When Zhou Tai heard the word secret decree, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately knocked to the north, saying: "Zhou Tai, the prefect of Weichen Beitongzhou, listens to the will. ”

Liu Chengfeng took out a yellow silk from his sleeve, unfolded it and read: "Tongzhou, Nanbei and Jin, there is a chaotic party and trouble, I am very worried, special brocade clothes guard thousands of households Liu Chengfeng thoroughly investigated, the civil and military officials below the governor, those who heard this edict, listen to the tune at any time, and there must be no mistakes......"

Zhou Tai heard this holy decree, and his heart was turbulent, the weight of this secret decree must not be underestimated, what is the concept of the civil and military officials below the governor, if this Liu Chengfeng takes this secret decree out, isn't it that the military horses near Gyeonggi will be under the control of this Liu Chengfeng, and the governors everywhere will have to rely on his snort?

What is it? This is the Holy Grace. Zhou Tai thought to himself at this time, I am afraid that if he is a cabinet scholar, he may not be able to be so relied on by the palace. But then again, it is precisely because they are cabinet scholars that there will be no such will in the palace, Daming has always been an official under the ranks, it is precisely because Liu Chengfeng is just a thousand households, he will be so relieved to put the power down, just like the settings in the various ministries, in fact, this is also the reason, the officials of the sixth or seventh grades are entrusted with important tasks, and they can even compete with the Shangshu Division, which is done because low-status officials often have no power, and they are far less than the Shangshu and Shilang who are all over the world. It is best to use them to control the scholars of the various ministries, etc.

There is also the official, it seems that the grade is not high, but the power is not small, even the tiger beard of the cabinet scholar dares to touch it, and this is also a consideration.

Liu Chengfeng, as a thousand households, is just a five-grade military attaché, which is probably the reason why the emperor is willing to give power, to put it bluntly, Liu Chengfeng's power is given by the palace, so he must rely on the emperor to take effect of this secret decree, but if he is replaced by a big man in the court, which of these people is not self-contained, protégés are everywhere, give them such great power, if this person has any bad intentions, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to control.

Although this is the truth, but to get such a secret decree, it shows that the palace trusts and relies on Liu Chengfeng, Zhou Tai was ecstatic in the letter at this time, originally thought that Liu Chengfeng just had a holy family, but now it seems that I am afraid that this holy family is only afraid of not light, relying on such a big tree, I will go to the capital in the future, how much chance is really difficult to say.

After all, it is good when the official is good, and it is not good when it is not good, how many people have stayed in the position of the county and the prefect for a lifetime, and it is nothing more than being transferred from Beitongzhou to Sizhou, or from Sizhou to Zhangzhou. The key here is actually that someone is promoted, someone must recognize you, remember you, know your benefits, Zhou Tai is also considered to be a long-time officialdom, his own same year, some are still nesting in the county, some have soared, the grandfather in the county does not love grandma, and everyone is frightened when he sees it, but it is the source of the left and right, with his back against the towering tree, calling for wind and rain.

To put it bluntly, those who are thriving are because they have a good backer, and they are more obedient than others in everything they do.

And Zhou Tai is different, Zhou Tai does not have this opportunity, so he plans to rely on Liu Chengfeng, although Liu Chengfeng is only a thousand households, and he is a military attaché, but people have holy dependents, it is said that they can often enter and leave the palace, as long as they say a few more good words in front of the emperor, their future will be guaranteed.

Zhou Tai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Weichen takes the order." ”

He stood up, of course he understood that Liu Chengfeng took out the secret decree, it must be that the matter has reached a critical juncture, whether Beitongzhou will be chaotic, and whether he Zhou Tai can seize this opportunity to make meritorious service depends on today.

"Liu Qianhu, I just don't know what to do?"

Liu Chengfeng put away the secret decree and said: "This time, Beitongzhou is going to kill on a large scale, but before the killing ring, I still have some things to do, what Lord Zhou has to do is to cover for me when I do this, so that no one can know my whereabouts." ”

Liu Chengfeng is much younger than Zhou Tai, but at this time, he actually patted Zhou Tai's shoulder and encouraged: "Lord Zhou, you and I have a good relationship, so far, I will give you a heart-wrenching word, those who stay in Beitongzhou will have some dangers, but the matter is urgent, someone must stay behind, if I can rush back, it will be fine, if it is a step late, Lord Zhou take care of himself." ”

A trace of horror flashed in Zhou Tai's eyes, and only then did he know the seriousness of the matter, this time it was going to die.

But Liu Chengfeng didn't say any more, and he didn't bother to ask more, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Beitongzhou is in one day, and Zhou Tai is in one day." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded his head and said no more, and what he told Zhou Tai to do was actually very simple, that is, to 'visit' Liu Chengfeng in these thousand households every few days.

Liu Chengfeng disguised himself as Beitongzhou, took a team of cronies, and left overnight.

Liu Chengfeng's departure, naturally can't let people know, otherwise it will inevitably startle the snake, but if you want to hide people's eyes, you must let others know that the thousands of households are still in the thousands of households, but they can't hide it, so let Zhou Tai occasionally come to visit, in fact, it is to tell others that Liu Chengfeng is still in Beitongzhou, after all, Zhou Tai and Liu Chengfeng have a lot of relationship, Zhou Tai came to the Thousand Households, in addition to Liu Chengfeng, who else can he talk to?

And Wang Tao's side has already received orders, Lord Liu is sick, and everyone is gone.

In Beitongzhou, it was a little quiet, and on February 19, the first batch of grain had arrived, so the wharf in Beitongzhou suddenly became lively, and countless grains were put into the granary of Caosi.

At the same time, the military preparation is the following, and the thousands of households under its jurisdiction are on tighter guard, and there must be no mistakes.

This is a very ordinary order, after all, the boat arrived, the grain is very important, and it is natural to tighten the guard, but this time the transfer is much stricter than before, in previous years, it was a formality, but this year, it is extremely strict, for example, in Beitongzhou five docks, three of which are outside the city, in previous years, a thousand households were transferred out, but this year, it was transferred three thousand households, forming a pattern of three thousand households in the city and three thousand households outside the city.

At the same time, the three thousand households in the inner city enter and exit the military garrison road yamen every day, and it seems that this is the envoy who attaches great importance to this year's prevention and ban.

In fact, it is understandable that the inspector has taken this matter seriously, such a big thing has happened in the past few months, and the chaotic party in Beitongzhou has not yet seen its eyebrows, and now it is at the juncture of the Caochuan entering Tongzhou, and it is understandable that the military preparation road is more nervous.

However, many people can't help but mumble in their hearts, this is a bit of a fuss about the fact that the inspector sent three thousand households to the outside of the city, just to guard so many docks, after all, the most important thing in Tongzhou is the granary of Beishi, not the wharf, but in this Beitongzhou, what is naturally what the military preparation road says, who dares to say anything?

At the same time, in this Beitongzhou, also ushered in a lot of rare guests, these people are on passenger ships, are a businessman, the dress of the people, but these people, obviously different from the ordinary businessmen and guys, a boat of people, there are thousands of people, they arrived in Beitongzhou, and then found an inn to live, no longer show up.

Immediately afterwards, a news set off an uproar, the newly built treasure building, suddenly caught fire one night, the fire was very large, overnight, the treasure building was razed to the ground, fortunately this was at night, but did not hurt a few people.

Naturally, Jinyi Wei Qianhu was 'angry', and on the second day, headed by Chen Hongyu, he took hundreds of households to go around and arrest 'thieves' everywhere, this toss arrested a lot of people to the Qianhu Institute, most of these people are not innocent people, which naturally caused a lot of criticism.

It is said that this brocade guard Qianhu Liu Chengfeng made a big fuss, but his private property was on fire, but it caused such a big movement.

Hearing this, it is said that the envoy was furious when he heard this, and threatened to write a letter to impeach Liu Chengfeng's evil deeds, and immediately asked someone to report it, Huang Zhen let out a long breath and sat on the chair.

In his eyes, there is loss, fear, unwillingness, and more, a kind of exhaustion, a kind of exhaustion from the depths of his heart.

Things have come to this point, he can't turn back, and he doesn't know what his fate will be, one day from a thief, from now on, he can no longer wash his name. Then, he had to do it hard, and at this time, he had a wonderful feeling in his heart, and seemed to believe in the monk's words, thinking that this time, he destroyed Beitongzhou and blocked the north-south traffic.

The reason why Huang Zhen believed the monk's nonsense was, to put it bluntly, that he had deceived himself, he had no choice but to choose to believe in the monk, although he felt that the chance was slim, but he was convinced that he would succeed.

"My lord......" An errand officer walked in, only bowed slightly to Huang Zhen and saluted, although he called him Lord, but his tone was a negotiation.

Huang Zhen said: "What? What happened to the three thousand houses in the outer city? Huang Zhen glanced at this errand officer, in the past, he might not even be able to look at this errand officer, after all, an errand officer was really not worth mentioning to him Huang Zhen. It wasn't until a few days ago that he knew that this errand was actually the monk's person, that is to say, the monk had already laid out his eyeliner in this military preparation road, thinking of this, Huang Zhen couldn't help but shiver, this monk's energy is really not small, since someone can mix into the military preparation road, then the other yamen and even thousands of households have more or less people who are monks, I am afraid that only God knows.
