Although Shen Hao didn't believe in coincidences, sometimes some things were really unclear. For example, he had an affair with the family of Qin Wenhe, the previous right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, and wiped out the Qin family. Now there is a "Qin family" in the notebook in my hand.
The Qin family and Shen Hao didn't have any deep hatred, but it was a stumbling block that Shen Hao encountered after taking up the post of leader of the Black Flag Battalion.
During the process of integrating the Black Flag Camps from various places, Shen Hao once told the Jingbei Xuanqing Guards that they should make up for everything they had previously withheld from the Black Flag Camps. But so far, Jingbei Black Flag Camp has not received what should be completed.
Although this was not an exception at the time, it was a common phenomenon experienced by Xuanqing guards everywhere. Because the dual affiliations of the Black Flag Camp at that time were not clear, and they were under the jurisdiction of the Qianhu Department of Xuanqing Guards. At the same time, they were exiled to the desert for "dishonest" people, so the materials and other things allocated from above were exploited. .
But then the Black Flag Battalion started self-examination and self-examination. After completing the internal purge, it launched a vigorous purge of the Xuanqing Guards. At this time, the Xuanqing Guards from all over the place were very smart and repaid the arrears to the Black Flag Camp in batches. go back. But Jingbei Xuanqingwei was the only one who did not do this.
In fact, Jingbei Xuanqingwei had spread the word as early as the beginning of the purge, saying that they would return those things that had been withheld. But he said he wanted to pay it back, but in fact he kept delaying it, which made Lin Chen, the deputy commander of the Jingbei Black Flag Battalion, worried and worried. He asked Shen Hao many times in the hope that Shen Hao could put pressure on the Jingbei Town Governor's Yamen from above.
The governor of Jingbei Town is called Qin Mu, and Jingbei is basically the territory that the Qin family has been running for many years. Not to mention that it has a high influence in all aspects, not to mention that it can dominate the sky with one hand. The connections are deep-rooted.
There were actually a lot of reports about the Qin family in Jingbei regarding the internal purge of Xuanqing Guard, but in the end they were all due to insufficient evidence, or all the witnesses were dead, so even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't get started. So in the end it was settled. But in the end, Lin Chen, the deputy commander of Jingbei, still suspected that there was something wrong with the Qin family, and also raised the suspicion that it was conducting secret black transactions, pointing the finger at the Jingbei black market.
But regarding the black market, Lin Chen didn't have many suitable solutions, so she still asked Shen Hao to think of a solution from above.
Originally. The internal purge has passed, and for the time being, Lin Chen has no evidence of the Qin family's heinous crimes. Shen Hao does not want to continue digging. But the withheld supplies he had promised to help the Jingbei Black Flag Battalion had to be honored by Lin Chen, right?
So Shen Hao sent a letter to the Jingbei Town Fushi Yamen at that time, hoping that Jingbei Town Fushi Qin Mu would urge the people below to return the things that had been withheld from the Black Flag Camp as soon as possible.
In Shen Hao's opinion, this was a reasonable and honorable official letter.
The results of it? After the official letter was passed, it just fell into the sea. The Jingbei Town Fushi Yamen did not even make a ripple, let alone a reply to the letter. The things still haven't been returned. It was as if nothing had happened.
Is this... so disrespectful? Shen Hao was very surprised. Because it stands to reason that other places have returned the deducted items, so this can be regarded as selling face to the Black Flag Camp, and it is not considered a loss. But Jingbei just won’t pay it back. What does this mean? Deliberately playing tricks on the deputy commander Lin Chen, and giving Shen Hao some color in disguise?
is this necessary?
As a result, after a few days of Shen Hao's surprise, the reply from Jingbei came belatedly. If it hadn't been signed by Qin Mu, the envoy of Jingbei Town, Shen Hao would have thought that this reply was maliciously instigated.
Although the words in the reply were gentle and meant to be discussed, after reading it through, it didn’t quite click: Because the Jingbei Xuanqing Guards and the Jingbei Black Flag Camp had many conflicting ideas, the Xuanqing Guards on the lower line were opposed to the Black Flag Camp. The opinions were so great that they created resistance. Therefore, the layers of reluctance caused the delay in what should have been allocated to the Black Flag Camp. It is hoped that the Black Flag Battalion commanding office can consider the actual situation and make corresponding personnel adjustments to maintain the harmony of Jingbei Xuanqing Guards.
To put it simply: If you want something, you can change it.
Who to replace? Naturally, it was Lin Chen, the deputy commander of Jingbei Black Flag Battalion.
Lin Chen was absolutely ruthless, and it was his ruthlessness and the estrangement with the local Xuanqing Guards that made Shen Hao finally choose him to stay in Jingbei.
Now someone is actually trying to use a batch of supplies from Jingbei to force Shen Hao to replace a deputy commander? !
Is this a brain failure? Still dozed off and didn't wake up? Otherwise, why would you have the guts to do such a thing? What is the reliance?
Shen Hao didn't waste much effort, and soon found out a piece of news, that is, the eldest grandson of Qin Mu, the governor of Jingbei Town, was engaged. It was said that the person opposite was a newly rising prominent family, and the leading figure in the family was called Lu Liang.
Who is Lu Liang?
Not long ago, Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng discussed related topics about the vacancy of the Left Prime Minister. The analysis said that the current Right Prime Minister Cao Guobang should transition to the position of the Left Prime Minister. The purpose is to help the emperor occupy the position of the Left Prime Minister and wait for the emperor's cronies to accumulate enough qualifications. Then give way.
Among the emperor's current cronies, the one who stood out the most was the conspirator when he was the prince, and the conspirator at that time was Lu Liang. At this time, he was serving as the judge of the Central Academy of Sciences.
So the Qin family has climbed onto the high tree of the future left prime minister? Coupled with Qin Mu's status as the governor of the town, why was he so stubborn in forcing Shen Hao?
So even if you have confidence. What's the reason? You can't just dislike Lin Chen, the deputy commander of the Jingbei Black Flag Battalion, right?
At this point, Shen Hao thought about the matter carefully, and once again picked up the official letter that he had previously thought was written by someone with a broken brain and read it several times.
Finally, Shen Hao realized that he had underestimated the Qin family before. People want to replace Lin Chen, a person who is familiar with Jingbei and has no dealings with Jingbei Xuanqing Guards, but the target is not the Black Flag Battalion itself. Maybe they are just protecting themselves.
Even the previous internal purges were not blamed on the Qin family. This was either because the Qin family itself was clean and there was nothing wrong with it, or they were trying to keep themselves clean so that outsiders could not see their filthiness.
After combining several aspects, Shen Hao started to think: Do you want to take advantage of my Black Flag Camp and drive my people away from Jingbei so as to ensure the special status of your Qin family in Jingbei? Okay, then let's just talk about it.
Only then did Shen Hao ask Feilong to collect information about the Qin family in the Jingbei black market.
Now that the entire black market of the Jingjiu Dynasty is in Feilong's hands, the benefits for Shen Hao are self-evident. As long as you want to operate in the black market, you basically cannot avoid his eyes.
Shen Hao did not rush to open the copper bars to look at them, but directly put them away and started another conversation to ask Feilong about the situation and difficulties of the black market.
"Sir, if you are young and can bear it, you will definitely not let the black market fall into the hands of others!" Feilong said very forcefully, and his face was full of anger, which was quite imposing. But how could Shen Hao not know about this guy's quality? This is not a tough guy, he just looks like it. Once things are impossible, this guy is not the kind of person who will fight to the death.
So Shen Hao said with a smile: "I will ask Heishui to help you prepare a batch of talismans and magic weapons, and use the route of the border army to deliver them to you under the guise of smugglers. Anyone who dares to be aggressive will use the talismans to smash him to death!" "
Feilong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he thanked him quickly. As a result, he has much more confidence, and he is secretly cruel in his heart. When he gets those things, he must make those dishonest guys look good...
