Chapter 1094 Meeting the Marshal!

Under Murong Yuliang's puzzled gaze, Wang took out two letters and began to speak:
"Today, my family received two letters. One was sent by Lao Jin from Liaoyang, and the other was sent by Yi Jing's daughter..."

When Murong Yuliang heard that Lao Jin sent him a letter, his eyes dimmed a little. However, when he heard that his daughter Murong Qingwu, who was in Liaoyang, sent him a letter, his eyes regained some brightness.

Wang continued:

"I read the part of my daughter's letter to me, but I didn't read the part to you, sir!"

After saying that, Wang placed the two letters on the table. Murong Yuliang hesitated for a moment and then immediately started reading. He read the letter from his daughter Murong Qingwu word by word. Murong Yuliang's expression changed slightly, and a hint of fear seemed to emerge in the depths of his eyes.

After a moment, he put down the letter and pretended to be calm as he spoke to his wife Wang:

"Qingwu told me that she and Kexin are living well in Yijing and are very happy every day. She asked her parents not to worry about her. What did she say in her letter to you?"

Wang hesitated for a moment and said:
"It's similar to the letter I wrote to you, Master. Qingwu always likes to report good news but not bad news. Even if she has suffered any grievances, she will bear them all by herself in her heart!"

At this point, Wang couldn't help but shook her head, then seemed to remember something and continued:

"But Qingwu wrote to me saying that she had a dream on October 30th, in which she dreamed that she would have both a son and a daughter in this life. Master, do you think this is good news? It would be great if Qingwu could give birth to a son for the Marshal!"

“Although Ke Xin is a good girl, she is just a girl. She will not be able to inherit the great achievements of the Marshal in the future…”

Hearing his wife say this, Murong Yuliang's eyes lit up, thinking of Wang's confirmation:
"Did Qingwu really tell you this in the letter?"

Wang nodded and continued;

"Really! Qingwu told me in the letter that her dream was very real and her premonition was very strong. The next day, October 31st, she even went out of the house to the Guanyin Temple in Yijing to make a wish!"

Murong Yuliang smiled and said:

"Qingwu is a blessed person. I believe she will get what she wants, and God will bless her!"

"Yes! Our Qingwu is so good, Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely protect her!"

After chatting with his wife Wang for a few more words, Murong Yuliang sent Wang away, closed the door, sat on the armchair, took out the letter sent by his daughter Murong Qingwu again, and read it word by word!
Knowing that the lackeys like the Internal Guards of the Coordination Office are omnipresent, Murong Qingwu had already agreed with her father Murong Yuliang on a set of secret codes to convey various confidential information when she married Ye Mingsheng and entered the Ye Mansion!

And in the letter that had just been sent, this set of secret codes appeared. On the surface, the meaning of the letter was that Murong Qingwu was telling her father that she and her daughter Ke Xin were living well in Yijing, and asked her parents not to worry about her!
But in fact, Murong Qingwu was conveying a message to Murong Qingwu that was related to the life and death of the Murong family...

The content of this message is very simple, only five words, and these five words are - he is tracking!

Although the message was very brief and did not specify who he was referring to or what he was investigating!
But Murong Yuliang's thoughts were the same as Mingjing's. It was obvious that the man referred to in his daughter's letter was Ye Mingsheng, and the investigation was undoubtedly about Murong Zhengshan's assassination in Jiangnan!
Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. When Murong Zhengshan planned this matter, he felt that something was wrong!

However, at that time, Murong Zhengshan's plan was perfect, and if it succeeded, the results would be enormous. Not only would it bring down An Miaoyi, but it would also help him make his daughter his legal wife. So Murong Yuliang acquiesced to Murong Zhengshan's plan!
However, I never expected that the worst thing has happened. If the Marshal is really investigating this matter, then a series of events that have happened recently seem to have an explanation!
First, his nephew Murong Hui, who served as the Censor of Youyan, was demoted to Anqing. Then, he himself, who was supposed to enter the central government, was unexpectedly not elected. These were undoubtedly the Marshal's way of expressing his dissatisfaction with the Murong family!

Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang's heart couldn't help but tighten, and his breathing became a little rapid, as if Ye Mingsheng's awe-inspiring eyes that could see through all secrets had already appeared before his eyes...

Murong Yuliang took a deep breath to calm himself down and began to think calmly!
It is obvious that the Marshal has already suspected the Murong family, but the Marshal probably does not have any solid evidence, otherwise, given the Marshal's character, it would not be as simple as just demoting Murong Hui to Anqing and preventing him from entering the core!

If that's the case, then there's room for things to ease back!

Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang couldn't help but look towards the direction of Yijing in the north. Because his daughter had not been able to give birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng, there were voices within the Murong family about arranging for another woman to enter the Ye Mansion!

As a result, the longer time dragged on, the stronger the voices within the family became. Murong Yuliang never agreed because he felt sorry for his daughter. For this, Murong Yuliang also bore a lot of pressure within the family!

And if Murong Qingwu could really give birth to a child for the Marshal at this time, it would be a very good thing for both her and the family!
In the absence of any concrete evidence, the birth of the child might reduce the Marshal's anger and dissatisfaction!

Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang couldn't help but pray for his daughter silently in his heart. After praying, he picked up the letter left by his wife Wang and sent by Lao Jin from Liaoyang...

This old Jin is the current deputy governor of Liaoyang, Jin Zaicheng. He is also one of the old men who started the Fengwu Army in Fengzhou and has a long history in the Fengwu Army!
And this deputy governor is Murong Yuliang, who was recommended to Ye Mingsheng for promotion when he was the governor of Liaoyang. For this, Jin Zaicheng returned the favor and strongly supported Murong Yuliang's policies during Murong Yuliang's administration in Liaoyang. He was a firm supporter and political ally of Murong Yuliang when he was in Liaoyang!

After Murong Yuliang left Liaoyang and was transferred to Hebei and Henan, Jin Zaicheng also actively kept in touch with Murong Yuliang and continued to get closer to Murong Yuliang! In fact, Murong Yuliang knew very well what Jin Zaicheng was thinking. Jin Zaicheng was born in a commoner family. He was originally a quartermaster of the Fengwu Army. Later, because he was injured and not suitable for working in the army, he was arranged by Ye Mingsheng to work in the Liaoyang Provincial Administration.

Although he was born into a commoner family, Kim Jae-sung was very concerned about his family background and wanted to improve the social status of himself and his descendants.

So when Murong Yuliang, who came from a top family, appeared in front of him, Jin Zaicheng wanted to make friends with Murong Yuliang and build a relationship with him.

The purpose of Jin Zaicheng doing this is to let his son marry the daughter of Murong family and become the son-in-law of Murong family. In this way, his descendants will be related to Murong family. In this way, within a few generations, their Jin family may become an aristocratic family...

Murong Yuliang knew too well what Jin Zaicheng was thinking. Although he treated Jin Zaicheng warmly and politely and did not seem to look down on Jin Zaicheng because of any prejudice against him, in Murong Yuliang's heart, he despised people like Jin Zaicheng very much!
So let alone the legitimate daughter of the Murong family, even a daughter born out of wedlock, Murong Yuliang would not let her marry Jin Zaicheng's son!
However, Jin Zaicheng is still of some use, so although Murong Yuliang will not marry Murong's daughter to Jin Zaicheng's son, he is intentionally or unintentionally using this matter to hang Jin Zaicheng!
Jin Zaicheng saw a glimmer of hope and felt itchy in his heart, but Jin Zaicheng naturally didn't know Murong Yuliang's true thoughts, and he was still happy to be ordered around by Murong Yuliang!

This time, Murong Yuliang knew what Jin Zaicheng had written to him without even opening the envelope. He was simply asking him to help him become the Governor of Youyan!
To be honest, when the Liu Zhengyue case broke out, Murong Yuliang was quite happy. After all, Liu Zhengyue had always been very close to Cui Shao, and the position of Youyan Governor was also very critical, so he was quite happy when Liu Zhengyue was taken down.

As for Jin Zaicheng's competition for the post of Youyan's governor, Murong Yuliang was extremely disdainful. He really wanted to say to Jin Zaicheng, even if you don't have a mirror, you can always pee and look at yourself!
Your cultural level is only enough to recognize all the characters. The Marshal appointed you as the Deputy Governor of Liaoyang purely because of your seniority in the Fengwu Army and your fearlessness of hardship and your obedience!

With your level of ability, you still dream of becoming the governor of Youyan. You are really a toad trying to eat swan meat - it's just wishful thinking!

Murong Yuliang believed that the Marshal could clearly see the true nature of Jin Zaicheng, so there was no hope for Jin Zaicheng to become the governor of Youyan.

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Murong Yuliang still expressed his optimism and encouragement for Jin Zaicheng in his reply letter. After all, this guy still has value to be used. If there is a chance to poke the stupid dog up the wall, he can still let him rush to the front and bark...

Yijing, the Office of Coordination
In the comfortable and spacious room, Wang Xuecheng was fiddling with the walnuts in his hand very comfortably, recalling the deer-like eyes of Jiangnan Skinny Horse last night in his mind!

Ever since he passed the Marshal's test, he has firmly established himself as the director of the Coordination Office, and good days are beckoning him!

As the director of the Coordination Office, although he holds a low position in the Yijing court and is only a third-rank official, as the chief of the secret service who reports directly to Ye Mingsheng, he still has great power!

Therefore, even some ministers and assistant ministers had to greet him with a smile when they saw him, and did not dare to be negligent. Of course, Wang Xuecheng himself knew very well that no matter how friendly these guys seemed to be on surface, they might curse him behind his back and even want him to die!
However, Wang Xuecheng doesn't care about this. His job is to be responsible to the Marshal, and only the Marshal can decide his life and death!
In addition to official affairs, invitations from some wealthy businessmen also fly to Wang Xuecheng's mansion like snowflakes on weekdays. These wealthy businessmen who have huge wealth in their hands and are very powerful in front of others are more like grandsons in front of Wang Xuecheng, and are more filial to Wang Xuecheng than to their own father. Even if Wang Xuecheng farts, they will all lick his face and say it smells good!
If they serve him well, Wang Xuecheng would not mind helping them with a few things. Of course, Wang Xuecheng would also consider the size and nature of the matter.

As the director of the Coordination Office, Wang Xuecheng knew where Ye Mingsheng's red line was. Matters within the red line could be discussed if you showed good filial piety, but matters outside the red line would not be handled for you by Wang Xuecheng no matter how good your filial piety was or how much money you gave!
Not only will Wang Xuecheng not do it for you, he will also arrest you and report to the Marshal to prove his ability...

Recalling the lithe figure and graceful singing voice of Jiangnan Skinny Horse last night, Wang Xuecheng couldn't help but sigh that these Jiangnan businessmen really know how to have fun!

Just when Wang Xuecheng was thinking about where to go in the evening to cheer himself up, replenish his fighting strength, and what kind of things to do!
A slightly hurried voice suddenly sounded outside the door!
"Report, Director, urgent information has been sent from Sichuan and Shu!"

Wang Xuecheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he said immediately:

"Bring it in quickly!"

"Yes!"

Soon, his men handed a secret letter to Wang Xuecheng, who quickly read the contents with a serious expression!

After just the first glance, Wang Xuecheng was shocked, and his expression kept changing as he continued to look!

From the initial disbelief, to astonishment, and finally to joy and a hint of worry, in just a dozen seconds, several emotions took turns to appear on Wang Xuecheng's face.

After carefully reading the contents of the letter three times, Wang Xuecheng put down the secret letter in his hand, was silent for a while, and asked his subordinates:

"Is the source of this letter reliable? Has any corresponding information been sent over from other lines in Sichuan and Shu?"

In response to Wang Xuecheng's inquiry, his subordinate immediately continued:
"Reporting to the director, this letter was sent back by Liu Baichuan, the captain of the Liu family. There is no news from other lines in Sichuan and Shu, but if we wait for some time, there should be news soon!"

Hearing that it was Liu Baichuan who sent the news, Wang Xuecheng frowned even more deeply. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to believe Liu Baichuan and immediately ordered:

"Notify the Attendant Department that I want to meet the Marshal immediately..."
