Chapter 1093 Handling

Chapter 1093 Processing

Not long after, more than twenty government officials and seven or eight civil servants arrived. The leader, Bo Zhangshan, went to Hanji Liquor House to find Han County Prime Minister. Han County Prime Minister heard that it was Prince Yong who came for a private visit incognito, and was almost arrested.

The magistrate of Tang County was also so frightened that his legs became weak and he hurried back to the county government office.

"Han Zhan, the Prime Minister of Beizhi County, meets His Highness King Yong!"

"Hmph! Should I call you Han County Cheng, or should I call you Han Dongzhu?"

Han Xian Cheng was ashamed, lowered his head and prepared to lose his official position. Chen Qing glared at him and said: "Because there is a more serious incident today, I can't take care of your small matter for the time being, but I warn you, if I hear about you again

If you have two jobs, just resign!"

If Han County Prime Minister was granted amnesty, he quickly promised: "I will never dare to hold a humble position again!"

Chen Qing stood on the steps and said loudly to everyone: "This time I came to Yuchi County for a private visit to inspect the brewing situation of wine. I didn't want to disturb the people, so I asked the army to come back two days later. But I didn't expect that I met an ambitious man.

Xu Wu, who is your Xu Huhu, maybe he thought that my head would allow him to obtain the glory and wealth of the court. He colluded with the county magistrate Tang Qi and tried to kill me. Now their plan was shattered, and all four of the Xu family, father and son, were killed.

All the militants who participated in the encirclement and suppression of me have also been eliminated. I will not kill him for the time being as the magistrate of Tang County. I will send people to investigate his embezzlement of official food and then liquidate them all. From now on, I will remove him from the post of magistrate of Tang Qi County.

, appointed County Lieutenant Ma Houwen to take over as County Magistrate."

Ma Houwen stepped forward and bowed, "Your humble position will definitely live up to His Highness's cultivation!"

Chen Qing asked his soldiers to give him the magistrate's seal and said to him: "Now I need you to do two things. First, put Tang Qi in prison. There will be troops to escort him. Take him down first!"

Ma Houwen quickly arranged for the prison camp and a few people to take Tang Qi to the prison and lock him up.

Chen Qing then said: "The second thing is to ask you to summon some people to collect the bodies outside the city."

Ma Houwen said quickly: "Don't bother the people. I'm here to arrange for the local soldiers to collect the corpses."

"How many rural soldiers are there in total?" Chen Qing asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are a total of one hundred and thirty rural soldiers, led by Li Dutou."

"What is Li Dutou's background?"

"Li Dutou is a fellow countryman of Tang Qi. His name is Li Sheng. He was originally a commander of the Puppet Qi Dynasty. He was nicknamed the Golden Sword General. He wields a thirty-pound sword and is very skilled in martial arts. He is a low-ranking official. Let's go find him."

"No!"

Chen Qing stopped Ma Houwen and said calmly: "They are the corpses you asked to find someone to clean up!"

Ma Houwen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he saw Li Dutou's golden knife, which was thrown to the ground like broken copper and iron. It was stained with blood. How many people had been killed?

"Let's go now!" Ma Houwen finally realized what he was doing and hurriedly led the government servants to find the civilian husband.

Chen Qing sent a soldier to follow them to guide them and show them how to handle the bodies to avoid causing an epidemic.

It was not until dusk that more than a hundred corpse cleaning teams finally ended their nightmare and returned to the county. They would never forget the bloody scene in their lives. Ma Houwen suddenly remembered the nickname of His Highness King Yong a long time ago, Human Demon.

The next step was to clean up the property of the Xu family and repatriate the servants. At this time, Yan Jun also led 3,000 cavalry to Yuchi County. Hearing that His Highness King Yong was in danger, he was really frightened into a cold sweat. Yan Jun had served as Chen Qing's close relative for a long time.

The commander-in-chief is well aware of the seriousness of this matter, which is more dangerous than any assassination.

Yan Jun secretly swore that he would never let His Highness bring a few people for a private visit again. The army must follow him. Not only that, he must report this matter to the Internal Affairs Hall.

Three days later, Chen Qing led three thousand troops to leave Yuchi County, taking away dozens of carts of the Xu family's wealth. All the land and properties occupied by the Xu family were returned to the original owners, and the Xu family's own land, properties, winery, etc.

All properties were confiscated and became government property.

The army left Yuchi County in a mighty manner. Before leaving, Chen Qing gave the innkeeper fifty guans to thank him for his help.

The shopkeeper held the ten taels of silver as if in a dream and watched the army go away. He said to himself: "It turns out to be His Highness King Yong. What a surprise! I have met a noble man."

At this time, someone tapped him on the shoulder. When the shop owner turned around, it turned out to be the new magistrate of Ma County. Ma Houwen said with a smile: "Thank you, the shop owner, for recommending me to King Yong."

The shopkeeper was speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Back in Bianliang, Chen Qing went to inspect the construction of the canal again. This time he did not pay a private visit incognito, but led three thousand cavalry south along the Cai River.

The Cai River has changed a lot compared to last year. The river channel has been widened and the river surface is very open. It can accommodate six thousand-stone ships in parallel. In this way, a three-thousand-stone warship can also use the Cai River to go to the Huai River.

Accompanying Chen Qing on the inspection of the river were Zhang Xiao, the pacifier of Henan Road, and Zhang Yuanlang, the superintendent of water affairs of Henan Road.

There are obviously more ships on the water, one after another, and there are also many fleets full of cargo, transporting goods from the south to Bianliang.

This made Chen Qing very excited. In this way, Bianliang's status as a bulk cargo distribution center was slowly established. This was also his original intention of digging the canal, giving Bianliang a chance to revitalize.

"Is the canal excavation over?" Chen Qing asked with his horse whip pointed.

Zhang Yuanlang said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, the first section is over, from Bianliang to Xiangcheng. The second section is also about to start, from Xiangcheng to Huaihe River, and then there is a third section. The third section is a branch line, mainly

Dredge the silt blockage from Yancheng to Nanton, Chenzhou, so that the Yingshui River will be connected to the Cai River, and basically all state capitals on Henan Road will be connected by waterways."

Speaking of branch lines, Chen Qing remembered the branch line between Songcheng and Caihe in Guide Prefecture. He asked: "Has the branch line from Xiangyi County in Suizhou to Tongxu County in Kaifeng Prefecture been completed?"

"Reporting to your highness, it has been completed. This way, when you go from Songcheng County to Caihe, you don't have to take a detour to Bianliang to transfer. You can go directly to Caihe through a branch line."

Chen Qing nodded, "We will strive to complete the construction within this year. With convenient transportation, goods can be transported in large quantities by water transport. Only in this way can the maximum commercial effect be achieved."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing turned around and said to Zhang Xiao: "Don't forget to sow grass seeds on both sides of the river!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The plan has been completed. 30% of the rivers have been sown this year, and the rest will be completed next year. By autumn we will have seeds, so we don't need to be busy with Beijing."

Chen Qing did not complete the tour. After completing the section of Kaifeng Mansion, he returned to Bianliang.

Back in Bianliang, Chen Qing invited Zhang Xiao over again. He would set off back to Jingzhao early tomorrow morning. He had some important things to explain to Zhang Xiao.

"Perhaps we will have an important negotiation with the imperial court in the future, which involves the issue of Bianliang's status. One of the emperor's main intentions in this Northern Expedition is to seize Xuzhou and other states, and then use these states

Exchange Bianliang with us."

Zhang Xiao sneered: "His wishful thinking is very good! Cut off our flesh in exchange for our blood."

"No! The emperor's longing for Bianliang has been turned upside down in his dreams, and it has become his biggest heartache."

"Could it be that he still wants to move the capital back to Bianliang?"

"It's definitely impossible. He just doesn't want me to move the capital to Bianliang. I have the late emperor and the prince in my hands. If the late emperor re-enthrones the throne in Bianliang, he will be unjust and unjust. So he desperately wants to get Bianliang.

Prevent the late emperor from returning to Bianliang."

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "So His Highness saw the business opportunity?"

Chen Qing nodded, "I can give him Bianliang, of course, only in name. The actual control is still in our hands. At most, we can let him appoint a Kaifeng governor and stay in Tokyo, and then I promise the late emperor not to move back to Bianliang.

It fulfilled his dream."

"I'm afraid the emperor will have to pay a heavy price for this!"

Chen Qing nodded, "Give me the entire Jinghu South Road. This is my condition."
