More than ten days later, Cui Hongdu, the governor of Jiangling, personally rushed to Guangling and reported to Yang Guangyu about the investigation of the 100,000 ransom and Xiao Rushui.

"Lord Wang, this is also strange, Xia Guan personally led people to almost plow and comb the villages, towns and countryside in the Jiangling area like ploughing twice, and failed to find the 100,000 'Kaihuang Five Plants' that were robbed. It's not a gossip after the fact, if the prince ordered his subordinates to quietly make some marks on the 100,000 'Five Plants of the Emperor', maybe they could still find it. "Cui Hongdu was born in the world's highest gate Boling Cui, and he is the brother-in-law of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and it seems a little rude to speak in front of Yang Guang.

"Mr. Cui is very reasonable, and in this matter, it is indeed the king's negligence." Yang Guang didn't care about Cui Hongdu's rudeness, and asked him with a smile, "But I don't know if the main envoy who set up a bureau to rob the ransom has ever had a result?" ”

"It was precisely because of the results that the lower officials came thousands of miles away to report the news to the prince in person." Cui Hongdu replied grinningly, "According to the confession of an insider who was caught, the person who commanded the robbers to rob the ransom of 100,000 yuan from under the noses of the officials and soldiers was a person called 'Bodhisattva'. Don't hide it from the prince, Xia Guan once personally interrogated the insider, and wanted to ask him whether this Bodhisattva was Guanyin Bodhisattva or Manjushri Bodhisattva, but he couldn't answer. According to the opinion of the lower officials, most of this bandit leader is a believer in Buddhism, otherwise, how could he be called a bodhisattva? ”

"That's what the insider you caught said?" Yang Guang smiled and asked Cui Hongdu.

"Is that still fake? After investigation, it was found that the fast boat that the robbers were on that day was temporarily rented from this person, and he overheard the robbers talking about the person "Bodhisattva" when the robbers rented a boat from him. Cui Hongdu hurriedly explained to Yang Guang.

"If what this person said is true, it can basically be concluded that this 'Bodhisattva' is the 'Goose's Nest' Great Protector Xiao Rushui. Manager Cui, you didn't run in vain this trip, and when Xiao Rushui is arrested and brought to justice in the future, this king will definitely be in the court and ask for credit for you. Yang Guang said firmly.

"The Jiangling guarded by the lower officials is also under the control of the prince, and it is within the duty to do these things, so please be exempted. It's just that the lower officials are here, and there is still one thing that wants to be fulfilled by the prince. Cui Hongdu did not explain his true intention until this time.

"Oh? Mr. Cui, please speak. Yang Guang flashed a glance at Pei Yun, who was sitting next to him, and asked Cui Hongdu.

"Hehe, can you ask the prince to go to the court and transfer the lower officials to the Guannai?" Cui Hongdu said with a smile.

"I heard that Chief Cui has been in Jiangling for a long time, and the people in the Jiangling area enjoy a high prestige, this Jiangling General Manager is doing a good job, why should he apply to be transferred to Guannai?" Yang Guang asked casually while inviting Cui Hongdu to tea.

"The prince laughed, how dare Xia Guan call it prestige, and now the people in the Jiangling area are rumoring that 'I would rather drink a liter of vinegar than meet Cui Hongdu'. Don't hide it from the prince, I have been guarding Jiangling all these years, and I am familiar with the world and folk customs there, if it weren't for my sister, I would really be a little reluctant to leave Jiangling and transfer to other places. Cui Hongdu talked about the not very glorious title given to him by the people of Jiangling in front of Yang Guang's boss, and there was no shame on his face, as if he was not talking about him, but someone else.

Yang Guang heard this, laughed and said: "In the early years, when I was on duty in Bingzhou Town, I had seen the locals drink vinegar as water, so wouldn't it be more suitable for Mr. Cui to be the chief manager in Hebei?" Has there been anything that Princess Qin has done recently that Mr. Cui can't reassure? ”

"Hehe, it's about other people's family affairs, please forgive the officials for inconvenience to tell the prince in detail." Cui Hongdu replied with a flicker.

"Yesterday, this king only got a report, saying that someone in the Jiangling area took the lead in making trouble for the imperial court's plan to implement the Juntian system, and almost smashed the governor's office. Yang Guang looked at Cui Hongdu with a smile and asked coldly.

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the prince. Ten days ago, as soon as the imperial court's edict on the first implementation of the Juntian system in Jiangnan was officially issued, the landlords and families in the Jiangling area did not agree, and surrounded my governor's office for three days in a row, forcing me, the governor, to submit a chapter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to demarcate Jiangling and the prefectures and counties under the original jurisdiction of the Later Liang Dynasty from Jiangnan and delay the implementation of the uniform field system. The lower officials were also forced to be helpless, so they came to ask the prince to play the Ming court and transfer me out of Jiangling as soon as possible, I really can't afford to provoke this group of people. Cui Hongdu said to Yang Guang with a bitter face.

Although Cui Hongdu said pitifully, he seemed to be cornered by the local landlords in Jiangling, so he came to Yang Guang for help and wanted to transfer out of Jiangling, but after Yang Guang heard his complaints, he didn't have any sympathy for him in his heart, but felt a little disgusted with the royal relatives who were born in the world's highest family in front of him.

There is no need to send someone to Jiangling to investigate, Yang Guang only relied on Cui Hongdu to town Jiangling for a long time, but he got the nickname "I'd rather drink a liter of vinegar than meet Cui Hongdu", and he can deduce what kind of cool official Cui Hongdu is.

Since the people of Jiangling are so afraid of Cui Hongdu, and Cui Hongdu himself claims to be forced by the troublesome landlords, he pitifully rushed to Guangling thousands of miles away to ask for a transfer from Jiangling, then as long as the discerning person can see the strangeness: in the years of guarding Jiangling, Cui Hongdu must have received a lot of benefits from these big landowners and big families, as the so-called "eating people are short, taking people short", when the local landowners and big families in Jiangling got the news that the imperial court planned to implement the uniform field system in Jiangnan, Fearing that the land that belonged to them would be taken back by the imperial court and redistributed equally to the local people, they came to Cui Hongdu, who had been fed for a long time, to try to recover the benefits they were about to lose, and Cui Hongdu did not dare, or did not want to take the risk of offending the imperial court for the sake of these landlords, so he came up with this idea of smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and was ready to leave and hand over the mess of Jiangling to others.

Seeing through Cui Hongdu's careful thoughts, Yang Guang also had an idea to deal with him, and said slightly apologetically: "There is a way that far water can't quench the thirst of the near." Chief Cui, even if this king drafts a concert today, asking the imperial court to transfer you to Guannai, until the transfer edict is issued, it will be at least a month later. During this month, you will remain the governor of Gangneung, and you will have to act in accordance with the imperial court's edict to implement the Juntian system in all parts of Jiangnan. This king knows that if you have been in Jiangling for a long time, you must have some hardships that are not enough for outsiders to explain, and I don't want to make you too difficult. It's better to be like this, this king ordered the king of Jin Hussar Battalion to lead Pei Qiantong to lead a battalion of hussar battalion sergeants to return to Jiangling with you, and then there are rioters who dare to go to the governor's office to make trouble, all of them will be arrested by the hussar camp and returned to Guangling, and handed over to this king for personal interrogation, and sent down, what do you think? ”
