Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhao Jiuchou and said: "Based on Zhao Feixuan's current status as the fifth-rank governor of Anzhou, he definitely has the right to write a memorial to the court or enter Chang'an to present to His Majesty Li Er. As long as Ruzhou, Anzhou Waiting for the local affairs to be reported according to the facts, Dai Mingde, Zhang Shiyuan can still jump up? Isn't this also able to take back the disaster relief money from corrupt officials and use it for disaster relief and relief of victims? Confused, indeed a little confused..."

"No, my lord, Zhao Feixuan is not confused, but has his own unspeakable secrets."

Zhao Jiuchou was like a ghost today, desperately trying to excuse and clarify for Zhao Feixuan.

Guo Ye naturally knew that Zhao Jiuchou's loyal ministers would never target indiscriminately. Since he dared to say that, he must have his own reasons.

Immediately, he asked: "What are his unspeakable secrets and difficulties? And what kind of difficulties can make him make false claims with corrupt officials such as Dai Mingde on the surface, and secretly engage in the murder of officials and robbery of Meng Lang?"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Could it be, could it be that Zhao Feixuan held a handle or braid in Dai Mingde's hands again? And this handle forced him to join forces with De Mingde. The uneasiness of conscience and the moral Condemnation, and let him secretly prefer to take huge risks, cooperate with gangsters, and do things that do not violate his conscience?"

Zhao Jiuchou nodded heavily, and sighed: "My lord, your guess is right and wrong, but even if you miss it, it's not far away!"

suddenly,

Zhao Jiuchou's complexion changed drastically, and a fierce aura appeared between his brows. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. He scolded: "My lord, you don't know. Dai Mingde, Zhang Shiyuan and others are really not human! They are the ancestors of eighteen generations. Calling them beasts is not enough to describe their beast behavior!"

"Huh? Jiu Chou, don't get excited, speak slowly, I want to hear, what the hell does Dai Mingde know, that can make Zhao Feixuan so afraid? This fucking is trying to force a good person to a dead end!"

Guo Ye patted Zhao Jiuchou's shoulder that was squirming because of his extreme anger, calming his excitement, and asked him to continue talking.

Chapter 363 Zhao Feixuan's Weakness

Zhao Jiuchou adjusted his mood and said slowly: "Zhao Feixuan Zhao Inspector's family not only has a wife and a daughter, but also a [-]-year-old widowed mother. No matter where Zhao Inspector is an official, he will bring his mother to him. It can be said to be extremely filial to serve him. At the beginning of this year, Governor Zhao went to serve as governor of Anzhou, not only brought his family, wife and daughter, but also brought his mother to Anzhou."

Regarding Zhao Jiuchou's mention of Zhao Feixuan's filial piety, he more or less heard some gossip from the old scholar in the post house.

Rumor has it that the governor of Zhao was raised by his mother alone since he was a child. When the mother and son depended on each other, their lives were quite difficult.This side is for Zhao Feixuan to study, and there is also a need to maintain the family's livelihood. Guo Ye can imagine the hardships of Zhao's mother in those years.

Luckily, Zhao Feixuan himself is strong enough, and the series of encounters and achievements did not disappoint his mother.

The reason why he kept his old mother by his side was nothing more than thinking about his mother's hardships in those years, thinking about always feeding back the widow mother who gave birth to him, raised him and nurtured him.

As the saying goes, filial sons come from poor families since ancient times.Guo Ye could imagine the deep mother-child relationship between Zhao Feixuan and Mrs. Zhao.

but,

Guo Ye didn't understand why Zhao Jiuchou introduced Zhao Feixuan's family background properly.

Could it be...

Immediately, he was shocked and asked: "You mean, Dai Mingde, Zhang Shiyuan and others took control of Zhao Feixuan's weakness? They are both imperial court officials, and they actually did such an outrageous thing?"

Zhao Jiuchou sneered: "They can steal 150 million disaster relief money for their own self-interest, regardless of the life and death of nearly a million victims in the three states. They would rather let the corpses of the three states litter the fields and starve to death, and take this life-saving money in In the bag, to fulfill their selfish desires. Is there anything they can't do?"

boom!

Zhao Jiuchou swung a heavy fist, slammed it hard on the table, and roared: "They knew that their old mother was the fatal point of Governor Zhao. Inspector Zhao and her are not allowed to meet each other. The reason is to force Inspector Zhao to join forces with them, in order to threaten Inspector Zhao to cooperate with them and to covet the disaster relief money. Damn..."

Imprison Zhao's mother and force Zhao Feixuan to submit.

It turns out that the real source is here!

In an instant, Guo Ye understood everything, and his chest was filled with anger, and he cursed angrily: "I'm so stupid, Dai Mingde, Zhang Shiyuan, these two bloody bastards!"

After scolding, he thought of Zhao Jiuchou's obedience to Dai Mingde and others, secretly colluding with gangsters, killing officials and stealing money, and helping the victims of disasters.

After thinking about it, he sighed: "Jiu Chou, this Governor Zhao is really amazing!"

Zhao Jiuchou nodded in sympathy and replied, "Yes, Governor Zhao is the real good official. My old Zhao Pingsheng doesn't think much of poor literati, but Governor Zhao is an exception. He is not only a good official, but also a good man."

"That's right, a good official, a good man, and a filial son!"

At this moment, Guo Ye had nothing but admiration for Zhao Feixuan in his heart.

After praise, Guo Ye said to Zhao Jiuchou in a deep tone: "Jiuchou, we must help Governor Zhao, and we can't let him and Gu San and the others do the killing of officials and stealing money, even if officials like Dai Mingde and Zhang Shiyuan deserve death You can't die at the hands of Zhao Feixuan and Gu San. Otherwise, they will definitely provoke the wrath of the imperial court if they act so recklessly. A road of no return. The imperial court has its own laws, do you understand?"

Although Zhao Jiuchou agreed in his heart with Zhao Feixuan and Gu San and others' happy grievances, and ended Dai Mingde's idiots with one blow, his reason told him that what Guo Ye said was right, and Governor Zhao took a path that ran counter to the court's laws.

Then he asked: "My lord, how can I help you? Do you mean that you want to rescue Mrs. Zhao, so that Mr. Zhao will be free from constraints and worries, and then..."

Guo Ye nodded and replied, "That's right, that's basically what it means. As for the specific plan, I still need to think it over."

After saying that, he looked at the sky outside the window, it was a bit twilight, and it was time to finish eating, and then he said: "Let's do this first, let's go, let's order a few side dishes first, and we'll discuss the matter after we're full. Specific plans."

Zhao Jiuchou hummed, followed behind Guo Ye, and left the room...

At dusk, at dinner time, in the residence of the governor of Ruzhou, Dai Mingde and the governor of Zhengzhou have never been separated since the feast of cleansing the dust.

After returning from the banquet, Dai Mingde and Zhang Shiyuan chatted all afternoon, and the topics always revolved around topics such as the visit of the imperial envoy Guo Ye, the corrupt ink, and the disaster relief money secretly hoarded in Ruzhou.

After Dai Mingde invited Zhang Shiyuan to have dinner in the mansion, the two returned to their study with shoulder to shoulder, and continued to discuss privately.

After the servants in the mansion finished serving the tea soup, Dai Mingde sent them out, and closed the doors and windows with his own hands, covering the entire study in darkness.

Lighting a candlestick, Dai Mingde looked at Zhang Shiyuan's face through the flickering candlelight, and looked worried.

He couldn't help but comfort and said: "Inspector Zhang, don't worry too much. According to my official opinion, this Guo surname is young enough to become a supervisory censor. He must have just got a budding shade and has no great ability. And you and I didn't listen It was rumored that Chang'an had doubts about the distribution of the relief money, didn't you?"

As soon as Zhang Shiyuan changed his rough and heroic look at the reception banquet before, his brows were sulky, he laughed dryly, shook his head and said: "Lord Dai, I am not worried about the young man surnamed Guo, he is nothing to be afraid of. What I am worried about is Zhao Feixuan and Zhao Inspector, at today's welcome banquet, his attitude is a bit abnormal."

"Hahaha." Hearing what Zhang Shiyuan said, Dai Mingde laughed out loud, and said disdainfully, "Zhao Feixuan? Mr. Zhang, there is no need to worry. Could it be that you forgot what we are holding? His wife and daughter, His old mother is in our hands, based on what you and I know about Zhao Feixuan, what big waves can he make?"

As he said, he put the candlestick in his hand on the table, patted Zhang Shiyuan on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as we send away this censor surnamed Guo, we will divide up the huge amount of money and make the account books No leaks, no one can see the clues. As for the dead, what does it have to do with you and me? How can there be disasters that survive? With this money, what does it matter if you and I don’t become the governor of this state?"

Relieved by Dai Mingde for a while, Zhang Shiyuan calmed down a little, nodded and agreed: "That's right, in the officialdom of Ruzhou, Zhengzhou, and Anzhou, which official doesn't want a piece of the pie? Which official has a clean butt? It's already rotten! As long as we keep this matter under wraps, nothing will happen. Mr. Dai, tell me, Zhao Feixuan's mother, wife and daughter, can you take good care of them? Don't be found and rescued. ah!"

Dai Mingde patted his chest, and said confidently: "Don't worry, the hiding place of Zhao Feixuan's family, hehe, no one can think of it. After the matter is done, we will take them, and even Zhao Feixuan himself..."

As he said that, Dai Mingde made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said in a decisive tone: "Then you can sit back and relax even more, ha, ha, ha... When the time comes, send a memorial to the court, cause a disaster, how can there be no one who is not dead? Inspector Zhao Being overworked and being loyal to the imperial court can be regarded as seeking benevolence, isn't it?"

Zhang Shiyuan listened to Dai Mingde's swearing, and his heart was determined. The worry expression on his face just faded away, and he immediately smiled, raised his thumb and praised Dai Mingde: "Master Dai, Mr. Dai, tall, tall~ ~"

Zhang Shiyuan praised repeatedly with joy on his face, Dai Mingde nodded his head calmly, then slowly turned around, with his back to Zhang Shiyuan.

At this time, Dai Mingde put his hands behind his back, looked at the flickering candlestick on the table without blinking his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "150 million crowns, even if you search for it in your life, you can't accumulate so much. By then , Zhao Feixuan can be loyal to the court, why can't you Zhang Shiyuan be for the court, for the Holy One..."

If Zhang Shiyuan could walk up to Dai Mingde at this time and see Dai Mingde's expression clearly by candlelight, he would definitely be shocked.

Because Dai Mingde, who is usually accompanied by a smiling face all the time, at this moment, turned out to be full of——

ferocious!

Hostility!

Chapter 364

During the dinner break, Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchou whispered a few words, expressing the plan in their hearts at first.
