In fact, Cui Geng really didn't want to be greedy for Hu Chao's credit.

In the records of later history, it is only recorded that Wu Zetian favored a monk named Hu Chao in his later years and asked him to refine the elixir of immortality for himself.

However, there is no record of who cured Wu Zetian's eye disease. It's just that Wu Zetian suffered from eye disease for three months, and after he recovered, he changed his long-term vision and gave amnesty to the world.

Cui Geng openly gouged out the eyes of the Guangtian statue, even if it was for the purpose of investigating the case, it was not a big trouble.

Counting the days, Wu Zetian's eye disease should also be cured, he had an idea, and linked his actions with Wu Zetian's eye treatment.

It was precisely because the days coincided very well that Wu Zetian was convinced that his eye disease was indeed cured by Cui Geng, and it had little to do with Hu Chao's elixir.

Of course, the current Cui Geng didn't know that he had unknowingly made another strong enemy.

As soon as the decree appointing Cui Geng as the "deposed envoy of Jiannan Province" arrived, he began to get busy.

Everywhere he went, he put out the "billboard" and let the local people complain. The officials, who were extremely angry with the people, had conclusive evidence and dealt with them on the spot.

Of course, with the officialdom atmosphere of Jiannan Province, almost no officials are not greedy, and it will definitely not work to kill all the corrupt officials.

Cui Geng can only grasp the big and let go of the small, and he is not to blame for those officials who are not very angry with the people and take the initiative to move closer to him.

With this kind of choice, coupled with the help of the Jianghu people under the playwright, Cui Geng is really comfortable in Jiannan Road.

The officials who were punished, or beheaded, or removed from all positions, could no longer pose a threat to Cui Geng.

Those officials who escaped by luck are really grateful to Cui Geng. The officials who were recently promoted by Cui Geng regard him as a reborn parent.

In less than three months, Cui Geng discovered that the main officials of the states of Jiannan Province had a close relationship with him, and he had become the uncrowned king of Jiannan Province.

Of course, he will not be complacent about this, thinking that it is due to how wise and powerful he is.

Cui Geng's heart is like a mirror, mainly because of Wu Zetian's deliberate cultivation. Since she wants to make herself the lubricant between the Wu clan and the Li clan, she must give herself enough strength. Otherwise, if you speak by yourself, the Wu and Li families will not listen!

Anyway, after Cui Geng's politics in Jiannan Province, the officialdom has changed greatly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Cui Geng is full of cronies in Jiannan Road, and his power has increased greatly, which is a happy situation.

However, there is one person who is very blind to this situation.

Lizhou City, in an inn.

Li Xiu's face was distorted, and he said hatefully: "I can't think of it, I can't imagine that the tens of thousands of armor weapons that I, Li Xiu, have worked so hard to accumulate, and the Huangze Temple organ that I have painstakingly designed has become Cui Geng's advancement!" That's a real loss......"

He wanted to say, "I lost my wife and broke my soldiers", but he glanced at Xiao Wuniang beside him, and immediately swallowed the words Xiao Wuniang was ordered to seduce ~ Cui Geng, she said that she maintained her chastity, what is the truth, who knows? I'm afraid that this "lady" will have already lost herself!

Li Xiu changed his words and said: "Compensation... That lost a lot of money, so you can't just forget it! ”

Xiao Wuniang said softly: "That husband thinks, how can we take revenge?" ”

"Of course, to snatch these weapons and armor back. Cui Geng was smart and confused for a while, so he didn't transport these weapons and armor back to Lizhou City, but only added seals and sent two hundred soldiers to garrison Huangze Temple. Wu Niang, you listen to me, find another excuse, and mix with Cui Geng's side......"

"No way!" Xiao Wuniang refused to be categorical.

Li Xiu was slightly stunned and said, "Why not?" Didn't you do well the first two times? ”

"Because ......" Xiao Wuniang lowered her head shyly, her voice was like a gnat, and said, "Because the concubine is already pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood." ”

"What? Do you have a baby? ”

When Li Xiu heard about this, his face was cloudy. On the one hand, I have the joy of being a father for the first time, and on the other hand, I am also secretly suspicious: Is this child mine or Cui Geng's?

Xiao Wuniang didn't know Li Xiu's dirty thoughts, and said: "There is a successor to the Li family, isn't the husband happy?" ”

"No, of course not. I'm thinking...... Without Wu Niang's help, it would be difficult to snatch those armor weapons back. ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Xiu realized that something was wrong. He thought to himself, is it possible, without Xiao Wuniang by Cui Geng's side, I don't have the courage to fight Cui Geng head-on?

No, it's not like that! It must not be like this!

Even if I don't use the beauty scheme, I have developed my power in Jiannan Province in the past two years, and I have gained a lot. The strength of the secret hall is something that no one dares to underestimate. In addition, Li Dan's henchman Yao Yuanchong was transferred, and many officers and soldiers in the state helped.

These three forces together, although they can't fight hard against Cui Geng, but snatching back that batch of armor and weapons is an absolute superiority in strength, and there should be no problem.

Yes, I was just for the sake of safety, and I couldn't bear to sacrifice the lives of too many soldiers, not that Wu Niang had to sacrifice.

Thinking of this, he said gently: "Then Wuniang, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and see how my husband and I broke the Huangze Temple and teach Cui Geng a hard lesson!" ”

"The concubine first wished her husband a victory and success. But ......"

"How?"

Xiao Wuniang said stupidly: "I want to go with my husband and see my husband's heroic posture in battle, is it okay?" ”

"Haha, why not? Wu Niang, just take a look. For the husband, we will send troops, and ten days later, we will send troops to Huangze Temple! ”

……

……

Three days later, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Yizhou.

Now, Shi Yaoshou, the former governor of Yizhou, has been imprisoned.

After all, Cui Geng was afraid that he had offended Li Dan too much, so he didn't make public the news that Li Xiu was the owner of tens of thousands of weapons and armor, but put this basin on Yao Shou's body.

Anyway, he is a big corrupt official, and there are countless lives under his hands, so it doesn't matter if there is one more crime or one less crime.

Yao Shou had an accident, the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had no owner, and Cui Geng, the Jiannan Provincial Inspector, simply occupied the magpie's nest.

"Cui Chawan, you are really clever! Your subordinates really admire you! With a curtain pick, the playwright Kai walked into Cui Geng's study quite excitedly.

The original dramatist was happy and arrogant, even if he didn't pay attention to Cui Geng. However, after being cleaned up by Qian Shunlai and Cui Xiufang for a while, this young man's worldview collapsed, and he was condescending to Cui Gengqian, and now he has a tendency to develop in the direction of Song Genhai, and he will shoot himself when he finds an opportunity.

Cui Geng's eyelids raised slightly, and said, "Okay, there is something to talk about, and there is less to tidy up those useless." ”

"It's just that you didn't leave the armor and weapons of Huangze Temple in the first place. Now there's a big fish hanging from it! ”

Cui Geng frowned slightly, and said, "Catch a big fish?" The official didn't have this idea at the beginning, but he was afraid that His Majesty would send someone to check the authenticity of the secret room, so he didn't move the layout inside. ”

"You don't have to be modest, a few months ago, you said that you were afraid that Your Majesty would send someone to check the authenticity of the secret room, which is reasonable. But it's been almost half a year since Your Majesty issued an edict to reward you, why haven't you moved those armor weapons yet? ”

Cui Geng told the truth and said, "This official is busy with official business, so I forgot." ”

The playwright said: "Cheng, Master Cui, you said that you forgot, that is, you forgot, and you dare not fight with you." But what do we do about that big fish? ”

Cui Geng was quite curious and said, "What is the origin of that big fish?" Where did you get the news? ”

"That big fish is Li Xiu, the master of the Secret Hall. As for the origin of this message......"

The playwright slapped his hands twice and said to the outside, "Come in!" Today, Master Cui is in a good mood and agrees to meet you. ”
