Ye Yongjia spread a stack of official documents on the table, flattened them with his hands, and handed them to Lu Deguang for review. Lu Deguang looked at his colleagues beside him and asked:
"Did you give the order to the manager?"
Tongzhi's face turned livid: "It's Ye Tongpan."
"Sir Tongzhi, this is not a good thing for you," Ye Yongjia argued, "This chapter was clearly written by you, how can there be any evidence that it was me?"
"Don't you have the magistrate's seal? I can't get it from Tongzhi Yamen!" Tongzhi became anxious when he saw that he didn't recognize it.
"You can come anytime you want, no one dares to care if you just stamp it, right?"
"You..." The colleague pointed at Ye Yongjia, then turned to Lu Deguang and said, "Master Lu, I have evidence! If you ask Secretary Chen to come, he will definitely say that the seal was affixed by Tong San without permission!"
"You know that I have discussed the layoff of six households, and Secretary Chen has a grudge against me. How can he say good things about me? I know he is deliberately trying to harm me!" Ye Yongjia was indignant.
"Okay," the silent Lu Deguang finally said, "Don't involve others, Tongzhi, and just accept it."
Tongzhi couldn't argue, and felt his eyes were weak, and touched the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands.
The hearing was held in the lobby. Because the document is there and the evidence is conclusive, the process becomes much more casual. After the crime is punished according to the law, the document is submitted to the province. After the provincial approval, the matter of dismissal will be discussed. As for Secretary Chen, because of Yuan Lun, Lu Deguang did not want to offend him, so he could only let him stay in the office for the time being.
It was noon. Lu Deguang finished his official duties and felt tired. He suddenly felt sleepy and came out of the court. He was afraid that someone would come to see him, so he simply slept in the yamen and went straight into the meeting room.
He strode into the back room, took off his official uniform, threw it to Li Yong, and told him to pour a bowl of tea first. He sat on the innermost bed and watched Li Yong working. "Ye Yongjia is really capable of great things. Last time he successfully delivered the salt ship to Huaining, and this time he was able to get out of the case with Secretary Chen. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"Of course it's a good thing." Li Yong placed the tea in front of Lu Deguang.
He took a sip and sighed: "Li Yong, you understand so well, why don't you understand this truth? He is not an ordinary person. If he has full wings, he has the potential to compete with me. Besides, I have a feud with him, and something will inevitably happen." !”
"Don't you still want to use him to deal with Yuan Lun?" Li Yong asked unhurriedly with a smile. It was an evil smile.
"That's right. There is no way to have both." Lu Deguang shook his head and drank the tea ceremony.
"The slave has a plan."
Lu Deguang's eyes were bright, he put down his tea bowl and stared at him with all his attention: "Say!"
"Since Tongzhi is exempted, master, why not let Ye Yongjia take his place? Tongzhi has the job of taking care of both houses, and all matters such as corruption, bribery, secret fraud, murder and silence, etc., must all go through Tongzhi's hands. No matter how he has a clear mind, in this situation, If he does not accept the stolen goods, he will be ostracized by everyone, and he will be depressed and frustrated. If he does this for less than a year, he and his master will conspire and benefit, and they are all tied to the same rope. If he wants to challenge his master, his bad deeds will be revealed, and his master will He had no choice but to bow his head and obey orders. If this strategy works, Ye Yongjia will be like a puppet. In addition, as time goes by, his ambition will be weakened and his spirit will be weakened. He will only serve as a staff member." Li Yong understated his long-term plan. Come on.
"You are really the mastermind of this government, your skills are extraordinary!" Lu Deguang praised this ruthless plan.
"But it will destroy the child..." This is Yu Wai's emotion.
Within a few days, the provincial government approved the document, ordering the dismissal of the original co-president, and agreed to fill the vacancy. Lu Deguang suggested that Chen Ye Yongjia was smart and wise in politics and could be the co-president. The province immediately followed his advice and moved Ye Yongjia to be the co-president.
After these dangerous and dangerous catastrophes, promotion could no longer waver in his heart. Perhaps this official title of Tongzhi also hid a deeper intention, but he didn't know it. He was like a blind man, wandering alone on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by bottomless darkness. He was wandering above the darkness, helpless fear was the only thing wrapping him, and every step he took was filled with hesitation of unknown circumstances.
But he is still the same as before, just like when Qi He faced Wei Huai, he retained his great enthusiasm for himself. But when he went through all kinds of torture after this, who could blame him for all his misdeeds?
Ye Yongjia and two other bandits entered the Yamen. There were four government officials in front of the lobby, standing in different classes, and they all said hello to the new colleague. Ye Tongzhi also returned the gifts to them, asked some less important business questions, and then walked around from the lobby to the courtyard behind. The courtyard is in the open air, with the meeting room to the west and the second hall to the east, with a few simple tables and chairs, and no calligraphy or paintings on the walls; there is also a study room inside, which is extremely simple. From a general perspective, it is naturally not as impressive as the magistrate's office.
Ye Yongjia came out of the study and saw a big man who looked like he was doing rough work coming towards him with a smile. He rolled up his sleeves, his arms were strong, his legs were thick and strong, and his figure was not fat, but he was strong and tight.
"I'm the groom from the same magistrate. Just now the yamen servant gave me your horse. I took it from the back door to the stable and tied it in the shed, so I came a little later. At any rate, I want you to see this guy." smiled kindly.
"Tongzhi Yamen also has a groom?" Kou Zhong looked at him from the side.
"There's another one, but he's watching the horses over there at the stables." He kept smiling attentively.
"Who sent you here?" Ye Yongjia asked.
The man suppressed his smile a little and said, "It's just that... the dismissed colleague likes to raise horses and asked us to take care of it."
Ye Yongjia saw that what he said was not in tune, and judging from previous events, he must not take it lightly this time, so he asked, "Where are you sleeping?"
"We are all poor. It's enough if someone can pay us. How dare we ask for a house to sleep in!"
"I know. Go about your business." Ye Yongjia glanced at him suspiciously until he left the courtyard.
"The poor man has such a fair face... he is full of lies." Kou Zhong muttered.
"I guess the people sent by the Governor's Office may want to kill me..." Ye Yongjia started walking, "But they are definitely not in the yamen. There are yamen servants outside here, and they don't dare to do anything... Or maybe they are just ventilating Yuan Lun. Report."
He turned around and smiled at Kou Zhong: "Maybe I think too much. I shouldn't be in danger of my life."
"Master still has to worry." Kou Zhong was thinking about Ye Yongjia all the time.
Ye Yongjia went straight back to the lobby and saw several government officials chatting away, so he called them over and whispered in his ear: "When you have time, go to the backyard and spy on the two grooms, and report whatever they say. Remember. Don't get caught."
The yamen servants were all from Lu Deguang's new faction, and Ye Yongjia was trustworthy. He patted them on the shoulders and left the yamen.
"Sir, don't leave! I have something to ask you."
A lean old man stood in front of him and looked at him with cunning eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
