"My cousin's subordinates had a grudge against the Central Guard Army and took the initiative to ask for help..."
Zhou Rong, who didn't care much at first, suddenly looked sharply at Zhou Chengwen.
The cousin mentioned by Zhou Chengwen is Zhou Shou, the former general of Zhong Lingjun. Who are Zhou Shou’s subordinates? They are the people of Zhong Lingjun!
If Pang Wei were to find out, the person who intercepted and killed the people guarding the army was from the leading army...
Zhou Rong suddenly stood up and strode away.
But he was still a step late. Jun Ci still had the opportunity. The corpses of the people who intercepted and killed the guards were already in Jingzhao County. Han Feng didn't know them, and Pang Wei had never seen these unknown soldiers, but they had weapons on them.
The badge of leadership.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling like they had been dealt another hot potato.
Before the two of them could say how to put the important responsibility into each other's hands, Zhou Rong was announced from outside.
Zhou Rong stepped inside and said to the two people who were saluting: "I heard that people repatriated by the Fourth Army were intercepted and killed. It concerns the face of the imperial court, the majesty of the Chinese army, and the morale of the soldiers, so I came here to take a look. Can you find out anything about it?
"
Withstanding Zhou Rong's pressure, Pang Wei bravely handed over the waistband he found: "Report to the Prime Minister, those who intercepted and killed the other three armies were all repelled, so there is no way to verify it. Only the one who intercepted and killed the guarding army, because
I happened to meet a righteous person and worked together to kill him. This was found from the murderer."
Zhou Rong's face turned cold when he looked at the waistband. He took it and carefully identified it: "This waistband is fake."
This is referring to a deer as a horse. Is it true? As the leader of the Central Army, can Pang Wei not be able to tell the difference?
But the situation was stronger than the person, so Zhou Rong opened his mouth and said that it was a lie, but it could only be a lie if it was true.
Han Feng said: "The Prime Minister has a keen eye. Even the subordinates felt that it cannot be true. All the stalwart men in the army can do such a thing. Someone must be hindering it."
Zhou Rong was very satisfied with Han Feng's agreement, and his eyes fell on Pang Wei: "Why did the Central Guards kill the murderer? Can the so-called righteous man find out?"
This is obviously to throw dirty water on Jun Ci.
"Reporting back to the Prime Minister, according to the oral accounts of those repatriated by the Central Guards, they are a group of rangers who have a home all over the world. They have left, so it is difficult to verify." Pang Wei replied.
Zhou Rong laughed inexplicably: "Are these repatriated people on the same road? How come the people in the guard army can happen to meet the righteous rangers?
Pang Wei's heart tightened and he hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister doesn't know something. Half of the people in the Central Guards have not gone far and have not been intercepted. Those who were intercepted walked together."
This was Jun Ci's decision after careful consideration, which was to kill all the people in ambush in advance, and then send people to pretend to intercept and kill the central guards, and let others help them to chase and kill the interceptors.
As long as no one was killed in front of the Central Guards, the person would be killed half an hour in advance, and no flaw would be revealed in their panic.
It is impossible for Jun Ci to stage such a drama of killing and chasing in front of other people repatriated from the Chinese army. Firstly, there are not enough people, and secondly, he does not understand the people in other armies. If he does too much, it will be easy to leave traces. Thirdly,
, Zhou Rong would not order his men to send too many people to intercept and kill the Central Guards, and there would not be enough corpses thrown in front of other soldiers.
Zhou Rong didn't expect this, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether someone leaked the secret and prevented his plan from happening in advance, or whether it was a real accident.
"The people in the Central Guard Army are lucky." Zhou Rong chuckled, "Since you asked for a thorough investigation into this matter, I will wait for your results."
After saying that, Zhou Rong left with those belt cards.
It wasn't until Zhou Rong completely disappeared that Han Feng closed his eyes and sighed heavily: "Captain Pang, I don't know how to proceed, so I can only focus on the captain at this time."
On one side is the Central Guard Army, Jun Ci is a ruthless character, which makes the Prime Minister hate her so much that he can't do anything to her now.
On one side is the Zhong Ling Army, the Prime Minister's personal soldiers. With the Prime Minister here, even if he confuses right and wrong, Zhong Ling Army cannot be stigmatized.
It's not that Han Feng couldn't understand what was right and wrong, but there were some things that he could only pretend to be confused about.
"What Han Feng did was unjust." Even though Pang Wei had already had some concerns in his heart, he still condemned Han Feng on his face.
Han Feng had no choice but to smile and promise other benefits.
Pang Wei was overjoyed and had made more money, but he still had to show his embarrassment and distress. In the end, Han Feng reluctantly accepted the offer at the expense of both favors and wine.
Although everything went according to plan, Pang Wei still worked diligently, put on a complete show, and went out early and came back late every day. Finally, it took two days to find out what happened.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened." Pang Wei said plausibly, "After a thorough investigation, we found that the army has been frequently suppressing bandits recently, which has caused these fish who have slipped through the net to feel resentful. Since they have no livelihood, they have a death wish and want to join the army.
The repatriated sons and daughters will perish together."
At the same time, he handed over a memorial compiled by him, which slightly polished the clues provided by Jun Ci.
Yuan You saw that Jun Ci handed over a memorial about the money of Ma bandit village. The first one was impressively comparable to it, but looking at it later, it was completely different.
Being as smart as him, he immediately understood that this was Jun Ci's instruction to remind him that there was no need to defend her in this matter.
After reading the memorial, Yuan You angrily closed the memorial: "Why did the army suppress the bandits? Such a huge amount of money was not handed over?"
Zhou Rong, who was on the side, raised his eyebrows: "The central leader trains hard day and night and has no time to spare."
"Zhongzhen Army, I have conducted a detailed investigation and there is absolutely no such thing." Pang Wei immediately clarified.
"Pass the message to Ge Jian of the Central Guards, and the resignation of the Central Guards." Yuan You immediately ordered.
Jun Ci and Ge Jian almost entered the palace together. Yuan You asked, and Ge Jian immediately swore that he was definitely not a central guard.
Jun Ci hesitated for a moment and then said: "It shouldn't be the Central Guards Army, right?"
"As the commander-in-chief of an army, Lieutenant Jun, the people in the army have an uncertain tone about what they will do." Ge Jian said coldly.
Jun Ci shrugged: "There are Xiu Mu in the army. I am the commander and have no right to interfere with what they do during this time. However, I have recently heard that the people in the army do have a little more money, but they have not yet done so.
Keep it in mind."
"What Lieutenant Jun said is that the officers and soldiers of the army went behind your back to suppress bandits and gain wealth. Everything was done in private!" Ge Jian immediately launched an attack.
Jun Ci frowned and ignored him, but turned around and bowed to Yuan You and said: "Your Majesty, these civil and military officials are free when they take a rest. When they take a rest, they see bandits rampant.
Acting righteously, does this not violate military regulations? As for the money collected, the court has no regulations, and the money from privately suppressing bandits must be turned over."
It is true that the imperial court did not stipulate that military officers and generals should not go out to suppress bandits when they were sleeping, nor did it stipulate that the wealth gained by individuals from suppressing bandits should be turned over.
Unless a lieutenant in the army delayed the military situation or left his post without permission, and was not sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits, it was obtained privately and naturally did not need to be turned over.
For a moment, no one could figure out Jun Ci. Ge Jian held his breath for a while and said, "With such a huge fortune, Captain Jun is conniving at his subordinates. Do you have other plans?"
"Is it related to the amount of money or not?" Jun Ci asked back, "As Captain Ge said, a wealthy family must have an agenda?"
"you--"
"Okay." Yuan You impatiently interrupted Ge Jian, "The guard army was not at fault in this matter, but the money was so huge that it was not allowed to be taken privately, for fear that the army would be impetuous. Jun Qing gathered the money and handed over 90% of it, and the rest of the three armies were
I was frightened by this incident, and the money was divided into three parts and put into the three armies. Do you have any objections?"
After receiving money for nothing, Pang Wei was the first to agree: "I have no objections. Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."
Zhou Rong looked at Jun Ci, then at Yuan You, and said, "I have no objection, my minister."
Ge Jian naturally did not dare to object.
Jun Ci had no objections, and the matter was settled like this.
