Volume 1 Chapter 34: The Eve of the Shock
Lingzhou Prefecture Division Yamen.
Xu Zhengkuan walked out of the side hall wearing a light scarlet official robe, glanced at the door of the state department's yamen, and saw that no one was coming, so he took a long breath, and then slowly walked into the main hall of the yamen.
In the main hall, there is also a middle-aged man in a light scarlet official robe, which is the third task of the Lingzhou Prefecture Division, Lingzhou, don't drive!
Seeing this, Xu Zhengkuan walked in. "You've done a good job!" The middle-aged man was furious, picked up a teacup and fell to the ground, slamming the tea and splashing around, startling Xu Zhengkuan.
"If you have something to say, why be so angry?" Xu Zhengkuan didn't seem to be afraid of the middle-aged man's anger.
"Say what!?" The middle-aged man snorted angrily, threw him an extremely ugly face, turned his head and sat down.
"the!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, and a few words came out between his teeth, "No matter how you say it, can you reverse the current situation?" - Isn't it because you're not careful enough to make Tie Miao suspicious of you? Otherwise, why would we have come to this point! It's still wartime! How could an official like the state assassin not have contact with outsiders! But how long can we hide his body like this? - Tell me, how long can you hide? If this Mu Partridge is suspicious and leads his troops to fight the yamen of this state, what will you do! ”
"Oh, why do you blame me again?" Xu Zhengkuan said angrily, "It was your idea at the beginning, and when you saw that the matter was revealed, you did it first!" Now that things are at risk of failing, how can you blame me for all the faults? You and I are grasshoppers on a rope! ”
When the middle-aged man heard him say this, he immediately smiled kindly, stepped forward to caress Xu Zhengkuan's back, and said with a smile: "Lord Changshi is angry, and it is rude to offend the words when the officials are in a hurry, I hope that Lord Changshi can forgive his sins!" ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that. How's the rest going? Xu Zhengkuan pondered for a moment and said.
"Everything is almost done, those officials who oppose it have also been detained in the yamen by me, and some low-level military attaches who come from all over the place under the pretext of coming are also training people! But it will take some time."
Yes, Qin Yu has been following the instructions of the state secretary yamen for the past few days, training the people who were requisitioned from all over the city.
The middle-aged man sighed, "You, hey! He said, "You only need to wait for a few days to get things done, why do you have to deal with that general Wang so desperately!?" ”
"Don't share the hatred of the sky!" "Did he kill your father, or did he take your wife?"
"-------" Xu Zhengkuan choked lightly, forced a smile on his face, and said: "This guy won't die for a day, I won't be able to turn over for a day, and I will even be in danger of my life." ”
"But you made a lot of moves, and this guy didn't hurt in the slightest, but things got bigger and bigger!" The middle-aged man spread his hands helplessly and said, "Now that I have boarded your thief ship, there is no reason to go ashore again." Let's talk about the current situation - now this Mu Partridge may smell something. What if he must see Tie Miao? If he leads his soldiers to break into the yamen, who can really stop him? ”
"If he wants to see it, then let him see it." Xu Zhengkuan smiled coldly, reached out and touched the two mustaches at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Lord Thorn Shi is just sick in bed and inconvenient to deal with political guests, and he was not murdered by anyone." ”
"Then if Mu Lu questioned and asked to see that Tie Miao, he said that even though the two of us had already killed this Tie Miao and controlled the state division. But the strength of his men is still inferior to Mu Partridge's soldiers, what if this is the case? The middle-aged man is most worried about this matter.
"No, it won't." Xu Zhengkuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled confidently, "I have my own clever plan to deal with all this!" ”
"-------" The middle-aged man saw that he didn't want to go into details, and he was a little depressed, but it was not easy to ask the end. The two talked about official positions, Xu Zhengkuan was a superior, and he was a subordinate. The actual controller behind this matter is also Xu Zhengkuan, who was just forced to be pulled onto a thief ship!
Something like this, Xu Zhengkuan has done it many times, and he almost has to "get used to it".
"Alright then, it's up to you." The middle-aged man had no choice but to say so. Very helpless, but also very compromised.
Xu Zhengkuan squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, smiling quite contentedly. He admired this official of the same rank as himself for speaking to him with such an attitude.
This middle-aged man can only persuade himself to endure more in his heart, and if he can hit it off with Xu Zhengkuan, he will naturally "give people a handle"!
As a Lingzhou driver, this middle-aged man is Tie Miao's hand, and in the past, he had to have Tie Miao's approval to do anything. All his power comes from the gift of Tie Miao, the superior.
But only from the beginning of the siege of the Hu army, after the affairs of grain and grass distribution! After listening to Hou Tiemiao's orders all the year round, he finally enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being in power, giving orders by himself, and deciding the future and life and death of others. Not to mention anything else, in the past, those Lingzhou officials who looked above the top or looked at him wrongly, for a bag or two of grain, now they are like a watchdog meeting their master, waging their tails and begging for mercy.
It's a wonderful feeling. Mountains of gold and silver and thousands of charms can't exchange for the pleasure brought by power! In his opinion, it is commonplace for people to die for money, and it is a small fight. The big husband is in power, and he would rather die, this is the truth! Perhaps, this is the supreme truth in the minds of many people.
Power, this thing is like a drug, once you get it, it is difficult to quit, and it needs to be constantly increased in doses to maintain the pleasure of power. There has never been a lack of people in history who have gone into camps, sold their bodies, sold their dignity, sold their souls, betrayed their country and nation, and even killed each other in order to compete for greater power, leaving all their feelings behind!
But just when he was indulging in the ocean of power, Xu Zhengkuan suddenly came to the door a few days ago and informed his son that he was selling military rations in the city without permission and was attacked and killed in the streets! If this matter hurts Tie Miao, the rights he has won so hard will be in vain in an instant!
How can you just enjoy the beauty of power, and how can you be willing to give it up?
And Xu Zhengkuan promised him that as soon as the siege ended, Lingzhou, the land of the state, would be his world. The right to dump is just around the corner!
That's why he boarded Xu Zhengkuan's thief ship! Seek skin with the tiger!
