"Mr. Yingbo, I didn't expect you to come here in person this time." In the Taiyuan Yamen Office, Chen Mo looked at Zhong Fu in front of him and said with a smile: "I will stay a few days longer this time."

"Bo Dao!" Zhong Fu smiled bitterly and said, "You should know why I'm here."

"I really don't know." Chen Mo shook his head: "Now that the emperor is in power, this year's taxes from Bingzhou and Hedong will be paid truthfully. Mr. Yingbo does not need to worry."

"It's not about this." Zhong Fu shook his head and said, "What Zishi did this time is indeed excessive, but Bo Dao shouldn't threaten his family!"

"Mr. Yingbo, according to Situ Gongzhi's behavior, as long as you are guilty, regardless of your origin, even if you are a great scholar in the world, there is no exception, right?" Chen Mo looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The crimes committed by members of the Wang family I have personally verified all the crimes, and no one has been wronged. I have all the witnesses and physical evidence here, Mr. Yingbo, do you want to see it? "

"No need." Zhong Fu sighed and said to Chen Mo: "What Master Zi did was indeed inappropriate, but the imperial court hopes that Bo Dao can hand over his family members to me and send them to Chang'an for investigation and punishment by the imperial court."

"Isn't it against the rules?" Chen Mo said with a smile: "Mr. Yingbo, I dare to ask, are you here to speak on behalf of the court as Taichang? Or are you here as a senior scholar?"

"What's the difference?" Zhong Fu looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.

"It's very big." Chen Mo said solemnly: "If you come as Taichang, you are an envoy of the imperial court. According to the rules, if you come as Taichang, I should prepare a guard of honor to welcome you. But if you come as a senior scholar, "Come on, Mo is the last student in the school. According to seniority, you are the same generation as my father-in-law. If you are higher in terms of seniority, Mo should be the disciple."

Zhong Fu smiled bitterly. He was also a man from the officialdom. How could he not understand what Chen Mo meant? If you were to talk about this matter as an envoy of the imperial court, then what you didn't say was that Wang Yun would have convicted someone with just one sentence. It's unfair. I have so much evidence in my hands now. Even if I wipe out the Wang family, it's okay. If you come as a senior scholar and are my father-in-law's friend, firstly, you can't bully me, a junior. Secondly, you Don't be biased towards Wang Yun.

It seems that he didn't say anything, but he made his attitude clear. It depends on how Zhongfu chooses.

After a long time, Zhong Fu shook his head and sighed: "If I can't defeat you, I will be shameless and be an elder of Bo Dao for once."

Chen Mo nodded, said nothing, and waited for the next sentence.

"Zi Shi has indeed done a great job in the matter of Duke Bo. Not only Bo Dao is dissatisfied, but also the civil, military and military officials in Guanzhong are dissatisfied. But now that Zi Shi controls the government, and now the government is clearing away Dong Zhuo's remnant party, Zi Shi I have tried to persuade him to death, but I have failed to convince him." Zhong Fu sighed and said to Chen Mo: "This time Bo Dao arrested Zi Shi's family, which really made Zi Shi at a loss. That's why I was told. Come and deal with it.”

"It is actually not difficult to solve this matter. As long as Situ is willing to release his father-in-law, the crimes committed by the Wang family can actually be big or small. I can hand them over to the court and guarantee that the Wang family's property will be preserved silently as long as Wang Yun is around. He will never move at all." Chen Mo looked at Zhong Fu and said solemnly.

Even if this matter is exposed and Chen Mo doesn't mention it, Wang Yun will probably not leave his family members in Taiyuan anymore, just like Chen Mo will never let Cai Yong stay in Chang'an.

However, Chen Mo thought more deeply. With Wang Yun's current behavior, there might be a big chaos in Chang'an, and his father-in-law would naturally not be able to stay in Chang'an.

"I will tell Master about this and try to convince him." Zhong Fu nodded. Chen Mo's attitude was actually very good and he didn't ask for too much. Cai Yong didn't say anything to Chen Mo. How could they want something to happen to Cai Yong? This time Chen Mo took the initiative, and he had the entire Wang family in his hands. Unless Wang Yun was crazy, there was no way he would not agree.

"There is one more thing. I would like to ask Mr. Yingbo to pass the message on my behalf." After finishing the business talk, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Chen Mo looked at Zhong Fu and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhong Fu looked at Chen Mo curiously.

"There is a general under my command who is the son of Yanmen guard Ren Fa. Ren Fa has passed away now. He and his sister have offended Situ for some reason. Now he is a general under my command. I want to ask for a favor and send his sister to Situ. My father-in-law will be sent back together," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Is this happening?" Zhong Fu frowned. What he did was a bit unethical. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Bo Dao. I will inform Master about this."

"Mr. Lao Yingbo is here." Chen Mo said with a smile: "It's getting late today. I have ordered someone to set up a small banquet to have a few drinks with Mr."

"Don't drink too much, we have to travel tomorrow." Zhong Fu smiled and nodded.

After the business talk was over, the next step was for Chen Mo to chat with Zhong Fu about some interesting things. Both of them were considered to be very knowledgeable people, so they didn't have to worry about running out of topics.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo personally took the men and horses to deliver the seed whisk outside the city.

"Bo Dao will stay, and I will try my best to persuade Master Bo to return it as soon as possible." Zhong Fu smiled at Chen Mo.

"Actually, I should have kept you for a few more days, but for this matter... I don't want my father-in-law to suffer more jail time." Chen Mo smiled at Zhong Fu.

"I will have a drink with Bo Dao next time." Zhong Fu got on his horse and smiled at Chen Mo.

"Mo will wait here quietly." Chen Mo saluted Zhong Fu and smiled.

Zhong Fu returned the favor on the horse's back, and then left with the men and horses.

"Lord, shall we continue to stay in Taiyuan?" Dian Wei asked as he watched the convoy go away and looked at Chen Mo.

"The matter has been settled, what are you doing here?" Chen Mo shook his head: "Let people bring everyone from the Wang family to Anyi and wait for Wang Yun's reply."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Dian Wei agreed, turned around and left.

The Wang family is in trouble, and Yang Ping no longer needs to stay here. Chen Mo asked Guo Yao to replace Yang Ping as the magistrate of Taiyuan County. After a while, Chen Mo planned to let Guo Yao replace Gao Shun as the prefect of Yunzhong. Guo Yao's period Chen Mo is quite satisfied with the ability that time has shown. He is both civil and military, and has a relatively strong personality. Hu and Han people live together in Yunzhong, so he needs such an all-rounder with both civil and military skills to guard him. However, Guo Yao's qualifications are still a bit lacking, so he will first take the position of Taiyuan County Magistrate. for a period of time, and then take office in the cloud.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo led his men and horses to escort the entire Wang family to Anyi.

At the same time, Hongnong, Tongguan.

With the news of Dong Zhuo's death, some of Dong Zhuo's old men, whether Zhang Ji or Yang Ding, are feeling panic and don't know what to do next.

In the Tongguan Government Office, Yang Ding looked at the 'old friend' in front of him with confusion. Among the people he knew, the only old friend of his age was probably Chen Mo.

"I am Tang Yuan, named Dingyuan. I am from Qingzhou and have met the general." Tang Yuan smiled slightly and cupped his hands towards Yang Ding.

"Qingzhou people?" Yang Ding was even more confused.

"Now I am the chief clerk under Chen Mo, the governor of Bingzhou." Tang Yuan said with a smile.

"It turns out to be General Chen." Yang Ding nodded when he heard this, and sighed: "We guarded Yique Pass with Lou Hou for only a year, but now that I remember it, it seems like a long time has passed."

"My lord also talks about generals from time to time." Tang Yuan said with a smile.

"Sit down, sit down!" Yang Ding pointed to the seat at the bottom and said to Tang Yuan: "Now it's time to call Shijun Chen. Yang has been on the battlefield for half his life and rarely obeys others, but even though Shijun Chen is young, he has Yang really admires his ability.”

After the two of them were polite for a while, Yang Ding smiled and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Chen has ordered you to do here?"

"It's not an order." Tang Yuan said quickly: "It's just that now the court has changed, Dong Gong was killed by a traitor, and the lord is quite dissatisfied. Wang Yun is the best at conspiracy, but he has no tolerance for others. The general is the old subordinate of the Grand Master. The lord is worried that the general will be persecuted, so he ordered me to come."

"Your Majesty is really a man of loyalty." Yang Ding was moved, and then sighed: "To be honest, it's not just me, but many old friends from the past have written to me asking for a way out, but I still have some skills on the battlefield. This kind of thing, How do I know what Wang Yun’s attitude is? Besides, the Grand Master treated me well in the past and asked me to be loyal to Wang Yun, but I feel... sigh~"

"I wonder what the general thinks of my lord?" Tang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Although you are young, you are very talented and good at using people. If you are to take control of the court, I, Yang Ding, will be the first to be convinced." Yang Ding was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of Tang Yuan's words. , as said before, Yang Ding has no direction now. Now that Chen Mo sent someone to tell him, Yang Ding was naturally moved.

"The general and my lord have worked together, so he should know who my lord is. This time, my lord was dissatisfied with Wang Yun's assassination of the grand master and wanted to compete with him. However, the people in Bingzhou were thin and unable to resist, so he wanted to seize Hong. Nongjun thought that if he had the help of the general to attack the base of Chang'an, it would be even more powerful. I wonder what the general's intention is?" Tang Yuan looked at Yang Ding and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty thinks so highly of me, Yang Ding is not ignorant of the general situation. I am naturally willing to support your Majesty, but..." After Yang Ding said this, he paused and looked at Tang Yuandao: "I don't know how your Majesty wants to arrange it. Yang?"

"Now my lord is only the right general, and there are not many people who can be awarded the title. However, my lord admires General Yang's ability. He can temporarily make the general the captain of the cavalry. When my lord succeeds, he will be rewarded. " Tang Yuan saw Yang Ding's move and smiled.

After Yang Ding thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Please tell Mr. Dingyuan that Yang Ding is willing to offer Tongguan."

Yang Ding's current position is also that of Cavalry Commander, and his authority is limited to Tongguan. However, it was granted by Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo does not die, it will be difficult for Yang Ding to be promoted within three to five years. Although he is still Cavalry Commander after following Chen Mo, Lieutenant, but Firstly, the two of them had fought side by side, and secondly, Chen Mo was just the governor of Bingzhou. If he could capture Hongnong and invade Chang'an, he, as the first person in the Xiliang army to surrender, would not be able to do so given Chen Mo's character. Be patient with yourself.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Ding feels that Chen Mo is a person who can achieve things, and he will not lose money by following Chen Mo.

"Thank you for your trust, General." Tang Yuan stood up and said with a smile.
