When Chu Meng was taken into the carriage by the people of the governor's yamen, Wang Tingqian watched from the window on the second floor of the Yamen not far away.

In a sense, in this fight with Chu Fan, he lost again!

Chu Meng is a weight for him, a weight for negotiations and even transactions with Chu Fan.

After several encounters, Wang Tingqian finally realized that Chu Fan was no longer the little showman who gave what he wanted, rubbed the circle when he wanted to, and pinched it when he wanted to flatten it; Now he has become an enemy that he must face; is not only a wealthy man in money, but also has a reputation that can earn and earn, which makes people flock to it; Even in the officialdom, with the support of the Dengzhou gentry, it is not easy for him, a third-grade official, to deal with him.

That's how it happened in Chumeng!

He originally planned to use Chu Meng to subdue Chu Fan and make him obediently hand over the members of the cigarette factory that should have belonged to him - in Wang Tingqian's view, Chu Fan's success today is inseparable from his own great help, so he should naturally have a share.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for Chu Fan, but waited for the governor of Shandong!

After he was called to the governor's yamen, the first person in Shandong opened his mouth and asked the eagle beak for the details of the extermination of the squatting mountain tiger, this royal court trial had already made full preparations, answered one by one, and then the governor's request made the royal court try to leave the anger - the governor asked to personally interrogate the relevant people, etc., and directly named Chu Meng!

According to the rules of the Ming officialdom, each department has its own position, and it is taboo to overstep the level and exceed the authority; This is true not only from the bottom to the top, but also from the top to the bottom.

Therefore, Wang Tingqian immediately rejected the unreasonable request of the governor, but he said, "My Shandong affairs are best solved by the yamen in Shandong...... Now the patrol is still there, if he smells something. You're just afraid of a lot of trouble, right? "It scared the hell.

Threat! This is a *naked* threat!

The governor's meaning couldn't be clearer, if you don't hand it over, I can only stab the case to the governor.

However, even if Wang Tingqian knew that this was a threat, he had to give in - the governor's meddling in the division was overstepping his authority, and it was natural for the governor to interfere in the case! (Crab note: The Ming Dynasty patrol was selected from the Imperial Inspectorate and patrolled the provinces.) Directly responsible to the emperor, the official is small and powerful, and he can manage everything)

If you still don't hand over to someone, and the governor doesn't say anything about it, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult for the patrol to pass the test - the matter of squatting mountains and tigers leaks from all sides and is open in all directions, and it is indeed difficult to do it without leakage; And that patrol is a dog, and his nose is so smart that he will die, if he finds the two lepers and Chu Meng in prison......

Wang Tingqian couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, and soon made a wise choice: to make a handover. Hand Chumon over to the governor to dispose of!

Of course, the person was not in vain, for his own safety, Wang Tingtry asked the governor to send Chumeng out of Shandong Province - he had already thought about it, he would kill the second leper when he went back, and then let Chumeng disappear, and there would be no witnesses in this case, even if the patrol came to investigate, it was just a pen and ink lawsuit.

on this. The governor immediately readily agreed, at this point. He and Wang Tingtry had the same thoughts.

Recalling the scene of the governor's yamen, Wang Tingxian panicked in his heart: Chu Fan lost his face again and again, but he never couldn't help the other party, so how could he be embarrassed by this three-grade master!

Looking at the carriage galloping towards Texas, Wang Tingqian muttered in an inaudible voice, "Let's wait for the next day." Let's stay for the future! ”

Chu Meng in the carriage didn't know that his family had been watched by the dignified Shandong envoy for so long, he only knew that he had finally regained his freedom.

The two governors from the yamen were very polite to him and answered all questions; It's just that when Chu Meng asked them where they were going, they laughed and didn't say anything, just burying their heads in the road. That night, they rushed to Texas City.

After staying overnight in Texas, the three of them got on the boat, and after two days of driving 500 miles, they came to Dagukou in Tianjin.

After arriving here and seeing the two Chu Fan's subordinates who had been waiting there for a long time, Chu Meng finally figured out how he got out of trouble.

Dengzhou Bingbeidao wanted to borrow Chu Fan's ship, and Chu Fan took advantage of it to propose to rescue Chu Meng as a condition; With the former's threading needle and thread, plus Chu Fan's large amount of silver sprinkled out, there was a scene where the governor of Shandong in front of him coerced the envoy of Shandong.

After this incident, Chu Meng seemed to have grown up a lot; Although he had been fooling around in Dengzhou in the past and had been in the class room several times, he couldn't compare to this time - this time he was really on the edge of life and death!

His own nonsense not only made Brother Eleven waste a lot of money, but also made Brother Eleventh have a big * trouble - sending food to Ningyuan is not a good errand, I heard that there is chaos over there - although Chu Meng is not stingy, he is not a person who does not know what to do.

So two days later, when Chu Fan's fleet arrived, the first thing Chu Meng said when he saw him was, "Brother Eleven, I will follow you in the future, and my life is yours for Chu Meng!" ”

"My brother, what are you talking about!" Chu Fan first sighed, then looked him up and down, and after confirming that he hadn't lost any parts, he sighed, "Old Thirteen, I'm afraid that if you don't want to follow me, you won't be able to...... You poked the basket too big this time, and the ground in Shandong can't stay anymore...... It's okay, I'm short of reliable people on the North Korean side, so you can go to Ushijima and help me keep an eye on it. ”

"North Korea?" Chu Meng's eyes widened suddenly--this eleventh brother is too powerful, right? Not only in Dengzhou, but also in the feudal country!

"Yes!" Chu Fan nodded and said, "I've been arranging it for a long time, and it doesn't take long to send your second aunt over...... I have already discussed with your father before I came, and he is your son, and I really can't bear to let you be alone in a foreign land, so I plan to move my family there, and now I am selling my property. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Meng was a little uncomfortable, and said curtly, "Brother Eleven, I know it's wrong...... I used to be young, ignorant, and old-fashioned...... When I get there, I promise not to mess around again...... I won't block you or my dad again! ”

Seeing that Chu Meng was finally sensible, Chu Fan was also extremely relieved in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great...... Brother, we are going to do a big thing this time, an earth-shattering thing! …… Follow my brother and do a good job, and one day, you will also go down in history! ”

Leaving a name in history?

Chu Meng was stunned, this was something he couldn't even think of!

When he wanted to ask again, Chu Fan had already turned around and got off the ship, went to hand over to the ambassador in charge of the granary of the military department, and began to load grain on the ship.

Chu Meng didn't understand for a long time, what kind of big thing did Brother Eleven want to do?

Just when the brothers were talking about the future, in Jizhou, more than 200 miles north of Tianjin Wei, a mighty and powerful guard of honor was leaving the city to the east.

The official title plate at the beginning reads "The Book of the Military Department, the Right Deputy Capital Yushi, the Governor of Qin Liao, and the Military Affairs Yuan of Denglai, Tianjin and Other Places", and the name plate of the section reads "Yuan from the Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli", indicating that the owner of this team is the governor of Jiliao, who is very loved by the saints today-Yuan Chonghuan.

In the eight-lift green sedan chair in the center of the car, Yuan Chonghuan is frowning and looking at the file in his hand, he has the typical face shape of a person from Liangguang: high cheekbones, thick lips, and deep eye sockets; What is impressive is that the two deep nasolabial folds above his mouth make him look not angry and arrogant, which is very consistent with his official position as the governor of Jiliao.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because something big had happened in Ningyuan City - two days ago, on the 25th day of July in the first year of Chongzhen, Ningyuan mutinied! (To be continued.) )
