Chapter 28 Guangxi Bandit Suppression (2)

Zeng Guofan was so furious that he had been so tired of these days. As an imperial envoy, he went to Guizhou Province to be responsible for the suppression of bandits, but he was unable to do so for one reason or another. In order to keep it confidential, he could not clearly declare his identity and intention to his subordinate officials, so he had to stay in the inn every day to study as a pastime.

He was so idle that he asked his hometown to accompany him to Nanning Mansion to browse and stroll around. A dignified imperial envoy actually fell to nothing to do? Zeng Guofan laughed in his heart, probably this was the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to these daily fragmented things, Zeng Guofan’s favorite thing to watch is the Green Camp Martial Arts. He also found it strange that a scholar was interested in the daily actions of Mr. Qiu Baye who was acting in martial arts. Isn’t that a strange thing?

In early May, if Zeng Guofan went to the Green Camp Martial Arts Fair one day before he went to the northern suburbs of Nanning, he would feel empty and seem to have lost something very important than that he had never done!

Of course, he has always taken the arrests of several bandits and gangsters who worshiped God and met with the leaders. One day, Zheng Zuchen invited Zeng Guofan to the government office, on the one hand, to fulfill his friendship with the landlord, on the other hand, to flatter the enemy, and on the third, to discuss future arrests with him: "Mr. Zeng, if bandits and gangsters gather in Jintian County, Guiyi thinks how to arrest them to be foolproof?"

"There must not be any mistakes in this last move." Zeng Guofan slowly stroked his short beard and thought: "You must know that if you make a mistake, the whole plate will be empty."

"yes!"

"What is even more worrying is what Lord Zhang Fengpo said in his official business: The ignorant people in Jintian County have all been secretly joined. If one of them is escaped, they will inevitably be alarmed and will be very busy in the future. It is not a big violation of the secrets of the matters that the emperor repeatedly taught in his handwriting."

"Mr. Zeng said so much. The emperor repeatedly told me that the most important secrets of this matter are the most important. It is absolutely not allowed to disturb the people too much, frighten too much, and cause civil rebellion." Zheng Zuchen nodded very seriously: "Besides, there are many congregations in Jintian County. If you go to the mountains and forests for a leader, you will not only wait until the tiger returns to the mountains, but also have a great and indescribable thing that will appear, and we will die and cannot give up the blame."

"Well. What Meng Bai Gong said is not a false statement. You must think carefully." Zeng Guofan thought about it and finally came up with an idea for him: "It's better to do this. If the bandits do not return, as long as there is a certain news, immediately send Lord Min to lead the soldiers of the Green Camp to block the four gates of Jintian County, only allowed to enter and not leave. Take action to arrest him in the city. As long as the congregation list is raised, you can follow the list and catch turtles in the jar. What does Lord Futai think?"

Zheng Zuchen was surprised: What a vicious Zeng Disheng! Block the four doors and search for the horses? In this way, Jintian County will definitely become a ghost! The emperor's Zhu Yuzhong wrote clearly that this time they were going to handle the "first serious case of treason and great rebellion" since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Such major cases of treason have always been executed by all households and households to destroy nine clans! The final result must be that people are rolling and blood flowing. Not to mention Jintian County, Guangxi Province is afraid that nine out of ten households will be empty. But, besides this method, is there anything better?

"But..." Zeng Guofan thought of another section: "Guofan recently watched the military soldiers in the northern suburbs of Nanning to perform martial arts at the Guizhou Green Camp. His ears were filled with the accent of his province. I dreamed of Bai Gong and the green camp in Guizhou. Are the soldiers in this province all filled with the military soldiers in this province one after another?"

“Oh, yes, yes.”

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Zeng Guofan shook his head: "People in this province know a lot about the people in this province, let alone the same hometown and ancestors. If they have a favoritism, relax the access control, and escape from the gangsters, I'm afraid you and I can't explain it to the emperor, right?"

"Ah!" After his reminder, Zheng Zuchen suddenly realized: "Why would you like to ask the Eight Banners Commander to help?"

"That's true." Zeng Guofan said with a smile: "Fortunately, the emperor also made an explanation before Guofan left the capital to allocate the Eight Banners soldiers of the Han army to help. I think there will be no omissions!"

In the Jintian County Government, Zeng Guofan took a few steps forward: "Raise your head!"

Hong Xiuquan subconsciously raised his head, looked at the other party's four eyes and then immediately lowered his head.

In ancient times, people who were officials knew some skills of Ziping, and could subjectively determine good and evil through their eyebrows and eyes. Zeng Guofan only saw clearly Hong Xiuquan's appearance at this moment: the emperor kneeled in front of him and was Hong Xiuquan who had to arrest the official after repeated orders. He was not ugly, his forehead was a little bulging, and his black eyes were circling around. It was obvious that he must have had some idea in his heart. Mencius said: His heart was not right, his eyes were shattered (sound ridiculous)! No matter how appropriate it was for this person, it was gone!

He sighed in his heart, and he took a step back: "Mr. Zeng?"

"I have a good look, but unfortunately I feel bad!"

"It hits the word!" Zheng Zuchen stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "It's true that he is a close friend around the emperor. Just this number of comments is enough to show his color! I admire him, admire him."

"Where." For some reason, Zeng Guofan didn't even have the interest to answer, and turned back: "Brother Chun Pu?"

"I am in a humble position!" Xiang Rong responded and asked An beautifully: "What are the instructions of sir?"

"Start it?"

"Zhe!" Xiang Rong agreed, stepped out of the back hall, got on the horse and left without mentioning it.

In the second hall of the county government, Zeng Guofan and others sat down. Zheng Zuchen looked at Hong Xiuquan who was unsteadily standing and sneered: "Hong Huoxiu, can you punish him?"

Someone talked, but Hong Xiuquan actually relaxed: "Student... no, the grass-roots people don't know."

"I knew you would say this. Fortunately, you finally remember that you have no fame and fortune! For scholars like you, you will be able to admit them all with just a stick!" Zheng Zuchen snorted, "In fact, I can't use your confession. I have already explained it very clearly in the imperial edict sent to our mansion. I can directly mobilize the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp to be arrested. However, if you do that, you will be afraid that there will be no end to the collapse of the nest. You and Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui and others will be plotted against you and others.

What do you do with your wife and children? I am a virtuous person and I am not willing to slaughter all the ignorant villagers who depend on Yi and others. Therefore, I want to give you and give you a chance. As long as you are willing to explain it to the truth, I may not guarantee that your family will not die, but will not cut off your Hong family's New Year Festival sacrifice. Even you will find a way to plead with the emperor and give you a pleasure! Hong Huoxiu, you should know that if you commit crimes like you, you will not demonstrate the national law without extermination of the nine clans and extermination of the family with lingchi!"

"You... what this old man is talking about, Caomin doesn't understand."

"What a bad guy!" Zheng Zuchen slapped the handrail, stood up, and said, "Hong Huoxue, I don't need to have any confessions. As long as I send troops to your mansion to search, I will naturally be revealed! Don't make any mistakes!"

Hong Xiuquan gritted his teeth and shook his head hard: "Caomin, I really don't know what the boss said."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Zuchen no longer got entangled with him and turned around and ordered: "Come on!"

"Yes!" Goshha, who was under the sect, agreed loudly.

"Temporarily detain Hong Huoxiu, and then decide after the matter is done!"

"twitter!"
