Chapter 598 Revenge
After careful study, the relationship between Yu Lang and Cui Youbo is very far-fetched.

It would be too far to say that they are relatives, Yu Lang suspects that Cui Youbo may not even know that he has such relatives.

But this twisted relationship makes Yu Lang very passive——

If there is no such person as Guo Jizu, Cui Youbo has the final say in Shanzhou, then he can rely on this relationship to get the care of the new governor.

The problem is that in addition to Cui Youbo, the nominal boss, Shanzhou also has an actual "Emperor of Earth".

It's not that Yu Lang underestimated Cui Youbo, it's that Guo Jizu's roots in Shanzhou are too deep. He has been operating for more than ten years, and even the Qingshi Road in the city bears the imprint of Guo's family.Even if Cui Youbo is a mighty dragon, he can only curl up aggrieved when he reaches the boundary of Huangshui.

Coupled with the conflict between the two today, Yu Lang predicted that these two would not be able to get along peacefully.

Since they wanted to fight, the two would divide their camps. At this time, the relationship between Yu Lang and Cui Youbo was highlighted.With this relationship, he definitely cannot rely on Guo Jizu, because even if he does, he may not be willing to reuse him.

Therefore, Yu Lang could only choose to stay on Cui Youbo's side, but, but he really didn't dare to go against Guo Jizu.

Alas, I don't know, if he didn't go with him just now, will Guo Jizu hold grudges and take revenge!

While Yu Lang was thinking wildly, Cui Youbo greeted the two of them in a gentle and polite manner.

He looked at Liang Ke first, sized him up for a while, and then smiled and said, "This is Liang Sigong, right? A descendant of the Liang family in Shanzhou!"

Liang Ke was taken aback, he really didn't expect Cui Youbo to recognize him at a glance without anyone reminding him.

You know, this is the first time he saw himself. Although he introduced himself when he entered the government office, when he walked up to the governor, he did not introduce himself alone. boss.

Cui Youbo was able to do this, presumably because he had done the investigation in advance, and he most likely had detailed information on all the officials in the Shanzhou boundary.

Well, this new governor is really not simple, Liang Ke's heart flashed a flash of joy, it seems that he did not choose the wrong person just now!
While thinking in his heart, Liang Ke lowered his hands and saluted, "A certain Liang Ke has met Governor Cui."

Cui Youbo nodded, then turned his head to look at Yu Lang, and said with a smile: "This is the Yu family's Saburo, right? Hehe, before leaving Beijing, when I went to Luoyang to say goodbye to my uncle and brother, I met my sister-in-law. She knew I was coming Shanzhou, specially entrusted me to bring a lot of Luoyang soil ceremonies, and I will send them to the mansion later."

After saying that, Cui Youbo turned his head and explained to Liang Ke: "Hehe, Liang Sigong doesn't know yet. Yu Sanlang and I are related by marriage, and the elder sister-in-law is Sanlang's cousin."

Yu Lang didn't know how to describe his surprise that Cui Youbo actually knew him, and even acted so intimately.

He is not a three-year-old child, so he doesn't believe that his cousin Wang brought him some soil rituals, what Uncle Cui said is just to show that he knows his relationship with him.

It's not that the Wang family is snobbish and looks down on relatives from poor families, but that the relationship between the two families is too far away, and the distance between the two places is so far that they don't give each other gifts even during the New Year.It's basically that kind of dispensable relationship.

Therefore, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to specially entrust her younger uncle who came to take up the post to give a gift to a cousin who is out of reach.

Cui Youbo continued to chat: "...so, Saburo Yu and I are also cousins. Well, I am 30 years old (false age), if I remember correctly, Saburo is 29 years old, I am older, Saburo should call me A cousin."

God, he even knows my age?

Yu Lang quietly wiped off his sweat, and sighed secretly that he really did not choose the wrong person, no matter whether Cui Youbo will continue to be strong in the future, just judging by his "intent", he will not lose to Guo Jizu.

"Inspector Cui, oh no, what my cousin said is right. Back then when my cousin's eldest son took the weekly exam at the age of one, I went with my aunt to watch the ceremony,"

Now that he had made enough gestures, Yu Lang also climbed up the pole, and said with a smile: "It's been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye, I don't know if my cousin and my cousin's husband are okay?" When he was watching the ceremony, he was still a two-year-old Little kid, I can't even remember what Wang looks like.

However, this does not affect him to use this matter to get close.

Cui Youbo was very satisfied with Yu Lang's performance, and his smile became more easy-going. He called Liang Sigong again, and the three of them went to the wing behind the lobby together.

Liang Ke and Yu Lang followed Cui Youbo into the inner room full of excitement and some apprehension. What they were excited about was that they had chosen the right person just now, and Cui Youbo was a reliable backer.

What they were worried about was that Cui Youbo would ask more sensitive topics in the next conversation.

For example, what is Guo's usual behavior?
Another example is the close relationship between someone Guo and Zhechong Mansion?
Another example is Guo's various secrets in the state government?
Another example is who owns all the income of the governor now?
……

But what surprised the two of them was that Cui Youbo didn't talk about Guo Biejia, but simply asked the state capital recently (specifically referring to the period from the time the former governor left office to the present) what's important There are some issues that do not need to be kept secret, such as the official business and the autumn harvest of the three counties under the rule.

Liang Ke was the head of the six divisions, so he should be the one to answer these questions. Enduring the doubts in his heart, he explained in detail the situation of the state government and the three counties under his rule.

Finally, after thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "There is one more thing. Before resigning from office, the former governor temporarily handed over the position under his name to his subordinates. Look, when are you free? Your subordinates Take you to see it?"

The so-called job distribution field is one of the "salaries" given to officials by the Datang government.

Generally, according to the grade, a piece of land of different sizes is selected within a hundred miles near the area where he works to be distributed to the official, and then rented out at a rate of six liters per mu, and the rent obtained belongs to the official.

This is the so-called "granting land according to the product, and renting out the land according to the plan".

As for how much land can be allocated, it depends on the rank of the officials. The governor of Shanzhou is from the fourth rank, and he should be allocated seven hectares of land.Before resigning, the position must be left to the next successor.

Cui Youbo is the new governor, so he will continue to hold the position of the former governor.

The reason why Liang Ke mentioned this was to remind Uncle Cui that all the best fields near Huangshui were in the hands of Guo Biejia, but the land under the governor's name was extremely barren. It is to let him feel Guo Biejia's dominance and strength more intuitively.

Perhaps, Cui Youbo can also use this to burn his second fire after taking office.

Cui Youbo didn't seem to care, and said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm new here, and there are still many things I need to know. I'll just let you take care of these general affairs for the time being."

Being accepted by the new governor and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Liang Ke did not feel much joy in his heart.Because he really couldn't understand, what a good excuse it was to start from the position field, and it was related to his own income, why didn't Uncle Cui care at all?

Well, although the gentry admired the so-called nobility and disdain to mention money and other things, but as a person who has worked in the state government for several years, Liang Ke is very aware of the importance of money.

Seeing Cui Youbo being so 'noble', Liang Ke had an ominous premonition in his heart: Well, Cui Youbo wouldn't be someone who only knows how to be pure and noble, but doesn't care about suffering in the world, right? !

After talking about some trivial matters, Cui Youbo served tea to see off the guests.

Liang Ke left the state office with a full heart and a somewhat disconsolate expression.

But Yu Lang was full of joy and ordered the boy to go to the governor's mansion in the back street to get the earthen ceremony that Wang 'gifted' to him, and then went home happily.

"Su Chun, Liang Ke is a bit cautious, but the question of the position he raised is indeed an excellent starting point. Why do you ignore it?"

After seeing the two of them leave, Cui Mingbo came out from the inner compartment, sat cross-legged opposite Cui Youbo, and asked a little puzzled.

Cui Youbo raised his hand to pour Cui Mingbo a cup of tea, and shook his head slightly: "I know, but these things are trivial matters, I have more important things to do."

In the past one or two years, he has been reading the ancestral letters and reading notes of Cui and Xiao, and he has benefited a lot.

Among them, one of the ancestors of the Xiao family who was an emperor once said that if a place is to prosper, it must first establish a set of strict order. It's all empty talk, and the benefits can't be maximized.

The current situation in Shanzhou is somewhat similar. Cui Youbo had already considered it on the way. He did not follow the normal procedures to come to Shanzhou. His qualifications, experience and age are not enough. To achieve his goal, he needs to adopt some unusual means.

And he had a hunch that the emperor would not let him stay here for too long.

In order to obtain effective results in a short period of time, he must pinpoint the most critical crux, and then strike swiftly.

What Liang Ke said about the division of land, as well as issues such as warehouses and public interest that he did not mention, if Cui Youbo investigated in detail, he would definitely be able to find out many problems, and maybe even make Guo Biejia suffer.

But these things are trivial. He believes that as long as his second fire is burned out, not only will the order problem in Shanzhou be solved, but these small problems will also be solved.

Cui Mingbo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's important? What do you need me to do?"

Cui Youbo was about to speak, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by a low voice, from the sound, it seemed that someone from outside was asking Hanmo, who was guarding the gate.

Cui Youbo turned his head and raised his voice: "Han Mo, who is it? What happened?"

Hanmo hurriedly replied: "Lang Jun, Cui Defang asks to see you."

Cui Youbo couldn't help frowning, Cui Defang is the person in charge of the security of the state yamen, he came suddenly, obviously there is something wrong with the yamen.

Without thinking too much, he said loudly: "Cui Defang, what's the matter? Come in and tell me!"

After a while, the door was pushed open, Cui Defang strode in, clasped his fists in salute, and then said a little angrily: "Mr. Lang, something happened. After Liang Ke and Yu Lang left the government office, they were on the street Encountered bandits committing crimes and was stabbed on the spot..."
