Gu Qian was shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to stop, and trotted all the way into the signing room.

"Lord Zhentai, are you looking for me?" Gu Qian said unevenly.

"The dignified court official, so uncontrollable, I don't know what Xu Shangde likes about you. Zhou Zhentai sat on the top and said with a stiff face.

Frightened? Xu Zashi? Why is it him again? Could it be that this Zhou Zhentai is also his student? Gu Qian boldly looked at Zhou Zhentai a few times, could this thin old man be middle-aged? Hey, no, judging from Zhou Zhentai's official position, he should have made his debut quite early!

"Don't guess, I'm the same year as Brother Shangde. ”

Oh, oh, Gu Qian understood, just like him and Chen Jian, these two were also Jinshi in the same period, no wonder Old Man Zhou was full of confidence, it turned out that there were fellow parties in the court! But what should he call Zhou Zhentai? Gu Qian felt that his head was a little big, he was a little confused about the order of ancient officialdom, so he couldn't call the old man uncle, right?

"It looks very clever, why is it full of straw. Zhou Zhentai looked at his eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't spoil the old man's big business." ”

"Lord Zhentai, what are you talking about?" Gu Qian replied.

Zhou Zhentai shook his head and decided not to talk nonsense with Gu Qian, and went straight to the point. "What did Duan Guangrong say?"

"I didn't say anything," Gu Qian said embarrassedly: "He just wanted to say something considerate to Duan Wenrui, but Governor Xiao sent someone in." After knowing that Old Man Zhou was the same year as Xu Shangshu, Gu Qian also let go and tentatively revealed some news.

"Just what you do, do you still want to hide it from me?" Zhou Zhentai snorted from his nose and said, "Even if you get the evidence from Duan Guangrong, what if you don't get the evidence?" As long as the people behind Xiao Yuqing don't fall, they will ensure that he is safe and sound, but you ......" The old man snorted and said, "Even your Teacher Xu won't be able to save you at that time." ”

Gu Qian was shocked and said, "How is this possible?"

"I have all been relegated from Beijing to Fujian, and I don't have a brain at all. Zhou Zhentai hated iron and said: "Even the old man is shy away from Xiao Yuqing, where can you have the ability to compete with him as a small magistrate? Why do you think he is shallow in the small silver kiln in the countryside?"

Gu Qian's face was solemn, and he bowed down and bowed, "Please make it clear to Lord Zhentai." ”

"Hmph, the one behind him is mediocre, but he has won the trust of the saint, although this person is a vegetarian meal, but he is a greedy person for money, Xiao Yuqing has always loved fame, so he naturally doesn't want to loot too hard, but if he doesn't give gifts, how can he please that person? So he had to hit the idea on the silver kiln in a remote place. ”

"I see. "No wonder a person like Duan Guangrong can hook up with the prefect, it turns out that there is such a reason hidden. But now Duan Wenrui has given all the silver deposits in Beixiang, and ......, "And they have all carved it up, Lord Zhentai, Lord Prefect, and Lord General have all participated in the ranks of sharing the spoils, and even Gu Qian himself has a small share, can the Xiao Governor still let them spit out the silver they eaten?"

"These dead things are divided, and those that are difficult are alive. Zhou Zhentai stroked his beard and said, "Have you ever thought about how to deal with the Beixiang Silver Kiln?"

"This ......" Gu Qian was embarrassed, according to his plan, it was the best policy for Beixiang to be completely annihilated, and it was the best policy for Nanxiang Yu Sanli to integrate all of them, but when things came to this point, he couldn't help it. Seeing Zhou Zhentai, who was on the top, staring at him with blazing eyes, Gu Qian's forehead was sweating, and he said bitterly: "It's better to return it all to the government!"

"Are you willing?"

Gu Qian was as painful as cutting meat: "Willing to do it." ”

"I'm not willing to give it up if you're willing to give it up!" Zhou Zhentai blew his beard and glared at him: "I finally ruined Xiao Yuqing's plan, and I also divided the deposit of Beixiang with the military, and now you want to give away the fruits of victory, and I don't know whether to praise you for being generous or scold you for being stupid!"

When Gu Qian heard this, his heart was relieved, and he said happily: "Could it be that Lord Zhentai has a way?"

"There is a way, but it still needs your cooperation. ”

"Please make it clear to Lord Zhentai that the lower officials will never give up!"

"Okay, you come here. Zhou Zhentai approached Gu Qian and whispered a few words, Gu Qian's brows first frowned tightly, and then slowly stretched out, and finally, he couldn't help but laugh and said to Zhou Zhentai with admiration: "Lord Zhentai is high, and the lower officials admire!"

"Wear less high hats, hurry up and get to work!"

"Yes!"

With a bottom in his heart, as soon as he sent Zhou Zhentai away, Gu Qian summoned Gu Tai and others to come over to discuss the matter.

"Are you saying that Lord Zhentai and Xu Shangshu are the same year?" Gu Tai said in surprise: "I really didn't see it." ”

Gu Qian sighed sympathetically: "Yes, this old man looks stubborn and hard, but I didn't expect his heart to be good." The corners of Gu Tai's mouth twitched when he heard this, he had a good heart? Do you think you are excited to have an ally, right? Otherwise, with Zhou Zhentai's appearance, he didn't see where he had a good heart.

"Okay, let's get down to business, what do you think of Zhou Zhentai's idea?"

"It's risky, but it's worth a try. ”

Gu Qian's fingers tapped on the table, carefully scrutinized the details of this plan, and finally decided, do it! "Xiao Jiu!"

"Here!" Gu Xiaojiu stood up and said with a smile on his face: "What does the master command?"

"Go and invite Duan Wenrui. ”

"Okay. ”

Duan Wenrui arrived soon and saw Gu Qian sitting in the signing room, Duan Wenrui was held up by Gu Qian before he kowtowed.

"No courtesy. ”

Duan Wenrui was stunned for a moment, and he was not polite, so he stood up, "I don't know why the eldest master is looking for the little one?"

Gu Qian saw that his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of coldness in his expression, he couldn't help touching his nose and said embarrassedly: "You sit down first." ”

Duan Wenrui thanked him and sat down as he said.

"That, Xiao Duan!" Gu Qian was a little unsure of Duan Wenrui's thoughts, so he could only stubbornly speak: "I don't know what your plans are for the future of Beixiang?"

Duan Wenrui smiled when he heard this: "Master, what will happen to Beixiang in the future, where can I be helped?"

Yes, this person is really an understanding person, Gu Qian looked at him, but when he saw that under the lights, Duan Wenrui was handsome and calm, and he couldn't help but appreciate it a little in his heart.

"Although Duan Guangrong was arrested and all the silver deposits in Beixiang were exhausted, the output of the Beixiang Silver Kiln is still there, and this alone can't extinguish the covetousness of some people!" Gu Qian said as he looked at Duan Wenrui, only to see that his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was slightly loosened.

"This official is the parent official of Qingjiang County, even if he has some selfish intentions, but he still can't bear to endure the hardships of the people under his rule, and I want to discuss the affairs of Beixiang with you when I come to you today. ”

Duan Wenrui understood what Gu Qian meant, and this was to show his loyalty! However, if Gu Qian could protect the Beixiang Silver Kiln from being taken away by the government, then what could Duan Wenrui not do? He hated Duan Guangrong, but the villagers in Beixiang had no enmity against him.

"If the eldest master can really protect the Beixiang Silver Kiln from being taken away by the government, even if he goes to the soup and fire, Wen Rui will not give up!"

"Okay, with this sentence in the small paragraph, the official is relieved. Gu Qian stroked the beard that did not exist on his chin at all, and said with a smug face: "There is a saying called putting oneself to death and then being born......

Duan Wenrui raised his eyebrows, waiting for his next step.

"So, sir, my solution is to blow up the kiln!"

Looking at Gu Zhixian, who was calm and relaxed, Duan Wenrui almost slapped him in the face. He doesn't know what he's talking about! The silver kiln is the lifeblood of the people of Beixiang, and if it is blown up, how will the people of Beixiang live in the future?!

"Master, this matter is not possible for Shu Wenrui!" Duan Wenrui's eyes were bloodshot and he refused angrily.

"Don't worry, you listen to me first. Gu Qian looked at the angry Duan Wenrui and smiled meaningfully, "The kiln is fried for some people, won't you do something in it?"

"You mean?" Duan Wenrui was a little clearer, and his complexion was a little more relaxed, but considering the operability of it, Duan Wenrui made another difficulty, "But where does the explosives come from?

"I don't understand the proportions, you can weigh this yourself, and it's better to get Cheng Dù who makes people unable to return to work at a glance. Gu Qian saw that Duan Wenrui was still frowning, and continued: "As for the explosives, isn't that how much or how much?"

"How is this possible?" Duan Wenrui suddenly raised his head and said: "The explosives in the workshop are quantitative, even if you buy an extra catty, you have to go to the government for archiving, how can you use it casually." ”

"In extraordinary times, there are extraordinary solutions. Gu Qian snorted angrily at the place where the army was stationed, "Won't you think of a way from there?"

Duan Wenrui stared at Gu Zhixian, who was sitting at the top and looked at him with a smile, and only one thought came to his mind: This person is crazy!

"Sir, that's an ordinary!"

"I know," Gu Qian's old god said, "You just follow Xiao Jiu, I have my own arrangements for this matter." ”

Duan Wenrui will be suspicious, but since he has responded to Gu Qian, he can only bite the bullet, not to mention that there are also Gu Daye's cronies among the people who act together, and when something happens, he may not be able to let himself go up alone.

With seven or eight points of caution, Duan Wenrui took a few people and Gu Xiaojiu to the place where the army stored the munitions, and as soon as he got there, Gu Xiaojiu asked someone to unload the several big cars he was carrying, and took the fragrant wine and meat from the cars to comfort the officers and soldiers who guarded the munitions here.

"Everyone eat and drink well, there is enough wine and meat!" Gu Xiaojiu held the wine bowl and toasted one by one.

The soldiers guarding the arms belong to the logistics soldiers, who are desperately guarding the arms supply every day, and have no chance to go to the front line to make money, and they have long complained in their hearts.

They also want to get rich, and they also want to drink and celebrate their achievements with high spirits! But for the sake of the safety of the munitions, people live in the city, so they can only eat and sleep outside...... What a grandma's bear.

Gu Qian figured out the thoughts of these people, and had already given Gu Xiaojiu a good opportunity to come to the labor army in the middle of the night with quilts and food and wine, just so that Duan Wenrui's people could take the opportunity to steal gunpowder, and his arrangement was also tacitly approved by Zhou Zhentai, and Old Man Zhou was close to midnight, and he also called Li Shenjiang Baihu and Xiao Zhifu and others to his residence, preparing to discuss the matter of accepting Yu Sanli's surrender in Qingjiang County the next day.
