The governor was the highest governor in charge of the civil affairs, justice, and military affairs of a province set up in the Ming and Qing dynasties. And the brother who lost his head is surnamed Tong, and now the governor of Fujian is surnamed Tong, and this Chinese officer is still a relative of the governor.

Seeing that the case was serious, the general judgment did not dare to make the decision, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to take care of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and rode to the county office to find the county order to call the shots. Of course, the county magistrate didn't dare to call the shots, so he looked for a level at a time, and finally found the governor's yamen.

Tong Guonai was working in the yamen, and when he heard that Zhentai was coming to find him, he thought something big had happened. As soon as he heard that his Chinese officer had been killed, Tong Guonai angrily scolded the Fuzhou prefect for being wasted and asked him to investigate immediately.

The order of the top boss came down, and the prefect naturally put down all his work to handle the case. But after suffering the shopkeeper and the guy of the restaurant, they were escorted to the prefect's yamen and beaten half to death.

In fact, this case is very simple, and it was tried in less than an hour. The prefect of Fuzhou hurriedly took the file and went to Tong Guonai to express his merits.

Seeing that the prefect of Fuzhou was coming, Tong Guonai was angry, Tong Shun was born in his coat and saved his life many times on the battlefield. Originally, I was going to be released to be a general lieutenant general in a few years, but I didn't expect to lose my life in Fuzhou, and the most infuriating thing was that the person who did it was too vicious, and he actually cut off the * words and stuffed them into his mouth. Tong Guonai decided that as long as he caught the murderer, he must also cut off his * words and stuff them into his mouth, and he must do it when he is alive.

"Say, what the hell is going on?"

"Back to my lord, the next official found out that Tong Shun went out with his brother-in-law Jia Jiangzong. Because Jia Jiang owed money to others, he asked Tong Shun to come forward. ”

"I didn't ask you what's going on, who are we who killed Tong Shun and my pro-army!"

Seeing that the governor was angry, the prefect of Fuzhou hurriedly said: "Yes! My lord! Jia Jiang's colleague said that a few days ago, Jia Jiangzong gambled with an officer under Li Zongbing and owed him 100 taels of silver, and today he was meeting with that officer. And the shopkeeper of the restaurant also confirmed that the officer and the people he brought were full of Henan accents, and there was one more point... ”

Seeing the prefect spitting and spitting, Tong Guonai glared and asked, "What else?" Say it all! ”

"My lord, Tong Shun and Jia cut off their heads and stuffed them with the words in their mouths, and the lower officials asked about it, this is the means of gangsters in Luoyang, Henan. They extort foreigners, and those who can't get out the money have to be dealt with in this way, but there are living people stuffed into that* words, this time the head is cut off, I don't know what this means! ”

Hearing what the prefect said, Tong Guonai groaned, what did the people of Henan do? Most of Li Chengdong's subordinates are from Henan, could he have done it? But in the past half a month, Li Chengdong has reined in a lot, and his army can no longer leave the camp, is someone framing him?

Tong Guonai thought about it for a while, and still asked Li Chengdong, after all, the most Henan people here in Fuzhou now are his army, don't ask him who to ask?

Tong Guonai took ten guards, got on the horse and came to Li Chengdong's mansion in Zhuangyuan Lane, Dongcheng, and asked people to call the door.

Li Chengdong happened to be at home today, because he didn't want to get too stiff with Tong Guonai. After all, it seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies most of China, and the Shenwu regime in Guangdong only occupies one province.

Today, I heard from my family that the governor was coming, just outside his house, Li Chengdong was stunned, he didn't expect Tong Guonai to be able to visit his house.

Li Chengdong hurriedly asked people to open the middle door, and he took his son Li Yuanyin out to greet him.

When Li Chengdong went out, he saw Tong Guonai's gloomy face standing at the door. Li Chengdong didn't dare to be careless, and quickly knelt down to welcome.

"I don't know if Lord Futai is coming, the lower officials are far away!"

"Get up, I have something to ask you today!"

"Please Futai-sama enter the house and speak!"

Tong Guonai dared to enter his mansion, what if Li Chengdong had any intention to do it himself?

"No need, just two sentences!"

After Tong Guonai finished speaking, he asked people to open the burden wrapped in two heads and show it to Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong saw that it was two heads, and he was still holding those words in his mouth, which made him confused.

"My lord, what's going on?"

"Humph! This man was an officer in the Yamen of my governor's yamen, and at noon he was killed by a group of Henan people in the Beicheng restaurant, along with 24 of my pro-soldiers. After investigation, it was said that these Henan people were soldiers in your battalion. ”

Li Chengdong saw Tong Guonai asking, and hurriedly said: "My lord is wronged!" Since the last accident, the subordinate has strictly ordered my subordinates not to enter the city, and this time it must not be my soldiers! ”

"It's not yours, so whose is it? Where else are there so many Henan people in the city? In addition, I asked this method to make a mistake, only the gangsters in Luoyang, Henan Province will use it, and you still say that you are your person? ”

"My lord, there are a lot of Henan people under the subordinates, but there is absolutely no such ruthless person!"

Seeing that Li Chengdong didn't admit his account, Tong Guonai couldn't help it, after all, he didn't catch anyone. He didn't dare to take people to Li Chengdong's camp to arrest him, because Li Chengdong still had more than 50,000 horses, ten times as many as himself, and if it was not operated properly, it would be easy to cause a mutiny. Therefore, if you want to move Li Chengdong, you must catch him with conclusive evidence, such as rebellion and other justifiable charges, and then you can execute him in the open, and then his 50,000 horses will fall into his hands intact.

Tong Guonai couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Master Li, you have to manage your subordinates well, if this kind of thing happens, I will go to you in a book!" ”

After saying the hard words, Tong Guonai took people out of Li Chengdong's mansion, and when he saw Tong Guonai taking people away, Li Chengdong scolded: "What is this bastard, dare to do this to me? ”

Li Chengdong turned to Li Yuanyin and said, "Boyu, you take someone to the barracks to check out, which bastard disobeyed my order and went into the city to do this kind of thing!" ”

Li Yuanyin saw Tong Guonai walking away, and whispered: "Father, I think those two heads are like Uncle Luo's methods!" ”

"Luo Chengyao? He is from Luoyang, Boyu, how do you know it's him? ”

"Father, I have seen Uncle Luo lead people to blackmail local rich families in Yangzhou before, and one family did not take out the money, and their meat tickets were handled by Uncle Luo in this way!"

Li Chengdong heard that it was Luo Chengyao, and hesitated in his heart, Luo Chengyao was cruel and easy to kill, and his status in Gao Jie's army was not inferior to himself back then. After Gao Jie's death, he overpowered Luo Chengyao. But now Luo Chengyao is also disobedient to himself, and this matter is really difficult to deal with if he really does it.

Li Chengdong thought about it and didn't want to check, if he and Luo Chengyao fought hard, wouldn't Tong Guonai get cheap.

"Boyu, don't check it, I'll find a chance to talk to Luo Chengyao about this matter." Li Yuanyin nodded in agreement.

Tong Guonai, who returned to the Yamen, was very depressed, this feeling of knowing who the murderer was but not doing anything was really bad. Just then, someone outside the door asked to see him.

"Lord Futai, Jiangning five hundred miles urgent!"

The five-hundred-mile rush seems to be a very important military situation. Tong Guonai stepped forward and took the official envelope and opened it to watch.

After reading it, Tong Guonai broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that he had just walked away on the ghost gate.

It turned out that this official document was sent by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiangnan, to the provinces, and the content was very simple, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan rebelled, and tens of thousands of eight banners in Nanchang were killed.

You must know that Tong Guonai only took ten people to see Li Chengdong just now, and there are still hundreds of soldiers in Li Chengdong's mansion.

Tong Guonai was frightened into a cold sweat, and now there are only less than 3,000 people in the Eight Banners of the Han Army in Fuzhou City. Because Fuzhou is located in the south and the weather is hot, there is no garrison here in the Manchurian Eight Banners, only the 3,000 Han military flags that came with Tong Guonai. If Li Chengdong thinks about it, his three thousand people will not be enough to stuff his teeth. Tong Guonai was so anxious that he was spinning all over the ground, how could he take down Li Chengdong without bloodshed? I now have official channels to know about the affairs of Jiangxi in advance, but this kind of major event will be transmitted to Fuzhou sooner or later. He was not on good terms with Li Chengdong, and if Li Chengdong also wanted to take Jin Shenghuan's path, he would be finished.

Tong Guonai has thought of a lot of methods, but it is not practical, it seems that the only way to deal with Li Chengdong is to solve it quickly, and find a way to deceive him into the mansion and kill him. But it's easy to kill him, but it's not easy to clean up his 50,000 horses when they mess up, and if they don't get their old lives, they will lose their lives. Of course, it is not that there is no way, if he can get the actual evidence of Li Chengdong's rebellion, and then find someone close to him in his army. When the time comes, show Li Chengdong's evidence in front of the whole army, and then that person comes forward to win over his subordinates, this may be possible.

Tong Guonai thought of this and suddenly remembered that his clan uncle came, he had been walking from him for half a month, and there had been no news, I don't know how the progress is? Thinking of this, Tong Guonai called his family and asked him to contact Tong Tuchang at the contact address left by Tong Tuchang at that time, so he said that he wanted to see him and asked him to find time to come over.

Tong Tuchang didn't know that he had anyone to worry about, and at this time he was talking to Wang Xian in the manor.

After Wang Xian came back, he told Tong Tuchang about the people he met in the Zheng family, and wanted to ask Tong Tuchang what he thought.

Tong Tuchang is cunning and cunning, knowing that the Zheng family has also begun to reach out to Fujian. Also, now the Zheng family can only huddle in the sea outside Kinmen, where hundreds of thousands of people are crowded. Zheng Chenggong probably also wants to regain his father's lost territory, and it is not impossible to meddle in Fuzhou in this way.

Tong Tuchang thought for a while and said, "Wang Qianhu, you will contact the Zheng family tomorrow, I want to meet with them and see what they are trying to do!" ”

"My lord, now that the enemy situation is unknown, let's bring more people!"

Tong Tuchang shook his head and said: "No, there are too many people to make people suspicious, I can also bring Zhao Da and Zhao Er!" ”
