This time, Ye Mingsheng had already expected his official position. He had the monopoly power over the Liaoyang military affairs. The position of commander of the military governor belonged to him. Even if he asked others to do it, no one else would have the guts to really let him do it. He was relieved that he had obtained the position of inspector.
This time Cui Shao took a step further from the position of envoy to the position of chief envoy. This was not only because Ye Mingsheng fulfilled his promise to him, but also because of the dividends he received from his previous investment in Fengzhou Army. It was also because of Ye Mingsheng The help of the Cui family was needed to achieve a stable transition of the Liaoyang regime, and the political exchange made with Cui Shao.
Ye Mingsheng's real goal was the position of the inspector. In the political structure of the Zhou Dynasty, the chief envoy was responsible for people's livelihood and government affairs, the commander was responsible for military affairs, and the inspector was responsible for criminal matters. Each of the three performed their duties.
Now that the local faction is powerful, Ye Mingsheng needs to supervise the person sitting in this position and make him a sword of Damocles hanging over the local faction to coordinate his actions against the local faction... ···········
As for Cui Shao, he was naturally not willing to let go of the position of inspector so easily and hand over the Liaoyang judicial system that he had run for many years to Ye Mingsheng, so he also proposed that Yun Hanjie of the Yun family take up the position of inspector. For this reason, Cui Shao not only instructed Yun Hanjie to find Ye Mingsheng, but also secretly sent people to contact the southern imperial court.
However, in the face of Ye Mingsheng's strength and the Murong family's connections in the court, Cui Shao's efforts were in vain. Ye Mingsheng helped Murong Yuliang to the position of Liaoyang's envoy as he wished.
Of course, although Ye Mingsheng got Murong Yuliang the position of prosecutor as he wished, this is not the same as taking control of the Liaoyang judicial system. Before that, Cui Shao had been the prosecutor for ten years. More than half of the people in the system are his. Unless these people are cleared out, Murong Yuliang, the inspector, will not be able to do what he wants!
However, Ye Mingsheng is not prepared to interfere too much in the matter of clearing Cui Shao's remaining poison. He is prepared to leave this matter entirely to Murong Yuliang, with the Coordination Office as auxiliary support. This can also be regarded as a small test for Murong Yuliang. .
If he can't even handle this matter, then it means that Ye Mingsheng has misjudged the wrong person, and Murong Yuliang is simply not enough to be the sharp blade in his hands to deal with the local faction headed by Cui Shao... ·······
"After you go down in a while, send someone to tell Murong Yuliang so that he can start preparations!" Ye Mingsheng ordered in a deep voice:
"clear!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, Qi Dechao nodded and planned to make arrangements. However, just when he turned around and was about to walk out of Ye Mingsheng's study, Ye Mingsheng suddenly remembered another thing and stopped him and asked:
"Where are the Shiwei people that Shen Jianzhong found for the Zhenwu Army and what are they doing?"
Upon hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Qi Dechao quickly stopped and recalled:
"Since Wang Muzhi ran away in Dongning, these Shiwei people have parted ways with them. These barbarians want to return to Lelang Mansion via Changqing Mansion, but now they seem to be blocked by Ma Zhongjun, the commander under General Lin, at Liuhe River County, the people over at the General Staff said that the Shiwei people seemed to have sent an envoy to see the Lord..."
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes and he said:
"I'm not just a cat or a dog that I can see whenever I want. When they come, let Lin Huaiwu go and listen to what these Shiwei people think!"
"yes!"
·······················
·······················
In a small farmyard in Jingtai Township, Dongningfu.
Shen Jianzhong was quietly looking at the courtyard, at the large locust tree with lush branches and leaves in the courtyard. At this time, he was dressed in a clean and simple gray robe, looking exactly like A teacher, there is no clue that this person is the notorious Inspector Liaoyang Governor.
After about half a while, a middle-aged man with a strong build and a simple and honest appearance, who looked like a farmer carrying a pole, walked into the yard and looked at Shen Jianzhong in the yard. There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes. , then became a little alert, and finally seemed to realize something, looking at Shen Jianzhong with eyes full of anger.
Even so, the middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his hands to Shen Jianzhong and said:
"The common people have seen Mr. Shen!"
After hearing this person's words, Shen Jianzhong slowly shifted his gaze from the big locust tree to this person and said leisurely:
"Baoshan, long time no see!"
Seeing Shen Jianzhong looking so calm and relaxed, Liu Baoshan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Master Shen, you and I should never see each other again. You promised me when you first took office that I, Liu Baoshan, will never have anything to do with the Supervision Department again in this life..." ····”
Shen Jianzhong smiled slightly, and then said with a hint of apology:
"You should already know what happened in Liaoyang, so there is nothing you can do. I'm sorry that I have to break my promise!"
Seeing that Shen Jianzhong had no intention of hiding it, Liu Baoshan did not bother with him in this regard. He stared at Shen Jianzhonghan and said:
"Where did you hide my wife and two sons?"
Under Liu Baoshan's cold gaze, Shen Jianzhong said with a smile
"Don't worry, Baoshan, your family members are all safe!"
"You know the coordination office under the Fengzhou Army, right?"
'Now that Ye Mingsheng is in power, they have begun to liquidate our Supervision Department. Many brothers and their families have suffered! '
"So in order to protect the safety of your little family, I helped you move them to a safe place!"
Although what Shen Jianzhong said sounded nice, Liu Baoshan, who had been working in the Supervision Department for decades, had no idea what Shen Jianzhong meant behind his words...
Liu Baoshan stared at Shen Jianzhong fiercely. If eyes could kill, I believe Shen Jianzhong would have been pierced by thousands of arrows at this time.
Feeling Liu Baoshan's attitude, Shen Jianzhong sighed, shook his head and said:
"Baoshan, after you did that thing for me back then, I shouldn't have broken my promise and disturbed your pure life again, and brought you back into the bloody storm from this beautiful place, but now I really need your help!"
"I know you have resentment in your heart, so I'll give you a chance now!"
As he finished speaking, Shen Jianzhong took out a long sword from his sleeve robe and seemed to throw it away casually, but he accurately threw it in front of Liu Baoshan.
After doing this, Shen Jianzhongming closed his eyes and stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for Liu Baoshan to make a decision. He glanced at the long sword stuck on the ground, and then at Shen Jianzhong not far away. A flash of light flashed in Liu Baoshan's eyes. With a ruthless look, he drew out his sword in the next second and used Qing Kung to stab Shen Jianzhong in the throat.
This middle-aged man dressed as a farmer, the whole process can be said to be done in one go, without any sloppiness. Even the most skilled assassin can only do this. However, facing the sharp sword piercing his throat, Shen Jianzhong remained unmoved, holding his hands behind his back without any hesitation. any reaction.
And just before the sharp sword in Liu Baoshan's hand was about to pierce Shen Jianzhong's throat, Liu Baoshan's eyes dimmed, and he exerted slight force on his wrist, and the sharp sword tip passed through Shen Jianzhong's neck... ······
Feeling the cold wind blowing around him, Shen Jianzhong immediately opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
He won the bet!
Liu Baoshan was indeed as he imagined, he did not dare to kill himself because he cared about the safety of his family!
Shen Jianzhong knew very well how strong the man in front of him was. If he hadn't grasped his weakness, Shen Jianzhong wouldn't be so frantic and risked his life.
"What do you want from me?"
Throwing the long sword in his hand to the ground, Liu Baoshan was forced to say:
Seeing that Liu Baoshan was so understanding, Shen Jianzhong stopped hiding and said directly:
"The imperial court in the south has appointed Ye Mingsheng as the governor of Liaoyang and the commander of the military army. Ye Mingsheng will definitely hold a ceremony to celebrate!"
"Baoshan, I want you to kill Ye Mingsheng during the ceremony! Once Ye Mingsheng dies, the Fengzhou Army will inevitably fall apart, and the opportunity will come again..."
Shen Jianzhong said in a low voice. At the end of the sentence, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was talking to Liu Baoshan or to himself.
Hearing this, Liu Baoshan sneered and said:
"I said Master Shen, you think too highly of me. What Takahashi Kazuki and several Japanese jonins can't do together, how can I do it alone? Sir, are you trying to borrow a knife to kill someone? Let me go Are you going to die so that you can kill people and silence them?"
Shen Jianzhong was not surprised by Liu Baoshan's reaction. He continued:
"It would be best if we could kill Ye Mingsheng, but I also know the difficulty of this matter, so if it can't be done, you don't have to worry about Ye Mingsheng in Baoshan. It's okay to kill a few of his civil and military officials. In a word I want you to ruin Ye Mingsheng’s celebration ceremony for me and disgrace him and the Fengzhou Army!”
Hearing what Shen Jianzhong said, Liu Baoshan looked better. Shen Jianzhong had arranged so many assassinations, but all were in vain, so we knew that Ye Mingsheng must be protected by experts.
Therefore, he was not sure about assassinating Ye Mingsheng, but he was quite confident about killing a few generals and officials to create some panic in the Fengzhou army. Liu Baoshan was quite confident with his own methods...
After pondering for a while, Liu Baoshan looked at Shen Jianzhong and said:
"I need help!"
"No problem, the Liaoyang Supervision Department is at your disposal!" Shen Jianzhong agreed readily:
After speaking, Shen Jianzhong made a very serious promise:
"After this is completed, I will arrange for you and your wife and children to go to the palace together. No one will know your family there. You can start over in Baoshan and live the peaceful life you want."
Liu Baoshan, who had already been deceived by Shen Jianzhong once, naturally would not believe him easily when he heard Shen Jianzhong's promise this time. He said coldly:
"No need. When the matter is done, you can return my family to me. We, as a family, will have our own place to go!"
Although his kindness was rejected by Liu Baoshan, Shen Jianzhong, who had achieved his goal, still smiled and nodded:
"Okay! When the time comes, the world will be so big that you can go to all the treasure mountains!"
·······················
·······················
Three days later, Ye Mansion in Dongning City late at night.
Ye Mingsheng was lying on the bed, and An Miaoyi was obedient beside him, kneading Ye Mingsheng's temples.
Because he suffers from migraines, Ye Mingsheng likes massage the most to relieve the pain.
And I have to say that An Miaoyi's learning ability is really fast. If he hadn't personally experienced the confusion of An Miaoyi as a rich lady at the beginning, it would be difficult for Ye Mingsheng to believe that in just half a month, An Miaoyi's The skills have made such great progress that now in Ye Mingsheng's harem, An Miaoyi is second only to Zhixiu in terms of massage techniques. Zhixiu is a doctor who is proficient in various acupuncture points.
Just when An Miaoyi was concentrating on serving Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng, with his eyes half-closed, suddenly asked lightly:
"Miaoyi, how do you think I should deal with Cui Shao?"
Although Ye Mingsheng acted very nonchalantly, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart after hearing Ye Mingsheng's words...
After realizing who Ye Mingsheng was, An Miaoyi knew that Ye Mingsheng's temptation would come sooner or later, but what she didn't expect was that Ye Mingsheng would be so straightforward and not cover up.
An Miaoyi thought quickly in her mind, knowing that the answer she gave Ye Mingsheng next would determine her future fate.
After thinking for a while, An Miaoyi lowered her head to Ye Mingsheng's ear, exhaled softly and said softly:
"Ms. sir, do you know what your biggest advantage is compared to Cui Shao?"
"What is it?" Ye Mingsheng restrained his inner agitation and asked calmly:
Under Ye Mingsheng's rhetorical question, An Miaoyi did not show off, but explained:
"From my point of view, my husband's biggest advantage over Cui Shao is not military power! It is your power. In the Fengzhou Army, you can decide all matters in the Fengzhou Army without any worries or burdens. , Sir, your words are absolute orders, anyone who dares not disobey must do as you tell them!"
"On Cui Shao's side, it seems that the Gongsun family and the Yun family are all following him, but in fact, these two families have their own thoughts and their own little calculations. In order to make these two families obedient, Cui Shao needs to make some decisions. A lot of interest exchanges and compromises”
"Even within the Cui family itself, although Cui Shao has great authority in the family and can forcefully make many decisions, in fact he must also consider the opinions of the elders of the family. If he cannot convince those people, Old man, there will be a lot of constraints..."
