Zheng sat in the chamber and smoked less than two cigarettes before Wang Jing came.

After the lewd brother Wang Jing entered the room, he closed the door tightly, and at this time, Zheng motioned for him to sit opposite him, and then poured him a cup of tea himself.

After Wang Jing thanked him, he took a sip of the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, our migration team should be able to enter Anzhou City smoothly before tomorrow evening, and then we will start to clean up the mess." ”

Zheng nodded after hearing this, and said: "Sir, if you have something to say, don't go around the bend with me, I want to know now, after I go to Anzhou, how many eye-catching stumbling blocks will there be, and when the time comes, I will move them away one by one, if you can't move them, hum...... Just smash it all. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jing smiled lightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, as early as when the imperial court ordered you to go to Beiyuan County to take up your post, at that time I secretly sent some spies to Beiyuan County to find out the news, after all, we are far away in Cangliang Mountain, and we are not familiar with this place at all, if we don't find out the situation and situation here, when the time comes, the king may not be so easy to take office, and it will be much more complicated to clean up." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding in appreciation: "Yes, Mr. is really thoughtful, I didn't even think of going here, but I don't know what Mr. has explored." ”

Wang Jing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation in this Beiyuan County is even more complicated and tricky than we imagined. ”

Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qingjiang County has been turned upside down by us, can it be as difficult as attacking Qingzhou with just one Beiyuan County?" ”

Wang Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "That's the same, but let's be careful." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "According to the news I came back from my investigation, it is said that there is a person in this Beiyuan County, named Gu Changlie, once you become the governor of Beiyuan County, then he will be the biggest stumbling block on this trip." ”

"Gu Changlie. ”

Hearing this name, Zheng groaned slightly and said, "I haven't heard of who he is." ”

Wang Jing nodded and said, "I also recently learned that there is such a tricky person in this Beiyuan County. ”

Zheng suddenly asked again: "This person is very big, and he is very powerful in Beiyuan County. ”

Wang Jing nodded and said: "As far as I know, this Gu Changlie is the real controller of Beiyuan County, the previous governors of Beiyuan County, they can only rely on his snort and be his puppets." ”

Hearing this, Zheng's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What is he?" ”

Wang Jing thought for a moment and said: "Gu Changlie is the patriarch of the Gu family in Guzhou City, and this Gu family is the most powerful gate lord family in Beiyuan County, it is said that the ancestor of this Gu family used to be a branch of the Dalie royal family, and it is considered a royal family, this Gu Changlie was personally given the title of Gu Chenghou by the current emperor, and his sister is the princess of the current grassland Xiongnu king, and she is also extremely favored. Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, glanced at Zheng, and asked, "Do you know which is the largest, most populous, and most prosperous state and trade city in Beiyuan County?" ”

Zheng replied without thinking about it: "Do you still want to ask, it must be Anzhou City, the capital of Beiyuan County, I still know this common sense, you must know that in the Great Lie Empire, the city of which county capital, whether it is population, economy or prosperity, is the first of a county." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "This time, your lord, you guessed wrong, in other counties, the county is definitely the first city of a county, but in Beiyuan County, it is not, now in Beiyuan County, the largest, most populous and prosperous city is Guzhou City, and this Guzhou City is the fief and territory of the Gu family. All kinds of taxes are collected by the Gu family, and after the Gu family collects the tax, they don't have to pay it to the imperial court, because Guzhou is their back cover territory, and in this territory, everything belongs to them, and they have the right to decide the life and death of all the residents in Guzhou City, so this Gu family is not only the biggest gate valve in Beiyuan County, but also the most powerful local tyrant in Beiyuan County. ”

Zheng frowned, and his heart sank: "I really didn't expect that this Gu Changlie, whether it is his identity or background, is so huge, so he is indeed a tricky opponent." ”

Wang Jing nodded and said, " According to the news I learned from the investigation, this Gu Changlie is ruthless and cold-blooded, and his methods are cruel, colluding with many bandits in Beiyuan County, specifically dealing with those newly appointed magistrates, and the newly appointed officials in the five cities of Beihu, no matter how big or small, must obediently listen to him, look at his face and act, if there are officials who do not obey or dare to do more with him, they will basically be broken into the house by some murderous horse bandits and robbers, and the whole family will be slaughtered, although it is those murderous bandits who sent people to investigate afterwards, but everyone knows that this is the end of offending Gu Chenghou。

It is said that there was once a powerful magnate in the emperor, because he offended the emperor for a while, the emperor was angry for a while, and he was temporarily demoted to Beiyuan County as the governor, the magnate is also a domineering person, he is not only very powerful in the court, even the deputy commander of the mountain pass is his brother-in-law, so as soon as he came to Beiyuan County, he competed with Gu Chenghou, and there were many frictions, but he forgot that this Beiyuan County is not the imperial capital, although he is a strong dragon, but how can he overpower Gu Chenghou, the head snake, so he has been in office for less than a year, and when he went to the north of the county to inspect, he was a group of Hun bandits who flowed from the grassland, cut into more than a dozen pieces, even the accompanying Du, was also divided by the five horses, this matter caused a sensation in the government and the opposition that year, and the deputy commander of the Lianshan Pass led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, straight to the city of Guzhou, wanting to ask for an explanation for his brother-in-law, but in the end it ended hastily with no evidence of death. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jing's face gradually became solemn, and he said: " Your Majesty, this Gu Chenghou is in Beiyuan County, the power is monstrous, whether it is grain, oil or livestock, all walks of life are monopolized by him, and his family is deeply rooted in this place, at present, in the entire Beiyuan County, almost eighty percent of the officials, are his clansmen or lackeys, especially in the five major states of Beihu, almost all the officials are his cronies who have been placed and promoted, and he also has secret contacts with some foreign tribes on the border, so to speak, he is the native of Beiyuan County, since the previous governor retired due to illness, he has naturally become an auxiliary county, temporarily in charge of all things in Beiyuan County for the imperial court, so, Now in Beiyuan County, Gu Chenghou covers the sky with one hand. ”

When Zheng heard this, he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, and suddenly, his laughter stopped, two cold lights flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Cover the sky with one hand, in my territory, whoever dares is worthy ,......"
