Chapter 251: Appointment
Because he has always been worried about the family property of those traitors, Ye Xun's monitoring of these families has never stopped.
The Fan family sent people to various parts of Liaodong to carry out rebellions, and some people who were dissatisfied with Ye Xun and hated Ye Xun naturally became their first targets.
On the other hand, in order not to attract the attention of the White Lotus Sect, Sun Dong has never been out of Liaodong, and because of his outstanding performance in Hetuala, he is now in charge of the entire Liaodong intelligence.
The big fish of the Fan family has long been the target of Sun Dong's attention, and not only the Fan family, but even all the Liaodong civil and military officials who colluded with his family have long been on Sun Dong's blacklist.
So how could a big fish like Chai Guozhu escape Sun Dong's eyes?
After Chai Guozhu was caught, he was tortured, and even the matter of him peeking at Widow Zhao next door taking a bath was revealed.
Because it involved the people in the palace, Sun Dong didn't dare to make decisions without permission, and sent Chai Guozhu's confession directly to Ye Xun.
And at this moment, Ye Xun and his entourage have also arrived outside Liaoyang City.
In fact, Ye Xun is also very difficult in how to get along with Yuan Yingtai, because Yuan Yingtai is a good official and very capable in government affairs, which can be said to make up for Ye Xun's shortcomings.
It's just that this person is a bit stupid and loyal, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, which is a bit difficult to do, because Liaodong in the future is bound to become a place of secession, not that Ye Xun wants to do this, but Zhu Youxiao's court forced Ye Xun to secede.
It is conceivable that since Ye Xun re-set foot on the land of Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao will inevitably cut off all supplies to Liaodong, and at the same time, he will also cut off the trade route to Liaodong.
Liaodong has more than 100,000 troops to support, and there are hundreds of officials at all levels, not to mention the common people, and at the same time, weapons must be constantly updated.
In this way, the amount of silver needed every year is an astronomical amount, and if Yuan Yingtai drags Ye Xun's retreat at this time, it will be a very headache.
Before Ye Xun and his entourage entered the city, both sides of the road were already crowded with people who greeted them, and the cheers came and went, and the sound was almost overwhelming.
Feeling the sincerity of the people, Ye Xun kept thanking the people on both sides on horseback.
His eyes swept over the people, Ye Xun suddenly found a familiar face, and looked at it fixedly, but who else was it Cheng Yu?
Before, Ye Xun sent someone to find Cheng Yu because he wanted to meddle in the shipping matter, but he heard the report from the person who came back that Cheng Yu didn't go home at all and didn't know what to do.
Seeing Cheng Yu here now, Ye Xun immediately understood that this kid was afraid that he hadn't left Liaodong at all.
Overjoyed, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, strode in front of Cheng Yu, and said with a smile: "You guy, if I don't look for you, you really won't come to me!" This time, I can't say anything that will let you run away again."
Cheng Yu smiled very happily, bowed down and saluted: "My subordinates know that my father-in-law will definitely come back, in this case, why should I go to the capital to find my father-in-law?" ”
Ye Xun affectionately punched Cheng Yu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, follow me to find Old Yuan to drink."
"Yu, dare to disobey!"
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Ye Xun, and then followed Ye Xun towards the city.
Ye Xun didn't get on the horse again, and walked forward with Cheng Yu, saying with a smile as he walked: "As soon as I set foot on the land of Liaodong, I feel like I am going home, and I am afraid that this time I am really inseparable."
"Father-in-law, people's hearts are available! But the court side..."
When Cheng Yu said this, he didn't say any more, but kept shaking his head.
Ye Xun knew what Cheng Yu wanted to say, smiled, and suddenly said, "Brother Cheng, what do you say if we come to Liaodong to try?" ”
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, patted his head, and said with a smile: "It's still a good idea for my father-in-law to react quickly, so that we won't be subject to the imperial court."
Ye Xun smiled slightly, but did not continue, this is not the place to speak, besides, he has a more mature idea, and after discussing it with Cheng Yu alone, he will start to implement it.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw a big meat ball standing in the crowd on the side of the road.
People who have not understood Sun Dong's methods will feel that Sun Dong is very happy, until it falls into his hands, they will know how terrible this seemingly harmless fat man is.
"See father-in-law"
Sun Dong walked quickly to Ye Xun, bowed and saluted, and then whispered about Chai Guozhu as quickly as possible.
Ye Xun nodded, this time back to Liaodong, it is imperative to completely purge the officialdom of Liaodong, it can be said that Chai Guozhu jumped out at the right time, otherwise I don't know what excuse to do it.
"Go back and prepare a gift for Wei Zhongxian, tell him to play any tricks again, don't blame me for being unkind"
Sun Dong nodded in agreement, then turned around and squeezed into the crowd, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
The gift Ye Xun said was naturally Chai Guozhu's head, and he would not touch Wei Zhongxian until Wei Zhongxian completed the purge of the Ming officialdom, but he could not be too presumptuous, and there should still be necessary warnings.
In a place where there were few people, Ye Xun and Cheng Yu re-mounted, Yuan Yingtai didn't know about Chai Guozhu's arrest, and had already sent someone to inform Ye Xun to go to Chai Mansion for a banquet.
Chai Guozhu had already confessed the location where the explosives were planted, how could Ye Xun put himself in a dangerous place, so he simply sent someone to inform Yuan Yingtai, saying that he had something urgent to talk to him about, and asked him to return to his house immediately.
So Ye Xun and his entourage are now going to Yuan Yingtai's mansion in Liaoyang.
A lot of times, the more you worry about something, the more something will happen.
Just when Ye Xun was about to talk to Yuan Yingtai in his heart, almost all the civil and military officials in the cities of Liaodong received orders from the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War.
In the past, when the Jurchens were raging, they wanted to be transferred from Liaodong, which was similar to the Arabian Nights, and many officials who were appointed to Liaodong also found various reasons not to come.
Now it's good that the imperial court not only transferred the officials from Liaodong, but also went to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River.
You must know that these places used to be places where you had to spend a lot of money and could not necessarily go there, and now the imperial court doesn't know what crazy it is, and directly gives these places to the officials of Liaodong.
In this way, who wants to stay in the bitter cold land of Liaodong?
For a while, almost all parts of Liaodong, except for Ye Xun's descendants, began to pack their bags, and then rushed to Jiangnan as quickly as possible, for fear that the position would be snatched away by others if they were late.
Not only that, Liu Qu, the general soldier of Yongping, was ordered to lead 10,000 horses into Shanhaiguan, completely sealing this important passage in and out of Liaodong.
Yuan Yingtai received this news when he was returning from Chai Guozhu's mansion and was stopped by his subordinates.
Yuan Yingtai's new official position was the secretary of the military department, replacing Tian Ji, who succeeded Zhang Heming as the secretary of the military department.
From a local official, he was directly promoted to the secretary of the military department, and there seems to be little change in rank, but the power is different, the military department is in charge of the national army, and from this point alone, it can also be seen that the court's good intentions are good.
Yuan Yingtai ordered someone to stop the sedan chair on the side of the road, and then took the paper order, and fell into deep contemplation again...
