Chapter 721 Disposal

In this era, there were many fathers and sons, brothers and even fathers-in-law and sons-in-law fighting together.

Therefore, the 134 mansions that had just been seized included almost all the generals of the Central Army Corps at the rank of captain and above.

"Your Highness," Guan Yi asked cautiously, "How should we deal with so many people?"

"You have to ask me this?" Ren Ning was very annoyed. "You are the Minister of War, don't you have the Military Code in your hands?"

"Since these people have violated military discipline and the evidence is irrefutable, they will all be dealt with according to military law."

Guan Yi shrank his head, secretly not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Of course that's not what he was asking.

Ren Ning saw it and sighed, "If something like this happens again in the future, I will only hold the army generals or the generals guarding the pass accountable. The others will be tried and dealt with by the Ministry of War and the Dali Temple in accordance with the Military Code."

Guan Yi was refreshed and let out a long breath.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I know what to do now."

Ren Ning ignored him and frowned.

"Little Li," he looked at the young eunuch beside him, "Where are the people from the Dali Temple? Aren't they still asleep?"

The entire Xingji City was in chaos at this time, and he didn't believe that the Dali Temple, as the highest court, had not heard about it.

However, after such a long time, the Dali Temple Minister has not come yet.

I really don’t know what to say.

cough.

Du Ziming coughed lightly.

He took a slight step forward.

"Your Highness, the Dali Temple Minister Zhu Heng and the Junior Minister Mo Weiqi both have children enlisting in the Central Army Corps..."

At this time, both governments were involved and were also detained by the Jinlin Guards.

Little Leo reacted very quickly and searched through the information that Fang Yinbao brought back.

The situation of the children of the Zhu and Mo families was quickly found and sent to the master.

Ren Ning read ten lines at a glance and scanned them quickly.

He didn't know what was written on it, but after reading it, his face became even gloomier.

"very good."

Unconsciously, Ren Ning's voice was filled with murderous intent.

"I have heard that the Central Army Corps is close to Xingji City and is the best place for the children of the city's wealthy families to gild themselves and make money."

"I didn't quite believe it before, but now it seems to be true."

"The civil and military collusion leads to the following of the superiors!"

  boom!

He suddenly slammed his fist on the table in front of him, shocking everyone.

"Guan Yi, Du Ziming, and Zou Dahe!"

"I'm here." The three people from Guanyi quickly stood up.

"Take your Military Code, Jinlin Guards and Imperial Guards will assist you. No matter who is involved in this case, we will investigate it thoroughly."

"If there is resistance, kill without mercy."

"As you wish." The three of them responded quickly without caring about their pounding hearts.

After a while, the meeting finally ended and the ministers left.

Ren Ning had seen everything and had already calmed down.

As soon as I turned into the lounge, I saw a person sitting upright inside.

It was Lei Er.

The Lei Er in front of him was completely different from his usual nonchalant appearance. Not only did he sit up straight, he even kept his mouth tightly closed.

"What's with this outfit?" Ren Ning looked a little strange. "My wife is about to give birth, right? If you have time, why don't you stay at home with her instead of coming to my place?"

Lei Er didn't answer, but stared at Ren Ning.

"Your Highness, the people being dealt with outside are all scum from the Central Army, right?"

Ren Ning nodded and poured him a cup of tea.

He and Lei Er were very familiar with each other, so he naturally knew what the other meant.

"You mean the North Customs?"

At that time, Genjing Zhengren captured Beihai Pass in one day, which was known to everyone in Yunchui and outside the city, and the empire lost face. Afterwards, Emperor Changxing was furious, but he did nothing except asking the army to retake the border as soon as possible.

Finally, it was not until Princess Yi Guang came to the palace to force him to do so that he ordered the raid on Huang Shitao's general's mansion.

As for the other generals, whether they were alive or dead, they were just lifted up heavily and put down lightly.

Although Lei Er didn't say anything, he was already very angry about this.

"Your Highness, I just think that all the scum of the empire, whether they are from the Central Army or somewhere else, should be severely punished."

"You're right." Ren Ning nodded in agreement.

It’s just that Beihai Pass was lost so quickly that almost no military supervisors from the Ministry of War escaped.

Therefore, he did not have much evidence to prove which generals were good or bad.

"Don't worry." Ren Ning patted Lei Er's shoulder comfortingly, "We will punish those who are corrupt and break the law severely."

No matter how much silver they had eaten or taken from the court, they had to spit it out tenfold or a hundredfold.

"However, we must also carefully distinguish those generals who are loyal to the country, and give important positions to those who are still alive, and give generous compensation to those who are dead."

After saying that, Ren Ning raised his head and looked towards the direction of Huayang County.

"Now that the battle situation in Huayang County has been decided, Xia Bang is almost ready to set off northward."

Once he arrives at Beihai Customs, he will conduct a thorough investigation with Ren Ning's instructions.

Once conclusive evidence is sent back, the families behind those scums can be held accountable at any time.

"Make sure none of them can escape."

Lei Er nodded, but his expression remained grim.

"Your Highness is right, but it's been so long, and the Beihai Pass has been renovated several times by Geni Masato..."

No matter how capable Xia Bangwei is, he probably won't be able to find much evidence.

Ha ha.

Ren Ning smiled calmly.

"Don't worry. Just like the Central Army, these people are all on the same boat. Blowing up just one of them will draw out the rest."

Moreover, Wei Junqian had used a trick to exchange several batches of prisoners from Beihai Customs, and Yang Miao had also rescued some soldiers from Beihai Customs from the Battle of the North Sea.

Therefore, they actually have quite a few witnesses.

"This is the best." Lei Er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Ning smiled and shook his head, "Don't just talk about other people, how is the task I assigned to you going now?"

Now that he felt relieved, Lei Er looked much more relaxed.

"Don't worry, Your Highness," he patted his chest, "everything is going on in an orderly manner for the sports event you want to host..."

"By the way." Having said this, Lei Er suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Your Highness, a lot of young generals have returned to the fortress these days. They heard that Your Highness is going to hold a 100-mile race for the Xiding counterattack, and they all want to sign up to participate."

"Oh?" Ren Ning was speechless.

He went to the Duke Zhenguo Mansion every day, so he naturally knew that Huo Yun, Huo Li and other young generals had returned to Xingji City.

He went there both to attend the coronation ceremony on the Double Ninth Festival and to visit the elderly and frail Princess Yi Guang.

But no one had ever mentioned the possibility of participating in the competition to him.

"As long as they meet the requirements, they can participate if they want." Ren Ning smiled, "Also, remember to tell them to train well."

After all, the purpose of holding this competition is to let the world understand the efforts and sacrifices made by the fortress’s soldiers and civilians in Dingxi County.

But it would be so embarrassing if Huo Yun and his team couldn't finish the race.

"Not really, not really." Lei Er couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It's only a hundred miles, not too far for people like them to finish the run.

Despite this, Lei Er still quickly went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Such a big thing happened in Xingji City, and Huo Yun and others gathered together to discuss it.

After hearing what Lei Er said, everyone lost interest in doing so.

At this time in the scorching sun, ordinary people would sweat profusely just by being under the sun.

However, they turned to the back garden of the Duke's Mansion and ran madly under the scorching sun.
