Chapter 504 That's an Obsession

The news that the deputy governor of the Chanyu Governor's Mansion and the Zhenyuan Army envoy Guo Ziyi brought his son and daughter-in-law to visit the new governor of Liangzhou and stayed at the governor's mansion for four or five days was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which aroused a lot of excitement. Layers of ripples.

"Master, what should we do now? This Guo Duhu rushed over in such a hurry, he was clearly here to support them. As a result, everyone in Liangzhou had to change their attitudes. The things that were agreed before are only I'm afraid I won't count!" Mrs. Zhan said anxiously.

Zhan Sima also had a gloomy face.

"I knew that Cui's family had a strong background in Chang'an, and the governor's wife has expanded his network of contacts because of her good medical skills. But I never thought that this network is so strong! In this way, I really have to reconsider."

"Otherwise, master, let's bear with it! Anyway, we have survived for so many years, and we can continue to endure these three years. Since he is so capable, he will definitely be promoted again in three years. When the position is vacant, the whole Who else in Liangzhou is qualified to take over besides you?" Mrs. Zhan whispered.

Zhan Sima suddenly sneered.

"Three years? Hehe, in just three months, someone can suddenly be transferred from the outside to grab the position that has been assigned internally. Who knows what will happen in three years? I have worked hard for more than 20 years, that's right. , but this time it was my turn, but I was snatched away. Why? I don’t accept it! Where is he going? It’s not good for him to come to Liangzhou to grab my position? The entire Hexi Corridor, Monan There are so many good places in Mobei, all of which are important border defense towns. He wanted to pick one at random, but why did he want to snatch it from me? I just can’t swallow it!" Zhan Sima became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally yelled, a picture His face was contorted with anger.

That's how people are.Knowing what you can't get, you naturally don't dare to expect extravagantly, just do your own duty with peace of mind.But once he knew that the thing was about to belong to him, he had already regarded it as his own property, and he had already stretched out his hands and waited for the fruit to fall into his hands. In the end, in the blink of an eye, the fruit was given to him by someone else. Picked up!How does this make him not angry?
That's his!his!
Why do others grab it?What qualifications do others have to grab it?
If you snatch his things, you will cut off his future, and you will kill him!Since that person dared to take his life, he would fight him desperately!It's that simple!
The fierceness of the Qiang people can be seen.

Mrs. Zhan was terrified when she saw this. "Master, don't get excited, don't get excited. Now this person is not ordinary, if we confront him head-on, I'm afraid the end will be miserable! You must know that in the places where he was before, all the people who opposed him It didn't end well."

"I know, of course I won't confront him head-on." Zhan Sima suddenly put away his anger, and then his lips curled into a slight smile.

"In Liangzhou, I'm not the only one who has a grudge against him."

Not two days after Guo Ziyi left, there was a looting incident against the merchants in the west of Liangzhou City.A caravan of 50 people and more than a dozen vehicles was looted, and more than half of the caravan was killed or injured. The end was very miserable.

By the time the government heard the news and rushed over, the group of murderers had already run away carrying the goods.

The survivors were taken back to the government for questioning, and they only said that they were a group of aliens.At that time, because they appeared suddenly, and their faces were wrapped in cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and there were not many striking features left, so it was impossible for people to check.In recent years, there have been too many cases like this in Liangzhou Mansion, less than one out of ten of them can be solved, and most of them are gone.

But this time, the members of the caravan lost a lot of money, and the leader of the caravan had some relationship with Chang'an.After hearing the news from Chang'an, they wrote a letter to Liangzhou, telling the prefect of Liangzhou to solve the case in time and recover the losses for the caravan.

The prefect of Liangzhou held the letter and wanted to cry, so he could only desperately pat the yamen servant and go out to search around.However, what could be the result of this?
Half a month later, he cried and knelt down in front of Cui Pu.

Cui Pu looked at the man kneeling at his feet, lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Since it happened in Liangzhou territory, the governor of Liangzhou will naturally not ignore it. How about it, the governor of Liangzhou will respond to the incident tomorrow. The officials are all convened, and everyone discusses the countermeasures together."

"Thank you, the governor! Thank you, the governor!" The magistrate was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted to thank him.

But when he got out of the Governor's Mansion, he pulled the corner of his lips lightly, showing a sneer.

At night, Zhao Liu took the initiative to come to Mu Jiaojiao.

"Miss, there are rumors going around outside, that Mr. Lang promises to solve the case of robbing the caravan within a month, and to get back all the stolen money!"

"So fast, the news has already spread so much? It seems that the prefect just went out, and the news was spread everywhere!" Cui Pu snorted coldly.

"It's just creating pressure for you! It's the second time." Mu Jiaojiao raised two fingers.

When he first came to Liangzhou, Cui Pu's skills were spread in teahouses and restaurants, making the people place endless hopes on this new governor.As a result, he remained silent for a long time.This time, such a big case happened again in the territory under his jurisdiction, and he promised to intervene in this matter again, so the news naturally spread again.

If Cui Pu doesn't make some achievements this time, his image in the hearts of the people will be greatly compromised.

Even, in the eyes of his subordinates, his previous achievements would be marked with a question mark, making people wonder if they were the result of the help of the Cui family?After all, the places he governed before were all dominated by culture and education, and they were all places that the Cui family's influence could penetrate.But in border areas like Liangzhou, the influence of the Cui family has been greatly reduced.

It is said that there are no more than three things.In fact, as early as the second failure, those people were going to despair of him, right?
Cui Pu twitched the corner of his mouth. "One month is one month. If I can finish it, that's my ability. If I can't finish it, what can they do to me? It's not my task. Right to accuse."

That being said.

However, you are different!
Mu Jiaojiao secretly sighed in his heart.

That being said, Cui Pu posted posts to everyone in time.

The next day, all the invited people arrived, and everyone was still very polite to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu didn't talk too much with them, so he directly explained the details of the case, and asked, "What do you all think about this?"

"I don't dare to take my opinion, but since Inspector Cui asked, I have to say a few words." Zhan Sima immediately stood up.As Cui Pu's deputy, his behavior was very reasonable, and he also showed his support for Cui Pu's work in a timely manner.

He carefully took out a scroll and handed it over: "The next official has been in Liangzhou for more than [-] years, and has experienced no less than a hundred cases like this. All the facts, processes and results of the cases are written in it. Prefect Cui, please read it. "

He contributed such important information immediately, which is enough to show his eagerness to solve the case.

Cui Pu nodded, took the things, and praised him a few words by the way.

The magistrate then recounted what he had done during this period of time.Others also spoke out, speaking their minds.

A group of people gathered together and chatted lively for a long time before they finally broke up.Cui Pu kept Zhan Sima.

Zhan Sima is obedient and respectful to Cui Pu even when they are alone. "I don't know the governor, do you have anything else to say to the next official?"

"No explanation, but the governor has heard something in the past two days, and I want to check with Zhan Sima." Cui Pu said indifferently.

Zhan Sima nodded hastily: "Just tell the governor what's going on, and the next official will know everything."

"I heard that the governor, in fact, before leaving office, the previous governor promised you that he would nominate you to take over his position?" Cui Pu asked.

Zhan Sima's body visibly froze, and then he said with a dry smile: "It's just a few jokes we made after drinking, and it can't be taken seriously. Governor Cui, please don't take it to heart, I have never had any dissatisfaction with you. Sincerely respect!"

"Hey, look at you! The governor just wanted to check with you to verify the truth. Are you so frightened?" Cui Pu came over and patted him on the shoulder, "According to what you said, it's true. ? Speaking of which, the governor really stole your position."

"Cui Inspector, please don't say that!" Zhan Sima knelt down in fright, "The junior official came from a humble background, and he was already satisfied with being the superior Sima from a small official, but he never dared to covet the position of Inspector. That The matter is really just a few jokes after drinking, the officials have already forgotten!"

"So, in fact, you don't want to be the governor at all?" Cui Pu asked.

Zhan Sima's lips trembled a few times. "It's impossible to say that you don't want to get promoted and get rich. It's just that lower officials also have this self-knowledge. Knowing what kind of material they are, they never dare to have too much wishful thinking."

In other words, he still really wants to get promoted and make a fortune.

Cui Pu laughed. "Anyway, the governor owes you this matter. It's just that the governor was not familiar with the affairs in Liangzhou before, and he never thought of being transferred here to do things. He didn't intend to rob you. Your position. But now that I know about it, I must give you a certain amount of compensation. You say, after a while, I will recommend you if there is a vacancy for the post of governor in a certain place, how about it?"

"Inspector Cui, you are really disgruntled! I really don't have any wishful thinking about the position of governor!" Zhan Sima was about to cry.

Seeing this, Cui Pu cured him and gave up for the time being.

Say a few more words to appease him, and then order someone to send him out.

But as soon as he turned around, Zhan Sima's pitiful look that was about to cry or not disappeared immediately.

"Want to use the position of governor of another state to compensate me? I have to be willing to ask for it!"

After sending this person away, Cui Pu also scolded lightly. "After talking for a long time, I got three truths."

"Which three sentences?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

"In the first sentence, I did rob him of the position of governor. In the second sentence, he wanted to be the governor of Liangzhou, and he was going crazy! In the third round, he only wanted to be the governor of Liangzhou, and he didn't want to be the governor of other places. "

"Then you are miserable." Mu Jiaojiao said casually.

For Zhan Sima, the position of governor of Liangzhou is not just a higher official position, it has become his obsession.Now, except for Liangzhou Inspector, it's useless even if you give him a higher official position or richer compensation, he wants the position of Inspector!No negotiation!
So in order to achieve this goal, he must do everything possible.

"Then let him come! Just use whatever means you can, and I'm afraid he won't succeed?" Cui Pu snorted coldly, "I didn't owe him anything in the first place, and I have already made it clear to him. If he If you still insist on this, I will naturally not be polite to him."

"Then just wait and taste what it's like to run into walls!" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.
