The governor of Youzhou is the supervisor of the eleven counties of Youzhou, and the main targets of supervision are these eleven county guards... Although there are many kind-hearted governors these days, both sides have to pay attention to a taboo.
At the very least, you can't come to your door in the middle of the night no matter what, right?
In fact, even if the governor of a state and the governor of a county had a secret meeting at night, each of them just farted, it would be a big news if it was spread, so it is no wonder that Gongsun Xun had no good face.
Not to mention, chaos in Taiping Road is imminent. When he took office this time, he just wanted to clean up the personnel in the county and gather troops and supplies. He really didn't want to get into trouble.
Of course, I have to say it again... Guo Xun was born in the Guo family of Taiyuan. He was from a famous family. Not only did his brother Guo Hong serve as the governor of Liangzhou, but his younger brother Guo Mian even had an affair with Gongsun Xun in Yanmen.
After going back and forth, now he came overnight as the uncle of Yizhou, he can't turn people away, can he?!
In this way, Guo Xun still broke into the pavilion.
Under the bright lights, I saw that this man was over forty years old, and with a dignified appearance, he seemed to be a powerful and experienced official. However, this man's face dropped as soon as he came in, and he also changed his face when he saw Gongsun Xun.
With a straight face, it was obvious that something serious was going on.
To be honest, if he hadn't come from Jizhou, Gongsun Xun would have thought that Taiping Road had turned upside down in the middle of the night! Otherwise, why would such a person come here with a dark face and a dark face? Wouldn't it be better to wait in Zhuoxian? Why do he have to wait in Zhuoxian?
Deciding to open the door to show off your face?
Something was abnormal. As soon as he thought about it, Gongsun Xun first turned around and winked at Lu Fan, Shenpei and others, and then he said something and sent everyone back to sleep. Then he invited Guo Governor to come to the main room of the pavilion to talk alone.
.
"Gongsun Fujun," Guo Xun saw the other party retreating, and he couldn't help but sigh, before he excused himself and sat down. "This trip is presumptuous. But the matter has come to this, please sit down with me...I am not from Zhuo.
The county came here from Fan Yang."
Gongsun Xun nodded nonchalantly. These days, Zhuo County has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and two of them, or two cities, are particularly outstanding... One is naturally Zhuo County, where the name of the county comes from, and the other is Fan Yang.
.
Among them, Zhuoxian is in the north and Fanyang is in the south. They can be called the two core cities of Zhuoxian. Fanyu Pavilion, where Gongsun Xun was resting at this time, is probably more than a hundred miles away from Zhuoxian, but it is only thirty or forty miles away from Fanyang.
It's just a road... This also explains why the other party can appear here at this time.
After all, Gongsun Xun's trip was also because he was worried about chaos in the Yellow Turbans, so he came in a hurry without saying hello. The other party must have received the news in a hurry.
However, after understanding the reason why the other party appeared here, Gongsun Xun suddenly felt that something was wrong... because the more the other party's words sounded, the more they sounded like house arrest?
What does "that's the end of it, just sit back and relax with me"?!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Xun was completely speechless... Guo Xun, the governor of Yizhou, could not have defected to Taiping Dao, right? However, even if he defected to Taiping Dao to take a preemptive strike against himself, that would not be right! Just the ones at the door
Ten people, I'm afraid it's not enough for Guan Yunchang to lead them all to chop him down, right?! Even in this room, he, a young and strong man in his twenties, can't deal with such an old man in his forties.
Hold on?
Could it be that you broke some law?
"Why was Uncle Fang in Fan Yang before?" Gongsun Xun asked speechlessly. "Did you come specifically to greet me?"
"Why are you joking, Mr. Gongsun?" Guo Xun is a bit old after all, and his words are a bit tired. "Don't you know what I am doing in Fan Yang? If it weren't for the invitation of the Lu family in Fan Yang, why would you be so quick?
"
Gongsun Xun became more and more puzzled. After a long time, he asked: "Is it possible that someone in the Lu family of Fan Yang broke something?"
Guo Xun was furious for a moment: "My brother once said that Mr. Gongsun Mansion is a rare straightforward person. Why do you need to ask questions knowingly?"
Gongsun Xun was stunned and also a little surprised: "That means Fan Yang and Lu really broke the law, and then Guo Gong specially chose the opportunity before I took office to go to Fan Yang to deal with the matter. He also thought that I came to take office in a hurry to save Lu.
Mr. Lu, you just let people continue to deal with it in Fan Yang, and at the same time you come to block me in person?! I would like to ask, what did Master Lu’s sons do?"
Guo Xun glanced at the other party, but didn't answer a word, as if his prejudice was deeply rooted.
Gongsun Xun couldn't stop laughing when he saw this. It was also interesting that he actually became an 'obstacle' for others to enforce the law impartially.
However, first of all, Teacher Lu still has to give him face. If he really lets Teacher Lu's sons die in front of his eyes, there will be people stabbing his spine wherever he goes. Secondly, he, Gongsun Xun, is by no means weak and can be bullied.
He won't bear any stigma that he shouldn't bear! Not to mention that a big event is coming. If he loses his identity at this time, can Zhuojun be in his hands quickly?!
In other words, no matter what, the initiative in this matter needs to be in your own hands!
Thinking of this, the newly appointed governor of Zhuojun, Gongsun Xun, Marquis of Wuluting, suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
"Mr. Gongsun Mansion." Guo Xun was furious and hurried to stop him. "Please do this for the sake of clearing your name and don't make anyone laugh!"
"Guo Gong slandered my innocence, but he actually asked me to clear my name... Isn't this a ridiculous and generous move?" After saying that, Gongsun Xun gently pushed the other party onto the 'Taiwei's chair' and went straight out the door.
.
After all, Guo Xun was older, and he didn't expect that the other party, as a two-thousand-stone high-ranking official, would take action at his word. He staggered and fell on the chair. When he got up again and was about to chase him out, he saw two fans.
The door was immediately closed, and he kept knocking on the inside, but the outside was indifferent. Instead, there was a sudden noise and disturbance.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the door was opened. Under the light of the light, Governor Guo only saw a handsome scholar standing in front of the door with a smile. He bowed and bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Guo Xun's heart was burning and he didn't care to talk to this person. He hurriedly walked out again, only to see that all of his subordinates' faces turned red. They were unarmed one after another, and then they were led by a warrior with eagle eyes and thin beard.
More people gathered in the courtyard.
Without waiting for Governor Guo to speak, the warrior took the initiative to let his men disperse, returned their weapons, and allowed the state officials and soldiers to rush out to surround and surround his uncle.
Just when several officials were about to speak, Guo Xun walked out of the pavilion without stopping, and then stood helplessly in front of the door... Sure enough, all the horses were gone!
I regret that I still didn’t listen to my clan brother’s advice and underestimated this sharpest blade that is the best in the world!
How can political rules stop such people from becoming strong? It would be better to stay in Fanyang from the beginning, interrogate the merchants, officials, and wealthy families overnight, and set the charges early!
"Uncle Fang!" The handsome scribe from before came to him with a smile and bowed. "My lord asked me to stay and entertain Uncle Fang... You have been so old all night, why don't you go to bed early?"
The house has been vacated."
Guo Xun turned around and looked at this scribe who was about the same age as Gongsun Xun. He couldn't help but ask with a cold face: "I heard that there are two scribes from Henan who are close to Gongsun Mansion. One of them is good at planning, and his name is Lou Zibo.
A good judge is called Lu Ziheng... Judging from your accent, he must be one of them?"
"I didn't expect that my humble name would be known to Uncle Fang." The scribe smiled as usual. "I am Lu Fan from Runan. As for Uncle Zi, he went to Fan Yang with my lord just now."
Guo Xun looked at the other party again, and then asked solemnly with his hands behind his hands: "Looking at you, you are also a handsome person... Let me ask you, your prince has reached such a high status at a young age, but he actually has to do it for a group of merchants and merchants.
A dandy has ruined his reputation. As a minister, why don't you go and remonstrate with him, but instead help him do such a ridiculous thing?"
Lu Fan was still calm and calm: "Uncle Fang may have misunderstood. Although I don't know what is going on in Fan Yang, I know that my prince has nothing to do with it!"
"If it had nothing to do with it, why did it come so quickly?" Guo Xun laughed angrily. "I finally saw the opportunity when the two governors were not in Zhuo County, and prepared to clean up Fan Yang, but your prince actually only waited to take office.
The prefect Liu Wei arrived here three days after leaving Zhuojun..."
"Uncle Fang!" Lu Fan laughed again. "My prince has a strong and decisive character. He always takes office quickly... He really doesn't know about Fan Yang!"
Guo Xun was silent for a moment.
"Uncle Fang," Lu Ziheng took a step forward, still polite. "Now in this pavilion, there are still my mistress, three ladies, and two young gentlemen. Not only that, but also my wife,
My children and other family members are all still here... I would like to ask Uncle Fang, if my master gets a letter from someone to help some lawless people, where will he take his family with him? "
Guo Xun suddenly realized it, and then hurriedly looked at the road outside the door, but then looked back again: "In that case, why didn't your prince speak directly to me, and instead went directly to Fan Yang?"
Lu Fan smiled and said nothing.
Guo Xun understood immediately, and was extremely frustrated: "I accidentally made Gongsun Mansion think that I wanted to fight between states and counties. However, it's not that I can't trust your family, it's because Fan Yang's incident has not only affected the
The Fan Yang Lu family is also involved in your family..."
Lu Fan then became curious, but he first asked the other party to go inside to take shelter from the wind, and then asked Han Dang to make a show of apology, and then couldn't help but ask about the matter seriously.
It turns out that the matter has to start with the commercial struggle between Amway and the wealthy families in Jizhou in recent years.
In other words, the Anli Company led by the Gongsun family has now almost completely controlled the entire Youzhou trade, but it has always left some dignity to the wealthy families in Zhongshan and Anping in Jizhou. This makes Zhuojun a place where two commercial forces have a tacit understanding.
It is a buffer area, and Fanyang, because it is the gateway to Youzhou, has naturally become one of the core commercial intersections by virtue of its geographical advantages.
The development of commerce may be a good thing, but in the feudal era, in the eyes of some rulers who were deeply influenced by Confucianism, it was more likely to be a bad thing... A large number of second-level traders used Fanyang as a transit place, traveling between Hebei and Hebei, while interacting with local wealthy families.
They colluded to share the profits, and at the same time they supported a large number of rangers to survive through the benefits of trade, so that the locals were mixed with good and bad, and there were many illegal things.
As the governor, Guo Xun was very dissatisfied with this and wanted to rectify it several times.
However, Liu Wei, the former governor of Zhuojun, probably did not want to offend the local nobles who were closely involved in this matter, or it was possible that the county had obtained some financial benefits. Anyway, he never had any control over it, and even took some measures to protect it.
In addition, Gongsun Zan, the former Gongsun family member, also came to Zhuoxian for a time, which made Guo Xun unable to take action at all.
And now, with the departure of Liu Wei and Gongsun Zan, a person is obviously more involved in this matter than the two before. It may even be these businessmen and Lu's backstage Gongsun Xun is about to take office, which also forces Guo Xun to take risks.
!
The jealous and evil governor of Youzhou planned to take advantage of the vacuum period between the two governors to take direct and ruthless measures to deal with Fan Yang's businessmen and the Lu family of Fan Yang who was closely involved in this matter.
However, just when Guo Xun carefully sent Liu Wei away, Gongsun Zan spread rumors, causing a large number of traveling merchants to gather at Fan Yang, and was preparing to end the matter with thunderous force, Gongsun Xun suddenly arrived... Shocking
Next, Governor Guo asked Fan Yang to prepare for the attack early tomorrow morning, but at the same time he personally came to Fan Yuting overnight to stop Gongsun Xun.
"Zi Heng." Guo Xun picked up the hot soup and took a sip, and then continued to say with righteous indignation. "I am not an unreasonable person. If the world was peaceful, the people had enough food and clothing, and trade was booming, it might be a good thing. But what about now? Now Tan Tan
After Shihuai died, Xianbei began to loot excessively. People in Shanggu and Daijun were often robbed. The countryside in Zhuojun, Guangyang, and Yuyang also began to become poor. At this time, trade was booming.
Is it a good thing? The so-called "Eight Policies of Hong Fan", one is food, and the other is goods. You have to have food first before you can make goods, right?!"
Lu Fan naturally nodded repeatedly, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried... To be honest, Lou Zibo must be more knowledgeable about merchants and Amway accounts. As for Fan Yang and Lu's involvement in this, Shen Pei must be more knowledgeable!
However, both of them followed Gongsun Xun to Fan Yang overnight, and he could only listen here in confusion.
"Uh...Uncle Fang!" Lu Fan heard a few more words and could only ask helplessly. "According to the law, how many things did he commit?"
"In order to compete for business routes, those gangs of Yandi rangers fought with weapons many times. How many of them lost their lives?" Guo Xun sighed and put down the soup bowl in his hand. "Those traveling merchants only sell luxury goods all day long. On weekdays,
How many people are fighting for wealth and fame without bribery and instigation? As for the big families in the city, especially the Fanyang Lu family, they usually cover them and hide them... These people are united by profit, and many of them are
Doing illegal things and having one hair affect the whole body is really a great harm to Fan Yang!"
Lu Fan was speechless for a moment.
"Now that things have happened, I don't expect to be able to punish the Lu family." Guo Xun said more and more sadly. "I just ask that your monarch can enforce the law fairly and keep some serious criminals. Don't wait for me to find these other people when I go back."
There is no trace of this generation!”
"Mr. Guo thinks too much!" Lu Fan became increasingly speechless and could only curl his lips secretly in his heart.

"The Lu family in Zhuojun was a wealthy family in Fanyang, and had a long history of lawlessness.
