Wang Guoxing suddenly coughed a few times, and said to Lin Yuanrong: "Lin Baihu, it may not be feasible to deceive the soldiers like this." As long as they delay a little time tomorrow to leave, they will be able to hear the result of the verdict, and there may not be chaos at that time. ”

Lin Yuanrong looked at him and said, "There will be no trial tomorrow, as long as Lord Wang can temporarily pacify his subordinates, let them calm down for a few days." When they get the repayment, I don't think they will be as united as they are now. ”

Wang Guoxing said goodbye to Lin Yuanrong suspiciously and left, as soon as Wang Guoxing left, a brocade guard suddenly stepped forward and respectfully asked Lin Yuanrong: "Lord Baihu, what should we do now?" ”

Lin Yuanrong looked at the back of Wang Guoxing leaving, and thought for a long time before saying sarcastically: "If the procuratorate wants to pass the court, in addition to the defendant, at least the plaintiff must be present.

The people who summoned us in Xi'an will go and arrest Qian Zhijun's family tonight. Send someone to inform Pang Gonggong and ask him to rush back to Xi'an as soon as possible to deal with the matter.

In addition, find a few clever street idlers, let them keep an eye on the barracks for me, and report any unusual movements immediately. ”

The brocade-clothed guard behind him hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Lord Baihu, except for rebellion and cults, we don't have the right to arrest civilians without orders from above." If we take such a risk, will we become scapegoats if we don't get a good outcome afterwards? ”

Lin Yuanrong's hand clenched tightly, but soon relaxed. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them and said, "If something happens, I'll take it alone." In the name of the Buddha of the Maitreya Sect, Qian Wenjun's family was arrested. ”

The brocade guard behind him didn't dare to persuade anymore, lowered his head, gave up his hand and agreed, and turned around to handle the things he had explained.

After Wang Guoxing returned to the barracks, he announced to the soldiers gathered in the barracks what Lin Yuanrong asked him to tell, which made the originally nervous soldiers finally become calmer.

Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying, the leaders of several soldiers, did not believe what Wang Guoxing said. Based on their past life experience, it is impossible for those high-ranking officials and nobles to be so simple and intimidated by them.

Gao Yingxiang even thought that the transfer of some soldiers out of the city to meet the grain ships was simply Wang Guoxing's desire to weaken their power. If there are many people who have been transferred, perhaps the soldiers who remain in the city will be attacked; There are few people who are transferred, and maybe the soldiers who leave the city will be ambushed.

But only a few people are willing to support his idea. More soldiers thought that this was just Gao Yingxiang scaring himself. They thought that it was impossible for Wang Guoxing to come up with such a plan and make trouble for himself.

After all, using this method to deceive his subordinates, this general soldier Wang will probably have to be careful in the future, and will be attacked by his own soldiers on the battlefield.

What's more, only when the situation calms down, Wang Guoxing will not bear much responsibility. But it really inspired the mutiny, and he must have been the first person in the court to punish the crime. What's more, this time they went out of the city to receive their own food, so they naturally didn't want any accidents on the grain ship.

Therefore, most of the soldiers were optimistic about Wang Guoxing's promise, and began to be wary of whether Gao Yingxiang and others would deliberately provoke an incident, resulting in everyone having to follow them to rebel.

The rapid change in the attitude of the soldiers made Gao Yingxiang a little stunned. He had to make a promise to the soldiers that he would go outside the city to meet the grain ships according to the instructions of the commander-in-chief.

For the sake of safety, Gao Yingxiang selected his cronies and Lao Huihui and others into the team that received the grain ship.

Early the next morning, Gao Yingxiang ordered his familiar subordinate Zhang Er to go to the procuratorate to listen and interrogate the results of Qian Wenjun's case. And he and Ma Shouying were the two of them, and they slowly gathered the soldiers who went out of the city.

Even if Wang Guoxing personally sat in the barracks to urge, the troops who went out of the city to meet the grain ships did not climb out of the barracks until three poles in the morning.

Every time Gao Yingxiang walked less than 30 steps, he stopped to reorganize the formation, during which he always observed the road in the direction of the procuratorate, expecting to see Zhang Er's figure.

On the road less than two miles from the barracks to the city gate, the army moved for nearly an hour. When it was almost noon, they finally reached the city gate.

Gao Yingxiang frequently looked at the road behind him, and finally saw Zhang Er running in the crowd. He quickly dismounted, and then walked back to meet Zhang Er,

"Well, how did the procuratorate handle this case?" Gao Yingxiang reached out and grabbed Zhang Er's shoulder, pulling the man who was running with his head down in front of him.

Zhang Er, who was sweating profusely when he ran away, looked up and saw that it was Gao Yingxiang who stopped him, and then replied to him breathlessly: "No, no trial, Qian Wenjun was taken away by Jinyi Wei last night because he was related to the Maitreya Sect."

Jin Yiwei also ran to the procuratorate today, wanting to take Wu Rong and the others away, saying that he asked them to assist in handling the case. However, Lord Xing said that Jin Yiwei took people without will and evidence, and he interfered in local political affairs without authorization, and he would definitely go to the court.

Then Lord Xing quarreled with the hundred households led by Jinyiwei, and Lord Xing asked the other party to release Qian Wenjun's family; The brocade-clothed hundred households asked to take Wu Rong and others for questioning.

The two quarreled for nearly half an hour, and finally broke up. It seems that Qian Wenjun's case will not be tried in a short period of time. ”

After Gao Yingxiang listened, he was silent for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are observing in the city, if there is any change, you will go out of the city to inform me and wait." If nothing else, we'll be back in 2 or 3 days. ”

After Lin Yuanrong had a big quarrel in the procuratorate, he saw that this Lord Xing had no ability to adapt, but just said that he wanted to participate in himself, and his heart was settled.

In this way, as long as Gonggong Pang receives the news and returns to Xi'an as soon as possible, then this tricky matter has nothing to do with him. As for the capital, he also sent a secret letter and made a record to the governor of Jinyi. Therefore, he did not think that his emergency measures would be reprimanded by the emperor.

When Pang Tianshou received the news from Lin Yuanrong, he was inspecting and checking the salary and debts of the border army in Yansui Town. Compared with Guyuan Town, the economic situation of Yansui Town, located in Yulinwei, is better.

Although Yan'an Prefecture continued to suffer from severe drought, Yansui Town, which directly faced the Ordos Department of Mongolia, because of the border trade, the soldiers could still maintain it, and there was no large-scale loan sharking.

The Ordos Ministry was a special presence guarding Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, and according to the customs of the Mongol tribes, they had the right to collect a certain tax from other Mongol tribes as the cost of repairing and caring for Genghis Khan's Mausoleum.

Therefore, although the land occupied by the Ordos tribe was not as rich as most of the Hetao Plain occupied by the Tumut tribe, the unique position of the Ordos tribe made it less likely to be attacked by the Mongol tribes. Therefore, the wealth of the tribe is second only to the existence of the Tumut tribe.

Moreover, the trona produced by the alkali lake in the Ordos Department has also brought a lot of wealth to the tribe.

Beginning in the spring, the newly appointed governor of Yansui proposed to the Ordos Ministry for border peace and the joint development of the Alkali Lake and the Hetao Plain.

Jinong of the Ordos Department was very interested in the perennial trade plan proposed by the governor of Yansui and the plan for opening up the grassland trade route. But he offered to have the Ming Emperor send a representative to sign a formal agreement.

Although the emperor's representatives had not yet arrived, some small tribes close to Yulinwei couldn't help but run outside the walls of Yulinwei to try to carry out some small trading activities.

The governor of Yansui immediately showed goodwill to these small tribes, and he not only acquiesced in the gathering of these small tribes outside the wall, but also asked Chen Hongfan, the general of Yulinwei, to restrain his army, and agreed with these small tribes on trading times and settlement of some disputes in the event of disputes.

At the same time, some of the victims were organized by merchants, who not only set up a market outside the wall, but also some of the victims were taken directly to the alkali lake and began to collect alkali blocks on a large scale.

When Pang Tianshou arrived here, according to Chongzhen's instructions, he intervened in the alkali lake for the Sihai Commercial Bank, and made a lot of efforts.

As a result, he hadn't asked Chongzhen for credit for himself, but the news that there might be a mutiny in Xi'an came, which immediately made him a little panicked.

He immediately summoned Chen Hongfan and wanted to bring an army back to Xi'an so that he could suppress the rebels.

After hearing the news from Xi'an, Chen Hongfan did not immediately respond to Pang Tianshou, but offered to talk to him privately.

Pang Tianshou has been in a good relationship with Chen Hongfan these days, so he obeyed his request and waved everyone else out of the room.

After seeing that only Pang Tianshou and himself were left in the room, Chen Hongfan immediately whispered to Pang Tianshou: "Father-in-law Pang, there are some things that the officials don't know whether to say or not. ”

Pang Tianshou was quite disapproving, waved his hand and said: "The miscellaneous family is familiar with you at first sight, and you can say whatever you have, so you don't have to hide it like this." ”

Chen Hongfan fixed his mind and said: "The news that Xi'an is going to mutiny is already 12 days ago. Have you ever thought about what will become of Xi'an when you rush back to Xi'an?

More than 1,000 miles on the road from Yulin to Xi'an, Shaanxi is in serious drought this year, and now even the people have nothing to eat.

If the soldiers scattered and fled during the march because of the lack of food, wouldn't the father-in-law make trouble for himself? ”

Pang Tianshou was stunned when he heard this, and his face was a little cloudy and he said: "Otherwise, first borrow the grain brought by the miscellaneous family this time, and when the rebellion in Xi'an is quelled, the miscellaneous family will give you a new batch?" ”

Chen Hongfan was afraid of this, so he wanted to stop Pang Tianshou from moving. It was the first time since Emperor Wanli that the imperial court was able to think of sending food to the border army in advance.

After two consecutive years of drought, even Yulinwei, which has border trade facilitation, is a little unable to survive. The batch of food brought by Pang Tianshou's patrol has been regarded by Chen Hongfan as life-saving food for the second half of the year, how can he be willing to consume Pang Tianshou like this.

"The problem is that my father-in-law rushed back to Xi'an in such a hurry, which is really a big deal. The father-in-law was not in Shaanxi Mansion, and there was a rebellion in Xi'an, and the father-in-law was at most complained by the gentry in Xi'an.

But the father-in-law hurried back, and the rebellion was not quelled in time, and the lower officials were afraid that in the end, the responsibility for the Xi'an mutiny would fall on the father-in-law. ”
