Due to the delay of several days in Liuzhou City, it was already late April when Li Yuntian came to Guilin City, and Zhang Ben, Wang Jian, Wang Jin, and the officials of the three departments of Jiaozhou all went out of the city to greet him.

Zhang Ben, Wang Jian and Wang Jin already knew about Li Yuntian's use of a stand-in, so naturally they would not break the assumption of General Nan in public, and the three of them were secretly glad that Li Yuntian used a stand-in, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and now I am afraid that no one except Li Yuntian can control the situation in Jiaozhi.

It is worth mentioning that the fact that Wu Qian was the assassin was not spread to the outside world, and few people knew about it, and even Zhang Ben and others thought that Wu Qian and others had absconded.

What made Li Yuntian feel a little regretful was that he was a step late, Chen Ningning left Guilin City half a month ago, and went to Jiangnan to deal with the affairs of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the two would still be able to meet.

With the arrival of Li Yuntian and his entourage, the officials of Guilin City complimented the supposed general Nan like a moon, making the supposed general Nan socialize constantly.

Li Yuntian took advantage of this opportunity to be busy with the official business at hand, and secretly made an appointment with the chief officer of the Third Division of Guangxi, which made the chief of the Third Division very surprised, and no one thought that Li Yuntian would use a stand-in.

To Li Yuntian's surprise, in order to support him in quelling the rebellion in Jiaozhi, the Guangxi Third Division raised a total of 200,000 taels worth of money and grain from various local yamen in Guangxi to the counterinsurgency army in order to show favor to Li Yuntian.

If he were to be replaced by another chief military officer, he would definitely be overjoyed to get 200,000 taels of silver for nothing, but Li Yuntian seemed very indifferent about this, although Guangxi was relatively remote, but the annual tax revenue in the local area would have to be two or three million taels when converted into silver.

These two or three million taels were subsumed into the finances of the local yamen in Guangxi, and it was difficult to calculate how much of the officials, large and small, had already made money, and it had become a confused account.

Now the Third Division of Guangxi actually took a mere 200,000 taels of grain to send him away, and wanted his subordinates to be gracious, which was too underestimating him.

However, since Guangxi Sansi has this thought, then Li Yuntian should not be in vain, now the affairs of Jiaozhi cost like water, and he just happened to use this money and grain to rebuild Jiaozhi.

Although Li Yuntian received this money and grain, this does not mean that he will do nothing in Guangxi, his purpose is to rectify the rule of officials in Guangxi, and naturally he wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and give a wake-up call to those local officials in Guangxi.

As for what to do next, there is a lot of attention to it, you can't check people for no reason, and you can't take those complaints of the people to investigate, both ways will make local officials panic, and it will inevitably cause turmoil in the current situation, and he must have the handle of those people to start.

It was too easy for Li Yuntian to find the handle of those local officials, and since those officials were trying to curry favor with him by raising military funds for the counterinsurgency army, then he would start with this matter and let those officials know that he was not as easy to fool as others.

Therefore, after gladly accepting the 200,000 taels of money and grain, Li Yuntian asked the Guangxi political envoy to come to the Guangxi provinces to collect statistics on the amount of money and grain they had raised.

After checking the amount of money and grain raised reported by the 11 prefectures in Guangxi, Li Yuntian suddenly secretly ordered the personnel of the government affairs hall under the Jiangwutang to rush to Wuzhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to Guangdong, overnight, to seal up the houses of the Wuzhou Prefecture and the yamen of the subordinate prefectures and counties, and begin to check their accounts.

This shocked the officialdom in Guangxi, and no one could have imagined why Li Yuntian, who had just received the "benefits", would turn his face ruthlessly and suddenly let people check the accounts of Wuzhou Mansion.

However, then a rumor spread in the officialdom of Guangxi, as a state capital ranked among the top three among the eleven prefectures in Guangxi, the money and grain raised by the Wuzhou Mansion for the counterinsurgency army was only a pitiful more than 5,000 taels, ranking at the bottom of the eleven prefectures in Guangxi, so it angered Li Yuntian.

At the same time, Li Yuntian issued an official document to all prefectures and counties in Guangxi, prohibiting the localities from collecting taxes and taxes in the name of raising military funds from the Jiaozhi counterinsurgency army.

As soon as this official document came out, the officials in the Guangxi officialdom suddenly came back to their senses, and the Wuzhou Mansion was really planted on the more than 5,000 taels of money and grain, which made everyone secretly happy, and at the same time felt that the Wuzhou prefect did not know the current affairs, and the dignified General Dingnan of the Ming Dynasty was only worth a mere 5,000 taels?

Since figuring out the reason for the investigation of Wuzhou Mansion, the panic atmosphere in Guangxi officialdom quickly stabilized, and everyone thought that Li Yuntian's new official took office with three fires and wanted to investigate the officials in various places, so many people would be unlucky.

On the second day after Li Yuntian issued an official document prohibiting levies and additional levies to various prefectures and counties in Guangxi, two carriages came to the gate of the Yamen of Guangxi's political envoy.

"This poor master, I bother you to go in and talk to General Dingnan, and the Liu family of Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province asks to see you!" A handsome girl dressed in a green group got out of the leading carriage, walked up to the doorkeepers who were talking and laughing, and smiled and handed a small piece of silver to one of the stout doormen.

"Lord General is busy with official business, I can help you pass it on, but it has nothing to do with me if Lord General Soldier sees you or not!" The stout doorman tossed the broken silver, and while looking at the green-clothed maid, he asked, "What is your relationship with the chief soldier?" I'll report later. ”

"We and the Chief Soldier are old people in the capital, and you will know the name of my young lady as soon as you say it." The green-clothed girl smiled slightly and replied quietly, looking a little mysterious.

"Kyo ...... The old people of the capital? The stout doorman was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stuffed the broken silver in his hand into the hand of the green-clothed girl, and hurriedly entered the mansion.

The green-clothed maiden looked at the stout doorman who fled in the desert with some puzzlement, not knowing what was happening, and it seemed that the stout doorman looked very scared.

Not only that, but several other doormen on the side also looked at the green-clothed girl ring in amazement, and when they saw the green-clothed girl looking at them, they quickly looked away, looking weak-hearted.

The green-clothed girl will not know that in the second half of last year, Chen Ningning came to the Guangxi Political Envoy Department to find the two political envoys on the left and right when she was troubled by the gatekeepers, and the doorkeepers who did not open their eyes thought that she was from the family of the merchant and wanted to take the opportunity to extort money, but the doorkeepers were beaten by the two political envoys for a full fifty boards each, and they were almost killed.

Later, people learned that the woman who was extremely beautiful and richly dressed was not a woman from a merchant family at all, but the wife of Wubo in Daming Town.

Generally speaking, because Chen Ningning is a concubine, she cannot be called a lady in front of outsiders, only the main room can have this title, and the formal title of a good concubine is "aunt", as for the concubine who is not from a good concubine, she doesn't even have a title in front of outsiders.

However, Chen Ningning is different from ordinary concubines, she has the emperor's pardon and is a Liupin'an, so she can be called Mrs. because of the emperor's grace, and enjoys the same treatment as the main room, but her status is half a block lower than that of the main room.

After this incident, the guards of the Yamen of the Guangxi Political Envoy knew that Li Yuntian had several concubines, the so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, and now I heard that the young lady in the mouth of the green-clothed girl was Li Yuntian's old man, so they naturally subconsciously thought that it was Li Yuntian's concubine.

Otherwise, this mountain is high and the water is far away, which woman is full of food and wants to come to Guilin City to see Li Yuntian?

Therefore, how could the stout doorman dare to accept the benefits of the green-clothed maid ring, now Li Yuntian is the highest official in Guangxi, if he does this, he is completely looking for death.

"What's going on?" The green-clothed girl knew the hidden meaning of this, and returned to the carriage with a puzzled expression, and the people in the carriage seemed to feel that the shape was excellent, and then a soft female voice came.

"Miss, what's wrong with him?" The green-clothed girl whispered what had just happened to the woman in the carriage suspiciously, and asked puzzledly.

"Looks like they recognized the wrong person." The woman in the carriage groaned for a moment, and replied in a soft voice, guessing that the doormen had misunderstood her relationship with Li Yuntian.

It is assumed that General Nan was practicing his sword in a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the Yamen when he received the report, and since he did not take over official duties, his ordinary life was very relaxed and leisurely.

After learning that Li Yuntian's old man in the capital was visiting and that he was still a woman, he assumed that General Nan would not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the sergeant of the Xiaowu Army in charge of the guard to inform Li Yuntian.

"Liu's family in Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi?" At this time, Li Yuntian was discussing affairs with a middle-aged man wearing a five-grade civil official robe in the living room of a relatively remote courtyard in the backyard of the government, and after hearing the report of the sergeant of the Xiaowu Army, the image of a pretty woman suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't imagine why the other party had come all the way to Guangxi.

"If there is anything to do with the chief soldier, the subordinate will retire first." Seeing this, the middle-aged civil official sitting on the side bowed slightly to Li Yuntian and said, he felt that Li Yuntian seemed to have an important guest.

"You go down to rest first, and the official will talk to you in detail tomorrow." Li Yuntian bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said to the middle-aged civil official.

The middle-aged civil official immediately got up and bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, bowed and strode away, Li Yuntian muttered for a while, and asked the sergeant who reported the news to tell General Nan to let the pair of master and servants waiting outside the door come to him.

"Big brother, isn't Liu Wenqing Liu in Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi?" After the middle-aged civil official and the sergeant of the Xiaowu Army who reported the news left, Lei Ting walked in from outside the door and asked in surprise.

Lei Ting had already inquired about Li Yuntian's affairs, which naturally included the emotional entanglement between Li Yuntian and Liu Wenqing, and she was very surprised that Liu Wenqing suddenly came.

"It should be her, among those people that the eldest brother knows, only Miss Liu is from Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxia." Li Yuntian nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, he really couldn't think of what Liu Wenqing came to Guangxi to do, and among all the people, Liu Wenqing was undoubtedly the one he was most unwilling to face.

The relationship between the two is very complicated, and it can be said clearly in a few words, which can be described as untidy and messy.
