Dongning, in the study room of Gufu.
Huo San, who came quietly, said to Gu Sansi guiltily:
"Sir Gu, I have found out clearly that the information was released by those gangsters from the Yun family. The boss of Song Ji Company, which was previously involved in the disaster relief case, is named Song, but the boss behind the person named Song is them."
"Their despicable deeds were caught after being investigated by our Coordination Office, causing the Yun family to lose a lot of money. It seems that they released the news this time to take revenge on me! Unexpectedly, they brought Gu My lord, you have been implicated..."
At this point, Huo San clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Gu Sansi to show his guilt.
Listening to what Huo San said, a trace of undetectable hatred flashed in Gu Sansi's eyes. Some time ago, a rumor spread among the people in Liaoyang that Gu Sansi and Huo San had a close personal relationship and often met in secret. Bad intentions!
To be honest, compared to other officials, Gu Sansi and Huo San did have more exchanges!
But this is entirely because Gu Sansi is now in charge of Liaoyang's diplomacy, such as the arms trade with Youyan, and the diplomatic work with the Khitan, Luobei people, and Gongdu people, and Huo San's coordination office is also located in these places. , spying on military intelligence and conducting intelligence activities, so the work scope of the two people has many overlaps, so exchanges are inevitable.
Apart from this, the two people do not have any secretive personal relationship as the rumors said. At most, they are two people who are colleagues and followed Ye Mingsheng from the poor and remote Fengzhou. , we had a casual meal and drank two glasses of wine together. There was absolutely no such thing as frequent secret gatherings with evil intentions as the rumors said...
So when he first heard such rumors, Gu Sansi didn't pay too much attention. After all, with Ye Mingsheng's trust, he now also holds an important position in Liaoyang and is one of the most senior officials in the government. There are some unrealistic rumors about him. The existence of rumors is not a strange thing!
Therefore, Gu Sansi believed that the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid. He felt that this unrealistic statement would be self-defeating if spread for a few days, so he was prepared to ignore it!
But what he never expected was that instead of dissipating with the passage of time, the rumors became more fermented!
This immediately aroused Gu Sansi's high vigilance. Judging from his political sensitivity, he felt that there was a black hand behind this that was silently promoting all this...
Although he felt that with Ye Mingsheng's mind, talent, and trust in himself and Huo San, he would definitely not believe such nonsense, but because he didn't know who was behind this, Gu Sansi drafted a proposal to split it just to be on the safe side. The memorial from the Coordination Office was handed to Ye Mingsheng.
After pondering for a while, Gu Sansi explained to Huo San:
"In the future, if it is not necessary, Director Huo, please don't come to my private residence. I don't know how many eyes are watching in the dark!"
Listening to Gu Sansi's words, Huo San's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he said with some confusion:
"I said Master Gu, what are you afraid of? With the mind of our military governor, how can he not see that there is someone behind this to sow discord? The relationship between gentlemen between me and you, Master Gu, is pure and innocent. What's the point? Taboo?"
"And Mr. Gu, why do you have to advise the Governor to split up our command and control office? Mr. Gu, you are going a little too far..."
Feeling Huo San's doubts and dissatisfaction, Gu Sansi sighed and said helplessly:
"Director Huo, people's words are scary, three people can become a tiger!"
"Among the current Liaoyang officials, the only ones above me in ancient times are Cui Shao, the chief envoy, and Murong Yuliang, the inspector-general. Moreover, I also do diplomatic work, so I have great power and responsibility!"
"And you, Director Huo, lead the Coordination Office of our only intelligence agency in Liaoyang. This is the absolute key to real power in Liaoyang!"
"For Lord Governor, it doesn't matter whether the rumors are true or false. What's important is that if you and I really have bad intentions, then you and I will cause great damage to the Fengwu Army!"
"This move of the Yun family is really vicious. If the warlord hadn't been so wise and powerful, but if it had been a mediocre and incompetent person, there's no chance that this would have been a good thing... ·”
At this point, a look of joy flashed across Gu Sansi's expression, and then he said to Huo San seriously:
"Director Huo, don't worry. In the short term, at least for this year, no matter what I say to the Governor, the Governor will never split up your Coordination Office!"
Huo San, who trusted Gu Sansi very much, suddenly looked happy when he heard Gu Sansi's affirmation, but before he could say anything, he just listened to Gu Sansi continue to say decisively:
"But in the long run, the split of your Coordination Office is inevitable!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo San's face suddenly froze with joy. He thought for a while and tried to understand Gu Sansi's words, but he still couldn't get the point, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked Gu Sansi deeply again. Yili said:
"Please Sir Gu, please give me some advice!"
Seeing that Huo San insisted on speaking out by himself, Gu Sansi wanted to refuse, but seeing Huo San's sincere gesture, he couldn't help but soften his heart. He organized his words and asked:
"The reason why the Governor will not split up the Coordination Office at this stage is because he has a great talent and plans to dominate the world, so he needs a powerful intelligence agency to assist..."
"So in order to help the growth of the Coordination Office, I will not restrict you with some rules and regulations, and I will ignore some of your shady little actions!"
"However, when the world is settled, the split of the Coordination Office will be inevitable. No matter who the superior is, as long as he is not too stupid, he will never allow a power monster like the Coordination Office to exist, because of its existence It will threaten the foundation of rule!"
Gu Sansi's sharp analysis immediately pierced the window paper in Huo San's heart, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
After thinking deeply for a moment, Huo San respectfully bowed to Gu Sansi and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your guidance. Huo San has been taught a lesson! Huo San will remember your great kindness and kindness!"
Seeing Huo San's serious look, Gu Sansi also felt that what he just said was not in vain. He hesitated and added:
"Director Huo has one last message for you! Your Majesty the Governor is as wise and mighty as the Qin Emperor and Han Ancestor, so you have to be extremely careful in your actions. You must know that walls have ears. There is no airtight wall in this world..." ········”

·······················
In the south of Dongning City, there is Qingfeng Tea House.
As the teahouse with the best and most prosperous business in Dongning and even Liaoyang, even though it is almost the middle of winter, it is bitterly cold outside, and the people of Liaoyang have already begun to experience cat winter, the teahouse is still full of people and bustling at this time!
The famous scene in the drama "Splashing Water in Front of a Horse" is being performed on the stage of the teahouse.
In front of the horse, I asked the sky how Cui made such a big mistake.
I, the daughter of a wealthy family, should not have married into a wealthy family.
Since I am willing to marry into the Peng family, I should live in poverty as a commoner in Jingchai.
I hold a red candle to achieve my ambition, and inspire my husband and son-in-law to pursue fame and fortune. Riches, honor, and false fame are too much to mislead me.
I made the mistake of relying on the wrong person for my whole life. He couldn't carry water and chop firewood, and he couldn't support my family.
He failed the imperial examination for nine years, but succeeded once. He became a stranger.
Strangers don't recognize each other, and throwing water in front of a horse is even more chilling.
It is difficult to prove that nothing is permanent in life, and the red candle burns out and turns into smoke.
He is who he is, I am who I am, I cannot recycle it by covering it with water, I suddenly wake up from a crazy dream.
Oh my God, you told me to throw away this home-brewed bitter wine!
Under the vigorous performance of the actors on the stage, the audience in the teahouse, without exception, listened with gusto and couldn't help but applaud...
However, in such a lively atmosphere, no one would have thought that a secret meeting was taking place in a little-known secret room on the second floor of the teahouse.
"It turns out that this Qingfeng Tea House is the property of your Master Cui. The Cui family has really deep secrets!" Looking at the expressionless Cui Shaoyun in front of him, Hanjie said with some emotion:
As the most business-oriented family among the three clans in Liaoyang, the Yun family has naturally been eyeing the Qingfeng Teahouse, which is making a fortune in Dongning.
The Yun family had previously thought about taking the Qingfeng Teahouse under their control, and found Liu Qing, the owner of the Qingfeng Teahouse. However, Liu Qing's attitude was very determined. No matter how much money the Yun family paid, he would just say - —Not for sale!
Such an attitude of unwillingness to cooperate also angered the Yun family, so they wanted to use measures against Liu Qing. However, they did not expect that many people would come out to lobby for Liu Qing. With the common face of these people, The Yun family had no choice but to give up.
At that time, the Yun family only thought that Liu Qing had a wide circle of friends and great reputation, but now they know that behind Liu Qing there is the Cui family, the true god...
Regarding Yun Hanjie's sigh, Cui Shao did not respond, but took a deep look at Yun Hanjie and asked in a deep voice:
"Song Ji Company belongs to your Yun family, right?"
Feeling Cui Shao's attitude, Yun Hanjie was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said:
"Yes, it's us! What happened?"
After getting a positive answer from Yun Hanjie, Cui Shao looked at Yun Hanjie and continued to ask:
"Do you really not know? Or are you just pretending to be here?"
Yun Hanjie was even more surprised when he said these words. Although he didn't know what happened, looking at Cui Shao's serious expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at Cui Shao with a very serious look. He said sincerely:
"Master Cui, Brother Cui! You know my physical condition. When the weather is cold in winter, I feel uncomfortable all over and hurt everywhere. If you hadn't invited me here, I would never leave the house. Recently I have been recuperating at home, and my nephew Guanjing is taking care of everything at home..."
Seeing what Yun Hanjie had said, Cui Shao was also willing to believe what he said, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"Have you heard the recent rumors in the government about the relationship between Huo San and Gu Sansi?"
Yun Hanjie nodded and said:
"I have heard about this, but I don't know who did it..."
At this point, Yun Hanjie suddenly stopped. He was not a fool and he reacted immediately. When he thought of Cui Shao's inquiry, he knew that his guess was close to the truth. His expression instantly darkened, but he still cautiously asked Cui Shaoqiu testified:
"Brother Cui, is it really our Yun family that did this?"
Under Yun Hanjie's gaze, Cui Shao nodded and said:
"The news I got is that your Yun family lost a lot of money after being arrested by the Communications Office for Song Ji Trading Company. So in order to retaliate against Huo San, you created news about him and Gu Sansi and spread the news. !”
Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, Yun Hanjie couldn't help but close his eyes in pain after receiving confirmation from Cui Shao.
As long as rumors are a clumsy strategy, if it is used against a mediocre and incompetent person, it may have a very good effect, kicking Huo San from the position of director of the Coordination Department and avenging one stone... ·············
But you have to know that you are facing the treacherous and cunning Ye Mingsheng!
Isn't this just being seen through at a glance?
And even if you are making small moves behind your back, you should do it in a concealed manner!
Now that even Cui Shao, an outsider, knows about it, Huo San, who manages the Coordination Office, must also have found out. And that's not all. You've also offended Gu Sansi with this news!
Gu Sansi was Ye Mingsheng's mastermind, his most trusted adviser!
If he takes advantage of Ye Mingsheng's place, then the Yun family's life will be really difficult...
Although looking at Yun Hanjie's painful look, Cui Shao felt a little pitiful for him, but he continued:
"On such a big matter, your Yun family can only make the decision between you and Yun Guanjing. Since you don't know about it, Hanjie, it seems that this matter is decided by your nephew Yun Guanjing!"
Yun Hanjie did not refute these words. He pondered for a moment and said to Cui Shao:
"Brother Cui, I just learned about this. I need some time to understand the situation!"
At this point, Yun Hanjie turned to Cui Shao, bowed and clasped his fists, and asked sincerely:
"Brother Cui, our three clans in Liaoyang have always been on the same page, and Han Jie has always followed your lead, Brother Cui, over the years!"
This time we have fallen into the hands of Ye Mingsheng. With Ye Mingsheng's ruthless character, he will definitely not let us go easily, so this time, no matter what, please help our Yun family get through the difficulties... ·············”
Upon hearing this, Cui Shao was silent for a while and then suddenly asked Yun Hanjie:
"Do you want to protect the cloud crown scenery?"
