Chapter 1951 Resolute and Vigorous

What the regiment leader doesn't know is that it's not just the sneak attack he encountered here, but also in more than 30 bandit-infested areas within the fifteen provinces of the Northern Empire. Li Cong didn't care about it from the beginning These news, in Li Cong's opinion, this is nothing, and there is nothing to say. After all, it would be strange if the bandits didn't think about such a big business. Usually, they say that the bandits have been settled But now I know that it is far from the same thing. These bandits are not so simple one by one. They will see the money when they see the money. This is not an ordinary thing anymore, it seems that someone is targeting me.

Meeting more than a dozen bandits every day is nothing, but all the ones I meet are such powerful bandits, and my losses are not small, basically at the same time, and the locations are all in the surrounding area. Among the several provinces, these dozen or so provinces are all areas that Cao's Commercial Bank will enter and develop in an all-round way, which makes people think deeply.

"Why don't I go back and see what's going on?" Boss Cui saw Li Cong frowning and said, didn't he just eat and not work because he was Li Cong's brother-in-law, so he could be in this seat A large part of the mess is because of my own ability. If something happens in the chamber of commerce, I will be there at the first time. If there is no such thing, I am not worthy of getting so much salary in the chamber of commerce, so He was the first to stand up.

"The matter is not that simple. Our investigation department has also analyzed it. This time it is definitely some premeditated actions. You have just opened up the situation in the Southern Empire. The Rongchang princess is not so easy to serve. If you After I left, I was afraid that others would not be able to serve him. You should honestly be a wasteland cow in the Southern Empire. I will go back and have a look on my side. You can't go away." Li Cong said, looking at the senior managers under him. Indeed, they are the most familiar with the affairs here, and if they are told to leave just like that, the losses here will not be small.

"That's fine. In fact, the loss this time is really not small. I read it just now. Nearly half of our more than 30 escort groups have lost more than half of them. Even the remaining ones are also lost. More than one-third, appeasing these soldiers is what we must do now. We can't let the soldiers feel cold." Bai Er said, his heart was also very distressed. At the beginning, these guards were all Bai Eryi One of his cousins ​​was also wounded in this battle.

"This is natural. According to our regulations, the pension standard is raised a little bit. Tell the people below that every soldier who dies can continue to receive half of this person's salary every year, in addition to the three hundred taels of silver given as a settling allowance in accordance with the regulations. 20 years in a row. After 20 years, if the family has difficulties, they can continue to receive it. Each family can give another 500 catties of grain every year. We have to deliver it to their doorstep. If you don’t want to ask for grain Give money, if there are people of suitable age in the family, they can consider entering our Cao's firm to work, and the salary is double that of others. Of course, they can't be allowed to enter the guard group again." Li Cong said leisurely, such a boss probably also As long as Li Cong can do it, it is not that other commercial firms do not have their own guards, but they only get a pension of one hundred taels of silver at most.

As for what happens in the future, it is not our business, you can only ask for luck. It is also in this way that it can be shown how good Li Cong is to his subordinates, but no matter how much blood money you give or how good the treatment is, this person will always be dead.

"Okay, I'll go and announce this right away." Bai Er said, they were actually very concerned about what the boss did this time. The tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of other guards are watching. They will be very concerned about Li Cong's actions at the moment. If Li never does this well, what is the wavering military spirit? But it's much more powerful.

More than 30 regiments died, totaling more than 100,000 people. Although this pension is not a small amount, Li Cong can still get it out. Even the future benefits are no problem. People's lives are really gone. Li Cong felt that he had to give these brothers an explanation. If he couldn't catch the black hand behind the scenes, he would really feel sorry for these dead brothers. This happened when the guard team of the commercial bank was just formed. The purpose of this opponent is very clear, that is to give the Cao family commercial bank a blow, and now you have indeed given it, and this slap is still slapped Very loud, the following things may not be what you expected, you are very comfortable when hitting someone, but you should also understand that there is no cruelty in this world for no reason, and then you have to bear the consequences, Li Cong's anger is not something ordinary people can bear, it depends on whether you have the ability.

In the sky, there are twelve large airships with nearly 5,000 people quickly passing through this side of the world. On the land, there are thousands of SS soldiers three hundred miles behind them, and thousands of seventh-level fighters are riding Level 7 monsters are running fast. The running speed of monsters is definitely much faster than that of ordinary horses. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that these monsters have very good endurance. That's how they are. Running for several days is just a test of their strength, and there will be absolutely no loss. This is the difference between Warcraft and ordinary beasts.

Many people have also studied this matter, and now they basically understand what is going on. The main reason why these monsters behave like this is that when they are not moving, some of their body energy is stored in the magic core. And when it is time to use, the magic core can be released little by little. It is very simple for them to store energy. They can do it when they eat and sleep. Store it at night and use it during the day. This is a monster. A cycle of power is over.

That's what Li Cong thought when he brought so many strong men back this time. He must give his enemies a little bit of a kick, otherwise these guys definitely don't know how powerful they are, and they will probably make trouble for themselves in the future. For even bigger troubles, at that time, I may really be overwhelmed, so I must suppress the danger within a certain range, and the current range is within these dozen provinces.

Such a big move by Li Cong certainly cannot escape the investigation of all parties. The royal family of the Northern Empire is also very concerned about this matter, but Li Cong has already asked the little princess to go to the capital for activities, and the capital has already It is an expression of understanding. I hope that Li Cong can solve the matter within a limited range, and at the same time let the little princess observe the reactions of the major forces in the capital to see if this matter has something to do with them, if it really does. , that is also to kill them, no matter how huge and stubborn their opponents are. Since these guys have matched up with me, then we can't give them any face. It is said that when these guys want to rob themselves, why do they give themselves face.

The generals of the fifteen northern provinces of the Northern Empire immediately explained to the representatives of the Cao Family Chamber of Commerce that they were familiar with that this matter had nothing to do with them. Li Cong himself understands that these guys are not so courageous, so Li Cong accepts their explanation, but Li Cong can't forgive just one person. This guy is General Fengguo near the regiment where the accident happened. Nangong Yunting.

At that time, his own people had already told them this matter at the first time, but the answer given by Nangong Yunting was that their own army had just finished training. It has not been adjusted yet, and most of the people are on vacation. Li Cong's spies are not fools. They have indeed just finished training, but the vacation is the two things that disappeared before the incident, which means this The guy must be very clear about this place, he knows what will happen here. So I asked all my subordinates to take vacations, so that there is no reason to go to the rescue. This guy is still doing very well, and it seems to be secretive, but they are still not very big when they meet the investigation department of Cao's House. I can get past it. This is not found out.

Li Cong's first stop is also this place. Although the more than 30 regiments suffered heavy losses, but because of the different situations in different places, the place where Nangong Yunting is located is because of this guy. The local generals have more or less sent out some rescue troops, but this place has not sent anything, and they have used this reason all over the place. If I didn't take good care of this guy, it would be my own problem, but I usually gave this kid a lot of benefits, and I even played this for myself when something happened.

Most of the regular armed forces in a province of the Northern Empire are under the jurisdiction of the generals, and they are basically the third-rank generals of Fengguo. They have about a hundred thousand men, one-third of them are cavalry, and the rest are cavalry. They are infantry, and other than that, there are other yamen servants and people from various departments. Those people are similar in nature to the police, basically they don't have much fighting power, and they usually just maintain order. That's fine. Well, it would be impossible for them to go against the bandits.

Because there are more bandits in these dozen provinces, the imperial court also asked local aristocratic families to form some security groups. Their task is to fight against small groups of bandits. Raising them, the effect was very good at the beginning, but after hundreds of years of development, it will inevitably become bureaucratic. Not only some local aristocratic families are unwilling to raise them, even the imperial court is unwilling to have them. Well, dealing with the bandits is one defeat after another. It is useless at all. The money is still spent every year. Who wants to use such an army.

The security team in POIL province basically disbanded a long time ago, so this incident has nothing to do with them, and Li Cong doesn't want to have anything to do with them. It is a shameful thing to get involved with the security team in the local area, so Li Cong went directly to find this Nangong Yunting. Nangong Yunting joined the army at the age of fifteen, and after more than three hundred years, he stepped on his current position. The POIL province can be said to be the last of this kid. If you want to continue to rise, you must either have someone in the court, or you have the money to take care of it, or your strength can rise a little bit. If it can't be completed, it is estimated that everything can be pulled.

The governor of POIL province has a good relationship with the little princess. No, he rushed to greet Li Cong when he saw Li Cong. Li Cong is now the hereditary earl of the empire and the son-in-law. No matter what kind of status I have, I should come here quickly, and my old master is from the little princess's grandfather. If I don't take good care of me, I will have a hard time in the future. The men usually look down on a governor like themselves, but if they know that they don't respect the royal family very much, there will probably be many people who will come to trouble them at that time.

"My subordinate Gu Hongye pays respects to Lord Sir." Seeing Li Cong walking down, this guy hurried over to greet Li Cong. In terms of rank, the governor himself is also a third rank. This Li Cong's Earl is the Earl of Super Grade, and there is a big gap between him and others.

"Hehe, Mr. Gu doesn't need so many etiquettes. We are all friends. What I like the most is making friends everywhere. Mr. Gu must also be in the same way. In the future, we don't need the Sir to be long and short. That's right, just call the other party's name." Li Cong said with a smile, this Gu Hongye and Li Cong still knew. When I married the little princess, I gave him a lot of gifts, which can indeed be regarded as my own, so the money given to him over the years is much more than some governors around. It is said that this guy should I will accept it, who knows that this guy will always add some money back to Li Cong on his birthday or the princess's birthday, such a person is really rare, and you can see it Respect to the princess. I just need to take good care of this guy in the future. If it weren't for the need for this guy to be the governor, this guy might have been promoted a long time ago, and he himself is very clear about this matter.

"This is absolutely not allowed. The law of the court must never be neglected. Besides, the lord is my master and son. How can I offend the superior? It is okay for the lord to call me whatever he wants, but I I can only call you Sir." The guy said solemnly, Li Cong didn't say anything more about this issue, and nodded with a smile.

"My lord, my servant has already prepared a reception banquet in the Hongbin Building in the city. Please work a little longer, my lord, and condescend to have a glass of water and wine." Gu Hongye said. The carriage is already ready outside the door.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I ate a lot of things up there. The main reason I came here this time is because my convoy was attacked by bandits in Yuncheng Ridge a while ago. If I don't come here, I'm just asking Well, I don’t know who our general here is, I want to meet him first.” Li Cong said with a smile, and the people around him understood what he said, they didn’t come to eat, and there were quite a few of them There must be something wrong with Nangong Yunting during that meal, otherwise, would someone like Li Cong directly mention this guy's name on such an occasion.

When Gu Hongye heard Li Cong say this, he was really happy in his heart. Damn it, it can be said that he is depressed and unclear when he is this bird governor here. The general didn't get along very well with him either. After all, the governor or something was his subordinate, so he didn't dare to go too far, but the general was not the same as him, and they didn't belong to the same system. But he is irresponsible. In name, he is in charge of everything in the province, but he can't even get in with a single finger in those military camps. This guy is very strict.

"Huh? General Nangong didn't come today?" Although Li Cong knew the answer a long time ago, he still felt uncomfortable. Damn it, officials from all over the province, big and small, are here. This guy really knows how to beat himself. of face.

"Uh... my lord, calm down. This is how things are. General Nangong is not in good health recently, so he didn't come. Some things in our province have been rarely attended by General Nangong recently. This is General Nangong. Your eldest son, Nangongye." Gu Hongye didn't care about this matter, he just told his reasons, and then pushed out a kid behind him, this Nangongye was the eldest son of Nangong Yunting, If the old man does not come, if the boy does not come, then the officials and censors of the court will have something to say. It is a big deal to be charged with contempt for a superior official, so even if Nangong Yunting does not welcome Li Cong that He didn't dare not send someone to greet him. The difference in status was so big, and he didn't want Li Cong to find a chance. Now that his son came out, Li Cong had to follow the rules even if he was angry.

"In Xianan Palace, please greet the lord. The little father wanted to come. But because he couldn't get up, he didn't come. I also ask the lord to make amends. As long as the little father can get better One point, I will definitely go to the place where the Sir is staying to pay my respects." This Nangongye has the look of a slave, but this is only on the surface, and Li Cong can see it from this guy's eyes. This guy doesn't want to deal with him, you can tell by the look in his eyes. It's just perfunctory.

Li Cong glanced at this guy. It seemed that this kid was also in the officialdom. He just didn't know what position this kid was in, but he didn't seem to be a high-ranking official. He could find an official position for his son. not small.

"Hehe, bedridden? This is really seriously ill, but I don't know that some of my friends told me yesterday that your General's Mansion invited some singers from the Grand Hyatt Hotel to cheer for me. I don't know if this is the case. Are you using it, the eldest son, or your father?" Li Cong said with a smile. Since you want to make trouble for you, it is definitely a very simple matter. What Li Cong said is also true. The Nangong father and son are both lustful and hungry wolves. Everyone knows this. After hearing what Li Cong said From now on, everyone here will be happy as long as they have conflicts with Nangong's family. Let's see how you answer. If you say that your father is using it, your family is contemptuous of Shangguan. If you say you are using it, it is not filial. Although there are many men in the Nangong family, most of them do not live here, but live in their old home in the countryside. Now there are only these two men at home. Maybe you are responsible for these two crimes, and you two may enjoy them together. A few words can put your Nangong family in a lot of trouble. Dumbfounded, it was already done very covertly, how did Li Cong know this. He looked at Li Cong in horror, just like those people thought, and he didn't know how to answer.

No matter how I answer, there will be disasters. After much deliberation, I should sacrifice myself. After all, my father is the foundation of the family. Even if I lose my official title now, as long as my father does not fail, I am still a member of the Nangong family. Eldest son, who would dare to underestimate him? If he doesn't bear the charge, the entire Nangong family may have problems. At that time, there will be no eggs under the nest, and he is still a bad person. The ending, and there is no hope in sight.

"If you go back to my lord, it's the small ones... the small ones are used, the small ones are not human, the small ones are not filial, please make amends, my lord..." Nan Gongye is very bachelor, so he directly admitted this matter Yes, although there are many people like this guy in the entire POIL province, they did not admit this matter directly like this guy. You must know that this is a crime of disloyalty and disfilial piety But if he wants to ruin his life's future, if he is in the south where feudal ethics are more prevalent, this kid's head may not be able to keep his head. This is all possible.

"Hehe, since that's the case, Mr. Gu, I think this Mr. Nangong is still a gentry. It seems that such a quality cannot be found in the officialdom. Otherwise, how can we educate the common people in the future? How should the common people think of us? Our life is hard, where does this guy work?" Li Cong glanced at Gu Hongye and said.

"Returning to Lord Sir, this kid is working in the tax department of the provincial capital of ZXC. We already know about this matter, and we will definitely let this guy explain his affairs in the near future." Gu Hongye thought for a while and said, the place is not his The direct line is watching, and I can't talk about it too much. If I have the ability, I will tell this guy to go away. Obviously, Li Cong is not satisfied with Gu Hongye's answer. Damn, it's all here The level is too high, what do you need him to explain? Isn't this a fool? Naturally, he hurriedly told this kid to leave. The tax department is also an important place.

"Is the tax department here? How did you handle this matter?" Li never said dissatisfied.

"My lord, the small one is the tax department of ZXC County. The small one will definitely handle it impartially. According to the laws of our empire, such unfaithful and unfilial people cannot work in our yamen. This will affect our entire yamen. But if the influence is not good, the subordinate officials will also send this kid to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to learn some knowledge of etiquette, so as to save this kid from committing crimes in the future." Although the tax department is a member of the governor's yamen, at this time, anyone with a discerning eye It can be seen that there is absolutely no good future for this Nangong Ye. The governor next to him has already given him several winks, and he must handle this matter well. Absolutely can't let this fire burn on the governor's head. If this matter was in the past, it would definitely not be the current ending. You must know that the governor and Nangong Yunting are still in-laws. Now it seems that this relationship can't be used. up.

"Well, this handling is not bad. Mr. Gu, it seems that you still lack courage in doing things. In the future, it is best to learn from these people under you. As a governor, if you can't do things quickly and resolutely If it is not, it will have a lot of bad influence on some big things." Li Cong said to Gu Hongye, the old guy was also trembling all over, what happened, how did he burn the fire to his head? Earl, what does this mean? Could it be that the old man can't keep his seat? No way, this is just a trivial matter. Even if the Earl doesn't care about his own face, he still has to think about the princess's face, right? My filial piety these years has really been a lot.

"Since General Nangong's health is not very good recently. I think I have to go and have a look when I come here, otherwise it may chill the heart of the old general. Mr. Gu, take these people and walk behind me. Everyone here counts as one, so they can’t go out in advance. We all have to go and see General Nangong. Also, bring some of the best doctors in the city, and let’s go and see General Nangong. The empire guards the north, and if something happens to the body, it must be reported to the court quickly, how can the defense of the north be stopped?" Li Cong's words reassured Gu Hongye. It turned out that it wasn't directed at me. Those few words just now were just to beat me, to let me know who is my master, and I want myself not to hesitate. After what happened just now, Gu Hongye understood that he was There is no other way to go, you must be on the same line as Li Cong. Otherwise, my hat would be the same as that guy from Nangong.

The rest of the officials were all dumbfounded. They thought that Li Cong was just disposing of Nangongye to give the old man a blow. In fact, Li Cong is already very powerful now, and everyone was also given to him by Li Cong's disposal. I was taken aback. The most promising young people of the next generation of the Nangong family were cleared out by Li Cong in this way. It was already a very big blow to the Nangong family. I didn't expect that I didn't wait for everyone to comfort me , General Nangong has nothing to end with. Li Cong gave Nangong Yunting another idea that he must lose. Nangong Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, was also dumbfounded. It seems that his sacrifice did not gain any effect. Yes, this Li Cong is going to kill his family, and he can't have any good results.

"Hurry up, didn't you hear the Earl's order? Everyone followed behind, and asked several famous doctors in the inner city to go to the general's residence and check the general's body at any time." Gu Hongye At this time, I am much more positive. Anyway, my relationship with Nangong Yunting has not been good these years. If I can grasp this opportunity well, I may be able to expel this guy at once. It is true that you can call the wind and call the rain in the province, but to Li Cong, this is nothing at all. It is absolutely impossible for others to look at such an official. In their eyes, it is a fart. If you take the initiative, you may be the next one, and you must do it well.

All the officials were thinking about how to send a message to the general's mansion, but the provincial side didn't respond at all, and the stewards of the general's mansion were all watching the limelight here. I hurried to the general's mansion to deliver the letter, but the investigation department of the local Cao's firm is not an idiot. At this moment, there are a few rough guys watching by the manager's side. They call it bodyguards, absolutely They can't be allowed to do anything, in fact, they can't be allowed to escape.

Several well-known doctors in the inner city are treating their own patients. Why didn't they think that they shouldn't open the door today? If they didn't open the door, they wouldn't be involved in such a fight. Some of them are fine, the strong dragon and the local snake are about to fight, and I may be the one who is affected, I don't want to go, but look at these uncles in the governor's mansion, all of them are not very good If I say no, I guess my shop will be turned into a garbage dump by them, there is no other way. I still have to go, when the time comes, just take a step and take a look.

Nangongye is ready to die now. What's the matter with his own father? It can't be said that he is a tumbler in the officialdom, but he shouldn't make such a mistake. Why did he think about not sending troops out to Cao's firm? , he also knew afterwards that many of the bandits over there had died. When their army got there, they would at most clean up the battlefield or something, and there would be absolutely no danger. My own father took this wrong step, but caused the whole family to fall into a bottomless abyss.

The General's Mansion is located in the best position in the inner city of the entire provincial capital. According to the regulations of the imperial government, all the generals in office will live here. The official residences of some officials of the empire are basically like this, with the office in front The place behind them is the place where their officials live, so General Nangong is like this, but at this moment, General Nangong is not here. Li Cong looked at the door, waiting for the manager inside to come and tell him.

"Master Gu, I don't know how big the General's Mansion is? I think the managers have been there for half an hour. I don't think the General's Mansion occupies a large area. Why haven't they come out yet?" , does it mean that General Nangong looks down on my lord?" Li Cong said at the door, this General Nangong is in his other courtyard at the moment. At least twenty miles away from here, even if it is a fast horse, it will take a while, it is absolutely impossible to come back just like that at this moment.

"Returning to my lord, this official of the general's mansion has also entered before. It takes at most 20 minutes to walk from the front to the back. As far as I know, the place where General Nangong lives is in the middle. Now It’s enough to run twice at this time, and I haven’t come out yet, I don’t think it’s because General Nangong didn’t show face to the Lord, but it’s because General Nangong might not be in the mansion.” Gu Hongye said directly, and the others also saw the direction of the wind. Yes, the governor is about to break with Nangong Yunting. Otherwise, it would be impossible to say something like this at this time, which is really wicked, but there are definitely many people like this in the officialdom.

"My lord, I think this Nangong Yunting is contemptuous of the superior. After the subordinate returns, he will definitely be punished by the court for a crime of disrespect." The governor at the side stood up and said at this time, he can say to the lord There is no relationship. In the past, it was just to save face. Li Cong also knew the governor. Generally speaking, he was good. He took hundreds of thousands of silver from Cao's house and did a lot of things. Well, this kid really knows how to be a man. A governor plays a general. If this is true, the general's life is basically over.

Gu Hongye who was on the side was so angry, "Damn it, take part in your mother's f**k, is this what you should say? This is what I should say. From the beginning to the end, my lord never thought of asking you to come out." , Look at your fucking, it's up to you, why did you come out, why didn't I see you, what's the point of showing off now.

"My lord, the words of the governor are justified. This is too much. He even said that he couldn't get out of bed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with him. I will definitely sign this memorial of the governor." Although he came late A little bit, but Gu Hongye didn't want the credit to just go away, and Li Cong also knew that he had done his part.

"The lower officials seconded the proposal..."

"The lower officials also seconded the proposal..." For a while, more than a dozen officials stood up and said, no matter what kind of person this Nangong Yunting is usually, anyway, no one will speak to this guy at this time. I can't wait to tell about some of this guy's previous bad deeds, but in that case, my eating will be too ugly. The incident in front of me can already make this kid irreparable. If other things are involved If you don't, the colleagues around you will look at you in a different way in the future, which is definitely not worth the loss, and more and more officials will be involved in those things, and you will be outraged up.

Besides, it's one thing to submit a memorial, and it's another thing to approve the capital's reply. Although it's a matter of certainty, you can't do things indiscriminately without seeing the capital's decree. After discussing what to do, it means that someone in the capital came to protect him. After three to five years, he may be fine. At that time, he will be the one who suffers. When Nangong Yunting is most critical, he will be thrown into trouble. Life will definitely not be better.

"Well, since this is the case, my lord will not wait any longer. I will go to eat first. After the meal, I think the general should also appear. Master Gu, let's go." Li Cong smiled Said, but none of the people present can still laugh. This Li Congban is really terrible. How long does it take to step on it? After a meal, a general of the third rank will lose his black hat. Where is he? It may be necessary to wait for the reply from the capital, but this guy's son doesn't need it at all.

Cao's House has always given the impression that it is rich, but this time these officials have a new idea, that is, they are not only rich, but also their political struggles are also very good. If it weren't for some previous investigations, it would definitely not be so smooth. One of them is Li Cong's brain. If such a person is really in the officialdom, then the people here are probably not this guy's opponent. This kid is really very good. It's amazing, especially when the timing is really fast enough, one link after another, if this Nangong Yunting is not dead, I am really sorry for others.

"That's right, let's wait while we eat. Hong Bin Lou, everything is ready there, sir." Gu Hongye was also shocked at this time, although he knew that Li Lai's life in Nangong Yunting would be difficult. , but he thought that it would take a while. It wouldn’t take a few months, but it would take a few weeks. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, that guy’s black hat would be gone. It is really important to rely on Li Cong closely, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise, the current Nangong Yunting will be his own in the future. All the officials must think so too. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
