Chapter 441: Punishing the Violent (2)
Guan Pingzhong's face turned pale. He had been in the army for 24 years and understood the military discipline. Li Yingfa's actions had already violated the military ban: wherever he went, abused the people and forced women to be raped. This is called a traitor army, and he should be executed according to the law. He had an impression of Li Yingfa. He was brave and heroic in combat. He was awarded the title of Zhaowu Captain (the sixth rank in the age of 30). He was a general with a bright future. He really didn't expect that when he arrived at the place, he was so bold. Guan Pingzhong felt heartbroken and regretted Li Yingfa. Therefore, Guan Pingzhong accelerated his pace and crossed Jiang Anyi, hoping to get into the house first and strive for some room for maneuver.
Kicking the half-closed door, Guan Pingzhong stepped into the house angrily. Several women in the house were dressed in disheveled, cried tremblingly, dodging and reaching out to their big hands. Several military men stood around with a lewd smile on their faces, and occasionally reached out to touch them and teased them. There were wine and food on the square table in the center, and two people were sitting on the left and right, looking at Li Yingfa, who was in the center of the left.
Guan Pingzhong kicked the door into the room, which scared everyone. Li Yingfa found that Guan Pingzhong was coming. He was so scared that the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and sat on the chair for a long time without getting up. The military men usually contacted Guan Pingzhong, and Guan Pingzhong was wearing ordinary people's clothes, but he did not recognize him and cursed him around him.
"I am Guan Pingzhong. Do you want to rebel?" Guan Pingzhong cursed. At this time, Jiang Anyi came to the door and stood at the door without going in. Guan Pingzhong's thoughts Jiang Anyi knew that the two of them got along well in normal times and wanted to sell this favor.
"Stop," Li Yingfa finally recovered, got up and stopped the Junhan, bowed respectfully and said, "General Guan, why are you here?"
Guan Pingzhong stepped forward to Li Yingfa, raised his hand and slapped him twice, cursing: "Li Yingfa, you are so brave, let you come to provide disaster relief. You have robbed your house and become a blessing in Lutong County. Do you know that you have violated military discipline and beheaded according to the law?"
Li Ying's face turned pale, sweat beads rolled down from his forehead, and he subconsciously glanced at the Zhenwu Captain Liu Weigang, who was beside him. If Liu Weigang hadn't said, "The general would not accept the orders from outside the army, Lu Tong County was more than 200 miles away from Huiye Mansion, and the army had made contributions to disaster relief, and a little enjoyment was nothing." How could he go further and further? It would be too late to say anything now.
Liu Weigang calmed down a little from the shock. He saw that there were only two people coming. In addition to Guan Pingzhong, there was another young man, probably Guan Pingzhong's entourage. He couldn't help but become brave. Pressing the knife, Liu Weigang smiled and said, "Why did General Guan Zheng come to Lu Tong County? Bei Zhi and others are in a hurry to welcome him. I hope the general will forgive him. General, Fenghan comes from the distance, please sit and drink two cups to get rid of the wind and cold." As he said, his eyes winked at the military man who was standing there, and signaled them to surround the gate.
Guan Pingzhong sneered: "Liu Weigang, Li Yingfa must have been bewitched by you. You haven't thrown away your weapons and follow me to the army."
Li Ying's face was ashamed, and he reached out and was about to take off the scimitar from his waist. Liu Weigang shouted: "General Li, be at ease. General Guan is all in the army's robes, so why should he do things too extreme? We already know our mistakes and dare not make any more mistakes. Please, General Guan can be a lighter one."
Guan Pingzhong said intently, Governor Jiang was watching from the side. I was about to speak, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to escape. I immediately said with a stern face: "The military discipline is strict and I don't want private affairs. If you have anything to say when you arrive at the camp."
Liu Weigang pulled out his knife and shouted at Li Ying, "Brother Li, General Guan is going to kill you and me, since
So, it’s better to fight to the death and kill him, and let’s take the brothers to another place.”
Li Yingfa held the knife handle in his hand, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face. Guan Pingzhong was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Li Yingfa, it doesn't matter if you are seeking death yourself, you won't be hindered by your family."
"Hehehehehehe", Liu Weigang let out a sinister smile and said, "Brother Li, even if you obey your orders and tie up, what will your family end up? Then you will not be separated from your wife and children. It is better for us to kill the Guan family. I know a secret way to go out of the frontier without going through the checkpoint. When you go outside the frontier with more than a thousand brothers, you may be a horse thief or surrender to the foreign countries, you will be free and easy, hundreds of times stronger than now."
After saying that, Liu Weigang slapped the steel knife at Guan Pingzhong, not letting everyone have time to think, and shouted: "Brothers, do it quickly."
The soldiers pulled out their waist knives and surrounded Guan Pingzhong. Guan Pingzhong drew out his sword and shouted, "Bold, seek death."
Li Yingfa gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist and shouted, "Fight quickly and decide quickly, kill General Guan, and let's go."
The fight started in the house, and more than ten soldiers rushed out of the wing rooms on both sides. Jiang Anyi couldn't just watch the fun, so he flashed into the house, and inserted it like a ghost in the gap between the sword and sword shadows, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Yingfa.
A flash of eyes, there was a young man in front of Li Yingfa. Before he could raise the knife, Jiang Anyi's hand pinched his throat like lightning and lifted him into the air. Jiang Anyi shouted, "Stop."
Everyone was stunned. The master general fell into the hands of others. How to fight this battle? Just now, with a sudden attack, Guan Pingzhong drew two holes on his body, took the opportunity to retreat to Jiang Anyi, and shouted: "I haven't lost my weapons yet. Do you really have to wait for the family to be confiscated?"
The newly invaded soldiers outside the house were unknown. Seeing that Li Zhengwei was raised in the air, his hands and legs were kicked around, he looked to the side and it turned out that General Guan was Guan. Someone lost his weapon under the accumulated power. Liu Weigang saw that it was not good. If Guan Pingzhong controlled the situation, he would not be able to escape the death penalty. He attacked Jiang Anyi with red eyes and shouted, "Save General Li quickly, there are only two of them, everyone will take action together. Anyway, it is a death penalty, so it is better to fight."
The soldiers who had taken action raised their swords again. Jiang Anyi shook his sleeves, rolled up a wine glass on the table, and smashed it at Liu Weigang's forehead. Liu Weigang's steel knife was raised and blocked his forehead. The wine glass was hitting the knife. To Liu Weigang's surprise, the small wine glass was like a heavy hammer, and it brought the steel knife to slap his face. With a crisp "pop", the steel knife was heavily stuck on his face. Liu Weigang's eyes turned black and fell to the ground.
The person who knew the goods exclaimed: "A master of the internal family."
When his hands were loosened, the weapons "clanged" and then they sounded in a string, and everyone fell to the ground.
Jiang Anyi loosened his hands, and Li Yingfa fell to the ground, gasping with his mouth open, his eyes full of despair.
Guan Pingzhong asked someone to tie Li Ying, Liu Weigang and several military men in the house, and asked someone to go to the military camp to deliver a letter. He didn't have much effort, and the sound of Jiaye sounded outside the house. Several generals entered the house. When they saw Guan Pingzhong sitting in the middle, they hurriedly bowed respectfully. Guan Pingzhong then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Anyi was not convenient to participate in military affairs, but Liu Weigang's words attracted Jiang Anyi's attention. The Yuantian Sect fled from the desert to Rongmi Kingdom. Is this Liu Wei Kingdom a member of the Yuantian Sect? Guan Pingzhong heard Jiang Anyi's words, so he tied Li Yingfa and Jiang Weigang in the wing room and waited for the Longwei to arrive before leaving.
Lu Tong
After receiving the letter from the county, officials from all over the county came to Cao's house to pay homage to the governor Jiang. Seeing that there were officers and soldiers holding guns and knives everywhere inside and outside Cao's house, they couldn't help but feel worried. When they entered the hall, they saw the governor Jiang who was as deep as water. An ominous premonition passed by everyone's hearts.
The mentality of luck was broken by Jiang Anyi's words. The officials of all sizes in Lutong County knelt down and begged for mercy. Jiang Anyi really wanted to behead all these corrupt officials, but disaster relief cannot be managed without officials.
"Let's record your crimes for the time being. I will allow you to make meritorious contributions and make up for your mistakes. If anyone dares to continue to do evil, then the crime will be punished. The court has already made a clear order to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates in disaster relief, and have a full personal pocket. If the public is extremely angry, the court will allow me to be executed first and then report." Jiang Anyi sacrificed the Shangfang sword given by the court.
The forehead of Zhao Zhongyou, the magistrate of Lutong County, had already been bruised on his forehead. When he heard the words of the governor Jiang, he hurriedly said, "Mr. I will do my best to atone for my sins. In addition to returning the stolen silver, I will also offer my official salary and contribute my little efforts to disaster relief. I will also persuade my colleagues to join the rich families in the county to participate in the grand ceremony and will definitely make up for my merits."
In the next few days, Longwei also found a number of cases of embezzlement of disaster relief money and grain in various places. Compared to Jiang Anyi's mercilessness, Longwei's knife was blood-seeking, and he killed six yamen runners, arrested two chief clerks, the current county magistrate and Luqiu County magistrate, cleared out a group of tiny officials who took the opportunity to fill their pockets, and also searched three grain merchants who took the opportunity to raise their grain prices.
Jiang Anyi sent these cases to the affected counties through official documents. Many people were scared and took back their unscrupulous hands and secretly returned the embezzled stolen silver. Of course, some people believed that they were clever and would not be discovered. They continued to attack the white disaster relief silver with fearlessness.
In Jingyuan County, the main roads are already clear, and some anxious merchants are preparing to go from Jiyun Pass to the Western Regions with their goods. However, no one clears the snow outside Jiyun Pass, and several caravans who risk their departure are forced to return. Therefore, the inns in Jingyuan County are full of inns, so it is really not easy to find a quiet place to live.
Xu Minghua entered Jingyuan County when the road was just unblocked. As the Censorate Observer of the Northwest Prefectures, when he heard that the snow disaster in the northwest counties of Huazhou was hit, he realized that his chance to make contributions had come. He and Jiang Anyi were in the same year, both of which were in the ninth year of Fengle, but Jiang Anyi was the top scorer and he was the seventh in the second place. That year, Xu Minghua was twenty-one years old.
He was selected to serve as the county magistrate of Li'an County, Hengzhou. In the 13th year, Fengle returned to Beijing and served as the recorder of the eighth rank. In the 15th year, Fengle served as the Northwest Observer, supervising the disciplines and prisons of the six states in the northwest. Some officials were given the title of high position and low power, and the Observer of the Censor was one of them.
In the same year, Xu Minghua, who was born in Zhangyi Academy, was naturally dissatisfied with him. In his opinion, Jiang Anyi was a lucky minister. After joining the emperor's fate, his career made rapid progress. In the Beijing meeting with Zhangyi, everyone couldn't help but talk about Jiang Anyi of Zechang Academy. They all sighed that Zechang Academy had Jiang Anyi, and they would be the one end of Zhangyi Academy in the next twenty years. Xu Minghua, who had once been one of the four shows of Zhangyi Academy, secretly encouraged him, why could not, Xu Minghua, who could do what Jiang Anyi could do.
