Cen Shaoxun's hiding place was found somewhat unexpectedly, and he did not use the methods of torture and torture mentioned by Gao Pragmatic when he threatened Huang Ma.
He was found by the "United Nations Army" of the chieftains.
It turned out that after Huang Ma's second and third brothers were defeated by Cao Ke and others, the second brother died on the spot. The third brother immediately retreated with the remaining soldiers to a mansion owned by the Huang family in the north corner of Xicheng, and then directly killed Cen Shaoxun. He came out and asked for Cen Shaoxun in exchange for his group to leave the city.
Cao Ke and others who led the troops in pursuit did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so they quickly sent people to the state government office to ask Gao Jingshi for instructions.
Gao Pangshi didn't care at all whether Huang Laosan, whose name he didn't even know, escaped. Without Huang Ma and Lingyun City, where could he escape with hundreds of remaining soldiers? Sichengzhou can just leave this kind of clean-up work to himself when the time comes. He has no interest in meddling in other people's business.
So Gao pragmatic immediately agreed, but asked Cao Ke to ensure that Cen Shaoxun could be rescued.
It doesn't matter how Cao Ke and others completed this "deal". Anyway, Cen Shaoxun was brought back by Cao Ke in the end, but... he was really sick. He was so skinny that he couldn't even walk. He can't even walk a few steps. Without support, it's almost like losing the ability to move.
Mrs. Xu burst into tears after seeing him, sobbing, and she was no longer as strong and calm as before. This made Gao Pingshi couldn't help but sigh. It seems that Cen Ling said before that she and his eldest brother had a very close relationship. Deep is indeed not a lie.
Cen Ling himself had red eyes and shed tears in front of Cen Shaoxun.
Cen Shaoxun struggled to thank Gao pragmatism, and persuaded Cen Ling and Xu for a while before sighing and saying to Gao pragmatism: "On the stage, you also see what Xiaguan looks like now, alas... Xiaguan is hereditary. , but caused such a big mess, I really have no face to continue to be the governor of the state. According to the platform, I want to give up the position of the governor to Cen Ling, what do you think?"
Gao pragmatic sighed slightly and said: "When Cen Ling asked me to help him save you, he actually made a request, which was to keep this matter secret. Unfortunately, God is not as good as God, and this matter still made everyone pass by. I understand, this was my mistake, I hope you can forgive me."
Cen Shaoxun said with a bitter smile: "How can you blame the press? This matter is originally the fault of the official himself. Even if it is not spread out, the official's own conscience will not be at ease. Besides, after this incident, the official is also a little disheartened. I hope Being able to live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers, fishing, woodworking, farming and reading, with red sleeves adding fragrance, is how I live my remaining life." After saying that, he took a deep look at Mrs. Xu, and his love was too strong to be melted away.
Xu blushed slightly, but looked at him steadily, seemingly not caring at all whether he continued to be the local magistrate.
Only Cen Ling disagreed and expressed his opposition firmly.
Gao Pragmatic is a little confused about Cen Ling's attitude. Your eldest brother is unwilling to do it himself. Now you have me, the Guangxi patrol officer, to endorse this matter. You are justified in taking the position. Why is Mao unwilling? Although the face is good, is it good to have the position of a local emperor?
However, Cen Ling's attitude was extremely resolute. In the end, both parties took a step back. Cen Shaoxun rested peacefully and ignored the state affairs. When his son Cen Yunhan reached the age to take up the post, he let Cen Yunhan take over. During this period, the state affairs were handed over to Cen Ling. My uncle came to assist the government.
Although Gao Jingshi couldn't be said to be very satisfied, overall it was okay. After all, he didn't insist on supporting Cen Ling to be the governor. He just needed Cen Ling to cooperate with him and listen to his instructions.
Now that Cen Ling was willing to actually hold the power of Sicheng Prefecture, it was enough for Gao Pragmatic, so he took the initiative to express his willingness to bear witness to this.
After talking about the big things, it’s time to start talking about the “little things”.
After today's melee in Lingyun City, although there is not much blood flowing around, there are corpses and broken limbs everywhere in the city, and blood stains are everywhere in the city. It must be cleaned up, but there is no need for this. If you are pragmatic and concerned, the Chieftain's Yamen will naturally send someone to handle it properly.
However, as for how the remnants of Huang Ma's party should deal with this kind of thing, they must make a pragmatic decision, especially since there are also seven major problems, which must be considered carefully.
According to Gao Pragmatic's inner thoughts, the three Tumu who surrendered first can still be retained. But in the end, in Gao Pragmatic's opinion, the four Tumu can definitely suppress them.
However, Cen Ling had discussed this issue with him before. Cen Ling was unwilling to take action against these people. He hoped to take over Lingyun City in the most peaceful way to prevent Sicheng Prefecture from falling into continuous civil strife.
According to what Cen Ling said at the time, Gao Wushi has now made it clear that he needs the help of the Cen family. If the Cen family in Sicheng does not organize the internal affairs as quickly as possible, when Gao Wushi wants to use them in the future, they may not be able to come out. How much force.
Of course, this was not what Gao Jingshi wanted to see, so he agreed, saying that it was up to Cen Ling to decide how to deal with these subjects.
Another thing is the punishment of Huang Ma.
Huang Ma himself must die, and neither party has any objection to this. However, Gao Pragmatic believes that Huang Ma's tribe and his family's hereditary "territory" should be stricter.
Cen Ling felt that Huang Ma's clan members could be treated differently, and those who "did not show any evil" could be treated leniently. Only those who followed Huang Ma to seize power and mobilized troops to attack Taiwan could be severely punished. However, regarding Huang's "ancestral property", he and Gao Pragmatic had the same view, and both believed that it would be better to return it directly to the state government.
In view of the fact that these matters were Sicheng Prefecture's "internal affairs" in the final analysis, Gao Pragmatic finally agreed to do as Cen Ling said.
Cen Ling was very grateful to Gao Jingshi for his concession. In addition, Gao Jingshi rescued his eldest brother. Cen Ling was even more grateful to him. He repeatedly stated that the Cen family in Sicheng would only follow Gao's lead.
Gao pragmatic smiled: "I don't need any filial piety from you, I just hope you can stabilize the situation in Sicheng as soon as possible."
Cen Ling had always guessed that Gao Jingshi would use the power of Sicheng Prefecture, but he was not afraid. After all, Gao Jingshi could not lead them to rebel, so there was nothing to worry about.
After Cen Shaoxun went to rest with Xu's help, Gao Pragmatic saw that Cen Ling was in a daze and couldn't bear it any longer. He said, "I think, Seventh Young Master, you seem to have a good impression of Xu... Seventh Young Master, I don't want Sicheng to do this." Regeneration variables, do you know what I mean?”
Young Master Cen Qi was startled for a moment, then his face turned red, and he explained: "I'm sorry, you misunderstood. I have no other intentions towards my sister-in-law. It's just that my sister-in-law took good care of me after I came in... I have no intention of caring about my sister-in-law." If there is any disrespectful intention, please rest assured that my brother is well aware of the inside story, and nothing like what you are worried about will never happen."
Gao pragmatic took a deep look at him and said, "I hope so."
