The relationship between Qin Man and Liu Kan, apart from Qin Qing, there are not many people in the Qin family who are clear.

Even the Qin Tong brothers, they only know a rough idea. They may not even be able to call Liu Kan's name, only know that this person is the Surabaya, the military attache of the imperial court. Surabaya...... It is also an official position that has been established for less than two years. Regarding the rights and responsibilities of this official position, the Qin Tong brothers are also unclear. Anyway, in their eyes, Liu Kan is just an insignificant little person.

But who would have thought that this little man would dare to use troops in Bashu?

Kuaicher's words, false and real, made everyone feel an inexplicable fear.

Some wise people immediately realized that Bashu would not go down in peace. When Qin Qing died, Bashu could no longer look like before. Bashu is the Bashu of Lao Qin, not the Bashu of the Ba people...... If you want to survive, you have to figure this out.

Jiangyang has returned to its former calm.

It's as if nothing happened.

However, the Ba people living around Jiangyang knew very well that more than ten days ago, Jiangyang County dispatched soldiers and horses, and within two days, they washed eight Dazhai and slaughtered more than 6,000 people. Bahu, the big leader of the people of Shallow Hill and Kuanguba, was captured by the magistrate of Jiangyang County and quickly beheaded him.

The bloody human head hung on the gate of Jiangyang, which also seemed to tell all the Ba people on the land of Bashu. The days when the Qin family was in charge of Bashu are gone forever. At the same time, Qin Man also officially announced that she would break away from the Qin family.

Restore the name of her grandmother Qin Qing back then, with Ba as her surname, and change her name to Ba Qing.

After the name change, Baman, as the representative of the Duling Commercial Bank, joined forces with the indigenous Ba people of the Eighty-nine Villages of Jiangyang Sanbu to form a huge caravan. In the past, Bashu specialties gathered in the deep mountains and old forests. Through this organization called the Ba people caravan, a large number of goods were transferred from the river to the Central Plains, and at the same time, the goods from the Central Plains were transported into Bashu. All of a sudden, the momentum became very loud.

There are old Diba. From Baman's seemingly nonsensical move. I saw some clues.

The Diba family back then. It's just a pure businessman. If it weren't for the later emergence of a Ba Qing (that is, Qin Qing). It is impossible for the Ba family to become the controller of Bashu. Now. Barman is just going to return to his original trajectory...... In fact. That's good! No matter how powerful the Qin family is. That's the old Qin family; And now Baman. But it is Baman! This made many Baman people suddenly have an inexplicable affection for Baman.

As for the Jiangzhou land Qin Mandarin. But I felt an inexplicable crisis.

In mid-January. Bajun County guards the edict and turns to Xianyang. Almost on the same day. The new county keeper has a holy decree. Arrived in Jiangzhou.

Follow. The new county guard transferred a series of edicts. Seven counties of Ba County. In addition to Jiangyang, the remaining six county seats. Up to the county magistrate. Down to the chiefs. It is replaced. The Qin family has worked hard to manage the officialdom for more than ten years. Died overnight.

Even Qin Meng is no exception!

According to Xianyang's edict, the first emperor gave Qin Meng two paths: enter the Lantian camp. Or disarm and return to the field and become a civilian.

Of course, the First Emperor was not without compensation.

The edict is very clear: if Qin Meng is a commoner, he can enjoy the treatment of a public doctor.

At the same time, the first seven days of Qin Qingdi have also passed. The coffin was ceremoniously sent back to Ba County, but who would take over. But it is not explained.

Qin Meng chose to resign from his post and return to his home in Jiangzhou to assist his brother Qin Tong.

In just 20 days, Xianyang replaced all the officials in the two counties of Bashu and a total of 13 counties with lightning speed, showing the determination of the first emperor to take back control of Bashu. Qin Tong is not a fool, at this point, how can he not see the clues?

Qin Man. It has been changed back to the ancestral surname. Separated from the Qin family, it is a self-contained system.

But Qin Tong can't...... Even he wanted to change back to his ancestral surname. How could the patriarchs of the clan agree? I think that at the beginning, in order to ascend to the position of the head of the family, he made countless promises to the patriarchs. Now that the form has changed dramatically, the promises made in the past can no longer be fulfilled, and he will face the interrogation of the clan elders.

However, presumably Qin Man should be called Baman now, and Qin Ming undoubtedly still has a huge advantage.

Qin Qing left behind a huge legacy, as well as a huge influence among the Ba people. And Baman is now only confined to Jiangyang, and its sphere of influence is far less than that of Qin Tong. The only place where Baman has an advantage is that she has the support of the Jiangyang government behind her. And although Qin Tong has a huge property, in the official mansion, he can no longer be the same as before...... At the same time, the dissatisfaction of the clan elders also left Qin Zhi with no time to deal with Jiangyang's newly formed and embryonic Diba caravan.

"Mr. Tang is really far-sighted, and every step of the imperial court is expected by Mr."

Baman said with emotion: "If it weren't for Mr. Careful planning this time, Man would never have been able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangyang, and neither would the true gods!" ”

Liu Kan was covered in a large robe, leaning next to the desk, smiling.

Judging by his strength, he patted Tang Li on the shoulder, "Old Tang, I have been traveling for a few years, and this mind is more meticulous than when I was in Pei County!"

How can a trip make such a big difference? If that's the case, I'll also go on a trip tomorrow and see it for a long time. ”

Tang Li's face flushed, "It's not all my credit, if it weren't for Lao Kuai's assistance, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”

Kui Che twisted his black beard and smiled but did not answer.

"Don't be happy with Man'er yet!" After Liu Kan was silent for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "Now we only have a foothold, but it is still too early to say that we can sit back and relax. Qin Tong just can't draw his hand against us now...... Qing Lao created such a big foundation during his lifetime, and it was all in the hands of Qin Tong. Once he stabilizes, he will definitely start fighting back against us.

Whether it is the Duling Commercial Bank or the Ba Ren merchants, they are all very weak and not enough to face Qin Tong's counterattack.

Moreover, although the Ba people in Jiangyang have temporarily stabilized, only the Ba people who are the Ba people who are leading along the river are really attached to us.

If you want to really gain a firm foothold, the key lies in Xianyang's attitude......

The coffin of the old man has now entered Shu. Who will it be handed over? This matter is crucial. Whoever can get the coffin of the old man is equivalent to being recognized by the imperial court. It's a pity that this matter is above. None of us can do anything. I wonder how Your Majesty will decide? ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy.

Yes, Xianyang didn't express his position for a day, and Jiangyang couldn't settle down for a day.

This feeling is like being stuffed in a pot, and it is really uncomfortable!

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Cao rushed into the house without injury. "Ah Kan, there is a person outside who says that he is your old friend, and he has something very important to discuss with you."

Old friend?

Old man again?

Liu Kan raised his head in astonishment.

This is the first time I have come to this Bashu land. Everyone I know is here, and where did an old man pop up? "Did he give his name?"

Cao Wuxian shook his head, "I asked, but he refused to say...... Hmm, it was Lao Qin's accent to speak. I don't know exactly what it is, though. ”

Old Qin accent?

Liu Kan frowned, glanced at Tang Li and Kui Che, but saw the two of them quickly glance at each other. Nod gently at him.

Ha, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

"Please!"

Liu Kan hurriedly got up, and then said to Baman and the others: "You guys should avoid it first...... It was enough for his brother to come with me to meet him. ”

If the person who came was an envoy of the imperial court, then as the magistrate of Jiangyang County, he naturally needed to come forward.

The two of them walked out of the room. Go straight to the palace hall.

And when he was far away, he saw a young man standing in the court. When Liu Kan saw this person, he couldn't help but be taken aback. hurriedly walked two steps quickly, and shouted at the door of the hall: "Brother Li, why are you here?" ”

This young man is the Sima of Liu Kan when he was in Northern Xinjiang, the grandson of the old Qin general Li Xin, Li Cheng!

Li Cheng is now working under the crown prince Yingfu Su. Since they separated from Liu Kan in northern Xinjiang, the two also met once at the beginning of last year. At that time, Li Cheng was to send a horse to Liu Kan. But I didn't want to witness Cheng Miao's clear Cheng Gong paper. Soon afterward, he left the warehouse. A year has passed. Liu Kan never expected that he would see Li Cheng again in Shushui, Bashan. "How. Can't I come? ”

Li Cheng smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and hugged Liu Kan fiercely, "You old man, I haven't seen you for a year, you seem to be strong again!" ”

Judge Shi Qi naturally saw the clue, took a step back at the moment, and stood at the door.

After greeting Li Cheng, Liu Kan introduced Li Cheng's identity to the judge. After hearing that Li Cheng was a famous general Li Xin, he couldn't help but be in awe. Although Li Xin failed in the battle of Chu, he could not hide the essence of his famous general. As the saying goes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers...... There is no such thing as a victorious general in this world. Besides, the Li family in Longxi is a serious old Qin family.

After the three of them saw the salute, Liu Kan invited Li Cheng to take a seat.

Although Li Cheng's official position is not as big as his, Liu Kan knows that Li Cheng's sudden appearance in Jiangyang must be for another reason.

The first emperor set up Wuyuan County in Henan, and now it is the time when everything is in ruins. If there is no special reason, how can you come to Jiangyang? As for the reason, Liu Kan and Jian Shiqi have already guessed a rough idea. Just wait for confirmation from Li Cheng's mouth.

"Ah Kan, the eldest prince is not very tall

As soon as Li Cheng spoke, Liu Kan was startled.

The eldest prince naturally refers to Yingfusu. Why is he upset? And Ying Fusu is unhappy, what does it have to do with himself?

Li Cheng said: "The eldest prince asked you to garrison Sihong, but not long after you took office, you came to Jiangyang. And it takes more than 100 days to leave, which is really unforgivable. Before I entered Shu this time, the eldest prince specially explained, let me tell you...... You have to turn back to the warehouse immediately. ”

"Huh?"

"In the matter of Bashu, the court has come forward, and you must not interfere with it anymore.

Originally, Your Majesty was very angry and was ready to arrest you to Xianyang. Later, it was the eldest prince who came forward to intercede, and His Majesty changed his mind. However, His Majesty has also given you a task...... The specific content will be told in detail by the county keeper of Sanchuan County.

You must set out with me within three days, without delay. ”

Liu Kan was stunned!

How could it be so decent, the First Emperor suddenly came with such an edict?

Task?

What kind of task will it be for the First Emperor to personally intervene? However, Liu Kan knew very well that it must be extraordinary to let the First Emperor personally explain the task. But how could such a task fall on his head? Could it be that there is something else in this?

For a while, Liu Kan fell into deep thought......
