Mulan Has No Elder Brother

Chapter 320: Can't be human

Views:

It was said that after Gao Shen got out of the prison of the Prefect's Mansion, he went straight to the main courtyard where Wang Jin was.

Gao Shen's status in Chang'an City is very embarrassing, and it is an embarrassment that is difficult to solve.

He was originally a member of the Xianbei army, and the Gao family was also a strong family in the north, so as soon as he entered the army, it was smooth sailing, and he brought his family soldiers to mix a lot of military achievements. When Emperor Wei conquered the Xia Kingdom, he won the position of vanguard general that everyone envied, and took the lead in following several generals to capture Chang'an City.

Afterwards, he was recommended by Tuobasu, King of Changshan, in the discussion of merit and deeds, and was given by Emperor Wei as the general of Zhenshu to manage the security of Chang'an. At this time, he was only twenty-six years old.

It is a pity that King Changshan was sent by His Majesty to Tongwan to be the general of Tongwancheng, and Chang'an City was sent to guard another general. After being sent to Chang'an, his identity was naturally extremely embarrassing.

However, his official position was conferred by Tuoba Tao himself, and Wang Jin would not be able to transfer him and replace him with his own.

Only at this time did Gao Shen understand that the recommendation of King Changshan for him is actually a trick and game of the superiors. When others are here, they will always be grateful for the kindness of King Changshan, and even if King Changshan guards Tongwan, he will not lose it. Learn about Chang'an's intelligence sources.

Gao Shen was originally just a military general, but he was involved in the strife in the officialdom, and he was also secretly complaining in his heart, even if he wanted to be transferred by himself. However, the commander of Zhenshu is called "School Commander". In fact, he is a real lack of military generals of the top five grades in the local area. Not only is he high in status, but he is also fat. Day's filial piety is also staggering.

But Gao Shen knew that he could not leave a clue for Wang Jin to seize, and that it was a small matter to lose his official position. With this kind of cruelty in the high-level struggle, his life would be lost in the blink of an eye, so not only did Gao Shen have no greed for ink, but he could not even restrain the generals. If you disturb the people, you should not cause trouble, otherwise, you will be punished for fifty.

Even a man in the army with a staff of fifty can kill him. His subordinates originally thought that he was a hot drinker behind Colonel Zhenshu, and he could exploit them in the hands of the commoners even if he was bad. Such a general who is like a master of the blue sky falling from the sky is simply regretting his bowels.

Not only that, Gao Shen even personally inspected the security of Chang'an City every day, but no small, thieves, and rebels will be tolerated. His daytime inspections are not counted, and he personally leads the team to inspect the curfew at night, lest there be a slight dereliction of duty.

Since he served as the commander of the township in Chang'an, if nothing else, the life of the people at the bottom has been much better. When everyone saw him, they respectfully called him "General Gao". They would go to the yamen to seek justice from him.

Everyone exaggerates lofty and noble conduct, but in fact only he himself knows that this is not his original intention. He came from a local tyrant and was used to seeing the weak eat the strong. How could he have such a bodhisattva heart? If it wasn't for Wang Jin and Wang Jin's subordinates who would be eyeing him, and the King of Changshan and his family outside to provide him with support, he would have been driven mad long ago if there were no people inside and outside.

Therefore, the more the outsiders praised him and regarded him as a "high scholar", the more his subordinates hated him, and Wang Jin, his immediate boss who couldn't scrape the oil, and did not see the deep scrap, regarded him as a thorn in the flesh. , If it wasn't for the high-level actions that were not inappropriate, and the reputation is now unbelievably high, Wang Jin would have ordered someone to kill him long ago.

If you want to talk about why Wang Jin is so arrogant, you must talk about this person's background. Why didn't even Changshan King Tuobasu and Gao Shen dare to provoke him.

Wang Jin did not gain military merit by fighting. He was successful in supervising the construction of engineering equipment during the summer expedition. Then he was promoted from Jiqiu Hou to Huainan Duke, and stayed to guard Chang'an, becoming a local official and general.

In fact, Chang’an was already well-governed. Helianding abandoned the city and left, and Chang’an City hardly suffered any damage from the war. Wang Jin’s taking over Chang’an was much easier than Tuobasu’s taking over Tongwan. .

Wang Jin was able to get the agreement of the Chang'an guarding generals, which is naturally a valuable status. His mother-in-law is the younger sister of the late emperor, the cousin of the current emperor Tuoba Tao, and the aunt of the current Montenegrin general Tuoba Ti. This princess and Tuoba's father Tuoba Yao are a compatriot.

Why do you say aunt? Because the princess had no children, Wang Jin was born by a maid and was brought up by the princess. There may be some problems with the blood of the Wang family. When Wang Jin's father died, there was only this old man, and Wang Jin's uncle did not have a son until he died. Therefore, Wang Jin inherited the titles of his father and his uncle, and he was supported by one person. With two doors.

This princess was very favored when she was in the palace in the past, and when she married the Wang family, who was the descendant, she was even more so in the royal family. She didn't have children, but she raised him Wang Jin from a young age. Naturally, she doted on this child very much, and planned for him everywhere, which allowed him to reach the level of the king without any danger.

Perhaps born of a maidservant, Wang Jin's bearing and appearance are nothing like his father's. Due to being overly spoiled, his martial arts and literary talents are mediocre. But he is very good at employing people, and has unique skills in supervising the construction of engineering equipment and scheduling logistics, which is why he was appointed by Tuoba Tao.

This Wang Jin has a problem that the son of a wealthy aristocratic family usually does not have - love of money. This made the Duke of Huainan and the prefect of Chang'an annoying.

Everyone thought that Chang'an's general of the Zhenjun was the most profitable position. In fact, because of this position being watched by countless people, Wang Jin did not dare to open his hands to search for it, nor did he dare to oppress the people under his rule too much. But this is not the case with the commander of the Zhenshu, who is in charge of public security and corvée. This position is the most suitable for scavenging the people and the people. They are often the confidants of the generals of the Zhenjun, providing financial resources for the prefect or the generals, and the generals shelter him from the wind and rain. , to quell public grievances.

In this way, "it's not the corruption/corruption of the official, but the one at the top who is deceived", every ordinary person thinks so, and the general of the town army can sit firmly. When the money is enough, the public grievances have reached a great point, and if I think of a way to remove the commander of Zhenshu, and sit in another person, the public grievances will naturally subside.

This cycle is the so-called "convention".

As for the fate of the dismissed Colonel Zhenshu, it depends on the relationship with the General Zhenjun and how the General Zhenjun will protect him.

Anyway, the money has been made, and the family is also rich, and only one person is punished, this business could not be better.

Perhaps Tuoba Tao saw that Wang Jin loved wealth, or perhaps Tuoba Su, the king of Changshan, was unwilling to riot in Chang'an. All in all, Gao Shen, a cautious and cautious person, was placed in the seat of Zhenshu Colonel.

Wang Jinzhen even wanted to chop up Gaoshen to feed the dogs in his dreams at night, but during the day he still smiled and praised him for his "diligent work" and "hard work". Every day, countless cronies stared at Gaoshen and put Gaoshen in their sights. Forced not to act like prostitutes, not to bully, and to enforce the law more impartially, almost to be a perfect person.

After a long time, not to mention the high and deep tiredness, Wang Jin and the group of people behind Wang Jin are also tired.

Gao Shen was even more frightened than Wang Jin, because a person acting too much would really be affected.

He has been nurtured by a powerful family since he was a child, and is used to everyone being afraid of him. Wherever he goes, everyone respects him, loves him, and pursues him from the bottom of his heart. After a while, he thinks that such a life is not bad!

This problem is terrible. Wei's officialdom was in a mess, Pingcheng was fine, but the local area was smoky. A person with a truly noble character would not be able to survive.

Gao Shen now has King Changshan as his backing, so he can be so maverick, but if he is transferred to another place in the future, but he gets a reputation as "honored", his career is almost equivalent to breaking, whether it is a boss or a colleague, Will try to suppress him.

The deep inner torment and pain are completely incomprehensible to outsiders. In terms of human nature, everyone naturally likes others to like him and love him, and he can also be an upright and sympathetic person. But realistically speaking, if a person does not have an extremely powerful status and identity, and becomes so "aloof and refined", then there is only one way to go as a "martyr".

Gao Shen didn't want to be a martyr, Gao Shen wanted to escape.

So when Chen Jie next to Helian Zhishui took out the trump card, Gao Shen knew that his chance had come.

Hu Ben Zuo Sima, Hu Wei General, and Hua Mulan have been artificially shaped into a new generation of "God of War" by Tuoba Tao and a group of Xianbei forces after the battle of Zirouran.

The most sought after general for this general was not his bravery, but Tuoba Tao's trust and care for him like a real brother.

Hua Mulan is only twenty-one years old now, and she has already led an army, but she has no direct line. The so-called fortune will be in the small period, this general will say in the future that he will not be an extremely talented minister. If he does not climb up now, he will not be able to get together in the future.

Gao Shen did his best and showed his bold face, all because he had heard that the general liked to deal with bold men. So while he solved the Qiang affairs with great means, he sold the general as well. He clearly knew that the Lu Shuihu people had a lot of money behind them, but he didn't even touch them.

As long as General Hua has his favor here, if he asks General Hua for help, he will definitely not stand by with the general's reputation.

In this way, Gao Shen is confident that he can make friends with this general, and indirectly leave this "high position" that makes him conservative and tormented.

In a way that isn't a Reservoir Dog.

Gao Shen arranged everything, and even paid for the "brothers" in the prison out of his own pocket, just waiting to report the matter to Wang Jin, even if it was done.

He also thought very clearly that if he was willing to give Wang Jin the credit for capturing the "Qiang people" in this way, with Wang Jin's character, it was impossible not to accept it. Gao Shen doesn't want any reward, he just wants to get on Hua Mulan's downwind boat. As for credit, fame and fortune, compared with life, everything is a cloud.

Gao Shen has calculated everything, but he can't calculate the human heart.

Prefect's House.

Wang Jin, who was woken up in the middle of the night, was naturally not very good-tempered, especially the person who woke him up was the person he hated the most.

But the thing reported by the person he hated the most was too important, so important that he gradually sat upright and listened clearly with his ears sideways.

After Gao Shen's report, Wang Jin sent a few confidants to the prison to inquire, but after a while, a few confidants came back and said something in Wang Jin's ear.

As soon as Wang Jin heard the words of a few confidants, a strange figure flashed in his eyes, and his expression became strange when he looked at Gao Shen.

Gao Shen was struggling to make a living under Wang Jin, and he naturally knew his every move very well.

"The last general just happened to be at the right meeting. During the night patrol, I happened to meet the general Hua who was in Weifu. If it wasn't for the general's earnest teaching, the last general would not have this understanding. This matter is all the general's work, the last general..."

"Don't talk about this..." Wang Jin waved his hand indifferently: "Who else knows the identity of this Hua Mulan except you?"

Gao Shen thought that Wang Jin was afraid that someone would know about his robbery, and he did take precautions before, but it was to protect Hua Mulan's safety, and immediately said loudly: "The subordinates of the last general just thought they were catching the murderer with weapons. The gangsters don't know the identity of General Hua. But they probably misunderstood the relationship between the late general and the leader of Lu Shuihu, so they took care of them like this..."

"good very good!"

Wang Jin narrowed his eyes, propped his chin and said, "Does Hua Mulan carry all the Tiger Ben army?"

"It's not the Hu Ben army, but a group of hired Lushuihu people."

Seeing that he asked so carefully, Gao Shen was overjoyed, "So Hua Sima must be grateful for the general's kindness. This is a great hero, and making friends with him will be of great benefit to the general!"

"Lu Shuihu? Hua Mulan is really as rumored, and the foundation is so weak..."

Wang Jin sneered, as if he finally understood the profound thoughts, and asked him again.

"How much softness and weapons did those Qiang people carry?"

Gao Shen's eyes darkened, knowing that Wang Jin wanted to swallow all these treasures.

But these treasures have been distributed to the subordinates, but the weapons and weapons have been confiscated and put into the public treasury. It is impossible for the subordinates to spit out the money and jewelry, and they have to pay for it themselves.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen gritted his teeth painfully: "I have about one hundred taels of silver."

Although his family was rich, he didn't have much money on him. One hundred taels of silver was all he could get together.

"Well, you are so profound, you dare to lie to me! You obviously have several hundred catties of gold!"

Wang Jin slapped the case and cursed loudly.

"Someone, take this corrupt official who stole huge sums of money and bit the wealthy merchants in the Western Regions as thieves!" Before Wang Jin's voice could finish, a dozen or so sturdy warriors jumped out from behind, and threw their five-bodied bodies into the ground, unable to move at all.

"What kind of gold? Where can there be gold? General, don't listen to people's nonsense! I usually don't greedy for a grain of rice or a sliver of ink, so how can I embezzle huge sums of money!"

Gao Shen felt a chill in his heart, knowing that either Wang Jin's greed problem had occurred, or something had changed. What he was most afraid of was that Wang Jin's faction just didn't deal with Hua Mulan, which coincided with Hua Mulan's departure from Beijing and no military prime minister. Hu, what a terrible thought came up.

No matter what kind it is, Gao Shen can't escape death today.

Wang Jin will not be left alive!

Blame him for trying to curry favor, but instead he lost his life. If he saves Hua Mulan, let her go, don't give birth to so much greed...

No, Wang Jin wanted to kill him a long time ago, but there was no excuse. Now that he has it, no matter whether Hua Mulan leaves or not, as long as he takes down the Qiang people, he can put him on the charge of "putting on the blame and taking money".

This idiot doesn't matter what kind of anti-thief is not anti-thief, he has nothing in his mind except gold and silver treasures!

Your Majesty mistake me!

The world got me wrong!

Gao Shen struggled unwillingly, but the more he struggled, the harder the others pressed. After a while, he ran out of strength and could only crawl under Wang Jin's feet like a dead dog.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. My grandmother told me before that if you can't move someone you hate, you just need to wait. When he is the most proud, that is, when his wish is fulfilled, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it a little bit. ."

Wang Jin poked Gao Shen's forehead with his toes and sneered.

"Emissary Gao? Lord Gao? Gao Qingtian? Are you worthy too?"

Wang Jin's face was hideous, as if the old hatred from the past had come to his heart, he raised his foot and stomped on Gao Shen's head, making him almost faint.

"Well, I'm the prince, I can't get my hands and feet dirty for a lowly person like you." Wang Jin nervously retracted his feet, and gave a few words to the people around him.

Lying high on the ground, I vaguely heard things like "arson", "gold", etc. Because of the pain, my mind was blurred, and there was no half of my usual intelligence at all.

Wang Jin seemed to think that this matter should not be turbulent again, so he reached out and ordered a few guards with high martial arts skills to come out.

"You have dealt with the high school lieutenant, remember to deal with it cleanly, and said to the outside world that they were killed by the Lushuihu people. What weapons did the Lushuihu people use?"

"Mostly knives, my lord."

"Then kill with a knife, don't splatter blood everywhere. After killing it, throw it to the Lushuihu people, and you will come back and return to your life."

Wang Jin glanced at Gao Shen with contempt.

"Drag it out, let me be an eyesore when I live, and let me die away when I die."

"Yes!"
