Chapter 513 Chapter 512 Closing the City and Martial Law

Chapter 513 Chapter 512
Qi Baoer thought of the Zhennan army guarding outside Yingzhou who saved food and drink, killed a few wild boars to celebrate with the whole camp, and surrounded the fire in the cold wind in the snow so that they could not shiver.

It's not particularly angry, after all, she is used to being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and she is not familiar with Zhennan Army, so she doesn't have the extra sentiment to get angry for someone she doesn't know well.

It's just that some are not worth it for the Zhennan Army.

The imperial court pays the Zhennan army the same as it pays to other armies. It will not pay more and may pay less. After all, the imperial court is really poor now.

And the most important point is that in the past few years, both the north and the south have been hit by disasters, and food prices have soared, but the military pay has remained unchanged, and the military pay given to the troops by the Ministry of Households in the past two years has been given in silver.

What was able to buy ten catties of grain in the past may not be able to buy half of it in the past two years.

On the other hand, Xuanjun has enough money and food.

As far as Qi Baoer knows, the Zhennan Army and the Xuan Army are still fighting each other, and it is estimated that there will be losses.

At the mouth of the gourd, there is a medicine man whose whole body is covered with poison, and the bottom of the gourd is still covered with thick snow, so it is impossible to fight.

What's more, the Xuan army has strong soldiers and uses ordinary people as human shields. What's more exaggerated is that King Xuan's brainwashing ability is so strong that many people volunteered to serve as human shields.

The last point is particularly fascinating, and Qi Baoer does not want to comment for the time being.

This caused the Zhennan Army to struggle every step of the way.

Qi Baoer has always had a very bad premonition in her heart even since her father became a general. Perhaps in the near future, her father will have to go back to Yingzhou.
-
Not only is the entire Mu City closed, but the entire city is also under martial law.

Early in the morning, there was a sound of fighting in the direction of the government office. The common people avoided the affairs of the official family. If there was such a incident, the common people would not go out without going out. Then there was martial law in the city, and soldiers were raised on the road. Soldiers with one weapon, and ordinary people, will never go out unless they have to die.

Therefore, when Qi Bao'er and the others were walking on the street, except for the soldiers and the yamen servants rushing back and forth to handle the case, there was no shadow of a single commoner.

The stores are all closed, the doors of the houses are closed, and it seems that even the air is filled with a factor called 'depression'.

As Twelve said, the government office has been surrounded by soldiers, and the gate is wide open. Qi Bao'er and others entered as if they were in no man's land.

There was that tall person with a badge, no matter how busy he was, Tan Zhifu didn't dare to neglect such a big man, so when everyone arrived at the gate of the government office, they all knelt down.

"See Lord Disaster Relief Envoy, see Lord Deputy Envoy."

As for the general Qi Kang'an, he is only a fifth-rank general now, and Tan Zhifu is a third-rank prefect, so there is no reason for him to salute.

Prince Li took a step forward, "My lords, please stand up."

Everyone hurriedly thanked En and got up, Tan Zhifu was a man of great interest, he didn't exchange any greetings, but immediately waved away other officials, and personally led Qi Baoer and others to his office.

I only prayed that Bao'er, King Li, and Tan Zhifu would enter the house. After they entered, I prayed that Kang'an would close the outer door, and even shut himself out of the house.

The intention of avoiding suspicion is very obvious.

So, don't look at generals who like to go straight, it doesn't mean that they really have no brains.

Prince Li: "How's the interrogation going?"

Tan Zhifu didn't answer immediately, but walked to the corner of the bookshelf, bowed his hands and reached into the belly of the large floor-to-ceiling vase, and took out three thick rolls of paper one by one.

Then present the scroll to Qi Baoer who is on the main seat: "My lord, this is all the statements about the people involved in the case that have been asked so far this morning."

After Qi Bao'er took it, he turned around and bowed slightly to King Lijun to answer his previous question: "Responding to the deputy envoy's words, I am ashamed, and the question is because I asked part of the missing money for the previous two disaster reliefs. It's just that they haven't asked where they transported the silver and grain to."

Qi Baoer's flipping speed is very fast, looking at the past, it is like turning the pages directly, the magistrate Tan was unconsciously attracted by the sound of turning pages when he was speaking, and then the sound became weaker and weaker, and the whole person seemed to be in a state of confusion. Some dull.

Did you see this clearly or not?

After reading one volume, Qi Bao'er handed the ones she had read to Prince Li, and then went on to turn over the second volume.

The confession and the magistrate have been sorted out, and the relationship between the front and the back can be linked, making it clear at a glance.

From the numerous confessions, it is known that Guan Wentong was completely crucified on King Xuan's ship, and it was King Xuan's intention that he changed his surname back to Guan and came to work in Mucheng.

King Xuan discovered an iron mine in Congcheng that year, and it happened that the magistrate of Congcheng died suddenly. It was King Xuan who gave Guan Wentong money in private, and asked him to donate an official to become the magistrate of Congcheng, just to mine iron ore.

Four years later, Guan Wentong was appointed as the magistrate of Muzhou. King Xuan was there for food. Muzhou was the nearest place for Lingnan to go to the capital. If Lingnan's grain was to be transported to the capital, Muzhou was the most almighty place to rob it.

So in recent years, the government suppressed more and more bandits in Muzhou, and the more they suppressed, the more rampant they became.

But Guan Wentong himself didn't know where the treasures and grains were transported, and how they were transported. He was only responsible for finding ways to get the treasures and grains, and another person was responsible for transporting them.

King Xuan didn't trust Guan Wentong either. Guan Wentong was surrounded by many people from King Xuan who were watching him. Unfortunately, those were dead men who committed suicide by taking poison if they failed.

Other people, such as wealthy businessmen and servants, know even less, and there is basically not much information available.

Some wealthy businessmen were forced to do so. Guan Wentong was the magistrate of the state. They dared not disobey him, so they had to spend money to eliminate disasters;

Some of them want to fight for the success of the dragon, not only handing over almost all their property to King Xuan, but also helping King Xuan to collect tickets everywhere.

Among the rich merchants, they want to talk about Xiang Jia, the richest man in Mucheng, who voted most sincerely. Most of the whole family has moved to Yingzhou. The Xiang family members who stayed in Muzhou were all insignificant people who could only stick to the business side of the Xiang family.

Qi Bao'er put down his confession and said, "You don't need to worry about the relief money lost in the previous two times. People who have been captured will continue to be interrogated, and investigations must be strengthened in the city. I don't want to wait until the money is brought back, because there are still people in the city. King Xuan's Anzi's money is lost again."

Tan Zhifu had already tasted the power of the praying army in the morning, and saw that the praying army obviously respected the Princess Anle very much. Although he had doubts, he still chose to believe it and replied respectfully: "Yes."

Of course, the key is that the fact that the two previous disaster relief food went missing for no reason had nothing to do with Mucheng.

His responsibility is to manage Mucheng well.

There were too many things to do today, not to mention other things, just the people caught in the morning were to be interrogated, and there were not enough people in the yamen, so Qi Baoer and others did not stay longer than the government yamen, and left after reading the confession.

Then go straight to the west gate.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the city, a total of 2 people from the Prayer Army and Huotou soldiers had assembled and were waiting here.

Soldiers are extremely fast, knowing where the silver grain is hidden, naturally go to get it back as quickly as possible first.

They went to the Fuya just by passing the Fuya from the post station to the west gate.

Qi Bao'er was still riding her silver boy, at the head of the army, and raised her little hand:
"Let's go!~"
