Chapter Twenty-Three: Taishou
Luzhou City, the county guard.
It is a six-storey, quaint building with a statue of an eagle painted in gold, which is the hallmark of the Great Jin Kingdom.
Luzhou Taishou Zhou Yu, standing by the window, looked at the crowd holding slogans outside the wall downstairs, and the crowd blocking the door of the mansion in Wuyang and Wuyang had a gloomy face.
"What did they say today?" Zhou Yu asked.
Behind him, stood a young woman in a flying fish suit with a gold belt around her waist.
This is, of course, the Great Jin Jinyi Guard.
The Jinyiwei system was originally established by the Liang State, and after Zhao Shengjun usurped the throne and changed the dynasty to the Great Jin, he retained the Jinyiwei and used it as a violent institution for the imperial court to supervise the eight directions.
Zhou Yu served as an official for ten years, and later transferred to the Jinyi Wei system, and stood in the right position when Zhao Shengjun usurped the throne, and had the merit of being a dragon.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be promoted to become rich. A few years ago, he first rose to the position of Jinyiwei commanding affairs, and then sought to be released, and went to Luzhou, the second largest city in Jiangdong, to serve as the Taishou of a county, and held real power.
After arriving in Luzhou, this young Taishou, who had been a central official and had also worked as a brocade guard, was also unwilling to be lonely.
As soon as he came, he had a lot of conflicts with the Jiang family, who was the head snake of Luzhou. Moreover, he also found evidence of the Jiang family's rebellion, so he launched his relationship in the Jinyiwei system, gathered the strength of the Jiangdong Jinyiwei, and cooperated with the Shangjun soldiers to destroy the Jiang family in one fell swoop.
It's just that Taishou, who has only been here for less than a year, still underestimated the reputation of 'Wu Zhihao' in the Jiangdong realm.
After the news of Jiang Ming's death came out, the next day, the local forces in the rivers and lakes found trouble for him, and the government's execution began to be blocked; On the third day, that is, the day Jiang Yun had just escaped from prison, there were Jianghu sects and local tyrants in other places who began to take action.
Outside the door was holding 'We want justice!' 'Murder pays for life!' ', 'Qi dog get out of Jiangdong!' The people of these brands are all local heroes, and many of them are from other places.
The so-called 'Qi Dog' scolded him, he is a native of the old Qi country. The end of the era of the Nine Kingdoms, it has been thirty-six years since the fall of the Wu State, and the Qi State is even earlier, and the Liang State was lost more than a hundred years ago, but now the local consciousness of the people is still very strong, and it is named after the Nine Kingdoms.
Zhou Yu was under a lot of pressure.
These places are strong, one or two is not a problem, he is the magistrate of a county, and he has a good relationship with the Jiangdong Jinyi Health Administration. However, when almost all the local forces in Luzhou, and even all the wealthy families and famous families in the entire Jiangdong, began to oppose him, he was powerless.
At present, the people holding up signs and protesting outside the county guard mansion are just a drizzle of local forces against him. Although almost all of these people were cultivators, and there were even some masters of the Realm of Danger, he really wanted to expel them, and transferred the county soldiers from the barracks outside the city, and dispersed them in a matter of minutes.
However, this doesn't make any sense.
From taxation to city management and even within government departments...... Now the whole execution is paralyzed.
Only now did he truly realize the meaning of the four words 'Wu Zhihao'.
It's not just him who is anxious, his boss, the governor of Jiangdong, has already sent a letter from Jianye to inquire about this matter, and the meaning of the words is 'The mess you made, you quickly solve it for me!' ’。
Although he has someone in the court, he is not very afraid of the governor, but after all, he is his own boss, and it is not good to really get in trouble.
It's full of pressure up and down, and he can't even sleep well these days.
Of course, he can continue to use the army and deal with Luzhou's affairs by forceful means, but if he makes such a big storm with a 'Wu Zhihao', and then cleans up the group of people gathered in Luzhou, how big does the turmoil become? If he really provokes the rebels, no matter how hard he is in the court, he will not be able to withstand such a big responsibility.
Don't say that the black gauze hat is not guaranteed, and his life may be thrown out of the blame.
There are many scruples about the means of power, so we can only talk about it.
I've been talking about it for a few days, and now it's finally coming out.
The woman standing behind him, named Bian Ling, is the deputy commander of the Jiangdong General Administration of Jinyi Wei, and Zhou Yu's former subordinate, but now the position of deputy commander is not low, and the two are now almost equal.
"Lord Zhou, the conditions they put forward have not changed. Let's not talk about the miscellaneous, the main ones are still those two, one is to ask for Jiang Ming's son Jiang Yun to be handed over completely, and the other is to ask you to resign and go to the wilderness. ”
Zhou Yu was silent.
It is impossible for him to agree to these two conditions now.
Let's start with the second item, if he admits cowardice at this time and chooses to resign and leave, it will mean that his political life is completely over, and he would rather be dismissed than so.
If he resigns, it means that he will not be able to resist the pressure and deal with this kind of affairs, and it is impossible for him to return to a high position, and the upper echelons will not trust him, and the subordinates will not believe him.
In contrast, the first release of Jiang Yun is not so important. Jiang Ming is dead, Jiang Yun will let it go, what can he do if he keeps such a Qixing star who has no Jiang power?
He originally planned to do so, yes, if it wasn't for Jiang Yun escaping from prison.
Now it's okay, he wants to release people, but he doesn't have to.
Thinking of this, he asked again: "Is there any news of Jiang Yun?" ”
"No, as if he disappeared out of thin air, we have turned Luzhou City upside down in the past two days, not only did we not find him, but there was not even a trace of him left behind."
Zhou Yu was even more irritable: "Why is this happening? He is a little thing in the realm of enlightenment, why can't he leave a trace in the hands of your Jinyi guard? ”
"I don't know...... However, speaking of which, this reminds me of the incident ten years ago, when Chang Lijian, the 'Killer Sword', was imprisoned in Luzhou Prison, and he also escaped from the prison mysteriously. Could it be the same way? ”
"Nonsense." Zhou Yu said, "What kind of character is Chang Lizhen? How can that kid be compared to the people of the Abyss Realm? ”
Bian Ling didn't speak, but he didn't feel very comfortable: Zhou Yu's words were a little harsh and unpolite, as if Bian Ling was still the same subordinate he was back then.
But now that she has sat in the position of deputy commander, she is not a system with Zhou Yu, and her official position is almost the same, and she is really unhappy to be called around like this.
Zhou Taishou didn't notice this, and his mind was full of irritability now.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Jiang Yun still has to continue to look for it, and he must continue to talk with this group of heroes." However, don't make too much fanfare about Jiang Yun, let alone post any wanted notices, so as not to continue to irritate these people. ”
"Hmm." Responding without being salty, Bian Ling turned to leave.
