The two of them sorted out their minds and returned to the topic.

Wu Qianping continued to explain: "The Cui family wants to appoint and dismiss local officials above the court, first, to come up with various reasons to make suggestions to the saint, and secondly, to take into account the court forces behind the local officials, which is quite difficult. In recent years, the saint has deliberately weakened the power of the Cui family, and has tried to avoid the Cui family in the selection of officials in important prefectures and counties. And Linghu and Wei Ao both regard the Cui family as a thorn in their side, but the Cui family has a deep foundation and is not so easy to pull out. ”

Only then did Ming Yi understand that it was not so easy to continue to glorify behind Cui's glamorous signboard, no wonder he was planning to control the forces of the rivers and lakes: "Of course, it is more convenient to control the three gangs to eliminate dissidents, and even use the ability of the three gangs to surpass Wang Fa to forcibly take local officials for their own use." For the magistrates, it doesn't make a difference which gang they follow, they are like being dogs, and nothing can save their lives. ”

"So I'm willing to talk to Mingyi." Wu Qianping praised, "Most men's insight and wisdom are not as good as Mingyi's. ”

"That's Brother Qianping's good teaching." Ming Yi casually agreed, and continued to ask, "How can the Cui family be suspicious of the four major families in the bloody case?" It's been so many years. ”

"Recently, the rivers and lakes have not been peaceful. The Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family all showed signs of disobedience to the Cui family's dominance, and after I took over as the liaison envoy, they were polite on the surface, but they were only entertaining in the past, and many important matters were not discussed with me. Although the Cui clan has planted eyeliner in both gangs, they can only trust a few people around them who share their weal and woe with important information, so I can't get any information to question. Wu Qianping was frustrated, it seems that he is very light in the officialdom, and in front of these reckless rivers and lakes, he really touched a lot of nails.

Ming Yi guessed: "Does the Cui family think that the reason why they are not subordinate is that there are other people behind them?" ”

Wu Qianping shook his head: "I don't think so. It is a matter of course that the three gangs did not rise back then, so they naturally needed the Korean and Chinese forces as backers, and now the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family have a stable position in the rivers and lakes, and the local officials are firmly controlled, and the Cui family has a tendency to be idle and scattered by the saints. How could they be willing to hand over a lot of the money they earned from fighting for their lives to the Cui family. ”

"If the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family no longer cooperate with the Cui family, the Cui family should be seriously injured, right? In this way, although there may not be other forces dominating, it is not surprising that there are people who fanned the flames. Mingyi felt that he had heard too many of these things, and he was becoming more and more conspiracy theories.

"But even if there is no officialdom involved now, there will definitely be people who win over the three major gangs in the future. Chang'an is no better than other places, without the escort of officialdom, it is not easy for any gang to gain a firm foothold. Moreover, in recent years, the Cui family has also discovered that outside the forces of the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family, small gangs in various places have an abnormal rising momentum, and they suspect that someone is operating behind it. ”

"Cui's suspicion that it's Linghu or Wei Ao?" Mingyi felt a headache, these two are closely related to the beginning of the time. Linghu did give such an order, although he had not made any major moves at the beginning of the time, but Linghu, the old fox, may not be betting on him alone, or it is unknown if someone else is doing these things.

Wu Qianping frowned: "Although Wei Ao is trusted by the saint, he doesn't have much real power, he offends many people in the court, and he has no henchmen. It is precisely because he does not form a party that he is relied on by the saints. He is good at sending secret agents to collect evidence of officials' crimes, and he is the most troublesome figure for officials in Chang'an. If he secretly supports small gangs in various places, I don't think he is capable of doing so. And Linghu, it's hard to say. Now the DPRK and China are not in a situation where Cui is the Linghu, how many prime ministers have we changed? The saint is suspicious and the most jealous of the ministers, so the emerging forces in the DPRK and China are very complicated, and anyone has the opportunity to leap into the dragon, so it may not be these unseen forces who are secretly obstructing. ”

Mingyi had a headache when she heard this, and she knew that this was not something she could get involved in, so she just persuaded: "It's okay like this, such a situation can give Brother Qianping a chance to take the position." ”

"That's why I hope that Mingyi's Shangguan gang can dominate the rivers and lakes, so that I also have enough capital." Wu Qianping said this, his eyes burning.

Ming Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no matter for yourself, I will let the Shangguan gang come out on top." ”

Wu Qianping said: "By the way, there is also the marriage between the Shangguan Gang and the Peach Seven Gang, and the Cui family also suspects that someone is operating it. I just don't know, before you really master the gang and the martial arts, you must keep a low profile, I don't need to tell you, right? ”

Mingyi nodded: "I understand, let them think that the forces behind the scenes did it." By the way, does the Cui family think that this behind-the-scenes force is related to the bloody case of the four major families back then? ”

Mingyi turned a corner to return to this topic, which was what she was most concerned about now.

Wu Qian responded flatly: "That's right, they feel that the force that destroyed the four major families is to redefine the order of the rivers and lakes and profit from it, and they have been dormant for many years, and they are secretly expanding and fighting hard. It's just that I didn't expect that there was no Cui's fast hand, and he supported the three major gangs to come out and expand rapidly, taking advantage of the fishermen. The force was definitely not convinced, and was determined to support the small local gangs while contacting the three major gangs that were supported and strengthened by the Cui clan to snatch back this benefit. ”

"What do you think?" Mingyi felt that Wu Qianping did not approve of Cui's idea.

Wu Qianping said: "I insist on my judgment, the targets of the killings back then were all people who mastered martial arts, and the heads of the first three families still had a stage of mysterious disappearance, and it was likely that they were taken hostage." Then, the murderer's purpose is martial arts, and he may be a person who is extremely obsessed with martial arts and is obsessed with becoming the number one master in the world. This matter may not have anything to do with the court. ”

Ming Yi felt that he was right in the first half, but not necessarily in the back. If he is said to be right, it is a good thing, at the beginning of the age, it is impossible to be this martial arts madman.

"If you insist on saying that it is related to the court, but there are people in the court who want to cultivate such a world-class master as their own killing tool and life-saving trick." Wu Qianping continued.

Mingyi's expression stiffened, and he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Brother Qianping is too imaginative, how can there be such a thing." ”

Wu Qianping glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's just a possibility that I'm thinking nonsense." By the way, I have one more thing, we may have to meet in three days. ”

"Three days later? Is it Shi Ruoshan and Tao Sanniang's big wedding day? Mingyi was glad he changed the subject.

"Tao Sanniang personally wrote a letter to invite me to go, the Peach Seven Gang is the only obedient gang now, I still have to give her this face. When the time comes, should I be able to see your future husband? Wu Qianping said lightly and poured a cup of tea for Mingyi.

Mingyixin was not here, and he didn't drink tea, so he answered: "You should see it." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to three days." Wu Qianping said with a smile, "Mingyi doesn't like my tea, and he is unsettled, so I won't force me to stay, anyway, we will meet soon." ”

Ming Yi was like an amnesty and hurriedly said goodbye. 2k reading web
