Chapter 722 The Invisible Net

The greatest fear in the world is the unknown. Now that he understands the thinking of the new supervisor, Datong Governor Shi Dao feels relieved.

After seeing Qin Dewei, Governor Shi came out with Wang Zongbing, and before getting on his horse, he deliberately said to Wang Zongbing: "Now I can feel at ease for the time being."

Wang Zongbing asked back: "How can you see it?"

Governor Shi replied: "The thing that our court was most afraid of before was that this superintendent was young and aggressive, and ordered the officers and soldiers to fight against the Ida army. I was afraid that they would lose.

Or for the sake of the safety of Yanghe City, where the governor is stationed, the elite soldiers of Datong City were forcibly taken away to Yanghe City, so that the more critical Datong City lost thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air. "

Of course, Wang Zongbing also understood that no matter what kind of chaos above, he, the military officer who directly led the troops, would be in a dilemma.

Governor Shi continued: "But if Governor Qin just wants to send troops to burn wasteland, then it's not a problem."

Right now, the Anda army is still wandering in the hinterland of Shanxi, and the defenders of the Ming Dynasty can only fortify the wall and clear the field. It will take a month after the Ida looting is completed and slowly retreated to the outside of the Great Wall.

As for the other two forces of the northern captives, Ji Nang is supporting Ida in the direction of Hetao, and the little prince's troops are on the side of Xuanfu.

Therefore, the next month is considered a time difference. The risk of going out from the direction of Datong to burn wasteland is not great, at least within one or two hundred miles, there is no problem, and besides, it is indeed the season of burning wasteland.

In the end, Governor Shi said with a burst of blood: "As long as Governor Qin doesn't command the war indiscriminately, he can hold it safely, and there will be no major mistakes."

Zongbing Wang still sighed. Compared with blind military command, he was actually more afraid of Governor Qin engaging in "politics" and deliberately targeting him to investigate problems.

The main reason is that he himself is not clean. Some time ago, I answered that I gathered a few tribesmen for an unprecedented large-scale invasion. He, the commander-in-chief, was afraid of the power of the northern captives, so he secretly sent people to bribe me, so I answered no. After attacking Datong City, they went south and went deep.

If these things are found out by the new supervisor, the consequences will be disastrous.

But Wang Zongbing was inconvenient to confide his feelings to Governor Shi, so he could only insinuate and say: "But there is also the rebellion of the clan Zhu Chongzhuo, how do you know that I won't be involved?
Back then, I was appointed as the Chief Military Officer of Datong Town because of Zhang Zan, the former Chief Sima of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Zan was eliminated by the Qin Governor.

If Governor Qin regards me as an enemy because of this, what should I do if I make use of the problem? "

It turned out that this was what Wang Zongbing was most worried about. After thinking about it from the perspective of a civil servant, Governor Shi said with certainty:

"No, Supervisor Qin is just using it to beat you and urge you to gather elite cavalry to form a new battalion as soon as possible!

If Inspector Qin intended to make trouble against you, he would definitely want to avoid making troubles, and he would not have publicly reprimanded you just now. "

Normal civil servants in charge of their own affairs basically follow this routine, and Governor Shi understands this very well.

Wang Zongbing bowed to Governor Shi and said: "You civil servants still have a little bit of respect for the younger generation before and after the school, and we military officers can't talk anymore. Please Futai speak a few words in front of the governor."

Governor Shi naturally agreed: "It's easy to talk! We are officials in the town and the same city, so we should work together."

Wang Zongbing followed suit and said, "Futai is right!"

After parting, Governor Shi secretly sneered, can you hide the matter of Wang Zongbing bribing the North Prison from others, can you hide it from the governor of the same city?
This is a handle that can only be used at critical moments.

Compared with the governor and general soldier who were guarding Datong towns and had a clear division of labor, Governor Xuanda really looked like an "outsider".

It is reasonable to declare that the governor's residence should be in Yanghe City, a hundred miles away, and then perform their duties, instead of going to Datong City to increase the degree of power involution.

The next day, when Qin Dewei was sitting in the living room having breakfast, Jin Ruquan, a military officer in the governor's office who hadn't slept all night but was in high spirits, appeared in front of him.

And reported: "Last night, the bandit leader surnamed Luo was mainly interrogated, and more than a dozen believers were confessed."

Supervisor Qin said a little strangely: "But I heard that Patriarch Naluo claims to have hundreds of disciples."

Jin Ruquan replied: "That's a claim after all. It's the same as Cao Cao's so-called 81 army. There are only a dozen or so close followers."

Supervisor Qin clapped the desk and said, "This moisture is too much!"

Originally thought it might be a big case involving hundreds of people, but I didn't expect the scale to shrink dozens of times, which is simply unreasonable.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so the subordinates can only continue to catch people.

More than a dozen believers dare to call themselves patriarchs. The White Lotus Sect is like this. The organization is very fragmented, and the believers are fragmented. In other words, there are few unified large-scale organizations.

Even if one "Patriarch" is caught, there are still several Patriarchs in the same area, anyway, they can't be wiped out for hundreds of years.

But such a bulk situation also led to the fact that the White Lotus Sect's ability to rebel is really mediocre, far inferior to that of the Yellow Turban and Taiping.

After Qin Dewei had finished his breakfast, he saw the servant Wang Da come to report: "Then Prefect Liu is here again!"

Qin Dewei was a little surprised and asked, "What is he doing here?"

Wang Da replied: "Judging from his tone, it seems that he is extremely grateful to the master, and he looks like he wants to take refuge in him."

Qin Dewei got up and went to the reception flower hall, and ordered Liu Zhifu of Datong to be brought in.

Sure enough, Liu Zhifu came up and offered a big gift, and said gratefully: "The superintendent is so kind and virtuous, I feel very grateful to the next official, and I don't know how to repay it!"

Qin Dewei frowned, feeling that the prefect was too flattering, what kind of kindness?As for that?
I am just a governor whose main direction is military affairs, and I don't directly manage Liu Zhifu.

Liu Zhifu observed his words and expressions, and probably felt that he had gone too far, but Governor Qin didn't understand what he meant, and quickly explained:

"I have been in the officialdom for many years, and I have never seen such a wise and decisive person as the supervisor! So I can't help it for a while, please don't blame the supervisor!"

So Qin Dewei finally understood where Liu Zhifu was excited.

The night before last night, Zhifu Liu just gave him a gift, and he had completely "handled" Zhu Chongzhuo yesterday, so Liu Zhifu had a little misunderstanding.

Probably in Liu Zhifu's mind, he, Governor Qin, is really a top-notch person, he will really do things after receiving the gift, and he will do it neatly and without sloppy, he is really the highest quality Shangguan.

Moreover, prefect Liu also judged based on his experience in the officialdom that through this successful "transaction", trust has been established between the prefect and the governor, the relationship can go further, and there can be more possibilities.

Thinking of this, Inspector Qin became a little tired, and scolded bluntly: "Shut up! This Inspector uncovered Zhu Chongzhuo's treason case, and his purpose is to eradicate traitors for the country, and has no other intentions!"

Don't use your decadent and dirty officialdom culture to deconstruct other people's righteous actions indiscriminately!
Liu Zhifu hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes! The supervisor is right, he is just killing traitors for the country! The lower officials are superficial!"

For such an "official old man", even the sharp-tongued big-talker Qin Dewei can't really scold him.

So he could only wave his hand and said impatiently: "If you have nothing else to do, step back!"

Liu Zhifu hurriedly said again: "Actually, the reason why I came here this time is because I heard that the supervisor wants to send troops to burn the wasteland."

Qin Dewei's face became serious in an instant, and he shouted: "You, a magistrate, dare to spy on military planes! Where did you know about it?"

How can this horse-riding man make such a reason? I only told the governor and the general soldier my "intent" to burn the wasteland last night. How could the magistrate know it today?Can it still be kept secret?

Liu Zhifu hurriedly shouted: "Supervisor, don't be angry! Today the governor ordered the subordinate officials to prepare food, grass and military supplies, and the subordinate officials occasionally heard a sentence from the governor, saying that they were used for burning wasteland and sending troops."

The details in the officialdom are very meaningful, and Qin Dewei immediately thought, Governor Shi deliberately disclosed the information to the magistrate to burn wasteland?

He didn't believe that this was a coincidence of gaffes, but it could explain two points, the governor of the first history and the prefect Liu should be in the same group;

The second time magistrate Liu came to find him, maybe it also represented Governor Shi's will, and there must be something wrong.

As for why Governor Shi didn't come forward to say it in person, it's called "the king doesn't see the king".

In today's officialdom, although the governor's level of power is slightly lower than that of the governor, and he is slightly inferior in etiquette, his actual rank is not much different, and he is usually regarded as an official of the same rank.

Qin Dewei rubbed his forehead subconsciously, the imperial court sent its own governor to announce the military affairs, in order to resist foreign enemies.

As a result, there was no sign of the happy war, and the entangled official disputes appeared first.

What about this country!fixed question!I'm lost in thought!
Of course, Liu Zhifu didn't know what Governor Qin was thinking, so he continued according to his own draft:

"The supervisor also knows that I, Ming Dynasty, implemented a policy of severing tribute to the northern captives and cut off business ties.

However, the northern captives urgently needed the products of the Han land, from salt, tea, utensils, and even every needle and thread.

Therefore, the prices of products in Handi are very expensive in Hudi, and they can even be exchanged for gold directly. "

Supervisor Qin asked calmly, "So what?"

Liu Zhifu was afraid that the governor would be impatient to listen, so he sped up his speech and said: "Because of the huge profits, smuggling along the side wall has been banned repeatedly, but it is just a small matter. There is a good way, but there are other ways."

Qin Dewei, who has heard the string song and knows the elegant meaning, has never seen it for five hundred years before and five hundred years later, but he pretended to be interested, and asked pretending not to know: "What method?"

Liu Zhifu was "shocked" and said: "It is to go out to burn wasteland! Only by burning wasteland can we go deep into the grasslands in an open and honest way, and we can transport large quantities of supplies in the name of military supplies!"

There are four main reasons why Prefect Liu dared to disclose so boldly in front of Governor Qin:
First, Governor Qin does things when he receives money. He is particular about people. He seems to have a good reputation. He can talk about things that he will not admit when he leaves the house.

Second, Inspector Qin doesn't seem to be "disgusted" with the word "smuggling". Zhu Chongzhuo has always wanted to expose smuggling, but Inspector Qin has never said anything about it.

Thirdly, Governor Qin did not hesitate to accept a heavy gift, and he was not someone who cared about windfall money.

Fourth, he, Liu Yong, did not give specific excuses, but just stated such a phenomenon.

Qin Dewei continued to pretend not to understand: "Then what do you mean when you mention this? I just want to remind my supervisor to beware of officials who burn wasteland secretly carrying supplies and smuggling them?"

Liu Zhifu laughed a few times with a "hehe", "The supervisor must have understood it, so there is no need to go into details."

After thinking for a while, Qin Dewei replied: "This supervisor not only doesn't understand, he doesn't even know anything."

Prefect Liu didn't understand for a while, what does the phrase "don't know" mean.

Qin Dewei said it again in detail: "You are all old local officials, and you are capable of arranging some things on your own. Originally, you didn't need my supervisor to contribute, so my supervisor didn't know anything about it."

It was only then that Liu Zhifu suddenly realized that it meant that he could turn a blind eye.

So he also responded: "What the supervisor said is very true, some small things don't need the supervisor to personally do it."

Qin Dewei thought about it again, and revealed some more information: "This time, the officer may personally lead the team to go out for hundreds of miles to make meritorious deeds."

Liu Zhifu immediately blessed and said: "Here, I wish the supervisor a success! If necessary, the subordinate officials will directly contact the officer in charge of the bid or the flag officer."

After leaving the mansion, Liu Zhifu quickly went to the North City Procuratorate, where the governor of Datong was stationed.

After reporting the conversation with Inspector Qin, Liu Zhifu said again: "Looking at Inspector Qin's intention, there is no doubt about interfering in the smuggling business unintentionally."

Governor Shi still had a little bit of doubt in his heart, "When this court was in the capital, we heard a lot about Qin Dewei.

It is rumored that this is a person who likes to catch fame and reputation, and does not value money at all.

That's why the court predicted just now that Qin Dewei might not accept smuggling for profit, but how could he agree to you. "

The well-informed Liu Zhifu smiled and said: "It's not surprising, there are not a few officials who are cautious in their words and deeds in a place like the capital, but they let themselves go when they arrive.

Besides, Beijing officials have a lot of entertainment and spend a lot of money, but the actual salary is low. If there is an opportunity to make money when they are sent out, who would dislike the lack of money? "

Governor Shi nodded and said: "This is reasonable, you go ahead and prepare! But you still have to remember that Qin Dewei must not discover evidence that directly involves you and me."

Liu Zhifu promised: "The lower officials will naturally know, and everything will be done according to Futai's instructions. But the commander-in-chief still needs to go to Futai to say hello. After all, those who are sent to burn wasteland are officers and soldiers."

When Liu Zhifu left, Governor Shi sent someone to contact Wang Zongbing, and the two made an appointment to meet at night.

Governor Shi persuaded Zongbing Wang: "This time, according to the order of Governor Qin, we will gather elite soldiers to go out to burn the wasteland. General Wang, you should be careful when selecting personnel."

Wang Sheng didn't understand Governor Shi's meaning, so he asked, "Why are you so cautious?"

Governor Shi said more specifically: "First, you should not lead a team to burn wasteland; second, try not to let your cronies do it."

Wang Zongbing asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

Governor Shi replied: "This is to prevent Qin Dewei from playing any tricks again. You are not in the burning team and you have no cronies, so naturally you don't have to take responsibility."

At first glance, Wang Zongbing felt that what Governor Shi said seemed reasonable, so he agreed.

If Qin Dewei really wanted to do something, he wouldn't be able to stop it, but he wouldn't be able to involve himself either.

After sending Wang Zongbing away, Governor Shi smiled triumphantly, and an invisible net gradually took shape.
