Chapter 909
Qin Zhongtang staged such a big battle and led his troops aggressively into the Ningbo Mansion, as if they were about to start a fight, but in fact they did not encounter any frontal resistance at all.

There was even Shen Kai, the prefect, who brought the local officials out of the city to meet Qin Zhongtang in accordance with the normal etiquette of his superiors.

Qin Zhongtang couldn't ignore the etiquette either. After receiving the visit from the prefect Shen, he looked around and found that there were only officials at the scene, and there were no local gentry representatives.

So he asked, "Why don't the local gentry come to greet Ben Zhongtang?"

Shen Zhifu was speechless, where did you Qin Zhongtang have the face to ask such a sentence?Don't you, Qin Zhongtang, wonder why the local gentry are unwilling to attend the welcoming ceremony?

You, Qin Zhongtang, are so aggressive, and your relationship with the local wealthy family is on fire, how do you expect others to greet you with courtesy?
Qin Dewei asked again: "Has the person surnamed Zhang who tried to beat up the shogunate commissioner and set fire to the official ship ever been arrested?"

Prefect Shen didn't want to answer this question, but he couldn't help it, and said helplessly: "The prisoner surnamed Zhang has fled, and his whereabouts are temporarily unknown."

For the local wealthy family, it is not a big deal to hide a prisoner.

Qin Zhongtang said angrily: "This prisoner surnamed Zhang burned the shogunate official ship for the second time, and even made it worse, trying to beat and kill the shogunate commissioner!

How could such a frenzied felon escape so easily?Was it hidden and sheltered by the Zhang family? "

Shen Zhifu still said helplessly: "There is no evidence to prove that the Zhang family assisted the prisoner surnamed Zhang to escape."

The most important thing is that Zhang Qishu has a good relationship with Zhang Shixing, the spokesperson of the Zhang family.

And Zhang Shixing has an elder brother named Zhang Shiche, an official from the third grade, and an uncle named Zhang Bangqi, who has just become a bachelor.

So how can a mere magistrate investigate the Zhang family?

However, Shen Zhifu also knew Qin Zhongtang's temper very well. When he was feeling uneasy, Qin Zhongtang didn't bother about the criminal's escape and hiding, but asked about other things.

"Earlier, I ordered Ningbo Mansion to disband the township soldiers, but did you execute them?" Qin Dewei asked again.

Prefect Shen bite the bullet and replied: "The team of township soldiers who beat the shogunate commissioner and were suspected of burning the shogunate official ship have all been disbanded."

Now it was Qin Zhongtang's turn to be speechless. He expected many kinds of answers, but he still didn't expect to hear such an answer. This was simply an insult to his IQ!

Qin Dewei suppressed his anger, and asked coldly: "What about the other rural soldiers who are on the evil side?"

Prefect Shen felt that instead of answering this question, it would be better to continue talking about the escape of a felon surnamed Zhang.

Then they copied the original words of the local wealthy family: "Those leaders believed that the formation of the township soldiers was ordered by the imperial court, and they raised donations on their own. They did not spend official money, and the shogunate had no right to dissolve."

Qin Dewei was not angry, but sighed, and asked Shen Zhifu: "Is it because Ben Zhongtang is too kind, causing some people to have the illusion that they shouldn't have?"

Shen Zhifu couldn't help but asked back: "Then Qin Zhongtang, what can you do?"

Thinking about it carefully, the current performance of the local wealthy families is indeed a bit of a bachelor.

Anyway, no matter how you Qin Zhongtang is, you are still an official of the court after all, and it is impossible to cut down all these gentry, or burn them all.

Anyway, these local wealthy families don't expect to get any benefits from you, Qin Zhongtang, so you can be strong without desires!
After Qin Zhongtang entered the city, he directly brought five hundred Liaodong soldiers into the former government office of Ningbo Wei. Chen Feng, the shogunate representative at the front station, had almost remodeled the government office.

The rest of the soldiers were arranged in various barracks, and they basically belonged to the Ningbo Guards.

There were no local celebrities to visit, and Qin Zhongtang's Xingyuan gate was quite deserted. No one in the local area paid attention to Qin Zhongtang, only a few old acquaintances came to talk with him.

Mr. Feng, the Secretary of Shibo, held the teacup, shook his head and said, "Qin Banqiao, your strategy for Ningbo Mansion is wrong this time."

Qin Dewei looked at Feng En in astonishment, has your master Feng been drifting recently?How dare you accuse yourself of being wrong?

I also heard Master Feng say: "Based on my many years of experience as a local official, I have to advise you that it is not advisable to blindly impose high pressure."

Qin Dewei asked curiously: "Then what's your opinion?"

Master Feng said without hesitation: "I have also thought about this issue carefully. I think that pulling a group, fighting a group, and inciting each other is the kingly way!"

Qin Dewei snorted coldly, and borrowed a sentence that Master Feng often said back then: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Master Feng quickly said: "Even if you don't do it, someone else has already done it! According to my monitoring, Yan Shifan has frequent contacts with the Yang family recently!
In my opinion, this is Yan Shifan who is wooing the Yang family!Even Yan Shifan can understand the truth, why are you so obsessed with it? "

Qin Dewei was a little confused. What is the purpose of Master Feng talking about all this?
Feng En continued: "What I mean is that Yan Shifan is a picky eater! While enjoying the benefits you gave him, he flirted with outsiders at the same time.

Why don't you give me the power to issue verification ship quotes, I'm definitely more reassuring than Yan Shifan! "

Qin Dewei: "."

After going around for a long time, this is what it means?Reporting and eye drops to Yan Shifan?

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you, Mr. Feng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also learned to fight for power and profit.

Feng En was embarrassed by Qin Dewei, "Actually, it's not what I insist on, it's really difficult.

My hometown, Songjiang Mansion, is also near the sea, and the weaving industry is well developed, so it is not too far from Ningbo Mansion.

So some folks came over and said that they also wanted to go to sea to make a living, and wanted some convenience and benefits, at least to send more boat leads. "

Qin Dewei was in a trance, the officialdom was indeed a big dye vat, and Master Feng had learned to use his power for personal gain.

Master Feng was still a little embarrassed, and changed the subject again: "Although I am a little selfish, what I said is true.

If you continue to press down on Ningbo like this, the gains may not be worth the losses, and the future situation will definitely be full of holes.

There is a saying that if you want to take something, you must first give it.You, Qin Banqiao, can't let go of any interests. Only when interests are connected can you control others!
I've heard that the local wealthy families in Ningbo will not confront you head-on, but they will not obey your orders, nor will they cooperate with you in any way.

If you want to break the situation in Ningbo and open up a new situation, you can only do what I say. "

At this time, the guards guarding the gate came in and reported: "There is a man who calls himself Xu Quan, and he is posting a message outside the gate asking to see him!"

Xu Quan is another name of Xu Weixue, a chess piece laid by Qin Zhongtang.

But Qin Zhongtang was still stunned, he didn't expect that Xu Weixue came to see him now, it must be something urgent.

Could it be that there is a flaw in the defense of Shuangyu Island?But if this is the case, Xu Weixue can just send a letter, and he himself has to be responsible for the internal response, so why go to Ningbo City to ask for credit in advance?
 I know there is a difference in the number of words in these two days, and I will make up for it during the day tomorrow
