When Deng Fugui arrived at the county governor's mansion, Yuan Yuncai announced the news that he had taken over as the governor of Jiangyang County.
Although Chang Sui's formal appointment document has not yet been issued, the words of the eldest princess represent the imperial court, and Jun has no words for it.
New officials have three things to do when they take office, and Deng Fugui is no exception, launching thunderous tactics from the inside out.
After Qi Bainian's massacre of civilians was over, Deng Fugui seized on Qi Bainian's treason and inspected Jiangcheng officials, large and small, to investigate those who had prior knowledge and those who had secret collusion with Qi Bainian.
The first crime Miao Shaohua accused Qi Bainian was that Qi Bainian colluded with the Tu and Lu families to embezzle people's private property. Deng Fugui ordered a strict investigation of the Tu and Lu families' business. Although this was not conducive to his gaining a foothold in Jiangcheng, this
The move won the hearts of the people.
In addition, Deng Fugui strengthened the control of the eastern coast and went out to sea fifty miles to clear out pirates. This order was also a routine for the new governor of Jiangyang County. Clearing out pirates has always been the most routine task of Jiangyang County.
In addition to these three fires, Deng Fugui also lit a fourth fire.
Eliminate the secret spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in Jiangcheng!
Deng Fugui's reason is very simple. Qi Bainian ran to Southern Zhou as soon as something happened, so he must have had contact with Southern Zhou in advance.
How can we let the Southern Zhou spies continue to stay in Jiangcheng and become the escape route for our corrupt officials in Dajing?
But Zhao Cheng felt that Deng Fugui's move was probably because he, the evil southern spy, was here, right?
I want to use the luck of my evil star, Southern Spy, to get rid of the Southern Zhou spies.
Deng Fugui, you are so calculating!
Deng Fugui had been here for dozens of days, but Zhao Cheng had not met him. Before the appointment letter from the imperial court was issued, it was Yuan Yun who helped Deng Fugui to support the situation.
It was not until the appointment letter from the imperial court was issued that Zhao Cheng secretly made an appointment with Deng Fugui.
There were only Zhao Cheng, Zhao Yan and Zhao Wu in the private room of the restaurant. When Deng Fugui and Chai Xin came in, they knelt down to Zhao Cheng without hesitation.
"Deng Fugui knelt down to thank the young prime minister for his support!!"
Zhao Cheng was startled, and hurried over to help Deng Fugui up, shouting: "Master Deng, please don't harm me. If others see this, will I still be alive?"
Deng Fugui laughed happily, and the hair on the black mole on the bridge of his nose trembled, and said: "I have a sense of propriety. Isn't that why I dare to do this when the eldest princess is not around?"
"Chaixin knelt down to thank the young prime minister for his support..."
Just as Chai Xin was about to kneel down, Zhao Cheng kicked him and shouted, "Don't follow this old guy!"
Chai Xin didn't hide, he accepted Zhao Cheng's kick willingly, and then saluted with a heavy clasped fist.
Zhao Cheng could bear it and nodded.
The firewood was not brought by Deng Fugui, but was arranged by Zhao Cheng and Yuan Yun.
Now that the prefect of Yanchuan City is Li Dai, it is of little significance for Chai Xin to continue to serve as an inspector in Yanchuan City. And when Deng Fugui came here, he was faced with all direct descendants of Qi Bainian. Having Chai Xin, one of his own, following him would be of no use to Deng Fugui.
Wealth will be more helpful.
Therefore, in Chai Xin's heart, his gratitude towards Zhao Cheng was the same as that of Deng Fugui.
Zhao Cheng patted Deng Fugui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have always kept the incident in Yanchuan City in mind. This can be regarded as my fulfillment of my promise."
Deng Fugui was moved and said: "This is too big..."
Zhao Cheng affirmed: "You can hold it."
Deng Fugui knelt down again and said: "I will always look up to you with the head of the little prime minister, and with the head of the right prime minister!"
"Fart! You are an official of Dajing, and you must be loyal to the country!" Deng Fugui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and gave Deng Fugui a kick, saying: "Kneel down again, and I won't eat this meal!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Deng Fugui quickly stood up, glanced at Zhao Yan who was standing beside him, and said in surprise: "The third master is here too!"
Zhao Yan clasped his fists at Deng Fugui.
"What is the third master? He is young, at most he can be called third master!" Zhao Cheng took the lead and sat down.
Deng Fugui smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here. It's not like you don't know that the right prime minister is a role model for me to learn from all my life..."
"I know you are my father's little bitch, but you are an elder and you don't have to treat us juniors like this."
He said this, but Zhao Cheng said in a lecturing tone: "You are now the head of a county. You are no longer a minister who is idle for retirement. You must have the magnanimity you should have."
"Your Majesty, please remember the instructions of the Young Master!"
"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Third brother, pour some wine for the two adults."
"Yes!" Zhao Yan responded sharply.
Deng Fugui was fine, but Chai Xin became cautious and said: "Third Master... Third Young Master, how about we sit down and eat together?"
Zhao Cheng said: "The third child is coming with me this time and is my follower."
Hearing this, Chai Xin did not dare to say any more, understanding that Zhao Cheng was training his younger brother.
After Zhao Yan poured wine for the three of them, Zhao Cheng picked up a glass and said, "Master Deng, I won't say much else about other things. I just want to tell you two things."
"Xiao Xiangye, please speak." Deng Fugui sounded serious.
Zhao Cheng tapped the table with his finger, and Zhao Yan continued to pour wine for the three of them.
Zhao Cheng said: "The third-in-command of your county governor's office, Lieutenant Shang Dongyang, privately raised a group of hundreds of dead soldiers. Do you know this?"
Deng Fugui looked surprised, shook his head and said, "I didn't know anything about it."
Chai Xin's expression became alert and his murderous intent was revealed, and he said, "Is the young prime minister worried that they will be harmful to you?"
Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "At first I thought these hundred dead soldiers would come towards me, but it has been so long and there is still no movement from Shang Dongyang's side, so there are only two possibilities."
"One way is that Shang Dongyang no longer wants to be involved with Qi Bainian and continues to be his county captain."
"The other option is that Shang Dongyang is not sure about attacking me, so he can only change the target to someone else."
Zhao Cheng raised his eyes to look at Deng Fugui and said coldly: "Master Deng resorted to thunderous means as soon as he arrived in Jiangcheng. The internal purge was so strong that it would inevitably make Shang Dongyang nervous. He, Zeng Peng, Liu Ying and others all
They are Qi Bainian's confidants. If they join forces to fight you to the death, you will be in great trouble."
Deng Fugui thought for a while and said: "I have written down the reminder from the Prime Minister. Firewood, are you sure about it?"
Chai Xin thought about it seriously and said, "I don't dare to tell you the truth about this matter!"
Deng Fugui glared at Chai Xin and cursed: "Let the young prime minister laugh!"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "Master Chai's concerns are right. After all, this is not Yanchuan City, and the time you have been in Jiangcheng is too short. You can't even find out the hundreds of dead men in Shang Dongyang, so how can you ensure that the truth is true?"
How can it be foolproof?"
"The second thing I want to say is to trouble Lord Deng to help you. In return, I will provide you with intelligence and military support."
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Yan and Zhao Wu and said, "If something really happens, Lao San and Zhao Wu will help you."
"This, this, this... thank you so much for bothering Third Young Master and Fifth Brother Zhao to come forward!" Deng Fugui quickly raised his glass and said with a smile: "I would like to pay homage to the young Prime Minister!"
After drinking it, Deng Fugui hurriedly asked: "What the young prime minister wants me to do is for the Tu family and the Lu family, right?"
