(This chapter is yesterday's third chapter, and it will be updated today as usual.) ）

Zeng dared to be very dissatisfied with Li Xin's handling method, in his opinion, Gu Tong's clever robbery must be a sure thing, and the military household besieging the city, he must have been behind it, why bother to investigate the evidence, and cut it directly, wouldn't it be even more neat? It not only set an example for the chickens and monkeys, but also won the hearts of the people by recovering land for the military households.

Li Xin was unimpressed, and although this method seemed immediate, the consequences were unpredictable. Although this Gu Tong was arrogant and arrogant, instigating the soldiers to besiege the Acropolis, but that Qian Tai may not necessarily have a public heart, it is obvious that the open and secret struggle between the two people reached a fever pitch when he arrived.

However, there is one point that still makes Li Xin puzzled.

Although Qian Tai is the highest-ranking left-behind official in the Wei Si Yamen, in fact, the power in his hands is extremely limited, and it can be seen that he only rushes to the low and dilapidated Wei Si Yamen, and there is not even a single miscellaneous servant. On the other hand, Na Gu Tong, just as he complained, he was not only a native of the hereditary thousand households, but also his left thousand households were the only complete thousand households in the huge town guard. After the death of many powerful officials from top to bottom in the Weisi Yamen, he, a small thousand households, faintly became the most powerful faction in the town guards. Not to mention that turning hands into clouds and covering hands for rain, it is also eight or nine and ten.

In contrast, Qian Tai and Gu Tong are not on the same order of magnitude at all, and they can even be said to be very different. In this case, Qian Tai still dared to provoke Gu Tong to confront him, which can only show two points, either he is a tendon and will work to the end regardless of the consequences. Or, there is an unknown force behind him that supports him.

When Li Xin first arrived, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the various local departments, so he made a gun for others. To be honest, Gu Tong's arrogance can be felt all the time after entering the city. As the chief soldier of the three guards, he is nominally the supreme military commander of the three guards, but few of these people in the acropolis from top to bottom are afraid of his own dignified three-rank general soldiers. On the contrary, wherever Gu Tong passed, no matter who he was, he was trembling, and he was in awe of him, for fear that one would accidentally offend this Lord of a Thousand Households.

When Gu Tong did not have a direct conflict with himself, was it reckless to kill him rashly? Li Xin even doubted that he had ulterior motives when he dared to intervene in the struggle between Qian and Gu so radically.

Of course, it is not excluded that Zeng dared to relapse into his temper and punish Gu Tong, an arrogant bully who harms one side without considering any consequences. But judging from Zeng Dare's appearance after this reunion, this possibility is very small. Obviously, the jealous and hateful teenager has gone farther and farther.

Gu Tong took the lead in confessing and leaving, Shi Datuo felt weak in his heart, and wanted to follow, but was dragged back by Qian Tai's clothes, so shocked that he didn't stand firm and sat on the ground. Immediately afterwards, Chen Si and the others also left, and Qian Tai, as a left-behind official of the Weisi Yamen, was about to reluctantly go to the city to find a decent place to live for him, but was stopped by Li Xin.

On the same day, Li Xin took people to stay in the Acropolis, and this dilapidated temporary guard yamen became the general army yamen again. Lu Jiu led 100 subordinates to clean up the abandoned houses around them and use them for everyone to live in. What is surprising is that Zeng Dang even stayed, and did not rush to Datong Mansion to take up his post.

Li Xin did not directly target Gu Tong, which did not mean that he tolerated and connived at his forcible seizure, and after settling down, he immediately recruited Qian Tai and Shi Datuo.

"Both of them are old officials of the Wei Si Yamen, let's talk about it, what is the specific situation of Chen Si and the others!"

Qian Tai and Shi Datuo did know everything about Chen Si's situation, but Shi Datuo was Gu Tong's lackey, how could he tell the truth? It's to bow your head and only do yourself and don't know. That Qian Tai is different, since he has already torn his face with Gu Tong, he has no scruples, why not use the hands of the general army to get rid of his mortal enemy!

As a result, Qian Tai told Chen Si and other military households about the loss of land, and told them all as they were.

After listening to Qian Tai's speech, Li Xin knew that Gu Tong was arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant. This kind of blatant robbery is tantamount to forcing people to death, showing that the sun and the moon can be seen, and the great tomorrow is reversed in black and white to such a point?

"Shi Limu, Shi Limu ......"

It wasn't until Li Xin called Shi Datuo for the third time that he reacted, he was calling him, and he was sweating profusely.

"Huh? What does an adult call a villain? ”

"Is there anything else Shi Limu can add?"

"No, no. What the Governor said is true! Gu Tong, the crime is extremely evil, damn it, damn it"

Qian Tai's eyes widened, and he said solemnly: "What you said should be recorded in the record, and you will confront that Gu Tong in the future!" ”

"Huh?" Shi Datuo was dumbfounded.

Li Xin smiled in surprise, this product seems to be Gu Tong's person, but it is still a product with a rat's head and two ends. Under Qian Tai's introduction, he found that the facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive, but there was a difficulty, that is, when the Tartars entered the Kou, they burned the military household books in the Weisi Yamen. Therefore, there are no official records to prove that Chen Si and others have been cultivating fields on that land for generations.

Or Qian Tai came up with an idea, he could ask the old and virtuous old military family to testify and vouch. Li Xin thought that in the social structure of the Ming Dynasty, the old people in the township with high moral standing could supplement the township where the credibility of the government was difficult to reach. Therefore, please ask the old man to come forward as a guarantee, as long as the matter is true, no one will want to overturn the case!

Just do it, Li Xin immediately asked Qian Tai to look for the elderly who meet the requirements, because the people of the thousands of households were almost lost, and there were even fewer people who could know Chen Si and the others, and they were still alive. In the end, more than a dozen old military households from the right thousand households were found, and the old people trembled and signed the guarantee one by one, and the matter was decided.

……

Zhenyu Weixi, Zuo Qianhu, Shi Datuo was full of emotion, and reported Li Xin's every move to Gu Tong.

"Brother-in-law, the general soldier of that Laoshzi is too deceitful, do we have to give him a look?" Gu Tong scolded with his head: "Is there in your head again?" The good guy surnamed Li is also a general soldier of the third grade, your brother-in-law and I are just a small thousand households, what can I give to others to get off the horse and fight the past? This can only be outwitted, not rushed! Wait, after a long time, he will know what we do! ”

"What my brother-in-law said, what I said ......" Shi Datuo said again: "There is another thing, for, in order to gain their trust, I, I said a lot of bad things about my brother-in-law......"

Gu Tong didn't care at all.

"Just say it, as long as you don't do that thing outside the mouth!" Then a pair of eyes stared at Shi Datuo playfully, and he was so shocked that he was sweating again!

"What about the land of the right thousand households? Just watch them take it back? ”

"Let me say how many times you can grow, people who do great things should look farther, not just stare at the little thing in front of you!"

In fact, Gu Tong's plot to seize the land of the right thousand households is not entirely for the land, he is more interested in the household registration of the military households behind each piece of land, with this thing, he can justifiably expand his strength accordingly.

Gu Tong knew in his heart that Li Xin had saved face for him, and although the land was taken back, he didn't mention anything about him. He saw that Shi Datuo had almost explained everything, so he waved his hand impatiently, signaling that he could go.

Shi Datuo was just about to withdraw, but Gu Tong explained again.

"If there is any action over there, you have to report it to me as soon as possible!"

Shi Datuo retreated in agreement.

……

Li Xin didn't want to touch that Gu Tong for the time being, but he was anxious to do one thing, that is, to sort out the number of military households of Zhenyuwei, Gaoshanwei, Yanghe, and Sanwei, which were the foundation of his Sanwei general army. After a few days of familiarization, he knew all the basic conditions of the three guards. Among the three guards, only the Zhenyu Guard is the most dilapidated, and Gao Shan, Yang and the two guards are much better.

That's enough, if the three guards are all the virtues of Zhenyuwei, Li Xin really doesn't know what to do? Otherwise, all the military households will die, and those who flee will flee, what will he use to recruit soldiers, and what will he use to carry out construction?

So he immediately sent a letter in the name of the General Military Office of the Three Guards, urging the commanders of Gao Shan, Yang and the two guards to come to the town to discuss with the guards. At the same time, he asked General Qian Tai to sort out the idea of the military household and see what he had to do.

Although Qian Tai's first impression of Li Xin was not very good, after a few days of hard work, although this person was not likable, he was still very serious in doing things, and his impression changed greatly. Who let him lack talent in his entrainment, before this thing showed the fox's tail, he had to use it first.

Li Xin has been secretly paying attention to Qian Taiping's contacts, and found that basically except for the soap subordinates of the Wei Si Yamen, they are military households, and there are not no officials of the capital who come to Zhenwei to capture them, but he has never come into contact with them.

Qian Tai thought for a while, saw Li Xin's resolute attitude, shook his head, and then nodded again: "Sorting out the military household is too wide-ranging, and it is not easy to do, so let's try it first!" The household registration policy of the Weisi Yamen was all destroyed, and four of the five thousand households in the town were actually extinct, and the next 100 households were also fragmented, and several hundred households were either dead or fled to take advantage of the chaos, and basically they were no longer under the control of the Weisi Yamen. Now I can only ask the old military family to help as I did last time......"

It seems that this can only be the case, Li Xin was not familiar with the situation of the town guards when he first arrived, thanks to Qian Tai, a subordinate official who was not only familiar with the local situation, but also could do things seriously. With the support of Li Xin, Qian Tai has carried out several tasks very smoothly, and he seems to have found his value again.

However, problems soon arose, and the soap subordinates who had been sent out to contact the old military households returned one by one, and almost all of them were very resistant to the action and work of sorting out the actual number of existing military households. After some inquiry, he found that almost overnight, rumors spread throughout the town's guards.
