Chapter 260
Acting vigorously and resolutely
After traveling day and night for three to five days, Yan Qing and his party arrived in Mocheng.
Without resting, Yan Qing went straight to the Mocheng Defense Department after entering the city.
"Hey, Mr. Yan, you may miss us from afar, but you may miss us from afar!"
The chief envoy of Mocheng looked at the group of people who had entered the Defense Department in a dusty state. He stood up in shock and came forward to greet them. "My lord has been working hard all the way. I will send someone to prepare a reception banquet to wash away the dust for you."
"Master Li, stay."
Yan Qing stopped Li Kaide, took out the letter of appointment and handed it over, "Master Li accepts it with kindness and sincerity, so this reception banquet will be omitted. There are still things to do after Qing, please handle the appointment matter quickly."
Li Kaide took the letter of appointment and read it with some hesitation, "Your Excellency came in a hurry. There is no preparation on Xiaguan's side. It will take some time to take over. Why don't you first arrange a place for Your Excellency to stay, and then..."
"Uncle Li, don't worry about this."
Guo Jia came up from behind Yan Qing and interrupted Li Kaide, "When General Yan was in Mocheng, he would temporarily stay in my father's villa in Mocheng, and Jia would take care of all the affairs. Uncle Li should go first.
According to the general, let’s deal with the matter of taking over properly.”
After saying that, Guo Jia also emphasized, "As soon as possible."
Li Kaide looked at Guo Jia in surprise, then turned to look at Yan Qing, and immediately nodded with a solemn expression, "Then I won't be too polite. Please sit down for a while, Mr. Yan and the eldest lady. I will go and do the service right away."
Your Excellency will handle the matter of taking over."
Li Kaide held Ren Shu in his hand, ordered his men to serve tea, and then hurriedly left the main hall and went to the side courtyard.
After two cups of tea were refilled, Li Kaide hurried back to the main hall with a group of people holding files and account books.
"Sir Yan, this is Mocheng's ordnance replacement, troop mobilization, and city defense deployment in recent years. Please take a look at it."
Li Kaide motioned to the people behind him to put things on the table next to Yan Qing, and at the same time handed the appointment letter with the official seal, as well as relevant certificates and deeds to Yan Qing, "The appointment and dismissal letter and other documents have been signed and backed up. Please keep this appointment letter."
.In addition, this is the official seal of Mocheng Ten Guards Tiger Talisman and Mocheng Ordnance, Food and Military Treasury Transfer, etc. Please take a look."
Yan Qing glanced at the copywriting materials at hand, raised his hand and pushed it towards Guo Jia, "I'll leave these to you, Miss Lao Guo has taken care of it."
Li Kaide was startled again and looked at Guo Jia blankly.
However, Guo Jia didn't delay at all. He reached out and picked up the file account book and started looking through it. Without raising his head, he assured Yan Qing, "General, just don't worry about the matters within your duties. In three days, Jia will sort out the details."
appropriate."
Yan Qing responded, took another Tiger Talisman of the First Guard, and handed it to Hongzhuang, "The East Second Guard of Mocheng is under your command. We will set out immediately to get the people. Ask Yan Qi for the list."
Hongzhuang took the tiger charm, turned around and summoned someone to lead the way, and quickly left the Defense Department.
"If you have any other matters, please go to the government office and discuss the details of the Food, Pay, and Military Administration. Mr. Li can discuss it with Miss Guo."
Yan Qing said and stood up to leave.
Li Kaide, who was stunned by her arrangement, finally came to his senses and hurriedly called out to Yan Qing, "Master Yan, please stay!"
"Master Li, what else can you do?"
Li Kaide looked at Hongzhuang who was walking away, and then at Guo Jia who had asked someone to take some pen and ink to sort out the books and files. He frowned and said to Yan Qing hesitantly, "This... I wonder why my lord is in such a hurry? This food, pay, military register, city defense
The deployment is an important matter for the defense of the border city. If you don’t personally see it, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate.”
Hearing this, Yan Qing smiled and said, "Master Li, please be at ease and understand the importance."
"Miss Guo is now the adjutant of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there is no doubt in the employment of people. This logistical matter is left to Miss Guo, so that the Qing Dynasty can rest assured."
Yan Qing smiled and explained to Li Kaide, "As for what Qing is busy with, it is related to city defense. For specific details, you can ask Miss Guo. This matter is quite urgent, and Qing will stay soon."
"See you."
After saying that, Yan Qing hurriedly left the Defense Department and went straight to the government office opposite.
Li Kaide stared blankly as Yan Qing walked away, wanting to stay but not daring to stay. He turned to look at Guo Jia, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
"Uncle Li, don't be anxious. The matter will be resolved within three days at most."
Guo Jia buried his head in the copywriting, but seemed to see Li Kaide's doubts, "As for the city defense deployment and changes in troops and horses, the general has his own mind, you can just wait and see. Our general is not a mediocre person.
."
"If Uncle Li had dissatisfaction and doubts about Jia's handling of weapons, money, food and other logistical matters, Jia would have answered with General Yan's words - do not trust the people you employ. When the general uses me, he naturally believes that I have the ability. After three days,
Jia doesn't have this ability, no one needs to say anything, just get out of here."
Li Kaide was choked by Guo Jia's words and had nothing to say. He could only nod and accompany him, "The eldest lady has been taught by the Marquis since she was a child. She has been influenced by her ears and eyes. She is both talented and talented. The lower officials dare not question her."
Guo Jia smiled, raised his pen and glanced at Li Kaide, "Uncle Li, please go and do your own business. I'll lend you this place for a few days."
"Eh!"
Li Kaide nodded in response. As soon as he turned around, he realized that this seemed to be his office. If he lent it to Guo Jia, where would he go?
But when he turned around and saw Guo Jia immersed in copywriting materials again, he couldn't stop talking about it.
Yes, he can just move somewhere by himself.
Li Kaide made a mental calculation, packed up his things gently, and moved to the next door temporarily. He also asked the people below not to disturb Guo Jia, and then continued his official duties for another day.
But while he was holding the pen, he didn't feel very happy in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder what happened today.
Three days later, the answer to the mystery was revealed, but he was so shocked that he almost lost his balance.
The soldiers of Dongciwei went in and out of the government office several times. On the execution ground in the west of the city, they chopped off row after row of heads, but it did not frighten people. They only made people applaud and fear at the same time.
No one could have imagined that while they were living a peaceful life, there were still so many people behind them who were dissatisfied, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country for a small profit, and trading other people's stability for their "future"!
Three days later, Guo Jia also sorted out the gaps in the account books and files provided by Li Kaide. After comparing them with the seized stolen goods, black account books and other evidence, he calculated the actual amount of materials flowing out, which became
The last straw for those involved in the smuggling case.
The person involved in the case confessed to the crime and only wanted a chance for his family to survive.
"Since you still know your parents and family, why did you do such a heinous thing in the first place?"
Guo Jia put away the confessions of those involved in the case and asked in a deep voice.
Some people lower their heads and regret their mistakes; some people refuse to admit their mistakes and talk nonsense.
But there are also people who ridicule and ridicule, "Power suppresses people. It is a sword to advance, and it is also a sword to retreat. In this world, how can we, the common people, have no choice?"
Guo Jia took a deep look at the man and collected the paper without saying a word. However, when he stood up to leave, he turned around and said, "The world will change."
The man was slightly startled, and when he looked up, Guo Jia had already left.
Happy New Year, dear children! In the new year, I wish you all peace, joy, and good health.
