"Boss, cut me three catties of good lean meat and wrap it up."
On the East Street of Baima Pass in the Far East Empire, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant spoke to the vendor at the pork stall.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Seeing this middle-aged man asking for three catties of high-quality lean meat as soon as he opened his mouth, the pork vendor also smiled happily and picked up the meat-cutting knife to cut the meat.
"Have you heard that Chen is going to deal with the general defending Baima Pass, Wang Cheng?"
While the middle-aged servant was waiting for the time for the butcher to cut the meat, suddenly the sound of several people talking came from a nearby tea shop for people to rest.
The content of this conversation was related to Wang Cheng, the head of his family's legion, and the middle-aged man couldn't help pricking up his ears.
"Then Wang Cheng is the founding hero of the Far Eastern Empire. What is Chen doing with him?"
"The feats of founding the country are true, but Wang Cheng used to be a member of the previous dynasty. Do you think Chen will trust him?" the man whispered.
"That's true, but Wang Cheng holds a legion and guards the White Horse Pass, so the surname Chen probably wouldn't dare to act rashly."
"The one surnamed Chen dare not touch Wang Cheng rashly, but he has plenty of means."
"Did you know that a Jinyiwei inspection team arrived at Baima Pass recently, and it was aimed at the generals under Wang Cheng's command."
"As long as Wang Cheng's wings are cut off, Wang Cheng will not be far from death."
"The one surnamed Chen is really outrageous. Wang Cheng has made great contributions to the establishment of the empire. Now that the empire is stable, he even pointed his knife at the meritorious general."
"Hey, what is this, this Chen is very cruel."
"At the beginning, he was just a small battalion under the command of the commander-in-chief Chen Ru, but after he became full-fledged, he directly drove the commander-in-chief Chen Ru down, and even forcibly married the other party's daughter, Chen Xiaoyu ¡±
"Bah, this Chen is really not a thing!"
"Hush, keep your voice down."
The two were talking in a low voice, while the middle-aged man who bought the meat was shocked.
After he took the three catties of high-quality lean meat from the second-hand store, he didn't bother to listen to the conversation between the two, and hurried back to the palace.
Lieutenant General Wang Cheng is currently serving as the commander of the Fourth Field Army, guarding Baima Pass, the eastern gateway of the Far Eastern Empire.
So Wang Cheng also settled his home in Baimaguan, which is a big house with three entrances and three exits.
In addition to some familiar guards standing guard at the gate of the palace, there were also a few more Jinyi guards wearing brocade clothes and embroidered spring knives on their waists.
Seeing these Jinyiwei soldiers with serious faces and murderous looks all over their bodies, the servant of the palace also knew that they were not good people, so there was a little more hostility in his eyes.
After sending the purchased three catties of lean meat into the kitchen, the servant found the butler of the palace, and quickly told the butler what he had heard on the street.
"Don't spread this matter to outsiders."
After hearing this, the housekeeper's expression became extremely solemn, and he told the servant not to spread the word, and he will personally report it to the army commander Wang Cheng.
At this moment, Wang Cheng, the head of the legion, is receiving the Jinyiwei inspection team from afar in the mansion, although the other party is only a low-level official of the seventh rank.
But Jin Yiwei represents the emperor after all, and they are now inspected by the Fifth Field Army Corps, so they can go straight to heaven.
Although Wang Cheng, the commander of the army, is on the eastern border of the Far Eastern Empire, he still has heard a little about what happened in the court.
He knows that the imperial court is launching a vigorous anti-corruption campaign, and the inspection team of Jinyiwei is also here for this reason.
After all, the Fifth Field Army Corps guards the eastern border. This is an important military town, so the court also pays special attention to it.
"The Fifth Field Army Corps will fully cooperate with the inspection team to conduct internal inspections."
Wang Cheng, head of the fifth field army, also expressed his opinion to the inspection team of Jinyiwei, expressing his support for the court's decision.
"At that time, the Fifth Army Corps will need to hold a meeting of officers above the banner and battalion commander to convey His Majesty's will." Said the leader of the inspection team of Jinyiwei.
Wang Cheng suggested: "You guys are tired from the journey today, why don't you rest first, how about the officer meeting tomorrow?"
"The guest is up to the owner, and everything is up to the commander of the legion." The leader of the inspection team of Jinyiwei said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys rest first, I'll let someone prepare some food and drinks to clean up the dust for you all."
??Your Majesty is being polite, but we want everything to be simple, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to wait to explain to the court. "
"That's natural, it's just some rough food."
After greeting the members of the Jinyiwei inspection team for a while, the head of the legion, Wang Cheng, took his leave and left.
"Master, I have something important to report."
Legion Commander Wang Cheng had just returned to his study and was about to send someone to the various banner regiments to order them to send officers above the banner battalion commander to a meeting tomorrow, when the butler knocked on the door and came in.
"what's the matter?"
Seeing the dignified butler, Wang Cheng, a veteran, was also full of doubts.
After all, the butler is only in charge of some small things in the mansion, so it stands to reason that there are no big things to speak of.
"Master, just now a servant heard important news outside, and I think it is necessary to report it to you."
The housekeeper looked at the guards standing outside the study door, they were all personal guards of Wang Cheng's most loyal ministers.
"Master, I heard that the Jinyiwei inspection team is here for you this time."
"Where did you start talking about this?"
"It is rumored that His Majesty wants to use the name of punishing corruption to cut off dissidents and eliminate some heroes who threaten him. You came from the southern army of the previous dynasty, and now you are holding a large army and guarding the eastern border."
"So His Majesty sent the Jinyiwei inspection team here to punish corruption in name, but in fact, he wanted to take the lead in getting rid of some of your direct generals in the army. After cutting off your wings, he will take you away in one fell swoop." Down."
After hearing the butler's words, although Wang Cheng, the veteran's face was calm, there was a huge wave in his heart.
"This matter must be a rumor, don't believe it, lest you fall into the enemy's tricks."
Although he was shocked, Wang Cheng waved his hands in disbelief.
"Master"
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, how can you do what the relatives hurt the enemy, so there is no need to worry." Wang Cheng squeezed out a smile.
"If you don't have anything else to do, go down first. Keep an eye on the kitchen. Don't overdo it, just be simple and delicate."
"No."
Seeing Wang Cheng, the head of the army, looking confident, the housekeeper couldn't say anything more, so he said goodbye.
After the butler went out, the smile on Wang Cheng's face also disappeared, replaced by a serious expression on his face.
Although he said that what the steward heard were rumors, he was not sure whether it was actually true.
He paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully about the possibility of this matter.
After all, rumors are spread with nose and eyes, and it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.
If the emperor Chen Zi'ang really wanted to take advantage of the name of punishing corruption to cut off dissidents, as a veteran of the previous dynasty, now he is holding a heavy army, it is estimated that he will not be spared.
After thinking of this, Wang Cheng also suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, which made him irritable. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
