The seven county magistrates left the government office one after another and returned to their respective post offices.
After Zhao Jiacheng, the magistrate of Huaiji County, returned to the post house, he sat angrily and was extremely angry. As the magistrate of Huaiji County, he was in charge of the administration and had great power. He even controlled part of the military power, which was a position of real power. , Li Zhen is now given a garrison position. Although it also has military power, the biggest question is whether he can gain control of the army.
Zhao Jiacheng was a scholar and did not understand the affairs of the army. He also believed that he could not subdue the soldiers in the army. Therefore, he believed that Li Zhen did not grant him military power and that he was sidelined. It was a disguised rise and fall.
Zhao Jiacheng couldn't bear this.
He sat in the room and thought about it all afternoon, and finally a determined expression appeared on his face.
Obviously, he has made up his mind.
At night, Zhao Jiacheng left his room carefully, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly walked towards the residence of Han Yu, the magistrate of He County. After entering Han Yu's room, he immediately greeted Han Yu, but Zhao Jiacheng did not reveal his purpose immediately. He kept arguing with Han Yu, and the two of them started talking here and there, completely casually.
At first, Han Yu could bear it, but Zhao Jiacheng didn't explain his purpose for a long time, so he became impatient and said directly: "Zhixian Zhao, why did you come to find Han in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Jiacheng said: "I'm here for a big event."
"Big deal, what big deal." Han Yu whispered.
His voice was not loud, and he already had a vague guess in his mind, but he would have to listen to Zhao Jiacheng himself to know.
Zhao Jiacheng changed the subject and said: "Zhi County Magistrate, Li Zhen asked us to join the army and we cannot leave Cangwu County now. Moreover, we have to write letters home and ask our wives and children to come to Cangwu County. Once we do this, If it’s really me who is the source of the fish, can it be that Magistrate Han will willingly hand over his power?”
After a pause, Zhao Jiacheng continued: "Weak scholars like us will definitely not be able to do it in the military camp. Those tough soldiers in the army will definitely not obey us. When the time comes, Li Zhen will have to take over the soldiers. This is a disguised form of power." .”
Han Yu said: "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done?"
Zhao Jiacheng said: "I have a way to try."
"What's the plan? Magistrate Zhao has a plan to escape." Han Yu asked again.
Zhao Jiacheng shook his head slightly and said seriously: "It is impossible to escape. Even if we escape now, Li Zhen will send his army to kill us in the future, and we will not be able to escape. The only way to completely solve the future troubles is to do this." ..." He stretched out his hand and wiped it on his neck, but Han Yu's expression immediately turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."
Zhao Jiacheng said coldly: "Are you going to let Li Zhen leave us here?"
Han Yu sighed: "Your method is too risky. If something happens, we will definitely die without a burial place. Even if we succeed, there are still soldiers belonging to Li Zhen in the city, and you can't escape."
Zhao Jiacheng said: "Zhixian Han, you are timid and can only stay in Cangwu County for the rest of your life."
Han Yu thought for a while and thought that he couldn't agree directly.
He immediately changed his angle and said loudly: "The magistrate of Zhao County, Wan Lang, the magistrate of Yong'an Prefecture, and Yuan Ping, the magistrate of Zhaoping County, are all in the post house. Go tell them the matter and listen to their opinions." In his words, Han said Yu revealed a message that if the other two people agreed, he could participate, but he did not say it clearly, and if the other two people did not agree, he would not agree.
"Okay, I'll contact you."
Zhao Jiacheng stood up in confusion, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
He thought he would encounter difficulties in persuading Han Yu, but he didn't expect that this guy was a person without a backbone. Han Yu wanted to blame the problem on the other two people, but he didn't know that this approach was a disguised support for Zhao Jiacheng.
Zhao Jiacheng laughed in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "President Han, wait for my good news."
After saying that, he turned around immediately, but as soon as he turned around, he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.
"Tap, step,."
The footsteps came closer and closer, getting closer and closer.
"boom,."
Before Han Yu could open the door, he heard a violent crash. With a bang, the door of the house was violently hit. The wooden door could not withstand the impact and was knocked open. A group of soldiers looked fierce. He rushed in and immediately surrounded Zhao Jiacheng and Han Yu.
"It's over, it's over, Zhao Jiacheng has implicated me."
Han Yu shouted in his heart and his face turned pale.
However, Zhao Jiacheng calmed down and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you break into the house without permission? I am a fifth-level guard appointed by Mr. Li. You are surrounding me. Do you want to rebel?"
"What a big hat."
A cold voice came, and then a young man walked out.
This young man is Ye Chengzhong.
He looked at Zhao Jiacheng with a smile, took out a file in his hand, and said loudly: "Zhao Jiacheng, someone reported that you were corrupt and perverting the law in Huaiji County and framed your colleagues. The commander-in-chief has given me full authority to handle this matter. Come and take it away." ." Two soldiers immediately grabbed Zhao Jiacheng's arms and dragged him outside.
Han Yu rolled his eyes and felt worried.
Zhao Jiacheng was taken away because of evidence of his crime. As for him, he knew that the reason why Zhao Jiacheng was taken away was not for corruption, but for conspiring against Li Zhen. Especially since Ye Chengzhong came so quickly, one can imagine the speed.
For a moment, he was also terrified.
When Han Yu felt uneasy, Ye Chengzhong said: "Zhizhi of Han, among all the people, only Zhao Jiacheng was greedy for money and ignored national laws. If you are an officer in the army, you don't have to worry about things like Zhao Jiacheng happening."
When Han Yu heard this, he felt relieved.
Fortunately, he did not directly agree to Zhao Jiacheng, but just said in a vague way that Zhao Jiacheng should find the other people. Han Yu had no other thoughts in his mind. It was better to die than to live. In order to survive, he could give up everything else.
Zhao Jiacheng was escorted by soldiers and yelled along the way.
Ye Chengzhong was impatient and ordered the soldiers to gag Zhao Jiacheng. When Ye Chengzhong brought Zhao Jiacheng into the military camp, he sat directly above the tent, stared at Zhao Jiacheng with stern eyes, spread out the file in his hand, and said in a deep voice : "Zhao Jiacheng, you are disrespectful to the commander-in-chief and plotted against the commander-in-chief. You have committed a capital crime. Someone is here to drag this man down and behead him in public."
Immediately, Zhao Jiacheng was dragged out.
Ye Chengzhong looked at Zhao Jiacheng who was being dragged away, feeling excited and having a strange feeling.
He was ordered by Li Zhen to handle official affairs with full authority.
This was the first time Li Zhen had come to the forefront. Ye Cheng didn't want to mess it up, so he used thunderous methods. The first thing he thought of was to kill one person as a warning to others, but he couldn't kill the wrong person, so he sent soldiers to capture Zhao Jiacheng's followers. , investigated Zhao Jiacheng, and he also sent soldiers to follow Zhao Jiacheng and learned about the conversation between Zhao Jiacheng and Han Yu.
After arresting Zhao Jiacheng, Ye Chengzhong let Han Yu go. The reason why he did not arrest Han Yu was because the purpose of arresting Ye Chengzhong was to serve as a warning to others and to use Zhao Jiacheng to intimidate other county officials so that the matter would not escalate into a big deal.
