Chapter 408: Betrayal (1)

"Are you sure Guo Zhiyuan is really gone?! You watched him get off the boat? ......" Qin Shou tightly grasped the arms of the henchmen he had sent to spy on Guo Zhiyuan, and confirmed repeatedly.

The arm of the henchman's subordinate was pinched by Qin Shou, but he didn't dare to cry out for pain, so he forcibly reported: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates watched Guo Zhiyuan's ship in Dongfan with their own eyes, followed him all the way to Fuzhou Port, and watched him get off the ship in Fuzhou Port, and the governor personally answered it in Fuzhou Port, it is impossible for anything to go wrong!" ……”

Qin Shou breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "Did he really leave like this?" Just walked away so easily? Is he really willing to leave Dongfan to me like this? ......" and then suddenly burst into laughter: "He's finally gone!" Dongfan will be my world from now on! Ha ha! ……”

The henchman's subordinates looked at Qin Shou dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and hurriedly flattered: "Congratulations, my lord, as soon as Guo Zhiyuan leaves, his gang of subordinates will have no backbone, and Dongfan will become the adult's bag!" ……”

Qin Shou finally had a little sense, shook his head and said: "It's not so easy, Guo Zhiyuan is used to demagoguery, just look at those Dongfan people, but I don't believe that he can really run Dongfan into a monolith, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, I don't believe that there is constant loyalty in this world!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's sudden departure caught his team members off guard, and it was difficult to adapt for a while, but fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan's division of responsibilities was very clear before the team backbone, and everyone performed their own responsibilities, so it would not be chaotic in a short time, but Guo Zhiyuan's sudden departure still aroused a series of "chemical reactions" in everyone's hearts.

Some people feel that Guo Zhiyuan is only leaving temporarily and will definitely come back, and they must help Guo Zhiyuan defend Dongfan before he returns, and he can't let Qin Shou and his gang mess around and ruin the good situation in Dongfan.

Some people feel that this time the court is serious, since Guo Zhiyuan does not dare to erect a rebel flag, then this trip to the capital must be more auspicious, he has to make some plans for himself, and he can't be finished with Guo Zhiyuan.

Liu Ruosi is the representative of the latter kind of person who thinks, he was originally a strong-willed person, so he joined Zhao Bingjian's rebels, and was persuaded by Guo Zhiyuan to defect, of course, if Guo Zhiyuan was still in Dongfan, he would definitely not have any ideas, but now that Guo Zhiyuan has left, his careful thinking has been somewhat active, and he began to secretly contact the people sent by Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was overjoyed to learn that Liu Ruosi was willing to contact the people he sent, Liu Ruosi was the garrison of Dongfan, and he was in charge of nearly 5,000 elite soldiers, if Liu Ruosi could be brought over, then Qin Shou's grasp of Dongfan would be greatly increased, so Qin Shou attached great importance to it and went to meet Liu Ruosi in person.

As soon as he saw Liu Ruosi, Qin Shou lowered his posture and took the initiative to greet him: "Those who know the times are Junjie, General Liu is well aware of righteousness, and he is a true hero, then Guo Zhiyuan has no knowledge of people, and he doesn't need to let a general like General Liu take charge of the army, it is really a wronged general!" ……”

Liu Ruosi didn't eat his set, and said coldly: "Lord Qin, you don't have to wear a high hat for Liu, I have a few catties and a few taels I know, for Lord Guo, Liu only has the word respect, if he is still in Dongfan, I Liu Ruosi will never have two hearts, but unfortunately the court has no knowledge, so I actually asked you to replace him...... I'm a rough person, not as many twists and turns as you civil officials, let's be practical, if you want Liu to take refuge in you, what benefits can the court give Liu? ! ……”

Qin Shou was blushing by Liu Ruosi's words, and in order to win over Liu Ruosi, he had to suppress his anger, and smiled embarrassedly: "General Liu is really refreshing!" Qin likes to deal with cheerful people like General Liu, so Qin won't beat around the corner, as long as General Liu can help me control Dongfan, Qin will ensure that you will be promoted to the third level! How is it? ……”

Liu Ruosi glanced at Qin Shou hesitantly, he couldn't believe Qin Shou a little, Qin Shou himself was just a five-rank prefect, what ability did he have to ensure that he was promoted to the third level? However, I heard that Qin Shou is Gu Xiancheng's disciple, and the Donglin Party is now gaining momentum in the court, not to mention the promotion of the third level of the official, it should still be possible to ensure that he is a general soldier, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, but I still have one condition, I still need 10,000 taels of silver, and now in this world, only real money can be relied on!" ……”

I have to say that Liu Ruosi's abacus is still very fine, he wants to be in case Qin Shou's words don't count, or Guo Zhiyuan comes back to liquidate Dongshan, he has the silver in hand, and he can escape from Dongfan with his subordinates at worst, and he can still live happily.

Qin Shou was dumbfounded when he heard this, it was impossible for the imperial court to reward Liu Ruosi with 10,000 taels of silver, so he could only find a way by himself, but the Donglin party has always regarded himself as honest, except for the poor money given by the imperial court, he didn't dare to make money wantonly, let alone 10,000 taels, he couldn't take 1,000 taels. Dongfan is rich, but Guo Zhiyuan has been prepared for a long time, and he transferred all the money in the treasury before he came, he is now an empty prefect, where to get 10,000 taels of silver?

However, Qin Shou must not hesitate at this time, so he can only promise hard: "Deal!" General Liu rest assured, this official will do what he says, and will send the silver ticket to General Liu's mansion as soon as possible! ……”

Liu Ruosi could only choose to believe in Qin Shou, nodded and said: "Liu believes that Lord Qin will keep his word, but Liu also has to remind Lord Qin that it is impossible for Lord Qin to completely control Dongfan by relying on Liu alone, Lord Guo has a very high prestige in Dongfan, especially since the New Army, he is loyal to him, and it is best not to act rashly if he is not fully sure, before Lord Qin decides to do it, we can only contact him secretly, Liu Mou doesn't want to make a mistake, he will be killed by his subordinates loyal to Lord Guo first!" ……”

This is exactly what Qin Shou is worried about, he has already learned Guo Zhiyuan's unparalleled influence in Dongfan, not to mention those Guo Zhiyuan's team backbones, that is, the low-level scribes and officials in the prefect's yamen are extremely repulsive to them, either passive and slacking off, or simply not moving, and even going out will be angrily looked at by the people of Dongfan, and some bold people even spit directly on them, making him and his people like rats crossing the street.

However, in front of Liu Ruosi, of course Qin Shou would not reveal his worries, and pretended to be profound: "General Liu is thoughtful, but General Liu can rest assured, the mansion has its own arrangements, if you don't move, it will be a success, you must know that Dongfan is not the only one who knows how to understand current affairs!" ……”
