Chapter 245: There is an old man in Anzhou in the east
Walking out of Tang Dai'er's small courtyard, Qin Fei's face gradually had a smug smile. Although the road pointed out by Dai'er is difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will be killed, but Qin Fei has full confidence to go to Jiangnan for so many times to create great benefits for himself.
In the past few days, in addition to being busy with the prince's reconciliation and understanding of the sisters, Qin Fei has one more thing that he has not been idle. At the beginning, Ren Pingsheng crisscrossed the four seas, which made all the generals of the East China Sea frightened, in order to prevent Ren Pingsheng from harassing his station. Almost all of these sailor generals adopted the same method, that is, to give gifts to Ren Pingsheng.
This list has come from Ren Pingsheng's hands to Qin Fei's hands, and the long list of names on it is dazzling. However, Qin Fei's favorite was to find the name of Anton Garrison Shao Jiaxuan on the top!
The morning sun is indeed pleasant, looking at the short figure under the sun, Qin Fei's steps seem to be much lighter. He was followed by Zhou Liyuan and other guards, and the target of a group of more than ten people was Shao Jiaxuan's mansion.
The name of the prosecutor's office is really not very good, especially after so many things have been tossed in the past two days, Shao Jiaxuan's doorman, when he saw a group of imposing black-clothed prosecutor's agents coming over, he subconsciously shuddered and closed the door.
Before the heavy door could close the latch, Qin Fei's big hand was already on the door panel, and he looked at the doorman with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to close the door, is Shao Shoubei at home?" ”
The doorman's lips were already trembling, and he was speechless. Qin Fei ignored him and walked straight towards the inner courtyard.
Hearing the noise in the front yard, Shao Jiaxuan hurriedly ran out, and when he saw Qin Fei head-on, he squeezed out a smile and shouted, "What kind of wind blew you here from Qin Zhendu?" ”
"Shao Shoubei, there are a few words, I don't want to say it in front of everyone." Qin Fei winked.
Shao Jiaxuan's heart suddenly struck, he was an old and cunning person, and immediately covered up the past without a trace: "Yes, Qin Zhendu is here, of course I want to try my family's new tea." ”
The guards and the Shao family's family members all stayed outside, and the two walked into Shao Jiaxuan's study one after the other. As soon as the door was closed, Qin Fei pulled down his face: "Shao Shoubei, after Ren Pingsheng surrendered, I found an account book, which clearly recorded the gifts you gave them in the past few years since you took office." Shao Shoubei, as an official of the imperial court, you should know what kind of crime it is to collude with bandits and rebels and give and accept privately! ”
Shao Jiaxuan suddenly sweated like rain, since Ren Pingsheng said that he wanted to surrender, he had been worried about this matter. Unexpectedly, after Qin Fei had a good fight with the prince, he still had spare time to take care of his own trivial matters. Besides, in the East China Sea, it was an unwritten custom for the garrisons or sailors to give gifts to Ren Pingsheng. Who wants to provoke pirates who can't win a fight, can't be destroyed? Who wants to go against the genius general Ren Pingsheng?
"Governor Qin, you must listen to my explanation......" Shao Jiaxuan wiped the sweat from his face.
"It doesn't matter if you listen or not." Qin Fei found a chair and sat down, comfortably cocked Erlang's legs, and looked at Shao Jiaxuan with a smile: "If you want to lie, don't insult my brain." Actually, from your standpoint, I can understand why you want to give Ren Pingsheng a gift. Garrison officers are not so easy to be. ”
"It's good that the town governor understands, those of us who are on the garrison, have few soldiers under our command, and we have to be distributed all over the province. Pirates come and go like the wind, and they don't greet them when they come, and if something happens, it's too late for us to send our troops over. Seeing the sails of pirates in the distance is a luxury. can be reported to the court, that is our crime. Alas, life is really sad......" Shao Jiaxuan said with a bitter face.
Qin Fei clicked on the handrail, and a crisp sound sounded in the room: "If we don't arrest a few officials in the Prosecutor's Office all year round, my life will be very sad." ”
Shao Jiaxuan no longer hesitated, took out the key on his waist, moved the bookshelf with his own hands, took out an iron box from the bracket behind the wall, and opened it nervously, with thick silver tickets and jewels inside......
"Governor, this is the little heart of the lower official......" Shao Jiaxuan was distressed, this was already all his savings. However, when death comes, where can you take care of money? As long as Qin Fei lets him go, the money will be scavenged back sooner or later. But if he was reluctant to pay for it, Qin Fei would arrest him, and his fate would be to be beheaded. The most painful thing in life is that when a person dies, the money has not been spent?
Qin Fei smiled, and did not take the money that was pushed in front of him, but said lightly: "Shao Shoubei, arrest or not arrest you, it's just a matter of my words." I have already said that, from your standpoint, I can understand your behavior. If you're willing to help me with something, it's much easier to say if there's your name on that ledger. ”
"Lord Governor, please say, as long as the lower officials can do it, even if they want me to go to the soup, they will not give up." Shao Jiaxuan's back was already wet with sweat, and even if Qin Fei asked him to kneel down and eat mud now, he would not hesitate to kneel down.
Qin Fei didn't speak immediately, but looked at Shao Jiaxuan for a long time, as if there was a flower on his face.
"Your Excellency, please speak!"
"Shao Shoubei, you are in charge of the entire defense of Anton, of course there are some things that you should say more appropriately. For example, since the prince of Yan came to Anton, the number of bandits in Andong has increased significantly. Some of these bandits were clearly well-trained and well-armed. They always seem to be able to get ahead of the government......"
Qin Fei's words made Shao Jiaxuan gradually understand. Qin Fei wanted to deal with Chu Yang, but as an official of the Prosecutor's Office, Qin Fei was really embarrassed to stand up and impeach Chu Yang directly. After all, the two of them had personally dealt with each other, and if the official document was sent to the imperial court, many officials would think that it was an old grudge, and the two teenagers were still immersed in their spirits. However, if the official in charge of the defense of a province hinted to the imperial court that Chu Yang might use his identity as the prefect of Anzhou to disguise himself as a robber for the Northern Xinjiang Army and enter the territory of Andong to plunder wealth, he would have to attract the attention of the government and the opposition.
It's just that the struggle between King Yan and Emperor Chu is a fight between the gods in the sky, and if he, a little mortal, really participates in it, can he get involved in this turmoil?
"Shao Shoubei, think clearly and give me an answer." Qin Fei said leisurely.
Shao Jiaxuan lowered his voice and asked, "Governor Qin, there are no outsiders here, I will ask at the risk of losing my head." He pointed to the heavens and then to the north: "Is he ready to do something to him?" ”
"That's not what you need to worry about." Qin Fei said lightly: "You just need to tell me, write, or not write." ”
"Write!" Shao Jiaxuan made up his mind, the big deal was to tear his face with Chu Yang, anyway, he was not a garrison in northern Xinjiang. If you offend King Yan, you won't die right away. If you offend Qin Fei, you will be dragged to the prison and squatted now.
"Clever!" Qin Fei pushed back the iron box that was sent over: "You can keep these things." ”
Looking at the back of Qin Fei, who got up and left, Shao Jiaxuan collapsed to the ground in despair, exhausted.
The street was still very noisy, but Qin Fei's thoughts were a little churning. In order to prepare for Jiangnan's trip, a test of King Yan's attitude is a must. This is also to test how much confidence the imperial court has in making a move immediately. Let Shao Jiaxuan impeach Chu Yang, the biggest advantage is that once everyone needs to make a compromise, the victim is just Shao Jiaxuan, and no one will be involved!
The results of the impeachment of Chu Yang are nothing more than two kinds. The first is that Qin Fei personally handled the crime and confirmed Chu Yang's criminal evidence, as the town governor of the Prosecutor's Office, it was too simple to forge some human and physical evidence. Moreover, when it comes to the competition at this level, the so-called evidence is nothing more than an ornament for the common people to see. After the imperial court obtained these evidences, it took action against Chu Yang, so that he had to flee back to northern Xinjiang. Subsequently, the imperial army's troops entered northern Xinjiang under the pretext of capturing fugitives and disarmed the king of Yan.
Of course, King Yan will not be caught, as soon as he resists, he will be completely defeated in principle. The so-called teachers are famous, and the common people will have their own opinions. Yan Wang, who dares to resist, naturally will not have any supporters! In this way, the officers and troops who occupy Tianshiren have a great chance of winning compared with the Northern Xinjiang Army, which only has a favorable geographical position.
The second situation is much simpler, if Emperor Chu doesn't want to do it against Chu Yang right away, the impeachment is dismissed, and Shao Jiaxuan can wash his ass and prepare for prison.
It's just that in Qin Fei's view, Emperor Chu didn't have the determination to take the northern frontier, which was a bad thing for his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
"I still have to think of a way, the forced court and King Yan have to do it!" The more Qin Fei thought about it, the more he had a headache, and when he saw a food stall on the side of the road, he simply sat down. When people eat, they can always relieve their mood, otherwise there will not be so many girls who are willing to turn their grief and anger into appetite.
The guards dispersed, they knew that they were a few streets away from Qin Fei, and if they really encountered a danger that Qin Fei couldn't solve by himself, even if they went together, they would just have more cannon fodder. followed Qin Fei to Shao Jiaxuan's house, which was nothing more than filling the scene and scaring people.
The people at the food stall saw a black-clothed town governor sitting over, and most of them buried their heads in hard work and didn't dare to say more.
A man dressed as a scholar, with a light beard and a few red pimples on his face, was dressed in a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and carrying a book basket on his back. When most people saw him, they thought he was a scholar who came to Anzhou to take the exam.
He put down the book basket, sat opposite Qin Fei without fear, asked for a few snacks, slowly raised his head, and smiled at Qin Fei.
At first glance, Qin Fei thought it was a scholar's polite smile, but when he looked at it, he almost screamed......
Wei Bingyin!
