Hua Qingfeng glanced at Ye Xiaotian, seeing Ye Xiaotian's encouraging gaze and relaxed and natural expression, her nervous mood relaxed a little.
With a clear cough, he announced to the servants who surrounded him curiously: "This county informs you, in view of the mistakes made by Xu Xiancheng during the maintenance of the post road, and in view of the importance of the post road in the transportation of military funds of our court, It is so important that from now on, the county will be fully responsible for all the affairs of the post road!"
The common people didn't react too strongly to this, and who was in charge of them didn't work the same way. Moreover, although Huazhi County has been vacated in the county government, the ordinary people are not very clear about this matter. What they know is that Hua Qingfeng is the elder of the county, and the elder wants to personally supervise the post on behalf of the second master. Repair, isn't that reasonable
Of course, the yamen servants Xu Boyi sent to manage and supervise the servants were quite surprised, but no matter how arrogant their master is, it doesn't mean that they dare to challenge the authority of the county magistrate, let alone... standing next to him It's Ye Dianshi.
Ye Dianshi was smiling like a tiger with a smile on his face, and his smile was a bit malicious, his eyes were sly, as if he wished someone would jump out. It's a pity that Ye Xiaotian was disappointed, no one dared to stand up, when Ye Xiaotian looked over, the people who were looking at him all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Ye Xiaotian was very satisfied, he waved his hand and said, "Boss Zhou!"
Bantou Zhou stepped forward and said loudly: "The humble job is here!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "From now on, your people will fully take over the management of Yilu!"
Zhou Bantou said: "I obey the orders!"
Ye Xiaotian said to the servants again: "Brothers who were sticking to the post road, you have worked hard, now you can go back, the lord is merciful, I promise you three days off, take a rest, take a bath, after three days Go back to the yamen and listen to others!"
Xu Boyi is not here, how dare those people call names to this famous donkey history, what if he plays donkey again? Once this guy got kicked, even Xu Xiancheng was kicked until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There are no donkeys in Guizhou, and now, only tigers can surrender, but Xu Xiancheng...is it a tiger
The subordinate officials and yamen servants who had been guarding the post road obediently handed over their powers. The postmen at the post station also knew some of the infighting in the county government. When they saw this posture, they knew that the county magistrate had come to seize power. They have nothing to do with the station, they just watch the fun with a smile.
Hua Qingfeng has always been hanging on one heart, and when he saw it going so smoothly, he captured the opponent's fortress without bloodshed, and then quietly let go of the heart he was holding. It's a pity that Ye Xiaotian really didn't want to let him relax, just as he let go, Ye Xiaotian spoke again.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "My lord, the handover has already been made on the post road, so it's good to leave it to the head of Zhou. Our county magistrate Xu doesn't know about this yet, we have to go to the post to inform him."
Ye Xiaotian is very reassured about the post road, he has already contacted the Gaoli Village, and the mountain people in the Gaoli Village, including their village owners, are all loyal people. Once they see someone right, they will spare no effort to support them.
What's more, this matter is also beneficial to them. Who doesn't want to make more money? Previously, Xu Wang and Zhao Yicheng took the opportunity to let the chariot and horse dealers who took refuge in themselves profit from it. Although they didn't deliberately offend them, it also affected them objectively. For the interests of both public and private, they will fully support Ye Xiaotian.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Xiaotian's news arrived, the young master of the Gaoli village brought reinforcements in person, and they were on their way now. If Xu Boyi wants to encourage others to put down the pick, Ye Xiaotian is not afraid, he has enough manpower to take over.
To use this tough method, Ye Xiaotian and Hua Qingfeng really need to join forces. Hua Qingfeng has a righteous reputation, but he has no power and connections, so he can't get things done. If he comes by himself, will anyone listen to him? What should Xu Boyi do if he really puts down the pick? What's more, Xu Boyi probably didn't put down the pick, but strongly opposed it. What can he do? Roll up your trouser legs to build the road, even if he is willing, can he alone ensure that the post road is smooth
And what he doesn't have, Ye Xiaotian has! If you want to pick someone up, I have someone to stand up for! Power is accompanied by corresponding obligations, and only by fulfilling the corresponding obligations can one grasp the corresponding power. But Ye Xiaotian has no status, as a subordinate, do you want to deny the boss's arrangement? On his own one-third of an acre of land, he can do whatever he wants, but he has no right to interfere in the government affairs of the entire Hu County. This is Xu Boyi's greatest confidence.
But what would happen if Ye Xiaotian and Hua Qingfeng could "unswervingly" join hands to complement each other
When Hua Qingfeng heard that he was about to confront Xu Boyi head-on, he became timid again: "Ye Dianshi, this... this is unnecessary, why don't you send someone to the post station to tell him, let's go back to the Yamen first."
"Go back to the yamen? How can it be done! The county magistrate, from now on, you have to stay on the post road until the end of the war in Yunnan!" Ye Xiaotian lowered his voice and said, "Even if it's just a show, my lord, you can't leave now. Otherwise, this credit will still belong to Xu Xiancheng. You will never get back your power!"
Hua Qingfeng hesitated and said: "But... once there is a conflict... Ye Dianshi, this county thinks..."
Ye Xiaotian raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "Master is going to the post station, the guard of honor is guiding you!"
"Boom! Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The seven gongs sounded, which meant that "military and civilians should avoid everything." The magistrate had no choice but to hold his breath and get into the sedan chair. The county post station is like a clay bodhisattva.
Good men and women believe in the Bodhisattva and will follow the teachings of the Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva will not personally give them any inspiration or guidance. The spokesperson of the Bodhisattva is the preacher. Hua Qingfeng is playing the role of the Bodhisattva at this moment, and Ye Xiaotian is undoubtedly the one with the tongue. The abbot of the lotus flower is the great monk.
Wang Ning was still in the temporary signing room set up by Xu Boyi at the post station, thinking about the possible strategies Ye Xiaotian might use with Xu Xiancheng. Although they are already familiar with Ye Xiaotian's temperament and behavior, they never imagined that Ye Xiaotian would have the courage to rob class and power in such a blatant manner. They have tried their best to imagine what Ye Xiaotian would do, but they basically haven't deviated from the usual methods and means in the officialdom.
Analyzing from this angle, the two conspirators came up with countless possible means of seizing power for Ye Xiaotian for a while. Circles, detours, tricks, waiting...
As a result, the two also came up with various corresponding methods. They have gained the upper hand now, and they are not afraid of this kind of open and secret fighting. This process is very long, and it will take a year or two to implement it all. At most, he will be the leader in Hu County for another year and a half. Even if he doesn't leave, it's time to leave. Who will cling to him
What's more, once the war in Yunnan is over, Xu Boyi will have made great achievements in rewarding his achievements, and then he will have another important bargaining chip. It will be difficult for the already weak Huazhi County to overwhelm him! Difficult as the sky! Of course, what they are really afraid of is Ye Xiaotian, but Ye Xiaotian is their subordinate, Ye Xiaotian has the ability, but wants to challenge them, but he doesn't have the name and power, the most appropriate method is to borrow Hua Qingfeng's name.
Of course, this is not to say that Ye Xiaotian can't deal with them without Li Huaqingfeng. There are often cases of small fish eating big fish in officialdom, but it will take longer. Only by finding a big backer in the high-level yamen and grasping enough handles for the two of Xu Wang can they be brought down. What excuses do Xu Boyi and Wang Ning have for him to arrest
The two were discussing, when Li Yuncong rushed in like a rabbit chased by a dog, out of breath, and said, "Big... big... my lord, the big thing is not good! The county magistrate and... and Ye Dianshi came to the inn gone."
Wang Ning was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "What are they doing here?"
Li Yuncong was sweating from running. He raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a wheezing voice, "The magistrate of Hua County will be responsible for the security of post roads in person, and he will be replaced!"
Xu Boyi couldn't believe it and said: "Impossible! When did this tortoise come here so bold? Even if he is the county magistrate, how dare he completely break with the county magistrate and Wang Zhubo? Without us, Hu County can still play Do I have to turn?"
Wang Ning said gloomyly: "Don't forget, there is Ye Xiaotian!"
Xu Boyi sneered and said, "Ye Xiaotian is just a scoundrel, what can he do in the current situation?"
Wang Ning rolled his eyes, and said: "Unpredictable, this person is so bold, he acted in a big violation of the law, I really can't guess what he wants to do. In this situation, he dares to break with us completely, as long as we show some tricks The major matter of delaying the transportation of military supplies, hum! How many heads does he have enough to chop off?"
Li Yuncong said anxiously: "My lords, the magistrate is almost at the gate of the station."
Wang Ning woke up suddenly, and immediately said: "The old man is still sick at home, so I can't let him see it. The old man goes through the back door, Xu Xiancheng, no matter what means he has, you must hold your breath and use a drag formula to drag it first." They, let's discuss in detail tonight."
"good!"
Xu Boyi got up, and said with a sneer, "Old Li, let's meet the county magistrate and see what tricks he wants to play!"
The post station, like the inspection department, is a department with a relatively detached status and relatively independent powers. Apart from the county government, there is also an exclusive superior office under the jurisdiction, but they are also subordinates of the county magistrate. When the county magistrate comes, Zhao Wenyuan must also come forward to greet you.
Xu Boyi hurriedly rushed out of the signing room with Li Yuncong, and after walking not far, he saw Zhao Wenyuan rushing over. Xu Boyi stopped in his tracks, and said with a bad expression: "Zhao Yicheng, I heard that the county magistrate sent two memorials to the capital this morning?"
Zhao Wenyuan said with a smile: "Xu Xiancheng's eyes and ears are so good, that's right! Because the county magistrate wants to borrow the military station, these two memorials were signed and handled by the postman himself, why?"
Xu Boyi was furious, but the words came to his lips but he didn't say them. What can he say? People follow the rules, is it strange that they didn't inform him? Although they call each other brothers and sisters on weekdays, Zhao Yicheng doesn't sell his friendship. What reason does he have to blame
Xu Boyi snorted coldly and walked forward. Zhao Wenyuan looked at his back and smiled, and hurriedly followed him. From his point of view, he absolutely does not want Xu Boyi and Wang Ning to dominate Hu County, but he also does not want Hua Qingfeng with the background of the imperial court to gain the upper hand. The best situation is that the two sides continue to fight and are evenly matched. If the fight continues, then he has no right to interfere in government affairs, and only he, who has the power to manage the station, can play the game like a fish in water. Therefore, since Hua Qingfeng is at a disadvantage, he is very happy to help Hua Qingfeng. At this time, he is also looking forward to Ye Xiaotian's return, and he can help the county magistrate who looks like a dou to go for a ride.
However, no matter how rich his imagination was, he never thought that Ye Xiaotian did not put Hua Zhixian on a horse and send him off, but tied the cowardly county magistrate into a chariot, and drove the chariot himself, rumbling and crushing come over.
