At this point, Prince Li nodded clearly and agreed. Lord Guan did indeed adopt an adopted son who looked very similar to him more than ten years ago. Many people in the capital guessed that the adopted son was actually his personal son.
It's just that Mrs. Guan Hou also admitted that this was an adopted son, but the Guan family refused to admit that it was an illegitimate son, so everyone talked about it in private and let it go.
"Wait a minute, didn't Lord Guan's adopted son join the army?" How could he become the magistrate of Muzhou?
Qi Baoer asked him back: "What is the surname of Lord Guan Hou's adopted son that you know?"
Hmm~?
Prince Li frowned and thought for a while before he remembered, "I don't quite remember his surname. I can only say that it's not Guan."
It doesn't seem to be included in the family tree.
The Guanhou Mansion has no real power in its hands, and it is the shadow of its ancestors. Although it is a marquis, it is actually not conspicuous among the dignitaries in the capital. Prince Li, the eldest son of the eldest princess's palace, is usually seen by the Guan family.
Can't see him.
Therefore, Prince Li didn't know much about the Guan family.
Qi Baoer: "Yes, Mr. Guanhou's adopted son's surname is Yang, which is his stepfather's surname. It was Mrs. Guanhou who did not allow him to change his surname to Guan, nor allow him to be included in the family tree. There was not even a ceremony to recognize his adoptive parents.
, adopted son is just a name used by others.
Twelve years ago, Guan Houye used some method to adopt Guan Wentong into his younger brother's name, and Guan Wentong's surname returned to Guan. Guanhouye also donated a county magistrate to him, which is the name of Muzhou.
Peixian County in Xiacongcheng.
After serving in Peixian County for four years, Guan Wentong became the current magistrate of Muzhou."
Everyone in the room was shocked.
"How can this be?"
This is the first time I heard that someone could jump from a ninth-grade county magistrate to a third-grade prefecture magistrate.
Qi Baoer raised his eyebrows and raised his shoulders, "It's impossible, it's already happened."
Although Piao talks a lot of lies, Piao's lies are only lies related to his own crimes. The gossip about other people is nine times out of ten true.
After a pause, she added as if she suddenly remembered: "The recommender is King Xuan."
Everyone: Oh, that’s okay.
Before King Xuan was driven to Yingzhou by the emperor, he was still highly regarded by the emperor. He was in charge of the History Department for more than ten years.
Prince Li was so angry that he could hardly breathe, "It's actually him?"
Qi Bao'er didn't respond to him, and continued like an emotionless reporting robot:
"It is not certain whether Lord Guan is a member of King Xuan, but it is certain that Guan Wentong is the governor of Muzhou. During the eight years he served as magistrate of Muzhou, he raised at least ten million taels of silver for King Xuan, 30% of which was for disaster relief.
There were two iron mines in Muzhou that were unknown to the imperial court. Guan Wentong captured the victims and mined them privately, and all the pig iron they obtained was shipped to Yingzhou.
The main stronghold of the White Ghost Sect, which we have always had a headache for, is hidden in one of the mines."
"Hiss~" There was a gasp.
Aren’t we all walking together? How do you know so much?
However, they immediately recalled this person's ability to fight with the ghost king. He could fight with the ghost king and beat the ghost king to death. It shouldn't be a big problem to recruit some floaters to find out the news.
Yes, I've gained a lot of 'experience' along the way, and no matter what magical powers the little baby uses, everyone is already used to it.
There is even a feeling that as long as this girl is here, she will be able to do anything.
That's right, thieves feel safe.
I am quite convinced by what she said.
But at the same time, they also became more wary of the little baby.
This ability to destroy Piao and use Piao is really terrifying.
But they don't have the emotion of being afraid of Qi Bao'er, they are their own people.
Fang Qi: "Guan Wentong is from King Xuan, what about the prefect?"
It seems like the opposite, but who knows what the reality is?
Qi Baoer answered firmly: "Zhifu Tan is a member of the imperial court, and he is loyal."
He just has a straight temper and doesn't know how to adapt. No matter where he is an official, he always offends everyone.
"After the disaster relief silver and grain allocated by the imperial court arrive in Muzhou, the people in the prefecture will sign for it first, and then the prefecture will decide the time of distribution according to the disaster situation in each place.
Magistrate Tan once offended Guan Wentong. Therefore, although the silver grains were stored in Mucheng, Guan Wentong always provided him with the least amount of money and grains for disaster relief in the whole state, and the disaster in Mucheng was the worst in the entire Muzhou.
A serious one."
Just because Magistrate Tan offended too many people with his merciless words, he couldn't borrow money or food from others in times of difficulty. As a last resort, Magistrate Tan did the "stealing money and food" thing last night.
Hearing this, Fang Qi understood everything and his face turned cold: "Guan Wentong came here specially today. The real purpose is not to really want the princess and the prince to make decisions for him, but just to use our mouth to talk to the prefect."
Report the robbery of disaster relief money and food to the court."
Prince Li also reacted, "I understand, Guan Wentong wants to attack Magistrate Tan. There is an indisputable fact that Magistrate Tan is the first to grab money and food. As the head of Magistrate Tan, Guan Wentong naturally has the right to arrest him.
Last night, Magistrate Tan took the initiative to send evidence of guilt to Guan Wentong."
After the quilt is taken off, isn't it up to Guan Wentong to decide whether it can be safely delivered to the capital?
As for the evidence of guilt, haha, there are no witnesses like them.
"Damn it, you dare to take advantage of me." Prince Li slapped the table and stood up. Then his expression suddenly turned anxious and he yelled to Qi Bao'er: "Anle, we have to save Magistrate Tan."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past him, and twelve figures suddenly appeared next to Qi Bao'er.
"Princess Princess, we have captured them all."
A group of adults who are still worried: "..."
Why do you feel so useless?
Twelve continued: "As expected by the princess, Guan Zhizhou ordered to capture all the people in the government office not far after leaving the inn. It turned out that Guan Zhizhou had already sent people to surround the government office. The people surrounded
They are all dressed as servants, and by the time the subordinates and others arrive, they have already dealt with the government servants."
How could everyone not understand now? It turned out that the princess had already made arrangements.
Just, very sad, okay?
Qi Kang'an asked: "Where is Wenzhizhou?"
12: "It has also been captured and is now being held in the government office. Guanfu has been surrounded and the city gate has been sealed."
The princess said, if you want to do it, do it bigger.
Guan Wentong has been in Muzhou for eight years, and has almost held the entire Muzhou in his hands. Fortunately, Magistrate Tan is a tough man, and the only place he has not captured is the most important main city of Muzhou.
Therefore, it was very inconvenient for Guan Wentong to do things in Mucheng. Mucheng was still in the hands of the court, not Guan Wentong.
The city gate was sealed, and with the cooperation of Magistrate Tan, the city's defenders were all replaced by Qi's army. Only an hour passed, and not even a mosquito could fly out of Muzhou.
Twelve: "Guan Wentong was afraid of death, so we didn't punish him after he was caught. He had already recruited more than a dozen big merchants in the city, and all of them were in cahoots with King Xuan. Guan Wentong also cooperated with the military camp in Lingnan."
Qi Baoer's face suddenly darkened.
There is cooperation with the Lingnan Military Village. There is no need to guess what the cooperation content is. It is nothing but food.
As for the destination of the grain, there is no need to guess. There is no other choice except sending it to Yingzhou.
