Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 254: The confrontation between Liu Hong and Fan Xian, those who wish to serve Pei Gong wear the left lapel

Fan Xian couldn't help but speak out loud.

"Liu Hong was clearly in Hangzhou, Jiangnan, why did he suddenly come to Jiaozhou, Dongshan!"

Shadow shook his head, not sure either.

A strong sense of fear arose in their hearts. They thought that without the help of the Supervisory Council, Liu Hong was almost blind in the entire Qing Kingdom.

It turns out that Liu Hong has other spies who can hide from the spies of the Supervisory Commission.

I just don't know whether it was the West Factory or the East Factory that did it.

They only rely on the Baoyue Tower guards in the three places of Anton.

Shadow didn't think that Liu Hong had such great power that he could quietly eliminate the Supervisory Commission's spies hidden in various places.

It can only be said that the Supervisory Commission can no longer control Liu Hong now.

Chang Kun was delighted and packed up slowly.

Now that Liu Hong is here, no matter what, Fan Xian cannot attack him.

After all, a dignified admiral of the navy died mysteriously in his mansion, and the shadow of the Supervisory Council and Fan Xian were here.

What does the world think?
They can't even do the most basic framing.

When Fan Xian was rushing to Jiaozhou City, Liu Hong was in the residence of Wu Zhizhou in Jiaozhou, gently flipping through official documents.

Like other places in Dongshan Road, wealthy families occupied most of the land, and the amount of silver they evaded taxes every year was countless.

Emperor Qing doesn't care about these things.

All he has to do is collect taxes.

Therefore, Wu Zhizhou had no choice but to join forces with the Jiaozhou Navy to smuggle goods to Dongyi City.

Well! It can only be said that a harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger, which applies not only to the people but also to the officials.

Wu Zhizhou did not have the courage to take action against the wealthy families, but he also had a conscience and could not bear to impose heavy taxes on the people, so he chose smuggling.

Liu Hong glanced at the account book and sighed softly.

"Alas... I didn't expect you guys to have gone this far."

When Wu Zhizhou heard this, he knew that the smuggling had been discovered.

Immediately his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

"Governor, please spare my life. I am helpless..."

Wu Zhizhou could never have dreamed that Liu Hong, who was supposed to be far away in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, would come to Jiaozhou like a fly.

He doesn't even have time to cook the books.

"What crime have you committed? You haven't disturbed the people and you've paid all the taxes. You're already a capable official."

"Not only is he innocent, but he has done a great job! These years have not been easy for you! You have to not only oppress the people, but also deal with the errands from above."

Liu Hong sighed, wrote a few words quickly, and stamped it with his seal of the Grand Commander.

Wu Heng, the governor of Jiaozhou, was appointed as the civil affairs envoy of Dongshan Road.

After reporting to the court, Wu Heng was transformed into a third-rank provincial governor.

Wu Heng saw that Liu Hong was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors said, and instead upgraded his own rank.

My nose felt sore and I fell to my knees, crying.

It’s not because of the promotion, but because someone finally understands me after all these years.

The noble families and common people in Jiaozhou pointed at his nose and cursed him, saying that he was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

But if there is no smuggling, one of the noble families and the common people will suffer.

What can Wu Heng do?
Liu Hong grabbed Wu Heng and spoke impatiently.

"You are not wrong, why are you crying? What is wrong is the officialdom atmosphere and the deformed laws of Qing Kingdom."

"I just came to your mansion today. The most important thing is to save Chang Kun's life."

When Wu Heng heard this, he was shocked.

The admiral of the navy is a first-rank official. Even Emperor Qing can't kill him at will, right?
Why listen to the Grand Commander? Chang Kun is in danger!
Bai Lang pushed open the door and spoke in a cold voice.

"Governor, the guards have surrounded the Admiral's residence, and the four hundred black cavalrymen of the Overwatch Council are now confronting us."

"Ok!"

Liu Hong nodded casually.

He handed the two letters that had been prepared long ago to Wu Heng.

"Move over 4,000 Jiaozhou soldiers to surround the Admiral's Mansion and protect Chang Kun's safety."

"Also, gather all the major admirals above the fifth rank in the navy and let them see how a first-rank admiral was assassinated!"

At this point, Liu Hong's tone turned cold. What a virtue!
Prime Minister, you want to abolish the prime minister system easily by cheating in the imperial examinations.

As a high-ranking frontier official and a first-rank naval admiral, you still want to stabilize your regime easily through assassination.

It seems that you, Emperor Qing, want all the good things in the world, but you don’t want to take responsibility, right?

Since Emperor Qing did not learn his lesson from the last incident with the ceremonial bell.

This time, Liu Hong personally slapped Emperor Qing and Fan Xian.

The emperor should follow the way of the king, be upright and dignified, and bless the world.

He mixed tyranny with power, suppressed all the enemies with his majesty, and had a legitimate reason to go to war.

What is the difference between Emperor Qing's behavior and punishing without teaching, which is cruelty?
How could an emperor be like a commoner of the bourgeoisie, always staring at the petty profits in front of him!

Wu Heng had just been promoted, and Liu Hong, like a confidant, comforted him.

It was time to fulfill his ambition, so he nodded quickly, without telling his subordinates, and personally mobilized the Jiaozhou soldiers and went out of the city to invite the naval commanders.

Originally, Fan Xian also considered that the Jiaozhou soldiers might cause trouble.

Therefore, using his authority as the Chief of the Censorate and his status as the Deputy Governor of Andong with judicial power, he strictly ordered the Jiaozhou soldiers to stay in the camp and not to come out.

However, with the transfer order from Liu Hong, the Grand Commander of Andong, the prefect came in person.

The Jiaozhou soldiers became uneasy, sensing that something big was about to happen on Dongshan Road.

But who can blame Liu Hong for holding a higher official position?

Fan Xian is of the junior first rank, while Liu Hong is of the regular first rank!
The Jiaozhou soldiers chose to obey Liu Hong's orders and slowly stepped out of the camp.

Wang Qinian, who had been in charge of monitoring the Jiaozhou soldiers, became anxious.

Although he did not approve of Fan Xian's assassination plan, Fan Xian was very kind to him and treated him as a close friend.

At this critical moment, how could Wang Qinian not take action?

He immediately ran to the Jiaozhou soldiers, scolded them harshly, and took out the imperial edict.

"Here is the imperial decree. Do you want to rebel? Fantis ordered you not to move. If anyone dares to leave this camp, it will be considered a rebellion and the three clans will be exterminated!"

Under the threat of the imperial edict, the Supervisory Council, and the Yi tribes.

The Jiaozhou soldiers hesitated again, looking at the white line in front of the camp, and did not dare to take a step forward for a long time.

This means the extermination of three clans!
Aren’t they heading to Jiaozhou City from the camp?
As for linking it to rebellion?

Seeing the Jiaozhou soldiers stop their actions again, Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief and his expression began to relax.

In keeping with the character of a seasoned veteran, he smiled and bowed to Wu Heng.

"Master Wu, it looks like you will return empty-handed today. I hope you don't mind! We each serve our own masters, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Wu Heng fell silent.

Indeed, he was an official under the Grand Commander of Andong.

It is only natural to follow the order of the Grand Commander and go to Jiaozhou to mobilize troops.

As for the fact that the adjustment has not been made, we can only say that the imperial edict is in our hands and we are powerless to do anything about it.

But Wu Heng inexplicably felt a surge of courage in his heart, and shouted at the Jiaozhou soldiers.

"I wish to be the Grand Commander and wear the left lapel!"

The Jiaozhou soldiers were all stunned and stood silently in the direction of Wu Heng.

Wang Qinian frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Although Fan Xian is rich and famous throughout the world, he is known as the hope of the literary world and the successor of Zhuang Mohan.

However, his influence in the military is clearly several blocks behind Liu Hong.

After all, the strong are respected in the army.

Liu Hong, who improved the treatment of soldiers, made use of military personnel, and was able to win battles, was obviously the general in the eyes of all soldiers.

Wang Qinian spoke in a rather timid tone.

"Wu Zhizhou, I advise you not to do anything stupid. This is disobeying the emperor's order and you will be beheaded."

"I was just promoted by the Grand Commander to the position of Civil Affairs Envoy of Dongshan Road. A third-rank official shouldn't be beheaded right away, right?"

Wu Heng smiled, not knowing where the courage in his heart came from.

He and Liu Hong had only known each other for a few hours.

He was willing to do things against Liu Hong's will.

Is his brain really broken?
