March 25th is the annual Blue Moon Festival. Different from the past, this time Shen Hao ate blue moon cakes in the military camp, and as an exception, he was able to distribute half a catty of fruit wine.
Compared with the blue moon cakes I had eaten before, the skills of the cooks in the army were obviously much rougher. Although the taste was not bad, the texture was far worse. If blue moon cakes of this level were sold in Fengri City, no one would buy them.
However, blue moon cakes of this level are very popular among the military.
What is blue moon cake? It's the atmosphere! It's comfort! It’s a good day out from the killing!
The mind that is gloomy or bloody all day needs something simple and warm. Seeing how even people like Li Jiang and Zhang Ye, who obviously enjoy a high-class life, eat with gusto, you can tell that it is rare to enjoy food from home in the military.
While eating blue moon cake, Shen Hao couldn't help but recall the scenes of the Blue Moon Festival in previous years. I don’t know if there are still people involved in the Blue Moon Club in Fengri City in this current situation?
As for the half kilogram of fruit wine Shen Hao gave to Li Jiang, he couldn't get used to drinking this kind of "wine" with a sour taste.
Although it was a holiday, the things in Shen Hao's hands were not missing.
On the one hand, it is to monitor the internal affairs of the envoy. This aspect is relatively simple. Because the supervisory envoys were set up "for" the supervisory army, but now that the supervisory troops have kept silent and become nothing more than nothing, it means that the supervisory envoys' functions have been idle. If Shen Hao hadn't asked them to secretly record the omissions of the military commanders and the slackness of the military supervisors, there would really be nothing to do.
On the other hand, there are matters within Xuanqing Guard in Fengli City. Even though Shen Hao is in the army now, he has not left behind the affairs in Fengri City. Of course, he doesn't need to worry about ordinary trivial matters. Wang Yiming is also very capable and can naturally handle them well. But there are always some things that require him to make decisions, so the news coming from Xuanqingwei channels has been far more recent than that of the Supervisory Envoy.
Shen Hao was stunned for a while when he saw the news that Liao Chengfeng was now arrested.
I still remember that the senior member of Xuanqingwei whom I met for the first time was Liao Chengfeng. At that time, we were on the painting boat on the bank of Baijiang River, and Shen Haoru was laughing at him. Later, when Jiang Cheng came to power, Liao Chengfeng was transferred to Jingnan, and we never saw each other again. I didn’t expect it’s only been a few years? People are gone?
Of course, Liao Chengfeng's relevant documents will be reported to the emperor, and there must be conclusive evidence in them that can kill Liao Chengfeng. But these will not be announced to the public. Because "there is no need to publicize it widely" is essentially different from the previous uproar during Operation Clean West. In addition, the current situation in the country is delicate, so it is not appropriate to publicize this matter.
But Shen Hao understood that Liao Chengfeng's matter was definitely not just an internal purge. Later, Heishui also gave the news and revealed the secret behind Liao Chengfeng: he did not abide by the rules of Xuanqing Guard and relied on his strong background to stand alone with the third prince apart from Xuanqing Guard. It is an intolerable risk for everyone.
Shen Hao has established Blackwater since he arrived in Fengli City, and he has gained a new understanding of Xuanqing Guard after being exposed to many high-level power structures of the Jingji Dynasty. In his perception, Xuan Qingwei seemed to have overwhelming power and was not bound by the laws of the Jing Dynasty. The word "arrogant" in his actions was not an exaggeration.
But if Xuanqingwei commits a crime and is caught in a pigtail, he will not be judged by the law. In most cases, it will be far more miserable than a harsh sentence by the law.
Just like Liao Chengfeng, there is almost no news coming out to the outside world now, and outsiders don't even know whether he and his family are alive or dead. The actual situation was that according to Xuan Qingwei's habits, Liao Chengfeng must have been cold at this time, and no one in the family could run away.
Are you saying that killing Liao Chengfeng is really just and fair? Shen Hao didn't believe it.
Heishui has already revealed the details of Liao Chengfeng. There are many big forces involved, including the Xiu Clan and the Third Prince, which can explain a lot of things.
How many years has Liao Chengfeng served as the governor? First I was in Jingxi, then I went to Jingnan, and then I served as a Qianhu in Jingzhong. It can be said that I have been along the way for most of my life. Even if something happens, it won't happen in a day or two, it will definitely last for months and years. With Pang Ban's temperament and methods, would he not know what kind of person the governor under his command is?
There might be some other reasons for helping Liao Chengfeng get up. For example, regarding the influence of the emperor, perhaps Pang Ban was based on some other considerations at the time. Therefore, it is not unbelievable to tolerate Liao Chengfeng.
But everything has a degree. Pang Ban may be able to ignore Liao Chengfeng's many shortcomings and tricks, and even his secret identity. But Liao Chengfeng will never be tolerated to break Xuan Qingwei's bottom line.
Pang Ban was so honest that he didn't dare to get involved in the "big exam" of the royal family, but Liao Chengfeng wanted to lead the Jingnan Xuanqing Guards to side with the third prince? Does this count as directly dragging Pang Ban into the water?
Do you really think that Pang Ban doesn't dare to kill people if he dares to do this?
The most interesting thing for Shen Hao is that Pang Ban took the blame for Jiang Cheng. The attitude shown to the outside world was that Jiang Cheng was seeking "private enmity" and took the "private enmity" as an opportunity to finally involve a high-level person within the Xuanqing Guard. sudden replacement. He even washed the entire Jingnan Xuanqing Guard.
Is this the Jiang Cheng brand fig leaf that Pang Bian pulled up? The answer is yes. But the purpose is not to hide shame, but to avoid suspicion.
Although "private hatred" sounds unpleasant, what does it mean to Xuan Qingwei? People in the street regarded Xuan Qingwei as a evil spirit and feared him. Zheng Shui didn't know how much he had said in private, but he didn't dare to say it publicly.
So there is no need to cover up Xuan Qingwei's shame, the main thing is to avoid suspicion. Lest anyone regard the matter of dealing with Liao Chengfeng as Pang Ban's relationship with the third prince. Even if this is true, as long as he is not on the stage, Pang Ban can pretend to be blind with his eyes closed.
One of the direct reasons why this matter makes Shen Hao think so much is that even a big boss like Pang Ban needs Jiang Cheng as a fig leaf to hide his intentions before he dares to deal with his subordinates. Does this mean that Is the situation within the DPRK more than just "tense"?
To use a word that appears many times in the messages sent by Black Water, it is: as silent as a cicada.
I dare not speak anymore. As long as anyone is self-aware and knows that he is not qualified to join the team, no one dares to speak nonsense at this time, for fear that if he says anything wrong, he will be labeled as "a certain prince" and then be killed in a daze.
This is no joke, this is real. According to Heishui's news in the Imperial City, in the month of February alone, the heads of the Imperial City's local government offices and the generals of the four gate guards all took turns. The fate of those who were raped was miserable, and it stunk anyway.
What are you doing?
Fight for the knife handle in the imperial city!
