The next morning, when the news from the government officials was received, a storm broke out in the Guangping government office.

"What? Jin Yiwei's people took action? Let those refugees go!" He Muqing, the prefect of Guangping, exclaimed, and then his normally well-maintained face suddenly lost color, "What...what's going on? What are you doing?

An errand!"

The person who reported to him was the leader of these guards. Before, he was still looking bossy outside, but now he looked completely different. He was timid and had a cloth strip wrapped around his body. He looked seriously injured.

"Replying to the master, yes, they are a group of royal guards. Their waistbands are unmistakable! There was a group of them, and they suddenly besieged them. Although the younger ones resisted desperately, they were outnumbered and had to let them succeed...

"

"Jinyiwei...Jinyiwei...why would they do such a thing?" He Muqing muttered to himself after figuring out what happened.

"Young ones don't know. We only know that the Jin Yiwei came over from the beginning and asked the young people to let the refugees go." The big man lowered his head, "Of course the young people didn't listen, and in the end they didn't say anything.

He killed his hand and injured several younger brothers."

"These imperial guards are so vicious!" He Muqing stamped his feet and cursed, "The Holy Emperor is so wise that he restricted the factory guards as soon as he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect that."

He was feeling uneasy now, deeply afraid that these Jin Yiwei were here to investigate what he was doing secretly.

Recruiting thieves, killing refugees, taking bribes and bending the law were all taboos for a local official like him, but he did them all.

What should we do if we are really held accountable by the court for this kind of thing?

After a while, he managed to calm down and ordered his subordinates to call his most trusted aide, Mr. Bai.

This Mr. Bai is in his fifties, and his hair and beard are mostly gray. He was originally a scholar who failed to pass the exams. After several failed exams, he lost all hope of pursuing an official career, so he simply went to work for others.

Teachers and staff. After decades of traveling around the world, he has seen many big scenes and has become half a human being. It is precisely because of this that after he got the position of prefect, he

So he spent money to hire him and made him his confidant.

p> And this Mr. Bai did not disappoint Magistrate He. He has handled many affairs for him in the past few years. He arranged the affairs of the Yamen in an orderly manner and also gave him many ideas. In fact, it was he who recruited bandits for Magistrate He.

An idea to bring up.

Therefore, when he encountered a problem this time, he immediately asked someone to call Mr. Bai over without thinking.

"Dong Weng, something big has happened?" As soon as Mr. Bai came in and saw the anxious look on Zhifu He's face, he probably knew something.

"Yes, Mr. Bai, something big happened!" He Zhifu nodded, and then transferred all the news he just heard to Mr. Bai.

"Mr. Bai, the matter has come to this, what should I do?" After he finished speaking, he immediately asked the other party anxiously, trying to get an idea. "Is it true that the court intends to hold me accountable?!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong!" After all, he has seen a lot of great things in the world over the years. Mr. Bai was not so anxious. Instead, he comforted the prefect, "I think this matter is very strange!"

"Weird?" Zhifu He was a little confused.

"Think about it, Dong Weng. If the court finds out about Dong Weng and wants to pursue it, it only needs a few official documents. Why would there be a need to let a group of royal guards release him?" Mr. Bai did not hesitate.

"As I see below, they are definitely not here to target the prefect."

"Really?" He Zhifu was overjoyed.

"Think again and see if there are any other situations?" Mr. Bai turned to look at the big man standing respectfully aside, "Didn't you just say that they held you hostage for a while? You also saw them on the way.

What possible situation? Think about it carefully, tell us, and don’t miss it.”

"Yes..." The big man lowered his head and thought hard for a while.

"That's right!" After a moment, he raised his head again, as if he had thought of something, "After walking for a while, an old man also walked with them. This old man was about sixty years old, with a big face.

He has no beard and speaks in a high-pitched voice, just like...just like..."

"Like a eunuch?" Mr. Bai asked back.

"Yes!" The big man woke up from a dream.

"Okay, I understand, please step back first." A smile appeared on the gentleman's face, and then he waved his hand, telling the big man to step back.

When there were only two people left in the room, Zhifu He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Mr. Bai, what's going on? I still haven't figured it out..."

"Dong Weng, a group of royal guards, and an old eunuch, such a group... Dong Weng still can't guess it?" Mr. Bai still smiled slowly.

"Stop being so secretive!" Magistrate He said a little anxiously, "Mr. Bai, please tell me clearly!"

"Don Weng, there is no need to panic. This is definitely not the imperial court dealing with Dong Weng..." Mr. Bai was still talking and laughing, "I predict that this group of people must be the ones who escorted Eunuch Wei Zhongxian to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum!"

"Wei Zhongxian?" Magistrate He was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized, "Wei Zhongxian... Yes! They left the capital more than ten days ago. Counting the days, they should be here... It turns out it's them. It turns out it's them.

So! No wonder!”

Then, he became a little confused again, "But if the Jin Yiwei who took action were the group of people escorting Wei Zhongxian, why... why should they meddle in other people's business?"

"Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't mind their own business. Since they did this, I guess they must have a purpose." Mr. Bai gently stroked his gray beard, "Dong Weng, they...

They were afraid that they were bribed by Eunuch Wei, so they followed Eunuch Wei to surrender to Zhao Jin! These refugees are just tools they use to hide others, and they will definitely mix among these refugees and then sneak into the territory of Xuzhou! "

"What?!" This conclusion shocked Zhifu He once again.

Eunuch Wei, vote for Zhao Jin?

If Mr. Bai hadn't said it, he would have thought he was telling a joke. Who doesn't know that Eunuch Wei and Zhao Jin are sworn enemies today? Eunuch Wei was already dealing with Zhao Jin when Zhao Jin was not as powerful as he is now, and the result was...

It inspired him to go north to the capital and cause unprecedented chaos. How could Eunuch Wei actually surrender to his sworn enemy?

"Dong Weng, if it were normal, Eunuch Wei would not be like this, but now... the situation is very different." Seeing that Zhifu He still didn't believe it, Mr. Bai explained, "Dong Weng also knows, Wei

The father-in-law is now a fallen phoenix. The power he once had is now gone. The political opponents in the court are still criticizing him and insisting on taking his life. If this is the case, then why can't Eunuch Wei die?

How can he make a living by surrendering to Zhao Jin? Everyone in the world knows that Eunuch Wei and Zhao Jin are sworn enemies, so Zhao Jin will take in Eunuch Wei even for the price of a thousand gold horse bones..."

After hearing Mr. Bai's very reasonable analysis, Zhifu He finally understood, "After hearing what you said, I finally understood. Yes, for the current Eunuch Wei, voting for Zhao Jin is probably the best option."

A trick that can help you survive in death. But...why did the guards in uniform who escorted him follow him?"

Before Mr. Bai could answer, he answered himself, "That's right. Eunuch Wei has been admiral of Dongchang for many years, and Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei at that time, was also his confidant. He should have many pawns in Jinyiwei, plus the

It's not impossible to provide gold and silver and let the Jinyi guards follow you to follow Zhao Jin... Hey, at this point, even the emperor's Jinyi soldiers are planning to find a way out for themselves?"

"The world is in chaos now, so it's not surprising to find a way out for yourself." Mr. Bai still smiled slightly.

"Mr. Bai, what do you think I should do?" Magistrate He asked again, "Are we just going to watch Wei Zhongxian lead this group of guards in royal robes, dragging the refugees to surrender to Zhao Jin?"

"I dare to ask Dong Weng. From what Dong Weng has seen, will the Ming Dynasty be getting better or worse in recent years?" Mr. Bai did not answer Zhifu He's question directly, but raised his head and looked at He Zhifu.

Magistrate. "Dong Weng, it's just you and me here. There's no need to be shy. Just say what's on your mind."

"It's a blessing to be able to maintain the current situation. How can it get better and better?" Because Mr. Bai is his number one confidant, Magistrate He did not pretend to be pretentious, but spoke his mind directly.

"People say that the new emperor is enterprising and has the air of a master of resurgence. But I think what the emperor is doing now is infinitely better than that of the previous emperor. Besides, the current Ming Dynasty is already riddled with many evils that are difficult to recover from.

What can the emperor do alone?"

"What Dong Weng said is that I have thought so for a long time. The Ming Dynasty is already in trouble and there is no way to save it." Mr. Bai did not shy away and nodded directly in agreement with him. "In today's imperial court, how many people can help us?"

Although Sun Shoufu is favored by the emperor and can be regarded as an upright man, his foundation is too shallow and he may not be able to instigate people in the court. The Donglin faction is a bunch of scholars who have not accomplished much. When they don’t have to do anything, they

You can be arrogant and put all the responsibilities on others, but now when it's their turn to do something, I don't think they can do it any better than others..."

Magistrate He nodded slightly, feeling that what Mr. Bai said made sense. "I understand. I have to turn a blind eye to this matter and not offend the people who go to Zhao Jin."

"It's good if Dong Weng understands." Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, except for the emperor, everyone knows that the way out for Ming Dynasty is not long. Now everyone is looking for other ways out. Even Eunuch Wei is thinking about it."

I am going to surrender to Zhao Jin. It is for this reason that I originally advised Dong Weng to summon some strong men to protect themselves. Now it seems that this alone may not be enough... The situation has become too fast, and Zhao Jin's power has expanded more than
