Chapter 335: Good Officials and Bad Officials

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Fan Guanglie was suddenly rounded back by Cui Geng, and he choked up.

He stroked his forehead and lowered his head and pretended to cough, while his mind was spinning, and soon he said eloquently: "What, Cui Changshi, immortals also have naps, not to mention mortals such as me." So I waited for a moment of negligence and blamed He Mingyuan, it's really normal! However, seeing this letter, it reminded Fan that I remember that the hairpin worn by He Dafa was exquisite and abnormal, very much like a woman's thing. This just shows a problem, it is likely that He Dafa and Qiu Hong had an affair with their masters, and they falsely accused He Mingyuan for the sake of their looks. ”

It's rare that Sun Yangao didn't play the role of a pig teammate this time, and he instantly understood Fan Guanglie's intentions, and said with help: "Yes, the hairpin on the head of He Dafa, the villain, was also seen by the official." Obviously, He Dafa wanted to falsely accuse He Mingyuan, so that not only could he never suffer in the future, and stay with Qiuhong, but he could also report meritorious service, in exchange for a few rewards, tsk, this thief's mind is very poisonous! ”

Cui Geng knew that these two goods had begun to show signs of entering the game, and continued to stubbornly shake his head and said: "Otherwise, according to Cui, relying on a hairpin as evidence alone, in the same way, is too far-fetched." This cannot prove that He Dafa is falsely accusing He Mingyuan. For the sake of insurance, I want to personally judge He Dafa! ”

"According to Cui Changshi's words." After Fan Guanglie agreed, he quietly took Sun Yangao away, whispered a few words in a corner, and heard Sun Yangao nod his head again and again.

……

An hour later, Fan Guanglie led his cronies and Cui Geng to the hiding place of the whistleblower He Dafa.

Not surprisingly, Qiu Hong's figure was found.

As soon as these two people appeared, before Cui Geng could say that they would be arrested, they heard Fan Guanglie glance at Captain Guoyi, Sun Zhong, and coughed twice.

Captain Guoyi Sun Zhong is Sun Yangao's younger brother, and of course he and Fan Guanglie are the same dog.

He immediately understood Fan Guanglie's eyes in seconds, and immediately shouted: "All the sergeants listen to the order, He Dafa framed Zhongliang, and he should be punished!" Kill this pair of adulterers and adulteresses to make an example! ”

With a bang, nearly 100 soldiers rushed forward directly, brandishing long knives and shouting, "Kill the adulterer and adulteress."

Before He Dafa and Qiu Hong could react, they had already slashed into pieces.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing here? He Dafa is an important certification, and his life must not be harmed! ”

Cui Geng's mouth was in a hurry, but his feet were stunned and didn't move half a step, "You guys are really reckless, He Dafa can't die, bastard, he is the only person who has been through He Mingyuan!" As soon as He Dafa dies, where do you ask this official to find someone to prove He Mingyuan's crime? Captain Sun, why are you so impulsive? ”

Fan Guanglie squinted his eyes and glanced at Cui Geng, and the corners of his mouth smiled, full of pride.

Captain Guoyi Sun Zhong put the knife back into the sheath, strode in front of Cui Geng, knelt down and pleaded: "Lord Hui Changshi, as soon as I saw this pair of brazen dog men and women, I was angry. The brothers killed the witness by mistake with a small care, and they are willing to accept the guilt! ”

Fan Guanglie interjected, and scolded with some hatred: "Captain Sun, when will your temper change?" Look at it, as soon as He Dafa dies, there is no proof of death, and He Mingyuan is even more suspicious, you, you, if you are not the brother of Sun Tingshi, you will be scolded for joining the army! ”

Fan Guanglie's words were clearly accusing Sun Zhong, and secretly reminding Cui Geng that Sun Zhong was Sun Thornshi's brother, you can't touch him. At the same time, he is also reminding him that He Dafa is dead, and there is no proof of death, what do you use to investigate He Mingyuan's crimes?

Cui Geng pretended to sigh in compromise, waved his hand, and said, "That's it, Captain Sun, get up, just think it's cheaper He Mingyuan!" ”

When Sun Zhong heard this, he glanced at Fan Guanglie, and the eyes of the two of them were full of smirks that had succeeded in their schemes.

Now that the witness is dead, and the evidence is not enough to convict He Mingyuan, Cui Geng naturally can't be persistent anymore.

In addition, Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie were unwilling to entangle the case anymore, so as not to offend the Mo Khan behind He Mingyuan.

As a result, a case of He Mingyuan's internal and external communication that mobilized the public was over.

The next day, He Mingyuan was acquitted, accompanied by Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie, and sent him out of the palace.

Waiting for He Mingyuan to return home, Cui Geng had been waiting at his house for a long time.

His henchman He Gui served tea while telling the master the ins and outs of the whole matter, Cui Geng's advice.

He Mingyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in a daze: "I said that Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie, why are these two old dogs so polite to me, dare to love it, it is Cui Changshi who made up such a big backer for He Mou." Hahaha, Cui Changshi, didn't you see that Sun Yangao used to treat me like a mustard, and Fan Guanglie bullied me like a dog, but today he has been polite again and again, and he has repeatedly explained the misunderstanding this time! I also let me say a few kind words to the master behind me, listening to my clouds and mountains, but it is refreshing and happy! ”

Cui Geng waved his hand and said, "I guess the two of them know about the previous relationship between you and me, so they want to start with you and find my sore feet." So much so that you were tortured in the government, and the shopkeeper He suffered so much, but it made Cui feel very unhappy! ”

"No, no, no!" He Mingyuan shook his head again and again, "He Mou has already been with Cui Changshi in both glory and loss. If it weren't for Cui Changshi's mediation earlier, I'm afraid that He's family business would have been swallowed up by Sun Yangao! However, there is one point, I am very puzzled in the next, and I hope that Cui Changshi can solve the doubts in the next! ”

Cui Geng said: "Shopkeeper He, please speak!" ”

He Mingyuan said: "How did Cui Changshi know that fabricating that I was secretly colluding with the Turkic Khan to make them think that I was secretly working for Mo Du in the Central Plains would make them retreat?" In case the Turkic Khan silently did not scare them away, but made Sun Yan raise his heart to ask the court for merit, and sent me to Luoyang ......"

He Mingyuan didn't say the latter words, but Cui Geng already understood.

He Mingyuan's henchman He Gui also nodded and said: "Yes, at that time, Cui Changshi secretly ordered me to spread suspicions in the mansion and create the illusion that my master was colluding with the Turkic Khan. The little one was really scared out of the sweat. This is in case Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie take it seriously, mistakenly think that they have seen through the Turkic plot against our dynasty, and directly send my master to Luoyang to ask for merit from the imperial court. Then my master really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it! Fortunately, I didn't expect to scare them away. ”

Cui Geng smiled: "Actually, at first, I also felt risky, even dead and alive. Later, I pondered about Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie, and I was relieved! Let's put it this way......"

Cui Geng slowly stood up, paced in the hall, and said meaningfully: "I don't dare to try this matter on any official in the imperial court!" But for these two goods, I think the probability of success is at least 80% or more! ”

When He Mingyuan heard this, he fell into deep thought.

He Gui was even more confused when he heard it, and said: "Cui Changshi, the little one still doesn't understand!" ”

Cui Geng didn't reply to him, but looked at He Mingyuan thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Your master already understands!" ”

"Yes, I see!"

He Mingyuan said: "Cui Changshi means that if you are a loyal minister of the imperial court and a good official of the Great Zhou, you can't do it." But Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie, one of these two people is greedy and insatiable, the other is greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are well-known corrupt officials and mediocre officials in Dingzhou! In addition, Dingzhou is located at the junction with the Turks, once it really annoys the Turkic Khan, the Turkic cavalry will be able to break through Dingzhou City in less than two hours! Therefore, Cui Changshi pinched the pulse of Sun and Fan, ate them to death, forgive them and didn't dare to take credit for me, and finally offended Mo Du and buried his life and future! Yes and no? ”

Cui Geng gave a thumbs up and praised: "Shopkeeper He's analysis is very accurate, no wonder the transaction is so big, not bad!" ”

He Mingyuan said modestly: "Don't dare to be, it's Cui Changshi who has practiced to the extreme of figuring out people's hearts, and I really admire it in the next moment!" ”

"Oh, I see!"

He Zhong only understood this time, and summed up one sentence: "It means that it won't work in front of good officials, but it will definitely work in front of bad officials!" ”

Cui Geng and He Mingyuan both laughed when they heard it!

"However, through this incident, I did discover a strange place!" Cui Geng said.

He Mingyuan asked, "What's strange?" ”

Cui Geng frowned slightly and said, "I found that Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie were afraid of the Turkic Khan's silence, which was beyond my expectations. I wonder if these two old things are still secretly doing something shady and therefore so fearful of the Turks? ”

"What are Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie secretly doing to see people?"

He Mingyuan pondered slightly, and finally shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this in Dingzhou for so many years. Could it be Cui Changshi, you think too much? ”

Even He Mingyuan, a native of Dingzhou, had never heard of it, Cui Geng shrugged, and felt that he should be thinking too much, and then said with a smile: "No matter, anyway, keep an eye on it, there is no harm in guarding these two goods!" ”

He Mingyuan also said: "Cui Changshi, don't worry, I will also send my subordinates to pay more attention and inquire more, if there is really anything to do, it will definitely not be able to hide from our eyes!" ”

Cui Geng snorted and said, "That's the only way!" ”

Subsequently, He Mingyuan asked He Gui to arrange the back kitchen of He Mansion, prepared wine and food, and invited Cui Geng to have dinner in the mansion to thank Cui Changshi for saving his life.

The two drank until midnight, and then dispersed.

……

Since He Mingyuan's incident, Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie have surprisingly stopped a lot.

These two goods suddenly calmed down, which made Cui Geng a lot quieter. When he was busy, he exercised the power of Changshi in the government office to deal with the government affairs of Dingzhou. In his spare time, he took Feng Changqing, Song Genhai and others to go to various counties under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou, first, to familiarize themselves with the customs and customs, and secondly, to inspect the local people's livelihood, and by the way, to win the hearts of local county officials.

The days were full and peaceful.

Time has passed, time has passed, and another five months have passed smoothly in his tenure as governor of Dingzhou......
