Smuggling Daming

Zhou Zhong suddenly wanted to let Yu Wenyuan and others go out, leaving only Qu Lie to talk to him alone, which made everyone stunned, wondering what Zhou Zhong wanted to do?No one respected Zhou Zhong's identity here, so no one dared to ask, and they all went out according to the words, so that only Zhou Zhong and Qu Lie were left in the room, and Wu Shan wanted to protect Zhou Zhong's safety, so he didn't leave either.

After watching everyone else go out, Zhou Zhong stared at Qu Lie with piercing eyes, and he didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he stared at Qu Lie with trepidation in his heart. He coughed and asked with a forced smile, "Master Admiral , I wonder if you have anything to discuss with your subordinates?"

"Qu Tongzhi must have put a lot of thought into today's scene, right?" Seeing Qu Lie take the initiative to speak, Zhou Zhong sneered. From the moment he saw Qu Lie, he felt a little Something was wrong, and it wasn't until the deputy head of a thousand households surnamed Wu spoke up that he suddenly figured out that he might have fallen into the scheme of Qu Tongzhi.

Hearing Zhou Zhong suddenly pointed out that he was acting, Qu Lie's whole body trembled suddenly, but he soon returned to normal, with a confused expression on his bearded face and said: "A play? What play? The admiral's words belong to the I really can’t understand it!”

Seeing that the rough-looking Qu Lie still refused to admit it, Zhou Zhong sneered again and said, "Qu Lie, this admiral will give you another chance to honestly explain all the grievances and grievances between you and Cheng Quan, as well as your plan." I'll confess, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhou Zhong paused when he said this, and then added again: "Don't think that you are the only smart person in this world. Although your tricks are very shrewd, there are many flaws, and I bet, when I When you entered the barracks with Mr. Yu, you must have received the news and guessed the identity of this admiral, so you called a few confidantes to perform this scene in front of this admiral. If you don’t tell me , then I will ask Wu Qianhu and others, even if they are loyal enough. But with the city of these people, do you think they can continue to perform in front of this official?"

Every word in Zhou Zhong's above paragraph was like a cannonball bombarding Qu Lie's heart, making him break out in cold sweat for a while. Although he believed in Wu Qianhu's brothers, Zhou Chong's shrewdness was far beyond his expectations.If Zhou Zhong was really asked to talk to Wu Qianhu and the others, then Wu Qianhu and the others would probably reveal their secrets within a few words.

Thinking of this, Qu Lie's face turned extremely pale, and his strong body trembled a little. Finally, he knelt down and begged Zhou Zhong: "My lord, forgive me. This subordinate was confused for a while, so I lied to the admiral. My lord's move. Moreover, this matter all came from the plan of one of my subordinates, Wu Fang and others had to help me act this scene only because of the threat of my subordinates, and I hope the admiral will not blame them!"

"Hmph, how to deal with the subordinates who made mistakes is a matter for me. Now you should honestly explain the facts, lest the admiral make wild guesses. It will be bad if your crimes are aggravated!" Zhou Zhong With a cold snort, he had inquired about Dinghaiwei beforehand.He has also heard about this Qu Lie. Originally, he had a good impression of Qu Lie, but he didn't expect that Qu Lie would start playing tricks with him as soon as he saw him. Lie calculated it.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Qu Lie didn't dare to hide anymore, and immediately told all the grievances between himself and Cheng Quan, and why he wanted to act in front of Zhou Zhong this time.

It turns out that Qu Lie is indeed at odds with Cheng Quan, which is also consistent with Zhou Zhong's previous investigation. After all, the people in Shuangyu Port often deal with Dinghaiwei's Houqianhu, so Zhou Zhong can easily find out about Dinghaiwei's internal affairs. some situations.

Cheng Quan is the commander of Dinghaiwei, and Qu Lie is the acquaintance of the commander of the Wei. These two positions are hereditary. Since their ancestors, the two families have held the military power of Dinghaiwei. Even their ancestors were still the same. For brothers with different surnames who live and die together, the two families are also considered family friends.

However, since Qu Lie's father's generation, there have been problems in the relationship between the Cheng family and the Qu family. It is said that one of Qu Lie's aunts married into the Cheng family, but she died for no apparent reason less than a year after the marriage. Moreover, at the time of the burial, Qu Lie's mother saw her sister-in-law's body covered with scars, which made the Qu family very dissatisfied. Looking for an explanation, but the Cheng family kept hiding it and refused to tell the truth. As a result, the relationship between the two families became more and more tense, and even turned from a private fight to a fight in the guard.

Another point is that the Houqianhusuo in Dinghai, which is the closest to Shuangyu Port, originally belonged to the Qu family's sphere of influence, but later with the interest of Shuangyu Port, Houqianhusuo's oil and water became more and more abundant. , This also made the Cheng family very jealous, and finally just took advantage of the opportunity of falling out with the Qu family to clean up and do nothing. In one fell swoop, they emptied the Qu family's power in Dinghai Qianhu, and monopolized the Qu family's property. Oil and water.

It was also the above two incidents that turned the Qu family and the Cheng family from family friends into sworn enemies all of a sudden, and the fight between them intensified. In the end, the Cheng family took advantage of their higher official positions to keep Qu Later, after Cheng Quan became the Commander of the Guards, he even forged a relationship with the Xie family in Yuyao. This time, he used the power of the Xie family to completely empty Qu Lie and become Dinghaiwei's commander without any real power. Know.

However, Qu Lie was not reconciled. He secretly wooed those officers in the Dinghai Guard who were rejected by Cheng Quan or who were unsuccessful, while looking for a chance to bring Cheng Quan down. Find an opportunity, and this opportunity is Zhou Zhong, the upcoming admiral of the world.

Although Qu Lie looks like a rough soldier, he is actually as careful as a hair, and he is also clear about official affairs. When he learned that Zhou Zhongzhong was coming to take over Dinghaiwei, he immediately realized that it was from Governor Xie Di. Seizing the power in his hands, it happened that Xie Di was the backer behind Cheng Quan, and he heard some rumors that there seemed to be some conflicts between Xie Di and Zhou Zhong, which made him more sure that Zhou Zhong wanted to take over Dinghaiwei, thank you Di will definitely devise some means through Chengquan.

In the end, things turned out as Qu Lie had expected. In order to prevent Zhou Zhong from taking over the Dinghai Guard, Xie Di called Cheng Quan to Hangzhou. As a result, Zhou Zhong couldn't find Cheng Quan, the commander of the guard, so naturally he couldn't take over the army smoothly. .However, this gave Qu Lie a chance to take down Cheng Quan, so he had already started preparations a few days ago.

In fact, in all fairness, although the military discipline of Dinghai Guard has become much looser like other guards, it is one of the few guards in Ming Dynasty that can maintain a complete organizational system, and it is also responsible for defending Ningbo. No matter how relaxed he was, the scene that Zhou Zhong had seen before would probably not happen.

After Cheng Quan was summoned to Hangzhou by Xie Di, he handed over the power of Dinghaiwei and the management to the commander of the guard, who was one level lower than Qu Lie's commander Tongzhi, but he was Cheng Quan's confidant, so When Cheng Quan was not in Weizhong, this commander had always been in charge of Weizhong's management.

It's just that Cheng Quan entrusted no one, but Ding Haiwei's commander was a lazy and lazy man who didn't care much about the management of the barracks. He didn't care about anything except drinking and gambling every day. The following few thousand households are self-conscious.Of course, if it was just a laissez-faire command, the sergeants of Dinghaiwei would not be so presumptuous. At least when Zhou Zhong and the others came in, there would definitely be soldiers on duty to check.

However, Qu Lie is a very scheming person. After he knew that Cheng Quan had left Dinghaiwei, he immediately realized that he could use Zhou Zhong's power to overthrow Cheng Quan, thereby burying the shame of the family. So from a few days ago, he It has already started to be arranged.

Although Qu Lie was evaded by Cheng Quan, it was not like what he said before. After all, their Qu family had served as the commander and acquaintance in Dinghaiwei for generations, and they naturally had their own confidants in Weizhong, such as the one who drank with him before. Wu Qianhu and others are his most trusted brothers.It is also worth mentioning that Wu Qianhu and others were not all deputies in the past, but after Cheng Quan squeezed out the Qu family, they all found an excuse to squeeze them out of their positions.

It was also through Wu Qianhu and these thousands of households that Qu Lie secretly encouraged the soldiers in the barracks to drink and gamble, and even used his own savings to pay for the soldiers in the army. Qianhu sent a lot of money.

It was Qu Lie's secret methods, coupled with the management of the barracks and the indulgence of a few thousand households, which resulted in further deterioration of the military discipline in the Dinghaiwei barracks, and finally even developed into openly gathering people in the barracks to gamble and have fun. , As for the usual on-duty, no one cares about it, because the thousands of households are all entangled by the fans that Qu Lie secretly paid for, so where is there other air traffic control?

After messing up the barracks, Qu Lie has been waiting for Zhou Zhong's arrival, and he also has his own eyes and ears in the barracks. When Yu Wenyuan and the others brought Zhou Zhong to the barracks, Qu Lie immediately received the news, although no one knew Zhou Zhong. Zhong, but who else can accompany the prefect of Ningbo himself besides Zhou Zhong?So Qu Lie immediately called Wu Qianhu and others together, pretending to be drunk.

Speaking of which, Qu Lie's plan is really good, and he has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. He has seen Zhou Zhong's success in youth, and he will definitely not give in to Xie Di easily, and Cheng Quan is Xie Di's accomplice, so Zhou Zhong has a good understanding of Cheng Quan. Quan must also have a resentment. If Zhou Zhong sees that the Dinghai Guards in charge of Cheng Quan is so lax, he will probably remove Cheng Quan directly, or even ask him to blame. At that time, he will not get along with Cheng Quan It is natural that the commander and fellow acquaintances are the best candidates to take over the post of commander. (To be continued.
