"I'm talking about the second thing, which is also the debt owed by the Tian family in your mouth." Hong Chengchou stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting looked straight at the tea cup in front of him. ,
Hong Chengchou continued: "Do you remember Qi Jiajun?"
Sun Chuanting nodded.
I had already vaguely guessed what Hong Chengchou was going to say.
"It seems that you have also thought of it. Do you want me to continue?" Hong Chengchou asked.
Sun Chuanting shook his head with a wry smile.
"Do you think the imperial court did such a thing to the Qi family army? Even if it sounds nice in name, after these generals have experienced this, how much trust do they still have in the imperial court?" Hong Chengchou said.
Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe the imperial court also has its own difficulties!"
"You may have difficulties as you please, but justice is in the heart." Hong Chengchou said, "Your situation is not very good now. Dai County has long been a place with the Tiger Flag. Your background and this incident have determined that you cannot When you return to the court, it is impossible for the court to trust you. I am afraid that the people who least want you to appear in the court now are Fu Zonglong and Wang Chengyin."
Sun Chuanting opened his mouth and finally sighed: "I know."
"Then have you thought about what you will do in the future?" Hong Chengchou asked.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting took a look at the furnishings in the room and said, "What else can I do! I will be locked up here for the rest of my life. When you get tired of it, you can just kill me with a knife in the neck and end your life."
"Is it possible that Boya's ambition is willing to return to the earth like this?" Hong Chengchou asked.
Sun Chuanting looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "I know why you came to see me these two times, but I will not disobey. Even if the court fails me, I will not let the court down."
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou felt that Sun Chuanting was a little disrespectful. He said so much from the bottom of his heart, but he was still as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit.
I had the intention to just ignore it, but when I thought that this was a task assigned by the master, I felt unwilling to do so.
After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Well, I won't advise you. From today on, you will stay with me, eat and live with me, and you will watch from the sidelines whatever I do, and you will tell me after a while. It’s up to you to decide how to arrange it when the time comes.”
"If you take me with you, aren't you afraid that I will learn all your stuff and pass it on to the imperial court in the future?" Sun Chuanting said.
Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Since I let you see it, I am not afraid of what you will tell the court. I even hope that you can tell the court in your mouth about all my actions next."
Sun Chuanting stared into Hong Chengchou's eyes.
He found that Hong Chengchou looked at him without flinching.
This made him start to think, wondering if Hong Chengchou was really not afraid of what he would see.
"What? I don't dare anymore!" Hong Chengchou said excitedly.
"Okay, I will follow you next to find out all the things that your Tiger Flag has to do to deceive the people, so that I can expose your lies in the future." Sun Chuanting nodded and agreed to stay with Hong Chengchou.
He had long been fed up with being locked in a room and not allowed to leave every day. If he hadn't been able to say a few words to the guard outside the door, he would have gone crazy.
"Then it's settled." Hong Chengchou stood up, glanced at Sun Chuanting's smelly clothes, and said, "You can wash yourself well later and change into clean clothes. Someone will take you to my place then. "
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside the house.
Now that he is the top decision-maker of the Tiger Character Banner in Huai County, there is no problem in having Sun Chuanting by his side.
After returning from Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou went directly back to his signing room.
It is easy to conquer Laizhou, but if you want to turn Laizhou into your own place with the tiger character flag, you need more time to sort it out.
Whichever family owns the fields in Laizhou needs to be reorganized before they can be divided. Moreover, to the west of Laizhou is Qingzhou Prefecture. Today, nearly one-half of Qingzhou Prefecture is still in the hands of the imperial court. No one can I can’t guarantee whether Qingzhou will implement the new agricultural policy in Laizhou.
Suddenly causing trouble.
In addition, there are some large local squire households who will not be willing to give up their own interests and will definitely fight back, so they must be prepared in advance for safety and stability.
"The vassal, Sun Chuanting has brought us here."
A guard outside the door came in to report.
Hong Chengchou raised his head and said, "Bring people here!"
The guards retreated.
Soon, Sun Chuanting was brought in.
"You sit down first and wait for me to finish what I'm doing." Hong Chengchou said to Sun Chuanting, and then continued busy with what he was doing.
The signing room where he worked was much larger than the room where Sun Chuanting was detained.
Sun Chuanting looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and finally his eyes fell on a map behind Hong Chengchou.
Looking at the map, he walked around the desk and chair where Hong Chengchou worked and came to the map.
Hong Chengchou just glanced at him, stopped paying attention, and continued to deal with the matters at hand.
Sun Chuanting looked at the map in front of him and did not move for a long time. His whole body was attracted by the map. Even if time passed, he could not take his attention away from the map.
"Do you like this map?" Hong Chengchou turned sideways and said to Sun Chuanting after finishing the business at hand.
When asked, Sun Chuanting said without looking back: "How did you get this map? I have been in Shandong for so long that I have not been able to find such a clear map."
"Our people drew it themselves." Hong Chengchou said casually.
Sun Chuanting stretched out his hand and touched the map gently, and said: "The imperial court was not unjustly defeated. I think it's not just Shandong, but other places have also been mapped by you!"
"I'm not a general leading an army, and I don't know very well." Hong Chengchou did not answer directly.
Sun Chuanting said: "After coming to Shandong, I also found several maps of Shandong, but unfortunately they are not as clear as you. It seems that you have really put a lot of effort into Shandong."
"You are also the one who leads the army in the war. How could the army not prepare something as important as a map? And many maps in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have not been changed for many years, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes." Hong Chengchou said.
Sun Chuanting sighed: "Yes, even with such a flawed map, it is not easy to get a complete one."
"Let's not talk about this. You haven't eaten yet. Let's go and take you to taste our food." Hong Chengchou stood up from his seat and called Sun Chuanting to eat.
Sun Chuanting reluctantly looked away from the map and followed Hong Chengchou out of the pledge room.
There is a special canteen in the yamen.
When it comes to food, Tiger Flag has always treated everyone equally, and will not use public funds to prepare a table of delicious food for you just because you have a high official position.
If you want to eat well, pay for it yourself.
Being an official in Huzi Banner also comes with a salary, and Hong Chengchou naturally also gets a salary.
However, he didn't want to be too different, so he ate food from the dining hall most of the time, and with his salary, he couldn't eat and drink every day.
It is simply impossible to eat like the way I used to eat when I was an official in the Ming Dynasty.
