son-in-law

Chapter 904
At about [-] o'clock, the arrogant Cao Juren went to Fengzhou Mansion to report.

Tang Tingyue, governor of Fengzhou, had never heard that the imperial court was going to send a censor here, so he couldn't help being a little skeptical.He looked at the letter of appointment carefully, and then asked about "Cao Yushi".

Su Yu's answers were fluent and flawless, and finally handed over the "New Deal Plan" to Tang Tingyue.Tang Tingyue did not comment after reading it, and asked Sihu Guan Lin Xian to accompany Cao Yushi to preside over the New Deal, and also called Si Bing Shi Huang, saying that he would choose elite soldiers and strong generals for Cao Yushi to listen to.

As a result, half an hour later, Lin Xian went somewhere, and Shi Huang transferred a team of [-] after a while.

Su Yu looked up and saw a group of "elite soldiers and strong generals".It is said to be the 22th team, but in fact there are only [-] people, old and young, all of them wear their caps crookedly and squint their eyes, their uniforms are worn out, and their bodies and spirits are lazy. Great.

The Hanzhong area is relatively complicated, with six states under military control, and the leftmost Wuzhou belongs to Chang'an Road, which is purely the territory of the Tang family.

The other five prefectures are also known as the Hanzhong five prefectures, which belong to Shannan West Road and are managed by Tang Yu, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan West Road.Logically speaking, this should be the territory of the Xuanjia Army, but it is actually controlled by the Tang family.

Speaking of which, this is an enclave of the Xuanjia Army, and only five prefectures have to guard the important border towns, so the Zhao family of the royal family does not care about the Tang family.The local tax is calculated according to the territory of the Tang family, and the imperial court and the Tang family share half and half.

In the territory of the Liang Dynasty, in the territory to which the clans belonged, the clans themselves would send people to supervise them, and the imperial court would also send people to supervise them.This will form two forces in each state, and most of the officials of the two forces are not pleasing to the eye.

For example, at this time, Tang Tingyue, Lin Xian, and Shi Huang's attitudes towards Cao Yushi can all be described as "cold".It is not worth making a fuss about Shi Huang being able to send twenty soldiers with crooked heads and squinting eyes to Cao Yushi.

The officials sent by the imperial court to the powerful states are usually the governor Shi, and the same is true for Fengzhou.Soon Feng Governor Shi Xuechen took the initiative to look for this "distant relative of Empress Dowager Cao", showing great enthusiasm.

"I didn't expect Cao Yushi to be so young."

Xue Chen, in his 40s, can be described as "greasy" in terms of body and appearance.He came from Xue's family in Gongxun Street, Daoguangfang, and he was from the same family as Xue Yun, a general of the ninth division of the Xuanjia Army, so he can be regarded as Kang Wang's faction.At this time, everyone knew that Empress Dowager Cao and King Kang were on the same side, so in the eyes of ordinary people, Cao Yushi and Xue Chen were also on the same side.

Su Yu pretended to be ashamed, but couldn't hide a trace of pride and said: "This is all because of my cousin."

The "cousin" in Su Yu's mouth naturally refers to the Empress Dowager Cao Yuzan.And often talk about the relatives of high-ranking officials, it seems extremely naive in the officialdom.Of course, Su Yu did it on purpose.

Xue Chen pretended to be pandering, and looked more enthusiastic, showing more hypocritical flattering smiles.

But in the next few days, no one paid any attention to Su Yu. As for the so-called "New Deal Plan", everyone seemed to be waiting to see Cao Yushi's jokes.

But Su Yu has a slow-moving energy about him, if he wants to relax, he doesn't need to pretend.In the past few days, the officials of Fengzhou Prefecture have seen an extremely lazy Cao Yushi.

This Cao Yushi came to order slowly every day, and was late four times in five days, and each time he was only late for a quarter of an hour and a half. It can be seen that this Cao Yushi is a person who loves petty gains.

This kid has neither ability nor ambition.He has no real talent and learning, and he always likes to pretend to read the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. As a result, he mispronounced three of the eight characters, which made other officials hold back their laughter and almost suffered internal injuries.

What's even more sad is that this kid doesn't have any handwriting at all, and he even has vulgar handwriting.It seems that his provincial examination results must be fake.However, this kind of thing happened to Cao Yuzan's cousin, not only did not arouse suspicion, but it was more credible.

As a relative of Cao Yuzan, he ran to the place where the emperor was far away from the mountains to dawdle.As for the so-called "New Deal Plan", wait for his grandma's great-grandson to implement it, don't count on this Cao Yushi.

And this kid is quite arrogant, after coming here, he doesn't like anyone.He was just an eighth rank, and when he saw Tang Tingyue, the governor of the fourth rank, he just nodded.His arrogance made Tang Tingyue hum and pass by.

Su Yu behaved so unbearably, but on the evening of the sixth day, Xue Chen came to see him suddenly, saying that he would hold a banquet at home for Cao Yushi and his family.Su Yu readily accepted the invitation, and asked Xue Chen to prepare more wine and meat, saying that he would take the whole family, including the slaves, to eat together.

That's what Su Yu said, and he did the same.He was so impolite that he took Mrs. Meng, her friend Hu Hui, maid Meng Xiaomao, sixty-year-old slave Huang Chengcheng, old eunuch Wu Dingyan, middle eunuch Bai Zhan, and young eunuch Tong Yu.Looking at this posture, I wish I could eat Xue Chen poor all at once.

In order to cooperate with the arrogant Cao Yushi, the little lady Meng Can also pretended to be arrogant.

Seeing that Mrs. Meng was small, young and arrogant, Xue Chen asked Mrs. Meng to find out about Meng Can's family background.Su Yu said that Meng Can is the concubine lady of the Meng family in Chengfufang, a concubine son's family.When he said this, Cao Yushi looked extremely proud.

It was inconvenient to talk too much at the banquet, after drinking for three rounds, Xue Chen invited Su Yu to chat alone.

When he came to the side room and closed the door, Xue Chen had a solemn expression: "Dare to ask Cao Yushi the truth, is the court going to touch Tang Yu?"

Su Yu was a little uncertain about what happened to Xue Chen.He has been an official here for many years, but he did not sue Tang Yu, it must have been bought by Tang Yu.If he said "yes" rashly at this time, and he turned around and told Tang Yu, then he would be in trouble.

There are so many bandits in the Hanzhong area, if Cao Yushi was hijacked and killed by bandits, this reason sounds plausible.

Su Yu didn't intend to take such a big risk here.

First of all, the pleadings received by Minyu Bus clearly listed Tang Xi's crimes; secondly, Tang Zhen also knew that Tang Xi was extremely corrupt.So Su Yu came here just to put on a show. When Su Yu accuses Tang Yu in the future, he will say that he has disguised himself as Cao Yushi and conducted field inspections in various government offices. This way, it will be more credible to present the pleadings, and Tang Yu will not be able to deny it.

Of course, the reason why Su Yu ran so far was mainly to avoid the tax reform in Gyeonggi Province, and secondly, there was another unknown reason.

Su Yu would rather lose some money than take on the porcelain job of tax reform in Gyeonggi Province.I have offended too many people, and I have had enough.If another group of "Zhang bandits" popped up and wanted to kill Qin Wang and Qin Wang's family, I really don't know how to live in the future.Could it be like Cao Yuzan, hiding at home all day?

Su Yudao: "My cousin said, let me come to Hanzhong and be an official for a few years, and then I will be transferred back to the capital."

Xue Chen nodded deeply and said: "Well, that's right. Cao Yushi has a bright future as an official, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. When Cao Yushi makes great achievements in the future, Xue will still count on Cao Yushi to give some advice."

Su Yu looked arrogant, and nodded indeterminately: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Xue Chen rolled his eyes, and suddenly knelt down on the ground: "Cao Yushi don't lie to Xue."

Su Yu got up quickly and stretched out his hand to support him: "Oh, why did Lord Xue say such a thing?"

Xue Chen refused to get up, but instead kowtowed, with a sad expression, and said eagerly: "To tell the truth, Xue was forced to join forces with that Tang Yu. He once put a knife on Xue's neck to force him to sign a false testimony. From then on, I will You must listen to him. But Xue is a loyal minister of the Liang Dynasty. Xue was entrusted by the late emperor, and he never forgets the kindness of knowing you! Xue has endured hardships and endured for many years in Fengzhou. Someone can help me report it! Cao Yushi is the queen mother's confidant, can't he also make decisions for Xue?"

Su Yu shook his hands suddenly, pushed Xue Chen away, took two steps back as if avoiding the plague god, turned sideways and said: "Cao came here as an official, just as a springboard, and he will return to Beijing as a Beijing official in the future. Don't expect to cause a stir in Hanzhong." What kind of turmoil, I think Master Xue has found the wrong person."

After saying that, Su Yu walked out.

Xue Chen said sharply: "Cao Yushi, are you really not going to avenge Xue? You are not afraid that I will read your book in the future? Although you are a distant relative of the Queen Mother, if Xue is impeached with all his strength, I miss your reputation. There will also be stains."

Su Yu sneered and said, "Rather than being involved by you, I don't want to offend Lord Jiedushi!"

After all, Su Yu resolutely walked out, but Xue Chen grabbed him.

Su Yu turned his head and looked at Xue Chen again. The old boy suddenly smiled and invited Su Yu to sit down again.

Xue Chen turned around and took out a box from the cabinet. The box was one foot long and wide, and it was quite heavy. When he opened the lid, he saw a golden box of gold coins.

Xue Chen lowered his voice: "Master Jiedushi said that as long as Cao Yushi is willing to help, this box of gold will belong to Cao Yushi."

Seeing Jin Zi, Su Yu pretended to be pleasantly surprised, stood up immediately, frowned and became puzzled: "Cao just came to Fengzhou, and he hasn't visited Liangzhou to visit Lord Jiedushi yet, how did he know I'm here?"

Xue Chen smiled mysteriously: "From Chencang to Fengzhou, Mr. Cao must rest at the post station, right?"

"Oh, so that's the case..." Su Yu smiled knowingly.

Xue Chen also smiled.

Su Yu crouched in front of the box, picked up the gold coin, and held it in his palm, his eyes were full of greed: "Mr. What can I do for him?"

"Hehe, easy to say, easy to say."

Seeing Su Yu's greedy face, Xue Chen felt relieved, put the lid on the box, and put it back in the cabinet.

Su Yu frowned: "Master Xue, what does this mean?"

Xue Chen pulled out a document from his sleeve, put it on the table, and nodded.

Su Yu leaned over to take a closer look, and found that it was a letter of rebellion, cursing the Liang Dynasty for being fatuous and corrupt. Officials in the Hanzhong area hoped to unite and elect Tang Yu as King of Hanzhong to rebel together.

Xue Chen approached and said in a low voice: "As long as Cao Yushi makes a copy and signs it, Cao Yushi will be one of us."

"This..." Cao Yushi showed panic, "But..."
