Fu Yusheng shook his head and said, "There is no evidence. It's just that after Lord Gongsun was caught by Zhu Lingyue's subordinates, he has been secretly imprisoned, and it is also a secret interrogation, even if Lord Gongsun is wronged, there is nowhere to redress his grievances. ”

Chu Huan asked, "If someone really wants to wronged Lord Gongsun, who will be wronged?" And what good is it to brand Gongsun as a traitor to those who wronged him? ”

Old lady Su stroked her long beard and sat upright, Qian Boyi and Hong Shengtao glanced at each other, and did not speak immediately, Fu Yusheng looked left and right, and saw that the other people did not mean to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Governor, there are some things that should not be said, I have no credentials, even if I say it, it is suspected of opening my mouth, but it is just ......!" ”

Chu Huan immediately waved his hand and smiled: "Senior Fu, don't think like this, this is in the side hall, I met a few people today, but the juniors drank tea and talked with the seniors, and there were no other scruples...... If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, and even if you say it wrong, everyone won't be careful. ”

Fu Yusheng's face showed a slight look of relief, and then he said: "My lord, I don't know if you know that half of the officials in Xiguan Dao are now sponsored by Zhu Lingyue and his henchmen. ”

"Zhu Lingyue?" Chu Huan's face did not change, "Senior Fu is the Governor of Tianshan Dao?" ”

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng said: "Before the Western Liang army entered Yanmen Pass, there were three roads in the northwest, with Xiguan being the strongest, and Tianshan Road being the weakest...... However, after the Xiliang soldiers came, Lu Xuan abandoned the city and fled, Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan disappeared, but only Zhu Lingyue led the army out of battle, at that time Xiguan was in chaos, the soldiers and the people were not distinguished, but Zhu Lingyue also reorganized the troops and horses, gathered the rout, and built a defensive line...... It was his deeds that made him famous, and the soldiers and people in the northwest regarded him as a good thing, that is, we also thought that Zhu Lingyue was a great hero ......! ”

"And what happened?"

"General Yu Buqu came to the northwest to take charge of military affairs, but most of the government affairs were handed over to Zhu Lingyue, and Zhu Lingyue's power spread throughout the entire northwest." The old lady finally sighed: "Your Excellency the Governor should have also heard that Zhu Lingyue was once known as the Governor of the Three Provinces, and in the northwest situation, the imperial court was the first to rely on Yu Buyielding, and the second was to rely on Zhu Lingyue. ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "At this time, I have heard a little, and I have also heard of the name of the governor of the three realms. ”

"Lu Xuan, the governor of Xiguan, abandoned the city and fled, and was later searched and arrested by the Shenyi Guard, Xiao Huanzhang, the governor of Beishan, was said to be sick and couldn't get out of bed, and he ignored political affairs, plus Zhu Lingyue's prestige at that time was like the sky, his hands and feet touched three ways, and he handled the three political affairs." The old lady said slowly: "Yu Buqu is only in charge of military affairs, Zhu Lingyue manages government affairs and logistics, when Yu Buqu is still there, Zhu Lingyue has already begun to exclude dissidents, at that time, there were impeachment excerpts at almost three days and two ends to Beijing in the past, the court trusted him very much, every fold up, it won't be long before officials in the northwest will fall off, and he in the name of meritocracy, but in the northwest three states and counties have installed their own manpower......!" ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Old lady, could it be that there are many officials in the prefectures and counties of Xiguan who have arranged for him?" ”

"My lord, you think for yourself, Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan Dao is not good at stubble, and he has a deep foundation in Beishan, but Zhu Lingyue still uses various means to depose many officials in Beishan, and many of Zhu Lingyue's old departments have been installed in the state capitals and counties of Beishan, and Xiao Huanzhang lives in Beishan, he can do this, the situation in Xiguan is much easier than that in Beishan." The old lady stroked his beard and said: "Almost the entire territory of Xiguan has fallen, Lu Xuan has fled, and seven or eight out of ten of the officials under him have also fled, and many people have really thrown themselves to the side of the Xiliang people and become traitors." It is said that Zhu Lingyue specially gathered a group of righteous people from the rivers and lakes to form a hoe and rape hall, which is full of a group of high-ranking and courageous people ......! ”

Before the old lady finished speaking, Fu Yusheng had already sneered: "At the beginning, I also felt that this hoe and traitor hall was loyal to the country, but now it seems that that Governor Zhu is afraid that he has already planned to establish the hoe and traitor hall, which seems to be to eradicate the traitor, but I feel that it is to win over the rivers and lakes." After the Western Liang soldiers came in, many of the strangers from the rivers and lakes of the three religions and the nine streams often assassinated the Xiliang army, but they were all a group of rabble, but after Zhu Lingyue built the hoe and rape hall, those Jianghu strangers all defected to the hoe and rape hall, and it is said that hundreds of people joined in the hoe and rape hall before and after ......! ”

Chu Huan asked, "Is this hoe hall used to assassinate the people of Xiliang?" ”

"In addition to the Western Liang people, the most important thing is to assassinate those Qin officials who defected to the Western Liang people." The old lady said, "But...... Now it has become a tool used by Zhu Lingyue to collect evidence of officials' crimes. ”

"Tools?"

"Exactly, before Yu Buqu passed away, the hoe gang had already begun to search for evidence of officials for Zhu Lingyue, and at that time, a large number of officials were dismissed, and the biggest one was Lu Xuan." The old lady explained: "The hoe traitor hall checked a lot of evidence of Lu Xuan's crimes, and later Lu Xuan was escorted to the capital by the Shenyi guard to behead, and the criminal evidence collected by the hoe rape hall was also handed over by Zhu Lingyue to the Shenyi guard and brought back to the capital. ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly.

"The hoe gang has collected a lot of evidence of the crimes of Xiguan officials, and now the officials in the state capitals and counties of Xiguan have been replaced six or seven times out of ten." The old lady explained: "Let's just say that most of the various departments and yamen in Shuoquan Mansion City are new officials, and the six departments of the yamen, only the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are still the former directors, and the other four departments, the upper and lower officials have almost all changed, although the heads of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites have not been replaced, but many officials under the two departments and yamen have changed a lot. ”

Fu Yusheng followed closely and said: "My lord, what happened in Beiwanglou today is actually the ghost of those people, headed by Dongfang Xin, most of those people were raised by Zhu Lingyue, they formed a party, the adults have just arrived, they are so rude, they are going to give the adults a ...... to get off the horse!" After a pause, "My lord, Lord Gongsun was originally the governor of Yuezhou, and his prestige in Xiguan was not under the governor Lu Xuan, and although Lu Xuan was a mediocre talent, there was one thing that he did not do badly, that is, to reuse Lord Gongsun, and let Lord Gongsun do many things...... ”

Chu Huan sighed lightly: "In fact, in a high position, sometimes you don't need to have much talent, for those in a high position, the most needed ability is to be good at seeing people, good at using people, and being able to recognize people and use people, you are a capable person." After a pause, he said, "It's a pity that this Governor Lu is a little less timid......!" ”

"Your Excellency is right, Lu Xuan makes good use of Lord Gongsun, which is one of his political achievements." The old lady said: "Gongsun Chu is talented, and when it comes to knowing people, he is even more deserved, he used to implement the policy of official assessment, and the officials were assessed every two years, so there were still many capable ministers and officials in the state capitals and counties of Xiguan before......!" ”

Fu Yusheng finally said at this time: "My lord, in fact, because of this, Lord Gongsun will be wronged. ”

Chu Huan raised his hand and said, "What did Senior Fu say this?" ”

"Zhu Lingyue is proud of his achievements, he has always regarded himself as the governor of the three northwestern provinces, and now that the people of Xiliang have retired, he is reluctant to give up the power in his hands." Fu Yusheng obviously has a big opinion of Zhu Lingyue, "If Lord Gongsun is not beaten into a traitor, then Lord Gongsun is a hero who resists the enemy, and as soon as Lu Xuan dies, the most promising person to succeed Lu Xuan as the governor of Xiguan is naturally Lord Gongsun." ”

Chu Huan agreed: "This is true, if Gongsun Chu is not accused of being a traitor, with his talent and prestige in Xiguan, he is really the most suitable candidate for the governor of Xiguan." ”

"If Lord Gongsun is the governor of Xiguan, if Zhu Lingyue wants to dictate the military and political affairs of Xiguan, it will not be so easy." Fu Yusheng said: "So the Gongsun is a traitor, so that he can have the opportunity to stretch his hands and feet to Xiguan, now many of the officials in the state capitals and counties of Xiguan Province are related to him and hold the military power Dongfang Xin, who was Zhu Lingyue's descendant before, and now Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou, was the head of the Xiguan Household Department, but now he has become the governor of Yuezhou, without Zhu Lingyue's support, he can't sit in this position." ”

"Oh?" Chu Huanqi said: "Dong Shizhen is the former head of the Household Department? ”

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng clenched his fists, "Speaking of which, this Dong Shizhen was promoted by Lord Gongsun back then, if it wasn't for Lord Gongsun's promotion, Dong Shizhen would not have been able to enter the Sixth Division of Fucheng to be the head of the household department, but Lord Gongsun was wronged, not only did he not complain for Lord Gongsun, but colluded with Zhu Lingyue's gang ......!" At this point, the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

Chu Huan was silent for a while, and finally asked, "In addition to Gongsun Chu this time, a group of officials will be beheaded?" Those officials are also former officials of Xiguan? ”

"In fact, most of the people who were beheaded with Lord Gongsun this time were officials promoted by Lord Gongsun before." Fu Yusheng said: "The notice said that in addition to Lord Gongsun, there are thirteen officials to be executed together, and the case has been tried and finalized a few months ago, and then the case file has been sent to the capital. ”

Chu Huan was thoughtful, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that I was in a hurry, I just rushed to Shuoquan to take up my post today, and I will see the officials being beheaded tomorrow ......!" ”

Fu Yusheng couldn't help but say: "My lord, the beheading of Lord Gongsun is the day chosen by the Department of Criminal Affairs, they don't do it sooner or later, but wait until tomorrow, don't you think they did it on purpose?" ”

Old lady Su coughed twice, and Fu Yusheng also knew that under his excitement, many things that should not be said in the open couldn't help but be said, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, but his heart was comfortable, today the four families with the seven surnames of Xiguan came, and they were not restrained, but said some heart-wrenching words, which made Chu Huan quite satisfied, at least it shows that these families are very friendly to themselves, Fu Yusheng, as the head of the Fu family, with his age and identity, is definitely not a person who easily shows his attitude, and he must be very cautious when he speaks, but today he can speak with an open heart, which can only show that these words have been held in Fu Yusheng's heart for a long time, and he can say the words held in his heart to himself, Chu Huan has already keenly captured it, and I am afraid that the seven surnames of Xiguan have already regarded themselves as backers.
