The control group of the ancient heroine

Du Ke was thinking about how to answer the emperor's words, and directly replied to the emperor, you are wrong. This is a very suitable word. But the thing is, in Du Ke's eyes, this matter is not a bad thing. At least Qin Fang has solved the matter without harming the innocent woman among the robbers, and all the evidence has been obtained. As long as Qin Fang has solved the matter. Deal with the bandits and the county magistrate, and return the money left in the bandit's den to the people, and the emperor's reputation will inevitably increase. So here in Du Ke, this matter couldn't have been more perfect.

However, it was the emperor who asked the question. Even though the emperor would be generous and careless, as a minister, he still had to say nice things. Du Ke became the emperor's confidant and secretly joined forces before the emperor seized the throne. Naturally, he was smart.

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 best thing is that the matter has been solved, so it is a good thing. Therefore, the emperor's answer is From Wei Chen’s point of view, it’s half right and half wrong.”

oh? Du Ke's answer aroused the emperor's interest. He smiled lightly and looked at Du Ke: "This is rare. Hearing such an answer from your mouth shows your attitude and measures to solve this matter. , I’m quite satisfied, you just didn’t tell me, I guessed wrong.”

Du Ke said solemnly: "Wei Chen Dare."

The emperor hummed: "Yes, you should tell me what happened."

"According to the decree." Du Ke continued, "Does the emperor still remember Qin Fang at the Yongzhou border military camp?"

"Qin Fang?" Huang 껗 thought, "Is it the Qin Fang who proposed to resettle the surrendered barbarians in small pieces?" There is indeed an impression, mainly because this happened a long time ago.

Du Ke said: "Yes, this matter is also related to Qin Fang." The emperor had an impression. Listening to the emperor's answer and expression, it was still a wrong impression. That is a good thing. "General Qin took three thousand surrendered barbarians on foot to Yunxiang County for resettlement. By the way, he was transferred to Yunxiang County's city guard general. When passing through Huanshui County, two major events happened."

The emperor asked, his expression unpredictable: "Huanshui County? I remember that Huanshui County is quite wealthy." It takes three days to ride a horse from Huanshui County to the capital. The distance is far and short, but from Qiguo's location Judging from its location, it’s pretty good, so it’s considered a good county. "What? This is a relatively wealthy county, but two major events have happened? I haven't received a memorial from Huanshui County."

There was no cabinet in Qi State. Except for the memorials of generals that went through the Ministry of War, the rest of the memorials went directly to Tianting. In other words, if something happens in Huanshui County, the memorial will be sent directly to the emperor and then pass through the chamberlain area. The memorials are divided into emergency situations according to the different colors. Then the emperor started reviewing the memorial from the urgency level.

Du Ke: "The first thing is that hundreds of the three thousand barbarians brought by General Qin fell ill. This disease is a contagious cold. After the onset of the disease, the patients will cough, have a headache, and feel general weakness. Although it is contagious, But if you take the medicine on time, there is no life-threatening. Now General Qin has isolated the patient from healthy people. However, the time from onset to recovery is longer, about a month. If you take the medicine every day during this month, The cost of medicinal materials alone is quite small.”

What is the emperor most afraid of? Common people are most afraid of getting sick, and so is the emperor. The emperor can afford a doctor...놊, he has an imperial doctor, he has medicinal materials, but he is the same as the common people. Common people are afraid of spending money when they are sick, and he is afraid of death when they are sick.

When the emperor heard this, he felt irritable. Although infectious diseases were the same as plague and smallpox, they also made him irritable. Fortunately, Qin Fang has been under control and is still in isolation: "Have you confirmed it with the imperial doctor? Are you sure it's just an infection and will it be fatal?"

Du Ke replied: "Wei Chen went to the imperial hospital after entering the palace and confirmed with the imperial doctor. Nowadays, this disease is more common in spring every year. However, every year, people who have no money to buy medicine die from it. This kind of disease also exists.”

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

Du Ke's heart tightened, and he spoke righteously: "The barbarians have just surrendered to us. If hundreds of people die at once, once this matter is spread to other barbarians, only those barbarians who are watching will dare to If you surrender again, even other barbarians will be worried. 놊However, General Qin has already settled this amount."

At this time, the emperor was surprised: "How did Qin Fang solve it? Did he pay for it himself?" He thought someone would do this.

Du Ke said: "This is the second thing I want to say, and it is also a more serious matter. It affects the reputation of the imperial court and... your Majesty's reputation."

As soon as Du Ke said these words, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the imperial study room disappeared, and the emperor's face became serious: "What's going on?" Things that affect the reputation of the imperial court and his personal reputation are absolutely allowed by him to happen. .

Du Ke said: "The magistrate of Huanshui County colluded with the bandits, General Qin..." He told everything once, and then believed in Qin Fang's letter, which also contained the testimonies of many bandits.

The emperor's letter, Qin Fang's letter, of course there is no problem, if there is any problem, Du Ke will also hand it over. After passing the letter, the emperor said softly: "He would actually think of writing to you."

Du Ke tried to figure out the meaning of this sentence, and he explained: "General Qin has just been promoted to General Wude, and he probably knows the rules of the court. At the beginning of March, I went to the Yongzhou military camp and was familiar with him, so he wrote this letter to me." Adding the word "yes" also shows that he is very clear and sure about Qin Fang's actions, and can rule out the possibility that he and Qin Fang colluded.

The collusion between civil officials and military generals, even if it is to frame the prince, is what the emperor wants to see. Du Ke knew this very well, so he explained himself. However, he also knew that the emperor would be suspicious, after all, what was Qin Fang's background? Grassroots, no backdoor, no backing, and was promoted this month. With such an innocent identity, no one would suspect him. What's more, he is so wise?

But the emperor's suspicion is one thing, and he still has to show his attitude as a minister.

The emperor smiled and said, "This Qin Fang is interesting. It's fine to suppress bandits, but since he wants to take the money of the three provinces as military pay and use it to build the military camp in Yunxiang County, this is like the Marquis of Yonghe."

Du Ke smiled and did not answer.

The emperor said, "It's good to be like this. If everyone is as 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 floods. Why don't they learn from Qin Fang to suppress bandits and make money?"

Du Ke continued to smile. How could he answer this? Saying that they are afraid of death and dare not suppress bandits? "Then did the emperor allow him three times the money?"

The emperor said: "Just give him one, and the extra money is the reward from me." In other words, it belongs to Qin Fang privately.

However, the emperor did not lose. This money was earned by Qin Fang from suppressing bandits. Originally, he intended to keep it for the people of Huanshui County. Now he has earned one, which means that the people only get 60%.

However, since it was a reward from the emperor, Qin Fang could naturally take it.

Three days later

"General... General, come back soon." Tao Shan rushed inside as soon as he arrived at the bandit's nest. The rain stopped and the weather improved. The healthy ones still lived in the brigade camp, while the sick ones were transferred to the bandit den.

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

Qin Fang was free these days, waiting for Tao Shan to come back. It took six days to come and go, and he was anxious. He was mainly afraid that the county magistrate would suddenly come. But there was some surprise. After a few days, the county magistrate didn't send anyone. Maybe the bandits and the county magistrate rarely contacted each other except for the stolen goods.

Qin Fang finally waited for Tao Shan to come back. Seeing Tao Shan, who was exhausted from the journey, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Did you deliver the letter to Du Ke?"

Tao Shan smiled honestly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The letter has been delivered to Du Ke. I brought back Du Ke's letter and the emperor's edict."

Qin Fang knelt down immediately to receive the edict after hearing it. Tao Shan respectfully asked for the edict and handed it to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang received the edict and said to Tao Shan, "You go and have a good rest first."

Tao Shan: "Yes."

Back in the house, Qin Fang first read Du Ke's letter. Du Ke wrote in the letter that he would come to Huanshui County the next day. Because he was not as fast as Tao Shan in his trip as an imperial envoy, he asked Tao Shan to bring his letter and edict first. At the same time, Qin Fang was also asked to detain the county magistrate after receiving the imperial edict, and the next thing would be discussed after he arrived. In addition, the letter mentioned that the emperor promised to use three taels of stolen money as his military pay, and reward him with one tael of stolen money as his return.

Qin Fang was very happy to read this letter. After counting the silver of the bandits, there were a total of 50,000 silver taels, and the remaining jewelry and other things were counted. If he was rewarded with one tael, it would be at least 5,000 taels of silver.

Qin Fang seemed to feel the white silver flying. It turned out that... suppressing bandits was the fastest way to make money.

The door of the house suddenly opened, and Qin Fang came out with the imperial edict: "Come."

Soldier: "General?"

Qin Fang: "Hurry up and count the number, everyone follow me to the county to capture the county magistrate."

Soldier: "Yes."

Half an hour later, all the soldiers gathered at Wulipo, 200 soldiers from Qiguo, 300 soldiers from Manzi, a total of 500 soldiers were all here.

Qin Fang stood in the front, holding the imperial edict and said: "The emperor has ordered us to capture the county magistrate of Huanshui County, everyone is ready to set off."

"Yes." The neat voice was very loud. There are three hundred silver coins of military pay these days, and the soldiers have eaten several meat meals, so they are in high spirits at this moment.

Huanshui County Town

The county magistrate therefore paid attention to the Wulipo bandit den. First, they rarely contacted each other, and only contacted each other when they were stealing money. Because they contacted each other frequently, it would be good if they were discovered. Second, he was also busy recently, and the Feng family clinic made him very irritated. There was no way to deal with the murder case hastily, not to mention that everyone saw it.

Inside the county yamen

The county magistrate glared at Doctor Feng who was sitting on the side: "How many times have I told you that you don't want to test the medicine on the people, you want to test the medicine on the people, why didn't you listen? Now it's good, three people have died, what if the families of those people are not safe?"

Doctor Feng smiled with concern: "When you first took the money, you looked so straightforward, I thought you were just talking and didn't care about testing the medicine on the people."

County magistrate: "You... but now it's dead."

Dr. Feng thought so: "The lives of those lowly people are already low, not to mention that they are all from extremely poor families. If you give them a little money as compensation, they will care about these lives."

The county magistrate made a noise: "Why don't you tell me about the past few days? You almost got someone with status involved? If the headhunter hadn't asked the other party to leave directly, then it might not be a good idea to involve unrelated people in this matter." ”

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

The county magistrate: "I'm warning you for the last time, don't test medicine on ordinary people, otherwise..."

"What else?" Dr. Feng asked back, "Are you ready to break up?" He also had one more question to ask, county magistrate, do you dare? I just didn’t say it out loud.

But why didn’t the county magistrate know what he meant?

At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in front of him, and the head catcher rushed to the door: "My lord... My lord is not good."

The county magistrate shouted in the room: "What's wrong? What's going on?" The anger that had not escaped Doctor Feng's body was directed towards the arrester.

The head catcher said: "Someone claims to be General Wude. He has come to arrest you with orders. He has already surrounded the county government."

The county magistrate was stunned, but he said loudly: "How dare you, General Wu De, you are so brave. I haven't even heard about the imperial court. Who dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict?" With that, he strode out of the room. , "What kind of bullshit general is that?" In front of others, he is the magistrate of Qingguan County. Only in front of his own people does he show such "true temperament".

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

땤At this time, at the gate of the county government office, Qin Fang was standing there majestically in the uniform of a military general. He is tall and has a resolute and stern complexion. Coupled with his many years of border service, his skin color is darker than ordinary people. As a result, he didn't speak or smile, just like a warrior god. Although he is not an official and does not have much official authority, through this suppression of bandits, his arrogance has grown and his official authority has gradually increased. In front of the people in the county, he is very good at putting on a show. Besides, he upholds the imperial edict and has a feeling of reward in his heart. This is the time when his spirits are high.

Therefore, when others come to see you, this is a great general.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"This is the general. All generals wear clothes like this."

"Why did they close the county government office?"

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

"Could it be the county magistrate who committed the crime?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, you don't want to get into trouble."

"That's it, just do it. Don't say anything nonsense."

"Be gentle, the trouble comes from your mouth."

While the common people were discussing, Qin Fang said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, please be quiet. Your county magistrate is colluding with officials and bandits. My general is here to arrest him under the order of the imperial court. The imperial envoy will arrive soon."

"What? The county magistrate is colluding with bandits?"

"Isn't this possible?"

Someone bold asked curiously: "General, are you talking about the bandits in Wulipo?"

"You don't want your life, how dare you mention the bandits in Wulipo?"

"Just mention it, they can still kill you in front of the general."

"Those unlucky people who killed Wulipo should have been caught long ago."

"If we had caught them early, there wouldn't have been so many people in trouble."

Qin Fang said: "Yes, they are bandits from Wulipo, the county town."

After Qin Fang's recognition, the people started talking again. "Let's just say it. Every time the county magistrate says he can't arrest people without evidence. It turns out it's a collusion between officials and gangsters. The county magistrate will definitely benefit."

"Bah, why should the county magistrate arrest such a person?"

Among the crowd, a woman quietly left. She ran home as hard as she could. After turning left and right in the county town, she came to a dilapidated hut: "Mother... mother... open your eyes, old man." 꽭Finally opened my eyes 깊.”

A blind old lady came out of the dilapidated hut, with a little girl supporting her. The old lady asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?" Her voice was full of nervousness and nervousness. This hoarse voice was not caused by her crying, but by crying.

The woman said: "Mom, a group of officers and soldiers have just arrived from the county. They are not county government officials, but officers and soldiers from the army. The leader is 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 court. He also said that everyone should not worry, the imperial envoy will come soon, and we will go find the mother now. General, please seek justice for us."

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

The woman said: "Are we going to let our husband die with his eyes open? And the imperial minister is coming. If that beast kills people and silences him before the imperial minister comes, what will we do? In other words, what will we do if the beast kills people before the imperial minister comes?" If I run away in front of you, won’t I be able to catch him forever and avenge my husband?”

When the old lady heard this, she immediately said: "You are right. We will go to the general immediately and ask him to avenge us."

The lady then said: "Mom, go by yourself. If you Ju'er doesn't go, you hide here. If the general doesn't redress his grievances and instead colludes with that beast, then you can leave him alone and run out. here."

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

The old lady said: "Go and find the general to redress your grievances. You, Ju'er, hide it. My daughter-in-law, you are old and don't have a long life. If you follow Ju'er, what will happen to you?" It will hurt her. But you are different, you are still young, and I feel at ease when you take care of Ju'er."

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

The old lady shook her head: "My heart has been decided. You can send your heart to the general, and then find a place to hide it yourself."

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

The county magistrate of Huanshui County is a thin man with not much meat on his body. No wonder no one suspected that he was colluding with officials and bandits, because he was too thin, couldn't afford meat, and was in poor condition. If officials and bandits collude, the county magistrate must be rich and must eat and drink a lot. Such a person should be obese.

땤The county magistrate in front of me looks like a man who doesn’t have enough to eat. If he hadn't known the truth from the bandits, he would have been deceived by his tricks.

While Qin Fang was sizing up the county magistrate, the county magistrate was also sizing up Qin Fang. The man in front of him did not appear to be old, but his tall body carried a solemn air that made the county magistrate swallow his saliva. He had no doubt that the other man could crush him to death even if he pressed him. However, the county magistrate, as a local snake, has experienced ups and downs. He even dares to cooperate with bandits, let alone General ‌? He said coldly: "Who are you? If you dare to pretend to be a court official and break into the county government office, you are committing a major crime against the 깊诛깇 clan. If you retreat quickly, I can still intercede for you."

Qin Fang was too lazy to talk to him. When he saw him coming out, he said directly: "Come here, tie him up with this general. If you dare to struggle, just remove his limbs."

Captain Yang: "Yes."

The county magistrate felt a chill all over his body. When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why. Shouldn't the other party explain his identity to him at this time? Then he would continue to question his identity to buy time, and then find a way to escape. However, the person in front of him was obviously different from the person he planned. Without saying a word, he sent someone to kidnap him. What was going on?

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

Colonel Yang mocked: "When I was killing the enemy on the battlefield, you were probably still fighting against the common people. Stop me. I don't know how much blood my sword has seen. How dare you come?"

Speaking of which, Lieutenant Yang was not a gangster, but when he spoke now, he really looked like a gangster. I don't know if he did it on purpose.

The head catcher took a few steps back. To be honest, he just wanted to dominate in Huanshui County. He didn't dare to fight with these people who had been on the battlefield.

Colonel Yang said again: "Our generals are here to arrest corrupt officials under the order of the emperor. If you are wise enough to surrender, you can still suffer a little. If you are ignorant and want to die in vain, you are asking for it."

The government officials who were originally blocking the way of the county magistrate immediately got out of the way.

Lieutenant Yang immediately led his men to arrest everyone who should be arrested.

Qin Fang waited in front of him, watching Colonel Yang show off his power. At this moment, a cry came from the crowd: "General, you are wronged... General, you are wronged..."

The crowd moved aside, and the one who shouted that she was wronged was a blind old lady. She walked forward with a cane for a few steps, and then knelt directly on the ground: "General, the old woman was wronged..." Because she didn't Knowing where Qin was placed, he knelt down directly.

Common people ‌‌ old lady, and ‌‌ Qin Fang. Qin Fang was also a little confused. This was the first time he met someone who complained about him.
