Yunzhou City, Duhufu.
Lin Ye glanced at Jiao Tianbao: "How is it?"
Jiao Tianbao chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's just a bit uncomfortable to have to pretend not to move all the time while walking back and forth."
Lin Ye asked: "Did anyone send him away?"
Jiao Tianbao nodded: "They have all been sent out. According to the general's instructions, everyone has been sent to their place of origin. We have also sent people to Dongbo to General Feng Xiu and to Zhuzhou to General Ning Haitang. They have all sent letters. Please The two of them spread the word in both places."
Lin Ye hummed: "That's good. You've just got a few days' rest when you come back this time. I'll ask Mr. Shi to announce the results of the case after a while, and then you can go back and continue leading the troops."
Jiao Tianbao chuckled: "Okay, my subordinate is really just lazy."
Lin Ye turned back and pointed at the people standing not far away: "Take them with you to be lazy. I will give you a month's special leave. You can collect money from military supplies and go sightseeing."
Jiao Tianbao stood upright with a snap and performed a standard military salute: "The general is mighty!"
Lin Ye led Jiao Tianbao towards a group of men over there. As they approached, Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "You have been working really hard these days and have been wronged. Go out with General Jiao to relax. After you come back, those who are willing to go to the cavalry camp can go to the cavalry camp." Camp, anyone who is willing to stay and serve as my personal soldiers will stay."
The group of men immediately became excited and stood up to salute.
Like Jiao Tianbao, he shouted at the top of his lungs that the general was mighty.
These men were all making trouble in the fields, and the two at the front were the first to fight that day.
One dressed up as a Dongbo person and the other dressed up as a Guzhu person.
It has to be said that the acting skills of these two people are indeed outstanding. The Dongbo people and Guzhu people present were deceived, and even the officials in the field were deceived.
Naturally, Lin Ye would not arrange for this kind of thing to be known to everyone.
The matter hasn't been done yet, but if many people already know the inside story, then it will be impossible to do it smoothly.
"I have already given orders for military supplies."
Lin Ye said: "This time we go out to relax, each of you can receive two hundred taels of silver. When you have spent it, come back. Whoever cannot spend it will be punished."
The men all laughed.
"For food and drink expenses, even for buying new clothes, I can go to the military quarters and report the money back to you with the receipt."
Lin Ye said: "So what are you going to do with these two hundred taels of silver? Do you understand?"
This time, the men laughed even more happily, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears.
Two hundred taels of silver can be used to make people happy. That is really fun.
"However, this matter must not be spread outside. Anyone who leaks it will be dealt with according to military law."
"yes!"
A group of people responded immediately.
Lin Ye said: "These two hundred taels of silver are what you need for your expenses. They come from military supplies. I personally give you another two hundred taels each because you have been wronged for helping me, and some of you have been tortured." Got a fight."
Lin Ye cupped his fists and said, "Being able to send all those refugees out of Yunzhou and solve the problems here in Yunzhou is a favor that I, Lin Ye, owe you all, and it will take more than a few hundred taels of silver to make up for it."
As he spoke, he actually bowed down.
At this moment, the soldiers all panicked and leaned forward to return the salute.
"Follow the general and he will never treat us badly."
Jiao Tianbao said: "You just take the money the general gives you. If the general asks you to have fun, then go and have fun. When the general needs us again in the future, everyone will use your strength even more."
"yes!"
Jiao Tianbao led the people to collect the money, and then they all went to change into casual clothes.
They left Yunzhou for a month of happiness. When they came back, Shi Jintang would also close the case.
This case needs to be settled, and it cannot be easier to handle.
Yu Lingwei handles these things with ease.
In fact, there was no need to wait a month. A few days later, the Yunzhou Prefectural Government issued an announcement.
Gao Yuanshi, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, took advantage of the opportunity to go to northern Xinjiang and bribed many Dongbo traitors along the way in order to frame the general Lin Ye.
Gao Yuanshi also forged official documents from the Sanbei Protectorate and asked the people he bribed to publicize the Jianghu Conference in Dongbo and Guzhu.
The purpose is to attract a large number of refugees to flow into Yunzhou, anger the local people in Yunzhou, and try to cause riots among the people in Yunzhou.
After this notice was posted, the people gasped when they saw it.
They would also think that if they really fell into the trap of those traitors and caused a commotion because of the Lord Protector taking in refugees from both places, the end would be miserable.
If someone is used to cause a riot, the imperial court will inevitably deploy troops to suppress it. At that time, everyone will be executed according to the crime of being a traitor. Is it unjust or not?
It was obvious that those bad guys wanted to frame the general, but it was the innocent people of Yunzhou who died.
Soon after the notice was posted, the people of Yunzhou were all scolding Gao Yuanshi, whom they did not know.
Shi Jintang also sent official documents to Geling about Yunzhou's affairs, and also wrote a secret report to the emperor.
Yunzhou Prefecture.
Lin Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Shi Jintang and asked, "Master Shi, what do you think we should do next?"
Shi Jintang said: "The person who wants to cause chaos in Yunzhou in the dark must have a back-up plan. However, his hand was severed by the Protector. We can continue to investigate along this severed hand."
"If you want to cause riots among the people in Yunzhou, there will definitely be a large number of people adding fuel to the flames."
Shi Jintang looked at Lin Ye and said: "A person who does things safely should have arranged these things in advance, so there will be people all over Yunzhou who have received his order and are ready to encourage the people of Yunzhou to cause trouble."
Lin Ye nodded: "Master Shi is still thoughtful. Since it was Master Shi who thought of it, then..."
Shi Jintang immediately shook his head: "I knew the Protector-General would do this... Obviously the Protector-General had thought of this a long time ago, and was deliberately trying to lure the subordinate to explain his words clearly, and then the Protector-General pretended to suddenly realize it. It's natural to leave the matter to the lower official to handle it, and the lower official will not do it."
Lin Ye said: "There is nothing so absolute in this world."
Shi Jintang: "If I don't do it, I won't do it. Even if the Protector-General takes a knife to force the official to do it, the official would rather die than do it. There are not enough manpower. Investigating this case will inevitably involve a lot of things, and there will be no time for it." ..."
Lin Ye said: "After Yu Lingwei's brothers arrived in Yunzhou, they actually didn't investigate any cases."
Shi Jintang said: "Master Protector must speak with conscience. They have indeed not investigated any cases, but they are not idle either. They eat less than an ox and do more than an ox..."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I mean, they haven't investigated any cases, so they don't have much money."
He looked at Shi Jintang and said, "You are good at everything, thoughtful and prudent, but you are a bit impatient."
Shi Jintang's eyes gleamed slightly: "What do you mean, Lord Protector?"
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I know that although your salary for Yu Lingwei is not low, it is far from enough to cover expenses, because during the investigation process, all the expenses are paid by yourself first."
"There are cases to be investigated. The more cases you investigate, the more benefits you can get from them. I am not saying that you are greedy, but I am saying that without these benefits, brothers will have thousands of difficulties in doing things... .”
He looked at Shi Jintang and said, "Actually, you know very well that the people to be investigated this time will not be officials. Even if there are, they will be very few."
He asked: "Master Shi will not be able to figure out the identities of the people who may be involved this time."
Shi Jintang nodded immediately: "If the person behind the scenes wants to cause chaos in Yunzhou, then those who instigate the people must be those wealthy businessmen. The bigger the business, the more likely they are to be involved."
Lin Ye smiled. Having said this, do you need to say anything more clearly?
Shi Jintang said: "To be honest with you, Lord Protector, the brothers of Yu Lingwei are indeed hardworking and poor. What your Lord just said is correct. The brothers spent all the money they spent on investigating and handling cases, and they will pay for it when they come back. "
"However, if the case goes well, that's fine. If it doesn't go well, then you will have to pay for it yourself. If you go back and forth, your salary will be all spent."
"But even so, none of Yu Lingwei's brothers will take advantage of the case."
He said seriously, and Lin Ye nodded and replied seriously: "You are right, I still know something about Yu Lingwei's brothers."
Shi Jintang said: "So, if your lord really needs the brothers of Yu Lingwei to investigate this case, as the governor of Yu Lingwei, as the governor of Yunzhou, and as your subordinates, the subordinates should do their best."
"Even if no one is available, even if one or two people are forced to squeeze out, I will unswervingly support the decision of Lord Protector and unswervingly complete the instructions of Lord Protector."
He stood up and stood solemnly and said: "No matter how difficult it is to get down, no matter how hard it is, no matter how short of people it is, the Lord Protector will not be disappointed in Yu Lingwei."
Lin Ye clasped his fists: "Master Shi, you are indeed the pillar of the country!"
The two of them haven't laughed yet, which shows that both of them are unusually thick-skinned.
Lin Ye said: "Since Mr. Shi has this determination, I feel relieved. Mr. Shi will arrange manpower soon. The sooner this matter is done, the better. Otherwise, the news will spread to various places and those people will flee. It’s not that easy to catch them.”
Shi Jintang said: "Sir, this matter involves a major treason case. I think that if we just dispatch some people to handle it, I'm afraid there will inevitably be oversights."
He said with a righteous and resolute face: "This matter should be investigated by the official himself. If the truth is not revealed and all the criminals who are treasonous and rebellious are not caught and brought to justice, I will be sorry for your majesty's cultivation. 2. I’m sorry for the guardian’s trust.”
Lin Ye: "This is a bit shameless."
Shi Jintang said: "I didn't want it just now either."
Lin Ye said: "At least you were covering up a little bit just now, but now you have written the word shameless directly on your face."
Shi Jintang said: "Master Protector, I am lowering my official rank to better fulfill your instructions, and better..."
Lin Ye: "It's passed."
Shi Jintang: "I'm also short of money."
Lin Ye nodded: "In the past two years, I have really tired you. Now officials from all over the country have arrived, and things are not as many as before. Are you willing to personally collect money... No, you are willing If you want to handle the case in person, go ahead, but it shouldn’t take more than three months.”
Shi Jintang immediately laughed: "Don't worry, Lord Protector. No matter how thick-skinned I am, I won't be content with hugging you for three months."
Lin Ye: "..."
