Chapter 204: Finally Turning Around

Zhang Xuan groaned and said: "We announced that he fell into a well and died, but in fact, he was drunk and fell into the toilet and died, because I was still on the way back to Beihai County from Qi County, and when I came back, his body had been buried, I heard Wang Juncheng say that Liang Taishou's wife was not allowed to do an autopsy at that time, and his two sons had no objections, so I will not delve into this matter anymore, I don't know what news Cui Yuanjun heard again?" ”

Jang Hyun's implication is that even his two sons think there is no problem, what do you think?

Of course, Cui Huan understood what Zhang Xuan meant, he sneered in his heart, and continued: "But Liang Taishou's wife Feng personally told me that when he was buried, Liang Taishou had a sword wound on the back of his neck, which proves that he did not accidentally stumble, but was assassinated, does General Zhang understand what I mean?" ”

"Then why didn't his wife tell me about it at the time?"

Zhang Xuan's brows furrowed, he groaned slightly, then stood up decisively and said: "Since this is the case, dig up the grave and conduct an autopsy to find out the truth about Liang Taishou's death!" ”

Zhang Xuan's words suddenly forced Cui Huan into a corner, the person has been buried, and he is buried in the ground, how can he dig it out again, and even if he digs it out, he can't find any clues, it's just a sword wound, who will assassinate him? Nothing can be found.

Cui Huan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Zhang, please calm your anger, I don't mean anything else, I just said that Liang Taishou died too miserably, and I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Xuan sat down slowly, he knew very well in his heart that although Cui Huan didn't say it explicitly, he was actually alluding to Liang Zhi being killed by himself, after all, he Zhang Xuan was the biggest beneficiary, and some things couldn't be explained, but both sides knew it.

But what if he knows, will he Zhang Xuan admit that he killed Liang Zhi, and what evidence can Cui Huan find?

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "Actually, I also heard some gossip, saying that I, Zhang Xuan, assassinated Liang Taishou in order to seize power, I don't pay attention to this nonsense, I believe that the imperial court will make a fair decision, I have sent someone to send someone to the imperial court about the report on Liang Taishou's death, and soon the imperial court will send a new Taishou to arrive." That's when the rumors are self-defeating. ”

"I've also heard rumors that General Zhang was the biggest beneficiary of Liang Zhi's death."

Zhang Xuan sneered, "I, Zhang Xuan, am not a beneficiary, Cui Yuanjun should know." I just reached a compromise with Liang Taishou, and Liang Taishou died, and I was one of the biggest victims. ”

Cui Huan had nothing to say for a while, but in fact, to a large extent, he was not heartbroken by Liang Zhi, but by Liang Zhiyi's death. Qinghe Cui's biggest power in Qingzhou was pulled out, and the imperial court sent a new Taishou, which must belong to a certain force in the imperial court, what should he do with the Cui family?

Cui Huan pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I want to discuss with General Zhang, we don't want the imperial court to send a new Taishou to Beihai County to see if there is any way to recommend a new Taishou that we are all satisfied with, preferably someone we are all familiar with." ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but curse in his heart, what is the relationship between Beihai County and Qinghe Cui's family? Liang died, and the Cui family still wanted to intervene. It's just brazen.

In fact, Zhang Xuan did not write a report to the imperial court at all, and it was not his turn to write a report Zhang Xuan, and if he wanted to write it, it would be written by Wang Yunqian, at least until next year, and after everything was running normally, Zhang Xuan would let Wang Yunqian write a report back.

Of course, Cui Huan also knows this, it is impossible for Zhang Xuan to write a report to the imperial court, so he can't say anything about it, he just says it.

Cui Huan said again: "Beihai County is far away from the imperial court. There were bandits rampant on the road, and the report could not be sent to the imperial court at all, and I don't know about other counties, but at least Qinghe County and Bohai County have not been in contact with the imperial court for two years. In fact, the imperial court doesn't care about the situation of the local government, why don't we recommend a temporary Taishou to maintain local stability, what does the general think? ”

This is the real purpose of Cui Huan's visit to Yidu County this time, Beihai County has always been the sphere of influence of the Qinghe Cui clan.

Now, although Liang is dead, he is unwilling to lose control of Beihai County. Therefore, he wanted to find a person acceptable to both parties to temporarily replace Taishou, so that the Cui family would not completely lose control of Beihai County.

Zhang Xuan already understood what Cui Huan meant, and he asked quietly, "I wonder who Cui Yuanjun thinks is more suitable?" ”

Cui Huan smiled, "What does General Zhang think of Teng Xuan, he used to be the commander of Linzi County, and he is highly respected in Beihai County, if he is willing to come forward, not only can he maintain order in Beihai County, which is convincing, but even if the imperial court knows, there is nothing to say, after all, it is also customary for the family to come forward to maintain local order." ”

If it was someone else, Zhang Xuan would have punched Cui Huan a few times, he had never seen such a shameless person, he thought that Cui Huan would mention Wang Yunqian, but he didn't expect Cui Huan to nominate Teng Xuan, and no matter how it was Teng Xuan's turn, it would not be Teng Xuan's turn to be the Taishou.

And this Cui Huan is very cunning, he nominated Teng Xuan, once the court investigates it, he will also take responsibility himself, but it has nothing to do with him, the Taishou of Bohai County.

Zhang Xuan no longer gave him face, and said directly: "I have asked the marshal about this matter, and the marshal means to act according to the practice of the imperial court, and let the county temporarily take the position of the taishou, in addition, it may not work to conceal the imperial court, after all, the superintendent Xiao Huairang is in Qi County, even if we don't say it, this kind of major event Xiao Huairang will definitely report, I still decided to remind Wang Juncheng to report to the court as soon as possible." ”

Cui Huan's face was full of disappointment, he did not pursue Liang Zhi's death as a condition in exchange for Zhang Xuan's concessions, but Zhang Xuan actually nominated Wang Yunqian, Wang Yunqian is a person without opinions, it is clear that Zhang Xuan himself wants to control Beihai County.

Cui Huan's face changed from disappointment to gloomy, and he said with a gloomy face: "Liang Zhi's death, is it just over?" ”

At this time, Zhang Xuan didn't want to talk to him anymore, he took out the letter Gao Hui gave him, and put it on the table, "I just want to make a big deal small, if Cui Taishou must investigate the cause of Liang Zhi's death, then I can only tell the truth, I think Liang Zhi committed suicide in fear of crime, or someone wants to kill him, Cui Taishou will know if he looks at this letter." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xuan turned around and walked away, Cui Huan picked up the letter suspiciously, slowly opened it and read it, his face was suddenly full of anger, this damn Liang Zhi dared to betray himself and take refuge in the Bohai Society, it is not a pity to die!

Cui Huan sighed after a while, it seemed that the Cui family was really about to lose control of Beihai County.

......

Cui Huan didn't stay too long in Yidu County, and returned directly to the Bohai Sea after leaving the county office, Zhang Xuan was still angry, standing in front of the window and staring coldly at a few sparrows in the yard foraging for food.

At this time, Wei Yunqi slowly walked behind him and asked in a low voice, "Cui Huan rushed away angrily, did the general turn his face with him?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "He proposed to make Teng Xuan the Taishou, but I rejected him, no matter how Teng Xuan turned, he still wanted to continue to control Beihai County and do his Spring and Autumn dream!" ”

Wei Yunqi smiled and said: "Actually, Teng Xuan is not so bad, he is not bad, of course he is not allowed to be too guarded, the meaning of humility means that this person is worth fighting for, and he can also fight for." ”

Zhang Xuan didn't speak, and Wei Yunqi continued: "Teng Xuan doesn't want to be Cui Huan's lackey, it's just that his strength is too weak, and he has been used by Liang Zhi, but he has not received any benefits, so he has to rely on the Qinghe Cui clan, but in any case, he is the head snake of Beihai County, if the general wants to gain a firm foothold in Beihai County, he still has to try his best to win Teng Xuan and get him out of the control of the Qinghe Cui clan." ”

Zhang Xuan's face gradually softened a little, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any ideas, sir?" ”

Wei Yunqi said with a smile: "I think we can recruit some civilian officers in Beihai County to enrich the army, and it just so happens that we also need it, so we can select the descendants from several major families, so that the Beihai family can stand on the same line with us." ”

"But in this way, the tail will be big in the future!" Zhang Xuan sighed softly.

Wei Yunqi was silent for a moment, "The humble position understands the general's worries, but many times we have to face the reality, if the general wants to develop, he must get the support of a famous family, otherwise it is difficult for a person like the general who has no famous background and no illustrious background to stand out in the Great Sui, just like the handsome, although he is very powerful, he has never been recognized by the court and the locality, and the reason is also because he has no background." ”

Zhang Xuan had to admit that Wei Yunqi got to the core, the reason why Zhang Xutuo was not treated well in the court and the local government was not because he couldn't be a man, but because of his background.

In the era of the Great Sui, it is difficult for a person without a family background to get out of the way, if he prides himself on being high like Zhang Xutuo and refuses to associate with the family, he will eventually be Zhang Xutuo's second. (To be continued.) )
