Enter the Room

The visitor was a strong man in his forties, with an unshaven beard and a tired face.

He knelt down in front of Yuan Yunzhong with a "plop", and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Sir, please save our inspection envoy? He, he took other people from the inspection department into the Bixia Temple The grain depot is now blocked in Bixia Temple..."

"What?!" Before he could say anything, Mr. Bai, who was pretending not to hear what was going on outside the window, opened his eyes. Mr. Xiang, who had nothing to do with him, jumped up. Even the calm and calm Yuan Yunzhong had a look of astonishment on his face.

It actually startled the visitor.

He glanced at the adults in front of him fearfully and said: "As soon as our inspector heard that some refugees took the lead in making trouble and rushed into the Wanping County government office, he was worried that these refugees would force the monks of Bixia Temple to open a warehouse and rob them. Liang, left me waiting for you adults in the Inspection Department, and I took the people who inspected the Yamen to Bixia Temple."

Master Bai's face was as gloomy as the rolling dark clouds, and he roared: "Then why didn't he come to repay me before?"

The visitor didn't know who he was and didn't dare to answer.

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Yuan Yunzhong's mouth, and he said: "This is Mr. Bai, the Minister of War."

The visitor's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yuan Yunzhong saw it and said, "Looking at you, you must be a patrolman from the Inspection Department, right?"

The Inspection Department has an inspection envoy and a deputy inspection envoy. The inspection envoy is the ninth grade, and the deputy inspection envoy is the ninth grade. Then there are the shabby paperwork and police patrols. But even if they were low-level clerks and patrol officers, they were still government officials recognized by the imperial court. However, those patrol officers who assist the patrols are appointed by each patrol envoy or deputy patrol envoy, and can be appointed or dismissed at any time.

The visitor lowered his head humbly and whispered "yes".

Yuan Yunzhong said: "You will follow me later. If you want to go back to the inspection department after I rescue your inspection envoy, I will tell your inspection envoy and promote you to patrol. If you don't want to go back to the inspection department." Si, you can choose between the Wanping Guards and the Twelve Shang Guards, and I will recommend them to you."

That is to say, take the formal path and become a small official.

Moreover, low-level officials like them can take over in places like the Inspection Department.

For someone of his age and qualifications, it can be said that he jumped over the dragon's gate and reached the sky in one step.

The visitor was overjoyed and kowtowed to Yuan Yunzhong repeatedly to express his thanks.

Naturally, he was no longer afraid of Lord Bai, and said: "Our inspector came to see Lord Bai before, but he was kicked out without even seeing Lord Bai's face. Later, after asking about it, I found out that Lord Bai wanted to suppress bandits. . Our inspection envoy sighed for a few times, but still took people to Bixia Temple. However, when he left, he told me that if the court sent someone to come to the inspection department to ask about Wanping County, he would Let me tell you the news about him. If you don't ask, just let me collect the body for the people from the inspection department to prove that they did not collude with those refugees."

Master Bai's face turned pale.

Everyone else in the meeting hall had complicated expressions.

Yuan Yunzhong laughed angrily, raised his eyebrows after a while, and asked Commander Chen loudly: "Is it possible to defend the two granaries in Wanping County?"

Commander Chen puffed up his chest and said in a loud and authentic voice: "I will definitely live up to your trust. I will be there in the granary!"

Mr. Shi was also excited and said repeatedly: "I will advance and retreat together with Mr. Chen!"

Yuan Yunzhong nodded, Commander Chen and Master Shi left the meeting hall and ordered their troops to go.

He and Lord Xiang and others began to make arrangements to attack Wanping County Government and Shijingshan. In the end, it was decided that Mr. Xiang would take charge of the overall situation here, Wanping County would be in charge of Commander Wang, and Shijingshan would be in charge of Yuan Yunzhong.

Master Bai was very surprised. He glanced at Yuan Yunzhong, and his expression no longer looked as arrogant as before.

Lord Xiang was very worried and said, "I think it's better for me to attack Shijingshan? I used to patrol Jiubian and fought several battles."

Even if he is unable to attack for a long time, there are so many guard posts near the capital, and he will never leave without rescuing them. But Yuan Yunzhong is Yuan Haoran's only son and the emperor's favorite. If something happens to him, the emperor will not spare him even if the Yuan family spares him.

Yuan Yunzhong's attitude was very firm and he said: "That Zhao Laowu may be an acquaintance. I'd better go and meet him in person. He probably doesn't know about Prince Ning's death yet."

Everyone was surprised.

Yuan Yunzhong strode out: "This matter has been decided. Since the emperor has asked me to handle this matter, you should fully cooperate."

He sighed secretly in his heart, knowing why Mr. Xiang said this, and he could understand why Mr. Xiang did this, but he was still a little upset in his heart.

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Now that he has Song Jiyun, he has to think about his family. He should not let others have such a dilemma in the future.

He mounted his horse and headed to Shijingshan with several guards sent by his grandfather.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Guangzeng sneaking behind the few captains who stayed here, obviously fearing that he would be in danger if he followed him to Shijingshan.

Yuan Yunzhong snorted coldly, ignored him, and took people to Shijingshan.

*

Shijingshan is a relatively large mountain nearby. It is slow but densely forested, and few people go deep into it. This makes the road to Bixia Temple in the mountains and forests difficult to walk although there are many.

Yuan Yunzhong thought that he should try his best to persuade these refugees to register and become good citizens. If they escaped into the dense forest of Shijingshan, they would open up wasteland and farm in the forest when the weather was good. When the harvest was bad, they would definitely If they go out to cause trouble, the people of Wanping County will suffer. And Wanping County is so close to the capital, which means that Shuntian Prefecture will not be peaceful either.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he approached Shijingshan, thick smoke billowed out of Shijingshan, mixed with the cries of women and children.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked the scouts to inquire.

Soon the scouts replied: "It is said that the monks of Bixia Temple did not allow the refugees to enter the temple. After a stalemate for several days, the refugees wanted to attack the temple by force. The monks in the temple set the temple on fire. Even if it was burned, they would not be allowed to enter the temple." Leave it to these refugees.”

Yuan Yunzhong shouted "Oops", and with a stern face ordered the captain who was previously responsible for rescuing the people from the inspection department: "You must act according to the plan. If you are alive, you will see the person, and if you die, you will see the body."

He is preparing to round up those refugees who may be wandering around here.

Everyone respectfully responded "yes".

Some people entered the dense forest, some began to ambush in the fortress, and some began to set up camp.

Yuan Yunzhong felt that these refugees would be hungry for a few days before they understood their situation.

The next day, Commander Chen, who had captured the Wanping County Government Office, came to see Yuan Yunzhong with the heads of Yizi and several others: "Fortunately, I have lived up to my command and put down the civil uprising in Wanping County and killed two ruthless bandits. Eighteen. The rest were all imprisoned."

This is a great military achievement.

He grinned happily and said to Yuan Yunzhong: "Both granaries are fine."

Then he sighed: "What a bunch of illiterate people. The county government documents clearly stated the location of the two granaries. Even the keys to the granaries were hung on the walls of the houses, but they didn't even look at them. Not only did he look at the documents, but he also killed almost all the government servants and grabbed food from wealthy families without even knowing there were two granaries."
