Chapter 229 The Road to Power

The arrival of Guan Haishan, the chief engineer of the temple, gave Lei Huang a few days of "construction site escape". In these days, he would ask almost every hour if there was a Feiying letter from Ye Tao. Lei Huang knew that this marriage was not something he could decide. This was not a question of whether he liked Sun Meier. Once he married Sun Meier, it would indeed allow Lei Yin Demon Sect to gain greater support in the north of Xiling. Sometimes he didn't have to pay too much attention to the suppression of Dao Mingzong, but it would also cause more considerations to Dongping and Yunzhou for his loyalty. Moreover, once he got married to Sun Meier, he would not be confident that he could maintain an acting state at all times and not show any flaws.

In addition, it was Sun Boping's problem. Sun Boping must not have proposed this marriage just because his daughter was fascinated by Lei Huang, but because she was attracted by the joint efforts of both parties, the benefits that could be brought to both parties: Lei Yin Demon Sect has a certain official backend, while Sun Boping has great local support. How to deal with Sun Boping's various requirements in the future? In particular, there must be some requirements that are contrary to the original intention of the establishment of Lei Yin Demon Sect. Lei Huang did not think that he might be able to pull Sun Boping to Dongping and become a deep nail nail to the top of Xiling Middle School, but Lei Huang was only a young man in his twenties after all. He was not sure to control a cunning person like Sun Boping, and did not dare to easily risk the danger of letting Sun Boping know that Lei Yin Demon Sect is actually a unique organization established by Dongping to absorb a high-level spy.

Although Lei Huang had heard of the developed communication system between the Dongping dark spies in Dongping, Yunzhou and Xiling, he could not imagine that in just a few days, relying on a series of messages such as flying eagles and pigeons, he had exchanged opinions on him and Sun Meier many times, which touched the hearts of many people. If Sun Boping could be recruited as a dark spy on Dongping, or through Lei Huang, he could control Sun Boping's land even if it was only a part of the actions. That would be considered extremely successful.

Of course, such success comes at the expense of Lei Huang's marriage happiness, but in fact, it can be seen from Lei Huang's situation that he is mentally prepared for this situation. The key question is whether Lei Huang, who is prepared in this way, can continue to think like this in a few years or even more than ten years, especially after having a child with Sun Mei'er in the future. It is hard to say whether Lei Huang will go to recruit others or be recruited by others. Regardless of whether he agrees with this matter or not, before making the final decision, there should be a sufficient estimate of Sun Boping and the forces behind him, and Lei Huang and the current energy of Lei Yin Demon Sect.

At this time, the news brought to Lei Huang was not Feiying from Yunzhou or Danyang, but in Xiling, the former chief of the Internal Guard. Cao Pojun, the secret spy commander stationed in Xiling, encountered this situation, because everyone was not easy to judge the situation, he simply handed over the power of decision to this old spy who had been rolling in conspiracy and tricks for almost his whole life.

"Master Sun," Cao Pojun used the name Lei Jun, who appeared in front of Sun Boping. The above name was Lei Huang's uncle. He was also Lei Huang's only elder. Facing Sun Boping, he was very calm and calm, which made Sun Boping unable to understand the details: "Master Sun looks at Huang'er so much. It is indeed a bit reasonable. Although the Lei family is not a wealthy family, there is no high-ranking official to support us. After all..." Cao Pojun's eyes turned, and he showed a very reserved look, saying: "After all, he still has some confidence. Huang'er's talent is a temporary choice, and it is not considered a humiliation. However, Lord Sun. If you have any other ideas, you might as well say it now. The Lei Yin Demon Sect is booming because of the good rules. Even Huang'er dares to be exceptional. Sir, if you have other thoughts, you may be disappointed."

Cao Pojun's "no exception" was extremely clever, and he pointed out that there were people behind the Lei Yin Demon Sect, but they were not able to do whatever they wanted because Lei Huang was a pope. He was scared by the public. He had already thought that there were people behind the Lei Yin Demon Sect to support him. After all, there were so many ordinary people organized by the Lei Yin Demon Sect like this. Although it seems cautious and gentle now, it has initially had the power to influence local politics. After continuing to develop, the strict structure of the Lei Yin Demon Sect can exert greater power. Even if no one supports him, he has long been attracted by those who are interested. Although Daoming Sect is rectifying the internal situation and trying hard to suppress the Lei Yin Demon Sect, those who don't like Daoming Sect, there are also people who want to take the Lei Yin Demon Sect to their own use?

"I don't know which powerful man can make the Leiyin Demon Sect have the power from nothing to what it is today..." Sun Boping sighed, but threw out his own problem.

Cao Pojun smiled slightly and said, "Sir, we are not familiar with that now. The Leiyin Demon Sect also wants to use the adults' connections to seek profit and avoid disasters. But if I tell you the boss now, if... I'm afraid I will have to turn my in-laws into enemies."

Cao Pojun's words were threatening, but it was not beyond Sun Boping's expectations. If the Leiyin Demon Sect had a strong backstage and had kept the backstage all day long, they would have been killed by Emperor Daoming and the ministers in the court who were close to Emperor Daoming. Sun Boping knew that it was time for him to make a decision. He knew that he was a practical official, especially in economic and local affairs. If there was no support, no support from the tycoons of the court or the promotion of powerful external forces, then his responsibilities as a governor would probably end. At most, a few years before he retired, he would be promoted to the Ministry of Revenue, and then retired with the position of Minister of Revenue as the Minister of Revenue. He was not satisfied with this.

In fact, he took over the local economic affairs of the entire Zhenbei Military Office and Taizhou on the front line, and maintained the supply of the Zhenbei Military Office without adding more local taxes. This kind of contribution was enough to win praise. But I don’t know if it was because no one in the court supported him, or because he dealt with a group of people when rectifying the corruption in Taizhou, offended their backstage, or he had never slandered his "friendly people" of Emperor Daoming... The court did not mention his diligence, and his new immediate boss, the governor of Taizhou, always caused trouble for him. Sun Boping felt that he might have changed and became more clear-cut, stronger, and more means. Can the Leiyin Demon Sect and their backstage provide him with these?

In Sun Boping's study, Cao Pojun and Sun Boping chatted for two hours. After that, no one knew what they talked about, but Sun Boping's proposal was accepted by Cao Pojun, the "elder". Within two months, the governor of Taizhou, Tang Long, was implicated and dismissed because of his son Tang Bo's rashness. Tang Bo's affairs were a big deal. He lost control on the way to the banquet in Xiling Kingdom, and eventually rushed into Prince Xiling's carriage.

This caused a large amount of chaos and eventually turned into a serious traffic accident with one death and twelve injuries. Although Tang Bo was deprived of his official position, he probably wouldn't have to turn over for several years. Tang Long was also scolded for improper education and was dismissed from his post. It is estimated that he would be transferred to a southern state to become a governor-level position in the second half of the year. Tang Long was not a loss, after all, a poor place like Taizhou is incomparable to the prosperity of the states adjacent to Chunnan in the south of Xiling.

Sun Boping seemed to have just sent a few people to Beijing to find out who the next governor was. You should know that the position of governor actually has a lot of overlap with that of governor. Sun Boping seemed to have expressed that if someone like Tang Long was sent to him who could not communicate, he would be ready to resign and return home without any trouble.

Unexpectedly, Sun Boping's envoy and gifts reminded several big men in the court who were quite disliked by Daomingzong. They recalled the attacks of officials in the court who were close to Daomingzong and even Daomingzong after Sun Boping's daughter got engaged with Lei Huang, the pope of Lei Yin Demon Sect, and the repeated conflicts with the great patrons of Daomingzong in local governance... After some activities, Sun Boping became the governor of Taizhou. This was something that Sun Boping himself did not expect.

Through such a thing, Sun Boping completely understood that the power behind the Leiyin Demon Sect is really unusual, and is probably far from being comparable to that of a great clan. He used gifts and inquiries to blast, and various news and winds to lay the groundwork for himself, and there were also "suggestions" and "reminders" from key staff who could speak around the boss. Even when designing an accident like Tang Bo hitting the prince's car, none of the things in this series seemed to have the shadow of Cao Pojun, that is, Sun Boping was the "Lei Army", but in total, he was everywhere. In order to get him the governor, he could make all kinds of arrangements and management points, and he could calculate it like Sun Boping. At least 500,000 or 100,000 taels of silver. This is not the only possibility that any family, aristocratic race or merchant can throw it out at will. That is, behind the Leiyin Demon Sect, there is a powerful country standing.

After thinking about this joint, Sun Boping was completely determined. Now things have become like this. Even if he wants to sell Lei Jun, Lei Huang may not be able to exchange his future. He is already the governor, but Xiang Shang is the glass ceiling of a hard-working official who does not support the bosses in the court. The rewards the court may have given him are not worth mentioning compared to the Lei Yin Demon Sect and Lei Jun can give him the future.

After the grand wedding of Sun Meier and Lei Huangdi, Sun Boping talked with Lei Jun again and finally confirmed the identity of Lei Jundi: formerly the chief supervisor of the Internal Affairs Guard of Dongping, currently the deputy director of the Dongping Intelligence Bureau, the supreme commander of the Dongping Intelligence Bureau in Xiling, in Dongping, his official position is second-rank... much higher than Sun Boping. From this moment on, Sun Boping simply turned to Dongping completely. He even accepted the two martial arts masters sent by Lei Jun into his mansion to "protect" him. When the two masters introduced themselves to him, he suddenly discovered that one of them was actually one of the key figures that caused the fire between the Eagle Hall of the Emperor Mingzong and the martial arts world: "Qingxin Sword" Gu Xi.

Sun Boping's governor was considered to be of great power. After becoming the governor, Jiang Xujing, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, completely changed his attitude towards him, because Jiang Xujing had to rely on Taizhou and rely on him to transfusion blood for the Zhenbei Army Army to ensure that he could stick to the northern defense line in an increasingly harsh surrounding environment. Especially the comprehensive dressing and training of Yunzhou made the Zhenbei Army Army's military strength increasingly weak, and he had to ask for more money, food and weapons than usual. The weapons and armor sold to Chunnan and smuggled from Chunnan to Xiling must also pass through Taizhou to reach Jiang Xujing's hands.

Taizhou's original local governance was centered on grain planting, with some other local industries. Since the spring of this year, the Leiyin Demon Sect has fully operated in the local and rural areas, fully exerting the role of mutual assistance and trust among the church people. Not only did everyone cooperate in spring sowing. The fields that were originally unable to fully utilize their production capacity because of the lack of labor in the family were fully utilized, and many of the abandoned land were reclaimed. With the efforts of the faculty and staff at all levels of the Leiyin Demon Sect, the spring sowing area in Taizhou has increased by about half compared with the same period last year. With the reasonable distribution of labor and field management, the yield per mu this year should have increased significantly compared to last year.

These are naturally the best news for the governor of Taizhou, Sun Boping, but they also contain a lot of pressure. These extremely detailed data made him sweat all over. The Leiyin Demon Sect and the Dongping Intelligence Bureau were able to grasp such detailed data in Taizhou. Although they were condoned by their own governor and the pervasiveness of the Leiyin Demon Sect, this comprehensive analysis and sorting ability was really amazing. But for Sun Boping, these are not very important issues. He was already on the road to power prepared for him by Dongping. What he needed to do was very simple, that is, obey the instructions.
