In order to prevent Wan Yuzhi from becoming suspicious, the prefect specifically gave him the power to select envoys, making a gesture of never interfering. Yu Zhi naturally didn't know the reason, so when he returned to his house, he summoned two minor officials to go there. However, the two of them had never worked in any place and were not familiar with the relationship between husband and wife. He was greatly disappointed. He quickly gave up the idea and had to ask the prefect for his opinion.
The prefect then naturally sent out his confidants, gave him a few important words, and then sent him out of the city.
Faced with such an important matter as the survey, Chenzhou Zhizhou had no choice but to come and discuss it in person. He walked into the main hall, screened off the left and right, closed the doors and windows, and then asked the envoy to sit down and asked: "Your Excellency, you are under the order of Wan Gong. Coming?"
The messenger rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "No. The lower official is from the government office."
Zhizhou immediately understood what he meant and put down his guard. He frowned and said, "Is your eldest son crazy? Zhu Yangrui is the biggest squire in Henan. Many officials have dealings with him. If he is touched, We are sure there will be trouble here. Instead of trying to dissuade Chief Wan, he begged me to investigate, what’s the point of that!”
"How could Futai help Zhou to commit evil," the messenger quickly explained, "This is just a trap he set. I was sent here to discuss further countermeasures with you."
"What are you talking about?" Zhizhou calmed down.
The envoy came closer and said, "Can you think of an idea, can you bring the matter of the survey to the imperial court? Once there is a dispute in the imperial court, Wan Yuzhi will not be able to make the decision, and Zhu Yangrui will be safe and protected from the disasters of the New Deal. "
Zhizhou thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyelids: "I... seem to have thought of a strategy. But I have to think about it slowly, and I can't give you an answer for a while. So, you go back and tell the magistrate first, and once the plan is complete, I will write a secret letter With him." The messenger was overjoyed, agreed, and left.
Although the secret conversation was concluded in this way, in order to give Wan Yuzhi an explanation, the magistrate wrote another official document and asked the envoy to take it back with him. Turn it into a feather. The contents were nothing more than "It still needs to be discussed" and "One day I will come to the territory to inspect it in person" and so on. There was no precise words, but Yuzhi remained unwavering. He thought deeply: "As the saying goes, people never turn back, I am determined." Act according to the law, use no swords and weapons, so what if you wait for him for more than ten days? ’ Therefore, he ordered the imperial troops under his control to remain stationary and only monitor the surroundings of Zhu’s Mansion.
Within two days, the governor of Chenzhou sent a secret letter to Runing, detailing his strategy. The magistrate really didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurriedly followed his plan and wrote a letter in his own handwriting, saying, "The magistrate conducted a survey and the complainant occupied his ancestral grave. However, the defendant claimed that this land was official land in the past. Due to poor management, the land gradually became desolate, so he sold it to him. The deed still exists in the province, which can be used as evidence. I don't know the authenticity, so please verify it. 'And put it in an envelope and delivered it to Zhizhou.
The magistrate then wrote a similar letter according to the magistrate's statement and ordered it to be sent to Kaifeng by separate routes and submitted to the governor.
The governor had never had a good impression of Ye Dang, especially when Wan Yuzhi led troops to station this time, which made him deeply frightened. Now that I received these two letters, it was like a cold rain came after a long drought. I immediately reported the news to the court on the grounds that "the documents had been handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs".
"Is this... a newly arrived official document?"
Zeng Liang and Guo Xiangren walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Finance and saw a brand new envelope on the table. They couldn't help but wonder, and turned to look at the bookstore at the door.
"That's right." The clerk came closer and bowed, "It was sent from Henan, saying it was urgent."
"Wait a moment," Zeng Liang motioned to the Xiang people to sit aside. He opened the envelope, licked his fingers, and opened the cover of the official document. When he was about to read it, his eyes suddenly froze.
"What?" The man from Guoxiang turned sideways and asked, holding a tea bowl.
"It's amazing," Zeng Liang sighed in a low tone, "Ye Yongjia, Ye Yongjia... you really have a way."
"What's going on?" Xiangren became even more curious.
"Wan Yuzhi wants to conduct a survey in Runing!" Zeng Liang suddenly shouted loudly, slapped the table and stood up, startling everyone in the hall. "What a secret plan! They dare not arrest Zhu Yangrui openly. Just use the name of your father-in-law to force him to quit his land!"
After hearing this, the Guoxiang man held the handle of the teapot tightly, his face gradually becoming serious.
"But fortunately, those officials were brave and resourceful," Zeng Liang smiled softly, "They found a reason for me to intervene in this matter! You can see for yourself."
Xiangren breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the document a few times, and his eyebrows relaxed: "Since the decision-making power belongs to you, what do you decide to do?"
"Isn't it easy to say?" Zeng Liang sneered, "Of course it's impeachment! After all, the document the governor asked for is completely false! I will go to the palace immediately and report this matter to the emperor. I must denounce Ye Dang!"
Xiangren's expression suddenly became frightened again: "You should calm down first, or wait until I discuss it with Mr. Chen before making a decision. After all, we have learned from past mistakes, so we must be cautious."
Zeng Liang rolled his sleeves and said: "I am a loyal and upright person. I will never allow a young person to be quick and easy. How can I wait for a long time! Even if I want to kill or behead him, I will let the emperor go!" After that, he pushed the Xiang man's arm away. , strode out; the Hunan people could only sigh once, and immediately went to the official department to discuss with Chen Tongpao.
When the colleague saw the Hunan man coming out of breath, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he was not interested in listening at all. Instead, he made a shut-up gesture, sat him down obediently, and forced him to drink a glass of water. The Xiang people did not dare to disobey and just stared at him with a pair of wide eyes.
"Have you said what I asked you to tell him?" Chen Tongpao asked.
"This is not important," Xiangren couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hands directly, "Zeng Liang received the letter and said..."
"I have just learned about Zeng Shangshu," Chen Tongpao said calmly with no expression on his face, "The emperor sent someone to call Ye Thief over again."
The Xiang people were speechless, feeling impatient and looking ashamed.
"But, but the situation has changed." After a moment, the Xiang man spoke to his colleague again, but his voice was obviously lower, "I'm afraid there is no need to say what you said before. What you should seize now is this God-given opportunity."
"Do you think this incident is still an opportunity? No, it can't change anything." Chen Tongpao shook his head.
"Why?" Xiangren thought endlessly for a while.
"The New Deal is the lifeblood of Ye Thief, and he will fight to the death to implement the decision," Chen Tongpao said slowly, "This document has done us a disservice. Zhu Yangrui's ending does not look good. Now...you and I can just wait for the crazy behavior of the Ye Party, they will shock the world."
