Chapter eight hundred and thirty-eight the excuse for murder
Ye An looked at Pei Chengwen in surprise. Very few subordinates would refuse a visit from Shangguan. Besides, Mu Mu went to his house yesterday and gave a lot of gifts to Mrs. Pei. He refused to come to his house like this.
It's really rude to visit.
"Aren't you worried that your mansion is too beautiful and I will occupy the magpie's nest?"
Ye An's words made Pei Chengwen slightly stunned, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "What are you talking about, Mr. Hou? I will not be so stingy in my humble position. It's just that the situation in Liangzhou Mansion is unstable at the moment. There was an assassin who sneaked into the humble house yesterday, but he didn't succeed.
I am worried that the Marquis will go..."
Ye An smiled: "If that's the case, then I won't go. I just have some free time today, so I will go to Liangzhou Prefecture to see various places."
He didn't expect that Ye An would change his attitude so quickly, and he didn't expect that Ye An would actually go to the county below to inspect it today. Pei Chengwen was caught off guard: "Is it too hasty to mention that I have to go to a subordinate county now?"
Ye An looked at Pei Chengwen with some deep meaning: "The importance of Liangzhou is not in Liangzhou City, but in the counties under its control. It is not a good thing to be strong externally but in power, and it is not a good strategy to be strong externally but in power!"
Pei Chengwen looked at Ye An in surprise. He didn't expect Ye An to be able to see the problem at a glance. Yes, in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, only Liangzhou City was the place with the most control over the Song Dynasty. Even so, there were many forces here.
They were stationed there, but the local government was unable to do so.
At this time, Pei Chengwen was a little torn. On the one hand, he didn't want anything to happen to Ye An, but on the other hand, he wanted something to happen to Ye An. These two emotions collided in his mind, with one thought taking over at the same time.
"I wonder where Ye Hou plans to go today?"
Ye An looked at the government office that had been completely taken over by the Xi Lie Army and said: "I will take charge of the Liangzhou Prefecture from today on. Since you are going to the county under my control, you will temporarily take charge of the government affairs. I have already checked
, among the counties controlled by Liangzhou Prefecture, only Changsong and Jialin are relatively stable, so we will use these two places as patrol areas, you can go and do your work!"
Ye An has no intention of bringing Pei Chengwen with him, and the government office has been taken over by the Xi Lie Army. Mu Mu can start her work here, and the Puhui Company will begin to take root in this new land.
She doesn't have to worry about the logistics. Mu Mu can carry out the work very well. She has never let Ye An down. After all, she has received a systematic and advanced education. Qin Mu Mu is excellent in both ability and wisdom.
Don’t lose to yourself.
Pei Chengwen hesitated again and again before Ye An left and said: "Master Hou, Liangzhou Prefecture is not as good as the hinterland of the Central Plains. You should also know about Jichuan Village. The northwest is much more chaotic than the Central Plains. Master Hou should bring more people with him."
good."
Ye An nodded: "Pei Tong's judgment is reasonable, and I think so too, but..."
Seeing Ye An's hesitation, Pei Chengwen said cautiously: "I wonder what else the Marquis has to say?"
"I asked Judge Pei Tong to keep the matter of my inspection a secret. Don't be surprised. I want to see what Liangzhou Mansion looks like. Even if it is corrupt, I must know how corrupt it is. Remember not to mention it to anyone."
!”
Pei Chengwen immediately said: "This is natural, please don't worry, Mr. Hou!" From this moment on, Pei Chengwen knew that Ye An was not simple, and this traceless temptation left him completely helpless.
He told himself the news and asked himself to keep it a secret. If Ye An was attacked, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
Pei Chengwen is not a fool. At this time, he has already given up his plan to tip off Zhuo Da and others. Now is not the time. Even if he wants to get rid of Ye An, he still needs to wait for a perfect time.
Before leaving, Ye An patted his shoulder and said: "I am very relieved about you, Lao Pei. After all, as a general magistrate, I have the responsibility to assist the superior! It's a pity that I can't appreciate your yard. I heard that your backyard is comparable to Luoyang."
Garden!"
"They are all spread randomly by people who have never seen the world. They cannot be taken to be true. They cannot be taken to be true!"
Pei Chengwen, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, didn't know that Ye An's face turned cold after turning around. He left the government office without saying a word before exhaling a breath of turbidity from his chest.
Today he came to test Pei Chengwen. Although he had just arrived in Liangzhou Mansion, Ye An had already sent people to investigate the cause of death of the previous three magistrates.
It can be said that since he can be sent to Liangzhou Prefecture, as the head of the prefecture, he is a capable minister in the court!
It is naturally unreasonable for three consecutive people to die in office, and the imperial court has begun a close investigation. However, the information held by the Imperial City Division is not comprehensive. It only investigated the causes of death of the three previous Ye Ans and the details of the accident that day.
process.
Although they are all "accidents", they have many similarities. Every time, almost every time, Pei Chengwen was unscathed and could temporarily assume the power of the prefect. During this period, he repeatedly made new policies, so that Liang
All the forces in the state capital will be as stable as docile kittens and will stop causing trouble.
Qin Mumu quickly targeted Pei Chengwen. Having experienced a large number of practical case training in school, she could tell at first sight that this was a collusion of interests between Pei Chengwen and various forces.
Ye An had the same view as her, so when he arrived in Liangzhou City, he asked Qin Mumu to visit the Pei family. He should give gifts and say hello, but Pei Chengwen didn't expect him to accept them at all.
His words seemed reasonable and well-founded, but in fact they couldn't stand up to speculation. As a superior, he personally proposed to visit his subordinates' homes. How many of his subordinates would refuse directly? Or was he using assassins as an excuse to cover up his intentions?
It's been a while.
Ever since he arrived at Liangzhou Mansion, he was full of malice. Although Liangzhou City was still under the control of the Song Dynasty, he, who was appointed by the imperial court and promoted by decree, was targeted everywhere.
Pei Chengwen is quite good, at least on the surface he still treats him with the courtesy of a superior, but until now, the governor stationed in Liangzhou City has never come to pay him a visit, which is very abnormal.
Pei Chengwen, the general magistrate, has the authority to control the governor of the city, and Ye An has the authority to control. Whether it is raising matters in Ganliang or Qinfeng Road, these two dispatches are enough to make Liangzhou
Guan Anshan, the city's garrison supervisor, came to "report" cautiously.
But now Guan Anshan has not appeared, and the entire government office is so sparsely populated that not even a single official can be seen. If there were no petty officials among them, Ye An even suspected that the entire Liangzhou City was no longer under the rule of the Song Dynasty!
Tieniu, who was driving the car, snorted and said: "Master Hou, these people just don't take us seriously. It seems that the Xi Lie Army's entry into the city has frightened them out of fear. They thought we were going to investigate them."
"Isn't that true? Your Marquis is so majestic that even before he opened a government office, he already had the Western Lie Army. How can the old troops in Liangzhou City not be worried? Mr. Ye, have you figured out how to win people's hearts?"
Chen Lin crossed her legs and spoke in the carriage, but her words sounded like she was mocking Ye An.
"What a great opportunity! How to win people's hearts? Of course it is to kill people to establish authority. As for who to kill, hehe..."
Following Ye An's sneer, Chen Lin's neck felt cold and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Pei Chengwen is the general magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture, and Guan Wanshan is the garrison governor, so he cannot be killed!"
Ye An curled his lips, looked at Chen Lin and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I am a fool? Kill them...who am I going to use!"
