Chapter 245 A show of force

At the gate of the General Military Office of Xuan Mansion, Qin Yiming had not yet entered. The white-poled soldiers behind him, led by their respective generals, crowded into the General Military Mansion.

All the soldiers and servants in the mansion were driven to a corner of the courtyard and squatted down with their heads in their hands not to move. The corridors of each courtyard were filled with soldiers of the White Guard Army, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The atmosphere was so cold and desolate that it made people shudder.

When the former Xuanfu generals, Fan Yongdou and others who were following Qin Yiming saw this situation, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that the white-pole army was coming with bad intentions, and they were afraid that they would be a showdown from the beginning!

Seeing that he was about to enter the yamen gate, Fan Yongdou suddenly took a step forward and said with a smile on his face: "Commander, I have something urgent at home. I need to go back and deal with it immediately. I have to take my leave now!"

Wang Dengku and others immediately followed suit and found reasons to leave. There was even a bearded former Xuanfu general who also reported: "Commander, Master Zhongcheng has a destiny, and I have been delaying it until now. Now that I have seen the commander, please forgive me for stepping back for a moment and leaving Zhongcheng." Mr. Cheng, please take care of your business first!"

This was moved out of the Xuanfu governor. When others heard this, they couldn't help but secretly praise it. You, the general soldier of the Xuanfu, may have a higher official position than us, but there is also the governor of the Xuanfu above you. If you want to establish your authority again, can you still ride on the Prime Minister's head?

But who knew that Qin Yiming had heard it, but he smiled coldly and said: "Since everyone is here, no one can leave!"

After saying that, regardless of how they reacted, he walked inside.

When Fan Yongdou and others saw it, they couldn't help but look at each other and wanted to leave. But at some point, a group of eye-catching white-pole soldiers surrounded them, stopping them from leaving.

In a big house next to the Yamen, there were the escort servants brought by the Xuanfu generals. When they heard the noise and saw something was wrong with the scene, they all wanted to rush out with their weapons.

Immediately, groups of white-gun soldiers drove past and formed a thick formation of spears in just a moment, forcing the servants to retreat into the big house. Then the white-gun soldiers swarmed in and disarmed them all. In custody.

Not long after, in the lobby of the General Military Yamen, Qin Yiming was sitting at the head of the throne. On both sides were soldiers of the White Army holding guns and knives. They raised their heads and chests, staring at the people in the hall, and a murderous aura spurted out. It is obvious that these white-pole army soldiers are all elites, and they must have been on the battlefield and killed people.

The crowd of people who were almost driven into the lobby felt more and more wrong when they saw this formation. However, Fan Yongdou has been in business for a long time and has dealt with all kinds of people, so he can still maintain his composure.

With his mind racing, he winked at the bearded general and nodded slightly in the direction of the governor's office.

The bearded general understood this and asked him to bring out Lord Zhongcheng again to suppress the general soldiers. Even if he doesn't buy it, when the news reaches Master Zhongcheng, he will definitely want the commander-in-chief to look good.

However, this time, before he could speak, Qin Yiming suddenly slammed the table with a "pop" sound that made everything on the table jump. The loud sound also startled all the people in the hall who had their own thoughts.

Turning around, they saw Qin Yiming glaring at them and shouting sternly: "The imperial court is strictly investigating the food shortage in the surrounding areas, but what did you do?"

After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab the gift list and raised his hand to signal to the people in the hall.

When Fan Yongdou and others heard this, they finally understood why the commander-in-chief was so rude when he came over. It turned out that it was because of the imperial decree that he was strictly investigating the food shortage in the surrounding area. However, I just happened to follow the advice of Lord Zhongcheng and wanted to knock him out with a heavy gift. Wouldn't this be just shooting myself in the foot?

Thinking of this, Fan Yongdou looked at the other seven families, and a wry smile appeared on his face. This matter was brought up by Fan Yongdou based on the wishes of Master Zhongcheng. Therefore, he had to step forward, bowed, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief misunderstood! This is what I, the squire of Xuanfu, have gathered together to welcome The commander-in-chief made this together, and it is definitely not a matter of collecting surrounding food and hoarding it for strange living. On this point, commander-in-chief, please rest assured!"

When Qin Yiming heard this, he laughed in anger. As expected, the emperor expected you to quibble. He thought so and immediately sneered: "Really?"

"Sure enough!" Fan Yongdou nodded quickly in response. Other Shanxi merchants and even some generals couldn't help but nod along. This is really a joke, whoever dares to admit it is a fool!

There was another "pop" sound, but this time everyone in the hall looked at Qin Yiming, but they were not frightened. They just looked at the Xuanfu commander and didn't know what he meant.

I saw Qin Yiming shouting loudly: "Okay, in that case, I shoulder the great trust of the court. In order to avoid false accusations against you, I will send troops to various places to verify from now on. If it is true as you said, I will have a banquet to make amends!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Yongdou and others were shocked. It seems that Qin Yiming is serious! The barbarians from the southwest are the barbarians from the southwest. They don’t understand the ways of the world. After passing this level, I will slowly deal with you!

This time, they felt confident because they had prepared in advance. It was Fan Yongdou who was the first to answer: "The commander-in-chief works vigorously and resolutely, and I admire him. The commander-in-chief is serious, so please check it out! But..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiming immediately frowned and asked, "But what?"

"However, under the governance of the governor in our land of Jin, the people are living well, and the harvest is even better. Therefore, the warehouse is not just empty talk." Fan Yongdou bowed and smiled and replied, "The army also has sufficient food and material reserves. It is certified by the seal of Lord Zhongcheng. In order to avoid misunderstanding by the Commander-in-Chief, I hereby report it to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Yes, yes, there is the seal of Lord Zhongcheng. They are all government property." Wang Dengku nodded in agreement.

Seeing Qin Yiming's eyes glancing over, others also nodded, including the generals.

Seeing this, Qin Yiming could almost confirm in his heart that the governor of Xuanfu was definitely dragged into the water by them.

This point was not yet certain when the imperial court was discussing secretly, because neither Liu Xingzuo nor Han Shengcai or other channels could confirm the matter of the governor of Xuanfu for the time being. Therefore, one of Qin Yiming's tasks is to verify this matter first.

Now he probably knew it in his mind. When he really wanted to speak, he heard the noise coming from outside. In the loud shouting, it seems that the word "Zhongcheng" can be heard.

When the people in the hall heard this, their hearts moved and they all looked at Qin Yiming. They were afraid that Master Zhongcheng was coming. What should you do?

Sure enough, soon a Baigan Army soldier came quickly and reported: "The Governor of Xuanfu is here!"

Thanks to Ku Guo Gaowu, Sui Lian, and Dugu Qiu Shu for their rewards!
