Chapter 782 The conspiracy of the Supervisory Department!

Although the plan of the Inspectorate and Luo Bei was good, Ye Zhanpeng was not a fool. After realizing that the Inspectorate was targeting him, he became very cautious. Therefore, after learning that Luo Bei wanted to buy firearms craftsmen from him, he also realized that the shadow of the Inspectorate was behind this...
Ye Zhanpeng immediately warned the Robe people through an agent that if they continued to cooperate with the Inspectorate, he would immediately terminate the transaction between the two parties. Because the Robe people urgently needed firearms to fight against the Golden Horde, they also needed Ye Zhanpeng's help, so they had no choice but to accept Ye Zhanpeng's request and cut off contact with the Inspectorate.

After the line with the Luobei people was cut off, the Inspectorate still did not give up hope. They still wanted to communicate with Ye Zhanpeng directly, and expressed through an intermediary that as long as the Fengwu Army handed over the Fengwu guns and the red cannon technical craftsmen, any conditions and prices would be set.

Faced with such a very sincere offer from the Inspectorate, Ye Zhanpeng was hesitant, but ultimately chose to refuse out of caution.

After being rejected repeatedly by Ye Zhanpeng, the Inspectorate saw that the deal had failed and was preparing to investigate the agent to find out Ye Zhanpeng's identity. However, Ye Zhanpeng has always been very cautious. In order not to expose his identity, he activated two layers of firewalls in these arms smuggling.

The first layer is the middleman, the second layer is called the agent. All specific transaction steps are completed by them, while Ye Zhanpeng himself hides in the dark and controls everything. It is under the protection of these two layers of firewalls that the Inspectorate has never been able to investigate Ye Zhanpeng's true identity and ultimately has to return empty-handed.

The above is the confession of Ye Zhanpeng’s subordinate. From his perspective, the relationship between Ye Zhanpeng and the Supervisory Department ends here...
However, relying on his own experience and understanding of his old rival, the Supervisory Office, Huo San felt that the matter was far from over. The Luoan court was very coveting the firearms technology of the Fengwu Army. Although the Coordination Office had thwarted their plots time and time again, they still continued to rack their brains and use all kinds of methods to try to obtain the firearms technology of the Fengwu Army.

The appearance of Ye Zhanpeng is a great hope for the Supervisory Department, so the Supervisory Department will definitely not give up so easily.

Therefore, the reason why Ye Zhanpeng’s case involves the Supervisory Department is most likely related to firearms!
The next morning, Huo San waited for Gao Zhenghuan in his county government office. Gao Zhenghuan looked tired, but extremely excited. As soon as he saw Huo San, he reported:

"Sir, those three people have spoken! I have investigated everything!"

Hearing Gao Zhenghuan say this, Huo San also became interested and asked:
"Please tell me in detail!"

"Yes!"

Gao Zhenghuan organized his words and said:

“Director, the Inspectorate had many contacts with Ye Zhanpeng regarding arms smuggling, but the deal was ultimately rejected by Ye Zhanpeng. However, the Inspectorate did not give up on the deal, so they have been investigating the source of these arms in the Fengwu Army, and want to use this to uncover Ye Zhanpeng’s identity…”

Hearing what Gao Zhenghuan said, Huo San frowned slightly. This was all he already knew. However, just as he was about to say something, Gao Zhenghuan opened his mouth and said:
"Director, because Ye Zhan was hiding very secretly, the Supervisory Department has been working in vain. Just when they were about to give up, the Gongdu case broke out. After our Coordination Office began investigating, the Supervisory Department found that Ye Zhanpeng was the most suspicious through the hidden spies in our army!" "So they wanted to capture Ye Zhanpeng. It happened that Ye Zhanpeng was on the run at this time, so Ye Zhanpeng and their family were also caught by the Supervisory Department. It is said that this operation was deployed and commanded by Jiang Kuang himself!"

When he heard the name Jiang Kuang, a strange look flashed in Huo San's eyes, but he didn't say much and continued to listen to Gao Zhenghuan's story.

"After being caught by the Supervisory Department, Ye Zhanpeng had no choice but to cooperate with the Supervisory Department in order to save the lives of his wife and children. However, he was already on the run at the time and could no longer provide the Supervisory Department with firearms technology, so he hoped to use the stolen money in his hands as a price to exchange the lives of his wife and children with the Supervisory Department!"

“When Jiang Kuang accepted Ye Zhanpeng’s proposal, he also asked Ye Zhanpeng to go to Xiaolishu Village. The scene where Ye Zhanpeng burned the evidence before his death was also because Jiang Kuang threatened Ye Zhanpeng to do so. If Ye Zhanpeng didn’t do so, he would execute Ye Zhanpeng’s family…”

Upon hearing this, Huo San's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he thought to himself, as expected, he knew that there was indeed something wrong with this matter!

But why did Jiang Kuang ask Ye Zhanpeng to do this?
As if he had seen Huo San's doubts, Gao Zhenghuan said mysteriously:

"According to those three people, Jiang Kuang was carrying out Luo'an's instructions. He wanted to use this incident to divert the attention of the Coordination Office to investigate the corruption of the Liaoyang Provincial Government, and use this as a fuse to cause a conflict between Lord Cui and Lord Murong, so that Lord Murong would think that Lord Cui was plotting against him from behind!"

"It is said that the Luoan court has reached a consensus that the Fengwu Army must be forced into internal friction in order to stop the expansion of the Fengwu Army!"

As soon as he realized the key to the matter, Huo San's face suddenly changed. He never thought that things would turn out like this!
The Ye Zhanpeng incident has now implicated Hebei-Henan Provincial Governor Murong Yuliang's eldest son Murong Zhe and his trusted general Fang Peng. Murong Zhe was demoted three levels and Fang Peng was directly executed. Murong Yuliang was also fined a year's salary. He was left in disgrace and had no face left.

Because this incident happened in Liaoyang, even though there is no evidence, many people in the Fengwu Army still speculated that the only person who could make Murong Yuliang suffer so miserably was Cui Shao. Only this head of the Fengwu Army's civil servants had the ability and means to do so!
For this reason, many people are even speculating whether Murong Yuliang will choose to fight back after this incident!

Because it involves the power struggle between the top two figures in the Fengwu Army's civilian system, the situation has tended to intensify, and many people have even begun to take sides, openly or secretly!

Huo San originally thought that Cui Shao might be the mastermind behind this incident, but he never expected that the mastermind behind all this was actually Jiang Kuang, the guy who should have been dead...
(Maybe my blood pressure is a little high and I’m not in a very good condition, so please forgive me if I say a little less!)
