Seeing Tan Lun's strategy of suppressing bandits, those officials who had sworn before instantly panicked, knelt on the ground in unison, and comforted.

"Your Excellency, no! At present, Fujian has just experienced the Japanese Rebellion, and the government no longer has much silver. ”

"That's right, Lord Governor, you came from Zhejiang before, you may not know much about our situation here, our guard here, the combat effectiveness is really worrying!"

"yes, otherwise, we wouldn't have fallen so quickly last time."

Seeing that his subordinates were complaining, Tan Lun's brows also furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "This official doesn't believe it, the soldiers of the guard station, the combat effectiveness is so low that they can't even suppress the bandits?" ”

"Lord Governor, don't you know, these soldiers are free and loose, and military discipline is corrupt! Before the war began, they dispersed in a hurry, for fear of having two legs less than others, and they were not so much the army of the imperial court as a group of ruffians and hooligans. ”

"No, not even a ruffian."

After listening patiently to the complaints of his subordinates, Tan Lun suddenly realized that he had always fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, he equated the local health center in Fujian with the health center in Zhejiang by default.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not at the same level at all.

"Well, in that case, let's take the official to the guard house first."

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he immediately ordered his subordinates to go to the nearby guard station to check the situation.

"Yes, Governor!"

Seeing Tan Lun speak, those subordinates didn't dare to stop him, so they had to nod their heads.

……

Soon, Tan Lun took a large number of officials and guards to a nearby guard station.

Before he could enter, he heard a commotion from inside the camp.

I saw countless soldiers in three layers and three layers outside, gathered around a table, their faces were full of fanaticism, and the table was full of broken silver and treasure money, a gray-haired old soldier, skillfully shook the bamboo tube in his hand, and then 'snapped' it upside down on the table, and said loudly.

"Everyone, buy it and leave it, buy big or buy small? This is the last game of the day! ”

The old soldier's words completely ignited the enthusiasm of the scene, and countless soldiers flocked to it, taking out some broken silver from their arms and throwing it on the table.

"Grandpa, I'm all pressed, I don't believe I have such a back today, buy big!"

A soldier scolded and took out all the broken silver on his body, and then slammed it on the table.

His move also attracted other soldiers, and everyone followed the man to place bets.

"Okay, everyone's eyes wide open, open!"

After the old man finished speaking, he took the bamboo tube away, revealing the dice in it.

"Haha, it's small! I'm sorry everybody. ”

Seeing this, the old man smiled so much that the corners of his mouth were about to crack, and gathered the broken silver and treasure money on the table in front of him.

"What are you doing here?"

Tan Lun couldn't stand it anymore, and then walked in with a group of officials and said coldly.

"Big ...... My lord, I'm just entertaining, relaxing, relaxing. ”

When those soldiers saw the official uniform Tan Lun was wearing, they knew that it was not small, so after sorting out their appearance, they immediately knelt on the ground and explained with a smile.

"What about your chief? Call the officer, and the officer will ask him in person! ”

Tan Lun didn't mean to embarrass these soldiers, but asked them to call out the chief of the guard here.

"Big ...... Your Excellency, you don't know, our commander is not in the barracks at the moment. ”

The old man from before saw Tan Lun's question, and replied with a look of embarrassment.

"Oh, where is he?"

Seeing this, Tan Lun couldn't help but be interested, and then raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Report to my lord, the chief of our guard has a mansion in the city, and has a few concubines, he usually spends the night there, and sometimes he only comes over once in ten days and half a month."

The old soldier secretly observed the expression on Tan Lun's face, he knew that if he didn't answer this question, the end would be miserable, and in the end he gritted his teeth and chose to give everything up.

"This official doesn't care so much, if the official can't see him here within half an hour, then all the consequences will be borne by himself."

Tan Lun said that, and swept his gaze from the faces of everyone on the scene one by one, and those who were swept by Tan Lun lowered their heads quite weakly.

"This official is Tan Lun, the new governor of Fujian, and he will send an order to gather all the soldiers of the guard!"

"Yes, Governor!"

Seeing Tan Lun report his identity, all the soldiers present had shocked expressions on their faces, this is a dignified feudal official and an official of the imperial court! Why did you suddenly come to the health center to inspect it?

With such doubts, many soldiers at the scene immediately dispersed in a hurry, began to report the matter to their superiors, and conveyed Tan Lun's request.

"What, the Governor is here?"

"What are you doing? Go beat the drums and gather the troops! ”

"Quick, where's my shoes? Who wore my shoes away? ”

"Ouch, who stepped on me!"

After a period of confusion, before the three-way drum sounded, the soldiers in the guard finally gathered.

Tan Lun looked at the soldiers gathered in the audience, lined up with dogs, and chaotic, and couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment on his face, and at the same time, the anger in his heart was rising.

"Damn, how did the soldiers in the guard become like this!"

After a long time, Tan Lun still slowly spoke: "This official is Tan Lun, the new governor of Fujian, maybe most of you don't know this official yet, but soon, you will know each other." ”

After Tan Lun said this, he stopped talking, but chose to sit down on the seat next to him, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, looking as if he was waiting for someone.

After Tan Lun finished saying this, the entire school fell into a deathly silence, and the soldiers present were shocked by Tan Lun's identity! At the same time, they also knew very well in their hearts that if the governor made up his mind to pursue the crimes they had committed, no one would be able to escape!

Time passed slowly, and on the school field, the uneasiness in the hearts of the soldiers had reached its peak! They couldn't figure out why the Governor had chosen to leave them here like this, and the soldiers who knew the inside story were even more uneasy.

"This governor is going to use people to establish his authority!"

"The lower official Cao Cheng has seen the governor, and the lower official doesn't know that the governor is coming, and he has missed the welcome, so please forgive the governor!"

I don't know how long it took, after receiving the report from his subordinates, Cao Cheng, the chief of the guard here, finally rushed to the scene out of breath and saluted Tan Lun respectfully.

"Well, it's rare that you can still take time out of your busy schedule to meet with the official, which is not bad."

"Come on, pull down for this official, cut it!"

Tan Lun saw that the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and after casually glancing at the person who came, he commanded the guards on the side.

"Lord Governor, spare your life, the lower official just didn't notice it for a while, and offended your lordship! Please also give the lower official another chance, and the lower official will definitely repay the adult by being a cow and a horse. ”

Cao Cheng saw that this governor was about to kill him without saying a word, so he panicked instantly, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and sobbed.

"Pull down for this officer!"

Tan Lun glanced at this person with disgust and repeated.

"Yes, Governor!"

After receiving the order, the guards on the side immediately pulled Cao Cheng down.

"Ah, Lord Governor, you can't kill me, I'm ......"

Before Cao Cheng's words were finished, he was killed by a knife.
