Chapter 399 Military secrets, clues to Qingyuan Pavilion

At noon the next day, Lu Yunyi, who had just finished his meal, was stretching his muscles in the spacious courtyard.

A long spear made a sharp sound as he wielded it, the sound of breaking through the wind continued, and the silver light from the spear head was connected and impenetrable.

The slack muscles in the body become active at this moment.
Each piece is tightly connected and fits perfectly.
He didn't stop until beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lu Yunyi exerted force with his arms and swung the spear.
"Whoosh-"

The spear flew out and with a "ding" sound, it hit the weapon rack beside the courtyard.

There were swords, guns, sticks, axes and halberds on the weapons rack. These were public tools that Lu Yunyi took from the military camp for his own use.

Throwing down his spear, Lu Yunyi paused for a moment and started the next activity.
Sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, ten each set, twenty sets!
Among them, there are twenty pull-ups, twenty sets!
Lu Yunyi was sweating profusely, and the muscular muscles on his naked body were emitting a bronze glow, sparkling in the sun!
Just by looking at it, you can feel the tremendous power contained in it.

This intense exercise made Mu Sheng, who was standing nearby, open his eyes wide.

Beside him were Feng Bin and Ning Zhong. They were also feeling the same thing at the moment, their lips were dry.

They are the sons of Feng Cheng and Ning Zheng.

I followed Mu Sheng here today to ask Lu Yunyi for advice on the negligence in the defense of Dingbian.

At this moment, Feng Bin looked at Mu Sheng strangely and tilted his head:

"What are you doing, cousin and brother-in-law? Look, it looks terrible."

Ning Zhong on the side also turned his head, hoping to get an explanation.

Mu Sheng had no idea about this and looked at Feng Yunfang who was standing beside him.

Feng Yunfang felt a little uneasy under the gaze of these three second-generation rich kids, so he explained:

"General Mu, two young masters,
The exercise that Lord Lu is doing right now is called pull-ups, which is the most important exercise in the military."

"Most important?"

Mu Sheng widened his eyes, keenly catching these words, and reached out to scratch the wound on his face that had not yet healed and was a little itchy.

He stared at Lu Yunyi intently, wanting to write down every move he made!

Feng Yunfang nodded:
"I've told adults that pull-ups can effectively train back muscles such as the latissimus dorsi, the middle and lower trapezius muscles, and the erector spinae."

The three of them stared at each other in confusion.

Feng Yunfang didn't know how to explain it, so he scratched his head and continued:
“The erector spinae are the long muscles at the back of the spine, running along both sides of the spine.

As he spoke, Feng Yunfang turned his back.

Stretch your palms behind you and trace them along your spine
"When you do pull-ups, the erector spinae muscles are engaged.

As muscles grow stronger, they become a natural support for the spine.

In this way, your spine will be protected whether you are fighting or sitting or standing for a long time.

When doing pull-ups, the back muscles are strengthened.

Especially the strengthening of the latissimus dorsi and the middle and lower bundles of the trapezius muscles.

It can help pull the shoulders back and down, opening up the chest."

At this point, Feng Yunfang continued to scratch his head, feeling a little embarrassed:
"These are all written in the military training manual, and I don't know what they mean specifically.
Because it is a military secret, I cannot show it to you three adults. Please forgive me."

Mu Sheng's eyes were bright at this moment. He rushed to Feng Yunfang and patted his shoulder vigorously:

"You are such an ignorant boy, I am your brother-in-law's brother-in-law.
We are all family, there is nothing that cannot be said, keep talking! "

Feng Bin also rushed over: "Me too!! Me too!!"

Ning Zhong didn't know what to say, so he muttered, "My sister is also very beautiful."

Lu Yunyi, who was concentrating on the task at the side, almost dropped his hand when he heard this, and his whole body was hanging on it. He smiled helplessly.

"Yun Fang, talk to them."

"Yes!"

Feng Yunfang answered loudly, and continued to recite the notes in the drill manual:

"Pull-ups require the engagement of the core muscles to keep the body stable.

The core muscles include the rectus abdominis in the abdomen, the external obliques in the abdomen, and the erector spinae in the lower back.

During pull-ups, the rectus abdominis and external obliques contract to balance the body's forward and backward and left and right movements.
This makes the upper body more stable and more fixed when charging, which can greatly enhance the confrontation during the charge! "

Feng Yunfang scratched his head, probably thinking that what he said was too obscure, and smiled:

"In short, according to what the adults said,

Pull-ups are the simple exercise that can best strengthen your body.

It is also the action that requires the least effort, has the greatest benefit, and has the lowest cost. Even ordinary people should practice it often."

Mu Sheng didn't listen to what Feng Yunfang said next.

He simply realized that pull-ups could help soldiers stabilize their posture during a charge and strengthen their confrontation.

Mu Sheng seemed to have discovered some secret, as if he had found a treasure! !
He had discovered long ago that during the battle with Luchuan,

The front scouts collided with the Luchuan cavalry, and almost no one fell off their horses, and they repeatedly gained the upper hand! !

His eyes were burning as he looked at Feng Yunfang beside him:
"Boy, are you training like your brother-in-law?"

"No, no, no, no." Feng Yunfang looked terrified and shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, you don't need to practice like this. 30% is enough."

Feng Bin looked confused: "What about my brother-in-law?"

Feng Yunfang explained, "Master Feng, in the army, only General Liu can follow you in this kind of training."

"Ah? Can't other people do the same?" Mu Sheng looked puzzled.

"No, no, too much is as bad as too little. Once you hurt your body, you will need a long time to recover."

Feng Yunfang showed some fear, and seeing that they were still a little dissatisfied, he quickly said:
“A little bit adds up to a lot, persistence is the key!

My Lord and General Liu have been practicing for nearly ten years, adding it bit by bit."

ten years?

The three of them stood there in a daze, their eyes widened suddenly, watching Lu Yunyi sweating profusely in front of them.

Ten years ago, wouldn't that mean he had already started practicing at the age of ten?

They raised their heads and couldn't help thinking,

If I remember correctly, when they were ten years old, they were still riding horses all over the world with snot in their noses.

At this time, Lu Yunyi's voice came from a distance, with some panting sounds:

"Yun Fang, give him a training manual."

"Yes!"

Feng Yunfang straightened his body and ran away hurriedly!

Mu Sheng's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of surprise!

Feng Bin and Ning Zhong were also like this. Seeing them like this, Mu Sheng couldn't help but remind them:
"Don't reveal this method of training soldiers."

The two of them nodded like pecking at rice.

Lu Yunyi, who was not far away, heard this and shouted loudly:
"The method of training soldiers is only auxiliary. The difficult part is to persist in it. Now that the war is over, you can spread it widely in the army."

Lu Yunyi counted one, two, three in his mind and finished the last pull-up.

He jumped down and breathed a sigh of relief.

The cardiopulmonary capacity is recovering dramatically, and the muscles all over the body are as hot as magma!
Lu Yunyi felt very comfortable. He pulled the towel hanging from the side and walked towards Mu Sheng, saying as he walked:

"Laws have their own principles, but military tactics are not fixed. The military tactics of the Ming Dynasty are not to be feared.

The people of the grasslands have learned it, the people of Luchuan have learned it, so what? "

"Still defeated."

Lu Yunyi walked slowly, his bare upper body was muscular and his bronze skin looked thick under the sunlight.

At this moment, the three of them only felt that a ferocious beast was walking towards them, with a heroic aura rising from its body!

Several people couldn't help but hold their breath and stare wide-eyed.
At this time, Feng Yunfang hurried over with a document in his hand.

He walked quickly to Lu Yunyi's side and said in a low voice:

"Sir, Mr. Zhang from the Inquiry Office is here. He is in the side hall."

Lu Yunyi raised his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and he nodded gently:
"I see."

Lu Yunyi took the document from him, walked to Mu Sheng, and handed it to him.

Mu Sheng took it dazedly.
He was still thinking about the saying "Laws have fixed principles, but military forces have no fixed forms."

"This is a drill document for the military. If it is to be implemented, it should be done gradually, from a small amount to a large amount. It cannot be done all at once."

Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, brother-in-law, I understand."

"Ah."

Lu Yunyi turned to look at Feng Bin and Ning Zhong and smiled:
"You three go to the study first. I'll take care of some things first. I'll explain the war to you later."

The two nodded repeatedly: "I understand, brother-in-law."

Feng Bin looked at Ning Zhong in disbelief and punched him with his elbow!

Ning Zhong stiffened his neck and said in a somewhat tough tone:

"I have a sister too!"

Lu Yunyi ignored them and left quickly with Feng Yunfang.

Soon, the two arrived at the side hall of the Lu Mansion and did not wait to enter.

Lu Yunyi saw an official in his thirties wearing an indigo robe pacing back and forth in the room.

Noticing the two approaching, he immediately smiled and came forward to greet them! "I, your humble servant, am here to see General Lu."

Lu Yunyi smiled and nodded, then quickly walked into the house and made a gesture to invite him in.

The person in charge of the Liwen Office is an official of the sixth rank.

He was in charge of investigating and reviewing criminal cases in the provincial government, and was also the person who had the closest contact with private merchants and common people.

If you want to get information about a brothel and the interpersonal relationships behind it, getting it from Liwen is undoubtedly the best direction.

Entering the study, Lu Yunyi sat down, and Zhang Xingzhi also sat down.
His butt was only half hit, his back was straight and his face was stiff.

After Feng Yunfang poured the tea, he quietly retreated to the door and waited.

It was not until this time that Zhang Xingzhi spoke in a deep voice:
"General Lu, I have already found out what you asked me to investigate this morning."

As he spoke, Zhang Xingzhi handed over the document in his hand. As he took it, he could still smell the ink that had not yet dried.

Lu Yunyi shrugged his nose, and seeing the expectation on his face, he smiled and said:

"Could these documents be handwritten by Lord Zhang?"

The smile on Zhang Xingzhi's face instantly spread:

"Since it is General Lu who ordered the investigation, I shall obey, but..."

Zhang Xingzhi showed some hesitation on his face. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made up his mind and said in a low voice:
“General Lu, there are some secret cases in the documents that cannot be disclosed.

I am worried about someone else taking care of it, so I copied it myself. I also ask General Lu not to leak it."

Lu Yunyi knew that he was deliberately trying to be nice, so his expression became serious:

"Thank you, Master Zhang. This case is related to the assassination of Duke Cao, and I will not disclose it to the outside world."

"what?"

Zhang Xingzhi was also shocked, but he felt indescribable joy in his heart:
"General Lu, this is just a rumor, is it true?"

Lu Yunyi nodded solemnly:

“It is indeed true, the person who did it is someone from the brothel.

That’s why I wanted to check the brothels in Kunming City to see if there are any clues.”

"This matter is also of great importance. Sir Zhang, please do not disclose it. Today's incident is known to you and me."

Zhang Xingzhi nodded repeatedly:
"Please rest assured, General Lu. I have received the favor from the Marquis' Mansion and will do my best."

After a pause, he quickly said:

"General Lu, please take a look at the document first.

Some of these cases are old and only briefly touched upon in the documents.
Everything is in my mind. If you want to ask anything, just ask. I will never hide anything."

Lu Yunyi looked at Zhang Xingzhi with some surprise and nodded slightly.

A sixth-rank official in his thirties, who is in charge of such important matters as criminal litigation, is indeed a good person and capable of doing things.

"Then I will be polite. Sir Zhang, please wait for a moment."

"It's dispersing right now, General Lu, just take your time and don't rush.
I'd better stay with General Lu for a while to learn some ideas."

Lu Yunyi smiled and opened the document to take a quick look.
He has a good memory. After long-term deliberate training,

He has already achieved a photographic memory, so he reads very quickly!

The side hall fell silent, with only the sound of documents being quickly flipped.

Soon, Lu Yunyi saw the cases and lawsuits of Qingyuan Pavilion, and his expression became increasingly strange.

He did not stop, but turned to the next page, Hongcaofang.
The cases on it are equally shocking, filling up the entire page.

Some have been processed, some have been put on hold, and some have been marked with a red tick.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Yunyi finished reading the document.

He closed the document and turned the pages of the book in his mind.

After discovering that nothing was missing, he looked at Zhang Xingzhi who was sitting upright.

"Master Zhang, what are the cases marked with red circles?"

Zhang Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, tilted his body, and lowered his voice to a very low level:
"Those cases are those that the Inquiry Office, the Prison Office, and the local criminal courts are unable to investigate."

He leaned his head closer again and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"Some adults and dignitaries suppressed it by force and nothing happened.
Among them, Hongcaofang and Qingyuan Pavilion have the most.
Hongcaofang was involved in cases such as abducting women and forcing women of good character into prostitution.
The master behind it is Liu Qianshi, who is in charge of military preparations in the Censorate."

Lu Yunyi nodded. The assistant censor of the Censorate was of the fifth rank, and his duty was to inspect the different routes.

Among them, the three departments in charge of military preparation, military farming, and education are the most powerful, with military preparation being the most important.

Especially during wartime, when inspecting various places, he could almost execute first and report later!

Zhang Xingzhi continued:
"As for the cases in Qingyuan Pavilion, most of them are related to money.

Some of them include crimes such as not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children, forging and tampering with wills, embezzling property of extinct families, and forcibly occupying inheritances.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingzhi's face looked a little strange:
"General Lu, you don't know.
Although these crimes seem to be family affairs, there are people behind the scenes manipulating them.

Most of the people in Qingyuan Pavilion are sick. Some of them like homosexuality, some like to cheat on others, and finally try to steal the family property.

As for the person behind it, I don't know either.

I only remember that there was a particularly big incident, with tens of thousands of taels of wealth being lost.
In the end, it was Yang, the deputy envoy of the Provincial Surveillance Department, who stepped in to suppress the situation.

Since then, the reputation of Qingyuan Pavilion's strong background has spread, and no one dares to provoke it."

At this point, Zhang Xingzhi looked hesitant and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

Lu Yunyi said calmly:
"Master Zhang, please speak up, these are all dirty things.

In my opinion, they are not capable of participating in the assassination.
Just think of it as a joke, I want to listen too."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingzhi sighed, his face full of fear:

"I have heard people say that some of the officials and officials in the three departments are particularly fond of other people's wives.
I suspect that Qingyuan Pavilion is the place where people are matched.
Some adults were involved and did things for them.”

"Oh? Qingyuan Pavilion also forced other people's women to do such things?" Lu Yunyi's heart was filled with absurdity..
Zhang Xingzhi shook his head repeatedly:
“No, no, no, General Lu misunderstood.

Qingyuan Pavilion is a famous brothel in Kunming, with countless beauties.

But the women who redeemed themselves from Qingyuan Pavilion were particularly obedient and well trained.

There was a rumor that the women in Qingyuan Pavilion would leave in spirit but not in spirit.

As long as Qingyuan Pavilion gives the order, they will do whatever they are told to do.

Stealing a person is nothing. There are more exaggerated cases.

I will not say more, for fear of offending General Lu’s ears.”

Seeing that he was very secretive, Lu Yunyi did not ask further questions and instead asked about other cases involving brothels.

He deliberately made some detailed inquiries about some small but famous brothels, and Zhang Xingzhi told them the truth.

Soon, the conversation between the two came to an end.

Lu Yunyi smiled and looked at Zhang Xingzhi:
"Let's stop here today. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang.
I will tell Duke Cao about today's events in person.

If Duke Cao wants to meet him, please ask Master Zhang to come in time."

Zhang Xingzhi only felt that he was hit by a huge surprise, and his breathing became rapid:

"Yes, yes. It's not hard at all!"

For him, it is better to work for the Marquis of Xiping, and it is even better to work for Duke Cao.

The former can make him live comfortably in Yunnan.
If he could strike up a conversation with the latter, perhaps he could seek an opportunity to become an official in Beijing in the future!

This is the opportunity that all the officials have been waiting for!!

Sometimes, all their lifelong pursuits and efforts are not as good as a casual after-dinner chat from those adults who sit high up in the clouds.

After saying some nice words, Zhang Xingzhi left Lu's house with excitement.

Lu Yunyi thought carefully for a long time in the side hall, and finally chuckled.
If Qingyuan Pavilion was a good brothel that abided by the law, he would have to worry about it.
But now, Qingyuan Pavilion is full of flaws.
There were so many that he was temporarily unable to choose a breakthrough point. There were simply too many of them.

Lu Yunyi couldn't understand why Qingyuan Pavilion had the courage to act so recklessly. Wasn't it just attracting attention for nothing?

Shaking his head, Lu Yunyi stood up, walked out of the side hall, and handed the document in his hand to Feng Yunfang:
"Go to the military camp and give it to Black Hawk, and ask him to do it quickly."

"Yes!"

Feng Yunfang left quickly. Lu Yunyi did not go to the study immediately, but walked towards the bathhouse, preparing to wash up before teaching his brothers-in-law.

In the military camp, Liu Heiying read the documents in his hand over and over again, and finally selected a case.

[Xiong Xinjie's property dispute case]
In this case, the concubine Gu, who was redeemed from Qingyuan Pavilion, successfully became the principal wife and gave birth to a child.

When his descendants were young, Xiong Xinjie, the owner of a cloth shop, died suddenly, leaving behind ten thousand taels of silver, two shops, and dozens of acres of fertile land outside the city.

The dispute arose from then on.

Xiong Chengyu, the legitimate son born to the legal wife Yao, was the successor, but the heir born to Gu was also a legitimate son because of his mother's status.

The two quarreled so much that the dispute ended up in the government.

Xiong Chengyu reported Gu's affair, and the two sons were not heirs of the Xiong family.
After my father died, several people came to our house late at night to have sex before his body was cold.

Yao reported that Xiong Chengyu was greedy for beauty and had sex with her many times.
Finally, after interrogation and investigation in the prison, Xiong Chengyu was convicted of "civil strife" and sentenced to death by hanging.

Considering his father's contributions to Yunnan, he cannot escape the death penalty, nor can he escape the punishment of living.

He was sentenced to twenty strokes of the cane, two years' imprisonment, and sent to a guard post to raise horses and cultivate land for three years.

Now, five years later,

Xiong Chengyu now works in a feed mill in the city and his legs are crippled.

Liu Heiying looked at the document, frowned, scratched his head, and was extremely confused:
"How could he endure it for five years?"

　Ah, successfully returned to Guangdong!
