In the next few days, under Zhao Fang's investigation, thousands of clans in the capital were implicated in this assassination case, most of which were killed by Yu Linwei.

When things reached this scale, it was obvious that the number of people in Ji Lin's tandem had been exceeded, but as Li Xin's brother-in-law, the new Yulin Zhonglang spared no effort to track down Zhao Fang, but anything that had anything to do with the case was taken down by him with the seal of the Son of Heaven.

In just a few days, the clans in the capital have already mentioned Zhao Fang and changed color.

In the end, Li Xin greeted Zhao Fang and signaled him to stop here.

After this incident, although there are still tens of thousands of clans in the capital, no one dares to say that the court is not, and some of the clans who live in Yongle Fang are too close to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so frightened that they all moved out of Yongle Fang and fled far away.

There are also some distant branches of the royal family, and the clans themselves do not have much industrial status except for the surname Ji, so they simply want to escape from the capital, change their names and surnames, and no longer have the same surname as the Son of Heaven.

Li Xin did not stop these actions and let them escape.

The Ji family, who changed their surname, is no longer the Ji family.

On the fifth day of the assassination, Li Xin held a banquet in the Jing'an Hou Mansion and invited all the three giants of the southwest to his home.

This banquet was held in the backyard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and there were only four low tables and four futons in total, which meant that only the four of them were qualified to eat this meal.

It's not so much a banquet as a meeting.

Zhao Jia and the other three arrived early, and sat behind the low table in a regular manner waiting for Li Xin.

After this assassination, the relationship between the three of them and Li Xin has become a little stranger, which is certainly not a good thing, but it is not all a bad thing.

In the past, Li Xin and the three of them, of course, had a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but it was more of a relationship between friends and brothers.

But after this incident, the friendship between them has become estranged, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates has become much clearer.

The three of them sat at the low table and waited quietly for a pillar of incense before they saw Li Xin in a cyan robe coming, and the three of them quickly stood up and bowed to Li Xin: "Subordinate...... I've seen the Grand Duke. ”

Li Xin walked to his low table and sat down, and then waved his hand at the three people: "You're welcome, sit down and talk." ”

The three of them bowed their heads silently and sat down respectfully.

After Li Xin sat down, he first took a sip of the hot tea on the table, then glanced at the three of them, and asked lightly: "In the past few days, many people have died in the clans in the capital, and the entire Yongle Fang can smell a faint smell of blood, are you satisfied?" ”

Li Shuo and Mu Ying were also drinking tea, but when they heard the words, they put down the teacup in their hands with embarrassed faces.

Only Zhao Jia drank the tea in his hand and said quietly: "These clan bandits, intending to assassinate the Metropolitan Governor and the prince, are really a great crime, fortunately, they did not hurt the Metropolitan Governor, otherwise it is not too many people for them to die, according to my opinion, the Metropolitan Governor is still a little merciful......

Li Xin closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "That's it, I can't say this kind of thing with Brother You'an, I didn't call you here today to discuss these clan matters." ”

The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads to Li Xin and said, "That's what the Metropolitan Governor ordered." ”

Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia and asked, "Are the officials and soldiers under our control?" ”

Zhao Jia hurriedly lowered his head and said with a smile: "Not only these two departments, but the six departments and Jiuqing can all be said to be our people now, and if the governor has any orders, just say that his subordinates can go back to Shangshutai later." ”

Li Xin nodded, and said silently: "The Ji family's clans are all over the world, these people in the capital are not convinced, and the local clans will not be convinced, Li Shuo has suppressed many local uprisings in the past six months, and most of them are local clans. ”

"In order to prevent these clans all over the world from causing chaos, I am going to send the officials at the level of lieutenant colonel and lieutenant commander of Long Wuwei and Shen Wuwei to the local military attache or military generals through the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, as long as the local army is well controlled, there is no need to worry about chaos in the clans in various places."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Zhao Jia hurriedly lowered his head and said: "There is no problem with this, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War can cooperate, but it is ......"

He looked at Li Shuo and Mu Ying, and said stubbornly: "It's just that I am afraid it will be ...... to transfer people from the two generals' army."

Although Zhao Jiayan did not explain, the meaning of the words is already very clear, Long Wuwei and Shenwuwei are the former Hanzhou Army and the Southwest Army, if the middle and low-level generals in these two armies are all over the Great Jin Dynasty and become local officers, if these two generals are in a bad mood and want to rebel one day, as long as they wave their arms, it may cause a lot of chaos.

Li Xin's face was expressionless: "Not all of them are from Long Wuwei and Shenwuwei, and some people can also be transferred from the forbidden army, in addition to the direct appointment of the imperial court, a group of military generals can also be promoted at the local level." ”

Zhao Jia nodded and said, "In this way, from tomorrow, my subordinates will discuss this matter with the two generals and General Hou." ”

At this time, Zhao Jia and the other three giants in the southwest couldn't stop smiling on their faces.

The governor of his own capital is finally about to start to completely encroach on the power of the Great Jin, once the people of the Southwest Group, or Li Xin's people, become the officers and generals of the state capitals of the Great Jin, then there will be no chaos in the clans in those places, and the time will ...... It is logical to change the dynasty.

Li Xin took the initiative to bring up this matter, which means that the world will change his surname, and it is only a matter of time.

Li Xin nodded and continued: "There is one more thing, it will be more troublesome. ”

He glanced at the three people in front of him and said: "The recipe for gunpowder has always been a top secret in the southwest, but this thing was still made out by Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and he not only got it out, but also spread it through Ji Lin's hand. ”

"It won't be long before gunpowder is no secret."

Governor Li Dadu said quietly: "This kind of thing can not be completely banned by the power of the imperial court, can only start from the source, the imperial court needs to issue a ban, from today onwards, saltpeter and iron ore have the same status, do not allow private transactions, let alone large transactions, if there is a large large transaction of saltpeter, the local government will immediately arrest it, according to the severity of the crime." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin said coldly: "If you trade more than one stone, you can be punished for sin, and if you trade more than ten stones, you can be punished for death." ”

This kind of policy matter also needs to be done by Shang Shutai, Zhao Jia lowered his head and said respectfully: "My subordinates will order it tomorrow, and Dali Temple will be able to promulgate relevant laws and regulations in the near future." ”

Next, Li Xin discussed some specific matters with these three people, such as Shenmuwei being responsible for suppressing the rebels in the Gyeonggi area, and when the north would counterattack Xianbei, etc.

The four of them sat together and talked for about an hour or two before the banquet finally dispersed.

Li Xin stood up, glanced at the three people, and said slowly: "I have known the three of them for more than ten years, and we do things together, just like doing business together." ”

Li Dadu Governor took a deep breath and continued: "Now that the business is bigger, you will have some of your own careful thoughts, which is understandable, I can understand you, but you have to remember one thing. ”

Li Xin looked around at the three of them, and his voice was a little cold: "Even if they do business together, I am also the big one." ”

"This time the Ji family's affairs, I can turn a blind eye, or I can do what you want, but this kind of thing can only be the last time, if this kind of thing happens next time......"

Governor Li put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.

"Then we won't be able to do this business."
