Dressed As An Ancient Heroine Control Group

Du Ke was thinking about how to answer the emperor's words, and answering the emperor directly, you are wrong, this is not suitable. But in fact, this matter is not a bad thing in Du Ke's eyes, at least Qin Fang has solved the matter, and did not hurt the innocent women in the bandits, and all the evidence is at hand, as long as the bandits are dealt with Mr. Hexian, returning the remaining 70% of the money in the bandit's den to the people, the emperor's prestige will definitely increase. So in Duco's view, this thing couldn't be more perfect.

However, it was the emperor who asked the question. Even if the emperor would be generous, but as a minister, he still had to say nice things. Du Ke can become the emperor's confidant and secretly stand in line before the emperor wins the heir. Naturally, he is someone with brains.

So Du Ke just pondered for a while, and then replied: "This matter is a bad thing for the emperor and the court, but the victory is that the matter has been resolved 70%, so it is a good thing. Therefore, the emperor's answer is in the eyes of Weichen. Come on, half right and half wrong."

Oh? Du Ke's answer aroused the emperor's interest, he looked at Du Ke with a chuckle: "It's rare, to hear such an answer from your mouth, it shows that your attitude and measures to solve this matter are still the same. Quite satisfied, you just didn't tell me, I guessed wrong."

Du Ke said solemnly: "Weichen dare not."

The emperor snorted: "Come on, let's talk about it."

"According to the order." Du Ke continued, "Does the emperor still remember Qin Fang in the Yongzhou Border Barracks?"

"Qin Fang?" The emperor thought for a while, "Is it the Qin Fang who proposed to divide the surrendered barbarians into pieces and resettle them?" There is indeed an impression, mainly because this happened not long ago.

Du Ke said: "Yes, this matter is also related to Qin Fang." The person who can make the emperor's impression, and listening to the emperor's answer and expression, is still a good impression, that is a good thing. "General Qin took 3,000 deserted barbarians to Yunxiang County for resettlement on foot, and he was transferred to be the general defender of Yunxiang County. Passing through Huanshui County, two big things happened."

The emperor picked it up with an unpredictable expression: "Huanshui County? I remember that Huanshui County is relatively rich." It takes three days for Huanshui County to ride horses to the capital. Looking at it, it is not bad, so it is also a good county. "What? This is still a wealthy county, and two major events can happen? I haven't received a memorial from Huanshui County."

Qiguo did not have a cabinet, except that the memorials of military generals would pass through the Ministry of War, and the rest of the memorials would go straight to heaven. That is to say, if something goes wrong in Huanshui County, this memorial will be sent directly to the emperor, and then distinguished by the servants. The memorial is based on different colors to distinguish emergencies. Then the emperor began to review the urgency of the memorial.

Du Ke said: "The first one is that several hundred of the 3,000 barbarians brought by General Qin fell ill. This disease is a contagious cold. After the onset of the disease, the patient will have cough, headache, and general weakness. Although it is contagious, If you take the medicine on time, there is no danger to your life. Now General Qin has isolated the patient from the healthy person. However, it takes a long time to recover from the disease, about a month. During this month, if the medicine is taken every day, it is only The cost of medicinal materials can be quite a lot.”

What is the emperor most afraid of? The common people are most afraid of getting sick, and the emperor is also most afraid of getting sick. The emperor looks down on doctors... No, he has an imperial doctor, and he has medicinal materials, but he is different from the common people. The common people are afraid of spending money when they are sick, and they are afraid of death when they are sick.

When the emperor heard this, his heart became irritable. Although infectious diseases were different from plague and smallpox, they also made him irritable. Fortunately, Qin Fang has been controlled and quarantined: "Have you confirmed it with the imperial doctor? Are you sure it's just an infection, not fatal?"

Du Ke replied: "After Wei Chen entered the palace, he went to the imperial hospital and confirmed it with the imperial physician. In fact, this disease is more common in spring every year. However, every year, people who have no money to buy medicine die of this disease. It also exists.”

When the emperor heard it, he looked at Du Ke thoughtfully: "You mean, let the imperial court allocate funds to Qin Fang to treat the barbarians?"

Du Ke's heart tightened, and he immediately said righteously: "The barbarians have just surrendered to us, if hundreds of people die all at once, once this matter spreads to other barbarians, not only those barbarians who are watching will not dare to surrender, but also other barbarians. The barbarians will also be worried. However, this money, General Qin has already settled."

This time the emperor was surprised: "How did Qin Fang solve it? Could it be that he paid for it himself?" He didn't think anyone would do this.

Du Ke said: "This is the second thing that Wei Chen wants to say, and it is also a more serious thing. It affects the reputation of the court, and... your reputation, Your Majesty."

As soon as Du Ke said these words, the original relaxed atmosphere of the imperial study was completely gone, and the emperor's face became serious: "What's going on?" He absolutely does not allow things that affect the reputation of the court and his personal reputation.

Du Ke said: "The magistrate of Huanshui County colluded with the bandits, General Qin..." He said everything, and then put Qin Fang's letter on it, which also contained the testimony of many bandits.

The emperor read the letter first. There is no problem with what Qin Fang wrote in the letter. If there is a problem, Du Ke will not submit it. Just after reading the letter, the emperor said something neither serious nor serious: "He would think of writing a letter to you."

Du Ke didn't try to figure out the meaning of this sentence, he explained: "General Qin has just been promoted to general Wude, and he probably doesn't know the rules of the court. It's a bit familiar, so I wrote this letter to Wei Chen." The addition of the word ba also shows that he is neither very clear nor very sure of what Qin Fang is doing, which can rule out his collusion with Qin Fang. behavior.

Civil servants and military generals collude, even if they don't design a prince, this is not what the emperors of all dynasties want to see. Duco knew this, so he explained it to himself. However, he also knew that the emperor would not doubt, after all, what was Qin Fang's background? Born from grassroots, with no back door and no backer, he was promoted this month. With such an innocent identity, no one can doubt him. What's more, as wise as the emperor?

But the emperor did not doubt that it was one thing, and he still had to show his attitude as a courtier.

The emperor smiled: "This Qin Fang is interesting, and it's okay to suppress bandits. Since you still want to take 30% of the money as military pay, and use it to build the military camp in Yunxiang County, this approach is like Yonghe Hou."

Duco smiled and didn't answer.

The emperor said again: "But this is fine. If everyone is as self-conscious as Qin Fang and needs money to find a way, why should I worry about the money in the treasury? Look at those who need money to build dams, and flood disasters. Silver, why don't you learn from Qin Fang to suppress bandits and make money?"

Du Ke continued to laugh, how did he answer this? Said they were afraid of death and dare not suppress bandits? "Then the emperor promised him 30% of the money?"

The emperor said: "Just give him 40%, and the extra 10% is the reward silver that I rewarded him." That is to say, it is owned by Qin.

However, the emperor is not at a loss. This money was obtained by Qin Fang from the bandit suppression. Originally, 70% of the money was intended to be reserved for the people of Huanshui County. Now he gets 10%. Speaking of which, it means that the people can only get 60%.

However, since the emperor rewarded him, Qin Fang naturally took it.

three days later

"General...General, I'm back." As soon as Tao Shan arrived at the bandit den, he hurried inside. The rain has stopped and the weather has turned for the better. Those who were healthy remained in the brigade camp, while those who were ill were moved to robber dens.

Kun Shi and others came out one after another when they heard Tao Shan's voice.

Qin Fang has been idle these days, waiting for Tao Shan to come back. He came back and forth for six days, and he was also impatient. Mainly because I was afraid that the county magistrate would suddenly come over. But there were some accidents. It has been a few days, and the county magistrate has not sent anyone. Maybe the robbers and the county magistrate rarely contact each other except for dividing the stolen goods.

Qin Fang finally waited for Tao Shan to come back. Looking at Tao Shan, who was so busy, he said, "It's hard work, but the letter has been delivered to Lord Du Kedu?"

Tao Shan smiled honestly: "It's not hard work, the letter has been delivered to Lord Du, and my subordinates brought back Lord Du's letter and the emperor's decree."

Qin Fang heard that and immediately knelt down to receive the order. Tao Shan respectfully requested the imperial decree and handed it over to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang took the imperial decree and said to Tao Shan, "Go and rest first."

Tao Shan: "Yes."

Back in the room, Qin Fang read Du Ke's letter first. Du Ke wrote in his letter that he would come to Huanshui County in a few days. Because he was not as fast as Tao Shan when he was sent by imperial envoy, he asked Tao Shan to bring his own letter and imperial decree first. At the same time, he also asked Qin Fang to detain the county magistrate after receiving the imperial decree, and then wait for him to come. Also, the letter mentioned that the emperor promised 30% of the stolen money as his military salary, and rewarded 10% of the stolen money as his return.

Qin Fang was very happy when he read the letter. The robber's silver has been counted. There is a total of 50,000 silver, and the rest of the jewelry is not counted. If he is rewarded with 10%, at least 5,000 taels of silver.

Qin Fang seemed to see Bai Huahua's money flying. It turned out that... suppressing bandits is the fastest way to make money.

The door of the house suddenly opened, and Qin Fang came out with the imperial decree: "come here."

Soldier: "General?"

Qin Fang: "Hurry up and count the number of people, everyone will go to the county seat with this general to arrest the county magistrate."

Soldier: "Yes."

Half an hour later, all the soldiers gathered at Wulipo, two hundred soldiers from Qiguo, three hundred soldiers from Manzi, a total of five hundred soldiers were all here.

Qin Fang stood at the front, holding the imperial decree in his hand and said: "The emperor has a decree, order me to take down the magistrate of Huanshui County, and everyone is ready to go."

"Yes." The neat voice was very loud. In the past few days, the soldiers have been paid 30% of the silver, and the soldiers have eaten meat several times, so they are in good spirits now.

Huanshui County

The reason why the county magistrate paid attention to the Wulipo bandit den is that they rarely contact each other at ordinary times. They only contact when they share the stolen money. Because there are too many contacts, it is not good to be discovered. The second is that he has been busy recently, and the affairs of the Feng Family Medical Center have made him very irritable. There is no way to rush into a murder case, not to mention that everyone has seen it.

county government office

The county magistrate glared angrily at Doctor Feng who was sitting on the side: "How many times have I told you, don't use the common people to test the medicine, don't use the common people to test the medicine, why don't you listen? It's alright now, he's dead There are three people, what if the family members of those people are disturbed?"

Doctor Feng smiled indifferently: "When the lord took the money, he looked so cheerful, I thought that the lord was just talking about it, and didn't care that I used the common people to test the medicine."

The county magistrate: "You... but now you're making a mess."

Doctor Feng disagreed: "The lives of those **** are inherently cheap. Besides, I chose people from extremely poor families. If I give them a little money to compensate, they won't care about their lives."

The county magistrate snorted: "Why didn't you say that you almost involved someone with status a few days ago? If it wasn't for the arrest of the head and letting the other party leave directly, this matter involving unrelated people may not be good. already."

Doctor Feng: "Everyone has already left, why are you still mentioning this?"

The county magistrate: "I warn you for the last time, don't try the medicine with the common people, otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?" Doctor Feng asked back, "Are you going to have a fight with me?" He had another question to ask. Just didn't say it.

However, the county magistrate didn't know what he meant?

At this moment, there was a huge movement outside, and the head hurried to the door: "My lord... the lord is not good."

The county magistrate shouted in the room, "What's wrong? What's going on?" The anger that didn't ooze from Doctor Feng's body moved towards Caotou.

The catcher said: "Someone who claims to be General Wude has been ordered to arrest you and has already surrounded the county government."

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, although he said loudly: "What kind of martial arts general, you are so bold, this official has not heard the news of the court, who dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict?" After speaking, he strode out of the room, " What kind of **** general?" In front of outsiders, he is the grandfather of Qingguan County, and only in front of his own people can he show such a "true temperament".

Capturing the head: "At... at the gate of the county government office."

At the entrance of the county government office at this time, Qin Fang was standing there majestic in a military uniform. He was tall, with a resolute and stern complexion, and with his years of border crossing career, his complexion was much darker than ordinary people. Therefore, he who does not speak or laugh is like a **** of war. Although he has been an official for a short time, his official prestige is not large, but through this time to suppress the bandits, his arrogance has also grown, and his official prestige has gradually increased. In front of the people in the county town, he can pretend very well. Besides, he was holding the imperial decree, and he had a 10% reward in his heart. It was the time to be full of energy.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, this is the general.

"what happened?"

"I do not know."

"This is the general. Generals wear such clothes."

"Why did they set up the county government?"

"That's right, they're so brave."

"Could it be that the county magistrate has everything?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting into trouble."

"That's right, just take a look, don't talk nonsense."

"Take it easy, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

During the discussion of the common people, Qin Zhong said loudly: "Dear fathers and villagers, please be quiet. Your county magistrate, officials and bandits colluded. This general came to arrest him on the order of the court, and the commissioned minister will arrive in a few days."

"What? The county magistrate colluded with the bandits?"

"Is that impossible?"

A bold person asked curiously, "This general, are you talking about the bandits from Wulipo?"

"You don't want to die, dare to mention the bandits in Wulipo?"

"I mentioned it, they can kill me in front of the general."

"The unfortunate group of Wulipo, they should have been arrested long ago."

"Even if they were caught long ago, there wouldn't be so many people being Huo Huo."

Qin Fang said: "Yes, it's the bandits from Wulipo outside the county."

With Qin Fang's approval, the people started talking again. "I'll just say, every time the county magistrate says that there is no evidence to arrest people, it turns out that the officials and bandits colluded, and the county magistrate will definitely benefit."

"Bah, why should such a person be the county magistrate? He should be arrested."

In the crowd, a woman quietly left. She ran to the house desperately. After turning left and right in the county town, she came to a dilapidated thatched hut: "Mother...Mother... God's eyes are open, God I finally opened my eyes."

A blind old lady came out of the dilapidated hut, and a little girl beside her supported her. The old lady asked in a hoarse voice, "what's the matter?" Her voice was full of tension and concern. This hoarse voice was not born, but she was crying blindly.

The woman said: "Mother, a group of officers and soldiers came to the county town just now. They were not officers and soldiers of the county government, but officers and soldiers in the army. The leader was a general. The general led the officers and soldiers to surround the county government. The general also said, The county magistrate colluded with the bandits in Wulipo, and the officials and bandits colluded. He came to arrest people on the order of the imperial court. He also said, "Don't worry, the imperial minister will come soon. Mother, let's find that person now." General, beg him to avenge us."

The old lady hesitated: "but... but will the general avenge us?"

The woman said: "Are we going to let Xianggong die without resting his eyes? And the imperial minister is about to come. If the beast kills the emperor before the imperial minister comes, what should we do? Or, the beast escaped before the imperial minister came, not for a lifetime. Can't catch him, can't avenge Xianggong?"

As soon as the old lady heard it, she immediately said, "You are right, we will go to the general and ask him to avenge us."

The lady continued: "Mother, I'll go by myself. You and Ju'er won't go, you are hiding here. If the general did not avenge me, but instead colluded with that beast, then leave me alone and run out of here."

The little girl who was called Ju'er held back tears and nodded: "Mother, I know, don't worry."

But the old lady said: "I'll go, I'll go to the general to seek justice, you and Ju'er hide. Daughter-in-law, I'm getting old and I won't live for long. If I follow Ju'er, it will affect her. But You are different, you are still young, and I can rest assured that you are taking care of Ju'er."

The woman also knows this principle, but: "Mother..."

The old lady shook her head: "I have already decided, you will take me to the general's place, and then find a place to hide yourself."

Qin Fang didn't know that an unjust case was waiting for him, and at this moment he was waiting for the county magistrate in front of the county government.

The county magistrate of Huanshui County is a thin person, and he doesn't look like a lot of meat. No wonder no one suspects his collusion between officials and bandits, because he is too thin, and at first glance, he can't afford meat and his conditions are not good. If the officials and bandits collude, the county magistrate must be rich, and he must eat and drink a lot. Such people should be obese.

And the county magistrate in front of him, this respectful face, looks like a person who can't get enough to eat. If he hadn't learned the truth from the bandits, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

While Qin Fang was looking at the county magistrate, the county magistrate was also looking at Qin Fang. The man in front of him couldn't tell his age from the outside, but his tall body was full of aura, which made the county magistrate swallow his saliva. He had no doubt that the other party could crush him to death. However, as a local snake, the county magistrate has not experienced wind and rain. He even dares to cooperate with bandits, let alone a general? He said coldly: "Who are you? You dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court to go into the county office privately. You have committed a serious crime of punishing the nine clans. If you retire quickly, this official can still beg for mercy for you."

Qin Fang was too lazy to talk to him, and when he saw him coming out, he said directly: "Come here, tie him up with this general, and if he dares to struggle, he will directly remove his limbs."

Captain Yang: "Yes."

The county magistrate felt a chill all over his body, and when a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't make sense. Shouldn't the other party explain his identity to him at this time? Then he continued to question his identity to buy time, and then find a way to escape. However, the person in front of him is obviously different from the person he planned. He didn't say a word, and just sent someone to tie him up. What's going on?

The county magistrate hurriedly stood behind the catcher: "Zhang catcher, stop them."

Yang Xiaowei sneered: "When Lao Tzu killed the enemy on the battlefield, you probably still fished the people. Stop Lao Tzu. I don't know how much blood I have seen with my knife. Do you dare to come?"

Speaking of which, Yang Xiaowei is not a bandit-like person, but when he opens his mouth, he really looks like a bandit. I don't know if he did it on purpose.

Cao Tou took a few steps back. Seriously, he was just doing a good job in Huanshui County, and he didn't dare to fight with these people who had been on the battlefield.

Yang Xiaowei added: "Our generals are on the order of the emperor to arrest corrupt officials. If you are wise, surrender, and you will suffer less. If you are ignorant and want to die in vain, you are asking for it."

The yamen who were still in front of the county magistrate immediately moved away.

Yang Xiaowei immediately led someone to arrest everyone who should be arrested.

Qin waited outside, watching Yang Xiaowei play his prestige. At this moment, there was a cry from the crowd: "The general is wronged... The general is wronged..."

The crowd moved away, only to see that the one who was wronged was a blind old lady. She took a cane and walked a few steps, and then knelt directly on the ground: "General, the old lady is wronged..." Because she didn't Knowing where Qin was placed, he knelt down directly.

The common people looked at the old lady and looked at Qin Fang. Qin Fang was also a little stunned. It was the first time he met someone who complained against him.
