A few days ago, he tested Qian Mutong and asked how much silver there was in the province. Qian Mutong seems to have known his plan for a long time, and a few months ago, he had distributed all the silver that should not be distributed to the prefectures and counties in Henan, which was less than 100,000 taels of silver in the province, which was just enough to give the officials two months' worth of silver.

What is this trying to do? This is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and he is going to be trapped in Henan!

The money left in the province must not be touched! Originally, the officials in Henan were about to hate him to death as a governor, and if they cut off their rations, they still didn't tear him up and eat him?

Besides, 100,000 taels is not enough to recruit soldiers and horses or build water canals. If it's not enough, why bother with the idea of 100,000 taels of silver!

It seems that the silver matter has to be found in another way! With silver, everything is easy to do, and without silver, let alone seize power, it is a matter of time before the roll covers are gone!

Fu Yuan was originally reluctant to come to Jiyuan to ask for rain. He was a reader of the sages and did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, nor did he believe that rain could be prayed. But although he has no power in his hands at present, he is still nominally the highest official in Henan Province, and the people are going crazy for the rain, he has no money to repair the water conservancy, and he can't follow the will of the people to ask for rain? If he really didn't come to ask for rain, it would not only be the officials who hated him, but also the people of the whole province! So why did he stay in Henan again?

What's more, this matter was decided more than half a year ago! At that time, Qian Mutong and the others let out the wind, saying that at the beginning of spring, they would ask the governor to lead the officials to come to the temple to ask for rain, so as to ensure that the wind and rain will be smooth next year. Well, if he doesn't come, it's better to say if the wind and rain are good next year. If the wind and rain are not smooth, then it is not all because he does not come to ask for rain?

Therefore, he was extremely reluctant to come to ask for rain, and he was thinking about where to get money and how to seize power all day long, so he didn't eat and sleep well for a long time, and his spirit was not much better, so he didn't want to go. However, if you don't want to go, you have to go.

Last night, I stayed at the governor's house in Huaiqing Mansion, and in order to ensure that I could rush to Jidu Temple early this morning to ask for rain, I had to set off at the third watch. He tossed and turned, dazed and not asleep, and his entourage had come to inform him that it was time to go!

Before Fu Yuan got into the carriage, his head was like paste. After getting into the car, the warm car fell asleep for a while. This sleep was probably the sweetest sleep he had in the past two or three months, and he also had a dream. In the dream, he was mired in the mire, and when he was about to die, a large white bird stretched out its claws and pulled him out of the mire.

Then, the great bird flew in front of him, leading him out of the mire. The road under your feet is no longer a muddy path, but a golden road. His feet became lighter and lighter, his body became more and more relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be about to soar, wanting to thank the big bird, but the big bird flew farther and farther, and slowly turned a little white.

The swaying cart suddenly stopped, and Fu Yuan also woke up from his dream. His spirit was shaken, and he wondered what the dream just now meant. Could it be that this time I came to Jiyuan to ask for rain, is it right? It indicates that he is about to succeed in seizing power, and from then on he will be able to let go and do what he wants?

Fu Yuan thought that he had arrived in Jiyuan, and he dressed up and prepared to get off. After waiting for a while, he didn't see the entourage open the door curtain, and wondered in his heart: "Could it be that he hasn't arrived in Jiyuan yet?" Then why did the carriage and horses stop. He lifted the curtain and looked out, it was about four watches when it was dark, and it was only a little more than an hour before they set off, and it was impossible to reach Jiyuan in such a short time.

The old servant who had followed him for decades saw that there was movement here, so he hurriedly dismounted and approached, saying, "Master! ”

Fu Yuan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The old servant replied, "I heard from the people in front of me that there was a group of people blocking the road a mile away, and I don't know what the way is. The commander has sent someone to investigate, and he will find out in a moment. ”

Fu Yuan looked forward with a side face, and saw that hundreds of soldiers were already holding guns and drawing bows, looking like the current appearance of the enemy. Du commanded Kou Zidun to ride a tall horse and stand behind the soldiers to supervise the battle.

Fu Yuan has always disliked this Kou Zidun. He is an official of the second rank, and Kou Zidun is also an official of the second grade, just because Kou Zidun is the second rank of a military general, which is one level lower than him, the second rank of a civil official. But Kou Zidun doesn't need to obey Qian Mutong's words! Qian Mutong disobeyed him, why did you follow Kou Zidun too? How do you say that it is also a second grade, but it is a second-grade official who is looking forward, as for it!

He sneered and said secretly, "What are you doing?" At most, it is a sedan car to complain, is it possible that it will be intercepted? If someone really dares to intercept our Dao, then this group of people is really blind, and they are scrambling to rush to the Hades Palace. ”

He turned his head and looked back again, but he couldn't see the end of the cart. The guards on both sides of the road had torches in their hands, and under the light of the fire, the high-ranking officials were all in the car, at most like him, and opened the curtain to watch. Many of the low-ranking officials had already gotten out of the carriage and stood at the front of the car looking back.

There was movement ahead, and a small leader was saying something in front of Kou Zidun. After hearing this, Kou Zidun suddenly slackened the shelf he was up, and turned his horse's head towards this side!

In front of Fu Yuan's cart, Kou Zidun let out a "call" and stopped the horse!

An attendant opened the curtain of the carriage, Fu Yuan got out of it, and asked as he got out of the car, "Master Kou, what's going on ahead?" ”

Kou Zidun dismounted and said, "If you go back to Master Fu, nothing big happened ahead!" ”

Fu Yuan's smiling face couldn't help but darken. What is the answer? As the governor, he is in charge of the affairs of the whole province, including the military, of course, and is regarded as the official of Kou Zidun. The upper official asked the lower official what he said, but the lower official dared to speak like this, clearly not taking him as a governor in his eyes!

He said secretly: "Do you think that your official is sealed by the Ministry of War, and I can't help you?" But then again, he really can't help Kou Zidun, at least not Kou Zidun now.

As a governor, he had the right to kill officials below the fifth rank during the war, such as Kou Zidun, who had no right to kill but could be dismissed on the spot, and then a letter of impeachment was sent to the court, so that Kou Zidun completely lost his office. But only if it's a time of war, and if these people don't listen to orders.

Now the White Lotus Sect is in turmoil, saying that it is too reluctant during the war, because the White Lotus Sect is only making trouble in a few counties, and it has not yet reached the scale of war. Moreover, people did not disobey orders, at least on the surface, they still listened to his orders, so that he couldn't hold the handle. Can you say that people don't listen to you when they talk like that? At most, I don't have that much respect for him!

Finally, and most importantly, the White Lotus Sect made a small-scale rebellion, and Henan Province did not send troops to completely clean it up. As soon as Kou Zidun was taken down, he had to go into battle in person, and he could clean up this rebellion without soldiers and money? Doesn't he have to carry the black cauldron alone?

Fu Yuanqi blew his lungs, and he could only endure it.

Qian Mutong and more than a dozen officials also arrived at this time, and there were officials of all sizes rushing here, and the big guys wanted to know what was going on in front of them?

Qian Mutong rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, and asked, "Commander Koudu, what happened in front of us that made all of us stop?" ”

Kou Zidun said: "I was about to give a message to the governor, since the envoy Qian Bu and other adults are also here, let's listen to it together, what should I do about it?" ”
