The investigation of the case is different from the intrigue of the court, it must be stripped of the cocoon, not in vain, especially the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin, if Qin Kan and Mu Bin's guess is correct, the White Lotus Sect has infiltrated Tianjin Sanwei, so that the investigation of the case needs to be more cautious, otherwise a small negligence or unjust case can provoke the mutiny of Tianjin Sanwei.

The stakes were so important that Qin Kan didn't dare to be careless, and after arriving in Tianjin, he didn't take any other actions except to visit Mu Bin, as if he was only going to Tianjin for a vacation in the official office.

Coming out of Mu Bin's residence, Qin Kan apologized to the officials of Caoyun and Yandao who had been waiting for a long time in the second hall, as well as the commanders of the three guards, and everyone greeted them with a round of greetings.

Qin Kan felt slightly impatient, but the form of welcoming and sending in the officialdom could not be ignored, and he had to deal with it for a long time, but he couldn't resist the repeated invitations of Chen Xiong and others, and besides, when Qin sent to the place, it was an unwritten rule for officials to receive a banquet, so Qin Kan had to reluctantly go to the banquet.

A luxurious banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and the banquet was naturally indispensable during the banquet, and several famous prostitutes invited by the officials from the Jingshi Qinglou in advance played the kite and blow the flute, singing and dancing, and when it came to the banquet, Qin Kan still shirked the hospitality of the officials and generals to stuff the famous prostitutes into his bed, and under the resentful gaze of the famous prostitutes, Qin Kan, who was red-faced, walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the drunken feeling subsided a lot, and Qin Kan's eyes became clear again.

The outside of the restaurant has been cleared, and any idle people are not allowed to approach, and the captains in brocade clothes like wolves and tigers surround the restaurant with three floors inside and three floors outside. Li Er was wearing soft armor and stood quietly at the door of the restaurant waiting for Qin Kan.

Qin Kan smiled at him and ordered, "Go and invite Uncle Chen down alone." said that Ben Hou had something to discuss with him. ”

Li Er hugged his fists and responded, and soon, Pingjiang Bo Chen Xiong, who was wearing a long mink fur, hurriedly walked downstairs, just like Qin Kan, the alcohol on his face subsided a little when he went downstairs, it seems that drinking is the same as being a person, and he secretly keeps a few points.

"I don't know what the Hou Ye commanded to send?" Chen Xiong arched his hand.

Qin Kan smiled: "Although the cold night is cold, it is an elegant matter to look for plum blossoms at night, I don't know if Uncle Chen is willing to go with a certain line?" ”

Chen Xiong paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master Hou has this Yaxing." The lower officials dared to disobey their orders. ”

The two walked side by side. Hundreds of Jinyi lieutenants followed closely from each other.

…………

…………

Strictly speaking, Tianjin City is actually a military city and a seaside port, the people are only 2,000 households, more are sergeants and sea ships, Tianjin is not only an important geographical location. At the same time, it is also the north-south transit station of Daming. Medicinal herbs, timber and specialties of the North. The rice, silk and porcelain in the south are all transferred at the Tianjin wharf, so it started from the construction of Tianjin City in the Yongle year. Tianjin is stationed in Caoyun Yamen, and the five generations of the Chen family are stationed in Tianjin, and they are hereditary Caoyun governors.

The night wind was very cold, taking a deep breath, Qin Kan could even smell the salty smell of the sea mixed with the wind, Chen Xiong felt faintly half a step behind Qin Kan, and the two of them walked silently all the way.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Kan finally spoke: "Does Pingjiang know why Ben Hou came to Tianjin this time?" ”

Chen Xiong said respectfully: "Before Hou Ye arrived in Tianjin, all the officials and guards had already received an official letter from the General Administration Department, although the official letter did not say what business Hou Ye came here for, but almost all the people below knew that the White Lotus Sect was rampant, and it had damaged many of the factory guards. ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "How did the officials and generals in Tianjin City react? ”

Chen Xiong smiled bitterly: "Including the lower officials, they are naturally panicked. In the coming days, the White Lotus Sect will be punished, and if the imperial court will be held responsible, the officials and generals in Tianjin will be afraid that they will not be able to escape the crime of ineffective supervision. ”

Qin Kan nodded and said: "Ben Hou will not hide it from you, after the White Lotus Sect is exterminated, the imperial court will definitely be investigated, but Ping Jiangbo doesn't have to worry, you are the only noble in Tianjin City, and you are responsible for the world's luck, the imperial court will not be too strict with you, besides, Ben Hou is currently in Tianjin to suppress the White Lotus, and many places still need Ping Jiangbo's strong help. ”

Chen Xiong hurriedly said: "Master Hou, but there is a dispatch, and the subordinate officials will be killed." ”

"Ben Hou is not welcome, Ping Jiangbo is in charge of Caoyun, responsible for the transfer of south to north, Ben Hou asked you, do you really grasp the line of Caoyun?"

"That's natural, but although Xia Guan is the governor, the people allocated by the imperial court are limited after all, and many times I have to rely on the help of the officials and the Cao Gang in various places on the Cao Yun Line."

Qin Kan sighed, Cao Yun is a business, the prosperity is also the Cao Gang, and the decline is also the Cao Gang, since the Cao Yun, the Cao Gang is an indispensable and important role, but it is also the most unstable and dangerous role.

In peaceful years, the bitter men of the Cao Gang can be the kindest and most contented Shunmin, once someone instigates a few words in troubled times, these Shunmin will instantly become the most terrible anti-army.

"How many people are there at the Tianjin wharf?" Qin Kan suddenly asked.

Chen Xiong thought for a while and said, "About two thousand people ...... around."

Saying that, Chen Xiong was startled, sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "What does Master Hou mean, there are more than 2,000 people......"

Qin Kan sighed: "The White Lotus Sect is accustomed to taking the poor people at the bottom as its development goal, I don't mean that more than 2,000 people have been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect, it's just that ...... After all, they are the group most likely to be deceived and cause chaos. ”

Chen Xiong's panic was very dramatic, if more than 2,000 wharf people rebelled, the imperial court would investigate it, and the first unlucky person would be him, the governor of Caoyun.

Soon, Chen Xiong's panic was replaced by a murderous opportunity, and he said gloomily: "Master Hou, the situation is urgent, it is better to kill by mistake than to indulge in vain, the lower official asks Lord Hou to use thunderous means, regardless of whether these people have entered the White Lotus Sect or not, it is better to get rid of them all before reasoning......"

Qin Kan suddenly stopped, glanced at Chen Xiong deeply, and said lightly: "Without evidence, kill more than 2,000 people with a shot?" Ping Jiangbo is good. ”

"Master Hou, if you keep interrupting, there will be a big disaster!"

Qin Kan sneered: "Ben Hou came to Tianjin to investigate anti-thieves, not to lay a butcher's knife on innocent people, if Ben Hou indiscriminately kills indiscriminately, how is this move different from beasts?" Besides, if you really kill more than 2,000 people and arouse the public indignation of the whole city, then the people will have to rebel if they don't rebel, Pingjiangbo, you are the governor of Caoyun, take good care of your Caoyun, and you don't need to interfere in the matter of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Chen Xiong threw up his hand worriedly: "Yes, the lower official knows that he is wrong." ”

"How much grain and rice does the sea ship at Tianjin Wharf bring from the south every month?"

"100,000 stones, after the sea ship docks, the grain will be unloaded and left, and sent to the granaries of the government in various parts of the north."

"Where is the grain stored in Tianjin?"

"Sanwei originally had a military tun, but the consumption was very small, there were only 2,000 households in the city, and the grain consumption was not much, and there were usually only 1,000 stones of grain stored in the official warehouse in Tianjin."

Qin Kan shook his head: "Less, Uncle Pingjiang, Benhou needs you to do something......

"Master Hou commanded."

"Within three days, deduct 2,000 stone grain and rice from the grain, find a secret place, no need to use people's husbands, Benhou will send officers and soldiers under his command to personally escort and seal it, and at the same time, Benhou will also send letters to the government in the north in the name of Qincha to explain, temporarily transfer these 2,000 stone grain and rice, so as not to embarrass Pingjiangbo."

Chen Xiong was stunned and said, "Master Hou, why is this move? ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Don't ask more, do this matter well, Benhou will ensure that you have no merit." ”

*****************************************************************

Chen Xiong was full of suspicion and left with trepidation, and Qin Kan watched him walk away with a smile in the dark night.

Li Er stepped forward and asked puzzledly, "What is the purpose of Hou Ye's two thousand stones of grain?" ”

Qin Kan said lightly: "It's just a rainy day, I don't know about the White Lotus Sect, but I understand the people's hearts." If you want the people's hearts to be stable, food must not be missing, and if the people's hearts are stable, how can the White Lotus Sect instigate? Governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, investigating the thief is also like cooking a small fresh, always step by step slowly arranged, every chess piece that can be imagined, whether useful or not, first arrange it down and then say, just wait for the future when the fire comes, this seemingly useless chess piece may have played a big role. ”

Li Er smiled and complimented: "Master Hou has seen thousands of miles. ”

Qin Kan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if I have a clear opinion, whether I am fighting bravely or wits with the White Lotus Sect, it is said that I have taken a big advantage, because I am standing behind the imperial court and the emperor, and I can raise the material resources and manpower of the country to fight alone in a corner, in this regard, the White Lotus Sect will suffer a lot, and if it is not martial, it is called a shame if it is not victorious." ”

Li Er said with a smile: "If Ding Shun listens to your words, Master Hou, I'm afraid that he will be so ashamed that he will hit the wall." ”

"Ding Shun also tried his best, he is different from me, I am the imperial court, and he is just Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, I can call people or things, Ding Shun may not be able to call, for example, I just asked Chen Xiong to prepare two thousand stone grain and rice, and Ding Shun made the same request as Chen Xiong, do you think Chen Xiong will ignore him? Besides, Ding Shun's investigation idea is also problematic, as soon as he came to Tianjin, he investigated the White Lotus Sect in a bright and bright manner, which made the people in the city panic, and also provoked the White Lotus Sect to kill him, his eyes were only on the White Lotus Sect, and it was only limited to the White Lotus Sect. ”

"Master Hou, you just said that Ding Shun is only limited to the White Lotus Sect, does Master Hou have another trick?"

Qin Kan nodded, and said: "From the time I entered Tianjin City to the present, I have not deliberately preached it, and I have not alarmed the people, just because I have learned the lesson of Ding Shun, unlike Ding Shun, I am waiting, waiting for the White Lotus Sect to make a move, quiet is like a mountain, invulnerable, moving is like the wind, there are flaws everywhere, only when the White Lotus Sect moves, I can find an opportunity......

"Master Hou is clever!"

"You can't wait completely passively, Li Er, you send someone to invite all the squires of the wang clan inside and outside Tianjin, I have something to discuss."
