Chapter 982 Knife, pen, gold!
Chu Huan thought of Linlang in her heart. She hadn't seen her for a while, but a feeling of longing arose in her heart. After a slight contemplation, she finally asked: "What does the last harvest that sir mean?"
"Actually, the lord has taken this step." Du Fu said: "The Xiguan people were excluded and suppressed, not only the gentry of Xiguan, but also the local officials in Xiguan. Among them, Gongsun Chu was the leader... This time, the execution of Gongsun Chu and other officials in public was not only the intention of demonstrating to the adults, but also the officials in Xiguan were also demonstrating to the Xiguan officials!"
Chu Huan frowned, and Du Fugong continued: "Now the situation in Xiguan, the important positions in the prefecture are vacancies, and seven or eight out of ten are occupied by the Zhu party members. These people were granted due to their merits. Although they were in their position, because the time was too short, they still didn't know much about the situation in Xiguan. Therefore, some yamen that had to be dealt with in fact were still the former officials of Xiguan. Now the Zhu party is in great power, but the power of local officials in Xiguan still exists. Beheading Gongsun Chu in public is actually to give those officials a warning to let them understand that there is no good end to be an enemy of the Zhu party."
Chu Huan understood and asked, "What sir means is that this last intention is to win the hearts of Gongsun Chu and the Xiguan officials?"
"The enemy's enemy is his friend." Du Fu said: "The Lord is sitting in this position now, and the Zhu Party is your opponent. There is no doubt about this. The Zhu Party excluding the officials of Xiguan. Both sides are like water and fire. The officials of Xiguan have common opponents. Then the officials of Xiguan and the officials of Xiguan naturally have common interests. Therefore, if the adults can recruit these people, it will naturally be of great benefit to the adults."
Chu Huan thoughtfully said, "Actually, I don't know that if I have to deal with Zhu Lingyue's followers, I can't be their opponents with my own strength... If the officials in Xiguan are really used by me, I will naturally be unable to ask for it, but... why would they listen to me? The Zhu party is an outsider, but in the eyes of the officials in Xiguan, I also belong to an outsider...!"
"So you should make them treat you as your own person as possible." Du Fu said: "Your Madam saved Gongsun Chu and others this time, and you are already close to them. The local officials in Xiguan were previously considered to be without a leader. Now that you have saved Gongsun Chu, Gongsun Chu should be a well-deserved leader among the local officials. Now that his crimes are cleared, the officials in Xiguan will regard him as a leader. If you can make good use of Gongsun Chu and then use and promote local officials in Xiguan, you should let them lean towards you."
Chu Huan said: "Actually, I don't want them to obey orders, I just hope to work together to change the chaotic situation in Xiguan."
Du Fugong shook his head and said, "My dear words are wrong. In the final analysis, the so-called joint efforts must be directed from above and down. My dear one must have absolute authority. My dear one wants to gain a foothold in the northwest and change the current situation, three things are indispensable...!"
"Three things?"
Du Fugong looked solemn and said word by word: "Knife, pen tip, money!"
Chu Huan repeated the whisper, then smiled bitterly, "Besides having this pen tip of a gentleman, I seem to... have two more missing!"
"It's more than two." Du Fugong said solemnly: "Du's power has nothing to do with big things. The so-called nose is the heart of the people, prestige, and a group of aides who devote themselves to the adults... The adults only have two hundred guards, which is not considered a knife, just like money..." Du Fugong shook his head and sighed: "Sir, how much money can the adults mobilize?"
Chu Huan leaned on the chair, silent for a moment, as if he understood something, and said, "Listen to you, it is better to read for ten years. Every word of Mr. is very good, and he has benefited a lot...!" He sat up straight and said, "As the saying goes, since he comes, he will be at ease. Since he has come here, we will stay here, get the knife, the pen, and the money!"
Chu Huan was extremely grateful to Du Fugong at this time. When he came to Xiguan, he actually crossed the river by feeling the stones. The road ahead was confused. He knew that it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Xiguan, but it was just a feeling. His understanding of the situation was not clear. However, Du Fugong's words today made Chu Huan understand his own disadvantages and advantages, and the road ahead seemed to become clearer, at least he understood what he needed to do next.
Du Fugong stayed in the study and wrote memorials for Chu Huan. Chu Huan was still thinking about Su Niang in her heart. When she left the study, she realized that it was already midnight. Before she knew it, she had said something to Du Fugong in the study and said for half a day.
A breeze blew, and Chu Huan felt refreshed. He looked back at the study. The lonely lamp flashed, but he felt moved in his heart. He took Du Fu Gong home just to open the peacock's screen. But he never expected that Du Fu Gong was extremely talented and could be called his behind-the-scenes think tank. At this time, such people were indeed indispensable around him.
Carrying hands on the trail, I thought in my mind that the first thing I had to deal with was the plague, but tomorrow I would gather the officials to discuss how to organize the plague to fight against the plague. Although I would have to fight in the officialdom in the future, in the face of the plague, I could only put other things aside.
When he walked outside the Su Niang Courtyard, he ran into someone head-on. Chu Huan reacted quickly and flashed to the side. He saw it clearly that it was Sun Boliu. Sun Boliu was also shocked. He saw it clearly and hurriedly said, "Sir!"
Chu Huan knew that Sun Boliu was treating Su Niang. Although Su Niang's condition had improved greatly and the swelling in her body had long since dissipated, Chu Huan still asked Sun Boliu to diagnose Su Niang every day. Last time when she was separated from Beiyuan County, Pei Ji asked Chu Huan to bring some medicines back and let Su Niang insist on taking them. Those medicines can not only completely eliminate the epidemic poison in Su Niang's body, but also replenish qi and blood. With Sun Boliu here, Sun Boliu was responsible for sacrificing the medicine for Su Niang every day.
"What's going on with Madam?" Chu Huan asked quietly.
Sun Boliu immediately said: "Mrs. has completely recovered, her pulse is stable, without any hindrance, and her qi and blood are unblocked... Don't worry. The last time there was still some of the medicinal materials. Although it was replenishing qi and promoting blood, it was only three parts of the medicine. If the body was healthy, there was no need to take it anymore. I plan to let the lady take it for another two days and not take it anymore."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Mr. Sun is proficient in pharmacology, so do what you want... Has the wife already gone to bed?"
"Just just went to bed." Sun Boliu said: "By the way, do you know that Mr. Lin seems to have a problem with his health?"
"Young Master Lin?" Chu Huan was stunned and reacted instantly. Young Master Lin naturally pointed to Lin Daier, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Young Master Lin?"
"I heard that my body was a little uncomfortable." Sun Boliu said: "The villain heard that from yesterday's entry to today, the food sent to Mr. Lin was delivered intact. After a whole day, I didn't eat anything. In the afternoon, the two Gentile girls came to find the villain and asked the villain to show Mr. Lin. The villain went there, but Mr. Lin kept his door and refused to enter...!" Sun Boliu showed a puzzled and embarrassed expression on his face, "The prince Lin has a strange personality and is ill. It's okay to have some diseases, and there are no doubts about it for a long time, and...!" After a pause, he said worriedly: "Sir, I know that the plague in Xiguan is spreading, and Mr. Lin is in a wrong situation. It's not that the villain suspects that he has been infected with the plague. But if it is really infected with the plague, the sooner he knows, the better..."
Chu Huan's heart sank, and suddenly remembered that since she left the capital, she had taken care of Lin Daier too little in order to avoid suspicion. Thinking that she had been trapped in Yan Pingshan, it was Lin Daier who found a flaw and asked Xuanyuan Sheng to rescue her quickly. Later, she did not say anything grateful to Lin Daier, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
It’s not that he didn’t want to get along with Lin Daier alone, but along the way, there were not many opportunities to get along with him alone. Lin Daier sat on the carriage and could not be considered as being closed. Chu Huan could not get inside the carriage and stayed with Lin Daier. In the eyes of everyone, you should always pay attention. What’s more, the sisters seemed to be very close to Lin Daier and often talked. Even so, Lin Daier even declined the sisters to talk on the carriage. In this case, Chu Huan was even more difficult to get close to. In addition, there were indeed many things. After entering the city, Chu Huan had not even seen Lin Daier. At this time, when Sun Boliu mentioned Lin Daier, he even suspected that Lin Daier might be infected with the plague, which surprised Chu Huan and was a little bit blamed. Without saying a word, he turned around and left, saying, “Come with me!” He went straight to Lin Daier’s yard.
When Lin Daier chose her residence, she chose a quiet courtyard in the corner of the mansion. The Governor's Mansion was quite large. Chu Huan turned left and right for a long time and finally came to this courtyard. She saw that it was very deserted and there were not many people living here in the mansion. Lin Daier obviously also chose this place specially, deserted and looked very lonely. Chu Huan stood outside the yard gate, silent for a moment, and finally went forward and looked inside through the crack of the door. She saw the fire on the window paper in the room. Knowing that Lin Daier was not asleep, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
There was no reaction in the room. Chu Huan frowned slightly and finally said loudly: "Open the door, it's me!"
There was still no movement in the room. Sun Boliu was a little surprised. What an identity of Chu Huan, he was a governor-general official. When Mr. Lin heard Chu Huan's call, he ignored him. This made Sun Boliu unable to guess Mr. Lin's identity. Who has such courage? He even ignored the call of the governor.
Chu Huan heard that there was no movement inside, but he became worried. He looked at Sun Boliu and saw that Sun Boliu was looking at him with a strange look. In fact, he also understood that Sun Boliu would have such eyes aftertaste. He said seriously: "Mr. Sun, it may be that he is asleep. You can wait outside first, I'll go in and take a look!" He walked to the wall of the courtyard, took a deep breath, and jumped suddenly, jumping in shock. When he rose, one hand was already on the wall. With his arm, he turned on the wall and flew lightly, and then jumped from the wall into the courtyard.
Sun Boliu opened his mouth and was stunned. Although Chu Huan's light martial arts surprised Sun Boliu and what surprised Sun Boliu even more was the dignified governor. He couldn't call the door in his mansion and had to climb over the wall to enter the hospital. This is probably a strange story in the world.
