Although Yao Zhong is older and no longer young, he is absolutely extraordinary.

He trained soldiers in the army all year round, dancing guns and sticks, riding horses and knives, and his body was still strong, far from being comparable to the pampered civil servant master like Song Chen.

His fist was comparable to a casserole. With one punch, he immediately hit Song Chen and fainted on the ground with bleeding from his nostrils, losing consciousness.

The scene suddenly stopped.

After all, no one expected that Yao Zhong would really hit someone and even bleed.

When Yao Zhong realized that he had made a mistake and had done something wrong. In a panic, he quickly took people out of the governor's mansion and returned to the army.

Then while writing a letter to the Lin'an Privy Council to defend itself, he wrote to Wu Lin from Sichuan and Shu, asking Wu Lin to mobilize his connections to help him, so that he would not let himself overturn his boat in the gutter because of such a small matter...

Wu Gong had already capsized, and he didn't want to continue capsizing.

On the other side, Song Chen was knocked out and woke up for a while.

He looked at his bruised nose and swollen face in the bronze mirror, and deeply hated Yao Zhong, but realized that if Yao Zhong had brought this matter to the rhythm, he might not have good results to eat.

After thinking for a while, he decided to change the subject and initiate a war of quantity to win by quantity.

Ezhou officials are basically Song Chen's accomplices. When they get benefits, they basically get the rain and dew. Everyone takes them. Idiots who don't want to take them will be cruelly excluded. So after the waves wash away the sand, all the people who are left are those who know the current affairs.

For their own interests, everyone hugged each other tightly, responded to Song Chen's call, and decided that the evil people would complain first, bite back, and give Yao Zhong the eye drops.

In short, it is to report the crimes they committed to Yao Zhong, slander Yao Zhong for using the Liangpin military to trade with the Ming army in Henan, and sell all the good-quality weapons to the Ming army in Henan to make a lot of money, leaving the defective products to his own army.

Because his heart was so dark that there were too many defective products, the army became resentful. Yao Zhong felt that he could not hold on, so he decided to divert the conflict and in turn slandered the Ezhou government for not giving good-quality weapons to the army.

Yao Zhong tried to turn black and white into black, cover up his mistakes, and make the soldiers resent the government rather than himself, in order to achieve his ulterior motives, and was really not a minister.

As for how to get through when the court sent someone to verify it later, Song Chen also had an idea.

He found the merchants responsible for trading with the peasant army, asked them to contact the peasant army on their own initiative, explained the matter clearly, and asked them to second the good-quality ordnance that had been sent to them for use in order to fool the officials who came to inspect the court.

After dealing with this matter, I will definitely not return the ordnance to the peasant army.

If we are finished, you will not be able to continue the military trade for a while, and your successors may not be willing to do business with you. This is probably not what you are willing to see.

But if this level is over, our trade price will be discussed later. We can give you a 30% discount or 30% discount. How about you?

In the flash of lightning, Song Chen could not think of any better way, so he could only bet on the peasant army and was still a bit honest.

They really bet right.

After Zhao Yucheng learned about this, he held a small-scale meeting for discussion.

Finally, everyone reached a unified view.

Yao Zhong is a famous general and has a good military skills. If the peasant army confronts him, he may not get any benefits, and may even increase casualties.

Since Yao Zhong can be eliminated with the conflicts within the Southern Song Dynasty at this moment, why not do it?

Isn’t the enemy our friends?

So Zhao Yucheng replied to Song Chen and told them that we agreed to this deal, you can send someone to come and we will cooperate with it with all our strength.

After receiving the news, Song Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that had been hanging all the time fell back into his stomach. He felt like he was reborn.

The peasant army is still reasonable and is a good business partner. In the future, business cooperation can be strengthened.

Then he began to arrange for his subordinates to make fake accounts based on the current data, preparing to fool the people from the court and take Yao Zhong away in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Yucheng felt that doing so was not enough to make the Southern Song Dynasty court destroy Yao Zhong, so he conveyed the news to the Tianwang Army and informed the Henan Corps of the matter by detour to Commander Zhang Yuejing of the Henan Corps, asking Zhang Yuejing to cooperate.

For example, some very "secret" rumors were released, such as some shameful trade between the Ming army and the Song army in Xiangyang.

If Yao Zhong can be defeated in this wave, it will definitely be a good thing for the upcoming war.

Zhao Yucheng was very involved, and Song Chen himself was not stupid enough to wait.

The memorial he wrote to the court not only included false accusations against Yao Zhong, but also about the content of military generals punching Jinshi and forcibly beating civil servants.

Zhao Song's family law has always paid great attention to restrictions on military generals and strictly prevented any cross-border behaviors of military generals.

Song Chen felt that if he could lead a wave of rhythm and transfer this matter from simple corruption and dereliction of duty to civil and military conflicts, it would definitely be of great benefit to him passing the crisis.

Both sides made a move and showed their trump card. The next thing is their luck.

The melodies of both sides rushed to Lin'an City at a rocket-like speed.

Therefore, on the eve of the fourth encirclement and suppression war, Song Ting was shocked after hearing about the violent conflict between Yao Zhong and Song Chen and other Ezhou officials.

The Privy Council first received a comment from Yao Zhong.

Yao Zhong's memorial said that the local officials in the Jinghu War Zone withheld military supplies and the large amount of defective goods seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army, which made him very dissatisfied, so he took people to ask the governor of Ezhou to ask for an explanation.

However, the governor of Ezhou refused to help him solve this matter. He had no choice but to decide to go to the warehouse to check the truth, but was blocked by the governor Song Chen. The two sides had a physical conflict. In the chaos, Song Chen was beaten down by someone.

This is not his intention. He was just worried that if the equipment was too poor, he would not be wary of the Ming army in Henan going south. He also heard rumors that officials and the peasant army on Jiangnan West Road were secretly maintaining contact and selling weapons to them, so he asked the court to deal with it impartially.

Zhao Xing had just finished reading Yao Zhong's memorial, and before he could get angry, Song Chen and officials from all over the country were delivered.

In terms of quantity, Ezhou officials' memorials beat Yao Zhong.

In terms of content, Ezhou officials, especially Song Chen's melody, were also quite exciting.

The content was that the things they gave to Yao Zhong were sent by the Privy Council directly sent by someone. They did not stop them at all and detained them. They sent them all to the Xiangyang military camp. However, they didn't know why Yao Zhong took the initiative to bring people to the door to cause trouble, and insisted that they withdrew the weapons and used inferior products as good ones.

Yao Zhong led 200 soldiers to make trouble and blocked the governor's mansion. He was arrogant, unreasonable, arrogant, and often waved his fists to threaten the civil servants who were powerless. He also drew his sword from time to time to threaten them, just to hand over the armies.

Song Chen argued with reason, Yao Zhong was arrogant and unreasonable, and finally wanted to rob him. Of course, Song Chen refused to agree and came forward to stop him. He was punched in the face by Yao Zhong, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and fainted. He woke up for a while.

He didn't know what Yao Zhong was doing, but he had heard some rumors that Yao Zhong had been guarding Xiangyang for a long time and had many contacts with the Ming army, and he didn't know what the Ming army was doing here.

Now that I had time to get angry with the civil servant, Zhao Xing calmed down instantly. Looking at the two memorials with completely conflicting content, it felt difficult to make a suitable decision.

So he summoned the ministers to discuss and announced the matter.
