This person is very strange. Although he has hands, legs and head, he is square and will be surprised at first glance. Why don’t you have a neck?

Wang Bengu stood on the steps and frowned. He probably wasn't a literati... He looked like this. If he was a juren, he would never be elected as a minister in his life when he went to the Ministry of Personnel.

He is indeed not a literati. Hou Ruliang smiled lightly and walked down the steps, "If you have any disagreement, you will have to draw your sword and break into the governor's lobby. General Dong Shen was like this in Datong back then?"

Wang Bengu immediately looked at the middle-aged man with a brand new look. This was the younger brother of Zhejiang General Dong Yikui, and the general of Zhejiang Eastern Governor Dong Yiyuan... It's a pity that Dong Yiyuan, the middle-aged man in Wang Bengu's eyes, is only twenty-four years old this year.

Before heading south, Xu Jie told Wang Bengu in his study that many years ago, Xu Jie had kindness to Dong Yang, the father of the Dong family. It was precisely because of this origin that Xu Jie transferred him to Zhejiang... Of course, Zhejiang's wealth due to sea trade is the main reason.

Thinking of the origin of the Dong brothers, Wang Bengu glanced at Hou Ruliang again, his mouth was quite neat.

Although Dong Yiyuan was angry at the foot of the stairs, he knew the right way and bowed respectfully: "I was so rude that it was because a few days ago, more than ten personal soldiers suddenly disappeared, and they could not see anyone alive or die or corpses..."

Listening to Dong Yiyuan's explanation, Hou Ruliang's cheeks moved and exchanged helpless eyes with Wang Bengu... This guy couldn't understand, and the seemingly understatement of the accusation just now was a swearing.

Literature has this kind of virtue, even if they curse people, they will be traitors.

Dong Yiyuan was a vanguard from Xuanfu. He worked in Xuanfu and Jimen. He was once a general of Shimen Village and never worked in Datong.

Hou Ruliang's words, "Is it the same thing that General Dong Shen was in Datong back then?" were obviously incompatible with Dong Yiyuan's resume. Instead, Dong Yiyuan's father Dong Yang became the general of Datong.

This is scolding you for not having a tutor and bringing you with his dead father. Hou Ruliang regretted it as soon as he said it... Unexpectedly, the other party didn't understand at all.

Master Zhang asked tentatively, "The personal soldiers are missing... deserters?"

Deserters were very common in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

"Absolutely impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

Hou Ruliang and Dong Yiyuan spoke in unison.

Dong Yiyuan had such confidence. Although Qian Yuan's troubles led to the improvement of the imperial finances, which indirectly caused the unique family servant system of the Ming Dynasty to fail to enter the historical stage, Dong Yiyuan himself was born in the Wei Institute and his personal soldiers survived by relying on the Dong family. How could he suddenly escape more than ten?

And Hou Ruliang was sure that it was impossible because he could see clearly that when the Northwest Army soldiers entered Zhejiang, they were like mice falling into the rice jar. They were so happy that they would run away all day long!

Dong Yikui and Dong Yiyuan went south to Zhejiang, bringing a total of seven or eight hundred soldiers. After these old men went south, they were unscrupulous and caused trouble everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that Hou Ruliang was rejected by the Zhejiang officialdom, which was due to this factor.

Hou Ruliang had a headache. He really didn't want to worry about these trashing things. Who knows where those Qiu Ba went? Although the southern people were weak in culture, the defeated Japanese soldiers were also Zhejiang soldiers, and even if they took the lead, they might not lose to the northern people.

"Yes, it's the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. They entered the city to watch the lantern market, but they disappeared..."

Dong Yiyuan was still explaining to Master Zhang. Wang Bengu, who was beside him, shrank his pupils and stepped forward and asked softly: "Go into the city to enjoy the lanterns and drink with you?"

"Uh..." Dong Yiyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. This was natural.

Qianjia Restaurant has very little purified high-liquid liquor. Because Shanxi merchants have mastered the northwest commerce, it is rare to see the frontier. On the contrary, Qian Yuan has been in the southeast for several years, and high-liquid liquor is not high in Zhejiang. Southeast people prefer yellow wine, while northwest people prefer high-liquid liquor. Those border troops entering the city and enjoying lanterns are second, and the main thing is to buy drunk.

Wang Bengu thought in his mind, "Can General Dong Shen know about the food garden?"

"Qian Longquan's food garden?" Dong Yiyuan's face turned cold, "Is it the Qian family's guards who did it?"

"I don't know very well, but..." Wang Bengu said expressionlessly: "I happened to arrive in Qiantang, Hangzhou on the Lantern Festival that day. I saw drunken men causing trouble in the downtown city. The Qiantang magistrate Hai Rui ordered the yamen runners to search, and the Qian family guards in the food garden were also present."

Well, Wang Bengu said these words in a vague way and did not lie, but the key places were all over the place. For example, the military man not only made trouble but also made fires and caused water to escape. For example, although the Qian family guards in the food garden were present, they only put out the fire and did not assist Hai Rui in searching for military man.

Hou Ruliang looked at Wang Bengu with a slanted look. This person had such a deep hatred for Qian Longquan, or was he assigned by his master?

Although he was not clear about the details, Hou Ruliang could clearly hear the incitement from these few sentences.

Is this kind of provocation useful?

Of course it is useful. Dong Yiyuan has already given a casual greeting, shouting and strode out. It seems that he is going to trouble Qiantang County Government.

On the one hand, Dong Yiyuan believed that without the assistance of the Qian family's guards, the constable would not be able to suppress more than a dozen military soldiers with the help of the Qiantang County yamen. Last year, Dong Yiyuan had a fight with Tang Shunzhi and Sun Ying, and dozens of Qian family's guards were present.

Dong Yiyuan was born in the garrison and was also a general. It can be seen that the elite guards of the Qian family were.

On the other hand, Dong Yiyuan is willing to believe it.

The Dong brothers were transferred to Zhejiang by Xu Jie, and the rebellion between Suiyuan and Xu Mansion had been rumored to be very popular the year before yesterday. Dong Yiyuan witnessed with his own eyes how Tang Shunzhi, Sun Ying and Zhao Dahe refused to get a share of the Dong family in trading.

Just as he was worried about not venting his anger... Dong Yiyuan couldn't help but think in his heart that if this matter could cause a lot of controversy and cause Zhang Yishan and Yang Wen to come forward, the eldest brother Dong Yikui, the general of Zhejiang, would have enough name to request him to be transferred.

That night, Wang Bengu, who settled in the backyard of the Governor's Office, received news that Dong Yiyuan went straight to Qiantang County and forced the magistrate Hai Rui to make a move... During the verbal dispute, Hai Rui scolded Dong Yiyuan so hard that he was terrified.

Dong Yiyuan was so angry that he led the National People's Congress to fight and wanted to snatch the person away... Now, four yamen runners were injured, two detectives broke their arms, while Hai Rui stood at the door of the cell with a sword.

Dong Yiyuan was also stunned and had never seen such an official.

It’s not a big deal that Dong Yiyuan is rare. Wang Bengu and Hou Ruliang were dumbfounded when they heard the servant’s report... Hai Rui’s sword was not facing outward, but inward.

As long as Dong Yiyuan dares to break through, he will stab him Hai Gangfeng... It is unlikely that suicide will be done, and self-harm is always possible.

A general who was in charge of the county government was introduced to the county government to rob the prisoner and forced the magistrate... A civil servant had to raise his sword to commit suicide. If this kind of thing was spread, even if Dong Yiyuan was drowned.

The key is not the background of both parties, but the identity of civil and military officials of both parties... Although Hai Rui is just a juren and has poor popularity, he is fame and fortune after all, and he is a serious civil servant after all.

"It's really amazing." Master Zhang shook his head in the study and sighed: "Hai Rui has a stern demeanor."

"It's useless." Hou Ruliang calmed down, "Dong Yiyuan is just a fool. If he wants to catch people, there is a way."

At this time, another servant came to report to Mr. Zhang. After a while, he came back. He looked at the lights that were still on not far outside the window. It was Wang Bengu's residence.

"What's the matter?"

"Dong Yiyuan led people to the food garden."

"Are you fighting?"

"Well, let's keep an eye on it and report it at any time."

"Don't care." Hou Ruliang explained expressionlessly, "Even if someone dies, don't care."

Master Zhang hesitated for a while and said softly: "Dongweng, I heard that Qian Longquan is quite protective of his shortcomings."
