"What Lord Yuan said is very true, this matter is very small, it is a pirate attack on the port, and if it is big, it is to investigate the responsibility, if we people are found out because of that little thing in Longtong County, then it is really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven." An official stroked his beard and said.

"That's right, Xia Guan also agrees with Yuan Lao's words." Another official chimed in.

Yuan Xin was not obvious on the surface, but in his heart he was very satisfied with his prestige, he looked at Tian Jianbi and asked, "What does the prefect think of this matter?" ”

"You're done, what else do you want me to say?" Tian Jianbi asked rhetorically.

"......" Yuan Xin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he also understood that he was like this, which made Tian Jianbi unhappy, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't blame himself for this matter, after all, Tian Jianbi let go of this matter, let everyone speak freely, if he didn't say anything, with Tian Jianbi's temperament, he would also be dissatisfied with himself.

"My lord, Yuan Lao's words, in fact, there is no other meaning, in fact, compared to the opinion on this matter, what we should be more worried about should be the change of official position, the lower officials have heard that Admiral Yu Da is there, I am afraid that there will be a change, we want to suppress the affairs of Longtong County, it is an important position, so instead of thinking about whether we should report the matter of Longtong County, it is better to think about how we should deal with ourselves in the future if Admiral Yu Da's side is removed."

When an official surnamed Sun said this, several other officials changed their faces one by one, because the official surnamed Sun was the chief admiral in charge of their area, although this official position was in the name of the admiral, in fact, it was not a real admiral, but a relatively unique "supervisor", all of whom were eunuchs, in other words, this kind of "admiral" was completely the eyeliner of the imperial court.

They also have a big admiral here in Yanzhou, in order to curry favor with this big admiral, they have a lot of blood, and even now, they still have to send silver to the "admiral" every year, and the purpose of their sending silver is also obvious, that is, to make this "admiral" turn a blind eye to the affairs of Yanzhou.

The Admiral Yu is also very knowledgeable, and often mentions points, saying that as long as it is not on the table, he will not interfere, but if it is too big, he may turn his face at any time, in short, it is a lot of benefits, and the responsibility is not much.

Over the years, they have all been peaceful, but as a result, at this critical moment, the position of the "Admiral" is about to move, isn't it embarrassing?

In the future, will these people still have to blead to curry favor with the next "Admiral"?

Or, what is the attitude of the next "admiral", will it be difficult to get along with?

Compared with Admiral Yu's character of interfering in everything and making a profit, the kind of admiral who does not accept "filial piety silver" really makes them scared, because that kind of admiral is often upright, at least on the surface, so if there is any movement on their side, it will definitely be known by the court.

Therefore, although I am not very satisfied with Admiral Yu, who would dare to say that it will be better than Admiral Yu? Can they still do these smuggling transactions? No one can tell.

Just when everyone was discussing the matter of Admiral Yu leaving and a new admiral, an official wearing a crow blue official robe, a wide belt of the same color moire tied around his waist, a hooked nose, and a pair of triangular eyes with deep eyes stood up and said loudly: "Regardless of whether Admiral Yu is leaving, you have the time to say this, it is better to think about how to end after this fight in Longtong County, if the official is not mistaken, I am afraid that Dadu has already got the news, knowing that our Yanzhou and pirates have fought each other, is still defeated, so whether Admiral Yu can leave or not, whether a new Admiral will come, and if we discuss it now, I'm afraid it's already too late. ”

The person who spoke, his name is Ye Guangji, strictly speaking, he is not an official in Yanzhou, but a general directly sent down from the capital, guarding the coast of Yanzhou, even if it is Tian Jianbi, he must give him three points of face.

Therefore, as soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent, some people looked at him, and some people looked at Tian Jianbi, waiting to see what kind of reaction Tian Jianbi had.

After hearing Ye Guangji's words, Tian Jianbi's originally calm face sank a little more, and he said: "General Ye's words, this official has already thought of it, the situation over there in Dadu, this official will also make people pay attention to it, as for the matter in Longtong County, I think it can still be hidden, I really can't hide it, so I will discuss it with those adults above, and if I think those adults, I will not be willing to cause more trouble." ”

Tian Jianbi's meaning is very clear, if he can hide it, he won't report it, if he really can't hide it, then he will talk about things that can't be hidden, in short, he still has to hide it for the time being.

In fact, Tian Jianbi's idea can be regarded as catering to the thoughts of a group of officials, after all, if they hide it, their smuggling business may still be rejuvenated, but if they don't hide it, they will send people down to suppress it, and it is difficult to say whether it is the pirates or them who are suppressed.

It's just that Ye Guangji listened to Tian Jianbi's words, he didn't seem very happy, a little displeased, he was the leader of the soldiers, although his attitude towards the soldiers was not as close as a brother, but he was also very concerned, Tian Jianbi said that he didn't report it, maybe it was a good thing for Yanzhou, but for those soldiers who died while fighting with the pirates, it was not so kind.

After all, if they didn't report it, the soldiers would have no pension, and their families wouldn't know that they were dead.

However, thinking so in his heart, Ye Guangji did not speak out against Tian Jianbi's decision, because it was the soldiers of the Ding Navy who died, and the person who should be worried was Yan Hongxin, and the sinking was also the ship of the Ding Navy, I heard that there were only a few ships in the Ding Navy, and the robbers who were robbed at this time, the sunken ships, and I don't know if they have no ships in the future, and they are not considered to be the navy.

Ye Guangji thought about it briefly in his heart, and didn't continue to think about it, and this matter was temporarily overturned.

On the other side, the county government of Longtong County is a different scene.

"My lord, do you really want to report this matter of pirates?" Zhao Yongkang looked at Xiao Xiantang with confusion, feeling that Xiao Xiantang's words were really a bit unbelievable.

Xiao Xiantang nodded and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?" ”

Zhao Yongkang smiled dryly and said, "However, it is a bit embarrassing to report your defeat." ”
