Two days later, Cui Wenjing placed a copy of Pan Liao's materials on Tian Wenxiu's desk.
"Jianjun, I have sorted out more than a dozen issues in the past two days. After a little screening, I feel that three issues are more serious. One is suspected of seeking personal gain. He is in charge of the winery and vineyards and supplies wine to Chang'an. The price is relatively high.
The other two wineries have a 10% discount. Last year, the wine revenue alone was nearly 200,000 yuan, and there was a profit of 20,000 yuan. I seriously doubt that he enriched his own pockets.
The second problem is that his official residence has fifteen acres, which seriously exceeds the imperial limit of five acres for governors.
The third question is that he has committed an act of immorality. He has an illegitimate son and is currently living in Liangzhou, which violates the regulations of the imperial court."
Tian Wenxiu looked at it and asked, "The house our family lives in is about twenty acres! Is there any violation of regulations?"
Cui Wenjing thought for a while and said: "The imperial court did not regulate how big a house the supervisor should live in. Tian Jianjun doesn't have to worry about this problem."
"What about Mr. Guo? I heard that his house has more than thirty acres. Is it too big?"
Cui Wenjing shook her head, "He is Duke Xia. According to his title, he can live in a house of fifty acres. My official residence is thirteen acres, which is only slightly larger."
"In this case, don't use the official residence to make a fuss, as it will give people a reason to fight back."
"The supervisor is right. It is really not well thought out to use official residences to discuss matters. Local officials in various states and counties basically exceed the regulations."
Tian Wenxiu read the materials again and said, "It's almost done. We will use it to handle the first case in Hexi!"
.........
In the morning, Guo Song inspected the winter conditions of the soldiers in the military camp in the city. The soldiers had all moved to the military camp in the city. The military buildings were not reduced in size, but the training ground was gone. There was only a small martial arts field for the soldiers to move around.
"I would like to inform you that the food supply for the soldiers is relatively sufficient. Each person has one catty of rice, half a catty of meat and three taels of pickled vegetables per day. The military salary can also be paid in time..."
Guo Song remembered something and asked Cang Cao, who joined the army: "But I heard that the soldiers complained that the mutton you gave them was a bit stale. Is this true?"
"That's what happened, but I can't help it if I'm humble."
"How do you say it?" Guo Song asked.
Kuracao joined the army with a confused look on his face: "Many of the sheep were slaughtered last year and were piled in the underground ice cellar. It is almost a year old and will definitely not be too fresh. Although there is also fresh mutton, we have to use up what was saved from last year.
That’s all.”
"How long will it take?"
"About ten days or so."
Guo Song nodded, "Tomorrow morning at General No. 4, you will explain the situation clearly to everyone without saying anything. Of course everyone will have opinions."
"I know my fault for my humble position!"
At this moment, a manager came to report in a panic: "Your Majesty, something happened!"
Guo Song frowned, "What happened in a panic?"
"Pan Changshi was arrested by the prison guards and is interrogating him in the lobby."
"What a nonsense!"
Guo Song was immediately annoyed and immediately ordered: "Go back to the military office!"
He led dozens of cavalry from the Internal Affairs Battalion and quickly rushed back to the official office of Jiedu Prefecture.
Guo Song quickly walked into the lobby and saw Pan Liao kneeling on the ground with his arms tied behind his back, and Tian Wenxiu sitting on top with her legs crossed, drinking tea and interrogating him.
"Tian Jianjun, what are you doing?" Guo Song asked sharply.
"Haha! Our family knew someone would run to report it."
Tian Wenxiu laughed sinisterly and said: "Our family received a report that Pan Liao was seeking personal gain and enriching himself. The emperor will never tolerate this kind of thing. As a supervisor sent by the emperor, our family cannot tolerate it either, so we must interrogate him.
clear."
Guo Song drew out his sword and struck Pan Liao. The rope was cut, and Pan Liao said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't..."
Guo Song waved his hand, "You don't need to say anything. I'll ask you about this."
He turned his eyes to Tian Wenxiu again, "Pan Changshi is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. He only kneels on his knees to the Lord of Heaven and Earth and his master. You have no right to make him kneel, let alone bind him!"
Tian Wenxiu snorted softly, "Shijun Guo, don't forget, our family is the supervisory army. This army not only refers to soldiers, but also all officials, including the emperor. Our family now suspects Pan Liao of corruption.
Public funds.”
"Does Supervisor Tian have any evidence?"
"We have a report here. Of course, a report alone cannot lead to a conviction, but our family feels that Pan Liao is indeed suspicious, so what do you think we should do?"
"You can ask Tian Jianjun if you have any questions. This is your duty, but you have to find out how to do it. Pan Changshi is a member of the court, not a criminal. If you continue to use violence against court officials, I will write to the emperor and request that the supervisor be replaced!
"
Tian Wenxiu drooped his eyelids and said coldly: "What a powerful Jiedushi, you seem to have forgotten that we have the Shangfang Emperor Sword in our hands. You can kill it first and then show it. If you dare to speak to us like this again, we will behead you!"
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Song laughed disdainfully, "The entourage led by Tian Jianjun is too few! There have been Tubo spies in Zhangye recently. I'm afraid my head will be beheaded by the Tubo people at night. I can't help you."
The emperor will explain."
Tian Wenxiu's expression changed drastically, "Guo Song, do you dare to threaten our family?"
"Did I threaten you? I'm just kindly reminding you that Tian Jianjun hasn't been to Suzhou since he came to Hexi! It seems that he hasn't been to Shazhou either. This is not a qualified supervisor! He just went to Suzhou and Shazhou
Wild wolves appear on the roads. I remind you to be careful. There are hundreds of wild wolves in the Hexi Corridor. They will not stop killing their prey when they find it. Don’t be chewed to pieces.”
Tian Wenxiu turned livid with anger and said fiercely: "I will also copy your tricks. I will write a letter to the emperor and expose your attempt to rebel by relying on your own troops!"
Guo Song stared at him with murderous intent in his eyes and said: "If that day comes, I will definitely kill you to sacrifice the flag. Yuan Xilang, you can't run away!"
Tian Wenxiu was struck dumb as if by lightning. The secret he had hidden for eighteen years was unceremoniously revealed at the most unexpected time and in the most unexpected place.
........
After a tit-for-tat confrontation, the parties involved fell silent. Pan Liao was not punished in any way, and Tian Wenxiu never asked him again, as if nothing had happened.
But the news that Guo Song had fallen out with the eunuchs of the supervisory army quickly spread throughout Zhangye City. Some people applauded Guo Song for his toughness, but more people were worried about Guo Song. If he offended the supervisory army, it meant that he would be dismissed from office soon.
.
At night, Guo Song was sitting in the study reading. Xue Tao brought a cup of tea and asked worriedly: "I heard that your husband and the supervisor have fallen out?"
"Have you heard about it, Madam?" Guo Song said with a slight smile.
"The whole Zhangye City is going viral. How could I not know? I understand your husband's feelings. That eunuch is very hateful, but your husband should still endure it!"
"If you endure it, he won't impeach me?"
Guo Song laughed and said, "If you knew that he was a slave of the Yuan family before entering the palace, I'm afraid you wouldn't persuade me to endure it."
"Ah!" Xue Tao was shocked. This supervisor turned out to be from her husband's enemy family. This would be a big trouble.
Xue Tao immediately said anxiously: "Husband, you should write to the emperor to explain clearly, so that he will not believe too much in the words of this supervisor."
Guo Song shook his head gently, "You think things are too simple. If the emperor didn't trust Tian Wenxiu, he wouldn't let him be the supervisor. Similarly, if the emperor trusted me, he wouldn't send the supervisor, or even ask him to be the supervisor.
Let my wife and daughter go to Chang'an as hostages to fight Tian Wenxiu in the emperor's court, and I am destined to fail."
"But the Yuan family has a grudge against you, and Tian Wenxiu is from the Yuan family."
Guo Song hugged his beloved wife and whispered: "Emperors from ancient times to the present have only cared about one thing. Will you rebel and seize his kingdom? Everything else is not important. As long as he has the slightest suspicion, he will be merciless.
If you kill him, he will never be merciful even if he is his own son. Are there many such cases? At most, he will be given a nice name after his death. Emperors have always believed that the dead will not take away his kingdom."
"What should we do?"
Xue Tao said anxiously: "Husband, I don't want to serve as an official anymore. Let's go far away and stay anonymous!"
Guo Song comforted her and said: "I have already started to prepare for the retreat. Even if you relax, the emperor will be cautious and will not completely believe Tian Wenxiu's words and force me to rebel. At this time, if he wants to go all out to reduce the vassal, he will definitely
I won’t cause trouble behind my back.”
Xue Tao sighed softly, "Being with you is like being with a tiger!"
His wife's sentiments resonated with Guo Song, "You are absolutely right. Although the Yuan family used poisonous tricks to harm me, the emperor is not a brainless person. If he doesn't want to touch me, no matter how many vicious tricks are used, it will be useless. The key is
It was Tang and Tibet who reached an alliance, and the west was temporarily safe. The emperor no longer valued me as much as before. I experienced it deeply when I went to Chang'an last time. He received me for less than a cup of tea, and he behaved well.
Very impatient, this is the fundamental reason why the Yuan family's poisonous plan succeeded."
