After all, Cen Qigongzi has a noble status in the Tusi world of Guangxi, although Huang Zhiting was afraid that he would come to dig his corner, but he couldn't help but treat him with courtesy, and arranged a temporary residence in a guest house for him.

Originally, she still had the idea of "whether to detain Cen Ling in Siming Mansion" in her mind for a moment, but she quickly ruled it out. There were two reasons why she didn't want to do this:

First, Sicheng Prefecture is currently in a situation of competition between the two tigers, once Cen Qigongzi is detained in Siming Mansion, Huang Ma can immediately grasp the power of Sicheng Prefecture, but Huang Ma's Huang is not the Huang of Siming Mansion, what is the benefit of him mastering Sicheng Prefecture to Siming Mansion?

Not to mention that Cen Shaoxun is not dead, even if he is dead, his only son Cen Yunhan is now in Guilin, if Huang Ma dares to usurp the power of Sicheng Prefecture, the most likely result is that the imperial court will take this opportunity to send troops to Sicheng Prefecture, although Sicheng Prefecture is strong, but since it is a tyrant in power, the other branches of the Guixi Cen clan will not help each other, but may respond to the call of the imperial court to send troops to Sicheng, and Sicheng will be defeated at that time.

What will happen if Sicheng is defeated? At first glance, it is the decline of the main branch of the Cen family again, and relatively speaking, the Huang family may be above the Cen family. But what's the point? At that time, the imperial court may directly change the land in Sicheng Prefecture and send the officials who rule directly to the core of the Tusi in Guixi.

Even if the imperial court decides to be more stable, it can send someone to send Cen Yunhan back to take office, and then use the excuse that Cen Yunhan is only four years old and cannot rule Sicheng, and send the liuguan Ren Tongzhi to assist him, and actually control Sicheng - if you do this, the imperial court will have all the righteousness, and the surrounding Tusi can't even find an excuse to rebel, so you can only eat Coptis dumbly, and you can't say anything about your suffering.

It can be seen that no matter how the imperial court chooses, for Guangxi Tusi, the "fall" of Sicheng Prefecture is a big defeat. It is not only the loss of the interests of the Cen family, but the entire Guangxi Tusi has to pay the price.

Therefore, although the seizure of Cen Qigongzi seems to have allowed the Huang family to find an opportunity to replace the Cen family and become the first Tusi family in Guangxi, behind this incense bait is the bloody mouth of the imperial court, and in the end the gains will outweigh the losses.

And the other reason is a little unspeakable. Huang Zhiting felt that if she did this, she might misunderstand Zhang Gongzi and think how vicious she was.

No matter which of these two reasons is more important, anyway, Cen Qigongzi got the opportunity to "be a guest Siming" and lived in another guest house not far from Gao Shishi's guest house.

After arranging "Zhang Gongzi" and Cen Qigongzi, Huang Zhiting, who had been away from the mansion for more than half a month, really couldn't delay any longer, so he could only go to meet with his local officials at all levels first, and quickly deal with some of the backlog of government affairs in Siming Mansion recently.

As soon as she left with her front foot, Cen Qigongzi walked out of his guest house with his back foot and went to the guest house of Gao Shishi.

After all, Cen Qigongzi is a distinguished guest, and Huang Zhiting is not good at ordering him not to go out, at most, he can't walk around in the backyard at will, but several guest houses are adjacent, and walking between the guest courtyards, the Huang family is naturally not easy to stop.

Cen Qigongzi came to visit, Gao Pragmatic seemed to have expected it, welcomed him in with a smile, and then ordered Huang Zhiting to send his subordinates to wait for him to go out and wait.

Huang Zhiting treated him very politely, and the subordinates couldn't figure out the situation, so they could only be ordered to leave, leaving the two distinguished guests to talk.

Who knew that as soon as they left, Cen Qigongzi, who had been meeting Gao Shi and politely just now, restrained his smile, and solemnly attended the ceremony of the lower officials, and said in his mouth: "Guangxi Cheng announced that the political secretary is directly under the Sicheng Prefecture Magistrate, and the lower official Cen Ling will see the Guangxi Patrol according to the imperial history master, according to Taiwan Jin'an!" ”

Gao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to cover it up: "Cen Qigongzi ......"

"The lower officials don't dare, there is something to do according to the stage, but please command."

The corners of Gao Shishi's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: Ciao, am I exposed? I'll just say that Cen Ling suddenly came to Siming Mansion with a good look, I originally thought that Lao Tzu's talent made him really reluctant to be cut off by Huang Zhiting halfway, but now it seems that it is not like that at all, or the identity of this patrol according to the imperial history is valuable!

"Hmm...... Get up and speak. "Anyway, it has been exposed, and Cen Ling has paid a big salute, obviously he is sure enough, and there is no point in concealing it at this time.

"Thank you." Cen Qigongzi stood up and stood aside respectfully, just like the usual toasts who saw the Guangxi patrol press - provided that this toast did not intend to rebel.

"Judge Cen, when did you know Ben Press's identity?" In fact, Gao Pragmatic still just learned about the official position of Cen Qigongzi, but although the official position of Tusi is the same as the name of the imperial court official, at most the word "soil" is added in front, but it is actually completely different.

Tusi has its land, the world governs its people, the world commands its soldiers, the hereditary office, the world governs its place, the world enters its stream, and the world is subject to its seal, and "killing people without asking for orders, and dying without worrying", this difference is very big.

Moreover, the official positions above their heads may not be consistent with the actual administration of the places they rule, for example, Cen Ling, the judge of Tuzhou, according to the imperial court system, is the administrative assistant of Zhizhou, who is in charge of grain and millet, tuntian, water conservancy, patrol and capture, horse herding, etc., and his rank is from the seventh grade, but he can run around Guangxi, and even come to Siming Mansion as a guest.

"Returning to press the platform, the lower official saw the carved wall of the press platform." Cen Qigongzi replied.

Oh, so this guy ran and ran and turned back......

Gao pragmatic nodded, no longer asking about this matter, but asked: "You came to Siming Mansion for this official?" ”

"According to the platform, the lower officials are just having something to ask the platform to uphold justice." Cen Qigongzi is colorful.

This made Gao Pragmatic a little surprised, you are such a big toast, and the court did not wronged you for rebellion, what do you want me to uphold justice?

However, the duties of the inspector did not specifically say that the toast was not outside the scope of his inspection, so the other party asked him to "administer justice" according to the rules, and he couldn't ignore it.

Therefore, Gao pragmatic nodded: "If you have any grievances, just come through the channel, and you will find out about it." ”

Cen Qigongzi said: "The lower official wants to sue Huangma, the local governor of Benzhou, for ignoring the imperial court system, under house arrest, assassinating the son of Zhizhou, usurping Sicheng, with ill intentions, and intent on rebellion!" ”

Gao Shipra has learned a lot about the situation of the two tigers in Sicheng Prefecture, but Huang Zhiting only knows that Cen Shaoxun of Tuzhi Prefecture in Sicheng Prefecture ignores government affairs, and everything is taken care of by Huang Ma and Cen Ling, but he doesn't know that he is under house arrest by Huang Ma!

And according to what Cen Ling said just now, this Huang Ma still assassinated Cen Yunhan? No wonder Cen Yunhan was sent to Guilin, it turned out that he did not take the initiative to provide protons, but sent him to take refuge.

This is a major event that is enough to shake Guangxi, Gao Pragmatic did not dare to ignore it, and his eyes stared: "This matter is big, you will tell it in detail, you must not miss a place, let alone pretend to be wrong." ”

Cen Ling said that he didn't dare, and then told Gao Pragmatic and Gao Xun about the causes and consequences of the so-called "two tigers fighting" in Sicheng Prefecture.

According to Cen Ling, the Huangma family only came to prominence when Cen stormed Sicheng Prefecture in the past, and "it is no more than three generations expensive". At that time, Huang Ma's grandfather was originally just an ordinary native in Sicheng Prefecture, relying on his family power to control the territory of several villages.

When Cen Meng came to attack, Cen was invincible, so he transferred the Tumu near Lingyun City, the state capital, to jointly defend Lingyun City. As mentioned earlier, this battle was fought back and forth for several years, and Huang Ma's grandfather was gradually promoted to more important positions because of his effective fighting.

And because Cen Meng swept back and forth around Lingyun City, many originally strong clans were greatly injured, and Huang Ma's grandfather relied on his military exploits and the Cen family's trust and reward, and his strength gradually expanded, and by the time the imperial court put down the Cen Meng Rebellion, Huang Ma's grandfather was already the most powerful Tumu near Lingyun City except for the Cen family.

After Huang Ma's father, when Huang Ma became a Tumu, this person disguised himself as Cen Shaoxun's right-hand dog, and responded to Cen Shaoxun's orders and requirements, while looking at the "Four Sects Tumu" - that is, several Tumu families responsible for the city defense of Lingyun City, and finally secretly completed the basic control of the city defense forces of Lingyun City.

Cen Shaoxun likes fishing and hunting, and often takes a team of wolf soldiers out of the mountains outside Lingyun City to fish and hunt, and finally when he returns from a hunt, he was transferred to the wolf soldiers controlled by the Cen family's own family by Huang Ma, who had already had a conspiracy to usurp power, and then put him under house arrest. And Cen Ling was not very old at the time, and he rarely showed up, so he was ignored by Huang Ma.

At the time of danger, Cen Ling, with the support of his family members and subordinates who were still loyal to the Cen family, picked up Cen Yunhan, the only son of Cen Shaoxun who had just been born, from the house, fought his way out of the siege, and rushed to the Cen wolf soldiers who were transferred away by Huang Ma, intending to lead his troops back to Lingyun City.

However, Lingyun City is the core of Sicheng Prefecture's rule for hundreds of years, especially after repeated reinforcements during the Cen Meng Rebellion, although the wolf soldiers are brave, they do not have any preparations for attacking the city at all, and the siege equipment is seriously insufficient, so they can only stop the troops under Lingyun City.

Moreover, Huang Ma has won over the four Tumu, and his strength is not weak, plus he controls Cen Shaoxun, and Cen Ling is even more of a rat trap - to be precise, at that time, the two sides were in a state of "being afraid of the wolf with a hemp pole", and no one could help anyone.

Cen Ling couldn't attack, and Huang Ma didn't dare to come out to fight with the main force of Cen Clan's wolf soldiers, so the two sides were deadlocked.

In the end, Huang Ma was a thief, and under the pretense of Cen Shaoxun's name, he ordered the two sides to shake hands and make peace, and at the same time secretly sent someone to discuss with Cen Ling, on the premise of ensuring that Cen Shaoxun was not assassinated, the two sides kept peace and jointly took charge of Sicheng Prefecture - this joint control is actually Huang Ma controlling Lingyun City and giving orders in the name of Cen Shaoxun, and Cen Ling controls the rest of Sicheng Prefecture, and whether he listens to orders or not depends on the outcome of the game between the two sides.

However, Cen Ling, who did not have Lingyuncheng in hand, was always worried about the safety of Cen Yunhan's little nephew, and finally gritted his teeth and sent him to Guilin to "hostage", although the status was a little embarrassing, but it could ensure safety - after all, the court still talks about the system and "the teacher is famous", and his Cen family has sent protons, and the court is not completely shameless, and he still does it to the Cen family.

After the story of the Cen family in Sicheng is told, it is now the turn of Gao Pragmatic to express his position.
