Daxianguan

Chapter 492 Conspiracy
As the governor, Chu Xian naturally has absolute power, no matter who it is, as long as it is an official in Liangzhou, he has to obey orders.

But in the same way, as the governor, Chu Xian is superior and is watched by countless people, so he has to be cautious in every move, not to act indiscriminately, not to violate official laws, and not to be arrogant, and to conform to the power of the superior. Senior officials are also difficult.

It's like knowing that Song Guangming has a problem, but according to the official law, there is no conclusive evidence, so don't act rashly.

This is not the case of Wacheng, Wacheng was caught by Chu Xian with conclusive evidence, and there is an account book as ironclad evidence, but Song Guangming has nothing.

But Chu Xian didn't think that the other party would be able to play for a long time. Perhaps in other states, such people could exist, but in Liangzhou, in the territory under his jurisdiction, such officials must not be allowed to stay.

In two months at most, if the supervisory censor cannot take down Song Guangming, Chu Xian will also secretly take action.

But now, Chu Xian is mainly serving as the new governor and inspecting Liangzhou, so he only stayed in Dinghai County for two days, went to Zhenxi City, and then went to other cities.

The government orders of Zhenxi City are still conscientious, and have the precedent of Wacheng and the effect of killing chickens and monkeys. The tax administration of Zhenxi City is very well implemented, and some corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants have also been investigated. More than ten thousand taels.

Chu Xian knew that rice had to be eaten bite by bite, and it was the same in this governing state. It was impossible to lift the table to check everything like Wacheng.

It is still necessary to maintain stability, which is the overall situation.

After Chu Xian left, officials from the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials came down to announce the appointment of Xia Bozhong. After hearing that Xia Bozhong was transferred to Wacheng as the chief scribe of the city, many people were dumbfounded.

You must know that for Xia Bozhong, this is simply a promotion to the second rank, which is a huge jump. Many people say that Xia Bozhong is a blessing if he survives a catastrophe. Only Xia Bozhong knows that this is Chu Xian's favor to him. Trust and promote.

On the side of Zhenxi City Mansion, the chief secretary Song Guangming knew about this and kept silent. In the past, a mere Xia Bozhong couldn't even catch his eyes.

But now, he jumped on the branch and turned into a phoenix, and his level was already equal to him, so no matter how angry and jealous he was, he still sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

Song Guangming's mansion, at this moment, he is gloomy, pensive and silent.

Song Guangming was able to appreciate Chu Xian's attitude towards him, and he also knew that the supervisory censor had already been watching him. If he hadn't been impeccable in his work, and could be ruthless at critical moments, he might have lost his official position and his life. .

"In the officialdom, it's like walking on thin ice. The winner is rich and powerful, and the loser is doomed. Heh heh, although I, Song Guangming, are only the governor of the city, it is not so easy for you, the governor, to move me." Talking to himself, Song Guangming looked around, then walked to a secret room at the back, changed into ordinary clothes, covered his face with a hat, and left the mansion in the dark, then walked around in Zhenxi City and entered a Unremarkable houses.

From the outside, this folk house is really inconspicuous, but after entering, one realizes that there is a universe inside.

There were expert guards inside. Obviously, these experts all recognized Song Guangming and did not stop him. They let him pass directly and entered the room. The inside was spacious and tidy, and several people were eating hot 'fire bucket' around a big table.

The fire bucket is not only a hot pot, but a copper tripod is used to boil soup and cook meat.

When Song Guangming entered the room, he heard a person at the table saying, "Green Ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove. It will be snowing in the evening, can you have a drink?"

At that moment, Song Yuanming, who had just entered the door, smiled and said: "Haha, Mr. Xu is a great talent, this poem is very suitable for the occasion, it has just snowed outside the door."

"Master Song is here, come here, please sit down, please sit down." An old man over the table smiled.

It can be seen that there are four people in this room at the moment, an old man, an ugly and fat woman, a Taoist priest, and a scribe.

If Chu Xian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these four people as the president of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce that he met in Wacheng earlier.

At this moment, these four people have actually arrived in Zhenxi City, and they are still meeting Song Guangming in this secret residence.

When Song Guangming came in, a servant immediately brought up a bowl and chopsticks dipped in sauce.

"Master Song, these days are not easy. In order to deal with errands, the Six Leagues, including Zhenxi City, have lost millions of taels of silver this time. Otherwise, how can we keep officials like Mr. Song? This, Song My lord will appreciate it." It was Wu Chengxiang, the chairman of the De Ruixiang Chamber of Commerce who spoke.

Song Guangming took a piece of tender mutton with chopsticks and rinsed it in a copper pot, then dipped it in sauce and devoured it, and then said: "President Wu is right, but if there are no officials like me, the Six Leagues have been in trouble all these years." How can we earn a lot of money, we are friends, we win and benefit each other, when friends are in trouble, of course we should help out, this is not only for the sake of friends, but also for our own future business."

"Haha, talking to Mr. Song is so straightforward." Wu Chengxiang nodded: "But when will this kind of life end? Among the six alliances, they can only be regarded as the bottom, and the others are not as easy-talking as I am, I am afraid that they will be impulsive."

Hearing this, Song Guangming twitched his eyelids imperceptibly.

These businessmen in the Six Leagues are masters who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, greedy, and bold. Although Song Guangming is insidious, sometimes he really does not provoke these people. What Wu Chengxiang said now is Forcing him to find a way.

But now that he has boarded the boat, there is no way to go down, so all prosperity and destruction, even if it is for himself, he has to find a way.

Song Guangming said at this time: "I don't know what thoughts and plans the Six Leagues have. Let's hear it. If it can help, Song will definitely help with all his strength."

"It's not whether you can help, but you must be able to." Wu Chengxiang smiled, and then said to the scribes beside him: "Mr. Xu, you are the number one counselor of the Six Leagues, tell me."

The scholar surnamed Xu said at this moment: "Everyone, we are all on the same boat, so let's just say something straight. The Liumeng has been operating for many years in Liangzhou's territory and has done a lot of things. Among them, it is enough to be beheaded." Yes, more than half, let’s talk about Zhenxi City, the censor who was a threat to Mr. Song before, was done by our Liumeng. The work was done cleanly without leaving any traces or clues, so, To protect ourselves, some things must not be exposed. But now, Liangzhou has a governor surnamed Chu, and our life will be difficult. He has moved our interests, and he is the enemy of our Six Leagues. He wants to fight , do we have any reason to back down? A mere governor, really thinks he is someone? So, for our benefit, we have to get rid of this Chu Xian, or..."

Xu Wenshi didn't say anything at the end, but made a gesture of raising the knife.

That meaning is already self-evident.

Song Guangming was terrified when he heard this, and said, "Chu Xiangui is the governor of a state, not to mention whether you can kill him, but if you really kill him, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble. You know, Master Zhongshu is behind him." .”

"Master Song, you have misunderstood. There is not necessarily only one way to kill people. Especially when dealing with high-ranking officials, you must know how to kill with a knife. This borrowing of a knife is also very particular. You can borrow an official's knife or a demon's knife. In short, No matter what kind of knife it is, the one that can help us eradicate powerful enemies is a good knife." Xu Wenshi laughed.

Song Guangming took another piece of meat and ate it, took a sip of wine, and said, "It might be safer not to provoke Chu Xian first, if you make some concessions."

"Haha." Xu Wenshi smiled: "Master Song, how can there be such a safe thing in this world, let's not say that the Liumeng side will not let Chu Xian, who dares to touch the interests of the Liumeng, even if it is Liumeng. The League is willing to keep things quiet, so will Chu Xian let Liumeng go? I, Xu Yangqing, have studied Chu Xian carefully. Looking at the past and his resume as an official, I know that Chu Xian is definitely a person. He is ruthless, and none of the ones he targeted will have good results. I guess, Chu Xian has already started to spy on us secretly, including you, Mr. Song, who must be taken down by him. May I ask, how safe is it in this situation? If you don't kill him, he will kill you, this is a life-and-death battle, you can't escape it."

Xu Wenshi had a murderous look on his face at the moment.

Song Guangming took a deep breath, his expression remained the same, with a kind of deepness in his eyes, and then said: "I understand, what should Song do?"

"Simple!" Xu Wenshi smiled slightly: "Resign!"

……

To the north of Liangzhou, there is a desolate area, but there are also Liangzhou people living here, and the largest city in this area is Tunyang City.

Chu Xian has already inspected Zhenxi City, Hanshui City, and Donggu City. This Tunyang City is the fourth place, and on the way, Chu Xian got the Zhihe Biography of the Supervising Censor.

There is only one content. Song Guangming suddenly became seriously ill and resigned to recuperate.

On the other side of the state capital, Li Ji Changshi also sent a letter from Zhihe, saying that Song Guangming had crossed the state capital and directly asked for his resignation from the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials had already agreed.

Obviously, this is against the rules. In any case, Song Guangming should not skip the state capital and directly ask for resignation from the Ministry of Officials. In addition, the Ministry of Officials should not skip the state capital and agree to Song Guangming's resignation.

This is absolutely against the rules.

But having said that, if you want to use this matter to investigate, I am afraid that nothing will come to pass in the end. Song Guangming made it clear that he gave up his official position. He directly crossed the state capital to submit his resignation. This is not a big deal. , Just find any reason and you can prevaricate it.

For example, they agreed first, and then notified the state government later.

After all, this is not a big deal. The chief secretary of a city mansion is considered a high official in the city, but it is nothing if it is placed in the official department. Zhonglang can decide whether to stay or not on any matter.

In the Ministry of Officials, there are four Shizhonglang and four Silang.
