Chapter 155: Killing people and destroying themselves, a little trick

At the prefect's Yamen, Wang Qi is convening all officials, local sages and clan elders to discuss matters.

Li Guangzhen was the leader, along with Qiu Tong, county elders and local officials. Under special circumstances, the court sometimes had to rely on the help of local clan forces.

Imperial power did not extend to counties. For thousands of years, local clan forces and central power have maintained a delicate balance.

"I have already sent a letter to the court. The court will provide assistance when the time comes. You don't have to worry." Wang Qi sat at the top and glanced at everyone in the hall: "If you have any difficulties, you can make it clear to me in advance.

If not, during this period, the entire Jizhou Prefecture cannot have any unrest due to the lack of food for the victims, nor can there be any conflicts due to uneven food distribution. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you when the time comes!

”

"Don't worry, Mr. Guo. I have a clear understanding of state and family affairs. The entire Jizhou Prefecture, as well as the surrounding counties and villages, have sent people to notify them. Those who dare to cause trouble will be strictly guarded. Those who instigate trouble will be punished directly.

"It's a crime to go to jail," Li Guangzhen said respectfully.

He bowed to Wang Qi, and then handed the account book to Wang Qi: "This is the grain collection situation of the entire Jizhou Prefecture treasury this year, and what I have collected, the entire Jizhou Prefecture's large private households' grain inventory, according to the calculation

, within half a month, it won’t be a problem.”

"Okay, with Mr. Li's words, I feel at ease." Wang Qi leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, someone needs to return to Beijing to report on the situation in Jizhou Prefecture. Mr. Li, can you choose a few?"

A capable man, come back to Beijing with my personal guard battalion."

"The country... is so kind to me, the Duke of the country," Li Guangzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Qi's words, and then, instead, a wave of ecstasy surged from the back of his head!

"My lord, this kindness! It is difficult for the people of Jizhou Prefecture to repay it, and it is difficult for me to repay it!"

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to Beijing with Duke Lang's bodyguard camp to meet the Holy Spirit!

On a normal day, who would know you in Jizhou Mansion, whether it is the Li family, the Wang family, or which family's disciples come to Beijing? Who can give you a good look? You can't recognize the door of the cabinet minister which way it opens!

But if Wang Qi introduces it, it will be very different!

Duke Lang's reputation is a golden sign, that is, how much the emperor should value him. If a few of his disciples can go to the capital in advance and show their faces in front of the ministers and big shots, they can pretend to be familiar with each other.

In the future, students in Jizhou Prefecture will also be able to bloom everywhere.

In short, Wang Qi's words, for the students and scholars of Jizhou Prefecture, this is a shortcut to heaven!

"Qiu Tong, have all the fellow villagers from Liaodong been resettled?" Wang Qi turned to look at Qiu Tong, the consul representing the refugees from Liaodong.

"It has been settled," Qiu Tong said in a loud voice, but in front of Wang Qi, he was like a mastiff with a pinched throat, hesitantly said: "It's just that people's hearts are unsettled and they don't know how to live in peace in the future."

"Don't worry, I have written a strategy memorial to the imperial court. Within half a month, I will definitely give you a good way out." Wang Qi pressed his hands and said warmly: "Now we are setting up camp outside Jizhou Mansion, waiting for the imperial court's arrival."

Place it."

"Understood, with the words of the Duke, we can reply to the villagers!" Qiu Tong nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.

Half an hour later, most of the clan elders and officials reported the situation to Wang Qi one by one, and then dispersed at dawn.

As soon as everyone left, Wang Qi asked people to make butter cakes and egg drop porridge. While they were eating, Wang Shouxin came back from outside.

"Sir, the Han Ge Department... has been found." Wang Shouxin stood three steps away from Wang Qi and bowed.

"Where are the people?" Wang Qi took two bites of the scallion pancake and drank the gruel.

"Dead." Wang Shouxin lowered his head and continued: "My subordinates did it themselves, and no one else knows about it."

While chewing in his mouth, Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Wang Shouxin: "Why do you act on your own?"

"Unless Han Xu dies, my lord will have no peace," Wang Shouxin said truthfully: "The rioters besieged the city, and countless people saw him being dragged to the top of the city by the White Lotus Sect. If he dies, he will die. No one will suspect anything."

"Dead people can't solve any problems. Han Xu is not Nurhachi, and Donglin is not Hou Jin. He is dead, and there are still countless Han Xu who are watching," Wang Qi said while picking up the brocade handkerchief and wiping his hands.

"However," Wang Qi wiped his hands, stood up, walked to the tea table, and sat down: "If you are dead, you are dead. It is just one more crime to be suspected. To me, there is no difference."

"Without your lord, the Ming Dynasty would have fallen apart long ago. Liaodong had long been occupied by Hou Jin. Without your lord, the White Lotus would have ravaged the capital, and the capital would have been in terror. Without your lord, all the civil and military officials of the imperial court would have been able to sleep so peacefully in Juxianfang and Renshoufang."

"Can the emperor feel so at ease in the inner courtyard of the palace?" Wang Shouxin lowered his head: "Of all the civil and military officials in the imperial court, no one can compare with you!"

"Do you want to say something?" Wang Qi sat there and looked at Wang Shouxin.

"My lord has been transferred out of Liaodong, and all the brothers are unhappy!" Wang Shouxin said with anger: "Those cabinet ministers in the imperial court have no other skills, but they are very skilled in picking peaches. The emperor who sits high in the inner palace, he

Do you know who among the brothers has been through life and death, who has beheaded how many slaves, and who has scars on his body? In the end, a decree sent me and the rest of the brothers away!"

This paragraph by Wang Shouxin has only six words:

Occupy Liaodong and become king.

Wang Qi's brows furrowed tightly...

He seems to have underestimated the insight of military men in this era into world affairs, and the development of things is somewhat beyond his control.

"Who else?" Wang Qi looked at his personal guards. He wanted to know who was planning this behind the scenes.

"Qin Erbao, the commander-in-chief of Guangning City in Liaodong, Shi Shenyan, the deputy commander-in-chief, Fang Weixin, the commander-in-chief of Guangning, and Bian Youcheng, the commander-in-chief of Zhenwu Fort..."

There are thirty-seven people in total, including six general soldiers, seventeen deputy general soldiers, and the remaining guerrilla guards.

All of them are Wang Qi's former family generals, and a few of them are soldiers recruited by Wang Qi from the bottom.

But...

After a long while, Wang Qi shook his head: "I will go back to Liaodong. I know what you think. I will give you an answer when I return to Liaodong."

"Sir, back then Chen Qiaoyi..." Wang Shouxin was halfway through his words when he met Wang Qi's cold gaze. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, clattering, and the sound of his armor was displayed.

, already half-kneeling on the ground: "I will talk too much!"

"This kind of thing is not something you should consider!" Wang Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Shouxin: "Go and tell Qin Erbao to guard Liaodong for me. If not, when I get back, the first thing to do is

I will drive him back to his hometown in Shandong and go fishing on the beach for the rest of his life!"

"The last general...the last general knows!"

"Go down!" Wang Qi waved his hand and sent Wang Shouxin to go down.

Wang Qi was the only one left in the hall.

After a while, Wang Qi's closed eyes reopened, with complex expressions in them.

As the official became bigger, the ambitions of his subordinates also grew. Qin Erbao, the leader, led the generals and wanted to admonish Wang Qi and occupy the east of Liao to become independent.

But!

This kind of thing can only be brought up by Wang Qi himself and cannot be forced by others!
