Watching a group of officials from Weiwei Temple shouting and rushing out of the city, a soldier came close to Hou Mo and Chen Lin and whispered: "Xiaowei, our general has given you many instructions, and no one is allowed to leave the city tonight."
Go, especially the people from Weiwei Temple... What should we do now? You also know the general's temper, and I will definitely not spare you."
Hou Mo Chen Lin gritted his teeth and thought about the eight generations of Dugu Lan's ancestors being greeted once again.
What you want to do when you want to go out is none of my business, but the person guarding the far gate to the north is your nephew of the Dugu family. Why do you have to give up the easy thing and the hard thing to come to my Jinguang Gate? Your nephew is not allowed to take the blame when there is a blame.
I'm backing you and bullying others?
The family is full of boneless people, how can we agree to Dugu Lan's overbearing request?
His eyes were filled with resentment, and he turned a deaf ear to the reminders from his subordinates. Since he had let Dugu Lan out of the city, both his general and the military department would hold him accountable afterwards. There was no way he could escape. Even though he was not angry in his heart, the family master ordered
, how dare you refuse?
After exhaling, Hou Mo and Chen Lin rolled their eyes, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts. He didn't want Dugu Lan to enjoy himself.
He drove this subordinate away, beckoned his own soldiers to him, and whispered a few words.
The soldier nodded repeatedly, and after Hou Mo and Chen Lin finished giving his orders, he turned around and ran away quickly...
Hou Mo Chen Lin looked at the dark city gate, and then looked up at the brightly lit city gate tower, feeling quite emotional.
The Guanlong family, which was once united, is now in disarray...
*****
Fang Jun really didn't expect that the Changsun family could actually instruct people like Dugu Lan to go out of the city in the middle of the night to rob people, and even used rogue methods in the face of the city guards who refused to let them go...
What kind of person is Dugu Lan?
Even though she is usually a low-profile person, her status as the patriarch of the Dugu family is very tough even in front of His Majesty Li Er. It is said that Queen Yuanzhen liked her natal nephew the most and once wanted to marry Princess Pingyang to him.
, in the end, it was in order to win over the Chai family of Jinyang, who was full of fierce generals, that they chose Chai Shao.
Later, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao were at odds with each other, and finally died in depression. Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty Li Er both sighed with regret, feeling that if Princess Pingyang had been married off to Dugu Lan, Princess Pingyang would not have died early...
I am more and more fond of Dugulan.
How could such a person, even if Changsun Wuji was the leader of the Guanlong clan, be able to easily instigate him? Even if he was instigated, how could he sacrifice his face and commit rogue acts such as "butting his head on the city gate" just to get out of the city?
Obviously, Changsun Wuji promised Dugu Lantian great benefits.
Even if Dugu Lan has benefited, he will definitely lose face after this act. How can they maintain the close relationship that they always had before?
It seems that both Dugu Lan and Changsun Wuji have realized that the Guanlong Group is already on the verge of collapse. It is only a matter of time before they part ways. It is better to take advantage of the last stage of intimacy to seek as much benefits for themselves as possible.
some benefits.
The most important thing is that the person who came to the house to report the news was actually the personal soldier of the Jinguang Gate gatekeeper, Marquis Mo Chenlin...
…
Fang Jun got up from the bed, and Xiao Shuer helped him put on his clothes tenderly, and warned: "This guy who lives in darkness should bring more people with him. Now that Chang'an City has lifted the curfew, gangsters are running around in the streets, stealing and fighting.
It happens from time to time, but not everyone recognizes you as the Minister of the Ministry of War. If someone with no eyesight sets their sights on you, it will be extremely dangerous."
Fang Jun nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, this time we go out of the city to fight with the guys from Weiwei Temple, how can we do it without bringing more people?"
The lifting of the curfew not only stimulates the economy, but also leads to the erosion of public security.
From Jingzhao Prefecture to Chang'an, no one in the two counties has this kind of experience in handling nighttime security. After all, for so many years, the whole city of Chang'an was quiet and peaceful without any trouble. Now, suddenly, there are
Bulls, ghosts, and snakes all jump out after dark. The night is so dark that you can't help but come and go. It's simply the best breeding ground for crime.
This situation needs to be gradually reversed after the yamen at all levels adapt to it and increase their efforts in reasoning.
Reaching out and touching Xiao Shuer's slightly bulging belly, Fang Jun said dotingly: "The night is getting colder and you are pregnant. Go back to bed and lie down quickly. Don't catch the cold."
Xiao Shu'er twitched her temples and spread her hair, and said coquettishly: "How can you be so delicate?"
Fang Jun laughed, put his arm around her shoulders, kissed her gently on her smooth forehead, and said, "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. You are here to protect her. Don't be willful."
"Um."
Xiao Shu'er felt like she had a nest of honey hidden in her heart, and she felt so sweet that she put her arms around her husband's muscular waist, and then obediently returned to the bed and lay down.
Fang Jun gently covered her with a quilt, then blew out the candles and left the bedroom.
Wei Ying was waiting at the door with his horse, and all the soldiers were ready to go. Fang Jun stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, got on his horse, and left the house first.
The soldiers behind him also mounted their horses and drove out of the mansion gate.
It was almost midnight, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse. When the few pedestrians saw this group of cavalry strutting through the city, they stopped to watch and marveled.
Since the curfew was temporarily lifted, the public security situation was somewhat chaotic. Therefore, all levels of government offices strictly prohibited horse riding in the city. Even horse-drawn carriages had to maintain their speed. Therefore, in the past, it was difficult to see the scene of dandies riding horses down the street.
The group of people was not very fast. When they reached the Jinguang Gate, soldiers had already come forward to greet them. They shouted from a distance: "The city gate is closed and no passage is allowed!"
Fang Jun came closer and reined in his horse, waved his hand, and someone behind him handed a "Guanhe" for leaving the city to the soldiers. The soldiers obviously didn't know how to read, so they ran back with the "Qianhe".
After a moment, Hou Mo Chenlin, a man in armor, ran up quickly and saluted Fang Jun on the horse: "The last general guarding the city, Hou Mo Chenlin, has met Fang Shaobao!"
Taking advantage of the lights on the top of the city, Fang Jun took a look at the man's appearance and asked, "Did Weiwei Temple just leave the city?"
Hou Mo and Chen Lin said: "Exactly."
Fang Jun asked again: "Have you ever produced the city survey and merger documents?"
Hou Mo Chen Lin shook his head and said: "No."
Fang Jun looked at the man carefully, but he didn't get angry. He asked slowly: "Since you are the captain of the city guard, you should know that no one is allowed to enter or exit without permission, so why did you let him out of the city?"
?”
Hou Mo Chen Lin was a bachelor and did not defend himself. He just knelt down on one knee to perform military salutes and said loudly: "The last general has neglected his duty and is willing to accept the punishment."
"hehe……"
Fang Jun smiled on the horse. They were all members of the Guanlong family. He first let Dugu Lan go out of the city, then turned around and reported to himself... Interesting.
"Okay, now that you realize that you have violated military regulations, you can go back to the military headquarters to accept the punishment. Open the door, I am about to leave the city for business."
"Here!"
Hou Mo and Chen Lin quickly stood up and called on the soldiers to open the city gate.
Watching Fang Jun and his troops roaring past the city gate, Hou Mo and Chen Lin frowned.
He is a military official. If he made mistakes in the past, he should be tried and sentenced by Weiwei Temple. Why did Fang Jun just let himself go to the Ministry of War to receive punishment?
When did the Ministry of War take charge of military law and order?
*****
It was the beginning of the month, and the moon was dark and there was no light.
A large group of soldiers came from the official road in the west, with nearly five hundred people in total.
In the middle of the team, Chang Sun Guang and all his subordinates took off their armor, wore ordinary military uniforms, and were closely guarded.
In fact, there is no need to keep them under supervision. The law and discipline of the Tang army are strict. If someone flees in fear of crime, not only will his head be shown to the public after being caught, but his whole family will also suffer. Exile is almost inevitable. A descendant of an aristocratic family like Changsun Guang will naturally not exile his whole family.
But the resulting losses are definitely not small.
What's more, Changsun Guangcai didn't think his life was in danger...
When returning to Chang'an from the Western Regions, there will definitely be people of the same clan in the army who will set out together to report what happened in the Western Regions to their families. Although Changsun Guang is not a direct descendant, his blood relationship is not far away. He has received orders from his family for committing such a serious crime.
How can the family ignore it?
As long as Changsun Wuji comes forward, no one can do anything to him...
When the escort chief Sun Guang and a team of soldiers under his command arrived at the post station outside Chang'an City, Cui Dunli, the right minister of the Ministry of War, led more than a hundred soldiers to wait here. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately bundled into prison cars and planned to be transported into the city overnight to imprison the incoming soldiers.
A big prison.
It was only then that Changsun Guang realized something was wrong.
Does the Ministry of War really dare to put them in jail and judge them beyond their authority?
All the previous calmness came from his belief that Weiwei Temple could not allow the Ministry of War to give away the power to judge soldiers and control military law. However, when he saw that all the people coming were from the Ministry of War, Changsun Guang was immediately horrified...
After entering the Ministry of War Yamen, where would his life be?
