Jinan City, Governor Yamen.

Guo Songtao's tired eye sockets in the past few days are deep, and the damage brought by the twisting army to Jinan City is too great, whether it is casualties, there are also some houses and buildings damaged, especially Guo's mansion, which was burned down by fire and has two floors of houses, and there are blood stains everywhere, and Jinan City has suffered heavy losses.

In order to appease the people as soon as possible, Guo Songtao and Li Junfeng showed all their skills, pensions, relief, and help the people repair their houses, all the tricks were used, and it took a whole month for Jinan City to gradually settle down and restore its former prosperity.

Today, Guo Songtao is rare to be idle, sitting in the back and reading, a thick book of general knowledge of governance, for politicians, reading history is a compulsory homework, this book of general knowledge of governance is a must-read boutique, the knowledge of politics, the wisdom of life, all in it, Guo Songtao no longer knows how many times he has read it, and he still can't put it down.

When Guo Songtao was shaking his head, a servant rushed in, "My lord, my lord!" It's back, it's back! ”

Guo Songtao, who was concentrating, was taken aback and said angrily: "What's the matter, don't you see that Ben Fu is reading history?" Damn minions! ”

The servant's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Futai, the small one should be damned, and the little one should be damned." It's Lao Futai who is back, and Lord Lao Futai is back! ”

In fact, Guo Ye is only twenty-four or five years old now, he is young, and he can't afford an old word, but he is the former governor of Shandong, which has brought earth-shaking changes to Shandong, especially Jinan, but all Shandong people respect Guo Ye, and an old word can't express their respect.

When Guo Songtao heard this, he jumped up, and "Zizhi Tongjian" was also thrown on the table by him, shouting: "Do you see clearly? ”

The official was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly, and nodded again and again.

Guo Songtao shook off his steps, thought about the yamen in front of him and ran over, and came to the lobby, only to see Guo Ye sitting on the governor's throne sipping fragrant tea, crossing Erlang's legs, looking leisurely!

"Brother Xian, Brother Xian, haha, Brother Fool has finally brought you back!"

Guo Songtao was very excited, this time he was tired enough, and he didn't even have a helper by his side, Li Junfeng was too young after all, he had just been promoted from the prefect to the political envoy, and it was inevitable that he could not convince the public, Ding Baozhen was an envoy with strong independence, and he did not have such a close relationship with Guo Songtao, so naturally the burden fell on him.

Now that Guo Ye is finally back, at least, he can take a breath.

Guo Songtao stepped forward a few steps, hugged Guo Ye in his arms, and gave him a big hug!

"Big brother, if you don't let go, I'll be strangled to death by you!"

Guo Ye smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Guo Songtao let go of his hand and asked, "How is it?" Have you gone back and seen your big fat boy? But it's cute! ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "I have just entered the city, and I haven't had time to go back yet, so I should report to you first, how about it, is Jinan City settled down now?" ”

Guo Songtao heard this, sighed, and replied: "Fortunately, after a month of appeasement, I finally calmed down, but this time has made me tired enough, and the loss of our Jinan City is not small......"

Guo Ye replied: "Well, this time we were careless, originally the bandit raid, but also in my expectation, is that Jinan has been hiding a combat force in case of emergency, what people didn't expect is that the special Eight Banners are too vegetable, 3,000 people, and they didn't even hold on for an hour, which disappointed me too much......

Guo Songtao nodded and said: "Thanks to Yunlu, without this kid, Jinan would definitely be ruined, this Zengqi is really innocent!" ”

Guo Ye said hatefully: "Don't worry, big brother, the Eight Banners won't last long, and the current court must be in a hurry, if you don't show some sincerity to Lao Tzu, this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get by!" ”

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about this matter later, I was about to write to you in the past two days, and there is another matter that I am going to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's not that Zhang Xiaotang yet? In front of the battle, Zeng Qi escaped from the battle, and Zhang Xiaotang directly shot Zeng Qi to death, trying to stabilize the morale of the army. As a result, this matter spread to the capital, and the Manchu nobles in the capital tossed vigorously, and the edicts of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment had arrived, demanding that Zhang Xiaotang be immediately sent to the capital for punishment, and now Zhang Xiaotang has been sent to prison......"

"What?"

Guo Ye's brows stood up immediately, I'll wipe it! It's really against the sky, Lao Tzu's soldiers, his military department and the criminal department dare to arrest if they dare to arrest him? It's really a tiger that doesn't wield, and that Lao Tzu is a sick cat!

"Big brother, who told you to put him in prison? Zhang Xiaotang's implementation of wartime military discipline, what is wrong? Could it be that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has come to the court, and you won't push him back? ”

Guo Ye was unusually dissatisfied and shouted loudly.

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xian, what you said is light, it is an edict under the joint command of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, and I want to take people directly, how can I withstand it as a governor?" It's good to be able to delay until you get back now......"

"Which one is coming?"

"The left attendant of the Criminal Department, Abiko, personally brought someone to ......"

No wonder Guo Songtao can't afford to provoke him, not to mention the two departments, even if he is a waiter in the criminal department, he is also a member of the second grade, and he is even higher than Guo Songtao, how can he afford to provoke him, and the official is a big man who crushes people to death!

"Where is Abiko now?"

"Today he brought a message, saying that he was going to the prison to interrogate Zhang Xiaotang, and he should still be in prison......"

"You!"

Guo Ye's face turned blue with anger, and he roared angrily: "Big brother, you are a wood, such a big thing, don't you know to watch it in person?" Aren't you afraid of what they will do? ”

Guo Songtao's face turned red, and he replied: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, I have already told Ding Baozhen about this matter, and now Ding Baozhen is in prison himself, nothing can go wrong, I ......"

In fact, Guo Songtao also has a hard time, that is, Guo Songtao's personality is a little weak, he lacks that fierce spirit, and there is no problem in governing the place, but in the face of the criticism of his superiors, he is clumsy to deal with it, and in the face of the advance of the criminal department and the military department, he is helpless, and he can only pin his hopes on Guo Ye getting the news as soon as possible, and Ding Baozhen can withstand the huge pressure.

Guo Ye roared: "Okay, you don't have to meddle in this matter, I'll solve it myself, it's a special code, if Lao Tzu doesn't beat this Yabiko out of, he won't be surnamed Guo!" Huanzhang, follow me! ”
