Chapter 699
"The Ministry of Punishment has sent a letter saying that it suspects that you killed a head catcher named Zong Feixiao."
It was raining heavily, and in the Guangyang County Prince's Mansion, from the open window, one could see the trees in the courtyard outside turning into a dark green under the heavy rain. Tong Guan said this sentence lightly in the room.
"I heard about it." Ning Yi replied on the opposite side, "It has nothing to do with me at this time."
"I don't think it has anything to do with you." Tong Guan said, "Earlier I said that this person is old with you, which almost caused your wife to have an accident, but later your wife is safe and sound, even if you have resentment in your heart and want to take revenge, choose this time, It’s really going to make this king disappointed in you. The people in the Ministry of Punishment are not sure about this, but it’s nothing more than knocking mountains and shaking tigers, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
After Tong Guan finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the table: "The king of Ben called you here today because he has another important matter to discuss with you."
"My lord please tell me."
"Wu Ruiying." Tong Guan said, "It's time to move."
"This is military affairs..." Ning Yi said.
"This king knows that this is a military matter, so you don't have to be sloppy with this king. During the battle in Xiacun, you were in the Wurui camp. I know that you were the one who did the logistical planning in the army. You have some prestige. "
Ning Yi's face remained unchanged: "But my lord, this is military affairs after all."
"You know how to measure." Tong Guan smiled, but this time he was a little appreciative, "However, since my king asked you to come here, I have thought about it before. It would be better for you to come out a little bit. , you don’t have to hide too much.”
"Yes." Ning Yi nodded, and there was no joy or anger in his words, "I don't know what the prince wants to do."
"You don't have to worry, just start from a small place." Tong Guan said, "To be honest, it is very rare for Wu Ruiying to be able to fight. In the past six months, whether it is Your Majesty, me, or the princes in the court, all I don't want to mess with it. You see, the other armies outside the capital are now going to the Yellow River to enclose territory. Only the Wurui Battalion is still here to practice and repair. What I want is the Wurui Battalion. I don’t want to dismantle him casually and make him just like other troops.”
The tall and dignified Wang with a different surname paused at the desk: "You also know that recently, this king not only cares about Wu Ruiying, but also treats Li Bingwen very strictly. Habit, this king forbids him to bring it in. It is similar to vain expansion, creating circles, and forming cliques. This king has warned him. It is not easy for him to do it, and he is trembling. However, his prestige in the army may not be enough. In the past few days, several generals in the army were eccentric, which gave him some anger. But there are also many problems in the army. People fight for fans, fight with weapons in private, and the one who fights with him is the son of an idle prince's family, and now, the matter is also brought to this king."
"Your Highness means..."
"Things in the army are handled by the army. He Zhicheng is a rare general, but he also has problems. Li Bingwen wants to deal with him and beat him with a military stick in public. I am not afraid of their retaliation, but you are familiar with them. Master Tan suggested , During the recent period, if there are major changes to Wu Ruiying, you can go and follow them. My king will also send someone to you. You have seen him in the mansion. He has been with me for many years and handles business. He is very capable, and you can ask him to do some things that are inconvenient for you.”
There was a little smile on Tong Guan's face, while talking, he looked at Ning Yi's expression.But Ning Yi didn't show any hesitation on his face, and he agreed: "Yes."
"Specific arrangements, Shen Zhong will tell you."
Ning Yi answered yes again, and then saw that Tong Guan had nothing else to do, so he left.But just before going out, Tong Guan spoke from behind: "Li Heng."
"Yes." Ning Yi turned around.
Tong Guan sat behind the desk and glanced at him: "In the prince's mansion, it is different from the prime minister's mansion. I was born as a military general, and most of the people under my command are from the army. I am very pragmatic. I can't come from the prime minister's mansion just because of you. I will give you a high position. If you do something, everyone will give you corresponding status and respect. You are a person who can do things. This king believes in you and takes good care of you. This is good in the army. As long as you If you do what you need to do, everything else doesn’t matter.”
As he spoke, he threw the official document sent by the Ministry of Punishment into the trash can next to him.
Ning Yi looked at the movement, nodded, and Tong Guan smiled: "Go."
After Ning Yi left, Tong Guan restrained his smile, sat on the chair, and shook his head slightly.
Although he used to attach great importance to the things left by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after he really entered his own mansion, he still had to do it step by step.This small businessman has done a lot of things before, and that is because he has the resources of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion behind him. He represents Qin Yuyuan's will, just like his subordinates, who have many aides. Given power, they can do great things. .But no matter who they are, the team still has to be lined up, otherwise how will they explain to others.
Since the other party came here, they should also have such mental preparations. When entering their own circle, they must be suppressed first, and their arrogance must be removed. If they cannot experience this, they will be useless.Tan Zhen has been targeting him because he thinks too highly of him.But now it seems that this young man is quite sensible, if he spends a few years working on it, he might consider using him.
This is also a necessary process for everyone. If this person is not like this, it is basically challenging his authority and patience.But sitting in this seat for so many years, seeing these people look like this after all, he is also somewhat disappointed. Some people, far away, seem to have done a lot of things, but they are actually the same when they are close.People who come out of the Qin residence are no different from others after all.
The rain was still falling, and Ning Yi passed through the slightly dark corridor. When several staff members in the palace came over, he gave way slightly to the side, but the other party didn't pay much attention to him.
In the palace, his seat is not high - in fact, he was basically not accommodated.Today's matter, it is said to let him do things, but the actual meaning is simple.
Li Bingwen wants to deal with He Zhicheng and let himself show up in the past. In a sense, it is equivalent to a person being a traitor, and then the imperial army asked him to talk to the villagers. It is both self-defilement and separation.This may be because Tong Guan thinks that he has some relationship and status in the Wu Rui camp, and it is impossible for him to tolerate his influence in the Wu Rui camp. of.
Compared with what Qin Yuyuan and others experienced before their death, this is nothing.
Not long after, he went to meet Na Zhong, who was rather arrogant, and said a few words of admonition to him.Since Li Bingwen's action against He Zhicheng will be tomorrow, the two of them don't have to get along with each other all day.After leaving the palace, Ning Yi asked someone to prepare some gifts, entrusted his relationship at night, and braved the rain, and sent them to Zhong Chong on a special trip. He knew the situation in the other party's home, had wives, children and concubines, so he specially sent some gifts. Powder, perfume, etc. These things are all high-end goods at the moment, and Ning Yituo's relationship is also a considerable warrior, so he shirked it heavily and finally accepted it.
When we met again the next day, Shen Zhong's face to Ning Yi was still cold, and he warned a few words, but he didn't mean to make things difficult inside.This morning they came to Wurui Camp, and the incident about He Zhicheng had just started. At this time, there were five generals in Wurui Camp, namely Liu Chengzong, Pang Liu'an, Li Yi, Sun Ye, and He Zhicheng.Although these five people originally came from different teams, after the battle of Xiacun, Wu Ruiying was not split up immediately, and the relationship between everyone is still very good. When they saw Ning Yi coming, they all wanted to talk about things, but they saw a After the guards of the palace were dressed heavily, they all hesitated.
I chatted with several people one by one, not daring to say anything sensitive.Li Bingwen's personal guards passed through the barracks and captured He Zhicheng. Li Bingwen assembled the army and decided the case in public. They wanted to beat him with military sticks. Sun Ye and others protested, but Li Bingwen had made up his mind.Many people in the army secretly looked at Ning Yi, but Ning Yi stood beside him without saying a word.
If Li Bingwen wanted to deal with He Zhicheng in normal times, it might really cause trouble. However, Ning Yi stood by, and no one in the Wurui camp dared to attack. Many people were just confused. Some people in Zhongcai began to whisper, and the gaze towards Ning Yi also changed a little.
Li Bingwen knew that Ning Yi had some sense of presence in the camp before, but he didn't know to what extent - if it was really clear, he might have to kill Ning Yi immediately - when He Zhicheng was beaten, the army formation Whispers sounded in the middle, and he glanced at Ning Yi who was standing next to him, feeling a little proud in his heart.Of course he doesn't like Ning Yi, but at this moment he understands that letting Ning Yi stand aside is actually similar to the feeling of the Right Prime Minister Qin Yuyuan being thrown feces.
Complacent in his heart, he naturally looked solemn on the surface, and when the baton was almost finished, he shouted loudly on the stage: "Everyone is quiet! What are you talking about!"
The army became a little quieter.
He Zhicheng suffered the baton in public, his back and buttocks were already covered in blood.After the disbandment of the army formation, Li Bingwen and Ning Yi smiled and said a few words - he didn't dare to do anything more, the cavalry team of Luliang Mountain not far away was watching him, the small and medium generals or Han Jing This kind of boss is nothing more than that, the head of the big boss named Lu Hongti looked at him coldly, which made him shudder, but the other party didn't come over to say anything after all.
Leaving the gate of Wurui Camp and looking back at the barracks, some soldiers were still looking over here, and many of them must have been discussing or abusing in private.Turning around, Shen Shen's expression on him was much better, and he smiled slightly. Today's task was completed well, and he also admired Ning Yi's way. Giving and receiving gifts is one thing, the most important thing What's more, Ning Yi not only gave gifts, but he didn't say anything messy to other people in the barracks today. This is a sensible person. If he wants to keep some good relations in the barracks right now, he will die. Got it.
A group of people turned back to Bianliang City, and when they were out of sight in the barracks, Ning Yi asked Zhu Biao, who was accompanying him, to bring a box: "As the saying goes, treasured swords are given to heroes. One of the best masters, my brother found a treasured sword a few days ago, and I would like to invite Brother Shen to taste it."
Warriors are fond of weapons, so Shen Chong took out the long knife to play with it, and praised it a little, and when the two parted at the gate of the city, the treasured sword was already quietly lying on Shen Chong's carriage.
Yesterday was heavy rain, today is sunny, Ning Yi raised his head on horseback and narrowed his eyes slightly.People from behind approached.Zhong Zhong is the leader of the guards of the palace. He looks down on Ning Yi's guards, and naturally he is a bit bossy. Everyone didn't show any emotions, and only waited for him to leave. Spit.
As for He Zhicheng's matter, Ning Yi knew it last night. The other party had collected some money in private. The fight with a prince's guard was due to the discussion of Qin Shaoqian's problem and a quarrel... But of course, these Things can't be said.
Now that Tong Guan has already started to attack Wu Ruiying, from the shallower to the deeper, there will be many things like this and being criticized on stage. It's just that it's one thing to understand that what really happened may not cause melancholy.Ning Yi just had no expression on his face. When he was about to enter the city, a Zhuji guard was rushing out of the city. When he saw Ning Yi and others, he rode over and whispered a word in Ning Yi's ear.
There were no waves in Ning Yi's eyes, and he nodded slightly.
It was just an ordinary news that a batch of goods had arrived, even if others heard it, there would be no disturbance.He is a businessman after all.
Following the bustling crowd of people entering the city, the horse team passed towards the city gate, and the sun poured down.Not far away, another figure sitting by the city gate came over. It was a blue-shirted scholar in his 30s, thin and solitary, looking a bit shabby. Ning Yi got off his horse and walked towards him.
"Brother Cheng, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
The person who came was Cheng Zhouhai, and he also bowed his hands at this time.
"I heard that you went to Wurui Camp. I wanted to find you, but I was tired after walking to the city gate, so I rested first."
"It's almost noon, do you want something to eat?"
"Alright."
Cheng Zhouhai readily agreed, and the two went into the city and sat down in a nice restaurant nearby.Cheng Zhouhai survived from Taiyuan, and when he came back, he met Qin Yuyuan's case. He was injured all over and was lucky not to be involved, but after Qin Yuyuan was demoted to death, he was a little disheartened and faded out of the previous circle.The relationship between Ning Yi and him was not very close. After Qin Yuyuan's funeral, Wen Renbuer left the capital in despair. Ning Yi and Cheng Zhouhai never saw each other again. Unexpectedly, he would deliberately come to him today.
After ordering the dishes, Ning Yi poured him a cup of tea: "Brother Cheng, is there something for you?"
"There is something I want to ask Liheng."
"Brother Cheng, please tell me."
Ning Yi raised his hand with a smile, and then, Cheng Zhouhai also raised his head on the opposite side.
"I want to ask, Li Heng, what exactly do you want to do?"
After returning from Taiyuan, his emotions were either sad, indignant or depressed, but what was reflected in his eyes at this time was clear and sharp.When he was in the prime minister's mansion, he used aggressive tactics, saying that he was a counselor, and he was closer to a poisonous man. At this moment, he finally looked like he was then.
Ning Yi folded his hands, his smile didn't change, he only narrowed his eyes slightly...
