Chapter 624 Suspicious Clouds
However, for Qiu Moyang, the governor of Luzhou, who was enjoying the banquet in the private garden, this night was an out-and-out fright.As the chief official of the city, he was originally invited to go to Puyuan in the west of the city to have a private meeting with several cronies of the three divisions and four envoys of the city.

The main topic they want to discuss is about the newly-introduced in the Jianghuai area, who is in the limelight and has a great reputation for a while, the "monstrous arrest" and "Xunjiang Yushi".Because wherever it went, all monsters were destroyed, and at the same time, it also brought more or less shocks to the local officialdom.

Just during the period when they were ordered to pacify the Yunmeng bandit chaos in ten days, Jiangling Mansion was liquidated and rectified three times in a row.Except for the current Shaoyin of Jiangling Mansion and the three divisions and four envoys of Jingnan Road, who were not directly implicated, there were hardly many yamen and sub-administrations that could stay out of the matter.

The local palace envoy assigned to Jiangling was even more implicated because of lax control, and was forced to commit suicide to apologize.I thought this person would stop for a while because of this, and enjoy a good life in Jiangling Mansion.As a result, a paper posted by the imperial court granted him more authority and began to tour the various roads along the river.

So within half a month after the start of the river patrol, the "Jingjiang Liu Clan"'s conspiracy broke out in Raozhou; There are as many as a dozen people who have been prosecuted for crimes or dismissed for dereliction of duty; there are more other senior officials and officials directly under them.

Although most of them are the results of conclusive evidence, they can't help but affect and affect many big figures in Beijing and China, even wealthy Gaodi, honored ministers and dignitaries, secretly operating money bags and other sources of income.It even shocked the surrounding areas or various local governments along the river.

Therefore, as the Jiangbei territory separated by a river, Hefei City, Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road; also near the water tower, was the first to get some news about Raozhou.In fact, in order to prevent this big trouble, Governor Qiu Moyang has already decided to strengthen the local cleanup.

In fact, compared with the wild waters and mountains of the Tu nationality, Jingnan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hunan and other southwestern provinces; the land of the Huaihe River was developed and cultivated by the ancestors of the Han family for generations. fertile ground.Therefore, it is not only densely populated, rich in local products, but also full of humanities.

It also has more financial and material resources to maintain local order and peace.Coupled with the relatively flat terrain and the convenience of vertical and horizontal water transportation.Therefore, in the midst of the world's upheavals after the celestial change, Huaixi has more spare capacity than other states and counties to deal with it.

During this period, many animal disasters, catastrophes, and abnormal incidents broke out. Before they deteriorated to the point of reporting to the court and requesting assistance, the local government spared no effort in manpower and material resources, recruiting and hiring all kinds of experts to help out, and forcibly extinguished or suppressed them.But Qiu Moyang felt that this was not enough.

However, this requires the cooperation and acquiescence of the local government office headed by the three divisions and four envoys of the same city; and then they can justifiably gather in the city, and those wealthy merchants and aristocratic families can recruit and ask for cooperation.Before the "Xunjiang Yushi" came to pay attention, he calmed down the place.

Of course, in this process, the various interests and powers involved, the conditions and costs of compromise and exchange need to be discussed carefully.Therefore, Qiu Moyang, who had initially reached a verbal agreement with these government representatives, couldn't help but relax and drink a few cups.

Then, he was forcibly shaken awake by the chief staff member who left him in the office.Because someone broke into the yamen overnight to report to the officials, saying that he was a representative of the wealthy merchants in the city, and Wang Boxian, the owner of Mishi in Luzhou, was also one of the default recruitment targets, and was assassinated during a banquet at home.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the assassin who was mixed up with the dancers threw a flying blade through his chest; he died of serious injuries on the spot.Because the incident happened suddenly and there were many VIPs on the scene, under the chaos, although there were many nurses and servants, they were still escaped by the assassins.

Therefore, in addition to the officials and officers who have dispatched inspections, sealed off, and maintained the scene; Qiu Moyang, who is the governor, also needs to be ordered and expressed his position in order to identify the identities of the guests who were restrained at the scene.However, when he put on his outfit, he got another bad news.

The Honzhou Cao Army, which had just been expanded and strengthened in the south of the city, suddenly set out to take action in the city without any public orders.What's worse is that the other general of Caoying who is in charge of leading the team is also Qiu Moyang's serious brother-in-law; this makes his scalp tingle.

His brother-in-law is not a particularly outstanding person, even a bit mediocre and ineffective; it was only because of the severe balance of various aspects that he pushed him to his current position; and arranged for him to be in charge of practical affairs. The deputy candidate is just in case.

Therefore, Qiu Moyang didn't even have time to drink the tea soup for sobering up, so he personally led a group of followers and officials, and rode horses along the street to Yunshaofang in the east of the city.When he was sweating profusely while running on horseback, he also bumped head-on into the cao army who had fled from the long street one after another.

I saw that these Cao soldiers who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of aliens, and also extinguished small and medium-scale animal disasters, were devastated and frightened by the news. They fled from both sides of the street without returning.

Such a situation made Qiu Moyang even more frightened and worried.But fortunately, along the way, military officials and Fanghe from other government offices kept rushing over to join him; at the same time, they also brought news that the Unity Battalion in the city was ordered to dispatch.That made him bite the bullet and decide to move on.

After a while, Qiu Moyang saw the scene of the incident that led to Cao Jun's defeat.On the spacious street hundreds of paces long, there were soldiers dressed as Cao Jun lying all over the ground.Most of them were crawling and moaning with their heads bleeding, while the rest were desperately fighting for their lives.

On one side of the wall, there stood as many as dozens of one-piece silver bright armors, armored soldiers holding long spears, halberds, axes, hammers and long knives, secretly monitoring and guarding the Cao army all over the place.Just the sudden turn of their eyes makes people feel full of chilling and suffocation.

Even more startled, the dozens of riders who were leading the way suddenly stopped involuntarily, and then crashed into each other with neighing and rolled into a ball.Seeing this scene, Qiu Moyang's heart shrank violently; he wished that he had never been in the past and wanted to turn around and pay back.

However, with the sound of running and trampling in the night, more people came behind them, but they pushed Qiu Moyang to the forefront of the faint confrontation like riding a tiger.He also had to bite the bullet and asked loudly: "Who are you! Why are you here!"

The next moment, one of the soldiers was seen silently raising a roll of flags, which suddenly flew out and nailed to the ground at the street intersection, and then fluttered into the air along with the night wind.I saw that under the light of the fire on both sides of the street, the words "Xunjiang" and "敉平" were impressively reflected...

In an instant, the people he saw on the street were in an uproar, and the governor Qiu Moyang even had a loud bang in his head; as the saying goes, he will come whenever he is afraid, and the thing he was most worried about happened.The person known as "Live Tai Sui" in Beijing really visited his rule unannounced.

And it easily defeated the Cao army of the city that was dispatched for some reason, that was thousands of soldiers in a whole battalion.At this moment, Qiu Moyang's back was drenched with sweat; because he could already predict the fate and ending of his brother-in-law who sent troops for no reason.

In fact, at the same time that the big flag was clearly seen, amidst the noise behind the street team; many people had already moved away.Perhaps from this moment on, no one from the three divisions and four envoys in the same city will come to support him, or come forward to share the pressure and responsibility for him.

Although in a sense, the Cao army in this city is more under the control of the transshipment department; but once the identity of the opposite party is confirmed, he is not surprised that the Huaixi transportation department will try to get rid of the relationship.Such a state governor who insisted on expanding the armed forces of the Cao Army and the Unity Army will be the first to bear the responsibility.

At this moment, even if it is only a street away, and it is just a piece of Luantai Garden that is flying around and constantly moving, he can't care about it.How can the life and death of a mere local big businessman compare to the prospect of being summoned to a family with a bad fortune, and even the possibility that the whole family may be implicated?
Even so, the distraught Qiu Moyang, relying on his many years of official career, tried his best to suppress his fluctuating emotions, and before falling on his horse, he raised his hand to the armored soldiers on the wall and said, "But Xunjiang Shangxian is in front of you. Please see Qiu Moyang, governor of the state; I hope you can report on your behalf..."

Afterwards, one of the armored soldiers nodded, jumped up from the wall in an instant, and disappeared into the inner courtyard with a few ups and downs while wearing an armor but as light as a swallow.After a tormenting half-sound, the words reappeared: "The official ordered to let the state guards enter to hear the news."

Qiu Moyang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the words, since he is willing to meet, at least there is still a chance; what he fears most is that the other party will secretly find someone else, that is irreversible.Afterwards, he crossed the street and found that those soldiers who were motionless had just passed out.

As the saying goes, it is the basic principle of "promotion, wealth, and death of wife", but when encountering political crises and risks, it is also necessary to cut and clear.At least Qiu Moyang is quite satisfied with his wife who has been with him for more than ten years, so he wants to try to save him.

For example, can the price of being forced to abandon a wife become the result of just changing a brother-in-law.In any case, sending troops in the state city without an order, trying to surround and attack the Xunjiang Yushi and his party who visited unannounced, this is also a terrible crime that has not been seen in the court for a long time.

In fact, at the same time that this man began to patrol the river eastward, as long as the officials with a little backing were more or less warned and notified.And what Qiu Moyang got from the head teacher of Xuezheng was to cooperate with him as appropriate within his duties, but he must not get too involved with it.

Then Qiu Moyang, who entered the inner courtyard, immediately saw his brother-in-law who was tied up in the courtyard, and the lieutenant as his deputy; the disgraced man had suffered a lot, but at least he was still alive.He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief again, and said in anger, "You bastard, who ordered you!"

"Isn't it you!" The brother-in-law complained softly, but he broke his defense on the spot: "Brother-in-law, you asked Du Lushi to bring over the printed handwriting, and asked me to seal the whole street first, and arrest and hide in the For the demon party in Wenfangyuan, and to fill in the follow-up official documents, I thought about bringing in more people."
