Fenghou

"Exactly! I can give you two examples. One is the issue of militias organized by young refugees. The prefect of Yelu agreed to form militias, but asked for a certain amount of food subsidies. Zhe Dudu thought that they had done their duty by giving food relief every day. Being a militia There is no need to give additional food subsidies to their obligations, and the two are at a stalemate for this.

The second example is the demolition of residential buildings along the city wall. The magistrate of Yelu insisted on demolishing them within a hundred steps. The governor of Zhedu wanted to build a second defensive wall and insisted on demolishing it within 7000 steps. The governor's arrangement demolished all the houses within [-] steps, involving more than [-] households and tens of thousands of people.

At that time, tens of thousands of people went to the Governor's Mansion to cry and beg, but it was useless. Zhe Dudu's attitude was very tough. He could not lower the defense requirements for the benefit of some people, so the people all called Zhe Dudu a Zhehu, but Zhedudu Said, defense is the sky, he wants to protect the Datong Mansion, everything else is not important, you say that the dismissal of the governor is out of selfishness, that may not be true, but he is very stubborn, hard-hearted, and humble, to be honest, neither of them is wrong . "

Chen Qing nodded and asked again: "Just now you said that they publicly fell out because of a case. What case?"

Yan Jun sighed and said: "It's a murder case. Recently, a local ruffian lured a young refugee girl to a brothel. Usually, he made the girl's father bear a huge debt in a daze, and then forced the father to use his daughter to pay off the debt. I have already succeeded a lot, but in the latest case, an accident happened, the son fought with the ruffian to protect his father, and then the father killed the ruffian in desperation."

"And then?" Chen Qing asked quietly.

"Then Yelu Qiyan borrowed [-] guards from me to arrest these rogue hooligans and prostitutes who killed refugees, but the result of the interrogation turned out to be Du Shun, the county captain, who was behind the scenes, and this person was Orihiko's brother in law."

"Did Orihiko use this person to control the county government?" Chen Qing asked coldly.

"it's him!"

Yan Jun nodded and said: "It is also for this reason that Zhe Yanzhi does not recognize the interrogation reports. He thinks that Yelu Qiyan fabricated them on purpose in order to regain the county government."

"Deliberately fabricated?"

Chen Qing snorted, "Can the interrogation record be deliberately fabricated?"

"The key is that there is no physical evidence, and Orihiko is determined not to admit it, and there is nothing he can do about it."

"This is not a criminal case, it's accountability. Does the imperial court impeach officials with all the important evidence?"

In this case, Chen Qing obviously had a bias.

"Your Highness, there is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Chen Qing glared at him, "Now, what else should I say?"

"I know I was wrong, I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with the governor, but he was deceived by the people around him."

"Is that the county lieutenant Du Shun?"

"Not only him, but also Li Bailing, an aide. He is Du Shun's father-in-law. He is insidious and cunning. I heard that he was the one who conspired to control the county government in order to empty the government office. Also, Zhe Yanzhi did not report to the military department. The matter of giving birth to a son is probably also his persuasion, and more importantly... the identity of this person is doubtful."

Chen Qing frowned, "What do you mean by doubtful identity?"

"It was told by the prefect of Yelu that Li Bailing claimed to be from Yingzhou, but the prefect of Yelu repeatedly checked among the refugees in Yingzhou that no one knew this Li Bailing, and his daughter, Du Shun's wife, once said something wrong. She complained that Datong Mansion was too cold, much colder than Yanshan Mansion."

Chen Qing heard the clue, "What do you mean, Li Bailing is from Yanshan Mansion?"

"Your Highness, if Li Bailing is from Yanshan Mansion, where is his son-in-law Du Shun from? The attack on Datong Mansion appears to be a nomadic army, but behind it is the Kingdom of Jin!"

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qing, accompanied by Yelu Qiyan, inspected the temporary refugee camp for the people of Yingzhou. The refugee camp is in charge of the government office. It is located in the southwest of Datong City.

"Before I lived in the city, it was too crowded. Several families crowded into a tent, which was very inconvenient. Now it is winter, and it is impossible for nomadic cavalry to attack in winter. After the beginning of spring, I want them to transfer to Taiyuan Prefecture. Both Magistrate and Cao Zhifu agreed."

Chen Qing nodded and asked: "There is something I want to ask the prefect of Yelu. Yan Jun told me, do you suspect that Li Bailing's origin is unknown?"

Yelu Qiyan was silent for a moment: "Originally, I wanted to find a special time to report to His Highness. Since His Highness asked, I will tell the truth. I dare not say that Li Bailing is a spy of the Kingdom of Jin, but he did conceal his background. I have confirmed it." He came from Yanshan Mansion."

"How did you confirm it?"

"Du Shun's wife, that is, his daughter, has a personal maid called Lai Xi'er. This Lai Xi'er admitted the day before yesterday that they are from Yi County. Li Bailing was once the boss of Yi County."

"Have you placed someone in Du's house?" Chen Qing suddenly realized.

"The humble job did not install anyone, but bought a maid. This maid has a very good relationship with Lai Xi'er, and they talked about everything. They drank some wine the day before yesterday, and she asked a little bit. Ten said."

Pausing for a while, Yelu Qiyan said shamelessly: "The humble job originally wanted to find other excuses for Du Shun, but unexpectedly, by mistake, it found out Li Bailing's background."

Chen Qing nodded, this Yelu Qiyan really had a strategy, he couldn't fight against Zhe Yanzhi head-on, so he fought in a roundabout way, unexpectedly there was an unexpected harvest.

The first thousand and 160 chapters and seven wizards

Chen Qing walked around the refugee camp. The management was good. The roads were tidy and not as muddy and dirty as he imagined. It won't be muddy.

The latrines were also arranged away from the living area, and every household used stoves and briquettes.

"Where did the briquettes come from?" Chen Qing asked curiously, pointing to the briquettes.

"It was supported by Taiyuan Prefecture. It supported 10,000 stoves and [-]+ catties of briquettes. Now the two families share one stove."

"Have you told them? You can't use the stove in the big tent, it will be poisoned."

"I have said it all, and I have said it repeatedly, so far, there has been no poisoning."

Chen Qing nodded, "Very good, besides, I would like to have a discussion with some old people and listen to their ideas, please ask the prefect of Yelu to arrange it!"

"The humble job will arrange it!"

Not long after, five or six old men came to the big tent, and one of them was Liu Dajiang, a middle-aged man. Yelu Qiyan felt that he was quite insightful, so he arranged to sit and talk with him, but reminded him not to talk at this time The matter of the case will backfire.

"Everyone, please sit down!"

Chen Qing called everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Everyone is invited to have a casual chat, talk about the daily life, and talk about the current difficulties. Everyone can speak freely without restraint."

An old man raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, the youngest old man is surnamed Chang. He is an old farmer. What I care about most is spring plowing. I heard that the government will arrange for us to go to Taiyuan Mansion. I suggest that we can start early. Before spring plowing Arriving in Taiyuan, there is land to cultivate, and I don't want to delay the farming time."

"That's a good suggestion!"

Chen Qing happily said to Yelu who was beside him, "The prefect of Yelu can consider this suggestion."

"Remember, I will discuss it with the Taiyuan government immediately."

At this time, another old man said: "May I ask your Highness, the government arranged for us to go to Taiyuan, should we continue to live in the big tent, or do we have a house to live in?"

This is also the topic that the refugees are most concerned about, and it was asked by the old man.

Chen Qing smiled and said: "There will be a misunderstanding here. Everyone may think that if you go to Taiyuan Prefecture, you will be resettled in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture. In fact, this is not the case. There are no extra vacant houses or extra land in Yangqu County. Not many, I arranged for everyone to go to Taiyuan Prefecture. In fact, they are resettled in other counties below Taiyuan Prefecture, such as Qingyuan, Jiaocheng, Yuci, Taigu, etc. There is land to resettle you, and there are also a lot of empty houses. The counties live and work in peace and contentment."

All the old people were talking together, Chen Qing looked at the middle-aged man, seeing him hesitate to speak several times, he smiled and said: "What's the name of this gentleman?"

The middle-aged man quickly bowed and said, "Xiaomin Liu Dajiang!"

Chen Qing said with a smile: "This name is very grand, what do you want to say?"

"Xiaomin's suggestion may be a bit abrupt."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Does Your Highness know that about a hundred miles north of Datong City, there are two large lakes. The lake in the northwest is called Ang'a Xiashui, and the lake 150 miles to the northeast is called Baishuipo."

Chen Qing nodded, "I know these two lakes, you continue to talk!"

Liu Dajiang continued: "If the grassland nomadic army wants to attack Datong Mansion, there will definitely be a sheep-raising tribe beside these two lakes. This sheep-raising tribe is actually the enemy's logistics supply. The nomadic army is just like us. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If the Western Army can kill the sheep-raising tribes by the two lakes, then the nomadic cavalry's southward raids will not happen."

Chen Qing was very surprised, and asked with a smile: "What if I kill two sheep-raising tribes, but the other party sends a new tribe?"

"Generally not. Launching wars and logistical supplies are related to the interests of all tribes. They negotiated and discussed in winter. If they want to send new supplies, then everyone has to sit down and renegotiate. Various offers and profit distribution It’s different again, after a few months of quarreling, by the time everyone recompromises, it may already be autumn, and the fighting time will be very short.”

Chen Qing nodded again and again, "It makes sense, how does Mr. Liu know these things?"

"Xiaomin stayed in the grassland for more than ten years when he was young, and participated in the wars between their tribes, so he knows some characteristics of their warfare."

"very good!"

Chen Qing praised sincerely that what he needs most is someone who understands the warfare of grassland tribes.

Chen Qing smiled again at the old man next to him: "If you have any suggestions, you might as well speak out frankly."

……

Liu Dajiang is a very intelligent person. He was taken captive to the grassland at the age of 20 and lived in the grassland for 15 years. He married a wife and had children in the grassland. After his wife and children died of illness, he returned to Yingzhou. In a legendary experience, Liu Dajiang made full use of his experience in the grassland and successfully gained the attention of King Yong.

After the symposium, Liu Dajiang finally found an opportunity to tell Chen Qing about the grievances of his brother-in-law Yao Dalang.

Liu Qing smiled slightly: "So, you are Yao Song and Yao Mei's uncle?"

Liu Dajiang was both surprised and delighted, "Has Your Highness seen them?"

"Your niece is very courageous. She hid her brother behind her back and filed a complaint. I accepted her pleading paper."

"what!"

Liu Dajiang was really surprised, he asked urgently: "Excuse me, Your Highness, where are they now?"

"They are in the inn in Anping Town. Yao Song is seriously injured and needs to be healed. You can go and see them."

"Xiaomin wants to visit their brothers and sisters, please allow your Highness!"

Chen Qing nodded, "You go! After you come back, you can go to General Du Tongyan, the deputy commander. He needs a guide under his command. I think you are a good fit!"

Liu Dajiang was very moved in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Qing ordered his soldiers to take 20 taels of silver for him, and lent him a horse. Liu Dajiang rode to Anping Town.

……

The arrival of King Yong, Zhe Yanzhi was actually a bit guilty, mainly because his son did not report to the military department according to the regulations. Of course, he was worried that his son would be sent to live in Jingzhao. Although he will not now, but after two or three years old ?

Moreover, his aide Li Bailing also advised him, if the military department doesn't ask, then pretend to be confused, don't know about this rule, and wait until you ask, there is no need to take the initiative to report to the military department.

Li Bailing's persuasion made Zhe Yanzhi deeply believe that the officialdom is like this, many times the rules are the rules, and the implementation is the implementation. If you don't talk about breaking it, you may not follow the rules.

But now that King Yong is here, should he say it or not?

Li Bailing persuaded him again: "If His Royal Highness King Yong asked about the family situation, the governor would naturally tell him that he had given birth to a son. If he didn't ask, why should the governor be so troublesome?"

Li Bailing was tall and fat, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and a big nose. From his appearance, he was well-groomed and imposing. Orihiko also used Li Bailing as his staff because of his appearance.

But Li Bailing introduced his in-law's daughter to him as a concubine, and gave birth to him a fat son. Orihiko took Li Bailing with admiration and appointed him as his chief aide.

He almost obeyed Li Bailing's persuasion, but Li Bailing's persuasion today made Orihiko hesitate a bit.

The first thousand and 160 eight chapters of adultery

In the afternoon, Orihiko wanted to have a talk with His Royal Highness King Yong, but he learned that His Royal Highness Yong had gone to inspect the refugees, so he had to go back to the mansion dispirited.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I heard the housekeeper severely reprimanding a maid, "If you dare to spread rumors and talk nonsense, I will cut off your tongue and goug your eyes, remember?"

Orihiko's housekeeper has been with him for 30 years. He is one of his most trusted people. He has always had a gentle temper. Orihiko has never seen him get so angry. What's wrong?

"Old Wang, what's going on?" Orihiko couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Ah! The master is back."

Steward Wang quickly waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave quickly.

Orihiko could see clearly, and was even more puzzled in his heart. He stepped forward and asked, "What rumors are there in the mansion?"

"There are no rumors, the master is too worried."

Orihiko's face sank, "Just now you got so angry, at least it was the first time in ten years! Old Wang, you have been with me for 30 years, do you have something to hide from me?"

"Hey! It's just some very dirty rumors, which are hard to hear, so I don't want to tell the master."

Orihiko's face became more and more gloomy, and he was extremely dissatisfied: "Am I a three-year-old child? I still need you to choose for me. Did you betray me and then deliberately conceal it, didn't you?"

"The master thinks too much, how could I betray the master, it's really ridiculous, so I..."

Orihiko became furious, drew out his sword and gritted his teeth, "If you don't say anything, I'll kill you!"

"I say! I say! There are rumors in the mansion that Du Shun is having an affair with his wife."

"Fart! They are brother and sister, how could it be..."

"That's why I said it was absurd, and I was so angry that I just reprimanded the maid just now."

Orihiko put away his sword and just took two steps when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This kind of thing seemed ridiculous to him, didn't the servant think it was ridiculous?

He thought for a while and said, "Bring the maid from just now to my study outside. Be careful and don't let others see it."

Although Orihiko didn't believe in such absurd rumors, he always felt a little strange. There must be something happening?

Not long after, Steward Wang hurried to the outer study with his maid, Chunshui. The maid was so frightened that she knelt down.

Orihiko said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't punish you, but I want to know, where did you hear those rumors? You'd better tell the truth."

Chun Shui tremblingly said: "Master, the servants in the house are secretly talking about this matter, and many people know about it."

"Then why this rumor, what happened?"

Chun Shui hesitated, Orihiko shouted angrily, "Say!"

"I said, every time Lieutenant Du came to visit Madam, Madam drove all the maids to the outer house, leaving only A Ping at the door of the inner house to watch. These days, every time the master left at noon, he came running, Aunt Li found out yesterday..."

"Found what?"
