"The Ministry of Punishment has sent a letter saying that they suspect you of killing a head catcher named Zong Feixiao."
It was raining heavily. From the open window of Guangyang County Prince's Mansion, you could see that the trees in the courtyard outside had turned into a dark green color in the heavy rain. Tong Guan said this in an understatement in his room.
"I heard." Ning Yi replied from the opposite side, "It has nothing to do with me at this time."
"I think it has nothing to do with you." Tong Guandao, "I said earlier that this person had an old relationship with you and almost caused an accident to your wife, but later your wife was safe and sound. Even if you had resentment in your heart and wanted to take revenge, you chose this time to
This king is really going to be disappointed in you. The people in the Ministry of Punishment are not sure about this, but it is just a shock to the tiger, so you don’t have to worry too much."
After Tong Guan finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the table: "The King of Japan called you here today because he has another important matter to discuss with you."
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
"Wurui Camp." Tong Guan said, "It's time to make a move."
"This is military affairs..." Ning Yi said.
"I know that this is military affairs, so you don't need to be sloppy with me. During the battle at Xiacun, you were in the Wurui camp. I know that you were responsible for the logistical planning of the army. You have some authority.
"
Ning Yi's expression did not change: "But Your Majesty, this is military affairs after all."
"You know how to measure yourself." Tong Guan smiled, and this time he was a little approving, "However, since I asked you to come here, I have already considered it before. It would be better if you step out a little bit about this matter.
, you don’t have to avoid suspicion too much.”
"Yes." Ning Yi nodded, and there was no emotion or anger in his words, "I don't know what the prince wants to do."
"Don't worry, we are just starting from a small place." Tong Guandao. "To be honest, it is rare for Wurui Camp to be able to fight. In the past six months, both Your Majesty and I, as well as all the princes in the court, have
Don't want to mess with it. You see, the other armies outside the capital at this time have all gone to the Yellow River to encircle their territory. Only Wurui Camp is still here for training and repair. What I want is from Wurui Camp.
I don’t want to dismantle him casually and make him become the same thing as other armies."
The tall and majestic Wang with a different surname paused at the desk: "You also know that during the recent period, I am not only concerned about Wurui Camp, but also very strict with Li Bingwen, and some of the other armies.
I won't allow him to bring in his habit. It's like eating empty wages, creating circles, and forming cliques. I have warned him that it is not easy for him to do it. He is cautious and cautious, and he has not let me down. But since this time,
, his prestige in the army may not be enough. In the past few days, several generals in the army have been acting strangely, which made him feel a little angry. However, there are also many problems in the army. He Zhicheng accepted bribes in private, and had conflicts with others in Beijing.
People were fighting for their popularity, and they were fighting privately. The person he was fighting with was the son of an idle prince. Now, the matter has been brought against me."
"What the prince means is..."
"Things in the army are handled by the army. He Zhicheng is a rare general, but he also has problems. Li Bingwen wants to deal with him and beat him with a military stick in public. I am not afraid of their backlash, but you are familiar with them. Lord Tan suggested
, during the recent period, if there are major changes to be made to Wurui Camp, you can go and follow me. I will also send someone to you. You have seen how heavy the mansion is. He has followed me for many years, doing things.
He is very capable, and you can let him do some things that are inconvenient for you to do."
There was a slight smile on Tong Guan's face. As he spoke, he looked at Ning Yi's expression. But Ning Yi's face did not show any hesitation, and he agreed: "Yes."
"Shangcheng will tell you the specific arrangements."
Ning Yi answered yes again, and then seeing that Tong Guan had nothing else to do, he said goodbye and left. But before leaving the house, Tong Guan spoke from behind again: "Li Heng."
"Yes." Ning Yi turned around.
Tong Guan sat behind the desk and glanced at him: "In the palace, unlike the Prime Minister's Palace, I am a military general, and most of the people under my command are from the army, so they are very pragmatic. I cannot come to the Prime Minister's Palace because of you. I will give you a high position. If you do something good, everyone will give you the corresponding status and respect. You are a person who can do things. I believe in you and think highly of you. This is the good thing about the army. As long as you Once you have done what you have to do, other things will not matter."
As he spoke, he threw the official document from the Ministry of Justice into the trash can nearby.
Ning Yi looked at the action and nodded. Tong Guan smiled: "Go ahead."
After Ning Yi left, Tong Guan stopped smiling, sat on the chair, and shook his head slightly.
Although I used to attach great importance to the things left behind by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I also valued the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion, after I truly entered my own house, I still had to do it step by step. This small businessman has done many things before. That's because there are resources from the Right Prime Minister's Office behind him, and what he represents is Qin Siyuan's will. Just like his subordinates, there are many staff, and if they are given power, they can do great things. But no matter who they are, the team still has to Otherwise, how will I explain it to others?
Since the other party has come over, he should also be mentally prepared. When he enters his circle, he must first be suppressed and lose his arrogance. If someone cannot experience this, he will not be of much use. Tan Zhen has been targeting him. I thought too highly of him. But now it seems that this young man is quite sensible. If he polishes his skills for a few years, he might consider using him.
This is also a necessary process for everyone. If this person is not like this, it is basically challenging his authority and patience. But after sitting in this position for so many years, seeing these people end up like this, he is somewhat disappointed, and some When people are far apart, they seem to have done a lot of things, but when they are close, they are actually the same. People who come out of the Qin Mansion are no different from others after all.
The rain was still falling, and Ning Yi walked through the slightly dim corridor. When several aides from the palace came over, he gave way slightly, but the other party didn't pay much attention to him.
In the palace, his position is not considered high - in fact, he is basically not accommodated. Today's matter is said to be asking him to do things, but the actual meaning is quite simple.
Li Bingwen wants to deal with He Zhicheng. Letting himself show up in the past is, in a sense, equivalent to a person becoming a traitor, and then the imperial army asks him to talk to the villagers. It is both self-destruction and separation. This may be Because Tong Guan believed that he had some connections and positions in the Wurui Camp, and it was impossible for him to tolerate his influence in the Wurui Camp. This was also common sense. As for the leader of the royal guards, Shen Qiang, he arranged to come and monitor him.
Compared to what Qin Siyuan and others experienced before their death, this is nothing.
Not long after, he went over to see Na Shen, who was quite arrogant and said a few words of admonishment to him. Since Li Bingwen would attack He Zhicheng tomorrow, the two of them did not have to get along with each other all the time. After leaving the palace, Ning Yi asked someone to I prepared some gifts. In the evening, I had some connections and braved the rain, so I made a special trip to send them to Zhong Zhong. He knew the situation at home and had a wife, children and concubines, so he made a special trip to send some powder, perfume and other items. Nowadays, they are all high-end goods, and Ning Yituo's relationship is also a very important warrior. After a heavy push, he finally accepted it.
When they met again the next day, Zhong Sheng's face towards Ning Yi was still cold. He gave a few warnings, but there was no intention of making things difficult inside. They came to Wurui Camp this morning, and the matter about He Zhicheng had just started. There was no one in Wurui Camp. At that time, there were five generals in charge of the army, namely Liu Chengzong, Pang Liuan, Li Yi, Sun Ye, and He Zhicheng. Although these five people originally came from different teams, after the Battle of Xiacun, Wurui Camp was not immediately split up, and the relationship between them remained the same. Very good. When they saw Ning Yi coming over, they all wanted to talk. But after seeing the heavy attire of a royal guard, they all hesitated.
He chatted with several people one by one, not daring to say anything sensitive. Li Bingwen's personal guards then walked through the military camp and took He Zhicheng. Li Bingwen gathered the army to decide the case in public and wanted to beat him with a military stick. Sun Ye and others protested. However, Li Bingwen had made up his mind. Many people in the army secretly looked at Ning Yi, but Ning Yi stood aside without saying a word.
If in normal times, Li Bingwen had to deal with He Zhicheng, he might really cause trouble. However, Ning Yi stood beside him. No one in the Wurui camp dared to have an attack. Many people were just confused in their eyes. When He Zhicheng was beaten with a military stick in public, after the military formation, Someone in the middle started to whisper, and the look at Ning Yi also changed a little.
Li Bingwen previously knew that Ning Yi had a certain presence in the camp, but to what extent he was not sure - if it was really clear, he might kill Ning Yi immediately - and when He Zhicheng was beaten, the military formation Whispers rang out among them, and he turned his back on Ning Yi, who was standing next to him. He felt a little proud in his heart. Of course he didn't like Ning Yi, but at this time he understood that he wanted Ning Yi to stand aside and talk to him on the right. Xiang Qin Siyuan's feeling of having someone throw excrement at him is actually similar.
He was proud of his heart, and his face was naturally solemn on the surface. When the baton was about to be beaten, he shouted on the stage: "Everyone is quiet! What are you talking about!"
The military formation became slightly quiet.
He Zhicheng received the military stick in public, and his back and buttocks were covered with blood. After the military formation was disbanded, Li Bingwen smiled and said a few words to Ning Yi - he didn't dare to do anything more, not far away The cavalry team in Luliang Mountain was looking at him, just small and medium-sized generals or leaders like Han Jing. The big boss named Lu Hongti looked at him coldly and made him shudder. But after all, the other party He didn't come over to say anything.
After leaving the gate of Wurui Camp and looking back at the military camp, some soldiers were still looking over here. Many of them must have been discussing or cursing in private. Turning around, Shen Sheng's expression towards him was much better, and he was slightly calmer. He smiled. Today's task was completed well. He also admired Ning Yi's approach. Giving and receiving gifts is one thing. The most important thing is that Ning Yi not only gave gifts, but he also didn't do anything in the military camp today. If you say random words to other people, you are a sensible person. If you still want to keep some good relations in the military camp now, it is a way to die.
The group of people returned to Bianliang City. When the military camp was out of sight, Ning Yi asked Zhu Biao who was accompanying him to bring a box: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. I asked about it in the palace. Brother Shen is very skilled in martial arts and is the king of the palace." One of the best masters, brother recently found a precious sword and would like to ask Brother Shen to taste it."
Warriors are all interested in weapons, so Na Shen Chong took out the long sword to play with it and praised it a little. When the two separated at the city gate, the sword was already lying quietly on Shen Chong's carriage.
It rained heavily yesterday, but the sun is shining brightly today. Ning Yi raised his head on horseback and narrowed his eyes slightly. People from behind came closer. He Zhen was the leader of the guards of the palace. He looked down upon Ning Yi's guards. Naturally, he was also a bit bossy, and everyone didn't show any emotions. They only spat calmly after he left.
Regarding He Zhicheng's matter, Ning Yi knew it clearly last night. The other party had collected some money privately, and the fight with a prince's guard was due to a discussion about Qin Shaoqian's issue and a quarrel... But of course, these Things can't be said either.
Now that Tong Guan has started to take action against Wurui Camp, let's go from the shallower to the deeper. Next, there will be many things like this that are criticized on stage. Just understand that it is the same thing. What really happened may not make you feel melancholy. Ning Yi There was no expression on his face. When we were about to enter the city, a Bamboo Guard was rushing out of the city. When he saw Ning Yi and others, he rode over and whispered something in Ning Yi's ear.
There was no confusion in Ning Yi's eyes, and he nodded slightly.
It was just ordinary news that a batch of goods had arrived. Even if others heard it, there would be no disturbance. He is a businessman after all.
The horse team followed the bustling crowds entering the city and passed towards the city gate, with the sun pouring down. Not far away, another figure sitting by the city gate came over. It was a scholar in a blue shirt in his thirties. Thin and lonely, looking a little shabby, Ning Yi got off his horse and walked towards the other party.
"Brother Cheng, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
The person who came was Cheng Zhouhai, and he also bowed his hand at this time.
"I heard someone said that you went to Wurui Camp. I wanted to go look for you. I was tired when I walked to the city gate, so I took a rest first."
"It's almost noon, go get something to eat?"
"That's fine."
Cheng Zhouhai readily agreed, and the two of them went into the city and sat down in a nice restaurant nearby. Cheng Zhouhai survived from Taiyuan. After returning, he encountered Qin Siyuan's case. He was injured all over, but luckily he was not raped. No, but after Qin Siyuan was demoted to death, he was a little disheartened and faded out of the previous circle. Ning Yi was not very close to him. After Qin Siyuan's funeral, Wenren Buer left in despair. In the capital, Ning Yi and Cheng Zhouhai had never seen each other again, and they didn't expect that he would come to see her deliberately today.
After ordering the dishes, Ning Yi poured him a cup of tea: "Brother Cheng, do you have anything to do with me?"
"There is something I want to ask Li Heng."
"Brother Cheng, please tell me."
Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand, and then Cheng Zhouhai also raised his head from the opposite side.
"I want to ask, Li Heng, what exactly do you want to do?"
After returning from Taiyuan, his mood was either sad, angry or depressed, but what was reflected in his eyes at this time was clear and sharp. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he used radical tactics. He was said to be a counselor, closer to a poisonous person. This For a moment, it finally looked like it did back then.
Ning Yi folded his hands, his smile did not change, he only narrowed his eyes slightly... (To be continued)
