The Patrol Department was an institution set up by Xu Liang under the Governor's Yamen. The idea of this organization came from the patrol battalion when it was in Jianchang County, Kangfu, southwest of Jiangxi.

Looking for the yamen soap officials who came to be dismissed, the yamen said that Xu Liang did not have many options for them, either obediently working as errands in the patrol department, or, like the more than 3,000 "murderers" in the Chang'an Mansion murder, covered their heads with black cloths, pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded.

Although many days have passed, the smell of blood at the entrance of the vegetable market has not completely dissipated.

There are ready-made role models in front of us, and most of those officials have made the right choice. For the vast majority of people, as long as they can eat with their mouths, they have to get some silver, and they work for the court or the governor, there is no essential difference.

As for the more than 2,000 people imprisoned in the dungeon of the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen, Xu Liang killed a group of them according to the results of the investigation by Tsing Yiwei, and the rest were all under the management of the patrol department.

Xu Liang ordered Tietou to recruit some people, and then selected a group of sentinels from the Liang army, and brought over the generals and other generals, plus the manpower of the above two places, so that the strength of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen Patrol Division reached more than 6,000 people. The function of the Patrol Department is to directly obey the orders of the governor of Shaanxi, and be responsible for local security, inspection, pursuit, and guard.

The commander of the patrol division is the head of the Tsing Yi guard, and the iron head is concurrently.

In the study of the Yafu Yamen, the tax collector lifted Luo Baiguan as if he was drunk, his cheeks were red on both sides, and he was so excited that he was incoherent.

"My lord, according to your orders, the land, shops, and mansions in the names of these officials who have been destroyed will be confiscated to the governor's yamen. The lower officer led the tax collector of the tax collection department to check for seven or eight days. Finally found out. Guess how much was found? If I didn't say it, you would never have imagined! ”

Xu Liang saw Luo Baiguan's excited look. looked at Luo Baiguan with some disdain, "I said Brother Baiguan." If you follow this official, you will be the one who will do great things in the future! Can you make a little difference? Just a little money can excite you into this virtue? ”

Luo Baiguan's eyes widened, and he shouted unconvinced: "My lord, then, how can it be such a little money?!" Have you read the report of the lower officials? That's 300,000 taels! Not including those properties that cannot be realized immediately, real estate! ”

Luo Baiguan surrounded Xu Liang's desk, walking around and chanting: "300,000 taels!" Who dares to say that Shaanxi is poor? Which of these officials is not worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!! Walking around, Luo Baiguan couldn't help but admire Xu Liang so much: "It's still an adult's interests!" I can think of the idea of confiscating the property of these people! ”

Xu Liang was unhappy, glared at Luo Baiguan, and corrected solemnly: "Hey." How to speak! What is confiscation? These Shaanxi officials were suddenly killed, although it is said that the murderer has been punished, they also have a comfort under Jiuquan! But the property in their name suddenly became ownerless! Our Shaanxi Governor Yamen is in line with the original intention of protecting the officials' family property, and we will keep it for them for the time being! ”

"Confiscation! As a parent official in Shaanxi, how could this official do such a shameless thing! Xu Liang Zhenzhen shouted eloquently, and Luo Baiguan was stunned when he heard it, and he admired it even more.

Xu Liang suddenly looked at Luo Baiguan worriedly and asked, "When your tax department seals these assets, it won't use the name of confiscation, right?" ”

Luo Baiguan suddenly laughed. Hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "Where! How can the lower officials put the adults in an embarrassing place! The seals on the doors of those mansions, the lower officials were afraid of causing misunderstandings, but they didn't write a word! Now since the adult defines it as a custodial act, then the lower official will bring someone to add the word! ”

Luo Baiguan said. Seeing Xu Liang nodding approvingly, he was immediately encouraged and arched his hand towards Xu Liang. Immediately went out and implemented it.

Luo Baiguan went out, and after a while, he saw Tietou walk in with a strange expression. reported to Xu Liangyu: "Young Master, Zhu Cunshu, King of Qin, is here. I want to see you in the lobby. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Xu Liang killed all the officials involved in the turmoil in Chang'an this time, and made a small fortune by the way.

And Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, is the only person who confirmed that he participated in the Chang'an turmoil, but he is still alive and well.

Xu Liang didn't go to the king of Qin, so the king of Qin consciously came to the door. It can be seen that the contemporary King of Qin is not a stupid person.

In the governor's hall, when Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, saw the young governor of Shaanxi, he didn't dare to hold it up at all, he hurriedly got up, his face was full of smiles, and he said politely: "Lord Governor, I've been looking up for a long time." ”

Xu Liang smiled slightly, gave up his seat and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Qin. ”

"Hmm, Lord Xu, please get up!" King Qin shouted: "Lord Xu makes this big gift, and Xiao Wang can't afford it." ”

Heaven and earth can be seen, after Xu Liang came to the lobby, he saw this Qin King Zhu Cunshu, just a symbolic arch of his hand, and he did not touch the edge of the big gift at all.

This Qin prince is also a master who opens his eyes and speaks nonsense.

After the two sides sat down, Xu Liang asked with a smile: "Prince Qin is a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what to see when he comes to the governor's yamen of this official today?" ”

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, suddenly felt like a needle in his buttocks, and stood up with a whoosh, his face turned red.

"The governor really frustrated the little king when he said this." King Qin arched his hand and said, with a really ashamed expression on his face.

"Actually, Xiao Wang came here this time to make amends to the governor."

Qin Wang Ye said, pointing to the two mahogany boxes placed in the lobby, and said curtly: "At the beginning of March, the governor went to Guyuan for a meeting, but I didn't expect that the situation in Chang'an City would suddenly change greatly, and bandits were everywhere, smashing and looting everywhere in the city!" Although the governor came back in time, things were well controlled! But Xiao Wang thought about it afterwards, Xiao Wang, as a royal clansman, and his fief was in Xi'an Mansion, he didn't know about such a large-scale turmoil in advance! This is unforgivable. ”

"That little Wang heard that when the governor Yamen arrested those criminals, he had lost a lot of his soldiers. Xiao Wang couldn't help with other work, and after thinking about it, Xiao Wang decided to donate 10,000 taels of silver to the governor's yamen to apologize. Please smile at the governor. ”

Xu Liang listened to this Qin prince rambling a lot, but it turned out that he was sending money to reconcile. For the money sent to the door, Xu Liang has always refused to come. At the moment, he said: "Lord Qin is polite." Then he waved his hand and let the soldiers who were standing there drag him out.

A hint of pain flashed on Prince Qin's face. But when Xu Liang's eyes swept over, Prince Qin became smiling again.

Xu Liang didn't expect that this Qin prince in front of him would still be such a wonderful person!

Xu Liang took a sip of tea. With a bang, he spit out the end of the leaves, without any noble image. The faint tone came from Xu Liang: "Lord Qin." The official abolished several yamen, and then formed the Patrol Division. Did Prince Qin know these things? ”

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, immediately patted his ass: "In fact, this king is not used to the appearance of the salt envoy!" It seems that without him, we in Shaanxi will not be able to eat salt! The establishment of the Patrol Division by the Governor can be described as a pioneering initiative! ”

Xu Liang laughed and said, "Lord Qin has won the award!" Eh, does Prince Qin know the intention of this official to set up the Patrol Division? ”

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, said in his heart: What does this official care about your intentions! However, on the surface, Lord Qin pretended to be at a loss, and asked curiously: "Lord Xu didn't mention it, Xiao Wang really didn't think about it." But I don't know what the governor's intentions are? ”

Xu Liang's tone was still very light, so light that it made Prince Qin feel a little uneasy in his heart for no reason.

"The turmoil in Chang'an City and the subsequent murder have sounded the alarm for this official! Thanks to the emperor's trust, this official came to Shaanxi, in addition to quelling the rebellion of the people's army, but also to protect the territory and the people. The significance of the establishment of the patrol department by this official is that the governor's yamen will investigate in a unified manner and closely supervise all lawbreakers in Chang'an City. Well, speaking of this, the official suddenly remembered something. I just want to ask Lord Qin. ”

When Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, heard this, he shook his head and said, "Don't dare to ask for advice, please speak directly if the governor has something to say." ”

Xu Liang's eyes looked at the top of the lobby at a 45-degree angle, and then said contemplatively: "This official wants to come." In order to protect the territory and the people, the most important thing is to intensify supervision and eliminate all insecurity factors in Chang'an City. Lord Qin. Are you right? ”

King Qin naturally echoed loudly, and said in a loud voice: "That's the truth!" ”

Xu Liang sneered secretly. It was as if the Qin prince in front of him had fallen into a pre-dug deep pit.

I saw Xu Liang stroking his palms and laughing, looking at Lord Qin's eyes as if he had found his long-lost brother. It's a bit of a sympathetic mood.

"It turns out that Lord Qin thinks the same! It's really the same thing that heroes see. Xu Liang laughed, his tone suddenly changed, and he asked straight to Prince Qin: "There are three thousand palace guards in King Qin's Mansion!" With a full 3,000 soldiers, is that a great insecurity? ”

Before the words fell, Prince Qin's face suddenly seemed to be frozen in ice, and then he smiled very reluctantly: "What does Lord Governor mean by this?" Since the time of Taizu, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty can keep 3,000 royal palace guards! The guards of this palace are less than 3,000, only more than 2,500. With such a small number of people, it shouldn't be able to pose a risk factor, right? ”

Xu Liang shook his head when he heard this, chuckled lightly, and said, "Two thousand five hundred people is already a lot!" Prince Qin might as well take a look at the various yamen in Chang'an City, in addition to the patrol department of the governor's yamen with more than 3,000 troops, who else can match thousands of guards! ”

King Qin's face had long since stopped smiling, his face became more and more ugly, and he raised his voice towards Xu Liang and shouted: "The scale of the guards in this royal mansion can be determined in the Taizu era. It's legitimate! ”

Xu Liang said: "I naturally know that the number of guards in the Qin Palace's palace is completely legal. It's just that, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Chang'an City, this official still wants to confirm: a mere Qin Wang's Mansion can be guarded by 3,000 guards? Is it okay to subtract the staff? Five hundred guards should be enough, right? ”

Qin Wang Ye suddenly stood up, glared at Xu Liang angrily, and walked away.

"Hey, don't go!" Xu Liang shouted from behind, but Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, was already very angry and left the governor's yamen.

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, hurriedly walked out of the governor's yamen, boarded his own carriage, and left angrily.

It's just too much! Prince Qin sat on the soft and comfortable cushion of the carriage, but the anger in his heart did not disappear much.

The dignified vassal king, Zhu Cunshu personally came to the door, presented a generous gift, and apologized, just to catch Xu Liang's thoughts, purely to ease the indifferent atmosphere between the Qin Wangfu and the governor's yamen.

However! This Shaanxi governor Xu Liang actually opened his mouth widely, and he actually asked the Qin Wangfu to reduce the number of guards! You have to know the number of vassal king's guards, and there are clear regulations when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sits in the world. The prince of Qin was timid, and for so many years, he carefully maintained the number of palace guards, controlling them to less than three thousand, so as not to attract the suspicion of the court and the emperor!

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, dared to say it loudly in front of other vassal kings: he Zhu Cunshu is neither the richest nor the most powerful, but he is definitely the most disciplined! The guards of the other vassal kings' mansions are not double or triple on the basis of 3,000 people, and they are not embarrassed to say that they are vassal kings!

Zhu Cunshu was very angry: This king is so honest, damn Xu Liang still wants to calculate me!

The loss king also specially prepared 10,000 taels of silver to pay a visit! Belch...... The matter was messed up, but the silver Xu Liang accepted it slippery! Zhu Cunshu felt that his chest was clogged! Cursed a few times viciously in a hurry!

After entering the gate of the Qin Palace, and getting off the carriage in the outer courtyard, Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, got out of the carriage, and shouted angrily to the palace steward who greeted him: "Pass on the king's order, from now on, the palace guards will guard all entrances and exits, without the king's warrant, any stranger dares to approach the Qin palace, and the king will be killed on the spot!" ”

The housekeeper was so shocked that he didn't understand why King Qin went to the governor's yamen, how did he come back like this?!

It should be said that the subordinates of the Qin Wangfu are still very conscientious. Qin King Zhu Cunshu gave an order, and the Qin Palace's Mansion acted quickly, and the Qin Mansion housekeeper checked the doors of the Qin Palace's Mansion one by one, and replaced four side doors that did not look reliable enough, and then arranged palace guards to guard the palace day and night in front of every door in the Qin Palace.

The effect of the day was very obvious, a few people who set up stalls in front of the Qin Wangfu saw that this kind of frame was suddenly put up in the Qin Wangfu, and they changed the place one after another, and the always lively Qin Wangfu began to quiet down, and no strangers dared to visit! Prince Qin was very satisfied, and wrote the excerpt of the impeachment of Xu Liang that night, and ordered someone to send it out overnight.

This night, the Qin Wangfu slept very peacefully with the concubine in his arms, until the next day when the window was bright, and the housekeeper of the palace rushed in in a panic, shouting with a trembling mouth: "Lord! The prince is out, something big has happened! ”

When Prince Qin heard the sound, he sat up in shock, and by the way, he also woke up the concubine who was not wearing an inch beside him.

As soon as the concubine woke up, she took two breaths, covered her nose, frowned and said, "Well, it stinks!" ”

Qin Wangye tried to inhale gently, and suddenly the sourness that penetrated into his nostrils almost made Qin Wangfu vomit all the overnight food. Qin Wang Ye was furious: "Butler! What does it smell like!! (To be continued.) )
