The Red Mansions

Chapter 180

Chapter 180

Qu Lang led a dozen Jinyiwei into the official hall, this Jinyi Baihu, because he got the opportunity to face the saint, he was promoted from the Jinyiwei Baihu to a deputy thousand.

This step is almost a hurdle in Jinyiwei.

There are not a few hundred households in Jinyiwei, but many hundred households have been busy for several years, and they may not be able to be promoted to deputy thousand households. As for the thousand households, there are only 14 people in Jinyiwei.

The most important thing is that Qu Lang fell into the eyes of Emperor Chongping.

Previously, during a conversation, Emperor Chongping learned from Qu Lang that there was someone in the Jinyiwei who was secretly responsible for the Sanhe Gang's song. He was transferred to Nanjing, and ordered to command his fellow acquaintance Lu Jingyao to seriously rectify the Jinyi Mansion and take charge of the affairs of the mansion.

It can be said that after this incident, the internal personnel of Jinyi Mansion are undergoing drastic adjustments.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to see Qu Lang, smiled, and said, "Vice Qu Qianhu."

Qu Lang raised his head and looked at the young dignitary opposite, he wanted to say something in his heart, but in front of so many people, knowing that it was not time to elaborate, he just nodded.

Jia Heng said: "Deputy Qu Qianhu might as well sit down first."

"In front of your lord, you don't dare to sit in a humble position."

As he said that, he stood at the head of the case, with several Jinyi guards behind him lined up inside, outside, left, and right.

Mu Zhong and the others who were kneeling below felt their hearts skip a beat.

Jinyiwei's fifth-rank vice-thousand households had only a place to stand in front of this young dignitary, but the three of them just sat aside carelessly, listening to the interrogation of the former Shangguan, their heads were caught by the door. Who can tolerate such a negligent attitude? !

Several people were secretly annoyed.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he looked over the three commanders of the five city soldiers kneeling on the ground with clear eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Mu."

"Humble position." Mu Zhong raised his face, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "My lord, you order."

"Commander Mu said earlier that the reason for the delay yesterday was because Xicheng was collecting tax money?" Jia Heng asked.

Mu Zhong's expression froze, and he quickly smiled and said, "Yes, my lord doesn't know about it, but my subordinates are rough in their work, and my humble position follows me all the time, and I won't leave even for a moment."

Jia Heng looked at Qu Lang at the side, and said, "Vice Qu Qianhu, is he telling the truth?"

On Qu Lang's stern face, his expression was indifferent, and he said: "The tax and silver collection of Xicheng is mostly in the middle of the month, and it will be collected together with the Xishi Prison. This Commander Mu is not telling the truth."

Jia Heng frowned and asked: "Then what did Mu Zhong do yesterday? Is there a record in the Weifu?"

"My lord, wait a moment." Qu Lang said in a deep voice, looking at his subordinates at the side, and said, "Fan Jin, the summary of the rumors and investigations in the West City, was it you who transcribed it and submitted it? Do you have a file? Find the commander Mu of the West City. What did Zhong do yesterday?"

It is impossible for a military officer like Commander Xicheng not to be surrounded by Jinyi Mansion's investigative surveillance. Even if it is a routine summary, it will be delivered to Jinyi Mansion, and then submerged in the vast amount of information.

"My lord, let me check it out."

Na Fan took out an album from his bosom, flipped through it quickly, found it not long after, and said, "Return to your lord, Commander Mu listened to music in Yichun Building yesterday morning, and left the building until Shenzheng three quarters in the afternoon. The city soldier Ma Si should be worth a little..."

As soon as this remark came out, Mu Zhong's face turned pale immediately, and he looked up at the young dignitary who was not angry and self-assured, and said with a smile on his face, "Lord Jia, this, this..."

Jia Heng glanced at Mu Zhong, and sternly prevented him from pointing out.

At this moment, Jia Heng was also a little bit surprised, secretly thinking that it was not for nothing that Emperor Chongping relied heavily on the factory guards. This kind of pervasive surveillance is simply chilling.

But after thinking about it, it is also related to Mu Zhong's position, the commander of the Wucheng Bingma Sixi City, this position must be on the list of secret agents.

"Last night, if Xie Zaiyi used a bow and arrow to scare away the inspectors from the inner factory, I'm afraid I would have to monitor like this...Although, in name, it's protection."

No one likes being watched all the time by other people, even in the name of protection.

"It's just that Jinyi Mansion's ability to collect intelligence is strong, but its ability to collect and analyze intelligence is a little weaker. Just relying on a few adults in Jinyi Mansion to analyze intelligence with their own heads, they can catch the big and let go of the small." Therefore, it is best to establish a professional intelligence analysis organization and archive them by category for future inquiries. Of course, there may be such a professional organization in Jinyi Mansion."

Jia Heng's thoughts turned, and then he glanced aggressively at Mu Zhong, who was already sweating profusely, and then looked at Wu Bin beside him, and said, "Commander Wu said yesterday that he was suppressing the refugees from Nancheng?"

Wu Bin's complexion changed, his lips moved, and he was about to open his mouth to distinguish, but he heard the young dignitary wave his hand, and then looked at Jin Yiwei at the side.

Then there was another "swiping" sound of papers being flipped through.

"Wu Bin, Commander of Nancheng, said that the influx of refugees in Nancheng is true. When the gambling house came out, before he could ask questions, he pulled his horse and ran away in a panic. He went to Shenghe Teahouse, where Xiang Yan, the deputy commander of Nancheng, led five hundred soldiers to hear the news. Yan asked, "My lord, did you come from Pingyao Street?How many people are armed, and are there any casualties on both sides? ", Bin replied: "The blue stones on the street are bright red, there may be casualties and it is unknown, sticks and kitchen knives are wielding black and white, I don't know how many people, Deputy Commander Xiang will go first, and the official will go back to the mansion to sleep and return to the cage. "Speak, don't answer again, yawn and leave.]"

The brocade clothes were chanting up and down, almost vividly outlining a yawning gambler with bloodshot eyes.

The people in the Yamen of the Bingma Division of the Five Cities first showed strange expressions on their faces, and then roared with laughter.

Xie Zaiyi's face was stern, and his voice sounded like Hong Zhong's, and he said: "You have no guts! It's a disgrace to the face of our military officers."

Wu Bin's slender cheeks were ashen-colored at the moment, listening to the ridicule around him, he just wished there was a gap in the ground to get in.

Jia Heng looked at Mu and Wu, and sneered in his heart. One Mu (with no) loyalty, and the other Wu (without) civil and martial arts, they really deserved their names.

"Where is Commander Yan?" Jia Heng waved his hand to stop the laughter of all the soldiers, and looked at Fan Jing of Jin Yiwei.

Yan Biao, who was kneeling below, looked indifferent and expressionless.

Hearing that Fan's experience turned another page, he read it first, and then said in a strange voice, his voice gradually lowered: "What Commander Yan said is the truth, a fire broke out in Anpingfang yesterday, Commander Yan led the soldiers to put out the fire, He took the lead and rescued four people in a house that was on fire. When he was rescuing a baby girl, the beam fell on her shoulder. Afterwards, he went to the An Le Tang to find plasters and paste them, and then returned home.”

When Jia Heng heard this, she was silent for a moment, looked at Yan Biao with dark cheeks, and said, "Commander Yan, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Yan Biao clasped his fists and bowed: "The lower official only suffered some minor injuries, and he was treated with cold water. He could have gone to the Si Ya to meet him, but he deliberately delayed because he bullied adults and young people. He is really guilty."

"What is the crime of Commander Yan?" Jia Heng heard the words, said loudly, stepped forward to support Yan Biao's arm who looked up at him, and said: "It's not urgent to reach the Si Ya, but what the Commander Yan did It’s just a matter of urgency.”

Yan Biao was shocked when he heard the words, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding."

With Jia Heng's support, Yan Biao got up.

Jia Heng looked at Mu Zhong and Wu Bin indifferently, and said, "Commander Mu, Commander Wu, you two should get up too."

Mu Zhong and Wu Bin felt apprehensive, thanked each other, and stood up.

"Come here, call Gongcao, Facao and others." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.

After a while, the civil servants headed by Cao Mengchang, the military commander of the five cities, entered the main hall of the government office from the side halls on both sides of the courtyard.

"I have seen adults in my humble position." Gongcao Mengchang, Facao, Cangcao and the other three said.

At this time, Jia Heng sat on the table, with a calm expression on his clear face, and said: "These are all old soldiers and horses, and they don't need heavy hammers to play drums. Now Qiu Liang is reprimanded by the Holy One for dereliction of duty and incompetence. However, this official has just found out that this person was corrupt and broke the law while he was in command of the Wucheng Bingmasi, and he has now been transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for disposal, do you have any objections?"

The meritorious Cao Meng Changcang said: "Master Jia has handled it properly, and I have no objection to this old man."

Others such as Cao Gao Yinian also bowed their hands and said: "I don't have any objections to humble positions."

After Qiu Liang and Jia Heng set up an ambush for the Sanhe Gang twice before, the current Wucheng soldiers and horses have long since dared not underestimate the young dignitary in front of them.

And Cangcao Luqing basically did the same thing.

It can be said that basically the handling is decisive, resolute, and wise.

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Everyone, Qiu Liang's lessons learned from the past must be kept in mind. The next step is to rectify the discipline in the Wucheng Bingma Division and sweep away the laziness and laziness! Gao Facao, You are in charge of correcting the discipline of the yamen, and next you have to do a good job of patrolling, extract soldiers from the yamen, and deal with those who go in and out of the Goulan to have fun, hang around the gambling house to gamble and play on the day of duty..."

Speaking of this, Jia Heng's eyes paused, and he looked at Mu Zhong and Wu Bin who were already looking ugly.

"The other generation will be suspended from their posts, and a place for lectures on laws and regulations will be set up in the yamen, and they will be severely rectified and educated!"

Mu Zhong and Wu Bin were shocked, and thought to themselves, it's over.

Facao Gao Yinian cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Jia Heng said again: "Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, cure illnesses and save lives, after education and rectification, those who have been examined and found to be free of corruption and lawlessness will be reactivated. Those who have committed wrongdoings should be properly forgiven... Gao Facao, this officer will borrow someone from the Jinyiwei Mansion to assist you in training."

Facao Gao Yinian quickly nodded in agreement.

Jia Heng looked at Gongcao Mengchang, and said in a deep voice: "I think that the soldiers and horses in the five cities, and the commanders in all the cities are in charge of arresting robbers, collecting taxes, banning fires, and patrolling the streets. Their duties are chaotic and their powers and responsibilities are unclear. There was a dispute with the Jingzhao Yamen. The official was appointed by the emperor to appoint the five city soldiers and horses, and the commander-in-chief of Shenjing's security. Fifth Division of Disciplinary Inspection... Fifth Division is directly under the jurisdiction of Siya, and its envoy is sixth-rank, at the same level as Commander Wucheng. Now he is transferred to two commanders, Mu Zhong and Wu Bin. The commander entered the Fire Department and served as the chief envoy. Except for Dongcheng, he was originally the commander of the three cities, and he will not be selected for the time being. Afterwards, the deputy commander of the three cities, whoever is brave, loyal, and dedicated to doing things, will be selected and promoted. What does Meng Gongcao think?"

Meng Chang's complexion changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is the official of the Five Cities Army and Horse Commander, and he has the right to deploy and adjust personnel affairs. This old man has no objection."

A thought flashed in my mind, since the former commander of the Wucheng Bingmasi, another powerful hall official has taken office.

On the other hand, Mu Zhong, Wu Bin, and Yan Biao all sighed when they heard the words.

The new official will definitely have to adjust personnel when he takes office, but he didn't expect that the commanders of the four cities would have to be replaced.

And... what's the situation with Huo Jun, he can't get sick, and he's a chief envoy?

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Meng Gongcao, write down the official documents. After I use the official seal, I will go to Chen Bingbu and send it down to the Si Yamen in the four cities."

"I will obey your lord's orders." Meng Chang obeyed the order, and went to the side to write the official document.

Jia Heng's eyes were deep, and he was thinking.

Originally, he had just arrived at the Five Cities Bingma Division, thinking that it would be better to be quiet than to move, but judging from the past few days, whether it was Shen Yan's contribution, or today's observation of the three cities' commanding abilities, he felt that maybe they were a little overestimated before. .

Not to mention, as he is now, holding the Tianzi sword in his hand, he might as well take a bigger step.

Moreover, he was busy with internal affairs, which happened to paralyze the Sanhe Gang and other gang members a little bit.

As for the selection and transfer of senior officials from the deputy commanders, they can also wash away the sand, and select the ambitious and capable talents who have fallen into the lower ranks.

"The one who is the superior is just whether he is punished or not. Knowing people is good." Jia Heng thought in his heart, then looked at Mu Zhong and Wu Bin, and said in a deep voice: "You two can come to the training place to learn from now on. , Mr. Fan, in the next two days, you and Gao Facao will discuss with each other and come up with a set of rules and regulations for the five-city army and horse division as soon as possible."

Fan Yi cupped her hands and said, "Yes, my lord."

Here, although Mu Zhong and Wu Bin were depressed, they could only surrender and obey orders.

Jia Heng then looked at Yan Biao, and said in a deep voice: "Strict command, water and fire are ruthless, and fire ban is not a trivial matter. In Shenjing City, regular inspections and rectification of fire prevention in shops are required. In the future, you will be in charge of the fire department. Fire prevention matters a lot.”

Yan Biao bowed his hands and said: "Thank you for your trust, sir."

He already understood the intention of this young nobleman, he was transferred to the official office at the same level, in order to see the aftermath.

"Furthermore, as a rule, the Army and Horse Division of the five cities can set up one commander, two fellow acquaintances, and four commanders. Therefore, all generals and assistants, who are brave in doing things, hardworking and frugal, this official is a martial artist. , I was ordered by the emperor to mention some affairs, and at that time, I will report to the Holy Majesty, give him an official title, and reward him for his hard work." After Jia Heng swung his big stick, he threw another carrot.

Chen Han’s five-city soldiers and horses, the five cities are integrated into one, if it is set up according to the official three-rank yamen, there can be commanders and assistants, qianshi and other deputy positions, but for various reasons, only the commanders and envoys sit in the yamen to see things, and call others The master book, Gongcao, Facao, Cangcao, etc. belong to the assistant officials.

As soon as Jia Heng's words came out, even the meritorious Cao Mengchang and the facao Gao Yinian were emotionally agitated.

No one would doubt Jia Heng's words, because Jia Heng's family members are Zhenglong, they are both descendants of the Ning Kingdom, and they are also national military honors. If he speaks and reports to the superior, it is really possible to mix up the official title of a fourth-rank commander.
