Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "We announced to the public that we died after falling into the well, but in fact we died after falling into the toilet after getting drunk, because I was still on the way back to Beihai County from Qi County. When I came back, his body had been buried. I heard from Wang Junzheng that Liang's wife did not allow coroners to be investigated for autopsy at that time, and his two sons had no objection, so I will not investigate this matter further. I wonder what news did the envoy Cui hear?"

Zhang Xuan’s implication is that even his two sons think there is no problem, what do you think?

Cui Huan certainly understood what Zhang Xuan meant. He sneered in his heart and continued, "But Liang's wife Feng told me personally that when the burial was injected, Liang's sword wound was injured on the back of his neck. This proves that he was not accidentally missed, but was assassinated. Does General Zhang understand what I mean?"

"So why didn't his wife tell me this at that time?"

Zhang Xuan frowned. After a moment of pondering, he stood up decisively and said, "Since that's the case, dig a grave and examine the autopsy, and investigate the truth about Liang's death!"

Zhang Xuan's words suddenly forced Choi Huan to the corner. The man had been buried and was buried in peace. How could he dig it out again? Besides, even if he dig it out, there was no clue. It was just a sword injury. Who would be assassinating? Nothing could be found. ∽↗∽↗,

Cui Huan waved his hand quickly and said, "General Zhang, please calm down. I have no other intentions. I just said that Liang Taishou died too miserably, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Zhang Xuan sat down slowly again, and he knew very well. Although Choi Huan didn't say it clearly, he was actually hinting that Liang Zhi was killed by him. After all, Zhang Xuan was the biggest beneficiary and some things could not be explained, but both sides knew it very well.

But so what if he knows, would Zhang Xuan admit that he killed Liang Zhi himself? Could Choi Hwan find any evidence?

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "Actually, I also heard some gossips saying that I, Zhang Xuan, assassinated Liang Taishou in order to seize power. I don't pay attention to such nonsense. I believe the court will make a fair decision. I have sent someone to the court for the death of Liang Taishou, and the court will send a new prefect to the court soon. At that time, the rumors will be broken."

"I also heard some rumors that General Zhang was the biggest beneficiary of Liang's death."

Zhang Xuan sneered, "I, Zhang Xuan, is not a beneficiary, Cui Jun should know. I just reached a compromise with Liang Prefect, and Liang Prefect died. I am one of the biggest victims."

Cui Huan had nothing to say for a moment. In fact, to a large extent, he did not feel heartbroken by Liang Zhi, but Liang Zhi died. The Cui family's largest power in Qingzhou was removed. The court sent a new prefect, which must belong to a certain force in the court. What should he do with his Cui family?

Cui Huan pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I want to discuss with General Zhang. We don't want the court to send a new prefect to Beihai County to see if there is any way to recommend the new prefect who we are all satisfied with, preferably someone who we are familiar with."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but curse in his heart, what does Beihai County have to do with Cui Clan in Qinghe? Liang Zhi died, and the Cui family wanted to intervene. It was simply shameless.

In fact, Zhang Xuan did not write a report to the court at all, and it was not his turn to Zhang Xuan to write the report. If he wanted to write it, it would be written by the county magistrate Wang Yunqian. At least it would have to be delayed until next year. After everything was working normally, Zhang Xuan would ask Wang Yunqian to write a report back.

Of course Choi Huan knew this, and Zhang Xuan could not write a report to the court. It was unreasonable for both reason and reason. He was just saying this.

Cui Huan said again: "Beihai County is far away from the imperial court. There are bandits on the road, and the report cannot be sent to the imperial court at all. I don't know about other counties, but at least Qinghe County and Bohai County have not contacted the imperial court for two years. In fact, the imperial court does not care about the situation of the local government. Why should we recommend a temporary prefect to maintain local stability? What do the general think?"

This is Cui Huan's real purpose in coming to Yidu County this time. Beihai County has always been the sphere of influence of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

Although Liang was dead now, he was unwilling to lose control of Beihai County. So he wanted to find someone who could accept both sides to temporarily serve as the prefect so that the Cui family would not completely lose control of Beihai County.

Zhang Xuan already understood what Choi Hwan meant, and he asked without saying a word: "I wonder who Choi Jun thinks is more suitable?"

Cui Huan smiled, "General Zhang thought of Teng Xuan. He used to be the magistrate of Linzi County and was highly respected in Beihai County. If he was willing to come forward, not only would he maintain order in Beihai County and be convinced, but even if the court knew about it, there was nothing to say. After all, it was a common practice for aristocratic families to come forward to maintain local order."

If it were someone else, Zhang Xuan would have punched Choi Hwan a few times. He had never seen such a shameless person. He thought Choi Hwan would mention Wang Yunqian, but he didn't expect Choi Hwan to nominate Teng Hyun. No matter how hard he was, Teng Hyun would not be the prefect.

Moreover, Cui Huan is very cunning. He nominated Teng Xuan. Once the court pursues the matter, he will take responsibility himself, but he has nothing to do with him, the prefect of Bohai County.

Zhang Xuan no longer gave him face and said directly: "I have asked the Grand Marshal for this matter. The Grand Marshal means to act according to the court's convention and let the county magistrate temporarily take the position of prefect. In addition, it may not work to conceal the court. After all, the military supervisor Xiao Huairang is in Qi County. Even if we don't say anything, Xiao Huairang will definitely report such a major matter. I decided to remind the Grand Marshal Wang to report to the court as soon as possible."

Choi Huan looked disappointed. He used the condition that he did not pursue Liang Zhi's death in exchange for Zhang Xuan's concessions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan actually nominated Wang Yunqian. Wang Yunqian was a person without any opinion. It was clearly that Zhang Xuan himself wanted to control Beihai County.

Choi Huan's face changed from disappointment to resentment. He said with a gloomy face and was very dissatisfied: "Is Liang Zhi's death a thing that is left alone?"

At this time, Zhang Xuan no longer wanted to talk to him. He took out the letter Gao Hui gave him and put it on the table, "I just gave Taishou Cui face, and wanted to make things worse. If Taishou Cui must investigate the cause of Liang Zhi's death, then I can only tell the truth. I think Liang Zhi committed suicide for fear of crime, or someone wanted to kill him to silence him. Taishou Cui will know after reading this letter."

After saying that, Zhang Xuan turned around and left. Choi Huan picked up the letter in confusion and slowly opened it and read it. He was immediately full of anger. This damn Liang Zhi dared to betray him and surrender to the Bohai Association. It is worth mercy to die!

Cui Huan sighed for a while. It seemed that the Cui family was really losing control of Beihai County.

......

Cui Huan did not stay in Yidu County for too long. After leaving the county government, he went back to the Bohai Sea directly. Zhang Xuan was still angry and stood in front of the window and stared at the few sparrows for food in the yard in a cold look.

At this time, Wei Yunqi slowly walked behind him and asked in a low voice: "Cui Huan rushed away angrily. Did the general turn against him?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "He proposed to let Teng Xuan be the prefect, but I refused it. No matter how hard it was, Teng Xuan would not be the turn. He still wanted to continue to control Beihai County and make his dream of spring and autumn!"

Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "Actually, Teng Xuan is not that bad either. He is not a bad person. Of course, he is not allowed to be the prefect. The meaning of a humble position is that this person is worth fighting for and can be fought for."

Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, and Wei Yunqi continued: "Teng Xuan does not want to be Cui Huan's lackey, but his strength is too weak and has been used by Liang Zhi, but he has not gained any benefits, which forced him to rely on the Cui family of Qinghe. However, in any case, he is a local snake in Beihai County. If the general wants to gain a foothold in Beihai County, he still has to try his best to win Teng Xuan and make him escape from the control of Cui family of Qinghe."

Zhang Xuan's face gradually calmed down a little, and he asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any ideas sir?"

Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "I think I can recruit some civilian officers in Beihai County and enrich the army. We just need it, so we can select the children of the direct line from several major families, so that the Beihai family can stand on the same line as us."

"But in this way, the end of the day will be too big in the future!" Zhang Xuan sighed softly.

Wei Yunqi was silent for a moment, "I understand the general's concerns, but many times we must face the reality. If a general wants to develop, he must get the support of famous families. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a person like the general who has no background in the famous family and no prominent background in the Sui Dynasty. Just like the general, although he is very powerful, he will never get recognition from the court and the local government. The reason is that he has no background in his life."

Zhang Xuan had to admit that Wei Yunqi mentioned the core point. The reason why Zhang Xutuo was not popular in the court or in the local area was not that he could not be a human being, but the fundamental reason was that he was born.
