Early the next morning, Du Changshi rode to find General Xiao Jiang. Jiang Xun was now the fourth-ranked General Xuanwu. Jiang Xun asked whether the man named Zhao would return the cotton cart obediently.
Jiang Xun and Du Changshi have always been close brothers. Although Colonel Zhao is not in charge of Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun said, "Colonel Zhao's superior officer is Xing Qianhu.
Go and talk to Xing Qianhu." Zhou Qianhu was Qianhu under Jiang Xun, so he sent Zhou Qianhu there at that time.
"Thank you."
Jiang Xun said, "Call me Senior Brother Quan to thank me."
"I see you've relapsed into your ignorance of a master. My martial arts has made great progress, so I'll have time to compete."
"Don't compare, I'm afraid of hurting my junior brother."
"Junior brother, why have you learned to speak nonsense?"
The two quarreled for a while, and Zhou Qianhu came back, accompanied by Captain Fang. Captain Fang cupped his hands to Du Changshi and said politely, "The people below must have been careless and caused trouble."
This kind of misunderstanding caused me to mistakenly withhold something from you. I'm going to make it up to you."
"Captain Fang, that's too polite. You are responsible for patrolling the palace area, and it is your duty to randomly inspect the goods. It's just that these cottons are needed urgently. If they haven't been inspected yet, I don't mind waiting any longer."
"Okay, okay, there's no problem at all." Fang Xiaowei mentally greeted the eighteenth generation of Xiaowei Zhao's ancestors and wanted to say that you, surnamed Zhao, are out of your mind.
Cotton truck, let me apologize to you now!
Captain Fang personally took Du Changshi to pick up the cotton cart. As soon as he arrived at the place where the Imperial Guards stored their things, he saw a black fire mark on the open space. The flag in charge of guarding the goods was trembling. Captain Fang was furious and asked angrily,
"Where's the cotton cart?"
Xiaoqi knelt down directly and said, "Sir, there was a fire last night and the wind picked up again. We, the little ones, couldn't save it. Everything was burned down!"
Du Changshi's eyes were as cold as ice for a moment. He quickly looked away from the scorched earth and asked Colonel Fang, "I wonder who is on duty here?"
Lieutenant Fang shouted at the flag, "Didn't you ask, sir? Who was here last night! Since there was a fire in the camp, why didn't you report back?"
Xiaoqi had a low official position and was trembling all over, "I have just arrived, and I haven't seen Li Xiaoqi, who is in charge here. He is Mr. Zhao's subordinate, and he was the one who brought the cotton truck back yesterday. According to the rules, he had to change shifts last night.
The younger one came over. Li Xiaoqi kept a close eye on the goods and said that Mr. Zhao had specially ordered these goods. He didn't dare to slack off. The younger one went back first. In the morning, Li Xiaoqi's subordinate Sun Dayong went to call his subordinates to hand over the goods. The subordinates just came and saw
There was a big fire here, and Sun Dayong said that what burned were all irrelevant things."
Colonel Fang and Lieutenant Zhao are of the same rank, and both work under Mr.
According to the rules of the Imperial Guard, whoever confiscates the rest belongs to the same person. Therefore, Captain Zhao had to send his own people to take care of it.
Colonel Fang scolded coldly, "Idiot!"
Captain Fang already regarded Captain Zhao as a dead man in his heart, and intercepting the third prince's concubine's cotton cart greatly offended the third prince's mansion. Even if the third prince was not angry about it, he was extremely unhappy about it. Now it's better,
The cotton cart was burned down, and the third prince had to kill Colonel Zhao just for the sake of face.
Colonel Fang was sweating anxiously, thinking about how to give Du Changshi an explanation so as to prevent Du Changshi from venting his anger on Mr. Xing.
Du Changshi took the initiative to relieve Colonel Fang's difficulties. Du Changshi said, "If Lord Fang hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known that the cotton truck had such an accident. Lord Fang, don't worry, your relationship with Lord Xing will not matter to me."
Keep it in mind. Neither you nor I expected that the cotton truck would have an accident, so we have to report this to my queen."
"Yes, yes." Lieutenant Fang apologized, "Master Du, no words of fear can quell your anger now! Don't worry, sir, I will give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter!"
Du Changshi supported Colonel Fang and comforted him warmly, "I know that this matter has nothing to do with you and Mr. Xing, so I will report it truthfully."
Lieutenant Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His position was no lower than that of Du Changshi. Speaking of it, he was actually serving in the Imperial Guards, while Du Changshi was just an official of the royal palace. However, if His Highness is able to take charge, he must be a favored prince, not to mention that in recent years
The Third Prince came to the committee to handle several major cases. Fang Xiaowei really didn't want to offend the Third Prince, not to mention that this incident caused the Third Prince to lose face for no reason. Fang Xiaowei felt that he was wrong. Du Changshi didn't have any respect for him.
Being embarrassed, Captain Fang became more and more polite.
Mu Anzhi, Li Yuhua, was in front of the emperor and the other was at the Empress Dowager Lan's place. Du Changshi went to find Yan Lin first and told Yan Lin about the cotton cart being burned. Yan Lin's face changed slightly, "It was really burned?"
"I saw the burnt place with my own eyes. It was windy last night, so there wasn't much evidence left. Occasionally I saw one or two burnt black things, which seemed to be the remains of burned cotton wool." Du Changshi said, "However, the self-launched army
If they want to embezzle items, especially commercial goods, they will find an excuse to say that they have lost or burned them. Two hundred cotton carts is not a small amount, and soon the Imperial Guards will have to take the donkeys transporting cotton first.
They arrived by mule and carriage. The cotton was either burned or stolen."
"The Imperial Guard will come over soon to explain the cotton truck. You come and explain it to them, and I'll let someone else take care of it."
"good."
When Fang Xiaowei returned, he first reported to Xing Qianhu. Xing Qianhu looked at Fang Xiaowei and said, "Is the man named Zhao out of his mind and crazy?"
Captain Fang was Xing Qianhu's confidant, and he couldn't help but say, "His Highness the Third Highness has no contact with the Imperial Guards, and Captain Zhao suddenly loses His face. His Highness will definitely not be ok with this matter."
Xing Qianhu asked, "What do you think of Du Changshi's face?"
"I'm extremely unhappy. However, Du Changshi said that knowing this matter has nothing to do with you."
Xing Qianhu asked again, "Is there nothing left at all?"
"I asked a few soldiers who were on duty last night. Except for the donkeys and mules that were taken away when the fire broke out, all of them were burned."
Xing Qianhu stood up and said, "Tell General Jiang about this. He specially asked Zhou Qianhu to come over to say hello. Unexpectedly, such an accident happened. I feel very sorry. However, this matter is of great concern.
The third prince is His Majesty's son, and the one named Zhao has disgraced the third prince for no reason. I have to go to Commander Lin first, and you can go back to General Jiang. Tell General Jiang that I will personally go and apologize later."
"yes!"
"After completing the errands here with General Jiang, immediately send the remaining carriages, horses, donkeys and mules back politely. No matter what the third prince says, you just listen, hit and scold them, and don't say a word "no".
Tell the person in charge that the remaining losses will be paid immediately. Although it cannot make up for one ten million, please don't feel bad about it."
"Yes!" Lieutenant Fang was indignant, "The person named Zhao caused such a big disaster, so he asked the adults to clean up the mess for him."
"You think I can really take care of you. Who am I? How can the Third Prince know?" Xing Qianhu sighed, wanted to wear his sword, and immediately went out to see Commander Lin Chenglin.
During Emperor Mu Xuan's trip to the palace, General Lin was not ordered to accompany him. Instead, he took Lin Cheng with him to be responsible for the safety of the emperor. Lin Cheng must personally check the defenses everywhere every day. When Xing Qianhu found Lin Cheng, Jiang Xun was there.
Lin Cheng stood beside him and listened to Lin Cheng's instructions.
Xing Qianhu couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of Captain Zhao's ancestors. Everyone in the imperial guards knew that Jiang Xun was His Majesty's favorite general. His Majesty all called him Xiao Jiang affectionately. General Jiang was of a distinguished family background, and he was proud of his martial arts skills.
, acts fairly, and has been promoted rapidly since he joined the Imperial Guard. This man named Zhao has always wanted to offend General Jiang, and now he will suffer the consequences!
After Lin Cheng finished explaining, Xing Qianhu stepped forward and Jiang Xun said, "General, my subordinates will go ahead and arrange the arrangements."
Xing Qianhu said, "I just took Colonel Fang to General Jiang's place. I didn't want the general to be here with the commander. General Jiang, something happened to the cotton carriage of the third prince's concubine." Lin Cheng was appointed as the third-rank commander of the Imperial Guard.
He was granted the title of General Zhaoyi.
After listening to Xing Qianhu's words, Jiang Xun and Lin Cheng first reported back the ins and outs of the cotton cart, "The third prince's concubine's weaving workshop is located on the third prince's village, not far from the palace, and there are often carriages and horses carrying goods to and from the imperial capital. This morning
Du Changshi from the Third Prince's Mansion came to look for his subordinates and said that yesterday Captain Zhao had detained two hundred cotton carts sent to the workshop. Du Changshi came to ask if there was anything wrong with the cotton carts. I was thinking about these hundreds of carts.
Putting it in the imperial guard camp will take up space, not to mention the Third Prince's respect. If there is no obstruction, it will be sent back to the workshop. Zhao Lieutenant was on duty at Xing Qianhu's place, so he asked Zhou Qianhu to go over and ask."
Lin Cheng asked Xing Qianhu, "What happened?"
Xing Qianhu carefully told the story about burning the cotton cart, and Lin Cheng asked, "Where is Zhao Cong?"
"Captain Zhao, Xiu Mu, did not come on duty today."
Lin Cheng couldn't argue with his emotions, "Since he is the one who detained the cotton cart, let him explain it to the Third Prince's Mansion!"
Captain Zhao was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a fire would start in the middle of the night and burn down two hundred cotton trucks. He had no idea what to do. Knowing that the donkeys and mules had been sent back to the third prince by Xing Qianhu, he forced him to
He went back to report to Xing Qianhu, but Xing Qianhu said, "You didn't even come to report to me yesterday to seize the cotton cart. Since you can seize the cotton cart, you can solve the problem yourself." He blocked Colonel Zhao back.
Captain Zhao said in his heart that it was my responsibility to seize the cotton cart. No one expected that the cotton cart would be burned. If it was burned, it would be burned. At the worst, he would be compensated with some money. Zhao ordered hundreds of households under him to give Yan Lin 200 yuan.
Two taels of silver were considered compensation for the loss of cotton.
Yan Lin backhandedly sued Lieutenant Zhao to the Ministry of Punishment on the charge of seizing merchants' goods and selling them secretly to make huge profits!
Moreover, everyone got the stolen goods, as evidenced by the two hundred cotton carts. Zhao Xiaowei produced the documents that the cotton carts burned, and also paid the compensation of two hundred taels of silver to the workshop. But the two hundred cotton carts were in good condition, and they were allowed to
The doctor and his men intercepted the merchant in the Imperial City and caught the merchant who received the cotton cart. This man was a member of Zhao Xiaowei's clan. He took over the goods confiscated by the imperial guards and sold them at low prices to make private money.
The person who brought the cotton cart to the Imperial City was also Zhao Lieutenant's confidant Yang Baihu.
This matter not only went through the Ministry of Punishment, but also related to the Imperial Guards. The Yushitai got wind of it first, and Yushi Zhuo joined the Imperial Guards in front of the king.
The Imperial Guards, in accordance with their duties, took away people's property!
Lin Chengjun did not shy away from the situation in his prelude, "I knew about this the day before yesterday. The two hundred taels of cotton carts were goods from the third prince's weaving workshop, and were detained by Zhao Cong on suspicion of inappropriateness. When I knew this, Zhao Cong
It was reported that the cotton cart had been burned down. I sent someone to check the burned area of the cotton cart. At that time, the cotton was not unloaded from the carriage. Because of the wind at night, even if the cotton was burned to ashes, there should be some remnants of the two hundred carriages.
, but there was nothing. I ordered General Jiang to investigate secretly. Since this matter involves a criminal case, it is not easy for the imperial guards to handle it privately, so I informed the Ministry of Punishment, and everyone got the stolen goods."
Emperor Mu Xuan's face soothed, "There is such a black sheep in the Imperial Guard."
Lin Cheng said, "With the passage of time in peacetime, it is inevitable that moths will appear. It is not surprising. If you catch one, you will catch one! If you catch two, you will catch a pair! Under the light of your majesty's holy light, these ghosts and ghosts in the dark realm cannot become a climate."
Emperor Mu Xuan's face softened and he said to Lin Cheng, "You should be more concerned about the Imperial Guard. Although my safety is important, don't disturb the people. It is not easy for ordinary people to make a living."
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will strictly follow the rules and not let the imperial guards disturb the people!"
When Prince Mu Anzhi was watching Lin Cheng's exchange in front of the imperial court, he couldn't help but have an idea: Zhuo Yushi actually failed at one point!
Especially when Lin Cheng took out Zhao Cong before Mu Anzhi launched his attack, not only did he eliminate a crisis for the imperial guards, but also privately... Zhao Cong was Lin Cheng's stepmother's natal nephew and second son-in-law... See
Come on, the relationship between General Lin Cheng and his stepmother is very unusual.
When Lin Cheng was defending himself in front of the emperor, a group of wolf-like officials from the Ministry of Punishment rushed into the Zhao family with the order of Minister Cheng, sealed up all documents and property, and banned all members of the Zhao family into two small courtyards for men and women!
The Ministry of Criminal Justice officially investigates the corruption case of Zhao Cong during his tenure!
