Chapter 86
Seeing King Su, Feng Shenshao had no choice but to salute and greet him.Su Wang saw Feng Shen's handsome appearance, and he also liked it tightly.Not long after, the governor of Shuntian Mansion rushed over after hearing the news, seeing that Feng Shen was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

Prince Su praised Uledan and asked him to take care of the pensions for the casualties.Uladen got the order and started to arrange it.

Feng Shen changed his clothes and cleansed his face, and after eating some food, he came to the side room of the back office to tell the story of this encounter in detail to King Chen Su and the governor.

When talking about the commanding army's snatching of corpses, Fu Yin couldn't help but frown: "That team...is so strange!"

Prince Su clapped the case: "Dare to challenge the Beijing army, you are truly daring!"

"That's right!" Feng Shen said, "At that time, we had already revealed our identities, but that group of people still had nothing to worry about. Moreover, when the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandit chaos, the group of people appeared behind them. Connected to the previous events, the humble officer faintly sensed that something was wrong. Thinking about it Thinking about it, I boldly persuaded General Wu to accept them temporarily."

"Based on that," Fu Yin asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Exactly," Feng Shen said, "I have heard the bandit leader mention something about 'responsibility'. Moreover, among the group of bandits, there are four gunmen. Afterwards, I have also examined their bodies. Those corpses, between the fingers , shoulders are covered with calluses..."

Prince Su interjected: "This finger is hard and callused, it should be caused by holding guns all day long. But what about the shoulder?"

"Returning to the prince," Feng Shen said, "people with calloused shoulders are nothing more than coolies and bearers who carry goods, but this kind of people have their calloused shoulders facing upwards, unlike the four people whose calloused faces are facing upwards." Forward!"

Prince Su nodded, "Go ahead."

"Yes," Feng Shen continued, "as far as I know, when firing a long spear, you need to put the butt of the gun against your chest and shoulders. After practicing for a long time, your shoulders will naturally face forward. Also, the four heads There are no braids at the back. And in the team that besieged the officers and soldiers, many of them had their braids cut off. Therefore, it is arbitrarily judged by the humble position that these four people were born in the army, and they probably belong to those commanding troops!"

"That's right," Fu Yin said, "It seems that there must be a collusion between officials and bandits! We must quickly find out the origin of this team! It's just that many of the army are now equipped with foreign guns and firearms... for a while, it's really hard to do it. ..."

"Brother Zhiyu, worry too much," Prince Su waved his hand, "It's true that there are more firearms in the army. Maybe there are people equipped with a quick gun. Excluding the Jingshi Firearms Battalion, I'm afraid there are not many left...that group of people Yishui's long spears and short weapons appeared near Zhili again..."

Fu Yin suddenly said: "My lord, you mean 'Dingwu Army'?"

Prince Su nodded and said: "Exactly. However, Dingwu Army is its old name. After the Sino-Japanese War, the imperial court sent Hu Yufen to Tianjin Horse Factory to train the new army. Later, the new army moved to Xiaozhan and was taken over by Yuan Shikai. After Yuan took over, it was expanded according to the German military system, divided into infantry, horses, artillery, workers, and supplies, and renamed the "New Army". At present, Yuan Shikai served as the governor of Zhili for three years, and this army will naturally return to his control..."

Fu Yin's face changed suddenly: "Yuan Shikai? It turned out to be him!"

Prince Su hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Zhiyu, don't be impulsive, this king is only speculating...Feng Shen, keep talking!"

Fu Yin's expression suddenly changed, and Feng Shen was also a little confused, so he paused for a moment before saying: "According to what the bandit leader said, behind their Tianli Sect, there is such a young master Yun as support."

"Master Yun?" Prince Su asked, "Do you know his full name?"

Feng Shen said: "It seems to be called 'Yuntai'..."

"It can't be wrong!" Fu Yin said "chuckle" and said, "It must be Yuan's good deed!"

Feng Shen was puzzled, "How can you be so sure, my lord?"

Fu Yin gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know something. Yuan's eldest son is called Yuan Keding. And that 'Yuntai' is exactly Yuan Keding's name!"

Prince Su's face sank: "In this case, it is indeed related to the Yuan family... This matter... is really tricky..."

Fu Yin sternly said: "Although the thief Yuan is so powerful, I, Shen, don't fear him! This thief is really a malignant beetle of the Qing Dynasty by slandering the rules and regulations and destroying the rules and regulations! My lord, I will go back and make a plan for you!" Zhezi visit him! Farewell!"

"Brother Zhiyu, stop!" Prince Su grabbed Fu Yin, "I can understand your mood at this time. But if you want to impeach Yuan Shikai, you should think about it in the long run!"

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed!" Fu Yin said, "For the imperial court, Yuan's traitor governor, Zhili, has a large army, which is tantamount to accumulating wages. Besides, Yuan's traitor is unfaithful and unjust, and has previously betrayed his trust." In the journey of seeking glory, there will be a way of collaborating with bandits and plotting against them. The wolf's ambition is clearly revealed. If he is allowed to do whatever he wants, our Qing Dynasty may really perish!"

"Whisper!" Prince Su looked around, "Brother Zhiyu, please don't hold back your words, and watch out for outsiders to listen!"

Fu Yin knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped speaking.

"Alas..." Prince Su sighed, "Then Yuan Shikai's relatives are expensive inside and party support outside, so why doesn't this king know about it? But right now, he is in command of Beiyang and holds six towns in his hands. He has blue eyes. He is said to be a bandit and treason, and we have no direct evidence to impeach him rashly, and we will suffer backlash."

"These principles are also understood by the lower officials." Fu Yin said, "However, Yuan's thief is not a minister, and his heart can be punished. If he waits for him to be full-fledged, he will inevitably be out of control. Plan ahead and prevent troubles before they happen. If the court can be alerted, the lower officials will worry about it." Some risks are worth it!"

"Come on!" Prince Su said, "Brother Zhiyu is sincere, so I won't stop you. But when you plan to make a deal, don't speak too much, think carefully, and leave yourself some leeway. In addition, this king will lobby Some censors, let them go to Shushenyuan to help you!"

Fu Yin bowed to the ground: "Thank you, my lord!"

Prince Su hurriedly came to help: "Brother Zhiyu doesn't have to be like this. When the court comes up, this king will also mediate from it. It's getting late, let's go back!"

The governor bowed again, bid farewell to Prince Su, and returned to Shuntian Mansion accompanied by Feng Shen.As soon as he arrived at the mansion office, the governor ordered Feng Shen to go home to rest and recuperate, while he locked up his room and wrote a book...

So, after two days.

In the early morning of the third day, as soon as Feng Shen stepped into the government office, a messenger rushed over: "Master Feng, you should go and have a look. Just now, someone from above has issued a letter of Taoism to my lord. My lord has finished reading it." After that, I just sat in the back office and haven't said a word until now!"

"Really? I'll go and have a look!" Feng Shen said, then ran towards the back office.

Coming to Houya, Feng Shen pushed the door open and entered the hall.Fu Yin was at the desk in a daze, and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Feng Shen called softly: "My lord..."

As soon as Fu Yin looked up, he saw Feng Shen: "Oh... it's my nephew who came..."

Feng Shen hesitated to speak: "My lord...I heard...the decree has come down?"

"Alas... good fortune tricks people!" Fu Yin let out a desolate voice, and handed the letter in his hand to Feng Shen, "You can see for yourself..."

Feng Shen quickly picked it up and showed it in front of his eyes.

I saw that the edict read:

Recently, in the area of ​​Jifu, there have been frequent violence and riots and bandits.Those who teach what is called the law of heaven are especially troubled.This religion incites and lures common people, abuses good people, clamors for violence, and causes great changes.The banditry was so strong that it could not be contained, which led to the resistance of the religious bandits, and finally started a quarrel.

The land of the chariot is like a sick elbow, the clan is in danger, and the holy car is in danger.However, Shen Yuqing, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, governed the government poorly and poorly. He sheltered the subordinates and allowed the bandits to hang out among them.And Shen didn't plan to remedy it, and he didn't cherish loyalty.A lot of floating words, bad words and random decisions.Fake the public to benefit the private, and swindle the loyal and good.All kinds of bad deeds, deeply bear the trust of the saint.Shen Shuntian is now dismissed from the post of governor, and moved to Shanxi as an inspector.Don't be selfish and angry, and blame yourself.

In order to calm the bandits, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, was involved in the investigation, and suppressed them with camera, so as to calm the source of chaos, promote Zhaojiong, and resolve the crisis.This is it.

"Ridiculous!" Feng Shen slammed the table angrily after reading it, "Contrasting black and white! My lord, we must not accept it like this!"

Fu Yin wryly smiled and said: "Don't you agree? So what? The king let the minister die, and the minister has to die... The imperial decree has come down, can it be possible to resist the decree?"

"My lord!" Feng Shen said anxiously, "There is no one in the civil and military circles with integrity? That's right! What does Prince Su say?"

"It's worth not mentioning the flatterers..." Fu Yin said, "Fortunately, Prince Su argued hard and defended desperately, otherwise, it would have ended with a relegation..."

Feng Shen asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Fu Yin raised his hand and pointed at the bedroom, and said: "The old man has packed his luggage and is going to Shanxi in the afternoon."

"What! Leaving today?" Feng Shen was startled, "This is too hasty!"

"It doesn't matter," Fu Yin said, "the old man's family members are all in their hometowns. In the capital, they are homeless and jobless. The luggage they carry is nothing more than a few boxes of books and a few tubes of scrolls. It is very convenient to pack... By the way, nephew, After the old man leaves, you have to wait with Fu Cheng and Lu Bantou, and do your best to serve the country!"

Hearing this, Feng Shen couldn't help but burst into tears: "My lord, to tell you the truth, my nephew is already disheartened. If it weren't for the fact that my ancestral business is here, I really want to go to Jin with you...My nephew has decided that after you leave, I will leave you alone." Resign from the errand in the yamen, from now on you can work and study with peace of mind, and don't bother with this stupid corrupt government anymore!"

"Nephew is wrong!" Fu Yin said solemnly, "It is true that those who are successful must help the world; but the poor should not only be good for themselves! The more troubled times are, the more responsible they are! The old man has suffered this strange injustice. Is it because I can't let go of the official name and vain salary when I go to the post with patience? In this dangerous and exhausting autumn, the people's livelihood is so difficult, and a good official can benefit the people of one side! Should I hang my ribbons and do nothing, or should I do my best, virtuous Nephew, you have to weigh carefully!"

"My lord's advice is right!" Feng Shen fell to his knees with a look of shame on his face, "My nephew... I know I was wrong!"
