Chapter 166: The Clan (4)

Jin Ming did his job safely, and on the second day, the military report of Qiongzhou was sent to Beijing by a fast horse. Of course, it is just a suppression of bandits, and it is impossible to attract onlookers from officials and saints like the great victory of Jiankang, but the two privy governors who received the military report and Chen Yizhong, the left minister in charge of military affairs, were smiling, if they hadn't seen the last page.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Cai reported two things, one was the cliff thief rebellion when he was sent to Beijing before, and the other was the pirate invasion that happened not long ago. After reading it, several people sighed with emotion, they didn't expect so many things to happen on a small island.

"The signature is correct, it seems that they picked a shortcut, and they have not stopped all the way, and it only took less than ten days." Wu Jian, who knew the Privy Council, looked at the fire paint and seal on the cover, and checked them one by one before speaking.

"There is not much exaggeration in the results of the battle, it should be credible, and there is no need to send personnel to verify it." Jia Yuqing, a member of the Privy Council who signed the book, clicked on the text and deliberately pinched out a few numbers with his fingers.

Chen Yizhong took it and glanced at it, it is true, the Pingya thieves only killed and injured hundreds, captured dozens, and broke the sea to have more, but there were only more than a thousand people. Judging from the usual false reports of the border generals, this number will be gone if it is reduced or reduced, but capturing the enemy chief alive is a real feat, and he doesn't understand Jiang Cai's intentions.

Qiongzhou is too far away, and the courtiers don't even want to be officials, let alone to verify the merits of the war, so it's fine, anyway, it's just a big victory, and when the leader of the thieves is brought back, it can be identified.

"What should I do?" Wu Jian handed over the last page, a third-grade official was martyred, or the head of the city department just appointed by the imperial court, and he has only been in office for more than a month, will there be another hidden secret? All of you here are old horses from the sea, so naturally you will think of this first.

"Let's wait until his coffin and retinue arrive in Beijing."

Chen Yizhong was a little embarrassed, the two didn't have much intersection, but how to say that they were also the same name, the love of incense still has to be talked about, this matter is too big. If there is a problem, it will involve a border general who holds military power, and he has to be cautious.

It stands to reason that the well water of the City Bo Division and the Zhaofu Division do not violate the river water, and there should be no conflict of interest, maybe this is really just an accident. However, before the results of the investigation, several people wisely remained silent, and like Chen Yizhong, first saw what his entourage was.

"Is Jiang Cai's own statement credible?"

"Then it depends on whether the person he sent is real."

The complexity of the matter is unexpected, the pirates did not come by themselves, but someone colluded and deliberately caused it, in order to sabotage the construction of the city. And Zeng Wei was unfortunate to be hit by an arrow in order to protect this qiē, and on the surface, there is indeed such a possibility.

Because according to his accusations, the person who instigated this qiē was the Quanzhou Pu clan, and there was an irreconcilable contradiction with the Qiongzhou City Bo Division. Thinking of the previous actions in the capital, Chen Yizhong was more inclined to choose to believe it, of course, it also depends on whether the witness is true.

But looking at it this way, how to deal with it has become a difficult problem, Pu is the head snake there, and the forces are intertwined, and a bad one will cause disaster. At present, the Qiongzhou Division has not yet been built, and it has lost its chief officer, and the future is uncertain. This year's annual income of the imperial court will be in vain.

It is even more impossible not to deal with it, a high-grade official was killed by someone in collusion with pirates, and it is impossible to let it go anyway, otherwise the face of the imperial court will not exist, this is a very thorny problem, and the three of them can't think of any safe way.

"Do you want to send a letter and ask the Wu Weijun to prepare first?" Jia Yuqing opened his mouth and mentioned a building.

"No."

Without waiting for Chen Yizhong to speak, Wu Jian first raised an objection, he knew that Dutong Xia Jing was the confidant of the former palace marshal Han Zhen, and rashly revealed the matter to him, who knows what he would think?

After being reminded by him, Chen Yizhong suddenly discovered that there was no army that could be trusted in the entire Quanzhou, and if the Pu family had a different intention, the imperial court would not be able to think of a way to deal with him for a while!

Just when the three of them looked at each other, a scribe from the cardinal mansion came forward to report that the long history of the Rongwang Mansion was ordered to come to pay a visit.

"King Rong? He's going to see what this does. ”

Wu Jian was a little surprised, who didn't know that this King Rong had always been peaceful, never befriended courtiers, and never acted recklessly, at most he was just accumulating money. What's the matter today, openly sent people to the cardinal palace to ask for a military report, and took it for granted.

"Give it to him."

Chen Yizhong said two words simply after hearing this, he vaguely knew King Rong's intentions, but now he couldn't say it, because it was related to the safety of a large number of clans.

"Dare to ask all the ministers, when will that witness arrive in Beijing?" Changshi quickly finished reading, and then arched his hand and asked

"There are still two or three days to go."

Of course, holding a prisoner is not as fast as riding alone, this speed is already super fast, and Chen Yi and others now only hope that the prisoner will not have any accidents in the middle of the way, so that this matter will become dead and unproven.

"Do you want to report this matter to the political affairs hall?" After the long history left, Wu Jian asked worriedly.

Chen Yizhong understood his worries, the matter involved a state, and if the spread was too wide, it would be leaked out. At that time, Pu is only afraid that if he doesn't turn back, things will be out of control.

But where did the secret come from in the court, it was like this in the forbidden middle school, not to mention here, he suddenly complained a little about this Jiang Cai, why didn't he send the prisoner to Beijing together? What should we do now? Even hesitating, who had always been decisive.

"Xingqian, I may have thought about this matter."

Back in the house, the first thing Liu Yu said to Yang Xingqian made him slightly stunned, the owner said it was clueless, as if he was taking a test, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on.

In the morning, when the military newspaper entered the city and sent it directly to the cardinal's mansion, he also got the news almost at the same time, because Liu Yu had sued him before and asked him to pay attention.

"Is the owner saying that there is a possibility that the grass will startle the snake?"

Yang Xingqian also thought of this possibility, as a giant in charge of maritime affairs, he had an inseparable connection with the Beijing Division before, how could it be that there were no people in this capital?

"yes."

He can't blame Liu Yu for realizing it later, he thought that if he sent the military newspaper one day earlier, the court would be able to recognize the thief's face one day earlier, so as to respond, and at the worst time, he could also remind Nanzong Zhengji of the matter first, so as to prevent the kind of tragedy in history.

But now it seems that it may backfire, and if they insist on waiting for the witnesses to arrive, it will be a waste of days, if the thieves react quickly. Maybe now that Feiqi has already left Beijing, he Liu Yu has no ability, and it is almost an impossible task to check suspicious people on every road out of Beijing.

"The owner, I think that even if something unexpected happens, it is not necessarily a bad thing." Yang Xing thought for a moment and replied.

Liu Yu looked at him in surprise, this sentence is not difficult to understand, Yang Xingqian's thinking angle is different, the life and death of those people are not in his heart, if the Pu family really dares to do that, it is the way to die, and the only end is to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

"I think that the owner's moves have been successful, if the Pu family doesn't want to be caught, sooner or later he will do something like that, and now we have to think about how to prevent him from escaping from the sea."

From a utilitarian point of view, Liu Yu admitted that Yang Xingqian was right, the Pu clan now has only one way to go, will they be trapped in Quanzhou City? It depends on the efficiency of the actions of the other side, how can we take the seaport by surprise? He needs the analysis of military experts.

"That's already the case, what can we do? The owner, if you ask Zhang Qingyun to go to Nansi now, will they listen? Maybe he will be sent to the Quanzhou Mansion! ”

Yang Xingqian then persuaded, how Liu Yu didn't know this truth, but he just couldn't swallow this breath, he knew the result, but he couldn't stop it, which made him a little unwilling.

"Spread all our manpower in Beijing, from here all the way to Quanzhou, and establish a communication line, this matter must be done immediately."

No matter what, he must first establish a quick communication, even if it is passed through layers and opens up the front line in Quanzhou, it is equivalent to opening up Qiongzhou, which will be of immeasurable help to the future war situation.

Of course, Yang Xingqian will not have any objections to this, he has long admired the magic of the microphone, and as soon as he heard the order, he went out in response, Liu Yu still has two hundred people in Beijing, and he has been receiving training, and the microphone is one of the compulsory subjects.

And in the Rongwang Mansion in the city, after listening to the report after Changshi's return, Zhao and Rui will also face a difficult choice, whether to wait until the day when the witnesses arrive in Beijing, or send a messenger immediately.

"The king, several people have similar opinions, and this matter is too involved, so it is not easy to draw conclusions."

"What about you?"

Zhao and Rui asked a seemingly superfluous sentence, Changshi understood his thoughts, thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"The old man is extremely rich, and now as a Zongzheng, he knows that his clan relatives are in trouble, but he still protects himself, isn't it even as good as a small head in that kid's mouth?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, Changshi seemed to know what he was about to say, the king's choice was not good or bad, but since he had decided to do so, he had nothing to persuade.

"You leave the house immediately, go to Zongzheng Temple to issue documents, and come back to stamp the old man's seal. No, bring the seal, and when it is done, send people out of the city, tell them, merge the South Division into the West Division, and tell them to withdraw to Fuzhou immediately. ”

"Things are too urgent, I'm afraid that some people won't leave right away if they see the paperwork."

"The old man has done his best, let's save one by one."

Zhao Yourui said with gloomy eyes, this is the only thing he can do, it's better than letting the family stew in a pot. Changshi looked at his not-so-tall figure, leaned over and gave a deep salute, then turned to leave. R1058
