Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 31
On the second day after Zhao Jun returned to the palace, news came back that most of the soldiers who had questioned at Nanyun Campus had returned to Yunzhou City early this morning.

And their real identities have also been checked clearly.

In the palace study.

Zhao Jun flipped through the secret report in his hand.

[Zhang Dazhuang: His real name (Liu Sanlai) is a member of the Nancheng Shenquan Club. He usually earns a living by collecting security fees in the streets occupied by the Shenquan Club. 】

[Liu Sanwu: His real name is (Martha) a member of the Sanshou Club in Xicheng. He makes a living by stealing on weekdays. Wrong, even if they didn't do it, it was done by someone related to them, the number one force in the world of stealing in Yunzhou City.

[Li Yongda: real name...

But all the information that Zhao Jun asked that day was recorded in the book. They have a common characteristic, that is, their names are all fake.

According to the information, they were all summoned to serve as temporary soldiers before the New Year's Eve at a high price of three taels of silver. They only learned some daily drills simply to fool Zhao Jun.

After carefully reading the information brochures one by one, Zhao Jun calmly put the brochures on the table, picked up the teacup, got up and walked to the window, sipping the tea in the cup while looking at the still white scenery outside the window.

Wang Huai'en began to gather up the booklet on the desk, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the information in the booklet. After finishing the booklet, he came behind Zhao Jun, who was silently enjoying the scenery and drinking tea, and asked softly:

"My lord, do you want to use Cheng Cheng to pretend to be soldiers and conceal the real number of soldiers to take down Cheng Cheng?"

Putting the teacup on the window edge casually, Zhao Jun didn't turn his head, let out a breath, and the breath instantly condensed into a white mist in the air, obviously the temperature outside was still not high.

"Do you think it's useful?"

Zhao Jun's voice sounded faintly.

"It should... be useful. This is nothing but empty pay. The imperial court has been poor in financial and taxation these years. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated by the imperial court."

After thinking about it, Wang Huai'en expressed his thoughts.

"That's right. In recent years, the imperial government's treasury revenue has been decreasing year by year. Coupled with the plagues in the past few years, the sudden disasters in various places in these years have caused the southern barbarians to continue to make troubles, the southeast is also troubled by the sea, and the northwest Huns have committed crimes year after year. On the other side, where do these piles not need money?
And the imperial court has long been in a state of distress due to insufficient money. If the incident of empty salary breaks out, normally speaking, the imperial court will definitely not let the process go.

However, this is normal. "

Zhao Jun paused, looking out of the window at the scenery where sporadic snowflakes were still falling one after another, stretched out his hand to catch one and let it melt in his hand, turning it into a puddle of snow water, feeling the coldness of the snowflakes melting into snow water falling on his hand touch.

Then he continued: "However, it has long been a common practice for the army in various places to eat empty salaries, and it has long been a practice to guard against the Xiongnu's border in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. Now, once this matter breaks out, the court will find it difficult to deal with it.

The military of the whole Song Dynasty will focus their attention. If the imperial court severely punishes them according to the law, although it is a shock to the army, it will also provoke the defense and dissatisfaction of the imperial court in the army. The meat in your mouth!

It remains to be seen whether those military leaders will still serve the imperial court wholeheartedly in the future.

If it is dealt with lightly, the imperial court will definitely lose its majesty. In today's situation where troops are needed everywhere, the military leaders will let go of their fear of the imperial court and despise it. Whether the imperial court can control the armies everywhere will depend on God's will. . "

Wang Huai'en was startled, and said in horror: "But this Cheng Cheng is just a military commander in Yunzhou County. Will it really cause such an uproar?"

"Wang Banban, do you know that the death of a rabbit and a fox is sad?" Zhao Jun asked suddenly.

Wang Huai'en's expression froze, and he immediately understood what his prince meant.

"Then should we let the process go like this? If you let him go, you won't be able to get the military power of Yunzhou County, my lord. This will always be a constraint for you, and it will also hinder what you want to do?"

The cold wind blew outside the window, and a gust of wind and snow suddenly blew into the study room along the open window, and the two people in the frozen room couldn't help shrinking their necks.

Wang Huai'en hurried forward to remove the teacup and close the window. The temperature in the room gradually recovered from the burning of the coal stove, and the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Jun walked slowly back to his desk, sat down on the chair, leaned his body back lightly, folded his hands behind his head, propped his head up and closed his eyes slightly, and after adjusting a comfortable posture, he replied:
"How can I let him go, the things he did are enough to cut him into pieces, whether it is from the king's personal needs or his status as the prince of the Song Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for the king to let him go he.

It's just that...we can't use the incident of eating empty pay to punish him, other crimes can still be used. "

"But my lord, we only have evidence of his crime in our hands now. Where else can we bring him down?" Wang Huai'en was puzzled.

Zhao Jun just smiled and asked back: "Wang Banban, do you know where the real identity information of these rogues pretending to be soldiers come from?"

"where?"

"It was compared one by one according to Ding Hubo of the Sheriff's Mansion!"

Wang Huai'en was shocked when he heard this.

"My lord, in this way, Cheng Cheng knows that we are investigating his emptiness? The county guard's mansion is now in power, the county magistrate Liu Xishan, and this fellow is the same as those four families and Cheng Cheng." ah!"

Facing Wang Huai'en's shock and confusion, Zhao Jun just smiled slightly: "Yes, he will definitely know."

"My lord, this is..."

Before Wang Huaien finished asking, Zhao Jun continued:

"But this king let him know, only in this way will he focus on how to deal with this king.

The only thing he can do now is to quickly ask Liu Xishan to help him transfer the household registration of these rascals to military registration before the king's attack, so as to deal with the king's attack.

But this is definitely not a small project, it needs a lot of time and a lot of manpower, so he doesn't have the time and manpower to help those four companies complete this year's transaction like in previous years, so that this king can securely deal with those four companies. The four decide.

And as long as those four companies are properly handled, in terms of the connection between the two of them..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun opened his eyes fiercely, and said coldly: "At that time, Cheng Cheng will be the fish on this king's chopping board, you can handle it however you want!"

It wasn't until this time that Wang Huai'en finally understood that the investigation of these fake soldiers was just a suspicious formation set up by the prince. What the prince really wanted to do was to repair the plank road and secretly hide Chen Cang, so as to directly draw the bottom of the snakes in Yunzhou County!
At the same time, Cheng Cheng, who just thought he had survived the catastrophe, received a letter from Liu Xishan, informing him of the fact that the rogues in the Prince Yun's Mansion investigated and found that he was empty-paid. In a cold sweat, he immediately rushed to the Sheriff's Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

After deliberation, the two agreed that the only solution for now is to transfer those hooligans who pretended to be soldiers to military status to confirm their military status.

As for the thoughts of those people who were converted from good civilian households to military households, and are they willing?This is beyond their consideration.

The left and right are just some untouchables, just obey their arrangements honestly, dare to have an opinion?They will naturally let these troublemakers know the consequences of resistance!
