Need for a Guard

Although Xiao Yan really wanted to kill Lan Jian completely, but looking at the 'sorrowful rabbit's dead fox' expression of the officials from the White Department, and seeing the dead fish in their eyes, he also knew that he could not act emotionally. .|

Although it is very satisfying to kill Lan Jian, it is very likely to cause Bai Mochou's desperate counterattack. The risk is extremely high, so don't act rashly.

Anyway, with the position of admiral of the Nine Gates in hand, the Nine Gates City Guard is under his control, and Lan Jian has become a useless person, so let him go for the time being.

Xiao Yan coughed lightly, and said in thought: "Your Majesty, the Nine Gates City Guard is under the control of the military department, and Lord Kang should make the decision."

Xiao Yan was old and cunning, he didn't want to participate in this matter, so he kicked the ball to Kang Shanzhen, thinking that it would be best for Kang Shanzhen to have a small stomach, and he became angry because of Lan Jian's recommendation of Cheng Ye, and punished him severely, so that he could completely turn against Bai Mochou .

Yan Jing asked Kang Shanzhen again: "Your Majesty, what should General Lan do?"

How could Kang Shanzhen fall into Xiao Yan's trap, and said in a loud voice: "General Lan is loyal and diligent, and all courtiers know that this time the thief is cunning. City guards, the morale of the army is not stable, and it is understandable, I think it is appropriate to punish General Lan with a salary of one year and transfer him to the Military Supplies Department to study and review."

call!

Manchu Wenwu let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yan's face turned green with anger: What kind of punishment is this?This is clearly turning major events into small ones and trivial matters into nothing!

Is a one-year salary penalty considered a penalty?Who is an official living on salary?Transferring to the Military Supply Department can only be regarded as a vacation, and it has nothing to do with punishment.

But just now Xiao Yan kicked the ball to Kang Shanzhen, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is not willing to be a villain in vain.

Yan Jing nodded in satisfaction: "Duke Kang is wise and powerful. I will naturally listen to what the Duke says, so let's do what the Duke wants? Ah... oh... Is there anything else I can do? I'm sleepy. I'm going to feed the birds! Otherwise, let's retreat."

How could Xiao Yan let go of such an opportunity, and said solemnly again: "I still have this Qizuo."

"Xiao Aiqing, can't you let me go?" Yan Jing sighed heavily: "On matters as small as sesame seeds, just discuss it with Duke Kang at will. I'm so focused on feeding the birds, how can I have time to discuss government affairs? Alright! Alright Hurry up, Xiao Aiqing, I'm listening."

Xiao Yan's face was livid with anger: Are you still an emperor?The ass is on the baby but I don't know how to cherish it...

"Qi Zou, the emperor, after the fire, the five hundred assassins are the rebels of the Plum Blossom Sect, and they are very fierce. In the battle report three days ago, Mu Ping's coach, Nan Batian, has repeatedly stated that the rebels of the Plum Blossom Sect were trapped to death. In Muping City, the emperor also commended Nan Batian."

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Kang Shanzhen, and said coldly: "But how did these assassins come out? Did they grow wings and fly out of Muping City? Therefore, I concluded: Nan Batian must have lied about the military situation, and should be severely punished as a warning Xiaoyou!"

"Ah? This..." Yan Jing looked sideways at Kang Shanzhen, "My lord, what...what is going on here?"

"Lord Xiao, as an important minister of the imperial court, how dare you speak lies?"

Kang Shanzhen frowned, stepped forward, glared at Xiao Yan and said, "Who can prove that those assassins must be plum blossom rebels?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Xiao Yan sneered and said, "Didn't the black guards arrest more than a dozen people? It will be clear when they come up for interrogation. I don't believe that other than the Plum Blossom Sect members, who would have such a great influence, and who would have the guts to dare?" To cause trouble in the capital, I believe that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are well aware of this matter, right?"

But all the courtiers who don't know the details attribute the culprit to the Plum Blossom Sect. Besides the Plum Blossom Sect, who would do such a thankless thing?Isn't this nothing to do?

In fact, even Kang Shanzhen thinks so in his heart, and up to now, he is very grateful to Shi Yue-those who died by oral poison, in Kang Shanzhen's view, were Shi Yue's deliberate actions: the purpose was to kill people and silence them, and not to teach them. People use handles, so as not to embarrass themselves and not deal with the aftermath.

Because of this matter, Kang Shan paid more and more attention to Shi Yue in his heart, and even thought that he was open-minded, and he could let go of his grievances and grudges towards Nan Batian, regardless of past suspicions.

If Shi Yue hated Nan Batian in his heart and wanted to take revenge, all he had to do was to follow the normal procedure and disclose these plum blossom traitors to the public, then Nan Batian would be convicted of lying about the military situation. of?

But for the sake of Nan Batian, Kang Shanzhen would never admit this matter, and retorted with a sneer: "Master Xiao, those rebels are very brave. Conversation?"

Hearing that these people had died, Xiao Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief, beat him up, and said with a sneer, "Since he was captured alive by the black guards, how could he have the chance to take poison? Who doesn't know what the black guards are capable of? Who wants to kill someone? Do you have a life to come out alive? Mr. Kang, you have made it clear that death has no proof."

Kang Shanzhen's eyes showed a ferocious look, and he stared straight at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes: "Master Xiao, since there is no real evidence, why do you frame Nan Batian? You are the prime minister of the current dynasty, so how can you just talk nonsense?" ? Lost virtue?"

"I'm talking nonsense?"

Xiao Yan waved his arm, and said sonorously: "Am I just talking nonsense, the civil and military officials of the Man Dynasty understand in their hearts, Lord Kang protects Nan Batian so much, how will he manage the army in the future?"

Xiao Yan knew that Nan Batian could not be convicted without real evidence, but through this incident, he shook Kang Shanzhen's military morale and tore off his hypocritical mask of being selfless and fearless. Laughed so hard I couldn't sleep.

Yanjing also knew that this matter was going on and on, and it was only to tarnish Kang Shanzhen's reputation, and could not do anything to Nan Batian, so she waved her hand impatiently and said: "Enough! Enough! Lord Xiao, Lord Duke, these Take care of the wind and shadow matters yourself, how can I care about such nosy matters? I am too busy fighting crickets." After finishing speaking, he was about to announce his downfall.

Unexpectedly, Kang Shanzhen said in a high voice: "I have a book to play!"

"kindness?"

Yan Jing was curious: he didn't expect what Kang Shanzhen would say, anyway, if he couldn't make up his mind for a while, he could just prevaricate it, discuss it with his master, and then deal with it. The trick of pretending to be crazy is always practical.

"My lord has a play." Yan Jing said impatiently.

Kang Shanzhen glanced at Xiao Yan, and said just now: "Taohuawu is on fire, and five hundred assassins strangled three thousand talents. The situation is urgent. The black guard Qianhu Tianfen's unit, led by Shi Yue, is risking death. , fought to the death with the gangsters, not only rescued all three thousand talents, but also strangled five hundred assassins, and the most important thing is to ensure the safety of Bai Yushi, Tian Fen and Shi Yue's troops have contributed a lot!"

"My minister strongly recommended that the black-clothed guard Qianhutian was promoted to the black-clothed guard's co-prefect; the black-clothed guard with a hundred households, Shi Yue, fought hard and was promoted to the black-clothed guard's thousand households, commanding an army alone, generals under his knees, rewards according to merit, please be kind to your majesty allow."

Be a good dragon!Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat: Master, a good thing finally happened to you...
