There was a bloody night in Shijiang City, but Guan Ning slept very soundly. After deciding on the specific implementation plan, he didn't take any more care.

There are 5,000 Zhenbei troops here, 5,000 elite cavalry of the Guan family, and 2,000 personal guards. There are more than 10,000 troops here, so he doesn't need to worry at all.

When the report was received, Guan Ning was still in a relationship with Xuan Ning. Calculating the time until June next year, it would be almost two years, which meant that they could sleep together.

Now Guan Ning also knows the reason. The reason for such restrictions is that the problem lies with Gan Ning.

She has practiced a special technique, and before completing it, she must ensure her virginity...

It's quick, then be restrained.

After Guan Ning got up and washed up, she came to the hall.

"Your Majesty, I want to... take the initiative to explain the problem."

Zhizhou Jiahe said with difficulty: "If I take the initiative to confess, can you really let it go?"

"Of course, what I said stands true."

Guan Ning knew that under his kind of oppression, some people would be unable to sit still.

He did not force him directly, but used a method similar to boiling a frog in warm water...

I know it's your problem, but I just don't say it and leave you alone...

It's very uncomfortable.

Jia He said in a low voice: "I came to Longzhou to take office not long ago, only two years. When I first came here, I was full of justice and determined to eliminate the banditry, but I realized that I was too naive."

"Is it because of Qiu Tiancai?"

"Yes!"

Jia He said: "Qiu Tiancai is the biggest supporter of the bandits. It is under his influence that such a situation has occurred. He is the governor in charge of military and political power, and he is also the protégé of Master Xue, so he is almost a native emperor in Longzhou.

existence."

"He excludes dissidents and favors nepotism, and uses corrupt methods to bring officials to his side to join in the evil deeds..."

Jia He started to tell.

In fact, the process is not complicated, it is just that everyone is innocent if they commit a crime.

At first, Jia He advocated suppressing bandits, but he was ostracized because of it, but he still insisted. At this time, something happened. The Bashan League bandits kidnapped his old mother to threaten him. He had no way to go on.

Got this road...

According to Jia He, situations like his are not unique.

"The one you mainly collude with is the Bashan Alliance?"

"right."

Jia He said: "In fact, the rapid rise of the Bashan League is inseparable from the help of the government. Qiu Tiancai also suppressed bandits to eliminate hostility for the Bashan League. He also sold weapons and equipment to the Bashan League..."

Typical collusion between officials and gangsters, such cases are not uncommon.

Guan Ning asked again: "Where is Wuming? Have you ever had contact with this organization?"

"No."

Jia He said: "This bandit is quite mysterious. They never do any robbery. They are quite peaceful. When there is a big disaster, they will rescue refugees...

"Then what kind of work do they mean?"

"I heard that other bands of bandits have to make offerings to them regularly..."

Guan Ning frowned and asked again: "Does this include the Bashan Alliance?"

"include."

Jia He said solemnly: "And I also heard that the three leaders of the Bashan League were expelled by Wuming, and then established the Bashan League, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

"sharp!"

Guan Ning couldn't help but sigh.

This unknown bandit was really powerful. He even suspected that it was not a bandit at all, but maybe just a cover. He would have to learn more about the details.

What we have to do now is to destroy the Bashan Alliance!

"You can tell me which officials in Longzhou have colluded with the bandits, and to what extent?"

Jia He was slightly startled. He knew that once he opened his mouth, there would be no room for maneuver. There was no other way out except relying on Guan Ning.

"I can tell you everything, but you have to ensure the safety of me and my family."

"Until the situation calms down, nothing will happen to you and your family."

Guan Ning’s guarantee is still very strong.

Jia He finally felt relieved and took out a small notebook from his arms.

"I recorded this all."

Guan Ning looked at him in surprise.

"In case of emergency, I also want to have a backup plan."

Guan Ning looked through it and found detailed records.

Jia He was the magistrate of the state and had the highest official position except Qiu Tiancai, so he also knew many things.

The collusion between officials and gangsters is simply shocking!

Guan Ning also noticed that the Longzhou nobles played a very important role in this, and they were even secretly supporting the bandits.

I have money and you have people, and then we collude together...

After probably reading it, Guan Ning said: "There are still more than ten days left for others. In order to avoid causing trouble to you, I will not ask you for anything during this period, but you will have to prove yourself after the time limit.

Already."

"I want you to become a bandit-suppressing general and make amends for your past mistakes."

"I understand."

"Back off."

"yes."

In the next few days, things seemed to have calmed down a bit. The crackdown in Shijiang City was progressing smoothly, but other places encountered obstacles. The reason was very simple. There was no direct supervision by Guan Ning...

The officials below are working against the situation, and if they want to solve it at the root, they have to change the atmosphere of the entire officialdom.

In the past few days, the situation in Longzhou was rushed back to the court at a speed of 800 miles, shocking the government and the public once again!

Although Guan Ning left to go to Beijing, his every move was watched. He did such a big thing just after he went to Longzhou, and the governor of the state killed him first and then reported it.

No, not even a hint.

Too arrogant!

This gave those people an opportunity. There were as many impeachment memorials as scraps of paper, but there was no response for the time being.

After Guan Ning went to Longzhou, there were also major changes in the court.

The chief minister Lu Taiyuan died, and no one expected that Emperor Long Jing would actually start liquidating his mentor. All the kindness he once had had seemed to have become a sin...

The Lu family fell. Immediately after the second assistant Xue Huairen asked to resign, his son Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs was dismissed. The Xue family lost power, which led to a major blow to the party.

Taking this opportunity, a large number of aristocratic officials came to power to control the government.

At the same time, the court officials began to advise that Your Majesty should appoint a prince and establish a heir apparent as soon as possible!

The political situation has been seriously affected because the princes are fighting each other for the crown prince.

But at this time, Emperor Long Jing didn't show up at all.

The situation in Beijing.

Since Guan Ning left, there has never been a morning meeting...

This makes people very uneasy.

In the deep palace compound, in an antique palace, the aroma is lingering and the smoke is lingering...

The palace is very large, and it is surrounded by various portraits. If you look closely, you can see that they are all gods from Taoist mythology, making the atmosphere mysterious and weird.

Emperor Longjing, wearing a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on a futon. He held his Taoist temples in his hands, put a fly whisk beside him, and faced a huge alchemy furnace.

It is hard to imagine that Emperor Longjing, who was so majestic in the outside world, looked like this.

This also confirms Guan Ning’s judgment that Emperor Longjing pretended to be a Buddhist but really practiced Taoism!
