Chapter 144 The war between cats and mice
On the way to escape, Zhan Zhao kept observing the people's situation in the Wuwei Military Region and found it very strange that the people here did not seem to be energetic and did not like to talk. Whenever they saw something strange, they would avoid it and close the doors and windows to hide.
Don't know where the problem lies?
Zhan Zhao firmly believes in a truth: something abnormal will happen. There must be a reason behind these phenomena.
Despite this, Zhan Zhao thought of Wang Rong's killing decision in time. The bad boy was too cruel. No matter what the reason, the captives who had surrendered were seen when Zhan Zhao rushed over. They knelt on the ground like beasts waiting for execution.
Zhan Zhao couldn't understand why anyone could do this to someone who had surrendered without threat?
Based on the people's sentiment we see now, Zhan Zhao also believes that something must have happened here. This is the reason why the Huaixi Commander approved the dispatch of troops.
Chen Jianming is so compatible with those who don’t want to do things, and the phenomenon is clear and the essence is that there must be monsters in this area. But Sima Guang is not wrong. It would be fine if someone else solves the problem. If a gangster of the hero level like Wang Rong came in to clear the field with a team like soldiers and bandits, there would definitely be a huge problem that shocked the court and the public.
"Maybe he has a reason. But Wang Rong is definitely not a kind-hearted person, which is very dangerous!"
He murmured to himself that Zhan Zhao put his foot strength to the limit and needed to arrive at Wuwei County as soon as possible to present a private message from Lord Bao to Liu Zhichao to recommend the official.
While I was rushing, I encountered a team of imperial guards moving far away. Zhan Zhao was so scared that he couldn't take care of himself and hurriedly hid.
Zhan Zhao hated him, because of Wang Rong, now I, Zhan Zhao, have become a shameless rat?
This little traitor must have bribed the old traitor General Chen. These bureaucrats were so angry that they just made an excuse to "suspend the Imperial City Department for investigation". Since they were suspended, no matter what the reason, of course they could not walk around with long swords. The Song Dynasty ruled strictly stipulated the size of weapons. It was obvious that Zhan Zhao's sword exceeded the size. Therefore, when encountering an imperial guard, he could only avoid it.
Most people are unwilling to be responsible for the inspection, which is why Bai Yutang still wanders around. But if he is seen and so many witnesses are caught by Wang Yun's grandson, it will be easy to get the Bao Mansion out of Taiwan.
Hiding like a mouse and waiting for the army to pass by, Zhan Zhao smiled bitterly at this situation. Is this the legendary "hands and eyes are all-out"...
Three days later, it was dusk when he entered Wuwei County. Zhan Zhao was like a wanted criminal, wearing a weird felt hat and deliberately lowered the edges. He also watched at the city gate if there were any wanted orders or something.
This scene seems familiar. In the past, Zhan Zhao specially captured such sneaky people. This is all thanks to Wang Yun's grandson.
Fortunately, the world is still the same. Wang Rong has not yet reached the point of "unlimited magic power", and Wuwei County has no wanted order for Zhan Zhao.
So he deliberately avoided the Zhijun Yamen and went to the office to promote the office.
The Wuwei Army is not only a single army, but also a jurisdiction. This kind of semi-militarized area was called Junzhou in the Song Dynasty. It was a military army, but the core was also a state system. The Wuwei Army's system was not high, and it was "to the same as the state-level commander". In other words, the Wuwei Army's military commander was of a lower level.
In this way, the Wuwei Army is an independent individual, not controlled by the surrounding magistrates, but only controlled by the Huaixi Transportation Envoy in terms of food and grass finance, and military control by the Huaixi Strategic Envoy.
But when the Criminal Department and the General Prison Department were not released, Wuwei Army was awesome and had completely gained the judicial power under its rule.
In other dynasties, judicial power is not important, military power is the core.
But during the Song Dynasty, judicial power was almost everything. Wang Anshi could not control this place because Wang Anshi was just a magistrate of Shuzhou, not Huaixi.
If the Supreme Fourth Army of the Imperial Army is stationed outside, there is usually no administrative division, and the local magistrate is managed by the local magistrate. For example, if it is in the boundary of Shuzhou, it will be called "Superior Army Shuzhou Stationing Office". The military power is in the magistrate, and the military power is in the three yamen of Bianjing.
This is probably the model.
Walking on the streets of Wuwei County, Zhan Zhao frowned slightly after thinking through these twists and turns in the system, thinking that if there were problems with the senior leaders of Wuwei Army in this situation, if they had judicial power but were almost uncontrolled, it would be a huge problem if there was a problem.
After waiting for a while after the notice, Zhan Zhao followed the police into the Wuwei Army Promotion Office.
When he came to the back hall, he saw a thirty-year-old scholar holding a book. He put down the book and said, "Shan Guard, right? Why did you come to see me?"
"Zhan Zhao, the grass-roots people, have seen Liu Tuisi." Zhan Zhao did not salute, but the civilians were kneeling on the ground.
Liu Tuiguan was stunned: "Why is it so serious? Zhan Daxia is famous all over the world. Haven't he been working with Baofu all the time?"
Zhan Zhao said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "This trip to Huaixi was secretly sent by Bao's house because of a case, but he offended some villains with great hands and eyes. Now Zhan has been suspended from investigation. Liu Tuisi still needs to take action to turn the tide and stop some crazy people from doing whatever they want."
Officer Liu was frightened and jumped up. When he heard words like "hands and eyes are clear", even the favorite general of Bao's family, Zhan Zhao, was suspended from office for investigation, so there was no need to ask the inside story, it was definitely a major event that caused hatred.
So Lui Guan Liu did not speak in time, and frowned and stood up and walked.
Zhan Zhao felt a little relieved at this point. Lord Liu did not agree in time and made what the traditional bureaucrats should send. Zhan Zhao believed that no matter what the troubles were here, this Liu Tui Guan could trust.
Zhan Zhao said, "Don't hesitate, Lord Tui Si. The son of Wang Anshi, the upstart political king, is taking a group of soldiers and bandits to operate in the jurisdiction of the Wuwei Army. You don't know who he is..."
Liu Tuiguan raised his hand and stopped, "Don't talk anymore. Of course, I don't like Wang Anshi, but I won't listen to the one-sided words of a problematic person who was suspended. Of course, Wang Rong led his troops into Wuwei District. But that was the authorization of Huaixi Shuaishou. If you don't have any strong evidence, I don't want to hear you slander the upstart Wang Anshi here."
At this point, Zhan Zhao felt more at ease with him. There was a reason why the Bao family trusted this person.
So Zhan Zhao took out Bao Zheng's letter and handed it on: "Please check it out, Lord Liu, this is a private message from Bao's mansion to you."
Officer Liu hesitated for a while before he took it over, but he didn't look at it and asked, "Does the teacher not trust Wang Anshi?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "The Bao family just doesn't trust Wang Rong. But I don't know what he said specifically. Lord Liu will know it after seeing it himself."
After reading the letter, Liu Tuiwang felt very embarrassed. Now it is obvious that Zhan Zhao is here to represent Bao Zheng.
However, Lao Liu was still walking around and thinking about it.
"Soldiers are very fast, so please don't hesitate. As I saw with my own eyes, the two battalions of Wuwei Army have been wiped out by Wang Rong." Zhan Zhao said astonishingly.
"What!"
Officer Liu was frightened and jumped up and said in horror: "Why should we wipe out the Wuwei Army?"
Zhan Zhao said lightly: "I don't know about it, and I didn't have time to argue with him and received the suspension order. However, if something goes wrong, there will be monsters. Behind these unreasonable things, there must be shocking conspiracies!"
Liu Tui Guan narrowed his eyes for a moment and said to himself: "The Wuwei Army was strangled, but the perpetrator was appointed by Huaixi Supervisor. He is the son of the upstart Wang Anshi, and the famous general of the state dynasty Mu Guiying supervised the formation...you..."
He paused and said, "Zhan Zhao, do you think your news can't scare me? Or maybe there is something wrong with my Wuwei Army, it's me, Liu, who was not supervising and governing me. Or what you mean is to ask me to stop this military operation, deny the Huaixi Supervisor, and deny the personality of famous generals Mu Guiying and Wang Anshi. What do you mean?"
Zhan Zhao was speechless to these bureaucrats and hurriedly said, "Don't think too much. Bei Zhi just states what he sees, it has no other meaning. It is to let you know your current state, and as the Wuwei District Promotion Office, you have to find out the reasons behind the scenes. Bei Zhi will be by your side to protect you and help you handle the case."
So Lao Liu continued to walk around and hesitate.
"Sir, you can't hesitate, otherwise this innocence will begin to collapse." Zhan Zhao instigated.
"Don't urge me, then tell me what I want to do." Liu Tui Guan stopped.
The more this grandson did, Zhan Zhao trusted him more and more, and said, "The most urgent task is to stop Wang Rong from continuing to kill people. He passed by like locusts. Wuwei District would be killed and burned all by him. You also said that he was Wang Anshi's son, with famous general Mu Guiying participating in the supervision of the formation and Huaixi's authorization. So after the dirty work is finished, he must be the justice side. In the end, even if there are really evil people here, the final result is that he will be killed by him, and Wuwei Army's wealth will be taken away by him. You will also bear the mess you have under your control."
Liu Tui Guan pointed to his nose and said, "I didn't ask you what would happen. I don't know yet. I asked you how to do it, tell me the plan directly, and ask me less about the political sequelae for me."
"Immediately intercept Wang Yun's troops to advance. As long as you are willing to come forward, I will endorse you. As long as you catch up with Wang Yun's troops, you will give the order, I will immediately arrest Yang Jian, the commander of the bandit suppression army, and find a reason to ask the Promotion Office to file a case for investigation. In that case, there will be no general in the Wang Yun's troops. They will not jump up, restrict them first and do not cause more blood flow events. Then I will assist you in the overall investigation under your rule and find out the truth. Don't worry, sir, no matter how big the problem is, the Baofu will definitely support you." Zhan Zhao instigated.
Hehe, Liu Tui Guan was happy when he heard this and smiled and said, "Is it enough to just arrest the commander Yang Jian?"
Zhan Zhao said: "Yes, that's fine. In this operation of Huaixi Supervisor, Chen Jianming did not dare to appoint Wang Rong and Mu Guiying as the main generals because he was afraid of taking responsibility. They had no executive power and only had the right to observe. Once the last general arrested Yang Jian, the army could not move. He had to wait for the new appointment of Huaixi Supervisor on the spot. With this time difference, we can do things. If Wang Rong and Mu Guiying dared to continue leading the army and move, it would be a violation of the military system. As long as you dare to order, the last general would take action to arrest Mu Guiying and Wang Rong together and escort them to the Privy Council for his father Wang Anshi to deal with it."
"It's bad. Zhan Zhao, please tell me, why did they offend you?" Liu Tui Guan pointed at Zhan Zhao's nose with malicious intentions.
Zhan Zhao said lightly: "The last one will follow the footsteps of Bao's mansion, be loyal to the court, be loyal to the Song Dynasty, and be loyal to the Song Dynasty, without personal feelings."
Official Liu Tui said: "What if there is really a monster here and restrict Wang Rong's army to quell the rebellion, and the monster jumps up and makes trouble, let's do it?"
Zhan Zhao said: "Just follow the rules. No matter how chaotic the situation is, we will never stand by and watch. We will definitely assist the adults in arresting all the monsters in accordance with the rules. However, we must follow the rules and we must not let Wang Rong's bandits rob. He and those monsters are not good things."
After hesitating for a moment, Old Liu stamped his feet and said, "Okay, I will admit that I offend anyone. Let's go into battle now and capture Wang Yun's troops. Damn, he is too disrespectful. He will wipe out the two battalions of Wuwei Army with just a disagreement. Although I usually suspect that Wuwei Army has problems, he will not give me face if he kills people directly. He doesn't even understand the procedure for sending prisoners to the office for interrogation. How could Wang Anshi educate such a son?"
As he said that, Lao Liu wanted to go out with his hands behind his back.
Speaking of scholars, in fact, there is no one in this place. He doesn't even know what the Zhijun Yamen is doing. He dare not learn too much about Lord Jun.
He was also a poor scholar with no family background, and only two elderly, weak, sick and disabled servants were supporting the store. Under such circumstances, there was an assassination of his former prosecutor. Therefore, Liu Shusheng could only live a mess here all day, and he could not perform his revenge.
Now is an opportunity. It seems that Bian Jing has the support of Lord Bao, and there are invincible masters like Zhan Zhao who act as thugs by his side. Old Liu just wants to do something to find his presence.
No matter what, he certainly has certain judicial power, but he just says that judicial power without the endorsement of a violent agency is just a fuck. Now, Zhan Zhao is a violent agency.
However, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped and said embarrassedly: "Sir, I have no position anymore. Have you appointed a position to a low position for a while?"
"Yes, I am now temporarily appointing you as the inspector of Wuwei District Promotion Office." Lao Liu wrote a letter of appointment on the spot and handed it over to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao had read the appointment letter and put it away, muttering to himself: "Damn little brat, now he is a cat and a mouse. Let's see who you and I will catch who."
