As for the inspection department on the Shaanxi border, they will handle it themselves when they wait for the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion to come. We all need to cooperate with the Procuratorate. "

Chapter 676 [The Fallen Military Officer]

Xi'an.

General Administration of Inspection and Quarantine of Shaanxi Province.

The name Li Hu was changed by looking for celebrities a few years ago.

swan, swan.

Swollen, soaring into the sky...

Li Hu's left forearm is gone, and it was broken when he forcibly crossed the Yellow River in the Battle of Tongguan.Not only that, but his right leg was also a little lame, and his hamstring was stabbed by Li Zicheng's soldiers.

A veteran of Conglong in Wuxing Town, just like this, changed from the commander of the regular army brigade to the director of the Shaanxi General Inspection Bureau.

Moreover, he was also named a baron for his meritorious service.

Li Huzhong's whole family was taken to Xi'an, and the family property was also transferred to Chang'an County, and all became fertile farmland by the Fengshui River.Fearing that his family would not have enough staff and could not find tenants to farm, he gave a salt shop in Chang'an County the right to operate it for 50 years.

At least from Zhao Han's point of view, he has done his utmost to this old fellow in Wuxing Town.

"Director, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has arrested grain merchants in Huayin County, and they have already arrived at the provincial capital!" His confidant Yang Bin rushed to report the news anxiously.

Thinking about the emperor's methods, Li Huyu couldn't help swallowing: "Don't panic, don't panic, we can't be found here."

Yang Bin came from the Yang family of Hongnong, which was certainly not as prosperous as in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was also considered a thousand-year-old family in Guanzhong.

Yang Bin forced a smile and flattered him: "Yes, I won't investigate the Director again."

Li Hu was still fidgeting, walking back and forth in the room: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been merciless in its work. They have no right to inspect the inspectors, and they must report to the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Government. I am afraid we will have to see such a big matter." Blood…"

Yang Bin immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please benefactor show me!"

"Yu Xian is corrupt, perverts the law, and connives at smuggling," Li Hu paused, and said, "If he is investigated, he may commit suicide in fear of crime."

Yang Bin said: "Commander Yu is cowardly, he will definitely commit suicide in fear of crime!"

Li Huzhong nodded with satisfaction: "Go."

Inspection troops are mainly responsible for anti-theft, anti-smuggling, and suppression of bandits, and they also serve as frontier guards in border areas.The patrolling soldiers in Shaanxi are all under the jurisdiction of Li Huchong, and the direct superior is the Commanding Department of Shaanxi Capital.

What Li Hu did was to turn a blind eye to smuggling.

Smuggling grain to Qinghai, Hami, and Hetao is just one of the smuggling projects.Under the protection of Li Hu, merchants without business licenses smuggled salt, tea and ironware.

The goods shipped back include wool, sheepskin, yak, camel, horse, Hetian jade and so on.

Of course, Li Hu never personally handles these business dealings.Even if those businessmen confessed, they could at most give out Yu Xian, a fifth-rank military officer from Jiangxi.

Determined to let Yu Xian take the blame, Li Hu was still upset, always feeling that something might happen to him.

He rode out of the city to a garden villa.

It was originally the other courtyard of Qin Wang Zhu Cunji, and was later rewarded by Li Zicheng to the generals.Zhu Cunji himself first surrendered to Li Zicheng, then to the Manchus, then to Li Zicheng, and finally to the Datong Army. He was frightened and finally died of illness.

In the lineage of King Qin, there are more short-lived ghosts, and the main clan died out five times.

The power of the palace is often in the hands of the stewards and civil servants of the palace.Therefore, although the kings of Qin did not do much evil in the past dynasties, the domestic slaves and civil officials were all arrogant, and even if they surrendered to the Datong Army, they were all liquidated.

King Qin had many villas in the suburbs, but this one was not very eye-catching, and it became Li Huyu's golden house.

Or, Li Hu's depravity started from getting this villa.

This dilapidated place has already reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. After the government confiscated it, it was really useless to use it, so it was auctioned off to merchants.Hongnong Yang bought it, and it took half a year to finally establish a relationship with Li Hu, and then invited Li Hu Yuzhong to the villa for a drink.

The wine is cold and the ear is hot, and there is a beauty.

Although Li Hu has disabilities in both hands and feet, his fifth leg is very energetic.After a night of joy, Li Hu woke up furious and scolded the Yang family for dragging him into the water.

But only half a month later, Mrs. Yang invited Li Hu to a banquet again, and Li Hu went there again by a strange coincidence.

That beauty is absolutely stunning.

And her status is unusual, she is the side concubine of the last king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty!

"The master is back!

Still far away from the gate of the villa, the servant shouted at the top of his voice, and then rushed to greet him.

Many of these servants are domestic slaves of Prince Qin's mansion.

Except for those who committed the most heinous crimes, the Datong imperial court released all of them to the people, and even settled them down and divided them into fields.Some of the slaves of the royal family are really happy to be free, and practice farming honestly.But there are still some who are willing to be hired by the Yang family, come to the villa at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and change their masters to be Li Huzhong's servants.

Today's Li Hu is commanding the servants of the King of Qin, sleeping with the concubine of the King of Qin, and living in the other courtyard of the King of Qin, as if he himself has become a prince.

More than a dozen servants were serving, and Li Hu was full of boredom, and suddenly most of it had dissipated.

After handing over the horse to the slaves to take away, Li Hu walked into the inner courtyard with a swollen leg and two beauties, one big and one small, had brought their maids to welcome them in the courtyard.

"See you sir!"

The two beauties performed the Wanfu ceremony.

The rest of the maids knelt down and bowed all over, which made Li Huyu feel more and more elated.

"You two ladies, I've been in the city for half a month, do you miss my husband?" Li Huchong hugged the two beauties from left to right, and went in with his arms around the two beauties.

"Thinking so hard, my heart is itching."

"Apart from the itching of the heart, is it itching anywhere else?"

"Oh, master is good or bad!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The beauty's surname is Yang, and she is the side concubine of King Qin.

The little beauty is also surnamed Yang, and she is the niece of the big beauty.

After entering the room, the nurse came out with the baby in her arms, and Li Huzhong stretched out her hand to tease her, feeling more and more satisfied.

The side concubine of King Qin was pregnant last year, and the Yang family was afraid that Li Huyu would be lonely, so they sent another woman from the family to be a concubine.

Aiwujiwu, the elder brother of the little beauty, has also become Li Hu's confidant, that is, the Yang Bin who appeared before.

This place is thirty miles away from the city, and it is inconvenient for Li Huzhong to come here often. After all, he has to go back to the city of Ligong, and he can't stay for a few days when he comes.

He has long been tired of the yellow-faced woman at home.

Although that yellow-faced woman is the younger sister of Xiangcheng Hou Huangshun!

Li Huyu and Huang Shun did not marry after Zhao Han's incident, but they were both in-laws before the incident.One is in Huangjia Town, the other is in Lijia Village,

Now it has all become Wuxing Village, and intermarriage in the next village is normal.

It is precisely because his wife is Huang Shun's younger sister that Li Huzhong has never dared to take a concubine, not even to raise a concubine.

Falling in love overnight with King Qin's side concubine is like an old house on fire, which cannot be stopped.

Now that he is in such a big trouble, Li Huyu is still hot and wants to get on the boat when he sees the two concubines.He couldn't wait to enter the room with his arms around the aunt and niece, and told the maid: "Bring the wine!"

The big beauty pointed to her niece: "Master, my sister can't drink."

"Why can't you drink it?" Li Huzhong asked.

The beauty knew that Li Hu was a rough man, and he didn't practice elegance, and used vulgar and seductive words, so she said with a coquettish smile, "My sister is pregnant.

The master's body is as strong as a cow. Last year he made my concubine pregnant, and this year he plowed my sister's fertile land to sprout. "

"Really?" Li Huzhong hurriedly asked the little beauty.

The little beauty is only 15 years old this year, she is more introverted than her aunt, she blushed and replied: "My sister is not lying."

Li Huzhong was even more joyful, and suddenly became silent again.

This pair of beauties, big and small, their children, this magnificent villa, and so many servants, made him unable to part with them no matter what.

He was originally just a carpenter in Lijia Village, struggling to make ends meet. How did he ever think about the current scenery?

If it is found on him, everything in front of him will be turned into nothing.

"What's the matter, master?" the big beauty asked.

"It's okay." Li Huyu's face was grim, and he pressed the big beauty on the bed, caring so much about his mother, enjoy it first.

Since the day he accepted King Qin's side concubine, he has already realized that he will be brought to justice.

Anyway, he is also disabled, unable to fight and make meritorious service, the baron is his limit.The yellow-faced woman in the family, relying on her elder brother's power, often made him feel ashamed, how could she be as gentle and considerate as this big and small beauty?

A year here is worth more than ten years outside.

If you really can't hide, then take the greedy gold and silver, take your beauties, big and small, and go to Gushi Khan in Qinghai.

After venting on the big beauty, Li Hu was not satisfied, and enjoyed the personal maid again.

"Your father and uncle will probably come over tomorrow," Li Huzhong said to the big beauty, "Now that the limelight is getting tight, you go to Taozhou to take refuge. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is very powerful, and I'm afraid they will search here." And to the little beauty , "Your second brother will also come, everything will be arranged by him.""

Beauties, big and small, have lived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain for a long time, and they really don't know what's going on outside, so they were terrified by these words.

Unexpectedly, before the next day, Yang Bin escaped that night.

Li Huyu was awakened from a dream by the maid, and went to see Yang Bin in his pajamas, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here? Yu Xian refuses to die? Will he keep his wife and children without me?"

Yang Bin made a bitter face: "Director, after I went to Yu's house, I was left there for more than an hour. Yu Xian, the Yu family, went out of the city to make trouble, and I won't be back until the afternoon. I waited and waited, and I always felt that something was wrong. I hurriedly said goodbye and left Yu's house. I planned to go back to Yang's house and discuss the countermeasures with the clansmen. I saw a lot of policemen before entering the village!"

Li Huzhong said in surprise: "The Yang family has been investigated?"

"It's not just being investigated, the ancestral house has been sealed, and I don't know if the uncles have escaped." Yang Bin said anxiously.

Li Hu immediately slapped the table: "It must be that bastard Yu Xian, who was afraid of being beheaded by the court, ran to the inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and surrendered himself, and wanted to confess my merits to make up for the crime! Damn it, he didn't have a lot of money , Even if I confess that I have done meritorious service, I will have to peel off my skin if I don’t die. He might as well die and count, at least I will protect his family! Stupid, bastard!"

Yang Bin stopped calling for his official position, and didn't call for his brother-in-law, but panicked: "Uncle, what should I do?"

"I'm afraid it's not safe here, so I have to run away quickly with my goods," Li Hu said, "you can't go on the road, you can only enter Zhongnan Mountain, and go to Hanzhong first, and then go to Xihai (Qinghai) to go to Gushi Khan. I have prepared official documents at the checkpoints along the way, and I can pass by dressed as a business traveler.

Li Hu immediately called the beauties, big and small, and asked the housekeeper to lead people to carry the goods. The gold and silver had even been packed.

Some servants were afraid of the court and followed them obediently.Some servants were afraid of traveling far and did not want to flee with Li Hu, so they sneaked away and reported to the officials in the city.

Chapter 677 [Wrong step, wrong step]

Both Xi'an and Shaanxi provinces command envoys.

This yamen is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion, and has two types of officials, civilian and military.

Civilian officials are responsible for the province's military logistics, personnel files, military courts, military promotions, job transfers, etc.Military officials are responsible for the recruitment, training, command, mobilization, and combat of the regular army, patrol soldiers, and peasant soldiers in the province.

Jiang Liang's troops were stationed in Qinzhou (Tianshui), and he could quickly lead his troops there no matter if there was an invasion of foreign enemies in Hami or Qinghai. .

Hearing that something happened to the General Inspection Office, Jiang Liang left the defense area without authorization and rode a fast horse straight to Xi'an Fucheng.

Then, he was hung outside the interrogation room, smoking one cigarette after another.

The person being interrogated at this moment is precisely Yu Xian who surrendered himself.When Yu Xian first joined the army, he fought with Fei Ruhe, and for the next few years, he was under Jiang Liang's soldiers.It can be said that Yu Xian's rapid promotion is inseparable from Jiang Liang's promotion and reuse.

Xiaohong suddenly appeared behind Jiang Liang: "Go back to Qinzhou, you are leaving your post without authorization!"

Jiang Liang and Xiao Hong belonged to the same village, so he quickly stood up: "Xiao Huang Xiantai, I know Yu Xian, he is still very brave in battle,

And obey the military orders and never commit crimes.This time it's a matter, blame me for not being strict in discipline before, and ask Huang Xiantai to raise your hand..."

"stop!"

Xiaohong immediately interrupted: "First of all, the trial of Yu Xian is not under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Before the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Government came, we just cooperated with the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division to review the case. He is the deputy commander of half of Shaanxi (similar to the deputy commander of the Shaanxi Military Region, responsible for the western and southern parts of Shaanxi), how can he leave Qinzhou without receiving a transfer order?"

Jiang Liang hesitated to speak.

Xiaohong said: "The matter of your coming to Xi'an can be big or small. Looking at the friendship in the past, I will help you excuse this violation, just say that me and Du Si asked you to go back to Xi'an to help investigate. Come in with me now and put Tell me about Yu Xian, and you must return to Qinzhou immediately after assisting in the investigation!

Jiang Liang lowered his head, followed Xiaohong into the house, walked a few steps and said, "Yu Xian saved my life. On the battlefield, he helped me block the knife. Can I use my title to protect his family?" life?"

Xiaohong said in a low voice: "He voluntarily surrendered himself, and he gave a lot of useful information. He should be able to survive without your pleading. But the death penalty is inevitable, and the death penalty is inevitable. The final conviction has to be determined by Bingbuyin. The Shaanxi Inspection Department leaks like a sieve, you don't know anything about it when you are stationed in Qinzhou?"

Jiang Liang cried bitterly: "I'm leading the regular soldiers, how can I take care of the patrolling soldiers?"

another room.

Name. "

"Yu Xian."

"age."
