Dong Qingyun's words couldn't help but make Shi Yuan stunned: Yes! If he was alone, he could ignore it, but he still had to consider Lin Yingyue and the Lin family now! The last time Luo Wenfeng dared to let people sneak attack him, it was enough to see the insidiousness of his methods! Last time, I happened to meet Baihua and saved myself, but if there is a next time, if the target is not myself, what should I do?

The other party is in the dark, and he is in the light. If the other party really wants to use some insidious means, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do...... It's really a headache for me.

Thinking in his heart, but then as soon as he saw Dong Qingyun, Shi Yuan rolled his eyes and grinned at him, with a flattering face: "Isn't this an uncle!" Yue'er's grandmother is your savior, you shouldn't stand idly by, right? ”

Dong Qingyun seemed to be waiting for Shi Yuan to say this, as soon as Shi Yuan's voice fell, he sighed lightly, full of helplessness: "Receiving the grace of people dripping water, you should repay it as a spring." I, Dong Qingyun, have always wanted to come to Jinling to repay my kindness all these years, but I have never been empty...... After decades, I didn't expect that when I came again, the benefactor of the past had already driven the crane west......"

"Don't tight, don't tight! Although Yue'er's grandmother is no longer alive, is there still no Yue'er and the Lin family? Lord Dong, if you help the Lin family, Yue'er's grandmother and her old man will know about it, and she will definitely be gratified...... "Shi Yuan naturally didn't want to let Dong Qingyun go for nothing.

"That being said, though...... What a pity! The old man has been here in Jinling for more than a month, but he is blocked step by step, alone, even if he wants to help the Lin family and protect Miss Lin, he is more than willing and not enough! After Dong Qingyun finished speaking, he added another cup of tea to himself, and then, he picked up the teacup and glanced at Shi Yuan meaningfully: "Unless...... can drive Luo Haotian and his son out of this Jinling! ”

This old fox...... I went around in circles for a long time, but I still came around! Brother Shi naturally understood the meaning of Dong Qingyun's words, but he thought in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but followed Dong Qingyun's words and said: "Uncle, since the emperor asked you to rectify this Jiangnan officialdom, how could he let you alone?" In the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, isn't there anyone who can help you? ”

Hearing that Shi Yuan actually took the initiative to talk about this matter, Dong Qingyun was a little surprised. But after hearing it, he didn't rush to answer, but shook the teacup in his hand, and then glanced at Shi Yuan deeply: "Come to Jiangnan, do you really think that the emperor took the initiative to let me come?" ”

"Or else?"

"The emperor is now only thinking about recovering the northern kingdom, but how can he care about this!? This time it was a joint meeting between me and a few ministers, and Your Majesty was a little tired of it, so he asked me to come here......"

Although Dong Qingyun said it simply, Shi Yuan also understood it. I can't help but know why Dong Qingyun sighed so long, and let myself come to the house to say this, probably, I just don't know the master!

Seeing Shi Yuan bowing his head and pondering, Dong Qingyun continued to speak: "A few years ago, because of the war, the treasury was lost, and the people were struggling to make a living, so it was hard to stop the war, but it was only a last resort. Your Majesty he...... He has never given up his determination to attack the North! In recent years, taxes have increased seriously, and local officials have used this as an excuse to exploit the local people...... This place south of the Yangtze River is especially serious! ”

Shi Yuan also heard Guo Renjie talk about these things, but he didn't expect it...... How serious it could be! He now finally knows that the Nanqing he is in is not peaceful! Under this seemingly prosperous coat, it has been decayed!

Dong Qingyun took a sip of tea before he continued: "It is precisely because of this that the Qinglian Sect was given an opportunity!" Just now I said that I came to Jinling, not only to rectify this officialdom, but most importantly, to come for this Qinglian Sect! ”

"Blue Lotus Sect?" Today, Shi Yuan has heard this name for the second time. My heart couldn't help but sink: it seems...... It's not as simple as you think!

"Exactly! The serious taxation caused the people everywhere to be resentful, so that the Qinglian Sect had an opportunity to take advantage of in various places. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid, the emperor wouldn't necessarily let me come to Jiangnan! These three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are the most rampant places of the Qinglian Sect, and now, although they are only active in some small towns, they have colluded with officials from all over the country, and they have a momentum of rise......"

Although he knew in his heart that this matter was not simple, Shi Yuan still held the temptation and smiled indifferently: "Uncle don't worry about this!" This peasant rebellion is difficult to achieve! Besides, isn't the emperor a big military fan? Exterminating this Qinglian Sect is not a matter of minutes! Then, he picked up the teapot and added some tea to himself, without a trace of emotion.

"If it was that simple, how could I be here? The difficulty is that it is not easy for this Qinglian to teach it! Not only is it stealthy, it's extremely scattered! Although they captured some county seats, they did not cause trouble everywhere. The emperor was bent on attacking the northern country, but he didn't take these small county towns into account at all, and the military salary was already tight, so where would he care about this? ”

"Then Lord Dong is here, how are you going to exterminate this Qinglian Sect?" Shi Yuan heard it, asked puzzledly, and then joked: "It's not necessarily, it's to reason with those people, right?" ”

"Hey!" Dong Qingyun sighed softly again, and then said, "What you said is not what I am worried about...... If you want to exterminate this Qinglian Sect, you must use this Jiangnan soldier! But this Jiangnan official colluded with the Qinglian Sect a lot......"

"Yabing?" It was the first time he had heard of this word, and Shi Yuan glanced at Dong Qingyun again with some doubts.

Dong Qingyun then explained: "A few years ago, because of frequent wars, troops were recruited everywhere, and the military equipment was seriously exceeded. After the armistice, it stands to reason that these generals should resign and maintain their original strength...... However, in order to recover the northern kingdom, the emperor still wanted to retain his troops, but at that time, the treasury was tight and he could not afford to raise so many soldiers. As a result, some people proposed this method of 'raising soldiers with officials', and all officials and officials with seven grades were replaced by generals! This is the so-called Yabing. ”

As soon as Dong Qingyun said this, Shi Yuan only remembered that Guo Renjie had told him about it before...... "Since this is the case, wouldn't it be good to gather all these soldiers and exterminate the Qinglian Sect?" ”

"If only it were that simple!" Dong Qingyun smiled helplessly and shook his head at Shi Yuan.

"Over the years, those soldiers and generals who have been sent down have long become the minions of various officials! If these officials colluded with the Qinglian Sect, how could they be mobilized so easily? Besides, if all these soldiers are mobilized, there will be basically no one in the various government offices, and the security in these places will become a problem again. If the Blue Lotus Sect took advantage of the air to enter, wouldn't it cause a big mess! ”

"This ...... If that's the case, sir, you're on your own...... Isn't this just a matter of paper! ”

Shi Yuan's words were broken, and Dong Qingyun also nodded: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you kid...... Since the words have come to this, then I will no longer hide it, this time the emperor gave me a team of soldiers and horses, but it ...... Only five thousand! ”
