Chapter 149: The Rise of the Wind and Clouds
Source of voice.
A middle-aged man who was nearly fifty and had a tower-shaped body walked straight into the venue.
The slightly white oily head is meticulous. On the left face, a scar from the forehead to the jaw is extremely ferocious. She is wearing a military uniform and a black tiger cloak with a shoulder strap. As she walks around, the colorful tiger is lifelike, as if she wants to choose someone to eat.
Under the cloak, there was a marshal's uniform.
This person is the Marshal of the Army and Horse who is now in charge of the three armies in the Western Frontier, Fan Xunzhang, the King of Pingxi.
He is arrogant without anger, and his heroic spirit is irritating. The majesty spirit that comes from his every move makes people inexplicably scared.
"The tiger robe... is really the prince..."
On the podium, although Kong Haoji had never seen Fan Xunzhang, his legs immediately became weak when he saw the tiger cloak behind him.
In today's world, China is rising, but the great powers' desire to perish us is not dead. In the prosperous era of peace in all the world, the border has never been peaceful.
Four kings of different surnames guarded the four borders, rewarded with fiefs and given tiger robes.
Holding heavy troops in hand, the limelight is invincible.
Below one person, above ten thousand people.
Such a majestic person has long been famous all over the world.
Who dares to provoke him, who can provoke him?
When Fan Xunzhang entered the door, he looked straight towards Ji Haotian without looking sideways.
Around me, four Chinese-style guards were steadily walking, and the eagle looked at them. The four were burly, but they walked silently. They were the top masters of internal kung fu at first glance.
"You dare to ask, yourselves, but Ji Haotian, Mr. Ji?"
Fan Xunzhang walked to Ji Haotian and stood still. Although he was polite, he still felt like a superior person after he had been in a high position for a long time.
After Fan Xun Zhang said this, the four guards around him became nervous. The four of them all noticed the aura of killing on Wen Keren.
Ji Haotian nodded slightly: "That's right."
Be calm and composed.
Calm and calm.
With such a strong aura, even when facing the powerful King Pingxi, he still did not lose any disadvantage.
"My benefactor is here, please accept a worship from Mr. Fan!"
After Fan Xunzhang confirmed Ji Haotian's identity, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands and prepared to give a deep salute.
Seeing this scene, the whole audience was silent.
Kong Haoji regretted it even more. No matter how stupid he was, he could see what King Pingxi was trying to come today. Moreover, in his words, the young man seemed to have great kindness to the Fan family. If Fan Xunzhang really wanted to vent his anger for Ji Haotian, wouldn't his situation be in danger?
"The King of Pingxi is so generous."
Ji Haotian raised his arm slightly, blocking Fan Xunzhang's arm: "I can't bear this bow."
Ji Haotian was not polite. He did not accept this worship, first of all, because he saved Fan Jingzhong, it was just a matter of thought. For him, it was even more a waste of time. Moreover, because Fan Xunzhang was wearing a military uniform and this place was not a battlefield. Ji Haotian received this worship, but the courtesy was inconsistent.
"If Mr. Ji hadn't rescued me, my father would have passed away. The greatest in the world is the king of heaven and earth. If you saved my father's life, you would naturally be able to bear my worship."
Fan Xunzhang was born in the army. Even though he was in a high position and over fifty years old, he was frank and straightforward: "Recently, the Western War has won a great victory. I just stepped down from the battlefield and rushed straight to Yunzhou, preparing to thank Mr. Ji himself, but I never thought that I was embarrassed by a traitor!"
"The King of Pingxi is too polite. You have led countless soldiers to resist foreign humiliation on the front line. You should be a model for us. It is precisely because of you who led countless soldiers to fight the enemy that the world is as peaceful as ever. Therefore, when I met Ling Zun and was in a state of ill health, there was no way to stand by and watch."
Ji Haotian smiled: "I came from a medical school, and it is my duty to treat diseases and save people. Moreover, Miss Fan Ke has paid the medical fee. There is no debt between you and me!"
"Well said! It is the duty of treating diseases and saving people!"
Fan Xunzhang glanced at Ji Haotian with praise, then his face darkened: "Mr. Ji, we will discuss it later. At this moment, I will deal with this villain who disrespects you first!"
After Fan Xun Zhang finished speaking, his sharp eyes turned to Kong Haoji: "Take it for me!"
"yes!"
Several guards responded and walked towards the stage.
"Slow down! Let's wait!"
When Kong Haoji heard that Fan Xunzhang was going to capture him, he immediately roared in a change of tone, and then explained loudly: "Prince! Kong is here today, not intending to make things difficult for Mr. Ji, but was ordered to raise military expenses for the northern army. I don't know what crime I have committed?"
"Military expenses?"
Ji Haotian entered the door before, and did not know what title Kong Haoji used to donate today. When he heard these remarks, he immediately frowned and said, "My Chinese military expenditure is unified and allocated by the national treasury. When will local prefectures like Yunzhou need to be funded? It would be fine if you made a name to loot the people's wealth, but you dare to use the name of the three armies to smear the army. You can tell what the crime is!"
When Fan Xunzhang heard this, he was furious: "You are so brave! The soldiers who are fighting bloody all day long have become the cover for you to make money! Why are you standing there? I caught this nonsense bastard!"
"I didn't lie! I did get the tax donation today, and it was indeed a assignment for the top of the peak! I admit that the tax payment was not proposed by the North Military Department, but did Yunzhou taxes not be used as part of national defense?"
Kong Haoji looked at the soldiers who walked up to the podium and gradually approached him, and was anxious.
He was indeed assigned by the upper class to pay the donation today, but this order was not formally issued. Instead, the four clans used their power to clear several tax collectors. Then everyone communicated with each other and decided to pay the tax for the next year in advance.
Paying taxes in advance in the year of disaster is not new, so there is no problem for everyone to do this, but they used this as an excuse to offer a sky-high price to Lin Yun, which was indeed contrary to the regulations and even completely changed the matter.
However, there are four valves pressing on their heads, and with the joint efforts of everyone, even if they use this method to smooth out a small Zhennan Fund, it is not worth mentioning.
However, when King Pingxi was involved at this moment, this incident would definitely cause a lot of controversy. If it spread, it would be a trivial matter to be lost in Kong Haoji's black sha. I'm afraid that the next thing would be a prison disaster, or even his life would be lost.
The moment Fan Xunzhang stood beside Ji Haotian, Kong Haoji knew that his performance today had failed, but at this time he was a mute and could not say anything about his suffering. He did not dare to spit out who was behind him, otherwise his fate would be even worse.
As the soldiers gradually approached, Kong Haoji's thoughts quickly flowed, and then his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Prince! I'm afraid you can't arrest me! This matter is not with our court's laws! As we all know, the army has no relationship with the civilian community, and Kong has no military position. Even if he is guilty, he should be dealt with by the state government. Why should the army take me?"
"If you violate the ordinary law, you should naturally leave it to the local area to deal with it. However, you will be able to save money from the people in the name of the army and discredit the soldiers of the three armies. I can take care of this matter!"
Fan Xunzhang has a noble status and a noble status, so he will naturally not be scared by Kong Haoji, and he is even more disdainful of his rebuttal.
"Even so, you are the commander of the Western Frontier, and Yunzhou is in the northern country. Even if I really cross the line and provoke the military, the one who wants to arrest me should be the soldiers of the northern country! I'm afraid this move of King Xi is inappropriate!"
Kong Haoji retreated repeatedly, kept a distance from several soldiers, and defended him again.
At this moment, he knew that he could not afford to offend Fan Xunzhang today, but he was still constantly ruling because behind him, there were four major clans in Yunzhou. As long as he was in this realm, his affairs would have room for improvement. If he was taken away by Fan Xunzhang, he really couldn't imagine how things would develop.
"Well said! It's not the turn of outsiders to deal with the matter in the North!"
After Kong Haoji finished speaking, a shout came from outside the door.
Immediately, another team of soldiers rushed into the door.
The outfit is the same as Fan Xunzhang's guard, but the equipment is slightly different.
Moreover, there is a snowflake pattern on the armbands of this team of soldiers.
