Li You first lured him with huge profits, and then took advantage of Xiao Zhi's reasoning, and finally showed his authority without revealing it. The three-plate axe worked well, and the three generals were co-opted, and they cut a way out of the trap set by the prefect and the garrison.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. Lord Li focused his attention on the prefect of Luo, as for the two-faced and three-sworded Xin garrison, in the environment of high civil and military power, he couldn't set off much storm.

However, the reckless and shallow Lord Fuzun made Li You unable to see through, and he never understood what Luo Zhifu wanted.

Master Li prides himself on having lofty ambitions and great vision. Since he took office in Jiangdu County, he has never wanted to fight with the government, there is no need for this, and it is not worth it, in his mind, the two sides just need to deal with each other according to the rules of officialdom. And so far, there has really been no conflict of interest with the government.

However, Governor Luo took the initiative to provoke him on various occasions and things again and again, which was both unexpected and inexplicable to Lord Li.

It is completely unreasonable that a high-grade prefect will not gain any benefit from stalking a low-grade general sentence to the death. If there is a backstage party commander, it can also be understood, and it can be learned from Master Hu, who is familiar with the local people, that the Luo Governor's Mansion does not have any big backers now, and he has not heard of any of his old enemies getting close.

There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, but Fuzun seems to be for no reason, and he acts recklessly as if he is a very immature officialdom newcomer.

Master Li has a little research on people's surnames, but he is also puzzled in the face of this sample of "I am Xiaobai, who am I afraid of".

This surnamed Luo is like a kraft candy entangled, both lingering and heart-blocking, and it is possible to come up with new tricks at any time in the future, which is impossible to prevent, Li You thought secretly. But helplessly, he can't avoid him, there is no reason for subordinates to ask the court to change their superiors in the officialdom of the country, and it is estimated that this matter will not be able to grasp the real evidence today.

Coming and not being rude, Li You decided to change from passive to active preemptive strike in the future, and he couldn't make Luo Zhifu so unscrupulous anymore, otherwise he would seem to be a bully.

At the same time, another thought flashed through Lord Li's heart, probably the cabinet scholars also saw themselves this way at the beginning, and now I really understand that tangled feeling... Luo Zhifu was uncomfortable being looked at by Li You, he knew that it was best for him to leave now, otherwise he might fall deeper and deeper. But he was worried that after he pulled his legs and left, Xin Shoubei couldn't bear the pressure in the face of Li You alone, and said something inappropriate, so he had to continue to spend here.

Not long after, the three generals led their own soldiers to escort a number of scarred people into the lobby, and relied on the strength of the crowd to drive out all the cronies on duty who were guarding Xin.

The first to surrender the general Shi Juexing saluted Li You and said: "I asked these captains, and they confessed that the gathering of the crowd was expressly instructed by the sentry Hou Bing, and they made an appointment to deliberately start an incident in front of the suppression. They heard Hou Bing say it in detail yesterday, but in fact, it was all arranged by Lord Garrison Xin. ”

Li You was quite surprised, not that Xin Shoubei was involved by accident, which was expected.

He originally planned to interrogate him personally, but he didn't expect that Shi Juexing would take the initiative to interrogate the results. What's even more unexpected is that Shi Jiang was able to personally point out Xin Shoubei without hesitation, which can be regarded as a complete break with Xin Shoubei.

This is the difference between the habits of military attachés and civilian officials, once you change jobs and change camps and turn your face, it is really neat and resolute to not miss the old feelings... If a civil official has to twist hypocrisy, even people like him Li You were unwilling to jump ship easily when he faced the strong temptation of the eldest princess Chitose.

But are such people really reliable? Master Li became suspicious again.

Compared with the general manager of Shi Jiang, who directly took credit from his boss, he suddenly felt that the other two general managers acted steadily and were more trustworthy. But as a politician who is maturing, this kind of thinking must not be revealed at this moment, otherwise who would dare to work hard to join you?

Pressing his thoughts, Li You asked Xin Shoubei, who was in a daze for a long time, in an unkind tone: "With this person to identify, what else do you have to say?" ”

Governor Luo also looked at Xin Shoubei nervously, he was willing to take the risk and not leave, just to get this time.

Xin Shoubei laughed miserably a few times, and said very happily: "Humble confession!" Everything that is said today is a lowly command! Luo Fuzun was invited by a humble position, even if he entered the military camp without permission, it was a lowly mistake. ”

In the face of Li Zhenfu, Lord Xin's confidence has long been destroyed, and it is meaningless to resist.

Li You was a little disappointed, because Xin Shoubei took on the crime and did not implicate the Luo Governor's Mansion, but it was also expected by him. Regardless of whether he confesses to Luo Zhifu or not, the guilt of Lord Xin as a garrison will not be able to escape, and it will not be reduced, so there is no need for dogs jumping over the wall and biting indiscriminately.

If it was an ordinary person, Li You would have ordered torture a long time ago, and he would have to get a satisfactory result if he was beaten into a trick.

It's a pity that Xin Shoubei is a fifth-grade official after all. Moreover, now is not the time for war, and Li Zhenfu does not have Shang Fang's sword, so he can't just use the military to rule him down, so he can only ask the court to deal with it very bureaucraticly.

The military judge was called to write the relevant documents, and after Xin Shoubei's painting was postponed, he was handed over to Shi Jiang to be in charge of house arrest.

He also took out the seal letter of the garrison division, and Li Zhenfu dictated the scribe to write a notebook, stamped it with a large seal, and handed it to his entourage to send to the express shop. The main impeachment of Xin Garrison for power and profit, disregarding the overall situation, resisting the imperial order, plotting to trap colleagues, resisting the superior, and inciting the military to expel the chief official of the imperial court.

Before leaving, Xin Shoubei clenched his fists and said to Luo Zhifu: "My wife and children are entrusted to the mansion." ”

Luo Zhifu nodded solemnly and said, "With this official taking care of you, you don't need to worry about it." ”

This is really a blatant deal, and Li You hated it so much, but he didn't stop it. Everyone is an official person, and he doesn't want to lose a reputation for being unkind, and when the court disposes of it, if the family members even sit down, it will not be too late to arrest them.

From the early morning toss to now, it is almost afternoon.

With a letter in his left hand and a token in his right hand, Master Li officially took over as the head of the Garrison Department of the Prefecture. Luo Fuzun couldn't get used to the villain's appearance, so he snorted coldly and left.

Li Zhenfu did not return to the county office, and immediately ordered that all the battalions and schools gather and wait to read again!

In the afternoon of midsummer, it was scorching, and there was no shade on the school field, which was like boiling. When the soldiers of the three battalions heard the sound of drums and horns, they all complained bitterly, and only after they went to stand in the school yard for a while, they seemed to be roasted.

Li You was in the lobby, chatting with the three bosses over tea and chatting, and he didn't mean to go out to read after half an hour.

In the end, it was Wu Xianhan who was more sympathetic to the soldiers, and couldn't help but remind: "The battalion soldiers are still suffering outside, I don't know what to show for the suppression?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenfu put down the tea bowl, got up and said, "Then let's go and have a look." ”

As soon as the cadres arrived at the school ground, Li You stared at the top of his head, and found that the number of people was obviously wrong, "There should have been 1,400 people in the camp?" I'm afraid that there will be less than 400 in this game! ”

The three of them were speechless. Lord Li, your prestige is not enough when you first arrive, and you have gathered people in such weather, and you have not shown up for a long time, who is willing to continue to wait stupidly? Most of them were afraid that they would either go back to the barracks or go to the shade of the trees on all sides.

Could it be that Lord Li planned to find something to stand up for and do it on purpose? But Liwei also has to pay attention to the way, even if it wants to march the law, it is not the law that holds the public accountable. How can so many people be punished for not obeying orders? On the contrary, the general's heart will be lost.

To be honest, the three generals all think that this is not to blame the soldiers, but to blame Master Li himself... In the morning, I still think that Master Li is shrewd and reliable, why is it so unreliable in the afternoon?

Li You didn't care what he always thought, he came straight to the sparse military formation, came face to face with the remaining three or four hundred soldiers, and said in a loud voice: "The battalion is full of soldiers, only these loyal and commendable ones are left, which makes this official very pleased. The patrol of this county is not effective in anti-smuggling salt, and the official wants to replace it with officers and soldiers, but he doesn't know how to choose soldiers. Whoever does not obey the order to leave, there is no such blessing for the time being! ”

The news spread all over the school field, and the battalion soldiers who were still holding on were all ecstatic, and they were smashed by the big pie falling from the sky.

That's a fat pocket-rich smuggling salt! These big-headed soldiers, three buckets of rice and three coins of silver per month, there is no one or two taels left in a year. If you can go outside the city to investigate illegal salt, you can earn back one or twenty taels a year! Although I heard that some salt barons have weapons, but people die for money, birds die for food, their battalion has a large number of soldiers and good weapons, can they still beat salt barons?

When they realized that this was not a dream, the battalion soldiers present knelt down and fell to the ground in unison, and someone immediately shouted: "I am willing to die for the pacification!" ”

When the words rang out one after another in the school field, the more they shouted, the more neat they became, and finally the sound of closing up went straight to the sky, and the voice of "willing to die for the pacification" echoed over the school field.

A few generals understood that Lord Li's idea of collecting the hearts of the army this time was not to punish Liwei, but to show grace, at least now the loyalty of these three or four hundred people is definitely close to the full value.

As for the 1,000 people who slipped away in advance, I'm afraid that their intestines will be repentant. Although it seems that Master Li will not apply any military law to them, he has lost the opportunity to arrest smuggling, which is more heart-wrenching than any military law.

Li You turned to the generals with a smile and said: "The three battalions of Fucheng will be re-divided, and now these in the field can be organized into anti-smuggling enterprises, and when the official gives the order, he will go to the various outposts outside the city to divide troops to guard them, and create a great cause of anti-smuggling!" The salt season in the second half of the year is approaching, so please work hard for two months, and Mr. Wu and Mr. Liu take turns to go into battle for two months. ”

"Yes!" The three of them said together.

Li You thought for a while, and then said: "The number of people on the field is less than one battalion, you can send soldiers to make up for the number." As for the other battalion soldiers, it is not without opportunities, there is no need to worry, arrange for next year's rotation! ”

The so-called to make up for the number of people is Lord Li's trick of entrapment, deliberately leaving the three of them the opportunity to open the back door and install their own people.
