What happened next seemed to fall into place naturally.
The deputy general of Guyuan Town, Ma Jinbao, entered the city from Anding Gate. Although the defenders at Ancheng Gate also belonged to the Xi'an Right Guards Division, this division had long been bribed by Feng Ziying. The Guyuan Army marched in and headed straight for the Xi'an Guard Camp. He surrounded all the Xi'an defenders who had just fled back to the military camp in a hurry, and ordered all the soldiers of the Xi'an defenders to disarm and abandon their armor without mercy, otherwise they would be suppressed as a rebellion.
With nowhere to go, Liu Yuanpei finally took the initiative to express his willingness to surrender his weapons and accept reorganization. At this point, the "rebellion" of the Xi'an defenders came to an end.
"Sir, Master Lu is here." Wang Wenyan hurried from outside, "It looks like he can't sit still."
"Oh? I can't sit still anymore. It's still early." Feng Ziying picked up the tea and took a sip. "You can't be so restless. After all, you have been a loner in Xi'an for so many years. , even if I am merciless, the court will still give him some face, why is he in such a hurry."
Wang Wenyan sneered, "Sir, it's different. If all the four guards in Xi'an are cleared out according to your opinion, and the people of the Procuratorate are tight-lipped, maybe the big bosses of the Procuratorate in the capital city will be ready to take action. Even Ye Xiang may not be able to suppress it."
The Procuratorate made such a big noise in the city of Xi'an. Although it was Feng Ziying's full support, it was impossible for Xiong Jianqiu and Chang Xuande not to report to the Procuratorate. After all, Feng Ziying, the censor of Qiandu, was in name only. , the ones who decided their fate were the big bosses in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Jingqiu, Qiao Yingjia, Zou Yuanbiao, Zuo Guangdou, Yang He and others.
If we can bring down a second-rank left-wing political envoy, it will definitely be an honor worth risking for the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It will definitely be written into the future reputation of the big guys like the Metropolitan Procuratorate. historical.
The pursuit of reputation by the censors is more important than anything else. Even with their connections in the township party and the superiority and inferiority of their superiors and subordinates, it is difficult for them to give in easily. When Yun Guang, the governor of Shaanxi, was overthrown, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were defeated one by one. He bit Yun Guang like he had eaten a gun, and finally pulled Yun Guang off his horse. Now a second-grade Lu Chuan appeared, which undoubtedly made these censors smell the smell of blood.
So at this time, Lu Chuan was a little uneasy, and it was reasonable. After all, without Feng Ziying's connivance, the imperial censors in the Procuratorate would not have been so rampant, especially in Xi'an, where all the four guards might have been disarmed by the Guyuan Army. In the case of being escorted out of the city, it is even more difficult to predict the direction in which the aftermath will develop.
The negotiation between Lu Chuan and Feng Ziying lasted for half an hour, but the results were meager.
Lu Chuan could not take the initiative to give in at this time, which would only allow his opponent to advance further.
The purpose of his visit was very simple, that is, he wanted to find out Feng Ziying's background and what he planned to do. In other words, he wanted to find a compromise with Feng Ziying and retain his business in Shaanxi over the years.
Whether it was officialdom or business, too many interests were involved. At this time, Lu Chuan discovered that he was unable to take care of many things. Moreover, there were flaws almost everywhere, and Feng Ziying might catch him at any time. beat.
There was no governor position before, so he could dominate the sky with one hand. Even Sun Yijie could not shake his control. But when Feng Ziying came, not only did he control Dusi in one fell swoop, but Xie Zhenye, a coward, almost accepted his head and bowed to him, plus the other party's advance The operation in northern Shaanxi hit his key point at once, especially when Yan'an Mansion fell to the opponent, allowing the opponent to gain a firm foothold at once.
At this time, Lu Chuan discovered that Feng Ziying was so sophisticated that he did not enter Xi'an for a long time. Instead, he stayed in Yan'an and used various means to beat, win over and even bribe these officials. However, he originally had too much respect for the people in Yan'an Prefecture. It was too slight, and Pan Ruzhen, Xu Junyang, Wu Degui, and Yuan Wanquan all turned to each other, but
It can be said that almost instantly, he lost control of Yan'an Mansion.
The changes in Yan'an Prefecture also directly affected Qingyang Prefecture and Pingliang Prefecture. These two prefectures are also places that I don't value very much. Except for the magistrates, Tongzhi and others, among the people like the county magistrates and prefectures below, those who really have a close relationship with me In other words, there are not many people who belong to me.
This trend even affects
Although Xu Liangyan remained calm when he arrived at Xi'an Mansion, Lu Chuan knew that this guy had never really surrendered to him. He was just a man who acted according to the circumstances. Now that he saw that Feng Ziying had the upper hand, he was afraid that he would change. The door is closed.
Walking out of the governor's office, Lu Chuan sighed in his heart. He still underestimated this guy, or he didn't, so what could he do? In fact, when the court rejected him as the governor and Feng Ziying became the governor, this outcome was doomed. .
The only thing that surprised him was that Feng Ziying actually broke the situation from Yan'an, where the situation was worst, and he actually succeeded.
I originally thought that the Yulin Army would take action, and I had already prepared it. As long as He Shixian dared to send out a large army to help Feng Ziying quell the chaos, he would make people make noise in the court.
But he didn't expect that He Shixian didn't even send troops at all. Feng Ziying relied on his few personal soldiers and a group of people to bribe a group of bandits, and actually opened up the situation, and even swept through Yan'an Prefecture, and even With both Qingyang and Pingliang included, it’s no wonder that the attitudes of the people in Qingyang and Pingliang Mansion began to shift toward Feng Ziying.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can I say?
Lu Chuan could imagine that Sun Yijie had been watching from the sidelines, observing the confrontation or negotiation between him and Feng Ziying. As long as he showed signs of weakness, he would jump out and give him a hard kick, but now he was unable to resolve the difficulties in front of him. bureau.
What about taking a step back?
Of course I am willing, but will Feng Ziying just give up?
Also, how do you say "one step back"?
A big step or a small step? Feng Ziying will definitely not agree to a small step. He wants to take control of the entire Shaanxi Province, and it is difficult to satisfy his appetite by taking a small step back.
But what about a big step? A big step in his mind may not be consistent with a big step in his mind. His big step may exceed his bottom line.
You can't give in so easily. Once the other party senses your weakness, it will only bite harder, and maybe it will completely swallow up all the hard work you have accumulated over the past few years. This is unacceptable.
Lu Chuan's empty-handed departure was expected by Feng Ziying. After all, he was a local snake who had been entrenched in Shaanxi for several years. How could he surrender so easily? Didn't he still count on Fang Congzhe, the second assistant of the DPRK, to put pressure on him?
Feng Ziying did not want Lu Chuan to bow his head. He also needed the censors of the Procuratorate to show more courageous fighting spirit to attack Lu Chuan. If he did not completely pull down Lu Chuan, he would have to control the entire Shaanxi situation in the future. The membership fee is a lot of trouble.
"Qian Dingjun still refuses to explain?" Feng Ziying asked Wang Wenyan.
"It's not that easy. Qian Dingjun is Lu Chuan's best friend, and a fourth-grade official refuses to admit it. The censors have no good solution." Wang Wenyan shook his head, "Lu Chuan should know this. That's why he is so calm now. If Qian Dingjun's mouth is opened, he may really come to plead guilty and beg for mercy.
Qian Dingjun was a counselor of the Chief Envoy and had a close relationship with Lu Chuan. The censors followed the clues and dug out this worm.
He colluded with several officials in Xi'an Prefecture, involved in privately seceding from the military and transferring to Chang'an and Xianning counties, and made more than 100,000 taels of profit from it. Neither Feng Ziying nor Wang Wenyan believed that Qian Dingjun dared to use this full 100,000 taels for one person. and the man swallowed it.
The reason why the people in Xi'an Mansion cooperated with this guy and acted like this was because they knew that Lu Chuan was standing behind him.
"Well, I know it's not that easy." Feng Ziying mused: "If Lu Chuan hadn't chosen a tough-talking person to handle such a big matter, then Lu Chuan would have been killed long ago. It's also reasonable.
"Sir, you can actually choose another breakthrough point." Wang Wenyan smiled softly.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying glanced at Wang Wenyan.
"Four years ago in Xi'an Prefecture, there was a case of privately changing the yellow registration list and occupying unowned land. I checked the files of this case. It was very confusing. Seven families in Xuejiazhuang were killed by bandits. Such a big case was disappeared without a trace. Among the old papers, Chang'an County excused itself by saying that it was handed over to Xi'an Prefecture. Xu Liangyan said that the case had been concluded when he came. Four of the nine bandits died during the pursuit, and three of the remaining five were sentenced. When I asked Zhan, the whereabouts of the two men were unknown, and later there was no further information.
"
Wang Wenyan explained eloquently, "This case was handled by Cui Wenshan, a former colleague of Xi'an Prefecture, and Yue Shanbao, a senior official. Cui Wenshan has retired to his hometown in Zhejiang, and Yue Shanbao is now a general judge..."
Feng Ziying looked solemn, "How does this relate to the case of privately changing yellow records and occupying unowned land?"
"It's very related, because among the seven families who were wiped out by bandits, two of them were considered to be upper-class families, and the other families were also considered to be well-off families. They had more than 500 acres of fertile land beside the Wei River. Logically speaking, these families were killed by the bandits. The land of the people killed by the thieves should be inherited by their relatives, but when it fell into the hands of these relatives, there were only more than 200 acres. Three hundred acres of land was changed to the yellow list, and then fell into the hands of others, but this Someone discovered the clues during Sizai's monopoly, and checked the government archives, and then they found out..."
Feng Ziying suddenly came back to her senses, "Could it be that this bandit destroying the family and privately changing the pornography are the same thing?
"Yes, I checked this kind of cases in the past ten years and found that there are them in Chang'an, Xianning, Jingyang, Gaoling, Weinan..."
Feng Ziying took a breath, this was too vicious. If officials and gangsters colluded, the gangsters got money and the officials got land, it would make people shudder.
