The Hufang Secretary has arrived at Qi's inspection house and explained Wei Chong's strategy to him in order to ask him to serve again. Since the inspection was dismissed, he has often been depressed. Seeing the good news that the official has been reinstated, he happily agreed.
The clerk thought that Wei Chong would waste his time there, and was about to rest and wait for a while, but unexpectedly he heard the sound of horse hooves and Wei Chong ran in.
"It seems that both officers are easy to talk to! You have finished talking so quickly." The clerk said with a smile.
Wei Chong's face flushed with anxiety and he stamped his feet: "Oh! That officer Yan is really making a show!" He hurried to Inspector Qi and asked for a bowl of tea.
Wei Chong moistened his throat, and then said to the two men: "This Yan officer is openly trying to withdraw his troops, but secretly he is inciting his troops to make a big fuss in front of me. What do you think I can do?! He wants to kill Wan Dang. It doesn’t matter if I lose the prestige or the prefect Ye’s face. Damn it, it doesn’t matter if you involve me in this. It’s really a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes...” He was so angry that he trembled all over and threw the lid of the tea bowl to the ground.
The clerk lowered his head to pick it up: "Master Wei, don't be angry...it's important to have an idea."
"If Yan is unwilling, why not go to Officer Zhang and ask him if he can withdraw first and let my soldiers go in." Inspector Qi came up with an idea.
"No," Wei Chong immediately rejected the proposal. "Since the prince of the county has requested that the troops be withdrawn at the same time, and officer Zhang himself can't make up his mind, should he still be allowed to resist the order?"
Inspector Qi suddenly became speechless.
"I have a plan," the secretary of the household office gently covered the tea bowl, "aren't those two officers temporarily assigned to patrol duties? We can't send another patrol officer, but we can send a deputy. Well! We should forcefully send the inspector Qi under the guise of the prefect, and let Ye Yongjia take the blame when the time comes. Although this guy is at odds with you, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see those soldiers messing around at the yamen gate. In addition, If you don’t understand the situation in the department, you must reinstate the inspector!”
"What a plan!" Wei Chong said and pulled Inspector Qi up, "It's no longer necessary to go back to the inspection office now!"
Just as the two officers looked at Qi's inspection troops in confusion, Secretary Wei next to them coughed several times and pointed to Qi's inspection at the foot of the stairs: "Generals Yan and Zhang, your Majesty, in view of the pending withdrawal of troops. , so I sent this person here to take up the post of deputy inspector, and first station the officers and soldiers here."
"Okay, okay!" Officer Zhang didn't know what to say, so he just clapped his hands for a while.
"Officer Yan..." Wei Chong looked at him with his peripheral vision.
The latter showed displeasure and said coldly: "Okay, let's go."
After getting permission from the officers, Inspector Qi bowed to the three men and ordered the soldiers to go.
Seeing that there was no one around, Officer Yan spoke up and said sternly: "Secretary Wei, what are you doing? You heard this this morning, we all plan to withdraw, but the soldiers are not happy, so how can we leave? Yan "You said you have to wait, and you didn't say anything disrespectful. What do you mean by forcibly sending a deputy inspector? Are you going to drive us away?"
Wei Chong stared with a pair of innocent eyes: "This is the order from the magistrate himself, and it has nothing to do with the villain; the villain is just an errand boy, who knows the deeper meaning..."
"Ye Yongjia..." Officer Yan clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
Ye Yongjia got up early as usual, changed into his official uniform, and rode his horse to the Yamen.
As soon as he arrived on the street in front of the government office, he saw that the people were not going in the direction of the government office, so he stopped one person and asked, "How can we all go around?"
The people panicked and replied: "A group of military lords kicked the door of the government office and shouted inside. Who dares not to avoid it?"
Ye Yongjia frowned, knowing the danger, so he hurried forward and rushed forward.
When we arrived in front of the yamen, there were indeed thirty or forty military men patting the iron gate in front of them, taking turns shouting and cursing, and making a mess. He quickly jumped off his horse, pushed aside the crowd, and asked, "Whose soldiers are you?"
They all turned their attention to Ye Yongjia, with fear on their faces and did not dare to speak out.
Only their immediate superior, Officer Yan, still shouted: "Mine!"
"Have your people stop," Ye Yongjia glanced around, "Let's go in and talk."
"Please take a seat."
Officer Yan sat down on Ye Yongjia's chair and said, "Sir, I told Secretary Wei that his soldiers were causing trouble and that the withdrawal of the troops must be postponed for a longer period of time. I didn't say a word 'no'; why did I have to force the officers and soldiers to come here?" , causing embarrassment to us."
Ye Yongjia said: "This matter was done by Secretary Wei. I don't know about it. You go and tell him."
Officer Yan was very dissatisfied: "Sir, Secretary Wei asked me to ask you, but you kicked me back. You have to give me an explanation, right? I am following Yue Gong after all!"
Ye Yongjia was about to defend himself when he heard a clerk knocking on the door, so he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Belongs to the King of Wanjun."
He trembled with excitement: "Come in."
The clerk opened the door, handed Ye Yongjia a piece of paper, and whispered a few words. Ye Yongjia nodded and rolled the paper into his sleeve.
He felt refreshed and was no longer so indifferent to Officer Yan: "General Yan, I'm sorry. I will help you solve it now, and you will be satisfied! Go back, tonight!"
This inconsistent attitude made Officer Yan stunned. He made a few promises and walked out of the room in a daze.
"Have you chosen the person?" Ye Yongjia asked the clerk behind him.
"You arranged for Jiang Tianjiang to inspect."
"Let Officer Zhang withdraw his troops after the curfew, and then send Chiang Kai-shek on inspection to take over. Don't let anyone take advantage of him."
"I understand, little one."
"withdraw troops!"
Wei Chong, who lived in the wing, heard Officer Zhang's fierce shouting and was so frightened that he rolled off the bed. He got up and groped in the dark for clothes to wear. But when he heard the orderly footsteps of the soldiers outside, he knew they were withdrawing. He simply didn't wear a coat, walked barefoot on the cold stone road, and hurried to find Qi Qi. Inspection.
"Why did you withdraw without making any noise?" Inspector Qi was shocked, "Could it be..."
Seeing his hesitant look, Wei Chong pushed him hurriedly: "Is it something else? Get the paper quickly, I'll write to the king why I chose you... for inspection!"
"I didn't grind the ink..."
Wei Chong was furious: "Then grind it quickly!"
Just as Inspector Qi was about to sharpen his ink, he heard another burst of hurried footsteps.
"Come back again?" Wei Chong's head was covered with big beads of sweat, "Let me take a look!"
He cautiously walked behind a tree and saw groups of people running towards the main hall, and these people he had never seen before.
Wei Chong pinched his lips and looked at everything in front of him in surprise.
Until a man walked into the hall surrounded by officers and soldiers, pulled out a chair, and sat upright in the moonlight, his armor shining brightly.
"King Wanjun wrote an official document this morning, ordering Officer Zhang to withdraw from the Inspection Department first. Later, after being favored by the prefect, he selected me as the new Inspection Inspector. Everyone, please call all the officials in the department to meet with the new officer. !”
