Chapter 647 Cen Ling's Visit
Young Master Cen Qi came to Siming Mansion suddenly, the news not only baffled Gao Yushi, but also confused Huang Zhiting.

At that time, she did say that he would invite Young Master Cen Qi to come to Siming Mansion as a guest, but it was not so much an invitation as a provocation, because in Huang Zhiting's view, it was very difficult for Young Master Cen Qi to deal with the troubles in his Si city. I have a headache, how can I come to Siming Mansion in a leisurely way?
Although as an outsider, Huang Zhiting doesn't know what the current power structure in Sicheng is like, but she is absolutely sure that the Cen family in Sicheng is not monolithic.

You must know that although the housework in her Siming Mansion was chaotic, no matter how chaotic it was, Huang Chengzu took the initiative to ignore it, and he did not come out to interfere with Huang Zhiting.As for the younger brother Huang Yinglei, although he is dissatisfied with his sister's "use of power and usurpation of the government", he has not received the support of the local officials in the house because of his previous mistakes. Therefore, overall, the Huang family's government orders are still smooth Yes, the power is still intact.

But the situation in Sicheng Prefecture is much more complicated.

The head of the Cen family was Sien Mansion at the beginning. Because Cen Jun, the local magistrate of Sien Mansion, was a villain in the past, the imperial court mobilized a large army to attack Sien Mansion, turned Sien Mansion into a homeland, and set up a Liuguan magistrate.Later, Cen Meng in Tianzhou rose up and forcibly obtained the position of the head of the Cen family. However, Cen Meng showed signs of unifying the Cen family in the name of falsely avenging his past revenge. The court once again mobilized an army to wipe out Cen Meng. also declined. [Windless Note: Please refer to Chapter 073 of this volume to have strength in unity]
Sicheng Prefecture was Cen Jun's accomplice at the beginning, but was attacked by Cen Meng with all his strength, and even the head of the family, Cen Jie, died in the chaos. When all the branches are combined, Sicheng Prefecture is the most powerful, so Sicheng has become the main branch of the Cen family.

However, is the status of the Cen family in Sicheng as stable as Mount Tai?No, not at all.

At this time, the Cen family was full of chaos: although there were a bunch of chieftains in the Cen family, the three strongest families were Sien Mansion, Tianzhou Mansion, and Sicheng Prefecture.

After the turmoil, the Sien Mansion was reassigned as a Liuguan magistrate, but due to the unstable rule, the court had to "relocate" the chieftain Zhao's family to serve as the co-prefect of the Sien Mansion, but the eight inspection divisions under the Sien Mansion It was still the old department of the Cen family. The Zhao family spent decades of work and tried every means, but they only got three inspection departments.

So now Si En Mansion is actually divided into three forces:
The Zhao family controlled Fucheng, as well as the three local inspectorates, Nama, Xinglong, and Guling, with a normal strength of about [-] troops, occupying the central area of ​​Sien Mansion;
Although the officials and magistrates stationed by the imperial court are in Fucheng, the territory they can rely on is in Wuyuan County in the south. This county was assigned to Sien from Nanning Prefecture. Husuo, a great person with a thousand names;

The five soil inspection divisions in the north are still occupied by the former Cen family. They currently obey the orders of the head of the Cen family in Sicheng Prefecture in name, but in fact, no one knows what happened, maybe they don’t even know it themselves. , I am afraid it is more appropriate to count it as independent affairs.

This is actually an important reason why the Zhao family would rather give up the old land of Longzhou, which was "surrounded" by the Huang's forces, and take the Bazhai area, because the Bazhai area is just to the east of the central part of Si'en Mansion, next to the area controlled by the Zhao family. Gu Ling soil inspection department.Once the land of Bazhai is taken down and managed properly, in ten or twenty years, the Zhao family will have the strength to overwhelm the five Cen's former soil inspection departments in the north, and then basically unify the Si'en mansion.

The situation in Tianzhou Prefecture is a bit simpler. Ever since it was breached by the imperial court and the situation could not be stabilized, Wang Shouren adopted a compromise method, abolishing the reform of land and returning, and still "using the barbarians to control the barbarians". Part of Tianzhou was dismembered, and then it was reduced from a prefecture to a state.Later, Mrs. Wa "forgives her husband's crimes" and led the army to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and made great contributions, and the situation in Tianzhou stabilized.However, due to losses in various aspects, it has not slowed down until now decades have passed.

What about Sicheng Prefecture?As the head of the Cen family, he has a lot of troubles.First of all, there is a problem with the name. After all, the "level" of Sicheng Prefecture is only "state", and the Cen family still has a local magistrate - the local magistrate of Zhen'an Prefecture belongs to the Cen family.

Fortunately, although Zhen'an Prefecture is known as a prefecture, its strength is not as strong as that of Sicheng Prefecture, and the successive generations of patriarchs have been unambitious and muddling along, which did not lead to further civil strife in the Cen family.

In addition to the name, there is another big problem in Sicheng Prefecture, which is one power and two divisions: the current Patriarch Cen Shaoxun inexplicably gave up power and went to live the life of a hermit he yearned for. As a result, there are now two people in power in Sicheng, one is Cen Shaoxun Huang Ma (Huang's family name is a common surname in Guangxi, this "Huang" is not the "Huang" of the chieftain in southern Guangxi), and the other is the seventh son of Cen Ling and Cen who visited Siming Mansion today.

Regarding Cen Shaoxun's approach, there are many rumors outside, but none of them have been proven to be true. The only thing everyone is sure of is that one of Huang Ma and Cen Ling must be a "rebellious minister and thief", because Cen Shaoxun is only four years old. The only son, Cen Yunhan, was actually sent to Guilin to "study".

Guilin is the provincial capital of Guangxi and the core of the imperial court's rule in Guangxi.Cen Shaoxun's only son was sent to Guilin, what's the difference between that and sending a proton?
This is not the normal operation of a chieftain family!

So this series of "magic manipulations" in Sicheng Prefecture have caused people's hearts to fluctuate in all aspects of Guangxi. They don't know what's going on with their family. The only person who is more happy is probably the imperial court - don't care what the hell you are doing, anyway. You took the initiative to send protons, so there is nothing to say, we will definitely accept it.

In such a chaotic and weird situation, it is even more inexplicable that Young Master Cen Qi did not stay in Sicheng Prefecture to fight for power with Huang Ma, but came to Siming Mansion instead.If Huang Zhiting hadn't met Young Master Cen Qi several times and could see that he was not a fool, he might have thought that this guy had failed in his struggle for power and had come to Siming Mansion to seek asylum.

However, when Huang Zhiting and Gao Wushi rushed to the main hall to meet Young Master Cen Qi, they only took one look and knew that this guy would definitely not fail in the struggle for power, because he was still the handsome and handsome young master at the moment, and he won the victory in white. Xue, the black bone fan painted with gold in his hand was gently shaking, and there was an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Miss Huang, Mr. Zhang, although we only saw each other for a few days, I really miss you so much. Fortunately, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with Miss Huang, so I just took the opportunity to come here to disturb you, haha..."

Young Master Cen Qi was full of smiles when he said this, but Huang Zhiting became nervous for some reason, and quickly glanced at Gao Yushi, seeing that although Gao Yushi was smiling, he seemed to be thinking, so he couldn't help saying hastily: "Young Master Seven, Come if you want, but don't use my cover." Then the conversation suddenly changed: "What does Seventh Young Master have to teach you here?"

Gao Wushi and Cen Ling were taken aback by what he said, Gao Wu said honestly: Mr. Seventh Cen is also Mr. Cen, one of the rulers in Sicheng Prefecture, why did Miss Huang suddenly speak so sincerely to him?

Young Master Cen Qi thought to himself: Huang Zhiting, this girl took the wrong medicine?I didn't argue with her about the ownership of the Eight Villages before, and this time I didn't hold her accountable for abducting Gao Xunyan in the white dragon fish suit to Siming Mansion. Why does she treat me like this?Could it be... She also guessed Gao Yushi's identity, afraid that my coming here to get close to Gao Yushi would disturb her in Bazhai's follow-up arrangements?
This is a little troublesome. Although the Bazhai matter is not insignificant, what is it compared to the things I want to ask Gao Xun to help?If because of the Bazhai incident, I can't get close to Gao Xunkan, and I can't get his trust and help, when will the troubles in Sicheng Prefecture be resolved?
No, I have to find a way to get close to him, and I have to avoid the girl Huang Zhiting.
