Jia Ke looked at him contemptuously from above, and said, "Are you still thinking about the future? According to military regulations, you left the castle privately, and you should be punished as a spy. What else do you have to say now?"

The chief secretary was taken aback for a moment, then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he scanned all the things Jia Ke did when he came to Anpingwei, and he completely understood it all at once.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen into Jia Ke's trick. Jia Ke asked him for the account book, not for the purpose of checking the account, but to make him panic and flee to Xuanfu Town for help.

And Kaipingwei is in the army, not in the local area. Military law is enforced here. As long as there is no order from Jia Ke, if he dares to step out of Kaipingwei without permission, then Jia Ke can ask for his head in any name, even His family members will not be spared either, they will all be demoted to official slaves.After thinking through the cause and effect of this, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

Chapter 72 Beheading

Jia Ke was condescending, looking down at Master Wang who was lying limp on the ground below, with a cold smile on his face.

At this time, Master Wang seemed to wake up suddenly, he got up and knelt forward a few steps.Facing Jia Ke above, he wailed and said: "My lord, it was the little one who was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. Please take my lord's life for the sake of the magistrate of Xuanfu Town. In the next life, I will be a bull and a horse. Repay my lord."

Jia Ke looked at Master Wang's pitiful appearance below, without a trace of pity in his heart.He said to him coldly: "Military law is ruthless. Although you are an official in the same dynasty as me, I can't bend the law for personal gain. If you want to blame, you shouldn't have violated military regulations and left the castle privately. Now I can't save you."

Then Jia Ke ordered: "Come here."

Zheng Kai immediately led several people to kneel down in front of Jia Ke, and replied loudly in unison: "I don't know what your lord has ordered."

Jia Ke looked at them and said, "Wang Wan violated the military regulations and should be beheaded according to the law. Now push him down and behead him to report."

Zheng Kai and the others immediately replied loudly: "I will obey your command." After speaking, they rushed forward and dragged Wang Wan to the center of the teaching field.

There was already a swordsman waiting there. Zheng Kai ordered someone to press Wang Wan's head on a big wooden stake, and the body was also held down by a big man. Although Wang Wan struggled desperately, she couldn't move an inch. Wan had been fixed, so he took up the knife and fell, chopping off Wang Wan's head to the ground with one knife.

Then Zheng Kai put Wang Wan's head on a wooden tray, and quickly walked up the reading platform with his hands in his hands.

Arriving at the reading platform, he knelt down on one knee, lifted the wooden plate high above his head, and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, here is the head of the criminal Wang Wan. Please have a look."

Jia Ke looked down, and saw a bloody human head in the wooden tray, with eyes open with death.Jia Ke only felt sick for a while, but she still had to pretend to be calm, without showing a trace of expression on her face.He said indifferently to Zheng Kai: "Hang Wang Wan's head on a high pole to show the public. It will serve as an example to others, and let the whole thousand households remember not to do it again, otherwise Wang Wan will be their role model."

Zheng Kai replied loudly: "I would like to obey your lord's order." After saying that, he went down.

Jia Ke went on to say: "According to the military regulations, all Wang Wan's family members will be reduced to official slaves. Serve before the army."

This treatment shocked the soldiers below. They never expected that the seemingly thick-eyed Lord Qianhu would act so hotly. Since then, everyone has been careful and strictly abides by military regulations. He no longer dared to disobey Jia Ke's orders.And the twenty hundred households also completely surrendered to Jia Ke.

From then on, Jia Ke took full control of Kaiping Guard and became the absolute authority in Kaiping Guard.

In fact, Jia Ke was assigned to Kaipingwei at this time, and the timing was just right.Kaiping Weizhong Zhengyin Qianhu was assassinated, and the two deputy Qianhus were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they were transferred away one after another.The biggest one in the army is nothing more than a master bookkeeper, so he was given the opportunity to fully control Kaipingwei. In the future, even if he came to deputy Qianhu, he could only obey orders and had no chance to resist.

Then Jia Ke ordered again: "Today's review is here, and each of the hundred households returns to the camp in order. There must be no rules."

After speaking, he stood on the stage and watched the hundreds of households leave the teaching field one by one.It wasn't until the last hundred households left that he stepped down, got on his horse and went back to the mansion.

Jia Ke returned to the Qianhu Mansion and began to deal with the aftermath of the matter. He beheaded the army chief in public and had to give an explanation to the Shangguan.

Jia Ke wrote a letter to Xuanfu Town Jiedu envoy Wang Tao in the study.The letter stated that Wang Wan, as the chief bookkeeper in the army, withheld military pay, corrupted the law, and left Kaipingwei without approval. He was suspected of being a spy.For the sake of rectifying military law and establishing military discipline, he was executed on the spot.At the same time, Wang Wan embezzled money, a total of 2 taels of silver, and sent it to the Jiedu Envoy, please consider it.And also said in the letter that Kaipingwei is still short of two deputy thousand households and the master book.My lord, please replenish the manpower quickly.

Then he wrapped the envelope and sealed it with wax.Get someone to call Liu Yu here.

Not long after, Liu Yu came to the study, saluted Jia Ke and said, "I don't know if the master asked me to come and ask for something."

Jia Ke handed the letter to Liu Yu and said, "Take this letter and go to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in Xuanfu Town, and hand this letter to Mr. Jiedu Envoy Wang in person, and at the same time go to the warehouse to withdraw 2 taels of silver, Send it to the Jiedushi's residence."

Liu Yu took the letter respectfully and was about to leave.

Jia Ke sensed that something was wrong and called him back again.After thinking about it, he said: "Take another twenty of your own soldiers, fully armed. Escort these silver, don't be careless on the way, go early and return early."

Liu Yu bowed again and said to Jia Ke: "I will be careful, and I will not disappoint you."

Jia Ke nodded and let him go with confidence.

For the next few days, Kaipingwei had nothing serious to do.Jia Ke has been thinking in the room about training the Macedonian phalanx for the troops.Although the Macedonian phalanx is relatively simple to train, it requires stronger discipline, which is exactly what Kaipingwei lacks.

After much deliberation, Jia Ke decided to promote it in the whole army, based on her experience when training the soldiers in Xiacao Village.This will strengthen the discipline and obedience of the army, and the most important thing is to stamp his brand of Jia Ke.He can completely control this army.

This matter should not be rushed. In two days, all the hundreds of households will be called together and a meeting will be held.In determining this matter.As for the manpower of the training army, let the personal soldiers go down and train 50 people each, just like he trained the personal soldiers back then.

But before that, we still have to wait for the letter from Jiedu envoy Wang Tao to see how Wang Wan will deal with this matter in the end.

Not to mention that Jia Ke is here thinking about what to do next.But on this day, Jiedu envoy Wang Tao was handling official business in the mansion, and suddenly heard a report from his servants, saying that it was Jia Ke, a thousand households of Kaipingwei, who sent someone to deliver a letter.

Wang Tao was very surprised to hear this. The small thousand households in Kaipingwei have been there for less than a month. If there is something to write to him in person, it may be because of an urgent military situation.So he didn't dare to neglect, and asked people to bring the messenger.

Wang Tao met Liu Yu in the lobby in Jiedu. After seeing Liu Yu, he found that his face was calm, and he didn't seem to be vigilant about the military situation.I felt a little displeased, even though it was said that Kaipingwei was under the direct control of his Jiedu Mansion, but he couldn't report all the big and small things to him.

But now that the man has come, he still has to see him. After all, his master, Jia Ke, is also a dignitary in Beijing, so he can't be too offended.

Seeing Jiedu Envoy Wang Tao, Liu Yu immediately knelt down on one knee, held Jia Ke's letter high above his head, and said to Wang Tao: "I was ordered by my lord to deliver the letter to Jiedu Envoy. There is also a batch of goods An adult is required to sign for it."

Wang Tao felt a little strange, could it be that Jia Ke gave him a gift, said that he took the letter, and opened it to watch on the spot.

After reading Jia Ke's letter, he was shocked.I didn't expect this little doll to have such courage.As soon as he went to Kaipingwei, he killed the chief book to establish his military prestige.It looked like he had completely controlled Kaipingwei, and it seemed that he had underestimated him at the time.

Then I looked down and found that he had sent himself 2 taels of silver.He nodded involuntarily, it seems that this little guy still knows etiquette very well, and the children of other aristocratic families came to practice, and his eyes can grow on his head.He doesn't pay attention to people at all, and he, the Jiedushi, has also been looked down upon by them.Not to mention giving gifts, it would be nice if he didn't spend money.

But Jia Ke is completely opposite to them. Not only does he know the etiquette, but he is very respectful to him as a military envoy. Count him in.

Chapter 73 Military Discussion

At the end of Jia Ke's letter, he also mentioned that Kaipingwei still lacks two deputy thousand households, as well as the newly missing master book.He took a closer look, and it was all trivial things.

In fact, Jia Ke thought that beheading the master was the biggest thing, but in the eyes of Jiedushi Wang Tao, it was just a trivial matter.Instead, it was Jia Ke who gave him 2 taels of silver. He thought it was a big deal. This was Jia Ke's approach to him, and he would completely obey his orders in the future.That being the case, he will treat Jia Ke as his own for the time being. As for what will happen in the future, it will depend on his future performance.

After Wang Tao read the letter from beginning to end, his face was as expressionless as before, and then a smile appeared on his face.Liu Yu secretly saw clearly from below. After Wang Tao read the letter, he raised his head and said to Liu Yuwen, "You have worked hard all the way, go down to hand over the goods first, and then let the housekeeper arrange for you to rest overnight. You will take me tomorrow." Go and talk to your master. As for other things, they are all trivial, so he doesn’t have to worry. With me in Xuanfu Town, he can’t suffer.”

When Liu Yu heard that Jiedu Envoy Wang Tao had answered, he went down to rest in peace.

After Liu Yu left, Wang Tao went back to his study and immediately wrote a letter to Jia Ke.The letter basically said: Regarding Wang Wan's matter, let him not worry about it. Since Wang Wan violated the military order, he was beheaded.He also said that the goods he sent had been received, and he would be stationed at Kaiping Guard with peace of mind. If he had a chance in the future, he would not forget him when he made military achievements.Then he said that for the shortage of two deputy thousand households and chief bookkeeper, let him choose among Kaipingwei, and it will be fine when the time comes.

After Wang Tao finished writing the letter, he put it in an envelope and sealed it with wax.Give it to the steward, and ask him to hand it over to the person who delivered the letter to Jia Ke.Arrange a banquet for them tonight and let them go back tomorrow.

Liu Yu got Wang Tao's reply in the evening, and the next day, he brought his own soldiers and rushed back without stopping.When you go, you should escort the silver taels, and you can't walk too fast.When I went back, I was light and simple, and it took only three or four days to return to Kaipingwei.

As soon as he returned to Kaipingwei, Liu Yu immediately went back to Qianhu Mansion and returned to Jia Ke.

At this time, Jia Ke was also anxiously waiting for Liu Yu's reply.As soon as he heard that Liu Yu was back, he immediately asked him to go to the study to answer.

Liu Yu got Jia Ke's reply, and immediately went to the study to meet him, and as soon as Liu Yu entered the study, he saw Jia Ke was already sitting behind the desk waiting for him.

Seeing him coming in, Jia Ke didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Did the Jiedu envoy take the taels of silver? Did you answer?"

Liu Yu immediately replied to Jia Ke and said: "Master Jiedushi has already received the silver taels, and Master Jiedushi asked me to reply to the uncle. What the uncle said in the letter is only a trivial matter, so don't worry about it. And there is a reply letter, then I will reply to you." Bring it back and show it to the uncle." As he spoke, he took out the reply letter and presented it to Jia Ke with both hands.

Jia Ke took the letter and opened it to read it. After reading the new contents, he breathed a sigh of relief.He beheaded the master book this time, although it was reasonable and compliant.But he still kept his tongue, now that the Jiedushi said that there was nothing wrong, then it was really nothing wrong.Later, he also said that letting him choose the deputy thousand households himself would be more conducive to his control over Kaipingwei.

As for the candidate for the master book, he hasn't decided yet. After all, he has only been in Kaipingwei for a short time, especially the few literati he knows.
