general follow me

The next day, a memorial application for appropriation was sent out from Suizhou. After hearing the news, many officials along the way were secretly excited. The newly appointed governor of Suizhou was really a lucky cat. 3000 million taels?This number makes people's eyes glow green.

It has to be said that due to the temptation of the 3000 million taels, the delivery of the memorial has also become very fast, and I wish I could give it wings and fly to the capital.After Qi Yu received the memorial, he also received a letter that Liu Ran secretly asked the chivalrous man from Feihua Pavilion to hand him.

Qi Yu looked at the letter, the corners of his mouth rose more and more as he looked at the letter, until finally he burst into a smile.In the side hall, Qin Shu, who was sorting out the documents, was a little curious, and asked without doubt, "What is the emperor laughing at? But Master Liu has delivered good news?"

Qi Yu nodded in praise and said, "I didn't see the wrong person. Changli's move won my heart."

"Oh?" Qin Shu became even more curious.

At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly wanted to tease Qin Shu, so he quietly retreated from the crowd, and said with a smile, "Hee hee! Mo Nan, let me kiss you, and I will tell you."

Qin Shu said very calmly, "Your Majesty, the matter has been finished, and I will leave." Then Qi Yu couldn't help but speak and walked out.

Qi Yu looked at Qin Shu's back, and at the letter he had opened on the table, and couldn't help but smile even deeper.

After receiving the memorial and letter, Qi Yu immediately followed what Liu Ran said.Chen Jin in the capital also received a letter written by Shi Yu, and inside the letter was a letter written by Liu Ran. Although Chen Jin was a little confused after reading the contents of the letter, he believed in the general, and he also believed in the general. friend.Not long after, Chen Jin led a team of people to protect the four large boxes, and walked up the official road, followed by several subordinates of Lord Feihua silently in the dark.At the same time, on another road, the subordinates of Feihua Pavilion took a few cars and headed for Suizhou.

The officials along the road looked at it every day, sent people to the official road to inquire about the news every day, almost dying of hope, and only had one thought every day, why hasn't it arrived yet?Chen Jin didn't urge him, and walked slowly along the official road with his men and horses. Anyway, Master Liu told him to try to walk as slowly as possible, so he might as well appreciate the scenery along the way.

Jiangzhou.The governor of Jiangzhou went to the official road to greet him in person, and he couldn't help feeling secretly excited.

"Master Li?" Chen Jin asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Master Li said enthusiastically, "Naturally, I'm here to pick you up, Vice General Chen! It's a tiring journey to Suizhou. Since you pass by Jiangzhou, how about the scenery in Jiangzhou?"

Chen Jin politely refused, "No, I'd better stay at the inn, don't break the rules."

Master Li regretted hearing the words, "That's true, but, to tell the truth, Vice General Chen, this inn collapsed a few days ago, and it is still being repaired at this moment, it is really a coincidence!"

What repairs, it is obvious that you have someone secretly dismantle it.Hiding in the dark, His Excellency Feihua secretly thought, took out a list of officials along the way given by the emperor, and drew a circle on Mr. Li's name.

"So..." Chen Jin was in trouble. If he continued to walk, the soldiers would not be able to bear it, but if he entered Jiangzhou City, he didn't know if he could fool this old and cunning Jiang... Governor of the state.Seeing that the sky was getting dark and it was going to rain, Chen Jin compromised and said, "Forget it, then I will trouble Mr. Inspector."

Master Li smiled like a flower, and said repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble, please, Vice General Chen."

Chen Jin nodded and followed Master Li into Jiangzhou City.It has to be said that Jiangzhou City is really rich, even if viewed at night, the level of prosperity is comparable to that of the capital city.It's no wonder that Mr. Li has changed from a sallow and thin old scholar to the rich old man he is today.

Hosting banquets, arranging good rooms, and replacing everything with the best, this Master Li simply enshrined him as his ancestor.Chen Jin sneered in his heart, this Mr. Li is really a moth of Daqi, he has been an official for several years, he has done a lot of small things, but he has not done any of the big things related to money.

After toasting and drinking, Chen Jin went back to his room early to rest, thinking that he would have to go on his way tomorrow.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Master Li led troops into Chen Jin's room suddenly.

"Take him down for me!" Master Li glared angrily.

Chen Jin was very angry with being woken up, and said angrily, "Master Li, you... what are you doing?"

Master Li sneered, "Hmph! Deputy General Chen, do you really not know what you have done?"

Chen Jin smiled contemptuously, and replied, "Oh? I really don't know! What? Master Li, you know?"

When Master Li saw Chen Jin's appearance, he felt suspicious.Today he sent someone to check the river repair money secretly, but he heard that there was only 500 million taels of river repair money in the room. He was furious immediately, and he was sure that Chen Jin had stolen the river repair money before he left. On the official road, he must make a show to show him, so that he can cheat him once.Twenty-five million vehicles!Swallowed a whole 500 million taels!Even if 500 million taels were placed in front of him, the governor of Jiangzhou, he would not dare to be greedy for so much!When the next officials saw less money, they would only assume that he had swallowed it, so the matter would not be covered!His heart was ruthless, so he might as well make a preemptive strike!But seeing Chen Jin now, he felt something was wrong.

Immediately he snorted coldly, "Hmph! Deputy General Chen! How dare you hide the river repair funds without authorization! You still say you don't know!"

finally come.Chen Jin thought to himself, but there was still a tinge of anger on his lips, and he asked, "My lord, don't frame me! In fact, I can swallow the river repair money as much as I want!"

Mr. Li asked, "Oh? Deputy General Chen, why are you talking about 3000 million taels of river repair funds in the room, but only 500 million taels? It's not that you embezzled it for yourself, what else can it be!"

"So it's this," Chen Jin sneered, "my lord doesn't know yet, what Chen Jin escorted was the first batch of river repair money, which is considered as the cost of recruiting laborers, and the remaining 500 million taels is the second batch. It is the cost of rectifying drinking water and building canals!"

As soon as these words came out, Lord Li couldn't react, "Two...two batches?"

After Chen Jin finished speaking, he lay down, turned his back to Mr. Li and said angrily, "If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, you can write to the emperor and ask Mr. Li to take his subordinates out. Chen Jin won't send him!"

Master Li reacted and said with a sneer, "...Deputy General Chen, hehe, I haven't figured out the situation! Please forgive me, Vice General Chen."

Chen Jin's snoring was loud.

Mr. Li had no choice but to grit his teeth secretly. Looking at the situation in front of him, the 500 taels might not be able to move, so he could only wait for the 500 million taels later.

Early the next morning, before Master Li woke up, Chen Jin gathered the team and went to the official road. Before leaving, he asked his servants to bring a sentence to Master Li——

"Hopefully do it for yourself!"

In Suizhou City, the people from Feihua Pavilion who came from another road had already arrived, and they were talking happily with the leader.

The person who takes the lead is Xiao Xu, the younger brother of the Pavilion Master of Feihua Pavilion, who has not yet reached the age of crown.Sitting in the courtyard, Liu Ran poured tea for Xiao Xu and said, "This time I have to thank Xiao Xu for protecting my money all the way."

Xiao Xu took the tea and waved his hands, "No need, the main reason is that second cousin is resourceful, even brother can't help saying that you are cunning and cunning!" Suddenly he felt something was wrong again, "Cousin, I...I'm just kidding Yes, don't take it to heart!"

Liu Ran smiled and said, "No problem. By the way, when will Xiao Xu go back?"

"...Well..." Xiao Xu thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow. What's the matter, do you need me to stay and help you? By the way, cousin, when will you start construction?"

"You can go back safely earlier, and you don't need to stay to help me. As for the start of construction, I plan to set it up tomorrow."

"So urgent?!" Xiao Xu asked worriedly, "Is it too rushed?"

"The sooner the better," Liu Ran said with a smile, "The former governor had plans, I looked at them." Then he sighed, "If it wasn't for money, I'm afraid this Suizhou would have left early. life without water."

In the afternoon, Liu Ran summoned his subordinates to announce his decision.When the people below heard this, they were all shocked. There was no precedent for building the canal before the money for the river construction arrived.

"My lord, before the money for building the river arrives, let's build the canal..." an official asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's use my silver as a cushion first." Liu Ran said slowly.

"My lord! 3000 million taels of silver, can you... afford it?" An official who didn't know who he was asked questioned embarrassingly.

Liu Ran wasn't angry either. After all, normally, he couldn't even afford a corner, but now it's different. , it is inevitable that I will send some congratulatory gifts to save my face. Before the money for the river repair arrives, I will deduct it from the congratulatory gift I received. But the construction of the canal cannot be delayed. Tomorrow we will start recruiting laborers to start work. That's it. .”

All the officials looked at each other, not knowing what the new governor was thinking.Now that they won't get any of the 3000 million taels of silver, they can only swallow a little from Liu Ran.Anyway, since it was his silver that was deducted, they would not take it for nothing.After making up their minds, they all went back home to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

As soon as Liu Ran arrived in the backyard, she asked three words, "Have you finished laying the paper?"

Sanyan said, "Okay! I've already taken it back."

"Yeah." Liu Ran asked again, "Huh? Where's Honglian?"

"Oh, she went to keep the moon, and she asked me to tell you, young master, that she will be there on time tomorrow!" After repeating the three words, she asked again strangely, "Young master, we need such a big sheet of paper to dry it!" Well!"

Liu Ran said with a mysterious smile, "You will know tomorrow." Then she sighed and said to herself, "Young lady, why do you like to run to the army so much!"

On the military camp playground, Shi Yu brought Hong Lian to watch the soldiers drill, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General, my young master asked me to ask you, are there any soldiers who violated military discipline?" Hong Lian said truthfully.

Shi Yu asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"The young master said, if there is any, the general should not be dealt with by the military law. The military law is so cruel and strict. The soldiers have just started to practice. How can they bear it. It is better to let them participate in the repair of the canal. First, to make up for their mistakes, and second, to hone their skills Grinding the hostility of the soldiers, three to speed up the project and benefit the people."

"..." The wishful thinking came to his barracks, and the corners of Shi Yu's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and he agreed, "Yes."

Honglian didn't know what the general meant, but she didn't dare to speculate. Looking ahead, the loess was flying, Honglian pointed to the distance and asked, "Is that the direction of Yuesang?"

Shi Yu replied, "Well, what?"

A strange look flashed in Honglian's eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and she replied, "It's nothing, general, Honglian will leave."

Shi Yu looked at Hong Lian's back in puzzlement, Yue Sang?Recently, he has also heard rumors about the disappearance of the Liu family. Could it be related to Yue Sang?Is the real purpose of Liuran here is Yuesang?

The loess is flying, and the people of Yuesang in the distance are living in peace, completely unaware of the bloody coup that will come in the future.
