As soon as Deng Zhongnan entered the house, the warblers and Yanyan in the house surrounded him again. "Go, go, get out of here!" Deng Zhongnan shouted with a cold face, startled a group of warblers flying wildly, and the flowers and branches were scattered.

"Hey Zhang! What about Zhang Xi? Deng Zhongnan then yelled outside the door.

The old housekeeper Zhang Xi ran over when he heard the voice, and he was out of breath, "Master." ”

"Zhang Xi, what about Wei Daye?"

"Don't worry, the old slave has let him go back to Huguang to avoid the limelight, master, Wei Daye is using a fake name, and the government is not so easy to find him, as long as he is not caught, this matter will not involve the master."

"You know what a." Deng Zhongnan paced back and forth in the hall, his expression changed, he couldn't figure out how the matter of Sanjiang Silver Shop could be directly stabbed to the Criminal Department.

Jinling City is divided into two counties, namely Jiangning County and Shangyuan County, the south of the city belongs to Jiangning County, and the north of the city belongs to Shangyuan County. There is also a Ying Tianfu on it.

According to common sense, even if there is an accident in Sanjiang Yinpu, it should be tried by Shangyuan County first, and Jiangning County cannot be tried, and then it will be handed over to Yingtianfu for trial.

Regardless of whether the case is in Jiangning County or Yingtianfu, if the other party cannot find real evidence, Deng Zhongnan is confident that it will be settled.

Now that the case has crossed Jiangning County and Yingtianfu, and directly entered the Criminal Department, Bai Tie is a guy with a tendon in his brain. This is still secondly, although Bai Tie is iron-faced and selfless, he has always enforced the law impartially, and in the absence of evidence, he will not bend into tricks and bite people indiscriminately.

The problem is that as soon as this matter arrives at the Criminal Department, it is basically equivalent to going straight to heaven.

In case King Qin becomes suspicious, even if there is no evidence, his career in this life will be over. This is what Deng Zhongnan is worried about.

He thought about it left and right, but couldn't think of a good way to crack it, and now it is better to be still than to be still. We can only wait and see what happens.

"You've paid for it."

"What do you command?" Zhang Xi cautiously leaned forward.

Deng Zhongnan's eyes revealed a fierceness, and he whispered in Zhang Xi's ear: "It's best to let Wei Daye disappear completely, now that the matter has reached the Criminal Department, if he is caught, the matter will be irreparable." ”

"Sir, this"

"Huh?"

"Yes, yes, the old slave will do it."

***

According to Bai Tie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Hu San, the owner of the Sanjiang Silver Shop, was simply a puppet, and was instructed by a person named Zhou Ding to open a silver shop. but for a reward of twenty taels of silver.

And Li Yin, a timber merchant, was also coerced by the man named Zhou Ding, and in order to keep the business in hand, he deposited the silver in the Sanjiang silver shop.

The only clue now is that after Li Yin quietly sent someone to follow Zhou Ding, he found that he was drinking tea with Zhang Xi, the housekeeper of Deng Zhongnan in Langzhong of the Ministry of Works.

But this clue was also broken at this point, and Zhou Ding disappeared.

There is no circumvention of this person. Even if what Li Yin said was true, but based on his words. And just saw Zhou Ding and Zhang Xi drinking tea together. This is far from enough to convict Deng Zhongnan.

Qin Mu didn't take this matter too seriously, thinking that with Bai Tie coming out, he would soon be able to find out, but he didn't expect this matter to become a headless public case.

Qin Mu smiled coldly, there is really a policy and a countermeasure!

"Let Huang Lianshan come over." Qin Mu instructed Han Zanzhou.

Han Zanzhou hurriedly sent someone to call Huang Lianshan. Originally, Qin Mu didn't want to use the night to collect this, but now someone has inserted a thorn in his throat, and it is unpleasant not to pull it out.

"King Qin, I don't know what to order?"

"Check out the Ministry of Works, Langzhong, Deng Zhongnan. He eats a few grains of rice a day and checks it out to this king, but this king doesn't believe it, and his mouth is so clean? ”

"Whoa."

Qin Mu suddenly had a deep understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, some things, it is really not enough to just go through the legal process.

And he seems to be too merciful internally, so that some people in Beijing dare to mess around, and it is not okay not to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

Huang Lianshan had only left the imperial study for a while, and He Liang, the secretary of the military department, hurried over, and said as soon as he finished the salute: "King Qin, according to the information sent back by Dongfang Sheng, the head of the Ministry of Staff, the Tatars are transporting a large amount of grain and grass from Shanxi to Kaifeng, and the ministers think that this matter is unusual;

As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the grass eats first. It is very likely that the Tartars are preparing to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against our Huainan region in winter;

King Qin, the Tatars habitually live in the bitter cold land, the summer is hot, the Tatars often go south because of the water and soil adaptation and infection, winter is the best season for them to go south, this has to be prevented. ”

"A lot of grain and grass? The Tartars were able to get a large amount of grain and grass from Shanxi? This made Qin Mu quite puzzled, as far as he knew, Shanxi has often been plagued by famine for many years, coupled with years of war, where can there be so much grain and grass?

"King Qin, Dongfang Sheng twice led his troops to prepare to rob grain, but the Tartars were well defended, and Dongfang Sheng not only failed, but also lost a lot of manpower."

He Liang replied to the question, in his opinion, it is no longer important how the Tartars can get so much grain and grass from Shanxi, the important thing is that the offensive that the Tartars had to slow down some time ago due to the lack of grain and grass will soon change.

Qin Mu said calmly: "The soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the earth, Luzhou and Huai'an will each send 10,000 additional troops, as well as grain, grass and weapons, these can be arranged by your military department, we are fighting on the inside line, don't panic, this king believes in Mengke's ability." ”

"King Qin, Qingliu Pass is the northern gate of Jingshi, isn't it?"

"No need, just let the red lady guard it."

Qin Mu walked to the map by the wall and looked carefully, since the Qing army transported grain and grass to Kaifeng, it means that their main attack will be on the eastern front, and now Fengyang Mansion south of the Huai River is still in the hands of the Qing army, that is to say, their forces can go straight to the Qingliu Pass in Chuzhou and threaten Jinling.

Directly taking the head of the head, this is also in line with military common sense.

Moreover, among the three strategic points of Huai'an, Chuzhou, and Luzhou, only Chuzhou has the weakest troops, so it depends on whether the Qing army will choose to attack Qingliu Pass.

This is actually not a sophisticated conspiracy, but the temptation is very great, if you are very confident in your own strength, you will often ignore the so-called conspiracy, thinking that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are vulnerable.

"By the way, is there any information about Dodor?"

This is exactly what the minister wants to say, from the information sent back, it seems that Duoduo's illness should be almost better, and a large number of brave generals have gathered, including Chebai, Gong Adai, Xihan, Ashan, Tong Tulai, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, Xia Chengde, Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zhang Cunren, Ye Chenluo, etc. There are all kinds of signs that the winter offensive of the Qing army is already on the line. ”

Qin Mu thought for a while and said: "In this way, the pressure on Xiangyang will be relatively small, transfer Li Guo and his subordinates to Huoshan, He Shangshu, please see, if you don't bring baggage, you can go from Shouzhou to Huoshan and Yingshan at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain through Weishui, and you can intersperse it with Wuchang." ”

Qin Mu pointed out that He Liang felt that it was not impossible, at present, Wuchang did not have many troops, and that area was relatively rich, and the enemy army could quickly penetrate without baggage, and he could also collect food on the spot.

If Jinling is the head of Great Qin, then Wuchang is the heart, if this place is trapped, Wuyang Pass and Xiangyang in the north will immediately lose supplies, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The minister is issuing an order." He Liang came and went in a hurry, but fortunately, he was only about forty, and he was still very energetic.

Perhaps, this is really an eventful "winter", He Liang just left on the front foot, and Huang Lianshan came again.

"King Qin, there is a change in Fujian, I just received the news, on October 22, Longwu took Zeng Hou to flee to Guangdong, and was imprisoned in the Fuzhou Palace after being recovered by Zheng Zhilong.

However, Huang Daozhou's men and horses were vulnerable, and they were quickly defeated by Zheng Zhibao, and Huang Daozhou was captured. After this incident, the people of Fujian were panicked, and many local officials abandoned their officials and fled, but Xianxia Pass and Fenshui Pass were guarded by Zheng Jiajun and could not pass. Therefore, most of those who abandoned their official positions fled to Guangdong.

Two days after Huang Daozhou was captured, Zheng Sen suddenly attacked, rushed into the palace to rescue Longwu, escaped the Min River, was chased by Zheng Zhilong in Fangshan, and under the chaos, Longwu fell from his horse and was seriously injured, Zheng Sen and his subordinates were imprisoned by Zheng Zhilong. ”

After Qin Mu listened, he couldn't react a little, Longwu fled, Zodiac Zhou raised troops to save the Lord, and then Zheng Sen and his father went against him, this big drama was dazzling.

In fact, whether there is Longwu or not will not have much impact on Fujian's defense capability, Fujian was originally in the hands of the Zheng family, and it is still and has never changed.

What really affected this matter was Liangguang and Yungui. Without Longwu, these four provinces became headless snakes.

Zheng Zhilong, this is tantamount to helping me!

Qin Mu couldn't help but smile and said to Huang Lianshan: "Quickly spread this news out of the four provinces, especially the four provinces of Liangguang and Yunnan and Guizhou, we must let them know the Tao as soon as possible, and then let Tian Yimu, Lu Daqi, and He Tengjiao increase their efforts to appease them, go quickly." ”

"Whoa!"
