I'm the villain

Chapter 498
"Is that so?"

The old emperor had the same letter as Bai Qing's letter on his desk, and it was difficult for people to tell which one was a fake.After reading the letter, Eunuch Feng touched his neck uncomfortably. He felt that his neck was a little cold.

"Yang Jiaozhi has such a talent, maybe he should be sent to the battlefield."

Eunuch Feng didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that His Majesty felt that Lord Yang Jiaozhi's pre-judgment was really subtle.

is not that right?

If Master Yang really went to the battlefield, maybe it will be of some mysterious use.

"The person behind Songshan should be carefully investigated. The one named Cuiyun should also be taken good care of. It's not easy for her to change her mind, yes, but after all, she hurt people's lives. Let's see if she did something unreasonable in the past. If not, it’s okay to say, if it is found out, it will be killed on the spot.”

The old emperor stood up, walked to the bookshelf, brushed his fingers across the books, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Seven Strategies of the Martial Arts Classics, and finally stopped at the edge of the sandalwood bookshelf.The old and wrinkled hands pressed against the polished and moist wood, looking a little gray.

"People behind, check carefully, and don't let anyone go. If necessary, send troops directly to clear the payment."

Eunuch Feng hurriedly picked up a pen to write, read it once after writing, the old emperor nodded in agreement, then carefully dried it, stamped it with a seal, and sent it out.

I wrote three copies in a row, one for the Ministry of War, one for Xijiang Mansion, and one for Liutang County.

Eunuch Feng rubbed his sore wrist and finished reading the last copy for Liu Tang County.Just as he was about to dry the ink, he heard the old emperor say: "Rewrite. Order Li Mancang to train his subordinates strictly."

Eunuch Feng was taken aback, His Majesty actually remembered such a small person.If there are too many county lieutenants like Li Mancang, His Majesty will take care of him.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty transfer people from the Xijiang Mansion? Liutang County is a small place, and young and middle-aged people are there to serve in the army. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather many people. It seems that those people are not good enough to deal with the most vicious people."

"Do you know about Li Mancang?"

"It seems that he used to be someone close to General Zhu." Eunuch Feng couldn't remember where he knew about it.

"This man is Zhu Wenyuan's soldier. I heard Zhu Wenyuan mention it a few times, but I haven't heard him mention it since then. Check it out." The old emperor tapped the bookshelf lightly, and the sound reverberated like a drum, accompanied by Feng's voice. The eunuch's heartbeat beat together.

"Yes."

General Zhu mentioned someone to His Majesty, but he was reduced to Liutang County, which is not right.

"Zhu Wenyuan said that Li Mancang is a titan, a rare titan with a brain."

To be so praised and even remembered by His Majesty, to be reduced to a small county lieutenant, would be too condescending.Eunuch Feng made up a lot of quarrels among his colleagues, and finally wrote the order to Liutang County. After deliberating and writing it three times, he got His Majesty's approval to send the letter.

After setting the value, Eunuch Feng went to check Li Mancang immediately.

The Ministry of War has a record of rewards for meritorious service, and Zhu Wenyuan is a strict one. Every battle will present the battle situation and rewards and punishments to His Majesty.Eunuch Feng searched for five hours, and found out about Li Mancang.

Some rewards were directly issued by the army, and only one sum was recorded.Some are a bit of a hidden family taste, and are rewarded by the government.Most of Li Mancang's rewards were weapons and the like, and the only family that could be considered a "shade" was a house in Liutang County.

The Ministry of War came and went with the local yamen, and the delivery records were clear, with Li Mancang's handprint and signature.

After this house, there are no other rewards.Looking at the time, I'm afraid this is the time for Li Mancang to return to his hometown.

"Is this sent back?"

Ah Choo!Li Mancang sneezed, causing his son, who was holding a bowl of millet porridge, to wink.

"Father, you are getting old, why don't you let me be the county lieutenant."

Li Mancang rubbed his nose and slapped the table.

"Eat you, someone must have said something bad about me. I'll go to the prison to see what that Lin is."

As soon as Mrs. Wang came out with the dishes, she saw her husband leaving in a hurry. When she asked her son, she immediately smiled.

"Your father doesn't want you to follow your father's footsteps, so you eat and go to school. It's a shame that you haven't passed the exam for so many years. Your grandfather said that if you don't pass the exam this time, you will be kicked out of the house."

The boy snorted, finished the millet porridge in one go, pulled out half a bowl of vegetables, and ate it with steamed buns.Only then did he speak slowly: "My grandfather is reluctant, mother, where is my grandfather? Why didn't you come over for dinner today?"

Mrs. Wang gathered her sideburns and hair, shook her head and said, "I don't ask these questions, if you want to know, go to your father."

The scene she saw on the city wall a month ago scared her so much that she didn't sleep well for half a month.A few days ago, Dr. Zhou told her that she was pregnant again. Recently, Mrs. Wang has become more timid. When her father-in-law and husband wanted to talk about things in the army, she just hid and didn't want to listen.

"My father didn't tell me. He only let me study. The master said the six arts of a gentleman, and he only let me study."

"Okay, let's go."

The young man didn't want to go out, so he said happily: "Mother, is the county magistrate really that powerful? I heard that she killed many spies from the Liao Kingdom!"

Hearing what her son said, Mrs. Wang couldn't help vomiting when she thought of what happened on the city wall that day.

Li Mancang forgot to bring something, just turned back, and saw his wife holding the table with a distressed face, suddenly became angry, lifted his foot, took off his shoes and beat his son in one go.

"Ahhh~! I didn't do anything, I didn't make my mother angry ahhhh!"

too bitter.

"Shut up, you didn't go to Fang Jiewa for three days, and you actually started to bully your mother. If I hadn't been so busy recently, I would definitely have peeled your skin!"

The boy hurriedly grabbed his book and rushed out of the house, fearing that his father, who said he would do it, would really hit him hard.Too bad he didn't do anything.

But speaking of it, on the day of father's banquet, he had never met the county magistrate because he was punished by his master for endorsing in school.

Grandpa said that the county master is as old as himself, so he doesn't know what he looks like.

The boy thought as he walked.

Anyone who can kill Liao people must be as big and three rough as his father.The boy nodded, feeling that his speculation was very reasonable.

I moved all the way to the school, but I was late.Being punished to stand outside the door, the young man held up the Analects of Confucius and read aloud in chaotic order, thinking about the busyness of his grandfather and father recently.

So busy, he also wanted to join in.

The boy's thoughts diverged little by little in the penalty station for being late every day.

After breakfast, he quickly moved to the school, where he was punished to stand still while holding a book in a daze.The life of a teenager is always so uneventful, which makes him feel boring.

Finally, one day he was going to school, and just as he moved to the door, the messenger rushed in.

"A letter from Beijing, it's for Mr. Li!"

The young man wants to accept the letter. He is the future Mr. Li, and it will be the same for him as for his father.The young man thought comfortably.

"Go ask Lord Li to come over, he needs to kneel down to welcome this letter."

The young man was taken aback, and soon, relying on his years of experience in reading scripts, he rushed home quickly, shouting to let Li Mancang, who was eating steamed buns, come out.

The letter is from the middle of Beijing. I don't know if the letter is written by His Majesty, but the young man knows that the letter is genuine.

After the messenger left, he tiptoed behind his father to read the contents of the letter.

"Father, Your Majesty asked you to train your soldiers well. Why is there no reward?" The young man felt that his father had solved a big case and deserved a reward.

If not, it must have been embezzled by others.
