Chapter 82 Bad news about Wang Yan and Chen Guang
  Liu Guozhang hurriedly walked into the gate of the Military Patrol Court. The gatekeeper and the clerk inside greeted him politely: "Erlang is here."

"Coming, coming. Have you had breakfast?" Liu Guozhang responded kindly along the way.

After walking through the lobby and before reaching the front hall, I heard Zhang Zeduan saying from a distance: "Today's task is to capture the leader, deputy leader, four guardians, and eight kings of the Cai family gang to me."

"Zhiyuan, what is the crime?" someone asked.

"Yes, since the Caihe Gang, Tianbo Gang, and Qingqiu Gang were wiped out, the leaders of the gangs in the inner and outer cities of Kaifeng have all obeyed the law and are more like good citizens than us."

Zhang Zeduan sneered a few times, "How many days have they been pretending to be good people, and you can't bear to take action? What a thief! These bastards have done cases, and the files piled in the cabinet are taller than them."

Just dig up a few old cases, bring them all back, throw them into the prison of the Military Inspectorate, and lock them up for three to five days, and the Wuhe Gang will take care of everything. Without a foundation, they are no better than stray dogs on the street. They will be punished as they please. What are you worried about? "

"Yes!"

"There is one more thing that is closely related to everyone. Please listen carefully." Zhang Zeduan added, "In the past, the Military Inspection Institute was divided into the left and right houses, with only two military inspectors and two military inspectors on the left and right. When Taishi Cai learned about Kaifeng Mansion, he streamlined his troops and streamlined his administration. , the rules were changed, the two houses were merged into one house, and the number of military inspectors was changed from two to four, and later to eight and sixteen.

Now the court is discussing that it needs to be changed back. The Military Patrol Court is divided into left and right houses, responsible for the inner city and the outer city. Add one more military envoy to the left and right. "

Everyone was talking a lot, and some people couldn't help but ask: "What about you, Zhiyuan?"

"I won't change! I'm still in charge of the left and right houses, and I have someone on top of me. Besides, I've just stuffed so much money into the Zhongshu Ministry and the Ministry of Personnel, and I'm about to jerk off before my butt gets hot. , the money was taken in vain!
  If the official remains unchanged, then the rules and strategies set by him will also remain unchanged, so everyone can rest assured. I just want to remind you that the Military Inspectorate will have about two more military inspectors, who will be promoted from among you. I am very optimistic about you! "

Everyone responded impassionedly: "We are willing to go through fire and water for the Imperial Academy, no matter what!"

The military envoys and judges came out one after another, and when they saw Liu Guozhang, they all said hello.

Wang Xun nodded with a smile, cupped his hands, and left with everyone without saying anything.

"Brother Zhengdao, have you had breakfast? I brought you two meatloaf." Liu Guozhang walked in swaggeringly.

Seeing that it was him, Zhang Zeduan's expression changed, he lifted up his front and left.

"Let's go and sign for the mortgage room."

After taking two steps, he turned around and snatched the meat pie from Liu Guozhang's hand, and took a big bite: "What a thief, this military patrol has a lot of money and a lot of things to do. Day by day, I am tired." .”

"If you have money and power, it will be worth it no matter how tired you are."

"Erlang's words make sense. Let's go quickly, there's something important."

When they arrived at the deposit room, Zhang Zeduan asked Liu Guozhang to go in first. He looked around, closed the door cautiously, and said eagerly: "Something happened to Wang Yan and Chen Guang."

Liu Guozhang was suddenly startled, "What happened?"

"Last month, the Beijing Left-behind Mansion sentenced two people to neglect their duties and disobey military orders. They were assigned to the Nan'an Army on Jiangnan West Road. The official document was reported to the capital, and Zhongshu Province suddenly changed the sentence. They were assigned to the Huaide Army on Qinfeng Road. They were first sent to Fengqiu Laocheng for tattoos. , and then we will be married. Calculating the time, Wang Yan and Chen Guang should be escorted to Fengqiu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Liu Guozhang's mind was buzzing, and he tried to calm down.

"Brother Zhengdao, did you send someone to find out about this matter?"

"No. Last time you asked me to inquire about Wang Yan and Chen Guang. I asked an old friend who was on a business trip in Hejian to ask him when he passed by Daming Mansion. But his letter has not come back yet. This news is Li Boji told me."

"Judge Li Gang of the Left Hall of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Yes. The king and his ministers were sent to Fengqiu Prison City first, and they must inform the Kaifeng Mansion. And this matter is within his responsibility. I also asked him for information about Wang and Chen. , He has more friends in the officialdom than I do. When I saw their names, I asked my servant to tell me early in the morning."

Zhang Zeduan said while biting the meat pie. “Bo Ji also said that there is something fishy about this matter.”

"What's weird?"

"Boji said that Wang Yan was no more than a general in the army, Chen Guang was no more than a guard, and the daimyo left behind to practice military law. According to the rules, such official documents were circulated in the Ministry of Justice, Privy Council, and Zhongshu Sheng for a month or two. A certain petty official approved it and transferred it back to Daming Mansion. However, someone from Zhongshu Province picked it out.

Even if he was assigned to Qin Fenglu, he would be assigned to Daming Mansion and sent directly to the west, but he had to receive Fengqiu Prison City first. This is puzzling. "

Liu Guozhang felt clear and asked with a smile: "Zhongshu Province? Who has the right to read the official documents of Zhongshu Province at will?"

"Grand Master Cai, with the dignity of Grand Master, he is in charge of the three provinces, and he can access all the official documents in the world." Zhang Zeduan seemed to have realized something, and quietly came over and said.

"It is rumored that Taishi Cai was over seventy years old, and his energy and eyesight were poor, so he took the official affairs that should be handled in Zhengshi Hall back to Taishifang. He also gave many official documents from Zhongshu Province to his young master to handle on his behalf. I don’t know if it’s the fourth government office or the fifth government office.”

Liu Guozhang looked at Zhang Zeduan, who was dark and thin but full of energy. He pretended not to care and said, "Brother Zhengdao, this is a trivial matter. I will just go and ask for a pardon document under the banner of Lingguang Academy."

Zhang Zeduan looked at Liu Guozhang, his eyes shining brightly, "Erlang will deal with it himself. If there is any problem, just come to me. Even if I am making trouble, I will also ask the teacher to go to Gao Taiwei or Liang Neixiang to ask for Zhang Wenwen."

"Okay, I'll deal with it first. It's a small matter. After I rescue the two brothers Wang Yan and Chen Guang, I will drink with you. They are also heroic and generous men. Brother Zhengdao will definitely make him a confidant. "

"Okay, Yuxian Tower! You must Yuxian Tower! Since Yuxian Tower was taken down by you and the owner, it has become more and more prosperous, and the food and drinks are much better. The VIP card you gave me gives me a 30% discount. No use, no use!
  I'll make a reservation at Yuxian Tower first and wait for you! "

"it is good!"

Passing by Lingguang Courtyard and looking at the majestic gate, Liu Guozhang sighed, rode his horse back to his small courtyard, and called Yue Fei and Zhang Meng.

"Brother Fei, I asked someone to invite Dr. Zhang. He specializes in treating wind and cold epidemics and is very good. I have agreed to ask him to go to Tangyin to treat Master Zhou Tong. You can escort him back and take a look. Family. Set off at noon."

"So urgent?" Yue Fei asked puzzledly.

"Doctor Zhang is a famous doctor in the country. There are many people waiting for him to see a doctor. I only asked him to nod because of my connections. Go early and come back early."

Yue Fei thought about it, it was the same thing.

"Okay! I'll get ready right away."

"Those things are gifts I bought for your parents and brother Fan Geer. If you go to Bianjing's flower world, you can't go back empty-handed."

Yue Fei rubbed the back of his head and smiled: "Brother is still thoughtful."

After Yue Fei left, Liu Guozhang turned to Zhang Meng: "Big eye, my eldest brother's coffin is parked at Lingguang Temple outside the city. That temple is too small and dilapidated. The monk in the temple said yesterday that the back hall was leaking. This is not okay. I Thinking about it, Shunjie Transportation Co., Ltd. happened to be escorting a batch of goods to be transported by water to Yangzhou.

You help me transport my eldest brother's coffin to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing and stop it at Daming Temple. I've told you everything, you can help take care of it and come back after parking at Daming Temple. "

Zhang Meng agreed to come down without saying anything.

"Let's leave after lunch. First, transport my eldest brother's coffin from Lingguang Temple to Bianhe Wharf and load it on the boat. Big eyes, be sure to look carefully."

"Okay brother, I'll go to Lingguangyuan to have lunch and then leave."

Liu Guozhang sat in the middle of the yard, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself, "What unfulfilled wishes do I have?"
