The governor was the highest commander in charge of civil affairs, justice and military affairs of a province set up by the Ming and Qing dynasties. The central officer was the military officer who was close to the governor, and he had always been a close person to take responsibility. The man who lost his head was surnamed Tong, but now the governor of Fujian is surnamed Tong. This central officer is still a relative of the governor.

Seeing that the case was serious, the magistrate did not dare to make decisions, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to watch the shopkeeper who had kept the restaurant and rode his horse to the county magistrate to find the county magistrate to make decisions. Of course, the county magistrate did not dare to make decisions. He searched for the second level and finally found the governor's magistrate.

Tong Guonai was working in the yamen. When he heard that Nietai came to find him, he thought something big had happened. When he heard that his central officer was killed, Tong Guonai was so angry that he scolded the vassal of Fuzhou prefect and asked him to investigate immediately.

After the boss ordered the magistrate, he naturally put down all his work to handle the case. However, the shopkeeper and the clerk of the restaurant were taken to the prefect's office and beaten to death.

In fact, this case is very simple and it was tried in less than an hour. The Fuzhou magistrate quickly took the file to Tong Guonai to express his merits.

When Tong Guonai saw that the Fuzhou prefect came, he was very angry. Tong Shun was born in a guise and saved his life many times on the battlefield. He was originally going to be released as a general and deputy general in a few years, but he didn't expect that he lost his life in Fuzhou. The most annoying thing was that the person who attacked was too cruel and actually cut off the words and stuffed them into his mouth. Tong Guonai decided that as long as he caught the murderer, he would cut off the words and stuff them into his mouth. He had to do it when he was alive.

"Say, what the hell is going on?"

"Sir, the official found out that Tong Shun was out with his brother-in-law Jia Ba. Because Jia Ba owed others money, he asked Tong Shun to step forward."

"I didn't ask you what's going on, who did we kill Tong Shun and my personal army!"

Seeing the governor getting angry, the Fuzhou prefect quickly said, "Yes! Master! General Jia's colleague said that a few days ago, General Jia had gambled with an officer under General Li and owed him 100 taels of silver. Today I met the officer. The shopkeeper of the restaurant also confirmed that the officer and the people he brought were full of Henan accents, and there was a little more..."

Seeing the prefect stuttering, Tong Guonai glared at him and asked, "What else? Say it all!"

"Sir, Tong Shun and Jia were cut off the head and stuffed the words into their mouths. The official asked the coroner that this was the method of the gangsters in Luoyang, Henan. They blackmailed the people from other countries and could not get the money. However, the living people put the words in the words over there, and this time they cut off their heads. I don't know what this means!"

After hearing what the prefect said, Tong Guonai pondered for a moment, what the Henan people did? Most of Li Chengdong's subordinates were from Henan. Could it be that he did it? But in the past half month, Li Chengdong has restrained a lot and his army can no longer go out of the camp. Could anyone frame him?

Tong Guonai thought for a while and went to ask Li Chengdong. After all, the most Henan people in Fuzhou are his army now. If he doesn’t ask him who he wants?

Tong Guonai brought ten guards and came to Li Chengdong's mansion in Zhuangyuan Lane, Dongcheng, and asked someone to call the door.

Li Chengdong happened to be at home today because he didn't want to have a stalemate with Tong Guonai. He was just a vain and left a way out for himself. After all, it seems that the Qing Dynasty occupied most of China, and the Shenwu regime in Guangdong only occupied one province. If nothing unexpected happens, the Shenwu regime will not last long. For his own sake, he will only endure Tong Guonai.

Today, I heard from my family that the governor was here and was outside his mansion. Li Chengdong was stunned. Unexpectedly, Tong Guonai could enter his home.

Li Chengdong quickly asked someone to open the middle door and took his son Li Yuanyin out to greet him.

When Li Chengdong went out, he saw Tong Guonai's gloomy face standing at the door. Li Chengdong did not dare to be careless and quickly knelt down to welcome him.

"I don't know if Master Futai is coming, the subordinates are missing and welcome!"

"Get up, I'll ask you something today!"

"Please come to the mansion and speak!"

If Tong Guonai dares to enter his mansion, what if Li Chengdong has the intention to do it himself?

"No need, just a few words!"

After Tong Guonai said that, he asked someone to open the bag with two heads to Li Chengdong to show.

When Li Chengdong saw that there were two human heads, he was still holding the words in his mouth, which made him confused.

"Sir, what's going on?"

"Hmph! This person is an officer in my governor's yamen. At noon, he was killed by a group of Henan people at the Beicheng Restaurant. Twenty-four personal soldiers of my family were also killed. After investigation, it was said that these Henan people were soldiers in your camp."

When Li Chengdong saw Tong Guonai ask this, he quickly said, "Sir, you are wronged! Since the last accident, my subordinates have strictly ordered my subordinates not to enter the city. What he did this time must not be my soldier!"

"Who is it who is not yours? There are so many Henan people in the city? In addition, I asked the coroner that only the gangsters in Luoyang, Henan can use it. Do you say you are yours?"

"Sir, there are many subordinates from Henan, but there are absolutely no such ruthless people!"

Seeing that Li Chengdong refused to admit his guilt, Tong Guonai had no choice. After all, he had not caught anyone. He dared not take people to Li Chengdong's camp to arrest him, because Li Chengdong still has more than 50,000 troops, ten times his own. If it is not properly operated, it is easy to cause mutiny. So if you want to move Li Chengdong, you must catch him with conclusive evidence, such as rebellion and other crimes that can be said. At that time, he can execute him openly, and then his 50,000 troops fall into his hands intact.

Seeing that Li Chengdong was like this, Tong Guonai had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, you must manage your subordinates well. If such a thing happens, I will write a letter to you!"

After saying the tough words, Tong Guonai took people out of Li Chengdong's mansion. Seeing Tong Guonai taking people away, Li Chengdong cursed: "What's this bastard? How dare you treat me like this?"

Li Chengdong turned to Li Yuanyin and said, "Boyu, take people to the military camp to check, which bastard is disobeying my order and going to the city to do such a thing!"

Seeing Tong Guonai walking away, Li Yuanyin whispered: "Father, I see those two heads are like Uncle Luo's means!"

"Luo Chengyao? He is from Luoyang. How do you know it is him, Bo Yu?"

"Father, I have seen Uncle Luo bring people to blackmail local wealthy families in Yangzhou before. One of them did not take out the money. Their meat tickets were handled in this way by Uncle Luo!"

When Li Chengdong heard that it was Luo Chengyao, hesitated in his heart that Luo Chengyao was cruel and easy to kill. His status in Gao Jie's army was no less than that in Gao Jie's army. After Gao Jie's death, he was only over Luo Chengyao. But now Luo Chengyao is also slandering himself. If this matter is really something he did, it would be difficult to deal with.

Li Chengdong thought about it and decided not to investigate it. What if he fought with Luo Chengyao, wouldn’t Tong Guonai get a bargain?

"Boyu, don't check it. I'll find an opportunity to talk to Luo Chengyao about this matter." Li Yuanyin nodded and agreed.

Tong Guonai returned to the yamen and was very depressed. It was really bad that he knew who the murderer was but couldn't help. At this moment, someone asked for a meeting outside the door.

"Master Futai, Jiangning 500 miles urgently reported!"

The rush of five hundred miles seems to be a very important military situation. Tong Guonai stepped forward to take the official document envelope and opened it to watch.

After watching it, Tong Guonai broke out in cold sweat and felt like he had just walked away at the gate of hell.

It turned out that this document was sent to various provinces by the Governor of Jiangnan Hong Chengchou. The content was very simple. Jin Shenghuan of Jiangxi rebelled, and tens of thousands of old and young people in Nanchang were killed. Hong Chengchou ordered local officials in Jiangnan provinces to pay attention to the new affiliated troops in their provinces. If there is any abnormal movement, they can be executed first and then report.

You should know that Tong Guonai only brought ten people to see Li Chengdong just now. There were still hundreds of personal soldiers in Li Chengdong's mansion. If Li Chengdong had some thought, he would not have died easily.

Tong Guonai was scared and sweated. Now there are only less than 3,000 people of the Eight Banners of the Han army in Fuzhou. Because Fuzhou is located in the south and the weather is hot, there are no troops here in the Manchu Eight Banners, but only the three thousand Han army banners that come with Tong Guonai. If Li Chengdong had thought about it, these three thousand people would not be enough to stuff his teeth. Tong Guonai was so anxious that he was wandering around the ground. How could he take Li Chengdong without bloodshed? He now has official channels to know about Jiangxi in advance, but such major events will sooner or later reach Fuzhou. He was already dissatisfied with Li Chengdong, and if Li Chengdong also wanted to follow Jin Shenghuan's path, he would be finished.

Tong Guonai thought of many ways but was not practical. It seems that he had to fight Li Chengdong quickly and find an excuse to trick him into the mansion and kill him. However, it is easy to kill him, but his 50,000 troops are not easy to deal with, and he will lose his life even if he doesn't do it well. Of course, there is no way. If he can get the actual evidence of Li Chengdong's rebellion, and then find someone close to him in his army. At that time, show Li Chengdong's evidence in front of the entire army, and then that person comes forward to win over his subordinates, this may be possible.

When Tong Guonai thought of this, he suddenly remembered that his clan uncle came. He had been away from him for half a month, and no news had been heard. I wonder how it was going. Thinking of this, Tong Guonai called his family and asked him to go to the contact address left by Tong Tuchang at that time to contact Tong Tuchang, he said that he wanted to see him and ask him to find time to come.

Tong Tuchang didn't know that someone was thinking about him, so he was talking to Wang Xian in the manor at this time.

After Wang Xian came back, he told Tong Tuchang about his encounter with the Zheng family and wanted to ask Tong Tuchang what he thought.

Tong Tuchang was very cunning and knew that the Zheng family was starting to reach out to Fujian. Yes, now the Zheng family can only hide outside the Kinmen Sea, with hundreds of thousands of people crowding in a large area. Zheng Chenggong probably wanted to regain his father's lost territory, and it was not impossible to intervene in Fuzhou like this.

Tong Tuchang thought for a while and said, "Wang Qianhu, you will contact the Zheng family tomorrow. I want to meet them and see what their intentions are!"

"Sir, the enemy's situation is unknown now, please bring more people!"
