Chapter 69 Righteousness First

With the dream of marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law, Brother Erdan left Ningbo with thirty subordinates and went straight to Hangzhou. Bayi Chinese Network ? .? 8?1?z?The idea of topping the tank for Shen Chongming along the way is becoming clearer and clearer, once he really wants to take tough measures, he will take on this matter by himself, and he must not let Lord Shen be involved, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness. Every time he thought of the fact that he had been generous to Lord Shen for righteousness, Brother Erdan felt that his blood was boiling.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Shen Chongming, who stayed in Ningbo and waited for people from all walks of life to gather, didn't have too much to worry about this matter. Although this move seems to be a sword that goes off the rails and is very unfavorable to his own situation, as long as he defeats the Japanese in a battle, then all the guilt is not considered guilt. When the time comes, report the specific situation to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely understand, and maybe he will be angry with Xu Jie's fake public and private interests.

As Shen Chongming expected, Xu Jie expected that he would not act according to orders early in the morning, and when the official document was issued, a cronie who was on an errand in the cabinet also came to Hangzhou by boat. With official documents and Xu Jie's handwritten letter, although this cabinet official has no quality and no rank, his identity is not trivial, he is Xu Jie's plenipotentiary.

"Lord Guo, I think you know the meaning of the official document, the elder is very concerned about this matter, I hope you can complete the errand as soon as possible, and then the villain will return to Beijing to pay the errand." He called himself a villain, but the person who came was full of arrogance, and sat there with a big grin, without the intention of putting Guo Mingyi in his eyes at all.

Guo Mingyi was not angry, but slowly put away the official document, and said with a slight smile: "The official understands what Elder Xu Ge means. It's just that the matter is big, and the so-called whole body is affected, and this matter must be discussed with Lord Shen, who is in charge of the pacification, before a decision can be made, otherwise the official will drive the people from all over the county out of the county on his own, and I am afraid that it will ruin the plan of the pacification. ”

That little thing in the DPRK is not a secret at all for an official of Guo Mingyi's level, and if the official does this, who has nothing to do with Beijing City?

Guo Mingyi is not stupid, he also has a copy of the war reports in various places for such a period of time. Since all the residents of the coastal thirty miles gathered in the county seat, the raids of the Japanese were no longer as crazy as before, and the only major war was Magang Town, Changguo County, Ningbo Prefecture. Although the entire town was burned to the ground, the people did not suffer any casualties. And since that incident, I haven't seen any movement from the Japanese in the past few days.

With this little thing, although it is still not clear what Shen Chongming is going to do, but the effect of the strong wall and clearing the wilderness has been reflected, as a parent official in Zhejiang, it is a rare good thing to be able to see that the people under his rule are not killed or injured, how could Guo Mingyi easily listen to Xu Jie's words and destroy Shen Chongming's plan.

It's just that as a magistrate, he can't resist the cabinet's order at all, and now he can only take a procrastination trick to buy time for Shen Chongming. This Lord Shen is not simple, I believe that he will soon come up with a solution, and then he will be relaxed, he is afraid of Xu Jie, he is not afraid!

As soon as he heard that Guo Mingyi was going to discuss this matter with Shen Chongming, the messenger immediately became anxious, "Lord Guo, the matter is urgent, the elder of the pavilion strictly orders you to do this matter immediately, and there can be no delay for a moment, you must know that if you delay it for one more day, the imperial court will have to spend a lot of silver." And you don't have to worry about Lord Shen, the cabinet documents have been delivered, he will naturally obey orders, and you can complete your duties with peace of mind. "The messenger doesn't need to think about the specific situation to know, even if a hundred official documents from the cabinet are placed in front of Shen Chongming, he will try his best to delay with all kinds of excuses, waiting for him to obey his orders, just afraid that the daylilies will be cold. But looking at Guo Mingyi's appearance now, if he didn't block all his excuses, this guy wouldn't have done his errands according to the old man's wishes.

Guo Mingyi smiled slightly, he couldn't hear this 100% lie. didn't expose it, and directly diverted the topic with a smile on his face: "The journey is tiring, and I must be tired from the errand, so the official will order someone to arrange food and accommodation." ”

This is clearly a procrastination strategy, this kind of thing has seen a lot of messengers from the capital, how can it not be clear? However, looking at Guo Mingyi's appearance, it is clear that Wang Ba is hard-hearted, and he will not be easy to give in if he doesn't come to be a little powerful. Fortunately, before leaving, the old cabinet expected that this might happen to him, and gave himself a secret letter, presumably under the temptation, Guo Mingyi would be obedient.

Thinking about it, the person who came got up and arched his hand and said, "Then I'm bothering Lord Guo, the villain has a letter here, which was handed over by the elder of the pavilion." As he spoke, he took out the letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to Guo Mingyi.

Guo Mingyi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he could guess what was written in the letter without looking at it, and promised to lure him with benefits, but these bigwigs in the DPRK and China used to use it. I didn't open it when I reached out and took it, but I just put it in my sleeve and reached out and made a gesture of please.

Seeing him like this, the messenger sneered in his heart. Pretending to be a serious and selfless duke, when he leaves, he must be impatient to open it and check it, and tomorrow, he will definitely come to his door to see him for instructions. These magistrates, play with some leftovers from our capital. didn't say much, got up and said with a smile: "Master Guo stays, and the little one will leave first." ”

After sending off the messenger, Guo Mingyi returned to the house and opened the envelope. After a hasty look at it, instead of the ecstatic that the messenger had expected, a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, the official is still in the book, what a lot of authority." As he spoke, he lit a candle and placed the letter in his hand directly. Guo Mingyi knew in his heart that if he listened to Xu Jie's words, then even if he lived in vain in this life, even if he died, he would not have the face to see his ancestors in the sky!

As soon as he threw the ashes on the ground, he saw a handyman hurriedly walk in, "My lord, Lord Jinyi Weima outside the yamen asks to see you." ”

"Oh." Guo Mingyi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. This Shen Chongming is really powerful, he guessed so quickly that Xu Ge Lao would start from himself, just with this thought, he can indeed have a few tricks with Xu Ge Lao, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is really not certain who wins and who loses. "Let them in."

After a while, Brother Erdan walked in murderously, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand and his left hand. The subordinates behind him are not bad, all of them are imposing, and they have made up their minds to suppress Guo Mingyi in momentum, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to clean up this old boy!

Looking at this situation, Guo Mingyi, who was sitting there, smiled dumbly, but guessed the intention of Brother Erdan. It seems that Shen Chongming not only expected that Xu Jie would start from him, but also thought of a way to deal with it. "Hehe, it's really rude for Lord Ma to come from afar and this official has lost his welcome." Guo Mingyi stood up with a smile.

"Hehe, Lord Guo is polite, my Ma Erdan is a small deputy Qianhu, but I can't afford to be treated like you like this." Brother Erdan smiled, and his two eyes had already begun to look around. Jinyiwei is well-informed, and the news that people from the capital came to see Guo Mingyi was known by Brother Erdan not long after entering the city, but now there is only Guo Mingyi in this house, where is the killing material?

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Guo Mingyi didn't blame him, whoever got on fire in this matter, it must be Shen Chongming who was going to come hard, otherwise he wouldn't have sent so many people. If Master Ma knew the residence of the messenger in the capital, I am afraid that this guy would not get any benefit.

When I got to my seat, I saw Guo Mingyi patting his forehead as if he had just remembered, and said, "Oh, it's really unfortunate, just now the letter that came to the capital to deliver the official document was sent out of the yamen." Originally, he said that there was an official document from the cabinet about this peace and security that he wanted the official to deal with, but the official had some things at hand that was delayed, so he asked him to go back and rest first. I knew that Master Ma was coming, so I asked him to wait any longer, and if there was anything, I would inform Lord Shen in time. Guo Mingyi was full of lies, and the serious expression on his face really didn't match, if Brother Erdan knew the real situation, he would definitely admire him and study with him for a few days.

As soon as he heard this, Brother Erdan suddenly felt that there was a light in front of him. As long as the messenger from the capital is taken, won't this official document be delivered to Guo Mingyi? He didn't know the content of the official document, so how could he go on an errand, wouldn't it affect his own adult's plan?

There is no need to carry out such a plan from the family to control Guo Mingyi, and of course he will not take a risk because of it. As for just a messenger, even if he is arrested, it is not a big deal, after all, for this kind of petty official, Jinyi Weida can be arrested and locked up for a while on a few charges.

With a plan in his heart, Brother Erdan's expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile on his face: "That's really unfortunate." Master Guo, otherwise, the lower officials will go to find him, don't miss the errand. ”

"Well, then the official will find someone to show you the way." Brother Erdan's careful thinking about where he could escape Guo Mingyi's eyes, saw Guo Mingyi immediately nodded and smiled and agreed. In fact, just now he was still worried about how to deal with this cabinet messenger tomorrow, this is good, this kind of trouble is only suitable for Jinyiwei to deal with.

"Don't bother, we'll just go by ourselves." Brother Erdan hurriedly waved his hand and rejected Guo Mingyi's 'kindness', this arrest can't let Guo Mingyi know, otherwise it will be a troublesome matter. If you go by yourself, you will disappear after you catch someone, so that Guo Mingyi can't find it even if he wants to.

Guo Mingyi said that when he saw that Brother Erdan's words were in line with his heart, he immediately stopped talking about it, but got up to send him off, and the hated Brother Erdan flew over directly to solve the big trouble.

After sending away Brother Erdan, Guo Mingyi, who returned to the house, looked a little lonely. This incident is the first time he has been an official for so many years to play a trick on the affairs of the court, although he has an account in his heart to know whether what he is doing is right or wrong, but he can leave such a 'stain' on his resume, where can he not feel awkward in his heart.

"Alas, righteousness comes first." Guo Mingyi sighed and said to himself, praying in his heart that Shen Chongming would decide the outcome of the battle, and in that case, it would prove that everything he did today was correct.
