Chapter 426: We have to do whatever it takes
Jing Xinghuai looked at the many unkind eyes around him, and knew that this sailor was also a group of restless.
If it is not handled well, it is easy to attract mutiny.
"There is no military discipline, and he despises the superior, so he is detained first."
He snorted softly, and the two Yu brothers stepped out left and right, pressing their arms.
This big man also has military force, but he has long been hollowed out by wine, and his strength is far inferior to that of his brothers, so he was immediately held down.
"The court really wants to come down to ask for the guilt, you ......"
"Palm!"
Jing Xinghuai immediately gave an order, and Yu Guanhai slapped down, and the big man's teeth were shaken off, and his mouth was tilted to the side, unable to speak anymore.
The pro-soldiers around the big man were about to make a move, but in a blink of an eye, they were suppressed by the people of the Suppression Division.
Seeing this situation, Jing Xinghuai's heart sank, although he had known that the local soldiers had always been bold and reckless, but now that the authority of the imperial court was still there, he should never be so contemptuous of Qincha.
He glanced left and right, and found that all the soldiers had changed their faces, and their eyes showed fierce light, as if they had the intention of mutiny.
"Help me spread the word: the bandit sailors have commanded the greedy army to pay more than 100,000 people, and now the incident has happened, and the emperor ordered me to come to find out his crimes. When his family property is confiscated, the general's salary and you will be paid in full. ”
"If you help to identify his associates, you will be paid double or even three times."
Jing Xinghuai spoke to Xu Chengqing on the side, Xu Chengqing immediately nodded, his anger sank, and his voice rolled out.
And as Xu Chengqing's voice spread everywhere, the sound of those drums quieted down.
Jing Xinghuai must have known in his heart that this move was right.
He didn't know how much this person was greedy for ink, and he didn't even know the name of the water master. But with what he knew about these local officers, there was no one who didn't drink the blood of soldiers.
In particular, if this kind of improvised anti-bandit unit disperses when the matter is over, then these officers will definitely seize the opportunity to make a big profit.
"First take him down, and dismantle his tent for me, and I will sit here. If you have any grievances, come to me. ”
"I hold the sword of the Son of Heaven today, and I have received the order of the Son of Heaven, so I will make a special trip to make decisions with you."
Jing Xinghuai raised the dragon pattern sword in his hand, and Xu Chengqing sent his voice out at the right time.
"You obviously came to ask for the crime because I waited for the defeat of the bandits, so don't be deceived by him. It's better to ...... now."
In the midst of the crowd, a voice suddenly clamoured.
"Whoosh."
A stone went straight through his eye socket, killing him in the blink of an eye.
On the side, Yu Jinjiang moved his wrist slightly, as if he was doing something insignificant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all local sailors, even if the battle is lost, the imperial court is only responsible for the head, how can you punish ordinary soldiers."
"Those who are clamoring for others now must be those who have ghosts in their hearts and plot to rebel!"
Jing Xinghuai hit him with a succession, and immediately let the people who were about to move stabilize again.
After a short time, the personal soldiers of the Zhenfu Division demolished the tent, revealing the landscape inside. Several disheveled warblers and warblers ran out screaming, feasting the eyes of the soldiers and horses gathered nearby.
"Smoke miasma."
Jing Xinghuai frowned, and after everything else in the camp was cleared, he sat in front of the main case, sitting upright.
"One stick of incense for a limited time, all deputy commanders, military officers, servants and other officials of six grades and above, all come to visit."
"After a while, he will be punished for the crime of rebellion, and he will not be punished for killing."
He slapped the Son of Heaven sword on the table and looked around with a heavy gaze.
Although he is just a literati, at this moment, he is so imposing that people dare not look at him.
In a short time, dozens of people came to pay their respects.
"The sword of the Son of Heaven is here, if the emperor is here, why don't you kneel?"
Because the big tent was demolished, Jing Xinghuai had people light fires everywhere, shining this place brightly, and the officers and soldiers could see the situation here clearly.
Under the light of the lamp, the dark golden dragon pattern on the sword shone brightly.
After glancing at each other, the officers finally knelt down one by one. Now that the situation is unclear, the bosses above them have been arrested, and coupled with the previous murder and Liwei, they are so angry that they dare not be the first bird.
Seeing that the superiors were all kneeling, the others also knelt on the ground.
After all, the Daqian Dynasty ruled for 500 years, and for ordinary people, the Son of Heaven is a god-like existence.
"If you delay the fighter plane, you will cause the water bandits to be in trouble, and you should be killed according to the law."
"However, the Son of Heaven is a good child, except for the chief official, no one else will be held accountable."
Jing Xinghuai held the Son of Heaven Sword high and continued to speak.
Seeing this, everyone was completely relieved, the sword of the Son of Heaven was there, which was equivalent to the promise of the Son of Heaven that there would be no fake.
"Guy, take a step forward."
Jing Xinghuai suddenly pointed to a thin sergeant in the crowd and spoke.
The soldier was too cowardly to step forward.
Jing Xinghuai didn't care, and asked directly: "How much money do you have every month now?" ”
"Enlightenment...... The villain is paid 500 yuan a month and two and a half dollars a month. ”
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"Smack."
Jing Xinghuai slapped his palm on the table, and the sound startled the others, and the soldier hurriedly fell to his knees.
"According to the military system of the Great Cadres, during the war, two taels of silver and one stone of grain are given in the same month, and if the amount is insufficient, it will be deducted with salt cloth."
"This guy has been exploited so far, it's really a bastard."
Jing Xinghuai scolded.
And a group of soldiers looked at each other, and it was common for the soldiers at the bottom to be exploited, and even, because of the lack of communication between the upper and lower levels, many people did not know how much money the imperial court should give.
In this way, it gives the opportunity for all layers to exploit.
And those officers who fell to their knees broke out in a cold sweat on their backs, because they were also extorting military salaries together.
If not, how can you support your family?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have ascertained that all the silver money of the emperor and you have been swallowed up by this person and the locality, from tomorrow, you and others will follow me into Qingzhou, and I should ask you for the missing military salary, far from it, at least make up for one year."
The mathematics of the people present was naturally not good, but they could probably calculate that if they could make up the silver money, then each of them would probably get about 20 taels of silver and 100 stones of grain.
For the soldiers at the bottom, this is undoubtedly a huge amount.
"Okay, everyone go down and rest quickly, and tomorrow morning, you will set off with me."
Jing Xinghuai threatened him, lured him with profit, and in the blink of an eye, he subdued people's hearts.
Qiu Ping watched it from the side, and secretly admired it in his heart.
When he first took office as Bashui Hebo, he also faced the situation of disobedience from the people below, but he could only rely on boiling eagles and fighting to the death with everyone.
If it weren't for the authority of Shinto, which has a great suppression of the subordinates, I am afraid that the people below would have turned the world upside down.
……
After resting for one night, Jing Xinghuai reorganized the team, organized more than 10,000 officers and soldiers into two hundred flags, and ordered the guards of the Zhenfu Division to receive a flag each.
The reason why he was provoked by the big man as soon as he came here was probably the ghost of those Caoyun opposition forces.
They also guessed that they might come to mobilize a large army, and spread rumors here in advance that the emperor was coming to hold him responsible.
That's why these people are so hostile to themselves.
He couldn't trust all these old officers, who knew what was in them.
If you secretly encourage again, I don't know how much trouble you will get into yourself.
He didn't have time to talk to these people, and his focus was still on finding out Caoyun.
However, he led a large army to suppress it, and even if the local collusion, he had enough confidence to suppress it.
After a few groups of forces were destroyed, they would use the confiscated silver taels to make up for the salaries of these soldiers, but it was an easy matter.
Human instinct will conform to the herd, and after reorganizing the team, there are many fewer constraints, and the appearance of the entire water division has a sense of refreshment.
But Jing Xinghuai knew that this was just an illusion.
He gave them a hope, and naturally their morale was high, but once they were frustrated or did not return for a long time, these people would immediately bite back on themselves.
He has no choice now, he can only follow the power, the risk, and the emergency!
Dozens of large ships sailed mightily across the water and went straight to the Governor of Qingzhou's Caoyun Department.
Jing Xinghuai led the army to arrive, obviously caught everyone off guard, they originally thought it was on the way.
But it was clear that he still underestimated the courage of this group of people.
When his army arrived, he found that the accounts and treasury of the past years had already been burned clean.
If you want to check the accounts, you need to re-aggregate the accounts from various banks, but this is extremely time-consuming.
What's more, since they dare to burn the accounts, it means that they also dare to burn the local account books.
Jing Xinghuai was so angry that he almost didn't use a sword to cut these people.
These people have become so arrogant.
"My lord, what should we do?"
Jing Xinghuai frowned, and Xu Chengqing also felt anxious in his heart, but he could only stand still for now, waiting to peel off the cocoon.
"If you want me to say, you're too pedantic."
Qiu Ping sat on the desk next to him, eating a fairy peach in his mouth, and his mouth was full of juice.
He finished it and threw away the peach pit.
"Please also ask the gods for advice."
Jing Xinghuai was thinking about contacting the teacher to see what other archives were available, and when he heard Qiu Ping say this, he hurriedly stood up.
"What is the purpose of your visit?"
"Rectify the fortunes."
Jing Xinghuai said respectfully.
"Wrong, it's to kill people, raid homes, and exterminate the clan!"
Qiu Ping shook his head, although Jing Xinghuai is good at officialdom struggle, he has a shortcoming, that is, he is too disciplined.
But the problem is that these people don't tell him the rules.
"When you collect accounts, you find evidence of guilt, and then you kill people, raid your home, and exterminate your family. But if you find some other incriminating evidence, can't you kill people and raid your home? ”
"As long as you dig them up from the roots, it doesn't matter what means you use."
Qiu Ping has always only focused on the result and does not care about the process.
Hearing this, Jing Xinghuai's eyes lit up slightly, as Qiu Ping said, this is indeed a way.
But when it comes to it, it's actually taboo.
He was ordered by the Son of Heaven to rectify the Cao Yun, so he should start with the Cao Yun, and if he rashly got involved in other aspects, the scope of the struggle might be further expanded.
Moreover, it is likely that this will leave a handle for the imperial envoy to say that he has used the imperial order to do mischief in the local area.
Although the emperor trusts him, there is no emotion in the first place for such a thing as imperial power.
In case the emperor has a taboo, he is afraid that the future will not be easy.
"Don't think about it, I'll cover you, if the emperor is unfair to you, you will give up this broken official and serve in my Bashui."
Qiu Ping slapped his chest with a crackle.
However, he added another sentence in his heart, "If you want to become an official in Shinto, you must die once first." ”
There are almost no human beings in Shinto, not even those who cultivate immortals, and human beings are all ghosts and gods.
Hearing Qiu Ping's assurance, Jing Xinghuai also nodded.
He was not promised by Qiu Ping, he was not afraid of death, and he was not greedy for power. However, if the intricate relationships in this place are not all severed, it will greatly hinder the tax revenue of the imperial court.
At that time, the imperial court will not be able to collect the money, so it can only raise taxes elsewhere, and when the people can no longer bear it, it will be the time when the world is full of flames and chaos.
On the contrary, once the fortune is sorted out, the state will immediately increase the amount of silver by more than 10 million taels every year, and the treasury will be immediately full.
"Since this is the case, then the official will go out and investigate the problems in Qingzhou."
A hint of determination flashed in Jing Xinghuai's eyes.
"Hahaha, that's right, life is to make a lively and noisy scene, and clean up all the injustices in the world."
"I can also help you, I'm familiar with this Qingzhou, when the time comes, I'll let all the wandering gods help you investigate the case together, open your field of vision, and let none of them run."
Qiu Ping came to the territory he was familiar with, and he took care of everything.
"Thank you, God."
Although Jing Xinghuai didn't quite understand what Qiu Ping was talking about, if he could rely on the help of the gods, he would definitely be much easier.
After saying a few more words, they went down and prepared themselves.
Jing Xinghuai holds the sword of the Son of Heaven, although he came down to preside over the luck, but the Son of Heaven also promised him to act cheaply, if he really started from elsewhere, it is not unreasonable.
And Qiu Ping shook his body and headed towards the yamen of Haiping Mansion.
Haiping Province is located in the north of Qingzhou, far away from Tai'an Province, and can even be said to be one south and one north.
Qiu Ping has nothing to do with this at all, he just said that the base camp is all nonsense.
However, it doesn't matter, it can create relationships.
He is a positive fifth grade, and his grade is half a level higher than that of the Fuchenghuang in Tai'an Mansion.
Because under normal circumstances, Tai'an Mansion is the capital of Qingzhou, and the city god of the mansion is the five products, but the city god of the ordinary county government is only from the five products.
Moreover, Qiu Ping's own strength is an immortal, so it's no problem to find someone to help a little.
As long as he doesn't say that he is helping the human dynasty investigate the case.
His figure flashed, and he came to the temple of the Fucheng God.
The orb flew out of his top and in an instant turned into an official robe, enveloping it.
The power representing his authority and divine position overflowed, and immediately alarmed the city god in the temple.
"Where are the gods?"
In an instant, in the underworld invisible to human beings, a heavy black mist spread, and a yin city full of glory loomed in the black mist.
