Chapter 1195 ZZ conspiracy?
Although Chen Guangsheng's words seemed to be well-reasoned, Ye Mingsheng still keenly noticed that his eyes were a little evasive when he spoke. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also gave a look to Zhang Renwu on the side. Zhang Renwu also understood what he meant, walked up to Chen Guangsheng and started attacking with both hands!
"Bang! Bang!"
For these two slaps, Zhang Renwu swung his arms hard and hit Chen Guangsheng harder than before. After two dull thuds, Chen Guangsheng's left and right cheeks were visibly swollen·····················
But surprisingly, Chen Guangsheng seemed to be very ruthless, and he took the two slaps from Zhang Renwu without making any sound.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
"This is your last chance. Don't try to be clever!"
Chen Guangsheng hesitated for a moment but still replied:
"My master has great respect for you, Marshal. He once had a portrait of you painted at home to look up to day and night. I have also had the honor of seeing your heroic figure!"
After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was too lazy to beat around the bush with Chen Guangsheng anymore, and immediately asked:
"What is the matter with what you talked about with Zhang Huikang today? Why does the Censorate want to take such a big action?"
Chen Guangsheng was shocked when he heard this. When he really saw Ye Mingsheng just now, he was shocked. Although he still couldn't believe that Marshal Ye would go on a secret visit, after realizing through some clues that Zhang Renwu was a senior general of the Fengwu Army, he had to believe his own judgment!
But this also raised a question in his mind. Although he could bully others by relying on his status as the prefect's adviser, in front of others, but in front of Marshal Ye, not to mention him being a small adviser, even his master, the Yingzhou prefect Liu Zhurun, was no different from an ant!
So why did Marshal Ye, who was on a secret visit, want to capture himself?
And now Ye Mingsheng’s question gave Chen Guangsheng the answer to the question in his mind. He realized that his conversation with Zhang Huikang today was heard by Marshal Ye...
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Guangsheng felt extremely helpless. He could meet the legendary Marshal Ye while listening to a Pingtan at Abao Theater. He didn't know whether this was his luck or misfortune?
Just as Chen Guangsheng was quickly thinking about how much of his conversation with Zhang Huikang the Marshal had heard and how he should tell Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng's captivating gaze turned to him again.
At the same time, Zhang Renwu raised his palm again, and Chen Guangsheng did not hesitate to speak immediately;
"The root of this matter lies in the struggle above!"
"In recent years, the people of Huainan have been living in poverty under Xu Zhaojie's tyranny. However, since Governor Murong was transferred from Hebei and Henan a few months ago, everything has changed. Governor Murong stabilized prices, cleared out the remnants of the Zhennan Army, restored public order, and publicized the policies to the outside world. Some of the Huainan people who fled have gradually returned to their hometown!"
"In addition, Governor Murong also found many businesses from Jiangnan to invest and recruit workers in Huainan, so Huainan is now showing some signs of revival!"
Hearing Chen Guangsheng bragging about Murong Yuliang's achievements, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
"What does this have to do with the fight above?"
"General, the key to this matter lies in the investment that Governor Murong found from Jiangnan!"
“Each of these investments from Jiangnan involves thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. Added together, it’s even as much as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This is simply a big piece of fat meat that’s juicy and greasy…”
"But Governor Murong controls all these investments alone. No one except officials in his line can interfere. So naturally, some people are dissatisfied and say that Governor Murong eats alone!"
"Censor Sun Xiuquan and Deputy Governor Ma Jingui had previously gone to Governor Murong to raise this issue, but Governor Murong not only ignored their suggestions, he also scolded them. This conversation also caused the conflict to become public, and the rift between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger!"
Ye Mingsheng thought about it quickly and asked:
"You mean to say that this time the Censorate's actions were used by Sun Xiuquan and Ma Jingui to attack Murong Yuliang?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Chen Guangsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in front of Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Marshal, this is my personal understanding!"
"Then do you know what the prosecutor means by action?"
Chen Guangsheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Marshal, I'm just a mentor. I really don't know such confidential matters!"
Although Chen Guangsheng spoke very sincerely, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"Think about it carefully. I think someone as smart as you must know something. Even if you really don't know anything, you must have your own ideas and opinions. You can speak freely without any scruples!"
Chen Guangsheng was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he mustered up the courage to preach:
“I don’t know about Governor Murong’s previous experience, but he has always had a good reputation since he came to Huainan, so I think it will be difficult to make a fuss about him directly…”
"And Governor Murong came to Huainan alone. Apart from some guards, housekeepers, and servants, he did not transfer any trusted subordinates from Ji and Yu. Therefore, after arriving in Huainan, in order to promote the implementation of policies as soon as possible, he also appointed some local officials in Huainan.
"Envoy Murong's appointment of these people has played a positive role, but I think Envoy Murong is definitely not familiar with these people!"
After saying this, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while, then smiled and praised Chen Guangsheng:
"You are a good mentor!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangsheng quickly said:
"Thank you for the compliment, Marshal! These are all my guesses, but I really can't guess the more specific content!" Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked Zhang Renwu to take Chen Guangsheng away. Then Ye Mingsheng began to think alone in the room.
Although Chen Guangsheng spoke very tactfully, saying that Murong Yuliang was not familiar enough with the local officials, his meaning was obvious. That is, since I can't find any fault with you, Murong Yuliang, then I will deal with the people you promoted and appointed!
As long as something happens to the people you promoted, you will undoubtedly also bear joint liability. What's even worse is that the other party controls the Censorate, and once your people are in prison, I will torture them severely, force them into confessing, and force Murong Yuliang's men to turn against Murong Yuliang, and then fabricate some specious evidence, and by then, if the yellow mud falls out of your crotch, it will be shit anyway...
As for why large-scale action had to be taken at this point in time, the reason was simple. The other party knew that he was coming to Huainan for inspection, so taking action at this time was just a show in front of him.
Directly attacking Murong Yuliang's people would be too targeted and the intention would be too obvious, so large-scale anti-evil and anti-T actions must be taken to cover up their true thoughts and intentions!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he realized that he would definitely discover some ugly phenomena during his incognito visit, and he had made certain mental preparations for this, but for such a huge political conspiracy, Ye Mingsheng really didn't expect it!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng began to think about his impressions of Huainan Censor Sun Xiuquan and Deputy Governor Ma Jingui.
Ye Mingsheng's consistent attitude towards the newly conquered territories is to cleanse the remnants of the enemy, and then cooperate with the local factions to maintain stability as much as possible. After the transition period is successfully passed, Ye Mingsheng will make new personnel appointments based on their performance!
When he conquered Hebei and Henan, Ye Mingsheng appointed the localist Wang Ke as the governor. When he conquered Qi and Lu, Ye Mingsheng also appointed the localist Sun Jing'an as the governor.
Based on this idea, after taking over Huai'an, Ye Mingsheng appointed Murong Yuliang as the governor, and then successively appointed Sun Xiuquan as the Huainan Censor and Ma Jingui as the deputy governor...
To be honest, although these two people were appointed by Ye Mingsheng with his signature and seal, Ye Mingsheng did not know them very well. At least, Ye Mingsheng had never seen these two people. He only learned some information about them through some channels!
Then why did Ye Mingsheng appoint these two people?
There are two main reasons!
First, Huainan was ruled by Xu Zhaojie for several years. Although the Fengwu Army overthrew Xu Zhaojie's tyranny and liquidated most of Xu Zhaojie's followers, due to time constraints, some fish inevitably slipped through the net and the elimination was not very thorough. Therefore, in the future, eliminating Xu Zhaojie's followers will still be an important task for departments at all levels in Huainan.
Therefore, this requires the Chief Secretary, the Provincial Procuratorate and the main officials of the prefectures and counties to have little involvement with Xu Zhaojie's Zhennan Army in the past.
The current Censor Sun Xiuquan was previously a deputy Censor, but because he did not agree with Xu Zhaojie, he was marginalized in the Censorate during Xu Zhaojie's administration and had very little involvement with Xu Zhaojie. It was precisely based on this point that when Xu Zhaojie was defeated, he actively moved closer to the Fengwu Army and did his best to serve the Fengwu Army.
As for the Deputy Governor Ma Jingui, he was the prefect of Kangyin before. After Kangyin was captured by the Fengwu Army, he also actively moved closer to the Fengwu Army. When the First Division was stationed in Kangyin, he actively solved various logistical problems for the First Division. For this, the General of the First Division, Ma Zhongjun, even wrote a letter to Ye Mingsheng to praise him...
The second point is that both Sun Xiuquan and Ma Jingui, as local people in Huainan, have considerable connections and influence in Huainan.
It was because of this that Ma Jingui was able to become the prefect of Kangyin, and although Xu Zhaojie did not like Sun Xiuquan, he still appointed him as the assistant censor.
Ye Mingsheng also wants to use the connections and influence of these two people to keep Huainan stable during this transition period!
As for the personal morality of these two people, to be honest, Ye Mingsheng did hear some things from the Coordination Office and knew that these two people were not very clean!
But again, whether in Huainan or in the entire Great Zhou, the problem of personal morality is not an isolated case. Nine out of ten is not a joke. This is an inevitable problem, so Ye Mingsheng can only succumb to reality, pick the taller one among the short ones, and choose the lesser of two evils!
The world is never black and white, so even though Ye Mingsheng sometimes feels helpless, he still has to make some compromises and tolerance. After all, he, Ye Mingsheng, is just a human being, not a god who can change everything.
But if what Chen Guangsheng said this time is true, then what these two people did has violated Ye Mingsheng's bottom line, and Ye Mingsheng will not be polite to them!
The present Great Zhou is in a state of disrepair and lacks many things, but the only thing it has is people who want to be G!
However, Ye Mingsheng did not want to intervene directly for the time being. He wanted to wait for the wind to blow for a while, and then see how Murong Yuliang responded before making the final decision...

Yijing, Ye Mansion
While Ye Mingsheng was visiting Huainan incognito, Pei Zhixiu was checking Murong Qingwu's pulse. After carefully checking both of Murong Qingwu's hands, Pei Zhixiu smiled and said to the pregnant woman under Murong Qingwu's nervous gaze:
"Don't worry, everything is fine!"
"If everything goes well, in about two months, the baby will be able to meet you, Qingwu!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Qingwu also showed a smile on her face, and quickly said to Pei Zhixiu:
"Sorry to bother you so late at night, Sister Pei!"
"It's not a big deal, it's just a piece of cake! Qingwu, you can do some exercise accompanied by Ying'er and the others. It will be good for you and the child, but be careful to do it moderately and don't get too tired!"
"I remember! Thank you, Sister Pei!"
After a few simple polite words, Pei Zhixiu left Murong Qingwu's courtyard. After she left, Ying Er asked Murong Qingwu curiously:
"Madam, why did you invite Madam Pei here instead of a doctor from the medical school?"
Murong Qingwu said calmly upon hearing this:
"If someone wants to see it, then I will naturally do it for her!"
After saying this, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly, her expression full of anticipation. She really hoped that these two months could pass quickly. Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, or maybe it was the words of other people. In short, for some reason, Murong Qingwu was very confident that this time would be a different result than the last time!
Just when Murong Qingwu's face was filled with maternal love, a nanny hurried over and handed a secret letter to Murong Qingwu...
