Chapter 132: Open Fight and Secret Fight

The work was suddenly blocked, although he was angry, but it was also expected, with Qian Tai's understanding of Gu Tong, this guy would definitely not give up, he had already suffered a loss on the issue of the land of the right thousand households, this time Li Zongbing wanted to sort out the military households, it was obviously aimed at him, and it would be strange if he was a turtle with a shrunken head.

In the past, Qian Tai, as a left-behind official of the Wei Si Yamen, was restrained by Gu Tong everywhere and swallowed his anger. Now that the imperial court has sent a general soldier of the three guards, out of Gu Tong's arrogance, this person is obviously his natural backing, and he is not as timid as before when he does things. Qian Tai decided to go to Li Xin first to explain the specific situation of this matter, and then make countermeasures, but he didn't find his shadow after walking around.

Later, I finally learned from a soap li's mouth that Mr. Li had gone out of the city with a few cronies, and it was said that he was going to walk along the river, and he seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to be planning to go on a safari.

Qian Tai's sense of Li Xin suddenly dropped a lot, and now this Li Zongbing didn't even sit down with his buttocks, and he wanted to play when he was in danger, is it a little unstable enough? Can his plan to bring down Gu Tong with his help be realized? But then he was relieved, after all, General Li was from Beijing, and the scenery of the border was rare, and it was understandable to go for a tour. Thinking of this, Qian Tai's disappointed feelings gradually calmed down, since this is the case, it is okay not to make sense, and he will go and implement this matter first.

Qian Tai regarded Li Xin as a pampered eldest son, which can't be blamed for his distraction, with Li Xin in his twenties, he can become a third-grade general soldier, and he is only one step away from sealing the altar to worship the general, how can he be an ordinary person. This promotion process, according to the usual practice, is as fast as possible, and it is absolutely difficult to do without the age of forty. Therefore, it is not surprising that he can have such an idea. It's just that when he learns that Li Xin is just a horse thief and has become the chief soldier of the three guards, I'm afraid he will be even more dumbfounded!

Qian Tai was very sure in his heart, anyway, General Li had an elite cavalry in his hand, and once he tore his face, he was not afraid of him Gu Tong's difficulties.

Qian Tai first visited several old military households in the right thousand households, and on the surface he asked for warmth, but in fact he was trying to get their ideas. When it comes to the General Military Office's inventory of the population of military households, they all sigh with a face.

"Alas, the governor really doesn't hide it, everyone has nothing to say to General Li, he has recovered the land for the military households of our right thousand households. But, he sorted out the matter of the military households, but the big guys were confused in their hearts, there was already a wind from the Zuo Qianhu office, and our Zhenwei sorted out the military households in order to prepare for the distribution of land according to Dingkou......"

When the old soldier said this, Qian Tai understood. Now, due to the continuous wars and disasters, the number of military households is no longer the number of those years, but the land of the big guys is still cultivated according to the distribution share of the year. Once the actual number of military households is recounted, the extra land of every household will naturally be confiscated. Therefore, even if General Li has done some good things for the military households, when it comes to the issue of land and jobs, they will also stand on the opposite side of the General Military Mansion and Li Xin.

However, there is indeed a matter of sorting out the land, but the matter of redistributing the land according to Dingkou is nothing, and Li Xin has never revealed that he has such an idea. It must be a rumor spread by Gu Tong, the military households value the land more than their lives, so it will be difficult to implement the military order of the General Military Office to order the Wei Si Yamen to sort out the military households.

Qian Taigang wanted to promise the old military household that the land would be redistributed according to Dingkou, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, and an idea suddenly jumped out, what if General Li really had the idea of confiscating the land? So he said good words and soothed him and left. He went to find the general banner Chen Si again, this person dared to fight with Gu Tong, and his reputation in the right thousand households has increased a lot, as long as he can support the Wei Si Yamen to sort out the military households, the right thousand households can be handled, this matter can be regarded as a good start, and the future work will be carried out.

However, when Qian Tai came to Chen Si's gathering village in the hundred households, he didn't even find his figure, only his mother-in-law was at home alone. Obviously, it is to hide from right and wrong, and the military households do not cooperate from top to bottom, and they must not use force, otherwise it may not be impossible to provoke chaos again.

Although Qian Tai returned home, he was not discouraged, because the military households did not cooperate, mainly caused by the rumors of the distribution of land according to Dingkou, as long as he could get a firm word from Li Xin and release the news that the military households had nothing to do with the distribution of land, the problem could be solved.

In the evening, Qian Tai returned to the Weisi Yamen, and when he saw that Li Xin and his party had not returned, he couldn't help muttering. Aren't they going to spend the night outside the city? This place is very close to the side wall, what if there is a bad one? After thinking about it, it is better to send a soap officer outside the city to find him before dark.

Because of the dilapidated appearance of the yamen and the inability to pay their wages, these soap subordinates of the Yamen of the Wei Division lost their confidence one by one, and they all went home long ago and no longer asked about the affairs of the yamen. After Li Xin took office, he felt that it was very inappropriate for Qian Tai to run forward and run alone in the yamen, and he couldn't be busy with many things alone. In the name of the General Military Office, these people were recruited back, and at the same time they promised that they would not be in arrears of wages beyond the payment of the arrears of wages for several months.

Of course, the money was paid from the money of the Wei Si Yamen, which Qian Tai managed. According to his thoughts, he would not have used that amount of money lightly until he trusted the commander of the guard.

But after making that promise to Chen Si, the mind that had been stubbornly guarded in the past had been activated. In the end, this amount of money was not paid to Chen Siyi under Li Xin's interference, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and solved a big problem for him. Therefore, Li Xin asked him to pay the wages of the soap li, and he had to reluctantly comply.

The money was spent, and the Wei Si Yamen was also angry, and the soap subordinates who had ignored Qian Taidai in the past also began to nod their heads to him because of his payment of wages, and responded to his requests. Qian Tai also regained the original feeling of majesty when he was an official, and he almost decided all the affairs of the entire Wei Si Yamen, this kind of refreshment, the Wei Commander is nothing more than that.

Looking at the back of Soap Li hurriedly leaving the city, Qian Tai remembered the big man of the Datong Mansion and the Yamen, who was he? And why did he let himself suppress Gu Tong at any cost? Have you completed the task now? When will the other party be able to fulfill their promise? There were more and more questions in Qian Tai's head, and he suddenly thought of another question, if the big people in the Dusi Yamen couldn't get used to Gu Tong, they would just find a reason to get rid of him, why bother looking for a little person who has no job and no power, so why do you want to do it too much?

The winter sun sets early, but in a matter of moments, the sun in the west has turned bright red and no longer shines. Zeng Dare, who also lived in the Yamen of the Wei Division, was not idle, he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Xin's indulgence and connivance of Gu Tong, and decided to bypass Li Xin and act alone, after all, he was still responsible for the errand of the Yamen Experience Division of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and it was not a dog to take a mouse.

The most direct and effective way to deal with Gu Tong is to find evidence that he is ignoring the law and discipline, he and Li Xin are both outsiders, and if you want to do this kind of work, you must find an assistant among local officials. At present, there are only two officials in the Weisi Yamen, Qian Tai, the governor of the Weisi Yamen, and Shi Datuo, the subordinate.

Li Xin has already chosen Qian Tai, and this Qian Tai follows Li Xin in front of the saddle all day long, which is really an image of a fart, and he dared to feel sick to his stomach when he saw it. However, although Shi Datuo looked rude, in fact, after careful observation, he found that this person was thick and fine, and he was by no means as reckless as he appeared. Moreover, the most important point is that Li Xin seems to be quite prejudiced against this person, and does not ask him to participate in confidential affairs on weekdays.

Moreover, because Li Xin didn't want to see Zeng Dare, even the soap subordinate with the Wei Si Yamen, and even the miscellaneous servants who had just been invited were unwilling to say a word to him. Only this Stada didn't care, and almost answered his questions. So, Zeng Dare decided to win this Shi Datuo into his camp and let him help him collect evidence of Gu Tong's crimes.

At the same time that Qian Tai sent someone to find Li Xin, Zeng dared to teach Shi Datuo face-to-face in his study. Shi Datuo's face was solemn, and he nodded frequently, showing that he was listening very seriously.

"Okay, can you write down everything you just explained?"

Shi Datuo replied in a proper manner: "I have a solid memory, and my lord puts one hundred and twenty hearts!" ”

"How about giving you three days?" Seven days later, the New Year will be over, and he wants to end the matter before the New Year, and then go back to Datong Mansion for the New Year, and then officially take office after the New Year. When I thought that I would have the opportunity to do a disservice to the local community when I first took office, I felt a little proud in my heart.

Shi Datuo smiled.

"Adults just wait for the good news of the villain!"

Zeng dared to wave his hand in satisfaction, signaling that Shi Datuo could go out. Shi Datuo went out of the Weisi Yamen and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and while the city gate was not closed, he ran out of the city with a smoke and went straight to the left thousand households in the west.

Five miles north of the city, by the Yan River, Li Xin spent a day looking at the terrain around Zhenyuwei, and he already had a rough idea in his heart. The emperor sent him to Zhenlu, Gaoshan, Yang and Sanwei by no means to let him enjoy the blessings, this place seems to be deserted and dilapidated, in fact, it is one of the important transportation hubs of Datong Mansion to the Desert North Pole, not only the Tartars will go here, even the merchants who continue to go out of the customs also have to pass through here.

Although the end of the year was approaching, and there were days of heavy snowfall, and the roads were almost cut off, Li Xin still saw several caravans coming along the Yan River and heading north. After being introduced by a local guide, they will pass through Wayaokou Fort and exit the border wall at Xin'anbao and go straight into the Mongolian steppe.
