Chapter 1,178 Crossing the River to Power the Dragon

Chen Wei fell to the side, and Yang Hong knelt down and confessed his guilt. This series of changes made people confused.

Shen An sat back and asked, "What's your crime?"

He took the initiative to confess without any interrogation. This is so refreshing.

Yang Hong lowered his head and said: "There was nothing in the army yesterday. Chen Wei was drinking..."

"Then why doesn't he come?"

Shen An felt that he needed a cattail leaf fan, thinking that he would look like Zhuge Military Advisor.

"He..." Yang Hong raised his head and said sincerely: "He has colluded with Xu Ran."

"Who is Xu Ran?"

"Big grain merchant."

It’s time to give me a pillow when I’m drowsy!

"Since you know, why don't you report it?" Shen An gradually looked serious.

Yang Hong said painfully: "There is a class law in the army. If you go beyond the level and report to the police, you will be punished. The lower official... the lower official was cowardly for a moment... he deserves death!"

Shen An really wanted to smash this fucking class method.

But this is an ancestral rule, so you have to do it slowly.

The so-called class law means that all affairs in the military are under the control of superior officials, and subordinates must obey unconditionally, otherwise it will be a crime.

And the most ridiculous thing is that subordinates cannot go beyond the level to sue superiors. Even if you discover corruption by superiors, you cannot report it because it violates class laws.

There are examples of this. After the report was reported, nothing happened to the superior, but the reporter was in bad luck. From then on, the army became even more lifeless.

Shen An experienced this kind of thing when he first entered the officialdom, and finally suggested sending a censor to inspect the army every year.

But most of this kind of inspection can only be a formality, so the root cause still lies in this class law.

Shen An's face brightened slightly and he asked, "Have you ever been corrupt?"

Yang Hong shook his head, "The official is not corrupt. If he were, he would kill him and he would not complain."

Shen An glanced at Chen Wei on the ground and said, "Can the army control it?"

Yang Hong raised his head and said with some shock: "Yes. Just if you want..."

What do you want the army to do?

Shen An said calmly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, so as not to get into trouble. Just keep an eye on the army and wait for someone's orders. Do you have any questions?"

He glanced at Yang Hong.

With just one glance, Yang Hong said subconsciously: "No problem."

Shen An waved his hand, "Go."

Yang Hong got up and went out until he was out of the gate. Seeing that Chen Wei was not there, the waiting sergeants asked.

"Him? Mr. Shen left him to talk. He won't be able to come back in the next few days."

No one dared to ask any more questions. Some people saw that Yang Hong was sweating profusely and couldn't help being shocked, "Junhou, you are sweating."

"Yes!" Yang Hong then realized that he was sweating. He touched his forehead and sighed: "I saw County Duke Shen. He is worthy of being a famous general of the Song Dynasty. He has such a strong evil spirit that he dare not give birth to anything." The other thoughts are scary, scary! How scary!”

The sergeants were surprised, and someone said: "Marquis, you used to dare to walk alone in the mountains at night...why?"

Yang Hong had once walked to the graveyard at night, and when he came down safely, he fell asleep and the whole army was shocked.

Such a hero was so frightened by Shen An that he was sweating profusely. Isn't this... a bit exaggerated?

Yang Hong shook his head, "Don't you know, Mr. Shen just looked at X indifferently, but X felt that there was an extra thousand kilograms of weight on his back, and he was overwhelmed in an instant... Hey! It was so painful, if I hadn't resigned. , I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself on the spot.”

He recalled Shen An's eyes and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "I am... so scared!"

Shen An just looked at him indifferently and made him overwhelmed. This was the pressure of a famous general.

Coercion is formed by military achievements. Shen An's illustrious military exploits made Yang Hong heartbroken before they met. After meeting, Shen An showed a slight indifference and he couldn't hold on anymore.

After he returned to the camp, he tightened his orders and captured several of Chen Wei's confidants.

The stored grain was being consumed continuously. On the third day, the victims were mostly full, and then someone shouted: "The grain is gone, it's gone, it will be gone tomorrow."

The shouting came from among the victims. The local soldiers at the scene immediately searched but could not find the man.

But the victims began to panic.

They went to the government office, but Liu Xian avoided seeing them. A petty official came out and said that it was Duke Shen who made the decision.

As a result, Shen An's temporary residence was surrounded.

"We only had enough to eat when Mr. Shen came. We must remember our feelings!"

An old man came out and shouted, and the scene became quiet.

"This is an illusion."

Shen An inside is eating.

A large bowl of rice covered with a spoonful of sauce. After a brief stir, Shen An ate it with gusto.

Huang Chun on the side muttered: "Lang Jun, they are eating plump mutton, and we don't even have any meat."

The so-called them refer to Daming Mansion officials.

Shen An took a mouthful of rice, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and then said slowly: "The victims outside are in panic, but they eat so well, can they feel at ease? Of course they can, because they have no heart. Since they have no heart... then... Just beasts.”

"What will happen tomorrow?"

Huang Chun asked with a sad face.

Shen An took another bite of rice, Mei's eyes narrowed.

"tomorrow?"

He said: "Let one of the accompanying officials go today, and let Li Zhe ask the grain merchants to borrow grain."

Then Li Zhe went. He visited all the major grain merchants in Fucheng, but he couldn't get any grains of rice.

Immediately, the officials accompanying him were all complaining, secretly accusing Shen An of running out of food too early. Now everyone was in despair, and no good results would come from looking back.

…

The next day, the entire Daming Mansion seemed to have come to a standstill, with all eyes focused on Shen An's residence.

Liu Xian was drinking tea in the government office, squinting and shaking his head, but still smiling as usual.

"Prefect!"

Wang Tong and Jiang Wei came. Wang Tong looked sweating profusely, and Jiang Wei remained blank, but the joy in their eyes made Liu Xian's heart move.

"What's the matter?"

He put down the tea cup and asked calmly.

Jiang Wei said: "There is no food. Shen An is stuck at home."

Wang Tong slapped the table and said with a smile: "He is now in a dilemma. Magistrate, what can he do? He will definitely come to you to beg you. Only you can save him."

Liu Xian said calmly: "Save him? He Shen An is known as both civil and military, and he is also a master of miscellaneous studies. He also led the king for a while. How can such a person save him? How can such a person save him?"

The smile he wore all year round disappeared, and his eyes looked bigger and whiter, giving him a sinister look.

Jiang Wei suddenly sneered: "Let him hit the wall and let him know what to do, but food in the north is already difficult, and priority must be given to ensuring the supply of the army. If the army runs out of food, Your Majesty can chop him alive, Shen An!"

"Don't be impatient about this matter." Liu Xian said calmly: "Yesterday afternoon, he sent people to borrow grain from those grain merchants, but got nothing... If he is not stupid, he should come and ask me for help."

Wang Tong nodded and said comfortably: "Then let's wait."

"Wait." Liu Xian said, "Let's see how I humiliate him then."

The atmosphere gradually became more comfortable, and the three of them chatted and smiled knowingly from time to time.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, someone came from outside to report: "Prefect, Shen An has gone out with the Mangshan Army."

Um?

Liu Xian frowned and said, "Where are you going?"

"East."

Liu Xian raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and said: "To the east...but he's not here. Where is he going?"

Wang Tong said: "No matter what, can he still produce food? If there is no food later, the victims will panic. By then...there will be tens of thousands of people. How can Shen An stop him?"

"No!" Wang Tong slapped the case, stood up and said, "He doesn't want to run away, does he?"

hiss……

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Liu Xian said: "No matter what, if he runs away, I will naturally impeach him later."

"Prefect, those thieves and troops have come out."

"What?"

There was anger in Liu Xian's eyes, "Where is Chen Wei? Where is he? How dare he let those thieves come out without my consent?"

Wang Tong sneered and said: "Prefect, I am afraid that Chen Wei is unreliable. I will go and suppress him."

Liu Xian stood up and said, "Okay, go ahead and tell Liu Wei when you see him. If he refuses to listen...then expose all his scandals. These days, it is better to die than to live. He, Chen Wei, naturally knows this." reason."

He reached out and patted Wang Tong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, you can all feel safe."

Wang Tong nodded and immediately chased Shen An.

Shen An didn't go far because there were too many victims behind him, and he couldn't go too far, otherwise the victims would riot.

One person in front, and a crowd of disaster victims behind him. This combination makes people automatically retreat in the city.

Damingfu is an important town with a large population, developed commerce and numerous shops.

Shen An walked outside a cloth shop, and the shopkeeper quickly led him out.

"How much does one cost?"

Shen An asked about the price, and the shopkeeper thought of Anxiang's cloth store in Bianliang, and couldn't help complaining secretly, thinking that if Anxiang opened a branch in Daming Mansion, he would close down.

With its low prices, Anxiang Cloth Shop caused a bloody storm in Bianliang's cloth business, and countless cloth shops fell down.

Daming Mansion is not as good as Bianliang, so the shopkeeper raised his head and begged: "Mr. Shen, this Daming Mansion... will it leave a way for the villain to survive?"

Shen An was stunned, and then couldn't help but smile.

This is the battlefield of capital. He only needs to mobilize capital and formulate strategies to start a bloodless war.

The country is not his main battlefield, and his focus is on the outside world.

For example, Liao Kingdom, Xixia...

Capital can defeat a country. Who understands this truth?

No one can understand this era, so Shen An feels a little lonely.

He walked outside the grain store nearby and said with a smile, "Is it from Xu Ran's family?"

There was a man standing inside. He squinted at Shen An. The vigilance in his eyes was so intense that even the dog next to him noticed it and growled at Shen An.

Shen An didn't move, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Behind him, Huang Chun cursed: "Lang Jun calls you, if you can't come out for three breaths, I will smash your shop!"

The man's expression changed slightly, he walked out quickly and saluted, "I was so happy to see Duke Shen, and I was so happy that I was so rude."

"Very happy?"

Shen An looked at him with a smile, and when he nodded, he suddenly asked: "I want to borrow some food, can you?"

"Mr. Shen..."

Xu Ran raised his head, sweat gradually gathered on his forehead, and then white gas appeared on the top of his head, looking like a steamer.

"Ah! Xu Yuanwai used to be reserved. How could he be said to be calm and composed? What's going on?"

"Look, his face is as red as a monkey's butt."

Xu Ran, who was somewhat famous in Daming Mansion, was as nervous as a child in front of Shen An.

"Don't want to?"

Shen An asked with a smile.

Xu Ran's eyelids were twitching, and then someone from the front shouted: "Get out of the way, the judge is coming, get out of the way."

Wang Tong is here?

Shen An didn't look at it, but Xu Ran was overjoyed, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shen, there isn't much food in the little man's shop! If we lend it out, how will the people of Daming Mansion survive?"

"Mr. Shen, what do you want to do?"

Wang Tong dismounted and came quickly.

Shen An glanced at him and said, "You are from Chen Wei, huh?"

Xu Ran couldn't help but change his color and shouted: "Wang Tongpan, help me!"

The position of general judge in Daming Mansion is not low, can you handle Shen An?

When this idea came to Xu Ran's mind, Shen An's smile turned ferocious, and then he waved.

Boom!

With just one punch, Xu Ran fell to the ground. Shen An pointed at the store and said, "Xu Ran conspired to rebel. He rushed in and sealed up his property!"

Wang Tong's eyes turned red, "Shen An, how dare you..."

…

The third update is here, good night.
