However, there is a good saying: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment......

What Sun Chengzong didn't expect was that after the bloody purge of the officialdom of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces for half a year, although it was not yet clear, large-scale corruption still disappeared completely.

Civil and military officials who do not even dare to embezzle will not have the courage to intercept the taxes that should be paid to the governor's palace.

Therefore, the various yamen in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, except for the office silver taels allocated to them from the governor's palace when Wei Zheng was the governor, did not have a tael of extra silver at all.

Of course, even if they have money, at this moment, they have become too busy to take care of themselves.

Since the news that Wu Baotian, the governor of Shanxi, was the first to fall to Sun Chengzong, reached Wei Zheng's ears, the subsidy secretly issued to them by the Governor's Office was cancelled by Wei Zheng.

At the same time, the officials sent by Zhou Shuyuan also entered the jurisdiction of these officials and began to collect evidence of their possible crimes and corruption in a big way.

Even later generations, when the system was more rigorous, as long as the government was willing to investigate, it could find evidence of any official's crime. What's more, there are almost no regulatory bodies, and officials have very great power in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in less than half a month, there is a prefect and two county orders...... In front of the ironclad evidence, he was arrested by the officials sent by Zhou Shuyuan and convicted in accordance with the Ming Xing Law.

Because the whole process of investigation and conviction was carried out so quickly, Sun Chengzong, as the governor, did not receive these news at all. It is also not clear that these dozen or so officials who have finally turned to themselves are in the stage of being reviewed. In a dangerous situation where everyone is at risk.

Sun Chengzong did not know about these circumstances. Already on the same boat to put on. Wu Baotian and others, who are both prosperous and lossless, are clear about these things, and they know Zhou Shuyuan's purpose for doing this......

However, even though they knew that Zhou Shuyuan was taking revenge on their betrayal, they had nothing to do.

Because, the methods used by Zhou Shuyuan are all above board. Without the slightest intrigue.

Even if he found Sun Chengzong, he had not really grasped the power of the governor of Shanxi, and there was no way to prevent Zhou Shuyuan from exercising his right to be an envoy......

Therefore, at this moment, in addition to regretting the decision to fall to Sun Chengzong, everyone is left with their own danger and tired of coping with the censorship of the Imperial Mission.

In the face of Sun Chengzong's henchmen and guards who came to see him, Wu Baotian and the others not only did not have the slightest idea of seeing the savior, but also wanted to avoid these people and completely put aside the relationship between themselves and Sun Chengzong. took this opportunity to show favor to Zhou Shuyuan, and he had already severed relations with Sun Chengzong.

Of course. Among these people, there are still some people who have no political mind, do not see the form clearly, and think that Sun Chengzong is standing behind the imperial court, and he will definitely win the final struggle.

Seeing the guards sent by Sun Chengzong, he directly told his tragic experience, hoping that Sun Chengzong could take action and let the people from the embassy not investigate any more.

After listening to the cries of these officials, the guards with a shocked face did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the governor's palace with a complicated expression of disappointment and shock, and reported to Sun Chengzong.

In the lobby of the Governor's Palace, after listening to the guards' report, Sun Chengzong's face was directly flushed with anger.

Regardless of his identity as the governor of Shanxi, he shouted loudly: "Zhou Shuyuan, it's this Zhou Shuyuan again......"

"What does he want to do, rectify the officialdom and discipline, such a big thing, he didn't even discuss it with his own official, the governor of Shanxi. Did he Zhou Shuyuan still take this official in his eyes, didn't he know that the officials he was checking now were all his own people? ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear...... Sun Chengzong vented his anger because of what Zhou Shuyuan did.

Standing in front of Sun Chengzong, after a long time of hearing and seeing the hearts of his henchmen and guards, he faintly felt that things were definitely not as simple as the governor in front of him thought.

Since following Sun Chengzong in front of him into Datong, all kinds of conspiracies against the governor in front of him have not been interrupted.

If all these conspiracies are connected, an invisible web will be formed.

And the goal of this big net is Sun Chengzong, who is standing in front of him. Step by step, little by little, Sun Chengzong was forced to a dead end and forced out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

For the sake of Sun Chengzong in front of him, the guard didn't think about it, and said the analysis in his heart.

After listening, Sun Chengzong also slowly calmed down.

frowned, and affirmed to the guard: "Tong Guò These things, the official can also see it...... The entire Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, from top to bottom, did not want to see this official continue to serve as the governor of Shanxi. ”

"Just like you just said, they are doing so much just to force the officials out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

"However, since this official dares to come here, he will not leave in disgrace. No matter how big the difficulty, no matter how many difficulties, this official will overcome it......"

At this time, the guard standing in front of him spoke again.

"My lord, in addition, the last general has a bold guess: with Zhou Shuyuan's own strength, it is absolutely impossible to create such a big net for us. Therefore, the last general guessed that behind Zhou Shuyuan and Lord Zhou, there was still someone manipulating this qiē......"

"There is still someone behind Zhou Shuyuan......" Hearing this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but think about this sentence to himself.

At the same time, my mind was like playing a movie, recalling all the encounters I had after entering the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi little by little.

For a veteran officialdom like Sun Chengzong, there is basically no conspiracy that can hide his eyes. Therefore, as long as he can keep scrutinizing one thing, he will definitely be able to see things that ordinary people can't see.

As time passed, Sun Chengzong's face changed little by little.

Slowly from the beginning of the solemnity, to anger, and then to despair......

If the guards' conjectures are all correct, there are still people behind Zhou Shuyuan.

With Zhou Shuyuan's current status, there are only Wei Zheng who can command him......

If Wei Zheng is really the director of the whole conspiracy, then it proves that after he saw Wei Zheng for the first time, the sneak attacks and assassinations he experienced were .......all a big drama that Wei Zheng played for himself.

There is only one purpose, and that is to delay his own entry into Beijing.

Since all of these are directed by Wei Zheng, at this moment, Wei Zheng, who is lying on the hospital bed 'recuperating', and is called a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, may not be injured at all......

After such careful calculations, since he entered the governor of Shanxi, he has fallen into a series of traps carefully prepared by Wei Zheng for himself.

Faced with this very probable fact, Sun Chengzong directly felt a kind of anger in his heart that he had been deceived.

Then, he was played with applause, and followed Wei Zheng to deceive the emperor, let the emperor make a wrong decision, and even ruined the despair of the entire Ming Dynasty.

A fist full of anger and despair slammed into the table in front of him.

Sun Chengzong walked out of the lobby directly, wanting to prove whether everything he had just deduced was true.

"My lord, where are you going...... Don't be impulsive, this is Datong, Shanxi, not the capital ......" The guards who rushed out of the lobby immediately after, faced with the anger emanating from Sun Chengzong's body, hurriedly reminded.

Sun Chengzong didn't reply and said: "This official was not afraid to kill in and out of the battlefield back then, let alone a Datong Mansion ......."

After glancing at the dozen or so guards who hurried over, he had an idea and ordered loudly: "Immediately gather all the guards and go with this official to break into the mansion used by Lord Wei to 'recuperate', and see if our Lord Wei is really seriously injured and has to stay in bed for 'recuperation'......"

can be brought all the way from the capital to Datong by Sun Chengzong, these guards, without exception, are Sun Chengzong's henchmen.

Therefore, even if you know that you are going to break into the Wei Zheng Mansion, it is likely that there will be more luck than luck. These guards, still without the slightest hesitation, shouted and ordered: "Yes, my lord......"

In the ward that Wei Zheng used to recuperate, Zhou Shuyuan was reporting to Wei Zheng with a smile on his face that the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces was becoming more and more favorable to him.

Just when Wei Zheng listened to the report and nodded his head from time to time to express satisfaction.

A noisy quarrel suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Go away....this official is the governor of Zhengyipin Mountain appointed by the imperial court, see who dares to stop this official..."

"From now on, as long as you dare to stop in front of the official, don't blame the official for not having long eyes....get out of the way of me immediately..."

The chaotic and murderous roar had just reached Wei Zheng's ears when the closed door of the room was pushed open.

Then, Sun Chengzong, who was angry and still holding a big knife in his hand, rushed in.

After glancing at the situation in the room, Sun Chengzong's gaze was directly fixed on Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the chair at this time, without the slightest appearance of illness.

As soon as his brows furrowed, a trace of fierce murderous aura emanated from Sun Chengzong's body.

While staring at Wei Zheng with a pair of eyes, he asked Wei Zheng rhetorically: "This official really didn't guess wrong, Lord Wei, you really weren't injured....all of these are a huge conspiracy of Lord Wei to delay the time to enter Beijing..."

"Master Wei, you are hiding this official so miserably..."

"Not only that, but I also let this official play a wrong play for the court....If you let the emperor know that you are not sick at all now, this official is guilty of deceiving the monarch and a sinner of the Ming Dynasty..."

Wei Zheng did not hide from Sun Chengzong's murderous gaze at him.

After taking a deep breath, he affirmed loudly: "What Master Sun said is right, all the qiē is a play played by Ben Shuai for you..."

"As for the reason, you have just said that Ben Shuai does not want to leave the two provinces of Shanxi and ......Shaanxi..."
