Shuhede, Zhou Yuanli and others cried when they looked at the empty Linqing granary, and then they were troubled by Wang Lun's eastward rush.

This is even more troublesome!

The only one with Xu Ji is a waste brand. More than 2,000 people are not good at flattery. Wang Lun's army is now hiking straight into the mountainous areas of central Shandong, while Meng Can and Wang Jinglong's thieves have already hiked into the mountains.

When Shuhede thinks about the expenses of the Qing army in the past few years to attack Jinchuan, he feels a headache.

At such a time point, something else happened, and it could not attract Shuheld's attention.

But, it’s just that the news is too big and the discovery is too amazing.

The captured person of the Qingshui Sect actually said that Wang Lun had funding behind it, which made the interrogation officials very happy. With his years of experience as an official, he immediately realized that this was a great discovery.

Shuhede, Zhou Yuanli and others also thought so after receiving the news. Except for He Qi who was bedridden and unable to take charge of the affairs - no one expected that He Qi, who could still lead the battlefield a few days ago, seemed to be terminally ill in a blink of an eye. Shuhede had reported this news to Emperor Qianlong, but judging from He Qi's posture, it is very likely that people could not wait for the imperial doctor at all...

Shuhede, who had already had two big stones in his heart, has now added a brand new third.

Digging out the person behind Wang Lun has become a heart-wrenching problem for him.

Because the Qing army did not capture the true high-level figures of the Qingshui Cult during the entire battle, there was no way to know some things.

Until the people from the Ministry of Justice arrived in Linqing, Shuhede and the others still had no idea. In addition, He Qi was already dead.

Although he is three years younger than Zhou Yuanli, he is almost seventy years younger.

It is not early to die at this time.

The head of Tong Helihe, the Qing Lishu Department of Qilu, who came to the Ministry of Justice, had several clerks, but after they arrived, they had not done anything yet. They would first greet the corpse, and that was also very lucky.

Like the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice also has the 17 Qing Literature Department. The national criminal case issues are consulted and divided into 17 departments according to the province.

The Qing Lishu Department of Qilu where Tong Heli is located is targeting the case of Qilu.

After returning from He Qi, Tong Heli and Shuhede and others immediately understood the key point of the matter. It was a bit difficult now.

The Qingshui Sect people fled into the mountains and valleys in central and southern Shandong. Only in the year of the monkey and horses could the court obtain the top leaders?

Tong Heli immediately set up a letter and sent the followers to the capital in a hurry.

As for Shuhede and Zhou Yuanli, after hearing Tong Heli's intention, their heads became bigger.

Yinglian actually linked the Linqing Grain Case with the Zhongyuan Treasury Case... This is a bit beyond their expectations. But if you think about it carefully, it is true that there are many similarities between the two.

In addition to their big discovery, Yinglian's speculation became more reasonable.

Behind the Qingshui Sect is another black hand. This black hand can easily take out a large amount of funds and can also send a large amount of supplies to the Qingshui Sect’s nest without knowing it. How could this black hand hidden behind the scenes be the real murderer of those strange cases?

During these days, Shuhede and his friends interrogated the captive Qingshui Cultivator and then interrogated them, and sent people to Shouzhang and other counties to investigate. Not only did they find traces of Li Qing's existence, but they also heard many "magical" rumors.

This is in harmony with each other. Not to mention Tong Heli, even Shuhede and Zhou Yuanli believe that the mastermind behind the Qingshui Sect is closely related to the treasury theft cases that occurred in many places in the Central Plains.

The people were in a complicated mood. Because this was certainly good news for the entire Daqingguo. After working so long, they finally caught the shadow of the thieves. Maybe the truth was revealed in front of them.

But for Shuhede and other people who have specifically and complex people who have eliminated bandits, it is a big bad news. The exposure of the former means that the pressure on them will become greater, and the entire court will hope that they can capture Wang Lun as soon as possible and get all the news that Wang Lun knows as soon as possible!

...

On the official road at the foot of Mount Kulai, south of Tai'an City.

A team of mixed personnel is moving forward with all their might.

After receiving the news that the Emperor Weijiazhuang Palace in Dawenkou Town was surrounded, Xu Ji urgently transferred thousands of soldiers from Dezhou general Wu Dajing to rescue him from Dawenkou Town.

Although it only depends on the staffing configuration, this seems to be a very perfunctory support and an action destined to go through the motions.

Because the thousands of Qing troops led by Wu Dajing were really unbearable to fight.

As the defeated troops from all walks of life, their morale was extremely depressed, and the mistake was not the only one. The heads of Selemin and Getuken were warning them. Wu Dajing even doubted whether he could safely arrive at the Weijiazhuang Emperor's Palace in Dawenkou Town with such a team.

I am really afraid that they will disappear from halfway!

After Xu Ji's defeat in Dujiawa that day, many green camp soldiers have not returned to the team. This shows the fighting spirit of the Qilu Green Camp.

Shuhede could only sacrifice his king's flag and let people capture the two, Selemin and Getuken, beheading the two on the spot for retreating in the last days. This made the soldiers in the army shocked the whole army!

This is the general of a town and the chief generals of the Eight Banners soldiers from two places. They were just chopped off their heads. Who dares not to take action?

It was a bit consolidating the morale of the army.

But this did not quickly make the Qilu soldiers under Xu Ji become good at fighting.

They were still a group of sluggish mobs. (Or the front-line Zhili governor Yang Jingsu would have greeted them long ago.)

But even so, this is what Xu Ji has done, right?

Since Wang Lun raised his army, the Eight Banners of Qilu were defeated and defeated. Xu Ji only had such a little strength. Regardless of whether the palace of Weijiazhuang could be kept, his correct attitude was shown.

Besides, the palace is closer to Yang Jingsu's army in Kuicangba. No matter how responsible it is, should there be a part of Yang Jingsu?

Now the main general of the Qing army's front line is Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili. He Qi died of illness, and neither Shuhede nor Zhou Yuanli could leave Linqing City, so he could only ask Yang Jingsu to serve as the main general. The prince-in-law Lavandorji was the auxiliary, the left censor, and the official position of Ashiha, who was even more than Yang Jingsu, led his troops to Qufu first.

The contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Zhaohuan personally went to the Linqing camp, and persuaded Shuhede to divide his troops into guarding Qufu County and Konglin.

But this also caused Yang Jingsu's troops to be greatly reduced. Now he can only lead the Qing army to confront the main force of Wang Lun's army in the Qichengba area, which is also a reason for this.

Forty or fifty miles southeast of this battlefield is Qufu County, which is indeed very close to the old Kong family. No wonder they are frightened.
