When Shen Xiyi saw Yang Chengzu coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She applied ginseng first, and then handed over a few banknotes with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Cen Meng has always been a bastard, and the people under him are just like him, they are all bastards who don't understand etiquette.
You are a nobleman from the capital, and you are not as common as them.
The general does not plead for them, but To be honest, those bastards don't know that you are an imperial envoy, otherwise they would never dare to offend Huwei.
Although Cen Meng has different aspirations, he is not a fool.
He wants to rebel, but he is not really stupid.
Die.
He has promised, tomorrow Please give the imperial envoy a drink to apologize and apologize in person.
The imperial court has decided that if the natives violate the law, the native officials will deal with it.
Retreat.
But the final general I can guarantee that if these people fall into the hands of the chieftain, they will definitely be several times worse than if they fall into your hands.
In the eyes of the imperial envoy, they are human beings, but in the eyes of the chieftain, they can only be regarded as animals, no matter how hard they are. , is not an exaggeration.”
Yang Chengzu did not answer this question, but looked at Shen Xiyi.
Leng Feishuang was afraid that he would be hungry, so he sent a plate of snacks over.
Yang Chengzu pointed at Shen Xiyi, "General Shen, you are welcome, come and have something together.
Listen to the general's words." , seems to be very familiar with those toast affairs.”
Shen Xiyi didn't dare to actually get the snacks.
Seeing the imperial envoy's normal expression, he felt a little more relaxed.
"To be honest, the commander of the capital, Tongzhi Shi, was awarded the command of Fengyi Guards.
Although he is a Han official, most of the people he deals with are natives.
There are also a few native relatives in the family.
The third and fourth mothers in the family are both The natives still know a little about their affairs, so they can be regarded as half natives."
He smiled as if he was self-deprecating.
"In the eyes of the natives, I am still a Han official, and in the eyes of the Han people, I speak for the natives, and I am not good inside or outside.
But the lower official has this bad habit and cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb. , I can't do anything but respect the top and not the bottom.
I know what the imperial envoy means, maybe you want to receive it well.
Pick up Cen Meng and kill Wei Feng, but I still have to say that this cannot be done.
The only way to kill him is to get reliable evidence and ask the court to deal with it.
Using these methods will only make the natives miserable.
With a hostile heart, even if you don’t want to rebel, you will have no choice but to rebel.”
Yang Chengzu explained what he saw and heard in the Qinglou one by one, and finally asked: "General Shen, are these things I heard true, or are they slandered and made up out of nothing?"
"These things are not a frame-up.
In fact, the concubine of a wealthy family came to Cen Meng's barracks personally and asked her to come out.
But after returning home, she was forced to commit suicide by her family.
As for that Auntie, when I went there, the women who escaped from the military camp were already going crazy.
It was me who made the decision to send them back, because Cen Meng promised me to find a husband for each of them and no longer have to do anything.
This would at least be a way of survival for them if they returned home.
The prime minister's power should be taken lightly.
The subordinate thinks that preserving their lives seems to be more important. " "What you said may make sense, and you may have your own reasons, but these are not important.
What I care about is what happened to the men who captured them."
"Every time I go there, Cen Meng will hand over several prisoners to me for execution in the military camp, and sometimes he will hand over the heads directly.
In short, if it is either beating or killing, those who deserve punishment will definitely be punished.
Then Cen Meng went to two wealthy families to make amends, and each family gave them fifty taels of gold.
To put it bluntly, that aunt's worth is not worth fifty taels of gold."

"Oh, General Shen, what you are saying is that because that aunt is not worth fifty taels of gold, Cen Meng's behavior is blameless.
In other words, Cen Meng was wronged."
Shen Xiyi obviously knew that the imperial envoy's words were sarcastic, but she still spoke sincerely and her demeanor did not change.
"This is definitely not something the imperial envoy will like.
I also know that you think I am protecting Cen Meng.
But what I want to say is that a small place, a remote place, is different from the best place in the capital, and it is also different from the prosperous place in Zhejiang Province. .
Those wolf soldiers left their hometowns and traveled from Guangxi to Guangdong.
Their fields would be deserted.
Maybe when they returned home, they would find that a relative had died of starvation because of their expedition.
It is common for families to find out that their wives have given birth to children with other people.
The court's food and salary are not enough, and they have to prepare their own military supplies.
If the wolf soldiers have no complaints in their hearts, then how can they complain?
If the fire is not spread, it may lead to military disaster.
Some people are indeed suffering, but if the wolf soldiers are chilled and not restrained, then more people will suffer. " He pointed to the outside of the city.
"Although it is unusual for Guangzhou City to gather an army of 20,000 people, there are not many who are really capable of fighting.
Apart from the standard camps at the military gate, there must be wolf soldiers who can fight.
Now Foyi on Tuen Mun Island It is said that there are thousands of rebel bandits.
Once the bandits counterattack, they must use wolf soldiers as the vanguard to defeat them.
Look at the map of Tuen Mun.
However, the Buddhists are also stationed in the mountains, and the wolf soldiers are good at fighting in the mountains.
Whether it is self-protection or attacking the island, the wolf soldiers are inseparable from their effectiveness.
The Yi people have sharp firearms.
Once the war begins, many of the wolf soldiers are afraid.
They can never go back to their hometown.
Guangxi is poor and many people will never find a wife, so it is understandable that they try their best to find a woman for themselves. " Yang Chengzu's face gradually turned cold.
"General Shen, what you said means that those women who were kidnapped should say thank you to them for being able to be the wives of the wolf soldiers.
They are the good fortune cultivated in the previous life."
"Imperial envoy, what I mean is that among those wolf soldiers, there are certainly outcasts, and there are also innocent people.
In this regard, there is no difference between wolf soldiers and Han soldiers.
In my Han family, there are also lawbreakers and loyal ones.
Sir.
It is precisely because of this that we have to talk about military law.
If someone breaks the law, he will There is nothing to say about using military law.
But just because there are some misbehaviors, we cannot blame all the wolf soldiers.
Furthermore, Tianzhou is poor and the court is also responsible.
They cannot blame themselves for not being able to marry.
This is not fair to the wolf soldiers or the natives. " He looked at Yang Chengzu's face, but gritted his teeth and said, "As officials, we should not be emotional, but should also consider the overall situation.
What you care about is the reputation of one or two women, and what you will consider in the end is the entire Guangzhou."
The safety of the two countries and the stability of Guangdong and Guangxi.
If the pirates attack the city in large numbers and the wolf soldiers leave in despair, after the fall of Guangzhou, will those women be able to survive and the thieves will come ashore, and how many village women will be harmed by Cen's leadership?
Tianzhou has been deeply supported for many years.
If his face is peeled off and the natives hate the Han Guan as their enemies, Cen Meng will definitely take the opportunity to incite the natives to rebel.
If it leads to a mutiny, it will be even more difficult for the victims.
The odds are stacked against you.
We can't ruin the important affairs of the imperial court and put Guangdong and Guangxi into a war.

I dare to offend you.
Please release Huang De and others.
I promise to let Cen Meng give you an explanation."
Those two women were just prosperous women who came out to be sold, and there were no decent people in the city to back them up.
Even if they were kidnapped and killed by the wolf soldiers, the most they would have to pay was a sum of money, and Qunfangyuan would give up. pursue.
What's more, the situation is not that bad now, it is nothing more than a troublemaker.
Shen Xiyi pointed out the overall situation of stability in Guangdong and Guangxi, and ensured that the wolf soldiers would not go to Qunfang Court to cause trouble in the future, and Yang Chengzu would not be able to talk.
At this moment, Leng Feishuang came in from outside and handed a few pieces of paper to Yang Chengzu.
Yang Chengzu glanced at it for a few times, with a sneer on his face, "I'm sorry, General Shen, I'm afraid I can't give you this face, and I'm afraid Cen Meng can't give you this explanation.
Look at this."
The paper in his hand was Huang De's confession and the final signature.
It admitted that the concubine of a wealthy family was captured from the Lantern Festival and taken to the military camp by a dozen of him.
At the bottom of the confession, there are crosses drawn by Huang De and hand molds stamped on them
