Chapter 490: Conspiracy

As a thorn history, Chu Xian naturally has absolute power, no matter who it is, as long as it is an official in the Liangzhou territory, he has to obey orders.

But in the same way, as a history of assassination, Chu Xian is high and is stared at by countless people, so he must be cautious in his every move, do not act chaotically, do not violate official laws, and cannot act rashly, and must conform to the prestige of the superiors, so to speak, it is difficult to be a high-ranking official.

It's like knowing that Song Guangming has a problem, but according to the official law, without conclusive evidence, he can't act rashly.

This is not the situation in Wacheng, Wacheng was caught by Chu Xian with conclusive evidence, and there is an account book as ironclad evidence, but Song Guangming has nothing here.

But Chu Xian didn't think that the other party could bounce for long, maybe in other states, this kind of person could exist, but in Liangzhou, in the territory under his jurisdiction, this kind of official must not stay.

For two months at most, if the supervising imperial history can't take down this Song Guangming, Chu Xian will also secretly take action.

But now, Chu Xian is mainly serving as the new assassin and inspecting Liangzhou, so he only stayed in Dinghai County for two days, went to Zhenxi City, and then went to other cities.

The government decree of Zhenxi City is quite conscientious, and there is a precedent of Wacheng and the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and the tax administration of Zhenxi City is implemented very well, and some corrupt officials and illegal businessmen have also been investigated, and the tax and silver recovered are more than 200,000 taels.

Chu Xian knew that the rice had to be eaten one bite at a time, and it was the same for governing the state, it was impossible to directly lift the table and check the bottom of the sky like Wacheng.

It is still necessary to maintain stability, which is the big picture.

After Chu Xian left, there were officials from the Wenxuan Department of the follow-up Ministry to report the appointment of Xia Bozhong, and after hearing that Xia Bozhong was transferred to Wacheng as the chief secretary of the city government, many people were dumbfounded.

You must know that for Xia Bozhong, this is simply an official promotion to the second level, which is a huge jump, many people say that Xia Bozhong will be blessed if he does not die, only Xia Bozhong knows that this is Chu Xian's trust and promotion of him.

On the side of Zhenxi City Mansion, the main secretary Song Guangming knew about this matter, and was silent, and he couldn't even get into his eyes when he was in the past.

But now, people have jumped on the branches and become phoenixes, and their level is already on an equal footing with him, so even if they are angry and jealous in their hearts, they still send people to send congratulatory gifts.

Song Guangming's mansion, at this moment, his face was gloomy, and he was silent in thought.

Chu Xian's attitude towards him, Song Guangming can taste it, and he also knows that the supervision of the imperial history has already targeted him, if it weren't for his meticulous work, he can be ruthless at a critical moment, I am afraid that he would have lost his official position and lost his life.

"In officialdom, it is like walking on thin ice, the winner is prosperous and rich, and the loser is doomed, hum, although I, Song Guangming, am just a city lord, but even if you assassinate Lord Shi, it is not so easy to move me. In his own words, Song Guangming looked around, then walked to a secret room behind, changed into an ordinary shirt, covered his face with a hat, and left the mansion at night, and then walked around in the west of the town and entered an inconspicuous house.

From the outside, this house is really inconspicuous, but after entering, you can realize that there is something inside.

There were master guards inside, obviously these masters knew Song Guangming, and they didn't stop them, they let them go directly, and entered the house, which was spacious and tidy, and several people were eating hot 'fire buckets' around a big table.

The fire bucket is not only a hot pot, but also a copper tripod boiling soup and boiling meat.

When Song Guangming entered the room, he heard a person on the other side of the table saying, "Green ants are brewing new wine, and the red clay is a small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of it?"

At that moment, Song Yuanming, who had just entered the door, smiled and said: "Haha, Mr. Xu is talented, this poem is very appropriate, the outer door has just snowed." ”

"Lord Song is here, come, please sit, please sit. An old man at the table laughed.

It can be seen that at this moment, there are four people in this room, an old man, a strange ugly and fat woman, a Taoist, and a scribe.

If Chu Xian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that these four people were the president of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce and others who had met in Wacheng before.

At this moment, these four people actually arrived in Zhenxi City, and they met Song Guangming in this secret residence.

Song Guangming came in, and immediately someone brought a bowl of chopsticks and sauce.

"Lord Song, it's been a hard time lately, in order to deal with the errand, the Six Alliances have lost millions of taels of silver this time, including Zhenxi City, otherwise, how to keep an official like Lord Song, this, Lord Song can appreciate it." It was Wu Chengxiang, president of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, who spoke.

Song Guangming used chopsticks to hold a piece of tender mutton in the copper pot and dipped it in the sauce, and then said: "What President Wu said is yes, but if there are no officials like me, how can the Six Leagues make a lot of money over the years, we are friends, win-win and mutually beneficial, when friends are in trouble, of course, we should help generally, this is not only for friends, but also for their future business." ”

"Haha, it's so refreshing to talk to Lord Song. Wu Chengxiang nodded: "But this kind of day, when will it be a head? The Six Leagues can't keep giving in like this, Lord Song, you know, I, De Ruixiang, can only be regarded as the bottom of the Six Leagues, and the other few are not as easy to talk as I am, I'm afraid that they will be impulsive." ”

Hearing this, Song Guangming jumped his eyelids imperceptibly.

These businessmen in the Six Leagues, all of them are masters who eat people and don't spit out bones, greedy, and bold, although Song Guangming is insidious, but sometimes it is true that he does not provoke these people, and now Wu Chengxiang's words are forcing him to find a way.

But since he has already gotten on the ship, he can't go down again, so he has to find a way to prosper and ruin, even if it is for himself.

Song Guangming said at this time: "I don't know what the Six Alliances have thoughts and plans, let's listen to it, if it can help, Song will definitely do his best to help." ”

"It's not whether I can help, it's that I can. Wu Chengxiang smiled, and then said to the scribe on the side: "Mr. Xu, you are the number one strategist of the Six Leagues, you can say it." ”

The scribe surnamed Xu said at this moment: "Everyone, we are all in the same boat, so we will say some things directly, the boundary of Liangzhou, the Six Leagues have been operating for many years, and they have done a lot of things, and more than half of them are enough to kill their heads, just say Zhenxi City, the imperial history that threatened Lord Song before, was done by our Six Leagues, and the work was done cleanly, leaving no traces and clues, so, in order to protect themselves, some things must not be exposed." But now, Liangzhou has come to a person surnamed Chu to make a history of assassination, our life will not be easy, he has moved our interests, he is the great enemy of our six alliances, he wants to fight, how can we retreat......?

Xu Wenshi didn't say anything in the end, but made a gesture of raising and falling with a knife.

That meaning is already self-evident.

Song Guangming was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Chu Xiangui is the assassin of a state, don't say whether you can kill him, if you really kill him, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble, you know, behind him is Lord Zhongshu." ”

"Lord Song, you misunderstood, there may not be only one way to kill people, especially to deal with high-ranking officials, you must know how to kill people with a knife, this borrowing knife is also exquisite, you can borrow the knife of the official's family, you can also borrow the knife of the demon, in short, no matter what kind of knife it is, what can help us eradicate a strong enemy is a good knife. Xu Wenshi said with a smile.

Song Guangming took another piece of meat and ate it, took a sip of wine, and said, "If you let some profits, it may be safer not to provoke this Chu Xian first." ”

"Haha. Xu Wenshi smiled: "Lord Song, where is there such a safe thing in this world, not to mention that the Six Alliances will not let go of Chu Xian, a person who dares to touch the interests of the Six Alliances, even if the Six Alliances are willing to settle things, will Chu Xian let the Six Alliances go?" Chu Xian, I, Xu Yangqing, have carefully studied this person, looking at the past, his resume as an official, I know that Chu Xian is definitely ruthless, and none of the people he has targeted have good results, I expect that Chu Xian has begun to secretly investigate us, including you, Lord Song, and he must take it, let me ask, in this case, how can it be safe? If you don't kill him, he will kill you, this is your life-and-death war, and you can't escape it. ”

Xu Wenshi's face was murderous at the moment.

Song Guangming took a deep breath, his expression remained unchanged, with a kind of depth in his eyes, and then said, "I understand, then what should Song do?"

"Simple!" Xu Wenshi smiled slightly: "Resign!"

......

To the north of Liangzhou, it is desolate, but there are also people living in Liangzhou, and the largest city in this area is Swallowing Yang City.

Chu Xian had already inspected Zhenxi City, Hanshui City, and East Bone City, and this Swallowing Yang City was the fourth place, and just halfway through, Chu Xian got the paper crane book that supervised the imperial history.

There is only one content, Song Guangming suddenly fell seriously ill and resigned to recuperate.

On the side of the state capital, Li Ji Changshi also sent a paper crane message, saying that Song Guangming crossed the state capital and directly asked the ministry to resign, and the ministry had already agreed.

Obviously, this is not in accordance with the rules, no matter what, Song Guangming should not go over the state capital and directly ask the ministry to resign, and in addition, the ministry should not skip the state capital and agree to Song Guangming's resignation.

This is absolutely unorthodox.

But then again, if you want to pursue it through this matter, I'm afraid that nothing will end up in the end, Song Guangming made it clear that he gave up his official position, and he directly crossed the state capital to submit his resignation, which is not a big deal, and the officials can prevaricate by finding a reason at will.

For example, they say yes and then notify the state.

After all, this is not a big deal, the main secretary of a city government is considered a big official in the city, but if it is put in the ministry, it is nothing, and any matter Zhonglang can decide whether to stay or not.

In the Ministry of Officials, there are four Lang in the matter, and there are also four in the Shilang.
