The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 488 Praying Mantis

Qi Haoran looked coldly at the former adjutant kneeling at his feet, without saying a word.

Deputy General Zhong led people to surround the former adjutant, and only waited for Qi Haoran's order. In the basin, three thousand soldiers held torches and looked towards this side silently. The situation was about to explode.

Standing behind Qi Haoran, Lin Fuguan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help leaning into Qi Haoran's ear to advise, "General Qi, the former adjutant is also following orders, please be lenient with the general."

Vice-General Zhong, who was standing not far from Qi Haoran's side, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised. The rebels who stormed the mansion were really led by people from the court?

When Qi Haoran heard this, he was furious. He stared at him with wide eyes, and roared in a low voice: "Be lenient? There are 130,000 rebels in Jinghu, don't you dare to kill them all? We only have 3,000!" People, are you going to let us be crushed into meat paste, or are you trying to contain all the troops in the Southwest and Central China here? Stupid!!!"

Adjutant Lin's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything to refute. They also obeyed orders, but Qi Haoran didn't know if he was scolding the emperor.

Qi Haoran lowered his head to look at the former adjutant, with a stern look on his face, he said: "I will not pursue this matter for the time being, but if you continue to disobey orders and act privately, I will take you to sacrifice the flag."

Adjutant Yuan and Adjutant Lin looked at each other and bowed their heads in response.

Qi Haoran snorted coldly and asked, "Where is Adjutant Ye who came with you?"

The three adjutants were sent by the emperor to watch over him. Qi Haoran also knew that they had their own missions, because the three were not military generals, and he never thought of dispatching them. such a big deal.

"Adjutant Ye has returned to Beijing to report."

A cold light flashed in Qi Haoran's eyes, and he didn't even notify him when he returned to Beijing. It seems that he was too generous to them before, so that they all forgot that he is now their direct superior.

Deputy General Zhong's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Qi Haoran with sympathy. Qi Haoran pretended not to see it, and waved his hand to General Zhong to tell everyone to bury the pot for cooking, rest here for the night, and head to Yongzhou tomorrow.

Qi Haoran returned to the tent, sat at the table for a while, and finally picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Mu Yangling, writing down everything he knew, and asked her to find a solution with Fan Zijin, because he was thinking hard. For several days, there was still no good way for him to get rid of the suspicion.

If someone else did this, he would definitely be able to drag him into trouble without even thinking about it. Who dared to plot against him?

But the emperor is behind this matter, if it is really exposed, the officials in the world will be panicked.

A king can behead corrupt officials with justification and evidence, and he is also willing to kill the unreasonable emperor in his anger. He can even kill people for no reason. With integrity and a dark heart, officials all over the world still have to worry about it all day long?

So the blame is either those rebels or Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran himself was not taken advantage of, so naturally he would not take the blame for this crime selflessly, so he could only try his best to push the matter to the rebels.

But these stupid lieutenants accidentally left traces, how to explain and how to eliminate these evidences has become his most troublesome moment.

Qi Haoran was spurning himself while writing. He wanted to rebel, but before the rebellion, he had to stand so firmly with the emperor and devoted himself to shirk his guilt.

Emperor Jingyan was still playing in the harem at this time, and called a few concubines to play in the pool together. The inner eunuch lowered his head and came to report that there was an urgent document. He fumbled honestly, and said indifferently after hearing the words: "Put it in the imperial study first, and I will go there later."

The eunuch knew the emperor's character well, and knew that he would be angered if he continued speaking at this time, so he stepped back very obediently.

The emperor hugged Chang Zai and kissed him big, and said with a big smile, "The beauty is really delicious."

After the emperor's "for a while", the sky was already dark. After dinner, he went to the imperial study room Shi Shiran. When he saw Adjutant Ye still kneeling in the imperial study room, he frowned slightly and waved: "Get up."

Adjutant Ye reported the situation in Jinghu, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, now those rebels are filled with righteous indignation and are heading down Yongzhou. I am afraid that the subsequent county officials and prefects will also be affected. I am planning to take people to protect those government offices and county towns."

"Qi Haoran only has 3,000 people, can he fight against 130,000 people?"

"There are also garrisons in all government offices and counties..."

The emperor snorted softly, and said: "If they do something, the rebellion in Jinghu will not last for three years without stopping. Instead, it will become more and more prosperous, and now it has reached 130,000."

The emperor was annoyed: "Let them make trouble, and when those bandits clean up the corrupt officials in Jinghu Lake, my army will also surround them?"

"Then," Adjutant Ye asked hesitantly, "What will General Qi do?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is no definite evidence, and no one can do anything to him. This kind of thing will end up in a daze. By then, everyone will be busy suppressing the rebellion. Who will pay attention to this? If the court officials If you are not convinced, Qi Haoran's official position will be slightly demoted when the time comes, and I will compensate him later, you don't need to talk too much this time when you go back, just pay attention to his actions in secret."

Adjutant Ye bowed his head in response.

After Adjutant Ye left, Eunuch Bai made tea for the emperor, and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, there have been more and more reports on the impeachment of General Qi, can this matter really be suppressed?"

The emperor snorted softly, and said: "Most of those excerpts were ordered by Prime Minister Qin. As long as I tell Prime Minister Qin, would he still dare to disobey the emperor's order? Let Qi Haoran attract everyone's attention again, and wait for the troops from the southwest and central regions to arrive. Let’s talk about Jinghu.”

But Eunuch Bai was a little worried, afraid that things would exceed the emperor's expectations. After all, the emperor was always prone to make some mistakes when he decided to do something alone.

The emperor didn't know about Eunuch Bai's worries. He was taking a look at the list of the newly admitted Shu Jishi, and he roughly finalized the list of newly replaced officials in his heart. They all put on their own people.

At this time, Qin Xiang was also making arrangements, "Ask someone to bring back the account books and write them off. For the new recruits this year, you should find some poor and innocent people, contact them secretly, and help them as much as possible. Don't mention the truth, just let them think that you are sympathetic with them and win them over."

"Qin Xiang, didn't we like to choose children with family background before, why this time?"

"That's because it was easier for children with family backgrounds to stand out, but now the emperor is suspicious of me, and he wants to replace him with his own people. Naturally, those poor children with no roots are more useful." Qin Xiang sneered, "Let He thinks those people are his people." I don't mind lying to him for another ten years. Qin Xiang thought to himself.
