Li Zheng rubbed his chin, still smiling: "In other words, I can only be a rich man in Beixi County?"
Qin Tianhu raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that enough?"
Li Zheng laughed and decisively borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "That's enough, that's enough. I trust Qin Taiwei's sincerity and Qin Feng's ability. Within a month, I will gradually transfer the military power in my hands to Qin Taiwei's hands." How about here?"
Qin Tianhu readily agreed. After all, shortening the war that should have taken several years to one month was already the best result. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, Li Zheng has been operating this land for half his life and made countless money. Naturally, It takes time to transfer the wealth he accumulated to Beixi County one by one.
After Li Zheng left, Zhao Yulong walked in through the curtain and made a decisive suggestion: "Master Taiwei, after Li Zheng has handed over the military power, it is better to kill him directly to get rid of this scourge."
"I have been patrolling around during this period, and the people here have been tortured very miserably by him."
Qin Tianhu picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, took a long breath, and said seriously: "Yu Long, if you want to achieve great things, you must not only have courage, but also magnanimity."
"Li Zheng is indeed a bastard. He not only plunders the people's wealth, but also supports Li Yong's rebellion. No matter which crime he is accused of, he is enough to be chopped alive."
"But if we really kill him, our credibility will be completely destroyed. Who will dare to negotiate with us in the future?"
"Don't lose big because of small things. Always consider the overall situation in everything."
Zhao Yulong has a sense of justice and wants to eliminate harm for the people. Qin Tianhu can understand this. It is for this reason that Qin Tianhu feels that Qin Feng has not misjudged the person.
However, on such a big issue of right and wrong, you must not act out of emotion. Even if you know that Li Zheng is a bastard, you must protect him.
If Qin Feng were present, not only would he not adopt Zhao Yulong's suggestion, but he would also bribe Li Zheng at any cost.
Money is not important, human life is important.
In a real fight, how much money is burned is secondary, but how many people die is the most important thing!
"Yulong, is there a Jinyiwei messenger with us?"
Facing Qin Tianhu's inquiry, Zhao Yulong blurted out without even thinking: "Of course there is."
"Not just the Jin Yi Guards, there are twenty Tianji Camp guards, twenty dark martial guards, ten Jin Yi Guards, and five messengers around Lord Taiwei, secretly protecting His Majesty Zhou Quan."
Hearing this, Qin Tianhu was amused: "Why do we need to fight like this? With you by my side to protect me, nothing can be done easily."
Zhao Yulong shook his head repeatedly with a firm look in his eyes: "This is what Brother Qin meant, and at first only the Jinyi Guards secretly protected Lord Taiwei. Since something happened to Brother Qin, twenty more Tianji Camp guards were dispatched."
Qin Tianhu raised his eyebrows: "Something happened? What happened!"
Zhao Yulong was afraid that Qin Tianhu would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "When the Tianji Camp guards came to help defend, I told my nephew that Brother Qin had attacked the Jinyi Guards."
"I heard that he directly stabbed Liu Ming, the captain of the Anwu Guards, and ordered Mo Li to resign. At the same time, he also drastically reduced the power of the Jinyi Guards."
"For this reason, the crown prince Li Zhang thought Jin Yiwei had rebelled, so he was so nervous that he directly sent a message to his nephew to be careful."
After learning the whole story, Qin Tianhu raised his head and laughed, his eyes bright, full of pride for Qin Feng, his son.
"Hahaha, Feng'er, Feng'er, you are really decisive in your attack!"
"Well done!"
"There is no need to question Jin Yiwei's loyalty, but it is a spy organization after all. Even if it is not directly given power, its power will grow uncontrollably. If we don't cut the knot quickly and weaken Jin Yiwei's power, it won't be long before Jin Yiwei will Became the Black Captain we are today."
"By the way, is Liu Ming okay?"
Zhao Yulong shook his head and wrote lightly: "It's okay. Brother Qin used the knife in a measured manner and did not hurt any vital parts. In addition, he has many medical doctors with him, so Liu Ming is fine."
Zhao Yulong's answer confirmed Qin Tianhu's speculation that Qin Feng had no problem attacking Jin Yiwei!
On the contrary, Qin Feng's maturity and ability have exceeded Qin Tianhu's expectations. Even if it were Qin Tianhu, he would not be able to handle the matter so purely. It is really better than the old.
At first, when Qin Feng rushed to Beidi, Qin Tianhu was still a little worried, but by this time, this worry had disappeared.
If even Qin Feng has no ability to protect himself, then no one can save him from fire and water. On the contrary, is there anyone in this world who can really pose a threat to Qin Feng? Qin Tianhu couldn't help but raise a question mark in his heart.
At the same time, construction has started in Changshui County.
Under the influence of the county magistrate's wife, Chen Tian has agreed to cooperate with Qin Feng, and made Qin Feng promise that no matter what happens in the future, he must protect his family, otherwise something goes wrong, Qin Feng pats his butt If he leaves, Chen Tian and his family will be dead.
The local people had almost no hesitation or resistance to Qin Feng's employment, and were even very proactive. The people were also particularly motivated to work.
Several people were carrying the lumber to the site, chatting among themselves.
"I have never seen anyone like Marquis Qin in my entire life."
"Don't say it's you, I haven't seen it either. This is really for the sake of our people!"
"Hahaha, with the Marquis of Qin in charge, even the Wu family, which has always been domineering, has to tuck its tail between its legs."
"More than that, this winter has been extremely difficult. The conditions offered by the Marquis of Qin have simply saved lives. The most unbelievable thing is... before starting work, the Marquis of Qin actually distributed half a month's worth of food for everyone to use. As he spends his days, he is simply a living Bodhisattva."
"Hehe, I am willing to work for the Marquis of Qin, even if I am exhausted!"
Just as everyone was talking about it, an inconspicuous carriage slowly drove into Changshui County.
Logically speaking, anyone who can ride in a carriage must be at least a wealthy gentry or a country hero. In order to show their status, they must decorate the carriage in a luxurious manner.
But the carriage in front of me was very strange and looked quite shabby.
Can you afford a carriage, but don’t have the money to repair it? What exactly is going on?
While the people along the way were puzzled, a few idle ruffians from the city stopped the carriage.
They looked at the carriage up and down, their expressions full of amusement.
"Hey, Xinxing, this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a broken carriage. Could the person inside be a poor person?"
"Since you're down and out, there's no need to pretend to be dignified. Just get out of the car and walk."
"That's right, you have such a good character, how can you pretend to be a wealthy person?"
"These days, the government officials are busy and have no time to pay attention to such trivial matters. Our brothers took the initiative to take over the important task of collecting tolls for the county government. Hey, hey, if you want to pass here, you need to get two taels of silver first!"
