As soon as he saw the man's face, the bus dealer almost sat on the ground in fright, and said without turning his tongue: "Four blades ......"

Shi Dang hooked his hand at him expressionlessly, and the bus merchant book followed him in full view of everyone, and a few relatives wanted to follow, but he stopped him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the door squeak shut again, the long-term followers, masters, and group exercises outside the door looked at each other and whispered: "What's wrong?" Are you scared? "I heard that it's called the Big Four, where are there such Big Four?"

Just when the people inside were talking, their prefect also followed Shi Kang into the courtyard.

"Lord Shi...... Where are you taking me? The bus merchant asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the prince is also here?" ”

Shi Kang had no comment on his questions, and took him to the outside of the east wing, and ordered in a deep voice: "Wait here first." After saying that, he knocked lightly on the door and went in, and after a while he opened the door and said, "Come in." ”

The heart of the bus merchant book, as if hanging fifteen buckets of water, was still swaying badly, and he hurriedly followed the cat's waist in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the prince sitting on the top with a dark face, looking at himself fixedly.

He hurriedly pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar Qin Lei knelt down, and after two buckles and six bows, he said with a little trepidation: "Lord Sheng'an......

"Restless." I only heard Qin Lei say coldly: "With a good subordinate like you, it is difficult for the Lone King to be safe." ”

The bus merchant hurriedly pouted his ass high, kowtowed like garlic and said: "Despicable and fearful, despicable and guilty...... He had imagined countless times the scene when he reunited with the prince who gave him a second life, but he never thought that it would be such an embarrassment.

In his mind, he should have proudly puffed up his chest, kowtowed to the prince three times, and then said loudly: "Your Highness, Weichen is fortunate to live up to his mission. Yes, he did, and he worked tirelessly for that purpose...... But it turned out to be this scene.

"Are you guilty?" Qin Lei smiled and said, "What are your crimes?" As he spoke, he stood up and paced with his hands in his hands: "You are the leader of the twenty-eight provinces of the two provinces, the first capable official in the south, what can you do?" ......"There are a total of twenty-eight prefectures in Jiangbei and Shannan provinces, but seven of them have almost been razed to the ground by the Maitreya Sect, and now they are aiming for reconstruction, so they are taken out for a separate assessment.

The more he said it was so painless, the more the bus merchant shuddered, and after a while, he was scared into a cold sweat, and said with difficulty: "Poor Weichen is stupid, he actually makes a mistake and doesn't know it, beg the prince to needle!" ”

Qin Lei was suddenly furious, and the anger that had been suppressed suddenly burst out, and he flew up and kicked on the head of the bus merchant's shoulder, kicking him diagonally and flying out.

fell to the ground and turned around a few times, and before the bus merchant could slow down, he heard the prince roar in a low voice: "You just pretend to be you!" Lone is really blind, why did you believe you bastard? As he spoke, he poured over two chairs, a table, and a few white porcelain tea sets, but fortunately there were no good things in the small inn.

The bus merchant endured the pain, knelt down again and said loudly: "I beg the prince to advise, what is the immorality of the humble position, which actually provokes you to be angry?" As he spoke, he kowtowed, only to hear a 'bang', and his head and the floor tiles really collided together, and his forehead was bruised, and blood flowed out.

Qin Lei squinted slightly, snorted coldly, turned back to the chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the Lone King will tell you, and it will be like making you a fool." As he spoke, he briefly recounted the events of last night, and said angrily: "Please tell me about the first minister, what does this mean?" ”

The bus dealer book perfectly explains what it means to be stupid. I saw him staring at the corner of the table in the prince's hand with his eyes, his nostrils were wide open, and his mouth was wide open, and even people could see his little tongue, looking more surprised and surprised.

Qin Lei was unmoved, just looked at the bus merchant with an expressionless face. Today, Qin Lei is no longer the stupid boy who was so easy to coax back then. He believes that even in the face of exaggerated performances, he can make correct judgments.

But this time, he did wish for the bus dealership. After a long time, the bus merchant came back to his senses, kowtowed to Qin Lei respectfully, and then straightened up and said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, please allow the guilty minister to defend himself, and then listen to the fate and no complaints." ”

Qin Lei's eyelids drooped, and he nodded imperceptibly, which was considered to be an agreement. In fact, he shouldn't have been so angry, but judging from the reports he usually received, this bus dealer book can definitely be called a book with outstanding political achievements and an excellent reputation, plus along the way, what Qin Lei saw and heard was all Yimei's words to this prefect. So much so that Qin Lei had already written in the car 'Commendation and Decree Asking the Provincial and County Yamen to Study Xiangyang Mansion and Xiangyang Prefect'...... However, as soon as I arrived at the ground, I encountered such a scene, if I was quick at that time, and issued the order to the prefectures, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world?

The more Qin Lei thought about it, the more angry he became, so he stepped in and gave the bus dealer a book. Fortunately, he came to his senses in time, so he didn't become a big man who couldn't take care of himself.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down some of his excitement, and listened to the bus dealer and said in a deep voice: "Since his arrival, Weichen has never forgotten the grace of the prince's acquaintance and support, and he can't wait to work hard for Xiangyang Mansion and overcome obstacles. Miraculously, he didn't stutter.

Qin Lei's face softened slightly, but his voice was still cold: "Meritorious work is merit, transgression is transgression, the Lone King will not ignore your achievements," paused, and said: "But I will not condone your mistakes because of this." ”

The bus merchant kowtowed again: "Your Royal Highness is fair and strict, Weichen should not be clever and sophistry for himself, but I am afraid that the prince will see some things in the fog and cannot cure them radically, so that in the future, he will cause endless harm, and he will defend himself with shame." As he spoke, he straightened up, looked at Qin Lei calmly with his eyes, and said loudly: "The minister thinks that the minister has connived, but there is a reason for it, and it is a last resort." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lei leaned forward slightly, rested his right hand on his thigh, and said in a deep voice: "So you knew it in advance?" ”

The bus merchant nodded without hesitation and said: "The criminal minister does know that most of the regimental training in Xiangyang Mansion came from the original Xiangyang Guards, without the support of the imperial court, and only relied on a little money from the local and rich gentry to survive. His voice gradually lowered, "And they are particularly disgusted with the revival of the Yamen...... I always feel that this yamen made them lose their jobs......"

"Fart, their rice bowl was smashed by the Lone King," Qin Lei sneered: "Being able to watch them so insatiable shows that you have long been surprised," he slapped the table as he spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Since the group training is so dirty, why do you still condone it so far?" ”

The bus merchant smiled bitterly and said: "Back to His Highness, Weichen's subordinates are one hundred and tenth officials, but there are nearly a thousand of them, and they are all outlaws such as ruffians, so they don't dare to act rashly." ”

"That's not a reason, you can completely fold Lonely, isn't the Lone King still right to the eighteen hundred ruffians?" Qin Lei's face was gloomy, and he was not very satisfied with the answer of the bus dealer's book.

"Weichen thinks that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and if the whole spring is used to fight the underworld and eliminate evil, the loss to Jiangbei will be too great." The bus merchant saw sweat on his forehead, and said softly: "And these group exercises are a disease of mustard after all, and they are thinking of criminals...... Let them come here for a while, and then wait for the slack season to clean up. ”

"Appeasement!" Qin Lei spit out four words heavily: "The original intention of the Lone King was to recruit regimental training from the strong and pure people and take turns to serve, why did he make it like today?" ”

The sweat on the bus merchant's forehead became denser and denser, and he swallowed and foamed: "Because I can't recruit strong men......"

"Why can't you recruit them?" Qin Lei asked lightly.

"Xiangyang Mansion suffered a disaster last year, the population was almost halved, and it has not recovered to the original sixty percent until now, there are few people in the land, and no big households are willing to release people." At this time, ninety percent of the peasants depended on the landlords and squires to live, and the remaining ten percent were naturally those rich peasants, let alone come out to do any kind of training. It was recruited back and forth, and in the end, it was summoned to the head of the guards who were disbanded by Qin Lei.

Listening to his explanation, it was reasonable, Qin Lei closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, before he said calmly: "You push two, five or six, and deduct all the basins on the group training." Don't you really have a problem? As he spoke, he threw down a book from the table and said, "Why is the revival yamen not allowed to check the accounts of the yamen of your two provinces?" ”

"This ...... Wechen really doesn't know. The bus merchant said calmly: "Wechen is a heart of ice, the sun and the moon can be learned, the prince can investigate, as long as he finds out that Weichen has a little immorality, the minister ...... I'd rather die. ”

Qin Lei smiled meaninglessly: "The Lonely Society investigates, but we want to see if there is any dirty thoughts hidden under your flowery surface articles......

The bus dealer said calmly: "Please check the accounts of Your Highness." Qin Lei smiled and said: "Coincidentally, this time the lone king went south, and he was bringing more than a dozen account rooms." Not only the accounts of your Xiangyang Mansion, but also the 28 prefectures of the two provinces must be checked. As he spoke, he stood up with a slightly hideous face: "From now on, it's best to pray that the Lone King can't find anything." ”

After speaking, he shouted in a low voice: "Shi Kang! ”

"Yes!" The heavily armed Shi Dare trotted in.

"Inform Ma Kan, Zhu Gui, and Cheng Siyuan to prepare to close the net!" With Qin Lei's order, several red signal flares rose into the air at the same time, giving an order to the secret agents lurking around.

Qin Lei's action was definitely premeditated, and almost in one day, the whole south was shaken: a team of secret agents who came out of the shadows, holding documents stamped with the great seal of the prince, seized the account offices and warehouses of the provinces and governments one by one, and the account books were loaded and transported to Xiangyang Mansion, and all the officials were notified that they were not allowed to leave the palace for a single step, and they must be with the rumors.

Under the thunderous anger of the prince without warning, the entire south trembled, whether it was a big family or a high-ranking official, and finally found that His Royal Highness, who was sitting in Xiangyang, had already formed absolute control over the south imperceptibly. There is no room for recklessness except to prostrate under such power, closing one's eyes and waiting for death.

But this kind of despair is destined to be only a very few expressions. More people were celebrating and excited, and they had been waiting for this day for a long time...... In other words, they have a vested interest.

For example, the Xu family, for example, the small and medium-sized family headed by the Chai family...... Even the Qiao family, who was a little depressed......

Right! There is no Xu family! There is no Zhuo family! There is no Zhuo family that Qin Lei has been trying his best to woo! There is no Xu family with three princes and military power!

The Tao in this has to start from last year......

After the Southern Incident last year, Qin Lei redivided the sphere of influence of the southern government and large households with half force and half guidance. But even with his high prestige, he could not do a ...... Separate the officials from the nobles.

Because the power of the Shi clan in Great Qin, especially in the south, is deep-rooted, and the main officials of the two provinces are all children of the Shi clan, it can be said that the government is the spokesperson of the Shi clan...... There is no doubt about that.

But what is the government? It's the manager! And what are the gentry? At best, they are just the governed with a noble status. But in fact, the government defended the interests of the scholars, but became a vassal of the scholars. And the power of the southern scholars is too concentrated, and the government is basically monopolized and controlled by the four families, so the four families are the giants of the south, so ......

Therefore, if Qin Lei wants to completely control the south, he must eradicate or control the four major families...... To eradicate is to completely eradicate and make it history; Control is to make it obey orders, but once it belongs to surveillance, the ambition of self-reliance will be revived, so the two words have an essential difference.

Although the four families were intimidated by his power and were very honest for a while, it seemed that it would not affect his control of the south. But after all, the center of Great Qin is still in the central capital, and if you are interested in the world, you can't live in the south for a long time, and the south is the granary of Great Qin, and if you are interested in the world, you must control the south.

The side of the couch does not allow others to snore!

The matter is very simple, if Qin Lei cannot sit in the south, he can only control the south through the government and the revival yamen. If you want these two to work, you must separate the government from the nobles, in other words, eradicate the four families...... Instead of controlling the four big families.

As for the revival of the yamen, as long as the forces of the scholar clan are expelled from the government, they will naturally regard the revival of the yamen as a lifesaver...... And this is exactly what Qin Lei is willing to see.

But the big tree of the 'Four Great Scholars' is too deep-rooted, and even if he has a thousand strengths, he can't uproot it all at once...... Even if it can really be uprooted at once, it will shake the foundation of the south. Therefore, he had to step by step, step by step, talk about strategy and strategy, and put the sling on the heads of the four major families at once.

So last year, he watched the Xu family fall indifferently, and used his yin strength to abolish the Xu family's five successes, and also took down the Qiao family. As a result, after some tossing, the Zhuo family became the only one among the four major families, and the other three families died, sick, and disabled, and none of them could recover.

In this series of struggles, Qin Lei's most clever thing is that he only provided a warm bed for the existing contradictions of the four families, and then he has been hiding behind the scenes, laughing at dog-eat-dog, and coming out from time to time to pretend, so that the four people are not aware of the evil intentions hidden under his smile and care.

Of course, the reason why he didn't reveal his intentions was also related to the self-confidence of the four families...... They believed that whoever wanted to rule the land had to cooperate with them, and could not try to destroy them.

But Qin Lei didn't believe in evil, so he really set a trap and invited you into the urn......

He set his sights on the Xu family and the Zhuo family. The Qiao family, whose image and strength have been greatly damaged, will inevitably try their best to recover their vitality, and the best way to recover their vitality is to directly replenish real money. But where does the money come from?

Naturally, the largest amount of money in the south is in the revival of the yamen, but there are countless small and medium-sized discussions there staring at it, and they can't move at all. So the Qiao family took a fancy to another sum of silver...... The Fuxing Yamen paid the government 10 million taels of silver for five years.
