Chapter 1013 Yuan Wenshao was fooled by his men!

After arriving at the Yamen, Yuan Wenshao was furious when he saw the doormen drinking wine and eating meat.

This is the Wucheng Military and Horse Department, responsible for maintaining law and order in Bianjing City, and it is during an extraordinary period. These bastards dared to get so drunk that the eyes of the guy in the corner were blurred.

The concierge is still on duty, but it's probably not much better inside. It's only been a few years. It wasn't like this back then. How could it have deteriorated so quickly?

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshao kicked the one closest to him hard.

He said angrily: "You dare to drink when you are on duty. You don't even know who is coming in at the door. The warning is in vain, right?"

"Sir...sir, the little ones don't dare to do it anymore. If you have a lot, please spare us this time..."

Everyone fell to their knees. The squad leader who had just been kicked held his waist in pain and fear, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Now that I have sobered up, no one thought that even this late at night, Mr. Yuan would actually come back with a counterattack. Why is he here without sleeping at this late hour?

Yuan Wenshao didn't have time to chat here, so he pulled up the collar of the leader.

"Go and inform all those who stay behind at night, no matter what they are doing, to assemble in the courtyard within a quarter of an hour. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"

"Yes!" Everyone felt like they were being pardoned and left the concierge in a mess.

After a while, in the middle of the yard, all the night watchmen were gathered together. There were about a hundred or ten people in slouched and disheveled clothes.

Some of them were in a daze, and they drank some wine before, so they were still complaining.

"Who is it? What are you doing this late at night?"

"That's right. What's wrong with not sleeping? What happened to the official?"

None of the high-ranking officials are here. They probably went to visit the brothels or left their posts and went home to hide out.

"Grandma's~" Yuan Wenshao gritted his teeth in anger at the crooked melons in front of him. He almost couldn't breathe, so he simply closed his eyes and didn't look at them.

I'm too lazy to take care of the matter because it's urgent. Once this matter is over, I'll settle the accounts properly. I need to clean up these old grunts. They're all rotten at the root.

He took a deep breath to adjust his mood, then turned around and took out a small tiger charm from his arms, handing it directly to the follower next to him.

"Yuan Liu, go to the barracks next door and wake up all the cavalry. I don't dare to go and see them. I guess the situation over there won't be much better!"

"And Rong Bao, if you enter the palace with my badge, these people will all be thrown up onto the wall. Please, Your Highness, quickly dispatch a group of God Guard soldiers!"

"Yes!" After the two followers responded, they bowed directly and turned to leave.

When Yuan Wenshao saw that the discussion was still going on, his eyes narrowed with a fierce look on his face, and he simply took out the sword from his waist and walked towards the one who yelled the most fiercely.

This bastard must have drank a lot, and he could smell the strong smell of alcohol before he even got close.

"I've been working here for half my life, who can help me..."

Not wanting to listen to his nonsense anymore, I picked up the knife and chopped it down hard. In an instant, the head fell to the ground, with a look of shock on his face.

Everyone was stunned, and a few people around them didn't even dare to move. A few days ago, this man rarely came out of the official room since he took office. He thought he was here for gold plating, but he didn't expect that he would kill people if he said he wanted to. .

Yuan Wenshao, whose face was splashed with blood, reached out and touched his face.

He said coldly: "Who has any nonsense?"

"Gudong~" Everyone swallowed silently. The originally slanted stance now became extremely standard and silent. At first glance, they looked like elites.

"Everyone obeys the order!"

"Yes!"

"Give me a door-to-door notification. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered all officials to return to the Yamen, and the patrol soldiers have also been assembled and on standby!" "At the same time, the military and horse divisions in each city are ordered to conduct strict inspections. There are suspicious elements who are causing trouble and do not listen to the advice. You can kill on the spot~"

"As ordered!"

After that, all the soldiers and minor officials present were like running away from the god of plague. They didn't even dare to look at Yuan Wenshao. As for the corpse on the ground, they all avoided it and hurried out the door.

As the saying goes, in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. This is an extraordinary period. After all, Zhao Zongquan is just the old emperor's cousin. No one can guarantee whether someone will take risks. Who doesn't want to be the emperor?

Yuan Wenshao was wearing armor and sitting in the middle of the courtyard, holding a piece of cloth to wipe his sword. This was passed down from the ancestors of the old Yuan family. I heard it was an old item from the previous palace.

At this time, the entourage who went to deliver the order to the cavalry barracks next door hurried over with a man in armor.

"Sir, your guess is correct. Originally, the Military and Horse Division should have 200 cavalry, but in fact there are less than 100 old, weak, sick and disabled, and half of the horses cannot be ridden!"

"That's not right!" The expression on Yuan Wenshao's face was full of astonishment.

"Yuan Liu, didn't we go see it two days ago? Although there are some people who are free of charge, at least they are still strong soldiers!"

"Sir, let him explain to you that this is Deputy Chief Zheng!"

"Deputy Head?"

"Sir, we Chen Dutou have a new concubine. We usually don't live in the camp~"

Deputy Zheng knelt on the ground with a thud. This was a small complaint. The reason was very simple. What second-in-command didn't want to be the boss?

Yuan Wenshao was still a little confused. He originally thought that these people would drink and be lazy, so he didn't go there in person. Why were there so many people missing?

"Um... Deputy Zheng is worried, right? What is going on? We used to have strong soldiers and horses, why are there so many fewer soldiers all of a sudden?"

"Mr. Yuan, you don't know something. I don't know how many Dutou have been replaced in the past few years. Everyone will resell horses to get paid. In order to cope with your inspection, Chen Dutou hired people and horses at high prices. You go. After that, we were dismissed~"

"Grandma, it's dark under the lamp!"

Yuan Wenshao never expected that someone would play this trick for him. After playing with an eagle all his life, he was eventually pecked out by an eagle. There was someone who dared to blatantly fool him.

Although I really want to settle the score with this bastard, now is not the time, so I can only swallow the bad breath in my heart.

He ordered: "Deputy Chief Zheng, you will be the Chief from today on. When you get back, you will cast aside the young and old to select the elite, and go out to patrol the streets immediately!"

Deputy Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground...no, should be called Zheng Dutou. When he heard that he was promoted, he understood that he had made the right bet today.

He quickly raised his head to express his loyalty: "Sir, thank you for your cultivation. I will repay your kindness to the death!"

"Go on your errands and let bygones be bygones, but if something goes wrong, your head on the ground will be your future fate~"

"Gudong!"

Zheng Du rubbed his head and swallowed. When he first came in, he naturally saw the corpse on the ground.

After the others left, Yuan Wenshao sighed. He still lacked experience as an official. Today's incident was a wake-up call. Compared with these old fritters, even seeing may not necessarily be believed.

These days, I have been focusing on studying official relations and neglecting the underlying things. I will need to be more careful in the future.

After a while, his follower Rong Bao also came back. He brought good news. Zhao Zongquan also understood the situation here and specially allocated a battalion of divine guards soldiers.

"Huh~" With these new forces, Yuan Wenshao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so close to making a big mistake because of his mistake!

"Marquis, divide your people into five teams and go to the military and horse divisions in each city to impose martial law on Bianliang City for three days~"

"As ordered!"
