After Zheng Lujia was captured by Li Tianmu, Concubine Zheng ordered Yan Shoufeng to find Zheng Lujia alive and to see her dead body.

Zheng Lujia has been burned to ashes by Li Tianmu. Where can he find it on Yanshou Peak? After searching for several days to no avail, Concubine Zheng Guifei guessed that her brother was gone, and so was her nephew. Zheng Lujia’s original wife was Zheng Wei’s

My mother died of illness a few years ago, and now only Zheng Lujia's dozen concubines and concubines are left in Zheng Guo's house.

Concubine Zheng took out a small part of the gold and silver jewelry in Zheng Lujia's secret room and sent the concubines away. The rest was secretly sent to Yongning Palace by Yan Shoufeng and handed over to her for disposal. Zheng Lujia's property was huge, and this time Concubine Zheng could make a fortune.

Got a windfall.

Concubine Zheng hated Li Tianmu to the core and vowed to capture him and cut him into pieces to avenge his brother. She offered a reward of 200,000 taels of silver for the capture of Li Tianmu. There are profit-seeking gangsters of both black and white in the world.

People who were greedy for money swarmed around looking for Li Tianmu, hoping to make this windfall, but they couldn't find him anywhere.

After Zheng Lujia disappeared, Tian Feng, the Minister of the Second Auxiliary Ministry of War, succeeded him as the first assistant. Luo Sigong had already thought of the idea of ​​tripping up Tian Feng. Now the second assistant is Zhao Nanxing, the princeling's Minister of Civil Affairs. As long as Tian Feng is tripped again, the princeling

You can regain your position as chief assistant.

On this day, Luo Sigong called Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi to the office, assigned a task, and ordered them to enter the Ministry of War office at night to steal the roster of all the garrison personnel of Wandu Division.

The Ministry of War distributed food and salary to the officers and soldiers of the army according to the roster. Luo Sigong knew that the garrison of Wandu Division was underpaying. Wanting to find out the real evidence, he captured the highest officer of Wandu Commandery Division - Commander Li Yuanling.

Li Yuanling is Tian Feng's confidant, and as long as he is taken down, Tian Feng may be tripped up, because Luo Sigong expected that Li Yuanling would not keep the ill-gotten gains from free money, and he would not dare to keep it to himself.

, most of the money must have been taken away by Tian Feng.

Corruption was a common problem among old-time bureaucracies, and anti-corruption has become the most common and most effective means to combat political opponents.

In the early hours of that night, Mou Shi and his two men, dressed in black and masked, sneaked into the Ministry of War office quietly. There was an undercover princeling in the Ministry of War, and Luo Sigong had already found out that the roster was stored in the second confidential room.

There were no guards on duty at the Ministry of War Office at night, so Mou Shi and the two men came to the door of the Second Confidential Room without any trouble. There was a lock on the door. Jin Yiwei had been trained in the lock-picking skills, and both Mou Shi mastered it.

Mou Rongtian took out a small piece of iron wire, put it into the keyhole, poked it three times and twice, and with a "click" sound, the padlock opened.

The two pushed the door open and entered with a fire stick to light up the room. There were several filing cabinets with locks on them. Mou Rongtian saw that one of the filing cabinets had the four characters "Wandu Division" written on it. He opened the padlock and found that there were piles of files inside.

Author of hundreds of books.

The two of them rummaged through each book and found out the latest personnel roster of Wandu Company. They wrapped it in cloth, locked the padlock again, left the room, locked the door, and left, returning to the Jinyi Wei Headquarters.

Office, walked into the large conference room, and saw brightly lit lights and more than a dozen people sitting there. Except for Luo Sigong, the others were all Luo Sigong's confidants.

Luo Sigong saw them coming back and asked, "Have you got everything?"

Mou Rongtian said: "I got them all."

Luo Sigong said: "Very good, thank you both for your hard work."

Wanquan is in charge of Wanquan's left and right guards, Xuanfuqian, left and right guards, Huai'an guard, Bao'an guard, Yongning guard, Huailai guard, Yuzhou guard and Kaiping guard, a total of eleven guards.

It also has jurisdiction over Meiyu Qianhu Station, Xinghe Shouyu Qianhu Station, Sihaiye Qianhu Station, Guangchang Qianhu Station, Chang'anling Qianhu Station, Yunzhou Qianhu Station, and Longmen Qianhu Station, a total of seven thousand household stations.

.

The establishment of the army of the Ming Empire implemented the garrison system. The army had two levels of garrison. One government had a garrison, and several palaces had garrison. The garrison had commanders, commanding 5,600 soldiers. There were a thousand households under the garrison, and the number of troops was

There are 1,120 soldiers, and there are 100 households under the Qianhu Station, with a total of 112 soldiers. Each prefecture and county guard post is under the jurisdiction of the commander and envoy of each department.

The Wandu Department is a provincial-level military organization, which only has the Department of Commanding and Envoys, and does not have the corresponding Department of Administrative Envoys and Envoys of Punishment and Prosecution.

Under normal circumstances, three divisions should coexist in a province to check and balance each other. However, the Wandu Division is an important border defense area and is mainly used to defend against foreign enemies. Therefore, there is only a separate division, which is jointly managed by the military and civilians.

Looking at the guards of Wandu, the layout is a fan-shaped defense system with the capital as the core. This deep and echeloned layout can well defend against attacks by the Tatar tribes in the north.

Each clinic in the Wandu Department has a separate roster. There are eleven clinics and seven clinics, a total of eighteen rosters.

Luo Sigong distributed these rosters to the dozen or so close scribes and asked them to copy them down in blank notebooks, and they must finish them before dawn.

Because these rosters have to be sent back to the Ministry of War Office overnight, people from the Ministry of War cannot detect that the rosters have been stolen, so as not to alert the enemy.

If Yan Shoufeng knew about it, he would definitely guess Luo Sigong's intention. Once the intention was exposed, things would be difficult to handle.

The pens, ink, and blank notebooks were placed on the long table and were already ready. These scribes were all very fast with their pens, and they were all finished in less than an hour.

Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi returned the roster to the Second Confidential Room of the Office of the Ministry of War overnight, without anyone noticing.

Luo Sigong asked Mou Rongtian to take a copy of the roster and take people to the Wandu Department to conduct a secret investigation to find out who was real and who was false.

The next morning, Mou and Shi made up for their sleep in the dormitory. After lunch, Mou Rongtian took Shi Yi and left the capital on horseback. A few days later, they arrived at Xuanfu City, where Wandu Division was governed.

The two went to the local Jinyiwei sub-office. Wandu Si Jinyiwei Commander Tan Qianhu heard that his superiors had arrived and lined up to greet them. They had met each other. Mou Rongtian said: "Master Tan, find a place where we can talk conveniently. I have something to explain."

"

Tan Qianhu said: "Then let's go to my office." He asked Mou and Shi to enter the office and take a seat. After the others left, Tan Qianhu said: "I wonder what you have to explain, Mr. Mou?"

Mou Rongtian said: "I have been ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to investigate how many people there are in each guard station of Wandu Division and who they are. I want to get their list. Please cooperate with Sir Tan."

Tan Qianhu said: "I will definitely cooperate with Master Mou to find out this matter."

Mou Rongtian said "hmm", nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This matter needs to be carried out secretly and cannot be made public. Mr. Tan, do you have eyes and ears in Wanquan's various guards?"

Tan Qianhu said: "Yes, they are all."

Mou Rongtian smiled and said: "This will be much easier to handle."

Tan Qianhu wanted to host a banquet in honor of Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi, to bring them a clean slate, but Mou Rongtian politely refused. Mou Rongtian followed the old rules, paying for food, eating only steamed buns and pickles at every meal, and not drinking any wine or tea, giving Shi Yi every meal.

The meal includes two cooked dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.

Mou Rongtian came on Luo Sigong's order, and Tan Qianhu did not dare to neglect him. On the same day, he secretly found the informants in each guard station and handed over the task.

Ten days later, the list was compiled. When Mou Rongtian compared the list, he was so angry that he slammed the table. There were 69,440 people on the list, but there were only more than 30,000 people on the list.

Up to half.

Mou Rongtian circled the falsely reported people on the roster with a red pen one by one, returned to the capital, and reported to Luo Sigong. Luo Sigong was very happy to see so many people who were paying empty wages, and thought to himself: "Li Yuanling, Li Yuanling, you are destined to die this time."

Already."

Luo Sigong entered the palace to meet the emperor. Wanli summoned him in the imperial study. Luo Sigong presented the roster and list. Wanli looked through it for a while, slammed the table and shouted: "Li Yuanling is really a coward."

After a pause, he continued: "Luo Aiqing, the roster of Director Wandu is in the Ministry of War. How did you get it?"

Wanli knew that Tian Feng, the Minister of War, and Luo Sigong were political enemies, and it was impossible to hand over the roster to him. He expected that Luo Sigong must have used extraordinary means.

Luo Sigong knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I am guilty. This roster was copied by me after I sent someone to steal it from the Ministry of War."

Wanli said: "Bold, Luo Sigong, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, you know the law and break it. What crime should you do?"

Luo Sigong said: "I want to find out the case, but I don't dare to alert the snake, so I have to take this step. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Wanli pondered for a moment and said: "Get up. I think you are concerned about the safety of the imperial court and the country. Your starting point is good. I will spare you this time and won't do it next time."

Luo Sigong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Wanli said: "Are this roster and the contents on it true?"

Luo Sigong said: "It's absolutely true."

Wanli said: "I will send an imperial envoy to Wandu Division for verification. If it is found that the true situation is not the case, and if you dare to fabricate facts and falsely accuse Li Yuanling, I will never spare you."

Luo Sigong said: "How dare I? Even if your Majesty sends someone to verify it, the content here is absolutely true. I have a clear conscience and am not afraid of verification. I just don't know who the Majesty will send to go?"

Wanli pondered for a moment and said: "Let Yushi Hai go." The officials in the DPRK were either princelings or Zheng party members. There was no one who was neutral.

Li Yuanling was a member of the Zheng Party. Wanli could not leave the case to the Zheng Party members. The imperial envoy could only appoint a princeling. Although Haizhong Di was a princeling, he was upright. If Luo Sigong deliberately framed Li Yuanling, Wanli expected that Hai Zhongdi would

Di would definitely not join forces with Luo Sigong, so he decided to use him.

Wanli summoned Hai Zhongdi and said: "Luo Aiqing found out that Wandu Division was underpaid and compiled a list of personnel. I ordered you to be the imperial envoy and go to Wandu Division with the list for verification. If the situation is true.

Yes, capture Li Yuanling immediately and search all his property. If the situation is untrue, return to Beijing immediately and report it to me."

Hai Zhongdi said: "Old minister, I obey."

Luo Sigong ordered Mou Rongtian to escort Haizhong Di to Wandu Division, and asked him to take Zhou Junchen, the "King of Hell" of the Hundred Households in Beizhen Fu Division, with him. After Li Yuanling was captured, he would be tortured to extract a confession immediately. Li Yuanling must be called to
