I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Everyone thought that Guangzhou did not move because Cheng Jingwei might be squeezed out or suppressed after he got there, and he didn't find a good time to make a move.

Only Jiaozhou knows from top to bottom that Cheng Jingwei has quietly uprooted two big clans, really uprooted, and one of the two big clans controls the local salt industry, and the other controls copper mines and iron. mine.

Yes, the mining-related industries in Guangzhou belong to individuals, which is outrageous!Cheng Jingwei had already made a plan before he set off. The two things of salt and iron must be in his own hands, followed by copper, and then food.

Because of the presence of Jiaozhou, even if the local grain merchants do not deal with him, he is completely worthwhile. If he has the ability, he will fight a price war. Jiaozhou is not short of food.

However, the price of grain in Guangzhou is fairly stable. Although the big family behind the grain merchants is really serious about tax evasion, it has not reached the point where Cheng Jingwei can't bear it, so he let this family go first.

When they first arrived in Guangzhou, none of those big families came to see Cheng Jingwei.

After all, Cheng Jingwei's reputation is not obvious. If Luo Shixing came over, they would have to weigh it. After all, Ling Dinghou's combat effectiveness is really strong. When he was in Guangzhou when he quelled the rebellion, none of the people he targeted ran away. , and no one would accept him if he wanted to go to Luoyang. It can be seen that this is a real dragon crossing the river.

But Cheng Jingwei... No matter how powerful he was in the war, they didn't rebel, and Cheng Jingwei had no reason to send troops.

If they didn't go to Cheng Jingwei, they wouldn't be angry, that's where they are going, he suffered a lot more wronged in his last life, so why worry, the more these people look down on him, the more things they can grasp.

Cheng Jingwei actually looks arrogant, but he is a senior pragmatist, as long as he feels the need, he doesn't care about showing weakness.

So after he entered and moved into the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou, he immediately closed the door and didn't see anyone, as if he was afraid, but in fact he took Wang Sui and the others to start checking the accounts.

The governor's mansion is not a simple mansion, but a government office, but the governor also lives here, so the ledgers and files are actually all inside.There has been no governor in Guangzhou for so long, Cheng Jingwei originally thought that the books and files here were basically destroyed, but unexpectedly they are still there.

Wang Sui was relatively clear, glanced at the account book on the table and said slowly: "These things involve several families, and these families are not all allies. They need these evidences to restrain each other. It is not good for anyone if they are all destroyed. Anyway, after the new governor arrives, if the new governor wants to seriously check the accounts, they will have time to destroy it."

Cheng Jingwei thought so, but these people probably didn't expect that the new governor of Guangzhou would not follow the usual path, and invited everyone out of the governor's mansion on the first day, not even leaving a servant, so that the They go home first.

At this moment, those families were dumbfounded. They dared to be confident because they had infiltrated the governor's mansion all over, and it was full of their people, so it was easy to manipulate it.

In the end, I didn't expect that the governor would do such a thing.

Cheng Jingwei knows a lot about these families. In his last life, he not only fought with Da Zhou, but also with the aristocratic family. Wu Zhao suppressed the aristocratic family very hard. After Cheng Jingwei became powerful, they made a judgment and found that he had a future. He arranged for some family members to join Cheng Jingwei in order to revive the family's prestige.

At that time, Cheng Jingwei needed these people, but he couldn't let these people really control the government. It was hard to imagine how difficult it was.

But it also brought him a wealth of experience. The local big families in Guangzhou are indeed powerful, but they are not as good as the aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

In particular, Wang Zhen here is also from a family, and it is the Langya Wang family, the oldest brand in the family, so he knows those things well.Cheng Jingwei's move caught the big families by surprise, but they did not wait foolishly. After discussions within the family, they all felt that the new governor's move might have been learned from the governor of Jiaozhou.

Anyway, Luo Shixing had already been demonized in the hearts of these people, and Cheng Jingwei, as Luo Shixing's number one confidant, must be the one who is close to the vermilion, the red and the ink, and the black.

Then the problem is that the gates of the Governor's Mansion are now closed, and if they want to fight back, they probably have no choice but to rebel.

But still the same sentence, when they can survive, no one will want to rebel, especially if they are in a big family, it will be more difficult to make a decision. Even if ordinary people fail, they will probably lose their lives, but What the big family pays is many years of inheritance and the life of the whole family, so don't be careless.

You can't rebel directly, and you don't know what the new governor is doing, so what should you do?

These great cleverness thought of another way - simply engage in a wave of assassinations.

The governor seems to be a bad visitor, otherwise why would you close the door and drive everyone out?None of the servants were left behind, and even the cats and dogs at home were driven out, and the dog holes were all blocked up, which is not too much!

After confirming this point, no matter whether Cheng Jingwei is capable or not, and whether they can find out anything, they can't sit still.

But they definitely don't want their own family to be the leader, after discussing and discussing, they decide how many people each family will send out.On the surface, they are advancing and retreating together, but in fact they are restraining each other, so as not to kill the new governor, but end up being taken advantage of by others.In fact, these local big families are not very united, especially the family behind the grain merchants did not participate in it from the beginning, and directly claimed that they could not get sick.

The other families hated him so much, because they were afraid in their hearts, they planned to do nothing but kill this family after killing the new governor, so that you would not fit in with the group!

It's not that they don't want to kill this family first, the main reason is that they are worried about scaring the snake, and it is a signal that they attack their own people first.

These people found rangers in the rivers and lakes. They are all good hands, and they have all been stained with blood. Some of them may even have several lives in their hands. Dare to do it.

After gathering these people, they were worried that the night would be full of dreams, so they sent these people to attack the governor's mansion at night, and gave them different prices. If the governor of Guangzhou died, it was one price, and if he was not dead, it was another price.

If he died, it would be one price for the others to survive, but it would be another price if all the people in the governor's mansion were wiped out.

Anyway, these people are not willing to suffer.

When Cheng Jingwei was awakened from his dream that night, he still didn't know where he was. When he heard the report outside the door that there was an assassin, he subconsciously fished around, worried that he would scare the little lynx, and wanted to appease him first. .

As a result, when he stretched out his hand, he found that the side beside him was empty. At that moment, Cheng Jingwei suddenly knew what it meant to be lost.

Under the disappointment, the big cat has an extremely irritable temper, and he got up and said directly: "Leave one or two questions, and leave nothing else."

As for the safety of other people, he didn't ask. The big families in Lingnan are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains families are very particular. It is impossible to send assassins to assassinate them until the end of the road. That is a very inferior approach and will be despised.

What's more, generally those who can be used for assassination must have high status and status, and it is not so easy to assassinate, and it is easy to break the rules of the game. In the future, everyone will have to worry about how the other party will send assassins.

However, Lingnan likes to use this simple and rude method. Cheng Jingwei has been prepared for a long time, not to mention that he has always done a good job of defending the governor's mansion. No matter how good you are, it's just a little reputation in the Jianghu. How does it compare with the regular army?

These rangers had already been noticed when they climbed the wall, but they didn't make any noise, they just scattered and concealed, and when everyone came in, they directly waited on them with crossbows. The aim was not bad in the dim light. Many people were shot directly in the throat and fell to the ground without even making a sound.

If Xiaowei Lin hadn't been thinking about their envoy's order not to kill everyone, but to leave one or two for questioning, it is estimated that this wave of rangers would have been wiped out immediately.

These rangers are not people with any backbone, and they are not even as strict as the soldiers of the Lao tribe before. If you drag them to the dungeon, you don't need to be tortured. Show them the torture equipment, and they are persuaded on the spot, and directly confessed behind the scenes Mastermind.

Cheng Jingwei looked at the confession and was silent for a long time, then looked up at Wang Su, somewhat dumbfounded and said: "Chang Shi, it seems that we have done useless work."

Wang Sui was also a little helpless. These days, he led people to work overtime to check the accounts. I have to say that these people in Guangzhou are pretty good at doing accounts.

They finally found out some problems. Cheng Jingwei originally planned to use these criminal evidences to force these people to take risks. Whether it was treason or assassination, the other party had to do it first.

In the end, I didn't expect these people to be so timid, Cheng Jingwei didn't even make a move, these people had already made a move.

Of course, it may also be said that they are too courageous, to the point of being lawless, and the new governor just does things that don't make them happy, making them feel a sense of crisis, and these people will shout and kill.

Cheng Jingwei threw the problematic account book aside and said directly: "Forget it, we will reach the same goal by different routes, gentlemen can take a good rest for two days, and leave the rest to Xuanyi."

Wang Sui, Liu Qixian and Yuan Zhihong looked at each other. The three of them knew that these houses were over, so they stretched themselves and decided to go back and have a good sleep.

Cheng Jingwei did not continue to stay up all night, and ordered Lieutenant Lin to lead the troops directly to bring these family members overnight, and then he went back to the room.

It’s just that after returning to the room, he also couldn’t fall asleep. For the first time in two lives, he knew what it was like to be alone. What is the little lynx doing? Did it sleep well? Did it kick the quilt?

Meanwhile, Luo Shixing in Jiaozhou was laying on the bed thinking about what Cheng Damao was doing recently, why there was no movement at all?

He didn't believe that Cheng Jingwei would be suppressed by the locals, but it didn't seem normal to be so quiet, could it be that he was holding himself back?

In fact, Cheng Jingwei was quite overwhelmed, and the next day, the corpses of those assassins were hung on both sides of the city wall.
