Chapter 198: The Plan of Differentiation (I)
Yang Zhen and his entourage followed Shi Tao all the way to the inside of the Zhenfu Division, but they saw many people looking them up and down carefully with playful eyes, and they couldn't feel comfortable. www.biquge.infoFortunately, after passing through a not too long corridor, Shi Tao stopped in front of an extraordinary lobby: "Tang Qianhu, please wait a while, and wait for me to report to the governor." ”
Tang Feng lowered his head and waited quietly in front of the hall with several brothers. At this time, Yang Zhen suddenly felt that there were several strange gazes sweeping over him and the others not far away, this gaze was a little different from the feeling of those who were looking at him just now, as if they were being stared at by poisonous snakes and beasts. This made him feel an alarm in his heart, and he turned his head to look to the side, and saw two men in red and white clothes standing there.
The man in red was a middle-aged man in his forties, even if he was wearing a spacious official uniform, he still looked like a muscled person, and he knew that he was a practitioner at first glance. And his big eyes, although they only swept towards Yang Zhen and them, still carried a bit of domineering. But what really made Yang Zhen feel uneasy was the white-clothed man beside him. I saw that he had a feminine face, looking at a man in his thirties, but without a beard. He looked at the thin body, forming a sharp contrast with the companions beside him, and there didn't seem to be much threat, but somehow, as soon as he met his gaze, Yang Zhen had the illusion of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
"What are the identities of the two over there?" Yang Zhen lowered his head and whispered to Qian Sizhong beside him.
Qian Sizhong looked at his meaning, his face stiffened slightly, and then he also lowered his head, and said in a lower voice: "That man is Hong Kuixing, who is in charge of Jinyi Wei's punishment of thousands of households, he is not only extremely good at practicing foreign kung fu, but also fierce, almost everyone in the entire Zhenfu Division is afraid of him; The other person, but he is from Dongchang, has always had some dealings with the Zhenfu Division, it seems to be called Song Xueqiao. ”
"Oh? Is it from the East Factory? Only then did Yang Zhen understand why this person looked at himself and the others like this, obviously they still remembered the account of the pit murder case that day.
At this time, Shi Tao had already walked out again, nodded at Tang Feng and said, "You all come in with me." ”
"Yes." Tang Feng seemed to be very well-behaved and obedient at this time, even Yang Zhen and the others did not mix with each other, and when they heard that Liu Shou was calling, they did not stop for a while, and walked into the lobby with Shi Tao.
Yang Zhen and the others naturally didn't dare to delay, and they also followed up. As soon as he entered this lobby, Yang Zhen only felt that his body was cool for a while, obviously there should be a lot of ice cubes for cooling off.
After turning a screen in front of the hall, they saw Liu Shouyou sitting behind the long case. Even in such a hot weather, he was neatly dressed, not only covered with a red official uniform, but also wearing an official hat on his head, giving people a kind of imposing pressure. Obviously, all the ice cubes to be placed in this hall to cool off are for the sake of his dress.
Yang Zhen, who saw through this, felt a little funny in his heart, this Liu Shouyou really has a set, and he knew that he had to take out his prestige when he met for the first time, so he played such a play.
Just when he was analyzing Liu Shouyou's thoughts, Tang Feng had already landed on one knee and bowed: "Tang Feng, a lowly brocade guard, and a thousand households, see the governor!" ”
Several other people were also stunned, and then made the same move, and also reported their identities and names. Among them, Yang Zhen and Wei Changdong are 100 households, Deng Ting and Ma Feng are just the general banner, but Qian Sizhong is now the 100 households here in the capital.
"Well...... Liu Shouyou was quite satisfied with their attitude, nodded slightly, and then said: "You don't have to be polite, let's get up and talk back." ”
When everyone stood up, he showed a smile and said to Tang Feng: "Tang Qianhu, this official has really admired you for a long time, to put it mildly, over the years, whether you are in Zhejiang or Huguang, you have done a lot of great things, which is really the envy of our colleagues who have achieved nothing!" ”
Seeing that he brought the topic to this as soon as they met, Tang Feng's heart tightened. But at this time, he would not ask for guilt no matter what, after all, judging from the reply given by the government, what they did was the right thing, but it only harmed the interests of some people in power. So he humbly hugged his fists and said: "Du Du praised, all this is what the lower officials and others should do." I have the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, and as long as I find someone doing illegal things, I should sue and deal with it. Whether they are magistrates or out of the palace, they should be treated equally. And in the end, the court's reward was enough to make the lower officials convinced that they had done a good job, and the lower officials did not dare to say that they had any credit, but could only say that they were worthy of the trust that the court had always trusted. ”
These words are obviously expressing a statement, and they are also reminding Liu Shouyou that the court has expressed its stance on the previous events, and you can't use these things to embarrass me.
Liu Shouyou naturally heard the meaning of his words, and his face sank slightly. But soon, he laughed again: "You are right, as a Jinyi guard, you should have this awareness." It is because the Governor appreciates you that he will think of transferring you to the capital. After all, if the responsibility is heavier, it is none other than the people in the capital, and talents like you are too condescending to stay in the place. ”
Even though Tang Feng and the others knew that what he said was not credible, they still had to bow and thank each other again, thanking Liu Dudu for his attention and promotion. At least on the bright side, transferring from the local government to the capital is a promotion.
After that, the two sides said a few words on the scene a little painlessly, for example, Liu Shouyou asked Tang Feng if they had come to the capital all the way, and if there was anything they needed to organize care after coming here. After Tang Feng thanked the organization for his concern, he also expressed his loyalty. At least on the bright side, for the time being, the meeting between the two sides looks quite harmonious.
But this unnutritious and harmonious scene was quickly shattered. Deng Ting, who has always been straightforward, opened his mouth and asked: "Please forgive me for my sins, I just want to dare to ask, I don't know how you are going to arrange Tang Qianhu and our brothers?" ”
"Hehe, it seems that Deng Zongqi is still very anxious, so anxious to know what he should do." Liu Shouyou raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Deng Ting with a smile: "Okay, then the governor won't sell the guanzi." You are all capable and have made meritorious contributions, and this governor will not treat you badly. Tang Qianhu, you have the greatest merit and the strongest ability, and there is a shortage of available people around Bendu, so I want to transfer you to our Zhenfu Division as a person in charge of Qianhu, I don't know if you can still accept it? ”
"Punish a thousand households?" As soon as Tang Feng heard the other party's arrangement, his heart sank, and he finally knew how Liu Shouyou was going to deal with himself, that is, he was completely hidden.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty has inherited too many brocade guards to this day. In addition to the previously mentioned Han generals and Tiqi spies scattered everywhere, there are still many hundreds of households and thousands of households who have been awarded the title because of the grace of their ancestors. While this is also a good thing for many people, for some aspirants, it is unacceptable to be unemployed.
And in addition to these people who do have power and those who do not have power, there are also Jinyi guards who are uncertain all the way, including thousands or hundreds of households.
It is also a thousand households, and the thousands of households in all provinces of the country are naturally very powerful, as long as you have the courage, you can compete with local officials from all walks of life, and it is not impossible to wipe out many local officials like Tang Feng and them did in Huguang before.
But the situation of the thousands of households in the capital is a little delicate. It stands to reason that these thousand households also have responsibilities, whether it is to arrest some officials in Beijing who are found to be problematic, or to torture some people, they will come forward, which is also the origin of the official name of the thousand households.
But at the same time, as the governor of Jinyi Wei, Liu Shouyou can also be called to punish thousands of households without doing anything, and become a completely idle existence. After all, their tasks were all delegated by Liu Shouyou, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to tell people, it was just a matter of one sentence.
Tang Feng only said before that Liu Shouyou would make it difficult for him to transfer himself to the capital, or send him some extremely difficult tasks, but in the end, it was such an ending, which made him feel panicked in his heart, but he couldn't object.
After all, it was the official who crushed people to death, not to mention that Liu Shouyou was the highest status in the entire Jinyi Guard, and if he wanted to do this, the people under him naturally did not dare to have any objections.
Seeing that Tang Feng was said by himself with a bitter face, Liu Shouyou felt a burst of joy in his heart. Then he looked at the others: "As for you...... The position of the head of the 100 households in the Suppression Division is full, and it is not good for the governor to let the other brothers lose their jobs in order to promote you. In this way, there are a few streets in the capital that have never been so peaceful, so you can take care of them. ”
"Ah......" As soon as Deng Ting and the others heard this arrangement, their faces suddenly became gloomy.
Liu Shouyou was clearly deliberately humiliating them by doing this. He obviously knew about the disagreements they had with An Li and Shen Zhuo before, and knew that they were unwilling to do this in Hangzhou, so he deliberately asked them to manage some street security in the capital.
But Yang Zhen has another point of view, Liu Shouyou arranged it this way, and in order to disassemble himself and others. Because once the matter is completed, Tang Feng will be left in the Zhenfu Division to empty everything, and a few of himself will belong to each street, maybe those streets are still quite far away, then it will be difficult for himself and others to unite again.
But even if he saw the problem, what could he do? The other party is obviously not afraid of their opposition, and this kind of calculation of overwhelming people is the most unbearable to deal with.
Liu Shouyou saw that everyone was showing a bitter look, and he was even more proud in his heart, so he could be regarded as taking the interest on some old accounts before. I saw him squint his eyes slightly, looked at Tang Feng and said, "What, are you dissatisfied with this governor's arrangement?" ”
