His first reaction was that the Sixth Prince knew that he wanted to file a complaint, so he came to kill him late at night and silenced him.
After all, officials protect each other, and they are very likely to collude with the prefects and county guards.
The opponents include Lord Chai Yuan and Princess Nian'an, both of whom are third-grade experts. He is no match for them anyway.
However, the Sixth Prince was surprised and said,
"What's your reaction? We don't have any ill intentions, we're just here to help you."
"help me?"
Zhao Long was confused.
"Yes, I heard that Commander Zhao has a reputation for being virtuous, upright, and full of talents, but he is bullied by the county guard Pang De. You are even more shameless about the corruption and bribery of the county guard and the prefect. You want to punish him, but you have no way.
.
If not, I will come here personally to help you."
Wang Fugui put his hands behind his back and looked around the room. He found that there was only his own chair in Zhao Long's study, and he couldn't sit down even if he wanted to.
It's a pity.
Zhao Long looked at Wang Fugui and then at Chai Yuan, wondering whether this matter was true or false.
He didn't know the character of the sixth prince, but Chai Yuan had always had a reputation for being virtuous and upright, and a Confucian and Taoist man would definitely not collude with the prefect.
Moreover, in the fiefdom of Princess Nian'an here, the prefect's corruption has directly damaged the interests of the princess, and the princess will not let him go.
It should be true.
At that moment, Zhao Long felt a little annoyed, regretting that he had not figured out these things earlier, and that he had taken a gamble before.
After thinking about it, Zhao Long immediately knelt down, held his hands and said,
"I would like to thank His Highness Sixth Prince and Mr. Chai on behalf of the people of Wuwei County. Liu Xin and Pang De worked together to harm the people. The people of Wuwei County have already suffered terribly. It's a pity that I am so soft-spoken. Even if I want to file a complaint, there is no way. Fortunately, this time
You are here, please make decisions for the people."
Wang Fugui immediately helped Zhao Long up and said with a smile,
"Commander Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Get up quickly. This is our duty. It's because we didn't do it well that the people and righteous people like you have been wronged.
There is something that I still need your help with, Commander Zhao, but it seems that you have already done it."
Zhao Long immediately said,
"As long as His Highness the Sixth Prince can redress the grievances of the people, I, Zhao Longwan, will fight to the death without fear of any hardships or dangers.
The help you are talking about should be the complaint I wrote, right? Do you want me to stand up as a witness? "
Wang Fugui secretly said something clever, and then said,
"I will not give up even if I die. I will not let anyone who follows me die. Now I have the evidence in my hand that they have embezzled, accepted bribes and withheld taxes. What I am missing is a testimony and a witness."
"Do you have evidence?"
Zhao Long was greatly refreshed upon hearing this.
"Yes, they forged the account books in order to get away with it, but they didn't know that I had already obtained the real account books before I even got here.
You sign this testimony with your name and give it to me. Tomorrow I will go get their forged account books. As long as I compare them, it will be an ironclad proof. What's more, the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing also has the taxes they pay every year. They change
Can't get over there.
Then tomorrow, just capture them, tie them up, ransack their homes, search out all the money and food, and then send them, the money and food, the real account books and your testimony to the capital."
After listening to Wang Fugui's words, Zhao Long held his hands and said,
"Your Highness, I am willing to take on this mission, escort them to Beijing, and go to the Ministry of Punishment to testify."
"Oh, you don't need to go to the capital. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth. If you don't go to the capital, all you need is a testimony. We also have people in the court. It is easy to appoint a county governor and a prefect. There will be no one
Dare to offend us because of them."
After hearing what the other party said, Zhao Long couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had been unable to file a complaint. He had endured it silently for many years and tried every means, but he couldn't even say a word to the sixth prince.
This is the difference.
Immediately, he remembered one of Wang Fugui's words and asked immediately,
"If I don't go to the capital, don't I have to testify? Will I continue to stay in Wuwei County?"
Zhao Long's eyes were a little eager. He felt that this was an opportunity. If he could grasp the sixth prince's straw, maybe he could get out of here and be transferred to a place where he could actually fight.
"If you don't stay here, you are a military commander. If you stay in the mainland, when will you be able to gain military merit? All your talents and learning will be buried. I don't want to see a person with real ability.
If you want, you can come with me."
Wang Fugui's words made Zhao Long's eyes light up immediately, and he asked quickly,
"Where do I go?"
Hearing this, Wang Fugui smiled leisurely and said,
"You should know where we are going this time and who we are going to see, right?"
"I know you are going to Yumen Pass to make Han Yun a marquis, right?"
Having said this, Zhao Long's eyes suddenly shone with excitement and he said,
"Are you asking me to go to Yumen Pass? That's great. There are wars with demons and Buddhists all year round. It's a good place to make achievements. Once there, I can kill enemies and defend the country, and I can also realize my ambitions. Thank you Liu
Your Highness.
As long as I can reach Yumen Pass, I am willing even if I just start as a pawn. I can master my skills and gain the appreciation of the commander-in-chief.
if only……"
At this point, Zhao Long realized that he had made a mistake and quickly shut up.
Wang Fugui smiled and said,
"You want to say that as long as the commander over there is not like Pound, it will be fine, right?"
Zhao Long smiled and nodded awkwardly. He couldn't say this. After all, the commander of Yumen Pass was appointed by the imperial court. If he said it, he would be questioning the majesty of the imperial court.
"Don't worry, you don't have to follow Nie Ze. I heard that you are full of talents and are familiar with military books. You should be a general or a handsome man.
But what kind of position you can get is not up to me. You don’t have to tell me about leading troops in war, I don’t understand.
But that person understands that if you can gain his appreciation and approval, it will show your ability.
As for what position you can get, it also depends on your own ability. The most I can do is help you introduce him so that you can meet him."
Zhao Long frowned when he heard this. He was familiar with military books. Naturally, he couldn't memorize them by rote. He had to understand them based on the actual situation. He knew the border generals and army attributes of the dynasty very well. The commander of Yumen Pass was Nie Ze. If you don't follow Nie Ze,
who?
Wait a minute, the Sixth Prince is here to confer a title on Han Yun. Pound drank too much last time and seemed to have said that the Sixth Prince has a very good relationship with Han Yun. Is it possible that he wants me to follow Han Yun, the Marquis in Zhenbei?
?
Thinking of this, Zhao Long's heart became hot.
Yumen Pass is not far from Wuwei County, only more than a thousand miles. At this time, the news of the last battle had already spread, and Zhao Long naturally also learned about Han Yun's terrifying record!
