Qin Dewei spoke in detail again: "You are all old local officials and have the ability to arrange some things on your own. Originally, I did not need my help, so I know nothing about it."

Only then did Magistrate Liu suddenly realize that he could just turn a blind eye.

So he also responded: "What the supervisor said is absolutely true. There are some small things that do not require the supervisor to do it personally."

Qin Dewei thought for a while and revealed some more information: "This time, I may personally lead the team and go out for hundreds of miles to perform meritorious deeds."

Magistrate Liu immediately gave his blessing and said: "I would like to wish the supervisor immediate success! If necessary, I will contact the supervisor or flag officer directly."

After leaving the mansion, Magistrate Liu quickly went to the Procuratorate in the north of the city, where the governor of Datong was based.

After reporting the conversation with Governor Qin, Magistrate Liu said: "Looking at Governor Qin's intentions, there is no doubt that he has no intention of interfering with the smuggling."

Governor Shi still had some doubts in his heart, "When we were in the capital to review our duties, we heard a lot about Qin Dewei.

It is rumored that this is a person who likes to seek fame and reputation and does not care about money at all.

That’s why this court just predicted that Qin Dewei might not accept smuggling for profit, but how could he agree to it?"

The well-informed Magistrate Liu smiled and said: "This is not surprising. In places like the capital, officials are cautious about their words and deeds, but when they get there, there are not a few officials who let themselves go.

Besides, officials in the capital have a lot of entertainment and spend a lot of money, but the actual salary is low. If there is an opportunity to make money while working abroad, who would dislike the lack of money?"

Governor Shi nodded and said: "This makes sense. You go ahead and prepare! But you still have to remember one thing. Qin Dewei cannot be allowed to discover evidence that directly involves you and me."

Magistrate Liu agreed and said: "The lower official naturally knows that everything should be done according to Futai's instructions. But the chief military officer still needs Futai to say hello. After all, those sent out to burn wasteland are officers and soldiers."

After Magistrate Liu left, Governor Shi sent someone to contact General Wang, and the two made an appointment to meet in the evening.

Governor Shi advised General Wang: "This time, according to the order of Governor Qin, we will mobilize elite troops to go out to burn the wasteland. General Wang, you should be cautious when selecting your personnel."

Wang Sheng didn't understand what Governor Shi meant, so he asked: "Why be cautious?"

Governor Shi said more specifically: "First, don't personally lead the team to burn the wasteland; secondly, try not to let your cronies burn the wasteland."

General Wang asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Governor Shi replied: "This is to prevent Qin Dewei from playing any tricks again. Since you are not in the wasteland-burning team and have no close confidants, you naturally do not need to take responsibility."

At first glance, Wang Zongbing felt that what Governor Shi said seemed reasonable, so he agreed.

If Qin Dewei really wanted to do something, he couldn't afford to stop it, but he couldn't afford to get himself involved either.
