"Mr. Lu, thank you for your hard work today."
In the county government office, Xia Jingyun smiled and thanked him.
Lu Lifeng also smiled slightly, "Don't be polite, Mr. Xia. This is something I have always wanted to do. Taking this opportunity to publicize it is actually borrowing Mr. Xia's light."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. Mr. Lu's integrity is admirable. He is worthy of the insight and character that a state civil servant should have. I hope that under the leadership of Mr. Lu, Longshou Prefecture can sweep away the decline and rebuild." Zhengding Shengwen Style! If there is anything that needs my help at the moment, while I still have the power for the time being, I can help arrange it."
Lu Lifeng laughed and did not answer the question directly, "Looking back, in Zhongjing that day, I told Mr. Xia that one day, if necessary, he could write a letter, but I didn't expect that by the time you came to Longshou Prefecture, you would have won three yuan in a row. The Number One Scholar, and the fourth-rank imperial minister."
Xia Jingyun sighed softly, "Things are getting easier. Only by adhering to your original intention can you remain unchanged over time. Whether it was the first person to be promoted or the current imperial envoy, the person standing in front of Mr. Lu is the same Xia Jingyun. I hope to see you again in the future." , so can it.”
Lu Lifeng stood up slowly and saluted solemnly, "Master Xia's words are very kind! I should also remember them!"
"What a serious statement! We can be regarded as old friends reunited. At this time, we can have a glass of wine and discuss the past and the present. It is happy and relaxed!"
Lu Lifeng laughed, "Yes, yes!"
The next morning, Xia Jingyun sent Lu Lifeng home, and still sent four of his own guards to follow him.
Watching the carriage carrying Lu Lifeng go away, Bai Yunbian approached Xia Jingyun and whispered, "What benefits did you promise to make people willing to take this trip?"
Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Can't it be that Lu Daru is eager for justice and is willing to fulfill this story and achieve the future of a man who loves to learn?"
Bai Yunbian had an expression of "I believe you are a ghost", Xia Jingyun could only whisper: "I told him that if he notices that the situation has changed in the future, he can move here, and the Caogang will protect him, his family and disciples."
Bai Yunbian clicked his tongue in surprise, "What did you do to sell out the Cao Gang without doing anything? I'm afraid the Cao Gang themselves don't even know that they have to protect so many people at once, right?"
Xia Jingyun chuckled, "How can you say I haven't done anything? I've done a lot of things, but you don't know it."
As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Ye Wenhe came on horseback, followed by a flying red suit behind him.
Bai Yunbian immediately raised his head and chest, pretending to look at a gentleman with a straight face. Xia Jingyun looked at it with a smile, then cupped his hands towards the two of them and said hello, "Gang Leader Ye, Miss Ye, come here, please come inside."
Sitting down in a side room, Chen Fugui closed the door himself and stood guard at the door. Xia Jingyun said, "I invited you two here today because I feel that the Caobang matter should be concluded."
Ye Wenhe's heart moved slightly, "What do you mean, sir?"
Xia Jingyun said: "The Cao Gang needs to resolve the internal strife, resolve the hidden dangers of internal disputes, and restore order. This is also the main task of my trip."
Ye Wenhe was quite excited, "In your opinion, what's the plan?"
After recent events, Ye Wenhe admired the world-famous No. 1 Scholar to the extreme. He even felt that even if he told him to hatch a monkey out of a stone, he would do it.
Xia Jingyun said directly: "Announce it to the whole gang. Three days later, we will hold a general meeting to clean up those who oppose you. Select a few people you trust to be elders, and then rectify the whole gang."
"No sir!"
Ye Wenhe immediately threw his previous thoughts behind and categorically objected.
Then, in the eyes of Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian, he explained: "Now the five elders in the gang, the first elder and the third elder are definitely among our own people. The fourth elder is the staunch opponent. According to reliable information, the second elder, who has always been neutral, may also They have secretly taken refuge with them. In this case, although we can still suppress the power in the gang, they already have the capital to compete with us. Moreover, most of the people who support them are young men in the gang. If they rashly suppress them, they may cause trouble. The gang is in turmoil.”
He paused, glanced at Xia Jingyun's face, and then added cautiously, "I'm afraid it may be contrary to your original intention!"
Xia Jingyun's expression showed no emotion or anger, "Besides this, are there any other questions?"
Isn't this enough?
Ye Wenhe was speechless and shook his head, "Nothing else."
Xia Jingyun stood up and said, "Then the problem is very simple. What we have in front of us now is that there are three elders who hold objections. At the same time, most of the people under these elders are hot-blooded and strong. If one of them is not handled well, trouble will easily occur, right? ?”
Ye Wenhe nodded and summed it up well, but how could it be simpler?
"Three elders, currently the fifth elder Cao Sijin is the core?"
"right!"
"Then the fourth elder and the fifth elder are known to wear the same pair of pants?"
"right."
"It is very possible that the second elder has secretly taken refuge with the fifth elder?"
"That's right."
"Isn't this very simple? Just deal with the fifth elder, right?"
Ye Wenhe:
Bai Yunbian also frowned, then glanced at Ye Hongluan and found that she was also a little confused. He breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Xia Jingyun's pretentious look and felt dangerous again. He immediately said: "What do you have? Let’s just say, we can all guess things, why do you care?”
Xia Jingyun glanced at Bai Yunbian with a half-smile, but did not expose him, but said directly: "Gang Leader Ye is worried that if we force the three elders to huddle together, it will easily cause unrest, right?"
Ye Wenhe nodded repeatedly, "If we want to take back power, it will definitely affect their interests, and they will definitely not let it go. When the time comes, I, the leader of the gang, will lead two elders. The three elders are evenly matched, how can we do it?"
Xia Jingyun smiled, "What if we let them fight among themselves?"
"Ah?" Ye Wenhe was suddenly stunned.
An idea flashed in Bai Yunbian's mind, "I know!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Hongluan, and with the pleasure of successfully answering, he immediately showed it off like a conspicuous bag: "You mean, let the fourth elder turn against the five elders?"
"That's right!" Xia Jingyun nodded, "Everyone knows that they are wearing a pair of trousers. Only such an accusation is the easiest to be accepted. And once the fourth elder surrenders, the balance of power between the two sides will immediately change. And their subordinates He is young and strong, and his hot blood means ferocious force, but it also means innocence. As long as we reveal the little tricks that the fifth elder has done in private to undermine the interests of the gang, the people who supported him the most at the beginning may be the ones who want to kill him the most. .”
Ye Wenhe was excited when he heard it, but then he said: "But the fourth elder and the fifth elder are so close, how could they agree to such a thing!"
Xia Jingyun smiled, "Before the change, I definitely wouldn't agree, but it's different now."
Ye Wenhe looked at Xia Jingyun in confusion, and Ye Hongluan on the side said softly: "Father, have you forgotten those people we captured yesterday?"
Ye Wenhe suddenly realized it, and his eyes suddenly showed fiery excitement.
——
"master!"
In the house of Cao Gang's fifth elder, Cao Sijin. Cao Sijin had just returned home from the helm when the housekeeper rushed into the room.
"Master, it's not good!"
Cao Sijin frowned and looked at him with an unkind expression.
The housekeeper said anxiously: "We have just asked someone to investigate. The group of people who were captured by Mr. Xia and brought back to the county government the day before yesterday are Mr. Yuan and others!"
"What?"
Cao Sijin's expression suddenly changed.
Without waiting for his reaction, another messenger hurriedly ran out of the door, "Fifth Elder, pass the gang leader's order to convene a gang meeting in three days."
Cao Sijin's heart sank completely.
