Soldiers come to the world

The so-called Navy Prison is actually a place to detain soldiers who violated military regulations. It is located in the southeast corner of the Navy Dazhai. It is a long building made of bluestone, more than twenty feet long, and can hold hundreds of people.

But at this time, only the clerks and stewards of the Dow Company were detained in the prison, a total of more than [-] people. After the torture in the middle of the night last night, almost all the clerks with the ship confessed.

Even Zhang Xian, the manager who knew he had framed him, couldn't stand the torture, so he was forced to sign and pledge the false accusation, acknowledging that the Dow Company smuggled prohibited weapons.

In the innermost room of the prison, Zhang Xian, the steward, was firmly locked up by an iron chain. He was lying on a dilapidated bed with straw piled up in one corner, and several mice poked their heads out from the bed.

Zhang Xian had been beaten to a bloody mess and couldn't move. At this moment, "Wow!" came from the thick wooden fence. ’ With a sound, a jailer in soap clothes unlocked and came in, holding a pack of gold-chuang medicine in his hand, he said in a vicious voice: "There is an order from above, I am afraid that you will die, let me give you the medicine!"

Zhang Xian snorted, turned around, the jailer ignored him, squatted down, and smeared the golden medicine on his hands and feet.

At this moment, the jailer looked back and said in a low voice, "What do you want me to take out?"

Zhang Xian turned his head in surprise, glanced at him, suddenly sneered, and lay down again. The jailer smiled wryly, "You have confessed, do I still need to trick you? Someone entrusted me."

Only then did Zhang Xian turn his head slowly, and sighed after a while, "I can't stand the torture, and I have committed infidelity, so what else can I say."

The jailer nodded silently, and said again: "Your two bosses have also been arrested and locked in the next cell, and those stewards are interrogating one by one!"

At this time, there was a scream from a distance, followed by someone crying faintly: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Zhang Xian bit his lips tightly, he suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "I only have one thing to say, Wang Cheng and Zhao Yong are not our buddies, they are the two of them who framed the Tao family."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In front of the steps of the State Government Plaza, Liu Jing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he was a little worried, he should have hidden Tao Zhan in the barracks if he had known earlier, and he shouldn't have hesitated because of the damn military discipline.

He was very worried that Zhang Yun's army would find Tao Zhan and take her away. However, it was his own house, so maybe he would still be a little bit cautious.

Even though he knew that this self-comfort was meaningless, Liu Jing still hoped that Tao Zhan would be safe.

Liu Jing probably guessed that it was Zhang Yun who did it. The Tao family's most abundant resource is money, and Zhang Yun planted the Tao family's money for nothing more than to make money.

At this time, a guard came out and saluted, "Kuai Canjun, please come in, sir!"

Kuai Yue's official position is Zhonglang Jiang, who joined the army. He is the third most powerful official in Jingzhou after Cai Mao. His official office is located next door to Liu Biao's official office.

Liu Jing followed the guards into the official room. The official room was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside.

"Master Jing, please come in!" Kuai Yue's laughter came from the room.

Liu Jing walked into the back room quickly, and saw Kuai Yue sitting behind the desk writing vigorously, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Junior see Duke Kuai!"

Kuai Yue hasn't seen Liu Jing since the last time he helped him persuade Liu Biao. He put down his pen, looked him up and down with a smile, "Is the injury better?"

"Report to Duke Kuai, it's almost ready."

Kuai Yue nodded, "I heard from your uncle that he is going to let Huang Zhong teach you martial arts. Have you already apprenticed?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly in his heart, Huang Zhong didn't take others' love, he refused to accept himself as an apprentice, how could he have any apprenticeship, he shook his head, "It's just learning art."

After a pause, Liu Jing went on to say, "Today I have something to ask Kuai Gong for help."

"Hehe! What's the matter of being so eager?"

"Last night, the Tao family boat was intercepted by the navy..."

Liu Jing then told Kuai Yue the news he knew in detail, and finally said: "This incident, whether it is a tourist payment office or a navy army, is quite strange. It is obviously premeditated, and the Tao family fleet is halfway Disappeared a month ago, and now suddenly reappeared, and weapons were found on board, doesn’t Duke Kuai feel that this is a frame-up?”

Kuai Yue closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Prefect Li told me about this matter in the morning, and he was also quite dissatisfied with it. The Tourist Payment Office didn't report this matter to him. He heard it from the magistrate of Fancheng County. , only then did I know that this great event had happened.”

Liu Jing's heart moved. He remembered that Tao Zhan said that his second uncle came to find the missing fleet because of Li Gui, the prefect of Xiangyang.Certainly not.

So. ． ． ．Is it because of this that Li Gui came to Kuai Yue?In order to save the Tao family.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing's eyes became eager, and he stared at Kuai Yue with piercing eyes. Kuai Yue seemed to understand what Liu Jing was thinking. He smiled, stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the blue sky for a long time. , he said with a faint smile: "Do you know why Zhang Yun wanted to attack the Tao family?"

"The juniors don't know!"

Kuai Yue sighed, "Your uncle agreed with Zhang Yun a month ago to restore his trilogy private soldiers, and allowed him to have [-] trilogy. This is the root of the disaster. Zhang Yun has no money and food to recruit soldiers!"

Liu Jing was slightly taken aback, and Kuai Yue made it clear that Liu Biao had allowed Zhang Yun to recruit private soldiers again. He couldn't help frowning, and asked in puzzlement, "Didn't my uncle say last time that he wanted to use this matter to eliminate the secret?" Is it the problem of private soldiers in Jingzhou's trilogy?"

Kuai Yue smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's not that simple. The three major troubles in Jingzhou, trilogy, slaves, and manors, are all related to the major families in Jingzhou, including our Kuai family, who also have more than [-] private soldiers in trilogy. He owns more than a dozen large manors and thousands of slave households.

There are more powerful families such as the Cai family, the Huang family, and the Pang family. These are only the four major families. In fact, there are dozens of small and medium-sized families. For example, the Chaisang Tao family is one of them. But he didn't have the courage to really attack the aristocratic family, and in the end it was nothing, so he promised Zhang Yun to resume the trilogy, in fact, because he gave up on this matter. "

Liu Jing was silent, this incident was beyond his expectations, but after careful consideration, it was within his expectations. When he read Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he always thought that Liu Biao was a useless person who was deceived by the Cai family and sent him away for nothing. Foundation.

But in this era, he realized that Liu Biao was also a man of great talent and generality. He entered Jingzhou alone, relied on the family of Jingzhou, fought south and north for more than ten years, and conquered thousands of miles of land.

But Liu Biao has a fatal weakness. He lacks courage and determination. He values ​​fame too much and dare not offend the Jingzhou family. Some indecision.

He can't get out of this vicious circle anymore, he has been busy balancing the interests of the family all his life, and even arranging his own marriage is a kind of compromise for the interests of the Jingzhou family.

It is also for this reason that he restored Zhang Yun's music department two months after depriving Zhang Yun's music department, which is enough to explain everything.

But now we are not talking about these complicated political and economic issues, but now we are going to solve the immediate crisis. Liu Jing returned to the matter of the Tao family, and said in a deep voice, "I hope Duke Kuai can help me solve the crisis of the Tao family."

Kuai Yue nodded. Li Gui had already come to him once in the morning, and he was a little hesitant, because he knew that Cai Mao was manipulating the matter behind it, and it had nothing to do with him. Also came to beg him, Kuai Yue finally decided to intervene in this matter.

"Okay! I'll go talk to Zhou Mu. In addition, you have to try your best to find some evidence that is beneficial to the Tao family. If the evidence of the Tao family's smuggling of arms is solid, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others insist, Even if Zhou Mu wants to mediate this matter, it may not be easy."

"The younger generation understands, so let's look for evidence."

Liu Jing saluted and left Kuaiyue's official residence. He was worried about Tao Zhan's safety, so he immediately returned to Fancheng.

Kuai Yue sat in the official room and pondered for a while, then came to Liu Biao's official room unhurriedly. Liu Biao's official building was an independent two-story building, located next door to Kuai Yue's official room, but it was actually more than [-] steps away. , to go for a while.

Kuai Yue walked to the door of the official room and asked the guard, "Is the state shepherd here?"

"Reporting to join the army, Zhou Mu is discussing military affairs with Cai Junshi."

Cai Mao was also there, it was a bit difficult to handle, Kuai Yue pondered for a while, and said to the guard: "Report to the state shepherd for me, just say that I have something urgent to see!"
