Yanmenchun

Chapter 272
It was just dawn, and the chill in the air could almost freeze your breath. The soldiers were already practicing on the school grounds, and Jiang Lan and Wang Yan stood aside to watch the lieutenant general conduct the training.

Wang Yan lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lord, it's freezing cold, why don't you sit in the tent?"

Jiang Lan nodded, and as soon as he left, a soldier not far away gave a light snort.

The soldiers practiced for almost an hour before stopping to rest for a while.

As soon as the lieutenant general left, the soldier said: "Young master, who is well-clothed and well-fed, has come to the battlefield. He can't even blow the wind, and he still wants to be the commander-in-chief!"

The faces of the soldiers next to him were not good-looking, but none of them spoke, and he wanted to say more. Another soldier said: "Say a few words, don't embarrass the general."

The unconvinced soldier said: "Why is it so embarrassing, he is not enjoying the blessings in the capital city, his sword has no eyes, what is he doing on the battlefield?"

These words can be regarded as expressing the hearts of several people, another soldier said: "The food has improved a lot this year since King Yan came, and he has not won the seal of commander. Although it is annoying, the general can't find a reason to expel him."

A soldier next to him said: "I'm afraid I came here to put on a show, to see how many victories we have won, and to return to Beijing to claim credit for your Majesty!"

Everyone began to discuss around this place, satirizing King Yan's fate, but few people said anything else. The very unconvinced soldier just now said: "I'm afraid he wants to control Mobei. He is too young to control himself. Something will happen in the future." Maybe His Majesty will blame us!"

A few people were a little angry when they heard this.

Shen Tuchan was there when Hu Dao told Jiang Lan about it.

"This soldier's name is Zhang Fu, and his resume is nothing special. He is from Mobei. A younger sister married a former groom of the magistrate's mansion, but that happened a long time ago. This groom was seven or eight years ago. I won’t work in the magistrate’s office anymore.”

Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows: "You mean seven or eight years ago? When my father died in battle?"

Hu Dao nodded and said: "Yes, at that time, he survived that battle, but his sister was already dead."

Jiang Lan's eyes fell on the charcoal basin in the house, and the fire reflected into his eyes: "The news from Liu Zhi County was passed to him, it should be he who passed the news to the Xiongnu, but didn't his sister die in the In the hands of the Huns? Why? How did he pass the news?"

Having said that, Hu Dao hurriedly added: "Your Highness, he didn't die at the hands of the Huns, but at the hands of the groom. The groom made a mistake and was whipped. When he returned, he accidentally beat his wife to death. Zhang Fuyi When it came to Liu Zhi County, Liu Zhi County didn't take care of it at all, and Wang Yan had just been transferred at that time, so he didn't have time to take care of it, so let it go."

This actually doesn't make sense, so why did Liuzhi County send the news to Zhang Fu?
Shen Tuchan asked back: "Is there something in Liuzhi County on Zhang's handrail?"

This seems to be the most likely thing, Zhang Fu betrayed Da Jin because of his sister, and used Liuzhi County's handle to pass a few words of news to the Xiongnu.

Seeing the cold eyes of the two masters, Hu Dao whispered, "Do you want to arrest Zhang Fu and torture him?"

This time Jiang Lan didn't let Shen Tuchan answer, he shook his head and said: "The Xiongnu tried it last time, I don't know if there will be a sudden war in the next few days, don't worry about Zhang Fu, arrest Liu Zhixian first."

Capture the thief first, capture the king first, Zhang Fu is just a small soldier, and one of his younger sisters died long ago, Hu Dao can watch him alone, and kill him on the spot if there is anything wrong, besides, if he is dead, it is easy to scare the snake, but Liuzhi County is an official , He dared to collude with the Xiongnu to punish the nine tribes.

Hu Dao responded, "Where is His Highness going to interrogate him?"

Jiang Lan's eyes showed a fierce look: "Naturally, it is the prefect's mansion. Zhao Xuanzhi's subordinates have such a person, and he cannot escape the blame."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Take the prince's order, contact Hanzhong and the Sichuan and Shu garrison, and be ready to fight at any time. I want to see how many mice there are in Mobei!"

Tuchan didn't speak until Hu Dao went out to apply.

Jiang Lan walked over and was about to speak when Shen Tuchan looked up at him and said, "Zhang Fu must die."

Zhang Fu wanted revenge, and Shentuchan also wanted revenge, but the tens of thousands of people in Mobei did not feel sorry for Zhang Fu, no one was responsible for Zhang Fu, the one who needed to be responsible for him was the court of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor in the temple.

Shentu Danlin has sent a letter.

The matter of gunpowder has a clue, there are many people in the capital city, and it is too dangerous to wantonly manufacture this thing, he wants to come to Mobei.

It has been a while since the letter was sent, so Shentu Danlin should already be on his way.

Shen Tuchan did not accompany Jiang Lan to interrogate Liuzhi County, she was going to find a safe place for Shentu Danlin to make artillery.

When Zhao Xuanzhi knew that Liuzhi County was collaborating with the enemy, he was almost scared out of his wits. He guarded Mobei conscientiously, for fear that there would be a mistake in this fortress. a traitor.

Hu Dao and the others arrested Zhixian Liu at night, and only Mrs. Liu, who was on the same bed as him, knew that Mrs. Liu didn't dare to tell the outside world, only that the county magistrate was ill and had to rest for a few days.

At the beginning, Liuzhi County was still making a fuss, going to sue the imperial court, and going to the capital city to beat the Dengwen drum.

Jiang Lan ignored him, Zhao Xuanzhi already knew about Zhang Fu, and now Jiang Lan was looking at him coldly, obviously giving him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Zhixian came over, he said: "I already know about Zhang Fu, why did you betray Da Jin?"

When he said Zhang Fu's name, Liu Zhixian stopped being stubborn, and immediately cried more sadly than a dead old lady, and crawled to crawl to Jiang Lan's side: "Your Highness, this humble minister did not betray Da Jin! Your Highness has learned a lesson!"

Jiang Lan's eyes were as cold as the winter in Mobei: "Do you want to bargain?"

Liuzhi County suddenly seemed like a duck that was choked by the neck. Zhao Xuanshang kicked the former colleague and said, "Your Highness is still sophistrying in front of you. Are you a member of the Nine Clans? Hurry up!"

He was doing it for the good of Liuzhi County, and if he didn't recruit, he would be punished.

Liuzhi County naturally knew how Mo Bei treated the prisoners, and said with snot and tears: "It was Zhang Fu who set the trap for this minister! Your Highness! Four years ago, Zhang Fu used a dancer to confuse the minister, and the minister thought she was pitiful at the time." , and took her as the outer room, who knew that she disappeared when she was seven or eight months pregnant, and the officials could not find her anywhere. After about two months, Zhang Fu came out and said that the dancer girl was a Hun, and the Hun girl He has also given birth to Weichen's son, and that child is in his hands, as long as he sues the imperial court of Jin, the Liu family will not only punish the nine clans, but also become sinners in Mobei!"

All this came to light, Zhang Fu's sister died indirectly because of Liu Zhixian, Zhang Fu hated them, and he wanted Liu Zhixian to pay the price.
