Jiang Cheng stood in the study with a low eyebrow and a lamp in front of him. Liao Chengfeng leaned on the back of the chair and slowly flipped through a file, reading slowly and carefully.
Liao Chengfeng also climbed up from the bottom of Xuanqing Guard. Of course, he also followed the path of the military, the iron and stone military system, otherwise Jiang Cheng would not have become his disciple. It's just that in recent years, Jiang Chengcai and his ideas have disagreed.
Even though Liao Chengfeng didn't like the fact when looking at the file, he had to admit that the Licheng Black Flag Battalion under Jiang Cheng was a successful company with both ability and luck. You can tell from this file alone.
It is not easy to smooth things out and have a target of suspicion in just one day.
"The Wen family and the Jingbei Army...what do you want to do?" Liao Chengfeng read the file word for word and put it on the coffee table at hand, looking at Jiang Cheng with unkind eyes.
"Sir, I didn't expect that Xuan Qingwei would be bullied one day. If this anger doesn't go away, I'm afraid he will be ridiculed by the whole court."
"Oh, no need to talk nonsense, just tell me your plan. Let me see what kind of evil spirit you, Jiang Cheng, are planning to unleash this time."
"My subordinates believe that the Wen family is the biggest suspect and should not be let go. The Jingbei Army is just an additional addition. It's better to deal with it together if it's already here."
"Oh! That's such a big statement. The Jingbei Army consists of 600,000 tigers and wolves, but in your mouth, it's just a new addition? You, Jiang Cheng, are quite capable."
"Sir, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! And as long as we can penetrate in, both the Jingbei Army and the Wen family can tear the hole open, and you will be invincible. By then, not only will the PLA I will greatly appreciate you, and you will be able to take advantage when the Xuanqing Guard is cleared."
The word "purge" made Liao Chengfeng's eyes flash with a hint of complexity. The situation is unclear, and he is indeed somewhat passive now.
"The sign of the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen can be a deterrent to the Wen family, but it is not necessarily the case for the Jingbei Army. Besides, you are planning to behead someone this time. The only disadvantage is that there is a risk of mutiny, and Pang Daren has to come forward in person. Okay. Hey, don’t you know the joints inside? Why do you have to drag the Jingbei Army into it!"
Liao Chengfeng thought about it and realized that the Jingbei Army was much more difficult to deal with than the Wen family.
If a Wen family member said something bad or really wanted to kill him, he would be destroyed. What would happen to Tianfenggu behind him? Can you still compete with Guochao? But the Jingbei Army is complicated.
"Sir, the Jingbei Army smuggled arms. It's okay if we don't know the news. But pretending not to know if we know it is a serious crime. My subordinates dare not not avenge it." Jiang Cheng looked very depressed at this time. The "I'm so hard" look.
Liao Chengfeng snorted and turned away. He was too lazy to watch Jiang Cheng act. But he said: "Is that bastard son of the Wen family still under control?"
"Yes, before, the people at the Li City Guards had a sneak peek and secretly took the person out of the dungeon and hid him. Now that the dungeon has been destroyed, except for a few people who know about it, they all think the person is dead."
"Be optimistic about people. Only with him can everything be based. Otherwise, even if the majority of people are willing to push this matter away, there will be nothing they can do."
"My lord, what do you mean?"
"Tomorrow morning you will come with me to command the Yamen to present this matter to Mr. Da Da."
...
Although Jiang Cheng belongs to a thousand households, the number of times he enters the command and envoy's yamen is pitiful, only twice at the most every year. The number of times I saw Brother Xuanqingwei was even less.
At dawn, Jiang Chengfeng was waiting outside Liao Chengfeng's house. At the beginning of the morning, Liao Chengfeng came out wearing a brocade robe.
"Let's go."
He asked Jiang Cheng to get on the carriage and drove all the way towards the palace. Although it was not yet dark, there were already many carriages going along the road, all in the direction of the palace.
The time of the Jingjiu Dynasty was at the beginning of Chen Dynasty. The offices of all the major government offices in the imperial city were all around the imperial city. Therefore, regardless of the officials, big or small, the main road to the imperial city at this time was full of confusion.
On the carriage, Liao Chengfeng closed his eyes and rested without saying a word, not even a word of explanation. Jiang Cheng opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out. He rarely had the opportunity to experience the daily life of an official at the foot of the imperial city. In just a moment, he had already seen the lanterns of two third-rank officials.
However, as soon as they entered Junhou Street, Liao Chengfeng's carriage turned onto a small road, separated from the carriages and horses on the main road, and then went around to the right side of the Imperial City, where a continuous red wall appeared in front of them.
The commander has arrived.
You need to sign up first, and then wait in the tea room. Unless you dare to sing the emergency report with a "red feather", otherwise you will just wait in line.
The tea room is large, but the light inside is not good. There are many people, including those from the Xuanqing Guards, those from the military, and those from the local government. Each one holds a stick in his hand, each with its own mark, waiting for the roll call at the door. He went out as soon as he read the number on his note.
This kind of situation is not seen in Fengli City. Jiang Cheng knew the rules and helped Liao Chengfeng find a chair to sit down, while he waited patiently by his side.
When it was almost noon, Liao Chengfeng's name was sung outside the door. He is the governor of the town, and the roll call officer has already jumped in line for him, otherwise he would have to wait until the afternoon if he came over temporarily.
Jiang Cheng was a little nervous. It was his first time entering the commander's mansion.
After passing through the huge and busy main hall, passing through a densely packed partition, and then passing through a corridor, it was much quieter. I continued walking and arrived at the place after several light and dark sentry posts along the way.
The guard checked the identities of the two people and then went in to report. He waited for half a stick of incense before going in. When he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man in the spacious mansion writing something at his desk with a pen.
"My subordinate Liao Chengfeng is here to meet you, sir."
Jiang Cheng also raised his voice and saluted, his attitude extremely respectful.
The person sitting at the desk is the leader and commander of the Xuanqing Guard, Pang Ban.
"Oh? Cheng Feng, you are a rare visitor. Next to you is Jiang Cheng, the official of Qianhu in Fengli City, right? Why are you here together?"
Liao Chengfeng smiled and bowed, took two steps forward and said, "Sir, Jiang Cheng came here last night with a file. I want to tell you about the progress of the attack on Xuanqing Guards Station in Licheng the night before. .”
The commanding officer's office was naturally aware of the attack on the Licheng Guard Station, and not speaking out was to give the governor's office time to explain. This was one of the reasons why Liao Chengfeng agreed to Jiang Cheng's visit here.
Pang Ban put down the pen in his hand, smiled very kindly, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Okay, if you don't come today, I will call you to ask. Sit down, sit down and talk."
Liao Chengfeng took the dossier sent by Jiang Cheng last night from his arms, and then sat down to introduce the situation to Pang Ban, which was basically the same as what Jiang Cheng had told him.
Pang Ban took the file and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly: "What are your plans?"
"It's a matter of great importance, please make your decision." Liao Chengfeng was already very dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's sudden siding with him. He had always made up his mind to fight for peace, but now he would not express his position easily even if he was riding a tiger.
Pang Ban smiled so hard that there was no reaction. Instead, he looked past Liao Chengfeng and landed on Jiang Cheng behind him, and asked, "Jiang Qianhu, what do you think?"
