A few days later, Qin Guan said goodbye to the Xin'an Army and went to the Baode Army.

Han Yuqing sent him twenty miles away.

This time Qin Guan was followed by no longer 10,000 Xiang troops, but only Xiong Er, Huang Luanfeng and 2,000 Xiang army cavalry.

As for the infantry of the Xiang Army, they all stayed with the Xin'an Army for training, and Xiong Da also stayed.

For this reason, Qin Guan also paid 20,000 yuan to the Xin'an Army, which made Li Xuan extremely happy. With this windfall, the army could spend a lot more money.

Since there were only cavalry, the speed was several times faster this time, and it only took one day to reach the Baode Army's station.

Zhao Decheng, the commander of the Baode Army, and Pei Fang, the supervisor, went out ten miles from Tuncheng to meet him.

Zhao Decheng saluted respectfully and called Commander-in-Chief, but Pei Fang, with obvious rejection, coldly raised his hands to Qin Guangong and called Lord Qin.

When Qin Guan came here, he knew that Pei Fang was from the civil service system and was from Zeng Yu. No wonder he was so indifferent to Qin Guan and didn't even follow the most basic etiquette.

Qin Guan's eyes narrowed.

After entering Tuncheng and arriving at the command office, the Baode Army also set up a banquet to welcome Qin Guan, but the atmosphere at the banquet was very awkward.

Pei Fang half-closed his eyes, without a trace of smile on his face, and was minding his own business with chopsticks and adding vegetables, ignoring Qin Guan. Zhao Decheng put his hands on his knees, half-lowered his head, and said nothing.

The deputy general did not dare to speak.

Qin Guan glanced at Pei Fang and said calmly: "Pei Supervisor, I am inspecting the Baode Army this time. I want to know more about the number of Baode Army soldiers, weapons and armor, monthly food and grass consumption, and various losses.

Please also prepare the catalog and account books."

If you don't give me face, or even give me face, do you really think that I can't cure you?

Pei Fangjiacai's hand paused, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Slowly putting down his chopsticks, Pei Fangpi said with a smile: "Master Qin, the commander-in-chief of the army in the past only checked the military formation drills. As for those catalogs and accounts, they are too complicated and cannot be prepared in a short while. I'm afraid

It will delay your schedule."

Qin Guandao: "I'll look at whatever there is."

Pei Fang finally saw that the other party was deliberately targeting him, "Then I'll go back and prepare it, and I'll deliver it to you when I'm ready."

Qin Guan said with a smile: "Don't bother me, I can just look at it myself. Xiong Er, take people to the Supervisory Army Yamen and move all the documents and account books over."

"Yes." Xiong Er responded as he stood up.

There was a look of panic on Pei Fang's face, and then it turned into anger. He stood up, pointed at Qin Guan and said, "Master Qin, are you doing this against the rules? I am the supervisor of the Baode Army, and I am responsible for the accounts."

In charge, what right do you have to check it?"

The other party was angry, but Qin Guan's expression did not change at all, and he said: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army, and I have the authority to supervise the commander-in-chief and the army."

There was a hint of sneer on Pei Fang's face, "Your Commander-in-Chief is just a name, but you really take him seriously."

"Really? I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Army personally named by the Emperor, but you say it is just a title. Are you more powerful than His Majesty?" Qin Guandao.

Pei Fang was angry and pointed at Qin Guan and said: "Qin Guan, I have the final say over this German defense army. Don't think you can come over and suppress me with such a name. If something happens to the army, you can't afford it."

.”

Qin Guan also smiled coldly: "Whether you accept the punishment or not is a matter for the future. I am fulfilling my duties now."

"Xiong Er, lead people to surround the Supervisory Army Yamen." Qin Guan ordered again.

Pei Fang was really anxious this time, and shouted to Zhao Decheng who was sitting aside: "Zhao Decheng, I order you to stop Qin Guan," and turned to Qin Guan and said: "Qin Guan, I will write to Zeng Xianggong, who is in the Baode Army.

If you act recklessly, you will be dismissed from office."

Qin Guan looked at Zhao Decheng. Zhao Decheng was the commander-in-chief of the military, and more than 20,000 people in the Baode Army were his subordinates. If he had stopped him, Qin Guan would really not be able to accomplish anything today.

Seeing the two civil servants looking at him, Zhao Decheng raised his eyelids, glanced at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Both of you are supervisors of the army. It is an internal matter within the court. Zhao Decheng has no right to interfere. I am a little tired today."

Okay, I’ll resign now.”

Zhao Decheng chose to retreat.

This was good news for Qin Guan, but Pei Fang was anxious, "Zhao Decheng, how dare you disobey orders."

Zhao Decheng turned around and said coldly: "Pei Jianjun, you are the supervisor and have the power to supervise the army, but in this matter, you have no right to order me."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Hula la, several other generals followed him out.

After leaving the gate, a general approached Zhao Decheng and asked worriedly: "General, if we really don't care about Supervisor Pei, will he give us little shoes again?"

Another general said: "Pei Fang used to be arrogant and domineering, and we had no way to do it, but now it seems that someone can cure him. This Qin magistrate is not simple. He started it as soon as he came up. I think he came for Pei Fang. I heard

He said that this magistrate of Qin was originally at odds with Mr. Zeng."

Zhao Decheng waited for a while before saying in a calm tone: "We are military generals. If we don't interfere in the fights of these civil servants, it may not be a good thing for us if Pei Fang is really beaten by the other party."

"Then if it doesn't work out, he won't hate us to death."

Zhao Decheng chuckled: "Do you think the Qin magistrate will give Pei Fang a chance to resist?"

After Zhao Decheng left, Pei Fang suddenly felt that he was so isolated now. He used methods to subdue these generals, but now it seems that they are all unwilling to accept it. At the critical moment, no one is willing to help him.

Qin Guan smiled coldly.

"Come here, lock up Pei Fang for me."

Qin Guan had already made up his mind. If he wanted to take action, he would kill the other party.

Pei Fang became anxious, pointed at Qin Guan and cursed: "Qin Guan, what right do you have to lock me up?"

"Because you embezzled the army's food and salary, is that enough?"

Pei Fang was stunned and wondered how he knew.

But then he yelled again: "You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

Qin Guan smiled and said: "Of course there is evidence. You will see it when the time comes. Someone, bring it down."

"Xiong Er, send people to surround the Supervisory Army Yamen. No one is allowed in or out. Be careful not to let anyone damage those account books, and especially be careful not to let anyone set fire to them."

"In addition, send someone to call Li Xuan and ask him to bring a few more accounting experts to help check the accounts."

Xiong Er took the order and went.

The next day, Li Xuan hurried over from the Xin'an Army with his men. After seeing Li Xuan, Qin Guan said, "You should be very clear about the army's accounts."

Li Xuan patted his chest and said, "That's what we do. No matter it's an open account or a covert account, no matter how covert it is, as long as it's tampered with, we can definitely find out the problem."

"Then let's find out the evidence that Pei Fang embezzled military funds."

Qin Guan directly set the tone.

Li Xuan was stunned: "What if the other party is not corrupt?"
