"The Grand Administrator of Nanyang, Teng, was born in a young age. He once traveled to Qin and studied under the military strategists and Legalists. He didn't have any connections in Nanyang, so he was ignored by Ji Wuye. Although he was the Grand Administrator, he had no military power." The Mohist family's intelligence was still very fast.
of.
Jin Yao and others had just arrived at Wancheng, Nanyang County, when a Mohist disciple sent information about Nanyang.
"What do you think of this prefect?" Jin Yao asked, looking at the local Mohist disciples in Nanyang.
"Although he studied under military strategists and Legalists, he is more like a Confucian. He lives in seclusion, studies all day, and ignores government affairs." After thinking for a while, the Mohist disciple expressed his own evaluation based on his own impressions.
"Hide your strength and bide your time!" Jin Yao finally understood why Nanyang rebelled.
I am afraid that this prefect Teng had already become an intermediary of the Qin State when he was studying in the Qin State, and he came to Nanyang to prepare for the Qin State to destroy Han.
And a person without a surname also means that there is no background behind him except his back.
But in this era, it is not possible for ordinary people to serve as the governor of Korea without a surname and power.
"Juzi thinks there is something wrong with this prefect Teng?" the red-haired divine killer asked in confusion.
"You don't think a man with no surname or clan, a humble background, but the governor of Nanyang, one of the only two remaining counties in Korea, is an ordinary person?" Jin Yao asked, looking at the red-haired God Killer.
Nong Yu was also shocked. They didn't realize this. They thought that the Nanyang Prefect was in the same group as Ji Wuye and others. Because he was nameless and had no power, he was promoted to Nanyang's puppet prefect by Ji Wuye and Ye Mu.
.
After Jin Yao's reminder, Nong Yu also realized that something was wrong. Ji Wuye and Ye Mu wanted to control Korea. Ye Mu alone was not enough. They also had to win over the nobles of Korea. Therefore, such an important position as Nanyang Prefect naturally also
It will be something coveted by the nobles of Nanyang and Korea.
This prefect Teng could actually break out of the monopoly of the nobles and take charge of Nanyang. How could he be an incompetent person like a puppet?
"Let's go and meet this prefect Teng who keeps a low profile and bides his time!" Jin Yao smiled, no matter how much he thought about it, it would be better to meet him once.
Mohist disciples led the way and soon found the mansion of Prefect Teng in a slum alley in Wancheng.
"He lives here?" Jin Yao was surprised.
Even if Ji Wuye and others ignored Prefect Teng, Prefect Teng is the highest administrative officer of Nanyang after all, and the benefits he should be given cannot be less. How could he live in such a place.
Especially since it is still daytime. Normally, the prefect should be working in the prefect's official office. How could he be at home?
"Prefect Teng has not been to the government office for several years!" the Mohist disciple explained.
"In the beginning, when the prefect first took office, he went to the government office, but then he never went there again. He has been studying at home and can't go out!"
Jin Yao frowned, and then he saw the narrow and broken courtyard door opened. Looking in from the outside, the courtyard was very cramped, and he could see the whole thing at a glance.
There are no furnishings, but it is very clean, and has nothing to do with the filth of the poor alleys. In the courtyard, a middle-aged scribe wearing the cheapest plain clothes holds a polished bamboo slip and is studying.
"Qin Law!" Jin Yao and others had extraordinary eyesight, so they naturally saw that the writing on the bamboo slips was the seal script of the Qin State, and the words "Qin Law" were also written on the back.
"It's interesting. When I read the Qin Code in Korea, I still studied it in such an open and honest manner." The red-haired Shensha said playfully.
In any country, if someone knew that one of their officials was reading the laws of another country, they would probably have been impeached by the imperial censor.
But if you think about it carefully, since he already lives here, there probably won't be any noble censor to take care of him.
"We are a distinguished guest, but please forgive me for the humble accommodation." The prefect Teng closed the bamboo slips and looked at Jin Yao and his entourage with a smile.
"You knew we were coming?" Jin Yao was a little surprised.
Prefect Teng nodded, "Even ordinary people in Wancheng are reluctant to set foot in this ragged alley, but in the past two days, Mohist disciples have come to explore it one after another. Naturally, there are distinguished guests coming."
"Please punish me, Juzi!" The Nanyang disciples of the Mo family lowered their heads in shame. They thought their whereabouts were hidden, but they didn't expect to be discovered.
"No wonder you. I'm afraid there are no strangers coming to this ragged alley on weekdays. People have lived here for so many years. I'm afraid they can clearly see if there is an extra mouse, let alone a human!" Jin Yao shook his head.
"Teng didn't expect that the current generation of the Mohist family would actually come to the humble residence!" The prefect Teng has also been observing Jin Yao.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Jin Yao looked at the prefect Teng and asked.
"I'm sorry, please!" The prefect Teng Shi just extended his hand and invited the group into the small courtyard.
"Does the dignified Nanyang Governor live in a place like this?" Jin Yao asked knowingly.
The prefect Teng did not take it seriously. He carefully served the tea cup and said, "It's just that the outside here is filthy, but the heart is clean. It may not be the same outside!"
Jin Yao nodded, and sure enough, the laziness and incompetence of this prefect Teng was just an appearance, or it could be said that it was deliberately created by the other party.
"Anyone who tolerates forbearance always has a plan. I wonder what the prefect is planning?" Jin Yao asked directly.
"Then what are the Mo family's plans in coming to Nanyang?" Prefect Teng asked.
"But do good deeds and don't ask about your future!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"But do good deeds and don't ask about the future!" The prefect Teng carefully tasted these eight words, which were very Mohist style. The eight words fully demonstrated the chivalry of the Mohist family.
"So, is there any bad thing in Nanyang that requires the Mohist Juzi to personally take action?" Prefect Teng asked again.
"Emerald Tiger!" Jin Yao spit out a name directly, and then looked at Prefect Teng. He didn't believe that Prefect Teng didn't know what Emerald Tiger did in Nanyang.
Nanyang is the home of the Emerald Tiger. As the governor of Nanyang, it is impossible for the governor Teng not to know what the Emerald Tiger is doing.
"Some time ago, the Mo family wanted to use the blood-clothed Hou Bai Yifei, and now they want to use the Emerald Tiger. What is the relationship between the Mo family and Kaifangdi or the Ninth Young Master?" Prefect Teng didn't say anything else. He was just curious. It's impossible for the Mo family not to know about the situation in Korea.
, but one after another, who is trying to disturb the night, which side are they on?
"Don't you know what the Emerald Tiger is doing now?" Jin Yao asked.
"Drought in Nanyang?" The prefect Teng really didn't understand anything, but he knew everything very well.
"Is it really a drought?" Jin Yao looked at the prefect Teng and asked.
"Of course not. After Han Wangan showed his existence and power, Ji Wuye naturally wanted to show his control over South Korea. Therefore, the Emerald Tiger used Ye Mu's power to collude with military and political officials, monopolize South Korea's business roads, and control
Grain growing and buying and selling markets throughout Korea.”
"Nanyang has its own water conservancy canals, and there will be no problems regardless of drought or flood. Therefore, Emerald Tiger adds lime to the fertilizer sold to farmers. Naturally, nothing will be seen when the lime is mixed in the fertilizer. But once Nanyang rains,
When it comes, the entire crops will be burned down, creating the illusion of drought!" Prefect Tengshi knew everything, but did nothing to stop it.
