Ye Yongjia spread a stack of official documents on the table, flattened them with his hands, and gave them to Lu Deguang for review. Lu Deguang looked at his colleagues beside him and asked:
"Did you give the order to the office?"
Tongzhi's face turned livid: "It's Ye Tongpan."
"Sir Tongzhi, this is not a good thing for you," Ye Yongjia argued, "it was obviously you who wrote this chapter, how can there be any evidence that it was me?"
"You don't have the magistrate's seal in your hand? I can't get it from Tongzhi Yamen!" Tongzhi became anxious when he saw that he didn't recognize it.
"You can come anytime you want. No one dares to bother you just by stamping it, right?"
"You..." The colleague pointed at Ye Yongjia, then turned to Lu Deguang and said, "Master Lu, I have evidence! If you ask Secretary Chen to come, he will definitely say that the seal was affixed by Tong Juan without permission!"
"You know that I have discussed the layoff of six households, and Secretary Chen has a grudge against me, so how can he say good things about me? I know he is deliberately trying to harm me!" Ye Yongjia was indignant.
"Okay," Lu Deguang, who was silent, finally spoke, "Don't bring other people in, just accept it."
Tongzhi couldn't argue, and felt his eyes were weak, and touched the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands.
The trial was held in the lobby. Because the document was there and the evidence was conclusive, the process became much more casual. After the crime was punished according to law, the document was submitted to the province. After the provincial approval, the matter of dismissal was discussed.
Secretary Chen, because of Yuan Lun, Lu Deguang did not want to offend him, so he could only let him stay in the office for the time being.
It was noon. Lu Deguang finished his official duties and felt tired. He suddenly felt sleepy and came out of the court. He was afraid that someone would come to see him, so he simply slept in the yamen and went straight into the meeting room.
He strode into the back room, took off his official uniform, threw it to Li Yong, and told him to pour a bowl of tea first. He sat on the bed in the back and watched Li Yong working. "Ye Yongjia is really capable of great things. Last time he will
The salt ship was successfully delivered to Huaining, and now Shuli Chen's matter has been cleared up. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"Of course it's a good thing." Li Yong placed the tea in front of Lu Deguang.
He took a sip and sighed: "Li Yong, you understand so well, why don't you understand this truth? He is not an ordinary person. If he has full wings, he has the potential to compete with me. Besides, I have a feud with him, and something will inevitably happen."
!”
"Don't you still want to use him to deal with Yuan Lun?" Li Yong asked unhurriedly with a smile. It was an evil and sycophantic smile.
"That's right. There is no way to have both worlds." Lu Deguang shook his head and drank tea.
"My slave has a plan."
Lu Deguang's eyes were bright, he put down his tea bowl and stared at him with all his attention: "Say!"
"Since Tongzhi is exempted, master why not let Ye Yongjia take his place? Tongzhi has the job of taking care of both houses, taking bribes, cheating secretly, murdering people and silence, etc. All these things must go through Tongzhi's hands. No matter how hard he is, in this situation,
If he does not accept the stolen goods, he will be ostracized by everyone and depressed. If he does this for less than a year, he and his master will conspire and benefit, and they are all tied to the same rope. If he wants to challenge his master, his bad deeds will be revealed, and his master will
He had no choice but to bow his head and obey orders. If this plan worked, Ye Yongjia would be like a puppet. In addition, as time goes by, his ambition will be weakened and his spirit will be weakened. He can only serve as a staff member." Li Yong understated his long-term plan.
Tell it eloquently.
"You are really the think tank of this government, you are extraordinary!" Lu Deguang praised this ruthless plan.
"But it will destroy the child..." This is Yu Wai's emotion.
Within a few days, the provincial government approved a document, ordering the dismissal of the original co-president, and agreed to fill the vacancy. Lu Deguang suggested that Chen Ye Yongjia was smart and wise in politics and could be the co-president. The province immediately followed his advice and moved Ye Yongjia to be the co-president.
After these dangerous and dangerous catastrophes, his promotion could no longer waver in his heart. Perhaps this official title of Tongzhi also hid a deeper intention, but he didn't know it. He was like a target.
A blind man is walking alone on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by bottomless darkness. He is walking above the darkness, and helpless fear is the only thing that wraps him up. Every step he takes is filled with uncertainty and hesitation.
.
But he is still the same as before, just like when Qi He faced Wei Huai, he retained his great enthusiasm for himself. But after he has gone through thousands of tortures, who can blame him for all his misdeeds?
Ye Yongjia and two other members of the army entered the yamen. There were four yamen servants standing in front of the lobby in separate shifts, and they all said hello to the new Tongzhi. Ye Tongzhi also returned the gift to them, and asked about some less important official business.
The lobby goes around to the courtyard at the back. The courtyard is open-air, with the meeting room to the west and the second hall to the east. There are a few simple tables and chairs, and there are no calligraphy and paintings on the walls. There is also a study room inside, which is extremely simple. Looking at it,
Naturally, it is not as impressive as the magistrate's office.
Ye Yongjia came out of the study and saw a big man who looked like he was doing rough work coming towards him with a smile. He rolled up his sleeves, his arms were strong, his legs were thick and strong, and his figure was not fat, but he was strong and tight.
"I'm the groom from the same magistrate. Just now, the yamen servant gave me your horse. I took it from the back door to the stable and tied it in the shed, so I came a little later. At any rate, I want you to see this guy."
Smiled kindly.
"Tongzhi Yamen also has grooms?" Kou Zhong looked at him from the side.
"There's another one, but he's watching the horses over there at the stables." He kept smiling attentively.
"Who sent you here?" Ye Yongjia asked.
The man suppressed his smile a little and said, "It's just that... the colleague who was dismissed liked to raise horses and asked us to take care of it."
Ye Yongjia saw that what he said was not in tune, and judging from previous events, he must not take it lightly this time, so he asked: "Where are you sleeping?"
"We are all poor. It's enough if someone can pay us. How dare we ask for a house to sleep in!"
"I know. Go about your business." Ye Yongjia looked at him suspiciously until he left the courtyard.
"A poor person has such a fair face...he is full of lies." Kou Zhong muttered.
"I guess the people sent by the Governor's Office may want to kill me..." Ye Yongjia started walking, "But they are definitely not in the yamen. There are yamen servants outside here, so they don't dare to do anything... Or maybe they are just ventilating Yuan Lun.
Report."
He turned around and smiled at Kou Zhong: "Maybe I think too much, I shouldn't be in danger of my life."
"Master still has to worry." Kou Zhong was thinking about Ye Yongjia all the time.
Ye Yongjia went straight back to the lobby and saw several government officials chatting away, so he called them over and whispered in his ear: "When you have time, go to the backyard and spy on the two grooms, and report everything they say. Remember.
Don't get caught."
The yamen servants were all from Lu Deguang's new faction, and Ye Yongjia was trustworthy. He patted them on the shoulders and left the yamen.
"Sir, don't leave! I have something to ask you."
A lean old man stood in front of him and looked at him with cunning eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
