"Xu Jiuguan, you can still correct this mistake, but what about my mistake?"
Chen Xinghe finally chose to break up the fight and awaken Xu Tianhua from "self-destruction".
After taking a shower and changing clothes, I sat in the study and sighed.
"Because of my oversight, Qingzhou officials have become so corrupt that they cannot be looked at directly. If we want to eliminate them, I am afraid that the entire Qingzhou will be in turmoil."
"If we don't clean up, how can we be worthy of His Majesty?"
"How can we be worthy of the people of Qingzhou?"
"I am the most difficult one."
"What's so hard about this?"
Xu Tianhua said disdainfully: "Go to Xiping Village and all problems will be solved."
"Going to Xiping Village?"
Chen Xinghe asked curiously: "Are there many capable people and lofty ideals there?"
"Can it fill the vacancy in Qingzhou's officialdom?"
"fill vacancy?"
Xu Tianhua was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "So, doesn't Mr. Zhou Mu already have the answer in his mind?"
"I……"
Chen Xinghe was choked and stagnated.
It seems like he let something slip.
He stopped trying to hide it and said bluntly: "Yes, I really want to escort all these corrupt officials to the capital and let the Ministry of Personnel make a decision."
"The main problem right now is that Qingzhou suddenly lacks half of its officials. Who will handle political affairs?"
"Your method is definitely not advisable."
Xu Tianhua shook his head, "If we deal with so many people at once, Qingzhou will definitely be in chaos."
"At that time, all kinds of troubles will arise."
"What do you think?"
Chen Xinghe humbly asked for advice.
"I'm just a seventh-grade official who tastes wine, and I don't know how to govern a place."
Xu Tianhua said: "But Mr. Zhao can definitely do it."
"He has a lot of ideas, so I suggested Mr. Zhou Mu to go to Xiping Village and ask Mr. Zhao for advice."
"What will happen to Qingzhou if I leave?"
Chen Xinghe sighed: "Qingzhou can't live without me."
"You think too much."
Xu Tianhua said unceremoniously: "Even if you die, the people of Qingzhou will still live how they live."
"Even if you stay in the state capital all day long, they will still be oppressed when they should be."
"I……"
Chen Xinghe felt that he had been seen all over, but he also felt that Xu Tianhua said a lot.
Previously, he felt that the officials of the six ministries of Qingzhou were all very important. Without anyone, Qingzhou's political affairs would be delayed and all kinds of mistakes would occur.
But as he imprisoned all the six ministers and even the left and right prime ministers in the prison, with the minister on top, there was no problem.
"Okay, stop talking about your problems, let's discuss my matters."
Xu Tianhua said slightly anxiously.
"Do you call that a problem?"
Chen Xinghe said speechlessly: "Don't you just don't believe Mr. Zhao?"
"Now that it's confirmed, wouldn't it be enough to apologize and promise to believe Mr. Zhao's words in the future?"
"Sir, are you still willing to see me?"
Xu Tianhua said bitterly: "Will you still give me a chance?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Chen Xinghe said: "Just in time, I am also going to Xiping Village. You can lead the way for me and we will go together."
"middle."
Xu Tianhua nodded.
With Mr. Zhou Mu accompanying him, Mr. Zhao probably wouldn't be able to kick him out directly.
Chen Xinghe stayed for two days to arrange work in the state capital.
In fact, there is nothing to arrange, just leave the political affairs to Chen Jiu.
After this period of open and covert investigations, aide Chen Jiu's suspicion has been eliminated.
He has been following Chen Xinghe to make suggestions, which is enough to deal with all kinds of things.
Security protection was handed over to Mu Shangwu, the commander of the Qingzhou Command Department's troops and horses.
But just as Mu Shangwu arrived at the state capital to take charge, and Chen Xinghe and Xu Tianhua were about to leave, a servant hurried over to report.
"Command Department, the young master is here and wants you to go back to the Command Department and tell us that we have something important to discuss."
"Young Master?"
Mu Shangwu was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "You mean my eldest brother's youngest son Mu Jianzhang?"
The servant nodded.
"What is he here for?"
Mu Shangwu wondered: "Do we need to inspect Yipinxiang's business operations?"
"This subordinate doesn't know."
The servant shook his head and said: "There are others who came with the young master. From listening to the young master talking to them, they should all be the children of high-ranking officials in the capital."
Mu Shangwu became even more curious.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Xinghe, "Commander, I haven't seen that guy Jianzhang for a long time. Let him come here."
"It's time for him to honor Lord Zhou Mu."
Mu Shangwu said with a smile, and asked his subordinates to go back to the command post and bring the young master over.
He also asked him to entertain the young master's friends well and not to neglect them.
The servants were ordered to leave.
Two hours later, the servant came with Mu Jianzhang.
Not only Mu Jianzhang, but also several people whom Mu Shangwu couldn't name.
All of them wore high-quality goods, all of which showed their high status.
After greeting each other, Mu Shangwu directly asked them their purpose of coming.
Mu Jianzhang did not hide anything and said: "Uncle, on my father's order, I came to Qingzhou to look for Zhao Ping."
"Looking for Zhao Ping?"
The person asking the question was Xu Tianhua. He asked nervously: "What are you looking for him for?"
"Of course we're going to talk about the cooperation on acacia wine."
Mu Jianzhang smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, the acacia wine was brewed by Zhao Ping. This has been spread in the capital for a long time. It is not the fairy wine brewed by some immortal king."
"You can sell two batches of acacia wine in the capital and earn enough."
"You shouldn't stop this junior anymore, right?"
"I……"
Xu Tianhua wanted to scold her.
This is to steal his job.
However, the other party is the young master of the Crown Prince.
Your Majesty is old, his health is getting worse day by day, and he will pass away sooner or later.
The prince is the only prince in the entire Dawei Dynasty, and his succession to the throne is a sure thing.
Once the prince ascends the throne, the prince's tutor Mu Chen will be the emperor's master.
The prince is young and must choose an auxiliary minister, and Mu Chen is definitely the first choice.
By that time, all the power in the world will be in the hands of the Mu family.
If they say one thing, even the prince might not be able to say two things.
Now that Mu Jianzhang came to snatch the acacia wine business, Xu Tianhua did not dare to refute him openly.
But my mind turned hundreds of times and thought of many countermeasures.
For example, delaying the process.
Another example is taking Zhao Ping away, hiding him, etc.
Finally, they formed a sentence, "That's just right. I want to go back to Yun'an County and can show you the way."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Mu Jianzhang bowed his hands and saluted with a very upright attitude.
In this way, the group of them rested for another day before setting off on the second day and rushing to Xiping Village in Yun'an County.
At the same time, a group of twenty-four riders appeared outside the gate of Donghai County.
At the head are two brown BMWs.
There are two young men riding on it, wearing silk and satin, and they look very impressive.
It was Liu Wenhao and his party.
Originally they had thirty-six riders, but they were intercepted by bandits at the Yuzhou border. Eight of their followers were killed and two of their guards were injured.
The injured person did not receive timely treatment, and his injuries became more and more serious, and he was about to die.
Liu Wenhao called for two followers to deal with the two injured guards.
To put it bluntly, it means being buried alive.
Save the trouble.
Whether they are guards or followers, they are all slaves.
Let them live and they will live.
Let them die, and they will only die.
However, after waiting for two hours, the attendant who handled the matter did not come back, and people were sent to search for him to no avail.
Liu Wenhao didn't want to waste time, so he could only rush to Donghai County with the remaining people.
call!
Liu Wenhao exhaled a breath, "We finally arrived at Donghai County."
This journey has been very difficult.
As the eldest son of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who can walk sideways in the capital, when has he ever suffered such a crime?
But when he thought of his father's instructions, Liu Wenhao forced himself to walk the rest of the way.
Here, the Liu family also has its own vassal forces, such as Tongbai, a branch of the housekeeper, who is a member of Donghai County.
I heard that they are engaged in cloth business, and the business is very prosperous.
He can provide the Liu family with some money every year, and has become one of the four major families in Donghai County.
Isn’t this just coming to your own territory?
Liu Wenhao relaxed physically and mentally and called out: "I heard that there is a Baihua Tower in Donghai County that is modeled after the first building in the capital. Let's go there today."
"If you can't sleep with Yezi, the courtesan on the best floor in the world, it's better to sleep with the courtean in Baihua Building."
None of the guards including Liu A, Liu B, and others expressed their opinions, and they all had expressions of indifference.
After all, they are slaves, and they have no right to interfere with whatever their master wants to do.
Just obey the master's orders.
However, the two followers sent by Tian Yi held objections.
He suggested: "Master Liu, shouldn't we go to the Tian family first, and Tian Fuhai should take the lead to go to Xiping Village to find Zhao Ping?"
"Now that you've done your business, it's not too late to have some fun, right?"
"Palm mouth!"
Liu Wenhao shouted coldly, "How can it be that only you two dog slaves can refute what I say?"
Bang bang!
Liu Jia jumped off his horse and landed next to the two of them.
He fired his bow from left to right, and one person received a slap in the face.
Then he kicked the horses of the two men again and jumped back on his own horse.
high speed.
When he sat firmly, the two followers fell to the ground, their cheeks red and swollen with a few finger marks.
Yun Chengze was also slightly dissatisfied, but did not express his position.
Liu Wenhao continued: "If you dare to disobey me again, I will chop off both of your heads."
"Let's go into the city."
Following his instructions, everyone rushed their horses into the county town.
The two followers of the Tian family were unwilling to do so, but they could only follow.
Who made it so that Liu Wenhao was leading the team this time instead of them being led by their Tian family?
However, it is Tian Fuhai of the Tian family who is cooperating with Zhao Ping. If he wants to promote cooperation, he cannot do without their Tian family. When the time comes, he will regain his face and make you, a dandy young master, submissive.
