Chapter 1056 The storm is coming!

At noon the next day, in the backyard of Ye Mansion

An Miaoyi is enjoying lunch in a good mood. With the thawing of her relationship with Ye Mingsheng, there are fewer rumors in the mansion·························

She also took the opportunity to deal with a few traitors and let the maids and servants in the mansion know what would happen to those who betrayed her. In this way, her control over the mansion was restored to its previous level.

In addition to this good news, An Miaoyi discovered that although Ye Mingsheng sent people to capture the thugs and assassins under her control, he did not confiscate the properties under her name. This gave An Miaoyi some hope!
Although under Ye Mingsheng's order, she was willing to accept the punishment without any hesitation and hand over the properties under her name in exchange for Ye Mingsheng's forgiveness!
But to be honest, An Miaoyi also felt a little painful in her heart. After all, she spent a long time to buy those things, and under Ye Mingsheng's order, all of them disappeared in an instant!

If possible, An Miaoyi still very much hopes to retain these industries. The existence of these industries will also make it very convenient for her to do some things!

So now that she saw that Ye Mingsheng did not immediately send people to confiscate these properties, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a little hope in her heart again, hoping that Ye Mingsheng would let her go this time...

After lunch, An Miaoyi planned to go to Ye Cui's yard to take a look. This incident made her realize that if something really happened, Ye Cui was the most powerful and no one else could do it!

Therefore, An Miaoyi also planned to consolidate the relationship between her and Ye Cui, and she heard that Murong Qingwu went to Ye Cui every day in the past few days, so she had to be prepared and not let Murong Qingwu take advantage of her.

Just as An Miaoyi finished dressing and was about to get up and go to Ye Cui's courtyard, Qi Qige hurriedly walked into the room and reported in a low voice:

"Madam, Wang Xuecheng has brought people from the Coordination Office to search our three pawnshops in the east of the city! In addition to the pawnshops, people from the Coordination Office have also gone to our gold shop, cloth shop in the city, and the fertile land outside the city!"

"This Wang Xuecheng is ruthless. Not only did he take control of the warehouse, he also demanded that we hand over our account books. Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to make friends with him, but he was beaten up by Wang Xuecheng's men instead!"

Upon hearing the news, An Miaoyi's heart suddenly tightened. Although she had prepared to lose all these when Ye Mingsheng gave the order that night, she still couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when she really heard this situation!
However, An Miaoyi, who was very sensitive to politics, realized the problem and immediately asked Qiqige:
"Why is it Wang Xuecheng who brought people from the Coordination Office? Hasn't Wang Xuecheng been transferred to the Legal Affairs Bureau? What is Huo San doing?"

Qiqige answered without hesitation:

“Director Huo is said to have gone to Liaoyang on official business. As for why Wang Xuecheng was able to mobilize people from the General Coordination Office, I have no idea. I think the Marshal must have given him an order…”

An Miaoyi couldn't help but frown when she heard this answer. Although Wang Xuecheng's surname was not Ye, he was regarded as a member of the Ye clan because he married Ye Ling. An Miaoyi had been actively trying to win over the Ye clan, and with Jingren being the natural bond, the Ye clan members were also more friendly to An Miaoyi.

Therefore, although Huo San and An Miaoyi were very close, the relationship between An Miaoyi and Wang Xuecheng was also very good because of the Ye family relationship.
This also led to the fact that when Huo San and Wang Xuecheng were fighting openly and secretly in the Coordination Office, although Wang Xuecheng had some evidence that Huo San was working for An Miaoyi, he never exposed the matter!

Therefore, An Miaoyi was very surprised that Wang Xuecheng ruthlessly confiscated her property. She felt that even if Wang Xuecheng had Ye Mingsheng's order, he would not do this!

Just when An Miaoyi was confused, a maid quickly walked into the room and handed a small note to An Miaoyi.

An Miaoyi opened the note with a serious expression, and the next second a look of horror flashed across her beautiful eyes!
When Ye Mingsheng punished her that day, she had a premonition that Ye Mingsheng would not punish only her, but would definitely punish Huo San and Cui Shao as well!
But what An Miaoyi never expected was that Huo San was actually dead························
Although the note said that Huo San died suddenly of a serious illness in Dajing County on his way to Liaoyang for work, An Miaoyi, who was familiar with Ye Mingsheng's style of doing things, knew very well that this must be Ye Mingsheng's work!

Thinking of this, An Miaoyi felt a chill on her back and sat down on the chair in a daze!
She really didn't expect that Ye Mingsheng would be so cruel this time and directly ordered the killing of Huo San. After all, as Ye Mingsheng's henchman, Huo San had always been very competent. He would bite whoever Ye Mingsheng told him to bite!
And now that Huo San is dead, it makes sense that Wang Xuecheng is so ruthless now!

Although Huo San is dead, Ye Mingsheng still needs a henchman who can bite people for him. Although Wang Xuecheng has made mistakes before, his loyalty and ability are impeccable. Moreover, he was the deputy director of the Coordination Office before, and he is very familiar with the operation of the Coordination Office!
So it is obvious that Wang Xuecheng is the best candidate to replace Huo San and become the new director of the Coordination Office!
Wang Xuecheng himself was obviously aware of this, and he also knew that the reason why Huo San died suddenly of illness was largely related to himself!
So Wang Xuecheng was so ruthless to himself now, there was no doubt that he was making his attitude clear to Ye Mingsheng, indicating that he, Wang Xuecheng, would never be indecisive like Huo San, and that he, Wang Xuecheng, was only loyal to Ye Mingsheng, and no one else··························
After trying to figure out the key point, An Miaoyi couldn't help but shake her head slightly, secretly regretting why she didn't restrain herself before!
Now, not only did he throw away Huo San, who was willing to get close to him, but he also made Wang Xuecheng completely distance himself from him. In the end, he also lost all the property he had accumulated over the years.

Although An Miaoyi felt very regretful in her heart, she also knew that there was no regret medicine in the world, and it would be of no use even if she regretted it at this moment!

The only thing she was worried about now was that Ye Mingsheng only intended to kill Huo San this time to make an example of him, or that killing Huo San was just the beginning!
You must know that this incident not only involves Huo San, but also Cui Shao!

Originally, An Miaoyi was not worried about Cui Shao's safety. After all, Cui Shao was the Central Envoy of the Central Council and the "Prime Minister" who was second only to the emperor and above all others in the Fengwu Army.

In addition, Cui Shao has been the chief person in charge of the logistics of the Fengwu Army over the years. The Fengwu Army was able to capture cities and territories at the front, and Cui Shao can be said to have made great contributions!

Therefore, although An Miaoyi realized that Ye Mingsheng was very likely to punish Cui Shao, she was not worried about Cui Shao's safety!

However, with the death of Huo San, An Miaoyi realized that Ye Mingsheng might raise the butcher knife again this time...
An Miaoyi knew that the relationship between Ye Mingsheng and his uncle had always been very delicate. Ye Mingsheng had always used and guarded against his uncle, always carefully guarding against his uncle's power becoming stronger in the Fengwu Army.

But now that the general situation in the world is clear and the Fengwu Army is about to seize the world, the role of my uncle has been greatly reduced!

Isn't there such a sentence?
When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. Perhaps now is the chance for Ye Mingsheng to get rid of the donkey! Thinking of this, An Miaoyi looked a little anxious. Although she was very sad about Huo San's death, she would not stand up to oppose Ye Mingsheng's decision!

But Cui Shaoke is completely different. Cui Shao has always been her biggest supporter. There are too many connections between her and Cui Shao. Once Cui Shao falls, she, An Miaoyi, will inevitably be implicated!
Apart from that, Huo San's death was enough to make her anxious. If Cui Shao fell again, she would be even more isolated and helpless in the Fengwu Army. By then, if the Murong family took the opportunity to make trouble, there might not even be anyone to speak for her in the end!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi became very anxious. Although she really wanted to help Cui Shao overcome the difficulties, An Miaoyi knew very well that once Ye Mingsheng really had such an idea, she would not be able to stop him at all!
After thinking carefully for a moment, An Miaoyi's eyes gradually became firm, and then she walked out the door with her maid.

She did not intend to inform Cui Shao of her idea. She knew that what she could think of, Cui Shao, who was always cunning and treacherous, could also think of this...

·······························
·······························
Shortly after An Miaoyi received the news of Huo San's sudden death, the news spread throughout Yijing, and many people celebrated for it.

After all, to them, the Coordination Office led by Huo San was like a ghost hiding in the dark, making them always nervous when doing things and not daring to be careless at all!
And now that Huo San is here, they can finally relax!

However, they were not too happy too soon, because a few days later they learned that Wang Xuecheng would take over as the director of the Coordination Office!
As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things. Wang Xuecheng, who returned to the General Coordination Office, started these three things very vigorously. He directly joined forces with the Youyan Censorate to launch a large-scale investigation throughout Youyan.

Not only did they destroy several underground money houses, gambling dens and brothels, but they also uncovered more than fifty corrupt officials. For a time, the entire Youyan and the central government were in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger.

At this critical juncture, Youyan Governor Liu Zhengyue came to Cui's house one night. Upon hearing the news of Liu Zhengyue's visit, Cui Shao fell into silence.

Looking at his silent father, Cui Zibo asked:
“Dad, if you don’t want to see him, I will say that you caught a cold last night and it’s inconvenient for you to meet guests, and refuse him…”

"More than a dozen people have been arrested recently in Liu Zhengyue's administration. As the governor, he must be very anxious. He must have come to you to discuss this matter!"

"And the Marshal doesn't seem to want to stop this storm. There's no need for us to offend him at this time!"

Cui Shao pondered for a moment, then instructed Cui Zibo:

"Let him in!"

Although he didn't understand his father's thoughts, Cui Zi Bo had no choice but to accept it.

A moment later, Liu Zhengyue came to Cui Shao. Just as Cui Zibo thought, the governor of Youyan was in a hurry. When he saw Cui Shao, he didn't bother to greet him and said:
"Master Cui, this Wang Xuecheng is really too much. Now everyone below is in a panic. No one knows who will be arrested next!"

"In addition, Wang Xuecheng abused torture to get a confession in order to win credit for the Marshal. A chief official of the Youyan Provincial Government has died in the prison of the Coordination Office. His family is now making trouble in my office!"

"The people in Youyan's Provincial Government are very excited about this matter. A group of people even wrote a letter in blood, saying that they would go to Ye's house to meet the Marshal!"

“I managed to stop them with great difficulty, but now they are very agitated and the situation is very complicated…”

As he spoke, Liu Zhengyue was about to take out a blood letter to show Cui Shao, but Cui Shao didn't even look at the so-called blood letter, but looked at Liu Zhengyue with indifference!
As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite. Cui Shao was very clear that facing Wang Xuecheng's investigation, Liu Zhengyue was ready to fight back. He did not want to sit and wait for death, but wanted to drag himself and Wang Xuecheng into a fight to the death!
Cui Shao looked at Liu Zhengyue carefully and asked:
"Are you clean?"

Facing Cui Shao's question, Liu Zhengyue immediately stated that he was absolutely honest and incorruptible. However, after saying this, feeling Cui Shao's gaze, Liu Zhengyue felt a little guilty and did not dare to look Cui Shao in the eye.

Cui Shao ignored his answer and continued to preach:

"We all know that Wang Xuecheng is just an official. His actions were tacitly approved by the Marshal. Do you think you can change the Marshal's will?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhengyue did not speak, but his expression was very gloomy. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Master Cui, I'm afraid that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong! Even a three-year-old child knows the truth that the lips and teeth are cold!"

Cui Shao smiled and shook his head and said:

"I, Cui Shao, have done things with a clear conscience!"

“Sir Liu, I can only advise you to be lenient if you confess, and severe if you resist, and do your best to win the Marshal’s forgiveness…”
