Qin Xiao knew that the Ministry of Personnel had the authority to evaluate officials, and Song Shilian came from the Ministry of Personnel. When it came to how to make things difficult for officials, he was definitely not as good as this doctor from the Ministry of Personnel.
At this time, I couldn't help but think that it was just right for the imperial court to send Yunlu and Song Shilian this time. If these two people cooperated with Long Ruijun behind them to clean up in western Liaoning, it would be twice the result with half the effort. The saint could send
These two people came to the Northeast, which was considered wise.
"Sir, how did you escape from danger?" Song Shilian changed the subject and asked cautiously: "Those assassins...?"
Qin Xiao could only repeat what Tang Rong said, but of course he also made some changes. He only said that his acupuncture points were blocked and the assassin relaxed his vigilance. When he broke through the acupuncture points, the assassin did not notice it and then took the opportunity to make a surprise attack.
Assassin, turn danger into safety.
Regarding the matters involving Su Baoping, Bank of China Dengye and others, naturally not a single word was revealed.
Needless to say, Su Baoping is clearly a key criminal wanted by the imperial court. The Purple-clothed Supervisor has spent many years investigating, so his relationship with Su Baoping must not be known to others.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. Although they felt that Little Lord Qin escaped too smoothly, since Qin Xiao said this, everyone did not want to ask more questions.
"Are the assassins sent by the Liaodong Army?" Yuwen Chengchao asked.
Qin Xiaodao: "They didn't reveal their identities directly, but that's the case in all likelihood."
"In the future, more people should be assigned to protect the general." Yu Wenchengchao said with a stern expression: "Wang Xingchao is also a famous general, but he resorted to such despicable methods, which is really disgusting."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "He missed this time, and he will definitely not make any big moves again for a while." After a pause, his face became serious, and said: "But since he did this, it also proved that he is very important to me and
Long Ruijun is indeed filled with hatred, and he never knows when he will stir up trouble."
"What the general said is absolutely true." Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "So we can only seize the time and strengthen ourselves, so that the Liaodong Army will not dare to act rashly."
Qin Xiao looked at Yun Lu and said, "Master Yun, is there any conclusion on the case of robbing official silver?"
"The evidence we have so far can only prove that Liaoxi County Governor Gongsun Shang and County Lieutenant Qiao Mingshui were involved." Yun Lu immediately said solemnly: "Yu Wenlang will hand over Fang Wei, the staff of the County Governor's Mansion, to the lower official, and the lower official will also
After personal interrogation, although this person admitted that he was involved in Gongsun Shang's death, he only said that it was a personal grudge and did not testify about anyone else."
Huo Mianzhi said: "Fang Wei was sent here by Wang Xingchao, and his family members are all in Liaodong. No matter what, he will not involve Wang Xingchao and the Liaodong Army."
"That's true." Yun Lu frowned and said, "I can see that his attitude is very determined, and he seems to be determined to die. It is not easy to dig out evidence of the Liaodong Army or even Wang Xingchao's crimes from his mouth. Even if he admits, if
There is no conclusive evidence at hand to prove that the Liaodong Army was behind it, and he can retract his confession at any time...!" But then he said: "Don't worry, Sir, I will do everything possible...!"
Qin Xiao had already shaken his head and interrupted: "Master Yun, in my personal opinion, it is really not appropriate to uncover the Liaodong Army in this case at this time."
Everyone was startled, but Xuanyuan Chong was the first to understand and said: "Your Majesty does not want to have a direct conflict with the Liaodong Army too early. If this case really involves the Liaodong Army, or even Wang Xingchao himself, things will become complicated.
It’s extremely complicated, and it might force the Liaodong Army to take the lead in attacking...!"
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Colonel Xuanyuan is right. Everyone knows that although we have temporarily settled in western Liaoning, our strength is still very different from that of the Liaodong Army. In this case, we still have to try our best to avoid direct conflict with them.
"
"Sir, what about the bank robbery case...?"
"I think Gongsun Shang committed suicide out of fear of crime." Qin Xiao said: "Gongsun Shang and Qiao Mingshui conspired to create a major silver robbery case. All they have to do is trace their accomplices in Liaoxi. Gongsun Shang is dead, and the position of Liaoxi County Sheriff is vacant.
, naturally someone needs to fill the position." He looked at Song Shilian with a smile and said: "Sir Song, I would like to recommend someone, you can write to the court and let the Ministry of Personnel discuss it to see if the person I recommend is suitable."
Song Shilian smiled and said: "Who does Sir Sir want to recommend?"
"Baiyulou!" Qin Xiao said: "He is well-read in poetry and books. He is a great Confucian in the Northeast. He has students all over the Northeast. In addition, he also served as an official in Kyoto and has experience in being an official."
Song Shilian smiled and said: "The imperial court will naturally consider the person recommended by the lord. I will immediately prepare a report and send it back to the capital. However, Gongsun Shang committed suicide, and the Anton Protectorate will definitely not be idle, and they should also report to the imperial court."
Recommend new candidates.”
"I think under this situation, I'm afraid no one from the Liaodong Army will come to pick up this hot potato." Yuwen Chengchao said with a faint smile.
Qin Xiao also smiled. Now that Guangning is in the hands of Long Ruijun, and the Liaodong Army sends someone to take over, it is almost like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
"Master Huo, Mr. Bai proposed the land equalization policy. Once implemented, it will be of great benefit to the people of western Liaoning." Qin Xiao looked at Huo Mianzhi and said gently: "If he can serve as the governor of Liaoxi County and implement the land equalization policy,
will.....!"
Huo Mianzhi said with a smile: "Does the Lord think that the subordinate will be dissatisfied?"
He is the Commander-in-Chief of Liaoxi County. He is one person below ten thousand people in Liaoxi Province. Now that Gongsun Shang is dead, Bai Yulou is allowed to directly override him. An ordinary person would naturally feel a little unwilling.
"Mr. Bai is a great Confucian scholar, and Yingcaotang's land equalization policy had been sketched out many years ago." Huo Mianzhi said calmly: "Xiaguan has always felt that although the land equalization policy is a wonderful idea, it is simply unreasonable to implement it in the Northeast.
It's just an idiot's dream. But I didn't expect that the Duke would come and strongly support the implementation of the land equalization policy in western Liaoning. If the land equalization policy can indeed be implemented and benefit the people, Xiaguan will naturally give his full support. Mr. Bai will be in charge of Liaoxi, and Xianguan will stand by.
Assistance, if you can really accomplish this, you will have no regrets in this life."
Everyone present was in awe when they heard what Huo Mianzhi said.
"Master Huo said this, I am happy in my heart." Qin Xiao was also moved and said: "The real strength of a country is not the strength of its soldiers and horses, but the fact that its people can live a prosperous life. Only in this way can it be a strong country. A strong army.
But if the people are weak, the country is rich but the people are poor, such a country is far from being strong, and it will certainly not last long." Looking around, he looked at the crowd and said, "I just want to work with you to not only build a strong army, but
Soldiers and horses, but also to make the people in the Northeast live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life."
He spoke sincerely, but everyone present stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Xiao.
"Everyone is sitting down." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Without your help, everything is just a castle in the air." He then asked Yun Lu: "How to deal with the case of privately hiding weapons?"
"Hucao Cao Guan Tian Shichao hid the weapons. He has confessed, but he did so under the instruction of Chunyu Bu." Yun Lu said: "Chunyubu formed a gang for personal gain, supported the bandits for his own sake, and even killed good people and took credit for their merits. With Tian Shichao as a witness,
The official is also collecting evidence. There are many people involved in this case, and Xian Yufeng, the captain of the Guangning Army, is also involved. Although Xian Yufeng has not fully admitted it, the official believes that two more trials will be enough.
As long as Xian Yufeng admits to colluding with Chun Yubu, coupled with Tian Shichao's testimony, Chun Yubu can almost be convicted."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If the case is finally finalized, how to deal with it will be left to the imperial court. At that time, someone will be sent to escort all those involved in the crime to Kyoto and hand them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for punishment."
Yun Lu was startled, but he immediately understood, cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I understand."
Chunyubu had been the guard general of Yuguan before and was also a tiger general of the Liaodong Army. He was convicted in western Liaoning. If he was dealt with directly by the western Liaoning side, it would inevitably make people think that this was the Liaodong Army seeking public benefit for personal gain and taking the opportunity to suppress the Liaodong Army.
Although this is indeed the case, if there is no scruple, it will still arouse great hatred among the officers and soldiers of Liaodong.
Handing these people over directly to the imperial court and having them dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment would at least make people feel that what Qin Xiao and Long Ruijun did was in compliance with the imperial court's wishes.
If the Ministry of Punishment convicts Chun Yubu, Xian Yufeng and others of serious crimes, or even beheads them directly, that would be the attitude of the imperial court, and it was not Long Ruijun's direct action. If the Ministry of Punishment finally gives a light sentence, it doesn't matter to Qin Xiao.
.
Qin Xiao's purpose in designing the ordnance case was not to take the lives of people like Chun Yubu, but to use this case as an opportunity to get Yuguan in his hands. Now that Yuguan is in the bag, the purpose is achieved, and Chun Yubu's
Life and death are actually not important at all.
"The next two most important things are to prepare to implement the land equalization policy." Qin Xiao said slowly: "The second is to establish a trading center in Heishan." Looking at Xuanyuan Chong, he saw a look of surprise on his face.
He said with a smile: "Colonel Xuanyuan, I will discuss this matter with you in detail."
Xuanyuan Chong was a little confused, but still nodded.
"The Liaodong Army has been able to continue in the Northeast for nearly a hundred years. In the final analysis, it is because the taxes of the Northeast are in their hands." Qin Xiao's expression became grim: "If financial resources are the blood vessels in the human body, the Liaodong Army has two blood vessels.
One is naturally the tax of the four northeastern counties, and the other is the Fucheng Trading Ground based on Shibafang in the north. As far as I know, the Liaodong Army uses the Fucheng Trading Ground to trade with the northern tribes all year round, making huge profits.
As long as these two blood vessels exist, the Liaodong Army will receive a steady stream of blood, and defeating them will be even harder than climbing to the sky."
Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "Then cut off their blood vessels."
"General Yu Wenlang is right." Qin Xiao said: "Although we have settled in western Liaoning, there are still three counties under their control, and a large amount of fertile land is also under their control. They cannot cut off this blood vessel for a while.
." His eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "But this blood vessel of the trade field will be cut off by them no matter what!"
