Pei Hong frowned when he heard this and said, "Why did Datong Mansion send someone here!"
I have been waiting for news from the capital. Unexpectedly, the news from the capital has not been received yet. Datong Mansion sent someone first.
As the governor of Datong, he has to share the power of the governor. Unless he is willing to be a puppet after taking office, he will offend the local governor sooner or later.
It has been some time since he took office in Datong, and his relationship with the governor of Datong was limited to one visit when he first took office. Later, due to the incident involving the guard of Xinpingbao, he and the governor had a bad relationship, and the two parties had no contact with each other.
At this time, the governor's Yamen sent people to Yanghe to guard, which made him feel very strange.
"Master, I'm afraid the person coming here is not kind!" Pei Shun reminded from the side.
Pei Hong stroked the beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to the officer: "Bring the people in!"
The officer bowed his head and left the back office.
Not long after, the police officer came in from outside with a middle-aged man wearing a long gown.
"Students have seen the Inspector." As soon as the middle-aged man entered the back office, he first saluted Pei Hong and his party.
Pei Hong glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Du came to my office. Could it be that the governor has something to do?"
Du Wanyuan, the aide next to the governor, came.
When he went to Datong Mansion to visit the governor, he met Du Wanyuan and was deeply impressed by the staff beside Governor Liu Hong.
"This is a reply from the capital. Please take a look at it." Du Wanyuan took out an official document from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
Pei Shun on the side came over, took the official document, and sent it to Pei Hong.
Pei Hong opened the official document and flipped through it.
After reading it, he closed the official document again, and then said to Du Wanyuan: "Go back and tell the governor that I know."
"Students are coming to Yanghewei this time. Dong Weng has something for students to bring to the Inspector." Du Wanyuan looked at Pei Hong.
Pei Hong looked at Du Wanyuan in front of him and asked, "What message did the governor ask you to bring to me?"
"Dong Weng said that it is best for the Inspector not to follow the old path of his predecessor, and be careful of the Donglin Party." Du Wanyuan looked at Pei Hong with a smile.
Pei Hong's expression changed when he heard this.
The threats in his words made him furious. At the same time, he also thought of the tragic situation of Wang Xinyi, the previous governor of Datong. Although he returned to Beijing, he lost his job as censor, and in the end he could only return to his hometown in despair.
Du Wanyuan looked at the expression on Pei Hong's face and said with a smile: "It seems that the Lord has understood the meaning of the Governor. The students will not disturb the Lord and leave."
With that said, he cupped his hands towards Pei Hong, turned around and walked out of the house.
The officer who brought him to the back office hurriedly followed him.
"Master, this guy went too far. He just left like this. Master, why don't we arrest him and teach him a lesson?" Pei Shun saw that his master's face turned ugly because of Du Wanyuan just now, so he wanted to deal with Du Wanyuan as his master. Take it out.
Pei Hong glanced at him and cursed angrily: "Idiot, he is Liu Hong's most valued staff member. Try catching one of them. Do you think I have not made enough enemies?"
The anger he received from Du Wanyuan was vented on his long body.
Pei Shun curled his neck, drooped his head, kept his mouth shut and did not dare to refute, letting his master vent his anger.
Pei Hong, who had vented his anger, looked a little happy, and then said to the Chang Sui in front of him: "Are you afraid of Liu Hong when you become my official? What I am worried about is Wei Wei in the capital."
"Didn't Mr. Wang promise to keep you safe, sir?" Pei Hong said with confusion.
Pei Hong said: "You can't believe what you say in the officialdom. Wang Xinyi helped the Donglin Party to deal with Wei Eun's power in Datong. He served as the censor for a while, with no credit but hard work. But as soon as he returned to Beijing, he was killed by Wei. The eunuch found a mistake and took off his black gauze hat. From the beginning to the end, no one from the Donglin Party stood up and said a word to him."
"This..." Pei Shun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master, since you know these things, why did you still agree to Mr. Wang when you were in Beijing?"
There was a trace of confusion on his face.
Pei Hong said: "If I don't agree to Mr. Wang's request, the censor of Datong will be someone else."
No ordinary censor who stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not want to be released as a patrol censor.
Ordinary censors may seem noble in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but actually do not have much power. However, once they become a patrol censor in a local area, they will have great power and various benefits will follow.
"Master, what should we do next? If we don't do anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Wang to explain." Pei Shun mentioned Wang Wenyan.
After arriving in Datong, he realized that it was different from the Datong he had imagined before coming. His master could not control the power, and his long-term follower had no luck at all.
Pei Hong said with a distressed look on his face: "After I came here, I discovered that Datong is a monolith. It is difficult to deal with Wei Wei's power here. Fortunately, I have just taken office and there is still nearly a year left. I can always think of it." The solution."
"I'm afraid Mr. Wang won't give you such a long time." Pei Shun said to his master.
Pei Hong frowned and said, "Okay, I have my own plan. The tea is cold. Please give me a cup of hot tea."
Thinking of Wang Wenyan's explanation to him before leaving Beijing, he felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.
Before he came to Datong and took office, he thought that it might be difficult for him, a dignified censor, to deal with the governor of Datong, but he never expected that it would be so difficult.
Pei Shun picked up the bowl from the table and stepped back.
Pei Hong, who was leaning on the seat, rubbed his temples with two thumbs, and then picked up the reply sent by the governor.
The reply only said that there would be no reward or punishment for the Xinpingbao garrison, and that the merits and demerits would be balanced. As for the migration of the people of Datong to the grasslands, it did not mention a word.
The fact that the people of Datong were not mentioned shows that the imperial court acquiesced in this matter.
He understood that it was impossible for him to criticize the Xinpingbao defender and the Datong governor over this matter. This was also the meaning of Liu Hong's reply to him.
At this time, a police officer ran in from outside.
"Your Excellency, there is someone outside the Yamen who wants to see you. He claims to be the chief soldier of Datong Mansion."
Pei Hong was getting annoyed, and when he heard that he was the deputy commander, he waved his hand in displeasure and said, "No, tell him to go back to where he came from."
When he first came to Datong and took up his post, he was naturally willing to meet a deputy commander-in-chief.
But it's different now. He also has some understanding of the situation in Datong's officialdom. He knows that the deputy commander-in-chief is not powerful in Datong and is targeted by the commander-in-chief everywhere. The situation is much worse than that of his patrol commander.
