Chapter 276 Distance from a distance and attack from a short distance
Chapter 276: Friendship from afar and attack from afar
Pixiu did not expect that the situation that was originally a sure victory would end up in this situation.
Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know the time when Chen Ping arrived in Lingzhou, but he knew when the government's actions changed.
"Chen Ping..."
Pi Xiu's eyes were full of hatred, filled with anger and resentment. If Chen Ping had not stayed in the capital after being awarded the title of Hui Yuan, but went south to Lingzhou, Lingzhou would have been in chaos by now, and the news would have reached the capital! p>
But now, the organization's operation in Lingzhou is a small matter. It is a big deal that he dispatched neighboring states to transport money, food and materials but failed to complete the tasks explained above.
Paying such a heavy price turned out to be nothing in the end. Even if Pixiu can accept it, can the adults in the capital accept it?
"Sir, are we leaving Lingzhou..."
"Noisy!"
Pixiu knocked the messenger to the ground with one palm, his face extremely ferocious: "Chen Ping has ruined my good deeds. No one can leave Lingzhou until he is eliminated!"
If he fails to complete the tasks assigned above, he will not end well. In addition, the quality of the organization members in Lingzhou is much inferior to that of Jianzhou and Qingzhou, and Pixiu's anger bursts out.
If I don’t live well, you won’t live well either. In short, if you don’t mess up the situation in Lingzhou, it will shock the whole world and everyone will die together!
"What are you doing standing still? You can't do anything without the cooperation of the natives?"
"Listen to me, this is a death order from the envoy in the capital. If Lingzhou is not in chaos, we will die. Now the target has become Chen Ping. Only by killing him will we have a living!"
When the end of the road was reached, Pi Xiu was so courageous that he ignored the organization's requirements and informed the pawns of his plan for the trip.
Pixiu has no choice. If he doesn't fight to the death, judging from the current situation in Lingzhou, the possibility of him completing his goal will become increasingly slim.
So he didn't care about what was there or what was not. Now Pixiu's only choice was to kill Chen Ping.
Let the youngest Huiyuan since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty die in Lingzhou!
Congxing Fucheng, the prefect’s Yamen.
Chen Ping glanced at a few pages compiled from Gong Heng's collection of letters and suppressed his excitement.
"I really didn't expect that such a small character like Gong Heng would hide such a secret."
Yang Anguo, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, marveled at this while sipping the fragrant tea. It was really wonderful to feel that things had turned around, and he was in a cheerful mood at the moment. He felt that his nerves, which had been tense for more than a month, could finally relax.
.
Thinking about it, it won't be long before the crisis in Lingzhou can be resolved.
Chen Ping carefully folded a few pages of paper and put them into his arms, and replied noncommittally: "Master Yang is obsessed with appearance. There are no small or big roles. In Gong Heng's eyes, he is the biggest role in his life."
Son."
"These things were all left by him for self-protection. It's a pity that he couldn't control his fate!"
Yang Anguo was startled by Chen Ping's words. After thinking about it, it seemed to be true, and he couldn't help but smile.
"I really don't believe you said you haven't been crowned yet. You have such a knowledgeable mind at the age of eighteen, and you have won the title of Huiyuan. I'm afraid that if you become an official in the court one day, you will disturb the peace of the Gongun princes in the temple, hahaha!" Chen Ping smiled and said nothing. He never liked to provoke others. If he really made others dissatisfied, it must be their fault.
A gentleman is upright and upright, so he provokes villains to slander him.
"Master Yang, with these clues and evidence left by Gong Heng, I think we can start arresting people."
Yang Anguo nodded and asked again: "Where to grab it? Could it be...",
Chen Ping showed his white teeth and smiled brightly, ""Warring States Policy-Qin Policy" said: Make friends far away and attack close by. What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
Due to Chen Ping's entry into the game, Pi Xiu's plan failed to succeed, and Yang Anguo also obtained a treasure. Not only did the smuggling case that was originally impossible to start have new clues, but the progress is also strange.
No, on the third day after Chen Ping returned to Congxing Mansion from Mulu Chieftain, Yang Anguo had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
The orders and notices issued by the Zhifu Yamen quickly spread throughout the city, and people all over the city were shocked by the news.
"The magistrate of Liehong County, the chief registrar, the magistrate of Pingbei County, Chishui County... are all suspected of collaborating with thieves for smuggling. In a peaceful world, we will never allow such sanctimonious and beastly people to go unpunished! This government...
”
"Sir, what does this notice say?"
"Hey, our Lord Yang has found evidence that the magistrates below are colluding with thieves, and now he wants to arrest them and bring them to justice!"
"Okay! Let me tell you why food has been so expensive in the past two years. It turns out that someone has teamed up with officials to harm us!"
"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Mr. Yang and Mr. Tang a good official? It's the bad things done by some officials who are greedy and greedy for profit."
"Save it, save it. Hey, at the beginning of the year, I heard that a big case was solved in Jianzhou and Qingzhou last year. It was related to the smuggling case. I was wondering if there was one in Lingzhou, but I didn't expect this to happen!"
People were crowded in front of the notice. After seeing the content of the notice or hearing other people's explanations, the people all cheered, and everyone had joy on their faces. As for the one who decided to go to a restaurant to celebrate with friends, it was even more so.
There are many people here.
In front of a mansion in the east of the city, Zheng Canghai, who had been recuperating at home since his last fright, hurried towards the door with his clothes in hand.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the young scholar who had frequently been in and out of the Zhifu Zhizhou Yamen these days and was said to be the cousin of Zhizhou Tang.
"Dare you ask me, sir..."
"Chen Ping, how is Mr. Zheng's health?"
Zheng Canghai paused. Hearing this name, he felt unfamiliar at first, then his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he frowned.
"Yes, but it's spring this year..." Zheng Canghai stuttered and was about to speak when Chen Ping raised his index finger to his lips. Zheng Canghai immediately understood this and hurriedly reached out and said "please"
.
Then he told the porter to close the door and not see any visitors, and then trotted after him.

After entering the main hall and taking a seat, Chen Ping looked around and made a mental assessment of the Zheng family's family background before taking a sip of tea.
"Young master Chen is really a young hero. I think he has given Fu Zunzhou Zun some advice, right?"
"Haha, I'm here just to relieve Mr. Yang's worries."
Chen Ping put down the tea cup, and the aftertaste in his mouth was that it was bitter and fragrant, which made him think it was the best tea, so he revealed the purpose of his trip.
"I have heard that the Zheng Mansion has accumulated tens of millions of dollars, and the family property is considered to be among the best in Congxing Mansion. I wonder if you would like to help the government tide over the difficulties?"
The smile on Zheng Canghai's face froze at this moment. He didn't expect that Chen Ping was here to ask for money, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.
Fortunately, most of his life has not been in vain, and he has become very good at dealing with this kind of thing. After adjusting his mentality a little, he put on a long face and started crying.
"Who the hell is this who is slandering me outside? Young master, don't look at the fact that the Zheng family has a big house now, but in fact it is all gold and jade, but inside it is ruined!"
"Young master, I don't know. I have been an official for decades and have been clean and tidy. I haven't..."
Chen Ping nodded and watched Zheng Canghai's passionate performance quietly, commenting on the uniqueness of his acting skills from time to time for reference.
After Zheng Canghai spoke on the phone, his mouth became dry and he had to drink tea to soothe his throat before Chen Ping spoke.
"The old gentleman is right, but won't you repay the government for saving your life? Now that the Lingzhou smuggling case has made a major breakthrough, if the government official wants to implicate one or two people, it is just a casual matter..." p>
Zheng Canghai almost spit out his tea as he took a sip of tea. His face was full of grief and anger but he was helpless.
This combination of soft and hard tactics really caught him, but letting him take the money was also a life-threatening matter.
Seeing that Zheng Canghai was still hesitating, Chen Ping made his final move.
"After the smuggling case is over, the government can only recover part of the 100,000 shi of grain, and the rest will naturally have to be converted into silver and handed over to the court. Who is the candidate for this transaction? I wonder if the old gentleman is interested?"
