Chapter 493 Visiting Su Wenzheng

In the eyes of outsiders, this matter is nothing, but Chu Xian can feel that it is the other party provoking him. Originally, Chu Xian asked the supervisory censor to investigate Song Guangming, but once the other party resigned, many things would be difficult to investigate. .

It can be said that the opponent's move caught Chu Xian by surprise.

And the most powerful thing about the other party is that he resigned directly without making a decision on Zhou Qiangren's case. In this way, even if Zhou Qiangren knew something, he would not reveal it when other people interrogated Zhou Qiangren.

Besides, Chu Xian was sure that Zhou Qiangren didn't know anything about Song Guangming at all. How could Song Guangming, with his shrewdness, allow himself to be blamed on a waste like Zhou Qiangren.

Looking at it now, the energy behind Song Guangming should not be underestimated. Song Guangming's resignation is not a big deal. What is amazing is that the resignation can be passed, which shows that the black hand behind it is enough to reach out to the six departments.

This is serious.

After thinking about it, Chu Xian directly wrote Zhihe Biography and asked the supervisory censor to continue to investigate Song Guangming. The other party wanted to stay out of the matter by resigning from office, which was a good idea.

And Chu Xian had a feeling that something would happen soon.

"The storm is coming."

Chu Xian released the paper crane, which turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

The wind was blowing outside, and the wind was strong, and the officials who followed the heart told Chu Xian that they had already entered the boundary of Tunyang City.

Chu Xian raised the curtain of the car and looked out. He could see that the sky outside was dark. In Tunyang City, the days are short, the nights are long, and there are often dark clouds covering the sky, so it is called Tunyang.

There is no scorching sun in Tunyang, and the slanting moon will be seen sooner or later.

"Stop!"

Chu Xian thought of something at this moment, and said.

At that moment, the brigade stopped, waiting for Chu Xian to issue orders.

"How far is it from Huai'en County, Tunyang City?" Chu Xian asked, and an official who was familiar with the boundaries of Liangzhou immediately said, "Reporting to Lord Inspector, it's not far, half a day's journey at most."

Chu Xian nodded: "Then go to Huai'en County first."

In a word, the team set out again.

Some of the accompanying officials were puzzled, why they didn't go directly to Tunyang City, but went to Huai'en County first?

They didn't understand, but some people knew, and someone who knew right now said: "You don't know about this, it's because the two former governors of Liangzhou are in Huai'en County."

"Which adult is it?" the man asked.

"Su Wenzheng, Master Su!"

……

It is true that Chu Xian went to see Su Wenzheng. It was a matter of reason and reason. Chu Xian should come to visit. Firstly, Su Wen is a senior in the officialdom and once served as the governor of Liangzhou. kindness.

When Chu Xian was the county magistrate in Dinghai County, it was because of Su Wenzheng's recommendation that he had the opportunity to step into the Dongzhu Division.

You must know that they have never met each other, and Su Wenzheng can support him like this, how can Chu Xian not remember this kindness.In addition, Su Wenzheng is also upright as an official, because of the monster invasion, he voluntarily resigned from office and guarded Huai'en County, which is located on the border.

This is the example of an official in Chu Xian's heart, so since he is here, he should pay a visit.

Huai'en County, like Dinghai County, is a border-heavy county and pays attention to defense. You can see the county defense from a long distance. Come and meet.

The county magistrate of Wynn County also seemed to be quite satisfactory, nothing special.Knowing that Chu Xian was here to visit Su Wenzheng, he took the initiative to lead the way.

Although Su Wenzheng resigned and became a commoner, he was the governor of Liangzhou after all, so the county magistrate of Huai'en County did not dare to neglect him at all.

"Lord Inspector, Master Su, since he resigned from office, he has taken the initiative to relocate and set up his home outside Huai'en County, closer to the land of the demon clan. The next official is really convinced!" On the way, Wynn County Magistrate said this, and while introducing the situation in the county, he said that Su Wenzheng was doing well.

Chu Xian of Huai'en County also looked at it. The scale is larger than that of Dinghai County, which belongs to a large county.

The county magistrate of a large county and the county magistrate of a small county are the rules of officials at the bottom of the Holy Dynasty. Huai'en County is a large county, so the county magistrate is in charge, and the county magistrate belongs to the adjutant.

Perhaps someone had notified in advance that Chu Xian saw a house on the top of the hill in front of him. At this moment, someone was already standing at the door to greet him.

Although this man was dressed in commoner clothes, he had a self-satisfied demeanor and a certain aura. Chu Xian knew that if there were no accidents, this man must be Su Wenzheng.

"Lord Chu, I have long admired you!" Su Wenzheng said with a smile. He was dressed in commoner clothes, neat and almost spotless, and Su Wen's cultivation of Zhengshu was extremely high. In Chu Xian's view, he had reached the peak of his Dharma body.

One more step forward is Daoxian.

No wonder you can guard the border with one person's strength. Without strength, it must be impossible.

Chu Xian was also polite: "Master Su, Chu Xian is here to disturb you."

"Where is there, please come into the humble house and tell me!" Su Wenzheng invited, but Chu Xian gave way and walked in.

After all, he is now the serving governor, so it is normal for Su Wen to let Chu Xian take the lead.

Su Wenzheng's house is not big, with two yards at the front and back, four houses, and a grass pavilion with stone benches in the back yard, which is built on a rockery. Sitting on it, you can climb up and look far away, and see the land of the demon clan in the distance.

It can be said that if there were no monster clans to invade, the scenery here would really be beautiful, and it would be unforgettable to take a look at it.

At this moment, Su Wenzheng invited Chu Xian to sit here. Although the two met for the first time, they had a very happy conversation, and they seemed to hate each other later.

After chatting for a long time, Su Wenzheng said: "I knew back then, Master Chu, that you would be able to soar into the sky, but the speed of your promotion, Master Chu, is much faster than the old man expected. You are indeed young and promising."

"Master Su Miao praised, Chu Xian came here, firstly, to meet Master Su, to thank Master Su for his kindness in the past, and secondly, to ask Master Su, a good way to govern Liangzhou." Chu Xian said sincerely.

Su Wenzheng smiled: "I don't dare to ask for advice. The old man has been away from the officialdom for a long time, and it is far from Master Chu's opinion, but we can discuss one or two together."

Chu Xian thought for a while and asked directly: "Master Su, have you ever heard of the Six Leagues?"

Su Wenzheng was taken aback.

Although he soon returned to normal, Chu Xian still caught the trace of unnaturalness in Su Wenzheng's expression.

"Lord Chu, did you have a grudge with those six alliances?" Su Wen asked reflexively.

Chu Xian nodded and admitted: "There is a grudge, and the grudge is not shallow."

"That's troublesome." Su Wenzheng sighed and said, "Six Leagues, don't mess with it."

Chu Xian smiled: "Why is it not easy to mess with?"

Su Wenzheng's expression turned serious: "Hidden, powerful, deeply rooted, wealthy, and inextricably linked with the officials of the Holy Dynasty. The old man was the governor back then, and he had to let them go in some places, just because he was afraid that they would mess around. , as a feudal official, what you are most afraid of is chaos in the state. To be more precise, you are afraid that the livelihood of the people will have problems. Once the livelihood of the people goes wrong, no matter how capable you are. , the higher-ups will replace you immediately, so this line cannot be touched. The scariest part of the Six Leagues is also here. They are involved in various industries, and they do some tricks at will, such as driving up the price of a certain product, causing the supply to exceed demand. Our officials can't even see it, and even if something goes wrong, they don't even notice it."

Hearing this, Chu Xian also frowned, secretly thinking that he was looking for Su Wenzheng this time, and the other officials knew nothing about this kind of thing.

If the other party really tampered with the people's livelihood, it would be quite fatal. If something went wrong, the official department's assessment of the governor would be added. If the problem was serious, it was possible to replace it directly.

"They, have the guts?" Chu Xian asked at this time, obviously a little unbelieving.

"If it's secret, it won't be noticed by others, and there's no evidence to prove that they did it, what are they afraid of?" Su Wenzheng said with a smile.

Chu Xian understood what it meant.

If Liumeng really has this kind of ability, it will definitely make the whole thing look 'logical', as if it wants to control the price of rice, it must have done enough preparatory work in front, and then make the rise of rice price seem insignificant. No flaws, this is a matter of course, the most troublesome thing is that this kind of thing is extremely difficult to detect, and there is no trace to find, but once it breaks out, the lethality is quite large.

"I know, Mr. Chu, you are good at investigating cases and chasing murderers, but this time, it's not a major murder case, and you may even not be able to figure out the other party's methods. Fortunately, Liumeng is a businessman, and businessmen are after profit. The matter is too extreme, so as long as you turn a blind eye to them, you can live in peace, after all, compared with them, the most important thing in Liangzhou is to defend against the monsters." Su Wenzheng said here, the voice There is also a hint of fatigue and helplessness in it.

"To be an official, you must pay attention to the way of compromise. Master Chu should be very clear that he can sit on the position of governor at such a young age." Su Wenzheng said.

Chu Xian nodded: "Yes, to be an official, one must know how to choose and compromise, but in Chu Xian's view, the troubles of the Six Alliances are higher than those of the Monster Race."

Su Wenzheng was taken aback by these words, and then smiled.

"Master Chu, what you said is a bit alarmist. The Six Alliances are just a group of businessmen. How can their harm be higher than that of the monster clan?" Obviously, Su Wenzheng did not agree with Chu Xian's words.

Chu Xian didn't want to argue about a high ground on this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's ask Mr. Su, do you know the details of the Six Alliances?"

Su Wenzheng secretly thought to test me?He chuckled at the moment: "The so-called Six Leagues are actually six chambers of commerce. The theory of the Covenant is just a way of saying. On the surface, there is no such thing as the Six Leagues. The old man knows a thing or two about their details. They They are Deruixiang, Baishoutang, Yaowangguan, Longquan Temple, Shangwumen, Qingyan Pavilion, these are the six major chambers of commerce, referred to as the six alliances."

Chu Xian nodded repeatedly when he heard that, obviously Su Wenzheng's assassination was not for nothing, and he still had a very thorough understanding of the Six Leagues.

Even Chu Xian didn't know much about the details and composition of the six alliances, but only knew that such an alliance of chambers of commerce existed.
