Chapter 637 Knife
Because of the Blackwater Project, Fengri City now has a different meaning in the entire Xuanqingwei's "territory". Even Jingxi became a little special. Jiang Cheng, who was the governor of Jingxi, was naturally treated differently by Pang Ban.
Before, Jiang Chengcheng was ordered to keep a close eye on the seven princes and all civil servants. Although the penetration of the Blackwater Project has not yet reached the point of "pervasiveness", Jiang Cheng has grasped some rough news and situations at the first time.
For example, the fighting in the south has been in full swing recently, and the situation in the imperial city has also begun to turn from darkness to light, and various forces have begun to stand up and raise their banners.
Jiang Cheng knew this situation well, knowing that this was a round of competition with the tacit approval of the emperor, and winning or losing would change the fate of many people, either soaring into the sky or falling into a thousand feet.
Jiang Cheng knew exactly what most of these people were thinking. It's nothing more than a bet, and this opportunity is really rare. Both inside and outside coincided with major changes, and perhaps the pattern of the Jingjiu Dynasty for the next hundred years would be determined during this period of time.
It's like playing money. If you want to win a tael of silver in your hand, you have to choose a point and put it on it. And now there are seven points on the table, which side do you press?
But these flags are not stamped with the logos or marks of the various forces themselves, but the names of the princes they fight.
In the past two years, the seven princes have been secretly managing their own forces, and now the emperor has gradually released the rumor that the "school exam" is approaching, which has further stimulated these princes to stride around to seize power.
Of course, this kind of "taking power" does not mean that the seven princes directly hold the actual power in their hands, but use their influence to influence those who stand in line and hold the real power through the standing of others and using themselves as the banner people.
This way of seizing power was acquiesced by the emperor.
Many people were in the election, but Xuan Qingwei stayed still from the top Pang Ban because of the system, standing tightly beside the emperor, not only keeping a distance from the princes, but even showing no false colors.
However, Xuan Qingwei has such a large body, special power, and is not even subject to the control of the law, and he is free from the military and civilian officials, so there will always be various people mixed in over time, even Climb to a high position in some positions. Under normal circumstances, these people with ulterior motives don't show up in Xuanqingwei, but it's hard to tell in special times.
The rumors of the emperor's "school examination" had already been released before, and Bai Changqing threw the plan of tightening money and food by the Ministry of Households this time on the temple and the emperor stayed in the middle. It depends on when the emperor shouted "start".
One of the wine jars on the wine table was soon emptied, and Jiang Cheng slapped away the sealing mud from the other jar and quickly filled it with Pang Banman. Having said that, he also somewhat understood the purpose of Pang Ban calling him here today. I'm afraid it has something to do with Liao Chengfeng.
"People have tempers, and they should react when their reputation is tarnished, otherwise they will be looked down upon." After another bowl of wine with Jiang Cheng, Pang Ban suddenly seemed to be arguing for Jiang Cheng.
What does this mean? Are you asking me to roll up my sleeves and fight Liao Chengfeng? Jiang Cheng's heart changed sharply.
"My lord, what do you mean?"
"Look at these first." Pang Ban put down the wine bowl in his hand, turned his palm over, and found a thick document, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng took the document and flipped through it carefully. From the first page, he knew that he was going to be used as a knife this time.
There are many contents in the documents, all about Liao Chengfeng, and they are all dirty things of Liao Chengfeng. There is corruption of ink, there is favoritism, and there are some things that pervert the law and pervert the right and wrong.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng didn't find it strange that Liao Chengfeng had these dirty things, and he didn't even think it was strange that Pang Ban could grasp such detailed details about Liao Chengfeng. If he didn't have this point, it would be impossible for Pang Ban to secure the position of commander. Jiang Cheng even felt that there might be a similar document in Pang Ban's hands to record every detail of Jiang Cheng.
However, although Jiang Cheng doesn't claim to be "good and clean", he is definitely far less dirty than Liao Chengfeng. Perhaps this document also had Pang Ban's purpose of beating him up on purpose?
"I didn't expect Liao Chengfeng to do so many nasty things behind his back!" Jiang Cheng was filled with righteous indignation, knowing that Pang Ban would tell him the matter later.
"Xuan Qingwei's business is too big, there are good and bad. However, pests like Liao Chengfeng are rare. It's just that Liao Chengfeng has a complicated background. You should know it well after working under him for a long time, right?"
"Yes, my lord. It is said that Liao Chengfeng is backed by several married Xiu clans, some distinguished nobles, and even the origin of the army."
"That's right. Liao Chengfeng's background is complicated and tough, and he usually hides it deeply and hard to handle. But since he chooses to deviate from Xuan Qingwei's bottom line, he can no longer be tolerated.
It's just that the current situation in the imperial city is sensitive, moving Liao Chengfeng will easily lead to many unfavorable interpretations for our Xuan Qingwei, so there must be a suitable excuse. "
Pang Ban watched Jiang Cheng say so much with a smile on his face, with an expression of "you should understand, right?"
Jiang Cheng smiled wryly in his heart, of course he understood such a simple matter.
"My lord, are you saying that you want to use the personal conflict between your subordinates and Liao Chengfeng as an excuse to create a dossier against Liao Chengfeng?"
Pang Ban nodded with a smile, very satisfied that Jiang Cheng did not continue to pretend to be stupid, and then said: "That's right. Liao Chengfeng's trouble is not easy to deal with directly in the current situation. At least we should cover it up so that we won't be confused by Xuan Qingwei. Get ahead of yourself. Let you handle this matter, can you handle it well?"
What can Jiang Cheng say? Only surrender should be. Then he put away the document that Pang Ban gave him.
"Remember, the above things are all ready-made, and you don't need to check them all over again. In terms of evidence, you can come to the commander's office when you file, and I will ask someone to hand you the file, but you have to hurry up, you must be in To complete this investigation before the end of November, I must at least control Liao Chengfeng. Do you understand?"
"Subordinates understand!"
On the branch of the moon, Jiang Chengcai came out of Pang Ban's small courtyard, and walked home with the night wind blowing without taking a carriage, with a serious expression on his face. He knew that Pang Ban was pushing him to the front as a shield, and the matter of cleaning up Liao Chengfeng would change from "Xuan Qingwei clearing up the internal pro-prince faction" to "revenge against personal grievances".
Although people with a discerning eye can tell the truth about the changes of these two names, there is at least a cover on their faces. The third prince behind Liao Chengfeng had no excuse to get angry directly, at most he was just expressing his dissatisfaction with the Yamen of the Governor of Jingxi.
As Pang Ban said, in fact, these concerns only came during the recent special period of the imperial city. If not, how could Pang Ban's character deal with Liao Chengfeng so obliquely?
