Wu Dingguo's various worries, Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and said softly, "What the Metropolitan Governor said may indeed cause internal turmoil, especially in the case of the loss of 100,000 stone grain and grass, in the self-examination, it is very likely that something will happen."

"These envoys understand, but if the envoy says that the 100,000 grains and grass lost before were deliberately done by the envoy, is the governor credible?"

Wu Dingguo was stunned, he looked at Su Qi'an beside him in a daze again, if Fan Chong faked his death and concealed it, in the case of some evidence, let him basically believe it.

But the burning of 100,000 stones of grain and grass was a deliberate game made by Su Qi'an, even he could hardly believe it.

100,000 stone grain and grass, for anyone to dare to have such courage, say burn it? Regardless of the purpose, this is a serious violation of the law, and according to the law, it should be beheaded.

It is impossible for Su Qi'an not to understand this truth, but why did he say this! Wu Dingguo was puzzled.

Wu Dingguo's thoughts, Su Qi'an naturally saw it, and he hurriedly said.

"Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor is too worried, even if the envoy is rich, it is impossible to let 100,000 stone grain and grass burn, this 100,000 stone grain and grass is just a bait."

"The envoy did prepare 100,000 stone of grain and grass at the beginning, but what can be sent to the front line to be handed over to you is actually only 10,000 stones, and the rest is just some miscellaneous materials."

Hearing this, Wu Dingguo was obviously taken aback, but it was still impossible for him to believe it completely.

The grain and grass handed over to them at the beginning, he had seen it with his own eyes, if it was really fake, how could it be possible to pass the test under his nose.

Knowing that Wu Dingguo didn't believe it in his heart, Su Qi'an slapped his palm twice, and after a while, two people walked in outside the door, Tong Zhan and Fang Jingzhi.

Wu Dingguo knew both of these two, and the person in charge of escorting the grain and grass that day was this guard named Tong Zhan, and Fang Jingzhi was also very familiar with him.

After all, he served as a county commander in Jianghe County on the front line for a period of time, and his management of Jianghe County was not bad, if it weren't for the expiration of his tenure and his transfer to the rear, Wu Dingguo would really be reluctant to let Fang Jingzhi go back.

The appearance of the two made Wu Dingguo's eyes flash, and before he could speak, Su Qi'an's voice sounded.

"Talk to the Governor."

Tong Zhan and Fang Jingzhi nodded, and then Tong Zhan opened his mouth first, "At that time, the inventory was indeed in charge of the Grand Governor, but the inventory work could not bother the Grand Governor, and the grain clearing officers who sent more than thirty or forty people were these people, as long as we did it well in advance, I think even if we found out something, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"In addition, in order to keep it secret, it is not advisable to stay for a long time during the counting, and it is basically a quick decision, and after the counting, the so-called 100,000 stone grain and grass passed the inventory as quickly as possible, and then sent to the hidden granary."

In fact, after hearing half of it, Wu Dingguo basically knew in his heart that no matter where he was, when performing official duties, he would always be unable to escape some bribes.

Basically, these bribes will not hinder too much, and the silver sent should not be in vain, although Wu Dingguo had already issued a ban on accepting bribes in the nine counties on the front line, and any official was prohibited from accepting bribes, but this matter could not be avoided.

Over time, as long as this matter is not a big problem, or it is not found out, Wu Dingguo will turn a blind eye.

Especially the censorship by him himself, no matter who it is, it should not be bold enough, playing tricks in front of him, it is precisely because of this psychology that these grain officials accept money, and they have no burden at all.

It was precisely because Su Qi'an grasped the psychology of these people that he was able to let Tong Zhan cheat openly and honestly, so that his plan could be successfully implemented.

Wu Dingguo's eyes flashed, and he didn't say a word, if it was in normal times, if he found out about this matter, these grain cleaning officials would definitely be imprisoned on the charge of deception.

Wu Dingguo will never tolerate this kind of deception and accepting bribes, but it is this disgusting thing that he looks down on and accepts bribes that actually saved his life this time with good luck.

In fact, the request for 100,000 stone grain and grass to be prepared in the rear was mostly a counterattack by Wu Dingguo against Su Qi'an.

His lieutenant was beheaded in front of him, and this inspector did not leave any mercy, even if it was Wu Dingguo

There is also a lot of anger in my heart.

After returning to the front line, taking advantage of the outbreak of war, he wanted to teach Su Qi'an a lesson, but he didn't expect Su Qi'an to complete the preparation in such a short time in a month.

When the time comes, summon Su Qi'an again, give him a dismount first, reprimand, and the matter will basically pass.

But Su Qi'an was forced to raise 100,000 stones of grain and grass in the last few days, which really shocked Wu Dingguo.

Originally, I heard that Su Qi'an spent a month, most of them were touring the mountains and rivers, whether it was food preparation or the disposal of local officials, he didn't care about it, and Wu Dingguo was very angry.

In his opinion, this Su Qi'an is no different from those Kyoto gentlemen, who only know pleasure and don't understand the suffering of the people.

But later I learned that these amusements were just a trick by Su Qi'an, and in the last few days, the nine counties in Dongzhou were turned upside down.

dismissed the eight county guards in one go, and extorted a sum of money from the local family magnates, and this is how the grain and grass of 100,000 stones came from.

Wu Dingguo knows too well how many powerful people of these families are, and wanting to get 100,000 stones of grain and grass from them is tantamount to letting these people bleed.

Knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Wu Dingguo was very happy, and the anger in his heart for this unseen inspector was somewhat dissipated.

With this 100,000 stone of grain and grass, Wu Dingguo was more confident in exterminating the pirates and pirates, but who knows, before he could act, the batch of grain and grass that had just been sent to the hidden granary was attacked and burned clean.

Wu Dingguo felt very guilty about this matter, thinking about how to explain it to Su Qi'an, but in the end, after knowing that this was another game, especially the bribery he hated the most, the matter of bullying and concealing his superiors and subordinates, and the crooked beating was counted as saving his life.

After some digestion, Wu Dingguo raised his head, looked at Fang Jingzhi on the side, and then said.

"If the 100,000 grains and grass of the Overseer are a plan, then the real grain and grass should be arranged by you."

Fang Jingzhi arched his hand, nodded and said, "The Metropolitan Governor guessed right, the real grain and grass has been arranged by the lower officials in Jianghe County, when Tong Zhan and the caravan set off, the lower officials have already written a letter to the Jianghe County Order, asking him to respond at any time, informing him that this matter is very important, and it is the order of the Supervision Envoy, if it is leaked, everyone will be immediately killed."

"No wonder, this can be explained, Jianghe County? That's a good place, even if it's the governor of Pontus, I'm afraid it's hard to think that the grain and grass will be in Jianghe County."

"It's worthy of being an inspector, it's really a step by step, and the chess is high, but there is one thing that the old man is a little puzzled about."

"Since there is not much loss of grain and grass, why did the inspector come this time and escort 50,000 grains and grass, although the front-line battle, the more grain and grass, the better, but this is still a lot of pressure on the rear."

"Or is it that these 50,000 stone grains and grass are fake, just a bait made by the overseer?"

Su Qi'an shook his head and said, "No, these 50,000 stones of grain and grass are all real, more precisely, they come from the 100,000 stones prepared before, in the war, the grain and grass are the most important thing, if they are all piled up together and are wiped out, then it will be a real loss."

Hearing this, Wu Dingguo showed a sudden look, looked at Su Qi'an's gaze, and admired it a little.

This step-by-step arrangement is not only bold and adventurous, but also has some caution, which is a qualified commanding general.

If you should be aggressive, you will be cautious, and you will never be controlled by emotions, and everything will change according to the situation on the battlefield.

After Wu Dingguo admired Su Qi'an's layout, he also thought of something.

The 100,000 stone grains and grass escorted in batches, plus the bait that Tong Zhan was responsible for transporting before the war, there must be at least 10,000 people and horses escorted.

As we all know, the 20,000 troops of Dongshan and Split Mountain under Su Qi'an and Xie Cang have not left Su Qi'an for half a step from beginning to end.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but their every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes, so wherever Su Qi'an goes, they have to follow him.

Without the transportation of these two armies, Su Qi'an wanted to mobilize so many people and horses in Dongzhou without being noticed, unless...

Wu Dingguo raised his head violently, with a little bit of eating

stared at Su Qi'an with a shocked expression.

Su Qi'an smiled at Wu Dingguo and said, "Hehe, the envoy likes to talk to smart people, he doesn't need to point out, he can draw inferences and guess other things, it seems that the governor is not old yet."

"Since the Metropolitan Governor knows, I also ask the Metropolitan Governor to temporarily conceal it for the envoy, if this is spread, the envoy will be dizzy in the rear and punish the state officials, but it will be exposed."

Wu Dingguo nodded subconsciously, came back to his senses and said again and again, "The old man understands, understands."

But the shock in the eyes is self-evident.

You must know that in Dongzhou, if you want that person to do things for yourself wholeheartedly, even Zhou Zibin can't do it.

After all, with that person's wealth or status, he lacks nothing and has what he wants.

But this inspector has been in Dongzhou for less than a month, and he can make that person obey, which is definitely not only about saving his son.

This overseer must have given that person a promise that he couldn't refuse, otherwise, with that person's strength, how could he take the initiative to flow into the pool of water in Dongzhou.

After thinking about it, with the addition of this person, and with the addition of this wise demon inspector, this Dongzhou may really turn over one day.

Wu Dingguo's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation, as if because of Su Qi'an's arrival, he had more confidence in his heart.

He got up and clenched his fists and said to Su Qi'an, "Before, the old man was narrow-minded and misunderstood the inspector, from today onwards, the inspector asked the old man to do something, and the old man will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses."

Seeing Wu Dingguo like this, Su Qi'an hurriedly supported him, "What is the Metropolitan Governor doing, please hurry up, you can torment the younger generation, whether it is seniority or prestige, the Metropolitan Governor is a person who makes the envoy respect."

"It's good to say something, it doesn't have to be like this, there are still many things to trouble the Metropolitan Governor."
