Go up Yujing Street, the main road in the city, and walk straight north, about ten miles away, to the Zhenning Jiedushi Yamen.

There is an open square in front of the yamen, with a large screen wall in the middle, facing the main entrance of the yamen. Ordinary people do not dare to walk from this place. There are only a dozen or so tooth soldiers wearing straight iron armor, standing guard in twos and threes.

The two came on horseback. A junior high school officer saw them and led several heavily armed tooth soldiers to surround them.

Uncle Wang learned the lesson this time, got off his horse early, took out the telltale sign and handed it over.

After checking it, the little inspector crossed his arms and saluted, his tone was not very respectful: "What business do you two have here?"

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "I don't have much business to do. I'm looking for an old acquaintance in your army."

"What's your name? Maybe someone knows you."

"My surname is Cao Minghan, do you recognize it?"

The principal was slightly startled and said eagerly: "We know each other. Everyone in the military knows Commander Cao. It just so happened that he came to the office today to see Wang Jiepan on an official mission, so I took the two of you to look for him."

"Oh? You have been promoted to commander." Uncle Wang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"It's the battalion commander." The colonel added, and Uncle Wang felt relieved.

In fact, there is no battalion-level organization in the army. The official name should be command, but because it has the same title as the official position, sergeants are called battalion in private to distinguish them.

"Since he is here, please ask him to come out to see us." Uncle Wang said carelessly.

The colonel hesitated for a moment, thinking that you, a deputy military envoy, are here to visit the battalion commander. Even if you are an old acquaintance, you should not ask the superior officer to come out to see you.

But he still didn't say anything, and only said: "Then please stay here for a while, I will go right away."

After saying a few words to the soldiers beside him, he quickly entered the Yamen.

The young man looked at the retreating figure of the primary school and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, I bet that Cao Han will not come out to see you."

"Why does Xiaolang think so?" Uncle Wang asked suspiciously.

"Cao Han is cunning and arbitrary, and he loves great achievements. He cannot be deceived by just one word." The young man replied.

Sure enough, after a while, the primary school boy ran back alone.

The principal looked at Uncle Wang, then at the young man, and said awkwardly: "Commander Cao said that he and Wang Jiepan have military affairs to discuss. Please wait for him for a while, and then come out to greet you two after he has finished his business."

Uncle Wang was furious and shouted: "He is a commander with fart military affairs. Didn't you tell me my name?"

The primary school teacher hurriedly explained: "I've reported it."

Uncle Wang's expression froze and turned red. He could only laugh a few times. He patted the principal's shoulder with his big hand like a leaf fan and said, "Then I'll ask you to make another trip. I'm sending a noble man from Tokyo, so why don't you invite him to come out?"

See you."

With that said, he handed over a heavy handful of Kaiyuan coins.

The principal resisted for a while, but accepted: "Shangguan is polite, so I will go there again. If he refuses, he can't blame me."

"That's natural." Uncle Wang smiled happily.

Seeing his small eyes flashing and his treacherous smile, which was not as straightforward as ordinary soldiers, the principal suddenly felt that the copper coins in his arms were a little hot to the touch.

When he turned to leave, the young man suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a minute."

The principal turned around and asked, "Any other instructions?"

"When you went to report just now, could Wang Jie be on the side?" the young man asked.

"Behind the case."

"Then you tell Wang Jiepuan that Brother Yi from Tokyo is here. Please ask him to come out as well."

The principal didn't know why, but he still responded and trotted forward.

Uncle Wang waited until he was far away and then asked in confusion: "Then Wang Jiepuan doesn't know us, why should we inform him?"

Yi Geer pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I have also heard of Wang Min's name. He was born as a Jinshi, has experienced many towns, and has a cautious and honest personality. Aweng specially ordered him to know the Zhenning Jiejuan. We are like this, and with him

I will definitely come out and take a look at my temperament."

"Young man knows these little officials so well without leaving home, I admire him!" Uncle Wang said, crossing his hands.

"Do you think I've been spending this whole year just keeping up with Chen Laodao? Besides, Judge Jiedu is no small official."

Uncle Wang chuckled, then flattered him, and then complained: "Since Xiaolang knew, why didn't he tell me earlier, which cost me dozens of dollars in vain."

Yi Geer smiled and said nothing.

Not long after, I saw a crimson-robed civil servant walking out of the side door, followed closely by a young general in armor, galloping towards them.

Yi Geer sat upright on the horse and quietly watched the two people getting closer and closer. Maybe he had stood there for too long, and the horse was a little impatient and snorted several times.

The two stopped five steps away, and only then did Yi Geer see their faces clearly.

Wang Min is already middle-aged, her temples are mottled and gray under her official hat, and her steps are unsteady. She is panting slightly as she walks so fast.

Cao Han is a young general in his twenties. He has three strands of beard and looks quite elegant.

Wearing a fine black lacquered mountain armor, he walked like a tiger and a tiger, and the armor pieces jingled.

Coming closer, Cao Han ignored the stern-faced Uncle Wang and looked at Yi Geer blankly, hesitating for a long time and unable to say a word.

Brother Yi leaned forward and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for two years. Commander Cao, don't you recognize Yi?"

Only then did Cao Han come back to his senses. He fell to the ground like a pillar and cried: "I don't dare to pay homage to His Highness. After the Qianyou Incident last year, I thought..."

Yi Geer waved his hand and interrupted him: "Thanks to Chai Wang's quick wit, he saved me from fire and water, and I had an experienced doctor to save my life."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Min: "Are you Wang Min and Wang Jiepan?"

When Wang Min saw Cao Han bursting into tears, he was sure of the young man's identity. When he asked, he repeatedly claimed that he was the boy and bowed his hands in a salute: "Wang Min, the judge of the Zhenning Army, has met your highness, and I didn't know his identity until now. I'm rude."

There is always hope for Haihan."

Yi Geer got off his horse and helped Wang Min up, saying warmly: "Wang Jie doesn't need to be polite.

He turned to look at Cao Han and said with a straight face: "Get up too, Shacai."

Cao Han was overjoyed when he heard him call him to kill the talent, and shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness."

As he spoke, he climbed up and stood by with a humble face.

Yi Geer looked him up and down and said, "Yes, you are also a battalion commander now."

Cao Han grinned: "Your Highness is so complimentary. Commander Quan Zhanjie appreciates it, so he was promoted to two levels."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he snorted coldly. Although the guy's tone was humble, he still couldn't hide the contentment in his eyes. He simply turned his head away and kept his sight out of sight.

Cao Han looked embarrassed, and Wang Min looked at the ground, thinking he was nothing.

Yi Geer smiled deeply, stared at Wang Min and said: "After being promoted, you will put on airs when meeting old friends. I think you should start as a pawn and sharpen your temper."

"I feel the same way." Wang Min understood it and agreed without thinking.

Cao Han's face turned bitter, but he still crossed his hands in dismay: "Provoke."

"Hahaha..." Yi Geer laughed heartily. He patted Cao Han's shoulder, his armor rustled, and said: "You're joking, I have no official position, but I can't decide who you are as a commander."

promotion."

After laughing, he asked Cao Han: "Am I in charge of the office?"

Cao Han shook his head: "Shuai Guo has gone to ask for food from the grain envoy. I'm afraid he won't be able to return home until the lights are on."

"You want food?" Brother Yi thought for a moment and said, "Is this the food envoy Zhang Mei?"

Wang Min and Cao Han said yes one after another.

"Zhang Mei is an official, but Aye's move put him in a dilemma." Yi Geer said thoughtfully.

Cao Han didn't take it seriously and said: "How can it be difficult? Asking for food in private is obviously against the rules, but Guo Shuai, who is his status, wants food and grass. I don't think he will talk too much in court."

Brother Yi smiled and said nothing.

However, Wang Min pondered and said, "What His Highness said is true. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be angry with Commander Guo if he hears it."

Yi Geer glanced at the two of them and stretched out: "Let's not talk about this. We have come all the way and are exhausted. Let's find a place to settle down first."

Wang Min quickly invited the two of them to join the Jieshuai Office.

The Yamen is quite grand and grand, with white walls and black tiles, neat and clear.

Entering the gate, there is an open space about twenty steps wide and fifty steps long. On the left side is a row of horse posts, and at the end is the ceremonial gate.

The ritual door is tightly closed, and there are two small doors for life and death on the east and west sides.

The death door is also closed, and the prison door is next to it, while the life door is wide open. From time to time, officials and soldiers come in and out with piles of papers.

Chai Wang went to tie the horses. Cao Han was clever and called a soldier and said, "Have you seen these two horses? I will keep them aside for half a day and keep them away from anyone."

The soldier recognized Cao Han, and when he saw Wang Min nodded slightly, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Provoke."

Then he stood beside the horse with his sword pressed.

Wang Min took Yi Geer to the front of Zhisheng Gate, and several minor officials who were about to go in and out quickly stepped aside.

Making a sign of invitation, he said: "The ceremonial door cannot be opened. You have to go through this door. Please don't be surprised, Your Highness."
