102, Chapter 102

Qin Fang quickly stood still: "Doctor Li, what are you doing?"

Doctor Li's behavior was discussed with his daughter. So when Qin Fang asked, Doctor Li said directly: "General Qin, the common people want to ask General Qin to take him in. If something like this happens to the daughter of the common people, if she continues to stay in the county, it will inevitably attract rumors. What will she do then? ? So Cao Min wants to take her away. But Cao Min is not familiar with other places, so... doesn't General Qin want to accompany him? General Qin thinks Cao Min and his daughter are like each other. "Of course, follow?" Qin Fang is not the only way out. He can also take his daughter to find a life elsewhere.

But where can we not start over? It would be better to follow the General Qin he knew. At least through getting along with each other these days, he can also see that General Qin and his wife are good people. It is safer to follow such people. Otherwise, if he goes to another place and he is older, what if he has a son and a daughter and leaves behind a daughter? Following General Qin's words, he hoped that General Qin, for the sake of his efforts during this period, would be able to protect his daughter if something unexpected happened to him in the future.

Qin Fang didn't think too much. If Dr. Li was willing to follow him, he must be willing, even if it was only this way. What's more, those who are sick still need Dr. Li. So he said: "Of course, I can't ask for it."

Doctor Li and his daughter were relieved when they heard Qin Fang agreed so readily. Originally, they were worried that General Qin might feel embarrassed and unwilling to keep them in Miss Li's situation. It seemed that they were overthinking it.

In fact, they did think too much. Qin Fang never thought about Miss Li at all. To put it bluntly, what does Miss Li have to do with Qin Fang? Does he want to do this?

"General." Lieutenant Lu was looking for Qin Fang. Unexpectedly, he saw him just after he went out. "General, the testimonies of the bandits are all here. These beasts did not expect to have done so many evil things. That county magistrate should be beheaded."

Qin Fang read the testimonies of the bandits, and the more he read, the more he frowned. It's really easy for these people to remove their hands and feet.

Colonel Yang said: "General, the bandits have colluded with the county magistrate. Now the bandits have been caught by us. If the county magistrate sends someone over and discovers something fishy, ​​I'm afraid they will alert the snake."

Qin Fang nodded: "You immediately send someone to guard below Wulipo. Once someone comes here, if they are ordinary people, that's it. If they are from the county magistrate, they will be detained directly."

Captain Yang: "Yes."

Qin Fang said to Lieutenant Lu again: "You go find someone, and I will write a letter right away. You can ask someone to deliver it...to Mr. Du Kedu of the Minister of War's Mansion. Forget it, call Tao Shan and let him Go deliver the letter." Qin Fang thought that he didn't know anyone in the capital, and the only one he could consider "friendship" was probably Du Ke. After all, his transfer was brought about by Duko, and he could barely have anything to do with Duko.

In addition to the conversation at the border, he recommended Han Zhen. When Du Ke proposed Wei Wu, Du Ke also listened to his opinion, which made him feel that Du Ke was not the kind of unreasonable person. So when there was no one in the capital, Qin Fang decided to write a letter to Du Ke.

Lieutenant Lu: "Yes, I will go find Tao Shan immediately."

Speaking of which, this was Qin Fang's first time writing a letter to his boss. He is a military commander, and Du Ke is the Minister of War, and he is considered his immediate superior.

Naturally, this letter was not just about writing about the county magistrate. He had to explain the condition of the brigade, military pay, and the situation of suppressing bandits. However, Qin Fang also kept an eye on it. He did not include the money for suppressing bandits. He only wrote that 30% of the money collected for suppressing bandits was used as military pay, and 70% was left for the common people.

Three days later, Qin Fang's letter was quickly sent to the capital.

Tao Shan came to the capital for the first time. After many inquiries, he found the Du Mansion.

The Du Mansion is heavily guarded. As the Minister of War, Du Ke naturally has many military secrets in his study, so the guards of the Du Mansion are very strict.

When Tao Shan arrived at the door of Du Mansion, he was still a little nervous. He patted the letter hidden in his arms and then got off his horse: "Brother, I am the private guard of General Qin Fang, General Qin. General Qin was ordered to take The surrendered barbarian went to Yunxiang County for resettlement. When he passed by Wulipo in Huanshui County, something big happened. I have a letter from General Qin to Lord Du, and I also asked this elder brother to inform Lord Du. "

The guards of the Du Mansion were obviously very well-behaved. After hearing Tao Shan's words, they said: "Your Excellency has not returned from his duty at the Ministry of War Yamen. Please wait a moment and I will report it to the housekeeper."

Tao Shan: "Thank you very much, big brother."

Not long after the guard entered, a middle-aged man came out. He looked at Tao Shan. Seeing that Tao Shan was dusty, he invited Tao Shan in and asked the guard to go to the Ministry of War Yamen to invite Du Ke.

This year is the first year that Jinshang ascended the throne. The country is named Changping, and Changping lasts for one year, so there are a lot of things in the court. Especially last year, Jinshang was the direct descendant, and the purge of the court was not that fast. Therefore, Du Ke, the Minister of War, is also really busy.

At this moment, Du Ke was reading the information when he heard someone coming to report at the door: "Sir, there is a guard from your house coming to the door, saying that there is something important."

Du Ke still has great trust in the steward of the Du Mansion. If it is something that cannot be solved or is really important, the steward will not send someone to the Ministry of War Yamen to find him, so it must be an important matter. "Let him in."

"yes."

The guard followed in, greeted Du Ke and said, "Sir, a guest came to the house just now. He claimed to be the personal guard of General Qin Fang, General Qin Fang. He brought a letter from Lord Qin saying that he had something important to see you. He also said that when General Qin took the surrendered barbarians to Yunxiang County for resettlement, and passed by Wulipo in Huanshui County, a big thing happened. "

Du Ke was stunned at first. He was not impressed enough by Qin Fang, a martial general. The guard's words filtered through his mind before he remembered Qin Fang.

What happened when Qin Fang passed by Yunxiang County must be related to Yunxiang County. Although Qin Fang is a general of the fifth rank with military virtue, he has no permission to interfere in the affairs of Yunxiang County. But if it is an ordinary matter, he is of the fifth rank, and the county magistrate is only of the seventh rank, so he will not fail to give him face. Therefore, being able to get Qin Fang to send a private guard to deliver a message shows that this matter is not simple.

Du Ke immediately went to bed.

As soon as Du Ke arrived at the mansion, he said, "Where is General Qin's personal guard? Bring him to the study to see me."

Tao Shan was immediately taken to the study.

To be honest, Tao Shan was very nervous when he entered Du Ke's study. When he saw Du Ke, his legs were shaking. There was no way, it was because Du Ke's official authority was too great. This kind of overwhelming aura was that of the famous man in front of him today, and was better than everyone Tao Shan had ever seen in his life. Even when I saw Yonghehou in the military camp, I was not so scared.

Tao Shan knelt down directly and said, "Tao Shan, a common man, has met your Excellency."

Du Ke didn't show off to Tao Shan either. How could he show off in front of a private guard? "Where is General Qin's letter?"

Tao Shan immediately took out the letter from his arms.

Du Ke accepted the letter and first looked at the beeswax of the letter. It was intact and had Qin Fang's private seal on it. Then he opened the letter, and when he read the contents, his face turned dark.

Du Ke has seen countless big things in his life, and no matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than following Jinshang to seize the direct line. However, when he saw Qin Fang's letter, he became truly angry. The county magistrate and the bandits colluded with the common people. No matter where this matter was placed, it would be depressing.

The county magistrate represents the court and the emperor's face. If the county magistrate colludes with the bandits, wouldn't it be a slap in the emperor's face?

Despite being angry, Duko couldn't help but laugh. This Qin Fang is a bit interesting. When the military pay was gone, he would start plotting against bandits, but he unexpectedly got involved in such a big thing.

Speaking of it, Qin Fang's behavior reminded him of a person. In the early years, Marquis Yonghe wiped out all the bandits in Yongzhou, and all the stolen money was used as military pay. Some of them also knew about this, but they did not expect that Qin Fang would appear now.

Speaking of which, using the stolen money from bandits as military pay is equivalent to giving the stolen money to the court. After all, the military pay is owed by the court.

However, Qin Fang was better than Yonghe Hou, Qin Fang only took 30%. If it were Yonghehou, that treacherous old guy, he would definitely take them all.

Du Ke was a little curious, why did Qin Fang give him this letter? It stands to reason that Qin Fang can directly submit the memorial?

Du Ke said to Tao Shan, "Follow the housekeeper and take a rest. When I make arrangements, you can bring back my letter to General Qin."

Tao Shan: "Yes, listen to your Majesty."

It was naturally impossible for Du Ke to hide such a major event in Yunxiang County, and he would enter the palace immediately.

imperial study room

It rained for several days in some areas of Qiguo. It was not a big deal if the bandit of surrendering barbarians led by Qin Fang had influenza. Floods broke out in some places and dams collapsed, and there were riots in some places. Floods are a big deal.

In the past two days, the emperor's head has been very troubled because of these things.

Some rumors even spread in the capital, saying that the emperor's title to the throne he had obtained from his legitimate son was unfair, and God couldn't stand it anymore, so it rained to punish him.

Of course, someone had spread these words, but as the emperor, after hearing these words, even if he knew that someone had spread them, he would still inevitably think that he really had an unfair reputation for the throne. Isn't it right?

"Report to your Majesty that Mr. Du Kedu, the Minister of War, has something important to see you."

The emperor stopped reading the memorial, patted the table gently, and then said: "Let him come in."

Du Ke entered the imperial study: "I am here to see the emperor. Your Majesty, this time I am..."

The emperor interrupted Du Ke: "Stop, let me guess, your coming this time is definitely not a good thing, is it?"
