After seeing off the Marquis, Yin Guangbo went to Wanzhou in person, found Hu Yingmao and conveyed to him the current serious situation.
After Hu Yingmao was transferred to Wanzhou and promoted to governor, his life was miserable.
Although Du Hanfei is dead and the remaining party members are leaderless, they have been huddled together year after year. How can they allow Hu Yingmao to boss him around and securely sit on the governor's post after he comes
These officials, large and small, who were affiliated with Wanzhou, did not even exchange superficial greetings. They turned a deaf ear to Hu Yingmao's orders for rectification and disdained to obey them.
When Hu Yingmao, the dignified second-rank governor of Wanzhou, first arrived, he ignored everyone he called. Whoever is ordered will not listen.
Among the officials in Wanzhou, except Pu Youren, the ancient Anhui governor, who was very respectful to him, the others refused his summons in various ways.
Fortunately, there is Pu Youren who has the backing, the soldiers, the power, and the strength to stand on his side.
Over the years that Hu Yingmao has been in Dali Temple, he has met many high-ranking officials and nobles, and no one has ever made him angry. The people under his command in Wanzhou are just treacherous, and even Yang Feng is too lazy to entertain him.
Hu Yingmao was furious, and the idea of complete rectification arose in his heart.
What is Dali Temple good at? It doesn't matter whether you are guilty or not. Even if the account books they handed in were rectified and watertight, Hu Yingmao still gave it to the governors of several states and sorted out the ten major crimes.
These leading men, the next day, became the most heinous and heinous traitors in history.
The people of several states have long been dissatisfied with the perennial oppression of these high-ranking officials. Regardless of whether Hu Yingmao and Luo Zhi's charges are true or false, they all agree with them and can't wait to raise their feet to support him again.
The people's hearts turned towards Hu Yingmao, which further aroused Hu Yingmao's passion to eliminate harm for the people. With the belief that the fish would die and the net would break, and the death be worthy, he killed several governors on the spot with thunder and blood.
All the actions seemed extremely fast, but the remaining officials sent a message to the emperor in the capital, denounced Hu Yingmao's memorial for killing the officials wantonly, but they have not received the punishment order from the capital for a long time.
The officials in Wanzhou were shocked and inevitably panicked.
Under normal circumstances, if the charges listed by Hu Yingmao were investigated in accordance with the usual practice, it would take several years, not to mention the number of officials involved in this crime. .
If all the officials in Wanzhou were killed in this way, only Pu Youren and Yin Guangbo would be left.
However, Hu Yingmao, who had beheaded several governors, seemed to only focus his anger on the leaders and did not want to involve this matter too widely.
Finally, an official guessed Hu Yingmao's intention to establish his power. He was the first to take the initiative to show his kindness, cooperated with all investigations, and handed over the accounts to make up for the shortfall.
With the first person who surrendered out of fear, the remaining people could not wait for the imperial edict of punishment, nor could they withstand the pressure of being fearfully beheaded every day, so they all surrendered to Hu Yingmao one after another.
In fact, with his passion, Hu Yingmao originally planned to kill as many as he could, but he couldn't survive anyway.
Therefore, before the execution, he wrote an indignant letter to Xiao Mubai, in which he poured out all his grievances to him.
The general idea is that he was sincerely loyal, but was tricked by Xiao Mubai into Wanzhou, a land of jackals, tigers, and leopards. Now he has done something that is in line with the people's wishes. He only hopes that Xiao Mubai can intercede on his behalf. Let the emperor reward him with a whole corpse.
Unexpectedly, after he had just killed a few people with his front foot, he could still receive a reply from Xiao Mubai with his back foot.
The letter said: There is no reward for the whole body. If you do your job well, you can still save his head.
Hu Yingmao almost cried with joy. He held the letter and read it several times, expressing his emotion that His Highness King Mo was kind and righteous and protected him well.
Ji Yong saw that the letter was soaked with his saliva. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and persuaded: "Sir, if you lick it down... the paper will melt."
Only then did Hu Yingmao stop his hand, turned to look at Ji Yong, grinned and jumped up to him, held his head in his hands, slapped a sip on his forehead, and said excitedly: "My The head is saved!"
Ji Yong lowered his head and wiped the remaining saliva on his forehead. He looked at Hu Yingmao dancing and laughed awkwardly. After laughing, he realized that Hu Yingmao didn't need to die, so his own head was also saved. Then Hu Yingmao hugged each other and cried, and started dancing happily together...
After Hu Yingmao received this letter from Xiao Mubai, he also restrained his murderous intention. Fortunately, his prestige was established, and he gradually regained Wanzhou and improved the official style.
Not even a few days into this comfortable life, Yin Guangbo came to visit.
His grin softened as he listened.
Fortunately, Hu Yingmao now has real power in his hands and ordered all prefectural and county governments to strengthen vigilance in case of emergencies.
Who would have thought that after these instructions were distributed, instead of confronting the Gu family army, they accidentally helped Huo Tianxiu a big favor and hindered Yue Feng's return to the Western Region.
Since Huo Tianxiu took the order to pursue Yuefengwan, he took two guards, Tang Lun and Shi E, and kept looking for clues while Yuefengwan was hanging behind him.
Whenever the traces were about to disappear and he thought about returning to Beijing, the spies would always find new traces again unexpectedly, making them regretful to abandon them and unable to catch up.
However, when Hu Yingmao ordered Wanzhou to be serious, Yuefengwan was unexpectedly trapped at the junction of Wanzhou and unable to enter the customs.
After all, he was carrying a coffin that even he couldn't open, so naturally it couldn't be opened for city soldiers to inspect.
Without the ability to inspect, naturally they could not be allowed into the city.
The coffin could not be thrown away and could not be taken away, which really made Yue Fengwan anxious.
Originally, he treated Huo Tianxiu like a hunting dog, tempting him to keep chasing and unable to return to the capital.
But now, with the city unable to enter, Huo Tianxiu followed closely, which made him passive.
Yue Fengwan doesn't mind massacring the entire city, but if he does this, the noise will inevitably be too loud. He can walk away with the people underneath, but even if the coffin passes this city, the next city will naturally Guarding against death, it was a long way back, but it was difficult to move even with the coffin.
Yue Fengwan had no choice but to choose to travel by water like Mr. Hou.
On the way to the village dock, he accidentally discovered Anfeng's imperial escort. The emperor's escort had planted the imperial flag, and the dredging and management could be exempted from inspection. Yuefengwan had an idea, so he killed the original imperial escort and replaced them with them. They put their flags on their clothes and entered the city openly.
At the same time, Yuefengwan also arranged for Qi Liu to find a coffin in Yizhuang. According to the original plan, he went to the village dock to buy a boat with a lot of money, and took the coffin on the waterway to lure Huo Tianxiu to continue the pursuit...
