Chapter 45

Everything He Xi did was not only completely controlled by Guo Huan, but even Mao Xiang was fully understood.

However, He Xi's actions made the two sides have different interpretations.

For example, Guo Huan believes more and more in He Xi's words. After all, although He Xi is serious and unsympathetic, it is thunder and rain. It seems to be a very serious formality. This is clearly the treatment of one's own people.

If He Xi knew Guo Huan's evaluation, I don't know if he would be blown up.

However, He Xi is indeed lacking in some professional skills.

And Guo Huan is also a leader on the road of corrupt officials. It can be long and short with Heshen. And it's a different route. Heshen's corruption is tacitly sanctioned from above. And Guo Huan is not, it is he who forms a gang and fools up and down.

It can be said that in terms of deception and concealment, I dare not say that there is no other in the world. But it is very easy for He Xi to not figure out the roots.

At this moment, in He Xi's room, countless account books were opened. A pile of waste paper was thrown all over the ground, and He Xi's eyes were red and bloodshot. He hadn't slept well in days. On the one hand, I feel sleepy to death, and my whole thinking is slow. It's as if the brains are frozen. There is no idea of anything. On the other hand, he couldn't sleep anyway. It's like a nail in the brain. It is stimulating He Xi all the time. He knew that Guo Huan had done something wrong, and all he saw was an illusion. But he didn't find a way to break the illusion in front of him.

Like a trapped beast.

Xu Bao'er brought breakfast to He Xi, and when she saw He Xi like this, she couldn't help but say, "Lord He, you can't do this." The bones of the body can't hold on. ”

He Xi said dullly: "I know, you have nothing to do." ”

Xu Bao'er hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, it's useless for you to do this. The slave maid thought that Hangzhou City was Guo Huan's ground, and Guo Huan had already prepared. Naturally, nothing can be found. But Zhejiang is so big, Guo Huan can't do it, and he will definitely not be able to do it, making all places like Hangzhou. ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you say?" ”

Xu Bao'er said: "My lord, officialdom has never deceived the superiors and did not hide it. If you really want to know something, working hard in the city of Hangzhou is half the effort. ”

The corners of He Xi's mouth hooked slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said, "You're right, I'm stunned." Guo Huan can make the city of Hangzhou airtight, and it is impossible to make the whole of Zhejiang seamless. It's really true. What is false is what is fake. ”

Not for anything else. One reason for this alone is cost.

The reason why Hangzhou can't find out anything is either Guo Huan, who is really a capable official in the world, and the particles are returned to the warehouse. Not a penny. Either it is to move and move and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, then the more invulnerable Hangzhou is, the more it shows one thing. There are many holes in other places.

And as Xu Baoer said.

The bigger the movement, the more it will be deceitful. After all, it doesn't matter if you move the warehouse and transfer the grain. All require a lot of manpower. Let these people involved in transportation not know the inside story. It's also impossible. It's like an employee of Foxconn who changed his name and surname, and the leaders above don't know, but the people below are clear.

For a while, He Xi seemed to see the sun through the clouds, and the whole person was in good spirits.

He Xi waved his hand and said, "Xu Bao'er, take the breakfast away." ”

Xu Bao'er said, "My lord, can't you stop eating?" ”

He Xi said: "It's not that I don't eat, but I want to sleep first." ”

He Xi's heart knotted and he suddenly felt sleepy. Nor do I eat. Then he lay down on the bed and slept.

Hangzhou wharf.

He Xi smiled and said, "Master Guo, today you and I say goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other, but there are some knots in my heart that I want to talk about." Before leaving, someone anonymously wrote a book, saying that Master Guo was greedy and blasphemous, which is why I was so nitpicking. However, real gold is not afraid of fire. It's also considered that you don't know each other if you don't fight. In the past few days in Hangzhou, I have seen the talent of Lord Guo, which is unparalleled in the world. When I go back, I will recommend Master Guo to the prince. Please also wait for the good news. ”

People always learn to grow in the face of difficulties.

The same is true of He Xi, in front of Guo Huan's impeccable disguise. He Xi encountered all kinds of walls, which made him grow a lot. From the beginning of the excitement, he was emotional, to being able to play on the spot, and he was untrustworthy, and now, no matter what he thinks about Guo Huan himself, he can't say anything, like sitting in a spring breeze.

Since He Xi knew that Hangzhou couldn't find out. Naturally, I want to leave Hangzhou. But leaving Hangzhou also requires a reasonable statement.

He Xi deeply regretted his reckless move when he just came to Hangzhou. So he chose to leave Hangzhou by returning to Beijing.

On the one hand, it is natural to leave Hangzhou justifiably. On the other hand, let Guo Huan relax his vigilance. In order to achieve such a goal, He Xi naturally fed Guo Huan some sweet words.

Guo Huan still maintains the most basic vigilance, but now he is becoming more and more relaxed. For He Xi's words, he only believed half of them from the beginning. Now, I have believed it seven or eight times. Guo Huan said: "Why did Secretary He say this? Secretary He's strict review is also good to me. Actually, I'm not afraid of strict inspections from the top. I'm afraid that Shangfeng will let it go easily, otherwise I, Guo Huan, am talented, how can I reveal it. Please rest assured, Secretary He, I will be at the call of the imperial court at any time. Serving the imperial court, he did his best and died. ”

He Xi only felt a little disgusting in his heart.

He could only try to smile and not show his disgust. said, "Then don't pass it here." ”

He Xi and others boarded the ship.

Guo Huan watched He Xi leave, and it was not until he could no longer see the shadow of the sail that he breathed a sigh of relief, and moved his almost stiff face.

"Congratulations, congratulations, with the support of the prince, Brother Guo is on the rise, just around the corner." Wang Zhong said with a smile: "When you arrive in Beijing, don't forget my brother." ”

Guo Huan said: "That's nature. Still, I always felt that something was wrong. Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, you send a few people to follow, and wait for He Xi to come back after leaving the Zhejiang territory. ”

Wang Zhong didn't think so in his heart, but he felt that Guo Huan's ascension was imminent, and he couldn't make him unhappy for such a trivial matter. Immediately nodded in agreement. With a few words, a ship followed. Fortunately, the canal is not wide, and in addition, He Xi has many ships, which almost blocks the entire channel, and a large number of ships are following behind. Tracking is easy.

He Xi's hand was passed to Mao Xiang here. It also surprised Mao Xiang, but he knew the inside story, and with a slight turn of his mind, he understood He Xi's intentions.

Mao Xiang secretly said in his heart: "He Xi is young after all, I don't know what the consequences of this incident are." ”

The consequences are very simple, He Xi broke the unspoken rules.

He Xi, as a messenger, came down to investigate. Anything. But this kind of Akari said to go back to Beijing and kill a backhand back to the horse gun. The mistrust contained in it is simply obvious. Officialdom has the rules of officialdom. You check it face to face, find out, what to do, do it, no one will say anything. But one thing in front of you, one thing behind you, from the very beginning, will put people to death. It's too mean and unkind. This will cause the rabbit to die and the official will be sad. He Xi's approach is that there is no room for any room at all. In the officialdom in the future, I am afraid that it will be an outlier.

will be excluded everywhere.

However, He Xi's cooking also reminded Mao Xiang of a person, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang.

also does not take the unspoken rules of officialdom into account, which is Zhu Yuanzhang. For example, an empty seal case. Speaking of the empty seal case, in essence, it is the unspoken rule of officialdom. Because of rumors on the way. If the local accounts do not match the accounts of the household department, they will have to be revised all the way. So in order to save trouble, the officials pre-made blank paper, which was already stamped with a large seal. If you need to make changes, just write on it.

It is a lie to say that there is no corruption in it. But it is not true to say that everyone involved is corrupt. Fang Xiaoru's father, Fang Keqin, was a well-known Qing official, but he was also implicated in the empty seal case.

The biggest problem here is that officials don't think there's anything wrong with the unspoken rules. These are all ancient rules and practices. And Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that it has always been right?

"It's really not a family, not a family." Mao Xiang said secretly in his heart.

However, he immediately got up and ordered: "Except for the original hidden pile in Hangzhou." They all left Hangzhou with me. Go to Jiaxing. ”

Mao Xiang knew very well who Guo Huan was.

It is true that Guo Huan cannot make the whole of Zhejiang seamless, but during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang had zero tolerance for corruption, and no one in the world knew about it, and Guo Huan dared to commit crimes against the wind. Where it is bold, it is not only to deceive the superiors and subordinates.

Yes. Leaving Hangzhou may find out something. But if you leave Hangzhou, you can avoid Guo Huan's eyeliner?

But it's wishful thinking.

If Guo Huan knew, He Xi would have done this. What will be done?

Mao Xiang is very clear.

Guo Huan may not dare to let He Xi fall into the water and get sick. And so on to be killed.

Almost at the time of Mao Xiang's action. Guo Huan's eyeliner has been reported.

That night, Guo Huan had already fallen asleep, and was suddenly woken up, he didn't have time to get dressed, he was dressed in white, his hair was scattered, and he was as hideous as a beast. Calmly and calmly before, he completely tore it off, grabbed the placket of the messenger's clothes, and said sharply: "What did you say? Say it again. ”

The messenger stammered, "Lord He got off the boat with seven or eight people at the Jiaxing dock. And the ship continued to go north under the honor guard of Lord He. ”

Guo Huan threw the messenger aside. Snorted coldly and said, "It's a good one." I'm underestimating you. But you're underestimating me, too. ”

At this moment, the picture is poor. Originally, all kinds of words before He Xi may not be without flaws. It's just that Guo Huan prefers to believe that he is about to be promoted to the Ministry of Households. Now that Guo Huan thinks about it, where does he not know what is going on?

Guo Huan took a deep breath, he knew very well what he had done, and what would happen to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I can't let He Xi return to Beijing alive." Guo Huan thought coldly.

He knew that even if He Xi died here, he might not be able to get out. But there is always hope in case, even if you can't get out, you can let the enemy be buried with you.
