Zhang Ruoyu also thought of one thing. He heard that the relationship between Liu Deqing, the general soldier of Shandong Province, and Lin Ruonan, the governor of Shandong Province, was also very poor. It is said that Liu Zeqing moved to the Fangcao in Linqing. During this period, he suffered a lot under Lin Ruonan's hands, and he withdrew. This is Lin Ruonan's obstruction. It seems that Liu Zeqing also had the motive and ability to commit a crime, There are really few people in Jinan who can kill all the more than 50 people in the governor's party at one fell swoop, and have not left any clues.
With ability and motivation, you can almost know who did it.
However, the water in it was too deep. Zhang Ruoyu would not sink himself in, so he did not hesitate to report the matter to governor Lao Yongjia.
Lao Yongjia, since he became governor, basically did not stay. After going through the formalities at the Ministry of household, he went directly south and arrived in Jinan to live a happy life.
Lao Yongjia has been in his 60s and 50s and has been an official for decades. If he can become the governor and retire, it will make him very beautiful, because the governor is the order of the imperial court. The local senior officials dispatched by the imperial court are among the best, which makes him become a Beijing official before he leaves office and have great face when he retires.
Now he had nothing else to think about. He wanted to get back two or three hundred thousand silver when he was governor, and retire with clean arms and beautiful scenery.
Therefore, since he became governor, he came back to Jinan mansion. Every day, he basically put out wine to celebrate, received gifts, ushered in and gave accommodation. As for official business, he didn't do it at all, and he said in a good name that this is Xiao Guicao's obedience and inaction.
When the magistrate Zhang Ruoyu reported such appalling news to him, he was basically shocked. More than 50 people in the line of the dignified governor were robbed and killed outside the provincial city hall, and they were still on his territory, which made him mouth all over his body and could not tell clearly.
Lao Yongjia was shocked for a long time before he settled down and said, "quickly send officers and soldiers to the scene to search and see what evidence there is."
Zhang Ruoyu said, "it's already done, but it's snowing heavily. It's so cold that the bodies have frozen stiff. We have transported the bodies back to Yizhuang and are preparing to deal with them."
Lao Yongjia said: "at present, are there any witnesses at the scene, who did it? There is no evidence left?"
Zhang Ruoyu said to him, "at present, nothing useful has been found. The body was found by a passer-by. After he found it, he immediately returned to the post station and reported to the local post office."
Lao Yongjia sat down on the ground and sighed, "I'll stop!" he knew one thing, that is, since such terrible events had happened on his ground, it meant that he couldn't get rid of the relationship. If it was about the starter, there were many contradictions and conflicts between him and Lin Ruonan, and there were motives for the crime.
However, Lao Yongjia immediately picked himself out. I didn't do it. Can I be fooled if I do it? Another possibility is the commander in chief. There has always been a contradiction between the commander in chief and the governor. He is capable of killing the governor.
When Lao Yongjia thought of these things, he immediately said, "send someone to ask the chief soldier to pass the house for discussion."
As the governor, when he gave the order, naturally someone rushed over immediately to do business for them. Soon someone invited Liu Zeqing to his house. Liu Zeqing had heard some news before leaving the general military house, so he felt a little shocked. At the same time, some felt that the yellow mud in his crotch was hard to explain.
But he has nothing to worry about. He didn't do it himself. What's to be afraid of? Can you plant dirt for me? I've been in the general military house for a long time.
Liu Zeqing couldn't get out of the general military house. That's because he sent someone to attack the old house of liujiafu mountain. The whole army was destroyed and he was afraid of retaliation, so he has been hiding in the military camp. However, he knows that today's Liu family has extremely strong strength, which is extremely terrible.
More than 500 elite servants of his family went to sneak attack. As a result, only his brother Liu ZEWANG came back with several people and was seriously injured. Only his brother survived, which made their hearts cold. In particular, Xu Jianqiang, who protected him all the way back, crossed a river when he fled with his brother Liu ZEWANG on his back in the ice and snow, As a result, the lower part of the body was soaked in water. After landing, the following gadgets couldn't be used.
Because of this, Liu Zeqing was furious and prepared to kill his family. However, seeing Xu Jianqiang so miserable, he knew that he was not a traitor, but he was discovered by others, which spared Xu Jianqiang.
But after eating this huge dumb loss, he realized that what he was facing was not a big fat pig, but a fierce tiger. If you dare to make his idea, it will be eaten by him at any time.
Seeing this, they hid in the general military house and couldn't get out. He also knew that the relationship between him and the Liu family was completely broken. He only said that only one person on both sides could fall down, so he kept hiding in the general military house for fear that the other party would murder him.
As a result, such a thing happened. It can be said that this thing happened on the ground of Jinan government. He had nothing to do with governor Lao Yongjia.
Sure enough, Lao Yongjia immediately asked him to unite his troops to hunt down the bandits and block all intersections without error.
Liu Zeqing was very embarrassed. He said, "it's so cold and snowing that it's unrealistic for people to block all the intersections outside. You say the bandit is not stupid. He doesn't run away after doing such a big thing. When will he stay?"
Lao Yongjia said angrily, "don't you do anything? Do you just watch the governor be killed and do nothing? And watch the bandits go. It's easier to leave traces in the snow. You can catch up with them according to the traces. At least you can know where the opponent fled? Who did it?"
Liu Zeqing said unhappily, "we are just an army of officers. We are responsible for protecting the place, not investigating the case. It's very inappropriate for you to let us wait to do such a thing."
Lao Yongjia said, "where's the bullshit? What's not suitable? As the commander in chief, you are responsible for guarding the side. If such a thing happens under the rule, and you dare to push it clean, you're not afraid to write to the imperial court to participate in you."
Governor Lao Yongjia was angry, and Liu Zeqing was forced to be helpless. He had to order his troops to go and block the scene and the surrounding areas.
But even the old people's attitude, not to mention the attitude of their subordinates, is based on the idea of not contributing to work. Now they want to go to the wild to pursue the murderer and kill the enemy in a cold day. Who has such a mind, not to mention asking everyone to carry out these things similar to military operations. They don't give you an extra meal and see that it's almost time for dinner, They drove people out of the barracks, which made the soldiers complain.
Liu Zeqing's more than 500 servants were killed, which greatly damaged his vitality. The only thing he wants to do now is to re recruit servants and return to the level of that year, which means a lot of money and grain investment. The wool comes from the sheep, so he has to deduct his military pay, and the deduction is even more severe.
In his words, it's good to have a fire at home on such a cold day. You don't have to eat. Just sleep in bed. Therefore, the soldiers are hungry and soft. They want to go to the field to carry out the blockade mission. All the soldiers complain.
Lao Yongjia shook his head when he saw these soldiers. He could expect these garbage soldiers to fight. They all looked yellow and thin, and their legs were soft, just like they had never had a full meal.
At present, the military system of the Ming Dynasty is extremely corrupt. That is, whether an army is elite or not depends on whether he has enough to eat. If he can eat enough, he is elite.
Liu Zeqing's troops perfectly explained this.
In addition, it is said that thousands of soldiers from Dengzhou will pass through here, but after hearing about the Deng uprising, these soldiers hurried back to Dengzhou to assess the rebellion.
In this way, apart from Liu Zeqing's troops, they have no available soldiers here in Jinan. Originally, governor Zhu Dadian trained his Fuying camp after several years of training, and there are also hundreds of servants, but now he is also the governor of Fengyang, responsible for the most dangerous activities to eliminate the roving bandits.
As a result, he took away all the model soldiers of the auxiliary camp. As a result, he left an empty shelf for Lao Yongjia, which made him very angry. However, at that time, Lao Yongjia thought that he implemented inaction, and it was useless to have so many soldiers. Who knew that when he wanted to fight, he knew that there were no soldiers available when he wanted to use them. He couldn't help but sigh: he had suffered from maintaining soldiers for a hundred years, and there was no useful soldier in battle.
Moreover, Liu Zeqing sent his elite troops to look for the enemy and blockade the border, but he still hid in the general military house and indulged in pleasure. Like these jobs without any oil and water, he had no interest at all. He just handed them over to his deputy general Liu ZEWANG. He enjoyed life in the general military house, drank wine and comforted the beauties in the house.
This made Lao Yongjia very angry. He personally came to the commander-in-chief's house, scolded Liu Zeqing loudly and said, "don't you really want to do it? That's your attitude."
Liu Zeqing was drunk. He arched his hand to the governor and said, "it's not that the humble position is unwilling to cooperate fully, but that the imperial court has been in arrears with military pay for several months. It's the so-called emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers, and his brothers are hungry. How can we fight?"
Lao Yongjia said to him, "when did the imperial court deduct your military pay? Don't talk nonsense."
