Chapter 76: I Only Obey Lord Taishou
Guo Qian's Mansion.
At this time, the news of Ding Laosi's arrest had already spread, and the same situation had occurred in various counties and counties, where the bullies who were sheltered by the government on weekdays were surrounded and suppressed by a large number of soldiers who suddenly appeared.
Guo Qian just didn't know it.
In the hall, he was anxiously pacing back and forth, and his wife was wiping tears with a handkerchief on the side, and couldn't stop sobbing: "Good manner, why was the child arrested by the officers and soldiers, who is so bold......
She has been nagging for a long time, Guo Qian was already anxious, and when she heard the words, she was even more irritable, and she couldn't help but scold: "Are you annoyed!" It's been chattering endlessly! ”
"He's my nephew, and he's also your nephew, don't you care!" His wife continued.
"Oh, you don't understand!" Guo Qian became more irritable and said: "I haven't received any news from this arrest at all, and it's not the government that has come forward, but the army, you don't understand!" ”
"Then, isn't there also your henchmen in the army, aren't you the dignified Governor of Qin, who dares not to greet you." His wife continued to cry: "I don't care, no matter what, Xiao Si can't have an accident." ”
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Guo Qian is the fourth aunt of Ding Lao, and now that something has happened, can you not be in a hurry.
But when Guo Qian heard this, he said: "You are a woman, what do you know!" The new Taishou, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, has collected the military power, and now the situation in Qinzhou is complicated, and not everything is up to me. ”
"Then, even so, you are a long history, go and ask to see Lord Taishou, he will have to give you this face somewhat." His wife said, "If it really doesn't work, let's make money." ”
"Make money?" Guo Qian sneered and said, "Do you know what Taishou is going to do now?" He has already issued three decrees! First, completely eliminate the bandits in Qindi, second, eliminate the bullies everywhere, and third, prepare to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials! Didn't you ask me to make money at this time, and you stretched your neck up to the knife! ”
"Well, what should I do......" his wife also panicked.
Guo Qian looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Blame your nephew!" Lawlessness is getting used to it! I have looked for him before, and I have repeatedly told him to keep the new appointment too much, this new official will inevitably have three fires when he takes office, be careful to burn him! Let him settle down during this time, but he won't listen! Now that something has happened, how can I save him!? ”
But having said that, Guo Qian finally said irritably: "Okay, okay! I'll figure it out......"
Go to Xiao Yuan? Guo Qian knew in his heart that it might not work at all, but he knew that Ye Cheng was in charge of purging the bullies this time.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked out of the mansion quickly, preparing to go to Ye Cheng and press the latter with his official rank.
Ye Cheng is Xiao Yuan's old subordinate, since Liucheng, he has been following Xiao Yuan from birth to death, and he has a lot of military exploits, and his loyalty to Xiao Yuan is not much to say.
At this moment, he was sorting out a series of files of the Qinzhou bullies, ready to hand them over to Xiao Yuan later.
I heard that his subordinates reported that they said that Changshi Guo Qian wanted to see him, but because of his official rank, Ye Cheng had no choice but to greet him in person on the surface.
After the two met, Ye Cheng arched his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know if Lord Guo has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, I hope you will forgive me." ”
If you talk about official rank, Guo Qian is the governor of Qin, and Ye Cheng calls himself a subordinate official, which is also right.
When the latter heard this, he also returned the salute and said, "Hey? General Ye was too polite. ”
After the greetings, Ye Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand again: "Ah, Lord Guo, please come inside, talk in the house." ”
"Please."
After the two entered the living room, a sergeant brought tea, and Ye Cheng also got straight to the point: "I don't know if Lord Guo is here, what do you order?" ”
He went straight to the point, Guo Qian didn't know how to speak for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "I heard that General Ye mobilized the army, arrested many men, and shot more than a dozen people on the spot in the outer city?" ”
"No, no, no, I don't dare to do this, these are all on the orders of Lord Taishou, and the people arrested are not ordinary men, but local bullies."
Ye Cheng said: "In addition, as for shooting more than a dozen people, it was because these bullies were armed with sticks and openly resisted, and Lord Taishou also said that confronting the government is like rebellion." ”
"Rebellion?" Guo Qian was taken aback and said, "This, this, this is too serious, right?" ”
"Huh." Ye Cheng smiled, put down the teacup and said, "By the way, Master Guo hasn't said anything yet." ”
"Yes, yes." Guo Qian also laughed dryly, and then said: "In this arrest operation, there is one person named Ding Laosi, presumably, General Ye already knows the relationship between this official and this person, right?" ”
"That's right, the lower officials already knew about it afterwards." Ye Cheng nodded first, and then pretended to be helpless and said, "But Lord Guo also understands that this is Lord Taishou's order, and the subordinate officials can't help themselves." ”
"Of course, of course." Guo Qian continued: "This official is here for this matter, and I hope that General Ye can be accommodating here. ”
"Lord Guo means ......" Ye Cheng began to pretend to be stupid.
"It's both a bully and a personal order from Lord Taishou, so naturally there's nothing to say, but this official is here, can you take away the criminal Ding Laosi and take him to the government for trial." Guo Qian said that if he was really mentioned to the government, it is estimated that Ding Laosi would be released within two days.
When Ye Cheng heard this, he said with embarrassment: "This ...... I'm afraid not. ”
"Why not?" Guo Qian asked rhetorically: "I am the governor of Qin, and I don't even have this right to mention a prisoner and hand it over to the government for trial?" ”
"No, no, no, of course Lord Changshi has this right, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, Ye Cheng also glanced at Guo Qian and continued: "It's just that Lord Taishou has already explained, and Lord Guo is afraid that he will be disappointed." ”
Hearing this, Guo Qian was a little anxious, and immediately changed his statement, insinuating that "General Ye will also stretch in Qinzhou in the future, and he should understand the officialdom, otherwise, he may be burned and in a dilemma." ”
His words implied a threat, and when Ye Cheng heard this, he smiled lightly and said lukewarmly: "Hehe, this is not to worry about Lord Guo." ”
"No room for negotiation at all?" Guo Qian asked again.
Ye Cheng shook his head.
"That official is now ordering you as Governor of Qin!" Guo Qian had already stood up, ready to tear his face.
Ye Cheng also stood up and said very simply: "I'm sorry, I only obey Lord Taishou's orders." ”
"You!" Guo Qian was extremely angry, and after glaring at Ye Cheng angrily, he knew in his heart that there was no way to talk about this matter anymore, so he couldn't help but flick his sleeves and walk away.
