Chapter 528: Yu Zheng makes a move

"General, they're all recruited." At this time, Xue Feiyun walked over and handed Qin Forget a large stack of confessions.

Qin Forget took it and saw that everyone had been recruited. The matter was explained clearly, and there was no shortage of signatures and drawings on the confession.

"Lord Yu, you pride yourself on being upright, I don't know if you dare to take this case." Qin Forget raised the thick confession in his hand to Yu Zheng, and his face was full of provocation.

"Qin Forget, you don't have to provoke the old man. Dare to be a traitor, no matter who the old man is, the old man dares to pull him off the horse. Qin Forget snorted coldly, and snatched the confession from Qin Wang's hand.

"Damn it, damn it!" After reading a few confessions roughly, Yu Zheng's black face surged with enthusiasm, "Liu Congwu, if the old man doesn't cut off your dog's head, the old man won't be surnamed Yu." Teng Hao, Lord Teng, take a look, look at the Youzhou you manage, you just wait for Your Majesty to cure your crimes. ”

took down Yu Zheng's confession slapped on his face, and only looked at one of them, Teng Hao's face changed greatly, and he knelt in front of him with a "poof", "Lord Yu, these subordinates don't know, I beg your lord to let the subordinates go." ”

"Don't know?" Yu Zheng laughed angrily, "There have been many disappearances of girls in the entire Youzhou in the past year or so, what are you doing with Youzhou Mansion Yin?" Every day, I think about how to meet the source? ”

Hearing Yu Zheng's reprimand, Teng Hao was speechless, and couldn't say anything except keep kowtowing and asking for guilt.

"Okay, you'd better honestly assist the official to settle this matter, otherwise, the official promises to let your head fall tomorrow." Yu Zheng knocked Teng Haodao.

Teng Hao dared to say more, this matter was too big, and he knew that he couldn't turn a blind eye like before. In addition to helping Yu Zheng, it seems that there is really no choice, as for the revenge of the Li family or the Yan family in the future, we can only talk about it later.

Next, Yu Zheng and others recorded confessions for these girls. It turned out that these girls were all obtained by Liu Congwu through various means. Most of them were sold to brothels or sold to others as maids. Many of them have been plagued by this mountain temple. Especially Li Lei's people, they were ravaged in every way. They like to torture the girls they like in front of all the girls, even brutally torture and kill.

"It's shocking, it's shocking." It took a long time to record the confessions of all the girls, Yu Zheng sighed.

"Lord Yu, now I only know that they were captured by Liu Congwu, and we don't know any of the other people behind the scenes. The last general doesn't think that one Liu Congwu can do this, this is a complete sales chain, and the last general asks the adult to dig to the end. Qin Forget said solemnly.

"Don't worry, this official knows how to do it." Yu Zheng nodded, "Lord Teng, let's enter the palace with this official and General Qin, this matter must be reported to Your Majesty." ”

"You are smart, you actually know how to bypass Teng Hao's old oilman and find Yu Zheng directly." Yu Zheng and Teng Hao were sent away by Cao Ziwen, and he looked at it and scolded Qin Forget with a smile.

"The last general can't help it, the last general has just arrived, I can't figure out how deep the water is in this Youzhou, this kind of thing must be found by someone you can trust." Qin Wanyan said with a smile.

"This Youzhou City has long been in a miasma, and sooner or later I will have to sweep away these ghosts." Cao Ziwen said angrily, "You just believe that old stubborn Yu Zheng like that? ”

"Boss Yu

This person is a little stubborn, and he doesn't know how to do things. But he is indeed an upright man, and he is also loyal to His Majesty. Your Majesty, we have to deal with the family, and upright centrists like Lord Yu must also be good at wooing, and if they are used well, they are also a sharp weapon. Qin Forget said cryptically.

"That's right. Why don't I know that Yu Zheng and these people are dedicated to the country? It's just that I don't have any foundation in my hands, and there are many obstacles to reusing them. Well, now that I have tens of thousands of cavalry in my hands, and even more so with your great help, I'll see who dares to stop me! Cao Ziwen said arrogantly, "But it's too early for you to do it to the army now." ”

"There's no way, if you don't take the opportunity to take Liu Congwu down, the last general will be unlucky." Qin Forget smiled bitterly and honestly said the contradiction between him and Liu Congwu.

"Yo, it turns out that your kid still declares a personal vendetta." Seeing that Qin Forget honestly said his little thoughts, Cao Ziwen was much more relieved of him, "But you don't have to hope too much in this matter, the best result is that the Yan family and that Liu Congwu come out to take the blame, and they can't touch the Li family in the slightest." Speaking of these, Cao Ziwen was also a little helpless.

"At least Li Xianzhi can be punished for the crime of laxity under the royal authority." Qin Forget reminded.

"Then do you think if I remove Li Xianzhi, who is more suitable to replace him?" Cao Ziwen also wanted to ban all the Li family's forces in the Zhenbei Army in one fell swoop through this incident, but he really didn't have many cronies, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

Qin Forget knew Cao Ziwen's difficulties, it was impossible to take Li Xianzhi out of one fell swoop this time, so he didn't give the so-called candidate, "Why doesn't Your Majesty use the children of the Han Sect in the army?" In fact, we Dayan have no shortage of talented and capable talents, but when they don't come out, His Majesty can't see them. As far as I know, Yu Zhen, the commander of the fifth battalion of the First Army of the Zhenbei Army, and Gu Zhixin, the commander of the seventh battalion, are very capable. And they are all from poor families, and they don't have such and such problems as those children of the family. ”

"Yu Zhen, Gu Zhixin?" Cao Ziwen thought for a while, "I remember that these two people are both capable. It's just that I have been suppressed by the children of the family because I have no background, okay, I remember, when the first army in Zhenbei is cleaned up, I will promote them. ”

"The last general is here to thank the Lord for their favor." Hearing that Cao Ziwen was going to promote his two righteous brothers, Qin Forget was very happy.

"What are you going to do after this?" Cao Ziwen asked.

"Your Majesty, the last general wants to be the commander of the First Army in the north of the town." Qin Forget hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Mao recommended himself.

"You want to be the commander of the First Army in Zhenbei? Qin Wang, you are so ambitious. Cao Ziwen looked at Qin Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, with a playful expression.

"Your Majesty, the last general has absolutely no selfish intentions." Qin Forget hurriedly said, "Liu Congwu must be behind Li Cunzhi's instructions, but this matter will not affect this person. If we can't take this opportunity to subdue the large number of troops of the Zhenbei Army, we won't be able to fight against Li Cunzhi, it's a pity. ”

"Alright, get up." Cao Ziwen said lightly, "I know what you think, otherwise you think you are still alive?" Okay, this matter will be done as you say, after Liu Congwu is imprisoned, his first army leader will be yours. Tell me what you're going to do. ”

"Sweep away all the moths in the first army, and use a large number of poor people, so that you can

Guarantee the loyalty of the First Army to His Majesty. Considering that we have too few trustworthy officers, I intend to merge the ten battalions of the First Army into five. Respectively, due to Zhen, Gu Zhixin, Chen Chumo, the last general himself, and Xue Feiyun under the last general, each led a battalion. Qin Forget said what he thought.

"Chen Chumo? The Chen family? Hearing that there was a surname Chen among the officers Qin Wang, Cao Ziwen frowned. He hated all the families to the core, and he wanted to kill them all.

"The Chen family is only a medium-sized family, and the reputation is also very good. The last general thought that in order to deal with the big lords of the family like Li Cheng'an and Wenman, he had to win over these small and medium-sized families who were willing to be loyal to His Majesty, and if he attacked them indiscriminately, he would only ask for trouble. Qin Wang explained, "Although the last general has been fighting against the family, I have to admit that their strength is too great, and if one is not good, they will be counterattacked." ”

"Okay, it's just a Chen family, whatever you want." After a slight sigh, Cao Ziwen accepted Qin Wang's suggestion, "Qin Wang, I will give you the power, I hope you will not let me down." ”

"Liver and brain, never give up!" Qin Forget didn't have any extra words, and his face was loyal.

"Good." After staring at Qin Wang's eyes carefully for a long time, Cao Ziwen didn't see the slightest evil thought except for sincerity, and then nodded with satisfaction, "I have already planned to implement a graded tax on commerce, but I can't implement it. The head of the household is full of letters, and he has always been to me and the snake, and the people I sent to him can't even enter the household department. ”

"That's what the Maison is capable of." Hearing that the dignified household department was splashed with water run by those Wenman and those families, Qin Forget also let out a long sigh, "They are simply hands and eyes, and their tentacles have stretched to all corners of the whole Dayan, it is really difficult to want them." ”

"And what do you think I'm going to do?" Cao Ziwen asked subconsciously. Unconsciously, Qin Forget actually became Cao Ziwen's think tank.

"The last general thinks that there are only two points, the first is to strengthen his own strength, and the most important thing is to master the army. A large part of the reason why those families can be so powerful is that they have almost the entire army in their hands. When we have a large and powerful army, they will have to have some scruples. Another aspect is to use a large number of talents loyal to His Majesty, only in this way can we reach into the various departments of the court. Qin Forget said.

"I have a plan for the army, what are your plans to use talents?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the last general will find that there are not no people who can do things in the various yamen, including the army. The Dayan Imperial Court can operate normally, and there are not only many capable people. Most of these people are low-born low-level officials and petty officials, they are all under the hands of those children of wealthy families, they usually do things, and they are also the ones who come out of the top tank when something happens. Why didn't the last one win them all over, it was also a big force. Qin Forget thought about it and said.

"I also know this, but the status of these people is really low, can they be of great use?" Cao Ziwen asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not in a hurry. They may not be of much use for a while, but they are the best channel for us to penetrate into various sectors. What's more important is that these people have been dealing with government affairs for a long time, and they have a clear understanding of what is wrong with the various yamen, and if necessary, they can play a key role in bringing down various families. The end will call this a bottom-up reform. Qin Forget smiled slightly.
