Gu Zhan frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. This Wan Yan was too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that even a normal person would realize something was wrong.
"Don't stand still," Wan Yan did not give Gu Zhan a chance to speak. He directly greeted everyone and said, "Come in, everyone. The banquet is ready. I am new here, and I have been thinking of finding an opportunity to entertain you all." Colleagues, I hope you will take good care of me in the future.”
"Master Wan, please!"
"Master Wan, please!"
Everyone greeted Wan Yan very politely.
Wan Yan didn't pretend to be too polite and walked straight forward. However, he stood close to Gu Zhan and said very enthusiastically: "Come on, brother Gu, let's go together."
Gu Zhan said hurriedly: "My lord, please come first."
"Don't be so polite," Wan Yan took Gu Zhan's hand and said, "During the time I came to Jiangcheng, Brother Gu's name was very well known to me. There is no more outstanding young man than you!"
"We, the Jin Yiwei, just need young people with strength and motivation like you. Old guys like us can't last a few more years. From now on, the Jin Yiwei will still have to rely on young heroes like you, Brother Gu..."
"Brother Gu's straightforward style suits my temper. From now on, I will have to ask Brother Gu for more help in Linjiang City."
"..."
"I'm not young anymore. I won't be able to do this for a few more years. When the time comes, I'll have to take care of you, brother Gu."
"..."
Wan Yan just pulled Gu Zhan and walked in front, unabashedly expressing his appreciation for Gu Zhan, talking non-stop along the way.
The hundreds of royal guards behind them all had different expressions.
Especially the few people from aristocratic families, all looked at the backs of Gu Zhan and Wan Yan and pondered, not knowing what they were thinking.
Soon, everyone came to the hall and took their seats.
After sitting down, everyone's expressions were also very subtle.
Because Gu Zhan's position was actually the chief after the main position.
This seat
Not only were others surprised, but Gu Zhan was also surprised.
Regardless of his seniority or age, he should not be sitting here.
However, Wan Yan just arranged it like this.
After taking a seat,
Wan Yan picked up the wine and toasted everyone with a smile, then poured another glass of wine, looked at Gu Zhan and said: "Brother Gu, I will punish myself with three drinks first. I have been neglecting you a lot in the past few days!"
Having said that, regardless of Gu Zhan’s attempts to stop him,
I drank three glasses of wine quickly.
Gu Zhan looked at this scene with a calm expression, but he became wary in his heart.
This Wan Yan definitely has a big problem.
The banquet was also relatively quiet, and no one spoke.
After Wan Yan drank a few glasses of wine, he glanced around the crowd with a smile and said slowly: "Everyone is a little restrained, so there's no need for that. We should eat and drink as we should, and we have enough wine and meat!"
Everyone responded politely, and the atmosphere was very deserted.
Wan Yan drank another glass of wine and said with a smile: "Since everyone is not in the mood to drink, I will get straight to the point. I called everyone here today for two things. First, I am new here, so I want to recognize someone. .
Now that people have almost recognized it, let’s talk about the second thing directly, which is about the picket team during this period. "
As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly became audible.
The atmosphere also became more subtle.
Everyone knows that it's time to get down to business,
This so-called picket team has disgusted everyone present during this period. They are all backed by aristocratic families, so they will not be hurt, but they are causing trouble in their own territory every day, but no one can bear it. .
Wan Yan said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone. The picket team has caused a lot of trouble to everyone during this period. However, I hope everyone can understand that the Imperial Guard is an important weapon of the country and cannot be slacked off. .”
Everyone was silent and didn't speak.
"I have a jealous temperament. I have been working as a Jinyiwei officer for more than 20 years and have been a Qianhu member for ten years on and off. Wherever I go, I like to make the Jinyiwei look pure and clean. There is no room for any sand in my eyes."
Wan Yan poured a glass of wine and continued: "Pickets have been a habit of this officer for so many years. Everywhere we go, we will first have the pickets clean up from top to bottom and drive out those who are corrupt and pervert the law.
This picketing operation has been successfully concluded.
Today, I called everyone here because there are some words that are not suitable for outsiders to hear. Our Jinyiwei's own affairs should be discussed behind closed doors to avoid embarrassing Jinyiwei. "
After all,
Wan Yan waved, and a team of picket guards came in, each holding a pile of official documents in their hands, and then placed them in front of each household, except for Gu Zhan.
In the midst of everyone's confusion, Wan Yan spoke again and said: "Everyone, take a look. These are crimes committed by the Jinyiwei officials under your command. They should have been arrested by the picket team. However, considering that everyone To save my face, this picket operation only arrested officials but did not touch them. How about we give each other a step forward on some matters?"
Following Wan Yan’s words,
Hundreds of households read the official documents.
Gradually, everyone's faces became ugly.
No need to guess, there must be many of their confidants on this list.
The atmosphere at the table became increasingly dull and depressing.
Finally, one of the 100 households took the lead and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wan. I understand that everyone on this list will voluntarily resign tomorrow. Jinyiwei will never allow ***** to destroy the morale."
Immediately afterwards, the independent hundreds of households in Qianhu Office and Qianhu City all expressed their stance.
Only two people remained silent.
One is Gu Zhan, who didn't receive the list at all, and the other is Rong Hao, a member of a hundred households in Dongcheng.
There are eight hundred households in the Qianhu Office, who are mainly responsible for the county towns in Linjiang County. In addition, there are four hundred households in the city, who are responsible for the four sub-cities in the southeast and northwest.
This Rong Hao is in charge of Dongcheng. His identity is not only that of a hundred households, he is also a member of the Rong family of Linjiang County, which has been a family for hundreds of years. He has a high status in the Rong family and is not very old, only in his thirties. He is quite famous in Linjiang City.
At this time, Rong Hao's face was very ugly. He slowly raised his head and looked at Wan Yan. He threw the official document on the table and said, "Master Wan, do you want to remove your official position?"
Everyone's hearts trembled and they were all very surprised.
Wan Yan said with a smile: "Master Rong, there is no need to bring some things to light, right? I won't talk about how many shady things you have done in the past few years by taking advantage of your duties as a Jinyiwei. After all, , everyone should still look up and not look down, and save some face for each other, right?"
Everyone understood instantly,
Rong Hao had something that Wan Yan found out.
In fact, with today's Jin Yiwei, no official has done anything bad. However, as long as no evidence is obtained, there will be no problem. But looking at Rong Hao, he has leaked a lot of information.
Rong Hao pondered for a while, snorted softly, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wan, for showing mercy. It's okay to let Xiaguan resign on his own initiative. However, the customs and customs of Linjiang City are a bit special. I am worried that Mr. Wan will temporarily resign. We can't find a suitable person to take over Dongcheng. The atmosphere in Dongcheng has never been very good. My lord, please think twice!"
Everyone can hear it,
Rong Hao was threatening Wan Yan.
After all, the major families in Dongcheng have always been headed by the Rong family. If the Rong family stamped their feet, Dongcheng would be turned upside down.
On the main position,
Wan Yan still smiled and said: "There is no need for Mr. Rong to worry about me. I already have a suitable candidate."
After saying that, Wan Yan looked at Gu Zhan and said, "Master Gu is young and promising, and he is very capable. He is very suitable. Those who are capable work hard. Master Gu is only responsible for one Nancheng. It is too unqualified. From now on, Dongcheng will also Just take care of it all!"
