Yang Kang said: "After saying this, I am humble and I know some clues."
Liu Chengfeng cheered up and said, "Clues? Let's continue."
Yang Kang said: "There is a commander... Yes, it's Deng Tong. This man is stationed in Meiling area and leaning against Nanchang City. At that time, King Ning suddenly rebelled and ordered the guards to disarm many military households. Only Deng Tong could move to Jiujiang safely with his people. It's a strange thing. It's the old nest of King Ning. If he had any trouble, King Ning would ignore him? Although someone had checked him after he arrived in Jiujiang, he claimed that he had three thousand military horses on hand at that time. King Ning didn't dare to act rashly, but he was a little suspicious. The three thousand military horses were not too many for King Ning, and they were also military households. There were only more than a thousand people available in his command post. The other thousand households were stationed in various places. King Ning had sent people to surround many military households. He was not afraid that someone would dare not obey King Ning's arrangements, so why did he let him go?"
After pausing, Yang Kang continued: "I think there must be something wrong with this person."
Liu Chengfeng held his chin. Of course, he knew what happened half a month ago. King Ning's followers began to clean up in Nanchang and near northern Ganzhou. Those who followed him would prosper and rebel died. The military office stationed nearby would either surrender or surrender directly or take military officers to punish him. This method would be used to enhance his own strength.
But this Deng Tong was so strange. His base was in Meiling. Meiling was only a few dozen miles away from Nanchang City. But he could move forward and retreat freely and lead a group of people to the north. King Ning had no intention of blocking him at all.
Something is a trick...
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered that at the meeting just now, this guy was confronting him with the governor and was still relying on his seniority in front of Qian Fang.
This person must have a problem...
Liu Chengfeng said in a plain tone: "Look at him, all the people he has come into contact with, all his work and schedule, I must be clear about. Once I find something, the Jinyiwei doesn't have to worry about it, just take people."
Yang Kang naturally knew the boss's temperament and hurriedly said, "Abide by the order."
Liu Chengfeng said: "As for others, I have to keep an eye on it. I always think that these are not reliable. Preventing problems before they happen."
Yang Kang nodded and said, "I am very humble and I am afraid that there is not enough manpower. Can I second it from the Implementation Bureau?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "If there are not enough people, go directly to secondment. I will say hello. You are very involved now. Don't take it lightly. If you have any difficulties, just come and find me."
After seeing Yang Kang away, Liu Chengfeng was a little idle. Although he was very responsible, he didn't know what he should do for a moment. He smiled bitterly and simply sat on the chair and took a nap.
He had a dream. The military officers in the dream, those named military officers, were actually the landlords in the local area. They colluded with King Ning to rush into Jiujiang City. There was a fire everywhere and there were shouting for killing everywhere. There was a saying among the shouting for killing. Liu Chengfeng heard it very clearly in his dream: "Don't let Liu Chengfeng go. The prince has an order. Those who capture Liu Chengfeng alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Thousands of liang...
When Liu Chengfeng woke up and recalled this dream, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but curse King Ning in the dream. My head was only a thousand taels of silver, which was too underestimated me. Without a million taels of silver, I, Liu Chengfeng, wouldn't easily take it for you.
Hey, it seems that it is not right. Not to mention the amount of money it costs millions, no matter how much money it costs, the person won’t sell it.
This was a very strange dream, which seemed to give Liu Chengfeng some hint. Liu Chengfeng suddenly found that he was going to re-examine his position. It was only two days after he arrived in Jiujiang, two days... He had contacted many people in two days, both good and bad. Liu Chengfeng passed these people in his mind, pondering and speculating repeatedly, and always felt that he seemed to have noticed something, but he could not explain it clearly for a while.
He sat on the chair and stared blankly, with a rare slight suspicion appearing in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but pat his forehead and shouted, "Come, come..."
The outside was in a hurry, and the person coming in was Zhao Yicheng. It must be that Zhao Yicheng had finished the work at hand and was still idle for a while. His document was actually Liu Chengfeng's personal secretary, so he was waiting outside. When he heard Liu Chengfeng's call, he hurried in and said, "What are the instructions of sir?"
Liu Chengfeng looked solemnly, stared at Zhao Yicheng and said, "You are a scholar. I must know a little about the matter in the Hanlin Academy, right?"
The supreme ideal of scholars is the Hanlin Academy, so the noble Shuji scholars of the Hanlin Academy are almost the most concerned people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are stars among scholars. Especially the emergence of newspapers has made the news spread faster than before, and those Hanlin Academy and Shuji scholars who are particularly mysterious in the eyes of scholars have gradually been understood.
Of course, ordinary people are of course not interested in knowing what Shujishi looks like, nor are they interested in knowing how many editors and lecturers there are in the Hanlin Academy, and how many attendants and lecturers there are. Those who follow them are just scholars.
Zhao Yicheng was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng would ask this question, and couldn't help but say, "What are you going to ask about this?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "I just suddenly remembered something. I ask you, Zhu Shimao, the governor of Jiangxi, have you heard of him before?"
Zhao Yicheng felt even more strange. The imperial envoy actually asked about the background of the governor of Jiangxi. Isn’t that strange? Zhao Yicheng did his best to answer: “Students know a little, especially the articles of this adult have also copied them.”
Copying other people's classic articles is what scholars like to do the most, especially those of famous people. After all, printing is limited in this era. After some famous articles are circulated, scholars rush to copy them. The allusion that Luoyang's paper is expensive is actually caused by this phenomenon.
Liu Chengfeng said: "You continue to say what article is being copied."
Zhao Yicheng said: "There is a very clear article called the 'theory of noble and humbleness', which is nothing more than criticizing the forgetfulness of profit and the difficulties of today's gentry. Yes, there is a very clear sentence for students, saying: The emperor will prosper if he relies on the gentry, and the contrary will perish."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but gasp, his face suddenly became ugly. This sentence was already very rebellious. He said lightly: "Are there many people in the Hanlin Academy who speak sharply like him?"
Zhao Yicheng said: "There are people who criticize current affairs, but not many people like Mr. Zhu. What's wrong? In fact, students think that Mr. Zhu's words also make some sense. Although they are a little extreme,... the students deserve to die..."
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng's face looked very bad, Zhao Yi immediately said: "Students are just documents. What is the national policy of the court? How can students speak out?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled. Of course he knew what scholars in the world thought. It would be strange if Zhao Yicheng thought that Zhu Shimao's words were unreasonable. However, Zhu Shimao's words were too rebellious, which made Liu Chengfeng think something again.
He said coldly: "Mr. Zhao, I have one thing to tell you."
Zhao Yicheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Sir, please give me the order."
Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "The Governor's Office was just created, and many clerks must have been seconded from the Governor's Office."
Jiujiang is in a mess, and almost all the yamen are newly built. After all, Nanchang has been taken down. Although the court has newly appointed officials, the people in the yamen have to start recruiting again. Most of them are seconded from local yamen. For example, Zhao Yicheng was seconded by Liu Chengfeng from the prefect's yamen.
Zhao Yicheng nodded and said, "This is right. The governor's yamen has seconded 17 people from the magistrate's yamen and several local yamen."
"Are you familiar with these people?" Liu Chengfeng asked in a plain tone.
Zhao Yicheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Everyone works in the same yamen. They don't look up and see each other. Of course, they all know each other. There are also a few who have a deep friendship with students. Sometimes after completing official duties, they are inevitably invited to have two glasses of wine and talk."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "That's good. I will give you a sum of silver at that time. Is five hundred taels enough? You can deal with these people with more money. Of course, I will also help me find out some news from them. What's wrong with Zhu Shimao? I'll be the first to report it to me. Do you know?"
Zhao Yicheng was shocked and couldn't help but say: "Master... the adult is asking students... to inquire about the governor, this... this... this is not appropriate. After all, the governor is a chief official and a second-rank official of the court. If he is asked to know, wouldn't the student be... not... not..."
Zhao Yicheng was obviously a very timid person. At this time, his calves had begun to tremble. He looked at Liu Chengfeng incredibly, shocked.
What is his identity? When I go to inquire about such an official, will I still have a life if I am slightly suspected?
Liu Chengfeng encouraged him, "You don't have to be afraid, don't worry, just tell you the truth. I think this governor has a problem. For safety reasons, I let you take this risk. Don't worry, I will support you, no one can touch you, you don't have to be afraid. This is also serving the court. If you do well, you will inevitably be praised by the time."
Zhao Yicheng was still hesitant. Even though he said that, he had seen a lot of things in the officialdom, and it was really going to make people discover it. Will Liu Chengfeng really protect himself? But if he didn't do anything for Liu Chengfeng, his future would be afraid...
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yicheng finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Students understand, students must do what they told them."
