Chapter 563 Military Meeting and Admonition
"Yu Shanglin bought the Golden Gun and wrote a letter to Liu Huai'en, and has been working ever since.
At night, he took the medicine and went to find his concubine Lian'er.
When the two were about to... do that, a servant suddenly came to report that the adopted son Zhao Bufan had been arrested. Then he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. When he came to the palace, he was detained in the study and had to write a confession.
Lian'er knew that the county magistrate was doomed. With your personality, the county magistrate would definitely not survive.
So he quickly changed his clothes and ran away, preparing to avoid the limelight before choosing another target.
As a result, he was held down by the shadow guards as soon as he went out. "
Dai Xing finished speaking in one breath, put down his confession, and looked at Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong turned his head and looked at everyone, blinked and said,
"I remember that this incident started out as just a case of a lecher molesting a woman, right?
How did it suddenly become a major case of treason and theft of state secrets overnight?
But it just so happened that this time it was he, the county magistrate, who was in trouble.
I happened to return here last night, and Que Ling and Wan'er happened to be teased, and then I captured that playboy.
The playboy confessed that his adoptive father was the county magistrate, so I sent people to stake out the county magistrate's mansion, and ended up staking out a big fish that was frightened and ran away.
The case was solved overnight.
What a coincidence.”
Dai Xing immediately flattered,
"It's all thanks to the prince's wisdom and keen observation. If we hadn't caught that woman, the county magistrate might not have confessed this matter."
"Well, let me take a look at what else this county governor has done."
The county magistrate gave the most confessions, which were densely packed with one item after another, and were shocking.
"Son of a bitch, this guy deserves to be tortured to death. Do you have the original confession?"
"Your Highness, this is the original copy, signed and sealed."
"Alright, pass the word. Take these three men to the county magistrate's jail. Also, immediately arrest the other twelve adopted sons. Interrogate them rigorously and behead them in public on the following day."
"As ordered!"
"Send a message to all the commanders and deputy commanders of the six legions, the commander of the Shenji Camp, and the main general Gao Ce. All of them should go to the Zhennan Army's headquarters. This king and the Southern King will hold a meeting with them.
Today, I will not only spur them on, but I will also have to discipline this Southern King."
"As ordered!"
Dai Xing immediately sent someone to pass on the order. In an instant, all the soldiers in the city were mobilized to arrest people.
The Shenji Battalions of the various legions outside the city also received the news and immediately rushed to the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army.
After Shen Changgong finished his meal, he took the three confessions and the three women out of the house and took a carriage to the military camp.
……
Inside the Zhennan Army camp, the King of the South had just finished his meal when he saw the commanders, deputy commanders, and the commander of the Shenji Camp coming in one after another. He was a little confused.
"Are you all idle and have nothing to do? What are you doing here?"
Yu Huatian clasped his hands and said,
"Your Highness, it was Prince Lanling who ordered us all to come here immediately for a meeting."
"A meeting? But what's going on in the south?"
"I'm not sure about that. We only heard one thing: the county magistrate was captured by the prince last night."
"The county magistrate was arrested? What happened?"
“I don’t know the details.”
"Okay, everyone, sit down. When Shen Changgong arrives, we'll know what he's up to."
Everyone sat down on both sides, talking in low voices, not knowing what was going on.
Suddenly, Liu Huai'en, the commander of the Shenji Battalion of the Yuying Army, stood up and said,
"Last night when I returned to the barracks, a soldier handed me an invitation saying that the county governor wanted to invite me to dinner at his residence.
It was too late at the time so I didn't reply, and then the county magistrate was arrested last night. Are these two things related?"
Ma Ling was keenly aware of the problem and said,
"He's a local governor, why would he invite you, an officer of the Central Army, to dinner?"
"I don't know. The invitation says they're inviting me to dinner. I plan to ask Yu Shuai today whether I should go. After all, the military and the local government shouldn't be too deeply involved. But we're in the same place, so we're considered brother units. If I don't go, it would be embarrassing.
As a result, the county magistrate was arrested before I could even ask you."
"Well, go get that invitation right now, Zhang Han, and go with him!"
Ma Ling asked Zhang Han to go with him to prevent him from swapping the invitations.
"As ordered!"
The two of them immediately went out, mounted their horses, and quickly rushed to the Yuying Army's camp. After picking up the invitation, they immediately rode back at full speed.
As soon as they dismounted, Shen Changgong's carriage arrived at the military camp.
Shen Changgong brought Yu Ziling, Gongsun Wan'er and Tu Que Ling, got off the carriage and walked into the general's tent.
Everyone stood up and saluted.
"Sit, everyone, sit down."
Shen Changgong sat on the chair next to Ma Ling, Yu Ziling sat on one side, and the two women stood behind him.
Ma Ling picked up the teacup and said leisurely,
"Prince Shen is really arrogant. He made me and so many generals wait for you for so long. What terrible thing happened?"
"It's a big deal, you horse prince, I haven't bothered you yet, but you're the first to bother me?"
"What have I done wrong? What trouble can you cause?"
Shen Changgong said,
"Where is Liu Huai'en, the commander of the Yuying Army's Divine Machine Battalion?"
Liu Huai'en immediately stood up and walked to the middle.
"The end will be here."
"Did you bring the invitation the sheriff gave you yesterday?"
"Your Highness, I have it. When I arrived just now, I heard that the county magistrate had been arrested. I thought it might be related to the letter I wrote to him, so I immediately went to get it."
"Bring it here."
"Yes."
After Shen Changgong opened it and took a look, he found that it only invited Liu Huai'en to attend a banquet at the county magistrate's mansion, and did not say anything else.
The words were sincere and enthusiastic.
He asked,
"Liu Huai'en, what do you think about this matter? If the county magistrate hadn't been arrested, would you have attended the banquet?"
Liu Huai'en immediately knelt on one knee and said,
"Your Majesty, I will first ask the Marshal for permission. If the Marshal agrees, then I will go. If not, then I will not go.
Even if I were to go, I would never do anything that would harm the interests of the army."
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"In the future, we will add another rule to the military regulations: no local official may entertain military commanders without reason. Any collusion between the military and the government will be punished."
"As ordered!"
Everyone was shocked and agreed in unison.
Yu Huatian asked,
"Your Highness, what happened that made you so cautious?"
Shen Changgong smiled leisurely, took the three confessions, looked at everyone, and told them everything in detail.
This story is very long, and everyone was stunned after listening to it.
Zhang Han had the most violent temper. He immediately slapped his chair, stood up, and said,
"Damn it! This damned county governor actually dared to collaborate with the enemy and even planned to take our artillery. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
