Chapter 30 Premeditated

After Liu Fuguo left the gate of the bureau, he rode his horse and took his personal guard back to his garrison, and the left guard officials also left. Zhang Runda and Sun Zuowang wanted to discuss with him, but when they watched Liu Fuguo go away, Zhang and Sun cursed secretly, they could only go back to the garrison with their subordinates.

Liu Fuguo returned to the garrison station and felt that every military household he met on the road seemed to mock him. Everyone was gloating. This made him even more angry. He directly beat the horse back to his house, turned over and got out of the horse and entered the yard. The housekeeper Liu Cheng hurriedly went forward. Seeing that his master looked ugly, he asked with a smile: "The master is back? Just now, the servant bought fresh big Yellow River carp, and he was still jumping around. The little one ordered the piece to be a fish fillet. The master will be able to eat fresh and tender fish fillets in a while!"

Liu Fuguo snorted, walked towards the study without looking back, and ordered: "Go and call the master. No one is allowed to enter within fifty steps outside the study, go quickly!"

Liu Cheng hurriedly agreed and asked his servants to prepare tea for the master, and then entered from the side door to a small courtyard inside. This was the residence of Yang Mingsheng, the master hired by Liu Fuguo.

After arriving in the yard, Yang Mingsheng was dazed in front of a bamboo in the corner of the wall with his hands on his back, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Liu Cheng coughed, and Yang Mingsheng slowly turned around and looked at Liu Cheng.

He is about thirty years old, with a slightly dark complexion, a high nose bridge, narrow eyes, tight lips, and a thin and upright figure.

He was a child of Yichuan County, Yan'an Prefecture. He had a wife and a daughter. His wife was born to an old boy in the county. He was gentle and virtuous. He only got a daughter in his twenties. The couple regarded him as a pearl in their palms.

Although Yang Mingsheng was a student at the age of 20, he failed many times. In order to support his family, he later became a Mr. Xi in a local gentry's family. The master treated him quite generously. Although the family of three was not rich, he lived a very good life with his three taels a month.

But all the good things were broken half a year ago. The bandit general Li Zicheng led his troops from Henan to Suizhou to return to Shaanxi, and then the troops headed north to go back to his hometown Suide to recruit soldiers. He captured the prefectures and counties where he passed through. Yichuan was within the scope of Li Zicheng's sweep. There were only a few hundred people in the county town, so he could not withstand the attack of more than ten thousand rebels. He was captured after only one hour. The magistrate and the chief clerk committed suicide to his country.

After the bandits entered the city, they robbed the silver. Yang Mingsheng's boss was not spared and the whole family was slaughtered. Yang Mingsheng did not go to class that day because his daughter was sick. He escaped by chance. He took his wife and young man to rob money while the bandits were robbing money. He had no time to take care of it and escaped from the county town. Then he followed the fleeing crowd to Xi'an Prefecture.

On the way, he was robbed by a small group of thieves several times, and his wife was shot into a vital position by a bow and arrow. Yang Mingsheng carried his five-year-old daughter and finally fled to Xi'an Prefecture after many hardships. Yang Mingsheng was afraid that the north of Xi'an would not be safe, so he walked southwest for several days before he arrived at the jurisdiction of the Xi'an Zuo Guard.

The father and daughter were already ragged and hungry, and fell to the entrance of Longfu Inn, where Sun Chuanting lived when he visited the left guard last time. The shopkeeper was a kind-hearted person, so he asked the clerk to carry the two into the store for treatment and provide a small courtyard for the two to live in.

Yang Mingsheng and his daughter recovered a few days later, and they expressed their sympathy for the shopkeeper's identity and experience. After knowing that Yang Mingsheng was a scholar, he respected him very much, provided food on time, and agreed to let his father and daughter live for a long time. As a scholar, Yang Mingsheng also had a strong sense of self-esteem. Although he was extremely grateful, he planned to leave the place after a period of recuperation and completely recovered.

When the shopkeeper asked where he was going, Yang Mingsheng was confused. At this time, he realized that although the Ming Dynasty was great, he had no place to settle down.

The shopkeeper advised his daughter to be young and could not stand the fright of running around again, so he settled here for a few years. When his daughter grew up, he had no choice but to stay. The shopkeeper learned through his cousin, who served as the assistant rank of the garrison, that the commander Liu Fuguo was missing a gentleman who handled copywriting and was asking around to recruit people. However, there were no scholars in several households in the garrison, and scholars from nearby prefectures were willing to work at a military husband's house, so they were not found.

Yang Mingsheng was worried that he would not want to live under someone else's house. When the shopkeeper came back, he immediately agreed to apply for a job in Liu Fu's country. Liu Fuguo didn't know a lot of big words. The original copywriting of the garrison was that he hired a down-and-out old Tongsheng from Xingping County to help him handle it. On the grounds of old age and physical weakness, Old Tongsheng resigned and returned to his hometown. His subordinates were all illiterate. Faced with the various orders sent from the Shangfeng, none of the various instructions issued by the court could understand.

Although the soldiers in the garrison were in name only, there were still thousands of people in name only. They wrote letters to the court to ask for money for money, and even if a certain position was vacant, they had to report candidates to the court, etc., all of which needed to be handled by those who knew the text and verified the words.

Yang Mingsheng's arrival made Liu Fuguo very happy. He came forward to take the exam in person and observed secretly.

Although Yang Mingsheng failed many tests, he was very talented. For copywriting that he had never worked before, he only needed to take out the manuscript left by his ex and read it carefully, and immediately knew what to do. His agility and broad thinking made Liu Fuguo admire him very much.

Since Yang Mingsheng took office for two months, he has been very satisfied with the various letters and the imperial decrees related to the Weishu.

After hearing that Yang Mingsheng and his daughter lived in the inn of the institute, Liu Fuguo generously allocated a courtyard from his home and let Yang Mingsheng and his daughter live in directly. As a scholar, Yang Mingsheng looked down on his martial arts from the bottom of his bones, he was still very grateful to Liu Fuguo for such kindness. Since then, the father and daughter finally had a home that belonged to them temporarily.

Seeing Yang Mingsheng turn around, Liu Cheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, you are back from the provincial government. Please go to the study quickly and discuss important matters!"

Yang Mingsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"For some reason, the villain just saw that the master looked very bad and very angry!" Liu Cheng replied.

"Well, I got it, I'll go there now!"

After saying that, Yang Mingsheng walked towards the study, while Liu Cheng went to work on other things.

When he came to the study, he heard a crisp sound inside, as if the teacup fell to the ground. Yang Mingsheng walked into the house in confusion, and saw Liu Fuguo walking back and forth with his hands on his back, cursing constantly in his mouth. There was a water stain on the ground, and a celadon teacup was still broken into several petals.

Yang Mingsheng bowed and said, "Wen Dong, why are you so angry?"

Liu Fuguo suddenly turned around, walked a few steps to Yang Mingsheng, grabbed his hands and said anxiously: "Sir, you are here, something big happened this time! Maybe this time the Liu family will break the family!"

Yang Mingsheng calmly pulled out his hands and bowed, "Wen Dong, why are you so anxious? Let's sit down and talk slowly?"

Liu Fuguo slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, ye

After the two sat down, Liu Fuguo completely explained what Sun Chuanting said today. Although he was illiterate, he had a good memory and basically said Sun Chuanting's words intact. Even the reactions of everyone on the field were clearly described.

After listening to his narrative, Yang Mingsheng frowned and stroked his beard and pondered. Liu Fuguo did not dare to disturb his thinking, but just stared at him nervously.

After a while, Yang Mingsheng sighed and said, "Dongweng, I think this matter is extremely difficult. To put it bluntly, the three guards of Xi'an are doomed this time, and they have not been able to get along with each other for a certain time!"

After hearing this, Liu Fuguo's face was full of disappointment and sighed: "Even a talent like Mr. cannot think of a way. Could it be that the accumulation of the Liu family for several generations will be destroyed by me, Liu? Then, if I go underground in the future, how can I meet my ancestors? Alas!"

Yang Mingsheng advised: "Dongweng, this time the governor came with the emperor's order. This is where the righteousness is located and the army is famous. After more than a month, he sent generals hundreds of miles to attack and kill the Jinqi King of Shanyang. This is to shock those who are ill-behaved and disobey, and this is to establish authority. The garrison is corrupt and the military households are suffering. The governor takes the opportunity to rectify and trap the military households and the fire. This is the will of the people. Whoever wants to block this matter is not only the court represented by the governor, but also the powerful official troops under his command. Even the military households in the garrison will never agree! The governor is a open plot and has no plan to deal with it unless..."

Liu Fuguo became more and more upset when he heard the last sentence. When he heard the last sentence, he was immediately excited and asked hurriedly: "Sir, unless something?"

Yang Mingsheng shook his head and said nothing.

Liu Fuguo said angrily: "Although Mr. Yang has not been here for a long time, I think Mr. Liu treats you well. Now my Liu family is bound to be doomed. If we follow the rules of the dog governor, the huge family business of my Liu family will be left. What is the food and drink for hundreds of people in the future? Mr. Yang, just say it. It's time, why are you still hiding it?"

Yang Mingsheng sighed and said slowly, "Dongweng, these words come from your mouth and come to your ears. I will not admit this, and what I want to say is a ruthless word. Whether or not Dongweng does or not does it has nothing to do with me!"

Liu Fuguo hesitated for a moment and said cruelly: "Mr. Please tell me directly that how to choose has nothing to do with me. Liu will bear all the consequences!"

Yang Mingsheng looked at Liu Fuguo with a firm look and felt a little reluctant. After all, Liu Fuguo was kind to his father and daughter, but considering the future of his and his daughter, he still made up his mind.

He spoke: "Actually, I have considered taking the officialdom path just now. I used the Shangguan to suppress the governor and force him to take back the words of the garrison. That is the best way. But in the past few months since I arrived at Dongwen, I have read almost all the letters of contact between Dongwen. From it, we can see that although Dongwen's family is rich, he is only the chief of the garrison. He is not civil or military. He accumulates most of the accumulated wealth and property, and he has little contact with civil and military officials. As far as I know, Dongwen can communicate with the highest level of civil servants in Shaanxi is the Shaanxi Military Bureau. This is because he has the money and food allocated by the imperial court. Dongwen is a good friend and is considered Dongwen's immediate superior. The military Bureau is also a real power figure in the officialdom of Shaanxi, but compared with Lord Sun, who is governed by the will of heaven, it is really not worth mentioning, so this path has been blocked!"

Liu Fuguo knew that what he said was true, so he did not defend himself, but just listened quietly.

Yang Mingsheng sighed again and then said, "Unless Dongweng follows the words of the governor, if he wants to make the Liu family prosperous for a long time, then he can only remove it. Only this picture can protect the Liu family's present and future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fuguo jumped up suddenly, his face full of horror, pointed at Yang Mingsheng, and said tremblingly: "Kill the governor? Isn't that just zào    fǎn? What's your idea? What's your heart? You want to make the whole Liu family behead you!"

Yang Mingsheng looked at him calmly and said, "Dong Weng is not impatient, killing an official does not mean zào     fǎn. I have already said this just now. No matter how I say it, whether to do it or not depends on Dong Weng's own choices and has nothing to do with me. Before I finished speaking, Dong Weng was so panicked. Then I will finish this and end this matter!"

After Liu Fuguo came back to his senses, he returned to his seat and sat down slowly, stared at the door, and said coldly: "Okay, since that's the case, you'd better tell me thoroughly. I want to hear how to kill a province's borders, it's not considered zào     fǎn!"

Seeing that he had such an attitude, Yang Mingsheng knew that if he could not make the words clear, he would probably not be able to make a good decision today.

"Sir, killing an official does not mean zào     fǎn. It depends on who killed it. The student did not let the adults do this evil thing in person. If he pretended to remove the governor, the governor would be replaced by others. According to the students' understanding of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, the person who took over may not do his previous job again, and the rectification of the garrison will probably end up in vain. However, the student still sincerely admires Lord Sun. Judging from his actions, he is indeed considering the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. If the student had not been taken in by the adults' great kindness, the student would never have made this plan to harm Lord Sun!" Yang Mingsheng said.

When Liu Fuguo heard this, his attitude changed and he said, "Pretending others? How do you do this plan by sir? Tell me quickly!"

Yang Mingsheng smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the most important thing about this matter is the determination of the adults. How to act is secondary. The student's plan is actually very simple. Now the adults must make sufficient preparations. When the time limit is almost reached, the generals and officials of the governor are unwilling to act according to the regulations set by the governor. If they gather together to cause trouble, they can no longer suppress them. Please come here in order to intimidate the rest of the people. If nothing unexpected happens, in order to avoid being despised, the governor will definitely come. The adults organize their subordinates and confidants, the more people, the better, causing chaos in the situation. When the fake play is done, they will be besieged by the governor. However, the governor's camp is extremely tough and cannot be defeated. The adults stand up and pretend to cover up, and then take the governor into his own courtyard and close the gate, so as to separate the governor from his personal guards. At this time, even if there are guards around the governor, they will not be able to fight.

There are many things to do. The adults prepare elite servants in the house in advance. After killing them in one fell swoop, they can open the gate of the courtyard and let a group of troublemakers enter the house. The adults should be injured and fall into a coma when they are in trouble. Even if the governor's personal guards kill others, it will be useless. Moreover, the adults are seriously injured for the escort, and even if the court pursues them in the future, they will have nothing to do with the adults. What's more, according to the convention of our dynasty, they will be delayed when encountering trouble.

If the court really wants to send personnel to investigate, it will take a lot of time, and the result will often be left alone. Also, whether Xi'an's vanguard and the rear guards also need to participate is the adult's own business. What I thought in my heart has been fully explained, which is to repay the adult's kindness for taking in my father and daughter. The future affairs are not relevant. I will say goodbye first. The girl is afraid that she has woken up in her nap." After that, she bowed and left.
