Guo Ting was so weak that he couldn't sleep, so he sneaked back to Chang'an and brought a lot of money to see Ding Cong.

"The charges you mentioned, Geng Taishou didn't bother to explain at all, and His Majesty the Emperor even disdained them. He is the uncle of the former dynasty, and even the queen mother of the two palaces gave him three points, how dare you provoke him? Ding Cong got straight to the point and scared Guo Ting.

"Ask the adults to show you the way!" Guo Ting hurriedly presented the gift list.

"Hey!" Ding Cong pretended to groan, pretending not to care and took the gift list, but his heart was pounding.

"Please help the last general through this difficult time! It's really not good, you can change the state and county for the last general! ”

"Want to escape? You think you'll be able to escape? Geng Fan has taken any evidence of your crimes, and he may put you to death at any time! Where can you escape? Ding Cong smiled.

"Ahh I, what proof can I have! Guo Ting hesitated and pretended to be calm.

"Huh! Everyone is smart, so don't talk nonsense! You should be in the upper valley for a month, just eat, drink and be merry? Let me ask you, there are 100 thieves in the Guo family in your military capital, don't you know? Ding Cong threatened.

Guo Ting shook his head, although he had heard of it, it had nothing to do with him.

"Huh! One hundred and ten people of your Guo family fell into the grass, but you have more than 30 military horses from the Western Governor's Mansion! Ding Cong said with a cold face.

"This, this, the last general really doesn't know ......" Guo Ting was startled, although he was shocked, he understood it when he thought about it, but he was still quibbling.

"You don't have to quibble with me, and I don't bother to care about your! Do you know where these rogues are now? ”

"Did you get caught?" Guo Ting guessed.

"Hehe, I was caught. They actually dared to block the road and rob Geng Taishou on the way to his post. It's a pity that a group of rabble was wiped out by one or twenty guards of Lord Taishou! However, at this moment, that group of people instead surrendered to Geng Taishou and became his guards! ”

"Ahh Guo Ting couldn't close his mouth.

"You said you didn't sell military horses, where did the thieves' military horses come from? Not only do you sell military horses, but you also sell them to thieves, you say, how many times do you deserve to die! Ding Cong looked at the gift list in his hand and said again contemptuously, "Just your little thing, is it enough to buy your little life?" ”

"What then?" Guo Ting can't stand on his feet at this time!

"Now that you two haven't torn your faces, you suddenly left, which made him suspicious. This matter can only be done in secret. In this way, go back first, forbear for the time being, deal with him first, and do not provoke him. ”

"And then?"

"Since you can afford to look down on this official, this official naturally can't sit idly by. These things, the official will take care of them for you and ask for a life talisman for you. ”

"Talisman?" Ding Cong was puzzled.

"This official strives to transfer Shi Gengzhen, the eastern governor, to you."

"Geng Zhen, could it be that he is ......" Guo Ting was very smart and guessed it at once.

"That Geng Zhen was originally a celebrity in Changxin Palace, if he didn't give up his parents, he would definitely follow him to Shanggu, I am afraid that he will be more proud than this official at this time!"

"What do you mean, let him come to me, as long as I have him, Geng Fan won't dare to touch me casually?" Guo Ting roughly understood.

"Although I haven't seen this person, he has served Changxin Palace for many years, and now he can gain a firm foothold in the army, which shows that he is not small. It's hard to say whether you can master him or not. However, people under your nose can always make you feel more at ease. Of course, this is not enough, you collect some treasures, and the official will help you to offer the Great Sima and the Empress Dowager Ding. Let them pass a word to Geng Fan, maybe they can keep you safe. Ding Cong was ready to blackmail Guo Ting again.

Guo Ting was speechless and silently in a daze.

Ding Cong saw that he was already scared stupid, but he felt pitiful for him.

This arrogant guy has long wanted to be too guarded. Seeing that the Ding family was gaining power, relying on the relationship with the Ding family, he strongly "forced" to take up the post of Taishou. I thought that I could take over naturally, but I didn't expect to be suddenly inserted by Geng Fan, and the good things I saw in my hands were completely overturned.

Therefore, this guy was born at the wrong time, which is really pitiful.

At this point, Guo Ting had no choice but to spend all his family wealth to "pay tribute" to Ding Cong again.

Ding Cong can be regarded as "righteous" enough, and he really said a lot of good things for him in front of Da Sima, and promoted him to the first level. By the way, there is also a "grace", Geng Zhen was promoted to the governor of the western part of the upper valley!

These two wills really made Geng Xiaofan realize that Guo Ting was not simple, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to pull out this "roadblock".

"It seems that Zhen'er is going to be tested!" Wang Jingyan also got these two news and rushed to comfort Geng Xiaofan.

"No one's life will be easy. I believe that Zhen'er is already capable of fighting the storm. Although Geng Xiaofan was worried about his son, he could only comfort himself like this.

"Well, I believe in Zhen'er too! Actually, it was also beneficial for him to go to the Western Governor's Mansion. After all, Guo Ting didn't dare not come to repair the canal anymore. Moreover, you can also keep track of his movements at any time, as long as he doesn't go too far, we will let him go, and it will not be too late to clean him up after the canal is repaired! ”

Wang Jingyan cheered Geng Xiaofan up, and brought him good news by the way. Prime Minister Kong Guang and Imperial Historian He Wu wrote to Liu Xin and issued the "Land Restriction Order" and the "Slave Restriction Order".

This made Geng Xiaofan even more surprised.

The so-called land restriction order, simply put, is that "no matter the princes, princes, ministers, officials, etc., the land occupied shall not exceed 30 hectares." "The so-called slave restriction decree stipulates that all slaves and maids from the prince to the officials shall not exceed the number.

Geng Xiaofan didn't know what Kong Guang and He Wu thought, because even he felt that these two restrictions were unreliable and impossible to implement.

Sure enough, after a gust of wind, the two restrictions existed in name only, but Geng Xiaofan still keenly seized this opportunity to redistribute the land in the county to the greatest extent possible, and also set aside a lot of "official land" for the county and the county.

The county magistrate has the "land" in his hands, and his waist poles have become tough, and they have begun to cooperate with Geng Xiaofan to implement his "reform"!

The construction of the canal has also slowly begun to progress. Wang Yu, or Wang Jingyan, vigorously promoted the benefits of canal repair. At the same time, a series of "preferential policies" have also been introduced, such as shortening the time of "river drains", such as increasing the price of "buying".

Rich businessmen and powerful people don't care about spending more money on "buying", and the poor people are more enthusiastic about repairing canals.

Wang Yu also personally went to the construction site to "supervise" the work, and took the initiative to take out some money and grain to add food to the river canal workers.

For a time, the north of Fuyang City became a "big construction site".

"Isn't it fulfilling?" Wang Jingyan accompanied Geng Xiaofan to stand by the "construction site" and watched the migrant workers in full swing.

"It's not easy to do something." Geng Xiaofan was very satisfied with the progress of the project, thinking about the hardships of the past few months, and sighed.

"You've got to think about how to thank me!" Wang Jingyan said with a smile.

"Say, what do you want?" Geng Xiaofan didn't care.

"Give me a piece of land, and we'll build a lab."

"What are you messing around!" Geng Xiaofan was taken aback.
