Chapter 260
After traveling day and night for three to five days, Yan Qing and his party arrived in Mocheng.

Without rest, Yan Qing went straight to the Mocheng Defense Department after entering the city.

"Yo, Master Yan, welcome from a distance, welcome from a distance!"

The chief envoy of Mocheng looked at the group of people who broke into the defense department in a hurry. After being shocked, he quickly stood up and came forward, "Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, and this official will let people prepare for the reception banquet to clean up the dust for your Excellency."

"Master Li, please stay."

Yan Qing called Li Kaide to stop, took out the letter of appointment and handed it over, "Master Li accepted it with kindness and sincerity, so the reception banquet will be skipped. There are still things to be done after the Qing Dynasty, please deal with the appointment quickly."

Li Kaide took over the letter of appointment and read it, a little hesitant, "Your Excellency came in a hurry, and there is no preparation for the next official. It will take some time for the succession. Why don't you arrange a place for the adult to stay first, and then..."

"Uncle Li, don't worry about this."

Guo Jia came up from behind Yan Qing and interrupted Li Kaide, "When General Yan is in Mocheng, he will temporarily live in my father's other courtyard in Mocheng. As soon as the business is needed, you can take care of it. Uncle Li will go first. According to what the general said, the matter of taking over will be settled properly."

As he said that, Guo Jia also emphasized, "As soon as possible."

Li Kaide looked at Guo Jia in surprise, then turned his head to look at Yan Qing, and immediately nodded with a solemn expression, "Then I won't be too polite. I would like to ask Mrs. Yan and Miss to sit down for a while, and I will go to serve you right now." My lord handles the succession."

Li Kaide held Ren Shu, and after ordering his subordinates to serve tea, he hurried out of the main hall and went to the side courtyard.

After two cups of tea were refilled, Li Kaide hurried back to the main hall with a group of people holding files and ledgers.

"Master Yan, this is the information on the replacement of ordnance, the mobilization of troops, and the deployment of city defenses in Mocheng in recent years. Please have a look."

Li Kaide signaled the people behind him to put things on the table at Yan Qing's hand, and at the same time handed over the letter of appointment with the official seal, as well as related vouchers and deeds to Yan Qing, "The letter of appointment and dismissal has been signed and backed up, and you keep this letter of appointment .In addition, this is the official seal of Mocheng Ten Guards Tiger Talisman, Mocheng Weapons, Food and Military Depository Transfer, etc., please take a look at it.”

Yan Qing glanced at the copywriting materials at hand, raised his hand and pushed towards Guo Jia, "I'll leave these to you, Ms. Lao Guo has taken care of it."

Li Kaide was shocked again, and looked at Guo Jia in a daze.

Guo Jia, however, didn't delay for a moment. He reached out and picked up the files and ledgers to look through them, without raising his head, he assured Yan Qing, "Just rest assured, the general. Three days later, Jia will sort out the details in detail. appropriate."

Yan Qing responded, took another tiger talisman, and handed it to Hong Zhuang, "The Dongci Guards of Mocheng are under your command, set out immediately to get people, ask Yan Qi for the list."

Hong Zhuang took the tiger talisman, turned around and recruited someone to lead the way, and then hurriedly left the defense department.

"There is still something to go to the government office, the Ministry of Food and Beverages and other details, Mr. Li and Ms. Guo can discuss it."

After saying that, Yan Qing got up to leave.

Li Kaide, who was stupefied by her arrangement, finally came to his senses, and hurriedly called Yan Qing, "Master Yan, please stay!"

"What else is there for Mr. Li?"

Li Kaide looked at the red makeup who was walking away, and then at Guo Jia who had asked someone to take the pen and ink to sort out the account books and files. He wrinkled his face and said hesitantly to Yan Qing, "I... I don't know why my lord is in such a hurry? This ration, military register, city defense Deployment is the most important thing in the defense of the border town, if you don't see it yourself, I'm afraid—it's not right."

Hearing this, Yan Qing smiled, "Lord Li, please be at ease, Qing knows the seriousness."

"Miss Guo is now Qing's adjutant. The so-called employment is not suspicious, and the logistical matters are entrusted to Miss Guo. Qing can rest assured."

Yan Qing smiled and explained to Li Kaide, "As for what Qing is busy with, it is related to city defense. For details, you can ask Ms. Guo. This matter is urgent, and Qing will stay soon."

"See you."

After finishing speaking, Yan Qing hurried out of the defense department and went straight to the opposite door.

Li Kaide stared blankly at Yan Qing walking away, wanted to stay but dared not stay, turned to look at Guo Jia, wanted to ask but dared not.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, this matter will be resolved within three days at most."

Guo Jia buried her head in the writing, but she seemed to have seen Li Kaide's doubts, "As for the deployment of the city defense and the change of troops and horses, the general has his own plans, you can wait and see. Our general is not mediocre. .”

"If Uncle Li had any dissatisfaction and doubts about Jia's handling of military equipment, money, food and other logistical matters, Jia would answer with General Yan's words—there is no doubt about the employment. The general believes that I have the ability to use me. After three days, Jia is not capable of this, so no one needs to say more, she will definitely get out of the way."

Li Kaide was choked by Guo Jia's words, so he could only nod embarrassingly and accompany him, "Missy has been taught by Lord Hou since she was a child, and she has both talents and talents, and the lower officials dare not question it."

Guo Jia smiled, held a pen and raised his head to look at Li Kaide, "Uncle Li, go and get busy with your own business, and let me borrow this place for a few days."

"Eh!"

Li Kaide nodded in response, and just as he turned around, he realized that this seemed to be his office.Lend it to Guo Jia, where will he go?

But when he turned his head and saw Guo Jia who had plunged headlong into the documents, he couldn't open his mouth to push people away.

Well, he can move by himself.

Li Kaide made up his mind, packed his things lightly, moved to the next door for a temporary stay, and told the people under him not to disturb Guo Jia, and then continued his official duties for another day.

It's just that he was holding the pen, but his heart was not very strong, and he couldn't help but guess what happened today.

Three days later, the answer to the mystery was revealed, but he was so shocked that he almost lost his footing.

Dong Ciwei's soldiers entered and exited the yamen on the opposite side of the gate several times. On the execution ground in the west of the city, row after row of heads were chopped off, but it didn't make people frightened.

No one could have imagined that in their peaceful and stable days, there are still so many dissatisfied people behind them, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country for a little profit, and wanting to trade other people's safety for their "future"!
Guo Jia also sorted out the gaps in the account books and files provided by Li Kaide three days later. After comparing them with the seized stolen goods and the black ledgers found, he calculated the actual amount of materials that flowed out, and became The last straw for those involved in the smuggling case.

The person involved in the case confessed to the crime and only asked for a chance to save his family's life.

"Since you still know your parents and family, why did you do such a heinous disaster?"

Guo Jia put away the confession of the person involved in the case and questioned it in a deep voice.

Some people lowered their heads, repenting at the beginning; some people did not admit their mistakes and uttered nonsense.

However, there were also people who sneered and laughed, "Power is oppressive, advancing is a sword, and retreating is also a sword. In this world, how can we and the common people have no choice?"

Guo Jia took a deep look at the man and accepted the pleadings without saying a word, but when he got up to leave, he turned around and said, "The world will change."

The man was slightly startled, and when he looked up, Guo Jia had already left.

 Happy New Years Day, babies!In the new year, I wish you all peace, joy and good health.
