just that this Anqiu County is not rich, not to mention repairing the yamen, doing other things is stretched, and even if I have money in the future, I don't dare to use it to repair the yamen. Zhang Yue walked one step behind Liu Zhong, and at a glance, he could see many people who were looking, and he couldn't help but smile, "It's like I crackled and beat that bamboo board before, but people are looking forward to you Liu Dushuai coming, so as to teach me a lesson about this stunned Qingxian magistrate who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

"What Liu Dushuai, I'm not one of those civil officials who only know the rules all day long, in a word, as long as it's not a formal court counselor. Call me Uncle Liu, I'm happy! ”

Although Liu Zhong relied on Zhang Yuexian's words, it was difficult to reveal the name of the British duke, but it did not prevent him from putting on the shelf of his elders. At this time, he also followed Zhang Yuedi's gaze to look at those who were probing his brains, and suddenly raised his horsewhip and pointed in one direction, and then shouted: "Is there only one person in your yamen who knows the county, and everyone else is dead?" Ben Du Shuai specially rushed here from Qingzhou Mansion to inspect, and they didn't come to greet him. How dare you hide from anyone? ”

The man was still pondering just now, this handsome man who has always been known for his arrogance was not a teacher to ask for guilt when he arrived on the ground, which was a surprise; Zhang Yue accompanied him all the way, and the two of them were smiling, this is Erqi; Those officers who didn't seem to be of low rank actually fell behind Zhang Yue, this is Sanqi. Therefore, at this moment, this shout suddenly attracted a burst of chickens and dogs. After a while, neatly dressed Luo Wei Zhao Ming and Ma Cheng rushed over. Although it was cold, they were sweating profusely.

"Meet Liu Dushuai."

This sound was neat, but Liu Zhong only snorted from his nose, and then said angrily: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be arrogant." You know that the county adults have come out to greet Bendu Shuai, but you have only come out one by one, and you are expected to be lazy and lazy on weekdays. If you are under my command, you will be punished with a military stick for the crime of disrespecting the officials! Xiao Zhang Yue. Do you want me to cook them for you? ”

Facing this overly enthusiastic Shandong supreme military commander, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Thanks to the fact that he just reminded him outside that Liu Zhong was still a little Zhang Yue, and now people have to understand even if they don't understand. Slanted a glance at Luo Wei, Zhao Ming and Ma Cheng, who were pale, he naturally knew that Liu Zhong was just putting on a show. After all, although the history of the county master book is eight and nine grades, the military attache scolded two sentences, but the word cooking could not be talked about in any case.

Liu ...... Uncle was serious. Zhang Yue stared at Liu Zhong's bronze bell-like eyes. I had to replace the word Du Shuai with uncle. Seeing Liu Zhongmei smiling, and Luo Wei and the three of them had a ghost-like expression, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Don't you know, Luo Xiancheng and Zhao Zhushu have been sick for almost ten days, and Ma Dianshi has been busy with official business these days, so the three of them came out later, and it was definitely not intentional to be lazy." ”

Although he knew that Zhang Yue was selling well at this time, he did not have any good intentions. But the petty officials who are not in the middle of the eight or nine grades face a commander who is both the second and second grades. This kind of pressure is definitely not comfortable, so the three of Luo Wei have to appreciate it. Then he apologized repeatedly. When they walked into the third hall of the county government, they no longer thought that Liu Zhong was here to vent their anger, but felt that Zhang Yue was deliberately using this marshal to demonstrate.

However, Liu Zhong called Luo Wei and the three of them, and picked a bunch of mistakes before and after, where there was the slightest sloppy appearance of military generals, which actually showed the true character of the old oilman in the officialdom. But when he sat down in Santang and said a few words of gossip, he coughed and said: "Bendu Shuai has important business to discuss with Zhang Zhixian, you can retreat outside for the time being and wait for the summons at any time." ”

Seeing that the three slippery guys were driven out by such a sentence, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this official was one level higher and crushed people to death, and the official was more than ten levels high, which was almost a stoned death. Just thinking like this, the door outside was gently closed, followed by Liu Zhong's relaxed voice.

"Okay, okay, I knocked those three guys for you this time, and I don't think they dare to have any bad intentions in the future. But Xiao Zhang Yue, you asked me to send a letter to say that the Buddha Mother came to the world, but you were confused. Liu Zhong waved his hand to signal Zhang Yue not to defend himself, and then said, "It's good that I ban the White Lotus Sect in the Ming Dynasty, and it's not bad that Jinyi Wei has detected the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, but what does this matter to you?" There is a political secretary above, and there is a judge, you are a small county, don't stir up trouble in this troubled water. Besides, those are just fools and fools who believe in them, and they can't make any big trouble, so it's even less necessary to take precautions. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, stepped on the green brick floor in the three halls and walked a few steps, and found that the bricks were creaking and creaking a little unsteadily, and stared at the brick cracks for a long time, and then turned around and said, "The British Duke asked me to take care of the Dub envoy, and I have nothing to say about it." Since I am ordered by the emperor, as long as he finds the lair of the White Lotus Sect, I will immediately send troops to exterminate it. As for whether you have the White Lotus Sect propaganda doctrine here, you can just send someone to keep an eye on it, and if there is a big incident, send someone to report to me immediately, and I will lend you a few hundred people, but it's no problem. ”

Listening to Liu Zhong's tone, Zhang Yue knew that people were simply disdainful of what the White Lotus Sect was messing with, but it was not easy to say what he was ready to say.

It is no wonder that since the accession of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to the throne. The army suffered two heavy setbacks, one was when Qiu Fu led the army to the north to conquer Tatar and was defeated, but after that, Zhu Di made several northern expeditions, not to mention Tatar, and even Warat was beaten to the ground. The other time was that Jiaozhi openly resisted the power of the Great Tomorrow, and as a result, Zhang Fu Sizheng, who was originally a vassal country, became one of the political secretaries of the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the Ming generals, foreign enemies are all captured. What's more, it's the White Lotus Sect like a clown jumping off the beam?

However, if he was in other places, he could naturally ignore it, but he was in Anqiu County, and people preached in his territory, and if he made a mess in the future, he might come in his direction, how could he not be guarded?

Fortunately, with Liu Zhong's promise to borrow troops, Zhang Yue was at least a little relieved, thinking that there was at least one Peng Shisan who had really fought by his side. Next, Liu Zhong asked him something else. Immediately, he talked about Meng Xian, the commander of the capital who was now transferred under his command, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the emperor would transfer Lao Meng to me this time, but after he is a hero, I don't dare to call him." Hmm, Xiao Zhang Yue. I have to remind you, although your family is not a British princess, but martial arts are the foundation of the Zhang family, don't just care about making friends with civil officials. This marriage is a big deal. You still have to be with our military ministers to be considered a good match! ”

How is this upside down and off-topic?

Zhang Yue couldn't cry or laugh at this time, so he simply started a fight. When Liu Zhong was sent out of the third hall, he found that Luo Wei and the three of them were still waiting outside. Counting that the two of them were talking about business in it for at most half an hour, but they talked a lot of gossip, and these three people stood in the wind for more than an hour, which was pitiful enough - but they also deserved it!

Just now, Liu Zhong sneered and mentioned that someone had reported to the capital, and there was more than one call. This kind of guy who pushes his boss into the fire pit is just letting them suffer a little first!

Luo Wei already understood at this time that people were deliberately drying themselves. But even with the secret hatred in his heart, at this time, he still had to step forward with a respectful face and ask, "Liu Dushuai, is this leaving?" ”

"Ben Dushuai is in charge of the affairs of the entire Shandong, do you still want to keep me here to break the yamen for a long time?" Liu Zhong sneered unceremoniously, and then took the big coat from the hand of an accompanying officer and draped it over his body. Seeing that the three of them were all stomping their feet slightly on the ground, he sneered, "Bendu Shuai's personal entourage can stand motionless in the snow for two hours, you can only wait for such a short time and can't stand, the civil official is really delicate!" ”

"Xiao Zhang Yue. I'm leaving. Something to ask people to report to me. By the way, come to me during the winter solstice holiday. I have roe deer and bear paws sent from Liaodong, and this ginseng wine is enough! ”

Knowing that Liu Zhong was doing this, Zhang Yue responded with a smile and personally sent the person out. However, as soon as he got out of the archway of Zhongyi Fang, he saw a group of people rushing over, led by the mother-in-law of the Hu family, and the father and son of the Hu family were carried on the spring bench behind. Seeing this farce-like scene, he was slightly stunned and laughed.

As soon as Hu Dahai saw Liu Zhong, he shouted, "Auntie...... Auntie, you have to be the master for me, he actually beat me with ninety rods! ”

Hu Lizheng didn't dare to shout casually like his son, after all, he was not a genuine brother-in-law, so he raised his elbow slightly, and said with a crying voice: "Please be handsome to call the shots, it's just a sesame crime, this county master is actually eighty rods in a dozen strokes, and Xiaodi is really wronged." ”

Hearing this at this moment, Liu Zhong's face turned blue. He walked forward quickly, lifted the quilt covering the Hu family's father and son, glanced at it casually and turned around and left, but turned over and got on the horse regardless of it. Seeing that all his relatives and entourage also got on the horse, he arched his hand at Zhang Yue and said, "Little Zhang Yue, I have written it down for your subordinates." If the father and son cause you any trouble in the future, you will beat me to death, don't care about me! ”

After saying this, he swung his horsewhip heavily, and the tip of the whip suddenly made a sharp sound: "Everything without eyes and skin, get back to me!" You don't want to think about it, if people really want to rectify you, these eighty or ninety rods are beaten down, and you still have your life? ”

Du Zhen sighed with emotion: "It's the brocade clothes and guards now...... You have a look at this. ”

After taking the papers handed over by Du Zhen, Zhang Yue read them and immediately understood that this was the so-called Jinyiwei's intelligence.

"Nowadays, Jinyiwei's intelligence is widely spread all over the world, and there are two main types. The first is trivial information, which is summarized daily and recommended by each small flag to report more valuable, which is called recommendation votes. The second is major information, which is reported once to five times a month, which is a monthly pass. Du Zhen paused, and said, "The emperor has a great responsibility for me, and he specially allows the Shandong Health Office to directly send me all the recommended tickets for monthly passes." ”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "This is very good, Mr. is more sure of eradicating the White Lotus Sect." ”
