Although he was puzzled, Liu Shouyou didn't plan to go to Yang Zhen to ask for clarification - anyway, if he asked, Yang Zhen might not tell the truth - he could only believe Yuan Taidong's statement for the time being, and reported the matter to Feng Bao that night.

Since Yang Zhen used means to be the commander of this Jinyi Guard, Feng Bao paid special attention to it, and asked Liu Shouyou to report his actions in Jinyi Wei to himself in time. It was obvious that he had sensed a great threat from the emperor's attitude towards Yang Zhen, and only knowing himself and his opponent could make him feel a little at ease.

After listening to Liu Shouyou's report, Feng Bao also frowned: "Is it such a simple conversation?" Do you think Yuan Taidong is lying or perfunctory to you? ”

"It shouldn't be. He has always been very obedient, and I haven't heard of any friendship between him and Yang Zhen before, so it's impossible to help him hide it from me. Liu Shouyou replied with certainty.

"Well, maybe he's just trying to be a bluff or a bluff, just keep an eye on him. Anyway, he has just become a calmer, he has no power in his hands, and there are few people under him who can be reused, and we still have a way to control him. Feng Bao felt a little relieved.

"But Shuanglin Gong ...... I'm afraid that the means proposed by Xia Guan before will not be able to be used on Yang Zhen's body. After all, he has now become a calmer, and he is no longer one of those thousand households that can be dealt with at will. Liu Shouyou said cautiously.

Feng Bao glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "I know, let's put that matter aside for the time being." But you must not mess up what I have told you today, and if something happens to him and we are not prepared, be careful of your clothes! ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands that Xia Guan must do his best to keep an eye on Yang Zhen." Liu Shouyou hurriedly nodded in agreement, but at the same time felt heavy in his heart, somehow, although Yang Zhen didn't make any big moves this time, it always made him feel very uneasy.

However, the next period of time was quite peaceful, the newly appointed Yang Zhen did not really burn a fire to prove his strength and existence, in addition to transferring a few of the original capable subordinates to his subordinates, more just took the various rosters and account books in the Zhenfu Division to his own public hall to look through, it seemed that he just wanted to be a good errand for this Zhenfu.

Just when everyone in the Zhenfu Division had gradually become accustomed to the existence of this new Zhenfu, and felt that he was no different from the previous Shi Tao, this Yang Zhen, who had been silent for many days, finally made his first decision after becoming the Zhenfu.

Early this morning, when Liu Shouyou came to the Zhenfu Division according to his previous habits, he saw several of his subordinates whispering there with strange expressions, and he didn't even notice that he was coming. So he coughed a little unhappily.

His cough immediately alarmed those subordinates, and when they saw that it was him, the expressions on their faces became even more weird, and they hurried up: "Dudu, something happened." ”

"Huh? What's all the fuss about? While speaking, Liu Shouyou walked to his public house.

"Just now, a few thousand households who were watching the street outside rushed to see Yang Zhenfu, and somehow they had a conflict with him, and now they are being detained there to be punished." A subordinate followed, whispering.

"What? How could these guys go to find trouble with that Yang Zhen? As soon as Liu Shou heard this, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his face, which was still quite relaxed, suddenly became stiff: "Go, take me over to have a look!" Saying that, he didn't go to his public house anymore, and surrounded by several people, he turned around and rushed towards the courtyard of Yang Zhen's office on the other side.

Before coming to Yang Zhen's public hall, Liu Shouyou saw a scene that shocked him slightly-five Jinyi guards were pushed to the ground in a row, and behind them stood two Jinyi guard captains with big shoulders and round waists, who were beating their buttocks with the thick arm of their hands.

These hands-on people were really ruthless, and each stick rounded their arms, and the five people on the ground kept twitching. It's just because they still have something in their mouths that they don't scream anymore, only whining in pain, which is even more chilling to watch.

Liu Shouyou knew why he didn't hear the commotion here, but he was even more unhappy in his heart, so after a cold snort, he paced over: "What's going on?" You are so bold that you dare to be so rude to these thousands of households? ”

As soon as the men who were being tortured saw that they had arrived, the movements of their hands were stunned, and they looked at Liu Shouyou with some apprehension. And the five people who were tortured on the ground saw that it was him, and their faces suddenly showed a look of grievance, and they couldn't stop screaming, but unfortunately they couldn't really call out the wrong.

"What's going on? Is it enough? With the pause of the cane's voice, a slightly dissatisfied voice also came out of the public hall, and then, Yang Zhen also walked out with a displeased face: "Didn't the official tell you, don't stop until you get fifty canes...... Hey, it turned out that Governor Liu had arrived, and the lower officials had seen the governor! After seeing Liu Shouyou, whose face was a little gloomy, Yang Zhen hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted.

"Yang Zhenfu, you are really such a big official, you dare to beat these thousands of households in public, this governor wants to ask you, what mistakes did they make, and you want to blame them so much?" Liu Shouyou looked at Yang Zhen with some annoyance, and asked in a cold voice.

"If you go back to the governor, the lower officials also made this decision out of helplessness. It was really these thousands of households who made too much trouble, and refused to obey orders, so I ordered someone to take them down and reprimand. Yang Zhen explained with an aggrieved face: "Otherwise, where is the prestige of our Zhenfu Division, and what will outsiders and those brothers under him think of our Zhenfu Division?" ”

"What the hell is going on, and what orders did you give them to make such a fuss?" Liu Shouyou didn't want to listen to Yang Zhen's explanations, but asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't this governor know that there is such a thing?" ”

"Oh...... Looking at the official's memory, he actually forgot to explain the matter to the adults. Yang Zhen smiled apologetically, and then said with a straight face: "My lord, the day before yesterday, the lower official issued an order to gather all the Jinyi guards scattered in the capital back to the Zhenfu Division, select the elites among them to practice, and then reclassify them into the cavalry and secret agents. These thousands of households made trouble here early this morning because of this matter, and they had to take back their orders, and they also insulted me with insulting words, and the lower officials were angry for a while, and considering the prestige of my Jinyiwei, they ordered heavy responsibility. ”

"What? Do you want to call back all those brocade guards scattered in the capital? Liu Shouyou's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, and at the same time, his heart was even tighter, did this kid finally start to move?

"Yes, the lower officials have asked those thousands of households before, listen to their meaning, if they only manage those streets, those people under their hands will have a surplus. On the other hand, the cavalry and the spies have not done anything for a long time because of the lack of manpower. As a calmer, Xia Guan naturally has the responsibility to help them do their errands well, so he gave such an order. ”

"You...... Why don't you ask the official for such a big thing and then give an order, and you actually make your own decisions and exceed your authority, you are really bold! Liu Shouyou finally couldn't help it, his face sank, and he scolded sharply.

I don't want Yang Zhen not to have the slightest fear or self-blame, but he said a little strangely: "My lord's words make the lower officials a little confused." When the lower officials took office, they asked the lord what their duties were as a suppressor, and the lord also made it very clear in public, whether it was a cavalry or a secret agent, and these thousands of households were under the jurisdiction of the lower officials. Xia Guan just wants to make a slight internal adjustment today, how can it be regarded as making an assertion and exceeding his authority? ”

This question really stopped Liu Shouyou and made him a little unsure of how to answer. Indeed, Yang Zhen had the power to make such an arrangement as a pacifier, but it was only because Shi Tao had never done so in the past that Liu Shouyou forgot that he still had so much power to pacify. But of course he wouldn't be so willing to be robbed by Yang Zhen, so he snorted after a pause: "Even if you have this authority, as a subordinate, should you also issue an order after consulting with me, the governor?" ”

"This ...... Didn't Xia Guan already ask Yuan Taidong and Yuan Qianhu to explain this matter to your lordship? A few days ago, I saw that the adults didn't react, and the lower officials felt that the adults should have acquiesced to my intentions, so they didn't bother the adults again. Why, didn't he say it? Yang Zhen asked with a look of surprise.

"What? You asked Yuan Taidong to ask the governor about this? Liu Shouyou was also stunned, and suddenly became suspicious in his heart: "Yuan Taidong didn't mention anything related to this that day, who are these two people lying?" In fact, from his own heart, he still believed in Yuan Taidong more, but when he thought of the details of that day, Yang Zhen left Yuan Taidong and them for a secret conversation for half an hour, but when the latter reported it, he said that he only talked about some irrelevant topics, which made Liu Shouyou have doubts in his heart.

"Yes, Xia Guan asked Yuan Qianhu and Yu and Song about manpower on the same day. The three thousand households all raised their own manpower shortages to the lower officials. It is precisely because of this that Xia Guan will move this thought, and plan to transfer people from other thousands of households, after all, these three places are the key to my suppression division. Yang Zhen explained in detail.

"Is that so?" Liu Shouyou's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he asked again with doubts, of course he was more willing to believe in his henchman Yuan Taidong than Yang Zhen.

"The lower officials don't dare to lie on such an important matter, if the adults don't believe it......" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's words were stunned, and he waved behind Liu Shouyou with some joy: "Yu Qianhu, Song Qianhu, you came just in time, come and tell the governor what you said when I left you the day before yesterday." ”
