Infinite Armory

Ye Zheng was sitting in the wing room, and after smoking less than two cigarettes, Wang Chao came.

After the wretched brother Wang Chao entered the room, he closed the door tightly. At this time, Ye Zheng motioned him to sit opposite him, and then poured him a cup of tea himself.

After Wang Mo thanked him, he took a sip from his teacup and said, "Your Majesty, if there are no accidents, our migration team should be able to enter Anzhou City smoothly before tomorrow evening. It’s time to start cleaning up the mess.”

Ye Zheng nodded after hearing this, and said: "Sir, just tell me what you have to say, don't play tricks on me, I just want to know how many stumbling blocks I will see after I go to Anzhou, and I will one by one Move them away, if you can't move them, hehe... just smash them all."

Hearing this, Wang Mo smiled lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, as early as the imperial court ordered you to go to Beiyuan County to take up your post, I secretly sent some spies to Beiyuan County. Find out the news, after all, we are far away in Cangliang Mountain, and we are not familiar with this place at all. If we don't find out the situation and situation here, it may not be so easy for you to take office, and it will be much more complicated to clean up .”[

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Zheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding his head in appreciation: "Yes, sir is really thoughtful. I didn't even think of going here, but I don't know what things sir will find out."

Wang Mo lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation in Beiyuan County is more complicated and tricky than we imagined."

Ye Zheng frowned, and said with a smile: "Qingjiang County has been turned upside down by us. A mere Beiyuan County, can it be compared to the difficulty of attacking Qingzhou?"

Wang Mo smiled, shook his head and said, "That's true, but we'd better deal with it carefully." Having said this, he paused, and then said: "According to the news I came back from the investigation, it is said that the Beiyuan County There is a person inside, named Gu Changlie, once you take up the post of governor of Beiyuan County, then he will be the biggest stumbling block in your trip."

"Gu Changlie."

Hearing this name, Ye Zheng pondered for a moment, and said, "Who is he, I have never heard of Reborn Cast Iron Song."

Wang Chao nodded and said, "I only recently learned that there is such a difficult person in Beiyuan County."

Ye Zheng suddenly asked again: "This person has a great background and is very powerful in Beiyuan County."

Wang Po nodded and said, "According to my findings, this Gu Changlie is the real controller of Beiyuan County. The previous governors of Beiyuan County, they could only rely on him and be his puppets."

Hearing this, Ye Zheng's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "What is his background?"

Wang Mo thought for a while and said, "Gu Changlie is the patriarch of the Gu family in Guzhou City, and this Gu family is the most powerful family in Beiyuan County. It is said that the ancestor of this Gu family was once a big A branch of the Lie royal family can be regarded as the royal family. This Gu Changlie was conferred the title of Marquis of Gu Cheng by the current emperor himself, and his own sister is the princess of the current Xiongnu King of the Prairie, and she is also the kind who is extremely favored. "Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, glanced at Ye Zheng, and asked: "Your Majesty, do you know which state city is the largest, most populous, and most prosperous in Beiyuan County?"

After hearing this, Ye Zheng replied without thinking: "Do you still have to ask? It must be Anzhou City, the capital of Beiyuan County. I still know this common sense. If you want to know which county capital city in the Dalie Empire Whether it is population, economy or prosperity, it is the top of a county.”

Hearing this, Wang Chao shook his head with a smile, and said, "This time, Your Majesty, you guessed wrong. In other counties, the county capital is definitely the capital city of a county, but in Beiyuan County, it is not. , now in Beiyuan County, the largest, most populous and prosperous city is Guzhou City, and this Guzhou City is the fiefdom and territory of the Gu family. In Guzhou City, the customs duties of all the residents in the city , Food tax and various taxes are collected by the Gu family members, and after the Gu family collects the taxes, they do not have to pay the court, because Guzhou is their back-seat territory. In this territory, all Everything belongs to them, and they have the right to decide the life and death of all residents in Guzhou City, so the Gu family is not only the biggest family in Beiyuan County, but they are also the most powerful local tyrants in Beiyuan County."

Ye Zheng frowned, and said with a heavy heart: "I really didn't expect that this Gu Changlie is so huge in terms of identity and background. In this way, he is indeed a difficult opponent."

Wang Mo nodded, and said again: "According to what I learned from the investigation, this Gu Changlie is ruthless and cold-blooded, and his methods are ruthless. He has colluded with many bandits in Beiyuan County, and specially dealt with those newly appointed magistrates. The newly appointed officials in the five cities, no matter how big or small, must obey him obediently and act according to his face. Robbers broke into the house, and the whole family was slaughtered. Although people were sent to investigate afterward that it was the murder of those brutal bandits, everyone who knew it knew that this was the fate of offending Gu Chenghou.

It is said that there used to be a powerful and powerful man in the emperor. Because he offended the emperor for a while, the emperor temporarily demoted him to be the governor of Beiyuan County because he offended the emperor for a while. The court is very powerful, and even the deputy commander of Lianshanguan is his brother-in-law, so after he came to Beiyuan County, he fought against Gu Chenghou many times, and there were many frictions, but he forgot, this Beiyuan County is not the capital of the empire. Although he is a mighty dragon, how could he overwhelm Gu Chenghou, a local snake? So he was not able to do so for a year. When he went to the north of the county for an inspection, he was caught by a group of people who ran over from the grassland. The Xiongnu thugs were chopped into more than a dozen pieces, and even the only son who accompanied him was divided into pieces by five horses. The elite soldiers approached the city of Guzhou, trying to get an explanation for their brother-in-law, but in the end they ended up hastily confronting each other with death. "

Speaking of this, Wang Mo's face gradually became serious, and he said: "Your Majesty, this Gu Chenghou is in Beiyuan County, and he has great influence. Whether it is grain, oil or livestock, he is involved in all walks of life. He monopolizes, and his family It is even more deeply rooted here. At present, in the entire Beiyuan County, almost [-]% of the officials are his clan members or lackeys, especially in the five major cities of Beihu, almost all the officials are his cronies who have been promoted. , and he also has secret contacts with some foreign tribes on the border. It can be said that he is the native emperor of Beiyuan County. He is in charge of everything in Beiyuan County, so now in Beiyuan County, Gu Chenghou covers the sky with one hand."

Hearing this, Ye Zheng suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly. Suddenly, his laughter stopped, two cold lights flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Covering the sky with one hand, in my territory, who dares, who deserves,... "
