Being able to secure the position of Lushi Joining Army as the leader among all participating armies in Guizhou, Lu Ze naturally has his own merits.

When he reaches this position, the relationship with the Zhizhou has almost become a cooperative attitude. Although the Zhizhou has more advantages because of his higher position, it is impossible for an official like Lu Ze to become a Zhizhou

personal accessories.

This gives people like him more choices.

There is no psychological pressure when starting a job.

On the contrary, officials with lower status, because they exist dependent on those in high positions, have no right to choose at all. They can only be honored and humiliated.

So at some point, it’s the little people who are trying their best, because if they don’t fight, they will lose everything.

In fact, as far as Chu Xiang is concerned, he is not a close confidant of Zhizhou Ma Liang. On the contrary, because of his relationship with Wang Wenzheng, the commander of the Tiannan Army, he also has considerable influence on the underworld in Qianzhou. In Qianzhou,

It has always been a separate system.

Xiao Cheng chose such a person to take action. Firstly, it was because this person had so many petty arguments that he could catch them without any effort. Secondly, of course, it was also because this person was not Zhizhou Ma Liang's confidant. To touch him,

He would not let Zhizhou Ma Liang jump, and would even let Ma Liang help him push him.

If Zhizhou Ma Liang knew that this was just an appetizer and the real dish hadn't been served yet, he would probably regret it and vomit blood.

But in this world, there is no medicine for regret.

Dealing with Chu Xiang was Xiao Cheng's first battle to establish his power in Qianzhou, that is, he used this battle to establish his power in Qianzhou.

Originally, Xiao Cheng's stronghold was not like this. He came to a new place and faced a new situation. Xiao Cheng, who was unfamiliar with the place where he was born, was originally prepared to find out the situation first and wait for the complete control of his trusted followers in Dushan and other places.

Once you have established your footing and have support, you can discuss other matters.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Cheng was initially planning to pretend to be a grandson.

But plans can never keep up with changes.

Even Xiao Cheng didn't expect that Sizhou Tian would actually jump out on his own.

Tian Chou, the eldest son of the Tian family, is really a very important person. Thinking that many of his arrangements in the northwest were actually investigated by this Tian Chou, Xiao Cheng felt very worried.

Of course, now that the Xiao family has established its power north of Hengshan, Xiao Cheng doesn't have much to worry about.

After a long conversation with Tian Chou all night, the two parties had a temporary intention to form an alliance.

To put it bluntly, after a family like the Tian family has a figure like Tian Chou, they always think about problems in the long term. This is why they can last for thousands of years. They always feel many things more sensitively than the imperial court.

Things change and prepare for them in advance.

Just like Xiao Cheng has never thought about rebellion, the Sizhou Tian family has no such thoughts, but this does not prevent them from trying to make themselves stronger and speak louder.

The Sizhou Tian family has lasted for thousands of years and gone through countless dynasties. It does not rely on heirlooms of poetry and etiquette or moral models. The blood here is no less bloody than on the battlefield.

With the support of the Sizhou Tian family and the Bozhou Yang family, Xiao Cheng immediately changed his plan and went straight into action.

Didn’t Zhizhou Ma Liang want to give himself a warning?

Came just in time!

Now I have the temporary power of a magistrate. If I don't use it now, when will I wait?

Well, when the Zhizhou came back, Qianzhou was no longer the Qianzhou of the Zhizhou, but the Qianzhou of the signing.

Chu Xiang collapsed.

What caused his mental collapse was not his uncountable crimes, but Wang Wenzheng, whom he relied on, who gave up on him. Those people on the road can help him when he is in auspiciousness and majesty, allowing him to control the wind and rain.

, but what really makes people in the officialdom shy away from him is because Wang Wenzheng is his eight-year-old acquaintance, and it is because of the military power in Wang Wenzheng's hands.

Over the years, Chu Xiang had tried his best to maintain his friendship with Wang Wenzheng, and the money he sent out every year was like splashing water.

Wang Wenzheng was able to firmly control the Tiannan Army and run it like a monolith, which required a lot of money.

Wang Wenzheng no longer wanted him, and Chu Xiang knew that he was completely finished.

After Xiao Cheng made the decision not to hold his family members accountable, this guy poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said whatever he wanted!

When Xiao Cheng showed up at the court for signing the verdict with Chu Xiang's confession, Lu Ze, a military official in Qianzhou, was already waiting outside the court for an hour.

It is said that the detention room where Lu Ze and others who joined the army were held was only a few dozen steps away from the public hall where the signing was held. Lu Ze could just sit at his place and wait for Xiao Cheng's return.

But he behaved himself and stood in front of the signing hall. He leaned slightly and stood there for an hour.

This made Xiao Cheng very emotional.

Xiao Cheng actually disliked such officials.

They have no loyalty at all. In their eyes, there is only profit and advancement and retreat. When you are strong, they will be respectful in front of you and will never dare to make the slightest mistake. They will take any orders you give seriously.

Go and complete it. But when you are in decline, they will abandon you without even saying hello.

But these people are the mainstream and the most difficult in the current official system.

You may not like them, but you can't help but deal with them, you can't help but win over them, and you can't help but use them.

Zhizhou Ma Liang, who was still soaking in the hot spring, probably never dreamed that one of his most important subordinates and allies had abandoned him unceremoniously.

Standing outside the public hall, the cold wind was blowing, like cutting with a knife. Xiao Cheng looked with admiration at Lu Canjun, who was blowing the wind here, and invited him in.

inside the house.

With such a determined and self-willed city, it is no wonder that this man can sit in this position.

Li Xin burned the brazier in the public hall very brightly. As soon as he entered the door, warmth hit his face.

After Xiao Cheng sat down to work on his big case, Li Xin immediately served him steaming tea.

He did not pour a glass for Lu Ze, but Lu Ze consciously stood in front of Xiao Cheng with his head bowed.

After taking a sip of hot tea and savoring the warmth flowing through his internal organs and lungs, Xiao Cheng handed the stack of confessions in front of him to Lu Ze.

Now that someone has already surrendered, there is no point in mocking or ridiculing the other person, unless you are not prepared to accept this person's surrender and are ready to beat him into the dust.

Since you still want to use it, then naturally you have to give face to the other party.

Xiao Cheng was still joking with Li Xin that Lu Ze recovered too quickly from his illness, but now in front of Lu Ze, he didn't mention it a word, just like Lu Ze didn't tell him about his illness before.

To be an official, there are times when you not only have to have the ability to do what you want, but you also have to be forgetful.

Of course, when you need to remember many things, they will naturally pop out of the depths of your memory. This is a trait that is difficult for ordinary people to possess.

"This guy is talking nonsense!" Chu Xiang's confession was very long and contained a lot of content. Naturally, there were many things in it that related to Lu Ze, who joined the army as a recorder. "This man's crimes are difficult to write down, and he was sentenced in one fell swoop."

He took it down and grabbed it randomly in order to survive. This is a ploy to create a big case and make it easy for him to escape the blame."

"I think so too!" Xiao Cheng looked at the other party's somewhat distorted face with a smile, "So this confession cannot be taken seriously. It also said that Ma Zhizhou snatched men, dominated women, and killed people to seize property. Who are Ma Zhizhou and others?

, how can you do these destructive things?"

Lu Ze swallowed, it was difficult to answer this question.

Because he didn't know what Xiao Cheng's purpose was.

If you want to bring down Zhizhou, then these accusations are the best weapons. Because he knows very well that these things are true. In Chu Xiang's confession, in order to get hold of Zhizhou, the manager

He joined the army, but he used his authority to preserve some fatal evidence. What is even more frightening is that some parties who should be dead are still alive.

Needless to say, these things are now in the hands of the judge.

And am he clean? Chu Xiang was so bold as to keep the evidence against the governor. How could he not keep it when he joined the army as a recorder?

Xiao Cheng looked at Lu Ze for a while, only to see that the other person was sweating profusely and didn't know where to move his hands and feet before he smiled and said: "Xiao has no intention of chasing after these old events. Let him let go of the past."

!”

"There are so many signatures, your stomach can really support the boat." After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Lu Ze finally understood that this person will only hold on to these evidences now. As long as he is honest, he will not

What are the sequelae?

Now, he really wants to eat Chu Xiang's meat and drink Chu Xiang's blood. You pig, you have made these life-saving things, but in the end, you still can't save your life.

"Now Chu Xiang is in trouble, but the manager joins the army and is in charge of the prison, and the town is small, but the manpower cannot be vacant for a long time. I want this position to be filled by Tian Yilai. I will first send the manager to join the army, and then I will write the letter later.

Transporter, what do you think?"

"I'm afraid Zhizhou doesn't want to!" Lu Ze whispered.

"He will definitely be willing." Xiao Cheng laughed: "I am willing, you are willing, and everyone else is also willing. Can he not be willing?"

Lu Ze's heart trembled slightly.

"Now that Zhizhou is recuperating, there is no need to trouble his old man with some minor matters. Let's just talk about this matter and have a clear idea. Chu Xiang's case is worth digging into. It is better to let Tian Yi take office as soon as possible.

, Lu Canjun, what do you think about getting things done?"

Does Lu Ze dare to say he disagrees?

He was sure that what Xiao Cheng said now was to dig deep, and he must be digging Zhizhou's roots. But if he didn't agree, he might have to dig his own roots first, and he couldn't help digging.

of.

"Tian Yi is the son of the Tian family. He has a well-established family background. He also has a wide network of contacts. He is also well-known among the state schools. He is worthy of joining the army as a manager!"

"Quan Qian, Quan Qian!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Tian Yi took office.
