Fu Yusheng shook his head and said: "There is no evidence. It's just that after Mr. Gongsun was caught by Zhu Lingyue's subordinates, he was kept in secret detention and interrogated in secret. Even if Mr. Gongsun was wronged, he is still there to avenge his grievances."

Chu Huan asked: "If someone really wanted to wrong Mr. Gongsun, who would it be? And if Mr. Gongsun is beaten as a traitor, what good will it do to those who wronged him?"

Old Master Su caressed his long beard and sat upright. Qian Boyi and Hong Shengtao looked at each other, but did not speak immediately. Fu Yusheng looked around and saw that the other people did not intend to speak. He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "My lord, Some things should not have been said, I have no proof, even if I said it, it would be suspected of talking nonsense, it's just...!"

Chu Huan immediately waved his hands and said with a smile: "Senior Fu, don't think so. This is in the side hall. I met a few of you today. It's just that the junior and the senior have tea and talk, and there are other scruples... You have something to say, but it doesn't matter, even if If you make a mistake, everyone won’t be too concerned.”

There was a slight look of relief on Fu Yusheng's face, and he said: "My lord, I don't know if you know that half of the officials in Xiguan Road today are Zhu Lingyue and his henchman Baobao."

"Zhu Lingyue?" Chu Huan didn't change his face, "Senior Fu, you mean Governor Zhu of Tianshan Road?"

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng said: "Before the Xiliang army entered Yanmen Pass, there were three roads in the northwest, Xiguan was the strongest, and Tianshan Road was the weakest... But after the Xiliang soldiers came, Lu Xuan abandoned the city and fled. Xiao Huanzhang disappeared, but only Zhu Lingyue led the army out. At that time, Xiguan was in chaos, and the soldiers and the people were divided, but Zhu Lingyue also reorganized the army, gathered the rout troops, and built a line of defense... It was his deeds, but it was Let him become famous, and the soldiers and civilians in the Northwest will treat him as if he is, even we, back then, thought Zhu Lingyue was a great hero...!"

"Then what happened next?"

"General Yu Buqu came to the Northwest to take charge of military affairs, but most of the government affairs were handed over to Zhu Lingyue. Zhu Lingyue's power spread throughout the Northwest." The old man finally sighed: "Your Excellency should have heard that Zhu Lingyue was once called the Three Ways Governor, regarding the situation in the northwest, the court first relies on Yu Buyi, and the second relies on Zhu Lingyue."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I've heard a little bit about it at this time, and I've also heard of the names of the three governors."

"Governor Lu Xuan of Xiguan abandoned the city and fled. Later, he was arrested by Shenyiwei. Governor Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan was said to be sick and unable to get out of bed. He handles the political affairs." The old man said slowly: "Yu Buqu is only in charge of military affairs, Zhu Lingyue is in charge of government affairs and logistics, when Yu Buqu was still there, Zhu Lingyue had already begun to eliminate dissidents, and at that time there were impeachments almost every two days. The papers were submitted to Beijing, and the imperial court had great trust in him. Every paper was uploaded, and it would not be long before an official in the northwest would be dismissed. However, in the name of meritocracy, he was in the three states of the northwest. The prefectures and counties have all "inserted" their own manpower...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Grandpa, could it be that there are many officials arranged by him in the prefectures and counties of Xiguan?"

"My lord, think about it for yourself. Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan is not a good person, and he has a deep foundation in Beishan, but Zhu Lingyue still uses various means to depose many officials in Beishan. Many prefectures and counties in Beishan have installed many of Zhu Lingyue's old minions. Beishan has Xiao Huanzhang under his control, he can do this, the situation in Xiguan is much easier than Beishan." The old man stroked his beard and said: "Almost the whole area of ​​Xiguan fell, Lu Xuan fled, and seven or eight out of ten of the officials under him also died. Even if they escaped, many people really turned to the Xiliang people and became traitors. It is said that Zhu Lingyue specially gathered a group of righteous men from the rivers and lakes to form a "traitor" hall. Those who are highly skilled and daring...!"

Before the old lady finished speaking, Fu Yusheng had already sneered and said, "At first, I also thought that this hall of eliminating traitors was serving the country loyally, but now it seems that Governor Zhu probably had a plan long ago. "Tang, it seems to be for the eradication of "treacherous" people, but I think it is to win over strangers. After Xiliang soldiers came in, many strangers of various religions and ranks would often assassinate Xiliang soldiers, but they were all a bunch of mobs , but after Zhu Lingyue built the Anti-Rape Hall, all those strangers from the Jianghu defected to the Anti-Rape Hall, and it is said that there were hundreds of people joining in before and after the "Evil-Evil" Hall...!"

Chu Huan asked: "Is this hoeing hall used to assassinate Xiliang people?"

"Except for the Xiliang people, the most important thing is to assassinate those Qin officials who have defected to the Xiliang people." The old man said: "However...now it has become a tool for Zhu Lingyue to collect official evidence."

"tool?"

"Precisely, before Yu Buqu passed away, the Hoe'traitor Hall had already started to search for criminal evidence against officials for Zhu Lingyue. At that time, a large number of officials were dismissed, and the biggest one was Lu Xuan." The old man explained: "Hoe" The treacherous hall examined many of Lu Xuan's criminal evidence, and later Lu Xuan was escorted to the capital by the Shenyi guards to be executed, and Zhu Lingyue handed over the criminal evidence collected by the treacherous hall to the capital for the Shenyi guards."

Chu Huan nodded slightly.

"The anti-traitor hall has collected many criminal evidences of officials in Xiguan, and now six or seven out of ten officials in the prefectures and counties of Xiguan have been replaced." They are all new officials, and of the six divisions, only the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are still in charge of the previous ones. Almost all the officials in the other four divisions have been replaced. Officials have changed a lot."

Fu Yusheng followed closely and said: "My lord, what happened in Beiwanglou today is actually the work of those people, headed by Dongfangxin, most of those people were recommended by Zhu Lingyue, and they formed a party. My lord is new here. They That kind of courtesy was intended to give your lord a disgrace...!" After a pause, "My lord, Mr. Gongsun was originally the magistrate of Yuezhou, and his prestige in Xiguan back then was not inferior to that of Governor Lu Xuan, and even though Lu Xuan is a mediocre person, However, there is one thing that is not badly done, and that is to reuse Master Gongsun, and let Master Gongsun do many things...!"

Chu Huan sighed softly: "In fact, being in a high position sometimes doesn't require much talent. For those in a high position, the ability that is most needed is to be good at judging people, being good at employing people, and being able to recognize and employ people. He is a capable person." After a pause, he said, "It's a pity that Governor Lu is a little timid...!"

"Your Excellency is right. Lu Xuan's good use of Lord Gongsun is one of his political achievements." The old man said: "Gongsun Chu is a man of talent, and speaking of his knowledge of people, he deserves it. He used to conduct official assessments. The policy is to conduct an assessment of officials every two years, so there were still many capable officials in the prefectures and counties of Xiguan...!"

Fu Yusheng finally said at this time: "Master, in fact, it is precisely because of this that Master Gongsun will be wronged."

Chu Huan raised his hand and said, "How did Senior Fu say that?"

"Zhu Lingyue is proud of himself. He has always regarded himself as the governor of the three provinces of the Northwest. Now that the people of Xiliang have retreated, he is reluctant to let go of the power in his hands." Fu Yusheng obviously has a lot of opinions on Zhu Lingyue, "If Lord Gongsun is not labeled as a traitor , then Lord Gongsun is a hero against the enemy, and once Lu Xuan dies, the most promising person to succeed Lu Xuan as Governor of Xiguan is naturally Lord Gongsun."

Chu Huan agreed and said, "That's not bad. If Gongsun Chu hadn't been charged as a traitor, with his talent and prestige in Xiguan, he would really be the most suitable candidate for the governor of Xiguan."

"If Lord Gongsun is the governor of Xiguan, Zhu Lingyue wants to dictate the military and political affairs of Xiguan. Xiguan, many of the officials in the prefectures and counties of Xiguan Road today are related to him. Dongfangxin, who holds military power, was a direct descendant of Zhu Lingyue before, and now Dong Shizhen, the magistrate of Yuezhou, was the head of the Department of Household Department of Xiguan before, but now he is Governor of Yuezhou, without Zhu Lingyue's support, he would not be able to take this position."

"Oh?" Chu Huan asked curiously, "Is Dong Shizhen the former head of the Department of Household Affairs?"

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng clenched his fist, "Speaking of which, Dong Shizhen was promoted by Master Gongsun back then. If Master Gongsun had not promoted Dong Shizhen, it would be impossible for Dong Shizhen to enter the Sixth Division of Fucheng and become the head of the household department, but Master Gongsun was wronged. Not only did he not complain for Lord Gongsun, but he colluded with Zhu Lingyue and his gang...!" At this point, the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

Chu Huan was silent for a while, and finally asked: "In addition to Gongsun Chu, a group of officials will be executed this time? Are those officials also from the former Xiguan?"

"Actually, most of the people who were executed along with Lord Gongsun were officials who were previously promoted by Lord Gongsun." Fu Yusheng said: "The notice said that besides Lord Gongsun, there are thirteen other officials who will be executed together. The case was tried and finalized a month ago, and then the case was sent to the capital, and it was the Holy Majesty who handed it over to the capital's Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval, and it has been approved and executed."

Chu Huan was thoughtful, and smiled slightly: "It seems that I have just arrived at Shuoquan to take up my post today, and I will see that I will be beheaded by officials tomorrow...!"

Fu Yusheng couldn't help but said: "My lord, the beheading of Mr. Gongsun is a day chosen by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. They don't do it early or late, but they wait until tomorrow. Don't your lord think that they did it on purpose?"

Old Master Su coughed twice, and Fu Yusheng also knew that under his agitation, he couldn't help but say many things that shouldn't be said in front of him, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, but felt at ease in his heart. Today, the four major families of the seven surnames in Xiguan came here without restraint, but said some heartfelt words, which made Chu Huan quite satisfied. My attitude is very friendly. As the head of the Fu family, Fu Yusheng is definitely not a person who easily expresses his attitude at his age and status, and he must be very cautious when speaking, but today he can speak with his heart open. To be able to show that these words have been held in Fu Yusheng's heart for a long time, and to be able to tell himself what was held in his heart, Chu Huan has keenly grasped that the seven surnames of Xiguan have already regarded him as a backer.
