Chapter 98 The Black Pot Li Xinbei

Shi Kefa stopped his followers from scolding, and listened to the noisy sound, and felt extremely heavy. Li Xin started a massacre in Gaoyou. He heard it invisibly and believed it was true, but what's the use? The soldiers in the city had automatically whitewashed him. Any rumors that were unfavorable to Li Xin would face the fate of attacking him in Huai'an, and all this cost only tens of thousands of stones of grain and thousands of taels of silver.

What a good means!

Moreover, the military discipline of the Revolutionary Army also shocked him. Since ancient times, there have been very few troops who could not disturb the wealthy people after breaking the city. In particular, the Revolutionary Army clearly came to rob, not occupy, but no robbery occurred in the city. This only shows that Li Xin was good at governing the army, probably no less than famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei.

According to the situation he found out, not only the Huai'an garrison was almost in love with the Revolutionary Army, but even the wealthy businessmen in Huai'an City had a great increase in their favor for the Revolutionary Army. This is a very dangerous signal. The Revolutionary Army not only gained the morale of the army, but also gradually gained the hearts of the people. If the Revolutionary Army again came to Huai'an City, the city gate would be opened directly, and the people would carry the rice and feed, and welcome the Revolutionary Army into the city.

Shi Kefa secretly smiled bitterly. Such talent is a pity that it cannot be used by the court, but the problem that Mei Jie is even more pressing is that the grain and treasury silver were robbed. He didn't know how to explain it. If so much money and food are gone, it will not be hidden for long!

"Let's go!"

Shi Kefa had no face to face the soldiers, waved his hand, went straight down the city and headed straight to the Governor's Office. Although it was night, the yamen was still busy. There was no way. Huai'an had just been looted by the revolutionary army and needed to count the losses.

In a moment, Shi Kefa summoned all the officials, with a rather unnatural expression. Eunuch Zhang was still sitting beside him, with his face still swollen. Shi Kefa asked, "Have you counted it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The warehousing officer of the Ministry of Revenue bowed and said, "When the thieves returned to the grain, the thieves robbed three million stones of grain and one and one.8 million taels of silver!"

"What?"

Shi Kefa's expression changed drastically, and this was impossible. As the governor of the canal transportation, although he was not clear about the specific number, he had a general idea. The grain was only about 100,000 stones and the silver was about tens of thousands of taels of grain.

He understood that this was similar to the Fire Dragon burning warehouse, and he pushed all the money and grain that had been deficient in the past years to Li Xin. Who told Li Xin to rob Huai'an? This is a bad thing turned into a good thing. It was impossible to make a balanced account before, but through Li Xin's robbery, it was all balanced.

Yang Xu, the governor of Huai Prefecture, also said: "The grain gulf is not only seriously damaged, but the warehouse in Huai'an Prefecture has also been looted. According to preliminary statistics, about 300,000 stones of grain and 150,000 taels of silver are lost. I also asked the grain gulf to be the leader!"

The magistrate of Shanyang was the chief official of Huai'an Fuguo County, and then said: "The Caofu, our county was robbed of 50,000 stones of grain and 32,000 taels of silver!"

"You...you!"

Shi Kefa was furious!

He suddenly realized that his subordinate Lion spoke up not only to take the opportunity to fill in the accounting, but also to lose twice in succession, his prestige declined, and he threatened himself by shaking the huge amount of accounts.

After all, if such a large amount of money and grain was robbed, Chongzhen would be furious. As the governor of the grain transportation, he would be taken to the west market to be beheaded!

"Stop the anger!"

Yang Xu bowed and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is still how to report this matter to the court."

Shi Kefa said coldly: "To be honest, at most, the head office apologizes for the head of the people, and you may not be able to escape the relationship!"

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the canal. There is no desperate situation yet, and there is still a chance to recover."

"oh?"

Shi Kefa looked over.

Yang Xu said: "The defeat at Gaoyou City can be submitted according to Commander Li's good remarks. Today's defeat can be said to be a bandit after our army retreated, and followed and fought back, surrounded Huai'an with heavy troops. The Caofu took out silver and worked hard, and recruited people to come to the city to help the battle. The bandits' artillery entered the city and hit two Caokuans. The whole warehouse was destroyed, and fortunately they were saved. Huai'an was saved."

Shi Kefa asked: "How can the military force use two million taels of silver?"

Yang Xu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "The money can be left for the future. Anyway, millions of stones of grain have been burned out. As for the next statement, the Cao Guard will consider it yourself. Can Eunuch Zhang have any additional supplements?"

"It's a thief..."

Eunuch Zhang was about to scold Li Xin, but he thought that if he really scolded, he might be reported. He was afraid of Li Xin, so he swallowed it back and hummed, "We have nothing to say."

Everyone turned their eyes to Shi Kefa. In those earnest eyes, there was disdain, sneer and contempt. Yes, no matter how upright Shi Kefa is, don’t you still have to be with Guang?

Shi Kefa was filled with sorrow and shame. He wanted to speak up righteously and harshly, but from the beginning, he chose to deceive Chongzhen. Now things are getting bigger, where can he get the qualification to blame others?

It’s like a famous brothel. Although the first time I lost my virginity was not due to my original intention, losing my virginity was losing my virginity. Compared with her sisters, no one is more chaste than anyone else!

"Hey!"

Shi Kefa was heartbroken, his face turned pale, and he sighed heavily!

...

It has been several days since he entered Gaoyou. Gao Yigong found an inn in the city, with six people and three rooms, each with one tael of silver. Even if he brought a lot of silver, he would not want to be slaughtered at the inn for nothing.

In the past few days, we have been doing things separately every day to find out the whereabouts of Gao Guiying and Li Lanzhi. However, Gao Guiying followed Li Xin to attack Huai'an. Li Lanzhi lived in the prefecture yamen, and the gates were not crossed, and the people of Gaoyou were also unfamiliar with the revolutionary army, so they didn't find out anything.

At noon that day, several people met in the guest room.

"Uncle Yigong, this is not possible. We inquire about it like a headless fly. It's okay if we have no clue, but we are afraid of being targeted!"

Zhang Nai rubbed the back of his head and said.

"Hiss~~"

Gao Yigong took a breath and said, "Where can I go to the eldest sister? The problem is that we can't be too arrogant. The person surnamed Li has been in Dengzhou for a while, and some of his subordinates have seen us."

"Why don't you come to visit me directly?"

Huimei couldn't help but say.

"inappropriate!"

Gao Yigong waved his hand: "The person surnamed Li is not a good person. Who knows what will happen if he falls into his hands? I'll wait until he comes back from Huai'an. Maybe he's defeated in Huai'an, so it's easier for us to find out."

The few people thought about this and they were speechless. Suddenly, there was a conversation coming from the lobby downstairs.

"Commander Li is about to enter the city. I heard that he won a big victory in Huai'an!"

"Then why are you coming back? Why don't you take advantage of the situation to occupy Huai'an?"

"I don't know this. By the way, I seem to have heard someone vaguely mention that Commander Li attacked Huai'an to rob grain. Since he won the battle, he should succeed."

"Let's go and have a look?"

The six people above looked at each other, all of them nodded slightly, cleaned up a little, left the inn, and found out that the revolutionary army was about to enter the city from the north gate, so they rushed to the north city.

It is not enough to say that the people of Gaoyou specially welcome Li Xin to return in triumphantly, but the Revolutionary Army has not disturbed the people since entering Gaoyou. The people even think that public security is much better than when the Ming army was stationed in the past. After all, the Ming army is not a good bird, and the Revolutionary Army is not ruthless in cracking down on street gangsters. Whether it is stealing, opening gambling files to cheat people, or even more serious crimes, they are forced to enlist in the army when caught and used as death squads, and at the same time eliminate the harm to the people.

If you are too old and are not suitable to work in the army, you will generally be sentenced to several years of labor reform.
