After hearing what Gu Shouting said, Huo San understood Gu Shouting's motives. Although there was no confirmation of the information, in view of Gu Shouting's scars all over his body, Huo San was willing to believe Gu Shouting, so he was thinking about what to say to Gu Shouting. At that moment, Gu Shouting continued to preach:
"I have been recuperating at home for the past two years. At first, Zhao Fuqu didn't trust me and placed spies in our Gu family to keep an eye on me. Until recently, he may have relaxed his vigilance because he thought I was not in any danger. I also I have this opportunity to come here and meet you, Director Huo..."
"When Governor Ye of your department was still in Fengzhou, I started to pay attention to him in Yuyang. In my opinion, Governor Ye has the attitude of an eagle and a wolf, and he is a person who can do big things. A mere Liaoyang can't satisfy him. Ambitious, his next step must be to enter the border!"
"As for your current weakness towards Youyan, selling firearms and their manufacturing technology to Youyan is nothing more than an attempt to paralyze Zhao Fuqu so that he can march westward with confidence and boldness. If I don't do well, Zhao Fuqu will besiege Jinyang. At that time, it will be the day when Governor Ye enters the pass!"
Gu Shouting said these words categorically without any hesitation. It was obvious that he was very confident in his own judgment.
As the director of the Liaoyang Unified Coordination Office and the forerunner of the Fengwu Army's entry strategy, Huo San naturally knew some general contents of the Fengwu Army's entry strategy. Therefore, he was shocked when he heard Gu Shouting's judgment. Fortunately, he was in He has been in a high position for a long time, and he has also learned some basic knowledge of Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. Although he was surprised in his heart, his face was still calm and calm, which made Gu Shouting a little disappointed...
Under Gu Shouting's gaze, Huo San picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said slowly:
"I don't know, Mr. Gu, do you represent yourself now, or do you represent the entire Yuyang Gu family?"
Gu Shouting was startled when these words came out, but he still said honestly:
"There are still father and brother in the family, so it's not my turn to make decisions about family matters. The only one I can represent now is myself!"
This answer did not surprise Huo San. He nodded and said:
"I understand. This matter is so important that I have to think about it before I can make a decision. Mr. Gu, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Guangning Mansion for a few days and let Huo fulfill his duties as a landlord!"
Gu Shouting shook his head when he heard this and said with some regret:
"Although Zhao Fuqu has relaxed his guard against me, his spy in our Gu family has always been there. I am just pretending to be sick if I come out this time. Coming to Guangning secretly to meet Mr. Huo is the limit. If I stay here... ············”
Huo San frowned when he saw this, hesitated and decided:
"In that case, Mr. Gu, you should go back first. If there is any news from my side, I will send someone to contact you immediately!"
Gu Shouting was a little disappointed with this. He thought that his surrender would make Huo San flock to him if he found a treasure, but the fact is that Liaoyang Fang may not be particularly interested in him. Although he is a little helpless, now that he has said this, Gu Shouting could only nodded and said:
"Then I will be in Yuyang, waiting for your good news, Director Huo!"

Dongning, Murong's mansion.
When it got dark, Murong Yuliang carried his tired body and returned to his residence in a carriage. Ever since he took over the position of inspector of Liaoyang, life has not stopped, because Cui Shao had been the inspector of Liaoyang for many years before. At least seven out of ten people in the surveillance system must be his party members...
In order to avoid being sidelined by Cui Shao and become a nominal inspector, Murong Yuliang spent several months, with the support of Ye Mingsheng, to eliminate some people and support some new people to take over, so that he could play a more important role in the inspection system. The voice gradually became stronger, but before Murong Yuliang could rest, the wind and snow disaster in Liaoyang came.
Logically speaking, natural disasters such as snowstorms and windstorms are the affairs of Chief Secretary Cui Shao and Secretary of Finance Zhang Juning. The two of them can do things alone, and one batch of money is enough. It is not as big as Murong Yuliang, who is in charge of punishments. relation!
But the problem is that although the money is approved from the Financial Secretary and goes to the local counties through the Chief Secretary, some greedy, corrupt and illegal people in the local counties want to collude with unscrupulous businessmen to divert the relief. The victims' money was secretly stuffed into their own pockets!
Their measures include falsely reporting the number of victims and paying them empty wages, and approving the financial secretary to buy quilts, cotton-padded clothes, and food for the victims. However, they only gave the victims single clothes, thin quilts, and moldy food. What's more, they didn't even bother to look good. Just put the money in your pocket and buy nothing, leaving the victims shivering in the cold wind...
After learning about these situations, Ye Mingsheng was extremely angry. He never thought that the money he earned through thrift and strict self-discipline would end up raising these big rats, so he directly summoned Cui Shao and Murong Yuliang, asked the Chief Secretary and the Inspector General to work together to catch each of these rats and punish them severely. No matter who is involved, they must be investigated to the end and no guilty person must be let go!
Murong Yuliang, who felt Ye Mingsheng's anger, naturally did not dare to neglect Ye Mingsheng's orders. It can be said that he has been very busy these days. He arrested two county magistrates, five bookkeepers, and others in various places in Liaoyang. There are dozens of shopkeepers and owners of the three shops, as well as the remaining servants and clerks.
Every day, after dark, he could finish his work and return to his residence from the government office. When he returned home, Murong Yuliang was very tired and had a simple meal. He didn't even find a concubine from Xina, so he was ready to have a good sleep. After a good night's sleep, prepare yourself for tomorrow's work...
Murong Yuliang had a good idea, but unfortunately things often don't go as people want!
Just when Murong Yuliang was lying on the bed and was about to instruct his servants to blow out the candles, he heard the servant's voice from outside the house.
"Miss, the master has gone to bed now, you'd better come and meet me tomorrow!"
"Going to bed so early? Is that woman also in the house?"
"This little one doesn't even know..."
"Hmph! Get out of my way! I have something important to see my father!"
Listening to Murong Qingwu's cold voice outside the house, Murong Yuliang shook his head helplessly. His daughter had good moral character and good temperament. The only shortcoming was that she might be too idealistic. It had been more than a year since he came to Liaoyang, except Except for Murong Qingwu who followed him secretly, he didn't bring any family members with him.
So now that he was in his prime, he felt very lonely on weekdays, so he secretly took a concubine to serve him personally. Unexpectedly, this would offend his precious daughter.
Murong Qingwu always felt that her father, Murong Yuliang, was a gentleman. He always behaved well and never indulged in sex like other men. He and his mother were a model couple. They were very affectionate.
However, Murong Qingwu never expected that just one year after the two places were separated, Murong Yuliang would find another woman who was about the same age as himself as a concubine. Therefore, Murong Qingwu could never accept the image of his father's stature. The collapse happened so quickly, which made Murong Yuliang think that this was a kind of betrayal of the relationship between husband and wife.
Although she somewhat prevented all of this from happening, Murong Yuliang was quick and decisive enough. By the time Murong Qingwu knew what had happened, the concubine had already passed by and ended up on Murong Yuliang's C couch.
Moreover, the concubine named Yiyun put on a pitiful look and begged Murong Qingwu, saying that she had nowhere to go and hoped to be taken in by Murong Yuliang, so Murong Qingwu's heart It was very atmospheric, but in the end, I softened my heart and chose to acquiesce to this matter...
However, after living together and being in contact for such a long time, Murong Qingwu could see that this concubine named Evian, despite her soft and frail appearance, looked pitiful and harmless to humans and animals all day long. But his scheming skills were more powerful than anyone else's, and he always tried to retreat in order to advance, and he looked like a green tea, which made Murong Yuliang eat him to death.
Seeing that this concubine named Evian was going to become the mistress of the mansion step by step, Murong Qingwu couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. At first, Evian wanted to repeat the same trick and use her green tea skills. Retreating is the way to advance, but she is known as the most talented woman in the world. She has lived among the top families since she was a child. Murong Qingwu, who has experienced countless intrigues and intrigues, is not a vegetarian. She has made a lot of hidden losses to Evian through some small tricks. .
After the two of them went back and forth, the atmosphere became even more tense. The two of them were fighting fiercely, but Murong Yuliang, who was sandwiched between them, had one head and two big heads. He was very embarrassed and was getting angry. One of them was The concubine, who knew both cold and heat, had a perfect connection with me, and the other was my own flesh and blood, the precious daughter in the palm of my hand. The palms and backs of these hands were full of flesh, and no one could part with her!
Seeing that Murong Qingwu was about to barge in, Murong Yuliang had no choice but to put on his clothes and ordered the servants outside the house:
"Let Qing Wu come in!"
"yes!"
With Murong Yuliang's order, the servants outside the house immediately opened the door respectfully and invited Murong Qingwu in. If it weren't for the strict rules of the Murong family, how could they, the servants, dare to stop the daughter of the Murong family? ················
Murong Qingwu walked into the room angrily and saw that there was no Evian figure in the room, only his old father. Looking at his father's tired look, Murong Qingwu also felt that his behavior was a bit too much. There was some apology on her face immediately, and just when she was about to say something, Murong Yuliang asked:
"Qing Wu, what's the matter with you?"
He is still very clear about his daughter Murong Yuliang. If she didn't have something very important, she would never come to him so suddenly at this time.
After hearing this, Murong Qingwu remembered the original purpose of coming and asked:
'Father, has the Fengwu Army ended the war in the palace capital? '
Although he was a little surprised that his daughter actually cared about military affairs, Murong Yuliang still nodded and said without thinking:
"Well, the news just came this morning. It is said that Yuan Song's first division wiped out more than 40,000 enemy troops in Gongdu's new army in Ruishan County. The leader of the bandits, Kang Xin, was killed in the battle. Now, Gongdu has It’s completely settled!”
"Yuan Song is really a fierce general! It is said that He Jingyun of the General Staff initially decided that Yuan Song would stand firm and wait for reinforcements, while Guo Zhiping rushed to support from the flanks. Both sides would work together to encircle and annihilate the new army in Gongdu. Unexpectedly, Yuan Song could handle the matter alone. ··············”
After sighing with emotion, Murong Yuliang was a little curious and asked Murong Qingwu:
"Qingwu, why are you suddenly concerned about this? And how did you know the news?"
Murong Qingwu heard this and explained:
"I know from the price of grain in Dongning today. In order to supply the army, the grain in the long-term granary was only limitedly supplied to the market. This also caused the price of grain in Dongning to have risen to one or two and eight silver dollars per stone."
"At noon today, the market price of grain per stone has dropped back to one or two and six cents per stone. It has basically fallen back to the level before the Fengwu Army sent troops to the palace. Therefore, it is obvious that the long-term granary should be sufficient to supply the market. , so I infer that it is very likely that the war in Gongdu is about to end..."
After hearing what his daughter said, Murong Yuliang nodded happily and praised:
"Qing Wu, you are really observing carefully, you are worthy of being the daughter of my Murong family!"
Murong Qingwu didn't seem to care much about her father's praise. She pondered for a moment and asked Murong Yuliang:
"Father, in less than a month, the Fengwu Army captured the palace capital. Their combat power is much stronger than we predicted before!"
"Yes! Ye Mingsheng is really a character! It's really admirable to bring out such a powerful army in such a short time from the beginning!" Recalling what Ye Mingsheng did, Murong Yuliang couldn't help but feel angry He sighed from the bottom of his heart:
Listening to her father's sigh, Murong Qingwu knew that Ye Mingsheng was completely convinced. He was a father who thought highly of himself. This also reminded her of the meeting between her and Ye Mingsheng when they were still in Fengzhou. One side.
At that time, she never thought that it was not right for her to use her own grain to open a porridge factory and give porridge to the people. In addition, the first and only time in her life that she was bullied with power was at the hands of Ye Mingsheng. , because of this incident, Murong Qingwu hated Ye Mingsheng for a long time, but as he learned more about Ye Mingsheng, Murong Qingwu felt more and more that this seemingly arbitrary and domineering young warrior was full of energy. An attractive and mysterious color····················
What would it be like if we could meet him again?
